Chapter 63

"I want to go too." A voice rang out from the corner.

Everyone was stunned again.

Zhang Xiaohu turned around and saw that it was Zhang Xiaohua who was sitting in the corner.

Guo Sufei said angrily, "Xiaohua, what are you doing? Your second brother is going to find a wife. You are still young, why are you going to Ping Yang City?"

Zhang Xiaohu could not take it anymore and said angrily, "Mother, I am not just going to find a wife. Look at what you are saying."

Guo Sufei looked at Zhang Xiaohu with a smile. She was about to say something when Zhang Xiaohua's answer surprised everyone.

"I want to go to Ping Yang City to learn martial arts!"

"Learn martial arts?

Why? "Everyone was puzzled.

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua had already walked out from the corner and stood at the door. He looked up at his small face and said to everyone, "Actually, since Lu Zhen met sister-in-law, I have been thinking about why we were bullied but had no strength to fight back. It was not until this time when I was injured by the bandits during the wedding ceremony that I knew the answer. It was because we did not have martial arts. We did not have enough strength to make people fear us. If I knew martial arts, those people would definitely not dare to attack us.

Moreover, didn't Uncle just say that the bandits of Xi Cui Mountain might come to our door? There is no guarantee that we will always rely on others' protection. Only when we have mastered martial arts can we truly face the bandits. "

After saying this, Zhang Xiaohua looked back outside. The courtyard was already dark and there were faint stars in the sky. He said again, "Only when I learn martial arts can I protect myself and everyone."

After listening to Zhang Xiaohua's words, everyone's reaction was different. Mr. Liu and Liu Kai looked at him in surprise. Last time at the wedding ceremony, Zhang Xiaohua's handwriting had already made them admire it. Now, after listening to his words, they could not help but re-evaluate this young man who had just turned thirteen.

Butcher Liu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Zhang Xiaolong's face was filled with shame, but looking at this younger brother that he had brought up since he was a child, there was a faint pride in his heart.

Zhang Xiaohu, on the other hand, had a look of joy on his face. He seemed to have been enlightened and found his direction again. He happily looked at his younger brother who was a head shorter than him.

Guo Sufei and Zhang Cai looked at each other and frowned again. They were not thinking about their own safety, but the safety of their son.

Only Liu Qian looked calm, as if she had expected Zhang Xiaohua's words.

It was Mr. Liu who spoke first. He said, "Xiaohua, I think this idea of yours is very correct. However, I've never learned martial arts before, so I can't give you any advice. I only heard that learning martial arts is very difficult, and it's not something that can be learned overnight. Moreover, learning martial arts has a lot of risks. If you're not careful, you'll be injured, and if you're not careful, you'll lose your life.

Besides, you're a smart kid. Why don't you learn from me in the future?

You'll be able to bring honor to your ancestors if you pass the imperial examinations in the future. "

Liu Kai also advised, "As the old saying goes, the poor study while the rich practice martial arts. Learning martial arts is not something that poor people like us can do. Xiaohua's handwriting was so good the last time. Learning from my father is also a very healthy path to success."

Guo Sufei and Zhang Cai still did not speak, only frowning.

Zhang Xiaohu said, "That's true. Xiaohua, why don't you stay at home to learn your literature? I'll go to Ping Yang City to learn martial arts. I'm already grown up now, my parents won't be worried. You're just a kid, how can they let you go so far?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at everyone and asked, "Learning literature can protect one's family from being harassed by mountain bandits?

Learning literature can eliminate violence and bring peace to the people? "

Everyone was speechless.

Zhang Cai asked, "How are you going to learn martial arts in Ping Yang City?"

Zhang Xiaohua said, "Isn't Hero Wen, who saved us in Lu Town, at the Misty School in Ping Yang City? If I look for him, I might be able to learn some martial arts."

Guo Sufei said, "Xiaohua, you're still young. Can't you go when you're older?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said to her mother, "Mother, one's ambition is not determined by age. Moreover, I'm not young anymore. I should be like Second Brother and find my own path. Otherwise, I won't be able to find a suitable wife."

Zhang Xiaohua's words made Guo Sufei burst out laughing. She said, "You're still so young and you're already thinking about a wife."

Zhang Cai thought for a while and said, "Xiaolong, Qianqian, you two bring Xiaohu and Xiaohua back to sleep first. Your mother and I will think about it again."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaolong got up and went home with Liu Qian, Zhang Xiaohu, and Zhang Xiaohua.

Only the five adults were left in the main room.

Zhang Cai asked Mr. Liu, "What do you think about the matter between the two of them?"

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "No matter what the matter is, I still have to congratulate you for having two promising children.

At such a young age, they can worry about family matters and have the courage to face it and think of their own ways. It's really a blessing for you. "

Zhang Cai was very happy in his heart, but he still waved his hand and said, "These are all children's crazy words. You don't have to take it seriously."

Mr. Liu said with a straight face, "I'm not flattering the in-laws. How many children from the countryside have this kind of knowledge and experience, to be able to say such words?

However, he is indeed still young and doesn't know the dangers of the outside world. Going out to gain experience is also a good thing. Moreover, there's still Xiaohu. With Xiaohu taking care of him, you can rest assured.

When he knows the dangers of the outside world, he will definitely miss the warmth of home. You don't need to say anything, he will come back on his own. Maybe Xiaohu will meet a suitable girl at that time and it's not impossible for them to come back together. "

Liu Kai interrupted and said, "Uncle, I don't think it's a bad thing for Xiaohua to go out. I feel that Xiaohua isn't a simple child. Staying in a small village like ours all day might bury him. Maybe he will have an opportunity when he goes out and can do big things."

Zhang Cai smiled bitterly and said, "What big things? I don't hope for him to be successful. As long as he marries and has children and lives a stable life, we will be satisfied.

The big things are done by the people in town. We, the people in the countryside, only need to take care of the crops. "

Guo Sufei was unhappy and said, "They are all nobles and generals. I still remember when I gave birth to Xiaohua, the sky was filled with flying flowers. Maybe my son will do big things."

However, she then said in puzzlement, "But Ping Yang City is too far away. Why don't we let him practice martial arts in Lu Town? It's near. When I miss him, I can go and visit him. If it's too far away, it won't be convenient to go."

Butcher Liu said, "That's right. Isn't there an Evil Tiger Clan in Lu Town?

He can go there to practice martial arts. "

Hearing the words "Evil Tiger Clan", Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei's hearts jumped. Weren't the bodyguards of that evil tyrant from last time also from the Evil Tiger Clan? Looking at them helping the tyrant, they weren't good people. Moreover, they had so many banknotes of unknown origin at home. How could they let Xiaohua go to the Evil Tiger Clan?

Guo Sufei asked Mr Liu, "Then in-law, do you agree with them going?"

Mr Liu nodded and said, "Yes. We scholars have a saying, 'Read ten thousand books and you can travel a thousand miles'. Only by going out and broadening your horizons can you truly learn the things in the books.

I think it's the same for practicing martial arts. However, in this small mountain village, even the most talented person will be short-sighted.

I agree with them going out. "

Liu Kai also nodded with a smile and said, "I've been to Ping Yang City before. At most, I'll bring them there. However, this doesn't seem to be in line with their original intention. I'll tell them the details later. Xiaohu is all grown up. There won't be any problems."

Butcher Liu said, "Why go? It's so relaxing to stay at home. I don't agree."

Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei looked at each other and said, "Let's think about this again and come up with a suitable solution."

Then, the few of them chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they bid farewell and went home.

At night, Guo Sufei and Zhang Cai also discussed for half the night. They only went to sleep when the sun was about to rise.

Butcher Liu and Liu Kai could not stay in the Guozhuang House for too long. After breakfast, they hurriedly bid farewell. Before leaving, Liu Kai told Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua about the route to Ping Yang City and the things to take note of in detail. Both of them memorized it carefully. Looking at Liu Kai's expression, they could tell that their parents had been convinced last night. Both of them could not help but smile.

After sending Butcher Liu and Liu Kai off, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua were preparing to go to work in the fields. Only then did they realize that if both of them left, what would happen to the family's fields? Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have noticed something.

Zhang Xiaolong and Liu Qian, who were walking together, seemed to know what they were thinking. Zhang Xiaolong said, "The two of you can go ahead and see the outside world. As for the family's fields, I've already discussed it with your sister-in-law last night. The original plot of land at home will be planted by Father. The plot of land by the river and the plot of land on the slope will be planted by me and your sister-in-law. Together with Mother, how can the four of us not take care of these two and a half plots of land?"

Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu looked at their elder brother and sister-in-law. They did not say anything, but their hearts were filled with warmth.

For the next few days, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei did not mention this matter again. Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua could not help but feel anxious. Could it be that if they did not agree, this matter would fall through? Both of them even thought of sneaking out on their own.

After dinner that day, Zhang Cai stopped both of them. Both of them could not help but feel their hearts thumping wildly. It seemed like it was time to reveal the truth. As expected, Zhang Cai said, "I've discussed with your mother about the matter of the two of you going to Ping Yang City. We still feel that we should listen to you. Your mother has already rushed out some clothes for the two of you. Take them with you."

With that, Guo Sufei took out a few sets of new clothes from the inner room. It seemed like they had been rushed out in the past few days.

Zhang Xiaohua felt a lump in her throat. The elderly were really worried about their children. They had thought of everything. She, on the other hand, had thought that they would not be allowed to go and had other ideas.

Looking at Liu Qian's smiling face, she thought that her sister-in-law must have put in a lot of effort to get the clothes.

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said to Liu Qian, "Sister-in-law, since you knew that Father and Mother wanted us to go, why didn't you tell us? Why did you make us anxious for nothing?"

Liu Qian said, "When you're outside, you have to be scheming. You can't be anxious about anything. You have to face it calmly and steadily. Isn't this a test for you?"
