The warm sunshine shines into a small courtyard, making people feel lazy and comfortable.
Two people, one big and one small, were practicing fists and kicks in the courtyard.
The smaller figure is a child of seven or eight years old. He has a pretty childish face with a little baby fat. Two light eyebrows, straight and slightly raised. His forehead is full of sweat, which flows down from time to time.
.
The tall man is shirtless, his whole body is steaming, and the veins on his arms are bulging out, like a angry-eyed King Kong.
The child was standing in the middle of the small courtyard with his legs tied in a horse stance. Under the guidance of the man, he was making moves with fists and feet, shaking his limbs. If there was anything wrong, he would be beaten and corrected immediately, which was particularly harsh.<
/p>
The two people practicing martial arts are Sun Yuan and his son.
"Zhengyang Dajigong has a total of four postures, each posture has thirty-two variations, and a total of one hundred and twenty-eight moves. Once you have mastered the correct method, proceed step by step from shallow to deep, starting with skin training, meat training, muscle training, and membrane training.
Step up."
"After the whole set is completely completed, your whole body will have the power of nine stones, and you will be able to rise and fall quickly. When you are exercising vigorously, your body will be as strong as a stone, and you will not leave any bruises on your body with sticks, which is enough to rank among the first-class masters."
Sun Yuan explained slowly while correcting Sun Huo's mistakes.
"This is a Kung Fu that lays foundations. It pays special attention to the foundation of the practitioner. In addition, it relies on years of accumulation. If you pursue quick martial arts, it is very useless. I practiced it as a father.
In the past twenty years, it has only been half-to-six percent warm."
Sun Huo listened with half understanding, followed his father's request, and silently remembered it in his heart.
Huh, uh, uh...
After about half an hour, Sun Huo finally practiced the four moves and fell to the ground. There were so many complicated moves, and for a child like him, the physical exertion was huge, and he made rigorous gestures all the way.
It was very difficult to get down.
"Get up, don't lie down here. If the air invades your body like this, you will catch a cold." Sun Yuan scolded loudly, while reaching out and pulling Sun Huo up from the ground.
"Go and heat up the pot of potion yourself. Once it's done, go in and soak it. Don't be lazy!"
"Yes..." Sun Huo replied weakly.
"Let's go, I'm going to start working in the shop. Don't make trouble for your mother." Sun Yuan turned around and told him uneasily while buttoning his gown.
I saw Sun Huozheng with an honest face, standing there obediently and looking at him.
After looking at the sun, Sun Yuan hurried out of the house.
Somewhere in the west of the city.
In a dilapidated courtyard, most of the walls in sight have collapsed, and the walls are mottled and peeling. There is also deep moss growing on it, making it even more decadent.
It's spring at this time, and people don't feel gloomy here. Weeds are growing everywhere, and there are a few small flowers blooming, which makes it look a bit lively.
On a fallen dead tree, a six or seven-year-old girl was sitting on it, dangling her little feet in boredom.
The girl wears a cute bun, and has a pair of smart eyes under the neat bangs. There is a hint of cunning under her eyes. If the clothes she is wearing are not white and shabby, she looks a bit delicate like a rich girl.
.
There was a rustling sound, and he quickly approached the little girl.
A "Ouch" suddenly sounded.
"Xiao Huozi, you are so clumsy, can you still scare me?" A crisp voice came from the girl's mouth.
"Hmph, Ah Jing, it's like you're the only one who's smart." An unconvinced voice responded from the grass.
More than ten steps away, Sun Huo came out. He was dirty, his face was black and white, and he stared at the girl on the tree trunk with bulging cheeks.
Ah Jing giggled, jumped down from the tree trunk, took out a handkerchief from his body, and came up to her. "Don't move, I'll wipe it for you. See if your face is dirty."
This girl named Ah Jing was originally an abandoned baby. By chance, she was adopted by a busker who traveled around the world. At that time, there was half a butterfly-shaped jade pendant split into two in her swaddling clothes.
Three months ago, Ah Jing followed her godfather to perform acrobatics under an overpass in the west of the city. Unexpectedly, she accidentally made a mistake and destroyed the place. Seeing this, her godfather was immediately furious.
Ignoring the crowd watching, he chased Ah Jing with a whip and beat her severely, causing boos from all around.
At that time, Sun Yuan and his son were doing something. They originally planned to watch the fun and make the children happy, so they asked Sun Huo to ride on his shoulders and watch, but unexpectedly they encountered this embarrassing scene.
When Sun Huo saw that the girl was severely whipped, he felt more sympathy in his heart and begged his father to help him so that the girl would suffer less.
Unable to resist his son's repeated requests, Sun Yuan had no choice but to agree.
Taking advantage of his tall stature, he squeezed two more steps into the front of the crowd and then stood still. He lowered his head and glanced at the ground, raised his toes lightly, and a small stone bounced up. He stretched his feet slightly forward and knocked it
Kicked out.
The stones passed through the gap between the crowds and hit the busker's ankles impartially.
With a sound of "Ouch", the middle-aged man who was chasing couldn't bear the pain and fell to the ground.
Because the stones were small and the shots were concealed, the onlookers were mostly focused on watching the excitement and did not notice anything strange. They thought he had sprained his foot and fell down.
Seeing her godfather suddenly fall down, the girl no longer needed to run away. Instead, she endured the pain and timidly came back for help.
Seeing the girl approaching, the middle-aged man raised his hand and was about to pull it away again. He suddenly remembered the strange blow just now and realized with shock that it was a warning. Someone was dissatisfied with his behavior just now.
I had no choice but to take advantage of the situation and go downhill, put my hands on the girl's shoulders and stood up, still yelling.
Sun Huo was still furious when he saw this, but Sun Yuan had already taken him with him, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd.
When he was far away, Sun Yuan calmly lectured: "That man has learned his lesson, but it is impossible to end in vain in front of so many people, otherwise he will lose the face to make a living by performing arts in the future. Tricks
Be bright and don't get irritable when things happen."

Sun Huo listened to the admonishment absentmindedly, looking back at the crowd gradually dispersing behind him from time to time.
A few days later, Sun Huo found an opening, sneaked out of the house, and came under the overpass again.
I saw that the original place had been replaced by hawkers setting up stalls and selling, but the busking scene of that day was missing.
Just when I was disappointed, I was suddenly slapped on the shoulder from behind.
Startled, Sun Huo took two steps forward, and then turned around to check who was coming. He saw that it was the girl who was performing that day, holding a package in her hand and looking at him with a smile.
"It turns out to be you!"
"It's really you!"
The two said in unison.
The girl looked at Sun Huo again and said in a clear childish voice: "Follow me." Then she walked away minding her own business.
Sun Huo hesitated for a moment, then ran two steps to catch up with the girl.
Following the girl, he walked through several streets. Sun Huo kept muttering in his heart along the way, and even wondered if it was a trap.
His eyes were rolling around, looking at the surrounding environment. Sun Huo felt a little relieved when he noticed that no one was specifically observing them.
It wasn't until she entered the abandoned house through a gap in the wall that the girl stopped.
After some self-introduction, the two of them knew their respective origins.
"How did you know I would come?" Sun Huo raised his doubts.
"Idiot." Ah Jing reached out and patted Sun Huo on the head.
"Although there were many people watching that day, you were riding so high on your father's shoulders. How could I not see you? In addition, although everyone thought that my godfather fell accidentally, I saw
Really, something hit him and he fell down. My eyes are sharp." Ah Jing said proudly.
"Yes, you clever guy, you must have been reincarnated by a rat spirit." Sun Huo said insultingly.
Ah Jing's face darkened when she heard this, and she waved to greet Sun Huo. Sun Huo was paying attention, jumped back and hid, and then made a face at her. The two started chasing each other in the courtyard.
.
From then on, we would meet here every three or five days. We kept going back and forth and became friends who talked about everything.
"Seeing as you are out of breath, you must have sneaked out right after practicing. Really. Here is this for you, eat it first." Ah Jing took out a sesame seed cake from his arms and handed it to
Got Sun Huo.
"Where did you get the sesame cakes?" Sun Huo didn't think too much, took it and ate it. He was really hungry.
"It's nothing, it's just a little change that I usually hide secretly. I thought you would come here after practicing every time, so I brought one to you just now." Ah Jing blinked and watched Sun Huo devour the food.
said.
"Practice is really boring, and you often get hungry easily. You are so kind to me, Ah Jing." Sun Huo said vaguely while swallowing the sesame seed cake.
"By the way, I made a bracelet when I was free and gave it to you. My godfather will take me away tomorrow to make a living in a new place. I probably won't see you again."
As soon as he heard this, Sun Huo was stunned and felt indescribably sad. It was rare to meet a friend who looked right at him, and he was about to be separated so soon.
After a brief silence, Ah Jing took Sun Huo's left hand and put a bracelet on him. The bracelet was very rough and made of blue silk thread, with a small bow-shaped knot tied in the middle. "I'm leaving. Practice kung fu with your father. If you go out to explore the world in the future, maybe we will meet again."
"Okay, I will definitely go to you in the future and play Gou Gou. You are a puppy if your words don't count."
……
Watching Ah Jing's retreating figure and touching the rope on his wrist, Sun Huo secretly made up his mind to practice that powerful skill as soon as possible so that he could go out to find Ah Jing.
Remembering his father's instructions to make potion before going out, Sun Huo took another look at the direction Ah Jing left and hurried back.
……
Sun Huo checked that there was no one in the courtyard, opened the door and wanted to sneak back to the side room to light the fire. When he lifted the door curtain, he saw his mother burning potion.
Soon, crackling and crying sounds came from the small courtyard...
