Chapter 40
"Look, is that riding a horse the new militia coach Master Liang?"

"That's right!"

"Yes, it's Master Liang, I've seen him before."

"I didn't expect Master Liang to be not only good at martial arts, but also so handsome."

"You said he really defeated Zhang Kecheng, the stele opener, with one move two days ago?"

"Can this be false? Not just me, all the martial arts practitioners in Foshan have seen it!"

"I just can't imagine that Master Liang has such high kung fu at such a young age."

"Isn't it the same with Master Huang back then? He made a big name in Foshan when he was just a teenager."

……

Hearing people talking on the street, Aunt Thirteen, who accompanied Baizhu to the beach for morning exercises, arched her eyebrows and joked: "Hey, may I ask... are you the Master Liang who defeated Zhang Kecheng, the master of the monument, with one move?"

"Shaoyun, don't make fun of me with this."

Bai Shu hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Hee hee, but what I said is the truth."

How could Thirteenth Aunt listen to Bai Shu's words, and continued to tease: "I also heard that someone wants to be a matchmaker for the handsome and unrestrained Master Liang."

"That's impossible!"

Bai Shu immediately shook her head in denial, and then, taking advantage of others not paying attention, she whispered into Aunt Thirteen's ear, "Unless it's for you."

"Pah, a dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth."

Aunt Thirteen blushed slightly, and urged the horse to take two steps forward.

Seeing Aunt Thirteen's shy look, Bai Shu also laughed.

But with a smile, there was a look of worry on his face - he suddenly thought that he would leave this world in two years.

"What should I do?"

Bai Shu was a little undecided.

From a rational point of view, he should sort out the relationship with Thirteenth Aunt as soon as possible, and even let Thirteenth Aunt sever her love for him.

But let alone saying that he couldn't accept it emotionally, even if he really did it, he was not sure whether it would hurt Aunt Thirteen less than leaving him two years later.

"It's just that I was so hotheaded at the time, that I made a relationship with Aunt Thirteen in such a muddle-headed way."

Bai Shu thought with some annoyance.

Of course he didn't regret falling in love with Thirteenth Aunt, he just secretly blamed himself for not staying rational and sober at the time.

Of course, these are just the analysis of Bai Shu after the fact.

After all, love is a word, how many people can stay awake when love comes?
"Let's take one step at a time."

……

When Bai Shu and his wife came to the beach, hundreds of well-dressed men had already arrived on the beach.

After seeing Bai Shu, they shouted in unison: "Meet the head coach!"

"Well, hello, brothers."

Bai Shu's face was solemn: "Then, let's start training!"

"Yes!"

Everyone clasped their fists together again, and under the guidance of Bai Shu, they started their daily training.

Seeing Bai Shu started training, Aunt Thirteen sensiblely did not get involved, but just watched quietly from the sidelines.

The sun was just rising, and the sun shone on everyone, as if covered with a layer of golden light.

In the eyes of Thirteenth Aunt, Bai Shu, bathed in the rising sun, is more like a god of war, and every movement has a sense of sacredness that people dare not despise.

Half an hour later, Bai Shu asked everyone to train on their own, and he came to Thirteenth Aunt.

"By the way, Liang Kuan, why did you succeed Feihong as the head coach of the militia?"

Handing Bai Zhu a towel to wipe off his sweat, Thirteenth Aunt asked curiously, "I don't think you like this kind of work with your personality?"

"Um……"

Bai Shu paused, glanced at Thirteenth Aunt, and said, "Maybe I want to find something to do for myself, or else I always feel like a loafer in Baozhilin."

"is it?"

Aunt Thirteen nodded.

Although there are no loopholes in Bai Shu's statement, Aunt Thirteen's intuition told her that there should be other purposes for Bai Shu to be the coach of the militia.

But since Bai Shu didn't want to talk about it, Aunt Thirteen naturally wouldn't ask more.

Seeing that Aunt Thirteen believed his answer, Baizhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she guessed, Bai Shu didn't become the coach of the militia because he wanted to find something to do—he was the coach of the militia for Aunt Shisan!

Or to be precise, he was thinking about Aunt Thirteen after he left.

Relying on his relationship with Huang Feihong, Bai Shu was not worried about the safety of Thirteenth Aunt after he left. Therefore, he was more concerned about leaving some material property for Thirteenth Aunt.

Of course, a box of gold bars obtained from Jishan is enough to ensure that Thirteenth Auntie will live comfortably for the rest of her life, but Bai Shu found that, unlike those rich businessmen in movies and TV dramas who beat people with gold at every turn, in this world, even those rich Rich households mostly use copper coins or silver dollars when going out, and rarely carry gold.

If he wants to spend the box of gold that Bai Shu got, he must first find a reasonable way to cash it out.

After much deliberation, Bai Shu finally set his sights on the militia.

We must know that the militia in the late Qing Dynasty was not just a kind of private armed forces to protect the village. Strictly speaking, their status was equivalent to that of reservists.

Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army and Li Hongzhang's Huai Army both started from militias.

Only by becoming the head coach of the militia can Bai Shu take advantage of this status to turn the gold into legal property in a reasonable and unobtrusive manner by purchasing equipment or other means.

……

A month passed in a flash.

On this day, just after Bai Shu came back from morning exercise on the beach, she met Aunt Shi San.

"Liang Kuan, do you have time these two days?"

Aunt Thirteen asked.

"No, I have time except for training in the vigilante."

Bai Shu asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. I plan to go back to my hometown to visit relatives, but when I told Feihong, he felt that the world was too chaotic and I might be in danger alone..."

Aunt Thirteen looked at Bai Shu and asked expectantly: "So, can you accompany me back to my hometown to visit my relatives?"

"Whatever I do, of course."

Bai Shu smiled and said, "When shall we set off?"

"Tomorrow, if I can."

Seeing Bai Shu agreeing to her, Thirteenth Aunt smiled like a flower.

The next day.

TRAIN STATION.

"Shaoyun, is your hometown in Guangdong Province?"

Seeing that the train ticket in his hand was bound for Guangdong Province, Bai Shu was taken aback.

"Well, that's right, it's Guangdong Province."

Thirteenth Aunt nodded: "What's the matter, your expression seems wrong."

"Oh, I'm fine."

Bai Shu smiled and shook his head.

He said it was fine, but he thought in his heart, didn't the plot of Huang Feihong's second movie take place in Guangdong Province?
"Could it be that I will meet the White Lotus Sect this time?"

Bai Shu thought to herself.

He guessed wrong.

Until three days later, Aunt Thirteen finished her visit without any accidents along the way.

"Liang Kuan, we have to take an earlier train back tomorrow, so don't rest too late."

After giving instructions to Bai Shu, Aunt Thirteen returned to her room.

Just when Bai Zhu was about to go back to his room to rest, he heard a commotion in the street.

When he came to the window, Bai Shu saw a group of Bailian disciples walking by on the street.

In the past three days, he has seen many such scenes, but because of Bai Shu's special instructions, Thirteenth Aunt did not appear in a foreign dress as in the movie, so she did not conflict with the White Lotus Sect.

"Oh, this White Lotus Sect is really rampant, just collecting protection fees so blatantly."

Bai Shu sneered slightly when he saw that the group of White Lotus Cultists were actually collecting protection money under the slogan of praying for peace talismans.

But even though he can't understand the behavior of these congregants, Bai Shu has no intention of making a move. In the next ten months, he doesn't want to cause any trouble, and just wants to spend it peacefully.

But just when he was about to close the window, so that he could see nothing, he suddenly felt the internal energy in his dantian boil and surge.

"what happened?!"

Bai Shu turned pale with shock.
