Chapter 9: The Mermaid and Tomil
In the next few days, in addition to training soldiers to actively prepare for war, Tang Ruiyi spent most of his time practicing Siyuan Jin, the reason is very simple, he has not been exposed to this oriental element when playing games before, and it is enough to train the little boy's Siyuan Jin, that's all.
The sound of a fierce blow came from afar, and the patrolling militia did not lift their heads, so that they were accustomed to it, knowing that it was the king training the poor boy again.
In the empty infantry training ground, a thin boy with a wooden sword in his hand was struggling to support himself in the storm, he looked no different from ordinary children, but there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
His opponent was a young man in a practice uniform, he was bare-handed, the sweat of soybeans was flowing down the granite-like muscles, and the whole person standing there naturally gave people an indestructible temperament, like a mountain.
The man's fist is vigorous, and the little boy can only be tired of parrying, and it can be seen that although the situation is precarious, he can always dodge the deadly attack with his inexplicable intuition.
The fist vibrated in the air, and the little boy seized an opportunity to thrust hard.
The wooden sword poked at the back of his hand and made a sound of gold and iron.
Tang Ruiyi shook his hand casually, and the mysterious movement of water flicked the wooden sword back, causing the little boy to retreat again and again.
"The hand holding the sword is unsteady, how did I teach you?
"Yes...... Damn!" Tomele looked at Tang Ruiyi's unchanged face, got up on the ground unwillingly, picked up the fallen wooden sword, and put on a posture to face Tang Ruiyi.
"Huh?" Tang Ruiyi, who saw this scene, was a little emotional, he didn't expect Tomil to be so resilient, and the amount of training that many adults couldn't hold on to not only did not wear down his will, but made him more and more courageous in adversity.
Under the huge pressure, he has made rapid progress, from being simply beaten at the beginning, to now being able to live a few tricks, maybe even he will have to take it seriously in a few days.
Tang Ruiyi continued to pose in a martial arts posture, because he did not use swordsmanship skills, so he also chose a more mature starting posture in Mongolian wrestling, half-squatting and leaning forward.
He didn't say anything, and he rushed forward to make a move.
His speed is not fast, but he is like a mad bull, and his courage is terrifying.
To use some professional terms - it looks flawless from the front, obviously a mediocre charge, but he feels that the gaps in all directions are within his attack range.
The little boy's legs were weak, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but somehow a passage suddenly appeared in his mindββββββββ "People can hide, but faith can't!"
His father strictly forbade Tomel to learn martial arts, because his three elder brothers were all killed on the battlefield against the enemy, which may be the last bit of benevolence in the royal family, but the active nature of Tomel quietly learned a piece of swordsmanship with a famous court swordsman, the court swordsman once said: "People can hide, faith can't!", in the War of the Black Roses, he fought seven necromantic knights alone with the strength of one person, and finally died of exhaustion, his understanding of swordsmanship touched Tomel deeply.
So at this moment, the boy's fear was swept away, "Come on! I will be able to bear it!" He felt that something was burning in his body!
Swords and fists intertwined, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.
The little boy flew upside down in an exaggerated gesture and slammed into the wall, shaking the ground twice.
............
In the infirmary on the side of the training ground, the little boy sat on the ground with teary eyes, Tang Ruiyi was giving him medicine on his bones, and he scolded and said, "You are stupid! Why don't you dodge! What about the swordsmanship I taught you? I forgot it all in the blink of an eye!" The boy's face turned red and he didn't dare to speak.
He endured the bitterness and drank a spoonful of the healing medicine concocted by Savaka, and suddenly the fishy smell and greasy bitterness filled his taste buds, making him can't help but want to vomit, but Tang Ruiyi glared at him fiercely:
"Give me all the drink!"
Tomil was immediately unconvinced, and he squashed his tongue: "Don't!"
"Isn't it just a small injury? I don't need to drink any medicine!"
Tang Ruiyi looked at him expressionlessly, until the boy was furious at the bottom of his heart, and then he began to defend himself with a little weakness: "I'm really fine, I don't need to drink medicine." β
"Really?" Tang Ruiyi sneered, and slapped the little boy's injured calf bone coldly.
"Ahh
Half a day later, Tomil lay weakly on the straw mat, foaming at the mouth and convulsing from time to time.
"Your leg bones have been completely shattered by me, and if you don't treat it with medication, you may form a deformity in the future. β
Tomil was full of resentment in his heart, but when he heard this, he was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, and then he lay there quietly looking at the ceiling, but the tears flowed down his cheeks and fell into the collar, and he kept reaching out to wipe them but could not stop.
He didn't know how many years he hadn't shed a tear, a boy like Tomel, who was born into a royal family, his every move was subject to the strictest control, and his etiquette teacher had told him that tears were a shameful act of a coward when he was a child, and how many years had passed, and he thought he would never shed any more tears in his life.
Sometimes, a faint word of concern can shatter the boy's long-sealed heart. The boy is actually very empty in the depths of his heart, he also longs for warmth and love, he also wants to play freely with his peers, but under the rule of the divine kingship, no one feels close to him, the respectful and respectful of his peers, the gossip behind his back, and even the care of some elders is just a routine, and the only father and mother who love him have died in the hands of the necromancer, so Tang Ruiyi's words hit him straight into the depths of his heart.
The boy buried his head in Tang Ruiyi's arms and wept silently, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances, pressures, tribulations, and hardships he had endured over the years!
............
The next morning, the first rays of sunlight shone gently through the thin mist on everything, and Tomil got up before dawn, came to the training ground, and began to practice swinging his sword.
Unlike in the past, although he practiced his sword very seriously before, it was just a perfunctory repetitive action, but after experiencing yesterday's defeat, he was determined to work hard.
It is not for nothing that a person can become a strong person, a kind of stubborn belief!
Tomil held the wooden sword in his hand and began to swing it rhythmically.
Every time he swung today, it was very slow, and his usual practice was completely different, he was imitating, imitating the appearance of Tang Ruiyi's punches.
Fist and sword are two completely different ways of exerting force, but one thing is in common, that is, fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Hit the most accurate target at the fastest speed, the so-called swing of the sword, it is so simple, according to Tang Ruiyi said, punch to leave three points, but the sword must hold the same end of feelings, every time you will focus your spirit on swinging the sword, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.
The essence of swordsmanship lies in this, but there are too few people who can really put life and death aside when fighting, such a person is either a lone star who has no concern, or a great master who has seen through the red dust.
The mist gradually cleared, and time passed slowly, and for a full hour, Tomel had not even reached the number of five hundred swings of his sword, and by this moment he was already sweating like rain, his muscles were shaking, and his arms were as heavy as lead.
There has always been a voice in his heart telling him that he doesn't have to work so hard, he can be happy just by doing it!
However, as soon as he remembered the tragic death of his father and the evil laughter, Tomil regained his spirits, endured the pain, and continued to swing his sword.
Hold on, you can do it a little longer!!
Four hundred and twenty-eight ...... I'm so tired, my hand is going to break.
Four hundred and forty-five ...... I really can't hold on anymore.
Four hundred and seventy-six ...... Consciousness is blurred!
Four hundred and ninety-two...... Hold on!
Five hundred!!boom!
After a full five hundred strokes, Tomil felt something crack in his mind, and a torrent of strange power from his veins poured into his limbs, surging through his meridians, strengthening every muscle fiber.
But the little boy himself was unconscious, he was lying on the wheat field, and his tired fingers did not want to move.
At this moment, a murmur came from afar, like ripples in the water.
Tomel stood up and looked into the distance in confusion, was it an auditory hallucination?
Skirting the lush wheat fields, the little boy followed the source of the sound and looked at it, what was it?!The little boy's eyes widened, "Who will save me?" β
"Who's where!" he raised his sword in front of him, a wary look.
The voice seemed to be frightened, and it stopped abruptly for a moment.
The boy carefully lifted his injured right leg and stepped through the deep and shallow ditch.
He was amazed to spot a strange creature locked in an iron cage.
The face of this female creature is incredibly beautiful, but it exudes contempt, mockery, and brutality.
Seriously, Tomil had never seen such a strange charm, neither the singers of the palace nor the carefully selected beauties.
The more he looked at it, the more angry he felt at such a transcendent beauty, who would lock her up!
"Hey, who's keeping you here? You look like you need help. β
"Wait, you seem to ...... Not human!"
"Get out of here, get bothered with me, stinking human!" a vicious cunning in her tone startled Tomil.
But after all, Tomel was a prince, and he tried to puff up his chest, and said in the most polite and noble way:
"I, I, you, are ....... β
Although Tomil wanted to pretend to be a little more atmospheric, he was usually sharp and sharp and struck at a critical moment.
Poof, Goliaki couldn't help but chuckle, this human being was so funny, but her blue eyes became dull when she thought of her miserable end.
The little boy was overwhelmed by this, and he scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, and suddenly had an idea: "You wait for me!" and ran into the wheat field with a puff of smoke.
Goliaki looked up at the endless wheat field with hope, and after a while the little boy ran back panting, and his clothes were still covered with fresh dirt, and it seemed that he had run too quickly and fell, and he approached the cage with his head down and no defense, and did not see the cold light in the mermaid's eyes.
"Just kill him and use this human blood to condense the water blade, and I will be able to escape and ascend to heaven. β
Before she knew it, Golia's nails had become blue and sharp, and her fangs were protruding slightly.
It's close! It's close!
Suddenly, Tomil raised his head and smiled with a pear vortex embedded in it, and he said, "You must be hungry, I have brought you a lot to eat." β
"Don't tell me about it, I took it from the kitchen secretly. β
His arms were full of small mountains of white bread, and he almost fell off a piece of it in a casual moment.
Goliahia's movements froze there for a moment, and she smiled reluctantly and said thank you.
............
The cold spring sun pierced through the clouds, and the two of them lazily leaned back to back on the iron railing.
"I didn't expect human food to be so delicious. Goliaki touched her round belly and let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
The previous wandering merchant almost starved to death because of the language barrier and the misleading folk rumors, who kept feeding her stinky mussel shells and aquatic plants.
"Yes, the white bread at the teacher's house is more delicious than anything I've ever eaten. β
"Teacher, you still have a teacher?"
"My teacher was a master of boxing. Tomele said proudly that he never knew that Tang Ruiyi was actually more powerful in swordsmanship.
"The sea giants at the bottom of our sea can shatter the reef with one punch, I don't know which one is better than your master. Goliaki blinked and said playfully.
"Needless to say, of course my master is amazing! You don't know, his fist is as ...... as a sandbag" The little boy danced with his hands and feet, blowing Tang Ruiyi into the sky, which was simply omnipotent from heaven to earth, making Goliaji giggle and laugh non-stop.
The two of them just talked and laughed.
"By the way, why do you understand me?"
"I don't know, I seem to have been born with an innate understanding of alien language. The little boy shook his head in annoyance, "A lot of people still call me a freak. β
"They're jealous of you, and being able to speak a language is not a talent that ordinary people can have. β
Suddenly, the two looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled, "My name is Goliahime, and it's a pleasure to meet you." β
"Tomil, so do I. β
The sun is thin, the wind and the wheat waves are light, and the blonde boy and the daughter of the sea form a beautiful picture under the rolling wheat waves.
