Chapter 22 The book in the hand, the sweetheart
A few days later.
Lin Zhao's sword injury was healed rapidly and scabbed. Firstly, Chen Yu used the medicine better, and secondly, Lin Zhao himself was a martial artist, and he was the peak martial artist at the second level. His body had been polished very strongly, and his recovery ability was far beyond the level of practitioners in the same level. Therefore, although Huang Yueran's injuries were extremely severe, he still recovered very quickly.
...
On this day, Lin Zhao had already started to set up a boxing stake in the yard. After several trips of the farmer's three punches, his body began to sweat. At this moment, Chen Yu walked in with a few Tianchi Army soldiers, carrying an old duck in his hand and said, "Lin Zhao, I'll give you some food."
"How embarrassed!"
Lin Zhao said: "These days, I have received too many favors from Sister Chen Yu."
"It's okay, this is what Shuai Chu ordered."
Chen Yu looked at the boy who had recovered from his wounds with big watery eyes, and smiled and said, "It's a good practice... It's not bad. Since that's the case, start to execute Chu Shuai's orders."
"ah?!"
Lin Zhao was stunned: "What order does Shuai Chu have to me...?"
"From tomorrow, when you go to the Marshal's Mansion, Chu Shuai will personally urge you to practice boxing. You will practice for ten days in total, and you will be able to leave after ten days." Chen Yu raised his lips, his smile was extremely gentle, and he said, "Little guy, other children in Tianchiling do not have such special encounters. A martial artist from the Ten Realm of the Sea will personally help you polish and guide you in boxing and body skills. This kind of blessing is something that others can't even ask for."
Lin Zhao was ecstatic: "Really?"
"Well, tomorrow morning, go directly to the Marshal's Mansion. I will arrange your residence for you. Don't go back here in the next ten days."
"oh!"
Lin Zhao was stunned, then looked at the little stone behind him and said, "That little stone..."
Chen Yu smiled, bent down and touched Xiao Shitou's head, and said, "You can leave more food for Xiao Shitou and let him cook by himself every day. When you are so old, have you already started to learn to live alone?"
"Yeah, OK!"
...
After Chen Yu left, Lin Zhao began to prepare ten days of food for Xiao Shitou. The old duck sent by Chen Yu was slaughtered directly, and the meat was stomped into five parts and dried it. One portion a day was eaten. In addition, ten portions of venison, pheasant meat, etc. were also kept. From the afternoon, Lin Zhao was busy laying pancakes and preparing thirty large cakes for Xiao Shitou, one meal at a time, and just learn how to stew it yourself.
However, Xiaoshitou is indeed too small. One stove on the stove and one under the stove. It is really distressing to cook on a stool. But Lin Zhao had no choice. He had been nervous enough to stay in the Marshal's Mansion for ten days, and he didn't dare to bring Xiaoshitou. This would be too presumptuous. Chu Shuai could kill Huang Yueran with one punch, and he was definitely not a good-tempered person.
The reason why Lin Zhao is so anxious is actually very simple. He is very eager for the past ten days of practice and ten days of boxing. Perhaps he can break through to become a martial artist in the third realm. Since he was severely injured by Huang Yueran, Lin Zhao actually had nightmares every night, and the scenes in the dreams were the same. The scene of Huang Yueran falling from the sky and the raging sword energy all made Lin Zhao frightened, but he also yearned for it. If one day, he could also become a powerful sword cultivator like Huang Yueran, how great it would be!
Moreover, after being injured this time, Lin Zhao also had certain thoughts in his heart. Before the age of fourteen, he only wanted to live, but after the age of fourteen, he could not be limited to this. Instead, he had to think about how to live better. Only by living better can he feel at ease when he looked at his father and mother in the sky.
So, from now on, Lin Zhao will become stronger! So strong that no one can underestimate himself, and so strong that no one dares to bully him. Only in this way can he truly look up and open his eyes to the world with his head and chest out.
...
In the evening, after dinner, I took a few punches.
Lin Zhao came to the door and took a look. The figure did not appear.
It seems that Chen Yu will not come again today.
For no reason, the boy felt a little disappointed.
So, he ordered Xiao Shitou to set up a boxing post in the yard. After practicing boxing, Lin Zhao took off a hanging of pickled dried fish from the wall, came to the front street, headed straight to the bookstore, and then walked in with great strides.
"Boss Qin!"
“Hey?”
The middle-aged Confucian scholar was reading under the window, but he was reluctant to light the light, and just read in the moonlight. Lin Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and admired him. In terms of stinginess and saving, he was not the only one in Tianchi Town. Boss Qin is really a strong opponent.
"Brother Lin?"
Qin Suihan looked at Lin Zhao and a bunch of dried old salted fish in his hand that was enough to cook for two meals, and smiled and said, "What are you going to do?"
The boy smiled awkwardly, raised the dried fish and placed it on the table outside, and said, "This little fish... Boss Qin has soaked it and cooked it. You can drink it. Today... I have something to ask Boss Qin."
"oh?"
Qin Suihan smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
"that……"
The boy was a little shy and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will go to the Marshal's Mansion to practice boxing with Chu Shuai. There will be only Xiaoshitou at home for ten days. Although Xiaoshitou is very sensible, he is still too young after all. I am afraid that he will encounter something at home alone. So if Boss Qin has time, he will go to my house to see Xiaoshitou every day, just look at it once."
"Oh, this one, there's no problem with this."
Qin Suihan smiled and said, "There is something else?"
"there is none left."
"oh."
The middle-aged scholar was right under the window, talking to the boy through a wall, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Brother Lin, look at your appearance... Have you ever liked someone you like recently?"
Lin Zhao was extremely embarrassed and stood there, twisting and thinking about Chen Yu's appearance. The eldest princess of the Great Chen Dynasty had a very beautiful face and almost caught up with Sister Bai. As a martial artist, Chen Yu was filled with energy and spirit. In addition, he was extremely gentle. After spending a long time together, the young man naturally had feelings in his heart.
However, everyone in Tianchiling knew that Chen Yu had only one person in his heart, and it was Chu Shuaixi. Chu Huaixi was the unparalleled hero in Chen Yu's heart and was irreplaceable.
When the boy thought of this, he felt a little sad, but after a few seconds of sadness, he began to be a little happy again. She also had someone she liked in her heart. Shouldn’t this be a very pleasant thing?
"What's the point of liking someone?"
Qin Suihan smiled and said, "Don't feel embarrassed. Everyone will have someone they like in this life."
Lin Zhaoshen nodded with consent and said, "As a scholar, Boss Qin must have a very high-level vision. In your heart, there are people you like?"
"Um."
Qin Suihan stood up, holding a scroll in his hand, and stood in front of the window under the moonlight. Looking at the bright moonlight, he looked quite a bit like a fairy-like charm and smiled: "Scholars should naturally have people they like, after all..."
He gently raised the book, looked at the moonlight with gentle eyes, and said slowly.
"The moon in front of the window, the book in hand, the sweetheart, this is the most elegant thing in the world."
...
Lin Zhao didn't quite understand, but he thought Qin Suihan's words were very interesting and worth chewing, so he turned around and ran home. On the way, he recalled his first meeting with Qin Suihan in his mind.
At that time, Lin Zhao was only six years old and was a very thin child. At that time, his mother was very ill and could no longer get out of bed. So every day, Lin Zhao took medicine for her mother and decocted medicine.
There is a saying in the town that the medicine residue left after decocting medicine should be sprinkled on the road, because the reason why people get sick is because of plague ghosts, and these medicine residues are sprinkled on the road. After passing by, the plague ghost will transfer from the sick relatives to the people who have stepped on it. So, only six years old, Kobayashi walked around the town with the medicine residue for three times, but still did not throw away the medicine residue.
Finally, he passed through the White Fish Creek and came to the back mountain, sprinkling the medicine residue in the wilderness.
At that time, a scholar who went up the mountain to collect herbs happened to pass by.
Qin Suihan asked: "Lin Zhao, why do you sprinkle the medicine residue here?"
Kobayashi's eyes were red and she said, "My mother's illness is so serious. I hope she can get better soon, but I don't want her illness to be transferred to others, so I can only sprinkle it here after searching for it. I hope that the birds and beasts passing by can separate some of my mother's illness and let her get better soon."
That day, the owner of the bookstore, Qin Suihan, sent Xiaolin Zhao all the way to the back street. After that, Qin Suihan far away and performed a Confucian bow to Lin Zhao. Although Lin Zhao didn't know what the meaning of this etiquette was, he could feel the respect of this strange bookstore boss for him. So, for the first time in his life, Kobayashi followed suit and also performed a Confucian bow to Qin Suihan on the stone bridge.
Lin Zhao always felt that Qin Suihan was a very good person and the best person in the town.
...
I woke up early the next morning.
While Xiao Shitou was still sleeping soundly, Lin Zhao had already gotten up. He heated up the broth the night before and a few more big cakes. He woke up. Xiao Shitou looked confused after waking up. The sky outside was not even brighter. He couldn't quite understand why Lin Zhao got up so early. Could it be that he was so fascinated by following Chu Huaixi to learn boxing?
After eating and drinking, Lin Zhao left all the door lock keys to Xiao Shitou, and then carried a sword on his back and went to the Marshal's Mansion.
The Marshal's Mansion is not in a small town, but is built outside the town. It is said to be the Marshal's Mansion, but in fact it is more like a temporary camp outside the town of Tianchi Army. Sometimes it garrisons, sometimes it is regarded as a wounded barracks. At this time, there are a large number of wounded barracks tents outside the Marshal's Mansion. From a distance, Lin Zhao could hear the painful wailing of the wounded soldiers.
Lin Zhao remembered that when he was injured before, Chu Huaixi had just returned from the war.
It seems that the Tianchi Army did not win this battle.
...
"It's coming so early?"
On the wall of the Marshal's Mansion, an old man with a sword was sitting there, holding a few buns in his arms, and asked with a smile: "Can you get a bun?"
Lin Zhao smiled: "Does there be meat stuffing?"
"Choose food?"
The old man shook his head, but he still smiled and threw down a meat bun, and said with a smile: "Open the door for you after eating, Chu Shuai hasn't woken up yet."
"Oh well!"
Chapter completed!
