Chapter 22: Returning Home
Galloping all the way back to Guiyunzhuang.
"Nephew, I'm back. As soon as Lu Chengfeng walked into the living room, he said.
"You're back, Uncle Lu is okay?Guanying, are you okay?" Li Shucheng stood up and greeted.
"Good, good. Lu Chengfeng happily replied, "Your father has been here three times during this time, and it seems that he is still very concerned about you." ”
"Brother Shucheng, you're back!" Lu Guanying exclaimed happily.
"It's back. Li Shucheng smiled, "That's good! Guanying, your kung fu has improved again." ”
"Of course!" Lu Guanying said happily when he heard the compliment, "I'm not lazy at all. ”
"Well, it's because you're not lazy that you're making fast progress. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "In the future, before you practice in the morning, you can stand on the pile for a while." I have verified this, and it is very beneficial for practicing to stick to the pile for a long time. ”
"Do you still want to stand on the pile?" Lu Guanying said suspiciously, "The purpose of standing on the pile is to find the sense of qi, I have been practicing my internal skills for several years now, what are I still standing on?"
"Standing on the pile can regulate the body, and it can also better refine the essence and accelerate the cultivation of internal strength. Li Shucheng said, "Although there is not much effect at one time, if you persist for a long time, the effect will be obvious." ”
"Standing on the pile?" Lu Chengfeng thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's feasible." Although the effect cannot be seen in a short period of time, the effect is still obvious after long-term persistence and accumulation over the years. No one has done this before, either they didn't notice it, or they couldn't hold on and gave up. After all, standing on piles is a hard and boring thing. ”
"Well, that's what I thought too. Li Shucheng said, "According to my own experience, I can increase the progress by almost two-tenths." The effect is not very good, and it has to be hard. However, I am more concerned about the adjustment of the body. ”
"Guanying, from tomorrow onwards, you will also stand on the stake and try. Lu Chengfeng said to Lu Guanying with a smile, "Don't you want to catch up with your Shucheng brother as soon as possible? ”
"Uncle Lu, you can see it. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "It's also lucky, this time I met Qigong at the helm of the Xiangyang Beggar Gang, and I had to get his old man's guidance and break through by luck." ”
"You met the Northern Beggar, Hong Qigong, and got his guidance?" Lu Chengfeng said in surprise, "You are so lucky!"
"Actually, the Seventh Duke is very kind and likes to guide and promote the younger generations. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "And I helped them a little bit with the helm of Xiangyang." ”
After talking to Lu Chengfeng for a while, Li Shucheng and Lu Guanying went boating and fishing in Taihu Lake, and after playing for an afternoon, Li Shucheng set off for home.
"Yue'er, I'm back. Li Shucheng returned home and shouted.
"You're back!" As soon as Li Shucheng's words fell, Jiang Mingyue's voice came, and then a figure appeared in front of Li Shuchengcheng's eyes.
"Well, how is the family okay during this time?" asked Li Shucheng.
"Everything was fine at home. Two days ago, the beggars came with your letter, saying that you said that you would go to sea with them and that you were waiting for you to come back. Jiang Mingyue said with a smile.
"Well, this time I happened to meet their helper Qigong in Xiangyang, so I talked to his old man about it. Li Shucheng said.
"Have you seen Hong Qigong?" Jiang Mingyue asked in surprise. The nine-fingered beggar, that is, the northern beggar Hong Qigong, is the leader of the beggar gang, Li Shucheng has already told Jiang Mingyue. She originally thought that the cooperation with the beggar gang was only agreed between Li Shucheng and the people below the beggar gang, but she never expected it to be with Hong Qigong.
"Well, I also got his old man's guidance, and my martial arts have also taken a step forward. During this time, let's practice in pairs, and you will also accumulate some combat experience. But that's all for tomorrow. Li Shucheng smiled, hugged Jiang Mingyue over, and asked, "Did you miss me?"
"Am I so useless? It's only been a few days, what do you want to do. Jiang Mingyue let Li Shucheng hug her, her heart was sweet, but she said on her lips.
"Really?" Li Shucheng pretended to be sad, "Then you have to be punished." He lowered his head as he spoke.
The punishment that Li Shucheng said to Jiang Mingyue was very clear, and he hurriedly turned his head sideways to avoid Li Shucheng, and hurriedly said, "Fake." ”
"Fake?" Li Shucheng said, "then reward." ”
After a while, Li Shucheng let go, and Jiang Mingyue said angrily: "Is the reward the same?"
"Of course, what could be better than this reward?" Li Shucheng said with a smile and in a low voice, "Do you want to go to your room at night or do you come to my room?"
"Hooligans!"
"We're not hooligans. Li Shucheng corrected, "At most, it's just a little out of line." ”
"Ahem...... Boa is back. Just as the two of them were talking to each other, Li Chen coughed a few times and reminded him, and said.
"Mother, I'm back. Li Shucheng was reminded, let go of Jiang Mingyue and said.
"The two of you grew up together, unlike everyone else, who didn't see each other a few times before they got married. Li Chen said, "But what should be paid attention to is still to be paid attention to, before you get married, you will ...... in the yard."
Jiang Mingyue blushed when she heard this, and couldn't say anything, Li Shucheng was thick-skinned and said, "You are all paying attention, there is no one in the courtyard." ”
"Okay, come back and have a good night's rest, and go to Suzhou with your father tomorrow. Li Chen said. She had been listening to it for a while just now, and knew that what the beggars said about running Nanyang together was true.
"Let you do it, and you'll lose your face. After Li Chen left, Jiang Mingyue twisted Li Shucheng and said.
"Hiss!" Li Shucheng rubbed the place that had been twisted by Jiang Mingyue and said, "It's all my own family, how can I not be ashamed." ”
After taking a shower and resting for a while, it was time for dinner. "Bao'er, eat more, during this time outside, it's not like eating and drinking well at home, and you've lost weight. ”
"Actually, I'm not hungry outside, and sometimes I eat well. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "I have eaten a lot of delicious things along the way, and even some small towns have special dishes, for example, I ate a kind of herbal chicken in a small town, which has its own merits from what I made at home." Also, when I was in the beggar gang, I ate the snake soup they made a few times, and the taste was also a must, and it could be put in the restaurant to make a signature dish. Father, tomorrow I will go to the beggar gang and taste their snake soup, which is delicious and nourishing. ”
"Is it made of snakes?" said Li Chen, "can you eat this?"
"Of course you can eat it. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "Man is the spirit of all things, just a snake, what can't be eaten." ”
After dinner, Li Shucheng called Jiang Mingyue to his study, took out the fragment of the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and said, "I went out and harvested this this time, this is the "Nine Yin True Scripture" that I told you, but it's just a fragment, you can take a look at it first." There is another internal skill, which I am now copying. ”
Jiang Mingyue picked up a stack of papers handed over by Li Shucheng, glanced at it and said, "This is a woman's handwriting." Jiang Mingyue's meaning is self-evident. If Li Shucheng can't say one, two, three, he can't pass the test.
"A woman's handwriting, of course. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "This is the handwriting of the descendants of Lin Chaoying's predecessors who have been entangled with Chongyang real people all their lives." These fragments were engraved in the ancient tomb by Chongyang real people, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the ancient tomb, not to mention that I am still a man, so of course it is a woman's handwriting. ”
"Oh, it's the descendant of Senior Lin!" Jiang Mingyue said in surprise. Lin Chaoying is her idol. In the martial arts of the rivers and lakes for decades, Lin Chaoying is the only woman who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts. As a woman who learns martial arts, Jiang Mingyue certainly respects Lin Chaoying.
"Not only did I get this in the tomb, but I also recognized a sister. Li Shucheng said with a smile as he wrote.
"Sister, how old is it?" Jiang Mingyue asked vigilantly.
"Eleven or twelve-year-old sister, named Li Mochou. Li Shucheng said.
"Now eleven or twelve, and in a few years I will grow up. Jiang Mingyue said, "At that time, I don't know if it was my sister." ”
"What's not my sister?" Li Shucheng asked strangely, and then suddenly realized, "You mean...... Can I take a concubine?"
"Concubine? Jiang Mingyue said, "Die of this heart." ”
"I don't really have any thoughts about her. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "But let's relax a little bit about taking concubines." It's just a concubine, and there are not a few servants in the family, won't I marry you just right?"
"Is it to serve me or you?" Jiang Mingyue said, "Invite a few maids to serve the same, and you can serve better." ”
"You're boring. Li Shucheng sighed, "Let me imagine what it feels like to hug left and right?"
"It's better not to have this feeling. Jiang Mingyue said, "It is said that it is normal to take a concubine, but you see, my father did not take a concubine, and your father did not take a concubine." ”
"My father didn't take a concubine, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare. Li Shucheng said, "You said, it's just a concubine, if you don't let it, then you still want to think about it." If you take one or two and know what the hell is going on, maybe you won't think about it again. Could it be that there are dozens of concubines?"
"Not one. Jiang Mingyue said. In this regard, it must be strictly guarded, and if there is a gap, the man will have to take an inch. This is all what she learned from Li Chen.
"Why am I so miserable!" Li Shucheng said with a smile, "Don't say it, you take a closer look." ”
"I took a look at it, and the martial arts recorded on it are very useful to us. Jiang Mingyue said.
"Of course it's useful, what did I bring back if I didn't use it?" Li Shucheng said with a smile, "The Nine Yin True Scripture is a fragment, but the Nine Yang Divine Skill is complete. ”
"What Jiuyang Divine Skill?" Jiang Mingyue asked curiously. Li Shucheng hadn't introduced "Jiuyang Divine Skill" to her before.
""Jiuyang Divine Skill" is a martial arts secret book similar to "Nine Yin True Scripture". Li Shucheng said.
