Chapter 160 The straw hut
Chapter 160 The straw shed
He Tianshu was just talking about it. If he gave the secret book to Zhang Xiaohua, what would he learn by himself? With Zhang Xiaohua's half-baked level, how could he understand the mysterious "Piaomiao Step"? He was so worried that he would give it to Zhang Xiaohua.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was very sensible, He Tianshu said, "It's not that I don't want to practice anymore. I have already practiced for a few days now. If I continue, I can only stir-fry leftover rice, so why don't I go and see the back." Speaking of this, I turned my eyes and muttered angrily: "I'm afraid of practicing footwork in front of you."
Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled and pulled He Tianshu's clothes and said angrily: "Captain He, how can you say that? I am focused on your studies. If you don't explain clearly, I will go to the owner of the manor to sue you for slander."
He Tianshu smiled and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, I really can't see through you. If you were smart, you can't even learn basic Arhat Fist. With such simple internal skills as Mangniu Jin, you can't find a sense of qi. It can be said that you are not a martial arts master at all, but if you are stupid, look at the horse stance you are pricking and the Piaomiao Step you are learning, I don't know what to say, and I can only describe it as a genius."
Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and said, "Captain He looks at me too highly. The footwork just now is just not using internal force. I just don't have internal force, isn't it a coincidence?"
He Tianshu did not agree with it and said, "No, no, no, the footwork I practiced just now was actually something I have learned for many days. The mystery in this misty step is very large. Every step is of particularity. It is not easy to record and use it casually. I have learned many details by carefully considering it. Wherever you are like you, it depends on how many times I can imitate it. If you practice it a little, I can learn it. I am envious of this understanding alone."
Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. He just saw a little shadow in the martial arts hall, and he still had no idea about the structure inside. Where did he have any say?
He Tianshu scraped the short beard under his jaw and said thoughtfully: "Actually, what Mr. Li Jinfeng and Mr. Li said makes sense. With your smart head, you should still practice literature. Your hands are not very good now, and you don't know when you can recover. There is no chance of practicing martial arts. Now your boxing skills can protect yourself, and changing the practice is also a very good and prosperous way."
Zhang Xiaohua shook her head like a rattle and said, "I am certainly willing to read a lot of books and read a lot of books. However, I prefer the feeling of dancing sticks and playing sticks. The ancients said that it was good. Killing one person in ten steps will not stop a thousand miles. Just thinking about it is refreshing, and this is the realm I pursue."
He Tianshu shook his head and said, "It's as easy as you imagine. Things in this world are often easy to think about and do. The days in the world are bloody and bloody. You just saw a harmonious corner and it's not an exaggeration to say that you can see through the leopard. The ancients said that practice is the only way to test the truth. Only when you leave yourself can you know the hardships."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua immediately thought of her second brother's situation. She was moved and stopped talking.
The two walked out of the woods one after another.
When he arrived at the courtyard, He Tianshu said to Zhang Xiaohua, "By the way, Zhang Xiaohua, Nie Xiaoer and others have been staying in the potion hall for the martial arts conference these days. As for me, I also have to comprehend this Piaomiao Step and the work of the medicine field..."
He Tianshu said something a bit reluctant. Ou Yan had already made it clear that day that if Zhang Xiaohua was willing to go to the field to work, then go to work. If he didn't want to go, then it was up to him. Zhang Xiaohua has not been slacking off during this period and has been in the medicine field for a lot of time. But that was because He Tianshu and the people in the Pharmacy Hall were there. Now, if they have something to do, they will push all the work to Zhang Xiaohua. He Tianshu was also a little ashamed.
Zhang Xiaohua didn't think much about it and said, "It's okay, Captain He, you guys are busy. I've taken care of all the work in the fields."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly thought of practicing qigong in the medicine field at night, and immediately added: "Or what, Captain He, I might as well build a shed in the medicine field and live there at night."
This was originally the truth of Zhang Xiaohua, but it naturally changed in He Tianshu's ears. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, don't exaggerate like this. I will go to the medicine field if I have time. Don't think too much. This martial arts performance conference is a major test that every disciple of the Piaomiao Sect has to face every year. It is very important for their future development. Nie Xiaoer and the others are not really lazy, they just can't let go of it."
Now Zhang Xiaohua is already ripe in her mind, and she can’t hear what He Tianshu meant. She quickly said, “Captain He, what I mean is that when the crops in our Guozhuang are ripe, they always build thatched houses by the fields to take care of the crops. This is a custom, and I don’t have the intention to give up.”
He Tianshu had never worked in farm work, so he naturally didn't know, but he also believed that Zhang Xiaohua would not do anything to slander, so he had to wave his hand and say, "You can do it, anyway, I think it's a bit exaggerating to do that."
The two of them went their own way and went back to their own house.
It was a big cloudy morning and there was no sunshine.
But this did not affect Zhang Xiaohua's good mood.
To be honest, there are really not many jobs in the medicinal field, just shoveling grass, watering, and removing insects. I don’t know what’s going on in this medicinal field. There are not too many insects, but the weeds grow like crazy, unlike the farmland in Guozhuang. A lot of things can grow without cleaning a day. However, Zhang Xiaohua did these tasks alone, which is enough. Sometimes Zhang Xiaohua couldn’t help but wonder if the Pharmacy Hall has so many people in this medicinal field because there are too many people in the Piaomiao School and the cost is high. So a few people were placed for Huanxi Villa to raise them.
Zhang Xiaohua finished his work easily and practiced his worry-free heart meridian. This medicine field is a good place. Not only can you easily find the qi and lure the qi into your body, but this place is a forbidden area of Huanxi Villa. Ordinary guards, servants and others cannot approach it. Otherwise, Zhang Xiaohua meditated next to the medicine field for one night last night and was discovered by someone during a patrol.
Zhang Xiaohua also easily did the act of luring qi into his body, but when the vitality disappeared into his body, Zhang Xiaohua's heart suddenly moved, as if it was touched, but when he thought about it, there was no trace. He couldn't help but wonder what was going on in the past two days, and he always was shocked and felt that he was thinking of something, but he just didn't know it, which was really puzzling.
While he was wondering, he suddenly thought of something again. The matter of building a shed had to be told to the owner of Ou. If he didn't agree, how could he make his own decision? That would have become an illegal building.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua stopped exercising her skills, stood up, and quickly walked towards the inner courtyard.
Zhang Xiaohua is now a celebrity in front of the owner of the manor. Everyone in the inner courtyard knows this fact, because Zhang Xiaohua doesn't need to report to enter the inner courtyard. As long as the owner is in the hall, someone can take it in. However, very few of them know the inside story. However, this does not affect their favorability for Zhang Xiaohua. Now, Qiuju took Zhang Xiaohua into the inner courtyard, blushing while walking, and secretly staring at Zhang Xiaohua.
Zhang Xiaohua also walked while wondering, but she also wiped her face secretly, thinking to herself: "Can it be that she didn't wash her face just now?"
But this guy forgot that he had come to the inner courtyard for the first time and did a good thing he did in Qiuju's courtyard.
When we entered the hall, Ou Yan and Yu Lao were sitting inside, talking about something.
When Ou Yan saw Zhang Xiaohua coming in, she was very enthusiastic and asked, "Xiaohua, what's the matter with me today?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I'm free today, come in and see Sister Ou."
Ou Yan said: "Who believes that what's wrong with the medicine field? Do you think I don't know? Now Nie Xiaoer and the others are practicing martial arts in the Medicine Hall. They don't have the extra energy to put it here. According to your personality, they will not let go. They must be busy in the medicine field. Where can they get their leisure time?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled, without any awareness of being exposed to lies, and bowed and said, "Sister Ou is indeed full of wise eyes. You can see all these little thoughts."
Mr. Yu also smiled beside him and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, when you first came, you were so simple. You have been so slick in just a few days."
Zhang Xiaohua's face turned slightly red and she said, "Old Yu, look at what you said, I am a manifestation of maturity."
Ou Yan said: "Forget it, don't be with Ma Jing and the others in the future, they will be out of tune. By the way, what's wrong?"
Zhang Xiaohua said seriously: "That's right, Sister Ou, didn't you just say that there was not enough people in the medicine field? I think I am idle all day long. Why would I build a shed next to the medicine field at night and just treat it as a night watch. What do you think?"
Mr. Yu and Ou Yan looked at each other, and it was very strange. Ou Yan asked, "Zhang Xiaohua, I know you are wholeheartedly devoted to the villa. No matter how busy this medicine field is, you don't have to work overnight. You are too exaggerated."
Mr. Yu also shook his head.
Zhang Xiaohua whispered: "Sister Ou, this is the case. In our countryside, when it comes to summer or autumn harvest, we always build a straw hut in the fields. We are also working nearby to watch the crops. I am a little homesick, but I have come up with a solution."
Ou Yan's expression was gentle and she said, "Zhang Xiaohua, how long have you been out?"
Zhang Xiaohua said without hesitation: "It's been one year and four months."
Ou Yan said: "Well, a young child like you, how can you not miss home for such a long time? Otherwise, I'll let you have a break for a while and go home and have a look?"
"Really?" Zhang Xiaohua stood up in surprise and asked, "Then, will the monthly money be deducted?"
Ou Yan was amused and cried, saying, "If you don't deduct it, don't deduct it, just treat it as paid annual leave!"
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "It's great. If Sister Ou sent me to Lu Town for business, that would be the best."
Ou Yanqi said: "Why is that?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled strangely and said, "There is still a subsidy?"
Old Yu stroked his forehead with one arm, his face full of helplessness. His sword moves were entrusted with inhumane skills.
Ou Yan said: "Okay, let you go to Lu Town to do business. You won't build that straw hut."
Zhang Xiaohua tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "It's still not possible. Sister Ou, let alone Captain He and the others are busy with things now. There is no one in the medicine field, so I'm not at ease to walk away. Moreover, it's not good for me to go home alone, so I have to go with my second brother. But he just joined the Piaomiao Sect and asked for leave now, which is very inappropriate. Finally, I have something to ask Sister Ou, I'm afraid I don't have time to go back during this period."
Ou Yan was stunned and said, "What else do you have? Why don't you talk about it together?"
Zhang Xiaohua said: "When Sister Ou agrees to me first, I will talk about the next one."
Ou Yan burst out laughing, as if she was looking at her naughty little brother, and said, "Okay, okay, building a shed is not a big deal, I promise that. However, the weather is still cold now, so don't be frozen at night."
Zhang Xiaohua said happily: "Thank you, Sister Ou."
Ou Yan smiled angrily and said, "Why don't you tell me something else?"
Zhang Xiaohua quickly said, "Sister Ou, the Piaomiao Sect is holding a martial arts performance conference now. I heard Captain He say that when he was young, he seemed to have seen people from Huanxi Villa attend. I would like to ask, can our Huanxi Villa also participate in this martial arts performance conference?"
When Ou Yan heard this, she was stunned and said, "Yes, not only can we participate in Huanxi Villa, but even the Lotus Escort Agency can participate. When I was a child, I also attended the representatives of Huanxi Villa. But..."
When Zhang Xiaohua heard that she could participate, she was overjoyed and said, "It's great that she can participate. Sister Ou, I want to participate in this martial arts conference. I wonder if it's okay?"
Not only Ou Yan was surprised, but also Mr. Yu was inexplicably surprised. Mr. Yu asked, "Zhang Xiaohua, this martial arts competition is a competition for martial arts. Are you very good at martial arts? Even if you have killed a man in black who has high martial arts skills, if you can't use that kind of sword move, it will hurt people once you can use it. You can't use sword moves to face the brothers of the Piaomiao Sect."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Old Yu, look at what you said, can I still not know about this? I will definitely not use sword moves when I attended the martial arts conference."
Old Yu said: "What do you use without sword moves? How about you anything else?"
Zhang Xiaohua said innocently: "Old Yu, have you seen me doing boxing, I always have a set of boxing skills."
Mr. Yu was a little funny, but he couldn't bear to hit him, so he just said, "Haha, I've seen your incomplete boxing technique, and it looks average."
Ou Yan was beside him, kindly reminding him, "Zhang Xiaohua, it's not that I don't agree with you to participate in the martial arts conference, but no one has participated in our villa for a long time. Moreover, our participation in the martial arts conference is different from the disciples of the Piaomiao School. People attend the martial arts conference to advance, and they can have new skills, advanced boxing, etc. to learn. The representatives of our villa are purely for exchanging martial arts. Although they win, they have no benefits. If they lose, they will be disappointed."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua understood and said, "I know, Sister Ou, I just want to compete with others for the sake of excitement, not for any benefit. You also know my qualifications. If you practice internal skills, you can't find any sense of energy. Even if you know that kind of boxing, you don't expect to win others."
After hearing this, Ou Yan said, "But Zhang Xiaohua, you have to know that if you participate in the martial arts demonstration, because you are not a disciple of the Piaomiao Sect with a level, you can only compete with the first-level disciples, if it is..."
Before Ou Yan could finish her speech, Zhang Xiaohua interrupted and said, "I know, Sister Ou, I'm not a beginner, it's easy to lose to anyone, it's okay."
After hearing this, Ou Yan said, "Okay, since you know everything and are willing to participate, I will ask someone to ask how to participate in this martial arts conference. After all, our Huanxi Villa has not sent a representative to participate for a long time, and I don't understand the rules in it. However, Zhang Xiaohua, your spirit of knowing the difficulties is still valuable, and I can't help you."
At this time, Mr. Yu asked softly: "Zhang Xiaohua, you just said that you didn't find a sense of qi when practicing internal skills? Which internal skills and mental methods are you practicing? Who taught you?"
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she took out the book "Mangniu Jing" from her arms and handed it to Mr. Yu, telling her that Zhang Xiaohu helped him ask for his inner skills and mental methods.
Mr. Yu took the book "Mangniu Jing" and read it carefully, then handed it back to Zhang Xiaohua, signaling him to put it away, and said with a smile: "I just said that you are lucky. I have obtained the supreme internal strength and thought you have really practiced internal strength from it. It turns out that you are practicing this book."
Zhang Xiaohua felt a little moved, but she had no interface.
Ou Yan was also smart and immediately thought of something and asked, "Zhang Xiaohua, tell me the truth, are you really building a shed next to the medicine field to work for a long time?"
Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth, not knowing how to say it, could it be that she really said that she was there to attract qi into her body?
At this time, Mr. Yu spoke up and said kindly: "Zhang Xiaohua, have you not found a sense of energy when practicing this "Mangniu Jin"?"
Zhang Xiaohua nodded, probably.
Mr. Yu asked again: "Then are you asking He Tianshu? He advises you to try more, or try in the open area where the night is quiet?"
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she was secretly happy. It seemed that Mr. Yu was a little misunderstood. However, she couldn't find a reason and pushed this reason to He Tianshu. Anyway, he was considered his own cheap master. Moreover, the ancients said that it was good. If you die, you will not die. I will be far away from death.
So, Zhang Xiaohua nodded.
Mr. Yu sighed and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, I have paid attention to you since you started practicing boxing. I know that you are a resilient child. You can endure hardships and are not afraid of hardships. That's why I treat you differently. However, this martial arts is about the word "是利", and in many cases, diligence cannot make up for your shortcomings. If you have this mind, you will think about building a straw shed in the medicine field, and when it is late at night, you will be very focused on experiencing the sense of qi. I really admire you. I didn't have the painstaking efforts of you when I was young. However, Zhang Xiaohua, you must have it sometimes in your destiny. Don't force it in your destiny. Many things should be opened."
Mr. Yu had several "but" words, which made Zhang Xiaohua's face change continuously.
