The Book of Heaven

Chapter 18 Warm feet
Ma Zheng wanted to sleep, of course not this little girl, but sleep.

Lamp oil is precious, and more importantly, if you don't sleep, you will be hungry.

"What's your name?"

Before blowing the lamp, Ma Zheng asked.

"Gu Ying."

"Ying or Ying? Forget it, I guess you don't know either."

"Wang Bangying."

"Oh? You can read? Who taught you?" Ma Zheng, who was about to blow the lamp, was slightly taken aback.

Just like when the third uncle learned that he could read and write, Ma Zhengben's eyes that were about to close suddenly brightened. If the distance is close and his eyesight is good enough, he can even see a faint blue light.

Ma Zheng couldn't help being vigilant, few of the Ma family's children could read and write, let alone a girl who didn't know her background.

"My mother taught me."

"who is it?"

"Mother. It's mother."

"Where is she?" Ma Zheng couldn't sit still anymore, he rolled over and got off the bed, approaching Ying Gu and asked.

"exist"

Taking a closer look at Ying Gu, Ma Zheng finally understood why she made herself so dirty. It was because she had a flawless face. It is covered up with black and dirty things, and I am afraid that it will be snatched away before I turn 14 next year.

Xu Shideli has her washboard-like figure, coupled with her dirty cover-up, to be able to stay alone until now.

"where is she?"

A beautiful woman is always dangerous, even if a woman is not dangerous, she will attract danger.

Ma Zheng wanted to find out who Ying Gu's mother was, and he didn't want to offend a woman for no reason, especially a woman who had studied.

"Working as a maid in the castle master's house, Ma Qiwu brought her here."

"Handmaid?" Ma Zheng snorted coldly in his heart. According to the practice of this era, Yinggu's mother is at most thirty, not even in her early years. It is the age when women are most charming. Ma Zheng is sure that the ink will become a disaster. Such a woman will be a maid?
"When did you two follow Ma Qiwu? When did your mother go to the castle owner's house?"

The more Ma Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that it was not simple.

After all, Ying Gu was only thirteen, and as Ma Zheng approached her step by step, she leaned back slightly, her mouth trembled a little, and her whole body began to tremble.

"My mother brought me here three months ago, and then she went to the owner's house. I don't know about the others."

After hurriedly saying this, Ying Gu bowed down with her head in her hands, turning into a shriveled ball. Ma Zheng retracted her five fingers, like a cat that just caught a fish.

Ma Zheng, who returned to the bedside, stared at Ying Gu with serious eyes.

How can there be such a coincidence in this world, Ying Gu's mother brought Ying Gu, followed Ma Qiwu to live in, and was immediately sent to the castle owner's house as a maid.

"Has your mother been home recently?"

"I came back the day Ma Qiwu died, and occasionally after that, the last time was seven days ago."

There are too many variables in Ma Zheng's mind, but it makes him feel like a stone is pressing on his chest, stuffy.After staring at Ying Gu for a second time, he waved his heart and said:
"Come and sleep on the other side of my feet, warm my feet, Ma Zhao carried the chair to the door to sleep!"

Ying Gu seemed to have resigned to her fate, and did not fight to the death, not sleeping in the same bed with Ma Zheng.

And Ma Zheng really didn't think about taking advantage of Ying Gu. It's almost the end of the year, and the temperature is dropping so fast in the deep mountains of Majiabao. The room with the stove will be very cold.

The bed was very clean. Although the quilt didn't look pretty, it was soft and warm. At least it was more comfortable than the quilt Ma Zheng remembered from when his family was in the best circumstances. However, Ying Gu was wearing very thin clothes. If you sleep on the floor, you will definitely be frozen out tomorrow when you wake up.

As for Ma Zhao, it doesn't matter, the third uncle has said that Ma Zhao doesn't look like a man in any way, and he looks like a mandrill, even if he sleeps in the ice and snow for three to five days, he won't get sick.

Ying Gu, who touched the bed carefully, looked like a cat in the dark, pulling the bedding with her claws lightly.

Ma Zheng, who was on his back, didn't say a word, he didn't even want to pay attention, but after Ying Gu lay down completely, he said:
"If you want to touch me, the big fool at the door will kill you, and will wait here until your mother comes back, and then kill your mother."

"Clang clang."

Something fell to the ground, and Ma Zheng closed his eyes and didn't move or speak.

It has been three years since the injury.

In the past three years, Ma Zheng has spent less and less time sleeping.Practicing the "Yi Jin Jing" led him into the door. Although it was just an introduction, the strengthening of the body was visible to the naked eye.

But the "Yi Jin Jing" alone can't meet Ma Zheng's needs. What he wants is "Scary Heart Method".

According to the third uncle, only the soul-stirring mentality is in line with Ma Zheng's attributes, so that Ma Zheng can gallop all the way on the road of martial arts.

As for the frightening stick method, the third uncle also valued it, but Ma Zheng felt that it should only be a more important supplement.

Different from ordinary people who have opened up the two meridians of Ren and Du, the advantage of practicing the "Yi Jin Jing" is that even if the other meridians are not opened, because of the "Yi Jin Jing", there is breath in the meridian to warm and nourish, just waiting for the water to come to fruition that day.

Ma Zheng couldn't mobilize these breaths yet, but it didn't prevent it from nourishing Ma Zheng's body.

It was supposed to be the upper, middle and lower three sets of cudgel techniques in line with the mental method, but it is not necessary to have the perfect mental method to complete the moves.The art masters in Majiabao are not as good as the third uncle, and they have to break down a set of stick skills according to the rules and teach them according to the state of mind of each child.

Judging from Ma Qisan's performance today, Ma Zheng felt that he might not have learned as many moves as he did.

Originally, Ma Zheng could master the first-level and third-stage mental techniques in the cabin in the forest, and then return to Majiabao.

But there are some discrepancies in time.

In less than three months, the three-year martial arts competition in Majiabao will start after the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.It's called the Martial Arts Competition, but it's actually a school exam, where the able advance and the weak retreat.Limited resources cannot make chickens and dogs rise to heaven, and good steel can only be used wisely.

The waist card given to Ma Zheng by the third uncle is only a lower four, and according to the regulations, he is only qualified for a first-level and two-level mental method. The five stages are well integrated, even if thrown into the rivers and lakes, it can be regarded as a character.

For the Jiazibao with two hundred children, the upper Si has one pair of hands, the middle Si only has two more hands, and the rest of the level is similar to Ma Zheng, and the lower Si has two dans on one level.

It was precisely because he was worried that he would not be able to catch up with the martial arts competition, and if he missed it, he would have to wait another three years, so the third uncle urged Ma Zheng to return to the castle.

However, the number of places to participate in the martial arts competition of the four forts is always limited, one hundred thirty or forty four, but there are only five places for the first-class fort, so why not let people fight for their heads?
The freckled face and red nose in the restaurant were dismissed by Ma Zheng at the same level in public at this juncture, and someone will definitely report it to the master of Chuanyi later, and don't expect the master to be selfish. The opportunity to perform martial arts.

As for whether he can be selected, Ma Zheng is not very worried, isn't there Ma Zhao?Followers can also be regarded as a kind of strength, and there has been no real fairness in this world since ancient times.

If you think too much, it is not suitable to practice Qi. Ma Zheng couldn't calm down even when he opened his eyes and closed his eyes after the lights were turned off. Jinjing" has been the biggest gain in the past three years.
