After a day of chaos and war, the Lin family went to bed late. When the sky was slightly bright, they were still asleep.
By the time they got up, the sun had already risen.
In order to keep up with the progress, everyone started to pack up their things quickly. Little Bell was successfully woken up and crawled out of the tent in a daze.
Last night, only a large tent was set up. The women and children slept inside, while the men simply spread out hay and bedding outside to make do for the night. Old Man Jiang was among them.
Seeing that he was still sleeping, Xiao Lingling tiptoed over to him.
She had already made up her mind last night that she would find a way to keep this strange old man here.
There are two main reasons. One is that she wants to learn martial arts. After all, spiritual power and magic should be used as little as possible. Firstly, her body cannot bear it, and secondly, it is difficult to explain.
The second one was that she wanted to study medicine. She knew a lot about plants, but she lacked knowledge about pathology.
She might be able to treat external injuries now, but she doesn't know much about other things like headaches and colds.
She wanted to use her knowledge of plants to study medicine, and then she could treat the wives of wealthy families. This was the fastest way to make money, just like the wife of the twins last time, wasn't she?
Not only can you make money, but you can also accumulate merits. It's like killing two birds with one stone.
But, this old man doesn't seem to be short of money. Although he is greedy for delicious food, what good food can't he eat if he has money?
So, the best way is to make him interested in you.
She didn't miss the glowing look in the old man's eyes yesterday, and he talked to her grandfather about her talent for a long time. However, she still had to add some extra spice!
So she moved closer to Old Man Jiang, and gently rubbed his waist with her small hands for a while, while quietly injecting some spiritual power into it without making a sound.
This sprained waist is not a particularly serious illness. Xiao Lingdang can rub it in half a cup of tea and it will be almost healed.
Perhaps it was because the massage from Xiao Lingling was quite comfortable that Old Man Jiang woke up in a daze. Feeling the warmth coming from his waist, he let out a sigh.
Little Bell thought it was about time, so she stopped and said, "Try it, does it still hurt?"
Old man Jiang also felt that the pain seemed to be less severe. He slowly sat up with his hands on the ground, shaking his upper body with a look of surprise on his face.
"Huh? It really doesn't hurt anymore! This is much faster than taking medicine, even faster than acupuncture."
He turned his head and looked at the calm Xiao Lingling, his eyes revealing a hint of inquiry and deep thought, "What did you just do?"
Of course, Xiao Lingling couldn't say anything. She shook her head mysteriously and said, "I didn't do anything. I just rubbed it for you because it hurt. What's the big deal? I just naturally know how to rub it without hurting."
Old Man Jiang didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just looked at her with burning eyes.
"Little girl, are you willing to learn medicine from me? If you are willing, you will be my last disciple in the future, and I will teach you everything I know. What do you think?"
Little Bell rubbed her hands happily behind her back, but she was in no hurry to agree.
"I also want to learn martial arts, the kind you used to run away in a flash when you stole the chicken yesterday."
Seeing Xiao Lingdang talking about yesterday's embarrassing incident, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Old Man Jiang's face. "Well, I'm only a mediocre kung fu master, not that great. Do you really want to learn?"
"Yeah! I want to learn!"
No matter how half-baked he is, it is still better than her who has no idea at all.
Seeing this, Old Man Jiang didn't hesitate. "That's fine! As long as you accept me as your master, I will teach you everything I know, including kung fu. But how much you can learn and what you can achieve depends on your own talent. What do you think? I'm sincere enough, don't you want to become my master?"
Xiao Lingdang didn't answer him in a hurry. She ran over and pulled Lin Hao, who was washing up, over.
"I can become your disciple, but I have to take my second brother with me. He doesn't want to learn anything else but Kung Fu. Can you teach him too?"
Old Man Jiang originally thought that she was unwilling and felt a little disappointed, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
However, no matter how stupid he was, he realized it now. This little girl was clearly fishing.
Although he wanted to accept a disciple, he didn't want to mislead his students. "Come here, I'll touch your muscles and bones."
Xiao Lingling naturally did not refuse, and went up to let him touch her thick arms and calves.
Lin Hao was listening to the conversation between the two people with an excited look on his face, and his body seemed a little stiff.
"Little sister, can I, can I learn Kung Fu? If I learn it, can I fly like he did yesterday?"
Old Man Jiang was feeling his bones when he nearly choked on his saliva. "Ahem, ahem, ahem, if we don't talk about yesterday, there's still something to talk about!"
Lin Hao quickly shut up and said nothing more, his back very straight, only his eyes were darting around excitedly.
After touching them, Old Man Jiang couldn't help but sigh, "You two kids do have good roots, and are a good candidate for martial arts. But as I said, my kung fu is only half-baked, and I can't even rank high in the martial arts world."
However, you can also learn some basic skills from me. How about this, little girl, you take me as your master, and I will teach you medicine.
As for Kung Fu, I'll just give you two a basic introduction. I'm lucky enough to know a few good Kung Fu practitioners. When I have the chance, I'll find two to teach you Kung Fu. How about that?"
Lin Hao was so happy that he wanted to kneel down and become his disciple, but was stopped by Old Man Jiang.
"You don't need to become my disciple. I'm just laying a foundation for you. It won't be too late to become my disciple when I find a good master for you later."
Anyway, he has taught the brat apprentice before, and it was so troublesome. Anyway, he doesn't plan to accept him as an apprentice again.
But this little girl is okay, she is quite cute with her spooky and mischievous look, so she looked at the little bell with eager eyes.
Little Bell said, "I can become your disciple, but I'm still young and can't leave my parents~~"
Old Man Jiang waved his hand and said, "If you don't want to leave, then don't leave. I'm tired from running around outside, so I'll just stay with your family for a while. But as your master, I don't have to pay for your food, right?"
After hearing this, Xiao Lingling knelt down obediently to pay homage to the master, but after just one kowtow, she was pulled up by Old Man Jiang.
"Alright, alright, alright, one is enough. Hehehe, from now on, I, an old man, will also have female disciples. Be good, and you will be my last disciple from now on.
When we have the chance, Master will take you to ask your brothers for gifts! Here, this is the gift from Master for you, take it quickly."
As he spoke, Old Man Jiang took out a small bag from his arms, a very small one.
Little Lingling took it curiously, opened it, and found that it was actually a row of nine golden needles!
If her senior brothers were here, they would probably be furious to death after seeing this scene.
They had been asking for it for many years but failed to get it, but the junior sister took it away at the first sight. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others!
