Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

That person was Liu Zhen's registered disciple Chi Hu.

This was also the first time Cao Liang saw him here with his master.

Chi Hu happily wanted to step forward and say hello, but because Liu Zhen was there, he just nodded.

But the look he gave Cao Liang was full of gratitude.

Originally he was just a registered disciple of Liu Zhen. He was fortunate to learn a few skills from Liu Zhen. Later, he relied on these skills to earn a fortune in the black market.

He had great respect for Liu Zhen.

But after all, he was in the black market, and he was afraid that if the news got out, it would embarrass Liu Zhen, so he usually asked people to send gifts to Liu Zhen, but he didn't dare to go to his house himself.

But today, the men he sent to deliver gifts told him that Liu Zhen had given a message, saying that if they wanted to deliver gifts, they should come in person.

Upon hearing this, Chi Hu became extremely excited and came over without stopping.

But who would have thought that as soon as he arrived, Liu Zhen asked him to drive piles without saying a word, and because of his poor performance, he was belittled by the master in various ways.

But Chi Hu didn't complain at all, instead he was very happy.

He knew that his master was grateful to Cao Liang probably because of his junior fellow apprentice.

"Liangzi, go and give it a try. Let me see if you have regressed."

Liu Zhen gestured.

Previously, because Cao Liang's family was in financial difficulty, Liu Zhen was unhappy that Cao Liang had stopped practicing martial arts, but there was nothing he could do.

But looking at Cao Liang's current situation, it seems that the situation at home has improved a lot.

Then, it's time to pick up the practice.

Cao Liang was also a little helpless. He originally came to the master to have a drink and chat, but he didn't expect this result.

His physique will become stronger and stronger, and the moves will not be so useful to him anymore.

After all, force can defeat skill!

But since his master had given the order, he just followed it.

He handed the fish and wine to the master, then walked towards the wooden stake.

Cao Liang twisted his neck and clenched his fists.

Then he took a deep breath, made a starting stance, and his momentum suddenly changed.

Then he suddenly attacked and hit the wooden stake with a punch.

Snap~Bang~

Almost instantly, the wooden stake that was originally wrapped with a thick rope suddenly cracked and then exploded, with wood chips flying all over the ground.

When Liu Zhen saw this, his pupils suddenly shrank, and Chi Hu also widened his eyes.

Is this something a human can do?

How much strength does this take?

Even Cao Liang himself was stunned.

He knew that his strength was increasing, but he had no idea how much strength he had gained.

He had only used 70% of his strength just now, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

He turned around to look at his master, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said with a chuckle: "Hey, Master, how about I fix it for you?"

Chi Hu was immediately furious when he heard this. It was already broken into pieces, what was the point of repairing it?

"it is good!"

After Liu Zhen came back to his senses, his old face flushed with excitement. He clapped his hands repeatedly and said, "Good, good boy, you have surpassed me now. I am very pleased."

He couldn't smash a wooden stake with one punch, but his apprentice did it, and he was very proud of it.

Hey!

Cao Liang smiled innocently and said, "Master, you are too kind. I am naturally not as good as you. I just got stronger recently."

"You don't need to be modest. As the saying goes, strength can defeat skill. Being strong is also an advantage."

Although Liu Zhen spoke righteously, the upturned corners of his mouth showed that he enjoyed it very much.

Chi Hu's mouth twitched.

I couldn't help but wonder: Is this the reason why my junior brother was accepted as the master's last disciple?

He was referring to the ability to flatter.

"We are happy today. Let's have a drink together. Wait, Master will cook for us today."

"Then we are in for a treat today."

Liu Zhen happily took the fish into the kitchen.

As soon as Liu Zhen left, Chi Hu suddenly came up and whispered, "Junior brother, teach me."

Cao Liang was stunned, then waved his hand and said, "Brother, I am just gifted and naturally strong. You can't learn it."

Chi Hu rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "I'm talking about the skill of flattering."

Cao Liang's face changed, and he said sternly: "Brother, I warn you, don't slander me! I have always been the most honest person, and people call me the honest young master. If you continue to talk nonsense, I will be angry."

After saying that, Cao Liang clenched his fists, making a crackling sound.

"Do you think I believe it or not?"

Chi Hu was also so angry that he laughed.

"Don't say you don't have these."

Cao Liang changed the subject directly and said mysteriously: "Brother, I got some resources recently, do you want them?"

"Yes, of course."

Chi Hu would certainly not let go of any good stuff, and the black market was also short of resources! He even asked, "What resources?"

"fish."

Cao Liang said, "Did you see the fish I brought just now? That's what I caught."

"It looks good. How many are there?"

"How much can you eat?"

Chi Hu was shocked. His junior fellow apprentice was so arrogant that he actually asked him how much he could eat? Was he kidding?

After thinking for a while, Chi Hu said, "Do you have 500 kilograms? You know, food sales are still good now, and the weather is hot now, so meat is not easy to preserve."

Cao Liang nodded, "Okay, I'll have someone deliver it to you in two days."

"Are they the three guys from last night?"

Chi Hu smiled and said, "That boy named Dongzi is quite sensible. He even knew to give me a gift."

He was referring to a rabbit and a pheasant, and Wang Dong insisted on giving them to him for free and he had no choice but to accept them. He thought it was very interesting.

Cao Liang should be.

Chi Hu reminded: "Junior brother, the fish you send cannot be less than one pound, otherwise it will be difficult to sell."

"can."

Cao Liang asked: "What's the price?"

As I said, brothers should settle accounts clearly, so this must be made clear in advance.

"50 cents a pound! That's the price now."

Chi Hu said truthfully.

"Okay, let's do that. By the way, Senior Brother, please find a way to get me a few more piglets later."

"There's not much meat in that thing. Why do you need so much? You need to exchange it for food."

Chi Hu was puzzled.

As for raising?

That shouldn't be possible. People have nothing to eat now, so where would we get the food to feed the pigs?

Cao Liang shook his head without explaining.

Chi Hu did not ask any more questions, but just asked: "Do you still want the little chicken?"

"I don't want this one."

Cao Liang took a look at the chickens in the space. They have grown a lot. In a few days, they will probably be able to lay eggs, and there will be no shortage of chickens in the future.

"Okay, when we get it, I'll let your buddies notify you."

Afterwards, the two brothers accompanied their master to drink and chat, and the conversation ended after noon.

...

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Cao Liang felt his face itchy.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a cute baby face, it was his sister Yaya.

The little girl was scratching his face with her little hands.

Cao Liang asked depressedly: "Yaya, you guys are already on vacation, why are you getting up so early?"

Yes, it’s summer vacation now.

The little girl stretched out her hand and said in a baby voice, "Brother, I want some candy."

Just for this?

Cao Liang was speechless.

He could only take out a candy and hand it to the little girl, who shook her head, "Big brother, that's not enough, I want two, and second brother wants one too."

Cao Liang looked outside the door and saw the chubby Xiao Ming.

Cao Liang's face darkened and he cursed, "Xiao Ming, get in here!"

He said, how could Yaya, such a sensible little girl, disturb his sweet dream so early in the morning? It seemed that it was instigated by that stinky boy Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming was not afraid of his elder brother. He walked in with a smile and shouted, "Good morning, brother!"

"I'm your big head ghost."
