Chapter 160 Grass Shed

He Tianshu was just talking. If he gave the secret book to Zhang Xiaohua, what would he learn on his own? With Zhang Xiaohua's half-knowledge, how could he understand the mysterious "Piaory Step"? After giving it to Zhang Xiaohua, he himself felt very uneasy.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was very knowledgeable, He Tianshu said, "It's not that I don't want to practice anymore. I've finished studying the content for a few days. If I continue, I'll just stir-fry the leftovers. I might as well go and take a look at the back." . And..." At this point, he rolled his white eyes and muttered angrily: "I'm afraid it will damage my self-confidence when I practice footwork in front of you."

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled, pulled He Tianshu's lapel, and said angrily: "Captain He, how can you say that? I only want to learn from you. If you don't explain clearly, I will go to the owner of the village to sue you for slander. of."

He Tianshu smiled and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, I really can't see through you. If you are smart, you can't even learn the basic Arhat Boxing. You can't find such simple internal skills as Mang Niu Jin." Qi sense, it can be said that you are not good at practicing martial arts at all, but if you are stupid, look at the horse steps you have done, and look at the misty steps you have learned. I don’t know what to say. I can only use genius. To describe it.”

Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and said: "Captain He thinks too highly of me. The footwork just now only requires no internal strength. I just don't have internal strength. Isn't it a coincidence?"

He Tianshu disagreed and said: "No, no, the footwork I practiced just now is actually something I have studied for many days. There is a lot of mystery in this misty step, and every step is exquisite. It's not just easy to memorize and perform it casually. I learned many details after careful consideration. If you are like you, just watch me perform it a few times and you will be able to imitate it. With a little more practice, you will be able to imitate it. I am envious of this understanding alone."

Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. He had just seen a shadow of the martial arts palace, and he still had no idea about the structure inside. How could he have any say?

He Tianshu scraped the short beard under his chin and said thoughtfully: "Actually, what Mr. Li Jinfeng said makes sense. With your smart mind, you should still study essays. Your hands are not very good now. , I don’t know when I will be able to recover. There is not much chance of getting ahead in martial arts. Now that your boxing skills are able to protect yourself, turning to martial arts is also a very good road."

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head like a rattle and said: "Of course I am willing to read and write and read a lot of books. I also like it. However, I prefer the refreshing feeling of dancing with sticks. The ancients said that it is good to kill in ten steps." One person travels a thousand miles without leaving a single trace. Just thinking about it makes me feel relaxed and happy. This is the realm I pursue."

He Tianshu shook his head and said: "It's not as easy as you imagine. Things in this world are often easy to think but hard to do. The days in the world are full of bloodshed. You have just seen a corner of harmony. It is not an exaggeration to say that you can see the leopard. Yes. Practice is the only way to test the truth. Only when you go there yourself will you know the hardships involved."

After Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she immediately thought of her second brother's situation and was a little touched, so she stopped talking.

The two walked out of the woods one after the other.

When they arrived at the small courtyard, He Tianshu said to Zhang Xiaohua: "By the way, Zhang Xiaohua, Nie Xiaoer and the others have been huddled in the pharmacy hall preparing for the martial arts competition for the past few days. As for me, I also want to understand this misty step, medicine. Field work..."

He Tianshu said this with some reluctance. Ou Yan had made it clear that day that if Zhang Xiaohua was willing to work in the fields, then go work. If he didn't want to go, that was up to him. During these days, Zhang Xiaohua was not slacking off. I also spent a lot of time in the medicine field. But that was He Tianshu and the others from the Pharmacy Hall. Now, when they have something to do, they pass all the work to Zhang Xiaohua, which makes He Tianshu feel a little embarrassed.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't think much about it and said, "It's okay, Captain He, just go ahead and get busy. I'll take care of all the work in the fields."

Just after finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly thought of practicing in the medicine field at night.

He immediately added: "How about this, Captain He, I can just build a shed in the medicine field and live there at night."

These words were originally Zhang Xiaohua's true words, but hearing them in He Tianshu's ears, they naturally changed. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, you don't have to be so exaggerated. I will also go to the medicine field when I have time. Don't think too much. This martial arts competition is a major test that every disciple of the Piao Miao 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. .”

Now that Zhang Xiaohua has matured, she still couldn't understand He Tianshu's meaning, so she quickly said: "Captain He, I am speaking from my heart. When the crops in Guozhuang are mature, we build thatched houses beside the fields. , so as to take care of the crops, this is custom, I have no intention of giving up."

He Tianshu had never been engaged in farm work, so he naturally didn't know, but he also believed that Zhang Xiaohua would not do anything to cause trouble, so he could only wave his hand and said, "You can do whatever you want. Anyway, I think what you did is a bit exaggerated. "

The two of them went their separate ways and returned to their respective houses.

This morning, it was a cloudy day with no sun.

But this did not affect Zhang Xiaohua's good mood.

To be honest, there is really not much work in the medicinal field, just shoveling grass, watering, and removing insects. I don’t know what is going on in this medicinal field. There are not too many insects, but the weeds are growing like crazy. The farmland in the village is different. It can grow a lot in one day without cleaning it. However, it is enough for Zhang Xiaohua to do these tasks alone. Sometimes Zhang Xiaohua can't help but wonder that the pharmacy has so many people in this medicine field. Is it because there are too many people in the Piaomiao sect and the cost is high, so they let Huanxi Villa raise a few people.

Zhang Xiaohua finished his work easily and practiced his Worry-Free Heart Sutra. This medicine field is a good place. Not only can he easily find the sense of Qi and introduce Qi into the body, but this place belongs to Huanxi Villa. In the forbidden area, ordinary guards, servants and others are not allowed to approach. Otherwise, Zhang Xiaohua would have been discovered by someone during the inspection last night while meditating next to the medicine field.

Zhang Xiaohua also easily carried out the task of introducing the Qi into his body. But when the vitality disappeared from his body, Zhang Xiaohua's heart suddenly moved and seemed to be touched. But when he thought about it again, there was no trace. He couldn't help but wonder. , what happened these past two days, I am always surprised, I feel like I am thinking of something, but I just don’t know, it is really puzzling.

While he was wondering, he suddenly thought of another thing. He had to talk to the owner of the village about building the shed. If he didn't agree, how could he make his own decision? Wouldn't that become an illegal construction?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua stopped exercising, stood up, and walked quickly towards the inner courtyard.

Zhang Xiaohua is now a popular person in front of the village owner. Everyone in the inner courtyard knows this fact, because Zhang Xiaohua does not need to report when entering the inner courtyard. As long as the village owner is in the hall, someone can take him in. But few of them knew the inside story, but this did not affect their good impression of Zhang Xiaohua. No, Qiu Ju took Zhang Xiaohua into the inner courtyard, blushing as she walked, and secretly glanced at Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua also wondered as she walked, whether she was also wiping her face secretly, thinking to herself: "Could it be that I didn't wash my face properly just now?"

But this guy has forgotten the good deeds he did casually in Qiuju Courtyard when he came to the inner courtyard for the first time.

When they entered the hall, Ou Yan and Yu Lao were sitting inside, talking about something.

When Ou Yan saw Zhang Xiaohua come in, she was very enthusiastic and asked: "Xiaohua, what do you want to see me for today?"

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "If you have free time today, come in and see Sister Ou."

Ou Yan said: "Who believes it? What's going on here in the medicine field, do you think I don't know? Now Nie Xiaoer and the others are practicing martial arts hard in the medicine hall. They don't have any extra energy to put here. According to your character, it's also If you won’t let go, you will definitely be busy in the medicine field, where will you get any free time?”

Zhang Xiaohua chuckled, without the slightest awareness that the lie had been exposed, and said with her hands raised: "Sister Ou is indeed very discerning, you can see all these little thoughts."

Mr. Yu also smiled beside him and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, you were so simple and honest when you first came here. In just a few days, you have become glib."

Zhang Xiaohua's face was slightly red and she said: "Old Yu, I see what you said, this is a sign of maturity."

Ou Yan said: "Forget it, don't hang out with Ma Jing and the others anymore, they are all out of tune. By the way, what's going on?"

Zhang Xiaohua said sternly: "That's it, Sister Ou, didn't you just say that there are not enough people in the medicine field? I think I am idle on weekdays. Why don't I build a shed next to the medicine field at night? It’s night time, what do you think?”

Mr. Yu and Ou Yan looked at each other, very strange. Ou Yan asked: "Zhang Xiaohua, I know you are dedicated to the villa. No matter how busy the medicine field is, there is no need to work all night. You don't have to work all night." too exaggerated."

Mr. Yu also shook his head.

Zhang Xiaohua explained in a low voice: "Sister Ou, it's like this. In our countryside, during summer or autumn harvest, we always build a straw shed in the field, both to watch the crops and to work nearby. I I feel a little homesick, so I thought of a way."

Ou Yan's expression softened and she said, "Zhang Xiaohua, how long have you been out?"

Zhang Xiaohua said without thinking: "It's been one year and four months."

Ou Yan said: "Well, how can a young child like you not miss home for such a long time? How about this? I will allow you a period of leave. How about you go home and see me?"

"Really?" Zhang Xiaohua stood up in surprise and asked, "Then, will the monthly payment be deducted?"

Ou Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "No deduction, no deduction, just treat it as paid annual leave!"

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "That's great. It would be best if Sister Ou sends me to Lu Town for business."

Ou Yanqi asked: "Why is that?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled slyly and said, "Isn't there still a subsidy?"

Yu Lao stroked his forehead with one arm, his face full of helplessness, as his sword skills were not supported by others.

Ou Yan said: "Okay, I'll let you go to Lu Town for business, and you won't build that thatched hut."

Zhang Xiaohua tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "It still doesn't work, Sister Ou, not to mention Captain He and the others are busy with things now. There is no one in the medicine field, so I don't feel comfortable leaving. Besides, I can't go home alone." Okay, I have to go with my second brother anyway, but it is very inappropriate for him to ask for leave now after he has just joined the Piaomiao sect. Finally, I still have something to ask Sister Ou. I am afraid that it will not be possible during this period. There’s no time to go back.”

Ou Yan was stunned and said, "What else do you have? Why don't we talk about it together?"

Zhang Xiaohua said: "I will talk about the rest after Sister Ou agrees to the first thing."

Ou Yan smiled, as if looking at her naughty little brother, and said: "Okay, okay, building a shed is not an urgent matter, I agree. But the weather is still cold now, so don't do it at night Frozen.”

Zhang Xiaohua said happily: "Thank you, Sister Ou."

Ou Yan smiled angrily and said, "Why don't you tell me something else soon?"

Zhang Xiaohua quickly said: "Sister Ou, the Piao Miao Sect is holding a martial arts competition now. I heard Captain He say that when he was young, he seemed to have seen people from Huanxi Villa participating. I would like to ask if our Huanxi Villa can also participate. How about participating in this martial arts competition?"

After hearing this, Ou Yan looked stunned and said: "Yes, not only our Huanxi Villa can participate, but even the Lotus Escort Agency can participate. When I was young, I also participated with the representatives of Huanxi Villa. but…..."

When Zhang Xiaohua heard that she could participate, she was overjoyed and said: "It would be great if I could participate. That's great. Sister Ou, I want to participate in this martial arts competition. Is it possible?"

When these words came out, not only Ou Yan was surprised, but even Mr. Yu was inexplicable. Mr. Yu asked: "Zhang Xiaohua, this martial arts competition is to test martial arts. Are you good at martial arts? Even if you have killed strong martial arts people, Man in black, if you can’t move a sword like that, it will definitely hurt someone if you move it out. You can’t use your sword to attack brothers from the Piaomiao Sect.”

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Mr. Yu, seeing what you said, how can I not know about this? I will definitely not be able to use a sword when participating in a martial arts competition."

Yu Lao said: "If you don't use a sword to attack you, what else can you use?"

Zhang Xiaohua said innocently: "Mr. Yu, haven't you seen me boxing? I must know a certain boxing technique."

Yu Lao was a little amused, but he couldn't bear to hit him. He just said: "Haha, I have seen your incomplete set of punches, and they look average."

Ou Yan was at the side and reminded her kindly: "Zhang Xiaohua, it's not that I don't agree with you participating in the martial arts competition, but no one from our villa has participated in the martial arts competition for a long time. Moreover, our participation in the martial arts competition is different from the disciples of the Miao Miao Sect. Others participate in the martial arts competition." The conference is for advancement. You can learn new skills, advanced boxing skills, etc. The representatives of our villa are purely for the exchange of martial arts. Winning is glorious, but there is no benefit. If you lose, it will be terrible. It’s so embarrassing.”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua understood of course and said: "I know, Sister Ou, I just compete with others for fun, not for any benefits. You also know my qualifications. When I practice internal skills, I can't feel the energy at all." If you can’t find one, even if you know that set of boxing techniques, you can’t hope to win against them.”

After hearing this, Ou Yan still said: "But Zhang Xiaohua, you have to know that if you participate in the martial arts competition, because you are not a disciple of the Piao Miao sect, you can only compete and learn with the first-level disciples. If... "

Before Ou Yan could finish speaking, Zhang Xiaohua interrupted: "I know, Sister Ou, I'm not just a beginner. It's easy to lose to anyone. It doesn't matter."

After hearing this, Ou Yan said: "Well, since you know everything and are willing to participate, I will find someone to ask how you can participate in this martial arts competition. After all, our Huanxi Villa has not sent a representative to participate for a long time. , I don’t understand the rules inside. However, Zhang Xiaohua, your spirit of overcoming difficulties is still very valuable, and I have to help you."

At this time, Mr. Yu asked softly: "Zhang Xiaohua, you just said that you can't find the sense of Qi when practicing internal skills? What kind of internal skills and mental methods are you practicing? Who taught you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua took out the book "Mang Niu Jin" from his arms, handed it to Mr. Yu, and told him that Zhang Xiaohu had helped him seek out the inner strength and inner skills.

Mr. Yu took the book "Mang Niu Jin" and read it carefully, then handed it back to Zhang Xiaohua, motioning for him to put it away, and said with a smile: "I'm just saying, I heard that you are lucky, and you get this book." I thought you had really developed your inner strength from within. It turns out you were practicing this book."

Zhang Xiaohua's heart moved, but there was no interface.

But Ou Yan was also smart, and she 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 what to say. Could it be that she really had to say where she was to draw the Qi into her body?

At this time, Yu Lao spoke and said very kindly: "Zhang Xiaohua, haven't you found your Qi while practicing this "Mang Niu Jin"?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded in agreement.

Yu Lao asked again: "Then did you ask He Tianshu for advice? He advised you to try more, or try it in an open area in the dead of night?"

Zhang Xiaohua was secretly happy after hearing this. It seemed that Mr. Yu had some misunderstandings. However, he couldn't find the reason, so he blamed it on He Tianshu. Anyway, he was considered his own advantageous master. A dead Taoist friend was not a poor Taoist. No matter where you are, you are 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 who can endure hardships and is not afraid of hardships, so I treat you differently. However, this martial arts is all about enlightenment, and in many cases, diligence cannot make up for clumsiness. If you have this intention, think about building a straw shed in the medicine field, so that you can concentrate on feeling the Qi in the dead of night. , I really admire you. When I was young, I didn’t have the same painstaking efforts as you. However, Zhang Xiaohua, there is a time in life that must be there, and there is no time in life. Don’t force it. There are many things that you still have to look at. .”

Yu Lao said "no" several times in a row, which made Zhang Xiaohua's expression change.
