Hearing Xiang Yue say such an incredibly good condition, the room fell silent, and even Zhou Qingyun was dumbfounded.

At this moment, he saw Zhu Shishi put the wine bowl on the table, glared at Xiang Yue and said to the old man: "If I let my child do anything that hurts the heavens and reason, then I can't." ”

Maybe it's the wine that strengthens people's courage, or maybe it's the connection between father and son, Zhu Shishi, who is usually cowardly and honest, stared at Xiang Yue with no intention of retreating, and his mother Zhu Wangshi on the other side was also full of determination, Zhu Da felt that he should say a few words, although the conditions proposed to Yue were a bit unbelievable, but there may not be any ulterior motives, just inquire clearly, there is no need to be so stiff.

"Daddy......"

"Shut up! Don't interject with small children! ”

Zhu Shishi, who has always doted on his only son, was unceremonious at this time, and the atmosphere froze when he saw it, Xiang Yue looked at the old man on both sides, but he laughed out loud, shook his head and said, "Do you think the conditions offered by the old man are too good?" How can there be such a good thing in the world? ”

That's true, this kind of food and shelter, teaching skills, and allowing him to go home to work and help, this is completely unilateral payment, without any demand, no wonder the Zhu family and his wife think that he wants to be unfavorable to their son.

"The old man's words haven't been finished yet, those things just now were said to the two of you, and now the old man wants to ask Zhu Da, the conditions are here!" Xiang Yue Xiangbo's expression became solemn, which made the Zhu family's parents and Zhou Qingyun very stunned, which completely regarded Zhu Da as an adult.

Zhu Da sat up straighter and said, "Just ask your uncle." ”

This upright answer made Xiang Bo sigh with emotion, "This looks like a book, they all say that people have seven senses, some are born to open, and some will only open when they encounter life and death", Zhu Da naturally will not explain this, these occult sayings can explain some of their own changes and unusual, why bother to explain.

"Zhu Da, you didn't come to my house to eat and live for nothing, nor did you learn my skills in vain, if you want to learn from me, you have to do one thing, you have to catch three fish every day, and you have to make it delicious, can you do this?"

Hearing Xiang Yue's question, the room was quiet again, the Zhu family's parents looked at each other, Zhou Qingyun opened his mouth wide, even Zhu Da himself was confused, he went to be reckless and was not agreed, and he didn't pay attention to it when he went with the fish, and playing with Zhou Qingyun for a few days must not be the main reason, but when Xiang Yue Xiangbo came back, why did he agree? And because it's this fish?

There is no way to eat fish in this area of Baibao Village, and I learned from the "eighth uncle" who came during the day that I am afraid that there are not many people who eat fish in the Datong area, but this will not be a reason to accept apprentices, Xiang's family is not short of wine and meat, and this Xiang Yue Xiangbo does not seem to be a greedy person, nor does he seem to spoil children, and he will not agree to accept apprentices because Zhou Qingyun likes to eat.

As for playmates and the like, not to mention, learning martial arts and playing around together every day are completely different things, and Zhu Da racked his brains and couldn't think of a reason.

Over there, Xiang Bo picked up the wine gourd and poured himself a bowl, took a sip and said: "Little brother of the Zhu family, you don't go out much, don't think that the world is so peaceful, and don't think that the Tartars are still far from our side, except for the Tartars, don't the horse thieves and bandits kill people?" Don't those old men who ride horses with knives and horses kill people? Learning martial arts to strengthen one's body, it is always good to have a self-protection power, we don't want to hurt others, but we also have to prevent being harmed, at least we must be able to run. ”

The Zhu family and his wife looked at each other, and neither of them made a sound to justify, although they had never seen any battles, they had not experienced military disasters, but the older generation had told about the tragic situation, and the two beacon fires and smoke that ignited in the sky were even more disturbing, in fact, every family in the village was cleaning the cellar and preparing dry food, and everyone was preparing for emergencies.

However, in such a closed and quiet village, the villagers and even Li Zongqi have not experienced anything, they are used to shrinking their heads, and they always feel that if they don't know that they can't hear or see, they don't happen, and they just have to get by.

"It's right to learn martial arts, but why doesn't the old man agree to you, because you can't learn, you can run and jump, and you're smart, there's nothing you can't learn, why don't you agree, because you can't eat meat a few times a year!"

The room became quiet again, I didn't expect it to be such a reason, in Zhu Da's memory, the number of times he could eat meat would not be more than five times a year, and he couldn't eat it every time, Zhu's parents were a little ignorant, but Zhu Da immediately understood, if he couldn't eat meat, he couldn't support a lot of exercise, and he couldn't even meet the basic physical exertion, and he couldn't talk about learning martial arts, which was the same as supplementing protein and fat by fishing by himself.

Xiang Yue Xiangbo took another sip of wine, and he gushed endlessly at this time, "Don't think that you can hold on to it when you are full, you owe it to eat food, if you don't eat meat, you can't feel anything when you're young, and when you're old, all kinds of diseases and injuries will come out, and you can't die well." ”

The Zhu family's parents were ignorant when they heard this, but Zhu Da understood it very clearly, and when Xiang Yue said this, he said self-deprecatingly: "The old man can still hold on now, and I am afraid that he will not die well in a few years." ”

The atmosphere was even more dull, but fortunately, Xiang Yue continued: "You can't eat meat for more than ten days a month, what martial arts to learn, just farm honestly, your family is small, and life in the village is quite passable, but it is still difficult to eat meat, but you can catch fish, and you can make fish delicious, this is almost the same as eating meat?" ”

"Uncle Xiang, can this fish be compared to meat?" This is what his father Zhu Shishi asked, the couple has worked hard these days, and they have the spirit to do anything, but they don't think that this fish is good, for them eating meat is the supreme satisfaction, and fish is a second-class thing.

"I thought the same when I was young, when I was a soldier, the lord above came from the south, he said that this fish and meat are the same, if you eat sea fish, I am afraid that it is better than this meat, the old man just listened to him, and he never saw him do it, so he never took it seriously, I didn't expect your Zhu Da to do it."

But what does this fish have to do with the apprentices, Zhu Da is not in a hurry to ask, he knows that there is a follow-up.

"It is said that the old man is not short of this fish, not bad for this bit of oil and water, the old man I took Qingyun to the mountains for a walk, how can I not come back empty-handed, the taste of birds and beasts is still much better than this fish, but it is not good to enter this mountain later!" When Xiang Bo Xiangyue said this, he drank all the wine in the bowl, and his face became gloomy.

Xiang Lao Han glanced at Zhu Da, and then glanced at Zhou Qingyun, Zhu Da listened attentively there, Zhou Qingyun stared at the dried meat that the adults didn't eat, Xiang Yue shook his head slightly, and said in a muffled voice: "There were leopards in the mountains a few days ago, there should be a litter of leopards coming, this is nothing, how can you catch a pit with a bow and a bow, but this time I went out to run and buy and sell and got the news, there are more than a dozen thieves who have entered the mountain, and I don't know where they are hiding." ”

When it came to "leopard", the Zhu family and his wife already had a look of fear on their faces, and when it came to "thief soldiers", Zhu Da couldn't understand why there was such a big reaction, but Zhou Qingyun had an unconvinced expression on his face.

“...... Leopards, when I was a child, the children of the Cha family in the village were taken away by leopards...... Why are you still making trouble with the thieves......" Father Zhu Shishi muttered a few words, and his voice was actually a little trembling.

"Xiaoda, don't go to the river, in case there is a mistake." Mother Zhu Wangshi also hurriedly spoke.

Xiang Bo shook his head over there and said: "This is ten miles away from the deep mountains, how dare the leopards come out, the thieves are also afraid of clearing it, and this Baibao Village has no oil and water, so it won't come over." ”

After saying this, he joked and said: "The world is so restless, it's not bad to learn martial arts and strengthen your body, Zhu Da, you are crooked, the old man is also old, a few sips of wine in his stomach, the more he speaks, the more he speaks, the more he can't get meat, he can't get meat if he can't enter the mountain, relying on these salt goods, it's okay to eat salty food, but it's not okay to buy meat, besides, it's not a county market, where is there so much meat to buy, and I can't afford it!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Da understood that Xiang Yue Xiangbo's consideration was actually similar to his own consideration of seeking nutrition for exercise.

"Old man, it's nothing for me to eat a few bites, but I can't delay Qingyun, he is the time when his body is laying the foundation, Zhu Da, your fish is going to make a living, as long as you can keep up with the fish, Qingyun's body can keep up, if you can't keep up with the fish, you don't need to learn this martial arts."

This was said too directly, and it was said in person, the faces of the Zhu family's parents became ugly, and the atmosphere was not bad, but suddenly there was no human affection at all.

However, Zhu Da was very calm, because there were not so many favors to talk about, and it was a good thing that the other party was willing to explain the conditions so clearly, but Zhou Qingyun beside him had a look of shame on his face, and he must have felt embarrassed in front of his friends.

Zhu Da cleared his throat and said: "Uncle Xiang, as long as this river is not dry, as long as no one casts nets to catch fish, I have been able to catch fish in the past few years, but I want you to help you buy some fishing equipment, digging pits and fishing is completely lucky, and it will be useless in the long run." ”

"Equipment, this is easy to say, Zhu Da, don't lie, you can't catch a fish, even if I teach you, your body won't be able to hold it."

"Uncle Xiang, it's related to my own business, I won't lie, but I also have a few things I hope Uncle Xiang promises, if the fish I catch, if Uncle Xiang and Qingyun are enough to eat, I will bring the rest to my family, Uncle Xiang sells salt, I think it can be cheaper for my family to buy salt."

Xiang Yue and Zhu Da's parents all looked at Zhu Da, there was a difference on Xiang Yue's face, and Zhu Da's parents were surprised and moved on their faces.

"Zhu Da, this kid really looks like an adult, it seems that this illness has opened his mind!" Xiang Bo sighed, then nodded and said: "I agreed to both of these things, the old man is not a stingy person, you have to be filial, how can the old man stop you." ”

Hearing the other party's promise, Zhu Da returned to the ground again, solemnly kowtowed and saluted, and said, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”

This is like a drama, but Zhu Da's serious attitude can be understood by anyone, this is the real apprenticeship, even the old man who was sitting on the kang sat up straight, nodded solemnly and replied: "From this time on, you are my apprentice!" ”

Zhu Da's parents glanced at each other, Qi Qi sighed, but did not interject to speak, after Zhu Da stood up, he saw Zhou Qingyun's face full of joy, which made his heart warm, although the friendship was only a few days, it was a sincere friendship.

But at this time, Zhu Da had doubts in his heart, Xiang Bo accepted himself as an apprentice for the sake of Zhou Qingyun's growth, the two of them didn't look alike, and they didn't even let each other change their names after adoption, but they treated him so selflessly, what is the relationship between the two people?
