Chapter 1004: Chopping Firewood

"Xiaoxi, tell me if they often bully you?" Thinking about the difficult situation of the grandfather and grandson, Lin Xuanzhong directly said the doubts in his heart.

"They are my classmates, and they always let me be their sparring partners, and every time they can't beat me, they will beat me together," the tension in Konishi's eyes had not dissipated, and he turned around to meet Lin Xuanzhong's gentle eyes, and Konishi naturally told Lin Xuanzhong what he had never said to his grandfather, just like there was an irresistible force in Lin Xuanzhong's eyes.

"Then you rest for a while, wait a while, I'll teach you how to beat a few of them by yourself," it is not difficult to imagine that Xiaoxi was bullied, thinking that Lin Xuanzhong had a decision.

"Okay," Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong wanted to teach himself powerful martial arts, Xiao Xi agreed without thinking about it. In this way, until an hour later, both of them had recovered their physical strength to a certain extent. When Lin Xuanzhong said that he could start, Xiaoxi found two wooden swords as if he was looking for a treasure, one large and one small, and then handed the big one to Lin Xuanzhong, and then the two practiced at the door.

That wooden sword has no edge, it can't hurt people at all without a certain amount of strength, and it is very light to hold in his hand, play with it left and right, Lin Xuanzhong feels that this wooden sword is quite creative.

After letting Xiaoxi attack him with all his might, Lin Xuanzhong pointed out while fighting.

"Hurry up!"

"Slow down!"

"Taller!"

......

While fighting and shouting, he practiced until Xiaoxi was sweating profusely, and Lin Xuanzhong stopped.

Compared with a person with mature swordsmanship, Konishi's swordsmanship is full of flaws, and what Lin Xuanzhong has to do is to correct Konishi's various mistakes when using the sword, and then teach Konishi simple footwork. Xiaoxi's age is not very old, so he is suitable for learning body techniques, but because of the limited time, Lin Xuanzhong taught him improved footwork.

However, although it is a footwork improved by the Eight Desolation Steps, after all, it is evolved from the Eight Desolation Steps, and it still has a bit of the charm of the Eight Desolation Steps, and if it is practiced well, it is naturally very abnormal. For Konishi, after becoming proficient, it will not be a problem to beat several people in the future.

Except for a few breaks in between, both of them practiced one afternoon. By the time the two of them stopped, Huang Lao had already returned from outside.

"My lord, you're awake," Huang Lao still didn't call Lin Xuanzhong's name, and there was still a bit of respect in his tone.

"I woke up this morning," Seeing that Huang Lao was still in that spirit, Lin Xuanzhong replied with a smile.

"The old man hurry up and cook, my lord waits. ”

Huang Lao was holding several unknown green vegetables in his hands, and at first glance, it was the same as what Lin Xuanzhong had eaten at Hu Lao's place before.

"Okay," an afternoon passed, and Lin Xuanzhong was already hungry.

After Huang Lao entered the house, Xiaoxi said to Lin Xuanzhong that he wanted to help, and then followed.

Xiaoxi's endurance is not bad, he is tired and has the strength to help cook in the afternoon, looking at the thin figure, Lin Xuanzhong's heart is full of admiration. After both the grandfather and grandson went in, Lin Xuanzhong slowly practiced his physical skills at the door. The injury has improved a lot today, and if it wasn't for the hot weather, it might have been better if it had been stopped for a while.

In addition, Xiaoxi's door is very clean, except for that group of naughty children, no one else has come today. If you can continue like this and recuperate with peace of mind for a few days, even if there is no pill, the injury can still recover. Thinking that Lin Xuanzhong directly put the idea of leaving behind, he thought about staying for a few more days.

Time passed little by little, and after finishing a set of physical examinations, Lin Xuanzhong walked in front of the house. There was no movement throughout the day, but at this time I could hear the voices of some people coming and going, and the people who had gone out hunting had returned.

The voices were jumbled and mixed with some cries, sounding disturbing.

When I left the two rooms, I saw a field of uneven crops, and the weeds in them grew taller than the grain planted. Counting up, it's almost the autumn harvest season.

Farther on, a river glowing with golden light came into view, and the long river channel could not be seen at a glance. The habit of living by the water can be used everywhere, it is a quiet town, everything is so quiet and real.

After walking around, some vague memories in the depths of Lin Xuanzhong's mind were evoked, spring went to autumn, and the past was like a passing cloud, leaving some more and more blurred light and shadow, which made people feel melancholy, and other than that, there was no benefit.

Standing on a high ground and quietly watching the river slowly darken, it was a long time to stand.

"Brother Lin," I don't know how long it took, but there was an ethereal shout in the distance, and Lin Xuanzhong was able to come back to his senses and turn around and walk towards the two huts.

On the way back, Lin Xuanzhong kept thinking about what he wanted to live such a quiet life with Qinglan at the beginning, if Lin Wuwu's master hadn't come, what would be the situation now.

After thinking about it, the final result was still not satisfactory, because Lin Xuanzhong knew very well that even if the Lin family was not besieged by the other three, it might not be able to do so in the end. Born in such a war-torn era, a weak person is destined to face all kinds of dangers, and it is almost impossible to survive in peace, especially in such a borderless city. After thinking about it, even if the current life is still not what I want, I can only continue to move forward.

"Brother Lin, you're back, grandpa has already cooked the meal!" greeted Lin Xuanzhong, who had a melancholy face, and Xiaoxi greeted him warmly.

"Well," came back to his senses, smiled and nodded to Konishi, in Konishi's immature face, Lin Xuanzhong saw too much anger, the kind of thing that can make people feel uplifted, but after glancing at Konishi's face, there was only confusion in his heart.

"Brother Lin, let's go fetch water and come back first, otherwise it will be dark in a while," as if suddenly thinking of something important, as soon as he turned around, Xiaoxi returned to the house.

didn't let Lin Xuanzhong wait long, and in a blink of an eye, Xiaoxi came out with a wooden bucket, and then walked straight to the well with Lin Xuanzhong.

After practicing for a day, Xiaoxi's strength was only enough to carry an empty bucket, and he relied on Lin Xuanzhong on the way back. Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong was carrying the water as if he hadn't taken anything, Xiaoxi's heart was full of envy.

Two times in a row, the two filled a jar of water, and at the same time, Huang Lao put everything he ate on the table, and then the three of them had dinner. Like the night before, Lin Xuanzhong and Huang Lao chatted while eating, and talked about some things, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After dinner, after Xiaoxi helped wash up, Lin Xuanzhong went to bed to heal his injuries. In order for his injuries to heal as soon as possible, Lin Xuanzhong didn't plan to sleep tonight.

After explaining to Xiaoxi what he was doing and letting Xiaoxi rest early, Lin Xuanzhong began to work hard all night. Slowly run the vitality in the body, so that the yuan force constantly collides with the meridians around the body, over and over again, until the situation in the body begins to improve. In this way, the night passed, and the next morning, the sound of chopping wood outside woke Lin Xuanzhong.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was bright, and it was not early. Looking again, Konishi was no longer in bed, and there was no one in the room. After slowly stopping the exercise, Lin Xuanzhong got up and went to the door to see that Huang Lao was chopping dry firewood shirtless, again and again, not fast, but it didn't look effortless.

"My lord, you're awake!" When Lin Xuanzhong walked to the side and wanted to help, Huang Lao on the side noticed Lin Xuanzhong's arrival and immediately greeted him.

"Huang Lao, you rest for a while, I'll help you chop wood!"

"Thank you for your kindness, but the old decay has just begun, you don't need the help of adults, let's go eat first, breakfast is on the table." ”

"Isn't Xiaoxi at home?" Huang Lao's tone was firm, helpless, Lin Xuanzhong had to change the topic.

"Konishi went to his teacher's class. ”

"Alright, I'll go eat first. Seeing a large pile of dry firewood next to Huang Lao that had not yet been chopped, Lin Xuanzhong was ready to wait a while and come back to help.

After returning to the house and eating all the things on the table, remembering the conversation with Huang Lao last night, Lin Xuanzhong knew that Huang Lao didn't have to do groceries today, but he had to go to deliver firewood to some people's homes. In order to make Huang Lao more relaxed, Lin Xuanzhong walked towards Huang Lao again.

"Huang Lao, let me come, you go and do something else. ”

"Okay, sir, be careful, don't hurt yourself, old man go and clean up your things," this time, Huang Lao didn't be polite to Lin Xuanzhong, and handed the axe to Lin Xuanzhong casually.

Taking the axe, Lin Xuanzhong learned from Huang Lao to erect a short log first, then raised the axe and split it in half, and split it three times with a piece of wood.

After a while, seeing that there were still so many unchopped wood on the ground, Lin Xuanzhong felt that it was too slow to chop one wood at a time, if he used his sword qi to chop a lot of dry wood at once, but after thinking about it for a while, Lin Xuanzhong didn't do that, it seemed that it was better to chop again and again.

"My lord, let me come," After packing up his things, seeing that Lin Xuanzhong was busy outside, Huang Laoshi couldn't guess what Lin Xuanzhong's mood was at the moment, out of some worry, Huang Lao walked straight to Lin Xuanzhong's side.

"It's okay, you go and get busy, leave all these woods to me," Chopping wood is meaningless physical work for Lin Xuanzhong, Lin Xuanzhong has thought that chopping like this may delay his own practice time, but in order to repay Huang Lao's kindness, Lin Xuanzhong still decided to do a favor.

"Okay, the old man will be busy," probably because of Lin Xuanzhong's calm temperament, the undoubted tone made Huang Lao unable to think about it, and after a simple response, Huang Lao went to work again. Carry the dry firewood from the house to the cart at the door, and then push the cart out directly.

Not long after Huang Lao left, Lin Xuanzhong still couldn't help but speed up, and after using the sword, he split a large pile of dry firewood in less than a quarter of an hour. After chopping the wood, Lin Xuanzhong put the sword back in its original position, and then found a place at the door to practice while waiting for Huang Lao to come back.
