It was still very cold in spring, but Lu Shu struck with all his strength with every strike, and soon his clothes were soaked through.
He took off his clothes and went shirtless and continued to chop the sword. Li Xuanyi suddenly asked from the side: "Boy, what kind of person do you think becomes a strong person?"
Lu Shu felt the changes in his body muscles while chopping his sword, and then answered: "A person who is so powerful that he ignores the rules should be considered a strong person."
Li Xianyi shook his head: "You are talking about the result, not the process. What I am asking is, how to become a strong person?"
Regarding this question, Li Xian took the initiative and said without waiting for Lu Shu's answer: "With one sword strike, you are confident that you can cut the sky. This kind of self-confidence is the true heart and instinct of a strong person. This kind of thing needs to be practiced."
It turned out that this was what Li Xuanyi wanted to tell Lu Shu.
There is obviously a quick skill, why do you have to practice chopping swords like a mortal? The purpose is to let Lu Shu understand how strong he is, understand what he can cut, and understand what he is through each chopping.
It can determine the life and death of many people.
The quick success may indeed seem quite intimidating, but without the necessary process and you have no idea of your own strength, you will lack self-confidence.
Li Xianyi suddenly asked: "If one day you have great power, will you be willing to take on greater responsibilities?"
"A bigger responsibility?" Lu Shu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "My responsibility is to live well and take good care of Lu Xiaoyu. If other responsibilities are given to me by others, I will not accept them.
."
He may have subconsciously discovered what Li Xianyi wanted him to do in the future, and then subconsciously refused.
Lu Shu stopped chopping the sword in his hand and looked at Li Xuanyi. Li Xuanyi asked calmly: "But by then you will not only be able to take good care of your sister, but you will also have the energy to help others."
"But what does that have to do with me? I have never relied on them in my growth. Maybe Uncle Li who sells breakfast together is in danger and I will save them. But for others, I believe that a person can do things based on his heart.
, you will live better," Lu Shu shook his head.
He is no longer a child. Because of poverty and suffering, he already had his own world view, outlook on life and values, and he will not change it with a few simple words.
Yes, he has been an orphan since he was a child, and even his parents have not fulfilled their obligations to him. So why can others say to him that the wise can help the world, but he does not accept it.
Lu Shu handed it out, meaning that if I don't meet your requirements and agree to your conditions, then you don't have to teach me swordsmanship.
Therefore, he would rather not learn swordsmanship and continue to explore the mysterious star map by himself, even if he is a little tired and slow, rather than take on any inexplicable responsibilities.
This is Lu Shu's own principle. Since I cannot meet your requirements, I will not covet your swordsmanship.
Li Xuanyi did not take back the iron sword, but said calmly: "Don't be so extreme."
This stubborn young man has struggled to survive for so many years, and even good-hearted people who wanted to give him alms were rejected. Li Xianyi admired this stubbornness, but at this time it became the biggest stumbling block for his future plans.
The foundation has a great ambition, but not everyone can inherit it. The position of director that originally belonged to him will be permanently vacant if he does not find someone to inherit it when he dies.
Lu Shu shook his head: "It's not that I'm unhappy, I don't have any psychological shadow, and I haven't suffered much. Compared to many people, these experiences of mine are nothing. It's just that my life has been a bit bumpy. It's just,
Just living in this world is already very difficult for me.”
"So I'm sorry, I haven't planned to have any lofty ideals yet."
It was at this moment that Li Xianyi suddenly realized that this boy might never be used by the foundation. This boy seemed to be stubbornly fighting against the world. No matter what he encountered, he was more willing to survive in his own way, and
Not the way others give.
Li Xianyi understood that Lu Shu could never join the foundation because of his different beliefs.
He sighed: "From today on, I will not be your master and accept you as my disciple, but I can continue to teach you swordsmanship."
In Lu Shu's confused eyes, Li Xianyi added another sentence: "I'll give you all my money, but I have one condition. Don't worry, I won't let you take on inexplicable responsibilities. It's a private matter of mine."
This time, it was not for the foundation, nor for ideals, but just for Lu Shu's stubbornness.
Li Xuanyi also wanted to see where this young man could go on his own.
Lu Shu thought for five minutes and finally answered: "Okay."
…
After the sword splitting was over, Lu Shu went home and cooked for Lu Xiaoyu. When the two of them were eating, Lu Shu did not mention the differences between him and Li Xianyi to Lu Xiaoyu. However, it was Li Xianyi's willingness to continue to teach each other that made Lu Shu
The tree was very surprised.
Lu Shu felt that it was not a loss to exchange his personal conditions for a swordsmanship that suited him.
Breakfast is a poached egg per person, a bowl of porridge, and a pancake per person.
The making of pancakes is actually very simple. Beat flour and eggs with water into a thin paste, add some chopped green onion, pour it into a pan with hot oil and stir until cooked.
Lu Xiaoyu has always liked eating multi-layered hand cakes, but Lu Shu has never learned how to do it. The hand cakes sold by the aunt outside are semi-finished hand cakes wholesale directly from the supermarket, so he has no place to learn.
Occasionally, if Lu Xiaoyu really wants to eat, he will go to the supermarket to buy some semi-finished products and store them in the refrigerator freezer.
As soon as Lu Shu went out to sell stinky tofu, the light bulb in the living room started to flicker and flicker. This meant that the life of the light bulb had reached its limit.
Lu Xiaoyu looked up at the light bulb for a long time, then opened the door and ran next door to find Li Xuanyi: "The light bulb in my living room is broken, please help me change it."
Li Xian was delighted and immediately agreed, taking a ladder and following Lu Xiaoyu to change the light bulb.
He suddenly thought, since it was impossible for Lu Shu to join the foundation, maybe Lu Xiaoyu would be willing? Although Lu Xiaoyu said he didn't want to learn swordsmanship, after all, under the premise of being angry, the children's grudges would be forgotten.
Soon, no matter what, difficulties will come to you. This is progress.
Maybe if we get along for a while, Lu Xiaoyu will be willing to learn the sword?
After Li Xian turned off the switch of the light bulb, he climbed up with the ladder. While twisting the light bulb, he asked casually: "Why don't you let Lu Shu change the light bulb?"
Lu Xiaoyu said while putting away the dishes: "What if he gets electrocuted?"
Li Xuanyi: "???"
"The negative emotion value from Li Xianyi, +388!"
