Chapter 103 Visitation
The weather is getting cooler, it is a good autumn.
Today, Zhang Xiaohua has already read all the boxing manuals of the Lotus Bodyguard Bureau, but has not read any of the sword manuals and sword manuals. Once Zhang Xiaohu helped him return the last boxing manual, and took a copy As for the sword manual, Zhang Xiaohu remembered that he was just begging Mr. Qu to borrow the library’s boxing manual when the library steward registered. It was only one book, which made Zhang Xiaohu heave a sigh of relief.
However, Zhang Xiaohua didn't seem to have the qualifications to learn sword manuals. He read it back and forth no less than ten times, but he couldn't understand the content, which made him very surprised. I just didn't understand, and couldn't write it down, so I had to throw it aside.
From then on, Zhang Xiaohu no longer went to the library to borrow books, which surprised the busy manager, but made him extremely uncomfortable with his leisure time.
On the other hand, Zhang Xiaohua spent most of her time studying with Li Jinfeng, and only closed her eyes in the evening to recall her boxing techniques.
One day, Zhang Xiaohua was sitting on the kang, flipping through some classics brought to him by Li Jinfeng, and when he was reading something interesting, Zhang Xiaohu opened the door and came in.
Zhang Xiaohua said happily: "Second Brother, why did you come back so early today?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled a bit reluctantly, and said: "Today I practice boxing all morning in the martial arts gym, and I'm a little tired, besides..."
Having said that, the tone is a little hesitant.
Seeing that the second brother didn't continue, Zhang Xiaohua was also very surprised, and said, "What's the matter? Second brother, what's the matter in the martial arts hall?"
Zhang Xiaohu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "It's like this, Xiaohua, tomorrow the martial arts school is going to teach me inner skills, so let me come back early today to rest and prepare for tomorrow."
When Zhang Xiaohua heard it, she was so happy that she almost jumped off the kang and said, "That's great, second brother, I didn't expect the martial arts school to teach you inner strength so soon. I really congratulate you. I thought it would take a few days anyway." It’s only a year. Hahaha, when you learn it, come teach me again, and I can also learn inner skills and mental skills. Let Yu Lun envy me, I’m Superman Xiaohua~”
Before Zhang Xiaohua was happy, he suddenly thought of Zhang Xiaohu's expression when he first entered the room, and immediately knew that things were not as simple as he thought, and there seemed to be a problem.
Sure enough, there was no joy on Zhang Xiaohu's face.
Zhang Xiaohua asked puzzledly: "Second brother, what's going on, I guess you can't teach me."
Zhang Xiaohu nodded affirmatively, and said: "Well, yes, Xiaohua, today Master Qu told me that he was going to teach me the inner strength and mental method tomorrow, so I asked him if I could teach you after I learned it. But Qu San However, the master said that this inner strength method is an undisclosed secret of the Lotus Escort, and only people from the Lotus Escort can practice it with special permission. Don't look at the fact that so many people in the martial arts gym are learning it, it can make Master Qu agree. There are still very few people who learn inner strength and mental methods. Hehe, you don’t know, Xiaohua and Third Master Qu will also form cliques. If you insist on hinting that I want to join their camp, who does this escort agency belong to? I don’t know, who am I not with, of course I’m happy to agree, people say that leaning against a big tree can enjoy the shade, so I wouldn’t be so stupid as not to take this olive branch.”
Zhang Xiaohua looked disappointed, and pursed her mouth and said: "What is the secret that can't be broken, it's so secret, or, second brother, you teach me secretly, and I won't tell anyone. Okay?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled wryly and said: "It would be great if it was so simple. Third Master Qu also said that inner strength and mind skills are no more than martial arts such as boxing and saber techniques. The cultivation of inner strength is not a one-time thing. To teach others. If I teach you right after I started practicing, then to be honest, I will harm you, and I will really go crazy. And when I succeed in cultivation, I will teach you again. I guess you will have other opportunities by then. I think what Third Master Qu said is also very reasonable, what do you think? Xiao Hua."
Zhang Xiaohua spread her hands,
Said: "Second brother, how do I know this, I have never practiced internal strength, alas, forget it, if I don't teach it, I won't teach it, I don't care about such broken internal strength, I haven't learned my own boxing yet, Let’s talk about it after I practice boxing as well as you.”
Zhang Xiaohu didn't believe it, and asked, "You really don't want me to teach you anymore?"
Zhang Xiaohua giggled and said, "Forget it, really forget it, but you still have to tell me some of your cultivation experience, okay?"
Zhang Xiaohu stroked his chin and said, "This, it seems that Mr. Qu didn't mention it, so it should be okay."
Zhang Xiaohua applauded and said: "That's it, I want to see, what kind of internal skills I can learn in the future, whether you learn it better or I learn it better."
Zhang Xiaohu felt sore, and said, "Well, of course it's your kindness, I have a hunch."
In fact, Mr. Qu still had some words, but Zhang Xiaohu did not tell Zhang Xiaohua that Zhang Xiaohua's right hand had been disabled, not only could she not do heavy work or carry heavy objects, but the meridians on the palm of her hand might have been destroyed, and without a hand The meridians on the palm can be opened up, where is the complete internal strength? In other words, Zhang Xiaohua may not be able to cultivate any internal skills.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohu spent most of his time in the room doing boxing, sitting cross-legged on the kang, with his five hearts turned to the sky, his eyes watching his nose, and his nose watching his heart, practicing internal skills. Zhang Xiaohua next to him watched The second elder brother's appearance is both curious and funny. Could it be that the appearance of this clay bodhisattva is to cultivate internal strength? It was extremely strange, but he knew that Zhang Xiaohu was just a novice, even if he asked, he couldn't explain clearly, so he kept his mouth shut and watched carefully from the side, lest he would make a noise and disturb his second brother.
In fact, the practice of inner strength is all about stillness. It is only through stillness that one's own body can become vivid, thereby generating inner strength. Generally, beginners use a special quiet room to practice. When Zhang Xiaohu was in the martial arts gym, he always used the quiet room. When he returned to the room, he knew that it was not suitable for practicing internal strength, but he was used to hard work, and he never had a moment to spare. There was no room for improvement in boxing, so naturally So I worked hard towards my internal strength and mind. Of course, it doesn't matter if he is alone in the room, but there are others, but it is also dangerous. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua was injured and couldn't move very well, and she knew not to disturb her second brother, so nothing happened.
One day, Zhang Xiaohu went to the martial arts hall to practice martial arts, leaving Zhang Xiaohua at the house, sitting on the kang bored, someone knocked on the door, waiting for someone to come in, it was Mr. Li Jinfeng.
Li Jinfeng entered the room with a smile, holding some books in his hands. He was busy with his homework during this time, and he hadn't come for a long time. First, he asked about Zhang Xiaohua's injury. Talking about the books left behind last time, and Zhang Xiaohua also read them very seriously, and had a lot of questions in her mind, so the two talked about each other very lively, and some questions even caused fierce defenses between the two.
While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door again, Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised, almost no one came to her second brother's house, why did two people knock on the door today? He raised his voice and said, "Come in."
However, the door didn't open and no one came in, Zhang Xiaohua was even more surprised, who is this? Shout again: "There are people in the house, come in."
People still didn't come in.
Li Jinfeng looked at Zhang Xiaohua, went to the door, opened the door, and saw a young woman standing outside, he bowed his hands and said, "This girl, who are you looking for?"
The woman said strangely: "Did I find the wrong one? Is this room Zhang Xiaohu lives in?"
Seeing this, Li Jinfeng quickly said: "The girl is right, this is the room where Zhang Xiaohu lives, but he is not here for the time being."
"Oh, that's it." The woman relaxed and said, "Then is his younger brother Zhang Xiaohua here? I'm from Huanxi Villa, come and see him."
Li Jinfeng heard this, and said: "Here, Zhang Xiaohua is sitting on the kang. He is injured. The doctor told me that it is a critical period recently, and he tried not to get off the kang, so he didn't come out. Please come in."
The woman said: "The person who spoke just now is Zhang Xiaohua?"
Li Jinfeng said strangely: "Yes, he was the one who let you in. Didn't you hear him talk?"
The woman said, "The voice doesn't seem right."
After finishing speaking, Li Jinfeng invited the woman into the room. After the woman entered the room, Zhang Xiaohua saw who it was and was very happy, shouting: "Sister Qiutong, why are you here?"
As he spoke, he was about to jump off the kang.
Qiutong took a few steps, pressed his shoulder, and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, don't get off the kang, your friend said that the doctor won't let you move, please sit down."
Zhang Xiaohua said happily: "It's okay, Sister Qiutong, she was playing under the kang a few days ago, but the doctor saw it and said it was the last time, so be careful, don't touch the bones and waste all previous efforts. That’s why I’m allowed to guard this kang, but it’s actually all right, you see.”
After finishing speaking, he was about to turn his arms around. When Li Jinfeng saw it, he hurried over, held it down, and said, "Don't be brave, let's play in a few days."
Seeing that the two of them cared about her, Zhang Xiaohua laughed, sat back on the kang again, and said to Qiutong, "Sister Qiutong, this is my enlightenment teacher, named Li Jinfeng."
Qiutong was surprised again, and said, "Mr. Enlightenment?"
Li Jinfeng blushed and said: "Miss Qiutong, don't listen to Zhang Xiaohua's nonsense, I'm just a student who came to Pingyang City with him, and I hit it off with him and his brother. I saw him injured recently, so I came to see him."
After that, he briefly talked about how he taught Zhang Xiaohua to read, and finally said: "It's nothing, Xiaohua is very smart, and I can do it with a little effort, so I can't be called an enlightened gentleman."
Qiutong was also happy when he heard this, and said: "You teach Xiaohua how to read, so naturally you are the enlightened teacher, this title is a given, but if you treat him as your younger brother, it's okay for him to call you Brother Li. By the way, Zhang Xiaohua, you can actually write, which is really amazing, when your injury recovers, you should write it to your sister."
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she got up and said, "I write with my left hand, sister Qiutong, I can write for you now."
When Qiutong heard this, it suddenly dawned on her that she was using her left hand.
Quickly said: "No, don't be so anxious, wait until later."
But Zhang Xiaohua had a chance to show off, as if she had something fun, she just wanted to share it with others, and insisted on writing it now, so Li Jinfeng put the pen and ink on the kang, and the few words Zhang Xiaohua wrote were really impressive. As good as Li Jinfeng praised him, Qiutong was very happy for Zhang Xiaohua and kept praising him.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled even happier.
After asking about the recent situation, Qiu Tong explained the purpose of coming: "A few months ago, Uncle Qu sent someone to the owner of the villa to say that you were injured in the escort agency and you were going to live in the escort agency to recuperate. I just wanted to tell the owner to let you go back to Zhuangzi. Yang, this Escort Bureau is full of elders, who know how to take care of you, but the owner said that you can be regarded as a member of the Escort Bureau, and your brother is here, if you are allowed to raise it in the villa, your brother will be very happy It's not good to miss you, so I didn't ask me to pick you up. And then, I went to the south for some business. I just came back recently. I saw that you still haven't returned to the villa. Today, I just happened to go to Pingyang City because I have something to do. , I’ll come and see you, since your injury is in good shape, and it’s not too bad, why don’t you go back to the Escort after you recover completely in the past few days.”
Zhang Xiaohua said embarrassingly: "Sister Qiutong, and the owner of the villa, you are so kind to me. I have only worked in the villa for a month, and then I stopped. I am still lying here recuperating. The work in the villa has been delayed. Well, I'm really sorry for you."
Qiu Tong said with a smile: "It's okay, we all think of you as a cute little brother, although the landlord has not seen you, but she is a soft-hearted good person, you came out at such a young age, now you are still You were injured, how could she blame you? Besides, Liu Er came back a month after you were injured, and you didn't delay Zhuang Zhong's affairs."
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaohua exclaimed in surprise: "Liu Er is back, so...then can I go back to the villa? You don't want me anymore, do you?"
Qiu Tong smiled and said: "No, Xiaohua, Third Uncle Qu has already agreed with the owner that you will stay in Huanxi Villa from now on, and you don't need to go anywhere. Besides, there are many things to do in the villa, Liu If you don't do the second thing, there are other things you can do, the owner will definitely not want you."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua patted her chest and said: "It's dangerous, I was injured, and no one wants me anymore, so I will be very lucky. It's a fluke, a fluke."
Qiutong glanced at Li Jinfeng and said, "It's also thanks to you, Brother Li, you are no better than before, you can read and write such good characters, you can actually live anywhere, Of course, in Zhuangzi, with the protection of the owner, it is of course much better than outside. If the owner knows that you can read and write, he must be very happy. So, you have to thank you, Mr. Enlightenment."
Zhang Xiaohua said sternly: "Sister Qiutong is very right, Brother Li is right, I really have nothing to say, but I can't repay, I have to wait until later."
Li Jinfeng evaded and said: "Xiaohua doesn't have to be like this. Being able to teach you also satisfies my desire to be a good teacher. Being able to play the prestige of being a teacher in front of others is also an opportunity you gave me. I don't thank you, nor do you Thank me, and I won’t mention it after the word “repay.”
Qiu Tong looked at Li Jinfeng, and felt that what this man said had some meaning, unlike the sour and vulgar people he usually saw.
Then, he said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, I haven't seen you in the past few months, why has your voice changed? It used to be a little soft, but now it's a little hoarse and deep. It's not because of this injury, but because the internal injuries in the body have not been treated. All right."
Zhang Xiaohua was taken aback for a moment, raised her head and said carefully, "Huh, huh~", and said puzzledly, "Nothing has changed, sister Qiutong."
Qiutong smiled and said, "If it hasn't changed, why didn't I hear it outside the house just now?"
Zhang Xiaohua scratched her head and said, "The doctor in the clinic didn't say there was any internal injury. I heard from Yu Deyi that his internal force didn't break into my meridians, but only hurt my fist."
At this time, Li Jinfeng interrupted and said: "Well, Miss Qiutong, when young people are in their teens, their voices will change. The voice used to be called a child's voice, which is very sharp. Xiaohua is changing her voice now, and it is a little hoarse. After this period With time, the voice will be fixed, and the voice will not be as high-pitched as before, but Xiaohua's voice still sounds very good, quite magnetic."
Qiu Tong smiled and said: "Mr. Li is really knowledgeable, he knows all these things."
Li Jinfeng blushed a little, and said modestly: "These are all mentioned in the book, I just dabbled a little bit, and I knew it based on the actual situation, and I dare not take credit for it."
Seeing him like this, Qiu Tong has a better impression of him.
Afterwards, Qiutong asked again: "Xiao Hua, when will your injury heal? I'll calculate the time. Next time I come to Pingyang City to do business, I can take you back together."
Zhang Xiaohua thought about it and said: "Actually, I can go back now, but I guess the doctor from the Escort Bureau will not agree. I think there should be no problem in about ten days."
After hearing this, Qiu Tong said bluntly: "Well, I'll come to pick you up in ten days. Anyway, Zhuangzi has a lot of things to come to Pingyang City. Even if I don't come, I will send someone else."
But Li Jinfeng said: "Miss Qiutong, Xiaohua's injury may not be fixed until the time is right. It's better to wait for him to recover. I will send him there with his second brother, so that you won't have to worry about coming here to pick him up."
After hearing this, Qiutong thought it made sense, so she said, "That's fine, if I can come in ten days, I'll come and pick it up. If not, you can send Xiaohua there to see the environment of the villa. Don't worry about Xiaohua."
After finishing speaking, she talked for a while before Qiutong said goodbye and went back. Zhang Xiaohua wanted to get off the kang and sent her to the door, watching her reluctantly as she turned down the corridor.
Zhang Xiaohua turned around and went back to the house when Qiutong was gone.
After entering the room, I found that Li Jinfeng did not follow in. Turning around, the guy was still staring blankly at the empty corridor, as if thinking about something, Zhang Xiaohua shouted: "Brother Li, what are you doing? Met an acquaintance?"
Li Jinfeng then turned around, smiled and said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Who do you know? This security agency is full of martial arts, and few of them can appreciate me as a frail scholar. How can I make friends?"
As he said, he supported Zhang Xiaohua's right hand and carefully let him get on the kang.
