"My father-in-law hasn't been so happy for a long time."

Chang Sihao looked sideways and saw that it was Xiaozhuang who was speaking. She took apart the dozen buns on her head and combed them back into their original shape. She squatted next to the chicken coop and looked sideways at the direction where her grandfather was going.

He took a straw stick and drew randomly on the ground. Chang Sihao looked at her puzzled. Xiaozhuizi said: "My father-in-law doesn't like to talk much at times, unless I make him tell stories. But he talks with you.

I was very happy when I was talking, and I talked a lot about it." Chang Sihao asked, "Didn't he tell you about martial arts and Kung Fu?"

Xiao Zhuozi shook his head: "On the edge of the Yellow River, it's enough to know how to spear fish and cast a net. What's the use of learning those things? I'm not going to be a soldier to fight and kill."

Chang Sihao said: "It is good to keep fit without fighting or killing." Xiao Zhuizi smiled: "Sending rafts to carry passengers, fishing and working every day, these activities can also keep fit. Martial arts is martial arts, after all, it is

To be used to kill people."

Chang Sihao remained silent.

Xiao Zhuozi continued: "You always think about practicing martial arts to kill the soldiers and take back the city. Is this the idea of ​​​​strengthening your body? Practicing martial arts can strengthen your body and live for a few more years, but you have never thought about practicing hard every day.

Doesn't martial arts consume more time than the extra years of life? Besides, even if you live longer, what's the use? There is no difference between living for a hundred years and living for fifty years, but you will suffer more

It’s just a sin.”

Chang Sihao listened to her painful words and thought of his sister who died tragically. He couldn't help but shudder. He thought that in these troubled times, dying early might be a blessing? Then he thought about it and realized that this idea was really ridiculous and said: "

Master Cheng once said to me that life is not about death, living is about hope. Although living sometimes feels very bitter, if I die, I will have no chance to see such a vast and beautiful Yellow River in the world, and I will not have the chance to eat

Such delicious carp meat, let alone the chance to meet you. These are things I could never imagine in my dreams before. It can be seen that only by living, can the future have infinite possibilities. When my sister was alive, all she saw was drought.

The land, the thin villagers, thought that the whole world was like that, so she died like that. Isn’t it very pitiful? Martial arts can kill people, but it does not mean that you have to kill people after learning it. Nowadays, there are soldiers plundering and Tatars seizing the city on the border.

, there are bandits running rampant everywhere in the country, and I have learned martial arts, which can at least be used to save my life. If a bad guy comes to kill your father-in-law now, can you possibly protect him in your current state?"

Xiaozhuizi hesitated for a moment, looked gloomy, and shook his head. Chang Sihao said: "You are a girl. It doesn't matter if you don't learn martial arts. Your father-in-law asked you to learn needlework and needlework. It is very useful. Even if you don't embroider any flowers, at least you can do it."

You can sew and mend and make some clothes."

"I know how to sew! It's just...it doesn't look good when it comes out." The pendant rubbed his nose, thinking about the scene of threading needles and threads, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes: "That thing is too annoying, I would rather do more sewing.

Take out some fish to sell, and then buy ready-made ones.”

Chang Sihao smiled and said: "Think about it, would your father-in-law be happy wearing the clothes you bought, or would he be happy wearing the clothes you made?"

The pendant was a little frustrated, and lowered his head and said, "Of course I am wearing it..." He glanced at Chang Sihao and said softly, "What if it were you instead?" Chang Sihao asked, "What did you say?"

Huizi's face turned red, but he said nothing. Suddenly they heard the sound of rubbing footsteps. They turned around and saw that Chen Sheng was walking out of the thatched hut with a golden knife in one hand.

Chang Sihao hurriedly ran over to support him: "Chen... Manager Chen, are you awake? The injury is not healed yet, why did you get out of bed?"

When Chen Sheng saw him, a smile appeared on his face: "Little brother, you are not from the Qin family in Shanxi. You don't need to call me manager, just call me Brother Chen." Chang Sihao saw that his beard had grown under his chin.

There is something white in the black, thinking about his appearance, how can I call him big brother when he is already over forty? But now that he said it, he couldn't resist, so he responded: "Okay."

Chen Sheng looked around and asked, "Is this your home?" Chang Sihao quickly waved his hand and told the past, but did not mention that old man Baofu taught him martial arts. Chen Sheng nodded: "That's really important.

Thank you very much to this old man and Brother Chang." Xiaozhuizi said: "I also helped to carry you, and even fed you chicken soup!" Chen Sheng smiled and said: "No matter what the crime, Chen will never forget the girl's kindness.

!" Xiao Zhuozi felt very happy when he heard him calling her girl, and said: "I'll call my father-in-law back. You go into the house quickly, don't get caught in the wind."

When he was about to go out, he saw old man Baofu coming from a distance carrying a big turtle. Xiao Zhuizi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Oh, father-in-law, you caught the Yellow River turtle!"

Old man Baofu entered the hospital with a smile, turned the turtle over and put it on the ground. Chen Shengyi hurried over to salute and thank him. Old man Baofu waved his hand and told him not to be polite, and said: "Your injury is not healed yet, why did you go to the ground? Come into the house quickly.

Go ahead. I'll make turtle soup later, and you can drink some to replenish your qi."

Chen Sheng said, "Thank you for your kindness. Chen has an urgent matter to attend to and will set off immediately. I'm afraid I won't be able to drink the turtle soup." He took out a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Baofu:

"I can't repay my benefactor for saving my life. I don't have much money with me. I'll use this little money first. When I go back and finish the work, I will repay you generously." Chang Sihao looked at that.

The numbers on the banknotes add up to hundreds of taels. It should be noted that poor people farm and fish and only spend a few strings of copper coins throughout the year. This money can be enough to live for several lifetimes.

Old man Baofu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I've had to deal with you, haha." He collected the banknote.

Chen Shengyi smiled calmly, cupped his hands and said, "Well, Chen, please take your leave first." As he spoke, he leaned on the golden knife, staggered, and walked out. Old Baofu did not stop him.

Seeing his shaky appearance, Chang Sihao ran forward to support him and said, "How can you walk like this? You'd better take care of yourself." Chen Sheng shook his head and continued to move forward. Chang Sihao couldn't bear it and said, "You want to

Wherever you are going, I will take you there!" Chen Shengyi shook his head: "This road is quite far away, how can I let you take me there." Chang Sihao held his arm steady: "You rescued me that day, then

He is Chang Sihao's benefactor. What does it matter if he goes all the way to the end of the world?" Chen Sheng smiled and said: "It's okay not to mention that little thing." Chang Sihao said: "It's a small thing to you, but to Chang Si

Hao Lailai, it is a big deal to come back with this life. I will definitely give you a ride on this journey." Chen Sheng nodded: "Good brother, be loyal! My brother just made a mistake and underestimated his brother." Chang Sihao

Signing that it was okay, he turned back and walked to the old man Baofu. He knelt down without saying a word. He felt so sad and shed a few tears. Although he only got along with old man Baofu for two days, the old man treated him kindly and warmly.

, and gave careful guidance in martial arts. Xiaozhuizi was lively and playful, similar to his dead sister. Being with them, it really felt like I had found the feeling of going home. I was about to leave now, and I couldn’t let go. I wanted to call Master, Kebao.

Old Man Fu had something to say first, and Chen Shengyi was not far away, so he had to change his title and said: "Father, Chang Sihao wants to send my benefactor a ride. When things are done, I will come back to serve you."

Old Man Baofu looked at him with a lonely expression and said calmly: "Although I am old, I don't need anyone to serve me. You don't have to look for me when you come back. If you are interested, just go and pay homage to the Yellow River." Chang Sihao was stunned when he heard this.

, remembering that the old man once said that he would bow down to the Yellow River and learn from the heaven and earth, he thought, yes, he was secretly reminding himself of the harmony between martial arts and nature, Wei Wei nodded.

Standing up, he saw Xiao Zhuozi looking at him with a pair of beautiful eyes. He turned his eyes and said, "Brother Xiaohao, please come back early and let's play spearing fish together." Chang Sihao nodded:

"Okay, you have to learn the female beauty well, then I will play with you." Xiaozhuizi pouted, looked into Chang Sihao's eyes, but did not make any fuss, lowered his head and responded softly: "Yes."

Chang Sihao helped Chen Shengyi say goodbye to his grandparents, left the yard, and looked for a path to the northeast. After walking for a few miles, there was a rock hill in front of him, with several towering ancient trees beside it, and not a single pedestrian.

At this time, the sun was scorching and the weather was sultry. Chen Sheng was sweating on his forehead. Chang Sihao was afraid that he would not be exhausted, so he said: "Let's rest under the tree first." Chen Sheng nodded. The two came to an ancient tree and Chang Sihao
