Chapter 3530 This Is Where I Practiced Martial Arts when I Was a Kid

After sleeping on a tree branch for a night, it was already dawn when I woke up.

Sleeping in the forest, especially on a tree branch, is definitely not as comfortable as sleeping on a big bed at home.

However, the two were not squeamish people. They had suffered a lot, so sleeping like this for a night was nothing.

They washed their faces and mouths with the mineral water they brought, ate something casually, and continued to move forward.

Along the way, they encountered many abandoned thatched houses, which looked like no one had lived in them for a long time.

Standing in front of a half-collapsed thatched house, Xiao Jiu lowered his voice and asked, "Master, haven't all the people in this mountain moved away?"

Chen Xin'an's face was not very good, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know either!"

I didn't expect that this place would become like this after returning this time.

Where did all those masters go?

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xin'an said to Xiao Jiu, "Whether there is anyone or not, we have to go to Master Wei's courtyard.

After I finish this matter, I will go inside to find someone and see if anyone lives here!"

Xiao Jiu nodded and followed him to move forward.

Coming to the crooked tree, not far away was Master Wei's courtyard.

But Chen Xinan was stunned standing under the tree, because this area was full of weeds and trees, and there was no house at all!

"Why are they all gone? There used to be quite a lot of people living here, five or six families!

Master Wei, Mei Sangu, Da Laba, Lao Niutou...

Where did they go? Did they move away a long time ago?"

Xiao Jiu stood beside Chen Xinan and comforted him, saying, "Master, don't worry, the terrain here is similar, did we go the wrong way?"

Chen Xinan smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighed and said, "Even if I close my eyes, I won't find the wrong location here, how could I go the wrong way?

By the way, let's go, let's go ahead and take a look!"

Chen Xinan ran forward with his backpack on his back, and Xiao Jiu quickly followed him.

Soon they came to a patch of grass, Chen Xinan bent down, and carefully looked for something.

"Master, what are you looking for?" Xiao Jiu asked curiously.

Chen Xinan didn't say anything, just lowered his head and walked forward, but he didn't walk fast.

Suddenly, his face showed an excited look, and he said to Xiaojiu: "Here! It's still there!"

Xiaojiu hurried over and stood beside him. He looked down and saw that it was a piece of bluestone with pits and holes!

"What is this... used for, young master?" Xiaojiu looked at the bluestone under his feet with a strange look and asked Chen Xinan.

Chen Xinan stepped on the stone slab and took a posture of practicing martial arts. While punching, he said:

"This is the training pile I have used since I was a child. The pits on it are all stepped out by me."

Xiaojiu was stunned to see Chen Xinan stepping on the stone slab to practice martial arts, and his heart was shocked beyond words.

"Young master, this stone slab doesn't look thin, it must be very hard.

How can you step out so many pits?

Even if you really have such a strong force, why didn't the stone slab crack?"

Generally speaking, if this kind of hard stone slab is subjected to a large force that will cause damage, it will crack and break.

It is a bit unbelievable that the footprints left by stepping one by one formed holes.

This stone slab is not tofu!

Chen Xinan's boxing posture is very strange, like he is doing Tai Chi, each move is very slow, but this is obviously not Tai Chi boxing.

Each of his feet landed in the holes on the bluestone slab, without any deviation.

Xiao Jiu suddenly realized and looked at Chen Xinan and said, "Master, is this where you practice internal strength?"

Chen Xinan nodded and said to her, "Yes! My internal strength was introduced by Master Wei.

He took me to practice under the waterfall in the back mountain, and after returning, I had to practice boxing and walking on this bluestone slab.

All the power that hit under the waterfall must be driven out of the body!

Over time, the footprints on the bluestone slab became deeper and deeper, forming holes, and my internal strength began to enter the room."

Xiao Jiu naturally had never heard of such a training method, but she would not feel strange.

The Chinese ancient martial arts have a long history, and every master has his own unique method of training his apprentice.

Just like when Master Meng trained her, he also used many unique methods.

"So, this must be Master Wei's courtyard, right?" Xiao Jiu looked at Chen Xinan and asked.

Chen Xinan nodded, slowly finished his work, stopped his posture, walked down from the stone slab, opened his backpack, took out the folding engineer shovel from it, and started digging the ground.

This is a big project, even Chen Xinan did not do it easily.

Xiao Jiu stood aside and wanted to help him, but was rejected by him.

This kind of pure physical work is not something a girl can do.

Chen Xinan dug a pit here all morning.

With the bluestone slab as the center, the area within a radius of five meters is the range of Chen Xinan's digging.

Each place is not dug deep, and the maximum depth is about 70 centimeters.

After working until noon, Chen Xinan's hands were already covered with blisters, which burst and bled and pus came out, and now it was a horrible sight.

"Master, stop digging! Drink some water and eat something!" Xiaojiu grabbed Chen Xinan's arm and forced him to stop.

Chen Xinan stuck the shovel into the ground and took the bottle of mineral water handed to him by Xiaojiu.

But Chen Xinan had a hard time drinking water, which was a natural action at ordinary times!

He was holding the bottle in his right hand, shaking so much that the water spilled all over his body and he couldn't get it into his mouth!

Xiaojiu looked distressed, took Chen Xinan's mineral water bottle with red eyes, put it to his mouth to feed him water, and said carefully: "Master, are you sure the thing is really down there?"

Chen Xinan sighed and shook his head.

He didn't know if Wei Qingyang really meant something else by repeating this. It was just a guess, and it was normal if he guessed wrong.

Xiao Jiu comforted him and said, "It's okay, Master. Why don't we confirm it again? You can make a phone call or something. It won't be too late to come and get the things after we figure it out.

Anyway, you can't dig anymore. Look at your hands. If you keep digging like this, the injury will be more serious!"

Chen Xinan sighed and said, "There is no time! There are only five days left. Three days have passed and there are only two days left.

If those things can't be found, Master Wei will die!

That gang won't let him go."

What's more serious than Wei Qingyang's death is that Hongtang will fall into civil war from then on, and then fall apart, and finally completely die out.

But Chen Xinan doesn't care about such a result at all, so he doesn't care about it.

What he is most worried about is Wei Qingyang's safety!

After hearing what Chen Xinan said, Xiao Jiu could no longer persuade him, but said distressedly:

"Then I will apply the medicine to you first, you take a rest, let me take your place!"

Chen Xinan looked at Xiao Jiu's concerned look, nodded and said: "Okay!"

Putting down the things in his hand, Xiao Jiu opened his backpack and took out the bag that had been prepared in Dongshan, which was filled with first aid items.

The two sat on the bluestone slab, Xiao Jiu took a bottle of alcohol and said to Chen Xinan: "Master, bear with it, it will hurt a little!"

Chen Xinan nodded and smiled at her.

Xiao Jiu gritted her teeth and poured the alcohol in her hand on Chen Xinan's open hands.

Looking at the white foam on the wound, Xiao Jiu felt the severe pain for Chen Xinan, but Chen Xinan's face was calm, as if he had no feeling.

From childhood to adulthood, the injuries, sufferings, and pains he had endured were countless, so what was this now?
