Chapter 3: Master
With a bang, the door to the cell quickly closed, and the footsteps of the jailer became farther and farther away. Ye Ying stood in the cell, it was dark all around, he couldn't see anything, it was a little terrifying, and he could even hear his own heartbeat.
After a long time, Ye Ying got used to the light in the prison, and barely saw a pile of hay in the corner of the cell, so he slowly walked over and sat down on the hay.
Unlike the imagination of the officers, Ye Ying, who had just entered the prison, neither yelled nor cried bitterly, but just sat in the corner of the cell very indifferently, not at all like a child who was not yet fourteen years old.
If he had been in such an environment two years ago, he would have been scared to death like his peers. However, the changes in the past two years have made Ye Ying very confident, and he can deal with things very calmly.
The appearance of the three masters two years ago let the young Ye Ying know that there are still so many magical things in this world.
Leaning against the wall of the cell, Ye Ying recalled the scene of the first meeting with the three masters, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
One evening two years ago, Ye Ying caught two big crucian carp in the pond at the foot of the mountain behind the village, roasted them on the dry firewood by the pond, and was eating bare-chested, when three strange people suddenly appeared around him.
These three weirdos are all disabled, one has a broken hand, one has a missing foot, and two of the men, both of whom look like they are forty or fifty years old, have scars on their faces, and they all make people feel horrible, the only beautiful woman, but unfortunately a blind person.
However, unlike other people with disabilities, they do not seem to be affected by physical inadequacies. The state of action is even more agile than that of a healthy person, and the facial expressions and eyes reveal unfathomable depth, which makes people feel very stressed.
What made Ye Ying feel even more frightened was that these three people were staring at him excitedly like jackals seeing their prey, with an excited look on their faces, and they didn't even want to blink their eyes.
Ye Ying subconsciously handed the grilled fish in his hand to the three of them, but they were not interested in the grilled fish in their hands at all, and they were still looking at themselves with bright eyes.
This scene made Ye Ying feel inexplicably frightened, he hurriedly dropped the fish and ran in the direction of the village, who knew that he had just run not far away, and hit a person fiercely.
Ye Ying looked up and saw that he was hit by the burly cripple among the three, this person was obviously far behind Ye Ying, and he was still holding a crutch that seemed to be quite heavy, I don't know when, he actually ran in front of him.
This scene made Ye Ying even more frightened, and he turned around and ran in the other direction. Having grown up in the village, he is very familiar with the terrain, his movements are very agile, and his speed has always been his greatest pride.
But when he had gone some distance with his head down, he looked up and saw the lame man standing not far in front of him. Looking at his leisurely appearance, it seems that he has been waiting in front of him for a while.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ying didn't think about it, turned his head and ran in another direction. But soon after, the lame man with a cane miraculously appeared in front of him.
After a few runs, Ye Ying finally found that no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain, so he had to sit on the ground, looking at the lame man in front of him in horror, and waiting powerlessly for everything that happened next.
The lame man came to Ye Ying, grabbed an eagle pendant hanging from Ye Ying's neck, and looked at it carefully, with an eager look in his eyes.
"Where did this thing come from?" The cripple asked in a deep voice.
"I ...... I...... I don't know where it came from, but my grandfather said that when he picked me up in the mountains, I had this thing around my neck. Ye Ying was frightened and hurriedly stammered.
"What's your name?" The eagerness in the cripple's eyes intensified.
"My name is Ye Ying." Looking at this lame man, Ye Ying didn't dare to resist in his heart, and hurriedly replied.
Ye Ying's gaze kept falling on the lame man's face, and he found that when this person heard his name, his expression seemed to suddenly relax a lot, and he also revealed obvious joy and excitement.
"Who gave you that name?" The cripple asked again.
"Grandpa said that when he picked me up, there was a piece of cloth in the swaddling clothes with my name written on it. Grandpa said that in order to make it easier for the people who discarded me to come back to me in the future, he didn't give me another name. ”
Hearing that the other party's tone was much softer, Ye Ying's heart was much less nervous, but he still didn't dare to be careless, and said cautiously.
Next, Ye Ying was surprised to find that this crippled man with a vicious face showed excitement in his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, and tears actually flowed out of his eyes, flowing down the scar on his cheek.
"It's him, it's him, it's been thirteen years, we finally found it, sixth brother, ninth sister, come here!" The lame man shouted to the side with tears in his eyes, making Ye Ying feel very confused.
The other two people, a thin man with only one arm, and a blind woman with a very beautiful appearance quickly rushed over and took the eagle pendant around Ye Ying's neck to check for a long time.
Everything that happened made Ye Ying at a loss, and he couldn't run away, so he had to let these three people touch him, feeling uneasy, and finally the beautiful woman cried bitterly, and held Ye Ying in her arms.
Although Ye Ying has 100,000 in his heart, why? But he didn't make any move, and let the beautiful woman hold him. For some reason, he felt that the embrace was very warm.
The three of them cried and laughed for a long time, and finally quieted down.
"Ye Ying, are you willing to be our apprentice, we can teach you many things." The lame man replied in a deep voice.
"What can you teach me, can I run as fast as you?" After a long time, Ye Ying felt that the lame man's face was not so scary, so his tone of voice calmed down a lot.
"We'll have a lot of them, you can be faster than I just did, and I can teach you a lot of kung fu." The lame man said, and a smile appeared on his face, but Ye Ying felt that this smile was not good at all.
"Then can you beat the Liu Dart Master in the town?" Liu Dart is the most powerful person Ye Ying has ever seen, and it is said that he was once alone. Dealt with several robbers.
"That kind of martial artist, dozens of them can't get close to me." The lame man said with some disdain, as if comparing himself with Liu Dart was an insult to himself.
But Ye Ying's eyes showed a look of disbelief, could it be that there is a more powerful character in the world than Liu Dartshi? But now that he knew that these three people had no ill will towards him, he felt much more relaxed in his heart.
"Second brother, it seems that you have lost your face today, a dignified six-grade upper realm master, and you are actually disliked by a child." The tall and thin man said with a smile on the side.
"Do you see if I'm qualified to be your master?" The lame man couldn't hold back on his face, and suddenly he jumped up, with his heavy iron crutch, and actually stood on the top of the big tree.
Next, the lame man waved the iron crutch in his hand, and a large stone more than ten meters away from him was actually smashed into several pieces.
Ye Ying was taken aback, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the stone, trying to find out what the lame man was used to break the stone.
"This is an internal force, and it can hurt the enemy from a long distance." The weak man had come to him at some point.
"Can I be this too?" Ye Ying was a little excited, he often heard that Mr. Storyteller told stories in the town, and knew many big people, and he dreamed of being a big hero like the one in the book.
"As long as you are smart enough and willing to endure hardships, you may be even more powerful than this." The words of the weak man had a great temptation to Ye Yingju.
In this way, Ye Ying became the apprentices of these three strange people, and they also lived in Ye Ying's grass hut. They almost never go out on weekdays, and almost no one comes to Ye Ying's house, and occasionally someone comes, and the three of them will disappear quickly, so in the past two years, no one in the village knows that there are still three people in his family.
One thing Ye Ying was a little strange, there were only three of them, but they had to let themselves call them Second Master, Sixth Master, and Ninth Master. He also asked the reason, but he was always sent away by the sentence You will know later, after a long time, Ye Ying stopped asking, and he was used to being called like this.
In the past two years, Ye Ying has lived a very fulfilling life, the second master of the lame man taught him kung fu, the sixth master of one hand taught him medical skills, the beautiful ninth master taught him to read and write, and also taught him to learn military books, saying that he could become a general who commanded the army and fought in the future.
Under the careful teaching of the three of them, Ye Ying learned a lot of things, and more importantly, he became calm and confident.
The second master is very strict, and he is also the principal of the three masters, always with a straight face, and he doesn't like to talk on weekdays. But he is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, and when he teaches himself internal martial arts and martial arts, he sometimes reprimands himself harshly, and even gives himself some punishments, but the whip is often raised high and falls gently.
The sixth master taught himself medical skills, talked a lot, and was a little humorous, and it could be seen that his medical skills were indeed extraordinary, and he could say the names of many medicinal materials in one mouth, and he was familiar with their efficacy.
While teaching himself literacy and the art of war, Master Nine was also responsible for cooking. Master Jiu's cooking skills are very good, and he often makes some delicacies that Ye Ying has never tasted.
Master Nine is the one who cares about himself the most, and often gets up in the middle of the night to help himself cover the quilt, once he was sick and feverish, and he saw Master Nine secretly wiping his tears.
These two years are Ye Ying's happiest two years, he finally realized what is the warmth of home and what is the care of relatives? Ye Ying always thought of this in his heart, hoping that time would stay in such days forever.
Ye Ying opened his eyes and sat in this dark cell for a long time, and his eyes were a little adapted. It could barely see what was going on inside the cell, where there was a pile of grass piled up in the corner, and the only thing was a dilapidated table.
In front of the cell was a guardrail and a gate surrounded by thick iron rods, and there was a huge iron lock on the door, Ye Ying took a cursory look at these iron thicknesses, according to his current strength, he couldn't open them no matter what.
However, for the current situation, he should not be in a hurry at all, and the improvement of his strength has made him more calm and confident.
This place is not bad, no one bothers him, and it is still good to cultivate internal strength here and practice a few newly learned martial arts.
Thinking of this, Ye Ying sat up straight, adjusted his posture, and began to follow the exercises taught by the second master, according to the designated route, to urge the internal force in the body, and began to practice.
Ye Ying's internal strength heart method is called "Zhimu Heart Sutra", according to the second master who taught him internal strength, this set of internal strength heart method is a prefecture-level middle-grade exercise method.
Although he didn't know what this prefecture-level mid-grade represented, seeing that the second master passed on such a formal appearance to him, and told himself that when he practiced this exercise, he must not let people see it, and Ye Ying knew that this set of exercises must be extraordinary.
This No. 8 cell is located near the innermost end of the cell, and when I came all the way, I saw that there were no prisoners in the cells I passed by, and this was a good place to cultivate. Therefore, Ye Ying completely relaxed and seized this rare time to cultivate.
