He Tianshu just told a joke, if he gave the secret manual to Zhang Xiao Hua, what did himself learn it? Besides, based on Zhang Xiao Hua’s comprehension, could he understand this abstruse piaomiao steps? He Tianshu felt quite worried about giving this secret manual to Zhao Xiao Hua .
Since Zhang Xiao Hua was considerate, He Tianshu said, “It’s not because I don’t want to practice anymore . I have already done with the contents that I understand these days . If I keep practicing, it will be repet.i.tive work, so I prefer to read the following content . And…” Speaking of it, he rolled his eyes and muttered grumpily, “I’m afraid to be disappointed by you if I practice the footwork in front of you . ”
Zhang Xiao Hua was puzzled . He pulled He Tianshu’s clothes and said with indignation, “Squad leader He, how could you say that way? I’d like to learn from you sincerely . If you don’t explain it clearly, I would go to tell the villa master that you slander me . ”
He Tianshu smiled and said, “Zhang Xiao Hua, I really can’t see through you . If you are a smart person, but you can’t even acquire the basic Luohan fist; for such a simple inner energy cultivation method like Strong bull sutra, you have no sense of qi when learning it . It can be said that you get no talent for practicing martial arts . However, if you are stupid, look at your horse stance and the piaomiao steps you’ve just learned, I don’t know what to say, you can be regarded as a genius . ”
Zhang Xiao Hua waved his hand and said, “Squad leader He, you flattered me . This footwork needs no inner energy, and I happen to have none of it, isn’t it a coincidence?”
He Tianshu didn’t agree with him, saying, “No, no, the footwork I practiced just now is what I have been meditating for many days . The mystery in this piaomiao steps is very huge, every step is important . One cannot remember and imitate it easily, there are a lot of details, even I have acquired it after numerous careful attempts . While you just looked at me, then you can imitate it; and after practicing for several times, you will acquire it . I’m envious of your comprehension . ”
Zhang Xiao Hua was speechless . He had only learned a little about martial arts and didn’t have a clear understanding of it . How could he have a say in this respect?
While touching the stubble under his lower jaw, He Tianshu said thoughtfully, “Actually, what Li Jinfeng (also called Gentleman Li) has said is reasonable . Since you are smart, you’d better study literature . In addition, your hands are in bad condition and when they will recover is uncertain, so there is a slight chance that learning martial arts will take you to the top . Now that you can defend yourself by boxing, studying literature will be a broadway to success . ”
Zhang Xiao Hua kept shaking his head and said, “Certainly, I’m willing to read more books and study literature, and I am fond of doing that . However, I prefer the lightsome feeling of learning martial arts . As an old saying goes, to kill an enemy within ten steps and retreat hundreds of miles away without being hindered, which is what I am pursuing . Just thinking about it made me feel carefree and joyous . ”
Shaking his head, He Tianshu said, “It is not as easy as you think . Things are easier said than done . There is a ferocious atmosphere of mad killing in the chivalric world, but you’ve only seen the harmonious part of it, which is not comprehensive . As an old saying goes, practice is the sole way to test the truth . Only those experiencing it know how hard it is . ”
Being reminded of his second brother’s situation by He Tianshu’s words, Zhang Xiao Hua was somewhat touched and did not continue .
They walked out of the woods one after another .
After returning to the courtyard, He Tianshu said to Zhang Xiao Hua, “Zhang Xiao Hua, little second Nie, and others are absorbed in preparing the martial arts display compet.i.tion in the pharmacy hall, and I have to study the piaomiao steps, so work in medicinal fields…”
He Tianshu said reluctantly . Ou Yan had given a clear order that whether to work in the medicinal field or not was up to Zhang Xiao Hua . These days, Zhang Xiao Hua hadn’t slacked off, instead, he had spent a lot of time working in medicinal fields . But at that time the disciples in the pharmacy hall were all there . Now, they give responsibilities to Zhang Xiao Hua, which made He Tianshu somewhat speechless .
But Zhang Xiao Hua didn’t think much, saying, “It doesn’t matter, squad leader He . Go ahead with your stuff . I will do the work in the fields . ”
Zhang Xiao Hua suddenly recalled practicing in medicinal fields at night as soon as he’d done talking, so he immediately added, “Well, squad leader He, I can put up a straw mat shed in medicinal fields to sleep there at night . ”
Zhang Xiao Hua meant it seriously, but He Tianshu misunderstood him, widening his eyes and saying, “Zhang Xiao Hua, you are exaggerating… Don’t think too much, I will also go to medicinal fields when I’m free . This martial arts display compet.i.tion is a major test that every discipline of the Piaomiao sect needs to face every year, which is very important for their future development . Little second Nie and the others are not really lazy – they just feel worried about the compet.i.tion . ”
Zhang Xiao Hua was mentally matured now . He understood He Tianshu’s meaning and quickly answered, “Squad leader He, I have spoken my mind . When crops in Guo village are ripe, farmers will put up sheds beside fields, which is convenient for them to take care of the crops . This is a custom, I don’t mean to shirk my responsibility . ”
He Tianshu had never done farm work, so he didn’t know . However, he believed that Zhang Xiao Hua was an upright man would not betray them, so he waved his hand and said, “Suit yourself . Anyway, I think you are exaggerating . ”
They returned to their home respectively .
This was a cloudy morning without sun .
But this didn’t affect Zhang Xiao Hua’s good mood .
