The parents went off to do their business, and the three children entered the house. Wang Yun asked Danniu and Nizi where they had gone with their mother, and then they found out that their mother had taken them to the Mawang Town Market and bought frozen sorbets, candied ducks, and more.

I used the animal skins I brought to exchange for wine for my father. Daniel said that the town was very lively, and there was a reward notice at the entrance to the city wall. It was said that an officer in the Yun Army was killed, and the murderer was being hunted down. I just heard the people talking quietly.

, said that the dead officer had many evil deeds, but he died in a strange way. Originally, he was fine when he led a patrol at night, but then Yun Jun, another patrol team, found a few drops of blood and followed the blood to his tent.

, it was discovered that his head was missing not long after his death. Apart from a few drops of blood, he could not even find any footprints outside the tent. He was said to have been beheaded by the Xian family in anger because of his many evil deeds. However, how could Yun Jun be willing to report it like this?

?I had no choice but to issue a reward order, and there was no portrait. It was just a show. After listening to the master's words, Wang Yun realized that his mother had gone out to find out the news, and saw that his father had killed Feng who didn't say a word.

After placing Liu in the middle, did he leave any flaws? He secretly thought that his mother was thoughtful. Danius asked about Mr. Lin again, and Wangyun thought of his father shaking his head gently, obviously not wanting Daniel and Nizi to get involved.

He got into it, so he just pretended to be stupid and said that he didn't ask. Daniel also said that he met Fatty on the way back. Fatty said that Mr. Lin died of a sudden illness and vomited a lot of blood. Wangyun lowered his head and said that's it.

Yes.

My mother prepared lunch, which was a sumptuous meal. The whole family sat around and had a hearty meal. Even the bitter gourd was given a lot of meat and bones. After the meal, my mother took Daniel and Nizi out again and said they were coming.

The neighbor sent some animal meat and looked at Wang Yun deeply before leaving. Liu Wu called Wang Yun to his side and told him to go sleep for a while. There were important things tonight. Wang Yun knew that

My father wanted to teach me martial arts, so I didn’t say anything and went back to the house to sleep.

When I woke up this time, it was completely dark, and the charcoal fire in the brazier was still bright red. It seemed that it had just been refueled. Liu Wu walked in and saw Wang Yun awake, so he asked him to get dressed and put on the black fox cloak.

On him, the father and son then entered the West Room together.

The mechanism in the corner was lightly stepped on by Liu Wu, and the hole in the ground was revealed. Wang Yun felt that his brain had not been used enough in the past two days. The house he had lived in since childhood did not know that there was a secret passage here!

After entering the cave, Wang Yun didn't see what mechanism his father used to close the cave. He just followed his father down the stairs. The passage was not too spacious, but he didn't feel depressed at all. It was pitch dark all the way, and Wang Yun held his father's hand.

At the corner of his clothes, he felt that after walking along the corridor for a long time, a very thick stone door suddenly appeared in front of him. Liu Wu pushed the stone door, making a loud bang, and it turned out that he could only open it completely with strength.

Liu Wu led Wang Yun into the stone chamber, and saw a large bluestone in the middle of the stone chamber. On the stone were several rabbits and a snow deer, all of which were dead. The two of them moved forward and went out through a small stone door with a mechanism.

Outside is a stone cave, which may be square or round. The stone walls are densely covered with dead vines, and there is a stream of water flowing out from the cracks in the stone walls. There is a bottomless green pool on the ground.

Liu Wu first took out the animal skin box from his arms, placed it in the corner, turned around and said to Wang Yun:

"From now on, you can't go out."

Wang Yun was shocked when his father continued to say:

"This stone cave is a natural formation, and the flowing water is the mountain spring flowing out of the mountain behind our house. The stone chamber in front was built by me later. Your mother is proficient in the art of observing mountains and water. We moved here when you were born. At that time

I have already thought about it and spent some time digging through this place. If you embark on the path of martial arts, this cave, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, can be your place to practice."

Wang Yun said:

"Dad, are you saying that if I practice here, I won't be able to see my mother, nor will I be able to see Daniel and Nizi again?"

Liu Wudao:

"That's right. Cultivate martial arts first. Cultivate your mind first. Meeting the people you miss every day will definitely hinder your entry. I don't want you to forget them, but I want you to hone yourself until you can control your own emotions. Now

It’s okay if you don’t understand, you will understand later.”

Xiao Wangyun listened blankly and slowly lowered his head. He could no longer hold back his tears. He sobbed softly and burst into tears. He didn't cry when he saw his father murder someone; he didn't cry when he said goodbye to Mr. Lin on a snowy night...

...but thinking about how long it would take to see his mother, brother and sister, he really couldn't control the feeling of separation in his heart. He had just turned seven, and his close relatives who had been inseparable for seven years suddenly couldn't see each other anymore. How could he bear it?

Liu Wu didn't say anything, and waited quietly, letting Wang Yun cry enough. After a long time, seeing that Wang Yun finally stopped crying, he walked forward, patted his shoulder gently, and said:

"When you embark on the path of martial arts, what you will face in the future will be thousands of times crueler than you are now. A man who is upright and indomitable. The real strength is the strength in your heart. You cannot shed tears easily. Do you understand?"

Wang Yun nodded in understanding. He grew up under the protection of his parents and lived a carefree life. How could he understand cruelty and hardship?

Liu Wu didn't force it. Seeing that Wang Yun's mood had eased, he said:

"Come with me."

Then he walked to the stone room in front. Wang Yun followed his father to the stone room just now. Liu Wu said:

"This rabbit and snow deer is your meal, but you need to do it yourself. Although Li Xing is in your hands, you are not allowed to use it whether skinning it, cutting its flesh, or deboning it."

Pointing to a pile of gravel fragments next to the bluestone, he said:

"Use these stone pieces to cut. In addition, I will leave you with this pair of soul-enchanting stones. If the two stones collide with each other, you can make a fire. A fire with dead vines and fallen leaves in the cave will be enough for heating and barbecue. I will be here in ten days, and I will also

any questions?"

Wang Yun quickly asked:

"Dad, how do you get started in martial arts?"

Liu Wudao:

"Cutting meat and deboning stones is the practice of martial arts, so be sure not to use Li Xing. You just need to adapt here. When I come over in ten days, the snow deer will have to be divided into pieces. There are many air holes in the cave, and the ventilation is not hindered.

But it’s always underground. It’s hard to know the exact time, so you don’t have to pay too much attention. Dad said it will come in ten days, and it will definitely arrive in ten days.”

Although Wang Yun was not used to it, he could only nod his head so far. Liu Wu told Wang Yun the location of the little stone door, then turned and left. Before leaving, he closed the heavy stone door tightly, leaving only Xiao Wang Yun.

Alone in this underground cave.

Wang Yun sat on the ground, staring at the empty stone room in a daze. He remembered that the whole family had dinner together at noon, but he didn't expect that he was the only one left now. His nose became sore and tears fell again. He just cried twice and then he remembered his father's words. He was stubborn.

I wiped my eyes fiercely, and my stomach growled again. Anyway, I had to eat and sleep. Since my father said that cutting meat with stone flakes is martial arts, then I should learn it as soon as possible. If I learn it, I can see my mother and my big brother.

Niu and Nizi are married.

Thinking of this, I felt full of strength. I walked to the bluestone, picked up a piece of stone and started cutting the rabbit. The northern region is cold and snowy, and the beasts that survive in this environment have thick and dense fur.

Keeping out the cold, no matter how small or big the beast is, is no exception. Wang Yun thought it was very simple, but after cutting for a long time with a stone that was neither sharp nor easy on the hand, he didn't even cut through the fur of the rabbit, and he pinched the stone.

There were two big blisters on my little hands. I was so tired that I threw away the stone tablets and sat down on the ground to feel sad. I wanted to make a fire in the cave and bake it directly, but my father said that he should learn martial arts.

It’s already difficult, so what kind of martial arts practice is roasting a rabbit? I calmed down, stood up, picked up the stone pieces, and continued to cut the rabbit.

I don't know how long it took, but after three stone pieces were broken and the bubbles on my hands were worn out, I finally peeled off a rabbit. Regardless of my fatigue, I hurriedly went to the pool to wash it off, but I felt the spring water was freezing cold.

Tear off a bunch of broken withered vines, take out the stone to light a fire. In fact, these things are quite simple. I often help my mother do it at home. Use thick withered vines to skewer the cleaned rabbits, put them on the fire to roast, and then

After a while, the aroma filled the air. Xiao Wangyun drooled and moved his index finger. Although there was no seasoning or salt, he was so hungry that he couldn't care about it. He took it and blew it and tore it, bit it while tearing it. It was hot to the hands and mouth.

, didn't care at all, and even chewed the bones all over before giving up.

After offering sacrifices to the temple of the five internal organs, I walked to the water and took a few sips with my hands. I couldn't help but shudder. Although the spring water was sweet, it was actually bone-chilling. These few sips of water went into my stomach, and my whole body was chilled.

He hurriedly returned to the fire and roasted for a long time, and then gradually warmed up. After eating and warming up, the pain in his hands, physical and mental fatigue came over him, Xiao Wangyun's eyelids twitched, he lay down on the ground, turned around and covered himself

Black fox fur cloak, fall asleep instantly.

Liu Wu returned from the secret passage and returned to the house. He saw his wife covering Nizi gently, so he motioned to his wife to talk outside the house. Sanniang followed him out, and asked hurriedly before Liu Wu could speak:

"How is the child?"

Liu Wudao:

"As soon as I said I couldn't meet you, he burst into tears. I've never seen him so sad, but I can't help it. This is his fate. I want to be worthy of the people I entrusted to me."

Sanniang lowered her head, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said:

"Daniu and Nizi were noisy and looking for him everywhere. I finally coaxed them to sleep. I don't know what will happen when they wake up."

Liu Wudao:

"I will go and make it clear to them tomorrow. You don't want to be here anymore. I will take the brother and sister to Huadu Lidao River. I have arranged a person to support you there. It is enough for me to be here alone.

"

Sanniang's eyes were full of reluctance and she whispered:

"This child has been very smart since he was a child. I don't know how capable he is of martial arts practice and comprehension. If he is fast, he may be able to protect himself in three to five years. If he is slow, when can I see you?"

Liu Wu put his arms around his wife's shoulders, leaned into his arms, and said softly:

"It's all owed to me, but it makes you and I worry and suffer. No matter what, I will teach him all my martial arts skills. Only in this way can I be worthy of my own conscience, and only in this way can I be worthy of my ancestors. In addition, I will teach him all my martial arts knowledge."

These days, people from the Ant Nest have infiltrated into every village and town in the North. The only person who was secretly watching me has been buried in the snowy mountains. In fact, I didn’t expect that we could hide it for so long. It’s time for a change.

You also remember what I told you, Daniu and Nizi, it’s time for them to know what they should know, and it’s time for you to patiently teach them what they need to learn.”
