Chapter 398: The Past
Although it is the residence of the boss of the cottage, it is actually similar to the situation of other villagers, except that the house is larger, and there are more things in the house, perhaps because this is also a place where everyone meets to discuss things, and there is a long table in the middle of the room, which is one zhang long and five feet wide, and there is a long bench around the table, and it is estimated that there can be at least thirteen or fourteen people when it is full.
"Little one, sit down and drink some water first." Let Tan Xiaotian sit down at the table, Lei Ming picked up the clay pot on the table and poured a bowl of water for Tan Xiaotian, the bowl is coarse porcelain, the kind of one penny, the water is the spring water on the mountain, cool and sweet - there are robbers in the mountains, there are a few who will have the pleasant taste of chanting the wind and admiring the moon, ten taels of silver and one tael of tea and ten cents and one pound of tea in the mouth, there is not much difference in the mouth, but this kind of mountain spring water directly is enjoyable to drink and quench thirst.
From the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, to the cottage after the rush to the warehouse to find something, in the middle of a sip of water did not drink, just in a hurry to find something but did not feel how, now see the water will feel thirsty, take the bowl and drink it up, a bowl of water three sips and two sips to see the bottom.
"Hehe, come again." The child drank water happily, Lei Ming also felt happy in his eyes, and when he saw that the bowl was empty, he asked with a smile.
"Hmm." Tan Xiaotian was not polite, handed over the empty bowl in his hand, Lei Ming poured half a bowl of water, Tan Xiaotian dried it in two sips, and finally wiped the water stains on his mouth with the back of his hand, with a satisfied look on his face.
After drinking the water, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Lao Du followed in, holding a basket in his hand, which contained kernels, hazelnuts, jujubes, persimmons, dried apricots and other dried fruit foods, which were worthless in the mountains. All-you-can-eat with an open stomach is not a problem.
"Little one, I'll have to wait a while for dinner, let's have some snacks to cushion my stomach first." Putting the basket on the table, he grabbed a handful and brought it to Tan Xiaotian, Lao Du said with a smile.
"Thank you, uncle." After Tan Xiaotian thanked him obediently, he first picked up a piece of persimmon and stuffed it into his mouth in two bites, swallowed it in his stomach, picked up a walnut and looked around, and then put it back and changed it to a piece of dried apricots - snacks can't be used as a staple food, but when he is hungry, he can still care about this.
"Huh, what? Don't like walnuts? Lei Ming saw Tan Xiaotian pick up the walnut and put it down, he asked curiously.
"It's not." Tan Xiaotian shook his head. Take another piece of persimmon in your hand again.
"Then why don't you eat it?" Lei Ming asked again.
"No stones, no smashing, I'll talk about it later." Tan Xiaotian replied - it is obviously not a smart choice to spend time dealing with hard walnuts and hazelnuts when there is something else to eat.
"Ha, that's it, I'm here, why are you looking for a stone?" Knowing the reason why the child didn't eat the vertical fruit, Lei Ming laughed, grabbed a nuclear head, held it in his hand with a little force, and then opened it. The core in the palm of his hand has been broken into several petals, revealing the flesh inside.
"Wow, that's amazing, how did you do that?" Seeing this performance, Tan Xiaotian's eyes were almost straight. He never imagined that someone could crush walnuts with his bare hands, if he had this skill, it would be easy to eat walnuts in the future.
"Hehe, what is this. It's just basics. If you can't even do this after practicing kung fu for more than ten years, it is better to buy a piece of tofu and kill it directly. Lei Ming clapped his hands and put the broken walnut in his hand in front of Tan Xiaotian. He said very arrogantly.
"Boss, I've been practicing kung fu for more than ten years, so why can't I play with you." Lao Du also picked up a walnut and tried it, but let him grin his teeth, his face was hideous, and after his hand was opened, the walnut was still intact and unchanged, this result made Lao Du sigh and shake his head again and again.
"Cut, you can also count it as a practice, three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, and lying on the ground and pretending to be dead after thirty or fifty times with a stone lock, what's the use of a long time. I think that when I practiced martial arts with the master, every day I got up when the rooster had not yet crowed, tied sandbags on my legs, tied lead blocks on my waist, went down the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then ran back to the next mountain from the top of the mountain, and then played with stone locks, tied horse steps, and drove wooden stakes, and a practice was an hour, and if I couldn't finish it, I was not allowed to eat, and I dared to be lazy, no matter whether my head or my buttocks, Master went up with a whip, every day, every day, and it was difficult to stay up for ten years, and it was difficult to think about the basic skills if they were not solid. Lei Ming smiled and told the scene when he was young and learned art, talking about the hard work at that time, but there was endless pride in his tone, and the hardships of the past now look back and look back on the other people's capital.
"Yes, Mr. Zhao said, no matter what you learn, laying a good foundation is the key, the so-called foundation is not firm, the ground is shaking, the building is to be built high, the foundation must be laid deep, and you can't steal it if you are lazy. You practiced so hard when you were a child, so you can become a martial arts master now. Tan Xiaotian said with the same feeling-one reason, one reason, although it is one movement and one stillness, the principle in practicing martial arts and learning games is the same, one pay, one gain, opportunistic, stealing and slippery, and in the end it will fall on himself.
"Master? Hehe, he can barely be regarded as a master, but blowing the sky can only be regarded as a third-rate at best. Hearing Tan Xiaotian's praise, Lei Ming shook his head with a wry smile - if he was a real martial arts master, how could he be a mountain king in such a remote mountain?
"Where, boss, your martial arts can only be regarded as a third-rate master, so what does a first-rate look like? Are you too modest? Lao Du was surprised - when practicing martial arts, the boss can easily deal with more than ten of them alone, and the third-rate masters are all so powerful, isn't the strength of the first-class masters beyond imagination?
"Where am I being modest, let's be honest, where do you dirt buns know the power of first-class masters, I can play in this place these two times, and it is not enough to see it in the rivers and lakes and green forests. If you want to talk about a first-class master, it has to be Boss Qi of Qilian Mountain. Lei Ming's expression was very serious when he said this, which showed that he had great respect for Boss Qi, even if he mentioned it during the chat, he was respectful and respectful, and he didn't dare to be rude.
"Boss Qi? By the way, what is your relationship with Boss Qi? It's hundreds of miles from here to Qijiazhuang, how did you two meet? Remembering the topic in the warehouse before, Tan Xiaotian asked curiously-I remember that Boss Qi said that he had never been to Meilong Town. (To be continued......)
