Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 5, Growth of the Village
As time went by, Wang Li was already five years old and his height had reached 1.2 meters, which was the height of an or -year-old child at that time.

As for his rapid growth in height, his parents and neighbors all believed that it was because Wang Li's father was good at hunting and he ate a lot of meat.

But only he himself knew: most of the reason was the impact of time travel, and the other small half was the impact of eating and drinking.

As Wang Li grew older, his family could no longer restrict his activities, and he would often run around outside all day.

In the past few years, Wang Li has gradually adapted to his identity as a child. Although he still has vivid memories of what happened before the time travel, his life as a child has gradually changed after several years. The most obvious change is that he has become the king of children in the village.

Because Wang Li was tall, strong and mature, he was a good fighter in the village. Even the children who were much older than him did not dare to compete with him.

One day, he came back from running outside and saw his father and mother talking in the house. He vaguely heard that the topic was about him.

After his parents saw him come back, his father took the initiative to say: Xiaoli, normally I should tell you these things a few years later, but you are very mature mentally and strong physically, so after discussing with your mother, I will tell you now.

In fact, the main reason is that his parents saw him running around outside for no reason and had nothing to do, and they were afraid that he would get into trouble. It was also because it was 1945, the critical moment of the war between Longguo and Xiaobenzi, and the outside world was in chaos, so they hoped that he would have some self-protection ability.

Son, do you know why your father is so good at hunting? I am 35 years old now, and I am still as strong as a young man. I can still stay in the mountains for half a month and hunt bears, tigers, and cheetahs. Do you want to know the reason?
Later, his father told him a story that surprised and delighted him.

It turns out that Wang Li's great grandfather was a personal guard of Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which took place from 1851 to 1864. After the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, his great grandfather was seriously injured and fled to Wangjia Village with some of Hong Xiuquan's personal belongings. He was rescued by the daughter of the village chief at the time, and from then on he lived in anonymity. Out of gratitude, he married the village chief's daughter, and his bloodline continues to this day.

Due to the special circumstances at that time, my great grandfather only got some kung fu secrets and a small amount of money. Because he was not well educated and his martial arts were good enough, he did not learn the secrets from the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In the end, he only passed down the Bajiquan kung fu he knew.

My child, maybe you haven't noticed that Dad comes home very early every day. In fact, Dad goes to the back mountain to practice the Bajiquan passed down by our family, so my physical fitness has always been very good. Now Dad asks you: Do you want to learn Bajiquan?
Wang Li was excited when he heard the news and immediately nodded and agreed to learn Bajiquan.

Seeing that he agreed, his father smiled with satisfaction and told him that there were two requirements for learning Bajiquan:

The first is not to teach my Bajiquan to others easily, and not to show off my Bajiquan if it is not necessary. The second is to get up at four o'clock every day and go to the back mountain with my father to practice Bajiquan.

By the way, his father also gave Wang Li several secret books that his great-grandfather had obtained from Hong Xiuquan, and told him that he could study on his own when he learned to read.

From that day on, Wang Li learned the Eight-Level Boxing from his father every day, standing still for an hour and practicing routines for the rest of the time.

He also secretly read and studied the secret books his father gave him when his parents were not at home, and he learned through studying.

His father gave him four secret books, one for sword skills, one for leg skills, and one for body skills. The last one was the most precious one, and its name was also very powerful, called the Golden Body Sutra.

When his parents were not around, Wang Li would occasionally practice the first three secret books, and compare them with Bajiquan, with very ideal results.

He also asked his father about the problems he encountered when he was learning the essence of Bajiquan. His father did not doubt him, but thought that this child was very talented. This made his father more confident in his martial arts training and taught him more seriously.
