Before old master lin could finish half a bowl of tea, the courtyard door was pushed open with a loud bang. A group of twenty youths rushed in and startled him. He turned around and laughed," why are these guys all together? "
Captain liu was also surprised and asked," this is all your home ..."
"No, my kid is only seven or eight. Most of them are from the same race. "In the middle of his speech, the old man suddenly thought of something and said," these kids usually study together. Brother, let's see which one of them has talent. It would be better if they could take your place. If it was all normal, then learn a one-and-a-half style. In the future, it would be fine to protect the safety of the clan. "
Captain liu nodded and gestured for the children to come forward.
The children were a little hesitant. After all, they had never seen this cold-faced old man before, but when they saw elder lin by the side, they guessed that the cold-faced old man would not do anything to them, so they mustered up their courage and rushed forward.
Captain liu looked at the children's palms one by one and patted their backs. Finally, he pointed at lin wei and li zheng's youngest son, er zhu, and said," these two are not bad. The rest can learn self-defense skills." "
Seeing that another grandson had been selected, elder lin was rather happy and said," that's not bad. Wait for my clan to discuss it. If the family doesn' t object, I' ll have to trouble elder brother to take care of these kids in the future. "
Captain liu waved his hand and didn' t say anything polite. After all, he had come to the lin family village to be a companion to his old brother and to be able to take in a few apprentices. First, he passed on the inheritance of his martial arts and second, he had gained a foothold in the village, which was a good thing for both parties.
Old master lin didn' t care about the confused boys and instructed Jiao Jiao," grandfather, go to the village. Take grandpa liu to the backyard to rest." "
"Well, grandpa, don't worry. "
Jiao Jiao responded obediently and ordered the boys to pick up captain liu's luggage and go to the backyard together.
Captain liu wanted to remind the boys of their martial arts practice. He simply glanced at the east wing of the backyard and carried lin ping to the yard to check if he was lazy and tired these days.
The two of them held their wooden knives in their hands.
Jiao Jiao squatted on the stone grinder, kowtowing melon seeds as he watched the dumb boys who were not yet known to be sold snickering.
Practicing martial arts was a tough job, and it became a natural and powerful thing. However, it was not easy to smell the chicken and dance. In short, if he did not suffer hardships, how could he become a superior person?
Old master lin was drinking tea at his house when a few elders rushed over. The villagers who had heard the message earlier said vaguely, and grandpa wu, who was in a hurry, came into the courtyard and shouted," big brother, what kind of trouble are you guys in again? "
"Yes, these boys are in trouble just because they don't study for a day? "
Old master lin quickly waved his hand and gestured for everyone to sit down. He then told them about captain liu's usual stay in the future and finally said," old captain has seen the children's bones. Only er zhu and brother protector are suitable for martial arts. The rest of the boys can learn how to defend themselves. As the old saying goes, art is not much. It was the same for them to be naughty all day, so it was better for them to learn some survival skills together. In the future, even if they were to go out and walk around, they could be at ease. "
A few elders of the tribe, Tongli, were looking at each other and nodded." Big brother is right. The boys are running around like crazy all day. They can' t use up all their strength. It's really not as good as learning some skills. "
"Uncle, we can' t let master liu teach our children skills for nothing. Do we want each other ..." Old master lin asked tentatively. As expected, old master lin shook his head and refused," no need. Captain has a past relationship with me. Even brother ping and brother protector have to formally worship under his door as disciples. If your er zhu' er is interested, just prepare a pot of meat and wine. However, in the future, the old captain would be walking around the village, so let's not wait any longer. "
"Of course, brother. Don' t worry, he treats our children well. If he treats them badly, then he has no conscience. "
"Yes, certainly not. "
Even li zheng quickly called his wife to prepare things. His two sons, big zhu, were in the school this month. He was usually literate, and his calculations were not bad. In the future, he hoped to enter the city to do a small business, or simply find a job like a bookkeeper, which was enough to support his family. It was this little son who had developed limbs and had a simple mind. Now that he was learning martial arts with captain liu, he finally had a way out in the future.
The villagers soon got the news. They heard that old master lin had hired a master to teach the children simple Wu Yi defense. Many of them brought the rest of the children to the lin family's compound as well.
Unfortunately, captain liu had always been interested in lin pinglin and er zhu' er, and the rest could only learn some rough kung fu to defend themselves.
But the people of the tribe were not disappointed. First, they did not need to bring a bundle of cultivation. Secondly, the children could learn to defend themselves, so they would not be bullied in the future.
That afternoon, lin bao rushed to the city to climb his plow and brought the family back from the shop. Father zhou, who was resting at home, was also invited as a witness.
When night fell, two tables of wine were set up in the lin family's main room. A few elders and li zheng sat at the table, as well as elder lin and father zhou. Of course, the two most important people were captain liu and master jiang.
Eight courses of cold and hot food, chicken, fish, eggs, everything is complete, plus a mutton soup, the pressure of the table will collapse.
The good wine that the city had bought was also filled with bowls.
The rest of the villagers ate early and all came to join in the fun. The dong family had brought the melon seeds and snacks, but they did not wait for them.
When master jiang was old, captain liu asked him to take in his disciples first.
So, dressed in a new lin renyi, kneeling on the ground, to master jiang kowtow, formally worship the master.
Master jiang thought of the skills of the family, followed by others, later also have a disciple to send home, excited is tears.
"Well, well, from now on, when you come under my door, I will teach you everything. As you know, after so many years of being a teacher, you have suffered so much because of your greed for fame and wealth. Therefore, for the teacher to teach your skills, do not look forward to your fame, just hope that you learn something successful, do something fun. Skill in the body, a lifetime of food and clothing. "
"Yes, my disciple obeys my master's instruction. "
Lin renyi nodded respectfully and kowtowed again.
Master jiang took out two things from the cloth bag beside him. A yellow rosewood carving cake was printed to lin ren, and the thick, shiny kitchen knife was given to lin yi.
The two boys were usually by master jiang's side, so they naturally knew the importance of these two items to the old man. It was almost as if the old man had been punished for coming out of the imperial palace and serving in the distribution mine. No matter how difficult the old man was, he did not throw these two things away. It could be said that they were like heirlooms.
Now that he had given them the money, it was obvious that he had high expectations for the two of them.
