Chapter 4 One Month
"Master Liu Zhai, I'll comprehend these tricks now, I think you should know it, right? Huang Xiao said.
"No hurry, no hurry. Liu Qiang replied, paused, and then sighed, "To be honest, this "Snake Stalker" is not very helpful to me. ”
"Huh?" Huang Xiao was a little puzzled.
"Don't be surprised, this "Snake Stalker" focuses on skills and not gravity, which is not the same path as what I learned, but it is a little difficult to learn "Snake Stalker". Liu Qiang said.
"Maybe there are some moves that can be made later?" Huang Xiao asked.
"Actually, after discussing with you yesterday, I have a general understanding of "Snake Stalker" in my heart, which is really not suitable for me to practice, but I didn't expect the exercises I finally got to be like this, it is really providential. However, people can't be too greedy, and borrowing from this exercise can make my strength go further. Liu Qiang said with emotion, "Brother Huang, you also mentioned before that you have sold all your family property and fields, right?"
Huang Xiao nodded, he had talked to Liu Qiang about this before.
"Then I have an idea, why don't you stay?" asked Liu Qiang.
Hearing Liu Qiang's words, Huang Xiao hesitated, if he had refused directly, but now he also understands that in fact, Liu Qiang and they are not real robbers and bandits, but also ordinary people, but they were forced to have no way to live by those land lords, so they came to this mountain and were no longer exploited by those people.
"Of course, I can't ask you for anything, but if you practice this "Snake Stalker", you should still have achievements. Maybe in a few years or decades, you'll be better than me. You must know that there are still so many old and weak women and children in this village, and there are not a few people who practice martial arts to support them, not to mention those thugs raised by landlords, and other bandits and robbers in the mountains can also take their lives. Liu Qiang said.
"Of course, you are a talent after all, you didn't pass the exam this time, you can still take the exam again in the future, besides, even if you go back to your hometown now, you have no place to live, it is better to stay in the cottage. If you can teach children to read and write while practicing, don't say anything to test your fame, it's better to know a few words than to be blind to us?" Liu Qiang smiled and continued.
Huang Xiao thought for a moment, then nodded. Liu Qiang is right, what can he do when he goes back now? He doesn't know anything, if he is lucky, he may find some teaching work, teach people to read and write, after all, he is also a talent. Now that he has come into contact with this martial art, he has another goal in mind.
After seeing Huang Xiao nodding, Liu Qiang smiled and said: "This is great, if there is a champion in our village, it will be even more amazing." ”
"Champion Gong, Master Liu Zhai, don't scorn me, I didn't even get in. Huang Xiao shook his head with a wry smile and said.
"It's a matter of people, this failure is nothing, and ah, if you practice this "Snake Stalker" well, then you can be regarded as a good hand, and when you fall, you will be both civil and military. Liu Qiang said with a smile.
"Don't believe it, just rely on this "Snake Stalker" exercise, practice to the depths, even if you make your own sect, you can do it. There are so many sects in the world today, and there are very few exercises that can be circulated. Liu Qiang saw that Huang Xiao still looked a little unconvinced, so he continued.
"Then bother Master Liu, I don't know much about labor, but it's no problem to teach the children in the village to read and write, so this should be the cost of my food and accommodation here, right?" asked Huang Xiao.
"Where, how much can you eat alone, but I still have to thank you for the children. And don't call me the owner of the village, if you don't mind, just call me Brother Liu. "Liu Qiang is sincerely grateful this time. In these years, it's okay to practice martial arts, and many people have practiced this fist and foot kung fu, of course, these are not secret exercises, but pure fist and foot kung fu. But there are fewer people who can read and write, and these ordinary people can't even eat enough, so how can they have the money to read and read. Reading is basically the power of some wealthy families.
"Then you're welcome, Brother Liu!" Huang Xiao said with a smile.
In the blink of an eye, Huang Xiao stayed in the village for more than a month. During this time, he took a little time every day to teach the children in the village to read and write, and of course, Liu Qin was one of them.
The rest of his time, he spent studying Snake Stalker and practicing. According to what Liu Qiang said, Huang Xiao's current strength is too small, and if he wants "Snake Stalker" to exert its power, then it is necessary to carry out basic strength training.
There are a lot of these training tools in the village, such as stone locks to train arm strength, weight-bearing exercises, after more than half a month, Huang Xiao found that he was no longer as weak as he used to be. At least now his strength is much greater, coupled with his proficiency in the moves of "Snake Stalker", the current Huang Xiao has used this set of grappling techniques, which makes Liu Qiang a little surprised.
In Liu Qiang's words, if Huang Xiao exerts all his strength on him now, then he will have to use nearly sixty percent of his body's strength to break free, and at this rate, I am afraid that in a few years at most, Huang Xiao's strength will be able to surpass him.
In this regard, Huang Xiao is naturally very excited, although this "Snake Stalker" is ordinary in the martial arts secrets, but for people like himself, it is definitely a treasure worth a thousand gold. For Liu Qiang, he also has some admiration in his heart, such a martial arts secret book allows an outsider like him to practice, of course, he can understand this secret book is also a reason. Therefore, after Huang Xiao mastered the moves, he did not hide his secrets, but taught them to some villagers in the village.
During this time, Huang Xiao, Liu Qiang and others also went out a few times. This is naturally to rob money, and Huang Xiao also has a purpose to follow, although in the village, he is basically sure that Liu Qiang and the others should not lie to themselves, they only go to loot occasionally, and they will not hurt ordinary people. But this is not always as real as what he has seen with his own eyes, so he participated with Liu Qiang and others several times.
Generally speaking, Liu Qiang sent a lot of villagers out to inquire about the news in advance, and when they got the goods from those landlords, they would act at the opportunity.
"Brother Huang, I'll go out tomorrow, will you go?" When Huang Xiao had just finished playing a set of "Snake Stalker" in the courtyard, Liu Qiang walked in and asked.
"Which one is in the city this time?" Huang Xiao naturally understood the meaning of Liu Qiang's words, and when he went out, he naturally fell in love with whose property or goods.
But this time it's to step on the spot in advance and prepare for the next time. Speaking of this, Liu Qiang of the Wang family gritted his teeth a little.
Huang Xiao understood that the villagers in this village were originally from the same village, and their village basically rented the land of the Wang family, and the rent was increased every year, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, which made them unable to afford it, and finally they could only move the village to this valley. The Wang family is regarded as a tyrant in this 'Yongshui City', and the main Wang family has a close relationship with the nearby 'Tiger faction', and with the support of the 'Tiger faction', even the county magistrate in the city has to give the old lady of the Wang family some face. Therefore, the Wang family can be said to have done countless evils in the vicinity, and I don't know how many families have been ruined and their wives have been separated.
