This god is really evil

Chapter 16 If you don’t work hard, how can I make progress!

In addition to board games such as Liubo, Touhu, and Go, Da Qi also has card games.

It is somewhat similar to the poker in the previous life, but thick paper cards are used, a total of fifty cards, with the five great gods and a group of true immortals under their command as symbols, and five people as players.

It doesn't really focus on attacking, it's more like playing with building blocks.

Li Yan had seen other apprentices playing with this thing before. It was indeed quite interesting, with many tricks and could be used for gambling.

At this time, on the big bunk bed in the apprentice dormitory, a group of apprentices were playing with Niu Ma as the core, shouting and having a lot of fun.

Apparently the news that Niu Ma had broken through to the entry level of Ding Xin Gong had spread. On the path of cultivation, the strong are respected. Most of these apprentices came from poor backgrounds, so they naturally understood what Niu Ma's first level of Qi and Blood meant.

In another ten or twenty years, I can at least become a master chef in a charity cemetery.

The two original small groups almost instantly eliminated their differences and became one faction around Niu Ma.

Even Zhao Qingshan calls Niu Brother Niu all the time, compliments Niu Ma in all kinds of ways, and even feeds him cards.

How could Niu Ma have ever experienced such a situation?

Surrounded by the crowd, he reluctantly joined the card-playing group.

The fight has been going on since nightfall until now.

Moreover, he experienced the joy of playing cards for the first time, especially with so many brothers around him and everyone talking so nicely, he couldn't help but become addicted to it.

This scene made Li Yan so angry that his heart was broken and his body was burning with anger.

Mavericks, oh Mavericks, I didn't expect that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also slack off!

If you don't work hard, how can I make progress?!
I wanted to step forward and dissuade him, but after taking a step forward, I took a deep breath and forced myself to smile.

Article 1 of the Education Code:
What should you do if your child doesn't like studying and is addicted to games? You can't just beat him up. You must persuade him with kind words and never suppress him directly, otherwise it will make the child rebellious.

After all, people tend to like leisure and hate work. This can be said to be human nature. Who doesn't want to live comfortably? Who is born willing to struggle?
It is useless to rely solely on external suppression; it must rely on personal initiative.

As a former political commissar of the police force, Li Yan naturally understood the importance and urgency of ideological and political work.

He took a deep breath, strode into the apprentice dormitory, looked at everyone and greeted them with a smile:
"Brothers, you are so excited. I didn't expect that Brother Niu Ma is also an expert."

Niu Ma scratched his head shyly and said:
"It's just... just to have some fun with everyone."

Zhao Qingshan saw Li Yan's eyes light up and said quickly:

"Li Yan, come and play a round with Brother Niu. I've been losing for the whole night. I can't take it anymore."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the people next to him made way for Li Yan to sit over there.

Li Yan did not refuse and sat opposite Niu Ma. Everyone started to shuffle the cards and draw cards. As Li Yan drew the cards, he sighed deeply:
"Ugh……"

Zhao Qingshan frowned and said with thorns:

"Why, I asked you to play cards with Brother Niu, why are you sighing?"

Li Yan shook his head and said:
"Of course I'm not sighing because of this. I was just bored sitting by the stove tonight, so I went for a walk around town. I happened to meet a wandering storyteller on the street, and I heard a very moving story, so I sighed."

"Storyteller? Wow! He must be telling a supernatural story! Is it related to exorcising evil spirits?"

"The last time I listened to a book was during the Chinese New Year two years ago. My mother was still alive then..."

"Tell us quickly, tell us quickly, let us listen too."

"Is it a new book or an old one? If it is a new book, I will tell everyone about it."

The apprentices in these charity cemeteries all came from poor backgrounds and had to work in the cemeteries for a long time. The little money they earned would be exploited by the master chefs and they were reluctant to spend the money they had. It could be said that they lacked entertainment activities.

Listening to books has become a very interesting thing for them.

Even Niu Ma was full of anticipation, and said to Li Yan happily:
"Brother Li, tell me, tell me."

He even put the cards in his hand aside and stopped playing. Zhao Qingshan opened his mouth but said nothing - he also wanted to listen.

Li Yan clicked his tongue and said:
"The wandering storyteller said that this is his new book, called The Orphan of Zhao. It is about a country called Jin. This country had an important official named Zhao Dun and a great general named Tu'an Jia..."

The story of the Orphan of Zhao can be regarded as a famous revenge story in history. More than 300 members of Zhao Dun's family were killed. At that time, Zhao Ji, the wife of Zhao Dun's son Zhao Shuo, was pregnant. She gave birth to a son, Zhao Wu, on the day of the murder. Tu'an Jia searched the whole city to wipe out the root of the problem. In order to save Zhao Wu, Cheng Ying, a retainer of the Zhao family, replaced Zhao Wu with his newborn son, raised Zhao Wu, and finally took revenge.

As a classic revenge story, the Eastern-style gratitude and revenge shown in this story, the emotional power contained in it is enough to touch everyone's heart.

Li Yan was quite familiar with this story and told it basically correctly.

When hearing the twists and turns of the story, many apprentices either cursed Tu'an Jia or were moved and amazed by Cheng Ying's loyalty.

When Li Yan finished telling the story of Zhao Wu's final revenge, everyone couldn't help but cheer. They were even more excited than if they had earned ten taels of silver.

"Brother Niu, Brother Niu, why are you crying?" An apprentice turned around and saw Niu Ma's appearance, he was shocked and asked hurriedly.

Only then did everyone realize that Niu Ma had his hands on his knees, his eyes were red, tears as big as beans kept falling, and his hands had scratched his knees purple, and he looked extremely sad.

"Brother Niu is truly a man of kindheartedness. This story is truly touching. Li Yan, I think you can become a storyteller in the future." Zhao Qingshan flattered him and did not forget to tease Li Yan.

Li Yan naturally ignored the teasing of this little brat and asked Niu Ma with concern:

"Brother Niu, are you okay?"

How about practicing some martial arts?

Niu Ma raised his hand to wipe away his tears, wiped a big nose and threw it on the ground, forced a smile and said:
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just that this story is so touching."

After hearing this story, he cursed himself hundreds of times in his heart:

Niu Ma, Niu Ma, you are such a screwed thing! The orphan of the Zhao family had hundreds of people killed, but he endured for decades and finally got his revenge, and never gave up. Look at you, why are you still playing cards? Have you avenged your father's murder? Have you avenged your mother's murder? Have you avenged your entire family's murder? ?

Have you mastered the Fiery Sun Fist given by the Great Sage Master?!
Niu Ma only felt a surge of blood rushing up, and with his blood rushing, he wished he could slap himself a few times on the spot.

Then he said to the crowd:
"Brothers, play cards. I'm going to go out and get some fresh air."

He got down from the big bunk, put on his shoes, stood up and strode out.

Everyone looked at each other, and then they heard the faint sounds of fists and feet practicing martial arts outside.

"Brother Niuma is practicing again. He is so diligent..."

An apprentice muttered.

Everyone turned to look at the cards in their hands and instantly lost interest.

In addition, they had already listened to the book "The Orphan of Zhao", and it was already midnight, so many people felt tired and blew out the lights and went to sleep.

They knew that their talents were far inferior to Niu Ma's, and they were really sleepy, so they just fell asleep.

Only a few apprentices sneaked out of the room and found a place where no one was around to practice.

As for how many days you can last, only you know.

Seeing that this subtle guidance and motivation was so effective, Li Yan was also very pleased. He lay down on his bed and prepared to have a good sleep.

Come on, Mavericks!

At this moment, an apprentice next to him was heard chatting in a low voice:

"Our aptitude is really poor. It would be great if we could take a powerful medicine to make a breakthrough. I went to the town to buy hemp thread today. I heard that the Fu Ren Tang in the town has offered a reward for the medicinal ginseng in Tuo Mountain. Tonight, all the herbal farmers in the town have gone up the mountain to collect herbs. It's a pity that we can't afford the medicinal ginseng..."

Hearing this, Li Yan frowned and sat up.

Collect herbs!

Brother!
