Shaokang and Nu Ai exchanged glances, as if they felt unfathomable, and they also felt a different depressing atmosphere from the past.

After a long time, Hou Yan spoke:

"Shaokang is fourteen years old, Nu Ai is thirteen years old, from birth to now, are you happy?"

"Hmm!" Both nodded at the same time.

"Seeing you happy, we as elders are also happy. And hopefully this joy will continue. So, there are a lot of things that I wanted you to know about, but I haven't told you about them, because I'm afraid that you won't be happy. ”

"Eniang, I'm fourteen years old, I'm not afraid to know anything!" Shaokang is very courageous.

"E-niang, I'm not afraid!" Nu Ai said.

"Kang'er, actually, I am your mother, but Xi Muxiu is not your father." Hou Yan said slowly.

"What?" Shao Kang suddenly stood up from the stool, and he and Nu Ai showed surprised eyes at the same time.

"Daddy, really?" Shaokang asked Ji Muxiu in surprise.

"Really!" Hiki nodded painfully.

"Grandma, is it true?" Shaokang turned to Xu'er.

"Really!" Xu'er also had a heartache expression.

"And who is my real father? Where is he? Although Shaokang was a little sad, he did not roar, but sat down calmly, he knew that now was not the time to roar.

Hou Mian adjusted his emotions, sat down next to Shaokang, and patiently told him about Dayu's water control, Xia Qi Liguo, Taikang's loss of the country, Zhongkang's cold heart, Xiangxiang's suicide, Hanxun's annihilation of Xia, and the escape of the water cave.

"Father—" After hearing this, fourteen-year-old Shaokang couldn't help crying.

"Brother Shaokang and I are actually - not brothers and sisters?" The surprised Nu Ai also cried.

"It's not a brother or sister, but it's better than a brother and sister." Xu'er wiped her tears from her tears and said, "Looking at your happy appearance, we have never been able to bear to tell you the truth, for fear of tarnishing your innocent hearts. ”

"But the reality is cruel!" Hou Yan wiped his tears and wiped away his tears for Shaokang. Said

"Han Xun has been inquiring about our news. If he knows, not to mention the bad luck, he will have to be affected by the country. Therefore, Eniang, Daddy, and Grandma don't object to you making friends, but I'm afraid that because of our friends, our identities will be exposed. I take this opportunity to tell you the truth, and I hope that you will act prudently. In the future, if Shaokang can make a difference, he must - revive the Xia Dynasty! With that, her tears came again.

"E-niang, Daddy, Grandma, I can do it!" Shaokang stood up, his tearful eyes shining with determination, and the flames of revenge were already burning in his heart.

Looking at Shaokang's hot and burning eyes, Hou Yi said: "You are still young, you need to continue to grow up, and you need to wait for the opportunity." ”

"Kang'er, what matters now is to learn skills, to learn something solid, not just a slingshot. Stealing some simple tricks is not good! Hiaki said solemnly.

"Daddy, from now on, you are both my father and my master. I hope you will teach me martial arts and teach me skills! Shaokang "plopped" and knelt down in front of Ji Muxiu.

"I also want to learn, follow Brother Shaokang to fight the world!" Nu Ai also knelt with Shaokang.

"Girl's family, what skills do you learn?" Ji Muxiu said angrily.

"Yes! A woman is virtuous if she is not talented! Girls don't learn. Xu'er also spoke.

"Nu Ai, follow Eniang to learn needlework!" Hou Mian persuaded.

"Brother Shaokang, you say-" Nu Ai gave a look of help.

Since childhood, female Ai has been a part of Shaokang's life. If there is no female Ai's company, how boring life will be! So Shaokang said:

"Eniang, Daddy, Grandma, although Nu Ai is a girl, but when she plays with me, she climbs mountains, climbs trees, lays birds, and hunts hares, everything! She must be no worse than me in learning kung fu. Please grant her request! ”

"Since Shaokang said so, let her learn with Shaokang!" Hou Yi said.

"These two children have always been together. If you separate them, one to practice martial arts and the other to do needlework, I'm afraid they won't be able to adapt to it! Xu'er said.

"Then from now on, I will accept two apprentices!" Hiaki Xiu agreed.

"Daddy, the master is above, and I will be worshiped by the apprentices!" The two clever ghosts looked at each other and said in unison. And together they slammed their heads on the ground.

"Hurry up!" She helped them up and said, "From tomorrow onwards, when the rooster crows, we will get up and go to practice after breakfast." Practice for two hours in the morning - the hour begins and the hour ends; Lunch break; In the afternoon, I practiced for an hour, after passing the test. How about our normal grazing, planting, hunting, chopping firewood? ”

"Listen to Daddy!" The two said in unison.

The next day, as soon as the chickens crowed, they got up quickly. After breakfast, Shaokang and Nu Ai went to the place where they practiced with their father. In the early morning, Phoenix Mountain lies peacefully in the smoke and rain of green trees, like a fairy with a light veil, which is so magical and charming.

Phoenix Mountain, the mountain is majestic, the peaks are beautiful, the ancient vines are entangled, and the winding path is secluded. The mountain breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers overflows, refreshing people's hearts. The drizzle kisses, the grass is verdant, the air is fresh, and it is intoxicating.

Along the winding mountain road, through the tall pine forest, and in the shadow of a tall peak, they saw a cave.

In the haze, Shaokang felt that the entrance to the cave was very large. The entrance to the cave was covered with green moss, wild penny, and thatch. On the top of the cave more than six feet high, a large field of green vines hung down, covering the cave door.

"It's here, come in!" Daddy said, "I dug this cave. From the day I lived in seclusion in Phoenix Mountain, I wondered if our family needed a more secluded place to hide. At the same time, you can practice martial arts. The hole is large to allow light to come in. ”

Shaokang and Nu Ai walked in and took a look, so tall and big! A cool air came to my face, a little cold, but very quiet. The front of the hole is a kang, and there is a stove, a pot, a bowl, and a stool next to it.

In one corner, they saw beautiful and peculiar stalactites and stalagmites, which added a lot of color to the cave. There is a small patch of grass in the cave, which gives the cave a pale cyan color.

The rocks in the cave are craggy, fantastical and abnormal, giving people a wonderful feeling. Between the cracks in the stone walls are dense and opaque moss, full of infinite vitality.

After Shaokang and Nu Ai stood still, Ji Muxiu began to cheer them up:

"Such an empty cave is enough to practice martial arts, it depends on whether you are determined or not! Fate is not a mysterious force, but the fruit of the flower of the self. Martial arts training requires confidence and, more importantly, a brave spirit. Even if you stumble all the way and are bruised all over your body, you must know how to persevere! ”
