Chapter 60 Betrayal
"You'd better stop tossing. If you keep tossing, your legs will become useless. After they become useless, you will have to lie in bed every day and see where you can go." Zhou Shitang's expression was serious, more serious than ever.

Zhou Shiye suddenly shuddered and became frightened. He quickly lay back down and said, "I won't bother anymore."

He doesn't want to lie in bed every day.

Zhou Shitang: "Ah Huai said that your injury is not serious. It is possible that he has suffered a more serious injury. In comparison, your injury is not that serious."

"You have to be careful. We don't have any valuable medicinal materials at home. It will be difficult to treat an infection, and I don't know any medical skills."

Zhou Shiye frowned, "Can't you treat minor illnesses and pains? Mine are just minor pains."

Zhou Shitang spread his hands and said, "If you get infected, it will be a big pain. I can't handle it, so don't count on me."

Her little medical knowledge about three-legged cats is not enough.

Zhou Shitang comforted Zhou Shiye and went out to find Zhou Yancheng, "Dad, I want to officially become Uncle Su's disciple. You know him better. Do you think he will agree?"

Zhou Yancheng's eyes were deep.

Theoretically speaking, if he and Su Bo'an are not at odds with each other, his daughter should not become Su Bo'an's teacher.

But on the other hand, Su Bo'an is indeed a capable person, and he is more protective of his shortcomings. If Su Bo'an accepts Tangtang as his disciple, his relationship with Su Bo'an will be ignored.

Su Bo'an will also protect Tangtang, which is equivalent to Tangtang having one more person to protect her.

Now Tangtang has been practicing martial arts with Su Bo'an. Apart from having no status, she is actually almost like a master and apprentice.

The thoughts in Zhou Yancheng's mind were fleeting, "I'm really not sure about this. He once had an apprentice who betrayed him, and he never accepted another apprentice again."

"Actually, I didn't expect that he agreed to teach you martial arts."

Su Bo'an has a single-minded mind. Once he decides on something, ten cows can't get him back.

Zhou Shitang was curious, "What did his apprentice do?"

Zhou Yancheng shook his head, "I don't know the specific reason."

"Okay." Zhou Shitang sighed, then thought of Qiao Yunzhi and continued, "I met Aunt Su yesterday, and she said Uncle Su would agree to accept me as his disciple."

Zhou Yancheng's expression remained unchanged, "That's half the possibility, but even if you don't become his apprentice in the end, you don't have to be sad. You just need to regard him as your master in your heart. He doesn't have to have a name."

Zhou Shitang nodded and understood.

The family got up and continued to work together. After breakfast, everyone did their own thing.

Seeing that it was still early, Zhou Shitang walked on horseback at home for an hour, and then went to Su's house with a basket on his back.

This time, Qiao Yunzhi did not go out. She was still at home, making clothes by herself.

Su Huaili was practicing martial arts in the yard when he saw Zhou Shitang coming in and said, "Tang, you can do whatever you want."

Anyway, they are so familiar with each other, so there is nothing to entertain them.

What's more, he still has to practice martial arts and can't waste time.

Zhou Shitang nodded, "Where's Uncle Su? Isn't he at home?"

Su Huaili replied: "He went hunting in the mountains. If he is lucky, he can catch some animals and come back."

He had not forgotten that he still owed Zhou Shitang half a catty of meat, but he had not hunted any animals recently and could not repay the debt.

Qiao Yunzhi heard the voices outside, put down the needle and thread in her hands, walked out and saw Zhou Shitang, she smiled softly and said: "Tangtang is here. I heard that you came to our house several times, but I was not at home at that time and could not see you. you."

Zhou Shitang also smiled, "But fate finally allowed us to meet."

Qiao Yunzhi couldn't help laughing.

She found that this little girl from the Zhou family was very nice to talk to, and she felt good after hearing it.

She glanced at Zhou Shitang's movements. As Su Bo'an's wife, she had seen Su Bo'an practice martial arts, and she had also seen her sons stand on horseback.So she could tell at a glance that Zhou Shitang's horse-stepping movements were very standard.

Qiao Yunzhi did not disturb them, went into the room, picked up her needle and thread and continued making clothes.

Zhou Shitang and Su Huaili didn't speak either.

Zhou Shitang stood facing Su Huaili, looking forward, carefully watching Su Huaili practice martial arts.

Memorizing the moves in her mind first will make it easier for her to practice them later.

Zhou Shitang continued to stand on his horse for two hours, and finally he was so tired that he collapsed on the ground and did not want to move.

Su Huaili also finished practicing martial arts. He looked at Zhou Shitang lying on the ground and reminded him, "You have just finished the horse stance. It is best to move your limbs before going to rest."

Zhou Shitang nodded numbly, "I understand, thank you for reminding me."

Qiao Yunzhi went into the kitchen while they were practicing martial arts, rolling out dumpling wrappers and chopping meat. She went to the vegetable garden to pick up a handful of green onions, mince them, mix them with the pork, and then started making dumplings.

They have lived here for three years, and their lives are relatively comfortable, and they are not so short of food.

The dumpling skin is made of thick flour.

There is also some snake meat and pork at home.

Qiao Yunzhi remembered that her son said that Zhou Shitang didn't eat snake meat, so she used pork as filling for her dumplings.

Soon, the aroma of dumplings wafted out.

Zhou Shitang's nose twitched, "It smells so good."

Su Huaili glanced in the direction of the kitchen and said, "My mother is making lunch. You can stay and eat together."

Zhou Shitang was heartbroken, but she was embarrassed.

She knew that people here had a difficult life, so how could she have the nerve to take advantage of other people's food?

Qiao Yunzhi came out with a large basin of dumplings and took it to the main room. She nodded in agreement with Su Huaili's words, "Tangtang, you saved me yesterday. I'll treat you to a meal. You can't refuse."

Under the warm invitation of mother and son, Zhou Shitang could not resist the temptation of the fragrance and stayed.

Su Bo'an came back just at this time. He smelled the fragrance as soon as he walked into the house and couldn't wait to walk into the main room with a smile on his face. "It seems that I came back at the right time. Thank you for your hard work, madam."

Qiao Yunzhi smiled softly, "If you were a little late, you wouldn't have any dumplings to eat."

This is a square table, with four people sitting on one side.

This meal was dumplings, and Qiao Yunzhi made a lot of them, enough for four people.

Zhou Shitang looked at Su Bo'an quietly, not knowing how to ask Su Bo'an to agree to officially accept her as his disciple.

She hadn't forgotten what her father said last night. If she said it recklessly, she might poke Uncle Su's scar.

Forget it, since Uncle Su didn't say anything about asking her to become a disciple, she still didn't say anything.

Anyway, she just regards him as her master in her heart.

Su Bo'an noticed Zhou Shitang's hesitant look, "Tangtang, if you have anything to say, just say it. No need to think about it."

He likes to be straightforward and doesn't like Zhou Yancheng's behavior.

Zhou Shitang thought for a while and decided to tell the truth, "I want to become your teacher. I wonder if you are willing to accept me as your disciple?"

Whether there is a formal apprenticeship or not, the meaning is different.
