Chapter 29: To Save or Not to Save, Not Saving

"Sixth Brother, Jiuniang."

Third Brother Hua walked into the room and saw his younger brother and sister with their heads together looking at a book, pointing at the content from time to time. He found it strange and walked over to take a look.

Seeing that the two were actually looking at the martial arts technique "Mount Wuzhi," he found it funny.

"Jiuniang, why are you looking at martial arts books again? Do you want to practice martial arts again?"

Hua Changxi was three years old when she realized that martial arts masters from novels really existed in the Great Jin Dynasty. At that time, Sixth Brother Hua had just started practicing stances to build a foundation.

By the time Hua Changxi was five, she pestered Hua Minghe, saying she wanted to practice martial arts. Hua Minghe couldn't help but be pestered by her and took her to practice for half a year.

However, practicing martial arts was too hard. Just practicing stances, she couldn't persist day after day. She practiced intermittently for a period of time, and finally had to give up.

Because of this, Hua Changxi was often ridiculed by Old Madam Hua, saying that she, a young lady, wanted to practice martial arts like a man, which was really overestimating her capabilities.

Hua Changxi looked at Third Brother Hua: "Third Brother, after I went to the Menial Hall, maybe I did too much work, I feel like I have opened up my Ren and Du meridians. I have to pick up martial arts again. Maybe I can become a master in the future."

She didn't know the difference between cultivation and martial arts, but the internal force practiced by martial artists, she felt, should be similar to the spiritual power surging in her body.

Martial artists concentrate internal force on their feet to practice Lingbo Micro-steps. Could she concentrate the spiritual power in her body on her feet?

And this Mount Wuzhi, she would find an opportunity to try it later to see what effect it would have if she concentrated spiritual power on her hands.

Seeing her serious face, Third Brother Hua said hurriedly: "Don't mess around. Practicing martial arts is a dangerous thing. If you don't practice it correctly, it will hurt your body."

Sixth Brother Hua interjected: "Third Brother, I think Jiuniang has ideas about practicing martial arts. Some places I don't understand, she says it, and I understand."

Third Brother Hua was really speechless. Jiuniang and Sixth Brother, one really dared to say, and the other really dared to believe.

"...... Martial artists practicing martial arts incorrectly, leading to physical disability and death, has happened many times."

Hearing this, Sixth Brother Hua also showed fear on his face.

Hua Changxi didn't speak and continued to flip through "Mount Wuzhi" seriously. Who knew, Third Brother Hua snatched the book from her hand.

Third Brother Hua looked at his younger brother and sister: "Second Sister and Second Brother-in-law are sitting in the courtyard, and Cousin Shen and the others are also there. It's not easy for everyone to get together once, so you should go out and chat with them."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi and Sixth Brother Hua looked at each other helplessly and followed Third Brother Hua out of the room.

Hua Wuniang getting married was a big day, but Fifth Sister was going to be a concubine, so the Hua family didn't invite guests, only Hua Sangu Hua's family and Second Sister Hua's couple.

Because Old Master Hua was humiliated by Hua Changxi, his face was ugly. The younger generation couldn't stay in the main hall for long, so they all ran to the courtyard to chat.

Seeing Third Brother Hua calling Hua Jiuniang and Sixth Brother Hua out, Second Sister Hua immediately smiled and waved to Hua Jiuniang: "Jiuniang, we were just talking about you. Come over and chat with us."

Second Sister Hua, the eldest granddaughter of the Hua family, married a year ago into the Cao family, which was also a low-level official family. Second Brother-in-law Cao Jingnian was a patrol constable of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.

Hua Changxi walked over with a smile: "What were you all saying about me?"

Twelfth Sister Hua glanced at her: "Saying you are bold and reckless."

Hua Changxi rolled her eyes at her: "Those who think I am bold and reckless are all timid as mice."

Twelfth Sister Hua immediately exploded: "Who are you calling timid as mice?"

Hua Changxi smiled: "Whoever admits it, I am talking about."

Second Sister Hua looked at the Ninth Sister and Twelfth Sister who fought as soon as they met, and laughed. She pulled one sister with one hand. After getting married, she realized how comfortable it was to bicker with her sisters in the boudoir.

"You two, cherish each other. When you get married in the future, you won't have a chance to bicker anymore."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi and Twelfth Sister Hua closed their mouths at the same time.

Hua Changxi glanced at Second Brother-in-law Cao, who was talking enthusiastically with Third Brother Hua and others, and asked in a low voice: "Second Sister, is Second Brother-in-law good to you? Are your husband's family easy to get along with?"

Second Sister Hua smiled at her husband and nodded: "Your Second Brother-in-law is still quite caring. As for my husband's family, we are all just living together. Others can live, so can I."

Hua Changxi was silent for a moment. This meant her husband's family was not easy to get along with.

Second Sister Hua smiled and took off the purse from her waist, took out three pairs of silver earrings, and handed them to Seventh Sister Hua, Hua Changxi, and Twelfth Sister Hua respectively.

"You are not young anymore, it's time to pierce your ears."

The three of them, including Hua Changxi, who got the earrings, were very happy: "Thank you, Second Sister."

"Sixth Brother, come on!"

"Third Brother, come on!"

The Hua sisters turned their heads and saw Sixth Brother Hua and Hua Sangu Hua's third son, Shen Mosheng, sparring with each other, while others were cheering on the side.

"Let's go over and see."

After Hua Changxi walked closer, she looked carefully at the two people fighting and was surprised to find that their movements were extremely slow in her eyes.

If their battle was filmed as a video, the video she saw would be at 0.25 speed.

With the improvement of realm points, she did feel that her five senses were strengthening, but she had no intuitive concept of how much they were strengthened.

But now, she knew.

"Sixth Brother, why are you waving your palm? Just use five fingers to form a claw and hook Cousin Mosheng's shoulder."

Hua Changxi pointed out the flaws in their sparring directly.

Sixth Brother Hua heard Hua Changxi's voice and did it subconsciously. Then he really hooked Shen Mosheng's shoulders, followed by a side kick, and knocked him to the ground directly.

"I won!"

Sixth Brother Hua cheered happily and looked at Hua Changxi excitedly: "Jiuniang, your eyesight is good. I didn't even find that I could hook Mosheng's shoulder."

Hua Changxi smiled and didn't say anything. She wanted to learn "Mount Wuzhi" and "Lingbo Micro-steps" and planned to copy both books and take them back to the Menial Hall to study slowly.

Seeing Second Sister Hua accompanied by Seventh Sister Hua and Twelfth Sister Hua, and Cousin Shen and others accompanied by Third Brother Hua and others, she slipped back to her room to copy books secretly.

Hua Sangu Hua's family and Second Sister Hua's couple all had to go home, so dinner was half an hour earlier.

After dinner, Hua Changxi took the copied "Mount Wuzhi" and "Lingbo Micro-steps," as well as a bag of food prepared by Yao Shi, and left the Hua family after Hua Sangu Hua's family and Second Sister Hua's couple left.

Sixth Brother Hua sent Hua Changxi to the Medical Department all the way.

"......"

"I'll watch you go in before I leave."

Hua Changxi looked at the gate of the Medical Department helplessly: "Menial servants can't go through the front gate. I have to take a detour to the back gate."

Sixth Brother Hua: "Then I'll accompany you to the back gate." As he said, he walked in front without saying a word.

Seeing that it was already dark, Hua Changxi didn't want to waste time arguing, so she had to follow quickly.

However, just as the two turned off the main street and entered the back street, Hua Changxi suddenly grabbed Sixth Brother Hua and quickly hid behind the shade of a tree by the road.

"Jiuniang, what's wrong?"

"Shh, someone is fighting."

Soon, four people appeared in their sight.

One person was running with a limp in front, and the other three were chasing closely behind.

Looking at the person in front, Hua Changxi stood up subconsciously, and her steps had already taken a step, but the next moment she stopped her feet and squatted back behind the shade of the tree.

Sixth Brother Hua saw this and asked in a low voice: "Why, do you know that person?"

Hua Changxi looked at Yu Gui, who was running hard to the back gate, and nodded: "Well, I know him. That person is a small steward in the warehouse."

At this time, Yu Gui was caught up by the people behind, kicked three or four meters away by someone, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Run, aren't you very good at running? Run for me again!"

"Beat him, beat him hard!"

Sixth Brother Hua looked at Yu Gui, who was curled up into a ball from being punched and kicked by three people, and couldn't help but look at his sister: "Since you know him, should we go and help him? I feel like I can beat those three."

Hua Changxi shook her head and said almost coldly: "The friendship between him and me is not enough for me to risk saving him."

Not to mention that the three people chasing and beating Yu Gui were all martial artists, even if they were just ordinary people, as long as they didn't kill anyone, she would inevitably offend them because of saving Yu Gui.

She didn't know the origin or background of those three people, so the risk was too great.

"This is the back street of the Medical Department. Those three people don't dare to kill anyone here."

Sure enough, as Hua Changxi expected, the three people beat Yu Gui for more than a quarter of an hour before leaving while cursing.

And Yu Gui had already passed out, and only the rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.

Hua Changxi and Sixth Brother Hua got up and walked over.

Hua Changxi: "Sixth Brother, help me lift him up, I'll carry him into the Medical Department."

Not showing up just now was for fear of trouble. Now that the people who beat him had left, carrying Yu Gui back to the warehouse was fine.

Sixth Brother Hua quickly stepped forward to help. When supporting Yu Gui, he found that the clothes on his back were torn, and then he noticed a red palm print on his back.

Seeing the red palm print, Hua......

Only martial artists above the fourth grade can practice internal force.

Only by using internal force can such a clear palm print be left on a person.

Hua Changxi looked at the palm print on Yu Gui's back, didn't say anything, bent down to carry him: "Sixth Brother, I'm going in. You go back quickly, don't linger outside."

After seeing Hua Changxi carry someone into the Medical Department, Sixth Brother Hua turned and went home. ===== CHAPTER 30 =====
