MTL - The Book of Troubled Times-Chapter 18 winter solstice

  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.

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

   This kind of attitude, Sun Jiaoxi has brought so many gangsters in his life, and 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 the Beiman cottage...

   On the contrary, the Luo in his room is not liked by everyone, 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, you can't always use the knife in internal fights.

Look at the wine gourd on his waist...now there is no need for Luo Qi to change the wine for him, it is filled with the wine offered by the younger brothers every day-others are not like him who is wanted and can't get out, so they will naturally go to the city to play, no money There were also quite a few people who were cheated, kidnapped and robbed. Zhao Changhe may be the only one who has never been out of the mountain.

  Looking at 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 break through." Sun Jiaoxi handed over a pill with deep meaning: "Go, I hope you can learn the blood sword from tomorrow."

  ...

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

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

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

   "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."

   "You mean the ones I bought for you aren't 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, his eyes turned to his wine gourd, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

  He doesn't care whose wine is in the gourd, but the wine gourd is always given by her that day, the most common and cheapest gourd, and has never been replaced.

"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 **** 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 have not joined the book friend group in this world, otherwise there will be more.

   "Besides, how can you be considered a handsome man if you are rude?" 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's 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 **** 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 **** during the winter solstice. You Zhao Cuo should be the same?"

  Zhao Changhe wondered: "Listen to you, 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. The one you are interested in is probably sister-in-law."

  Zhao Changhe: "?"

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

  Oh, I really offended you in the morning... Forget it, let’s eat glutinous rice **** in a silent voice.

  Luo Qi glanced sideways at him, becoming more and more annoyed.

   In fact, there is nothing to offend. It is really because of the feeling of a family holiday that she is very uncomfortable. 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 **** 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 sword technique test, and Professor Sun is going to teach me the Blood Demon Sword, which is 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 to live?

   "Why did you learn the blood sword so quickly?" Luo Qi felt a little sour when she heard her own words: "Shouldn't it be necessary to transition to an entry-level sword technique?"

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

  Luo Qiliu's eyebrows were 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: "Why? Just fart."

  Zhao Changhe hesitated: "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 will go to the water pool in the middle of the night? I think it's what you want to take advantage of..."

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

  Luo Qi poked the glutinous rice **** with chopsticks, and they slid open without being skewered.

  She continued to poke angrily: "I'm a man, so what's the matter with being seen, 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 Kungfu is a demonic kungfu after all, breakthrough is risky, even if it's just a layer...so by the edge of Lengshui Pond, if you see me showing signs of losing my mind, kick me down It's over..."

  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."
