Chapter 4 Apprenticeship
Guo Jing, Guo Mo and Zhebei chatted like this, until the sun was about to set, and Li Ping came back.
Looking at Li Ping from afar, Guo Mo's heart was very uncomfortable.
In terms of age, the current Li Ping is only twenty-three or four years old, which will be ten years old in the next generation, and it is still completely the age of arrogance.
But the Li Ping in front of her looked like a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a Mongolian unique felt scarf, and from the lower edge of the felt scarf, a trace of white hair was faintly exposed.
When Jebe saw Li Ping returning, he hurriedly stepped forward, told Li Ping in detail about today's incident, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude and apologies.
Hearing Guo Jing's strong chivalry, Li Ping stroked Guo Jing's head and said, "Good boy, being a man should be like this."
However, when she heard Guo Mo's series of performances today, Li Ping was very surprised, looked at Guo Mo standing in front of her, and couldn't believe that it was him.
Guo Mo, a child, has been silent since he was a child, has little timidity, and is weak. It was also because Guo Mo had a high fever last night, so he rushed to the market as soon as it was dawn, sold some sheepskins for some money, and bought some antipyretic medicine for Guo Mo by the way.
Although Guo Mo was not born to Li Ping, for the past six years, Li Ping has always regarded Guo Mo as his own. Due to Guo Mo's weak body, Li Ping's attention and care for Guo Mo was far more than Guo Jing's.
Listening to Zhebei tell about Guo Mo's series of performances today, to be honest, Li Ping can't believe it at all, is this still the son who has been raised by himself for six years and gets along day and night?
Seeing Li Ping's surprise, Guo Mo certainly knew what was going on.
"Mother---" Guo Mo pounced, hugged Li Ping's legs, and really called out to his mother. is not only the body of his own son, but also the heartfelt respect for this great mother.
Looking at the injuries on Guo Jing's head and Guo Mo's arms, Li Ping's tears fell "fluttering".
Seeing this, Zhebei hurriedly came over and said: "These two little babies are completely injured by me today, here are two ingots of gold, you can take them to buy some medicine for the child or tonify the body."
Li Ping stopped her tears and said to Jebel: "Saving people and helping the poor is what they should do, and concubines don't dare to accept money from guests."
Immediately, Jebe proposed that he wanted to take the two children as apprentices and teach them riding and archery and martial arts when the time was right.
Li Ping hesitated, after all, his family was Han, and Jebe was Mongolian. Although he doesn't have such a strong distinction between Han and Yi, but his Guo family ancestor is also a well-known Han hero, if he lets his two sons worship a Mongolian general as a teacher...
Li Ping glanced back at Guo Jing and Guo Mo again, and thought about her husband who died tragically, if he had been grazing horses and sheep on the grassland like now, how could the child take revenge on his family? It's better to worship Jebe as a teacher, learn martial arts, and enter the army, so that you can have a future.
After thinking about it again and again, Li Ping finally agreed to Jebel's proposal to accept apprentices, and Jebel was very happy.
Of course, Guo Mo didn't have any opinions, and he came to the Condor World inexplicably. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary college graduate, learning Chinese, and it is estimated that he read more novels than textbooks.
Although he doesn't have any ambitions now, he knows that in troubled times, if he doesn't have martial arts to defend himself, his life may be in danger at any time.
What's more, what man doesn't have a martial arts dream in his heart, this is an eagle shooting!
Guo Mo pulled Guo Jing and came to Jebe, kowtowed respectfully three times, which can be regarded as officially worshipping Jebe as a teacher and determining the status of master and apprentice.
Jebe also immediately gave one of the two ingots of gold, and this time the two had no reason to refuse, "the elder can't give it", this is a gift from the master to the apprentice.
Zhe Bei left, and agreed that when Guo Jing and Guo Mo grew up for another two years, they would teach the two of them riding and archery kung fu, and he also promised that he would come to see his two apprentices from time to time.
And Jebe wanted to work in Temujin's army, and joined the army of Temujin's third son, Wokotai, as a ten-division commander temporarily.
Of course, with Jebe's skill, it will not be long before he will be promoted because of his military exploits, and the last thing a soldier is afraid of is war, and Temujin's army is fighting on all sides, and gold will shine wherever it goes.
When it got dark, in the yurt, lit with mutton fat wax and dim lights, the mother and son chatted while eating dinner.
In normal times, it is mainly Li Ping who is talking and asking the children what happened in a day. In order to make a living, Li Ping has to go out to work every day, and she always can't stay at home for too long during the day.
But today, it was Li Ping and Guo Mo talking: "Mo'er, you are acting very well today, but why didn't you speak like this before?" ”
Guo Mo knew that he had to give his mother a suitable explanation.
I knew that I wasn't born to Li Ping, but Li Ping didn't know that I knew. Therefore, at any time, Li Ping is his own mother, and the dead Guo Xiaotian is his biological father, unless Li Ping finds it out himself.
But, will Li Ping? There doesn't seem to be a need to pick and choose.
"Mother, didn't the child have a fever last night, he was in a daze, and he kept dreaming, dreaming that he was in a place called Xuetang, where there were many children of my age, listening to Mr. Lecturing together."
"It's just one night, but it seems like a long, long time. I studied a lot of books, and my husband also talked a lot about the truth and knowledge. However, when I woke up, I found that I was still at home, and I didn't know how to have a lot of information in my head, understood a lot of truths, and became talkative. ”
Guo Mo said as he secretly looked at Li Ping's face.
This is an era of believing in gods and ghosts, and there are many stories of immortals dreaming and teaching art in dreams, but it is not so easy to encounter.
Looking at the son in front of him, talking eloquently and looking radiant, although Li Ping was still unacceptable for a while, after all, this was his son who had been with him for six years.
And the way it looks now is better than the taciturn and sick look before, right?
There was no word all night, and life was normal.
Li Ping went out early in the morning and continued to do things that seemed to be never finished.
Guo Mo felt it for a while, and found that his body was not unwell, so he didn't want to continue to stay in the tent, after all, he was no longer the original Guo Mo, and he also wanted to see what the desert he lived in was like.
It's just that, judging from last night's meal and this morning's meal, it seems that his meal has increased, and Guo Jing, who is harmed, has not been able to eat enough, and Li Ping promised to start cooking more meals next time.
After breakfast, Guo Mo and Guo Jing drove the sheep out. said that it was a flock of sheep, but in fact, there were only ten sheep in total, and one of them was taller, which looked like a sheep, and was actually ridden by Guo Jing.
For a moment, Guo Mo was stunned.
