Chapter 23 Gambling
Learn martial arts with a martial artist and then compare?
Guo Zi'an and Guo Ziqian were stunned.
"You, do you want to learn martial arts?" Guo Zian asked, looking at Xue Qing.
"Yes, I want to learn martial arts." Xue Qing said, with no expression on his face. "I was not as good as you before because I didn't learn martial arts. I don't believe that I learned martial arts, and you can beat me."
Huh~ This is crazy enough, Guo Zi suddenly snapped up his sleeves.
"You really think you are so capable," he shouted, "If you say you can get the top scorer, if you want to learn martial arts, you can be invincible in the world. You little bastard, you can't bear it..."
He was about to hit with a fierce fist, and the servants behind him were ready to move forward, but Xue Qing was still standing for a while and not retreating.
"Why don't you dare? Are you afraid that you will not be able to beat me if I learn from you?" she said.
This made Guo Zian jump.
If he wants to say something like other things, he dares not speak loudly. He has learned martial arts since he was a child. He can do everything by playing swords, guns, swords, halberds, and he can draw bows and shoot arrows. He dares not say he is invincible, at least he has no time when he dares to compete with others.
"Ignorance little bastard, okay, then let you convince me. I will let you..." he shouted with glaring.
Guo Ziqian reached out and grabbed him and stopped him again.
"Hey, Xue Qing, you're not right." He said.
Xue Qing looked at him and nodded.
"What did you say is wrong?" she said.
Guo Ziqian laughed, pointed at her and pointed at herself.
"It is unfair to be able to compare with us like this." He said, "Our brothers have been learning martial arts since elementary school. Now you are learning martial arts. You will never be less than us. You will never learn this way of us in your life. Wouldn't we bully you in this life?"
Guo Zian suddenly realized, yes, this kid had the idea, no wonder the young master Liantang said that this kid was extraordinary.
"Okay, you kid, don't have the ability to do it. You are sharp-tongued..." He glared and raised his fist again, "It's true that he is a corrupt character. I'm beating you for the sake of heaven!"
Xue Qing smiled, but still did not retreat.
"Of course not." She said, "a three-month period."
Guo Zian and Guo Ziqian were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't understand.
"Three months, I'll study for three months." Xue Qing said again, stretching out three fingers to them, "We'll compete after that."
Guo Zi'an stared.
"Three months?" He looked at Xue Qing, then laughed again. The more he thought about it, the more he became more funny, and he just laughed out loud.
"I am really worthy of being the top scholar." Guo Ziqian also smiled, full of sarcasm, "According to what you said, you should be able to get the top scholar in martial arts."
Xue Qing didn't explain anymore or care about their teasing.
"If I lose, I'll be convinced." She said, "What if you lose?"
"If we lose, we will kowtow to you and call you big brother." Guo Zian stopped laughing and said with a cold face.
Xue Qing nodded.
"Okay." She said, reaching out her hand.
Guo Zian was a little puzzled, and Xue Qing had already raised his hand and bumped his hand.
"A gentleman's words." she said.
Bah, Guo Zian said in his heart.
"It's hard to chase after all," he said gritting his teeth, and turned around, "Come here, give him the best martial artist."
He looked at the school ground with his hips, then turned around and looked at Xue Qing squintly.
"I want to see what you can learn in three months."
Xue Qing smiled.
"Okay." she said.
This kid used to not speak, but he looked like a ghost, which made people feel inexplicably annoyed at first sight. Now he dares to speak, but why does it still make people feel angry? It's still the same kind of suffocation? Guo Zi'an gritted his teeth.
Guo Ziqian reached out and poked his arm.
"Brother, are we at a disadvantage?" he blinked and muttered, "We have to give him money to come to the school and find him a martial arts guru. What are we trying to do?"
Guo Zi'an was so angry that he had nowhere to expose himself, so he raised his hand and gave it to him.
"For fairness," he glared and shouted, "I convinced him and got out of here."
Xue Qing did not care about the shame and anger of the two brothers Guo Zi'an. She said a few simple words to the selected martial artist.
"Let's start with a simple foundation," she said, "Just strengthen your body."
The martial artist's surname is Zhou, and he is a veteran who has followed Mr. Guo to the battlefield. He knew Xue Qing, and just now he made a bet with the young masters, and he also heard the servants say a few simple words. At this moment, his expression was funny and speechless.
Xue Qing looked at him, and he also looked at Xue Qing. This child obviously had never practiced martial arts before. What could he learn in three months? It would be great if he could steadily stance.
These children are always big-eyed and small-bellied, ignorant and fearless. It is useless to say that they are a martial artist. Only when they suffer losses, suffer pain can they learn a lesson.
"Okay, Young Master Xue will do whatever he says." He said respectfully and distantly.
Xue Qing didn't care about the attitude of the martial artist, and she didn't want the attitude of the martial artist.
"It's too late today. I'll learn from you tomorrow." She said.
It’s easy to learn martial arts, it’s very boring. It’s not a habit that starts from a child. It’s good to be able to persist for three days. The martial artist responds with a bow.
Xue Qing waved to Guo Zi'an and Guo Ziqian.
"What are you doing?" Guo Zi'an said with a glaring look, "If you want to leave, don't be polite to me."
Guo Ziqian smiled bitterly. He probably guessed what Xue Qing was going to do.
"I promised that I will play with you and give you money..." Xue Qing said, stretching out his hand.
Guo Zian wanted to spit at his hand.
Guo Ziqian's eyes rolled, and he untied his wallet and poured out three money bit by bit.
"Give it." He said, with a little bit of cunning, and didn't say how much money he gave.
Xue Qing held his hand.
"Thank you, I'm leaving," she said, "I'll come again tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and picked up the basket that he placed aside and walked slowly.
Guo Ziqian was a little stunned.
"I want three dollars, too." He murmured, "It's so shameless."
.........
As soon as Xue Qing walked out of the Guo family's mansion, Xue's mother had already hurriedly found Nuannuan.
"What's wrong? I heard from the children that you were caught by Young Master An Ziqian..." She said anxiously, holding Xue Qing up and down, left and right, looking anxious, "Have you hit me where? What do you think?...How can you go with them...You can run..."
Nuannuan also stared at the puppy with a round-eyed look around Xue Qing, wanting to see what the difference was.
Xue Qing smiled and grabbed Xue's mother's hand.
"Don't be anxious, there was no fight, they wanted me to learn martial arts," she said.
Xue's mother was stunned.
"Learn martial arts? Why?" she said, "Didn't you say that you are studying? Why did you learn martial arts again? They are playing tricks on you."
Xue Qing held her hand and walked home.
"They beat me last time and said that it was because I was too weak and could not win, so I hope I could learn martial arts so that everyone would compete fairly." She smiled, shook Xue's mother's hand to stop her from speaking, "Mom, I'm not trying to compete with them. I think I am indeed too thin, and learning martial arts to strengthen my body is also a good thing."
That's true, Xue's mother looked at Xue Qing's thin body.
"It's all my mother's fault. I didn't feed you when I was a child." She blamed herself and sighed.
"It's not that reason. People may be thinner because they are with their family." Xue Qing smiled, "My father is very thin."
Xue's mother smiled.
"Yes, yes." She said, "Qingzi, since you want to learn martial arts, just learn it. Following the two young masters, they may get tired of it in two days."
She obviously changed the subject. Xue's father is no longer there, so she doesn't want to mention sadness, Xue Qing responds.
"Don't worry, mom, I won't let Young Master Zi'an and the others hit me... I'll run..."
"Young master, you still have to shout... They dare not call someone..." Nuannuan also came up with an idea.
Xue Qing smiled and touched Nuannuan's head.
The three of them entered the house, Xue Qing went to wash and change clothes, Xue's mother took Nuannuan to cook, and after dinner, the night fell down, and the lights were lit in the house. Xue Qing reviewed the books she learned today, while Xue's mother was spinning threads with Nuannuan under the lamp.
Guo Huaichun provides food, drink, especially lamp oil, no need to worry or frugal, and other elegant things like digging walls to borrow light. Xue Qing didn't have the chance to try it, and of course he didn't regret it. Who doesn't want to live a more comfortable life?
