Chapter 14: Senior Brother
The dew sprinkled on the morning sun, and the sky was white.
Almost as soon as dawn, Li Xun had already gotten up and started today's tempering.
Every day is to lift the stone, hold it all the way above your head, and then put it down.
This is the easiest way to build arm strength.
More than a month has passed, Zhao Xiaosi didn't succeed last time, I heard that Li Xun learned boxing and entered the Zhou clan, and he didn't dare to wander around.
But he didn't have any bad intentions, Li Xun grinded the senior brother for a long time before sending his sister in as a maid.
Usually I help cook and repair clothes, taking care of the hygiene of Master Zhou's tea room.
Master Zhou loves money more, because he is not too young and has no ideas about women.
The salary is a little lower, but there is food and shelter, and there are Collapse Fist disciples around, so there is basically no danger.
As for the family's land and house, the two of them discussed it and decided to rent it out.
The hemp left in the field was directly dug up and sold, which gave him ninety yuan, which could ensure the use of boxing for a period of time.
The vacant land and old house were rented to neighbors for 50 yuan a month.
In addition, he went to Zhao's house every five days to clean the study, and Li Xun calculated that he had about 170 yuan a month.
Regardless of my sister's salary, it was about the same as the previous harvest.
To learn boxing, you need to take a bath with the medicinal powder distributed in the courtyard every day, although the hot water is provided for free, but a paste of medicinal powder costs five copper coins.
Master Zhou still has his own ability to establish a reputation in this neighborhood, such as this patch powder, after taking a bath, even if he is numb and sore that night, he will not feel anything the next day.
But it costs 150 wen a month.
Coupled with exercise, my appetite has increased greatly, and I have to eat some meat from time to time to supplement my nutrition. The remaining twenty cents are simply not enough.
Fortunately, his parents sent some money from time to time, and he went out to do some odd things, which was barely enough.
The two of them couldn't come back during this time, but there was a letter every few days.
Instead of blaming him for renting out the house on his own initiative, Li's father and mother praised him for knowing how to protect his sister.
"Zhao Xiaosi dares to touch my daughter? I'm going to skin him when I get back! ”
These are the exact words of Father Li.
But Li Xun didn't count on his father.
He has been practicing hard with Senior Brother Sun during this time, taking one day off for five days, and going to Zhao's house to clean the study when the time comes.
In the morning, the stone is lifted to temper the arm strength, and after breakfast, it is a morning standing pile.
According to Senior Brother Sun's words, the chassis must be stable, and only between one attack and one defense can it be retracted and released freely.
In the afternoon, I went to the stake man with my brothers at the same time, which lasted for an hour and a half.
Next is Master Zhou's teaching time.
However, this group of senior brothers has only been getting started for a short time, and they just sent another senior brother named Zhang Yi to talk about the basic method of breaking fist.
That is, a little trick when it comes to tempering the body.
As for the moves or something, I didn't reveal half of the content.
If someone wants to inquire, they will be knocked back by Senior Brother Zhang with a bamboo pole.
"Practice the skin first, then train the bones, stabilize the chassis first, and then learn the offensive moves!"
"Otherwise, it's a showcase!"
"In as little as three months, as long as half a year, your group of disciples will be able to complete the steps of refining skins, and then someone will naturally teach you the moves!"
The inquiring disciple came back stupidly.
This also made Li Xun extinguish other thoughts.
However, at night, through the inner vision of the refining fire in my mind, I can faintly feel the purple veins.
According to this trend, half a year will be enough to refine the fire to the point of purple, and it will take a year and a half to transform into a crimson flame.
Time waits for no one.
Ten taels of silver is only one year's tuition.
If he didn't have the ability to protect himself at that time, I'm afraid Zhao Xiaosi would hit his sister with his idea.
Li Xun pondered for a long time, but he didn't think of any good way.
Now, I can only learn boxing hard and strive to get through the skin refining stage as soon as possible.
。。。
The mist had just risen, and the sun had just risen.
It's the wax moon, and the cold is raging.
In the compound, there was a figure early on.
There was no morning exercise today, but Li Xun still set up a posture in the corner of the courtyard in accordance with the tempering requirements.
Standing like a pine, muscles and bones.
In the three months since he started, he has barely touched the threshold of skin refining.
With muscles full and sharp eyes, he looks like a strong man.
Even the height has risen by a few centimeters.
Although he is not as talented as the talented and intelligent junior brother Huang Zhen, he broke through the skin refining barrier as early as early January and was summoned into the inner courtyard by the master, but in this group of disciples, he can be regarded as above average.
"Go a little lower!"
Before Li Xun could react, he only felt a big hand pressing on his back, and his figure instantly dropped by dozens of centimeters.
"Standing on the pile is tempered by leg strength, requiring one word, steady!"
The tall figure walked in front of him, and it turned out to be Senior Brother Zhang Yi.
Usually half a master's existence.
"I've seen Senior Brother Zhang!"
Li Xun said with his mouth, but his body didn't dare to move.
In three months, he had already figured out his senior brother's temper.
The senior brother has a good background and likes to teach his disciples to make friends. Simple flattery and catering will make him look down on him, but it is hard work to temper himself that will satisfy his senior brother.
"Keep practicing!"
With the senior brother by his side, Li Xun didn't dare to slack off.
It wasn't until the sun hung overhead that Zhang Yi asked him to stop and rest.
The place where Li Xun was standing was already wet.
His body was covered with sweat, and the heat was rising, and it was white.
It was close to noon at this time.
"Go take a shower, change your clothes, and go out with me later."
Senior Brother Zhang left after saying this.
Li Xun was clear.
Senior Brother Zhang Yi was a disciple of the previous session, and he had already broken through the barrier of skin refining and had been tempered for a long time in the bone refining stage.
Because of his good popularity, coupled with his family's businessmanship, the rest of the disciples' food and drink are usually purchased by him.
Although he didn't know why he was brought this time, Li Xun didn't dare to be careless, so he quickly took a shower with the cold water next to him, put on a layer of cotton clothes, and put on a practice uniform outside.
I hurried out.
Senior Brother Zhang was already waiting at the gate of the compound.
The gatekeeper has long been replaced by a new class of disciples.
This kind of thankless work, standing from morning to night, is only five copper coins.
Those who come to learn boxing basically have a little money at home, and they don't look down on this kind of work. In the end, it was just a matter of taking turns.
Master Zhou has always accepted apprentices, and as long as his strength meets the standard, he will be able to enter the inner door. But according to the order of entry, there will still be the title of senior brother.
Generally, the disciples who enter successively in half a year are called the same class.
Seeing that Senior Brother Zhang was about to go out, the disciple who was on guard hurriedly opened the door bolt.
"Senior Brother Zhang is going out to shop again!"
