Chapter 162 Senior Brothers and Sisters
As for Qin Lang's big wild boar, he vomited it out when he took the first bite of the barbecue last night.
The women who were warming themselves by the fire felt very distressed when they saw this. Although the meat was a bit fishy, it was still meat after all. It would be a waste to spit it out!
After consulting him, Lu Qingqing directly gave the half of the wild boar meat that belonged to Qin Lang to the villagers.
As for the dried wild boar meat that was roasted yesterday, Lu Qingqing only left a small portion outside and put the rest into the space.
After everyone had breakfast, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang took their gifts to pay their respects to the master.
Lu Qingqing attached great importance to this apprenticeship and prepared two large bags of gifts.
Seeing this, Master Yan became angry and wanted them to take it back.
But since Lu Qingqing is ready to come out, she must be sent out.
She asked Yao Bowu last night and found out that the cost of learning martial arts in ancient times was quite high.
Yao Bowu's previous disciple, Master Wu, received an annual salary of 180 taels of silver.
In addition, there are monthly food expenses, gifts for festivals, etc.
After Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang put their things down, they knelt down and saluted Master Yan.
After two crisp calls of "Master", Master Yan's frown relaxed.
At this moment, everyone in the village was watching the two becoming apprentices.
Although some people did not understand why Master Yan accepted a woman as his apprentice, they did not say anything because Lu Qingqing had helped them.
Lu Shufu stood next to his father, watching the two men become apprentices, his eyes full of envy.
But his family had been robbed before, so he probably couldn't afford the money to let him learn martial arts.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Master Yan stopped refusing and planned to accept the things first and compensate the two children later.
At this moment, the other disciples of the martial arts circle were also watching. After seeing the two of them complete the ceremony of becoming apprentices, they all stepped forward to greet them with a smile.
Among all the apprentices brought up by Master Yan, Li Rui had always been the youngest.
At this moment, seeing that the master had accepted new junior brothers and sisters, he kept coaxing them to call him senior brother.
Master Yan smiled as he watched his disciples laughing and making noise, and after a while he called on everyone to go and practice martial arts.
There was a relatively flat area outside the cave, so the other people started practicing right away.
Master Yan taught the two of them step by step. They both learned very quickly, and Master Yan became more and more satisfied as he taught them.
Lu Shufu sat in the cave and watched them practicing martial arts with envy. The village chief saw that he was looking over there and sighed secretly.
My son had been studying in a private school before, and my eldest cousin had taken the exam before. It was said that if Shufu studied hard, he would have a chance to pass the imperial examination in the future.
But he also noticed the changes in his son these days.
In the past, this child always carried books with him wherever he went, but these days he hasn't even opened the book.
This kid probably wants to learn martial arts!
The village chief also had some guesses about his son's changes.
The village chief thought for a while and finally called Lu Shufu out, intending to have a good talk with him.
In the cave, Madam Yan was sorting out the apprenticeship gifts brought by Lu Qingqing and the others.
I saw a string of agate beads inside, which looked of excellent quality. This thing must be quite valuable.
Mrs. Yan quickly looked through the items inside and felt that the gift was too expensive, so she hurried outside to call Master Yan.
Master Yan asked them to practice on their own, and then followed Madam Yan back to the cave.
When he saw the things in the bag, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect the two children to take out so many things.
Master Yan has almost understood the two children's life stories these days.
Master Yan looked at Madam Yan, and Madam Yan nodded at him.
The two of them only picked out a few things from the bag and packed the rest, planning to return them to Lu Qingqing and the others later.
In fact, when the martial arts industry accepted apprentices in the past, the tuition fees they charged were quite high.
But if you want to accept an apprentice, it’s different. You only need to prepare the basic apprenticeship gifts.
Moreover, the situation now is different from before. A handful of food can save your life while fleeing famine.
Master Yan prepared the rest of the things and left the cave to continue teaching the two.
He planned to send this thing back when there were fewer people around, as it would be too conspicuous to send it now.
Lu Qingqing didn't know what was going on inside. She was practicing hard to catch up with Qin Lang's progress.
Qin Lang learned it the first time Master Yan demonstrated it to the two of them, and he performed the moves quite well when he practiced them.
Lu Qingqing had never practiced sword fighting before, so she found it a bit difficult to learn.
Master Yan came out and watched the two people's moves, nodding with satisfaction.
Although Qin Lang is a bit naive, he has a very high understanding of martial arts and can learn any moves as soon as he is taught.
Although Daya learns a little slower than Qin Lang, her comprehension is still higher than that of the others.
Moreover, this child is more talented in archery.
Master Yan thought that after he had taught Lu Qingqing the basics of Liuhe Sword, he would give her individual instruction in archery.
While everyone was practicing, the village chief came back with Lu Shufu.
As we approached, the village chief called out to Master Yan:
"Master Yan, could you please excuse me for a moment?"
Master Yan was a little confused and followed the village chief and his son to the side.
The village chief clasped his fists towards Master Yan and said:
"Master Yan, my son wants to learn martial arts from you. I wonder if you can accept him?"
After listening to this, Master Yan did not rush to answer, but looked at Lu Shufu.
The child is a little thin and not as good as Qin Lang, but his physical condition is not bad either.
When the martial arts industry was recruiting apprentices before, they also accepted those with similar conditions to Lu Shufu.
If you work harder, you can learn almost as much, but if you want to go further, it will be difficult!
Seeing that Master Yan hadn't spoken for a long time, Lu Shufu said anxiously:
"Master Yan, please accept me. I really want to learn martial arts!"
The village chief was also anxious and explained to his son:
"This child used to be studying, but when we were fleeing the famine, our family almost died at the hands of refugees. That's when he started thinking about learning martial arts to protect his family!"
When Master Yan heard this, he looked at Lu Shufu again.
Although the child is weak, his eyes are firm.
Having fled famine for so long, Master Yan knows well how difficult it is.
This child has a strong desire to protect his family and has a good character.
Thinking of this, Master Yan nodded in agreement.
When Lu Shufu saw him nod, the nervous expression on his face disappeared and he pursed his lips happily.
The village chief was also very happy and discussed with Master Yan the time of becoming his apprentice and the tuition fee.
Master Yan had been fleeing famine with the Lujia Village team for so long, and they had a life-or-death friendship, so naturally he was unwilling to accept more.
But when the village chief saw Lu Qingqing and the other person becoming apprentices in the morning, he thought it was just Master Yan being polite and went home to prepare his tuition.
Before noon, the village chief came with Lu Shufu, carrying a big bag, to become his disciple.
When Master Yan saw that he also carried a big bag, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hands repeatedly to refuse, but the village chief forced him to stay.
Lu Shufu solemnly performed the ceremony of becoming Master Yan's apprentice and became Master Yan's youngest apprentice.
Just like that, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang only served as junior brothers and sisters for less than a morning, and then they became senior brothers and sisters again!
