Pig Killer

Chapter 155

"What do you want to see Uncle Liu for?" Da Chong looked at her curiously and asked.

"Make a rack, like a loofah rack, it has to be sturdy, practice quick eyes and hands." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "You will know when it is done."

"Eat quickly!" The big tiger opened its mouth wide and took a bite of the bun with a roar.

"Be careful, don't get burned." Shen Hui'e looked at him worriedly.

"It's not hot anymore." The tiger puffed up his cheeks and said in a muffled voice.

"The noodles are not hot anymore, but the filling inside is still hot." Shen Hui'e reminded him.

"Got it." Da Chong looked at her and said with a smile.

These half-grown kids are really eating me down. The buns are delicious. Each person eats at least two. Da Chong and Cheng Donglai ate five directly.

"Are you all right? Don't feel uncomfortable." Shen Hui'e looked at them worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay." The big tiger said, touching his bulging belly.

"There are hawthorns, go and have two." Shen Hui'e said hurriedly, "There are still some buns! If you can't finish them, you can eat them later."

"It's so delicious that I ate too much in a short time." Da Chong said embarrassedly and brought over a bowl of washed hawthorns.

"Come on, take a few and we'll eat while walking." Shen Hui'e stood up and said to them.

&*&

On the way to Liu Ding's house, Da Chong swallowed the hawthorn with a grin, "So sour!" Then he said, "Mother, there seem to be fewer people on this road."

"Normal!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes and said, "It's better to have less trouble than more. If you can stay at home, then don't come out."

Shen Hui'e and others hurried to Liu's house.

"Uncle Liu, we are here." Da Chong walked into the open courtyard gate with a smile on his face.

"Why are you here?" Liu Ding said with a smile on his face, pointing his chin at the bench under the shade of the tree, "Sit down." Patting the sawdust off his body, Shavings came over and looked at them who were already sitting down and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Make a rack, like a loofah rack, and make it sturdy." Shen Hui'e said simply and clearly.

"Do it at this time? Who would grow vegetables in the middle of winter?" Liu Ding looked at them in surprise.

"It's not for growing vegetables. Let the children practice some boxing and kicking skills." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her shiny black eyes and said.

Liu Ding's eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard this. He looked at her in disbelief and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's better for boys to learn some country skills so that they won't be bullied." Shen Hui'e looked at him seriously and said.

"Okay! We can't lose the fight and ruin your father's reputation." Liu Ding said immediately after hearing this.

Shen Hui'e's mouth twitched when she heard this. All right! This is also a legitimate reason.

"Okay, no problem." Liu Ding responded readily.

"Business has not been affected, right?" Shen Hui'e asked with concern.

"No, no. How could I be influenced by this? I'm just a carpenter. I'm not the one who plays the piano, dances, or sets up banquets." Liu Ding shook his head and chuckled when he heard this.

"Be more careful in the next three months and don't cause unnecessary trouble." Shen Hui'e reminded casually.

"I go out for wood now. I can't even go out at other times." Liu Ding said with a smile, "I won't cause trouble." He smiled and said, "I guess those who like cockfighting will be depressed."

"Why?" asked the tiger in confusion.

"No cockfighting allowed!" Liu Ding said, looking at him with his dark eyes.

"This will take three months! He will suffocate to death." The big tiger laughed when he heard this.

"Will there be a secret fight?" The raccoon slave asked, looking at him with her big, bright eyes.

"No! If you dare to come here secretly and get caught, you might be beheaded!" Liu Ding said fearfully with a shudder.

"Is it so serious?" Da Chong looked at him in disbelief.

"It's already very light. The previous king is gone, so everyone has to wear mourning clothes." Liu Ding said seriously, "This just means not eating, drinking and having fun. It's only been three months, it will pass quickly."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Shen Hui'e said, standing up and saying, "We're leaving. We won't bother you anymore."

"I'll ask someone to help you with the shelf. I'll just prepare the wood and come to your house. Is that okay?" Liu Ding stood up and said.

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e responded straightforwardly, "I won't kill pigs now. There are people at home every day, so let them come."

"Aren't you going to kill the pigs?" Liu Ding looked at her in surprise.

"It's better to be cautious." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep black eyes.

"Okay!" Liu Ding had no choice but to say, "No wonder the second sister-in-law wants to be so arrogant. It's good to keep the children around. She has to find something to do so as not to cause trouble."

"We're leaving, you go on with your work!" Shen Hui'e called the child and said.

Da Chong and Li Nu bowed and followed their mother out of the Liu family's house.

&*&

Three days later, Liu Ding came with his men carrying rafters.

Liu Ding called Zheng Yi over and said, "Second sister-in-law, this is Zheng Yi. Tell him how to set up the shelf."

"Okay! No problem." Shen Hui'e said, looking at the handsome and naive young man.

"Second sister-in-law, just tell me how you want it." Zheng Yi said honestly.

"Second sister-in-law, you guys are busy. I have something to do at home." Liu Ding pointed outside.

Shen Hui'e looked around, her eyes fell on him, and ordered, "Big Chong, send your Uncle Liu off."

"Hey!" The tiger walked up to Liu Ding in two or three steps and said, "Uncle Liu, I'll take you there."

"Actually, that's not necessary." Liu Ding looked at him with amusement.

"Yes, yes." Da Chong sent Liu Ding out of the house. When he came back, he saw his mother directing Zheng Yi and others to dig holes and plant rafters.

Speaking of the shelf, it is just a square shelf, nothing fancy.

The scaffolding was soon set up. Shen Hui'e paid the money and asked Dachong to send Zheng Yi and the others away.

"Mother, it's just a shelf, how do I use it?" Li Nu stood inside the shelf and looked at her and asked.

"Go and get all the palm-sized sandbags we have tied and hang them on the rack." Shen Hui'e said to them with her crystal clear eyes.

I originally thought of tying a clay pot or something, but firstly it would hurt too much when it hits my body, and secondly it is fragile and I would feel bad about it.

A sandbag filled with sackcloth is actually a sandbag.

This is suitable for initial training.

After the sandbags were tied, the clever children also realized why they could use them to practice quick eyes and hands.

If you are not careful, you will be hit.

Get up early in the morning, go jogging, do horse stance, practice calligraphy, learn arithmetic, and practice boxing and kicking.

Yuanji, Zhaoye and others came in the evening to learn how to read and keep accounts.

The days are very fulfilling and busy.

Huang Yuanji was very interested when he saw Da Chong and his men practicing boxing and kicking.

"Second Aunt, can we practice too?" Huang Yuanji said anxiously while twisting his fingers and looking at her.

"Of course, go back and practice it yourself in a fight." Shen Hui'e said to them with warm eyes.

"Don't I have to learn each move?" Huang Zhaoye looked at her puzzledly and asked.

"As long as you win, it's a good move. No move is better than a move." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "The Art of War says: There is no constant state of war, no constant shape of water, and no constant state of people. Why bother with moves!" She smiled and said, "What would you do with a big knife in your hand?"

"Chop, chop..." Huang Yuanji gestured with his hands.

Shen Hui'e took a step back and gestured, "There are eight basic sword techniques: sweep, chop, pull, cut, swipe, hold, chop, and thrust! The rest are all variations on this basis. One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things."

"Is it that simple?" Huang Yuanji looked at her in surprise.

"Once you have a solid foundation, the rest will come with practice. You can master it and change your moves based on your own situation or when you fight with others..." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at them and said, "It's not easy to become a master. You need to rely on your brain and your understanding!"

"How can I do this with my brain?" Huang Yuanji shook his head and said, "I don't have any brain at all!"

"Observe with your eyes." Shen Hui'e pointed to her bright eyes and said, "Why do these chickens fight?"

"Cockfighting?" Huang Yuanji blinked and blurted out, "Use your mouth!"

Upon hearing this, the cat slave burst into laughter. Huang Yuanji felt embarrassed and blushed, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"Yuanji is right!" Shen Hui'e said to ease the embarrassment, "When it comes to a life-and-death situation, our teeth can also be our weapon."

After receiving a look from his mother, Li Nu apologized awkwardly, "Brother Yuanji, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you."

"You can observe how chickens fight." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "Don't just laugh and join in the fun." She pointed her index finger at them and said seriously, "Don't play with money!"

"No, no, we have no money." Huang Yuanji shook his head like a rattle and looked at her.

"Observe how chickens fight and imitate them. Be quick and varied, flexible and agile, using fingers, claws, palms and fists." Shen Hui'e imitated chicken claws with her fingers.

The boxing techniques include Tiger-Crane Double Form, Praying Mantis Boxing, Tiger Boxing, Eagle Claw Boxing… They have never seen these animals, so how can they imitate them?

They can only observe common animals in life.

"Haha...it's really similar!" Huang Yuanji said in surprise.

"You can also observe how animals hunt in nature." Shen Hui'e blinked her clear eyes and looked at them and said, "When birds catch fish, they must be fast, fierce and accurate! In the world of martial arts, the only way to defeat it is to be fast."

"Hurry?" The big tiger looked at her with his black eyes and said.

"Just like when a cat swings its claws fast, you can only see the afterimage." Shen Hui'e imitated the cat boxing, "After teaching you the basic moves, besides studying hard and practicing diligently, the only thing you need to do is to develop your own understanding."

"Then let's practice!" Huang Yuanji said with a smile.

"There can't be any falsehood in this practice, but no one is watching you. This requires your own perseverance. If you relax a little or make excuses for yourself, then forget about becoming a master." Shen Hui'e said to them with eyes as gentle as jade.
