Chapter 210 (Two Hundred and Ten) Wild Area
Except for Tie Wandao, who knew it well, no one else thought before the result came out that the child he was going to choose was a child with strong willpower but poor physical strength. But he must not tell this criterion before the test is over. If he reveals it in advance, there may be children with strong physical strength pretending to be weak in order to be selected.
Those children tried their best to show their physical strength during the test, but no one expected that the characteristics they tried their best to display were exactly what Tie Wandao didn't want.
In a corner of the empty field, the nine-year-old girl who had been waiting to see Wu Xunsheng's show with a wicked smile said to the nine-year-old boy who called Wu Xunsheng "dumb donkey": "Do you still remember what you said? "
"What words?"
"If he chooses, take off one shoe and put it on your head, jump around ten times on one foot with the other foot, and jump again if the shoe falls off." reminded the nine-year-old girl. After saying that, she asked the other children around her: "Did you also hear what he said just now?"
The children who had heard it before nodded.
Due to pressure from other children, the nine-year-old boy had no choice but to take off one shoe and put it on his head, then hopped around on one foot with the other.
"One lap, two laps... it's gone!"
"It doesn't matter if you fall, just jump again!"
"One lap... Oops, it fell again!"
…
Tie Wandao and his men took Wu Xunsheng on the way back to Tiecangting.
There are four gates outside Tiecangting: east, west, north and south. Usually only the east gate is open. The other three gates are usually closed tightly and do not need to be guarded. The area around the south gate is the place least visited by people in Tiecangting, and many people have never gone in or out from there. The south gate is located in a very vast wilderness with no houses nearby. It is difficult to even see a single person in the wilderness. The south gate and the walls on both sides stood in the wilderness, dividing the wilderness into two parts - one part inside the Tiecang court and the other outside the court. There is a path in the enclosed part of the wild land. This path is quite long. Therefore, if you want to get close to the buildings inside after entering Tiecangting from the south gate, you will have to walk along the path for a long time. The wild land outside the wall is vast and quiet. If people in Tiecangting go out from the south gate and want to go to a prosperous place, they have to walk a long way.
Although it would not matter if other powerful people in Tiecang Court knew about the fact that he specially selected a sparring partner for Tie Hongyan, and they would definitely know about it sooner or later, since Tie Wandao did not want to make it public at the moment, he asked those men Returning to Tiecangting from the east gate, he took Wu Xunsheng to the south gate.
When the two arrived at the wilderness, the fresh air blew into their faces, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, making Wu Xunsheng feel a brief sense of freedom and comfort. It is spring, and the fields are covered with tender green grass and wild flowers of various colors, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
It was already getting late. Not only did Wu Xun Sheng feel extremely tired, but Tie Wandao also felt quite tired. After entering Tiecangting, Tiewandao decided not to deal with things that night but to rest directly. Therefore, he also planned to arrange long-term accommodation for Wu Xunsheng the next day. That day, he asked Wu Xunsheng to live temporarily in an empty room, and Wu Xunsheng went to bed early. Before going to bed, Tie Wandao said to the memorial tablet of his late wife Tie Jinqi: "I have chosen a sparring partner for Hongyan today. I hope that with this child to practice martial arts with her, she will make faster progress and impress others." , I am convinced. I hope she can become the 'real young leader' of the Tiecang tribe in the future, so that others will no longer be picky about her." (End of this chapter)
