Chapter 3 Life is Hard

This time, Shi Senqing walked out of the house and first walked in the direction of Ge Wendian at the head of the village, then took a detour, walked into the alley and went around again, and walked into another small alley, that is, outside his own east house.

Shi Senqing listened clearly to the conversation between his father and Cheng Xin through the wall.

Shi Senqing, who was only six years old, was thinking about things that did not match his age, and on the way back, he had already made up all the reasons why he wanted to change a bowl for so long.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I heard my father's majestic and caring voice: "Sen'er, why did you change the bowl for so long, it's dark today."

"I was wrong, father, Sen'er was playing a little bit on the road, so he came back a little late. Shi Senqing lowered his head and said weakly in a childish voice.

Shi Tongtang nodded, "It's good to come back, but don't be greedy anymore." “

"Sen'er, you're almost seven years old, it's time to send you to learn some martial arts, you have to restrain your playfulness, don't let down my hard work for you"

Shi Senqing raised his head and opened a pair of clean eyes, "I know my father, when I arrive at the martial arts academy, I will definitely practice martial arts seriously and live up to my father's expectations for me."

"Well, I don't worry about you if you can say that, come and eat in the house."

Shi Mori ran happily to the house, not seeing the seriousness just now. When he entered the house, he saw his mother's gentle smile, and Shi Senqing's heart became warmer, and he sat on a small chair specially prepared for himself, and sat quietly on the chair, waiting for his father to eat his first meal.

Shi Tongtang looked at Sen'er, the fatigue over the years seemed to have gone a lot, his spirit was full again, his perennially tense face was also loosened, and he strode towards the house.

The dinner for a family of three was very simple, with a small plate of wild grass roots, a bowl of soup with a few rice grains, and three dumplings kneaded with wild grass and paste.

After the meal, Yu Hongyu made a pot of tea with the few tea leaves stored at home, and poured it in front of Shi Tongtang. sat opposite Shi Tongtang and drank the tonic he bought.

Shi Senqing came over and took Yu Hongyu's hand: "Mother, I want to find Zhao Tiedan"

"What are you going to do with him, didn't I just tell you to restrain your playfulness?" Shi Tongtang said

"Dad, you did say this, but what I said was that I would study seriously when I entered the martial arts academy, and it wasn't this time, so let me go and find him, if I went to the academy, I wouldn't be able to see him easily" Shi Senqing said with a smile and flattery

"No, everything must start from the beginning, you have to start doing it, otherwise after your habit is formed, you won't be able to change!" Shi Tongtang said undoubtedly

"Ahh Shi Senqing looked disappointed, looked at his mother beggingly, and then looked at his father, looking aggrieved, as if he was about to cry.

After all, the mother was soft-hearted and couldn't stand the begging of the young Shi Senqing. Said to Shi Tongtang, "Sen'er is still young after all, not yet seven years old, childlike innocence, besides, I really don't know when I will come back to the martial arts academy, so let him play with Tie Dan." ”

Shi Tongtang's face did not change, and he was still serious, "No, once there will be a second time, and there will be a third time, one after another, and in the end, Sen'er will be ruined, and I am also for his good." ”

Yu Hongyu couldn't help it, so she could only glance at Sen'er gently, and then glanced at Shi Tongtang. Shi Senqing immediately understood.

Standing next to his father, the three fingers of his right hand soared to the sky and said seriously: "I, Shi Senqing, swear, this is the last time I will go to find Zhao Tiedan, and I will definitely practice martial arts seriously in the martial arts academy in the future, and I will never be greedy for fun!"

After speaking, a pair of clear eyes were fixed on Shi Tongtang's face, waiting for his father's change.

stared at it for a long time, but there was no change. The disappointment on Shi Senqing's face was thick, and he simply put down his hand and did it in front of the window where he was sitting before, with his head on his hand, his eyes looking outside, and seeing the rain on the ground again.

Yu Hongyu drank the decoction, got up and went to wash the dishes, and glanced at Shi Tongtang complainingly before leaving. Shi Tongtang was unmoved, quietly drinking the bitter tea his wife made for himself, and looked at his wife's back with pity.

Shi Tongtang is in his thirties this year, but he looks like a person in his fifties, his wife is in her thirties, but her health is not good, and her family background is not good, so she can't buy some rouge and color powder for women, which causes her wife to be like a ten-year-old woman.

Shi Tongtang quietly drank tea, thought of this, got up and walked into the kitchen, hugged Yu Hongyu behind his back and said softly: "You have suffered all these years, wait for a while for you and Sen'er to live a good life, I will go to Gewen Shop to see if there is any work, you can't wait for me to come back before dinner, you can eat first, don't wait for me." ”

"I know, you don't have to be too tired, our family depends on you to support the family alone, you must pay attention to safety"

"Why don't you teach Sen'er personally, isn't it better for you to teach it yourself than that Wuxing Township?"

"Hey, I also want to teach it personally, but now I need to work to earn a family, and the atmosphere of the martial arts academy is the best, strict, I can't keep an eye on Sen'er all the time, I can only wait for him to learn the exercises of our family after he finishes learning in the future, I believe that the martial arts academy can be laid well, otherwise I can't get out of the master of the condensation realm, as long as Sen'er has a good foundation, I just need to see our family's exercises in learning." “

"Okay, you've already arranged it, I won't bother, don't be too tired, otherwise I'll feel distressed" Yu Hongyu said distressedly.

"Okay, I see, have you ever thought about asking for something? something that you women like. ”

"Things that women like" Yu Hongyu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then dimmed.

"Forget it, our family has only this little thing, it's not enough to pay off the debt, how can we buy those things"

"You just said that if our family has the conditions, what do you want the most?"

"What I want the most, of course, is that our family is good, nothing big happens, no one gets sick, and then it will be good to watch Sen'er marry a wife and have children," Yu Hongyu said expectantly.

"Hey, of course, our family will have a good life in the future, and when the time comes, we will let you live like that and ensure that the family is comfortable" Shi Tongtang smiled and said with anticipation.

"Well, that's great, I wish it could be like that, like I was five years ago and I'm satisfied"

"Also, don't use force anymore, otherwise, like last time in Xixing Town, every family respects us, and there is no sense of equality at all, what is the point of such a seclusion" Yu Hongyu said solemnly.

"Okay, I know, you haven't seen it for so long since you moved here this time, haven't others found out, don't worry"

"Hey, that kind of feeling that everyone looks down and calls themselves Mrs. when they meet, it's still in the village, and they see the villagers every once in a while, that feeling is too weird, I don't want to feel like that" Yu Hongyu's face was weird, remembering the previous situation.

"Well, I promise it won't, it's not too early, I'll go to work first" Shi Tongtang raised his eyebrows, cast a reassuring look, turned around and left.

Before leaving, Shi Tongtang threw Shi Senqing a book that was not very old or very new for him to see, then took his coat and turned his head and went out.

Shi Senqing looked at this "Tiger Body Fist" and was silent.

Although Shi Senqing's family is poor, his parents can read, so he has taught Shi Senqing to read since he was a child.

Most of the villagers still can't read, and there is not even a school nearby. If the surrounding villagers know that there is a martial arts book, the surrounding villagers will definitely flock to it, and if they ask for a look, they will definitely be guessed by those who have a heart, and their identities will be exposed at that time.

A book of martial arts exercises, any child will take a very serious look at it, whether they know how to read or not, they want to see something from the martial arts book.

Children will know from birth that martial arts people are very powerful and can protect the village and protect the homeland.

So the children fantasized that they would become a great hero, defeat the bandits, save the village from fire and water, and then the whole village would bow and worship.

If you let the children in the village know about such a book, whether they know how to read or not, they will definitely read it. It is very rare for people in the village to have such a book of martial arts exercises.

It is the Martial Arts Township, and together it is a total of four exercises, three for the forging body realm, and one for the condensing qi realm.

The requirements for going to Wuxing Township are extremely strict, the youngest is seven years old and the oldest is twenty-two years old to come to Wuxing Township to practice martial arts. No matter how big it is, there are many impurities in the body, and it is not good to practice martial arts.

"Tiger Body Fist" is now in front of Shi Senqing, but Shi Senqing just can't arouse any interest.

Ishimori likes to read the books stored in his father's study, and since he was five years old, he usually doesn't go out to play, but stays at home to read.

Life at home was also good at that time, Shi Tongtang occasionally went out to work, and his mother had to look at the young Shi Senqing, Shi Senqing was in the room staring at the book with clean eyes, and his mother was quiet, worry-free, and happily sat together to read.

It may be a habit I developed at that time, and I like to read many stories and beautiful scenery introduced in books. I look forward to seeing that one day.

After learning that it was a martial arts book, Shi Senqing was in no mood to watch it, and felt that it was also boring and did not match his own mind.

But it was set by my father, and I opened it and looked at it roughly: tiger body boxing, fast shot, like a tiger out of the mountain, vigorous and fast, different people, different body types can also have different effects, but they are all to improve the flexibility of the shot......

I looked at the introduction casually, but I didn't have the heart to read it, so I closed the book and stared at the window in a daze.

Dusk comes, the white clouds become as bright as fire, and the autumn afternoon gradually cools, neither hot nor cold, and the human body is the most comfortable.

Shi Sen quietly looked at the red clouds after the rain, and Yu Hongyu's body also relaxed, and slowly stepped on the wet soil to cook.

Shi Senqing stared at the red clouds, thinking of some interesting things in his mind, and thought of the clouds as a large burning flame that wanted to melt the world. The world will not resist in the slightest, maybe the sea written in the book can extinguish that fire.

The weather is pleasant, and the birds and dogs around are barking, and Ishimori Kiyoshi likes this moment the most, so you can let go and devote yourself to nature and feel more different feelings.

It was getting dark, and the house was getting darker, and Shi Senqing was still looking out the window, not knowing what he was thinking, until his mother called him to eat.

"Sen'er, come to dinner, don't wait for your father"

"It's coming"

Dinner is the same as lunch.

After eating, Shi Senqing walked out of the house, bored at the door of his house, and after a while, he went back to help his mother wash the dishes.

There was nothing to do at night, and when Shi Senqing and his mother were asleep, Shi Tongtang came back and brought back a bag and a handful of wild vegetables.

The family returned safely, so the family went to sleep peacefully.

Shi Senqing began to have a dream since he was a child, in the dream the sky and the earth were dark, the rain was pouring, the thunder was like rain, and a vague figure stood in a majestic hall, in front of which there was a pile of black and unknown things, and a black, white and red jade block was placed in the hand of another figure.

Suddenly, a huge starlight collapsed from the sky, and then nothing was to be seen.

Then Shi Senqing opened his eyes indifferently, got up and walked out of the room silently, looking up at the bright moon hanging in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shi Senqing seemed to be born with it, sitting on the grinding plate and staring at the moon with his eyes fixed, not knowing what he was muttering.

If you look at it from the sidelines, you can see a little white light spilling into Shi Senqing's eyes.

From Ishimori's point of view, the moon is still the same moon, there is no change, and no white light enters the eyes.

In fact, Shi Senqing didn't know all this, because he didn't wake up at all, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was sleepwalking!
