Zhang Pestle took Zhang Ran to a courtyard house, which was Zhang Kuan's home.

Zhang Ran has seen other houses in the outer city along the way, Zhang Kuan's home is still good, and it also belongs to the mid-range level in the outer city.

Zhang was about to knock on the door, and the door was opened, and it was a woman in her thirties, holding a basket in her left hand, as if she was going out.

The woman was also stunned when she saw Zhang Pestle, and then said, "Isn't this Brother Zhang Pestle, why did you come thousands of miles away." ”

Zhang Pestle said: "Sister-in-law, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, this time I have something to ask Brother Zhang Kuan to come." ”

Li said: "If you don't want anything, come in quickly." ”

Zhang Pestle and Zhang Ran walked in, inside was a courtyard, there was a house in the far north, two houses in the east, and a house in the west, which was emitting light cooking smoke, it should be the kitchen, and on the left side of the south was a vegetable field with freshly sprouted vegetables planted, and on the right was the door where they came in.

Entering the house on the north side, this is the living room for the guests, entering here, Zhang Ran saw that the living room only occupies the middle position of the house on the north side, and there is a door on the left and right sides, which should be two rooms.

Zhang Pestle and Zhang Ran sat down, Li poured two cups of tea for him, and then said, "This child is..."

Li is a little strange, Zhang Pestle come on, why do you still bring a child, and this child also has a knife hanging from his waist and a gun behind his back, is this child also practicing martial arts, but this age is too young.

Zhang Pestle said: "Zhang Ran is my nephew, he is very talented in martial arts and literature, and he came to Qiantang County this time to send him to study. ”

Li said: "You came to Kuanlang, and you came for him." ”

Zhang Pestle said: "My sister-in-law is smart, I can see at a glance, my nephew came to study, but there is no place to stay, I want him to live here for a few years here, and when he grows up, he will move out." ”

Li said: "So that's the case, I can't be the master of this, I have to wait for Kuanlang to come, I will talk to him, and then give you an answer." ”

Li didn't agree immediately, after all, he was just a woman and couldn't be the head of the house.

Zhang Pestle said; "Then wait for Brother Zhang Kuan to come back."

Li Shi saw Zhang Die'er hiding behind the door, poked his head out and looked outside, and said, "Die'er, you came out to see your Uncle Zhang." ”

A beautiful little girl walked out timidly from the door, looking at Zhang Ran with a pair of bright eyes, it was obvious that Zhang Ran's dress made him curious, which was much more interesting than his brother's dress, after all, his brother was also a martial artist.

Zhang Die'er said, "Uncle Zhang." ”

Li Shi looked at Zhang Ran, Zhang Pestle understood what Li meant, and said, "His name is Zhang Ran." ”

Li said: "It's called Brother Ran." ”

Zhang Die'er didn't call immediately, but asked, "How old are you?" ”

Zhang Ran said: "I am seven years old. ”

Zhang Die'er said: "Sister, I'm nine years old. ”

Li said: "Die'er, unreasonable. ”

Zhang Die'er pouted and said, "I'm older than him." ”

Li wanted to say more, but Li Pestle said: "Zhang Die'er is older than him, Zhang Ran calls him sister." ”

Zhang Ran said helplessly: "Sister." ”

Zhang Die'er squinted and smiled: "Hey." ”

Zhang Pestle and Li Shi were happy to see these two little guys like this.

Li said: "You haven't eaten yet, I'll go out to buy vegetables and cook a good meal for you." ”

Zhang Pestle said: "I haven't eaten the food cooked by my sister-in-law for a long time, and I finally want to taste it, so I accompanied my sister-in-law to buy vegetables." ”

Li said: "You don't have to go if you are a guest, I can go by myself." ”

Zhang Pestle said: "Don't be polite to me. As she spoke, she picked up the basket on the table and went out, and Li followed suitably and went out, she couldn't let Zhang Pestle buy vegetables.

After going out, two voices were heard.

"Zhang Ran, I'll go out first, you stay here."

"Die'er, you accompany Brother Zhang Ran to have a good time, and come back to make you something to eat."

At this time, Zhang Ran and Zhang Die'er were left in the room, Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Die'er, Zhang Die'er looked at him with a smile, Zhang Ran was a little uncomfortable and said, "What are you looking at me for." ”

Zhang Die'er said: "Why, I can't look at you." ”

Zhang Ran sat on the chair, picked up the tomb robbery notes from his arms and looked at them, Zhang Die'er saw Zhang Ran's attitude, and suddenly couldn't bear it, and said: "What are you coming to Qiantang County to study, see you are holding a knife and a gun, are you seeking martial arts?" ”

Zhang Ran said: "Seeking martial arts, but also seeking literature." ”

Zhang Die'er said: "I understand asking for martial arts, after all, you are holding a weapon, and you are practicing martial arts at a glance, but what are you doing when you ask for literature, do you want to be an official?" ”

Zhang Ran said: "Asking for literature is a request given to me by my father, otherwise my father will not let me learn martial arts." ”

Then Zhang Die'er and Zhang Ran talked, which made Zhang Ran very impatient, because Zhang Die'er was too curious, and kept asking strange questions, which made Zhang Ran a little at a loss.

I thought Zhang Dieer was a cute little girl, but this is simply a little witch.

Just when Zhang Die'er kept asking, when Zhang Ran was helpless to answer, a shouting voice came: "Mother, I'm back." ”

Zhang Die'er said happily: "My brother is back." With that, he ran out.

Zhang Ran also put away the tomb robbery notes and walked outside, it must be Zhang Kuan's son Zhang Rongming who is back, he can't sit still, he wants to go out to meet.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw Zhang Rongming and Zhang Die'er coming together, Zhang Die'er was chattering to Zhang Rongming, and I could faintly hear what she said, talking about the arrival of Zhang Pestle and Zhang Ran.

Zhang Rongming was wearing a white power suit, with a dignified appearance, holding a long sword with a sheath in his hand, looking like a young man in white.

Zhang Rongming saw Zhang Ran, although he heard what his sister Zhang Dieer said, but when he saw Zhang Ran with his own eyes, he was shocked to come to study alone at such a young age.

Zhang Rongming said: "This is Zhang Ran's younger brother, it's a big deal for my brother." ”

Zhang Ranwen said crepe: "Brother Rong Ming has overpassed. ”

Zhang Rongming noticed Zhang Ran's dress as a martial artist at this time, and said: "Zhang Ran's younger brother is also a martial arts practitioner, it just so happens that my brother is also learning martial arts in the martial arts hall, so it is better to learn from each other." ”

Zhang Rongming wanted to try Zhang Ran's ingredients and see how Zhang Ran's martial arts were, of course, it wasn't that he looked down on Zhang Ran, it was that Zhang Ran was too young, even if he had some force, how could he compare to him, so Zhang Rongming thought that his strength was higher than Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran said: "Then Brother Rong Ming is invited." ”

Zhang Rongming said: "Our brothers don't need weapons to fight, let's fight empty-handed, so as not to hurt people." ”

Zhang Ran said: "I will not fight empty-handed, I will only use weapons. ”

The reason why Zhang Ran knows martial arts is because he is proficient in one-handed weapons, and how to use martial arts without weapons.

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Rongming looked down on Zhang Ran a few points, Zhang Ran must be inferior to himself empty-handed, so he took a weapon to fight with himself, Zhang Rongming said: "Then you use weapons, I will live a few tricks with you empty-handed." ”

Zhang Rongming and Zhang Ran came to the courtyard, Zhang Rongming put on a crane fist posture, and Zhang Ran pulled out the knife.

"Excuse me." Zhang Rongming was like a white crane in the sky, killing it.

Zhang Ran picked up the Xuantie Treasure Knife and swept away with a single sword.

Zhang Rongming's left hand was like a crane's beak, pecking heavily at the attacking knife, when it pecked at the knife, the knife body shook, Zhang Rongming was forced to take a step back, he didn't expect Zhang Ran's knife to be so powerful, and then used the white crane of the crane fist to show his wings, and his hands were like two sharp blades, interspersed with Zhang Ran's shoulders.

But at this time, Zhang Ran slashed Huashan with a move, and directly slashed his hands, and suddenly Zhang Rongming's hands were numb, and when his hands drooped down, Zhang Ran stabbed horizontally, and the tip of the knife pointed to Zhang Rongming's Adam's apple.

Zhang Rongming was defeated, and he was defeated in three moves, Zhang Rongming was a little distracted.

Originally, Zhang Rongming thought that Zhang Ran was not as good as himself to use weapons, but it seemed that he thought too much, it should be that Zhang Ran did not have good martial arts with empty hands, and he had good martial arts with knife skills, so he could only use knife skills to deal with it.

Zhang Die'er ran over happily and said, "Brother Zhang Ran, you are so interested, you defeated my brother, and you defeated it so quickly." ”

In Zhang Die'er's heart, there are two people who are the most at stake, one is his father and the other is his brother, they both practice martial arts, and now his brother has been defeated.

Then Zhang Die'er touched Zhang Ran's body east and west, as if she could see why Zhang Ran was so interested.

Zhang Rongming said: "I understand why you came to Qiantang County to study, you have such good martial arts at such a young age, if you don't come, you will waste such a good talent, but I have a doubt, why are you still carrying a gun behind your back, do you still practice guns?" ”

Zhang Ran said: "Yes, because Hulu Village is too small, I can only practice guns and knives, so the sword and gun practitioners, because weapons will be used in the fight, so I bring knives and guns to my body." ”

Zhang Ran's sentence superficially meant that he was talking about knives and guns, but in fact, he was saying that his empty-handed strength was not good, so he used weapons.

Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Zhang Rongming almost vomited blood in anger, what gourd village only has knives and guns, so you are a fellow practitioner of swords and guns, what are these words, don't you know that if you practice martial arts, you will practice one, such as practicing boxing, practicing knives, practicing swords, practicing swords, martial arts only practice the same martial arts, I have never heard of practicing several different martial arts at the same time.

Except for some people who don't know martial arts, can it be that Zhang Ran is such a martial artist, I don't know that if you practice the same martial arts, you can cultivate your intentions, for example, your fist can cultivate your fist intent, your sword can cultivate your sword intent, and your sword can cultivate your sword intent.

The more I thought about Zhang Ran, the more it was, because Hulu Village was just a poor village, what powerful martial artists could there be, and suddenly Zhang Rongming sympathized with Zhang Ran, if Zhang Ran knew that he only cultivated one kind, maybe he was about to cultivate now, and even had already cultivated his intentions.

Zhang Rongming said sympathetically: "Have you said where to learn martial arts, do you want to go to the Shenwei Martial Arts Hall where I am, with your talent, you are at least a formal disciple, and you will not be a so-called outer disciple." ”

Zhang Rongming wanted to invite Zhang Ran into the martial arts hall for formal teaching, so that Zhang Ran's talent would not be wasted.

Zhang Ran said: "I have already said that I will go to the Five Tigers Martial Arts Hall, I'm sorry." ”

Zhang Rongming said: "The Five Tiger Martial Arts Hall is also good, its status is the same as that of the Shenwei Martial Arts Hall, and it is one of the three major martial arts halls. ”

Zhang Rongming no longer invited Zhang Ran, but talked about martial arts with Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran has only learned martial arts for a short time, and he doesn't know much about martial arts knowledge, so when he talks to Zhang Rongming, most of them are asking for advice.

Zhang Ran's lack of martial arts knowledge made Zhang Rongming find some confidence, after all, Zhang Rongming has studied martial arts for six years, his foundation is very strong, and his foundation is very good, this is the number of martial arts cultivation roads in the main sect, and although the three major martial arts halls in Qiantang County are not big forces in Daming, they still have status in Qiantang County, and the disciples cultivated by the martial arts halls are all cultivated according to the disciples of those big forces.

At the same time, Zhang Rongming's guess is correct. Sure enough, he was born in a small place like Hulu Village, and Zhang Ran knew very little about martial arts, so he cultivated wrongly.
