"......" looked at Xiao Lingran absentmindedly on the side, Dan Qingzi cleared his throat, raised his voice and said:

"From tomorrow, no, just today. Lengthen it for an hour and dedicate it to the pose. ”

"Huh?" The sword in Xiao Lingran's hand suddenly fell to the ground,

"How do you practice this!"

"Why don't you start now?" Dan Qingzi said expressionlessly, and without waiting for Xiao Lingran to protest, he spoke first.

"Take the sword in your right hand and hold it flat."

Xiao Lingran picked up the wooden sword that had fallen to the ground and held it obediently. Dan Qingzi gave her "one-on-one counseling" on the side, and when she saw that her hands were not straight, she patted her and asked her to straighten up; After a moment, she felt that her wrist was too soft, and asked her to hold her sword tightly. Her hand was held up for half an hour, and she was tired and her whole right hand was unconscious, so Dan Qingzi asked her to take a nap. It didn't take long for Dan Qingzi to let her continue, and made it more difficult, making her squat while holding her sword, saying what makes her waist stronger and her legs straighter. Another hour was over, and Xiao Lingran was completely liberated. The moment he relaxed, his whole arm hung down uncontrollably, and there was a burst of soreness.

"Shhh

"After only practicing for a while, you can't stand it, and you still talk about learning swords." Someone started the poisonous tongue mode of the past again, but this time it had a bit of an encouraging effect, Xiao Lingran looked at him with wide eyes, with a slight hint of anger, so he got up and continued to practice the pose.

It wasn't until the evening that Xiao Lingran refused to rest. When I had dinner, I couldn't lift my whole hand, and I was trembling with my rice bowl. Chang Qing had been reading in the room, and he didn't know what was going on, and he was very distressed when he saw Xiao Lingran so reluctantly:

"Xing'er, what's wrong with your hand, do you want my brother to feed you?" Chang Qing said.

"It's okay, it's too embarrassing to have someone to feed you when you eat. I've just been practicing for a long time, and I'm just a little tired, so it's good to take a break. Xiao Lingran trembled and waved his hand, grinning a big smile, and Chang Qing didn't say anything more.

Dan Qingzi looked very heartless, eating calmly and calmly, as if "I didn't do it, it has nothing to do with me", Xiao Lingran was also angry, but he didn't say anything, just looked down and paddled his own food, and soon went back to the house to rest.

At night, Xiao Lingran brought a basin of hot water, took a towel and moistened it on his arm, and a warm current surged all over his body. At this time, I only heard a knock on the door, so I put down my sleeves and walked over, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was Banxia.

"Brother Banxia, it's so late, do you have something to do with me?" Xiao Lingran asked.

Banxia smiled, opened his hand, and saw a small white bottle, Xiao Lingran took the bottle, opened the stopper and smelled it, and a fragrance of orchids came to his nose. So he smiled and asked, "What is this?" ”

Banxia replied: "This is a good thing, you take it and apply it to your arm, rub it, and it won't hurt the next day." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Lingran thanked happily: "Thank you, but you have to tell me where you got this good thing?" ”

Banxia thought for a while, and replied hesitantly: "This, this is ...... I usually hunt, and I am prone to injury, so I bought it all the way down the mountain, and I can give the pharmacy keeper a lot of money. ”

"Well, thank you so much." Xiao Lingran waved the medicine bottle and said.

"It's okay, anyway...... It's not early, I'll go first, remember to use the medicine. Banxia scratched her head and quietly closed the door.

Xiao Lingran opened the medicine bottle, took out some transparent ointment from it, wiped it on his arm, and rubbed it gently for a while, only to feel that his arm was cold, his muscles were also relaxed a lot, and the previous soreness gradually eased, and there was no strange smell of herbs, leaving only the faint fragrance of orchids, Xiao Lingran liked this taste very much, and happily put away the bottle of ointment.

When I woke up the next day, my arm magically recovered, just like on weekdays, but Xiao Lingran was so happy that he even yelled there for a long time when he was having breakfast, and he specially said to Yao Lao,

"This medicine is really easy to use, I wiped a little bit yesterday, and my arm is fine today. Master, what are you made of here? Xiao Lingran looked at Yao Lao and smiled.

Yao Lao doesn't know, but it's worth being happy that this ghost girl actually opened her mouth to call her master, and it's all Yao Lao and the old man's shouting on weekdays, which one is singing today?

"This ......" Yao Lao looked completely unaware.

Banxia hurriedly came to the rescue, took a large piece of meat and stuffed it into Xiao Lingran's mouth, and said with a forced smile while stuffing it:

"Oh, Xing'er has worked hard lately, come on, eat more meat to make up!"

"Well, no, let me ...... Hemp made? Xiao Ling's mouth was full of meat, stuffed with old sayings of medicine, and he didn't understand what she was saying after muttering for a long time, just after eating what he was talking about, Banxia stuffed it again, Yao Lao was only busy laughing, and he didn't care about what she said. In the end, Xiao Ling's cheeks were tired of chewing, and he didn't want to say anything, so Banxia breathed a sigh of relief and stopped feeding her.

During the morning training, Dan Qingzi seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and even took the initiative to reduce the "burden" on Xiao Lingran, something like "You have almost practiced your words, from today onwards, you don't need to practice words at night." Or something, "I think your physical strength can keep up, and in a few days you will specialize in sword training." This kind of words make Xiao Lingran happy.

It's nothing to practice words, after all, Xiao Lingran is now "done", and a good hand of words is enough to compare with the daughter of a big family who has learned since childhood. The happiest thing is that I don't have to run around the mountain, and I don't have to squat every day.

Then the question arises again, if you don't practice calligraphy at night, what are you going to do? Dan Qingzi didn't tell her as if he was selling Guanzi. Until after dinner......

"Xiao Lingran." Dan Qingzi stopped Xiao Lingran, who was about to go back to the room.

"Huh? What did the gentleman call me? Xiao Lingran turned around and asked.

"Wash it up and come to my room." Dan Qingzi left a vague sentence and left.

Xiao Lingran nodded solemnly, and as soon as Dan Qingzi left, someone's face turned red with a "brush".

"What did he mean ......?" Someone thought in his heart, but looking at his cold face and fluttering voice, it didn't look like ......

Xiao Lingran kept thinking about this sentence in his head, and after washing up, he walked tremblingly to Dan Qingzi's house and knocked on the door.

"Come in." There was a voice from inside, and Xiao Lingran's heart was shocked again.

Gently pushing the door open, I saw—

Dan Qingzi sat at a small square table, there was a chessboard on the table, on one side of the chessboard was drinking tea, and on the other side was eating pastries, Xiao Lingran suddenly felt that he was thinking too much.

"Why are you standing stupidly, don't come in yet." Dan Qingzi looked at Xiao Lingran, who was standing at the door in a daze, and said.

Xiao Lingran answered, and then sat down face to face with Dan Qingzi.

"Reading can make people cultivate their temperament, and playing chess can calm people's hearts......" Dan Qingzi looked at the chessboard in front of him and said, Xiao Lingran also looked at the chessboard, not knowing what to say.

"Your temperament is too eager, and it is easy to make mistakes if you are eager, I called you here today to let you learn some chess skills, so that you can change your temperament and be calm and calm in case of trouble." Dan Qingzi handed the black chess pieces to Xiao Lingran, and he was the white chess pieces.

So in the next time, Dan Qingzi was teaching Xiao Lingran how to play chess, how to think about the layout of the chess pieces, and how to know the opponent's playing ideas, as he said, "Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can you win all battles." ”

Dan Qingzi loves to be clean, there is no superfluous clutter on the ground, and the tables and chairs are as good as new, without a trace of dust. Originally, this house was not used much on weekdays, and it was tattered, but after Dan Qingzi came, Yao Lao instructed his brother to clean it, but he didn't expect that after Dan Qingzi's reorganization, it became a little "tall". As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a faint fragrance, and I saw that it was a small stove on the ground next to the bed, burning unknown incense, the fragrance could not tell what it was made of, it was not rich or strong, it did not feel greasy at all, it was said that it was light and not light, the fragrance filled the entire nasal cavity, just like eating sugar, the whole person was physically and mentally happy, and the corners of the clothes were inadvertently contaminated with the fragrance, and it would not disperse for a long time.

"Huh~Huh......" Someone fell asleep in the "comfortable" scent.

"......" Dan Qingzi seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and turned around and brought a plate of snacks.

"Huh?" A pig's nose sniffed "sighing", and her mouth made a little sound from time to time, until Dan Qingzi brought the plate of dim sum to her, and she was completely awake.

"Hey, why did I fall asleep?" Xiao Lingran looked at Dan Qingzi with an unaware innocent face, and for his knowingly questioned, Dan Qingzi chose to ignore it automatically and said:

"I've been teaching you for so long, it's time to test if you have mastered the knowledge." After speaking, Dan Qingzi motioned for Xiao Lingran to play a few games with him.

Xiao Lingran was 10,000 unwilling in her heart, when this Dan Qingzi taught herself to play chess, she saw that this person was a big guy, so she refused:

"No, no, no, you're an expert in chess, how can a person like me with two brushes compare to you?" As soon as these words of praise came out, Dan Qingzi was obviously in a much better mood, but he was still not carried away by the sugar-coated cannonball, picked up a piece of snack and said,

"There are rewards for the game, if you win a game, I'll give you a snack, how about it?" Dan Qingzi put the dim sum in front of Xiao Lingran's eyes, looked at the fragrant and crystal clear glutinous rice dumplings in his hand, and swallowed his uncontentious saliva.

"Deal!" Xiao Lingran didn't know where he got the confidence, so he agreed.
