Ding Kui has been in a bad mood these past few days and has never shown a smile. Feng Liang tried his best to make this junior brother happy, but unfortunately he lacked the means. It can be seen that Feng Liang's childhood was not so happy.

Ding Zhong bravely came to Ding Kui and said, "Master, I really couldn't defeat that woman. Her head was bleeding from the knock, so I had to take her daughter into the house."
"Which woman? Who is her daughter?" Ding Kui couldn't understand it at all.
"That woman is, yes," Ding Zhong has not been very good at talking since he was a child. He only opened his mouth to ask others for food. After joining Ding Kun, he spent most of his time training in deep mountains and old forests. No one talked to him, which made him even more unkind.
Words, "Her daughter is my cousin."
"Your cousin? Oh, that little girl selling flowers, where is she?" Ding Kui knew that he couldn't find out the reason by asking Ding Zhong, so he simply asked the person involved.
"The little flower is at Mr. Qian's place." Ding Zhong imitated Ding Kui and touched his chin.
Ding Kui was relieved when he heard that the new girl was with Lao Qiantou. After the incident involving Bai Ji Yin, Lao Qiantou would no longer let unknown people sneak into Ding's house.
"I'll go take a look." Ding Kui walked towards the courtyard where the guards lived.
Ding Kui's guards all lived in the same courtyard. Only Qian You and Ding Cai, who had been married before, did not live there. Jiang Shunchuan would not live there again after they got married this time. Ding Kui called it "the place of bachelors".
nest".
Old Qiantou is doing tricks for the little flowers in the yard.
Ding Kui was in a bad mood and would not take his anger out on his family. He did not disturb the old and young in the yard, but watched quietly from the side.
Lao Qiantou opened his hand, turned it back and forth, and said, "Look, the ball is gone."
Xiaohua didn't think it was that novel. She pouted, tapped behind Old Qian's head with her fat little finger, and said, "What's missing? You threw the ball into the hand behind you. Grandpa, you don't want it."
You bullied me because my nickname is Xiaohua, but my eyes are not as beautiful as yours."
This moment shocked Ding Kui. Old Qiantou was the Sunset Archer. His hands and feet were very nimble. He could do tricks as if they were just for fun. Sometimes Ding Kun and Quan Sihai couldn't tell, but this little girl actually saw it.
He found his flaw.
Old Qiantou smiled and blinked his small eyes, making it hard to tell whether they were wrinkles or eye slits. "Okay, okay, okay, it's fine as long as your eyes don't hurt." He also stretched out the hand behind him.
Come out and spread it out in front of Xiaohua, "Look again, where did the ball go?"
This old money man is not doing tricks, he is testing Xiaohua's eyesight.
Xiaohua was stunned for a moment. She put her stretched out fingers into her mouth and looked at Lao Qiantou up and down, left and right, "Well, why is it missing? I clearly saw you throwing it over." After that, she walked around to Lao Qian.
He looked behind his head and touched it with his hand, "That's weird, why is it missing?"
"Hahaha," Old Qiantou laughed, turned around, touched Xiaohua's head, then put a fist in front of her and said, "The wooden ball is in this hand."
Xiaohua touched her head and said: "No way, this hand just touched my head, where did the wooden ball come from?"
Lao Qiantou opened his fist, and a small wooden ball was in his palm. "Look, is this the wooden ball just now?"
"Hey, it's true. A gust of wind blew past the wooden ball and it appeared. It's so magical." Xiaohua picked up the small wooden ball and squeezed it to make sure it was not an illusion of the eyes.
However, in Ding Kui's eyes, Xiao Hua is the real magic one. This kind of blinding trick that relies on quick hands can hide it from others, but it cannot hide it from Ding Kui. His mental power is concentrated on the old money man, no matter how clever he is,
He can see through all the deceptions.
When Lao Qiantou was touching Xiao Hua's head just now, Ding Kui clearly saw the small wooden ball popping out of Lao Qiantou's sleeve, and Lao Qiantou took advantage of the situation and held it in his hand.
The change in the airflow caused by the small wooden ball flying out was actually noticed by Xiaohua. The words "a gust of wind blew" made Ding Kui feel very magical.
Old Qiantou's expression was not as surprised as Ding Kui's. He must have guessed in advance that Xiao Hua had this ability, otherwise he would not have caught Xiao Hua and performed tricks for her. When he first arrived in Xiaxi Town, he had not performed any tricks for Ding Kui before.
The mental power of high-level archers is much stronger than ordinary people, only weaker than magicians, and stronger than knights of the same level. When he first defected to Ding Kui, the old money man discovered that Ding Kui had very strong mental power.
So this little trick was never performed by Ding Kui.
"Haha, it's amazing. It's actually very simple. You can learn it too. Do you want to learn from me?" The old money man looked at Xiaohua hopefully.
Seeing the expression on Xiaohua's face, she wanted to agree to the old money man, but then she hesitated a little and said: "Mom asked me to learn how to do things well, and I have to listen to the young master. If he knew that I was learning these fun things, he would definitely blame me.
In order for me to have enough to eat and clothes to wear, my mother goes out to help others with work every day. I know that my mother is very tired and the smile on her face is much less.
This time the young master gave me ten gold coins. My mother said that it would be enough for our family for many years. The flowers I spent were not worth so much money at all, so we couldn't take the young master's money in vain. My mother said that she was not qualified to work for the young master, but
I am still young enough to learn how to do things. After I learn how to do it, I will repay the kindness of the young master.
If I don't listen to my mother and learn to do things and learn these fun things, my mother will be very sad."
Although Xiaohua didn't understand many things, Ding Kui understood what she said.
Xiaohua's mother was embarrassed to take those ten gold coins for nothing, and she knew that the Ding family was a wealthy family and it would not be easy for her to come in and work. On the contrary, a little girl like Xiaohua was easily accepted by aristocratic families.
After hearing Xiaohua's words, Old Qiantou felt a little distressed and liked this sensible little girl even more. He looked at Ding Kui and said: "Young master, she is here to repay your kindness. She will definitely listen to your words."
"Grandpa Qian, do you want to accept her as your disciple?" Ding Kui saw some clues.
"Yes, Xiaohua's talent is higher than that of my eldest apprentice. She is the best archer I have ever seen. If she learns bows and arrows from me, she will definitely be able to surpass me in strength in the future. Since she let me
I met you, I really don’t want to miss it, and I hope the young master will make it happen.” This is how the old money man started to love talents.
Ding Kui walked up to Xiao Hua and squatted down. He put one hand on Xiao Hua's shoulder and said, "Your mother asked you to listen to me, right?"
Of course, Xiaohua knew who was the one who gave her money. At the age of seven, she could already tell that Ding Kui was the master. Whether it was the eldest sister who gave her ten gold coins or the so-called "cousin" who sent her home.
She took orders from Ding Kui, who was the one who decided to give her money.
She knew who could make the decision and whose lap should be hugged, otherwise her mother would not let her sell flowers alone, and she would choose to set up a stall in front of the gate of Lu's Chamber of Commerce.
"Yes, you are the young master. Mom said that your status is the most noble. I have to listen to whatever you say." Xiaohua nodded vigorously.
After she returned home, she told her mother everything she saw that day. Xiaohua's mother was a sensible person. She had heard about Lord Ding Xiaohou, and the first thing she taught her daughter was to listen to Ding Kui.
"Very good, Xiaohua is such a good girl. From now on, you only need to do one thing well with me, and that is to learn from Grandpa Qian. Whatever he teaches you, you must learn. His words are equal to mine. You
Must listen.
If you can't do it, I will drive you home, and your mother will be very sad; if you do well, I will reward you with delicious food and make you beautiful clothes, including your mother.
." Ding Kui coaxed and threatened, and even promised benefits to lure Xiaohua into becoming the old money man's apprentice.
He knew that Lao Qiantou couldn't do such a thing, and it was a bit fussy to deal with a little girl like this, but seeing the pleading look in Lao Qiantou's eyes made him not hesitate to use some tricks to ensure that Xiaohua would become Lao Qiantou's disciple.
.
"Oh." Xiaohua responded with a vague understanding, turned to look at Old Qiantou, and asked Ding Kui: "What should I do?"
Ding Kui stood up, looked down at Xiaohua and said: "From now on, you will listen to Grandpa Qian, and you will do whatever he tells you. Xiaohua will not let me down, right?"
"Well, Xiaohua will definitely not disappoint the young master." Now Xiaohua understands, and she will just listen to the old man's words in the future.
Looking at the grateful eyes of the old money man, Ding Kui felt very accomplished. He said to the old man, "You can do whatever you need to do. I'll leave first if I have something to do." Then he turned around and put his hands behind his back.
He paced back to his yard.
Grandpa Kun accepted Ding Zhong as his apprentice, and now Grandpa Qian has accepted Xiaohua as his apprentice. These two masters have successors. When these two people grow up in the future, even if they cannot surpass their masters, they will probably reach the fifth level of strength.
, then at least my team will not be much worse than grandpa. Counting Feng Liang, Qian You, Dachuan, and Xiaozhu, if they can break through to level five by accident, who will dare to underestimate me, the Protector of the Country, in the future.
The depression of many days was gone, and Ding Kui's mood improved.
Not long after, the investigation report on Xiaohua's family was sent to Ding Kui's desk.
Xiaohua's mother's name is Shu Qin. It is said that she eloped with a man from Pingzhong County ten years ago. No one knows whether this is her real name.
Not long after Shu Qin gave birth to Xiao Hua, the man abandoned her and never came back, so Xiao Hua never had a name, only a nickname.
Women who elope are looked down upon in this world. After spending all the money Shu Qin brought, it was difficult to find other work except some manual labor. Life with Xiao Hua has been very difficult.
This time Ding Kui gave Xiao Hua ten gold coins at once, which was equivalent to a huge sum of money for Shu Qin now, which completely improved her current situation, so Ding Kui didn't blame her for her kindness by calling her a reborn parent.
