Creation and immortality: I can manifest endless talents

In the early morning, a large pot of porridge was cooked outside the city gate again.

The four members of the Gu family woke up on time, picked up their wooden bowls and went to the soup kitchen to line up.

The government officials had issued a notice yesterday that the soup kitchen would last for three to five days at most.

When the time comes, the soup kitchen will be evacuated immediately, and all temporary shacks outside the city will be demolished.

By then, they, the victims, will no longer be able to live outside the city.

Either they can return to their hometown with the government relief money to build a house and farm again, or they can go to the city to find a place to live and work on their own.

In short, the government has done its best to benevolent and righteous. If they persist in refusing to leave, it will not be blamed on the government to drive them away by force.

The four members of the Gu family got up relatively early among the disaster victims. The queue to receive porridge was not long, so it was their turn soon.

Arriving in front of the big pot for cooking porridge, Gu Dashan smiled humbly, and then handed over his wooden bowl.

The wooden bowl was very big, but the woman serving the porridge only gave him a spoonful.

Gu Dashan didn't argue and quickly gave up his position to let Gu's mother, who was second in line, receive the porridge.

Gu's mother took the lead, then her younger sister Gu Yingying, and finally it was Gu Yang's turn.

Sandwiching the two women in the middle will reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After receiving the porridge, the four of them returned to the shack together. Gu Yang squatted outside the shack, blowing on the hot air and putting the wooden bowl to his mouth to suck on it.

The porridge is very thin and has a musty smell, but for a hungry person, it doesn't matter what you eat, as long as you are full.

Gu Yang drank the porridge slowly like this, and drank half of it in a while. Gu's mother brought him another half bowl of porridge, just like the previous few days.

This was left over from mother and daughter Gu's mother and Gu Yingying. The two of them shared a bowl of porridge, and Gu Yang and Gu Dashan each took half of the remaining bowl.

The mother and daughter must not have enough to eat, but this is the custom. Gu Yang resisted at first, but he had no choice but to accept it.

Now he can only suppress this touch in his heart, but he is unable to change anything.

After finishing the porridge, if it was normal, Gu Yang would have found a place where no one was around to continue exercising, as he had done for the previous half month.

But today he did not get up, but continued to squat at the door.

After a while, Gu Dashan got out of the shack and called Gu Yang to walk to the city gate together. Gu's mother stayed in the shack to take care of Gu Yingying.

Soon, the two came to the city gate.

After Gu Dashan explained their identities, the city gate guards let them in without even confiscating the entrance fee.

…

This is Gu Yang's first time in the city.

As he walked and looked around, Gu Yang felt that everything was strange.

Vendors carry burdens and sell goods, and there are people setting up stalls along the road.

Waiters are soliciting customers at the entrances of inns and restaurants, and women in long skirts gather in front of the rouge and gouache shop.

"There are two completely different worlds in the city and outside the city." Gu Yang thought to himself: "Dad's decision is indeed right. If you have the opportunity to stay in the city, you must not miss it."

Although, living in a big city is not easy.

But nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing.

After walking and walking, the two finally arrived at the main room of the civil affairs department of the government office.

A humble smile appeared on Gu Dashan's face again. He pointed at Gu Yang and said to the clerk: "Master, this is my second son, Gu Yang. He is just fifteen years old this year."

"Yes." The clerk glanced at Gu Yang, pulled out a piece of yellow paper from the bookshelf on the side, wrote a series of words, then picked up the seal on the right hand side, stamped it, and handed it to Gu Dashan.

"Take the voucher and go to the Wuyuan in the center of the city. Your child can join the Wuyuan. But I have to remind you that your child is already old. Even if he enters the Wuyuan, it will probably take him three months. will be eliminated."

"I know, I know." Gu Dashan smiled, retreated all the way, and led Gu Yang out of the main room, then let out a long sigh.

The last time he came here, he already knew that the martial arts disciples all started practicing martial arts at the age of ten, and none of them joined the martial arts academy at such an old age as Gu Yang.

But even so, he had just experienced breaking up his family and fleeing, and there was a fire in his heart.

Why should ordinary people like them just suffer in silence when encountering natural or man-made disasters?

After joining the martial arts academy, even if Gu Yang couldn't develop any skills, it would be enough if he could learn one and a half moves and be stronger than ordinary people.

In the future, after Gu Yang gets married and has children, Gu Yang will be allowed to teach the next generation from an early age.

Passed down from generation to generation, he believed that one day, their Gu family would be able to produce a warrior!

Gu Yang didn't know that Gu Dashan had already started planning for him to marry a wife and have children. He was silently looking at the piece of paper in Gu Dashan's hand.

The embarrassing thing is that he has been illiterate his whole life. He doesn't recognize any of the square characters on the paper, and he can't read them in vain.

Secretly deciding that he must study and become literate if he had the opportunity in the future, Gu Yang followed Gu Dashan all the way to the center of the city.

The streets are becoming more and more prosperous, and the clothes of pedestrians on the road are becoming more and more luxurious.

Finally, the two of them were stopped in front of a ten-meter-high green steel gate by two guards at the door. "The front is the martial arts academy. No one can get close."

Okay, no need to ask, they are in the right place.

"Sir, we have something to do. My Erlang came to the martial arts academy to register." As he said that, Gu Dashan handed over the yellow paper he held tightly in his hand.

"Huh? Are you victims from the disaster area near Mangshan?" A guard glanced at the two of them in surprise and confirmed.

"Yes, we didn't choose money. In order to compensate us, the government allowed Erlang of my family to join the martial arts academy for free." Gu Dashan explained with a smile.

"Tsk..." The guard shook his head regretfully, and then said, "Okay, come with me."

After saying that, the guard told his colleague next to him, and then turned and walked into the martial arts academy.

"Yes." Gu Dashan and Gu Yang hurriedly followed.

...

Two quarters of an hour later, Gu Dashan left alone.

Gu Yang changed his worn-out single clothes into a gray-white standard martial arts uniform, and followed a tall and thin martial arts academy instructor to a large martial arts arena.

The martial arts arena is more than two hundred feet in radius, surrounded by brick and stone walls, and the ground is paved with green stone slabs.

At this moment, hundreds of disciples in their teens, wearing the same gray-white martial arts uniform as Gu Yang, stood in a square formation and were practicing a set of Zhuanggong boxing.

In front of the square formation, a bald strong man who was over 1.9 meters tall and wearing a black martial arts uniform stared at the movements of the group of disciples and roared loudly.

"Take a deep breath, three short and one long, turn two long and one short, the breathing rhythm must keep up with the movement, otherwise you can only get five points out of ten points."

"Put the center of gravity between the two legs, push and pull the tumbler, have you forgotten the formula for the Yangxue stance?"

"Master Qin." The two approached the bald strong man, and the tall and thin instructor whispered: "This is the new disciple, Gu Yang, his family is a disaster victim in Mangshan."

"Mangshan... I know, you go back." After replying to the tall and thin instructor, the strong man Qin Hu looked down at Gu Yang and said: "Congratulations, you and your family have made the right decision. You must remember that in this world, only by practicing martial arts can you hope to change your destiny!"

"Wait aside first, and I will come to you alone after I finish teaching these little guys."

"Yes, Master Qin." Gu Yang imitated the tall and thin instructor's address and responded respectfully, walked to the open space on the right side of the martial arts field and stood back, looking at the square array of disciples practicing stances.

Many disciples in the square formation looked at him secretly from time to time, their eyes full of curiosity, causing Qin Hu to scold him, but Gu Yang smiled back.

Half an hour later, the square formation was disbanded for a rest, and Qin Hu finally walked towards Gu Yang and said, "Come with me, I will teach you the Yangxue Pillar first."

"Yes, Master Qin." Gu Yang replied.
