Kang Yueran pretended not to see it. She didn't want to cause trouble. "I said I can't afford you. Go ask someone else."
Seeing Kang Yueran was about to leave, the little girl quickly grabbed Kang Yueran's clothes and said, "I don't want money, food, or anything. I just ask that you accept us and give us something to eat.
My father is a cook, and I have been helping him since I was eight years old. I cook very well.”
"I'm sorry, I really can't take you in. I have a lot of people to support at home." After saying that, Kang Yueran bent down, pulled the little girl's hand away, walked around the two of them and left quickly.
The streets were full of beggars and people selling children. If she dared to buy anyone, she would be targeted.
Or perhaps the two children were just a test. Anyone who dared to buy children at that time must have money and food. Families with money and food were the targets of thieves.
The little boy pulled the little girl's hand and said, "Sister, what should we do if that girl refuses to buy it? Does she really have no money?"
The little girl pulled her brother to his feet and glanced at the two men staring at them.
He said loudly, deliberately speaking in a contemptuous tone: "Her feet are so big, you can tell she's not from a wealthy family. Her hands are also rough, you can tell she works a lot. And her face is so dark, she must be a farmer who works in the fields all year round."
After saying that, the little girl pulled her brother back to the roadside and squatted, waiting for the next prey.
Two men not far away looked at the little girl and made a vicious gesture on her neck. The little girl turned pale with fear. She didn't want to hurt anyone, but if she didn't, she and her brother would be hurt.
Kang Yueran returned home and gave the spear to Kang Yuanchen, as well as a book on spear training; the ones he gave to Kang Yuanwu and Kang Yuanfeng were for boxing training.
The book shows each move, with explanations and precautions below each move, so you can practice even if you can't read.
Kang Yuanchen touched the spear excitedly, "Yueran, where did you get it?"
Kang Yuanwu looked at the gun with envy, not very happy, "Sister Yueran, why don't I have it?"
Kang Yuanfeng was also disappointed, "I don't have it either."
Kang Yueran said, "You two are too young. Practice your boxing skills well. When you are fifteen, I will teach you one each."
Kang Yuanwu wailed, "That's still two years away." He turned his head and smiled flatteringly at his brother, "Brother, can you lend me your spear first?"
Kang Yuanchen flatly refused, "Of course not. What if you break it?"
Huang said, "Yueran, we're going to have a lot of expenses when we get to the city, so you should be frugal. It's not too late to buy them things when we make some money in the city."
Kang Yueran waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about the money. This spear, this spear manual, and this boxing manual were not bought. They were given to me by my master. He also gave me one hundred taels of silver.
I once, by chance, helped my master with a small favor on Dayan Mountain. He was a reclusive master who, in his gratitude, accepted me as his apprentice. However, he didn't like me mentioning him outside of the house, and he didn't like meeting outsiders. Only my father knew about this.
Huang was very happy. "Our Yueran is so lucky and has such a long life that he can even meet a hidden master. Let's ask your master later. If he is willing, we will take care of him in his old age."
Kang Yueran smiled on the surface, but cursed in his heart, yes, I met him, and he cheated me out of a lot of money! "He is used to being alone, and his whereabouts are erratic. Only he can find me, but I can't find him."
Kang Yuanchen shook his head. "That's such a pity."
After lunch, Kang Yuanchen and the other two started practicing the moves shown in the book.
None of them had any martial arts background, and many of their moves were out of place.
Kang Yueran flipped through the book and recognized the regular script beneath the pictures. She then pretended her master had explained the book to her and explained the annotations to the three people in plain language.
Kang Yuanfeng was very puzzled, "Sister, this writing is different from ours." He didn't know how to read, but he had seen the words on the plaques of shops in the town, and they were written differently.
Before Kang Yueran could find an excuse, Kang Yuanchen spoke first, "Dayong is so big. The farthest we've been is the town. This is our first time in the county. It's not surprising to see words and things we haven't seen before."
Dayong's calligraphy is in small seal script, which is completely different from regular script. In modern times, she was particularly fascinated by Li Yangbing for a period of time and practiced seal script for a period of time, and could recognize more than a thousand characters.
Huang was happy to see the four of them. She cooled a large pot of water and placed it on the table in the yard. She took the needle and thread and continued to make clothes.
Ye and Kang Yuanhao sat next to Huang, drinking water and eating snacks, while Zhao tactfully hid in the room and did not come out.
I had no worries about food and drink, and I got up early every day to practice. Although it was tiring, it was also very enjoyable. This kind of life lasted for more than ten days.
Kang Yueran had inquired about the route to the prefectural capital, and there were many disaster victims around the prefectural capital. Entering the prefectural capital was more troublesome than entering the county town. In addition to silver, the household registration book was also required.
Kang Yuanchen's family did have a household registration book. Although it was soaked, the words on it could still be seen. Kang Yueran's family did not have a separate household registration book.
Fortunately, Anzhou was hit by a flood, and many people's household registration books were lost or damaged.
Kang Yueran took the separation documents to the government office and spent some money to get a new household registration book. Kang Yuanchen took the opportunity to ask the government office to help him replace the new one.
The preparations were almost done, but Kang Yueran didn't suggest leaving. She wanted everyone to rest for a few more days because they would start getting busy once they arrived in the provincial capital.
She wanted to stay, but God was in a hurry to get rid of her.
In the middle of the night, Kang Yueran was awakened by the crying and shouting from next door. She sat up suddenly, quickly put on her coat, and quietly opened the door a crack to listen carefully.
Next door, there were sounds of weapons clashing, men laughing, and women crying and cursing...
