C17 15 Difficulties in Childhood Wasting Each Other's Time
Liu Chong was surprised, but he could not refuse her. He replied, "It's fine, but I have never told these things to anyone. Even Sister Chen only knows a little about it. After you hear it, don't go out and spread it around. " Ye Keying grew even more curious as she leaned forward and urged Qin Lie on repeatedly.
Liu Chong sighed and lowered his voice. Because of his heavy injuries, he was still breathing heavily and said, "My name is not Liu Chong." With just that one sentence, Ye Keying's interest was piqued. The girl stared with her beautiful eyes wide open as he continued, "When I still don't remember clearly, I was brought to Luoyang City by my mother. As for my background, it was also something that she told me before she died in repentance. My mother forgot my name, but remembered that I had been given the nickname 'Bug' in order to feed it. "Now that I've chosen this name myself, because my father's surname is Liu, I called it 'veneration'."
"My mother said that my father was a bandit and that she was his third concubine. I have two older brothers on me, one is Sister, the older one is born to the first wife, the older one and the second one are born to the fourth house. When I was four, something big happened at home. When his second brother was playing with his elder brother, he almost drowned. When he woke up, he said that his elder brother had forcefully pushed him into the river because he was afraid that his elder brother would fight with him for a seat. Father was furious. At that time, Fourth Branch was in the midst of being pampered. He said that Big Brother and I had ill intentions and wanted to kill Second Brother. After father heard about the fourth house, he tied me, my brother, my mother, and my first wife up and pushed them into the valley to feed the wolves. " Ye Keying couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she heard this. She had never expected that Liu Chong, who was always smiling mischievously, would be in such a miserable state. He was even better than her.
Liu Chong looked at her and revealed a wry smile, saying, "Maybe God has blessed the four of us. When we were rolling down the valley, Big Bro's rope was broken by the stones, so he untied us and took us away from the mountain. Along the way, we didn't encounter any wild beasts. Without incident, we finally arrived at a village with people. In the end, we met the underlings of the fourth house that wanted to exterminate all of us. At that time, the four of us were all women and children, and even Big Bro was only thirteen years old. At this moment, the aunt actually took the initiative to kneel down before my mother, saying that my mother was young and had a strong body, and would definitely take care of her two children. My mother had no other choice but to agree and promise that she would take good care of Big Brother. "
"After that, the number of pursuers dwindled. The most important thing for them was to eat and eat every day. When the three of us arrived at Jiyuan, we were so hungry that we begged along the way. His eldest brother had suffered from the pain of his mother's death, and he had been in exile. He had caught a cold and fell to the side of the road, unable to stand up. As for my mother, my mother … " Ye Keying was shocked. She knew that something terrible had happened, and when she thought of the word "repent" that he had just uttered, she softly asked, "Did your mother just abandon your brother and take you alone?"
Liu Chong nodded slightly. Suddenly, Ye Keying saw two tears fall from his eyes. She couldn't help but regret that she broke his old scar so quickly.
Liu Chong sniffed, wiped his cheeks, and said: "Later on, my mother brought me into Luoyang City, and forced me to raise my family by doing some needlework. Perhaps it was karma, when I was eight years old, my mother also suffered from cold disease, dead. After hearing what my mother had to say, I wanted to learn medicine, so I took the rest of my mother's money and bought some medical books. In the beginning, when no one wanted me to be a doctor, I begged them, one by one, in front of the drugstore, or among the refugees, for those who didn't have the money to cure them. Slowly like this, her medical skills have finally become good, and a year later, Sister Chen came to Luoyang City. When I saw that Big Brother Qiu was injured, I took the initiative and recommended myself, saying that I could save him. " There was no need for him to say anything else, Ye Keying could already guess what happened after that.
The two of them shared their past and experiences, and from then on, they shared more of the same ailment, so the number of quarrels they had with each other decreased. Everyone in the gambling den clicked their tongues in wonder. After the two of them passed through Phoenix Hall, their minds gradually matured, no longer resembling the naughty and mischievous children of the past.
Time seemed to pass. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. Liu Chong had fully recovered from his injuries, and after a few days of recovery, Qiu Cai brought him to the northwest corner of the gambling den's backyard, saying that he wanted to teach him new skills.
As the two walked, Liu Tie remembered that he hadn't seen Xie Huan since the night he recovered from his injuries, so he asked Qiu Cai. Qiu Cai smiled but did not answer. Only then did Liu Chong remember that Xie Huan was still a prisoner on death row. Chen Wanniang was worried that the gambling house would be full of people and would not leak any information, so she sent Xie Huan outside to wait for the right time.
Even though he and Xie Huan did not spend much time together, they could be considered to have mutually indebted to each other. At this moment, when he thought of how he was going to wander around in the outside world, he could not help but feel a little worried, but he also felt a little regretful and said: "I wonder how well Brother Xie has managed to cultivate 'Immeasurable Slaughtering Technique'. When I meet him in the future, I will definitely think of a way to get rid of this evil technique's backlash."
Qiu Cai gave a "heh" and said: "Little Godly Doctor, stop boasting so shamelessly. Nothing was absolute. If the Infinity didn't have the backlash power, then it wouldn't have an inexhaustible amount of power. "At the end of the day, it's still the dispersing of energy that makes one feel clean and happy."
Liu Chong cast a sidelong glance at Qiu Cai, only to see a hint of disdain in his eyes. Feeling baffled, he thought to himself, "Eldest senior brother, why do you sound so sour?" Could it be that you're afraid that I'll cure Brother Xie, so you went to learn 'Immeasurable' from him and refused to learn any of the gambler's tricks from him? "
Qiu Cai slapped Liu Chong's forehead and said, "I'm afraid of you? Hehe, what a joke! Aren't you going to take a piss and look at yourself? You damned brat, you are born greedy for money, and you have many wily eyes. Learning from these gamblers' tricks is just right, how can you be worthy to be under their tutelage! Aren't you afraid that others will laugh their teeth off? " Liu Chong refused to accept it and said: "Don't bother with this. If you want me to throw my talent out into the open, I don't know how much radiance I will have to bestow to the Gambling Sect in the future. "Stop trying to be a good gambler. This gambler's trick was learned by a little kid, what's so good about you?"
Qiu Cai laughed, "Silly kid, after all this commotion, have you forgotten your senior Qiu's nickname in the gambling den?" Liu Chong was slightly surprised for a moment, but after some thought, he suddenly remembered something: Qiu Cai was indeed very obedient to Chen Wanniang, even though he was usually loyal to his brother, but he always acted in a official manner, and his methods were quite ruthless. In the gambling house, he did not show mercy to the people who made a mistake, and he did not try to get away with it.
"Alright then, your nickname is' Live Hades', yet you call me 'damn brat', aren't you trying to take advantage of me?" Having thought things through, Liu Chong's face darkened and he couldn't help but clench his teeth in anger. Just as he was about to rack his brains to regain the advantage, he felt a sudden pain on his shoulder, then his body lightened and he was thrown into the air by Qiu Cai.
"Don't move!" Qiu Cai shouted as he too stood up. Although he was merciless with his words, he still used the Rising Dharma Technique to protect Wu Tie's body like a shadow. Wu Tie was still floating in the air. He knew he was strong and didn't dare to move his body recklessly. Suddenly, he felt something beneath his feet. It was as if he was standing on top of a wooden stake. The square inch on top of the stake was limited, and he couldn't even feel his feet properly. Fortunately, he was still young and short, barely able to stand firm.
Qiu Cai stood alone on a wooden stake beside him, with his arms wrapped around his chest, and said: "Since you're already proficient in 'One Hundred, Eight Generals', let's just follow the pattern. The next step is to use the 'Four Seasons Palm'. Known for having only seven forms, this palm technique contained the power of 'Three Talents and Four Phases'. It was extremely unpredictable. Among them, if the mahjong cards, 'wealth' is the heaven, it is also the beginning; if the 'whiteboard' is the earth, it is also the closing type; the other 'east', 'south', 'west', 'north', 'medium' are the other 'five-five plum blossoms'. Therefore, in order to practice this palm technique, one must have the help of a 'quincuncial stake'. "
Liu Chong looked around and could clearly see that the wooden piles were more than two Zhang high, with twenty-five wooden piles reaching the highest point. If one were to look closely, they could see the strange-shaped Plum Blossom Pile Formation: these wooden piles were more than two Zhang tall, the short one was less than two feet, the distance between them could be big or small, and there seemed to be some sort of interlocking between them.
"I'm only going once. With your memory, you should be able to remember eighty to ninety percent of it." After that, you will study on your own. How could I forget? Then, Qiu Cai stepped forward confidently. Liu Chong focused his attention and did not see how fast his footwork was. However, in just a few steps, he had already floated to the other side of the quincuncial piles. In the blink of an eye, he had entered the center. With every step he took, it was as though he was standing at the same distance, yet his chest was beating and shrinking, and his body was as light as a feather, as heavy as Mt. Tai. The falling position should be where Liu Chong stood, but by now, he could already use Lightness Skill s as he wished, so after raising his Profound Qi, he turned his body slightly, then lightly floated down to the ground, raised his head and said: "Junior brother, it's your turn. This Lightness Skill is not very difficult, you just need to pay attention to breathing in and breathing in and out. "
"Just a moment." Wu Tie slightly closed his eyes and carefully recalled every step he had taken just now. After confirming that he had missed every step, he nodded his head. He imitated Qiu Cai and took a few steps forward. As expected, his position was not bad. However, when he reached the 31st step, his leg swayed and although he knew that his injuries had healed, his internal force was greatly reduced. If it was in the past, he would still need to be careful, but with his current inner force, he might not be able to dispel the force coming from his body. He might not even be able to stand firm before he fell to the ground.
Qiu Cai also saw the difficult situation he was in and saw the young man's thin body swaying on top of the wooden pile. He was extremely worried and quickly advised, "Junior brother, don't push yourself too much. "Why don't you come down first, and then fight for two days to recover your inner strength?"
However, Liu Chong refused to give up because of the bickering he had just had. He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'll show you!" Seeing that he could not persuade him, Qiu Cai continued to say: "Breathe in long and short breaths. Rage up your Dantian! Be careful, I'll catch you here! "
Liu Chong said, "You don't have to pick it up for me to fall off!" Saying up to here, he gritted his teeth and looked at the pile. Then, he threw himself forward and heard a "chi la" sound. Although he had climbed up to the pile, a part of his shirt had been torn by the barbed thorn underneath the wooden pile. It was still early autumn and the weather was still very hot. His clothes were very thin, and with this pull, he immediately revealed the skin on his chest. There was a patch of black and blue on his left chest, as if there was some kind of tattoo.
Qiu Cai raised his head and saw the picture clearly. It looked ferocious, with a mouthful of sharp teeth in its bloody mouth. It looked exactly like a hungry wolf. His countenance turned unsightly as he leapt upwards and caught Liu Chong, pointing to his chest, "What is this?"
Liu Chong replied snappily: "How would I know? It's been here since the day I was born! "
"From birth?" When Qiu Cai heard this, he was stunned. While deep in thought, he saw Liu Chong suddenly leap up. In the distance, he said, "Look, Brother Xie has returned!"
