Chapter 12: Boiling people
On the second day, before dawn, everyone got up.
Meng Yuan rested for a night. Although there were still bruises and swelling on his body, it was much better, and the essence fire was slightly smaller.
"When I was starving and freezing, the fire essence kept feeding back. Now it seems that the fire essence can slowly repair the injury."
“I just don’t know what will happen if I am seriously injured, life or death?”
Meng Yuan reviewed what happened last night.
The melee last night was completely random, without any structure at all.
Meng Yuan and Tieniu had a strong light, and they were able to fight against each other. But when the light went dark, it was hard to tell who was going to hit whom.
Tieniu, in particular, swung his fists blindly as soon as he gained momentum. Not only did he injure the enemy, but Meng Yuan also received two hard blows on his back.
The main injury on Meng Yuan's body was caused by Tieniu!
Moreover, he made a big fuss in the dormitory when he first came to study art. Meng Yuan was already prepared for the worst.
He got up to wash up before dawn, and Meng Yuan took the opportunity to give Tieniu instructions.
"Tieniu, remember, if Master Nie comes to ask, just tell the truth. I was the main culprit in what happened last night, Master Nie can clearly tell. If you drive me away then, don't talk nonsense, and you must stay. "Meng Yuan said.
"Then you leave, what should I do?" Tieniu was at a loss, "My father asked me to follow you, and I will do whatever you do."
"Listen to me." Meng Yuan said.
"You're leaving. It's not interesting for me to be alone. Let's just leave together and go back to the village to shovel manure." Tieniu didn't look far into the future.
Meng Yuan patted Tie Niu on the shoulder, knowing that he could not be persuaded, so he said no more.
After washing, it’s morning exercise.
The atmosphere was slightly different today. Male and female students looked at Meng Yuan and Tieniu from time to time, but their expressions were different.
After morning exercise, everyone went to the cafeteria. Breakfast is hot porridge, pickles and steamed buns.
As soon as he sat down, Wu Changsheng followed him.
Without asking any questions, Wu Changsheng came out in a hurry.
The person who received the hardest beating last night was Liu He, the son of Manager Liu.
The tall girl is called Hu Qian, the youngest daughter of the princess's wet nurse.
These two people are considered to be the highest-status among the students, and they are also the leaders of the male and female students. Especially Hu Qian, her words always work.
"What happened last night is not big or small. That bitch Liu He will definitely file a complaint. Then Sister Qian and I will plead for you!" Wu Changsheng was very loyal.
Meng Yuan nodded slightly and looked at Liu He who was not far away.
Liu He was also looking at Meng Yuan. He no longer looked like he was crying, but instead said fiercely: "Boy, just wait! When I sue Master Nie, I will kick you out today!"
Meng Yuan stood up, and Liu He was so frightened that he almost couldn't sit still.
After training for an hour in the morning, Nie Yannian arrived belatedly.
When he saw all the young men with bruises and bruises, he smiled and said, "We were competing for the oiran last night? Who won and who lost?"
"Master Nie!" Liu He took a step forward. There was a big gash on his lip, and his eyes were swollen with only a crack left. He said aggrievedly: "Master Nie, the new men Meng Yuan and Zhao Tieniu beat me last night. The reason is …”
"Don't give me any fucking reasons!" Nie Yannian interrupted Liu He angrily, stepped forward, and patted Liu He on the head with his big hand, "You are here to learn martial arts! If you lose, fight back, and then fight back." Are you filing a complaint against me? I don’t care whether you have any reason or not. ! How old are you, you don’t understand this? Do you want me to lift up my clothes and let you sip my breasts? Otherwise, I will definitely stuff this useless thing back into your mother’s belly! Something!”
Liu He didn't expect that Nie Yannian would ignore the complaint at all and instead mock him. He couldn't stand it anymore and cried again.
"It sounds so good to cry!" Nie Yannian laughed, "If the little guy wants to be the rabbit master, he will definitely be the top one!"
All the boys and girls were stunned.
Meng Yuan was also stunned. Let alone Nie Yannian's martial arts, Meng Yuan knew that he would never be able to match Nie Yannian's ability to injure others.
Nie Yannian walked up to Meng Yuan with his hands behind his back and asked, "I heard that you are good at fighting?"
He had spoken to Meng Yuan and Tieniu yesterday and knew that Tieniu was stupid and Meng Yuan must have started the fight.
"It's all my fault, please punish Master Nie!" Meng Yuan did not respond to other people's questions and directly expressed his willingness to be punished.
Anyway, no matter what the punishment is, I will accept it.
"Master Nie..." Wu Changsheng was about to plead, but Nie Yannian stared at him.
"You two go and stand on the plum blossom pile for a day. If you fall, climb up and stand again!" Nie Yannian punished him.
Plum blossom pile is used to practice body coordination and balance, and is divided into high pile and low pile. Moreover, to prevent practitioners from falling and being injured, fine sand is spread under the piles.
This hardly counts as punishment. Although it is difficult for novices to stand on horseback for a day, Meng Yuan and Tieniu are both strong young men, and they will only fall a few somersaults at most.
Meng Yuan quickly pulled Tieniu to accept the punishment, and the two of them stood on the plum blossom pile. At the end of the day, the two of them fell off the plum blossom pile dozens of times, and their legs felt like they had lost all feeling. However, when the party ended at night, the two of them cleaned themselves up and returned to the men's dormitory, no one dared to provoke them.
The two bundles were placed together, no one touched them, no one even wanted to get too close.
Liu He looked gloomy, and he got medicine from somewhere and applied it to his face.
According to the rules, male and female students are strictly prohibited from leaving the school grounds, and are not allowed to contact anyone outside the school grounds.
When Liu He saw Meng Yuan and Tieniu, he pretended to hum, but in the end he was afraid of the pain and did not dare to say a word.
Meng Yuan ignored him and went to sleep alone.
From then on, Meng Yuan only trained according to Master Nie's instructions every day, working hard and eating big meals.
But Nie Yannian originally came twice a day, but after the fight he came once a day. He didn't teach any moves and just let the young people work hard, just like herding sheep.
As the New Year is getting closer and closer, all the students see that they have to celebrate the New Year in the school grounds, but Nie Yannian not only refuses to teach true skills, but also simply doesn't come.
When these students saw that they were no longer under control, they couldn't help but start thinking.
At first, I just slacked off on training, but later I even slept in and stopped doing morning exercises.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Especially Liu He, whether because he was used to a good life or because he was resentful towards Nie Yannian, he actually took the lead in pulling up several people and worked three poles a day before getting up. He doesn't pay attention during training and always seduces and talks to female students. Whenever the north wind is strong, I go back to the men's dormitory to sleep.
Moreover, he was not stupid, and even arranged an informant to prevent Nie Yannian from suddenly coming to investigate, but Nie Yannian never showed up again.
Of the twenty-seven students, nearly half were fooling around.
Meng Yuan watched with cold eyes, but never had the idea of being lazy. I get up before dawn every day to practice, and I am meticulous and never compromise.
Tieniu is a fool, he is simple-minded, and he only trains with Meng Yuan every day because of Zhao Datou's instructions.
In the blink of an eye, less than half a month passed, and it was New Year's Eve, and snowflakes began to fall in the sky again.
The princess was kind-hearted, and she sent people a new year's reward. Each student received a roast chicken and two kilograms of pork.
But Nie Yannian still didn't show up, and no one was allowed to go out.
The sound of firecrackers outside the school grounds can still be heard, and the music of silk and bamboo can still be heard.
It was supposed to be a day for family reunions, but everyone had no choice but to practice in the snow, and some families actually cried.
Meng Yuan didn't take it seriously at all. He should eat and drink when he should.
On the first day of the New Year, Meng Yuan got up before dawn, called Tieniu and went out together.
The north wind howls and heavy snow covers the ground, adding to the loneliness.
Meng Yuan and Tieniu fetched water from the well, washed their faces and brushed their teeth, then started sweeping the snow before doing morning exercises.
First do a set of punches to warm up, then pick up stone locks to exercise your arm strength, and then do a horse stance to punch.
Usually, even if someone is lazy, there will still be a dozen or so people coming for morning exercise, but Meng Yuan and Tieniu practiced for a quarter of an hour, but no one else came.
"Brother, today is the New Year, and everyone has to have a good rest. Why should we practice if they don't come? They all secretly say that we are fools." Tieniu asked naively with steam on his head.
"Master Nie once said that a day of practice is a day of practice, and a day of non-practice is ten days of emptiness. This means that martial arts training requires perseverance and practice every day to make continuous progress. If you interrupt practice for one day, you will lose the results accumulated before. It will take more time to get back to the original level.”
Meng Yuan punched his fist and said: "Tieniu, I am a refugee, and your father is a sharecropper. To put it bluntly, he is a jerk. Learning martial arts is the only opportunity that can change our destiny, so we need to be strong Catch.”
"But no one looked at it. Master Nie didn't come for several days. They all said that Master Nie didn't care about us." Tieniu was puzzled.
"We practice for ourselves, not for Master Nie. Don't care what others think, we just do what we do." Meng Yuan said.
In fact, Meng Yuan has his own opinions. Judging from the princess' previous behavior, it is obvious that she knows how to do things and is capable of doing things.
In this case, how could the princess allow Master Nie to herd sheep with her fierce vigor in dealing with Li Zhuangtou?
The princess trained this group of young people and strictly ordered them not to leave the school grounds and not go home during the New Year. It was obvious that they had not forgotten this group of people. After all, they had given meat as a gift yesterday on New Year's Eve.
In Meng Yuan's view, the princess probably wanted to select a group of people who were hard-working, honest and obedient, and able to bear their temper.
Because practicing martial arts is the hardest work, it cannot be achieved overnight, and there is no room for cheating and cheating. It requires patience, perseverance, and perseverance.
All of them are young people around fifteen years old. They started martial arts a little late, and they are not exceptionally talented. Only by being self-disciplined and obedient can they achieve some success.
Therefore, Meng Yuan felt that the princess or Master Nie was trying to select people who could be trained.
Of course, Meng Yuan did not dare to conclude that his idea was right.
But no matter what, it is beneficial and harmless to you to eat and drink every day and to build up your strength.
If after the first lunar month, Master Nie still hasn't taught him the true skills, Meng Yuan will plan to jump off the ship. At that time, whether he is going to lick plum blossoms or thinking of other ways, he will have to find a way out.
After all, that little girl Jiang Tang is still waiting in Mu Village.
