C5 Initial arrival at huainan

When he first arrived in Huainan, Li Ke followed his family to the dock and landed. His father Li Bai hired a cart and loaded it with all his belongings. The family stayed at a cheap inn just outside the dock.

Grandfather Li Chen called in a waiter and asked someone to come with him. He discussed renting a single house in the town.

Li Ke listened from the side and finally understood that the pier was only one of the many in Huainan along the river called the mouth of the river. A wharf as large as the mouth of a river, there are twelve wharves along the river in Huainan, known as twelve. Is Huainan River transport, business with the external world of important distribution.

The river mouth is mainly for food and money.

Huizhou internal grain grains, through the Huai River south of Huizhou transport out of Huizhou.

Li Bai went out and found a bookkeeping job at a rice shop. There weren't many people who could read and write these days. As long as they could read and calculate, it would be easy to find a job.

With a livelihood and a guarantee letter from the owner, the Li family quickly rented a courtyard for themselves.

On the day of the move, the sun was scorching hot, as if it was about to roast the people on the street. Li Ke was in an extremely good mood. It was also the seventh month, and he felt that his cultivation had greatly increased again. With his own family, he could once again concentrate on training. The innkeeper's youngest son went out to see him off. Li Ke came over often to play and even touched a few drops of tears.

After waving goodbye, he turned to his mother, Liu Yan, and said, "It's not that he can't bear to part with me, it's just that he can't bear to part with my family's little leopard. The shop owner has asked me several times if I want to buy a little leopard, wanting to take three silver melon seeds is like cheating a little leopard.

Liu Yan smiled and asked, "How much money do you need before you are willing to give Little Leopard to the store owner."

"I won't sell it for any amount of money."

Li Ke hugged the small leopard that was lying on the car, causing the small leopard to "Ao ao" sound of wailing. The day was too hot, and the furry little leopard was even more unable to endure the heat. Even if it was being intimate with Li Ke, it wouldn't be so close to being hugged.

Liu Yan lovingly stroked Li Ke's head and once again scratched the neck of the little leopard before it finally quieted down.

The Li family had just left Rivermouth Town when six galloping horses came. The leader was a five-year-old girl riding a young pony. Beside her were five guards wearing leather armor and carrying swords and sabers. "It must be the young lady from that house who came out to play. She must be the kind of spoiled girl who doesn't have the temperament of a lady. She's as mischievous as a fully grown boy.

When the little girl saw the little leopard in Li Ke's embrace, her watery eyes immediately widened. She pointed at the little leopard and asked the guard beside her, "What is that? Interesting, I'll take it. "

A guard replied, "It's a leopard."

"I'll take it."

The little girl said again. Her watery eyes were filled with stars, and her face was full of desire.

The guard felt a little awkward. Leopard were not domestic cats. They could be raised immediately after being caught. A jackal, tiger, leopard, or other fierce beast needed to be raised from a young age. Although this small leopard was not big, it had passed the best opportunity. It was not difficult to force her to buy it, but it would be troublesome if he injured her. Thus, he advised her: "Miss, Master will not let you raise him."

"Why?"

Seeing that the Li family was about to leave, she called for the guards to stop the Li family members.

Li Chen accompanied with a smile and asked what was the matter.

The little girl said loudly, "About that, I want it."

Li Ke rolled his eyes and put the little leopard down. "If you can get the little leopard to follow you, there's no harm in giving it to you."

"Alright!"

The little girl jumped down from her horse. Her movements were very agile; she actually had the agility of a Third Martial Stage practitioner.

Li Chen and Li Bai looked at each other in shock. It was no wonder why a young lady, despite being treated like a boy, dared to play around with her five guards. Such talent at such an age would be treated as a treasure even in that family. When all was said and done, it all depended on one's strength. Large clans had one or two experts guarding them, otherwise, they would have been exterminated long ago.

The little leopard let out a few cries, what did Li Ke do to the little leopard? The little leopard turned around and ran, its speed was not fast at all.

Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't chase up and loudly shouted, "Quickly help me catch it."

The guards looked at each other, then the three of them followed the little girl down, leaving the other two to look after the horses.

Li Chen took a silver ingot and quietly handed it to a guard, saying: "My surname is Li, I just moved to Rivermouth Town, and rented a house in front. Today, I only need to bring my whole family over, I hope the two sirs can help me."

The guard accepted the silver and waved his hand to signal for them to leave. He didn't want to make things difficult for the Li Clan.

After Li Chen expressed his thanks, he left with his family.

After walking a bit further, Li Ke asked, "Grandfather, why are you giving them silver?" They can't beat us. "

Li Chen said, "Ke'er, you should know that many things can't be resolved by relying on force. Sometimes, it's better not to do anything."

Li Bai and Liu Yan did not interrupt.

In this world, a fist was the only way. The reason why Li Chen said it was best not to use force to solve the problem was because the Li family was single and did not have the ability to fight against the local wealthy families. Using force now would only bring about a huge disaster, and would not solve the problem at all.

Li Ke was still young, so he couldn't allow his children to break the military ban and cause trouble.

Li Ke half understood his words and agreed. He felt that it was reasonable, but he also found it strange. When he thought about how his grandfather, who was clearly a peak rank 9 martial artist, had once served as a clerk in a small town and never displayed his skills in front of outsiders, his father, Li Bai, was also a very low-key person. "I feel like I understand, but I also feel like I don't quite understand.

Liu Yan held onto Li Ke's small head and said to Li Chen, "Father, I think it's about time I send Ke'er to study. Martial arts alone is not a big deal."

Li Chen nodded in agreement.

The Li family was a happy family.

During dinner time, Little Leopard found himself some organs and hid under Li Ke's bed, refusing to come out no matter what. He looked extremely tired, and even after Li Ke took some organs, he refused to take a bite.

It looked like he had been tortured very miserably.

At this moment, in a mountain not far from the river mouth, a little girl was shouting towards the forest, "I have some delicious food here, hurry up and come out, I'll give you all the delicious food."

A dozen or so guards surrounded the little girl. Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, they tried to persuade her a few times, but the little girl refused to return home.

"I must catch it."

Unable to catch the little leopard, not only did the little girl not become depressed, she even became full of fighting spirit.

It had already been two months since the Li Family arrived at Huai Nan. In the past seven years, Li Ke's strength had broken through again, becoming a fourth level martial artist. It was also his seventh birthday. Under Li Chen's arrangement, Li Ke entered a school in River Mouth Town. Every morning, he would follow his father Li Bai to River Mouth Town to study. In the afternoon, his grandfather, Li Chen, would return home to practice martial arts.

Li Bai's work at the rice shop in Estuary Town was quite smooth and his hands were clean. He was highly valued by his boss. He was promoted to a steward in a short period of time and managed seven or eight workers. His salary also increased by three levels.

Li Chen and the others changed the front door of the small courtyard into a small room of about four or five square meters. Every morning, he would train in the nearby mountains to gather medicinal herbs. At noon, he would pick up Li Ke from the school at the mouth of the river and practice medicine at home in the afternoon, taking care of Li Ke to practice martial arts in the courtyard. Because it had just been put up, Li Chen's name was not well-known yet, and the person who came to seek treatment was not right, so he was very free.

His mother, Liu Yan, was in charge of household chores. Occasionally, she would take in some needlework and subsidize some household chores.

In the eyes of the villagers nearby, the Li family was an outsider who had their own affairs. Li Bai had the ability to be a manager in the rice business at the mouth of the river, that was for the most part.

As for the medical skills of Old Master Li Chen, the villagers did not dare to accept it.

In two months time, the Li family had assimilated into the little village.

That afternoon, Li Ke was practicing his martial arts under the shade of a tree in the courtyard. His martial arts was a set of < Eighteen Fists >, which was a popular martial arts technique in the world. At first, Li Ke did not understand. The techniques of the Three Styles were too simple, it was hard to imagine what kind of destructive power it would have; moreover, compared to physical training, it was much weaker.

Ask your grandfather.

Li Chen said, "Your body is still growing. If you have too strong of a body, you won't be able to grow at all, and it will have a great impact on your future cultivation. Also, if your moves are too complex, it will be too gaudy and unintentional.

Li Ke believed that his grandfather wouldn't lie to him, so he naturally focused on his training and didn't dare slack in the slightest.

In the blink of an eye, a few months passed. Huai Nan welcomed his first snowfall, and blood blossomed into the air. Li Ke, who was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, heard the cheers of the children in the village outside the courtyard.

"It's snowing! It's snowing! "

That feeling of joy and enthusiasm had also infected Li Ke. After practicing the Three Styles, he stepped forward and punched a bloody flower in front of him, just like the man from a few months ago who used the Rushing Thunder Fist.

His fist brought along the sound of wind as it struck the flower of blood, causing his fist to feel a slight chill in the air.

A refreshing feeling spread out along his fist, causing Li Ke to feel extremely comfortable. He took a deep breath of the cool air, opened his hand, and received a few more splashes of blood.

Little Leopard ran out of the house and circled around Li Ke. He also felt that the snow was very strange.

A splash of blood landed on Li Ke's face. Suddenly, an image flashed before Li Ke's eyes. It was the picture of a crouching tiger that he had seen in the cave a few months ago. Li Ke was unbearably hot. He took off his robe and wore only a thin waistcoat as he stood in the snow.

"Ke Er, quickly put on your clothes. Don't be cold."

When Liu Yan saw Li Ke's appearance, he hurriedly came out of his room. His hand was covered with a lot of white powder; he was preparing a bowl of noodles for dinner.

Li Chen, who was sitting in the front hall, had nothing to do today. When he heard his daughter-in-law's voice, he went to the courtyard to take a look. When he saw this, he was overjoyed and told Liu Yan to not disturb Li Ke. He turned around, closed the shop, and closed the door.

"Father, what is this?" Seeing Li Chen's happy expression, Liu Yan did not need to worry about Li Ke's safety.

With Li Chen by his side, he believed that Li Ke would be fine.

Li Chen said, "Ke Er is indeed a genius, to be able to produce inner strength in such a short amount of time." "As expected, after today, Ke is also a level five martial artist."

"Really?" Liu Yan was delighted as well.

Li Chen sighed and said, "A Level 5 Warrior at the age of seven. I never thought that my Li Family would produce a martial arts genius."

Li Ke stood in the snow. His entire body was burning. Every snowflake that landed on his body made him feel incomparably cool and comfortable. It was as if he had been reborn from the flames.

Li Chen had been observing Li Ke's changes the entire time, reminding him, "Show me the < Three Forms > once."

Li Ke obeyed and began practicing the Three Styles in the snow.

Gradually, Li Ke felt the heat around his body lessen. With every punch, the strength of his muscles and muscles would increase a bit. Although it wasn't obvious, it was actually increasing.

When Li Ke practiced to the ninth time, the Hidden Tiger Painting appeared before his eyes again. This time, he did not feel a headache, and the picture seemed to have followed him to practice the Three Styles. Every move was very realistic, but there was always a feeling of wanting more.

Could it be that the Three Styles did not originate from the Eighteen Fists, but rather from the Tiger Subduing Diagram?

Li Ke felt that he had seen through something, but he couldn't say what.

Huai Nan fell into a heavy snowstorm overnight and Li Ke became a martial practitioner of the fifth level at the age of seven.
