Chapter 74 What will happen
Everyone was very disappointed.
He then changed the subject, "I won't accept any disciples, but I can teach the kids a set of stick techniques. If they practice this set of stick techniques well, it will be no problem for one person to beat three or four strong men."
Everyone was overjoyed. They had thought there was no hope, but to hear such a sentence at this moment was a pleasant surprise. No matter what, the old man did not completely ignore them and refused to accept them as disciples.
But they also thought it through. Who was Zhou Guo? He was the Golden Boy. He was very strong, had great abilities and good ideas. He was indeed not comparable to ordinary people. Although they could not compare with the Golden Boy, it was also good to be able to get enlightenment from the Golden Boy's master.
Zhou Dacang just gave up the idea. As an elder, it would be unacceptable for him to have the same master as his niece.
Only Xu was not happy. She muttered in front of Huang: "Not to mention that Zhou Tao is almost the same age as her sister Zhou Guo, Zhou Mi is also at the age to learn martial arts. Why did the old man choose Guo as his only child? What's the point of a girl learning these things? Mother, why don't we let Zhou Mi learn? A boy will learn martial arts and gain skills. Not only will it be easier for him to get married in the future, but he can also join the army and fight in wars to make meritorious deeds!"
The more he talked, the more he felt that this was the case. He became interested, "Just think about it, if Zhou Mi made a contribution, he could become an official. Then our family would be different. We would be officials. This would bring honor to our family, and Guo Yatou, a girl, couldn't do it."
Li was unhappy and asked, "What's wrong with a girl? Aren't you a girl? Aren't your eldest daughter and second daughter a girl?"
Xu waved her hands, "That's not the case." She continued to pester Huang, "Mom, what do you think? If you think it's okay, then I'll go and tell you."
Huang retracted her gaze and looked at her as if she were a fool. "Don't you understand what people say? Or are you deaf? Didn't you hear what Mr. Zhao said just now? He won't accept any other disciples, only Guo girl, because they are destined to be together. Do you think you can change Mr. Zhao's mind by telling him?"
Xu said, "Maybe it will work. I'll explain the pros and cons to him, and he will definitely agree to it."
As he said this, he stood up, brushed the dirt off his body, and straightened his hair to make himself look more dignified.
"Grandpa, you see our Zhou Mi is older than Guo girl, and bigger in stature, can you take our Zhou Mi in as well? It would be nice for the two siblings to study together, right?"
Mr. Zhao shook his head and refused. "I am old and don't have that much energy. I can only take in one child. Besides, I don't have much skill. I only know a little bit of martial arts. This is only enough for the child to strengthen his body. It is not very useful. Even if he learns it, he can't fight a hundred people alone, nor can he make merit on the battlefield."
When Xu heard this, she opened her mouth, but finally left.
After hearing this, Zhou Guo remembered that she had become a disciple, but she knew nothing about her master's abilities. She came for his Qinggong skills, but was there anything else besides Qinggong?
"Master, what else do you know?"
Master Zhao said proudly, "My fists and feet are the best. When I was at my peak, I could break a person's internal organs with one punch, and there would be no visible scars on the outside. As for the other skills, such as knife, sword, and spear, I know a little, but not much. Teaching you should be enough. I see that you have a good foundation and a lot of strength. After learning fists and feet, your strength should increase greatly. It is said that strength can defeat skill. No matter how elaborate the moves are, they are nothing in front of absolute strength."
When Zhou Guo heard this, he looked at his hands and imagined the scene of himself dragging a hoe and fighting with others. He had no experience in fighting in his two lives, but even so, those people could not get any good results in his hands. If it weren't for his slow reaction, no one could hurt him.
If I learn kung fu, who will be my opponent if something like this happens again?
Thinking of this, she became curious again and asked, "Master, who taught you this set of martial arts?"
The old man did not hide it from her, "When I was a kid, I learned from a master who opened a martial arts school. After I learned it, I went out to escort. I traveled all over the country, met many people, and learned a lot of skills secretly. Later, I met an old man who was even more skilled in martial arts. I learned some from him, but I didn't become his disciple. During those years of escort, I learned some of the various moves in the escort agency, so I know a little bit of everything."
After saying this, the old man fell into deep thought.
Zhou Guo originally had a lot of questions to ask, but seeing him like this, he felt that there was nothing to ask. No matter what the reason was for him to be among the refugees, and no matter what his story was in the past, these were not important. What was important was the future.
Zhou Guo became a disciple of a martial arts master. Although he was a little dazed, he did not interfere with his work.
After everyone finished their meal, it was already late at night. Everyone was very sleepy, so they worked for more than an hour before they finally fell asleep.
Zhou Guo had fallen asleep leaning against her mother. Her mother said that the child was still growing and couldn't stay up day and night like them, otherwise she would not grow tall in the future.
On the second day, the group spent another half a day peeling all the ripe fruits they had received.
Zhou Guo looked at the baskets and bags filled with fruits piled together on the ground, which was quite an impressive sight.
Fortunately, they have a lot of stuff at home, otherwise they would have nothing to put in it.
There were still some left on the trees and on the ground, but no one cared. They had picked all the fruits of the third generation, so they had to leave some food for the small animals in the forest.
In the second half of the afternoon, the group started on their journey. Zhou Guo was still the first one holding a stick. He stopped every two quarters of an hour to determine the direction and make sure he was not going astray. After walking for an hour, they really did not go back. Everyone felt relieved.
The wheels can't pass through bad roads, so everyone has to lift it together.
Although it was very hard work, no one complained and they always had smiles on their faces. They were all imagining how much money they would get if they sold it at the price of 800 wen per catty.
It’s just that the team is quite eye-catching now.
The cart, which had already begun to run out of cargo, was once again filled to the brim, so full that it formed a mountain.
Zhou Guo looked at the carts that were almost full and worried. He said to his uncle, "If we run into people on the road and see all these things on our carts, wouldn't it be too conspicuous?"
Zhou Dacang nodded, frowning, "Yes, if I had been hungry for a long time and suddenly met a refugee with so much food on the road, I would risk my life to get some."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Why not cover it with some branches or grass? Even though it's a little conspicuous, it's better than leaving it exposed like this."
