After lunch, there were no patients in the hospital for the time being. Lu Zheng leaned back on the chair leisurely, already beginning to fall asleep, and then was directly awakened by Hu Zhou's shouting.
"Master! Master!"
Lu Zheng said angrily, "I'm only twenty-three, and I'm not deaf yet!"
Ever since Lu Zheng saw that Hu Zhou was filial and had corrected his evil ways, as well as his extraordinary talent, he began to teach him boxing, and he began to call him Master Lu Zheng.
Although Lu Zheng said that he had no intention of accepting a disciple, Hu Zhou never changed his words. What he said was too serious. This young man actually wanted to cry. Then Lu Zheng could only hold his nose and admit it.
This apprentice.
"Master! Master!"
Hu Zhou ran into the hospital with an excited look on his face.
"I said I...eh?" Lu Zheng sat up and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Have you developed martial arts skills?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Hu Zhou nodded repeatedly, then swung his fists, and the martial arts blood that could not be concealed after just practicing rolled out, rushing like the sea and thick as a mountain.
"Master, Sister Liu, I have developed my martial arts spirit!"
"Buzz!"
The jade seal in my mind shook, and thirteen rays of luck entered my account.
Ouch! What an unexpected surprise!
"Awesome!" Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up, "You are indeed gifted and have excellent qualifications. You are worthy of being a martial arts wizard who only comes out every ten thousand years. The peace of the Great Jing Dynasty will depend on you to protect it!"
Hu Zhou's face turned red because of Lu Zheng's displeasure. Liu Qingyan interrupted Lu Zheng's nonsense angrily and said to Hu Zhou with a smile, "It's a great joy to practice martial arts. I'll call my sister tonight.
Come and have dinner together at home.”
"Okay, okay!" Hu Zhou nodded repeatedly.
"Master——" Hu Zhou approached Lu Zheng again.
"What are you doing?" Lu Zheng leaned up, he was really not used to such a straightforward young man like Hu Zhou showing such a flattering face.
"Master, I want to learn swordsmanship." Hu Zhou said expectantly.
"Tiger Roaring Knife?"
"Tiger Roaring Knife!" Hu Zhou nodded repeatedly.
"Okay." Lu Zheng agreed happily.
"Ah? You agreed?" Hu Zhou was surprised and happy.
"What's the matter? Since you have learned the "Eighteen Styles of Dancing the Mountain", you can naturally learn the "Tiger Roaring Sword". Just don't throw away the boxing skills."
"Of course, of course, no, no!"
In the past few days, Lu Zheng often went to see Xin Zhanting for a drink at night. Naturally, he found out the basis of his "Tiger Roaring Sword" and did not prohibit Lu Zheng from spreading rumors.
Hu Zhou was born with supernatural powers, had an upright temperament, and was a good swordsman, so Lu Zheng had no intention of cherishing his broom. What's more, Liu Qingyan saved his mother, and now he works in the medical clinic every day, so his combat effectiveness has been improved.
In fact, it also improves Liu Qingyan’s safety factor.
…
After deciding to go to Liu's house to eat and play mahjong in the afternoon, Lu Zheng returned home leisurely, carrying another bottle of Wuliangye. After thinking about it, he went to the supermarket to weigh two pounds of elbow meat and buy three pounds of apples.
The elbow meat is okay, but as for the New Year, where did the apples come from... They were picked in the mountains. As for why they are in the mountains, how do I know? Besides, as a practitioner, it is not very reasonable to conjure some fresh fruits.
?
…
Evening, Liu family.
"Wow, there are apples!" Liu Qingquan cheered, took an apple and chewed it, "Crack!"
Liu Qingquan's eyes lit up, "It's so sweet!"
Lu Zheng handed a washed apple to Liu Qingyan, who took it in surprise and took a small bite.
The Red Fuji, which has been bred through modern cultivation, is sweet and crisp, with rich juice and rich sugar content. It is sweet with a little bit of acidity. In terms of taste alone, it completely beats the apples of Da Jingchao.
Liu Qingyan was surprised and delighted, "Lu Lang, where did you get such delicious paprika? It's better than any paprika I've ever eaten before!"
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Is it delicious?"
Liu Qingyan's eyebrows were smiling, blooming like flowers, "It's delicious!"
"As long as it tastes good," Lu Zheng said with a smile, "This is a different species I found in the mountains. It can bear fruit even in winter. I'll check it out every once in a while. Maybe there will be no shortage of fruits."
"Really?" Liu Qingyan blinked, nodded, and stopped asking.
…
As winter passed, everyone couldn't resist the fresh and sweet apples. They all ate an apple first and then served it to the table for dinner.
"Congratulations, sister, Hu Zhou has now cultivated his blood energy, and his life will definitely get better and better in the future," Liu Qingyan said.
Mother Hu was not very happy, but gave Hu Zhou a very complicated look, "I hope he never leaves Tonglin County in his life, as long as he is safe."
Hu Zhou is quite sensible now. Although he is happy to have achieved success in martial arts, he is not excited. After hearing his mother's words, he nodded repeatedly, "If I don't go out, I will accompany my mother and help in the hospital."
"You can still help me for the rest of your life. You won't marry me anymore!" Mr. Liu raised his chopsticks.
Hu Zhou curled his lips and said, "What kind of wife are you marrying? I don't think any of the men in the neighborhood who are married to wives are living a good life."
Mrs. Liu, "..."
Mother Hu, "..."
Liu Qingyan, "..."
Boy, the road is narrow!
Lu Zheng smiled and gave Hu Zhou a piece of elbow meat with chopsticks as a reward for telling the truth.
Of course, I would never speak.
Hu Zhou thanked Lu Zheng and ate the meat in one bite, "Master, when I was helping at work this morning, I suddenly developed martial arts vitality. I feel that the bag I carry in one morning can equal what I did for three days!"
Hu Zhou has such extraordinary power that he can do more work in one morning than others can do in a whole day. If he speeds up now, he will become a bit of a monster.
Lu Zheng shook his head and said to Hu Zhou, "When you go to carry the bag tomorrow, you are not allowed to show your martial arts spirit. You should just control your speed at your usual state. Don't let others know that you have achieved martial arts."
Hu Zhou looked confused, "Why?"
Mother Hu knocked Hu Zhou on the head and said, "Listen to your master, where did so many come from and why?"
"Oh——" Hu Zhou shrank his head.
"If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it." Lu Zheng explained to Hu Zhou, "For example, you were born with supernatural powers before, so a bunch of gangsters gathered around you and called you brother. In fact, they mainly wanted to see how well you could fight.
If something goes wrong, I'll let you go.
Think about it, just because you are stronger, someone will take an interest in you. If someone knows that you have cultivated martial arts and blood energy, then they will look for you just like a bastard."
Hu Zhou's eyes widened.
"So, if you want to go out to practice or join the army to fight for your career, that's fine. If you want to live a peaceful life with your mother in the county, then don't reveal your martial arts energy at will."
"Yes, yes, that's the truth!" Hu Zhou nodded repeatedly. He was upright, not stupid.
"Don't worry about money." Lu Zheng said with a smile, "Your master, I have money. When you are ready to marry a wife, I will pay you the bride price."
Hu Zhou waved his hands repeatedly, and Lu Zheng thought he was going to humbly refuse, but who knew that Hu Zhou actually said, "I don't want to marry a mother-in-law!"
Okay, it's still a bit silly.
…
"The tenth day of the lunar month has passed now, and in a few days it will be the Lantern Festival." Mr. Liu shook his head and said, "Time flies so fast, it's another year."
Mrs. Liu nodded, looked at the people at the table around her, and just smiled, "Have a good year! Have a good year!"
Liu Qingyan's face shone and she smiled without saying a word, while Liu Qingquan just clapped her hands and said with a heartless smile, "Spring Festival! Visit the temple fair!"
During the Spring Festival, everyone stays at home to celebrate the New Year. After the first day of the Lunar New Year, they start to visit relatives. When the Lantern Festival comes in the middle of the month, it is a festival when people enter the working state of the new year.
On this day, there are ritual activities for offering sacrifices and blessings in the Taoist, Buddhist and Chenghuang Temples. It is also the largest lively market of the year, and its scale is larger than the Qiqiao Festival.
The night of the Ghost Festival is the favorite time for adults and children to watch the lanterns. That night is almost the most lively night of the year.
"That's a good relationship." Lu Zheng smiled and looked at Liu Qingyan, "I have been working hard for a year, and it just so happens that we have a day off during the Lantern Festival. Let's go to the temple fair together and enjoy the lanterns together in the evening."
Liu Qingyan's bright eyes were full of hope, and she smiled, "Okay."
…
After dinner, Hu's mother stayed at Liu's house to play mahjong with the Liu family, while Lu Zheng took Hu Zhou home, then took two embroidered spring knives and began to teach Hu Zhou the knife skills.
An hour later, Hu Zhou and Hu's mother said goodbye and went home.
…
On weekends, Fulong Plaza, Lao Qingyu Hotpot.
Luo Jun turned her grief and anger into appetite, kept lowering her chopsticks, and ate fiercely. The others looked at each other in disbelief, so they all stayed with her.
After a while, Luo Yun put down her chopsticks and let out a long breath, "I'm done!"
"It's okay, it'll be over after a while. You're not the only one who has encountered this kind of thing, and they've all come here." Huang Xiumin was still as vicious as ever, "There's no need to live or die, it's pretentious."
Then Luo Yun choked on a mouthful of drink.
Lin Wan patted Huang Xiumin, and then advised, "Every time you take a step, you will gain wisdom. This is both a setback and a lesson. A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. This loss is not big, and there will be more to come."
Lu Zheng glanced at Huang Xiumin and gestured with his mouth: Take a look and learn from it. This is the correct posture to persuade others.
Huang Xiumin gave him a look of contempt: Dog man and woman!
Seeing that Luo Yun was indeed gradually recovering, Su Mengmeng couldn't help the flames of gossip in her heart and asked, "Um...are there other people who were deceived? Luo Liang deceived them?"
"It's not Luo Liang, it's Luo Liang's colleague." Lin Wan shook her head.
"Is it the one in the video?" Luo Yun asked.
Lin Wan's video went viral for several days. Both Luo Yun and Su Mengmeng saw it, and the look in Lu Zheng's eyes was very strange.
Lu Zheng:?_?
Lin Wan nodded and briefly explained the matter.
"There are training institutions overseas?" Tong Muxuan was shocked.
"Yes, there are both men and women." Huang Xiumin nodded and raised the corner of his mouth, "Do you want to learn?"
Tong Muxuan said sternly, "No!"
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere finally became more lively.
…
After the dinner date, Lu Zheng followed Lin Wan home and guided Lin Wan in martial arts training at Lin Wan's home. After letting Lin Wan do various postures for a whole day, he returned to Da Jing Dynasty and entered into a day of doing nothing and practicing.
It’s been like this for a few more days, the Lantern Festival has arrived...
