Walk into the main hall of the Qi family.
I saw several figures sitting in the room.
At the top is an old man.
His hair and beard were relatively long and gray.
The whole person looks full of energy.
Below his right sat a middle-aged man and woman.
Li Xu guessed that they should be Qi Wen's parents.
Three young men and women sat below the old man's left hand.
One of the women was holding a small child in her arms.
When Li Xu looked at everyone in the room, everyone was also looking at him.
Then, under Du Sen's guidance, Li Xu greeted them one by one.
Everyone in the Qi family showed great enthusiasm.
Since he was a guest, he was allowed to sit next to Mr. Qi.
To be honest, this made him feel quite uncomfortable...
Sitting on the stool, Qi Wen brought him a glass of water.
At this time, Li Xu's eyes suddenly widened and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
Seeing this scene, Old Master Qi said cheerfully, "That's right. It's rare to see young people with such observation skills. If they have good roots and can endure hardships, they might become famous in the future."
Li Xu finally came back to his senses, an embarrassed look on his face. "Grandpa Qi, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I'm a born lazy person. I used to think about learning martial arts, but then I heard others talk about the requirements of martial arts, one of which is hard work and practice, so I gave up."
Hearing this, Mr. Qi was stunned. "You just gave up because you're lazy, not for other reasons?"
Li Xu nodded.
This made everyone in the Qi family look at each other in confusion.
After a moment of silence, Qi Wen's father hesitated and said, "Xiao Li, the cost of training martial arts..."
Although he didn't finish his words.
But Li Xu knew what he meant, so he smiled and said, "I understand. People have told me this before, and I don't plan to let my younger brothers and sisters learn now. At least we have to wait until the disaster is over and we can buy enough meat.
I also heard that martial arts training requires the use of secret medicine. I guess the reason Qi Wen doesn't have many calluses on his hands is because of the medicine, right?"
He understood that everyone in the Qi family was worried that he had only a vague understanding of martial arts and didn't know how much it would cost.
So he just told what he knew.
At the same time, it shows that your family has this ability.
He was so surprised just now because he saw that Qi Wen didn't have many calluses on his hands.
You have to know that Qi Wen has been practicing martial arts since he was a child.
It is normal to have a lot of calluses on your hands.
After thinking about it, he felt that this should be the effect of the medicine.
Mr. Qi stroked his beard with his right hand, a look of satisfaction on his face. "Now that you know everything, it will be much easier."
Li Xu picked up the water glass and took a sip.
After discovering that it was sugar water, he put it back on the table.
Then he said, "Grandpa Qi, my family actually wants my younger brothers and sisters to learn some moves to protect themselves. To prevent them from losing face in the future, they don't need to become your disciples. Is that okay with you?"
Old Master Qi burst into laughter. "Are you worried that I have enemies and that will affect them? It's okay. As long as you're willing to learn, it doesn't matter whether you become my disciple or not."
Seeing Li Xu's surprised expression, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and then he sighed, "Don't be surprised, the cost of practicing martial arts is too high. Few people can afford it these days. And even if you practice martial arts for a lifetime, in the end you still can't beat a bullet.
In recent years, few people are willing to become my apprentices and learn martial arts. Even if there are, they will turn around and leave after hearing the high cost. I have many grandchildren, but only Qi Wen and the other three can persevere. In the next generation, there may not even be one person willing to learn martial arts.
If the things of our ancestors were lost, I would not be able to close my eyes even if I were buried in the ground, so if I can pass on one person at a time, it is the best I can. Whether it is legitimate or not is not important."
At the end of his speech, the old man's tone revealed deep sadness and unwillingness.
Li Xu could understand his feelings.
Just like when I first heard about the various requirements for learning martial arts, I immediately backed off.
There is no other way. It takes decades of hard study and practice, and costs a lot of money.
Being shot will still cause injury or death.
Who is willing to take the trouble to practice it?
You have to know that there are a lot of guns among the people nowadays.
People think that instead of learning martial arts, it is better to get a gun for self-defense.
Hearing the old man's words, everyone in the Qi family's expressions changed.
Qi Wen's martial arts brother directly promised, "Grandpa, I dare not say anything else, but my children must learn martial arts in the future. If they dare not learn, I dare to break their legs."
Old Master Qi glanced at him and said in a very low voice, "Your father and your uncles used to say so. What about now? Why haven't I seen your brothers and sisters have their legs broken?"
This made Qi Wen's elder brother and her father very embarrassed.
At this time, Qi Wen's younger brother suddenly coughed and said with a bitter face, "Grandpa, my father beat me a lot when I was a child, but it was useless. I still couldn't study."
Old Master Qi waved his hands and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Unexpectedly, Qi Wen also took up the conversation and said very confidently, "Grandpa, if I have children in the future, I dare not say all of them, but I can definitely let two or three of them practice martial arts."
Li Xu believed this.
As long as she is willing to have more children, can't she find two people who are willing?
Mr. Qi's expression became more favorable. "That's quite reasonable. It's much better than the nonsense your eldest brother said."
Then he said to Li Xu, "Xiao Li, it's settled. When the disaster is over, send your brother and sister over here. Since they are from Xiao Sen's family, we are relatives. I won't charge them tuition. How much they can learn depends on their luck."
Li Xu quickly refused, "Grandpa Qi, how can you learn a skill without paying tuition? I feel really embarrassed for you to do this."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? I said I won't accept it, so I definitely won't accept it."
Seeing the old man's determined expression and what he said, Li Xu had no choice but to agree.
Next, Li Xu asked some questions about martial arts.
After I had a general understanding of the situation, I started chatting with everyone in the Qi family about family matters.
After a while, Li Xu and the other man said goodbye and left.
As they walked along the road, he curiously asked, "Xiao Sen, I know your talent, but what is Qi Wen's talent?"
"Didn't I say that day that Qi Wen is stronger than the average man?"
Li Xu: ...
Good job.
He always thought that this was the effect of the medicine, combined with the daily training to build up his strength.
I didn't expect it was natural.
It seems that there is a reason why Qi Wen's skeleton is a size bigger than that of the average girl.
After a moment of silence, Li Xu changed the subject and asked, "Did you understand what I just said?"
Du Sen was stunned, "What do you understand?"
"What you mean by practicing martial arts is completely different from what we mean by practicing martial arts. Haven't you figured it out yet?"
