Chapter 19: Green Ripple's Thoughts (2)
It's a very clichΓ© scene, but it's a foreshadowing for the future.

"Then go with him...... Afraid of what. Dong Yu smiled and said, "Sometimes, I think there are a lot of secrets in this guy. Maybe it's this mystery of him that makes me care about him. If I weren't his sister, I'd love this guy too. Hehe, but no matter how you look at it, I think it's still a little ugly. β
"The young master is not ugly, when the young master does things, he is very attractive!"
"Oh? He doesn't seem to have done anything other than practicing martial arts, fighting, and studying. β
Lu Yi looked at no one around, and said in Dong Yu's ear: "Miss, do you remember the day when the horse thieves attacked Lintao, that is, on our way to the ranch, the young master asked the fourth lady for a few craftsmen?" These nights, he always talks to the craftsmen secretly, and even has them move into the courtyard where he lives. β
Dong Yu was stunned and glanced at Dong Yu in the distance.
"What is he doing?"
Lu Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know either, it's very mysterious anyway." Last night, he and a few craftsmen ran to the stable, staring at the horses' hooves and pointing fingers for a long time. Those craftsmen are very excited. β
Dong Yu frowned, and said in his heart: What does Ugly want to do?
"By the way, when I was helping the young master clean his room this morning, I also saw a cowhide on the table, and some strange patterns were drawn on it. I asked the young master what it was for, and not only did he not tell me, but he also said that he didn't want me to tell outsiders. β
"Then why are you telling me?"
"Miss, you are not an outsider. I can see that the young master has a lot of respect for you. Also, I'm worried about whether he's sick or not. Recently, I often don't sleep at night, and sometimes I am busy with the craftsmen in the workshop. You also know that the young master is very hard to practice and study, and if you don't rest well, your body will collapse. β
Dong Yu understood, nodded and said, "Okay, I know about this matter, and I will find an opportunity to persuade him." β
At this time, Dong Li stood up and waved his hand towards the lion-mane beast crawling in the distance: "Ah ugly, let's stop here today, we will fight again tomorrow." β
The lion-mane snorted and turned away.
The people on the ranch had already been notified by Dong Li, so no one would stop the lion-mane beast. These days, the lion-mane beast no longer makes random movements. This quieted down the animals in the pasture a lot, and even if they saw the lion's mane, they wouldn't riot like they used to.
"Eldest sister, what are you talking about?"
Dong Yu smiled and replied, "It's nothing...... Ugly, where are you going now? β
"Go to the martial arts arena, I want to practice?"
"Alright then, we'll see you in the study...... By the way, don't work too hard, or you won't be able to get tired. β
Dong Li was stunned, looked at Dong Yu, and then looked at the green Yi standing timidly beside her, with a hint of warmth in her eyes. This girl still couldn't help but talk to the eldest sister. However, people can't be ignorant of good and bad, after all, she has good intentions.
These days, Dong Yan has been busy with stirrups and horseshoe things.
He could only come up with a concept, but it was endorsed by several craftsmen sent by Dong Yu. These days, he and the craftsmen are studying this matter. Don't look at the concept, but it will take some time to come up with the real thing.
Stirrups and horseshoes, these sound like just two small things.
But for this era, it is a big step. Horseshoes can extend the life of horses, and stirrups can allow generals to give full play to their abilities. Dong Li was very confident, with these two things, plus the lion's mane beast, Yadan and they didn't want to bargain from him again. When I think about it, it's worth the hard work.

Dong Li's martial arts arena was opened for him by the old lady alone.
There are stone locks built according to Dong Li's requirements, as well as horizontal bars, parallel bars, and wooden stakes. In addition, there are also a complete variety of weapons, allowing Dong Li to practice here to his heart's content.
However, Dong Yan did not practice as usual today, but leaned on a stone lock and took out more than a dozen cowhides from his waist pocket.
The cowhide is remembered with the hammer method of the general Fubo Ma Yuan who swept the world, which is very exquisite.
Dong Li began to learn hammer at the age of seven, and it has been five years since then. I have long memorized the above hammer technique, but the more I practice, the more I feel that something is not quite right. It stands to reason that the hammer technique is becoming more and more proficient the more he practiced, but he has always felt that it is a little difficult in the middle recently. Thirty-six hammer method, whenever there is a change, there will always be a momentary intermission.
When you practice hammering, it doesn't hurt.
But if it was a duel between the two armies, this little break was enough to lose your life.
Dong Li is a person who has died once, so he cherishes life more and more. What's more, he knew that he couldn't die, and if he did, his grandmother and the others would be in danger. You have to figure out, what is going on?
Leaning on the stone lock, Dong Li looked at the hammer score over and over again.
There is no mistake, when he practiced hammering, he practiced completely according to the method on the hammer spectrum, how could there be a problem?
Closing his eyes, Dong Li's mind kept repeating the hammer method on the hammer score.
After a few moments, he opened his eyes and studied it again with his hammer. At this time, the sun was in the sky, and a soft wind swept through the martial arts arena.
Dong Li suddenly felt that there seemed to be a shadow in the hammer score.
He quickly sat up and looked down, but the shadow was gone. Hammer was pointed at the sun again, and the shadows reappeared. Dong Li had an idea: Mo Cheng, is there a mezzanine in this hammer spectrum?
Scratching his head, Dong Li stood up and pulled out a short sword from the weapon rack.
Aiming at the sun, he gently opened a hole in the hammer according to the shadowed part, and a small piece of cowhide fell from it. Sure enough, it's something else. Dong Li was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up the other hammer scores, and shone them twice at the sun one by one, and there were things inside.
After a while, thirteen cowhides appeared in front of him.
Dong Li took these broken cowhides from his hand, put the hammer back into the pocket of his waist, and ran into the study in a hurry.
Lying on the table, fiddling with each other, adjusting the order and adjusting the orientation.
Even Cheng Fang walked into the study with a roll of bamboo slips, Dong Yan didn't notice it. Cheng Fang saw that Dong Li was busy, so he frowned at first and wanted to wake up Dong Yan loudly, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again. Sitting down on the side, he spread out the bamboo slips and looked at them with relish. The room was very quiet, only Dong Li's muttering.
