Tome of Troubled Times 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 shower, this guy has spent all his time practicing.

On that day I passed God, and I punished myself three thousand times after that.

This kind of attitude has never been seen by Mr. Sun, who has led so many gangsters in his life... It feels like there is a tiger chasing him behind him, running for his life.

In just twenty days, there should have been no change in the person's appearance, except for the addition of some green stubble, but one can clearly feel that Zhao Changhe's face has become more determined and steady, and there is a hint of spirit in his eyes. Mang, and occasionally can reveal a fierce and violent aura.

The muscles on his body are also more solid, and the blocks are majestic and distinct, full of masculine beauty.

The aesthetics in the cottage are the best. Coupled with the scar on his face that highlights his fierce masculinity, Zhao Changhe is simply recognized as the most beautiful man in Beimang cottage...

On the contrary, the man named Luo in his room was not highly regarded by everyone, he was like a rabbit. If it weren't for living with Zhao Changhe, maybe someone would tease her. Of course she wouldn't dare to do so now, but she secretly muttered that it was Mr. Zhao's personal pet, and she might have played with it a long time ago.

Because the gangsters in the village who were dissatisfied with Zhao Changhe were beaten almost all over, including some old believers who came to bully others. Anyway, there were people above who were looking for trouble, and Sun Jianxi was backing him up. This guy is now a rampant in the novice village. The little bully has a bunch of thugs around him.

Because of this kind of thing, he not only learned the sword, but also learned some boxing and kicking. After all, you can't always use the knife in internal fights.

Look at the wine gourd on his waist... Luo Qi no longer needs to change wine for him now. He carries the wine donated by his younger brothers every day - others are not like him who is wanted and cannot go out, so they will naturally go to the city. There are a lot of people who cheat and rob people without money. Now Zhao Changhe is probably the only one who has never left the mountain.

Looking at the way he looked up and drank in excitement because he successfully completed the assessment, he already looked somewhat heroic.

Sun Jiaoxi admired such a man very much in his heart, and he was so compatible: "Changhe, it's almost done. You go back tonight and try to break through the first level of Blood Evil Technique to see if you can advance to the first level. The gist of it, I have already I gave you some advice, I believe you remember it.”

Zhao Changhe clasped his fists excitedly: "Remember."

"This medicine will help you achieve a breakthrough." Professor Sun handed over a pill with great meaning: "Go ahead, I hope you can learn the Blood Sword from tomorrow."

…………

"Hey, handsome man, little bully, are you back?"

Back at the house, Luo Qi had been there early today, pretending to brush the chair and inviting Zhao Changhe to sit down.

Zhao Changhe just sat down and said with a smile: "Another good thing happened to me. I'm happy to say that."

"How do you know something good is going on? Maybe it's something bad?"

"You only play tricks when you are in a good mood. When you are in a bad mood, you keep a straight face, just like I owe you eight million. How can I still understand you?" Zhao Changhe took off the wine gourd from his waist and poured wine for Luo Qi. : "Come, come, someone gave me a gift today. This wine is very strong."

"You mean what I bought you wasn't enough?"

Zhao Changhe gnashed his teeth: "Brother!"

It means don’t act like a woman with me, I want a man’s template, please.

"Huh." Luo Qi said in a playful manner, turning his eyes to his wine gourd, but there was a smile at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't care whose wine was in the gourd, but the wine gourd was always the one she gave her that day. It was the most common and cheapest gourd and had never been replaced.

"What's the good thing?" Luo Qi snorted coldly: "I heard people talking about me being your personal pet again, is it fun? Damn, why is this place like this? They are all men, so they can do that kind of thing no matter what. Think about it?”

Zhao Changhe lowered his head and sipped his wine.

It doesn’t matter. You haven’t joined the book club in this world, otherwise it would be more.

"Besides, why should you, a rude man, be considered a handsome man?" Luo Qi slapped the table angrily: "Look in the mirror, are you worthy?"

Zhao Changhe said honestly: "I took care of him this morning and Shuai woke up."

Luo Qi: "?"

You gave me a thumbs up in the morning. It was obvious that I was lying on your shoulder when you woke up, but when you woke up, you took me aside.

Bandits!

Zhao Changhe also quickly remembered that his behavior in the morning seemed not to be so appropriate, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Today is the winter solstice, and we are celebrating the festival. Do you have any more festive arrangements?"

Luo Qi stopped talking.

What are the arrangements for the festival, you ask me? Am I your wife?

The most annoying thing is that she really has plans.

Luo Qi mumbled something unknown, and took out a pot of glutinous rice **** from the cabinet with a straight face: "I went to the city to buy these today, and when I came back, I boiled some water and picked them up. Anyway, the custom of Luojiazhuang during the winter solstice is You Zhao Cuo should also eat glutinous rice balls?"

Zhao Changhe asked curiously: "From what you say, do you know the customs of other places? How many places have you been to?"

"Can't you listen to other people's nonsense? They only eat dumplings and are too lazy to do it." Luo Qi filled a bowl for him angrily: "I don't think you like dumplings either. It's probably your sister-in-law who is interested. ."

Zhao Changhe: "?"

I didn’t offend you today, did I? It’s like I took some gunpowder... I didn’t even want to eat it for you, so why are you eating it, sister-in-law...

Oh, that was really offending in the morning...forget it, just eat glutinous rice **** in silence.

Luo Qi glanced at him sideways, becoming increasingly annoyed.

Actually, there is nothing to offend. The real reason is that she is not used to the feeling of spending the holidays as a family. Zhao Changhe was very ignorant and took it for granted, without even a word of thanks.

Am I your **** wife?

As a result, while Zhao Changhe was eating glutinous rice balls, he was really talking about work when his husband and wife were having dinner. He said naturally: "I passed the basic knife skills test today, and Mr. Sun is going to teach me the Bloody Sword." , I just need to keep up with my skills, otherwise I won’t be able to use the power of the Blood Fiend Sword, and it will be in vain.” Teacher Sun said, I can try to break through to the first level tonight.”

Too couple.

Luo Qi is getting more and more frustrated, and even more angry is that this guy is one of the best in a month!

Do you want anyone alive?

"Why did you learn the Blood Fiend Sword so quickly?" Luo Qi felt a little sour when he heard his words: "Shouldn't it be reasonable to learn a beginner's sword technique?"

"The instructor said that with my level of effort, I know how to practice, and the value of entry-level sword skills to my improvement is very low. That kind of step-by-step routine is for mediocre people..."

Luo Qi’s eyebrows stood upright.

Zhao Changhe raised his hands and surrendered.

"Breakthrough is a breakthrough, what do you say to me? I can't help you." Luo Qi chewed glutinous rice **** and said stiffly: "Anyway, it will be good for you to do the exercises while it's hot after eating. I'll also take a shower while it's hot. Go take a bath."

Zhao Changhe finally stopped eating glutinous rice balls, looked up at her, and hesitated to speak.

Luo Qi said with a straight face: "What are you doing? If you fart, just let it go."

Zhao Changhe hesitated and said: "I have been thinking that you should not take a bath alone in the future, in case you are bumped into..."

Luo Qi said angrily: "Who goes to the pool in the middle of the night? I think you want to take advantage of the opportunity to do something..."

"Do I need to take advantage of this opportunity?" Zhao Changhe interrupted: "Just because I haven't met anyone before, doesn't mean I won't. I'll help you look out for them in the future. Anyway, I can practice wherever I am. ”

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

She continued to poke angrily: "I'm a man, what does it matter if someone looks at me? Besides, it's none of your business."

What a arrogant person. Zhao Changhe thought for a while and changed his perspective: "Just help me."

Luo Qi gave him a strange look: "Can I help you satisfy your curiosity about watching men take a shower?"

"Grass." Zhao Changhe said helplessly: "The Blood Evil Technique is a magic technique after all. Breaking through is risky, even if it is only one level... So by the cold water pool, if you see any sign of losing my mind, kick me Just kick me down and finish..."

Luo Qi finally inserted the glutinous rice balls, skewered them with a chopstick, stuffed them into his mouth in a happy mood, and said with a smile: "You told me you were asking for my help, so I will reluctantly help you."
