Chapter 81 1 There are multiple apprentices in the morning
Inadvertently, Su Qiuyi was pushed by everyone to run. He wanted to be lazy and felt embarrassed to say that he couldn't run.
I ran and ran and finally finished the five kilometers.
When I returned to the entrance of my cave to find my master, I had grown from one person to a team.
Su Qiuyi looked at Chu Mingxiao with some embarrassment. She wiped the sweat off her face and said, "Well... they... they also want to exercise..."
"Yes! Master Chu, we all want to learn skills from you. Can you teach us too?" Qin Kui took the lead, and his rough voice shouted in Su Qiuyi's ears, making her want to move away a little.
"Yes, after our village suffered a drought, we realized how useless we were. We couldn't even protect our relatives and had to watch them die. We also wanted to learn some skills, so that at least we could protect ourselves and our families!"
In the crowd, a thin boy with sunken cheeks clenched his fists and shouted, then timidly hid behind the person in front of him.
Su Qiuyi knew this man. She had heard her father mutter about him. He said that he was a boy from the Wang family in the village. He was only sixteen years old. After encountering bandits, he was the only one left in the family who survived. He had been living a hard life with the villagers.
When everyone came to borrow ten taels of silver, he only borrowed one tael of silver. When asked, he said that he was afraid he could not pay it back.
Su Qiuyi admired this kid very much at that time. He never thought of defaulting on the debt and he was a good person.
Standing in front of Wang Xiang was Su Yunsheng. After Wang Xiang hid behind him, everyone else's eyes fell on him.
He looked a little unnatural, but he still took a step forward, nodded to Su Qiuyi, and clasped his fists with Chu Mingxiao, saying, "It is said that scholars are good for nothing. I didn't agree with this statement before, but now I understand that it is indeed too difficult for scholars who are weak and powerless to survive in such turbulent times! If possible, can you let my second sister take all of us to practice with you?"
As he said this, he suddenly realized something and said, "If possible, when we settle down and have the ability, we can pay the money as tuition fee!"
This sentence resonated with several people, and everyone clasped their fists and said, "Yes! We can pay! We will definitely pay when we have money!"
The teenagers were very enthusiastic and motivated. After running five kilometers, it felt like they had not run at all. Instead, they looked at Su Qiuyi, who looked a little listless, and felt that she was extremely tired.
Qin Kui looked at the boys who were making requests with their fists clasped, and suddenly realized that he was the only one who had a family, while the others were not.
His old face turned red and he was too embarrassed to clasp his hands.
He just stood there awkwardly, not daring to say anything, but it was easy to tell from his expression that he was eager, too eager to learn martial arts.
Chu Mingxiao looked at everyone's requests and did not act on his own. Instead, he looked at Su Qiuyi with a questioning look.
After Chu Mingxiao looked over, the eyes of the other ten people followed Su Qiuyi.
Seeing Su Qiuyi's embarrassment, she stammered, "Well... actually... it's not bad to have a companion!"
"Okay! That's it, you all practice together! But you have to think clearly! There are no deserters under my Chu Huai's command! If you choose to join, you must persevere no matter how tired you are! Those who can do it will stay!"
Chu Mingxiao actually didn’t care. During the time he was recuperating, he was teaching a little black girl and also leading this group of boys.
"can do it!"
"Very good…"
"it is good…"
The sounds of "good, good, good" came one after another, and the villagers who had gathered around also became excited.
Two more boys, aged thirteen or fourteen, were pushed in by their families.
Chu Mingxiao watched and accepted everyone who came.
The old Su family members were also around. Seeing the situation, Su Dazhuang wanted to push the second boy Su Yunqi next to him in as well.
"I won't go, I won't go, I won't go! How tiring it is! I am a scholar! I don't want to learn any swordsmanship! Running around like a fool..."
After being pushed by his father, Su Yunqi became angry. He shook his head and waved his hands, saying that he was a scholar and would not accept such insults.
"Isn't your eldest brother also a scholar? He's a student at that! Why can't you go when he can go?" Mrs. Su Wang was angry at her youngest son's ignorance.
She didn't believe that everyone standing here was here to learn swordsmanship. Wasn't it because Third Uncle's family was now rich, and everyone wanted to take advantage of them?
The Su family was stupid enough to split off Third Uncle's house, and he got no benefit from it. The sister-in-law was also mentally ill, and she went up to him and offended him. Now she lies there crying in pain all day long.
If she were to ask her, Yunsheng was the smartest. He always hung out with Uncle San's family, so wouldn't he have benefited from it? Not to mention that he made money by helping to keep accounts when collecting chickens and eggs, he also helped to rescue Yiyi yesterday, which would definitely be beneficial in the future.
"Brother, you are so humble and willing to suffer humiliation. What does it have to do with me?" Su Yunqi put his hands behind his back and turned away.
"Stop right there..." Su Wangshi wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Su Dazhuang.
"Don't worry about him. Fortunately, Dalang has gone there, right?"
Su Wangshi thought about it and agreed. If it was a good thing, and Dalang went there, they would definitely benefit from it.
If it's not good, it's right not to involve both sons.
Su Erzhuang and his wife were also watching and listening, but there was no one as young as their son standing in front, and they felt sorry for their son and were hesitant.
"Okay! Then you guys! Line up according to your height! Start doing horse stance!"
Chu Mingxiao didn't even stand up, nor did he really care how many people were there. He waited until the noise died down before giving the order for the next part of the training.
At this moment, Su Qiuyi regretted his eagerness to become a disciple yesterday.
She thought, it’s just a matter of chopping people, so there’s no need to learn it specifically, right?
But now with so many people watching, she couldn't bear to lose face and back out.
I had to do horse stance...
Everyone lined up consciously and started to do horse stance. No one around was watching or making noise anymore, and everything became quiet.
A voice came from the other side of the cave.
"Master Chu, can I learn from you too?"
Su Qiuyi was originally doing horse stance with his head down, but when he heard the voice, he quickly looked up.
It’s Yang Ruchuan.
His wounds had scabbed over and he could walk normally again, but his body was still a little weak.
"Cousin, your body..."
"Yiyi, cousin is fine now, don't worry!" Yang Ruchuan listened to his cousin's caring tone and shook his head at her, indicating that he was completely fine.
He also didn't want to be so weak. If he encountered danger in the future, he didn't want to watch his sister get hurt in front of him.
I don’t want my sisters to protect me, so I have to become stronger.
Besides, if his petite and frail cousin can do it, there's nothing he can't do.
Chu Mingxiao tilted his head, indicating that he could follow.
Just like that, under the leadership of Su Qiuyi, Chu Mingxiao had thirteen more disciples in one morning, including Su Qiuyi, a total of fourteen disciples.
He himself has a nonchalant attitude and teaches however he wants.
But Su Qiuyi was so tired that he was almost exhausted. He practiced for a whole morning but didn't even touch the sword.
I felt so sad. After practicing for the last minute, I was no longer in the mood to practice swordplay with my legs dragging as if they were filled with lead.
Little did he know that those fellow disciples were not tired at all. After dinner, they excitedly ran into the woods to find good wood and begged Su Lao San to make wooden swords for them.
