Butcher Hu said: "I don't have a boy in my family yet! Wuqi, come here and pay homage to Lu Zhangdao."

The person who came was none other than Lu Butcher, also known as Lu Shoudao, one of the four bosses in Shiniu Town.

Li Wuqi held up his sword and saluted: "Junior Li Wuqi is a young apprentice at Hu Ji's butcher shop. He has seen Lu Zhang Dao."

Lu Zhangdao nodded slightly: "How long have you been studying?"

"It's been a few days."

"How many days have it been?" Lu Zhangdao was slightly surprised, "Ordinary pig butchers can't practice such skills in ten years."

Li Wuqi said: "Xie Lu praised me for holding the sword."

Lu Zhangdao thought for a moment and then asked: "You are at Hu Ji's Butcher Shop, how much does Lao Hu pay you a day?"

Butcher Hu's expression suddenly changed: "Lu Zhangdao, I don't want to ask this question!"

Lu Zhangdao snorted coldly: "I'm just asking, what are you in a hurry for?"

Li Wuqi said truthfully: "I don't want wages."

"You don't want wages?" Lu Zhangdao said thoughtfully, "How about coming to the Shiniu Slaughterhouse and getting one tael of silver a day?"

Butcher Hu was anxious: "Do whatever you want! You won't betray anyone anymore!"

Li Wuqi looked at Butcher Hu and asked tentatively: "You also have one tael of silver a day?"

Butcher Hu pursed his lips and said with great grievance: "Shit! I can't afford it anyway, you have no conscience. If you want to go, just go!"

Li Wuqi faced Lu Zhangdao and nodded: "Okay, I'll do it."

Butcher Hu: "???Why don't you hesitate for a moment? Even if it's just a pretense!"

Lu Zhangdao: "Do you have any other requests?"

Li Wuqi frowned and said thoughtfully: "I live in Niniu Town, and I have to go back and forth twenty miles every day, which is a bit inconvenient..."

"I can find you a place to stay in Stone Cow Town."

"Ah? I'm afraid the house in Shiniu Town is not cheap, I'm afraid I can't afford it..."

"I will bear the rent. Not only that, but also all your future expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation will be covered by me."

"Okay! Last question, I'm actually not young anymore. It's time to find an ordinary girl who is young, beautiful, hot, gentle, and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting to start a family..."

"Go away! I'm still single!" Lu Zhangdao's face darkened, "It's just a joke, there is no such thing as a free lunch, you have to understand this."

Li Wuqi nodded: "What are the conditions of the Shiniu Slaughterhouse?"

"Sign a ten-year contract."

"Ten years? That doesn't mean selling yourself out...can I redeem myself in the future?"

"You are very expensive, at least a thousand taels of gold."

"make a deal."

Butcher Hu was startled, pulled Li Wuqi to his side, and scolded in a low voice: "How dare you agree to this, ten years! You will have to rely on this for the rest of your life!"

Li Wuqi didn't take it seriously: "Isn't it possible to redeem yourself?"

"That's one thousand taels of gold! It's not copper plates, and it's not silver! Do you know what that is? One hundred copper plates is one tael of silver, and one hundred taels of silver is one tael of gold! That's ten million copper plates.

! How much money is a pig worth? Even if you kill all the pigs in Shiniu Town, you won’t be able to make so much money!"

Li Wuqi smiled stupidly: "Brother, you are quite good at arithmetic. I almost failed."

Butcher Hu secretly glanced at Lu Zhang's knife and cursed: "You're crazy! You can't make this money! Come back with me, the worst is, I'll give you an extra pound of meat every day."

Li Wuqi felt warm in his heart, reached out and patted Butcher Hu on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Naturally, he agreed to come here not for money.

"One Knife Killing Technique" requires killing pigs to accumulate proficiency, and only here are there enough pigs for him to kill.

On the way back to Niniu Town, Butcher Hu kept sighing: "The baby comes and goes so fast, it's like a dream..."

Li Wuqi said: "Thank you, brother, for taking care of Wuqi during this time. Wuqi will keep it in mind."

The bullock cart drove slowly towards Hu Ji's Butcher Shop in Niniu Town. Li Wuqi saw three figures standing there from a distance.

It was Zhou Jinzhu and others.

When they met, Zhou Jinzhu was the first to speak: "Little friend, we meet again."

Butcher Hu had never seen the famous Master Zhou in person, so he asked curiously: "Wuqi, who is this?"

Li Wuqi introduced: "This is Master Zhou of Changning County Yamen. Master, this is the butcher shop owner."

Zhou Jinzhu nodded slightly and said, "Shopkeeper Hu."

Butcher Hu was flattered and hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Master Zhou is here! Well, I didn't prepare anything, but the meat is all fresh. I'll cut two kilograms of the freshly killed pig for Master..."

Zhou Jinzhu smiled and said, "Don't bother me. Zhou came here mainly to have a few words with little friend Wuqi."

Butcher Hu said, "Then I won't bother you. Master, please excuse me."

A group of four people came to the small town teahouse and ordered two pots of tea and several plates of snacks.

While the waiter was pouring tea, Da Zhuang asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you have salty tea here?"

The waiter looked confused: "What kind of tea?"

Erzhuang also came over: "It's salty tea, the kind that can aphrodisiac when you drink it! The effect is really good!"

"Salty tea? I've never heard of it..." The waiter shook his head and lowered his voice, "But I have a folk recipe called 'Wanbian Soup', and it's very effective..."

"Ahem!" Master Zhou cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Big and strong, please pay attention to your words and deeds."

"Yes!" Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang hurriedly sat back down, but still communicated with the waiter several times with strange eyes.

"Have you changed your mind, little friend?" Zhou Jinzhu took a sip of tea and said straight to the point, "As long as little friend agrees, I can accept any conditions."

Li Wuqi said: "Master, don't bother, I have already said that studying is not my way."

Zhou Jinzhu let out a long sigh, and then heard Li Wuqi say: "However, I have been thinking hard at home these past few days, and finally remembered a few more lines from "The Wine Will Come in"."

Zhou Jinzhu’s eyes lit up again: “But the whole story?”

"no."

"It doesn't matter, can you ask me to recite it?"

"Before that." Li Wuqi looked at Da Zhuang, "I have something to ask Brother Da Zhuang."

Da Zhuang was stunned: "Me?"

Zhou Jinzhu said cheerfully: "It's okay. Da Zhuang, you can go ahead. Whatever Wu Qi asks, you can answer whatever you want. Don't hold anything back."

"yes."

The two came to a quiet place outside the teahouse. Li Wuqi bowed and said respectfully: "Brother Da Zhuang, I want to ask you for advice on physical training."

Da Zhuang said: "Brother Wu Qi, if you really want to learn martial arts, why not just listen to the master and go to Changning County with us..."

Li Wuqi smiled and said nothing.

Da Zhuang knew that he had made up his mind, so he sighed and said seriously: "There are cross techniques for body training, Qi, walking, running, leaping, and lying down; feeling, tenacity, bathing, eating, and sleeping!"

Qi is the art of breathing and exhaling, nourishing the inner body with spiritual energy, which is the foundation of health care.

Walking, running, leaping, and lying down are the four basic physical skills, which have the effect of correcting posture and exercising physical strength.

Sense of sight, which requires the senses such as vision, hearing, smell, and sensation to remain sharp.

Toughness, the muscles and veins are pliable, and the body can be flexible.

When bathing, no matter how cold it is or how hot it is, always take a bath with cold water.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about food and sleep. Physical training is a dual consumption of the body and spirit. You must have rich food and sufficient sleep to ensure the effect of physical training.

Da Zhuang spent half an hour explaining the meaning of the Cross Jue one by one, and even went into battle in person to demonstrate the standard movements.

Li Wuqi took note of everything carefully.

When he was done, he handed Da Zhuang a piece of paper and said, "Here is what Master wants. Brother Da Zhuang, thank you very much."

Da Zhuang reminded again: "Brother, martial arts is not easy to follow. How far you can go depends entirely on your personal will. This body refining cross technique is just the foundation of the foundation of martial arts. If you have a chance, go to Changning County Yamen to find me.

There is a better way for you."

Li Wuqi saluted and said, "Thank you very much."
