Chapter 74: Learning Skills

  A slender long face, thick and black eyebrows, a pair of fine and long eyes, a straight and tall nose bridge, lips that are neither too thick nor too thin, skin with a hint of wheat color, a faint blueish tint on the chin, wearing a traditional Chinese white jacket on top and loose-fitting black pants below, with a pair of all-black cloth shoes on his feet - an elegant and refined old gentleman, identified by Luo Ye.

  Luo Ye sized up Yuan Lao at the same time, and Yuan Lao was also carefully sizing up Luo Ye and Luo Feng. Finally, his gaze stopped on Luo Ye's body, nodded: "Not bad, good foundation, your grandfather didn't deceive me"

  "Thank you, Grandfather Yuan," Luo Ye said with a smile, while secretly sweating. "Good roots?" This phrase seemed familiar to her, often heard in martial arts movies and TV shows. Was Old Yuan from a family of martial artists? Luo Ye's curiosity was piqued, and she decided that once she got to know him better, she would dig deeper.

  Luofeng's face revealed a hint of disappointment after hearing Yuan Lao's evaluation. He didn't mind being inferior to his sister in other aspects, but he had promised to protect her, and yet his martial skills were not even as good as hers - how could he possibly protect her?

  Lao's gaze fell on Luo Feng: "You may not be as good as your sister, but you're also a rare talent. As long as you have perseverance and determination, you won't necessarily lose to your sister. After all, girls are at a disadvantage when it comes to physical strength."

  "Thank you, Master!" Luofeng, who was originally disappointed to the extreme, suddenly became excited, and the two words "Master" were involuntarily shouted out.

  Yuan Lao smiled slightly: "Just call me Grandpa, it's not worth being called Master. You've only been practicing with me for a few months, I've just taught you the basics, how dare I be called Master?"

  Lu Ye's eyes lit up, and he quickly put down the pine ball, then pulled Lu Feng to kneel down: "Even if it's just for one day, we should still pay respects to our master." After saying that, he knocked his head on the ground with a "thud", and Lu Feng followed suit.

  Yuan Lao looked at the brother and sister, smiling helplessly. He didn't want to take them as apprentices, for people who practiced martial arts, they were already "overaged". Just as he was about to refuse again, he felt Old Man Luo's expectant gaze beside him, so he changed his mind, smiled and nodded: "Alright, you can be my apprentices, come learn from me during holidays, and remember to practice regularly, no problem?"

  "No problem," replied the brother and sister in unison.

  Luoye's heart was filled with joy, heaven indeed favored her. She had been worried about how to resolve the issue of her skills in the future, and then heaven sent a master to her, oh yeah

  "Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Yuan." Luobaoju smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

  "Lu Brothers, you are my first friend since I came here, it's only right." Yuan Lao's eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy before quickly recovering to clarity: "Lu Ye, Lu Feng, from now on, 6am to 10am every morning is your practice time, can you do that?"

  Ability

  "Alright, since you're here today, let's get started." Yuan Lao took a glance at the Totoro on Luo Ye's shoulder and the small Song Qiu in her arms. Luo Ye quickly placed Song Qiu gently into a small basket and instructed Totoro to keep an eye on him.

  Lu Ye finished speaking, and Tiao Tiao let out two "chirps" and nodded its small head, lying down beside the basket. Even Yuan Lao's usually calm silver lips twitched several times, it seemed that his life would be more colorful for a while.

  From this moment on, Luo Ye and Luo Qing's martial arts career officially began. Grandpa Luo watched for a while, then happily carried the basket to dig up sweet potatoes. Old Yuan also loved eating sweet potatoes, he wanted to dig more and put them in the sun to dry for about twenty days before boiling them, making the sweet potatoes especially sweet and sticky.

  For several days in a row, the two siblings were trained by Old Yuan until they were exhausted, and as soon as they returned home, they would lie down and not want to move. Xiao Song had a special affection for Luo Ye, and he would hum and snuggle up against her before feeling content.

  The weather was really too hot, Luo Ye had already sweated a lot, and then she lay on this furry ball, cooing as she hugged it down. The little thing didn't like it, curled up in the corner and hummed with a wronged expression.

  Every time it was Luo Ye who compromised, reluctantly picking it up and placing it on her belly, the little thing would calm down, its four small paws dangling downwards as it fell asleep together with Luo Ye.

  Doudou couldn't bear to bully his little master, so he chose a place to lie down - Luo Feng's small belly. Every time Grandpa Luo saw this scene, he would laugh with tears in his eyes.

  The old man began to seriously consider his youngest son's proposal, moving in with him and his family. This kind of familial joy was something he couldn't experience here. His older sons were filial, but their wives were in charge of the household, and his grandsons and granddaughters didn't dare get too close to him. He hadn't felt a big difference before, but this period of time with Feng'er and Ye'er following Yuan Lao to practice martial arts in the morning and accompanying him to work or chat in the afternoon had made him feel a deep affection for this kind of life where his grandchildren surrounded him.

  ……

  "Bad egg, bad egg!" Luo Ye accidentally kicked a small stone while climbing over the wall and falling into the courtyard. Seeing that the stone almost hit herself, she got angry and flapped her wings in protest.

  "It's broken, you scared me to death!" Luo Ye poked her head in and went inside with a satisfied expression, while behind her came Honghong's flustered and noisy voice.

  This period of practice has really benefited her a lot. Originally, she didn't have much hope for this exercise, just thinking that having a way to cover up was very happy. Only after actually practicing did she discover that Old Yuan is not ordinary, and from her rapid progress, it can be seen how formidable Old Yuan is.

  Although she asked about past events every time, Old Yuan would always dodge the question, but she believed that Old Yuan's family background should not be simple, hiding in this small village, there must be some unavoidable sorrow.

  It's not that she's being nosy, but the occasional desolation in Yuan Lao's eyes has already been discovered by her more than once. Unfortunately, Shifu is unwilling to tell her.

  "Leaf, drink some juice." Grandfather Yuan happily handed a cup of peach juice to Luo Ye. During this time, the old man had been using the juicer non-stop. Every time Luo Ye and Luo Feng came back, they could enjoy the lovingly made juice from the old man.

  Seeing his grandson swaying in, the old man quickly handed over another cup of juice: "Feng'er, look at Ye'er being so energetic and lively every day, jumping back over the wall, why are you still so listless?"

  "Grandpa, don't mention it. I'm far inferior to Ye in this aspect. I also wanted to jump over the wall and come in, but unfortunately, I couldn't make it."

  "Brother, don't worry, I'm thinner and lighter than you, that's the main reason. Besides, Master is mainly training your strength because it's too great, and it's definitely not the same for me."

  "It's true, Master said that I shouldn't compare with my sister, but I've made great progress." Luo Feng became happy again: "Ye Er, from now on, no matter what happens, don't take action, brother will protect you."

  "Good" Luo Ye gently touched her cup against her brother's: "A word is a promise."

  "Woof woof......" A certain neglected ball was unhappy, recently Luo Ye didn't take it to Yuan Lao's place anymore. The reason was that whenever this little thing went there, the snow-white mother of the pine lion would lie down next to it and wouldn't leave, which caused dissatisfaction from the wheat-colored father of the pine lion. Luo Ye was afraid that this little thing would be hurt by its own father, so she didn't dare take it there.

  "Komatsumaru, you can be proud of yourself." Raku Yotsuba smiled and picked up the fluffy little thing, teasing it to come flying over and gently pecking at its head, which again caused a burst of humming sounds.

  "Fourth Uncle, I've been hearing laughter coming from your house all the way from afar. These two kids have really brought liveliness to your home." Next door's Xiao Xiao's mom walked in carrying a tray: "I made some steamed buns, Fourth Uncle and Little Feng and Little Ye don't need to cook lunch today."

  "Xiao Xiao's mom, you're so busy, don't worry about us." Old Master Luo smiled and went to the inner room to fetch a box of gifts: "Take this back with you, I heard your father is not in good health, give it to him as a supplement."

  "Fourth Uncle, why are you being so polite with me? I brought the mantou for you because I thought it's rare for city kids to come to a rural place like this, but I don't know if they'll like it or not." Xiaoxiao's mom actually looked a bit shy.

  "I like her, of course I do, thank you Fourth Aunt." Luo Ye hastily expressed his opinion. He actually quite liked this Fourth Aunt Ru, who had taken good care of Grandfather in the past and was indeed better than both Eldest Uncle's wife and Second Uncle's wife.

  Since the last family meeting, Aunt and Second Aunt haven't come over again. Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle would occasionally drop by to send some seasonal fruits and vegetables, with Second Uncle often sneaking them in behind his wife's back.

  "If you like, then I'll go back, there's still a pot on the stove." Lu Si Shu walked two steps and turned back to smile: "Right, at 2 pm this afternoon, Xiaoxiao's mother-in-law's house, if Fourth Uncle and Xiao Feng Xiao Ye have time, help take a look together."

  Lao Ye smiled and nodded: "Good, we'll definitely go then." Luo Ye also nodded repeatedly. In rural areas, when something like this happens, people always hope for more excitement and celebration, especially with her and her brother's status, Lu Si Shu should be hoping they'd go to liven up the scene.

  Having obtained a definite answer from the three of them, Lu Siniang's footsteps became much lighter. Her daughter was her heart disease, and now that someone had proposed marriage, if it could be accomplished, it would also settle one of her heart's affairs.

  "Fourth Master, Little Yezi, Little Fengzi, today I'm going to meet my daughter-in-law, can you guys go and take a look for me?" Before long, Ru Fourth Aunt walked in with a smile on her face.

  "Okay, let's go help you see." Luo Ye smiled and pointed at the small stool: "Xiao Xiao, sit down."

  Xiao Xiao sat down, not satisfied, and rolled her eyes at Luo Ye: "Little Yezi is bad, I'm older than you and Xiao Feng, should be called sister, later when we meet my brother-in-law, should call brother-in-law, do you know or not?"

  "Got it," Luo Ye smiled and replied. It was natural for him to speak with Xiao Xiao, otherwise the consequences would be very severe.

  "Grandpa, have you eaten yet?" Along with the clear voice, a girl with a ponytail and a delicate face walked in, who was none other than Luo Ping, the sister of the second uncle's family.

  Lao Ye laughed and said: "We've eaten, Xiao Xiao's mom made some oven buns and sent us some."

  "Fei Fei, you're here too?" Xiao Xiao excitedly got up and pulled Luo Ping: "I'm going to meet my daughter-in-law today, can you help me take a look? You're my deskmate, you have to go, okay?"

  Lu Ping's face showed a look of disgust: "Xiao Xiao, it's so hot today, holding hands is so uncomfortable, let go of me quickly."
