On the morning of this day, Wu Hou, as usual, got up from bed early. A few days ago, he would be lazy and sleep until eight or nine o'clock, but in the past few days, he would get up at dawn every day and practice the luck method taught to him by Duanmu Shenjiu. The master told him that although his talent is not very good, diligence can make up for his clumsiness, as long as he is diligent enough, he can also become a generation of masters.

However, Wu Hou has no interest in the title of a generation master. His mind is very simple, so he rarely has troubles, practicing martial arts is to practice martial arts, not to become a master of any generation, for him, to be able to practice martial arts, and the more he practices, the more powerful it is, that is enough.

When grandma made breakfast, Wu Hou had just finished practicing, so he sat down at the dining table together with his grandfather, who came back from a walk, and the three of them began to eat. On the table, there is a plate of green vegetables, which my grandmother picked in the vegetable garden she planted at home, and a plate of fried small fish, which is left over from last night, a bowl of rice soup, and a multigrain steamed bun made by my grandmother herself in the frame. The simple breakfast is not difficult to reflect the simple life of the grandparents and grandparents in the mountains all year round.

Wu Hou was more attentive when eating, he secretly went to the kitchen, used a plastic bag, filled a few fried small fish, and packed a few multigrain steamed buns, ready to take them to the master. The master and his old man can't eat hot food every day, which makes Wu Hou always feel that it is not a taste.

"I'm done!" Wu Hou wiped his mouth after taking the last bite of rice soup.

Guo Xianda still chewed a mouthful of vegetables in his mouth, and said vaguely: "You kid, your appetite is getting better and better, and the two multigrain steamed buns are eaten so quickly." ”

"Hehe, I'm growing my body and eating a lot. Wu Hou planned to go out, and replied with a smile: "I went out to play." ”

Grandma said worriedly, "What are you doing when you run out every day and don't come back for lunch?"

Wu Hou scratched his head, thinking to himself why his grandmother suddenly asked like this? Although lying was his forte, when his grandmother asked about him, Wu Hou still didn't have the courage to lie to her. So he had no choice but to answer his grandmother with an unnatural expression: "I didn't do anything, just go to Uncle Fuzhang's house, play games with his son, or go to the river to fish." ”

"I know how to play, and I've never seen you do your homework. Grandma said helplessly.

Wu Hou laughed a few times, then secretly took out the plastic bag from the kitchen and trotted out all the way out of the door.

There were still two old people left at the dinner table, chewing and eating slowly, Wu Hou's grandmother didn't forget to babble a few words and said: "This kid is too playful and doesn't like to study, I don't think he can learn well when he stays at school." ”

Guo Xianda ate by himself, ignoring the old woman, thinking about other things. He was thinking that yesterday he went to patrol the mountains with Ge Dan, and met Li Fuzhang on the way.

So he swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns and told the old woman, "Wu Hou has never been to Li Fuzhang's house. ”

The old woman didn't hear clearly, and asked while picking up vegetables, "What did you say?"

"I said, Wu Hou has never been to Fuzhang's house, he lied to us. Guo Xianda told his wife about meeting Li Fuzhang yesterday.

After listening to what the old man said, the old woman said strangely: "Didn't you go to Fuzhang? Where did this kid go? Good fellow, he has learned to lie to us." ”

Guo Xianda didn't answer his wife, wiped his fingers on his clothes, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and continued: "Have you noticed that recently, we have been inexplicably throwing away some food at home?"

Hearing what Lao Guo said, the old woman frowned and recalled, and then replied: "When you say that, I have a little impression. The rabbit heads I made last time, the rest of them, I couldn't find them the next day, and I thought it was one of the two of you who ate them. ”

Guo Xianda laughed a few times, stood up with a cigarette in his mouth, and went out without answering his wife's words.

Wu Hou, who was walking on the mountain road, had a flexible figure and agile movements, jogging all the way forward, his hands still gesturing in front of him, practicing various movements. At first it took him an hour to get there, but now he can reach it in half an hour.

Wu Hou naturally knows the reason. Now he can already slightly feel the true qi in his body, gathered in the dantian, and some of it goes upward, and after passing through the sea of qi, it flows to the limbs and hundreds of remains. Duanmu Shenjiu told Wu Hou that True Qi can give full play to the use of the brain, as well as strengthen the functions of various parts of the body, and after years of cultivation, it can be released into the body to materialize, which inevitably makes Wu Hou yearn for it.

When he arrived at Pinghuang Mountain, Duanmu Shenjiu was still meditating, his eyes closed and he was bathed in the sun, and the air around him rippled, slowly flowing on the contours of his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wu Hou didn't bother the master, he gently called the white tiger, and gently touched the white tiger's head, the white tiger squinted, feeling Wu Hou's touch, maybe he felt very comfortable, and made a "huh" sound. Wu Hou fed a few steamed buns to the white tiger, the white tiger happily circled around Wu Hou, licking Wu Hou's face with his big tongue from time to time, Wu Hou did not dislike it, and played with the white tiger with a smile, and the two looked very intimate.

After a while of arguing with one person and one tiger, Duanmu Shenjiu opened his eyes. Wu Hou called out to the master, Duanmu Shenjiu nodded, and then Wu Hou gave the food to Duanmu Shenjiu, Duanmu Shenjiu naturally took it, put it in his mouth and began to chew. During this time, Wu Hou often brought some food to the master, although Duanmu Shen Jiufeng was used to sleeping in the open, but he also liked it very much if he could eat some cooked food. Especially Wu Hou's grandmother, she has superb cooking skills, and the food made by her hands is more fragrant than other people's.

Seeing that the master was eating with relish, Wu Hou said a little embarrassed: "Master, the apprentice won't be able to bring you food after a while." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu, who was eating delicious food, glanced at Wu Hou and asked, "Why?"

Wu Hou replied: "I'm about to start school, and I'm going back to school in the city." ”

"Hmm. Duanmu Shenjiu said while eating: "Studying is important, it's important, let's go." ”

Wu Hou's mood was a little depressed, and he didn't look very happy. He said: "In that case, you won't be able to see the master and the white tiger every day..."After getting along for more than a month, Wu Hou and Duanmu Shenjiu and the white tiger gradually established a deep relationship, and it was really a little reluctant to leave suddenly.

Duanmu Shenjiu listened to Wu Hou's words, wiped his mouth and said, "Then what's the matter, you just need to remember what the teacher taught you and practice diligently." ”

"Okay. Wu Hou said depressedly: "Won't you be bored if I'm not there?"

"Haha. Duanmu Shenjiu smiled heartily and said, "It's just meditation, it's not difficult, how can it be boring." There are landscapes everywhere between heaven and earth, and the sun, moon and stars, flowers and trees in the mountains, birds, birds, beasts and insects in the forest can all be companions. ”

Wu Hou rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, how can you, a fairy-like character, be in such a reasonable way, I am not in such a good state of mind as you. Thinking like this in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it, so they were silent for a while.

After a while, Duanmu Shenjiu spoke first, and he said, "When you go back, do the teacher a favor." ”

When Wu Hou heard this, he was curious in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, is there anything he can do to help the master?

So he asked, "What can I do for you?"

"Help me find a painting for the teacher. Duanmu Shenjiu replied: "A picture of a beauty, in the box under my sarcophagus, I didn't find it when I came out that day, I knew that it was stolen by the tomb robber, and when you get out of this mountain, help find the teacher in the outside world." ”

"Oh. Wu Hou then remembered that when he first met the master in the stone room, he pulled out a box under the sarcophagus, which was empty, and the master muttered a few words at that time. But the outside world is so big, and what Wu Hou lives in is only a small city between the mountains, just a painting, where to find it, not to mention the small city he lives in, even the entire province, and he may not be able to find it. It's just that Wu Hou was afraid of hurting the master's heart, so he only thought about these words in his heart and didn't say them.

After sitting on the top of the mountain for a while, Wu Hou began the race against the White Tiger, and the two of them, as usual, set out from the top of the mountain, and then turned back after reaching the foot of the mountain, and so on twenty times.

In the usual games, it was the White Tigers who took the lead every time. At the beginning, after the White Tiger ran back and forth twenty times, Wu Hou only went back and forth seven times, and then a few days, when the White Tiger ran back and forth twenty times, Wu Hou went back and forth twelve times, and after a few days passed, the White Tiger could only lead Wu Hou two times back and forth.

Wu Hou's progress is very fast, although the progress is not much, but fortunately, he has grown every day, and in the competition a few days ago, he has been able to run back and forth with the White Tiger in the same one. And the White Tiger is only a few hundred meters faster than Wu Hou.

In today's game, Wu Hou was full of confidence, and he felt that this time, he would definitely be able to leave the White Tiger behind. In the competition again and again, Wu Hou gradually accumulated experience, and his physical strength became more and more durable, and now he has been able to perform a simple "light skill" and jump a distance of more than ten meters. If you borrow strength from a tree, you can jump up to tens of meters with the favorable terrain on the mountain.

After the two started from the mountain, the white tiger still jumped down as usual, the speed was like an arrow from the string, and the huge body rose and fell in the mountains and forests, and reached the foot of the mountain in a while. Wu Hou in the back was not to be outdone, followed by him, he used his hands and feet together, after stepping on a big rock, his legs bent and accumulated, and he jumped forward dozens of meters, looking like a tiger and a tiger, and the momentum was extremely strong.

When the two were on the nineteenth round at the same time, Wu Hou decided to sprint, so he jumped down on the top of the mountain, his body was close to the mountain wall, and jumped down. This scene startled Duanmu Shenjiu, so frightened that he hurried to the edge of the cliff and looked down at Wu Hou, but then he pursed his lips and laughed again.

Wu Hou in mid-air, when the falling speed is too fast, his feet step on the stone wall to buffer the force, and then continue to let his body fall in a free fall shape, and then borrow the stone wall to reduce the speed of his own fall to a certain extent, so he cycles the action of Mali, and reaches the foot of the mountain one step before the white tiger. Then he ran a distance at the foot of the mountain, and then grabbed the small rocks protruding from the mountain wall with both hands, and climbed to the top of the mountain in an amazing scene.

After repeating the last round and forth like this, Wu Hou completed one step ahead of the White Tiger, and Wu Hou won the game. He stood at the top of the mountain, looked at the white tiger who was still halfway up the mountain, and laughed happily.

Duanmu Shenjiu behind him recognized Wu Hou's performance very much, but he did not praise Wu Hou, but said: "You have only won half a round with all your strength, and you are close to collapse." But the white tiger is different, he still has spare strength, if you are facing a great enemy of life and death, judging from the current situation, it is easy for others to kill you. ”

The dissatisfied Wu Hou pursed his lips, thinking that if you don't praise me for a few words, it's really unreasonable to say something to hurt me.

Duanmu Shenjiu knew what Wu Hou was thinking, and then said, "You must remember it in the future. ”

"Oh, got it. Wu Hou replied.

In the last few days of the summer vacation, Wu Hou tried with the White Tiger a few times, this time Wu Hou remembered Duanmu Shenjiu's words, and left himself some strength, although it was still a narrow victory, but at the end of the game, Wu Hou could already blush and breathless.

In the end, when Wu Hou left the mountain, he brought a lot of food to Duanmu Shenjiu at one time, but most of them were rice steamed buns, but there was very little meat. After all, it's summer, the weather is too hot, there is too much meat to eat, and it will stink after a few days. Duanmu Shenjiu looked at Wu Hou with a pleased face, thinking that this apprentice would not lose anything.

Before leaving, he went to the mountain for the last time, Duanmu Shenjiu taught Wu Hou a set of boxing techniques, and told him to fight every morning and evening after luck. Wu Hou didn't ask much, he just knew that what the master said was right, and he just did it. After saying goodbye to his master, he hugged the white tiger again, and the white tiger knew that Wu Hou was leaving, so he was very reluctant, and kept wrapping his big tail around Wu Hou's legs, making Wu Hou cry and laugh.

In the end, Wu Hou coaxed Baihu and said: "Just a few months, when this semester is over and the winter vacation is over, I will come to the mountains to accompany you, good." Only then did the white tiger let go of Wu Hou and let him leave.

My grandparents are also very reluctant, but there is no way, the children have to go to school, and they can't always accompany the two old people in the mountains. Wu Hou is also very reluctant to his grandparents and grandmothers, although he is in the mountains, he is not by the side of the second elder all the time, but he can meet every day. When I leave, I can't see each other for a long time, and it's not a taste in my heart to think about it.

Wu Hou wanted his grandparents to go to live in the city with him, but the two old men were used to the days in the mountains and were reluctant to go out, saying that they might close their eyes one day, but they couldn't die outside. These words were like a needle and gently pierced Wu Hou's heart.

In this way, after the end of this summer vacation, the teenager Wu Hou returned to the city and started the life of the new semester.

The bones of the body have become stronger, and the academic performance has to become stronger, Wu Hou thought in his heart in the new semester.
