Chapter 41 Wild Bees Cause Trouble
In her previous life, Shen Man learned some martial arts skills when she was in police academy, but most of them were close-combat skills such as grappling and fighting.
Judging from the way Li Mufeng appeared like a divine soldier descending from the sky that day, he must be a master of lightness skills.
If she could learn his lightness skill, then flying over rooftops and moving freely would be a piece of cake.
Thinking of this, Shen Man couldn't help but feel excited and thrilled.
"If you really want to learn martial arts from me, then you need to get up early every morning, at dawn, to start training. Are you determined to do that?" Li Mufeng asked her with a serious expression.
"I can do it, please rest assured, sir!" Shen Man replied with the same serious expression.
"Alright, let's start tomorrow!"
During dinner, Shen Man and Lan Xiang talked about learning martial arts from Li Mufeng.
Lanxiang was very surprised when she heard this. She did not expect that her daughter, who did not like studying, would like to learn martial arts.
“Practicing martial arts is much harder than studying. Can you persevere, Man’er?” Lanxiang asked worriedly.
Shen Man looked at her with a determined gaze, "Mother, I can do it. I want to learn the skills of Mr. Li, so that I can not only protect myself, but also help those in need and become a heroine who upholds justice."
Seeing Shen Man's confidence, Lanxiang could no longer dissuade her, and could only advise her: "Then you must be careful and do everything within your ability. Do not rush into things and injure yourself."
"I know, Mom!"
The next morning, before dawn, Shen Man had already finished washing up and came to the courtyard to wait for Li Mufeng.
A moment later, Li Mufeng arrived as promised and began to teach Shen Man the basic boxing routines. He demonstrated the movements while patiently explaining the key points.
Shen Man studied intently, trying her best to do each movement perfectly.
After finishing a set of punches, Shen Man was covered in sweat, but she showed no sign of stopping and continued practicing.
Seeing this, Li Mufeng's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation. "Not bad, but just having the movements isn't enough. You also need to coordinate them with breathing exercises," Li Mufeng instructed.
Shen Man took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing rhythm according to Li Mufeng's instructions.
Gradually, her movements became more fluid and natural, and her breathing became more steady.
After practicing a few more times, Li Mufeng signaled Shen Man to stop and rest.
"That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow. Remember, martial arts training requires a gradual approach; never be greedy or rush things."
Shen Man respectfully clasped her hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, sir. I will keep it in mind."
At this moment, the sun had risen in the east, casting a golden glow.
Shen Man wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling a surge of accomplishment. She looked forward to mastering her skills soon and becoming a true female knight-errant.
After breakfast, Shen Man was thinking about the bees in the field. She hadn't checked on them for quite some time and wondered how they were doing, so she decided to go and check on them.
After all, these bees are an important source of her future income, so she must take good care of them.
However, Lanxiang was unable to leave because she needed to stay home to supervise the craftsmen building the house. Shenman felt that the distance was not far, so she went to the field alone.
When she arrived at the wasteland where the beehives were placed, she was surprised to find that the bees were not busily moving in and out of the hives as usual. Instead, a dozen or so large wild bees were perched on top of each hive, guarding the entrance. Any bee that tried to come out would be quickly caught and devoured.
Shen Man was no stranger to these bees; they were called golden-ringed hornets, a type of fierce wild bee that feeds exclusively on honeybees.
Because of the presence of the golden-ringed hornet, the bees were too frightened to leave their hives easily.
Shen Man couldn't help but worry. If this continued, wouldn't all her bees be eaten up?
She has to find a way to solve this problem.
After observing for a while, Shen Man discovered that these golden-ringed wasps were just guarding the entrance to the beehive and would not attack her.
She had a sudden inspiration, found a long wooden stick, and carefully drove the golden-ringed wasps away from the beehive.
However, the wild bees quickly flew back to their original spot, seemingly determined to guard this "treasure land".
Shen Man felt it was best to try diplomacy first and then take action. She suggested negotiating with them, and if they left on their own, that would be ideal; if they refused to leave, she would have to find a way to get rid of them.
"Who sent you here? Where is your queen bee?"
Shen Man's words seemed to have an effect, as one of the golden-ringed wasps flapped its wings and flew to her.
It hovered in the air, swaying its body up and down, as if considering whether to make a move against Shen Man.
"I'd like to speak with your queen bee," Shen Man said again before it could act.
In the end, the bee decided to let Shen Man go for the time being and take her to see their king.
"You come with me!"
So she followed the wasp through a grove of trees and came to a huge beehive.
The beehive was hanging on a large tree, and many golden-ringed wasps were busy around it.
Shen Man took a deep breath, approached the hive, and shouted, "Queen Bee, I want to talk to you!"
As soon as Shen Man finished speaking, a buzzing sound came from inside the hive. Then, a hornet, larger than the others, flew out.
It stopped in front of the hive and stared at Shen Man.
"Are you the queen bee?" Shen Man asked.
The queen bee gave her an arrogant glance, which was her response.
“I hope you will leave my bee colony,” Shen Man said bluntly.
The queen bee let out a cry, "Why should I?"
Shen Man understood that this negotiation would not be easy.
"Because the bees you prey on have already been taken by me, they are now mine. If you don't leave, I will find a way to deal with you."
"You little human brat, how dare you be so arrogant! Aren't you afraid I'll order my men to kill you right now?"
"You can try it and see if your men are faster or my reinforcements arrive faster!"
As Shen Man spoke, she revealed the bone flute hanging around her neck.
"You actually possess the Tiger King's token!" Upon seeing this, the queen bee began to weigh the pros and cons.
Shen Man calmly said, "As soon as I blow it, flocks of birds will fly over. You should know what will happen to you then. If you insist on being my enemy, we will only suffer losses together. It would be better if we each took a step back and left each other alone."
Shen Man knew that Hu Feng's natural enemy was birds. Once their nests were discovered by birds, they would all be eaten without exception.
After a moment's thought, the queen bee finally agreed to Shen Man's proposal. She then ordered her swarm to leave Shen Man's bee colony.
Shen Man watched the swarm of bees disappear into the distance and breathed a long sigh of relief.
