Listening to Yu Liyan, Li Huaishan was in a coma some time ago, and the old family put in a lot of medicinal materials in order to save him, and now the second master asked Li Huaishan to settle the medicine bills, but Li Huaishan refused to ask his family for money.

What is strange is that Li Huaishan didn't give money, and the second master was not angry, and let people serve him with good food and drink, until two days ago, Li Huaishan and the second master didn't know why they had a quarrel, he bumped into the second master a few words, and then the second master became angry, and he was going to be locked up on the spot.

And the time when the second master returned to the house was exactly the noon of the day when I and I went to the East China Sea.

Since Li Huaishan entered the gate of the West Hall, he has a grudge against me, he doesn't say a word to me, and occasionally looks at me twice, still with a very contemptuous face.

I thought he was naïve, so I didn't pay much attention to him, and even when I was eating, I was at the same table with Yu Yanan, and he went to eat somewhere else with the dishes and plates.

When he didn't wash the dishes after eating, he didn't wash the dishes, and he never returned the favor.

Yan Yanan and I were confined, our mobile phones were confiscated, and we had no way to contact the outside world, but Li Huaishan's mobile phone was not confiscated, and he would call home every night to report his safety.

It's not just me, but Yan Yanan is also puzzled about Li Huaishan being grounded with us.

What puzzled her the most was why the second master wanted to put an outsider in the West Hall, you must know that all the family classics of the family are placed in this place, and the second master himself said that for a family like the family valve, inheritance is the sky, and all family studies must be well protected, and outsiders must not be touched.

However, Li Huaishan was very disciplined, he never wandered around, and every day during the day, he soaked in the second room against the west wall, looking through the ancient scrolls collected from other sects.

One night I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and accidentally found that the second master was secretly teaching him magic, but the content of the teaching had nothing to do with the old family's homeschooling.

Although I had thought of it a long time ago, the second master must have other deep meanings when he brought Li Huaishan, but I didn't expect the second master to intentionally cultivate him.

But there are some things, I have seen and heard, but it is difficult to say, as for what the second master thinks in his heart, I am afraid only he knows.

Uncle kept saying that he would ban my feet for a year, but the discerning person should see that I was called a foot ban, which was actually a retreat. And the lockdown lasted less than a year, and I escaped from the ghost string after eight months, and the specific reasons will be explained in detail later.

Speaking of which, there is nothing particularly worth talking about in these eight months of life, but after all, it is also a relatively important experience, and some running accounts still need to be broken.

In the first month of the lockdown, I still practiced and bathed as usual, but every night, I had to read all kinds of ancient books under the urging of Yan Yanan.

First of all, the art of war, then the astrological signs, before going to bed, you have to repeatedly study the techniques and formations in the family learning.

To be honest, things like feng shui astrology have been more interesting to me since I was a child, and they don't seem to be too strenuous; And I have a bit of a foundation in terms of spells and formations, and it's quite easy to learn. I was not interested in the art of war, and the content of the ancient books was obscure, so every time I read those books, it was a huge torment for me.

Fortunately, since my authenticity was stimulated, I have become a more book-loving person, otherwise the lack of punctuation alone would have driven me crazy during the month of confinement.

In the second month of the grounding, the second master would come to the West Hall every morning, and there was nothing else to do, and he would start practicing with me as soon as he entered the courtyard.

Uncle said that if I want to learn the craftsmanship passed down from my family, I must rely on actual combat to polish it, but I never thought that the second master would be my opponent in person.

The scene of his abuse of bears in the old forest in Northeast China is still vivid.

What made me even more unexpected was that the second master did his best every time he started, he not only fought against me, but also used some spells from time to time.

Every time I practiced with him, within two or three rounds, he would be able to destroy me to the point that there was no good meat left on my body, and I didn't know how many bones were broken by him.

Seeing that I couldn't get up, he would drag me to take a medicinal bath, and when my body was healed, he would beat me again so that I didn't have the strength to fight back.

However, this kind of sparring is not completely ineffective, at least I have fought a lot with the second master, and I have made great progress in terms of reaction speed, accuracy of shots, and ability to resist blows. Also, I've learned to use my brain more when I'm fighting.

In the third month, Li Huaishan learned a set of cloud probes from the seventh master, and within a few days of learning, the second master let him fight, and also selected a good opponent for him - Yu Liyan.

Don't look at Yu Liyan being bullied every day in the old family, but that's just because his temperament is relatively soft, in terms of strength, he can also rank first in the entire family, his magic attainments are close to the third master, and his fist and foot kung fu are not bad.

Since the day when Yu Liyan and Li Huaishan practiced, there was one more difficult brother by my side.

I was beaten hard by the second master every day, and Li Huaishan was also a life of looking for teeth all over the place.

What is the meaning of Freemasonry, this is.

Because everyone is beaten every day, Li Huaishan and I actually feel a little sorry for each other.

He no longer looked at me like an enemy, and I would also talk to him after tea and dinner, so as to relax my tense nerves.

During those days, Li Huaishan and I had only fun competing with each other during meals.

"You're much better than me, just take a medicated bath and all the injuries on your body will be healed. Look at my eye sockets, I was punched by Yu Liyan for three days, and I am still swollen! ”

"How can you be as miserable as me, at least your bones are not broken, right? The bone of my left leg alone was broken three times by the second master today. ”

Etcetera.

After a period of contact, I found that Li Huaishan has a great characteristic, he is very defensive, if he does not let down his guard, no matter who he is, it will be difficult to enter his world, but once he accepts you, he will treat you as a brother and trust you incomparably.

Unlike me, although I am quite enthusiastic about him on the surface, I am still lukewarm in my heart, and I only treat him as an ordinary friend, and I never treat him as a brother.

I probably can't blame me for this, after all, I have too little time to talk to Li Huaishan, I have to read books and practice every day, and his days are similar to mine, and the schedule is full, and we can only chat a few words when we eat.

Li Huaishan is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, it is difficult for him to let go of the guard in his heart, but once he puts it down, he will let it go very thoroughly.

As for me, I am the same on the outside, all of them are lukewarm, and my guard is not too heavy, but it is almost impossible for me to let my guard down completely.

During that time, I also asked Li Huaishan, why did he stay in the family, why did the second master keep him in the family, and did he still train him carefully?

He said that he didn't want to stay, but he couldn't get out, what to say, the second master planted a spell on him, as long as he reached the mouth of the string, he would immediately be dizzy, and he couldn't even identify the direction, and he always returned to the second master's house in a daze.

As for why the second master had to keep him, he didn't know, only said that the second master had promised him that as long as he worked in the family for five years, he would let him go, he saw that the salary was not low, and he also took care of food and housing, so he stayed.

I asked him if his family wouldn't be worried if he didn't come home for so long?

Every time I asked this question, Li Huaishan would only say sullenly: "I don't want to go home." ”

I wasn't interested in asking too much about Li Huaishan's family, and since he said so, I didn't ask any more.

I remember that it should be the sixth month of the grounding, and one night, I don't know what's wrong, I especially want Xiaohui and Boss Lu, so I asked Li Huaishan to borrow a mobile phone and want to call them.

Before Li Huaishan came to Xitang, the second master specially instructed him not to lend his mobile phone to my Yan Yanan, otherwise he would be severely punished, but Li Huaishan didn't care about this, and lent me the mobile phone without saying a word.

Li Huaishan and I didn't expect that I had just picked up the mobile phone here, and before the phone could be dialed out, the second master rushed to Xitang.

He came in such a hurry that he rushed to me from the gate of the courtyard in the blink of an eye, leaving me with no time to hide.

How did the second master know that I would borrow a mobile phone from Li Huaishan that night? No one can answer me about this kind of thing, anyway, he is here, not only is he here, but Li Huaishan and I were also arrested by him.

In the past, whenever I made a mistake, the second master would wrap hundreds of pounds of iron chains around me and make me run twenty laps around the backyard of the garage.

But this time he played a new trick.

He first asked me and Li Huaishan to stand at the door of the house for half an hour, and then brought two pieces of black cloth, blindfolded me and Li Huaishan, and made us bend down and rotate two hundred times quickly.

After turning the circle, the second master asked us to stand next to the door of the house, he didn't know where to get two big metal trays, let us hold the tray with straight hands, and piled up thin glasses and porcelain bowls on the tray, the cup is below, the bowl is on the top, due to the unstable foundation, these things bump around on the tray, making a piercing "clanging" sound.

The second master asked us to carry such a pile of things from the door of the house to the gate of the courtyard, and asked that a bowl and a cup should not be broken, as long as one was broken, we would start again.

Walking blindfolded, it is a very scary thing, when you walk, you will feel that every step is likely to be empty, and every little advance is likely to hit a face of blood. Add to that the tinkling of the cups and bowls on the tray, and with the slightest movement, I thought they would immediately collapse and fall all on me.

The first time I walked forward with a tray, I had just taken two steps in fear when a bowl fell to the ground and shattered, and I had to start all over again. Li Huaishan is not as good as me, he stood in place for more than half an hour, and he didn't dare to take the first step, but the cups and bowls on the tray were not stable, even if he didn't move, there were still two bowls on the ground.

When I returned to the door of the house for the third time, Li Huaishan took the first step, but I don't know if he was too nervous or what's going on, as soon as the soles of his feet landed, the tray in his hand was crooked, fortunately I took off the blindfold at that time, otherwise I would definitely be smashed by those scattered cups and bowls.

Just tossed back and forth for a night, Li Huaishan and I failed to reach the gate of the courtyard, during this period, the second master didn't say a word, just looked at us quietly.

It wasn't until the sky was bright that the second master let us go, and what else did he say, last night he created a new family law for the old family, and named it "Walking the Dark Bell".

Since the day of the fight, the second master and the uncle have especially liked to torture the juniors in this way, and after me and Li Huaishan, the third person to learn this family method is Yu Liyan.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the second master's use of the new family method to tease Yu Liyan, I wouldn't have secretly left Xitang in the eighth month of the grounding, let alone found the ancient coin in the old village on the southwest border.
