Seeing his overjoyed look, Chen Bing found it a little funny, but after all, she gave him the wreath, and she felt a little sweet in her heart. She still smiled lightly and said, "I met four people in the yard the day before yesterday. Brother, he said he was reluctant to let me leave, and told me what happened to the east room during this period of time. I think the separated family was a little anxious, and I never said hello to him, so I thought of giving him something and just came out. I saw wild flowers growing on the ground blooming quite brightly, so I picked some and wanted to make a garland for my fourth brother. If I picked too many flowers, I will make one more for you."

This is the first time that Chen Bing has given Liu Zhiyuan something since they have known each other for a long time. Although it is just a straw garland, Liu Zhiyuan treats it as a treasure and is extremely happy. He plays with the garland on his wrist. , fearing that she might accidentally break it, she hurriedly retracted her left hand into her sleeve, but she felt very strange about it in her heart. She stretched out her hand again, put the wreath close to her nose, smelled it, and said softly: "Er Niang, okay. fragrant!"

Chen Bing's face suddenly turned red, and her body became even more cramped. She pursed her lips, turned around, and said coquettishly to Liu Zhiyuan: "You, what are you talking about? Why are you not serious and starting to be blind again?" Already three words?"

Liu Zhiyuan knew that he had lost his words and said hurriedly: "I'm talking about this flower, this flower." After saying that, he put the garland to his nose and smelled it, and said: "It really smells good. I won't lie to you. How about you smell it too?"

Chen Bing raised his eyebrows, pouted his little mouth, and said in a pretentious manner: "Well, you are a big devil, you are making fun of me again, aren't you? Aren't you afraid that I will put two fingers on your smile point?" ,Huh! I’ll teach you how powerful my fingering is!”

Liu Zhiyuan knew that her acupuncture technique was extremely exquisite, so he waved his hands with a grimace and said: "Your technique is too exquisite. That day in Gu Zhu Mountain, I was fully alert, but I still fell into your trap unknowingly. I am still here I didn’t even think about how my acupuncture point was hit by you, and that time in my Dexian Building, the thin man’s acupuncture point was also hit by you with all your strength. Hehe, I, how can I dare to touch you here? It’s just a joke, it’s just the truth.”

Chen Bing said: "I don't know martial arts, nor do I know the internal skills and mental methods you mentioned. The acupuncture techniques I know are aimed at curing diseases and people. As for the others, they are just for self-protection. But you, as the Son of an official, why do you have such strong martial arts skills?"

Liu Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Actually, in my Liu family, Wuji and I are the only ones who know martial arts. Although my brother is a military attaché, all he knows is how to kill enemies on the battlefield. Although I am the second eldest child in the family, besides In addition to my eldest brother, I originally had two sisters and one brother, but unfortunately they all died young. Therefore, after I was born, my father loved and cherished me very much." New

After that, Liu Zhiyuan sighed and continued: "But my health was not good when I was a child. I often had to drink medicine. This not only made my parents anxious and uncomfortable, but also made me miserable. My brothers and sisters in the clan all laughed at me. He was a short-lived ghost who said that my mother was unlucky and killed her own child. I couldn't get angry, but I couldn't beat him. Over time, my temperament also became a little weird. I always thought that everyone around me regarded me as a person. I was treated as a useless useless person, so I often lost my temper with my servants. One day, my father held me while I was studying, and told me that a gentleman should be able to learn the six arts, and also told me many stories about the founding of the country by the great ancestor of the country. I was fascinated and thought that if I could be as skilled in martial arts as Taizu, no one would be able to bully my mother and me. So I told my father that I really want to ride a horse, gallop on the battlefield, and become an invincible general. "

Chen Bing thought to himself: Uncle Liu Fu once mentioned that Zhixing looked scary when he lost his temper, but it turned out that there was such a reason. Now that he is angry and strong, he can be regarded as a slap in the face of those who originally looked down on him.

.

Liu Zhiyuan continued: "My father agreed very much and readily agreed, saying that when a man is born in the world, he should carry a three-foot sharp sword and make immortal achievements. He should be able to protect the country with literature and protect the country with martial arts. Only then can he be a gentleman.

What he did was still true to his true nature as a man. He found an instructor from the army and taught me how to ride, shoot, and stick. I was very interested in these people who wielded swords and guns, so I learned quickly. I followed him to learn martial arts.

As I grew older, my body gradually became stronger and I no longer needed to take medicine. My body was much stronger than before, and I no longer looked as sickly as before. Those brothers and sisters who had bullied me

, I don’t dare to talk nonsense in front of me anymore. When you see me, you will be like that mouse.

Like a cat, I feel so happy."

Chen Bing clapped her hands and said with a smile: "This martial arts training not only strengthens your body, but also tempers your mind. It also makes people who bullied you dare not look down on you anymore. It's really a lot."

Liu Zhiyuan also smiled and said: "Yes, if it hadn't been for the foundation laid by the bow, horse and stick, there might not have been such an adventure."

When Chen Bing heard about the adventure, he became interested and hurriedly asked: "Oh? What kind of adventure is it? Come on, tell me."

Liu Zhiyuan smiled softly and said: "If you want to listen, I will tell you briefly. I remember that it was the second year of Zhenghe, and my father was transferred to another state to serve as a general magistrate. My eldest brother was twelve years older than me, and he happened to be

When I got my crown, I went with my father to gain some knowledge. I was only eight years old at the time, Qingzhu was only six years old, and my fourth sister was even younger, so we couldn't go far, so we had to stay with our mother.

Huating."

"The summer that year was particularly hot, because in the next few days it was time to beg for luck, and the women in the family were busy preparing things for begging. Qingzhu woke up early from her nap, she felt too hot, and shouted for ice, and I also felt sad in my heart.

I was greedy for the mung bean ice in Yunjian Alley, so I had nothing to do, so I called a boy, took two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and two pieces of money, so I took Qingzhu and the boy out to Yunjian Alley.

"

"As Qiqiao approaches, Yunjian Alley is also very lively during the day. Every shop is filled with all kinds of begging items. I have never been to Yunjian Alley when begging for skills before. Looking at the dazzling array of items is also novel. The two of us

I looked around while walking around, but I didn't see any ice sellers after walking around. Qingzhu was dissatisfied and clamored for me to take her around again, so I had no choice but to agree. At this time, in the alley,

There are more and more people, and walking is much slower than when we arrived."

"The boy was still sharp-eyed. He saw the ice shop selling ice at the corner of the alley. We were so happy that we went to the shop and ordered two bowls of mung bean ice. At this time, someone walked over and staggered.

The begging pot looked like he was quite old. He was barefooted, bare-chested, with disheveled hair. He had a lot of sores on his arms and exuded a stench. Qingzhu felt extremely disgusted and pinched his nose and stepped back.

Two steps, and I frowned and stepped back."

"The beggar potter held a broken bowl with trembling hands and stretched it out in front of the store. He seemed to be extremely hungry and thirsty, and his words were incomprehensible. It took a lot of effort for me to hear clearly what he wanted to say.

I asked the store owner for a bowl of water. I thought it was just a bowl of water. I thought the store owner would give it to me, so I didn’t take it seriously. But I didn’t expect that the store owner not only refused to give me water, but also wanted to beat him away with a wooden stick.

I was not angry in my heart, but felt sorry for the beggar pot, so I stopped the shop owner and poured the ice in my bowl to him. The beggar pot was startled at first, and then kept thanking me, and I ordered it for him.

I nodded and asked him to eat the ice quickly to relieve the heat."

Chen Bing nodded secretly and praised in his heart: "This big devil is indeed pure and kind in nature."

Liu Zhiyuan said: "At this moment, a person behind me suddenly said in a strange way: "Hey, isn't this Liu Shiyilang? What kind of wind blew you sick rice to Yunjian Alley today, hahaha." The speaker is Li Wenhu, the eldest son of the Li family. My Liu family has been friends with his Li family for generations, so he often hangs out with my elder brothers. Therefore, when he was young, he was also the person who loved to bully me the most."

"I just glanced at him and didn't say anything. He walked forward leisurely, looked me up and down, and said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, I haven't seen you for more than a year, Shiyilang, you are so sick and strong now. Quite a few, I’m afraid it’s a return to glory? Hahaha.”

"I suppressed the anger in my heart and asked him: "When did you come back?" He is three years older than me. More than a year ago, he went to Dengzhou with his mother to visit his father who was an official there. But he He replied to me: "Huh, what's so good about this poor and remote place in Dengzhou? My mother and I couldn't live well, couldn't get used to the food, and couldn't bear it anymore, so we came back. I just arrived in Huating three days ago. , Huating is better, the food is good, and the accommodation is comfortable. Hehe, but this time I came back, I met such a fun thing like you, haha, eh? Who are you, this Huazi? You actually want to give him ice Eat, hum, is he worthy? Oh, you are so good to him, he is just a wild man that your mother stole from outside, hahaha."

Chen Bing was also angry after hearing this, and said: "Why does this person talk so much? Doesn't he have a tutor?"

Liu Zhiyuan said: "This person

I still thought that was me in the past when I was sick and could be manipulated at will. I was so angry that I was shaking all over. It didn’t matter that he insulted me, but he couldn’t insult my mother! I asked him if he had the guts to say it again! Come with me. The young man was quite naughty. He had noticed that I was really angry and tried to persuade me in a low voice, but I couldn’t hear it. Li Wenhu laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, okay, okay, you want to Honor your wild father, but I won't let you get what you want!" After he said this, he actually kicked the broken bowl in the begging pot's hand to the ground. The bowl shattered and ice spread all over the ground. 「

Chen Bing took a breath and cursed: "This Li Wenhu is really nothing!"

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Second mother, you must know that for this beggar, this bowl of Xu is the only possession he has, and it is also the household utensils for eating. Now that it is broken, how will he live in the future? The anger in my chest at that time was no longer able to No matter how much I endured, the scenes of Li Wenhu bullying me in the past appeared in front of my eyes one by one. I snatched the wooden stick from the store owner's hand and used the stick technique taught to me by the instructor to make him become a tiger. Every move and every move was perfect. I exerted 100% of my strength and used all my moves on Li Wenhu. He, Li Wenhu, didn’t know that I knew these stick skills, so he screamed repeatedly after being beaten by me. The boy was very alert, and he got angry when he saw me. , hurriedly took away my stick and winked at me. I saw many people gathered around me. I didn’t want to make the matter bigger, and I was really angry, so I stopped and kicked Li Wenhu in the butt. I kicked him and yelled: "Get out!" Li Wenhu was a bully and was afraid of the strong. He was hurt by my cruel blows, and after saying a few harsh words, he ran away like a mouse."

"I was in a great mood at the time. I secretly called Li Wenhu "waste" and then asked the store to buy a bowl of mung bean ice. I gave it to the beggar with his bowl and chopsticks. He took it with fear and was extremely grateful to me.

.I was worried that Li Wenhu would come back to bring bad luck to him, so I asked him to leave quickly. But I felt a sense of accomplishment in my heart. Seeing that the sky was sinking and Qingzhu had eaten ice, I stopped eating ice myself, so I took Qingzhu with me.

Then he went home."

"It was too hot that night and I couldn't sleep, so I sat alone in the yard enjoying the coolness and looking at the silver moon in the sky. Suddenly an old voice came from behind: "Haha, boy, can't you sleep?"
