(210) Wild land
Except for Tie Wandao, who knew it in his own heart, everyone else didn't think that he was going to choose a child with strong willpower but poor physical strength before the results came out. But he must not say this criterion until the end of the test, and if it is revealed in advance, there may be children with good physical strength who pretend to be poor in order to be selected.
Those children tried their best to show their physical superiority during the test, and no one expected that the characteristics they tried to perform were exactly what Tie Wandao did not want.
In a corner of the big empty field, the nine-year-old girl who was waiting to watch Wu Xunsheng's show with a bad smile said to the nine-year-old boy who called Wu Xunsheng "stupid donkey": "Do you remember what you said?" β
"What?"
"If he chooses, you take off one shoe and put it on your head, jump ten times on one foot with the other foot, and jump again when the shoe falls off." The nine-year-old girl reminded. After saying that, she asked the other children around her, "Did you hear him just now?" β
The children who had heard it before nodded their heads.
Under pressure from other children, the nine-year-old boy had to take off one shoe and put it on his head, and jumped on one foot with the other to spun around.
"One lap, two laps...... It's gone! β
"If you drop it, don't forget it, jump again!"
"One lap...... Oops, it's off again! β

Tie Wandao and his men took Wu Xunsheng on the way back to Tiecang Ting.
There are four gates on the periphery of the Iron Cangting, east, west, north and south, and only the east gate is usually open, and the other three doors are generally closed firmly and do not need to be guarded. The area around the South Gate is the least frequented place by the people in the Iron Warehouse Court, and many people have never been in and out of it. The place where the south gate is located is a very large field, and there are no houses near it, and it is difficult to even see a single figure in the field. The south gate and the enclosure on both sides stood in the middle of the field, dividing the field into two partsβone inside the iron barn and the other outside the court. There is a long path in the part of the field that is enclosed inside, so if you want to approach the buildings inside after entering the iron cang-ting from the south gate, you have to walk along the path for a short time. The part of the field outside the wall was vast and quiet, and if the people in the iron warehouse court wanted to go out from the south gate, they would have to walk a long, long way to get to the prosperous place.
Although the matter of choosing a sparring partner for Tie Hongyan is nothing even if other powerful people in the Tiecang Court know about it, and sooner or later it will definitely be known by others, but because Tie Wandao doesn't want to make a noise at present, he asked those subordinates to return to the Tiecang Court from the east gate, and he took Wu Xunsheng to the south gate.
When the two of them arrived at the field, the fresh air was blowing in their faces, mixed with bursts of floral fragrance, which made Wu Xunsheng feel a short period of freedom and comfort. It's spring, and the fields are full of green grass and wildflowers of various colors.
It was already early, and not only Wu Xunsheng felt extremely tired, but even Tie Wandao was already quite tired. After entering the Tiecang Court, Tie Wandao decided not to deal with things that night, but to rest directly, so he also planned to do it the next day regarding arranging a long-term residence for Wu Xunsheng. On that day, he asked Wu Xunsheng to live in an empty room temporarily, and Wu Xunsheng rested early. Before going to bed, Tie Wandao said to the spiritual position of his deceased wife Tie Jinqi: "I chose a sparring partner for Hongyan today, I hope that with this child to accompany her in martial arts, she can make faster progress, and she can make others look at her with admiration and convincing." I hope that in the future, she will be able to become the 'real young patriarch' of the Iron Cang Clan, so that others will no longer be so critical of her." β
