The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 18 Winter Solstice

Looking at the iron rod in his hand, and looking at the sweat on Zhao Changhe's forehead in this winter, Sun Jiaoxi knew how much hard work this young man had put in for this knife. This is not a talent. In the past twenty days, except for eating, sleeping and occasionally sneaking out to take a bath, this guy has been practicing all the time.

That day I walked past God, and then I punished myself three thousand times.

This kind of attitude, Sun Jiaoxi has brought so many gangsters in his life, he has never seen it... It feels like a tiger is chasing him, running desperately.

In just twenty days, there should have been no change in the appearance of a person, and there were some green beards, but Zhao Changhe's face became more resolute and steady, and there was a hint of brilliance in his eyes. It can also reveal a fierce hostility.

The muscles on his body are also more solid, majestic and well-defined, full of masculine beauty.

The aesthetics in the cottage are the most so, plus the scar on his face that highlights the fierce masculinity, Zhao Changhe is simply recognized as the most beautiful man in Beimang cottage...

On the contrary, the surname Luo in his room is not looked down upon very much, like a rabbit. If it weren't for living with Zhao Changhe, maybe someone would have teased him, but of course he didn't dare now, but he secretly murmured that it was Boss Zhao's personal pet, and he might have played it long ago.

Because the gangsters who refused to accept Zhao Changhe in the village were almost beaten up, including some old church members who came to bully others. Anyway, there are people on the top who are looking for trouble and have the support of Sun Jiaoxi. There are a bunch of dog legs around.

Because of this kind of thing, he not only learned the knife, but also learned some fists and kicks. After all, internal fights cannot always use the knife.

Look at the wine gourd on his waist... Now Luo Qi is not needed to change his wine, it is filled with the wine offered by his younger brothers every day - unlike him who is wanted and cannot get out, others will naturally go to the city to play, There are also a lot of people who have been cheated and robbed without money, and now Zhao Changhe may be the only one who has never been out of the mountain.

Judging by the way he looked up and drinking alcohol excitedly because he successfully completed the assessment, he was already somewhat heroic.

Sun Jiaoxi admired such a man very much in his heart, and his compatibility was too good: "Changhe, it's almost time, you go back tonight, try to break through the first level of blood evil art, and see if you can advance to the first level. I have already pointed out the gist of it to you , I believe you remember."

Zhao Changhe clasped his fists excitedly: "Remember."

"This medicine will help you to break through." Sun Jiaoxi handed over a pill meaningfully: "Go, I hope you will be able to learn Xuesha Dao starting tomorrow."

…………

"Hey, handsome boy, Xiaobawang, are you back?"

Back at the house, Luo Qi was there early today, pretending to brush the chair, and invited Zhao Changhe to sit down like a dog's leg.

Zhao Changhe just sat down on the horse and said with a smile: "Some good things have happened again, let's talk about it happily."

"How do you know it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing?"

"You'll play tricks when you're in a good mood. When you're in a bad mood, be as serious as I owe you eight million. How can I not understand you?" Zhao Changhe untied the wine gourd around his waist and poured wine for Luo Qi: "Come on Come, someone gave it to me today, this wine is strong."

"Are you saying that the ones I bought for you are not strong enough?"

Zhao Changhe gnashed his teeth: "Master~Brother!"

It means don't follow me like a woman, I want a man template, please.

"Huh." Luo Qi was playing with his temper verbally, his eyes turned to his wine gourd, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He didn't care whose wine was in the gourd, but the wine gourd was always given by her that day, the most common and cheapest gourd, and never changed.

"What's so good about it?" Luo Qi snorted coldly: "I heard people talk about me being your private pet again, is it fun? What the hell is wrong with this place? They're all men, how could they think about that kind of thing? "

Zhao Changhe lowered his head and sipped his wine.

This is nothing, you are not in the book friend group of this world, otherwise there will be more.

"Besides, why are you such a rude man?" Luo Qi angrily patted the table: "Look in the mirror, are you worthy?"

Zhao Changhe said honestly: "I took a photo in the morning, and I woke up handsome."

Luo Qi: "?"

You took a hammer in the morning, and when you woke up, I was lying on your shoulder, and when you woke up, you took me aside.

Bandits!

Zhao Changhe also quickly remembered that his actions in the morning seemed inappropriate, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Today is the winter solstice, and it is a festival. Do you have any festive arrangements?"

Luo Qi hesitated to speak.

What are the arrangements for the festival, you ask me? Am I your wife?

The most annoying thing is that she really has arrangements.

Luo Qi muttered something in his mouth, and took out a pot of glutinous rice balls from the cabinet with a straight face: "Today I went to the city to buy it, and when I came back, I boiled water and scooped it up. Anyway, the custom in Luojiazhuang is to eat glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice. You Zhao Cuo should be the same?"

Zhao Changhe wondered: "I hear what you mean, do you know the customs in other places? How many places have you been to?"

"Can't you listen to other people's talk? They eat dumplings and are too lazy to do it." Luo Qi angrily filled him with a bowl: "I don't think you like dumplings either. You are probably interested in sister-in-law."

Zhao Changhe: "?"

I didn't offend you today, right? It's like eating gunpowder... I didn't even want to eat it for you, what kind of sister-in-law...

Oh, that was really offending in the morning... Forget it, let's eat glutinous rice balls in a silent voice.

Luo Qi squinted at him, becoming more and more annoyed.

In fact, there is nothing to offend. The real reason is that she is very uncomfortable with the feeling of a family holiday. Zhao Changhe didn't know each other very well, he acted like it was a matter of course, and didn't even have a word of thanks.

Am I your fucking wife?

As a result, while eating glutinous rice balls, Zhao Changhe really seemed like his husband and wife were talking about work when they were eating, and he said naturally: "Today I passed the basic saber technique test, and Mr. Sun is going to teach me the Blood Demon Saber, which is the skill." You have to keep up, otherwise the blood fiend knife will not be able to use its power after learning it, it’s useless. Sun Jiaoxi means that I can try to break through to the first level tonight."

Too couple.

Luo Qi became more and more frustrated, and what was even more angry was that this guy was once a month!

Do you want people to live?

"Why did you learn Xuesha Dao so quickly?" Luo Qi felt a little sour when she heard her own words: "Shouldn't there be an entry-level saber technique?"

"The instructor said that with my level of effort, I know how to practice. The value of introductory knife skills is very low for me. That kind of step-by-step routine is for mediocrity..."

Luo Qiliu raised her brows upside down.

Zhao Changhe raised his hands in surrender.

"Breakthrough is breakthrough, what can you tell me? I can't help you." Luo Qi chewed the glutinous rice balls, and said firmly: "Anyway, doing exercises while they are hot after eating is good for you. I will also take a bath while it is hot. .”

Zhao Changhe finally stopped eating glutinous rice balls, looked up at her, hesitated to speak.

Luo Qi said with a stern face: "What are you doing? Just fart."

Zhao Changhe hesitated and said: "I've been thinking, you should not go to the shower alone in the future, in case someone bumps into you..."

Luo Qi said unhappily: "Who goes to the water pool in the middle of the night? I think you want to take this opportunity to do something..."

"Do I still need to take advantage of this opportunity?" Zhao Changhe interrupted: "If I didn't meet someone before, it doesn't mean that I won't meet them. I will help you look out for the wind in the future. Anyway, I can practice anywhere."

Luo Qi poked the glutinous rice balls with chopsticks, poked them and slid them apart without being skewered.

She continued to poke angrily: "I'm a man, what does it matter if people look at me, and it's none of your business."

This is so arrogant. Zhao Changhe thought for a while, then changed his angle: "Just help me."

Luo Qi gave him a strange look: "Help you satisfy your curiosity of watching men take a bath?"

"Grass." Zhao Changhe said helplessly: "Blood Fiend Kung Fu is a magic skill after all, breakthrough is risky, even if it's just one layer...so by the Lengshui Pond, if you see me showing signs of losing my mind, kick me Go down and finish..."

Luo Qi finally inserted the glutinous rice balls, skewered them with a chopstick, stuffed them into his mouth in a good mood, and said with a smile: "You said earlier that you were asking for my help, then I will help you as much as I can."
