Chapter 15: Become a Disciple

Chapter 15: Become a Disciple

Chu Liang did not return to his own yard.

Under the burning gazes of many relatives, he walked straight to his second uncle's yard.

"Second uncle!"

He greeted his stunned second uncle with a smile on his face.

"Aliang, you... you got so many prey?"

Looking at the string of prey behind Chu Liang, his second uncle's eyes widened.

Pheasants, rabbits, foxes, voles and even a muntjac!

What a good harvest!

He thought Chu Liang was just going to the surrounding mountains to stroll around. Without the help of hunting dogs, it would be good to get a pheasant.

"Aliang, did you go to the deep mountains?" Second uncle immediately thought of this and asked anxiously.

"Yes." Chu Liang nodded.

"Alas, you are in good health, how can you take such a risk!"

"I am familiar with the roads in the mountains, it is not an adventure."

"What if I run into that blind bear?"

Second uncle was very worried. The wild bear was very likely still wandering in the mountains and forests in this area.

Many people in the village believed that Chu Liang's uncle was dragged away by the blind bear.

In the entire Qingshi Village, who else can beat that thing except Mr. Hu?

Although Chu Liang was powerful, he was also seriously injured by the bear.

"If there were hunting dogs, it would be fine. They would bark when they were in danger and remind you, but you have nothing now. How can you do it alone?" The second uncle's tone was a little heavier, as if he was blaming, but his words were full of concern.

"Don't worry, second uncle, I know my limits." Chu Liang said with a smile.

"How can I be assured?"

"Second uncle, let's go in and talk."

Chu Liang patted the wooden pole on his shoulder and motioned to go into the yard first.

Many of the prey tied to the wooden pole were still alive, and he planned to give half to the second uncle's family.

"Go in and talk?"

The second uncle was stunned for a moment, and he naturally understood what Chu Liang meant.

But he looked around and found that the other relatives of the Chu family were looking at him eagerly, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

Especially the third aunt's family, her family will have a particularly difficult life in the future without a man.

"Aliang, how about..."

"Second uncle, go in first!"

Chu Liang shook his head slightly, his attitude was very firm.

He would only share these prey with the second uncle's family.

As for how the second uncle's family would deal with it, that was not his business.

"Well, okay."

The second uncle sighed, he was also extremely disappointed with this group of relatives.

The two entered the yard one by one.

With a creak, the gate closed.

The eyes of many relatives of the Chu family were isolated outside.

"Humph, the second brother must be very happy, right? His family can share so many prey!" The fourth aunt said sourly.

"Yes, the second brother didn't say a few words for us."

The mood of all the relatives was very complicated.

Some envied, some regretted, and some hoped that the second uncle could share some with them.

In the yard, Chu Liang shared half of the prey with the second uncle's family. The second uncle didn't want to take so much, but Chu Liang said that the value of the old mountain ginseng far exceeded these prey.

The second uncle couldn't refuse, but finally accepted it.

Several children in his family are still young and need to supplement meat, especially the eldest son Chushan, who has just turned fourteen and is at the right age to eat.

"Aliang, let's have a drink tonight?"

"Okay!"

Chuliang agreed with a smile, and then went to his home to get a jar of medicinal wine.

At night, wisps of smoke rose.

Second Aunt skillfully slaughtered a pheasant and stewed a large pot of chicken soup. The rich fragrance drifted out of the yard with the evening breeze, and most of the village could smell it.

In the village, ordinary people's dinner is basically porridge, rice bran steamed bread, etc.

Smelling the mouth-watering chicken soup, the steamed bread in the hands of the villagers is no longer fragrant.

"It smells so good, the second brother's family is stewing chicken!"

Fifth Aunt squatted at the door of her house, inhaling the fragrance and swallowing her saliva.

Several children in her family drooled all over the floor, all looking at the yard of the second uncle's house, their stomachs rumbling.

In the room, Uncle Wu said with some regret: "Alas, I really shouldn't have had a quarrel with Aliang. If we had known that he could recover, we should have visited him more often when he was injured."

"Aliang is also very stingy. We are all relatives, so why should we have such a quarrel?" Aunt Wu couldn't help complaining.

"Why don't we find a way to ease the tension?"

"I can only go to my second brother, but he is soft-hearted..."

Uncle Wu felt mixed emotions.

In the yard on the other side, Uncle Si's family was also discussing.

At this time, Uncle Er's house was quite lively. Several children were eating with greasy mouths and satisfied looks on their faces.

Chu Liang was in a good mood, smiling, and clinked glasses with Uncle Er, and he felt more relaxed than ever before.

After three rounds of wine, Uncle Er suddenly pulled his eldest son Chu Shan to his side. His expression became more complicated. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Chu Liang immediately said: "Uncle, just say what you want to say."

"Okay, Aliang..."

Uncle paused and continued: "Ashan is an honest child with a simple mind. If he doesn't have any luck in the future, he will just be a farmer for the rest of his life like me."

"Uncle wants Ashan to learn hunting from me?" Chu Liang asked.

Although hunting in the mountains is risky, as long as the luck is not too bad, life will definitely be better than that of ordinary farmers.

Uncle was thinking this way.

He has several children, and he can't let them all be farmers for life. One child must take risks.

He said: "If you don't have time, then..."

"If I have time, of course!"

Chu Liang agreed with a smile.

Hearing this, his second uncle was overjoyed and immediately pulled Chu Shan and said to him: "Ashan, kneel down quickly and worship your eldest brother as your master!"

"Master!"

Chu Shan knelt down quickly, and with a plop, he fell to the ground.

Afterwards, he respectfully made a cup of apprentice tea and went through the process very formally.

"Okay!"

Chu Liang smiled and accepted this disciple.

With this relationship, the two families became much closer invisibly.

In this era, the relationship between master and apprentice is quite close, and many masters and apprentices are even comparable to father and son.

At the beginning, the old hunter who taught Chu Liang hunting skills raised Chu Liang as his adopted son.

Chu Liang also took care of the old hunter until his death and took care of him until the last part of his journey.

Time passed, and the moon rose above the branches.

It was late at night.

After eating and drinking, Chu Liang said goodbye to his second uncle's family.

That night, he did not continue to practice martial arts, but slept soundly.

Combining work and rest, and relaxing in moderation, this is the truth that every martial artist knows.

After practicing martial arts for a long time, you need to rest for a few days, otherwise it is easy to practice yourself.

When he woke up the next day, Chu Liang felt refreshed and stretched his body.

"Comfortable!"

Chu Liang had a simple breakfast and then went out.

He went to his second uncle's house, called Chu Shan, and took him to the end of the village.

"Brother, are we going hunting today?" Chu Shan asked curiously.

"No, let's go find Carpenter Wang first and make you a set of tools."

There lived a carpenter named Wang Lin at the end of the village. He was proficient in carpentry and had skilled skills. He had been doing this business for most of his life.

On the way, Chu Liang threw his precious bow to Chu Shan.

"Try it, I'll see how far you can pull it."

"Okay."

Chu Shan held the precious bow, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength.

His whole body was tense, his face flushed, his hands were trembling, and he barely pulled it open a little.

Seeing this, Chu Liang had a basic assessment of Chu Shan's strength.

This scene happened to be seen by his second uncle and second aunt.

"What is Aliang's bow made of? Why is it so hard to pull it open? Our Ashan is not weak either." Second aunt couldn't help whispering.

"I don't know, but it's a treasure anyway."

Second uncle knew very well that the bow was precious. Many young hunters in the village were very envious, especially Zhao Hu's group.

At this time, the fourth uncle suddenly appeared in the second uncle's field of vision.

He smiled apologetically, ran to the second uncle's side in small steps, and whispered: "Second brother, has your Ashan worshipped Aliang as his master?"

"Why?"

"Second brother, look... my Aqiang is not young anymore, can Aliang also teach my Aqiang?"
