"Haha, alright!"
When the crippled old man heard Zhao Hao's words, his wrinkled face bloomed like a chrysanthemum. The scar at the corner of his eye was especially ferocious. It had the charm to scare children. It was obvious that the crippled old man was very excited.
"Very good. Come, practice with this old man!”
The crippled old man was obviously excited by Zhao Hao's provocation. He stood up wildly, as if his body had straightened a little. Then, he took a wooden spear from the weapon rack and threw it to Zhao Hao. Then, he picked up a wooden sword and looked at Zhao Hao's jade with a burning gaze.
In fact, training Zhao Hao was just a spur of the moment. He didn't plan to be serious at first. He just wanted to give this kid more ability to survive when he grew up. After all, in this chaotic world, strength was everything.
He was thirteen years old during the Battle of Changping, so he had survived. He had survived in shame.
The scene of hundreds of thousands of people being buried alive was still playing in his mind. That sense of powerlessness made the crippled old man lose his innocence and understand the world. In this chaotic world, strength was the foundation of everything. Otherwise, you were nothing. Therefore, he worked hard to cultivate and even self-mutilated himself. In the end, he became a Thousand Men General at the age of 30.
When he was thirty-five years old, his right leg was broken in a battle. From then on, he became a cripple and lived to this day.
Looking at Zhao Hao, this orphan, he had already treated Zhao Hao as his own grandson. He didn't want Zhao Hao to become a powerless person in the future, so he had trained him. At first, it was casual, but later on, it became serious and gradually became shocking.
Now, it was unbelievable!
The crippled old man could even see hope for the future, the birth of a great general of the State of Zhao. With such talent, if he had a great teacher to guide him, his future would definitely be limitless. However, Zhao Hao's personality was indeed a headache for him. He was extremely lazy.
"Old man, be careful!"
Zhao Hao gripped his halberd and tightened his grip on it. With a loud roar, he rushed over and swept the halberd with his hand. The force was so great that the halberd bent a little and was aimed at the crippled old man's head.
"Thump!"
The crippled old man waved his hand and blocked Zhao Hao's spear. Then, he stabbed his sword at Zhao Hao's neck.
"Thump!"
Zhao Hao bent his body forward and relied on his small stature to easily dodge the sword. He then quickly retracted his spear and stabbed at the crippled old man again.
"Da da"
In an instant, the two of them stood together. Although the fight was very hot, this scene was similar to watching a show in White Snow's eyes. After watching for more than three years, she was already used to it. However, her Haozi brother had improved a lot.
At first, she had been beaten black and blue, and her entire body was covered in bruises. She had cried for a long time, but now, she could fight with her grandfather.
"Boring!"
White Snow pouted and supported her chin with her hands. Her clear eyes stared affectionately at Zhao Hao, who was waving his long spear. For a moment, her eyes could not contain anything else, just like a child staring at his favorite toy.
Or maybe there's some difference, a little more attachment
The martial arts scene lasted for an hour before it stopped. The person who announced the end was actually the crippled old man. This scene shocked White Snow. In the past, it was Zhao Hao who couldn't stand the torture and called for it to stop.
"Hehe, old man, you can't do it anymore!”
Zhao Hao grinned smugly. His entire body was drenched in sweat, and there were even a few red and swollen spots on his body. He didn't care because after fighting for so many years, he had finally beaten this stubborn old man. This feeling, this sense of accomplishment, was extremely satisfying.
The old man was stubborn, but Zhao Hao was even more stubborn than him!
"I'm getting old."
The crippled old man laughed as he panted, but his eyes narrowed into a line.
"Brother Haozi is the best!"
The two White Snow Gang members put away their weapons and smiled sweetly at Zhao Hao. They raised their little heads high as if they were saying that this was their Brother Rat. They were so proud that they almost grew a fox tail and wagged it twice.
"The first two words are gone!"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at White Snow, and his excitement slowly dissipated. He stretched his body and felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness in his heart. After all, the feeling of achieving this goal was really not good. Most importantly, the crippled old man was really old and could no longer fight.
If he was ten years younger, he would probably only be able to lie down.
"Haha!"
The crippled old man smiled as he stroked his beard. As he looked at the two people who were playing around in front of him, a decisive look flashed across his narrowed eyes. He made a decision in his heart and slowly turned around. He walked into the house and closed the door in a short while. No one knew what he was doing.
After dinner, Zhao Hao was dragged by White Snow towards a small river in the city.
The night in Yishui City was very quiet. Only the sound of the gentle breeze could be heard. It was intoxicating.
The starry night sky was also beautiful. Countless stars were embellished, like gems embedded in the dark night sky. A small crescent moon hung in the south, sprinkling a faint moonlight, covering everything with a layer of silver silk, adding a few more mysterious colors.
When Zhao Hao and White Snow were blocking the Yi River, the surroundings were still quiet. Only the sound of water flowing slowly could be heard.
"Hmm?"
White Snow looked around as if she was looking for something.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Hao looked at her in confusion. He didn't know what this little girl was up to.
"Find that glowing bug again.”
White Snow said to Zhao Hao as she searched. Her eyes were focused.
"Um... I'm not sure. Silly girl!"
Zhao Hao smiled and pinched White Snow's cheeks.
"What?"
White Snow pouted and said unhappily.
"Don't talk. Sit down."
Zhao Hao pulled White Snow to sit down by the river and made a quiet gesture.
White Snow looked at Zhao Hao suspiciously, but she soon stopped talking. A bright spot suddenly flashed in the grass not far away. It flickered from one side of the grass to the other. As it appeared, the fireflies around it seemed to have run out.
It was as if countless stars had scattered across the world, dancing around Zhao Hao and White Snow.。。
