The days that followed were truly difficult for Liu Shihua.
Getting up early in the morning isn't a big deal; he gets up very early at home too.
The key point is that every morning after getting up, he and his sister would follow Elder Hua to learn some kind of health-preserving exercise.
To be honest, he was quite excited when he first found out he could learn kung fu.
He only realized how powerful it was after he started learning it.
They're both human, so why is there such a big difference between him and his sister?
We learned together, and my younger sister picked it up very quickly and could perform the movements perfectly with ease.
He, on the other hand, was much less skilled; he had to practice a single movement ten or eight times before he could learn it.
Therefore, in his eyes, his younger sister became someone else's child.
This feeling was a new experience for Liu Shihua, a bittersweet one.
After completing the course, he was to go out with Master Hua to buy groceries, and then return to receive Master Hua's guidance on making medicinal cuisine.
In addition to these, he also took care of all the housework at Hua's house.
As for Liu Shile, she seemed to have it much easier, but memorizing so many books in such a short time is not easy.
Moreover, sometimes Hua Lao would pull her aside to identify medicinal herbs, and sometimes he would have her sort them.
Therefore, although she has a good memory, she still struggles a bit with this kind of high-intensity memorization and learning.
This left her with very little time to tend to the plants on the farm.
She will prepare for the harvest and plant the crops on the twenty-odd acres of land that can be controlled with a single click.
The cherry tree she obtained through bargaining with the system was moved to wasteland after it grew up.
When Liu Shile first saw the fruit that had grown, she thought the system was lying to her.
It's clearly a cherry tree, but they insist on giving it a different name and calling it a "cherry".
When she saw the ripe fruit, she realized that it really was different from cherries.
Whether in terms of color, size, or sweetness, it seems to be superior to cherries.
However, since they are all exported from farms, the differences are actually very subtle and most people can't tell the difference.
But Liu Shile is no ordinary person, so she naturally noticed the difference in the taste and fell in love with it at first bite.
So she didn't even bother to throw away the fruit pit, and planted it directly in a hole dug in the wasteland.
As for whether they will take root and sprout, Liu Shile is not worried at all.
Anyway, she has two mature, high-yield fruit trees, and it's not convenient for her to share them with others, so it's enough for her to eat.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
After memorizing the last medical book, Liu Shile stretched lazily.
For the past month, Liu Shile has hardly left the house and has spent most of her time in that study.
Because she hadn't been exposed to much sunlight for a month, and because Elder Hua had carefully prepared medicinal meals for her, her health improved and her skin became as radiant as snow.
Even her once thin, pointed chin has gained some weight, making her face look chubby.
Her face was delicate and petite, but now that she's gained some weight, coupled with her flawless skin that has a faint rosy glow, she looks soft and adorable.
Looking at the little girl who was raised to be fair-skinned, tender, soft, and adorable, Mr. Hua felt a great sense of accomplishment.
When Liu Shile left the study, she saw an old man and a young man playing chess.
She didn't disturb them, but stood aside and watched silently.
His elder brother was clearly no match for Elder Hua, and thus suffered a swift defeat.
Old Hua naturally noticed the little girl who had come out, and felt a little reluctant to part with her.
In just one month, the girl displayed a talent for martial arts and medicine that he had never seen before.
He truly wished he could keep the person by his side and teach them properly, but alas.
He won't leave, and the little girl can't stay either.
Sometimes, he wished his little girl could be even more outstanding.
But sometimes, he would like the little girl to perform worse.
He did not show this conflicting feeling.
And now, he knew it was time to part ways with this little girl.
"Girl, have you finished memorizing?"
He was reluctant to part, but knew that separation was inevitable, so he asked with a smile.
Liu Shile nodded, her bright eyes filled with a smile.
"Okay, I've finished reciting it. Master, would you like to test me?"
She had a sweet smile and a crisp voice, making her a delight to behold.
In fact, she not only memorized all those books, but also took pictures of all the books in the study with her antique phone.
After spending the past month together, she could feel how kind Mr. Hua was to her.
If she was somewhat reluctant to become a disciple before, she is now glad that she called out to her master back then.
Otherwise, we would miss out on such a wonderful teacher.
Hua Zhenghe shook his head, "That's not necessary. Come back in a year and I'll test you properly."
At this point, he straightened his expression and said seriously, "There's something I need to tell you all."
Seeing his serious expression, Liu Shile and Liu Shihua immediately became serious as well.
Hua Zhenghe nodded upon seeing this, "Those people who were searching for you all last time were enemy agents who had been lying in wait."
Liu Shihua's eyes widened instantly; she could hardly believe her ears. Enemy agent?
Liu Shile's expression didn't change much. Although she didn't know the situation of those people, she knew they were not simple.
Seeing his young apprentice so composed, Hua Zhenghe was even more satisfied.
He added, "According to their confession, this was a special mission, but it was sabotaged."
They suspected that the person who sabotaged their plans was the person in the portrait, which was why they were searching for him.
"Uh, so we actually turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise?" Liu Shile blinked, clearly not expecting this outcome.
In her mind, once those people were caught, they would inevitably start tearing each other apart and trying to implicate her and her brother.
result?
Hua Zhenghe smiled and nodded, but then quickly composed himself.
He said seriously, "Since you've already memorized all of that, then go over this afternoon to give a statement."
Then, he glanced at Liu Shihua and said to him, "Remember to stay calm and answer truthfully."
During this time, Hua Zhenghe also thoroughly understood the experiences of the brother and sister when they came, so he had a clear understanding of the situation.
Then he said to Liu Shile, "I told them that you were a disciple I took in when I was traveling. Remember that."
Otherwise, how could she explain her skills?
Liu Shile truly didn't expect her master to say that, and even help her cover up the lie.
Her heart warmed; this man truly cared for her as if she were his personal disciple!
A glint flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
She nodded and replied with a smile, "Master, I understand, don't worry."
"Um, when are you planning to go home?"
Hua Zhenghe trusted his young apprentice and changed the subject.
He was somewhat reluctant, but he still had to ask the questions he needed to, so that he could prepare and explain some things.
Liu Shile wasn't stupid; she could naturally tell the difference in her teacher's voice.
