Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 550: Seclusion
Lin Qianxing wanted to leave, so the Blood Guards naturally couldn't catch him.
But before leaving, Lin Qianxing met Liu Shu for the last time.
"I'm leaving Heshan City because I'm in some trouble." Lin Qianxing said.
Liu Shu was stunned, then asked, "Where are you going?"
"I don't know , but you should be careful. I'm worried that they will find your Liu family because of the escort agency incident." Lin Qianxing said.
"I understand." Liu Shu said.
After a brief exchange between the two, Lin Qianxing said, "Take care."
"Take care!" Liu Shu also said.
Immediately, Lin Qianxing left.
Liu Shu looked at the direction where Lin Qianxing left, unable to let it go for a long time.
She always felt a little reluctant.
But she still has a good attitude after all. As a woman of the world, she shouldn't be trapped by love.
Lin Qianxing is indeed excellent, but since they are not destined to be together, they should naturally let go of some things.
——
Time flies, and it’s been more than a month.
In the south of Dawen State, there is a small village called Xianliang Village.
Lin Qianxing finished building the fence, wiped his sweat, looked back at the small hut he had just built, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
This Xianliang Village is a paradise on earth. There are forty households in the village, far away from the battlefield. The village once produced a scholar who now works as a clerk in the county town. Therefore, they are protected and the exorbitant taxes outside do not fall on them.
Lin Qianxing decided to live here for a while and practice his "Basic Inner Breathing Technique" to perfection. By then, his strength will be able to be shown off to some extent.
Not to mention that he can conquer the world, but even an ordinary crisis can't kill him.
In the evening, an honest looking old man came to Lin Qianxing's door.
The old man held the fish in his hand and said outside Lin Qianxing's fence: "Young man from the Lin family, I got you some fish. My boy just caught it from the river. It's very fresh. You can use it to make a pot of fish soup."
He is the village chief, Liu Chengliang. It is obviously impossible for Lin Qianxing to settle down in Xianliang Village without his consent.
Lin Qianxing also put in some effort to make the village chief believe that he was a good person.
But if you want to stay here in the end, you still have to use some of your money.
The place where he lives now was bought from the village chief.
Lin Qianxing went out and took the fish from Liu Chengliang's hands with both hands, and said: "Oh, Brother Liu also has this skill? I must ask him for advice someday. I fished in Zhanghua River for a long time before but didn't see any fish..."
“It’s better to ask me than to ask him. Didn’t he learn those skills from me?” Liu Chengliang said, stroking his long beard.
"Look at my head. The real person is right in front of me, but I'm still going far away! Please come in, old man. When I went to the city to buy groceries, I bought a pot of ten-year-old Xianxiangzui. Let's drink some together." Lin Qianxing said.
Liu Chengliang pursed his lips and walked towards the house with Lin Qianxing, saying, "I'm not bragging. If I had wanted to, I would have fished all the fish in Zhanghua River to extinction..."
Lin Qianxing naturally did not take Liu Chengliang's bragging seriously. He also knew that Liu Chengliang did not come here to teach him how to fish.
After Lin Qianxing and Liu Chengliang had three rounds of drinks, he finally got down to business.
"Young man from the Lin family, I think you are a loyal and honest person. Now that you have fallen into our village, just live your life in peace. Although the girls in the village are not as good as those from wealthy families, they are also pretty and frugal. They are good companions to live with..." Liu Chengliang muttered.
"You are right, old man." Lin Qianxing agreed.
"By the way, although you have some family wealth, it's not a good idea to keep squandering it. You should have a decent job, right? Otherwise, it will be hard for me to introduce you to a girl when the time comes, right?" Liu Chengliang said, "Do you have any plans in this regard?"
"I have some martial arts skills. I have traveled all over the country over the years and learned some techniques. I can do a lot." Lin Qianxing said.
"Oh?" Liu Chengliang's eyes lit up and he said, "Have you ever been to school?"
" I can read and have read some miscellaneous books, but I have never dabbled in the imperial examinations." Lin Qianxing said.
"It's good enough that you can recognize words." Liu Chengliang said, "Young man from the Lin family, there are still some ignorant children in the village. It's not a good thing that they are naughty and climbing up and down all day long. If you don't mind, why don't you teach them to read and write? The village can't give you a decent tuition, but your food rations in the village will not be a problem in the future. What do you think?"
After saying that, Liu Chengliang looked at Lin Qianxing expectantly.
Knowledge is a rare thing in itself in this era when information transmission is not particularly convenient or fast.
From a certain perspective, being able to recognize words itself is considered a talent.
Lin Qianxing nodded and said, "Just call them all over. It won't be a problem to teach them how to read or something."
"Then it's settled. I'll call them all here tomorrow. You have the final say on how to teach them. If there are disobedient children, you can beat and scold them as much as you want. As long as they don't hurt them, I guarantee it won't be your fault." Liu Chengliang said.
Lin Qianxing nodded slightly to show that he understood.
After Liu Chengliang left Lin Qianxing, he looked back at Lin Qianxing's house, and his expression became a little complicated.
The reason why he was willing to accept Lin Qianxing was definitely not just because of the money.
The main reason was that Lin Qianxing’s condition at the time made him a little wary.
At that time, Lin Qianxing was wearing a large bamboo hat and carrying a long box on his back. Although his expression was kind, he exuded an aura that said he was not someone to be trifled with.
Although Lin Qianxing explained the matter clearly later, he was still wary of Lin Qianxing and did not want Lin Qianxing to stay in the village.
This looked like a big trouble, how could he dare to accept it.
However, as time passed, he probably understood that Lin Qianxing must have encountered some things that caused him to fall into this predicament.
In the end, he chose to accept Lin Qianxing.
After staring for a while, Liu Chengliang let out a long breath, then put his hands behind his back and walked towards his house.
Time came to the next day.
At about noon, Lin Qianxing pushed open the door and found that there were already some children waiting outside. In their hands, they were holding some dried meat, fruits, rice, flour and the like.
He underestimated the people's thirst for knowledge in this era.
Lin Qianxing came to the outside of the fence and asked, "What are you doing here?"
After hearing Lin Qianxing's question, one of the older children, who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, said, "You are Mr. Lin, right? The village chief asked us to come here. He asked us to learn to read from you."
"What's your name?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Liu Duozhi." the child replied.
"Who is your father?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Liu Yong." Liu Duozhi said.
Liu Yong is the son of Liu Chengliang.
Lin Qianxing nodded slightly. No wonder the kids around him all looked up to him.
"Then you will be the squad leader from now on." Lin Qianxing said.
Immediately, he arranged for the children to put down their things and led them to an open space outside his house.
"You must have a good body to study literature. I will teach you how to exercise first, and then we can study literature formally later." Lin Qianxing said.
Soon he started breathing and exhaling with these children to exercise their bodies.
He had previously discovered that these children were generally unhealthy, obviously due to unbalanced nutrition.
But in this day and age, it’s good enough to be alive. It’s really difficult to eat too much.
Lin Qianxing could only teach them the method of internal breathing and try his best to make up for his own shortcomings first.
The breathing techniques of these children were not particularly standard, but Lin Qianxing did not expect to teach them all in one go, so he did not care.
The exercise is over and the sun rises completely.
Lin Qianxing led them to chop down some trees and used them as pens for writing.
Then Lin Qianxing began to teach them the basics of writing.
Lin Qianxing wrote a word on the ground, and then asked them to imitate and practice by repeatedly scratching it on their own ground.
Lin Qianxing would also look at how they wrote and correct any mistakes.
Due to limited conditions, I can only write like this for now.
Later on, he could try to find a way to teach them the relevant skills and make some writing tools.
They had just learned to write, so they couldn't write very well. However, Lin Qianxing found that one of the children was somewhat talented. His hands were very steady, and his handwriting was pretty similar to that of ordinary people.
After getting closer, Lin Qianxing found that there was something wrong with his breathing rhythm.
Soon he realized that the child had almost learned the inner breathing method he taught them in the morning.
He looked at him carefully and found that he looked about ten years old, with a thin body, but his eyes were very bright.
"What's your name?" Lin Qianxing asked the skinny child.
"Sir, my name is Chen Xiangqian." Chen Xiangqian said.
"Xiang Qian? What a nice name." Lin Qianxing smiled and nodded, "You've learned well. You can keep using the breathing method I taught you this morning. It's good for your health."
"Yeah, I know. After I breathe like that, I'm not hungry anymore." Chen Xiangqian said with a smile.
Lin Qianxing didn't say anything. He couldn't change much about this kind of thing in a short period of time. He could only pat him on the shoulder and then got up and left.
There were not many children in the village who needed to learn, only fourteen, so it was not difficult for Lin Qianxing to teach them.
These children learned very seriously. It took Lin Qianxing less than a month for them to learn some short sentences and express some things in their daily lives.
Time passes slowly and keeps moving forward.
Nothing in the outside world could disturb Lin Qianxing anymore, so he just taught the children in the village, practiced at the same time, and went fishing occasionally, which was quite refreshing.
And just in the third month after he arrived in Xianliang Village, when he went to the city to buy things, he learned several pieces of information.
The imperial court suffered a defeat at the border, some cities were occupied by the enemy army, several officials who promoted reforms in the country were beheaded, and Jiang Fangyuan, who was guarding Hanguan, announced an uprising.
After hearing the news, Lin Qianxing couldn't help but look in the direction of Han Guan and sighed, "I hope nothing happens to my godmother and the others."
