The next morning, five more people moved into the courtyard, and at noon, Wang Daoming came to the courtyard and gathered them in the courtyard.

The rules of the village and what they were going to do in the future were read out.

Only then did Ma Chuan learn that Longquan Villa had also recruited a group of disciples, twice as many as Cangsongzhuang, and there were many more people who were willing to do miscellaneous labor, that is, the more than ten people who lived in the courtyard first. The five people who came in the morning were the miscellaneous disciples recruited by another branch village Qingzhu Village.

After a day of rest, Ma Chuan began his life as a miscellaneous disciple. His daily task was to fetch water, fetching water for the pool of the large canteen in the village, and on the first day it was ten loads.

Ma Chuan carried a pair of wooden barrels and walked on the forest path in the early morning, accompanied by a total of eight people, five people in green robes, all of whom were young people. The other two are Zhang Yuntong and a teenager named Bai Yu.

After walking on the winding path for a quarter of an hour, the five people in front of them walked like flies, leaving the three young men behind,

Even if Ma Chuan was carrying a pair of empty barrels, he felt very uncomfortable, and he had already changed his shoulders several times, and he was almost running all the way before he could barely keep up.

After walking like this for a while, the shade of the surrounding trees gradually disappeared, and the morning sun was dazzling. Ma Chuan appeared in front of a spectacular scene, in front of him is the willows swaying with the wind, and then there is a shallow stone fence, outside the stone fence is a jade-like lake, the surrounding scenery is reflected in the lake, there is an island like a handsome mountain peak in the lake, in the morning sun, like a fairyland, people can't tell the truth from the fake for a while.

There is no stone fence at the place where the water is taken, and you have to go down three stone stairs and stand on a wide platform to get water directly from the lake.

The five green-robed people took water first, and their previously calm faces suddenly became as ugly as Ma Chuan's three.

Seeing this, Ma Chuan nervously walked down the three-step stone staircase, filled the two wooden barrels with water, and carried them ashore, in addition to feeling very heavy, but bearable. But when he was on his shoulder, his face suddenly distorted, and he staggered back.

Zhang Yuntong picked a load of water, which was easier than Ma Chuan, but it was no better, and the most relaxed was Bai Yu, which made the two of them impressed.

Ma Chuan carried the first load of water to the large canteen, and it took half an hour, stopping and stopping along the way, and most of the water was spilled.

By evening, Ma Chuan had only picked up five loads of water, but his legs trembled, his shoulders were swollen and painful, and his whole body was exhausted.

Back in the dormitory at night, Ma Chuan sat quietly on the bed, and the thought of giving up kept lingering in his mind. But now I feel embarrassed to give up, and I really want to talk to the other two, it's best for them to give up too, then he can be at ease. However, seeing that Zhang Yuntong and Wang Meng were ready to rest as usual, he couldn't say anything if he gave up.

Thinking that he would have to carry water again tomorrow, Ma Chuan was upset, and if he couldn't complete his daily task in five days, he would be sent home.

Ma Chuan was a little envious of Wang Meng, his daily task was to prune flowers and plants, but he was embarrassed to show it, after all, he was so old. In this way, he had to compare with Zhang Yuntong and Bai Yu, Bai Yu successfully completed the task, and Zhang Yuntong picked eight burdens.

Ma Chuan was a little depressed when he thought of this, and his body was also very tired, but before going to bed, he still had to do what he had to do. So, as usual, he sat cross-legged in the posture of the girl in his mind, untied the sachet and held it on his chest.

"Brother Ma, you still have to practice internal skills!" Zhang Yuntong, who had just laid down, was very surprised, he also felt very tired today, so he didn't practice the martial arts he learned at home.

"I didn't complete the task today, and I didn't have time to go to the Chuangong Hall to learn basic martial arts, so I had to practice this. Ma Chuan said helplessly, only by completing the task every day, can the rest of the time be used to learn the basics of martial arts.

Seeing that Zhang Yuntong didn't get up to practice martial arts, Wang Meng just glanced at it and continued to sleep, Ma Chuan felt a little lost, and even wanted to fall asleep like them, but in the end he held back.

After starting to sit cross-legged, Ma Chuan felt comfortable, and both his physical exhaustion and his inner frustration were gradually weakening.

The next day, Ma Chuan picked seven loads of water, Zhang Yuntong completed the task on time, and Bai Yu had already completed the task two quarters of an hour ahead of schedule.

Back in the dormitory at night, Zhang Yuntong was worried about Ma Chuan.

Ma Chuan's face was calm and full of confidence.

When Zhang Yuntong asked, Ma Chuan said: "In the process of carrying water today, I have all the comprehension of the internal skills I have practiced, and I am confident to complete the task tomorrow." ”

"Really, speak up and listen to it, and I'll be inspired. Zhang Yuntong was skeptical.

"This internal strength is my family's secret, I can't say it. Ma Chuan's face was slightly red, he was not used to lying.

"You and my brother, Wang Meng is not an outsider, and he doesn't let you say what he thinks, he just talks about his understanding. Zhang Yuntong said to Ma Chuan that he had comprehended the internal strength, and he was still skeptical that he would be able to complete the task tomorrow.

"It's about guarding your chest. Ma Chuan was vague.

"Be clear. Zhang Yuntong continued to ask.

"I can't really say, it's a secret legend. Ma Chuan's tone was resolute, but his face turned redder. His comprehension was actually to understand that the point of light on the chest of the girl's figure in his mind was actually the meaning of Yike. This is still what he really can't help when he is carrying water, and he habitually takes a deep breath and can hold on further, and he understands the situation after taking a few deep breaths before.

"Don't talk about it, I thought I really wanted to steal your family's secrets, I was worried about whether you would be able to complete the task tomorrow. Zhang Yuntong said angrily.

"You don't have to worry, I'll be able to complete the task tomorrow. Ma Chuan said apologetically, but let him say that he thought about the figure of a girl in his mind every day, he couldn't say it anyway.

Before going to bed, Ma Chuan sat cross-legged again, this time trying to guard his chest, and vaguely felt that there were many patriotic troops in his heart supporting him.

On the third day, Ma Chuan really completed the task on time, which provoked Zhang Yuntong to keep asking him what he had understood, but he resolutely refused to say.

After this crisis, Ma Chuan was very happy, and tried to complete the task as quickly as possible every day, and then went to the Chuangong Hall to learn the basics of martial arts, but these foundations made him very disappointed, nothing more than knowing the meridian acupoints and learning a standing pile pose.

Disappointment to disappointment, Ma Chuan studied very seriously, and after completing the task every day, in addition to knowing the meridians and acupoints, he stood on the pile and sat cross-legged before going to bed.

Gradually, Ma Chuan learned that their task was actually only half of the normal level, if they could pick up twenty loads of water every day, they could go to the Chuangong Hall to learn one trick of ghost boxing, and then in the future, for every five more loads, they could learn one more trick of ghost boxing.

A month later, Wang Meng couldn't hold on and voluntarily gave up.

Although from the first day, there have been people in the courtyard who have been giving up, but Wang Meng is a person who came with him, and he has lived in the same room for so long, his departure has a great impact on Ma Chuan and Zhang Yuntong, and makes the determination of the two waver.

Half a year later, there were less than ten people left in the courtyard, and the originally lively courtyard began to become deserted, and Zhang Yuntong decided to give up at this time.

Although Ma Chuan tried his best to persuade him, he failed to keep Zhang Yuntong.

Zhang Yuntong's departure gave Ma Chuan an unprecedented impact, and a sense of loneliness enveloped him and made him very confused.

Fortunately, sitting cross-legged before going to bed every night, the figure of the girl in his mind gave him the joy of staying, practicing martial arts to protect his family and finding iron letter for revenge, which gave him the motivation and direction to stay.

Since then, whenever he feels lonely and irritable, he has painted the figure of the girl in his mind, and when he wants to give up, he has painted the figure of his family in his mind, and he has thought about the scene when Tiexin came to the door.

Due to Zhang Yuntong's departure, Ma Chuan's daily task was to pick twenty-five loads of water, which was even harder all of a sudden, but he also learned two ghost fists.
