Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Fortune in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 9 Human Affection and Warmth

There was silence all around the martial arts field.

Everyone's eyes all fell on Meng Li, except for some teenagers who couldn't tell the stakes who would show gloating expressions, most of the old people in the village who were familiar with Meng Li all looked regretful.

After living in Mengjia Village, which is already small, for 12 years, how can everyone not understand Meng Li's personality? Although he is so stubborn about worshipping for some reason, in other aspects, this child is really good and has nothing to say, and there are almost no people in the village who have not been helped by him. If he is cold by nature, no one will believe this kind of statement.

However, after all, Li Botao is a first-class martial artist with a noble status, and even if his evaluation is a little abnormal, no one refutes it. It is conceivable that after the news of this incident gets out today, Meng Li will inevitably be spurned by people who do not know the situation, and I am afraid that he will not be able to turn over in this life.

Meng Xi didn't know how much damage his impulsive move would bring to Meng Li, but even if he knew, he was afraid that he would still make such a choice.

With Li Botao's status, he naturally doesn't care about a teenager's future, not to mention that this teenager doesn't like him in the first place. Many people say that people who mix up too much of the rivers and lakes will become indifferent, this sentence is not unreasonable, Meng Li's life may be the same as a beggar begging on the street in Li Botao's eyes. Life is as cheap as paper, no different from cats and dogs.

"What do you see, I said you, are you still not convinced?" was stared at by Meng Li's resentful gaze, Li Botao was even more unhappy in his heart, raised his palm, and gently patted Meng Li's shoulder.

What kind of cultivation Li Botao is, six times forging his body, a first-class martial artist, even if he blows casually, it is definitely not something that Meng Li can withstand.

Receiving this palm, Meng Li immediately fell out, impartially, and landed outside the martial arts field.

Meng Li clutched his painful shoulders and stubbornly straightened up.

"My predecessors ruined my reputation today and cut off my future, this is a deep feud in the sea of blood, if I don't die, he will take revenge one day!"

Today's humiliation is not a crime of war, and if you want to blame him, he is too young to have the opportunity to learn martial arts. It's not that he has a strong confidence in his talent, he just wants to be able to learn martial arts and prove that he is not a waste in the other party's mouth. Moreover, if he has the identity of a martial artist, even if he is not the opponent of the other party, the other party will not dare to humiliate him easily.

Although Meng Li is only a young man in a small fishing village, and after reading the sage books for so many years, he has also cultivated a unique arrogance, how can it be easily kneaded?

"Okay, good!" Li Botao laughed angrily, pointed at Meng Li and said: "What a sharp-toothed young man, since you provoke me with words, then I will give you a chance, I was going to teach martial arts here for a year, but one year is too short, I am afraid that you will not be enough, so I simply extend it for another year, two years later, you come to challenge me, I lost, I apologize to you in public." ”

"Okay, we'll make up our minds!" Meng Li gritted his teeth and said. What he said was a bit angry, but for a six-forging martial artist, he was more in awe, but he was forced to this extent, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to be tough to the end.

Meng Li gritted his teeth and turned to leave, everyone looked at his back with indescribably complicated expressions.

After returning home, Meng Li was exhausted, and in addition to enduring the pain, he also had to endure the strange eyes of everyone along the way, which made him almost unbearable at a young age.

Mengjia Village is not big, and the news spreads quickly, it is foreseeable that when the night comes, every household will know what happened today, and for a long time, he will become a laughing stock in the village.

Lying on his humble wooden bed covered with gray sheets, Meng Li looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was really ignorant of the first-class martial artist who had challenged the six forging cultivation for two years!

The only ones who can challenge first-class martial artists are first-class martial artists. Meng Li is now just an ordinary person with no cultivation foundation, although it is the best age to learn martial arts, but two years is still too short, and what is even more ridiculous is that he doesn't know where to learn martial arts now.

Meng Li suddenly turned over and sat up, took out the wooden knife that he was not leaving, he stroked the wooden knife, and said with a wry smile: "Mother, the child seems to be in trouble again, but this time I don't complain about the child." ”

A twelve-year-old child, wronged, can only think of his parents, Meng Li saw things and thought about people, and his eyes gradually turned red.

Meng Li didn't cry, since his mother died, he cried for a day and a night, and after almost swollen his eyes, he secretly swore that he would be a man who stood up to the sky and the earth in the future, no matter what happened, he would not be discouraged or cry.

Putting the wooden knife at the head of the bed, Meng Li walked out of the bedroom and came to the study, Meng Li's home was not big, only a bedroom and a living room converted into a study, but after his parents left, it seemed a little empty.

In the study, there are six hand-made simple bookshelves that cover the walls, and on each of the shelves on this wall are two layers of books, one inside and one outside, densely packed and crowded. Meng Li walked to the innermost bookshelf and took out a small book from the inner layer, there were no words on the cover, but it had been yellowed, and after opening it, it was all hand-copied small characters.

These ink treasures, all of which are handwritten by his father, are excerpts from the peerless sentences of the classics, which not only have the truth of being a person, but also have an attitude towards setbacks. Meng Li held the book in both hands, starting from the first sentence, and read it carefully word by word. He reads very slowly, but he is very fast, and after reading a sentence, he is already immersed in the world of the book, and only at this time will he feel the presence of his father.

Although his father left him early, although he had some resentment in his heart, the things left by his father were excellent, after all, it was a deep affection for flesh and blood, and where could he complain about it?

Unconsciously, a book was read, and Meng Li, who closed the book again, only felt that his whole body was transparent, and his previous troubles were no longer a problem.

Put the book back in its place, go to the first bookshelf again, and take out the top one.

This one is thinner and older than the previous one, and the words "integrated knife method" are written on the cover in ancient characters, which looks quite old.

Throughout the ages, the collection of everyone's achievements, simplifying, this integrated knife method, is the Meng Li has been reading the knife law classics, yesterday's danger of the ground rolling knife method, is from this.

Thinking of yesterday, Meng Li couldn't help but boil with enthusiasm, that battle could be called the first battle in his life, the danger of the war, indescribable, if it weren't for the fact that he often observed this sword spectrum, he would have died on the spot in one round. It was also after yesterday's actual battle that Meng Li had a practical understanding of the knife techniques on this knife book beyond the words on paper, and now he has gained a lot from looking at it again.

"So it can be like this!"

Meng Li held the book in one hand and the wooden knife in the other, using the descriptions and pictures in the book to figure out a knife technique that he had never understood before. Hidden knife, this style should have been ordinary in his opinion before, and even the old man who bought vegetables could not threaten the knife, but now that he is looking at it, it actually has another deep meaning.

"Hidden deep but not leaky, no longer hidden, is the time of the outbreak, this style of pretending to hide the front, in fact, the momentum of the knife technique, when it is really wonderful, once it erupts, it will be like a mountain torrent, breaking the embankment for thousands of miles!"

Looking at the sword technique on the knife spectrum, Meng Li's face suddenly turned into endless sorrow, and he sighed: "Alas! It's a pity that I don't have the method of forging my body to cultivate, let alone cultivate my true qi, and I can't exert half a point of the power in this sword technique." ”

Stroking the page of pictures with knives waiting to be moved, Meng Li felt extremely sorry.

Before you know it, it was already dark, the village was gradually quiet, and the Meng villagers living here went home. Meng Li sat in the room, and could hear the excited chattering of the teenagers as they passed by the door, and he couldn't hear what he said, thinking that he had already learned the cultivation method, and couldn't help but start discussing with each other.

Just when he was about to be sad and alone in a daze, a shout suddenly came from outside the door.

"Brother Meng Li, are you at home?" The owner of the voice was a young girl, and it fell into her ears and was extremely gentle.

When Meng Li heard this, his spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly opened the door, standing outside the door was a slim girl, with Dai as her eyebrows, implying autumn water, although it has not fully grown, there is a trace of the youth that a peasant girl will have, but it is already a very standard beauty.

"Xiao Rou, why are you here?" Meng Li scratched his messy black hair, and there was a hint of shyness in his expression.

"Hmph, you're embarrassed to ask me!" Xiao Rou blinked her bright big eyes and long eyelashes, like a pair of talking elves, straight to the bottom of her heart.

Seeing her like this, how could Meng Li not remember why she came. embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I forgot about the daytime." ”

Meng Jiangxi called him to eat, Meng Li really forgot, what happened during the day, how could he be in the mood to eat?

The news of Mengjia Village spread really quickly, and in just one afternoon, even Meng Rou, who was staying at home, had heard about it. However, Meng Rou was a clever girl, and Meng Li pretended to know nothing in front of her, and said casually: "Forget it, it's not too late to think about it." ”

Meng Li smiled bitterly: "Why is it not too late, I was originally going to prepare some gifts to bring over, but now I don't have time." ”

Thinking of those wild fruits and mushrooms that he forgot in the mountains when he returned in a hurry, Meng Li secretly regretted that the reason why he went up the mountain to collect mountain goods was to deal with the situation in front of him.

The villagers of the Meng family are simple, especially the families who live near him, they take special care of him, since his mother left, he has been helped, like today's situation, it happens every few days, if Meng Li grew up eating a hundred family meals, then there is nothing wrong.

Meng Rouqiao's face was slightly red, and she was embarrassed: "What kind of gift, you and me...... Family, is that what you see?"

Meng Li, who didn't see his daughter's careful thinking at all, said very seriously: "It's not that I see the outside, I always eat and drink for nothing like this, I can't help but feel embarrassed." ”

"What's that!" Meng Rou pouted and said: "You also know the character of our family, I have never treated you as an outsider, especially my mother, who likes to cook for you the most, if you don't eat it, she won't be happy!"

Meng Li smiled bitterly, Meng Rou was right.

Aunt Liu's enthusiasm, he has a headache when he thinks about it!
