Chapter 12, What kind of world is this?(1/2)
"Martial Master Xu who teaches in the outer courtyard of Qinglong Martial Arts Academy? He is coming over? Really?" Minghai couldn't believe what he heard.
When Minghai's father was still alive, he told him more than once that his lifelong dream was to become a martial artist.
How strong is the combat effectiveness of a martial artist?
One person can defeat at least a thousand people who are not martial arts masters!
Unfortunately, becoming a martial artist is not only about talent, but also about opportunity and money.
The total number of martial arts masters in the entire Yuezhao Kingdom was only a few thousand. Of course, Minghai's father didn't know about these, and Minghai didn't know either.
Minghai only knows that martial arts masters are very powerful. His father can fight ten people one at a time, and martial arts masters can fight hundreds of people like his father alone.
"Really! The captain wrote in person!" The village chief patted Ming Hai on the shoulder, "Okay, you can relax for now. Be careful these five days and go out as little as possible. Master Xu will come in five days and everything will be over.
Don’t worry anymore.”
The village chief said before that when he wrote to the captain, although Minghai was comforted, he did not receive a reply, did not hear the specific name, and did not know the specific time of arrival. Minghai's heart was always hanging in the air. Now,
Finally stepped on the ground.
The fear and despair that filled his heart instantly dissipated a lot, and the heavy burden that weighed down his shoulders seemed to have been lifted by more than half.
The sudden relief and happiness made nine-year-old Minghai's eyes turn red.
"Okay, okay, let's go back. I'll tell Grandpa Mute and let him work harder these five days."
The village chief said: "As for your second noble uncle, I also told him to make more wooden spears to defend you first."
"Thank you, village chief." Minghai said gratefully.
Mingying was lying by the window, looking eagerly at the village chief and Minghai who were talking in the distance. Seeing that the two seemed to have ended their conversation and were walking home, she hurried to the bed, climbed onto the bed on a stool, and closed her eyes.
Pretending to sleep.
Mingying wanted to follow them secretly just now, but the village chief and Minghai didn't go very far like last time, and the place where they stood was relatively empty, so she couldn't hide people, so she had to give up.
Hearing the sound of Minghai pushing the door open, Mingying pretended to have just woken up, rubbed her eyes and sat up, "Brother, you are back."
Minghai apologized: "Sister, I'm sorry for asking you to take a rest."
"The porridge should be ready soon. Get up and eat something first, then go to bed later."
Mingying obediently lifted the quilt, and Minghai walked over to help her put on her shoes. Mingying found that the aura of fear and despair that Minghai had before death was much lighter, and the look between his eyebrows relaxed a lot.
"Brother, what does the village chief want from you?" Mingying knew that Minghai wouldn't tell, so she couldn't help but ask.
After Minghai put on her shoes, he took her out of bed, touched her head and said softly: "It's nothing important."
But he was thinking about what the village chief said just now. He only had to protect his brothers and sisters for five days, and they would be safe for the time being.
He will definitely protect them to the death! Minghai swore secretly in his heart.
He stood up, held Mingying's hand, "Let's go to the kitchen, the porridge should be ready."
Mingying sighed in her heart and could only console herself that what the village chief said today was probably good news, otherwise Minghai's aura would not have changed so much.
Ming Tao and Ming Ze had already cooked the porridge, and Ming Hai was about to share the porridge when Ming Ying said in a soft voice: "Brother, don't load too much for me, I want some porridge and water."
Although she was very hungry, Minghai and the three people working there were definitely hungrier. Mingying didn't want Minghai to drink the porridge and water by himself, so she gave all the porridge to her.
Minghai smiled and said: "Okay."
He didn't doubt it much, because Mingying used to eat very little.
Minghai still gave himself the smallest share. He handed the bowl to his younger brothers and sisters and said, "Second brother and third brother, we won't go up the mountain in the afternoon. The village chief said we will practice this afternoon."
Both men and women in Yuezhao Kingdom go to war. Men go to the battlefield at the age of thirteen, and women go to the battlefield at the age of fifteen or after they get married and give birth to their first child.
In order to survive as much as possible on the battlefield, they must start practicing when they are children.
Children aged five to ten years old practice together once a week, and those over ten years old practice together with the adults in the village twice a week.
Ming Tao smiled happily and said, "It's great that I can learn to fight again!"
"Stupid second brother! That's a move to learn to kill the enemy!" Mingze said.
Ming Tao snorted: "That's also a fight!"
Ming Ying said: "Brothers, I want to follow you and have a look, is that okay?"
Now that she has come to this world, if she wants to live well, she must understand this era as soon as possible.
The original owner knew too little and was too young. Even if Minghai and the others knew something, they would not tell her.
What's more, given their age, they may have only been to the town as far away as possible, so their knowledge is limited.
Mingying could only explore on her own bit by bit.
"Of course." Minghai smiled.
In the past, Minghai would never take her there, but now it's different. The four brothers and sisters must stay together as much as possible.
Ming Tao said happily: "Yeah, that's great! Sister, I will carry you!"
"Thank you, second brother." Mingying smiled sweetly and said, "But I can walk by myself! I'm full and have the strength to walk."
The training place is in a flat open space next to the village chief's house.
The open space seemed to have been specially tidied up. It was flat and spacious enough for hundreds of people to practice together.
When Mingying and others arrived, there were already many people warming up there.
Children hold straight branches, while adults hold sticks.
Minghai took Mingying to the place where children under five years old gathered. Looking at the little guys with runny noses and saliva, Mingying felt full of resistance.
She didn't want to admit that she and these little guys were in the same group.
"Girl Yingying is really much better!" The adults who thought Mingying had returned to her glory yesterday said in surprise when they saw Mingying.
Mingying's body was completely different, and her spirit and energy had undergone earth-shaking changes every day. Apart from being extra thin, she looked almost like a normal child.
The adults all exclaimed, "Girl Sakura will definitely be blessed in the future."
"Yes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later."
The three Minghai brothers were particularly happy to hear this. They like others to praise their sister the most.
More and more people came. Mingying saw Aunt Chen, Aunt Luo, Grandma Luo and Grandpa Dumb.
Mingying remembered that when her original grandmother was around, she would also participate in the training.
What kind of world is this? Even semi-disabled people in their sixties are always ready to go to the battlefield again!
At this time the village chief came, and he shouted angrily, "The drill begins!"
The adults and children separated into two groups and quickly lined up.
Mingying discovered that the oldest child in the village was Minghai, but even children of several years old stood up in line and moved very quickly and neatly.
Not to mention the adults, they all came down from the battlefield. As they stood there, their smiles faded and their demeanor changed 180 degrees, full of chilling air.
That invisible murderous aura made Mingying feel extremely familiar and nostalgic. She resonated with it and the blood in her body began to boil.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The shouts were loud, and no one regarded the training as a joke. They stabbed, chopped, and picked, as if they were actually facing the enemy on the battlefield.
From a professional perspective as a killer, Mingying felt that their actions were too simple, but she was still infected and couldn't help but follow them by waving her arms.
Two quarters of an hour later, the village chief announced that they should take a break, and the three brothers Minghai immediately ran towards Mingying.
Because he had just exercised, his face was flushed. Ming Tao looked like he was begging for praise, "Sister, did the second brother play well just now?"
Mingying praised: "It looks good, the second brother is great, the eldest brother and the third brother are also great!"
She raised her thumbs up as she spoke, and Ming Tao smiled with joy.
"Sister, it's because the eldest brother didn't think carefully. Next time I will bring a small stool for you to sit and watch," Minghai said.
The children who come here to watch the drills are all children over three years old. This is the life they will face in the future. It seems to let them adapt in advance.
If other children came with stools and sat there as if watching a performance, Minghai would definitely sneer and think it was too squeamish. But if it were his sister, Minghai felt that this should be the case.
Mingying smiled and said: "Okay!"
Luo Shitou helped Grandma Luo over, "Girl Ying, let me take a look."
"Grandma Luo." Mingying called obediently and walked to Grandma Luo.
Grandma Luo looked at her carefully and said, "Dafu said you are much better, but I still don't believe it. Now I see you are much better!"
Dafu is the name of the village chief, Luo Dafu.
"It's not in vain that your brothers spent all their money to treat your illness," Grandma Luo said with emotion: "Girl Ying, your life was given by your brothers. You must live well and repay your brothers when you grow up."
Mingying said obediently: "I know, Grandma Luo, I will repay my brothers."
Luo Shitou interjected from the side: "Mingying, in order to treat your illness, your brothers even spent all their money to learn kung fu from the master!"
