"My father-in-law hasn't been so happy for a long time. ”

Chang Sihao looked sideways, and it turned out that it was a small pendant who spoke. She dismantled the dozen or so buns on her head, combed them into their original shapes, squatted next to the chicken coop, looked sideways in the direction of her grandfather, and took a straw stick in her hand and drew it on the ground. Chang Sihao looked at her puzzled. The little pendant said: "I don't like to talk much when I'm fair, unless I grind him to tell stories." But he is very happy when he talks to you, and he talks a lot. Chang Sihao asked, "Doesn't he tell you about martial arts and kung fu?"

The little pendant shook his head: "On the edge of the Yellow River, it is enough to be able to spearfish and cast nets, what is the use of learning those things? I don't want to fight and kill as soldiers." ”

Chang Sihao said: "If you don't fight, kill, and kill, it's good to keep fit." The little pendant smiled: "Every day, releasing rafts to carry passengers, fishing and labor, these activities are also the same to strengthen the body." Martial arts are martial arts, and they are ultimately meant to be used to kill. ”

Chang Sihao was silent.

The little pendant continued: "You always want to practice martial arts to kill the soldiers and take the city back, is this the idea of strengthening the body? Practicing martial arts can strengthen the body and live a few more years, but you have never thought that practicing martial arts every day will not consume more time than the years you live? Besides, even if you live for a long time, what is the use? There is no difference between living for 100 years and living for 50 years, just suffer more crimes. ”

Chang Sihao heard her bitter and thought of his sister who died tragically, and couldn't help but shudder, thinking that in this troubled world, he died early, maybe it was really a blessing? Although I sometimes feel very bitter to live, if I die, I will not have the opportunity to see such a vast and beautiful Yellow River in the world, I will not have the opportunity to eat such delicious carp meat, and I will not have the opportunity to see you. These are all things that I could never have dreamed of before, and it can be seen that only by living can the future be infinitely possible. When my sister was alive, all she saw was arid land, thin villagers, thinking that the world was like that, she died like that, isn't it very pitiful? Martial arts can kill, but it does not mean that you have to kill people after learning, and now there are soldiers on the border to plunder, Tatars to seize cities, and bandits are rampant everywhere in the country, and you have learned martial arts, at least you can use it to save your life. If a wicked man comes to kill your father-in-law now, is it possible to protect him in your current state?"

The little pendant was stunned for a moment, looked gloomy, and shook his head. Chang Sihao said: "You are a girl, don't learn martial arts, your father-in-law asked you to learn needlework, but it is very useful, even if you don't embroider any flowers, at least you can sew and mend and make some clothes." ”

"Sew it up......! It's just not pretty. The little pendant rubbed his nose, thinking about the scene of threading the needle in his mind, and his eyes were a little sad: "That thing is too annoying, I would rather fork more fish and sell them, and then buy ready-made." ”

Chang Sihao smiled: "Then think about it, is your father-in-law happy in the clothes you bought, or happy in the clothes you made?"

The little pendant was a little frustrated, and lowered his head and said: "Of course it's a happy ...... to wear what I made" Peeked at Chang Sihao, and said lightly: "What if it's you?" Chang Sihao asked: "What did you say?" The little pendant blushed, but didn't say anything. Suddenly hearing the sound of rubbing footsteps, the two turned their heads to look, and it turned out that Chen Sheng walked out of the grass hut with a golden knife in one hand.

Chang Sihao hurriedly ran over to support him: "Chen ...... Mr. Chen, are you awake, why did you get out of bed before your injuries are healed?"

When Chen Sheng saw that it was him, a smile appeared on his face: "Little brother, you are not from the Qin family in Shanxi, you don't need to be in charge, just call me Brother Chen." Chang Sihao saw that his beard under his chin was black and white, and thought to himself, how could he call him eldest brother when he was over forty? But since he said it, he couldn't disobey it, so he responded: "Okay." ”

Chen Shengyi looked around and asked, "Is this your home?" Chang Sihao hurriedly waved his hand and told the story of the past, without mentioning that the old man Baofu taught him martial arts. Chen Sheng nodded: "So I really want to thank this old man and Brother Chang." The little pendant said: "I can also help carry you, and feed you chicken soup!" Chen Sheng smiled and said: "Sins and sins, Chen will not forget the girl's great kindness!" ”

When he was about to go out, he saw the old man Baofu coming from afar with a big turtle. The little pendant clapped his hands and laughed: "Oh, father-in-law, you are catching the Yellow River turtle!"

The old man Baofu entered the hospital with a smile, flipped the turtle over, and put it on the ground, and Chen Shengyi hurriedly came over to give a salute and thank you. The old man Baofu waved his hand to teach him not to be polite, and said, "Your injuries are not healed, why did you go to the ground? I'll boil turtle soup in a while, and you can drink some tonic and tonic qi. ”

Chen Sheng: "Thank you for your kindness, Chen has an urgent matter to do, and he is about to set off immediately, I'm afraid this turtle soup can't be drunk." He took out a few silver tickets from his bosom and handed them to the old man Baofu: "Engong's life-saving grace cannot be repaid, I don't have much money around me, this point, Engong will use it first, and when I go back to finish my work, I will definitely repay him again." Chang Sihao looked at the numbers on the silver ticket, adding up to a few hundred taels, you must know that the poor family farms and fishes, and only spends a few strings of copper coins all year round, and these silver are enough to live for several lifetimes.

The old man Baofu smiled: "I'm ashamed, I'm sorry for you, hehe." "I took the silver ticket.

Chen Shengyi smiled indifferently and arched his hand: "So Chen said goodbye first." As he spoke, he staggered with his golden sword and walked out. The old man Baofu did not stop him.

Chang Sihao saw his crumbling appearance, ran up to support him and said, "You look like this, how can you walk? Chen Sheng shook his head and continued to move forward. Chang Sihao couldn't bear it, and said, "Where are you going, I'll send you there!" Chen Shengyi shook his head: "This way, the road is far away, how can I let you send me." Chang Sihao held his arm: "You saved me that day, you are Chang Sihao's benefactor, this way is to the ends of the earth, what is it?" Chen Sheng smiled and said: "That little thing, don't mention it." Chang Sihao said: "It's a small thing for you, but for Chang Sihao, picking up this life and coming back is a big deal." I'm going to send you all the way. Chen Sheng nodded: "Good brother, be righteous! My brother just lost his words and looked down on my brother." Chang Sihao signaled that it was okay, turned back and walked to the old man Baofu, knelt down, did not speak, his heart was sour, two lines of tears flowed down, although he and the old man Baofu only got along for two days, but the old man treated himself cordially and warmly, and carefully instructed in martial arts, the little pendant was lively and playful, similar to his dead sister, and with them, it was really like finding the feeling of going home, and he wanted to leave at the moment, and he couldn't let go in his heart. I wanted to call the master, but the old man Baofu said something first, and Chen Shengyi was not far from his side, so he had to change his title and said: "Father-in-law, Chang Sihao wants to give his benefactor a ride, come back after the fact, and come to serve your old man." ”

The old man Baofu looked at him, looked lonely, and said lightly: "Although I am old, I don't need people to serve, you don't have to look for me when you come back, if you have a heart, go and worship the Yellow River." Chang Sihao was stunned when he heard this, remembering that the old man had said that he wanted to bow to the Yellow River and learn the law from heaven and earth, and thought, yes, he was secretly reminding himself of the principle that martial arts and nature are in harmony, but he nodded.

stood up, but saw Xiao Shen looking at him with a pair of wonderful eyes, saw his eyes turning, and said: "Brother Xiaohao, you, you can come back early, let's play with the spearfish." Chang Sihao nodded: "Okay, you have to learn the female red well, and I will play with you." The little pendant pursed his lips and looked at Chang Sihao's eyes, but he didn't make a fuss, and lowered his head in response: "Hmm." ”

Chang Sihao helped Chen Shengyi to say goodbye to this ancestor and grandson, went out of the courtyard, and looked for a way to the northeast. After walking a long way, there is a rock hill in front of it, next to it are a few towering ancient trees, and there is not a single pedestrian. At this time, the sun was scorching and the weather was sweltering, Chen Shengyi saw sweat on his forehead, Chang Sihao was afraid that he would not be physically exhausted, and said, "Let's rest under the tree first." Chen Sheng nodded. The two came to the bottom of an ancient tree, Chang Sihao moved two stones, and let Chen Shengyi sit first, he was just about to turn around and sit down, but he saw Chen Shengyi suddenly flip his left palm and hit his chest!
