Xiao Xuanhan delivered food several times, and saw that her husband was carrying water, bent over tiredly, his face was covered with sweat, panting, and his heartache tears couldn't stop rolling in his eyes. Seeing her, Ou Xuzi smiled reluctantly and said, "Madam, my husband's body is much worse, and I can't do it if I don't exercise." ”

Xiao Xuanhan wiped away his sweat for him, and whimpered while wiping: "I'm sorry for making you suffer." ”

Ou Xuzi shook his head: "It's nothing, for you, for our family, I don't care how much suffering I have, don't worry about me, madam, otherwise I will have to give up." ”

Xiao Xuan's frightened face turned pale, and the old man came out and said, "Xuzi, haven't you noticed that the time you take to fill a pool of water has been shortened by one-third now, and your body has not changed?"

Ou Xuzi stretched out his arm and replied in surprise: "Yes, my body is much stronger than before. ”

The old man shook his head and said, "It's far away, the main strength of the sword is the strength of the arm, the so-called sword qi Lingyun, and it is under the ten thousand masters." Without the strong power of the arm, it cannot form a sharp sword, and where does the power on the arm come from, it is the internal force that originates from your body, that is, the power of the dantian, which drives your abdominal muscles to exert force and then drive the strength of the whole body. Your body is gradually recovering, so don't use your shoulder, go up the mountain with a bucket in both hands. ”

Ou Xuzi's whole body was shocked, and he sat on the ground weakly.

The teacher's order was difficult to disobey, and in the next period of time, Ou Xuzi began to run up the mountain with a bucket in both hands, how much arm strength this was, at the beginning less than half of the road water was sprinkled with half a bucket, and the old man squinted his eyes and looked at it with sarcasm: "Look at the apprentice I accepted, shame the old man." ”

Ou Xuzi gritted his teeth and filled the pool and plunged into the stone bed and didn't want to get up, his wife brought the food, he couldn't eat it, Xiao Xuanhan put the food and sent it to him, the old man came up and lifted the bowl and pointed at him and scolded: "It's a man, no, embarrass me in front of my daughter-in-law, if you can't hold on, I'll just look at it, it's not too late to leave." ”

Ou Xuzi gritted his teeth and stood up and said, "Master, I won't give in, the Ou family has no admitting defeat in their blood." ”

"Then go to the stone table to eat, straighten your waist, don't look like a wreck, who will show it. ”

Ou Xuzi hobbled to the table and sat down, picked up the rice bowl and ate.

Xiao Xuanhan wept silently on the side.

A month has passed, Ou Xuzi has been able to fill the pool easily, and his body has also undergone amazing changes, not to mention the strength of his body, and his demeanor and actions reveal the toughness of a martial artist. Now every pore of his body is permeated with bravery and strength, and his eyes are flashing with the light of Yan Sù's fortitude, as deep as a pool of water, which is strong and confident, making the old man feel that even if the sky falls, he dares to go up and bear it with his shoulders.

The old man happily stroked his beard, and Xiao Xuanhan came up to deliver food in the evening, he personally poured a bowl of wine for Ou Xuzi and said: "Apprentice, the old man respects you a bowl of wine, you can go home with Xuanhan for one night after eating, and go up the mountain again during the day tomorrow, we should return to the book and learn martial arts." ”

Ou Xuzi looked at him in surprise, and it took a long time before asking, "Master, can you really start practicing?" ”

The old man laughed and said, "Why, haven't you mentioned enough water, if you want to, you can continue." "It's okay, it's okay, I feel like my whole body is full of strength now, and the sword is beckoning to me, it's so painful. ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Who said that I was going to teach you swordsmanship, what I want to teach you is the Thirteen Swords of Tai Chi." ”

"Why?" Ou Xuzi was stunned.

Xiao Xuanhan whispered on the side: "Husband, because the most precious thing for you is a sword, not a sword. ”

Ou Xuzi suddenly realized.

The old man looked at Xiao Xuanhan and thought for a long time before he said: "Xuanhan, since ancient times, women are virtuous if they are not talented, you are very smart, you are the master of everything for your husband, in my opinion, it is not a good thing, he is a man, a man should not only stand up to the sky, but also have a clear mind, the so-called strategizing, decisive victory in thousands of miles." Xuzi has now developed a mentality of dependence, and it may be a disaster for his future, do you know what I mean?"

Xiao Xuanhan's whole body was shocked, and he suddenly lowered his head and said nothing.

"Don't get me wrong, Zhuge Kongming got the help of his virtuous wife during the Three Kingdoms, won three points of the world for Liu Xuande, and achieved a career, Liang Hongyu of the Southern Song Dynasty assisted her husband to kill the enemy on the battlefield, beat the drum and fight Jinshan, and was named Mrs. Anguo ......"

Xiao Xuanhan waved his hand and said: "Master, don't say it, the slave family is just a weak woman, not as good as Liang Hongyu and Mu Guiying, Xuanhan will remember the master's teachings in the future, teach her husband and children, and be a good wife and mother." ”

The old man nodded and said: "After a long absence, you can go down the mountain, the old man can't always be so ruthless and unrighteous to break up a pair of **, and I can't bear it." ”
