"In that case... all I have to do is adapt to this world and hold on to my sword tightly!"
Zhou Zhilu looked at the long sword in his hand and thought silently.
"The sword practice is too loud!"
Ling Qingxue's voice suddenly rang out.
Zhou Zhilu looked over and saw Ling Qingxue sitting on the wall with one leg, looking at him impatiently.
"Sorry." Zhou Zhilu rarely made a joke. After saying it briefly, he continued to practice his swordsmanship.
Ling Qingxue raised her eyebrows when she saw this, but didn't say anything else. She had heard some of the things happening in the village.
"Pay attention to the way you hold the knife, and use the back three fingers to exert force."
Zhou Zhilu was stunned and looked at Ling Qingxue.
"What are you doing? Don't you want to practice sword skills anymore?" Ling Qingxue said coldly.
Zhou Zhilu smiled when he heard this and whispered, "Thank you."
"Hmph! Pay attention to your body's explosive power. Your waist strength isn't enough! Can't you do that?"
"And the footwork, have you hammered nails into your feet?"
"My neck is so stiff! Do you have a stiff neck?!"
In this way, under Ling Qingxue's sharp-tongued guidance, Zhou Zhilu continued to practice.
During the process, Zhou Zhilu also used the swordsmanship that he had learned from the one-eyed strong man, but was disliked by Ling Qingxue.
"This sword technique is average. It focuses power on a single point, sacrificing range for speed. But it's more suited to a sword than a knife. Where did you learn this?"
Zhou Zhilu said truthfully, "I learned it on my own after watching someone else use it once."
Unexpectedly, Ling Qingxue suddenly mocked him, "You can learn it just by watching others use it once? Who do you think you are? A genius that only appears once in a thousand years? Humph, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it."
Zhou Zhilu smiled bitterly, realizing that the main reason he was able to learn it was because he could see the other person's qi flow. However, no one would believe this even if he told others about it, and it might be a bit shocking.
At this time, Zhou Zhilu also realized that he knew too little about the innate magical power of Mingqing Lingmu, and he had never explored it carefully in the past.
Zhou Zhilu sighed and put away his sword.
At this time, Ling Qingxue suddenly threw a brown wooden gourd.
Zhou Zhilu took it, opened it, and smelled it. It was actually wine! He looked at Ling Qingxue in astonishment.
"This is a gift for you. I don't like owing people things. This is to repay you for the candied haws." Ling Qingxue said nonchalantly.
Then he turned over and went back behind the wall and disappeared.
Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but take a long sip when he smelled the aroma of the wine. The rich aroma of grain and the spicy stimulation bloomed in his mouth.
"Good wine!" Zhou Zhilu's eyes lit up.
Drinking the liquor in the pot and looking at the stars in the sky, I felt a little drunk without realizing it.
Without caring whether Ling Qingxue on the other side of the wall heard him, he continued to himself, "You know, I'm also an orphan, whether in this world or that world..."
"I've felt quite lonely since I was little, so I could only study and work very hard. Even when others left, I still kept working. It wasn't because I was working very hard, but because I didn't want to go home because there was no one at home...
"So I really cherish the people I've made here. Today, that feeling almost came back to me, but fortunately, hehe, I'm glad to have you as a neighbor. Thank you for the wine!"
On the other side of the wall, Ling Qingxue was sitting alone in the yard, the house behind her was dark, and she was holding a similar wine jug in her hand, listening to the drunken conversation on the other side with a slight smile.
“Who isn’t…”
