Before dawn in the morning, Linlang and Rongyi were practicing kung fu in the yard. Rongyi was practicing basic skills by squatting and running, while Linlang was performing a set of boxing.

"Not bad, not bad. Our sister really impressed me again." Su Jinyao jumped down from the courtyard wall. "I just don't know how she performs in actual combat."

As he said that, he attacked.

The two men fought back and forth, until it was enough.

Rong Yi's eyes widened. He didn't expect that his sister could fight for several rounds with Su Jinyao, who was a master of kung fu. Although she was not as strong and skilled as Su Jinyao, she was more flexible.

However, compared to him, his sister's kung fu is already very impressive.

Rong Yi was itching to try it, but unfortunately he was still practicing basic skills.

Amu, who was standing in the side room, saw Su Jinyao through the window and watched him and Linlang interacting with some nervousness.

Su Jinyao has had a capricious temper since childhood. He can be so irritating with his words and rarely treats people well. I didn't expect that he would be so nice to Linlang and his elder brother.

He could also see that Su Jinyao looked at Linlang with clear eyes and called her "sister" affectionately. He really treated Linlang as his sister and his elder brother as his brother.

This is Linlang's personal charm. She is kind and not flattering. Although poor, she has a bottom line and backbone.

Su Jinyao stopped and said, "My sister's kung fu is indeed good. As a woman, she can protect herself. However, your kung fu is not suitable for Rong Yi. So, from now on, I will come here every morning to teach Rong Yi kung fu, and you can take care of my breakfast and lunch."

"There's one more condition. My sister should go to the villa more often to accompany my mother. My three brothers have already returned to Beijing last night. It's just me and my mother in the villa. You and Rong Yi can come and go as you please."

Linlang knew her limitations. Her limited skills were enough to teach her brother temporarily, but not enough to teach him later. Now that she had the best teacher to teach her, that was even better.

She immediately said, "Brother, why don't you hurry up and become my disciple?"

Rong Yi was about to kneel down when Su Jinyao lifted him up. "We are brothers, so let's not worry about the formalities and start training."

Su Jinyao placed two bags of dirt on Rong Yi's legs while he was doing horse stance. "His lower body is very stable. We need to increase the difficulty of the training, otherwise, the effect will be minimal."

When running, I also tied sandbags on my legs to increase the weight.

One was a good and strict teacher, the other a serious student who could endure hardships. Linlang went into the kitchen and made a hearty breakfast to reward them.

Amu wanted to go and help, but was afraid of being discovered by Su Jinyao, so he could only stay in the side room and watch Linlang busy in the kitchen.

With Su Jinyao at home, Linlang only had time to talk to Amu during breakfast. "After drinking the medicine this morning, the poison in your body will be eliminated, but your body is still very weak, so you need to continue taking a few doses of medicine to recuperate."

Ah Mu ate the fragrant fried eggs and nodded, "When I get better, you can teach me kung fu to protect myself."

Linlang became more and more positive, and smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Okay."

After dinner, Linlang brought over some writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. "I'm going up the mountain to collect herbs. You're bored at home alone, so why not write or draw to pass the time? Don't overwork yourself, and get plenty of rest. Your health is everything."

"Okay." Amu looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. He hadn't touched them for seven years. He was very nervous. He didn't know if he could still hold the pen and write.

Linlang patted his shoulder and said, "Take your time. At worst, we can start from the beginning."

"From the beginning?"

"Yes, start from the beginning." Linlang encouraged him, "Don't have any psychological burden, you are Amu."

"I'm Amu."

Amu mustered up the courage to pick up the brush, but his hands couldn't stop shaking. Linlang went up and held his hand, "Don't be afraid, take the first step bravely, and everything will become easier."

Linlang ground ink for him, spread out the rice paper, held his hand, and together they wrote four words on the rice paper: Linlang, Amu.

The little hands wrapped around the big hands, helping him feel the sensation of writing.

On Amu's entire body, only the skin on the back of his hands was intact. Only when he held the brush in his palms did he feel the scars, and it still hurt.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again, changing from passive to active. He took Linlang's hand and wrote under Linlang's handwriting: Linlang, Amu.

Different from Linlang's beautiful handwriting, Amu's handwriting is just like him, gentle as jade and restrained.

"It's really well written." Linlang took her hand back. "Stay home, I'll be back soon and cook fish for you at noon."

There were fish in the pool of water at the mountain waterfall, so Linlang decided to catch a few and bring them back to make soup with tofu to nourish Ah Mu. Her brother worked hard in martial arts training, so he needed to keep up with his nutrition.

Amu followed him to the door and whispered, "Be careful."

She was a cute little girl who knew how to care for others. Linlang waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I've been running in the mountains since I was a child. I'm very safe."

When going to the mountain, Linlang deliberately went past the Li family's side. It happened that the mayor brought people to see the house, and the Li family had indeed fled overnight.

The revenge has not been settled yet, but the person has run away, and I still feel a little unwilling.

But it’s better to run away, so as to avoid seeing that disgusting family. Now I can focus on taking care of Amu’s health and let my brother practice martial arts well so that he can have a place in the martial arts examination next year.

She also wants to make herself strong, earn a lot of money, and let her father and brother have no worries.

I hope everything goes well for Daddy at the county government office. When he comes back, I will definitely welcome him with good food and wine.

Linlang came to the pond. A five or six-year-old child took off his shoes and socks and tried to catch fish in the water. But the fish were so agile that he almost got soaked through and didn't catch a single one.

Very depressed, he sat down on a rock, looking at the fish swimming in the water with frustration, his eyes full of unwillingness.

The little boy had a delicate and delicate appearance, which did not match his tattered clothes. It was obvious that he had run away secretly.

Linlang laughed out loud, "Do you need my help?"

When the little kid saw Linlang, he immediately became alert, "Who are you?"

He spoke with a Beijing accent, so it seemed he was from the capital.

"I live in Lu'er Town, Rong's Pork Shop, and my name is Rong Linlang." Linlang walked over. "Are you catching fish with your bare hands?"

The little guy thought Linlang was laughing at him, and raised his chin proudly, "It's not that I'm too slow, it's that the fish are swimming too fast. If I had tools, I could definitely catch a lot of them."

After he finished speaking, his stomach started to growl.

The little guy blushed and quickly covered his stomach, but it was no use and he screamed even louder.

Linlang smiled, "Hungry?"

"No, I'm not hungry at all."

Gurgle~

Linlang took out a fishing net from her backpack and said, "I have some fishing nets. If you can help me, I can give you two."

Without even thinking about it, the little guy agreed immediately, "You can't lie to a child, you have to give him two big ones."

He was really hungry. He hadn't eaten for a whole day. Drinking water couldn't fill his stomach at all. The more he drank, the hungrier he became.

"Okay, I'll give you two big ones and grill them for you, okay?" The little guy knew how to negotiate conditions. Linlang thought he was so cute.

He must have suffered a lot wandering around outside at such a young age.

Linlang went to the deep waters herself, leaving the little guy in the shallows. They caught quite a few fish with their first net. Seeing the little guy's eyes gleam with hunger, Linlang prepared the fish, started a fire, and began grilling them.

The little guy sat beside it, staring at the fish, his saliva almost flowing out, and his stomach rumbling.

This scene reminded Linlang of the difficult time when she and her son escaped. She decided to take the little guy home first and then ask him where his home was.

It's too dangerous for a child this young to wander around. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
