Chapter Thirty-Eight: Apprenticeship (Click)
Simple dinner.
Su Ping took out a new gray cloth shoe from under the bed as if offering a treasure, and reached out to hand it to Su Heng.
"Summer is coming, the shoes you are wearing are too thick, I have prepared a new pair of shoes for you during this time, put them on quickly and try to see if they fit."
Su Heng reached out and took it, trying to put it on his feet.
No surprises.
During this time, his body developed rapidly, and these cloth shoes were already a little too small to wear.
"I've grown taller again..."Su Ping scratched his head when he saw this scene, and his face showed a little disappointed. But this look quickly disappeared, and she said with a smile: "It's good to grow taller, no one dares to bully you." If you want to wear your shoes, you can change them when you go back and wear them. ”
"Hmm."
Su Heng nodded.
I want to tell the second sister not to be so troublesome.
It doesn't cost much to buy a pair of shoes from the outside.
Su Ping seemed to know Su Heng's thoughts, and said with a serious expression: "The shoes bought outside are not as good quality as the shoes I bought myself, and they are easy to layer. ”
"You're out there alone, wearing shoes I made, and I'm relieved."
“……”
Su Heng looked at Su Ping's serious appearance, and in a trance, he seemed to see his mother.
He nodded, "That's fine." ”
The eldest sister's whereabouts are now unknown.
The second sister Su Ping is the only family member he has left, so there is no need to make her unhappy about these little things.
At this time, Su Heng noticed a small gray cloth handkerchief placed by Su Ping on the table, he reached out and took it, put it in front of his nose, and could smell a subtle fragrance.
"Where did you get this handkerchief?" Su Heng asked curiously.
During this time, there are occasional Taoist priests in the square who preach and teach, and if you go to the class, you can receive some small gifts. Sometimes it's some coarse grains, sometimes it's some copper coins... This handkerchief was given by the Taoist priests. ”
Su Ping blinked, with a smile on his face when he said these words.
Obviously.
No matter what the era.
Being able to prostitute for nothing is a happy thing.
Su Heng was a little speechless, and asked instead, "Taoist priests preach and teach, can you understand?" ”
"I don't understand." Su Ping shook his head and replied as a matter of course: "But, if you go to the class, you can take something." ”
Su Ping saw that the expression on Su Heng's face seemed to be a little serious.
Suddenly thinking that he had done something wrong, he cautiously asked, "Is this not quite right?" ”
Su Heng shook his head.
To be honest, I heard Su Ping's description.
Su Heng subconsciously thought that those demons of the White Lotus Sect were building momentum for himself.
However, Su Ping doesn't have any contact with anyone else on weekdays, and it seems that it is not good to stay alone in a narrow room.
Su Heng's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Those Taoist priests don't feel like good people. We don't lack this stuff at home, so it's better to stay away from them if it's not necessary. ”
"Really?"
Su Ping nodded as if he didn't understand.
She couldn't understand why the Taoist priest who gave people food and copper coins was not a good person.
However, since my brother has already said so, there must be a reason for him. Compared with outsiders, Su Ping must be more willing to listen to his younger brother.
"That's right."
Seeing that the atmosphere had become a little dull, Su Heng remembered something important.
A rare smile appeared on his face, and he said to Su Ping a little mysteriously: "I bought a courtyard on Nanqiao Street. Nice view, easy access to water, we can move there in a few days. ”
"Isn't it possible to grow some vegetables in the yard?"
Su Ping blinked.
The first thing that came to mind was somewhat unexpected by Su Heng.
"Absolutely." Su Heng smiled and nodded.
There are some rockery gardens in the yard, and the scenery is pretty good.
However, if the second sister wants to farm in the yard, it is not a pity to bulldoze all these messy things and throw them away.
……
The next day.
Su Heng followed the agreed time.
Outside a compound of bungalows near the inner city, wait quietly.
Soon, there was the thud of fists and feet colliding in the compound, as well as the sound of energetic shouts from the exercise.
Su Heng estimated that the time was about the same.
Knock on the door.
Knock knock!
After waiting for a while, the vermilion door was pushed open from the inside, revealing a large, dull yellow face that was somewhat wooden.
The owner of that big face was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, tall, and looked just a little lower than Su Heng, and it was estimated that he was more than one meter nine tall.
Besides.
Su Heng noticed that the middle-aged man's hands and feet were extraordinarily thick, full of calluses, and he seemed to have practiced some kind of special fist and foot exercises.
This wooden man looked Su Heng up and down, and said, "You are Su Heng, here to learn boxing?" ”
"Exactly!" Su Heng clenched his fists: "I don't know what this senior brother is called?" ”
"My name is Lu Ping."
The yellow-faced man squeezed out a smile on his face and replied, "Steward Ji has already told me about you yesterday, and you can come with me to see Master." ”
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu Ping."
Su Heng followed Lu Ping into the courtyard.
The spacious and tidy courtyard is lined with stones, stakes, sandbags, and other facilities for exercising.
More than a dozen naked men are constantly polishing their strength. Under the shade of the tree, a thin old man in a gray robe was lying leisurely on a chaise longue, holding a bowl of hot tea in his hand and tasting it slowly.
On the wooden table next to the old man, there are also snacks such as dried fruits, chicken feet, and refreshments.
The apprentices who were practicing boxing seriously in the courtyard noticed Su Heng who was following behind Lu Ping. Some of them stopped what they were doing and looked at Su Heng's tall body, their mouths slightly open, and their faces showed a look of surprise.
The eldest brother Lu Ping is already a rare tall and wide body.
And Su Heng, who followed behind Lu Ping, looked like he was a head taller than Lu Ping.
Even if he didn't know what Su Heng's martial arts cultivation was, looking at such a strong physique was enough to give people a preconceived sense of shock.
"Whatever you see, you want to practice, don't you?"
Seeing his disciple stop his movements, the thin old man on the recliner suddenly looked a little unhappy. He opened his mouth without being salty, although his voice was not loud.
But there is no majesty.
The young disciples in the courtyard suddenly shuddered, and they all withdrew their attention and concentrated on the action moves at hand.
At this time.
The emaciated old man sat up straight from the chaise longue.
Stretched out his hand to beckon Su Heng to come to his side, squinted his eyes and looked him up and down carefully, and then reached out and pinched it hard in the direction of Su Heng's lower ribs.
Su Heng suddenly only felt that half of his body was numb for a while, and he almost lost consciousness, and it took a few breaths before he gradually recovered.
