As a daughter, I travel in the world of Gulong

Chapter 20 020: Practicing martial arts in seclusion

The Qingyi River is gurgling.

The two women lay on the rocks with their feet in the river, thinking silently.

Feeling a little hungry, Jiang Yuyan took out some food from the package next to her, stuffed a piece into Gu Changsheng's mouth, and ate a piece herself, chewing slowly with squinted eyes.

The days when she came to the Qingyi River were the most relaxing and enjoyable days for her in the past few months.

Every day they studied the essentials of martial arts and practiced basic exercises. Apart from that, they just played around with Gu Changsheng. The two of them made fires to cook, fetched water and washed clothes. They were self-sufficient in everything and lived a life of peace with the world. life.No one in this world has anything to do with them, and they will not think about any other irrelevant people or things.

Compared with today's days, the hardships I endured along the way to Shu are nothing.

It would be great if life could continue like this.

Jiang Yuyan fed Gu Changsheng a mouthful of food from time to time, and the two of them gradually recovered some strength.

Gu Changsheng stood up from the stone and said, "It's time to practice."

Jiang Yuyan groaned and stretched out her hands, feeling the soreness on her body, but she had no intention of lying down anymore. Gu Changsheng took hold of her hand and pulled her up. Then she put on her shoes and socks and got ready to practice.

The two of them certainly have a fierce spirit.

Gu Changsheng didn't dare to relax for a moment because he knew how sinister and dangerous this world was.

However, Jiang Yuyan also suffered hardships, experienced hardships, and was sold to a brothel. She swore long before she obtained the Five Ultimate Skills that as long as there was a chance, she would never be like a wild dog on the roadside and let anyone You can come over and give me a kick.

Enduring the soreness in her body, she picked up her long and narrow sword and practiced the eight starting postures from foot stance to sword moves with great care, and she started practicing boringly.

When it comes to talent, Gu Changsheng doesn't know how talented the two are. He only thinks that the two learn at about the same speed, but she is more experienced and knowledgeable than Jiang Yuyan, and she can comprehend some things faster.

But because there is no other control group, I don't know whether their talents are better or average compared to others, so they just practice hard.

The autumn wind is blowing thousands of miles, and the sunset is high with yellow clouds.

By the time the sun was setting, the movements of the two people beside the river had become sluggish. It was very difficult for Jiang Yuyan to even lift the sword in her hand, and her arm no longer felt like her own.

After looking at Gu Changsheng, he saw that although his movements were a little slow, his moves were still standard, and Gu Changsheng's sword was still a bit heavier, so he immediately gritted his teeth and decided to continue.

Gu Changsheng was distractedly paying attention to her. Seeing this situation, he put his sword back into its sheath and said, "Okay, I lasted half an hour longer than yesterday. It's already pretty good. Haste makes waste."

Jiang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, and the sword almost fell from her hand. She immediately put it back into the scabbard, wiped the sweat from her forehead and said: "Fortunately, I didn't choose a long sword like yours. If I had chosen a heavy one, maybe it would only be as long as After an hour, I couldn’t lift it anymore.”

Gu Changsheng smiled and said: "Your body is already delicate, so a more agile sword is just right."

Both of them were covered in sweat, and their clothes were a little wet. They rested on the spot for a while, then walked back slowly facing the sunset with their long swords in hand.The place where they live is not far from the river. It is a residential house. The people here live on the water. There are not many people and the residences are not densely populated. They are all located here and there in the east and west. The original owner moved here. I went downstream, where there were more people living there and it was more convenient. There was no one to take care of this old house, so I rented it to them at a low price.

The two of them did all the work of chopping firewood, boiling water, washing and cooking. Jiang Yuyan was exhausted. When she returned to her place of residence, she sat down on the threshold with her sword on one side and looked after Gu Changsheng, who brought water from the water tank and poured it into the pot. Inside, make a fire to cook.

Jiang Yuyan took a break and went to the backyard to pick some vegetables. The water was just boiling, so Gu Changsheng poured out most of the hot water and kept it for bathing.After a simple meal while enduring a stinking sweat, Jiang Yuyan cheered, mixed the hot and cold water for the bath, took off her clothes and got into the bucket.

After Gu Changsheng put away the dishes and chopsticks, he gathered the clothes she had thrown on the ground and put them into another wooden laundry bucket. Seeing Jiang Yuyan buried in the bucket with her head exposed to look at her, he washed his hands. Go over and rub her hair gently.

Jiang Yuyan squinted her eyes and enjoyed it. Her body, which had been tired for a day, was soaking in hot water at this moment. It was a divine enjoyment that she wouldn't trade for anything.

When night fell and enveloped the land, the two of them had washed away the sweat and became clean. They put on loose clothes, sat cross-legged on the bed, tried to exercise their skills and regulate their breathing, and practiced the internal skills and mental methods in the martial arts manuscripts. , until it felt like it was almost time, he blew out the lights and went to sleep.

This residential house has many rooms. In addition to the five main rooms, there is a woodshed at the back and two utility rooms in the front yard, which were used by the previous owner to store fishing gear and catches.

But when they rented it, they just walked around each room without saying who lived in which room. Gu Changsheng didn't ask any questions and went to the master bedroom naturally. When it was time to go to bed, he lay down to sleep. , no different from before.

It seems natural that two people are safer than one person in such a mountainous and riverside place. If they are separated into two rooms, no matter what happens, they will not know what happened to the other person.

At the end of late autumn, the chirping of insects in the mountains gradually became less frequent. Except for the occasional sound of wind, the environment in this residence was quiet.

So another day passed.

As early winter approaches, the dawn gets later and later, and the roosters in the backyard begin to crow while the sky is still dark.

Hearing the sound of rooster crow, Jiang Yuyan opened her eyes from the bed. Most of yesterday's fatigue had disappeared in her sleep. She lay down for a short moment, put her arms around Gu Changsheng and let go, sat up and stretched, casually After tying up the hair that was scattered behind her, she got out of bed, dressed and washed, and then went to the yard to wash the clothes the two of them had changed out of yesterday.

Gu Changsheng went to the backyard to chop some firewood, stacked them neatly aside, and fed the chickens.

After doing all this, the sky was getting brighter, and the sun had not yet begun to show its head. The mountains were filled with mist, and the weeds on the road were covered with dew. The two went out of the yard to find an open area, and began to practice the martial arts manuscripts again. Basic body skills and sword moves.

In the morning light, the two men's movements were more skillful than yesterday.

The most important thing in practicing martial arts is persistence. All boredom will eventually be transformed into strength.

The two of them relied on that fierce energy to practice morning and evening. Time passed very quickly, and it felt a bit like the timeless time in the mountains. In the blink of an eye, there was autumn frost on the ground.

When the last yellow leaves fall from the trees in the mountains, winter has officially arrived.

The curtain has fallen on Mount Emei, and some famous masters are missing.

The masters of Yan Nantian's era are gradually coming to an end, and the new generation of masters are gradually emerging.
