Chapter 5 The Green Years

The Great Jin Dynasty was still martial, or rather, it had been particularly martial in the last twenty or thirty years.

Although just thirty years ago, the warriors of the world had been suppressed by the imperial court, but since the rebellion of King Ning thirty years ago, the situation in the world has gradually collapsed to a state where the imperial court cannot govern at all, and it is unable to take care of it.

In addition to the decrees of the Great Jin Dynasty in the royal city and the three northern states where the imperial power is most concentrated, the remaining sixteen states in the world have already been occupied and ruled by various forces at this time, although the Great Jin Dynasty is still a unified political system in name, in fact, it has long existed in name only, and it is only the most powerful party among the many warlords in the world.

Affected by this environment, all states in the world have been revolting in the past 30 years, and overseas Western countries have also set their greedy eyes on this ancient land of the East that is rich and fat to the extreme.

Such a chaotic situation in the world forced all forces to start reckless force, and the world has suddenly entered an era of weakness and victory.

In this era when martial arts were very popular, in order to obtain a good future and future, although the number of people who practiced martial arts in the states of the world did not decrease significantly, and still maintained the number of scholars in the world eighty or ninety percent before, the number of martial arts practitioners began to increase year by year, and the number was already several times or even ten times that of thirty years ago.

Even in the small Qingning County where Lu Xiu is located, with a total population of no more than fifty or sixty thousand people, there are as many as seven or eight martial arts halls that teach martial arts, and the remaining six or seven are gradually added in the past thirty years, except for the Changchun Martial Arts Hall, and there is not much background to speak of.

Of course, there is not much background here, but compared to the history of the Changchun Martial Arts Hall for nearly a hundred years, at least they still have the ability and financial resources to open the door in the county to teach and recruit disciples.

In short, in these chaotic years, there are still only twenty or thirty people in the world who can learn and write, and the number of people who practice martial arts has changed from one in hundreds to one in the past to the number of people who are close to learning in the world.

According to approximate statistics, there are 11,700 households in Qingning County and the surrounding countryside, with a population of nearly 60,000, and more than 2,000 people who can learn and write can read and write, and as many as 15,600 people who practice martial arts.

It is precisely because there are so many people who are interested in practicing martial arts, so even if the tuition fees of the major martial arts halls in the city are not expensive and the true transmission is not taught easily, there are still countless people who sign up for apprenticeships, and there are more than 50 disciples in the Changchun martial arts hall alone, most of whom are registered miscellaneous disciples.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, seeing that the year is about to end, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, Qingning County is full of lively attitudes, the streets are full of people, traffic, all kinds of snacks are dazzling, and the martial arts halls in the city are almost all closed at this time.

In the Changchun Martial Arts Hall, in the martial arts training ground paved with terrazzo bricks, the shouts were still endless at this time.

Even in the wax moon season when the weather is so cold, many apprentices in the martial arts training ground of the Changchun Martial Arts Hall are still bare and red upper bodies, struggling to practice their fists and feet hard in this drizzling martial arts training ground.

In the midst of such a desperate practice and leaving no effort to spare, Lu Xiu stood in the front row of these disciples, contrary to his usual laziness, whistling in the cold rain falling from the sky, punching and kicking wildly, hitting the surrounding blurred raindrops flying horizontally, and it was difficult to splash too much on his head and chest for a while.

"Whew!"

After a while, Lu Xiu took the lead in retracting his fists and calming down, and a hot body of hot air evaporated directly from the red muscles of his upper body, and disappeared into the rain and mist.

"Very good, Xiao Wu, you have been making rapid progress recently, and it is time to pass on your boxing skills, and when the New Year is over, you will go with me to Bailuo County next door, and I will meet the rest of the disciples of the martial arts hall instead."

Seeing the red muscles on Lu Xiu's body and the steaming heat that was constantly emanating from his body, Li Changchun, the owner of the martial arts hall who rarely took the lead in practicing boxing today, first twisted his neck vigorously, and then laughed and patted the knotted muscles on Lu Xiu's forearm, and said happily.

"Master Xie, I can't wait for our martial arts hall Changchun Boxing's fist heart decision."

Lu Xiu had a bright smile on his face, scratched his head a little innocently, and behaved quite happily and expectantly, which made Li Changchun, who had regarded him as a son-in-law since he was a child, even happier and more satisfied.

"Humph!"

Looking at the bright smile on Lu Xiu's face, Li Yinsu, who was practicing martial arts beside him, snorted a little unpleasantly, and then glared at Lu Xiu hatefully.

"Little junior sister, what's wrong with you, is it uncomfortable to cough in your throat, Brother Lu Xiu and the others will feed you medicine."

Lu Xiu looked at Li Yinsu, who was constantly practicing boxing and sweating in the rain curtain on the martial arts training ground with a bright smile on his face, and said provocatively with a wicked taste.

As soon as Lu Xiu said this, Li Yinsu's wheat-colored face suddenly flushed with a layer of crimson with anger, and a pair of big almond eyes stared at Lu Xiu in a daze, her eyes were full of anger, but her work on her hands and feet still didn't stop, and she looked indescribably funny.

"Poof! Haha, I'm laughing to death. ”

"Little junior sister, do you know what you look like now? Big Horse Monkey! Hahahaha! ”

Lu Xiu laughed at Li Yinsu who was practicing martial arts without any scruples, and she was so angry that she couldn't do it on the spot, Li Yinsu was angry and stopped practicing martial arts directly, and flew up at Lu Xiu and kicked him in the head.

"This kid, why can't he coax a girl at all, it's too straight!"

"Hey, when will the two of them get married if they continue like this, create evil!"

Li Changchun stood aside and watched Lu Xiu's performance, and couldn't help but sigh again and again.

"I think I was also a handsome little student back then, and many big girls in the leading family chased after me and gave me things, but I didn't understand the amorous feelings at the time like this stupid boy, so that I later found this hot woman."

"This kid is like me, but it's a pity that he is too much like me, and the wife who sends it to the door can fly."

"No, no, I have to help when I have time, and I have to go home and talk to my family, let her do the work of being a daughter, and a good marriage can't be broken up like this."

Li Changchun stroked his beard and looked at Lu Xiu and his daughter's constant chasing and fighting, and involuntarily thought of the glorious years when he was young, and couldn't help but want to help his humble apprentice.

"It's so confusing!"

Thinking of this, Li Changchun couldn't help but shake his head and sigh again.
