Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 15 The team grows
As soon as the two of them left, Zhu Ye's originally angry expression immediately turned back to being well-behaved.

"I understand! It's not that Brother Liu doesn't want to teach me martial arts, he's just afraid that I can't bear the hardship, so he asked me to do the hard work of chopping wood. If I can't bear it, then I won't make any progress by practicing martial arts with him! Haha, that's for sure! I will definitely stick to it and never let Brother Liu down!"

Zhu Ye seemed very satisfied with his understanding, thinking it was reasonable and logical, and he couldn't help but admire Liu He more.

Xu and Liu Qian looked at each other. They had not thought of this, but after hearing what Zhu Ye said, they seemed to think it made sense. They admired their He'er for being so smart at such a young age.

In the next ten days, Liu Qian and Xu spoke well of Zhu Ye and praised the child for being sensible. Especially Liu Qian, he praised Zhu Ye to the point that he almost surpassed his own son.

To be honest, Liu He was also very satisfied with Zhu Ye. Not only himself, but also Zhang Yong and Er Ni could not help but change their views on Zhu Ye. From being terrified of Zhu Ye in the past, they now give him a thumbs up, which also made Liu He make the final decision.

Early in the morning of that day, Liu He took Zhang Yong to get up early. After washing up, they walked all the way to the village entrance, ready to welcome their new partner.

After waiting for about half an incense stick of time, Liu He saw a young man limping towards him from afar.

Liu He smiled happily, pulled Zhang Yong, and ran over.

Zhu Ye obviously saw the two people, but he certainly didn't expect that they would come to the village entrance to pick him up. Tears suddenly filled his eyes, and he endured the pain all over his body and limped forward.

"Haha, Brother Zhu, you really keep your word. I, Liu He, admire you!"

Liu He held Zhu Ye and laughed happily.

Zhu Ye cried with joy, and suddenly felt that the past ten years had been wasted, he was self-righteous and bullied the weak, and today was the beginning of his new life!
"Little brother...little brother greets Brother Liu!"

Zhu Ye was about to kneel down, but Liu He held him back.

Liu He's fighting power is much higher than Zhu Ye's, not to mention that Zhu Ye is not in good condition now. After being supported by Liu He with both hands, he can no longer kneel down. He has more respect for Liu He in his heart.

"Hey, Master Zhu, oh no, it's Brother Zhu now. Although we are the same age, I followed you to learn martial arts first. You came later, so if we line up, I am the elder brother!"

Zhang Yong teased in a tone that sounded a bit like a child playing.

"Yes, yes, then I have also met Brother Zhang!"

The three of them hugged each other and laughed, extremely happy.

On the way back to Liu He's house, Zhang Yong found Zhu Ye like this a little funny.

"Haha, Brother Zhu, your situation has happened to me and the Master before. It's okay. Just follow the Master and grit your teeth and practice for a few days. Then, take a medicinal bath at night. You will be full of energy in a few days. After that, you won't be afraid of higher training intensity."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ye paused and a conflicted expression appeared on his face.

"This...Brother Zhang, are you saying that I can take a medicinal bath?"

Zhang Yong and Liu He were puzzled by the question. Liu He nodded quickly, but Zhu Ye's expression became even more confused.

"Alas, when I was a kid, I practiced martial arts and my body ached, so my mother gave me a medicinal bath to relieve my fatigue. A few days ago, I was chopping wood and my body aches even more. My mother wanted to give me a medicinal bath as well, but I thought this was a test from my eldest brother, and if I took a medicinal bath, it would be considered cheating, so..."

Zhu Ye's face was full of regret.

After hearing his explanation, Liu He and Zhang Yong also felt a little sympathy for the child.

The Zhu family was in a much better situation than the other two families. They could have taken a medicinal bath every few days, but Liu He felt bad because he didn't explain clearly and made them suffer for nothing. "Okay, okay, don't regret it. Every loss has its own gain. Brother Zhu has endured the pain of these few days, and his training results in the future will be twice as good with half the effort, so he should be happy."

Zhu Ye immediately perked up. He now had absolute trust in Liu He's words. As long as he could quickly improve his martial arts, any hardship he had to endure would be worth it!

The three of them came to Liu He's house together, went up the back mountain, and saw a large pile of "training equipment" made of wood and stone. As for the two spears sent by Zhu Ye, they were standing aside.

Zhu Ye asked with a hint of doubt: "Could it be that you two brothers have been practicing martial arts with these things for the past two months?"

Liu He nodded.

"That's right. We are limited and can't afford swords, spears, and halberds. So we can just use sticks and stones. It's the same. When it comes to martial arts, as long as you have the will, those equipment are just external things. It's better to have them, but you still have to practice without them!"

Liu He's words were so powerful and resounding that Zhu Ye was surprised again.

"My two brothers don't eat as much as I do, their weapons are not as good as mine, and they don't have a special martial arts master to teach them, but they are still stronger than me. It's really... really... too amazing!"

Zhu Ye has loved practicing martial arts since he was a child and has little interest in reading. He doesn’t have a large vocabulary, so all he can say is “too awesome”.

"Hey, Brother Zhu, what you said is not right. It's because your martial arts master is too useless and didn't teach you well. As long as you follow our young master to practice, I guarantee that it won't take long before you can beat your martial arts master when you go back!"

Zhang Yong's heroic words gave Zhu Ye hope again.

Liu He and Zhang Yong taught Zhu Ye all the content and movements of their training. Although Zhu Ye was in unbearable pain, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on doing it strictly according to Liu He's standards.

Not long after, Erni also came. She was not surprised by the appearance of Master Zhu. After greeting everyone one by one, she went to a corner to read a book by herself. Seeing that Liu He and the other two were busy, she did not disturb them.

"Brother Zhu, what herbs do you use in your daily medicinal baths?"

During the halftime break, Liu He asked casually.

Medicinal herbs are quite precious in this era, especially some of the more valuable varieties. Although the Zhu family has some money, they probably cannot afford high-level medicinal baths.

Zhu Ye didn't remember so much, he just mentioned a few of the herbs in bits and pieces, and they were indeed very common things, nothing compared to what he and Zhang Yong used.

"Wait for a moment, I'll be back soon."

Liu He said something to Zhu Ye, then ran back home. When he came back, he had two simply wrapped packages of herbs in his hands.

"Here, take them. Go home and use them to take a medicinal bath. This way you will recover faster."

Liu He handed two large bags of medicinal herbs to Zhu Ye. Zhu Ye was shocked and didn't dare to accept them, but Liu He forced them into his hands.

"These herbs are more effective. If you treat me as your elder brother, then don't refuse. I will write you the prescription later. In the future, you should follow this prescription when taking a medicinal bath. This way, you will improve faster."

Liu He was not afraid that Zhu Ye's parents would become jealous. The total value of these two packets of herbs was less than a hundred coins, which was not worth mentioning at all for the Zhu family.
