Chapter 131： Apprenticeship

Chapter 131 Apprenticeship

When it gets dark, the whole family gathers around the hot stove to finally eat dumplings.

Tao Hongying filled three bowls first, giving one to Mr. Cui, one to Dr. Zhang, and one to the village chief and Uncle Zhao.

There aren’t many dumplings, it’s just my intention.

Compared to other families, the Li family has the most fine noodles.

But there were only four bowls of dumplings left on the stove, which was not enough to eat.

Tao Hongying had already prepared it. She also cooked sorghum rice porridge in another small pot, one bowl for each person, with pickles on the side. Four bowls of dumplings were placed in the middle of the table to eat as a dish.

Mrs. Li picked up four or five for her granddaughter, and each of her grandchildren picked up two more, so there wasn't much left.

She also wanted to give it to her son and daughter-in-law, but Li Laoer said he had a bad stomach and didn't want to eat.

Li Laosan said he wanted to drink porridge, and Li Laosi said he ate roasted rabbit during the day.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru also refused to use their chopsticks, obviously wanting to save food for the elderly and children.

These are the pillars of the family, who always do the hardest work.

But it is the most reluctant to part with the money to eat and drink.

It seems that as long as the elderly and children have enough to eat and drink, they are happier than eating by themselves.

In the end, Mrs. Li persisted. They only ate two or three of them each and then refused to use their chopsticks again.

Jiayin grabbed the dumpling in her hand and tried to bite it with her little teeth.

Seeing her mother secretly take out her dumpling and put it into her father's bowl, she felt sour and warm in her heart, and almost shed tears.

Then she worked harder and harder to eat. She wanted to grow up quickly and make more money so that her family would have endless dumplings!

Days passed day by day, and the small mountain stream was like a machine.

At the beginning, the running-in was a bit awkward, but after half a month, it was already running at a high speed and was extremely proficient.

Patrol, night watch, drill, hunting.

No one is left behind, and every day is busy and fulfilling.

After fighting against wolves, traveling hard, risking one's life to suppress bandits, and even witnessing the tragic situation of the Guo family.

Everyone has a more intuitive understanding of this troubled world!

They don’t make themselves stronger, they don’t sharpen their knives, they don’t run faster, and they don’t unite.

Then their fate will not be any better than that of the Guo family!

Every day, the farm men who would have been sweating profusely in the fields, holding hatchets in their hands, kept cutting at the straw men made of tied hay.

Behead, chop off the arms, knock down and chop off the legs!

In short, they didn’t practice many moves, but they were all killer moves.

Strive to use the minimum amount of effort to maximize the damage to the enemy.

Because their courage, strength, and even skills are not enough to support them in fighting any enemy for hundreds of moves.

You just have to work hard! If you fight hard, you might still be alive. If you don't fight, you'll die!

The women are in the cave, taking care of the elderly and children, boiling water for cooking, and occasionally opening the curtain to look down, which makes them feel much safer. Maybe one day in the future, they may still die, but at least they have struggled and fought against this **** world!

In the small cave, Mr. Wen was also talking to Mrs. Cui.

"Although we are called the Tianwu Dynasty, since the founding of the country two hundred years ago, Yuanzu has been suppressing military generals and civilian officials. The constant fighting between the court and the country has caused the country's strength to become worse and worse. Otherwise, it would not be oppressed by a small barbarian tribe. to this point.”

"Yes, the family of military generals during the founding of the People's Republic of China have all withered away, and today's military generals cannot stop the barbarians at all. The imperial court... has done things like moving the capital! I am afraid that if the Yuanzu finds out, he will rush back from Jiuquan!"

Mrs. Cui didn't know what she was thinking of and sighed.

Mr. Cui glanced at the villagers below for the last time, and said, "If we were Tianwu, and all the people were soldiers, and all the people practiced martial arts, even if they were like the villagers below, we wouldn't have reached the point where we are now, like a lost dog!"

Before he could finish his words, Doctor Zhang climbed up from under the cave. The old man did not go around the bush and said directly, "Mr. Wen, I am here to lobby. The Li family wants Jiaren to worship you as their teacher. In the future, let the family Ren has been studying with you, so I asked you to ask."

After that, he seemed to be afraid that Mr. Wen would not agree, so he added, "According to my opinion, I naturally hope that you agree. Even if you don't formally accept disciples, you can only teach them for a period of time. The Li family...don't look at it as just a farmer. But this family has some weird abilities, which are different from ordinary farmers.”

"Why is it different?" Mr. Wen didn't want to refuse. After all, Jiaren was smart and hard-working, and he was really good at studying. He was also happy to see him, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to give him all his money during this period of time.

Doctor Zhang clicked his lips twice, and then said, "I can't tell, but it just feels different. In addition, I'm afraid you don't know, I came to Li's house because Ye Xiaozi brought me from Kyoto. I originally wanted to save Ye Xiaozi's life." , when I arrived, Ye Xiaozi actually recovered completely. Ye Xiaozi said that he could heal himself without any medicine, but how is that possible? Also, many families were killed this time, including the Guo family.

But look at the Li family and the entire village, not a single one of them died. Don’t you think something is wrong? In short, this Li family is either deeply blessed or hiding an expert. It would not be wrong to make friends with their family. "

Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui looked at each other and laughed.

“Okay, then I will listen to you and accept Jiaren as my disciple.” Mr. Wen agreed directly, and Doctor Zhang immediately left.

The Li family were also happy when they heard about it, and Jiaren was even more excited.

He is very aware of Mr. Wen’s knowledge. He is definitely very lucky to have Mr. Wen as his teacher.

Mrs. Li made arrangements at that time. It happened that Li Laosi was not on duty the next day, so she invited the **** leader Liu, brought Jiayi and Liu Yang, and the four of them went into the forest again, and came back with a red deer that night.

On the third day, the whole village, old and young, went down to the cave and lit a dozen bonfires.

The Li family brought out half a bag of sorghum rice, killed deer to stew meat, cooked vegetable porridge, and held a banquet.

In the presence of the whole village, a grand apprenticeship ceremony was held for Mr. Wen and Jiaren.

Jiaren tidied everything up neatly, knelt respectfully in front of Mr. Wen, and kowtowed three times.

Mr. Wen was a little excited and said loudly, "Since you have accepted me as your teacher, you will become a member of our sect from now on. As a teacher, I want to tell you that our sect is not an unknown person. In the Tianwu academic sect, we are The Xinxue school is committed to the study of Xinxue, and also supports the enlightenment of people's wisdom and attaches great importance to elementary education.

Your master, my teacher, was once a great scholar of the dynasty. Because he hated the fighting in the court, he retired to the countryside and finally died of illness.

Mrs. Cui is your sister-in-law, and I am your master’s disciple. I have no choice but to live a mediocre life and never carry forward the school of mind learning.

You are my first disciple. I don’t know if you will have other junior disciples in the future, but as senior brother, the glory of the division will be in your hands in the future.

We have known each other since we were young and have been in difficulties. As a teacher, I can’t help you much, but I will teach you everything I have learned without any reservation! "

Having said that, he solemnly took out a jade pendant from his arms, "Your master carved this with his own hands and gave it to me when he accepted his disciples. Now it is given to you. I hope you will cherish it!"
