I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"Mom, do I look sick to you? I ate so much food at noon, and even ate two eggs. I'm invincible in the whole village!"

Ji Xiaobei was joking, and she planned to continue hiding it.

When the moment of birth came, it could no longer be covered up, and Mrs. Lin naturally knew it.

"Bei, you can't not get married. I've asked around. Xiaoyao has no one else in his family except the master and the servant. You should spend more time with him. I think he's a good kid. He's good-looking and sensible. What do you think?"

Ji Xiaobei: So, she was looking for a new job for herself!

Ji Xiaobei chuckled, hugged Mrs. Lin's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mom, I won't leave you, I will support you forever!"

"Who asked you to leave home? If you don't leave, just settle down in our village. Bei, women still have to get married in their lifetime.

Besides, you are still innocent, which makes you more than suitable for that little boy. He is just a little better looking, knows some Kung Fu, and can draw... well, he is actually quite capable, so it is a good thing for us to keep him at home!"

Ji Xiaobei: Mrs. Lin is a wise woman who appears foolish. It is definitely a good deal to keep him.

However, Ji Xiaobei didn't want to get married, not at all. She had money and children, and she really couldn't think of what she needed a man to do.

"Mom, let's talk about this later, okay?" Ji Xiaobei said in a calm voice.

Mrs. Lin was afraid that it would touch her inner pain again.

He said quickly, "Okay, you get in touch with him first. If you like him, we can just make do with him!"

Ji Xiaobei: Who gave Mrs. Lin the confidence?

At night, when the night was deep and the stars were sparse, Fu Jichang and Heita came back carrying three big swords.

He knocked on Ji Xiaobei's door.

Ji Xiaobei opened the door and Fu Jichang slipped in.

A few strands of hair on Fu Jichang's head were wet by the dew and stuck to his forehead, making him look tall and handsome.

Ji Xiaobei glanced at him and said, "Shi Tou has made great progress recently.

You have to teach him alone, at night!"

Fu Jichang nodded. Shitou's boxing skills were among the best in the village, and he pestered Heita to teach him every day.

During this period of time, he seemed to have suddenly become enlightened and made rapid progress.

"And I...I don't know how to use a broadsword!"

Ji Xiaobei looked at the shining knife. She had only touched this thing once, and she used brute force to chop.

So Heita woke up the sleepy Shitou.

When Shitou heard that Heita wanted to teach him some real kung fu, he immediately jumped down from the upper bunk.

The two men came out quietly and closed the door. Aqi and Haixia were sleeping so soundly that they didn't notice anything.

Shitou followed Heita out of the door and saw Ji Xiaobei and Fu Jichang standing on the left and right of the door.

I almost shouted out in surprise.

Ji Xiaobei covered his mouth with his hand.

"Don't shout!"

In the dark night, Shitou stared with his dark eyes and followed his sister out of the alley.

Fu Jichang took them to a small woods at the edge of the village, where there was an open space.

"Shi Tou, you are the only man in the family. If the bandits really come, you will have to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of the whole family.

I want you to learn more Kung Fu from Master Fu...

You have grown up. These days I have watched you at the training ground, and you have become more steady and mature in your words and actions.

I am very pleased and happy. From now on, you must follow Heita to practice martial arts every night."

Shitou's eyes were filled with tears. He finally, finally got his sister's recognition.

He wiped away his tears and nodded heavily, saying, "Sister, don't worry, I will practice hard!"

"Okay, don't tell anyone about the extra practice tonight!"

Ji Xiaobei reminded.

Stone nodded vigorously.

Fu Jichang provided guidance, Ji Xiaobei provided additional explanations, and Heita provided sparring partners...

Shitou was holding a big knife and dancing with great vigor. Half an hour later, he looked like he had just been fished out of the water, leaning on the big knife with one hand, and he was so tired that tears and saliva were streaming.

"Sister..." he gasped.

"Hmm?" Ji Xiaobei said in a light tone.

"It's okay, Black Tower will have one more round!" Shi Tou's voice was cold and stern.

Heita stretched his legs and emerged from the darkness.

Over there, Fu Jichang was teaching Ji Xiaobei, and the two of them fought back and forth, round after round.

An hour later, the four men returned to the village exhausted.

Shitou and Heita returned to their own room, and Shitou hid the knife under Heita's bed.

In the yard, Fu Jichang handed the knife to Ji Xiaobei and said, "Hide the knife and have a good rest! Replenish your energy!"

Ji Xiaobei's legs were shaking. She was so damn tired that she didn't even have the strength to speak. She went back to the house with the knife.

He hid the knife under the bed and fell asleep.

Fu Jichang returned to the room, leaving the door ajar.

Heita pushed the door open and locked it.

"Master, there is new news from the capital city, asking us to hurry back as soon as possible!" Heita said with a frown.

"I have already checked the news that the little beggar brought yesterday, and I have also found out what the county's lawyer has done.

He has connections with the Anzhou government office, but I haven’t found out who it is. The grain allocated by Anzhou went around Wei County, and not a single grain of rice was distributed to the people. It was all sold to Anzhou government…”

"Now that we have the evidence, we can go back and report. Wait a few more days, and when the time is right, we will return to Anzhou."

Fu Jichang said.

Heita didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and went out.

He thought about Ji Xiaobei's words and asked him to help him tell a lie so that Mrs. Lin would let her go to Anzhou.

……

The next day, Shitou was covered in bruises and had wounds on his face and neck.

Aqi and Haixia surrounded him and asked with concern: "Shitou, what happened to you? Who hit you last night?"

Shitou felt sore all over, and shook his almost broken neck and said, "It's okay, I was sleepwalking last night and fell off the upper bunk!"

"Who asked you to fight for the upper bunk? You don't sleep well, I know it best..."

Teacher Haixia said with a grin.

Shitou went out to practice martial arts every night, jumping up and down on the upper bunk. He was afraid of waking Haixia up, so he said:

"Mr. Haixia, why don't you switch with me? If you drop me to death, my sister will definitely fire you..."

Shitou stood up with a groan, took down his quilt and put it on Haixia's bed.

Heita helped Haixia put the quilt on the upper bunk.

"You are a gentleman, so you should have the spirit of self-sacrifice. Otherwise, how can you be called a gentleman?"

As Aqi spoke, he moved Teacher Haixia's pillow to the upper bunk.

Aqi pestered Teacher Haixia to tell him stories every night. Now that both of them were on the upper bunk, it was more comfortable for them to see eye to eye.

Teacher Haixia: I, I agree!
