Chapter 8: Beginning to learn martial arts

In the end, Xu Zhisheng still strengthened his belief and changed into a moon-white dress.

After lunch, Wu Peiqing took Xu Zhisheng to eliminate food.

Yesterday, because it was still late, Wu Peiqing just asked Xu Zhisheng to familiarize herself with the environment of the yard, and today while the sun is shining, she will take her to familiarize herself with the road conditions in the mountains, and in case of danger in the future, there are measures to deal with it.

"This is the way down the mountain."

Pulling through the grass piles, you can see a winding path with some greenery on all sides.

Thinking of yesterday's incident, Xu Zhisheng slowly asked, "My father... How's it going? ”

"It's deceased, Xia Shen and I heard the people talking about it when we went down the mountain today, saying that it was attacked by unknown people, and now the emperor has sent someone to investigate." Wu Peiqing didn't plan to say it, but now that Xu Zhisheng mentioned it, he told the truth.

"They have been sent back to the capital of the Southern Qi Kingdom, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally handle it." Afraid that Xu Zhisheng would do something stupid, Wu Peiqing said earnestly: "Third sister, your father entrusted you to us before he died, and Second Brother Qing hopes that you will live well and cherish the present, do you understand?" ”

"I understand." Xu Zhisheng showed a far-fetched smile, "I still have a lot of things to do." ”

Like what... Find the second brother Xu Quan, such as... Find out who the man in black is.

But now, the man in black knows the news that he is not dead, and he is estimated to set some trap, he has no power to restrain the chicken, and he must not act impulsively, let alone let Fu Jing allow them to take risks for themselves.

"Here's for you."

Xu Zhisheng came back to his senses and saw Wu Peiqing take out a sachet from his clothes, the sachet seemed to have been used for many years, the surface was a little worn, and there was a half piece of jade pendant in the sachet, although the jade pendant was very incomplete, it was still crystal clear.

She recognized this jade pendant, it was her father's inseparable baby.

The jade pendant was originally a love token specially customized by Mrs. Zhou and given to Zhou Yi, which should have been intact, and later Mrs. Zhou gave birth to Zhou Quan, and Zhou Yi divided the jade pendant into two, one was given to Zhou Quan, and the other was placed on himself.

Wu Peiqing handed the jade pendant to Xu Zhisheng, "This is given to me by your father, so I can be regarded as leaving you a thought." ”

"Thank you, Second Brother Qing."

Xu Zhisheng took the jade pendant, stroked it gently, and carefully put the jade pendant into his clothes.

"Second brother Qing, do you have a brazier at home?"

"Yes."

"Can you help me find out?"

"Okay, but..."Wu Peiqing wondered, "What do you want the brazier to do?" ”

Xu Zhisheng looked into the distance, "Say goodbye to the past." ”

The future is still long, and she still has time to be strong.

Looking at the hidden path, facing the place to go to the capital of the Southern Qi Kingdom, Xu Zhisheng knelt down and kowtowed three times on the ground.

May my father and mother have a good journey......

After returning to the small courtyard, Xu Zhisheng took out his previous clothes from the room, and Wu Peiqing also found a brazier.

The firelight flickered in the brazier, and slowly began to flourish, Xu Zhisheng put the clothes in, and the fire swallowed the clothes, pulling them into the dusty abyss, and from time to time there would be some sparks.

Knowing that Zhou Yi and his wife had passed away, everyone was in the courtyard, and when they saw Xu Zhisheng kneeling down to them, Wu Peiqing was just about to stop him, but he was stopped by Fu Jingrong shaking his head.

"Thank you for saving your life, and thank you for your containment, Zhou Hua has thanked you here, please accept Zhou Yan's worship." After speaking, Xu Zhisheng bowed to them.

After worshipping, it was Xia Haijie who helped her up, "From now on, we will be treated as a family." ”

"Okay."

The sparks in the brazier have slowly been extinguished, and everything has settled.

Since then, there has been no more talk in this world...

Only Xu Zhisheng ......

///

In order to become stronger, Xu Zhisheng got up early in the morning.

Holding a slingshot in her left hand and a marble in her right hand, she set her target on a small piece of wood in the distance, locked her eyes on the front, put the iron marble on her leather pocket, pulled it back, and then let go, and the marble was launched, but it fell off before she could get close to the target.

Failed again, looking at the many iron marbles on the ground, and there were few on the wooden board, Xu Zhisheng was a little annoyed, how did she shoot the man in black at that time? Could it be that it is only because of the explosive power in the midst of danger?

"The power is less."

Hearing the voice, Xu Zhisheng turned around and saw Fu Jingrong standing next to him, remembering Fu Jingrong's skills in the novel, Xu Zhisheng suddenly had an idea.

"Wow, I didn't expect to see such an extraordinary beautiful man early in the morning, it's really my life's luck." She used her skills to speak well, and she didn't forget to ask Fu Jingrong for warmth, "How did you sleep last night?" ”

"Of course it's good that there are no children to disturb you."

"That's that, that's." Xu Zhisheng hurriedly nodded in agreement, "There are no children to disturb you, you have enough sleep, and you have the strength to practice martial arts in the morning." ”

Sensing that there was something in the child's words, Fu Jingrong raised his eyebrows, "Say what you want to say." ”

"Okay." Xu Zhisheng was straightforward, looking at Fu Jingrong with a blank eye, "Can you teach me martial arts?" ”

Fu Jingrong frowned, "What kind of martial arts does the girl learn?" ”

These words made Xu Zhisheng anxious, "Of course the girl has to learn martial arts, and only by learning martial arts can she protect herself." ”

"I can protect you too."

"It's different, you can't protect me for the rest of my life, can you?"

Seeing that Fu Jingrong didn't speak, Xu Zhisheng thought that she had successfully persuaded him, but who knew that Fu Jingrong was considering the feasibility of protecting her for the rest of her life, and he also came up with an answer.

"It's not impossible."

"But I don't want to, I don't want to live under the wings of others for the rest of my life, my wish is to be chivalrous, to be a chivalrous warrior, to see the road is uneven, draw a sword to help, don't you do the same."

Aren't you the same?

The boy is ambitious in all directions, he used to be full of enthusiasm, traveled the rivers and lakes, and had ambitions, but after more than 100 years, now this blood has faded, and it is not as good as the child in front of him.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, so I'll teach you, but you also promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?"

Xu Zhisheng's joy had already jumped on his face, but when he heard what Fu Jingrong said later, his whole face collapsed again.

"You have to learn not only martial arts, but also guqin."

In order to learn martial arts, I... endure

Seeing the process of the child's face changing, Fu Jingrong couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, just about to reduce the burden of learning guqin for her, she heard Xu Zhisheng agree.

"I learn."

"Okay."

As a result, Xu Zhisheng began the painful road of learning piano and martial arts.

On the first day, before dawn, Xu Zhisheng was pulled out by Fu Jingrong to run the mountain, after running the mountain, took a bath, rested for a while, and began to practice again, so at the end of the day, she always felt that her hands and feet were not her own.

"I'm so tired." As soon as Xu Zhisheng returned to the room, she lay directly on the bed, regardless of whether her feet had gone to bed yet, now she just wanted to be a salted fish.

Gradually, sleepiness swept through his body, Xu Zhisheng's vision began to blur, and when he was about to enter the dream, he suddenly felt movement, and a spirit woke up, and saw that it was Fu Jingrong who came in with a wooden basin, and lay back silently.

Fu Jingrong put the wooden basin on the floor and reminded: "Soak your feet before sleeping." ”

"I don't want to move." Xu Zhisheng muttered, just being heard by Fu Jingrong.

Fu Jingrong didn't want to care about her, but she was afraid that the child would be lazy and not soak her feet now, and she would mumble about leg pain tomorrow, so she decided to help her with kindness.

He first tested the temperature of the water with his own hands, and after determining the temperature, he dipped the towel on the wooden basin and wrung it out.

"Hands."

Xu Zhisheng heard what Fu Jingrong said in a daze, stretched out her hand, and when one hand finished wiping, she stretched out her other hand again.

"Pretentious." Fu Jingrong smiled helplessly.

After wiping her two hands, Fu Jingrong took off Xu Zhisheng's shoes and socks and put her feet into the wooden basin.

Remembering that when she was wiping the child's hands just now, her red fingertips, Fu Jingrong took out a vial of white porcelain, which contained ointment to reduce swelling and muscles.

This is what he asked for from Wu Peiqing, originally Wu Peiqing also practiced martial arts since he was a child, but now he is running halfway to study medicine.

Fu Jingrong seemed to know the reason, half for him, and half for Zhou Yi's influence.

Opening the lid, Fu Jingrong gently smeared the ointment on Xu Zhisheng's hand.

The icy cold touch made Xu Zhisheng move slightly, and after adapting to this temperature, he also relaxed.

After his hands were wiped and his feet were almost soaked, Fu Jingrong lifted Xu Zhisheng's feet, blotted the water with a towel, and then gently put his feet on the bed.

After soaking her feet, Xu Zhisheng was refreshed, but in contrast, the regular clothes on her body made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she pulled the neckline with her hand.

Fu Jingrong also saw her actions, due to the sequelae left by taking care of the child for a long time, he forgot that she was a girl, and subconsciously wanted to help her loosen her clothes, and before he touched the clothes, he quickly realized that something was wrong.

He stopped, and then simply covered the quilt like this, covering Xu Zhisheng tightly, and only one head was exposed all over his body.

Out of sight is out of sight.

After doing this, Fu Jingrong left with the wooden basin as if nothing happened.

That night, Xu Zhisheng had a dream in which she was pressed by a mountain until she couldn't breathe.

So before it was time to run the mountain, she had already woken up, because she was woken up by the heat...

Since she felt the charm of foot soaking, the next day she secretly lay on the bed, waiting for Fu Jingrong's foot soaking service, who knew that when she woke up, Fu Jingrong didn't even come.

Running the mountain that day, Xu Zhisheng almost wanted to cry and complete the day's activities without tears.

Better do it than wish it done.

From then on, Xu Zhisheng obediently soaked his feet in water.

After studying like this for a few days, Fu Jingrong made some changes to Xu Zhisheng's teaching, such as tying sacks of a certain weight to his hands and feet when running the mountain, and waiting until everyone else got up one after another and had breakfast, and then began to learn the piano.

As for why he waited for everyone to wake up before learning the piano, it was because listening to Xu Zhisheng playing the piano was a nightmare.

In Fu Jingrong's words, others play the piano with lingering sounds, but she plays the piano with a magic sound that lingers in her ears for three days.

Even Xia Haijie, Xia Shen, and Wu Peiqing did not accuse Xu Zhisheng of his 'crime'.

But fortunately, under the guidance of Fu Jingrong, Xu Zhisheng's piano learning slowly got on the right track, and everyone no longer had a headache about it.

///

The sun slowly rose from the mountain, and Fu Jingrong stood outside the courtyard, watching Xu Zhisheng running from a distance, and slowly stopped in front of him.

"How does it feel?"

"Also... It's okay. Xu Zhisheng's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly felt a bad premonition, Fu Jingrong had asked her how she felt before, she said it was okay, and she was pulled by him a few times.

Thinking of the past when he was ruined several times, Xu Zhisheng was miserable, and hurriedly supported his waist with one hand, put one hand next to his temple, and demonstrated that he was out of breath, "I'm so tired." ”

After speaking, he was about to fall on Fu Jingrong, but Fu Jingrong easily dodged it, so Xu Zhisheng could only staggered a few steps.

"Teach you how to shoot a slingshot tomorrow."

Hearing Fu Jingrong say this, Xu Zhisheng's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was not a bad thing.

While sighing, Xu Zhisheng looked up and saw Fu Jingrong raising his eyebrows, as if to say: That's it?

Only then did he react to what Fu Jingrong said.

"Really?" Xu Zhisheng's rocker straightened, and even his eyes lit up, as if the person who was tired just now was not her.

"Really."

Fu Jingrong nodded, after five years of study, the child's foundation is quite solid, it's time to teach her some real skills.

"Great."

Over the years, only her piano skills have increased, martial arts are only the most basic things to learn, and now that she has begun to learn the slingshot, Xu Zhisheng is so happy that she almost wants to fly.

"Let me tell you, Fu Jingrong is going to teach me how to shoot a slingshot." Xu Zhisheng did not hide his smile and said to everyone at the dinner table.

Xia Shen brought the soup to Xu Zhisheng, "Remember to be careful when practicing martial arts." ”

"I will, and so will Brother Xia Shen."

Hearing that Xu Zhisheng cared about Xia Shen, Wu Peiqing felt a little sour, "Congratulations to the third sister." ”

"Hee-hee." Xu Zhisheng heard the sourness in his words, and hurriedly put the vegetables into Wu Peiqing's bowl, "Second brother Qing eat more." ”

"Thank you for your concern."

Don't you have a hand that doesn't clip it yourself? Fu Jingrong, who was sitting on the side, watched coldly, until he had an extra piece of meat sandwiched by Xu Zhisheng in his bowl, and his heart was somewhat turbulent, and then he saw Xu Zhisheng sandwiching meat for everyone, and his heart suddenly had no waves, "Aren't you afraid that I won't teach you well?" ”

Tut-tut, Xia Haijie on the side watched the show with relish.

"You don't have to worry about teaching me badly, I believe in your skills very much, after all, you are strong in martial arts, and you are a rare talent at a glance, especially when firing a slingshot, that tall posture is enough to fascinate thousands of girls.

Xu Zhisheng could have blown another wave of rainbow farts, but when she heard what Fu Jingrong said, she understood what misfortune came from her mouth.

"Have you seen it?"

Xu Zhisheng looked at Fu Jingrong humbly.

She's actually seen it.

I remember that one day when she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, when she got up and went out to breathe, she passed by Fu Jingrong's room, and just glanced to the side, the person who was sleeping on the blanket was not there, but she found him in the yard.

The moonlight shone on him, and he drew his bow and fired it, just like in a painting.

Afraid of being discovered by him, Xu Zhisheng stayed at the door for a while, then returned to the room, and before going to bed, she also went to check her slingshot, and found that the slingshot was intact in place, so she guessed that Fu Jingrong had remade it.

After that day, Xu Zhisheng secretly went to the wooden board to see the results, but he didn't expect that the wooden board would only have one more hole.

At that time, Xu Zhisheng thought that Fu Jingrong was not as good as her, but when she saw a few stones lying on the ground behind the wooden board, Xu Zhisheng realized that all feelings had passed through a hole.

came back to her senses and saw that everyone was looking at her, Xu Zhisheng hurriedly lowered his head and picked up the rice, "How can there be, eat, eat." ”

As soon as she took a few bites, Xu Zhisheng suddenly felt a pain in her lower abdomen, and there was a warm current, she suddenly had a bad premonition, so she secretly looked at the stool, and she knew that it was over.
