"Let's celebrate when we go back later?" Wei Ying stepped forward to tidy up his hair and suggested.
"Tomorrow, third senior brother will invite me to his home later." Wei He replied.
"Okay. Well, remember to bring the door-knocking gift."
"Okay. Sister, please remember not to stay up late when you have some rest."
"I know, I know, go ahead, I will take care of myself." Wei Ying smiled, with joy in her eyes and face.
Wei He looked at her and suddenly felt deeply that every move and every change he made had a small impact on the people around him.
If he fails, the second sister Wei Ying will have to leave this safe place and return to the previous environment.
But now, he has entered the profession, and his second sister has naturally followed him, staying here peacefully together, living a tiring but peaceful life.
Whatever happens to him is directly related to the fate of the second sister.
With mixed emotions, Wei He returned to his corner and began to practice the basic routines of Qi Huishan Boxing bit by bit.
He took the time to quietly look at the pattern of broken beads on his heart. All the black on it had faded away, returning to its original flesh-colored pattern.
"I don't know how long it will take to start saving again. It's a pity..."
Wei He sighed in his heart. In order to replenish this realm-breaking pearl, he had been saving for more than half a year.
"It would be great if we could find something that can replace money insect meat and speed up our accumulation."
He thought so in his heart, but Wei He also knew that even if there was such a thing, he wouldn't be able to use it now.
In the afternoon, tools began to be packed in the yard, and several men began to drive people away. Then they all saluted Old Man Zheng and said goodbye.
After completing these fixed procedures, Cheng Shaojiu took Wei He with him and got on the carriage back.
Although the carriage in Cheng Shaojiu's family is not a tall horse, it is still strong and powerful. It may not look good, but it is practical enough.
That's what I'm talking about.
These days, families with horse-drawn carriages are not ordinary families.
When he arrived at the Cheng family, Wei He understood this deeply.
Sitting in the carriage carriage, he looked out through the carriage window.
The red-lacquered gate has white walls and blue tiles. The two stone mastiffs in front of the gate are quite powerful.
Although he was a little confused as to why stone lions were not used instead of stone mastiffs, Wei He did not ask.
Cheng Shaojiu took him all the way out of the car. Under the concierge's flattering greetings, he drove straight into the compound.
The yard is the size of a school playground. There is a flagpole on the right side, with the black and white flag of 'Yonghe Escort Agency' hung high on it.
The flag kept flapping and rolling back and forth in the strong wind.
Cheng Shaojiu took him all the way to the corner of the yard, next to a weapons rack.
He pointed to a thick wooden stake covered with cowhide that was tied to the ground and said with a smile.
"Want a set?"
Wei He was making a breakthrough, but his strength was useless and his fists felt a little itchy.
"Then, try it?"
He stepped forward, stood in front of the wooden stake, and took a stance.
An abrupt right fist hit the wooden stake from the side, starting the first blow of the test.
Then he fired with both fists in succession, punching three times in one second. He punched for more than ten breaths before slowly slowing down, withdrawing his fists and standing up straight, taking a defensive position.
"The all-out offensive lasted fifteen breaths, not bad, not bad." Cheng Shaojiu clapped his hands aside.
Go to the wooden stake tied with cowhide, lift up the cowhide and take a look.
The wooden piles below are all covered with fist marks of varying depths.
This kind of wooden stake is made of special wood, which is very hard, far stronger than ordinary wood. Being able to make punch marks through cowhide has a completely different meaning.
If an ordinary person punches it, it is estimated that the bone will be broken and only a shallow dent will be made.
"Although it has broken through the cowhide level, the strength is not precise enough. You have to work hard in this direction next."
"I understand, thank you for your advice, senior brother!" Wei He nodded solemnly.
"Do you want to come and practice?" Cheng Shaojiu smiled, took off his coat, revealing the shorts he was wearing underneath, and waved to Wei He.
"Please." Wei He said nothing, stepped forward and punched.
Cheng Shaojiu made a move with one hand, opened his fist, and quickly fought back.
He was already at the level of stone skin, and his body was full of energy and blood, almost several times that of Wei He. At this time, his eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he was constantly blocking Wei He's attacks with every move.
The two of them kept moving forward and exchanged swift blows, constantly raising dust from the ground.
Fifteen breaths passed in the blink of an eye.
Cheng Shaojiu's quick punch hit Wei He's left shoulder, knocking him back several steps.
He laughed and waved to the nurses watching the show on the sidelines.
"Come here and practice with my brother to gain more experience."
Immediately, without saying a word, a middle-aged man jumped off the field and went straight to Wei He.
Wei He said nothing and began to confront the middle-aged man.
Unlike the previous Cheng Shaojiu, this person was a complete stranger. He first had to observe what he was good at and where to make the first move.
Generally, people who practice boxing have a well-developed upper body and strong arms, while people who practice legs have a stable but light and flexible lower body, strong and powerful.
But these were all spoken by Old Man Zheng. This was the first time for Wei He to actually face his opponent.
"Hey!" The man rushed forward and actually took his hands towards Wei He's shoulders.
However, although his movements were sudden, they were not considered fast in Wei He's eyes.
He suddenly discovered that after his Qi and blood reached the level of cowhide, his reaction and acuity of his five senses had increased to varying degrees.
This seems to be a passive effect brought about by enhanced qi and blood.
Wei He made a mistake and avoided the attack.
Although he was startled, his body reaction was much faster than the opponent's and he easily got out of the way.
Then place your right fist lightly on the person's back.
Bang.
The man was knocked to the ground easily.
"Two more." Cheng Shaojiu laughed at the side.
Immediately, two more nursing homes came forward.
However, Wei He easily dodged them and fell down one by one.
He was very measured. When he realized that his energy and blood had increased and his strength might become stronger, he did not fight back hard with his fists, but knocked down the person with only half the strength.
"Not bad! Your actual combat performance is much better than mine." Cheng Shaojiu clapped his hands and walked closer.
"How is it? Do you feel the changes after the breakthrough?" he asked with a smile.
He picked up a few nurses who had been thrown to the ground and asked them to leave.
"I feel it." Wei He nodded.
"That's it." Cheng Shaojiu said with a smile, "Mr. Zheng of Huishan Quan will not teach you any real combat. If you want to fight, you can come to my place to practice. My uncle's escort agency here has a lot of people.
"
"Senior brother, you're too polite." Before Wei He could finish his words, Cheng Shaojiu said with a smile.
"Don't refuse in a hurry. You have officially entered the profession now, and your blood at the level of cowhide is much richer than that of ordinary people. If you wear leather armor, three or two strong men can't get close to you, even if they are holding weapons.
So...this treatment is different from before. Do you understand?" Cheng Shaojiu winked at him.
"Salary?" Wei He was puzzled.
"Yes, you come with me." Cheng Shaojiu took Wei He all the way to the back room.
After passing through a large room with a double door, there is another training field with various sandbags hanging behind it.
There were a few people inside, shirtless, training in the sandbag array.
"This is a training ground. If you come to help me, I can use it for you.
In addition, you will be provided with free food for another month, with a basic salary of one stone of white rice, ten pounds of meat, and one hundred taels of silver.
If we occasionally have escorts, how about fifty taels for a short trip and a hundred to five hundred taels for a long trip?"
Cheng Shaojiu's sudden recruitment surprised Wei He, but it was also reasonable.
In fact, before he came, he had some guesses in his mind.
The fight just now can be regarded as proof of his skill. After his Qi and blood reach the cowhide level, he is indeed different from ordinary people.
"You can go back and think about it carefully and compare the prices offered by others.
Now that you have broken through and become a real expert, many people will come to invite you and ask for prices soon." Cheng Shaojiu said with a smile.
"Really?" Wei He was a little confused.
"Of course, in today's world, martial arts masters with some skills are all being watched. If you teach them some good skills, they will be invited and hired in a blink of an eye."
Cheng Shaojiu's smile faded and he sighed, "You also know that it's not easy for anyone in this world. Did you hear that the Hongjiabao outside the city has made big moves and no one is allowed to pass through the official road next to them?
Already."
"Hongjiabao?"
"Well, the largest wealthy family outside Feiye City is the Hong family. They built an earthen fort outside the city called Hongjia Fort. It can almost be regarded as a small city." Cheng Shaojiu nodded and explained.
"Don't look at how prosperous the inner city is, but the real wealthy families build castles outside the city. You will understand it when you see more in the future. Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's go, I will take you to experience the biggest thing I have here.
Welfare!"
Cheng Shaojiu laughed, pulled Wei He and walked towards another courtyard.
Not long after, the two people sat opposite each other in a small room.
There was a black wooden table in the middle, with two dishes and one soup on it.
The two dishes are twice-cooked pork with green bamboo shoots and cold celery.
One soup is stewed pig's feet with soybeans.
"Brother, if you come to my place, the biggest benefit every day is this." Cheng Shaojiu smiled slightly and pointed to the plate of green bamboo shoots and fried meat.
Green-green bamboo shoots are mixed with browned twice-cooked pork, and a little dried chili rings and garlic slices are placed in the middle. It looks very appetizing.
"Isn't this just fried meat?" Wei He raised his head and was confused.
"This is not ordinary meat, you can have a taste." Cheng Shaojiu said mysteriously.
"..." Wei He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece carefully, put it into his mouth, chewed it several times and swallowed it.
The taste is not flattering, it is too bland, and there is no seasoning. It is dry and completely different from the appearance.
It's just that the meat does taste chewy and fresh, not like pork.
Moreover, not long after swallowing it, Wei He immediately felt a warm burning sensation surging from his stomach.
"How is it? Do you feel warm in your stomach?" Cheng Shaojiu said proudly, "This is a unique feature of my Cheng family."
He picked up a piece of meat and introduced: "This thing is called silver-nosed black snake meat. It is a great tonic. Eating one pound can keep you from being hungry for two days. After it is cooked with wine, the effect will be even better."
Of course, we martial arts practitioners consume much more than ordinary people, so it doesn’t matter if we eat it every now and then. It is very beneficial to the growth of Qi and blood. And the important point is that you can’t buy it outside. This is unique to my Cheng family and we don’t sell it for takeout."
"Silver-nosed Black Snake..." Wei He picked up a piece of meat again and immediately discovered the real difference.
This silver-nosed black snake meat has a black outer skin and is extremely elastic on the inside. Blood vessels the size of a hair are clearly visible. If you look closely, it even looks a bit like a work of art.
"So, you and my brother, I will never lose you. You go back and think about it carefully. If you are willing, give me a reply tomorrow morning. How about it?" Cheng Shaojiu said seriously.
