Chapter 82: Accepting Apprentices?
I turned around and found no trace of Lindsay and Kun, Wednesday was a little distressed, it would be nice if Little Dandan was here, but it was a little unrealistic to go back and pick up Little Dandan.
But where could Lindsay and Quinn go? Could it be that they had discovered someone following them and hid them? Thinking of this, Wednesday surveyed his surroundings and then sprang into a nearby wooded area like an arrow.
The woods are so dense that it is naturally impossible to find them with the naked eye, so Wednesday closed his eyes and calmed himself completely, focusing all his attention on his ears and listening to the movements coming from the woods as if he were in a meditation.
Insects, birds, wind, grass and trees rubbing against each other, these sounds that I don't usually feel like echoed in Wednesday's ears, although chaotic but very natural, without the slightest sense of disobedience. A few minutes later, Wednesday still didn't find anything abnormal, aren't they hiding here?
When he was wondering, he suddenly heard a slight exhalation sound, a bit like the exhalation sound after he finished practicing internal strength, but it was more like the sound of an ordinary person holding his breath and slowly exhaling it, although the sound was relatively low, but it seemed very discordant in Wednesday's ears.
Hearing this, Wednesday walked over and said, "Lindsay, Kun, come out." ”
"Ah, it's Mr. Bruce," Quint jumped out of the grass as if he had seen a relative, and almost burst into tears, standing in front of Wednesday and smirking, "Mr. Bruce." ”
Wednesday nodded, then looked at Lindsay, who was quietly standing up, "Why did you get here?"
Lindsay walked up to Wednesday and grinned, then Yaoyao said, "I would like to ask Mr. Bruce to take us as students." ”
"Student?" Wednesday smiled noncommittally, "What student? Swordsman or mage? I'm neither a swordsman nor a mage, how can I teach you?"
Lindsay and Kun looked at each other, they really didn't expect Wednesday to say that. If Wednesday's statement was true, and he was neither a mage nor a swordsman, then their decision to apprentice was foolish, but if it was Wednesday's prevarication, they were even more disappointed, because it was clear that Wednesday was not willing to teach them at all.
For a while, the two sisters and brothers looked at each other, relatively speechless, and didn't know what to say.
Wednesday smiled when he saw this, "Do you plan to sell fish all the time?"
Lindsay quickly collected his emotions, shook his head and said, "No, we came to Fox City to find you, sir, now, I think we should go back to Pips City, after all, that's our hometown." ”
"Back to your hometown to sell fish?" asked Wednesday continued.
Lindsay lowered her head, "Yes. ”
Seeing Lindsay's embarrassed look, Wednesday nodded, "If you don't dislike it, I'm willing to teach you a craft, not to mention how much money you make, but so that you don't have to fish for a living, you can live a stable life." ”
Kun became anxious when he heard this, "We don't need your mercy. ”
Lindsay hurriedly took Kun's hand and looked at Wednesday with a little pleading, "Mr. Bruce, thank you for your kindness, it's just that we, if we just want a stable life, we have other options, however, we just need more strength." ”
Wednesday didn't care about Kun's attitude, just looked at Chrissy and asked, "Revenge?"
Lindsay nodded hesitantly, "It's so strong, so strong that Mr. Bruce may not be his opponent." ”
Wednesday smiled, "In this case, it's useless for you to look for me, I'm not your enemy's opponent, and if you learn from me, you're not your enemy's opponent, so it's better to live your life well." ”
"However, if Mr. takes us in, we still have a glimmer of hope, but if Mr. doesn't take us, we really have to find a place to live until we die, and the people of the Jenverny family will not like that kind of life," Lindsay said calmly, "and Mr. Bruce only needs to take my brother, although he is not sensible, but he works hard." ”
Looking at Lindsay's performance, Wednesday really likes it, a very smart little girl, and very calm, has eyes, speaks in a measured manner, and is much better than Kun. Especially have a heart, but don't play smart.
I was stopped in the city just now to collect protection money, in fact, they have at least two hundred gold coins, and it is no problem to take out two of them to get out temporarily, and there is no need to feel distressed at all. But Lindsay behaved miserably, and found a pile of change, as if it were all her belongings. If Lindsay behaves poorly and takes out two gold coins without care, it will be strange if it does not arouse suspicion, and maybe it will lead to death.
and the question just now on Wednesday, the answer was also quite decent, not only pointing out the purpose of their sister and brother, but also expressing their own hardships, and at the same time euphemistically expressing their current predicament, so that Wednesday couldn't help but feel sympathy.
This ability to observe words and emotions and calm brain is indeed rare, but if you just accept them like this, will it still be Wednesday?" "I don't accept students, and I can't teach you any real skills, but it's still the same sentence, if you want to learn a craft and live a good life, wait for me on the beach over there tomorrow morning, if you don't want to, you can leave quickly, this is not a good place." ”
After Wednesday said these words, he turned around and left, and ran out of the woods to the east, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The two sisters and brothers looked at each other, "Sister, what should I do?"
Lindsay looked calmly into the distance and asked, "What do you think?"
Kun lowered his head and was silent, not saying a word.
Lindsay snorted, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you have to go tomorrow, no matter what he asks you to do, this is our only chance." ”
"But what if he thinks of you?" said Kun hesitantly.
"Wouldn't that be better?" said Lindsey indifferently, "If he can take a fancy to me, it will be a blessing for our two brothers and sisters, and the hope of revenge will be greater, but don't think too much about it, he is not that kind of person, and the two women around him are so beautiful that they can look at me?"
Kun obviously didn't dare to disobey his sister's wishes, nodded and agreed.
Wednesday didn't know about the conversation between Lindsay and his brother, but it didn't matter, he didn't have the idea of accepting their sister and brother as apprentices, he just wanted to find two helpers, and only Lindsay's ability to deal with the world was valued. If Lindsay could help him make money, he wouldn't have to worry about eating every day in the future.
Of course, it also depends on Lindsay's wishes, if Lindsay doesn't want to, Wednesday can't force her, after all, everyone has their own choice, as for letting Wednesday accept them as apprentices, it is absolutely impossible. Not to mention that Wednesday doesn't plan to spread these things of his own, even if he wants to spread them, he may not be able to teach them.
Martial arts inheritance is such a thing, and it is not easy to find good apprentices. Wednesday himself hasn't even learned home, isn't it a mistake to teach others? Of course, Wednesday is still selfish and unwilling to reveal his own details.
"Huh, didn't you say you won't be back tonight?" Chrissy was a little curious when she saw Wednesday, "It's done?"
Wednesday nodded, "Almost," he said with a smile, "It's been a suffocating time." ”
Chrissy pinched the little Dandan's face with a sad face, and then said depressedly: "I'm going crazy, you can quickly find me something else, if this continues, I suspect that I will suffocate to death." ”
Wednesday nodded, "I'll teach you a set of alchemy, do you want to learn it?"
"Alchemy?" Chrissy looked at Wednesday suspiciously, "You want me to learn your flashy tricks from you?"
She didn't care about Chrissy's derogatory remarks on Wednesday, she just didn't know the specifics, and these opinions had to wait until later to change with facts, and it was useless to say more on Wednesday now. And Wednesday thinks that the more people in this world despise him, the better, so that in the battle, he can invisibly take some advantage.
But today is for Chrissy to find something to do, not to teach her martial arts. Wednesday took a deep breath and stood up, then slowly lifted his right leg, lifted it up from the side, and then slowly lifted it all the way to the top of his head, "See?"
Chrissy shrugged, "That's what you're going to teach me, what's the use? I'm not a dancer!"
Wednesday hehe smiled: "You think so, but it's wrong, my set of kung fu is called "Soft Bone Gong", as the name suggests, it can make people's muscles and bones softer, but don't think that it is just such an effect, let me tell you, if you can practice diligently, you can not only improve a person's physical flexibility, but also improve reaction ability, coordination, and can make people always maintain a good figure, but also can improve strength and agility and other physical qualities. ”
"So good?" Chrissy looked incredulous, "but with a fighting spirit, such a little benefit is not worth mentioning at all, and there is almost no difference whether you have a root or not." ”
Wednesday nodded, "Don't think that everything will be fine if you have a fighting spirit, and the fighting energy will be consumed, and even if you have a fighting spirit, you have to consume physical energy when fighting, and your physical strength is insufficient, no matter how strong your fighting spirit is, your combat effectiveness will also be halved, although my set of kung fu can't make your combat strength significantly improved, it can make your foundation stronger." ”
Chrissy looked at Wednesday in disbelief after hearing this, "Okay, then I'll try, if it doesn't work, I'll settle accounts with you." ”
Wednesday said with a smile, "Don't worry, and you can't use Dou Qi now, your body will often be very tired, if you can practice this set of kung fu well, you will be in good spirits every day." ”
"Soft Bone Gong" is indeed very magical, I can clearly feel it on Wednesday, since the practice of "Soft Bone Gong", his body feels much lighter, and his running and jumping ability has improved without light exercises.
It's just that if you want to practice this kung fu well, it will take a lot of work, especially for people of the age like Wednesday and Chrissy, most of the muscles and bones have been formed and closed, and if you want to pull them apart again, the process is very painful.
