Chapter 28 The eldest brother is like a father
After drinking the tonic medicine of Senior Brother Li Rui, Jing Zhutou came up with the beef soup in his hand.
"This little brother, it's not enough to just drink decoction and medicine, you have to strengthen your diet! Come, I don't like beef, I'll give you all this, eat more!"
As he spoke, Jing Zhutou picked out the beef in the bowl, and the remaining pieces to Ye Qingchen. Ye Qingchen was very grateful in his heart and thanked him repeatedly.
In the early morning of this day, Ye Qingchen woke up.
A soft shout: "Sizzle!"
Then he was overjoyed, and sure enough, he felt that his body was full of strength, and his injuries were half healed. It seems that Senior Brother Li Rui's ancestral decoction is really extraordinary.
"Oh god! It worked. As he spoke, he moved his shoulders and limbs, and his whole body was full of strength.
He looked gratefully at the sleeping backs of Li Rui and Jing Zhutou.
However, although the wound medicine could restore some of his physical strength, it did not prevent Fan Jie's fist from hitting his body, and it still felt like purgatory.
Day forty-five. Ye Qingchen finally completed all three tasks for the first time.
Ye Qingchen couldn't help cheering, who expected Fan Jie to splash a basin of cold water next: "Starting tomorrow, change the project." ”
In this way, with the support of Li Rui's injury medicine, Ye Qingchen finally survived the first stage.
"No...... Don't hit me! I'll practice!" On horseback, Ye Qingchen slept profusely, and kept exclaiming, Jing Zhutou looked at it with a continuous sigh, shook his head, and asked towards the Yellow River: "Huang Darttou, this son is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, as for practicing to death like this?"
Huang He waved his hand when he heard this: "Jade is not a weapon, now is the critical moment for his mental stability, tempering it will help him grow in the future." ”
Hearing this, Jing Zhutou couldn't help but shake his head again, and his eyes looking at Ye Qingchen couldn't help but be full of pity.
What Jing Zhutou didn't know was that what Huang He really thought in his heart at this time was: "Damn, I dare to make a private agreement with my daughter for life and beat you to death!"
On the forty-sixth day, Ye Qingchen, who had passed the first stage, finally ushered in a new project.
"Step 1: Turn sideways before swinging your sword. The right foot is in the back and the left foot is in the front. The center of gravity is placed on the right leg.
Step 2: Swing your hand back and make a motion similar to a whip throw. At the same time, turn the body and use the strength of the upper waist and abdomen to cross the right foot forward, while the shoulder drives the upper arm, and the upper arm drives the lower arm.
The third step is the last step, the palm of the hand should be kept relaxed, the moment the long knife is cut, the handle of the knife should be pinched tightly, the forearm should be rotated inward, and finally the wrist should be shaken forward to increase the final explosive force, after landing, the center of gravity should be placed on the right foot in front of it.
After speaking, the senior brother demonstrated again in slow motion.
Ye Qingchen nodded thoughtfully.
"Come on, use this stick to split this stone, slow down at the beginning, and then exert force when the movement is correct. If you make a mistake, you can punch once!" Fan Jie's cold voice came. Ye Qingchen trembled again.
"That's not right!"
"That's not right!!"
"Still not right!!
After two hours, Ye Qingchen waved his hands almost a thousand times, and the pain of his palms was like fire, and in the interval, he spread out his palms and looked at it, only to see that a thick layer of skin had been taken off on his hands, revealing bright red subcutaneous tissue.
"I made a total of one hundred and thirty-eight wrong swings just now, which is one hundred and thirty-eight punches!" Fan Jie clenched his hands and gurgled.
Ye Qingchen swallowed his saliva, Fan Jie's fist gradually enlarged in his eyes, one hundred and thirty-eight punches in one go, and Ye Qingchen's tears flowed from being beaten......
On the sixtieth day, Ye Qingchen and others passed by the important town of Jiangzhou. Passing by a pharmacy, Ye Qingchen suddenly had an idea. I went in and bought some yellow noodles and came out.
That night, Fan Jie had a stomach slot in a quarter of an hour, his whole body was sore, and the fist that hit Ye Qingchen's body was also soft. Ye Qingchen's heart blossomed.
For the next three days, Fan Jie ran non-stop along the way.
"Master, you go first, I'm going to ...... Gong"
"Master, wait a minute, I'm going to pull ......"
"Master......"
"Go ahead! Remember to bring paper!"
And these three days have been wonderful for Ye Qingchen, and he finally doesn't have to be beaten. looked at Fan Jie's painful expression. Ye Qingchen was overjoyed, not to mention relieved. Xindao, Fan Hong drugged me, I'll drugged you!Hahaha!
On the sixty-fourth day, Ye Qingchen had just left the pharmacy and picked him up with his big hands.
"Take out what you have in your hand!"
Ye Qingchen turned his head and looked at it, only to feel that his scalp was numb: "Big ...... Big brother!"
"Boy, should I praise you for being smart or call you stupid? After taking drugs for three days in a row, are you doubting my IQ?
With a miserable scream, Ye Qingchen was kicked away......
"Boy, no matter what the reason, as long as I have diarrhea in the future, you will wait to be beaten......"
Just after the end of the night, the elder brother woke him up with a punch. As a punishment, the practice starts an hour earlier......
At the end of the exercise, the scarred Ye Qingchen was half-kneeling on the ground, soaking wet and panting. Fan Jie has long since left.
I don't know when Fan Hong came here.
"Boy, can you still bear it?"
Ye Qingchen clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, and did not speak.
Choking, the sound of a long knife coming out of its sheath.
Ye Qingchen slowly raised his head, only to see Fan Hong laugh proudly: "Haha, the kid is optimistic!"
Immediately, Ye Qingchen froze in place, only to see two Fan Hong appear in front of him at the same time, jumping high into the air, and then Fan Hong's long knife was tightly attached to his back, and his feet were raised back......
This action is very familiar to him, it is the full moon style and shadow prison that he has been practicing hard for two months!
The sound of gold and iron intertwining came, and the half-human-high rock in front of him was split in half.
Ye Qingchen was stunned, Fan Hong, whom he hated the most, had already mastered the ...... No, why didn't he use this stunt the last time the two competed?
Thinking of this, Fan Hong squatted in front of him: "Boy, I haven't been idle in the past few days of your practice, I watch you practice from a distance every day, see if you have mastered these two stunts, but what about you, even the knife is still unstable, waste...... That's it, what else are you practicing, phew, give up as soon as possible. ”
After that, Fan Hong laughed and walked out proudly......
Boom! Ye Qingchen slammed his fist to the ground, mixed with a little blood and dirt......
Even Fan Hong secretly learned to practice his stunts, but he made no progress, could he ...... Is it really waste?
There is a way that the embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and under the joint destruction of the two Fan brothers, Ye Qingchen's psychological defense line finally began to collapse......
Eighty-fifth day, early morning.
So far, Ye Qingchen has been beaten for eighty-five nights in a row.
I saw Ye Qingchen's hands wrapped in thick gauze, because the wooden stick hit the stone, and the flesh and blood of the palm rubbed against it again and again were blurred. And Ye Qingchen knelt on the ground at this time, crying bitterly: "Senior brother, I really ...... I can't hold on anymore......"
It's not that Li Rui's medicine doesn't work, but that Ye Qingchen's psychology is on the verge of collapse at this time.
The physical scars are not terrible, but the hundreds of thousands of boring and simple repetitive movements, and the huge pressure on the mental impact.
His mind is not yet mature, and if he becomes an adult, he may still be able to withstand this hurdle. But for a sixteen-year-old, he was not enough......
There was a loud bang, and I saw Ye Qingchen flying high, almost hanging on the branches, but it was Fan Jie who kicked him away.
Tong!
Ye Qingchen fell heavily to the ground, his whole body convulsed, his body and mind had reached the limit.
Lying on the ground, he curled up vigorously, tears streaming down his eyes......
"Shit, shit!"
Boom!
"If you are willing to practice, you can practice!"
Boom!!
"If you don't want to practice, get out!"
Boom!!!
"I can't wait to sleep a little longer! I can't hold on, right, you ...... yourself"
Boom!!!!
"Tell the master! Boy, do you still want to marry the little junior sister? What are you dreaming of?! Remember, the little junior sister is the daughter-in-law of my Fan family!"
After the violence was finished, Fan Jie wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned away, and he used up all his strength with each of these kicks.
At this time, Ye Qingchen, who was kneeling on the ground, gasped heavily, his whole body was completely paralyzed, and he couldn't move a bit......
Click!
The large teardrops, getting denser and denser, instantly drenched the ground.
During this time, the young man raised his head and cried loudly......
On the eighty-sixth day, the sun set in the western mountains.
Li Rui came to Ye Qingchen and slowly handed over the decoction in his hand.
Seeing this, Ye Qingchen did not reach out to take it, but slowly lowered his head with red eyes: "Senior Brother Li Rui, I ...... I couldn't hold on anymore. ”
Hearing this, Li Rui's body stiffened and he sighed.
Putting down the decoction, Li Rui slowly sat down beside him, looking at the crackling bonfire, Li Rui asked in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Qingchen, do you know what ingredients are in this medicine?"
"I ...... I don't know. Ye Qingchen was not interested in the slightest......
"Ambergris, taurine, codonopsis, atractylodes......" Li Rui read slowly, and there was a large list of names that Ye Qingchen had never heard of.
"Not to mention anything else, just talking about this ambergris, a piece with the size of your palm costs one hundred taels of silver, and the sum of these decoctions you have drunk so far has exceeded three thousand taels of silver. ”
"What are you talking about!" Ye Qingchen woke up suddenly, jumped up, and looked at Li Rui in disbelief, three thousand taels of silver! That's an astronomical amount.
But Li Rui's face was quite calm, and he sighed: "You heard it right, it's three thousand taels of silver, these medicinal materials were bought by the senior brother, personally ground into powder, boiled into soup, and let me serve it to you." He also specially instructed me not to tell you and the master. ”
Ye Qingchen's chest rose and fell sharply, and his Adam's apple surged up and down. Tears flowed silently......
How is this possible! That plague god who beats and abuses him all day long? That iron-faced Yama? Fan Hong's eldest brother?!
All this ...... He couldn't believe what he said, and in his mind, this pair of brothers was extremely annoying.
And Li Rui's words continued: "These three thousand taels of silver are all the savings of the senior brother in the past ten years. If I'm not mistaken, in a few days, the whole family of the senior brother will be drunk by you. Hey......"
After speaking, Li Rui shook his head and stood up. Ye Qingchen burst into tears......
"Superior martial arts are so easy to practice, junior brother, you can persist until now, senior brother already admires you very much. There's no shame in giving up.
However, then again, you yourself feel painful, and as a bystander, I actually envy you even more, because the ingredients in this decoction are all things that strengthen the body and increase the substance.
We apprentices with ordinary qualifications can't drink if we want to.
As a dignified man, you should only shed blood, not tears, if you cry and give up, little teacher...... What about those who need your protection?
When you step into the rivers and lakes one day, you will know that tears and self-esteem are worthless in the face of absolute strength.
I'm leaving, the master is waiting for you......
As long as you tell him to give up, he won't embarrass you. ”
After that, Li Rui didn't say much, sighed again, and left the place, leaving Ye Qingchen looking at the bowl of decoction on the ground, crying bitterly here.
By late at night, the camp had gradually quieted down, and many people had already laid down to rest. Fan Jie kept looking in the direction of the master, his brows furrowed. Surprisingly, Ye Qingchen did not appear there......
At the end of the day, Fan Jie opened his eyes on time, it was already a hot summer day, he breathed a breath of stuffy air, and walked towards Ye Qingchen with strong spirits.
As he walked, Fan Jie's footsteps suddenly stagnated, and he saw that the place where Ye Qingchen was sleeping was already empty at this time......
Soon after, the only grove to the south of the camp was located. I saw a thin figure standing alone, constantly waving the wooden stick in his hand, slashing at the boulder in front of him.
His hands were bloody!!
Although his face was tired, his eyes were bright, and his fighting spirit was burning in his eyes.
Click, click......
Fan Jie's figure slowly appeared behind Ye Qingchen. His brow furrowed. stared at the young man who had changed his past decline, but there were countless questions in his heart, this kid is not normal?
After the practice, Ye Qingchen threw the blood-stained wooden stick in his hand, puffed up his chest, and looked at Fan Jie without fear: "Come on!"
"What are you doing?" Fan Jie frowned again, this kid is really not normal today!
"Beat me! Isn't it like this every day?"
"You're done with the exercise, why should I beat you, idiot!" Fan Jie slowly turned his head and walked towards the camp with a look of disdain.
Ye Qingchen's eyes were red, staring at the back of the senior brother tightly, motionless. For some reason, he unexpectedly missed his senior brother's fist at this time......
Since then, Ye Qingchen has not been lazy and slippery for a day.
At the same time, he refused to drink the tonic again.
Day 113. It is about to cross the border of Jiangju and arrive in Gyeonggi. Early in the morning......
I saw Fan Jie standing behind Ye Qingchen, and Ye Qingchen turned into four vague phantoms, first after using the shadow prison, then a leap, and then a full moon style, slashing at the huge rock in front of him.
In an instant, the black wind howled, the moon was dark, there was a sizzle, sparks splashed, and the boulder was split in half in response!
Immediately, Ye Qingchen's face showed excitement, he turned his head to look at Fan Jie and shouted, "Senior brother, I've practiced! I've practiced!"
Fan Jie nodded expressionlessly, and was about to leave as soon as he turned around.
The next moment, I saw Ye Qingchen, his eyes were red, his mouth was grinning, and he rushed towards Fan Jie, Fan Jie's body trembled, but he didn't dodge after all.
At this moment, I saw Ye Qingchen Xiong hugging Senior Brother, and the sound of wow sounded......
Burst into tears!
Fan Jie couldn't help but be stunned in place, and after a while, he showed a smile for the first time, and gently put his hand on Ye Qingchen's forehead: "I almost forgot, you are still a child!"
