Chapter 108

He Tianshu sighed and said, "Xiaohua, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but, first, the inner strength method that I learned is only for the disciples of the Misty School. It cannot be taught to anyone who isn't a disciple of the school. If it is discovered that it was taught privately, not only will I be punished by the Discipline Hall, you will also be crippled of your martial arts. Second, this inner strength method is not like fist techniques. It requires talent. If your talent is not good, then you will not have any progress after practicing for several years.

Did your second brother also tell you this?

He can't teach you inner strength. "

Zhang Xiaohua nodded disappointedly and said, "Yes, second brother also said this."

He Tianshu rubbed Zhang Xiaohua's head and said, "Go back. Everyone has their own fate. The heavens have already arranged it. If you have this fate, then perhaps in the near future, you will be able to get what you want. Otherwise, even if you try your best, you will gain nothing."

Zhang Xiaohua lowered his head and disappointedly followed He Tianshu back.

Under the oil lamp, Zhang Xiaohua carefully read a book. This was not a fist technique, but some books that Li Jinfeng had left for him. During the period of recovery, he had developed a habit of reading some books at night. No matter if it was a fist technique or a book, if he didn't read it, it would seem that something was missing.

He had read all the fist technique manuals that could be read, and only the books were left. There were countless books, enough for Zhang Xiaohua to read for a lifetime.

Suddenly, he saw the words "Reviewing the old to learn the new" and "Learning while practicing" in the book. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but be moved. He carefully put down the book and closed his eyes to think about the fist technique manuals that he had memorized. There was no special reason why he didn't tell He Tianshu this today. It was like a child who had gotten his favorite toy and would not immediately tell the adults. The child would take it out to show off at an unexpected moment to surprise the adults. He would then look at the adults' stunned expressions and laugh loudly. That was all.

Zhang Xiaohua also had the same thought, but most importantly, he still did not have confidence in himself. He was afraid that he would not be able to master these fist techniques. Rather than saying it now, it would not be too late to say it when he really mastered them.

Fortunately, with Zhang Xiaohua's thoughts, that fist technique was like a river, and she could still clearly recall it. However, Zhang Xiaohua's expression did not change. She raised her right hand and looked at the bandage. She touched it with her left hand for a moment, but still did not take it off.

Late at night, Zhang Xiaohua blew out the light and fell asleep peacefully.

In the next few days, Zhang Xiaohua followed Nie Xiao Er to familiarize herself with the planting of various medicinal herbs during the day, and practiced the horse stance at night.

However, Zhang Xiaohua didn't know that Elder Yu, whom he hadn't seen for several months, would come to visit them every night.

That night, Zhang Xiaohua was still reading under the oil lamp when she heard someone knocking on the door.

Zhang Xiaohua was startled. This was the first time someone had knocked on the door at night. Thus, she put down her book and opened the door. Using the light in the room, it was actually the one-armed Elder Yu.

Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised. "Elder Yu, how are you? Please come in."

After Zhang Xiaohua invited Elder Yu into the room and invited him to sit on the chair, she said, "Elder Yu, I've been back for many days, but I haven't seen you. Are you very busy?"

Elder Yu smiled. "Not to mention that you've only been back for a few days, how many times have you seen me during the month you stayed in the villa?"

Zhang Xiaohua said, "It's because I haven't seen you for several months, so I'm a little surprised. Why are you here today?"

Elder Yu said, "It's nothing much. I just heard that you're back, so I came to take a look at your injuries."

Zhang Xiaohua was a little flattered. "Thank you for your concern, Elder Yu. I should be fine now. I'll get Captain He to take a look tomorrow and remove the bandage."

Elder Yu waved his hand. "There's no need to wait until tomorrow. I'll help you remove it now. The recovery of a bone injury isn't something that can be determined in a day or two."

Zhang Xiaohua was more curious about Elder Yu's attitude. From the first time they met, he was neither cold nor indifferent to her. Why was he so concerned about her today? It was thought-provoking.

However, Elder Yu was an old man after all, and he was concerned about her. Zhang Xiaohua also respected her elders, so Zhang Xiaohua allowed Elder Yu to remove the bandage on her hand.

In fact, Zhang Xiaohua's injuries were already healed. The bandage was just a form of psychological sustenance. Just as Elder Yu said, there was no difference whether he removed it today or tomorrow. Thus, even though Elder Yu only had one right hand, he was still able to remove the bandage easily with Zhang Xiaohua's help.

Zhang Xiaohua's right hand didn't look any different from before. It was just that her skin was abnormally pale, probably due to the lack of light.

Elder Yu didn't immediately examine Zhang Xiaohua's fingers. Instead, he said, "Try clenching your fist first."

Zhang Xiaohua obeyed and tried to retract her fingers. This was a very normal action in the past, but now, it was abnormally clumsy. Even her fingers didn't seem to listen to her. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua's fingers were retracted to a certain extent. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move them further. In other words, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't even clench her fist.

Zhang Xiaohua panicked. "Elder Yu, what's going on?

My hand … Why is my hand like this? "

Elder Yu said amiably, "Don't be anxious. It's always like this after an injury. In the future, you have to practice retracting your fingers frequently. It'll take time for you to recover.

Now, let me take a look at the details of your bones. "

Then, Elder Yu used his thumb and index finger to pinch Zhang Xiaohua's fingers. He examined them inch by inch. After a long while, he finally finished examining. Elder Yu raised his head. Under the light of the oil lamp, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't see his expression.

Zhang Xiaohua wanted to ask, but when she looked at her hand, she didn't see anything wrong with it, so she didn't ask.

Elder Yu also didn't tell Zhang Xiaohua about the recovery of her bones. Instead, he asked her, "Why do you want to learn martial arts?"

Zhang Xiaohua was baffled. She didn't understand and replied, "Of course it's to protect my family."

"Other than protecting your family, what else will you do if you learn martial arts?" Elder Yu asked.

Zhang Xiaohua furrowed her brows and answered honestly, "No, I haven't thought that much. Right now, I just want to practice my fist techniques."

This time, it was Elder Yu's turn to furrow his brows. He asked again, "Then after you learn martial arts, will you help the weak and help the strong? Will you help the weak?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua's mind immediately flashed with the scene of her and her father being bullied in Lu Town, and the scene of her and her elder brother being trampled on the ground by the strong people of Xi Cui Mountain. She couldn't help but feel her blood boil. She spat out, "Of course I will. If I learn martial arts and have the ability to help others and help the weak, of course I will do it."

Elder Yu asked again, "Then are you sure that the weak are wronged and should be helped?"

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled. "Elder Yu, this, I don't understand. If the weak don't have a reason, why would they provoke the strong?"

Elder Yu smiled and said, "This question is a bit difficult. You're still young and don't understand people's hearts. Perhaps you'll understand in the future."

Then, he asked again, "Then if you want to help the weak and help the strong, but the strong person's martial arts are stronger than yours, will you help?"

This sentence made Zhang Xiaohua not know how to answer. This time in Lu Town, of course, it was Zhang Xiaolong who stepped forward bravely. He wasn't afraid of the strong, but the result was also disastrous. She remembered it clearly. Mr. Liu and Liu Kai also reminded her to act according to her ability. This question was really hard to answer.

However, in an instant, a thought flashed through her mind. Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Isn't this the reason why I have to continuously practice fist techniques and even internal strength?"

Elder Yu furrowed his brows and then relaxed. He didn't ask Zhang Xiaohua any more questions. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xiaohua's right hand and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, although the bones in your right hand have healed, it was still damaged by internal strength. It's no longer the same as before. It's like a broken vase. No matter how much it's repaired, it can still be used. However, the cracks in the vase still exist. This can't be repaired easily. If you're not careful, it can still be broken.

This will be a huge hindrance to your martial arts. You must be mentally prepared. "

Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand the seriousness of the problem. She smiled and said, "This situation, the escort agency's doctor has already told me. I'll slowly recover. Bones can grow back. After all, it's different from a vase.

As long as I can practice fist techniques and internal strength, it's fine. I'm not thinking of saving the entire martial arts world. "

Elder Yu sighed and didn't say anything else. He only nodded his head and told Zhang Xiaohua to rest early. He then turned around and left.

Zhang Xiaohua sent him to the door. Looking at Elder Yu's back in the night, she was very puzzled. This old man had stayed in her room for so long and asked so many questions. What exactly did he want?

Zhang Xiaohua didn't think that it was as simple as removing the bandages and checking on her injuries.

However, what exactly was the reason? Zhang Xiaohua couldn't figure it out even after thinking for a long time. However, time was the answer to all questions. When the time came, she would naturally know. Zhang Xiaohua fell asleep as she thought about it. She didn't even blow out the oil lamp.

The next morning, Zhang Xiaohua went to the place where He Tianshu and the others were practicing martial arts as usual. As he walked, he stretched and stretched his fingers, continuously practicing.

As usual, Zhang Xiaohua was the first to arrive. He didn't get into the horse stance. Instead, he clenched his fists and tried out a few fist techniques.

He realized that even if he didn't clench his fists, he could still execute a complete move without any discomfort. It was just that when his right hand changed between fist and palm, it was a little sluggish and his fingers were a little stiff. Presumably, through his continuous practice, it would gradually improve in the future.

Thinking about how he didn't dare to practice martial arts for fear of affecting the recovery of his fingers, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but find it funny. If he had known earlier, he would have started practicing martial arts a long time ago. He wouldn't have to watch He Tianshu and the others practice martial arts every day while he himself was in the horse stance.

However, he had forgotten that he couldn't clench his fists before removing the bandages.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was happily practicing, He Tianshu and the others came over. He Tianshu smiled and greeted Zhang Xiaohua, "Zhang Xiaohua, why are you up so early?

Are you impatient to remove the bandages? "

Zhang Xiaohua grinned as he stretched out his right hand and clenched his fist. He boasted, "Captain He, look, I've already removed the bandages. It's just that my fingers still can't bend completely. I still need to train more."

He Tianshu scolded with a smile, "Child, you're really impatient. Didn't we agree to remove it today? Why did you remove it by yourself?"

Zhang Xiaohua replied seriously, "Captain He, you're wrongly accusing me. I listened to you and was prepared to let you remove it today. However, Elder Yu came to my room last night and removed it for me."

He Tianshu asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Thus, Zhang Xiaohua told He Tianshu everything that happened last night. He Tianshu was also confused, but when he heard Elder Yu's questions for Zhang Xiaohua, he furrowed his brows. Elder Yu was clearly admiring Zhang Xiaohua's character. Could it be that Elder Yu wanted to take in a disciple?

However, He Tianshu wasn't too clear about Elder Yu's background. He had only vaguely heard about him from others. He could be considered a figure in the pugilistic world. If he was interested in Zhang Xiaohua, then it was Zhang Xiaohua's fortune. But what about Zhang Xiaohua's hands?

He Tianshu couldn't help but feel suspicious. Then, he felt relieved. This was someone else's business. He couldn't accept Zhang Xiaohua no matter what, so why should he worry about it?

Then, he thought of the few questions Zhang Xiaohua had answered and thought to himself, 'This Zhang Xiaohua is really an honest child. If he was a little smarter, he would have climbed up the pole long ago. Even if he didn't fill the sky with lotuses, he would definitely not give up. At the very least, he would have made a statement for justice, for peace, and for the happiness of the people of Jianghu. Sigh, who knew that this Zhang Xiaohua only cared about protecting his family and practicing his fist techniques. He actually didn't understand the hidden meaning in Elder Yu's words. If he did, he would have knelt on the ground and begged Elder Yu to accept him.

What a pity.

But, if that was the case, would she still be Zhang Xiaohua?

He Tianshu shook his head. This Zhang Xiaohua wasn't the down-to-earth Zhang Xiaohua that everyone liked. The pugilistic world still needed people who could do things.

When Zhang Xiaohua saw He Tianshu shaking his head and knitting his brows, he couldn't help asking, "Captain He, Elder Yu is doing this for my own good. He wants to take a look at my injuries, so please don't be angry."

He Tianshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glared at her and said, "Am I that petty?

Are you angry that someone took off your bandage first? "

Zhang Xiaohua stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak.

Then, she said, "Captain He, since you're not angry, then I've removed the bandage. I want to practice my fist technique. Can you give me some pointers?"

When He Tianshu heard this, he immediately took half a step back and prepared to use his qinggong. He said, "How about this, you first do some recovery exercises and revise your previous fist techniques. As for the new fist techniques, I'll ask Nie Xiao Er to teach you, okay?"

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Xiaohua's reply and ran away with his qinggong.

Zhang Xiaohua was left behind and asked curiously, "Why did you run away so fast? Captain He, I didn't plan on asking you to teach me. I've already memorized a lot of fist techniques. I just wanted you to watch from the side. Why did you run away?"

Then, just as she was about to look for Nie Xiao 'er and the others, she found that they were nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Xiaohua felt a burst of admiration. It was so good to have qinggong.

Since there was no one to guide her, Zhang Xiaohua didn't mind. She had so many fist techniques in her mind and every set was deeply engraved in her memory. If she wanted to perform them all, it wasn't impossible. She didn't need anyone to teach her.

Thinking about this, the corners of Zhang Xiaohua's mouth slowly curled up. She thought to herself, "Wait until I've practiced all the fist techniques. See if I don't get a dustpan to collect your dropped jaws."

Thus, Zhang Xiaohua took up a stance and began her first practice after recovering from her injury.

Zhang Xiaohua had a lot of fist techniques in her mind. She didn't deliberately choose one and just randomly picked one. She narrowed her eyes and searched her memory. Then, she started practicing with the figure in her mind.

After the first practice, it could be said to be perfect. It was almost exactly the same as Zhang Xiaohua's memory. Zhang Xiaohua was extremely happy. Could it be that she really wasn't trash?

Was there a problem with Captain He's teaching method?

Could it be that only by looking at the fist techniques and memorizing them in her mind could she truly learn the complete fist techniques?

A series of questions prompted Zhang Xiaohua to immediately practice a second time. The result was very satisfactory. He didn't miss any moves. Unfortunately, it was already late. There wasn't much time for Zhang Xiaohua to verify it a third time. He hurried to the dining room.

However, Zhang Xiaohua didn't, or maybe he didn't even notice that the figure in his mind had faded a lot. It wasn't as clear as before.

Now, Zhang Xiaohua had already gotten into character. He followed Nie Xiao Er to do some basic chores. He was already very used to using his left hand. His left hand could complete everything very flexibly. However, when he wasn't very busy or felt that he had time, Zhang Xiaohua insisted on using his right hand, even though it was a little clumsy.

Today, he deliberately used his right hand, such as holding a small shovel, small scissors, and so on. This was because he knew that only by training his right hand as soon as possible could he truly learn the fist techniques as soon as possible. This was because he could already perform a complete set of fist techniques today. Just thinking about it made his heart burn.

After dinner, Zhang Xiaohua went to the practice area early. However, he didn't stay in the same place. Instead, he walked outside for a while, far away from He Tianshu and the others. However, he didn't have to worry that He Tianshu couldn't find him. Although it was far away, there were lanterns hanging on the trees.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua thought, as soon as He Tianshu and the others went out, they saw Zhang Xiaohua's lantern from afar. They thought that he was shy and didn't want to show his incomplete moves. He Tianshu even praised Zhang Xiaohua in his heart. Now that his injury was healed, he knew how to be shy. In the past, he was very thick-skinned when practicing fist techniques. He forgot one move after another without blushing.

Zhang Xiaohua stood under the tree and calmed his emotions. He slowly practiced the set of fist techniques again in the morning. He could actually finish it without missing a move. He was naturally very happy. He could finally confirm that he could finish a set of fist techniques. How could he not be happy?

Just as he was about to run over to He Tianshu to report the good news, he remembered that He Tianshu was also practicing. He could wait until tomorrow. Thus, he began to think about whether he could practice the second set of fist techniques. He practiced as he wished. The moves of the fist techniques were all in his mind. Zhang Xiaohua didn't stop practicing the second set. Sure enough, the effect was as obvious as the first set. He could still perform it completely.

Thus, Zhang Xiaohua was very excited. He practiced the two sets of fist techniques from beginning to end, over and over again.
