Age: My Small World

Chapter 153 Favor
The combination of Tan Leg and Tongbei Fist made Mr. Hu feel very proud and he even wanted to go out to fight against the enemy.

However, he was afraid of death, so he helped secretly and killed many enemies with his own hands.

Once, I was careless and someone approached me without me noticing, and I was shot.

Fortunately, his martial arts skills were very sophisticated, and he managed to kill the attacker, but he was dying.

It was at this time that the mother of the Mi brothers rescued Mr. Hu.

He took the opportunity to escape from the sight of the provincial capital and ran to the countryside to recuperate.

In two years, the country would win. Mr. Hu had some intuition that it would be safer for him to stay in the countryside, so he never returned.

I have to say his intuition is very accurate.

At the same time, his servant Liu Shangxun parted ways with him after entering Shandong Province, became a famous cultural broker, and became a guest of honor for many literati.

Liu Shangxun refused Hu Baye's departure and his request before leaving whether he was willing to remain in hiding. This is why Hu Baye had not had much contact with him.

Liu Shangxun is more eager for fame than him, and he often does things out of the ordinary. If they don't have the same plan, it would be better for them to go their separate ways.

Even so, they had always had some understanding of each other's general situation, otherwise Liu Shangxun would not have thought that the Eighth Master was down and out from the beginning.

In fact, Mr. Hu was able to come here because of the two mothers.

Unfortunately, that person passed away a few years ago, which made the old man quite sad for a while. He could only take care of her two sons from time to time.

However, Mr. Hu himself had no way of saving money and was not good at business, so when the two brothers had difficulties, he could not help them with their finances. He could only help to check their injuries or teach them some self-defense techniques.

The old man wanted to take them in as his disciples and pass on his skills, but the Mi brothers had no talent for martial arts. It was difficult for them to learn one or two moves, and they could not learn more, so Mr. Hu had no choice but to give up the idea.

Being neither good at literature nor martial arts, the two brothers found it increasingly difficult to survive, and they secretly considered becoming pickpockets.

Fortunately, he was seriously injured the first time, otherwise Mr. Hu might have to go to the farm to see them working in the future.

"Mi Shan and Mi Liang are not bad people actually. The reason they were injured the first time they were thieves was that they fell while helping the conductor to catch someone. In order to fool others, they had to make up a story that they were hit by a car while thieves. It was nonsense." Mr. Hu couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a little disappointed.

Yang Jun also knew the names of the Mi brothers. Together, they meant kindness, and the names their parents gave them were quite interesting.

He also understood why the two of them lied, it was to scare others.

They think they are great pickpockets and that others will be afraid of them. This is because they lack a sense of security.

"Have you ever thought of asking Mr. Liu to look after them?"

Thinking of Mr. Hu's previous act of selling the relics, it is likely that he is no longer able to arrange for the two brothers, but I don't know what the old man had planned before.

When Liu Shangxun was mentioned, Mr. Hu paused.

"He's not very reliable, so let's not bother him."

"They might gain temporary fame by following him, but the outcome is hard to predict."

Although Liu Shangxun behaves quite secretively, he is actually a hidden person in the city with many flaws.

For example, the house he lives in is of the highest quality. People will find it unique as soon as they enter the house. There is even a fish pond in the yard, which is quite exaggerated.

The food they eat is famous pastries and the clothes they wear are high-end fabrics.

In this era, his outfit is extremely eye-catching.

This is a person who looks low-key but is actually very high-profile.

Yang Jun couldn't help but nodded.

Back at Nanying Lane, Mr. Hu continued, "I originally planned to have them learn a craft, so that they could at least earn some respect and become apprentices. Unfortunately, all the apprentices were dismissed this year, and there's no place for them to learn anymore."

Except for the steel mills, temporary workers and apprentices in many factories have been persuaded to return home, as it is unrealistic for them to continue working as apprentices.

"Now, I feel like I can live a few more years, so I'll keep looking for opportunities so that they can have a full meal."

This life-saving favor has been involved for a long time, and Mr. Hu will not give up on the Mi brothers. Yang Jun has no better way, so he simply said nothing more.

If he could find an opportunity, he would definitely come first, following his second sister at home. After all, relatives should come before others.

"Master, if you have similar instructions in the future, please feel free to tell me. Besides, I can still get food, so we won't starve."

As he said this, Mr. Hu handed over something.

Yang Jun took a look and saw that it was money, but he didn't take it.

"Take it, this money is from me."

"Master, if I still ask for money for this little bit of food, then I am not worthy of being your apprentice."

"nonsense."

The old man glared.

"That food is for the two of us, not for you."

"Okay, if you don't accept it now, I won't need you to send me food in the future."

Mr. Hu wanted him to put things into perspective.

Mr. Hu could accept the food that he gave to him with peace of mind, but the food given to the Mi brothers should not be related to Yang Jun, and the kindness others showed him should not involve Yang Jun.

As the saying goes, favors are the hardest thing to repay in this life, especially the great kindness shown after one dies.

Mr. Hu didn't care what he was going to do. What he was worried about was that Yang Jun would inherit his debt of gratitude. That would be an endless sacrifice and not worth it for him to do such a thing.

This matter ends with him.

"Okay, then I won't try to be a good person."

Yang Jun could only obey Mr. Hu's words.

"There are plenty of opportunities to be a good person, but you have to remember that it's best not to be burdened by human relationships."

It was not that he was impatient with the Mi family's kindness to him, but he hoped that Yang Jun would not be hindered by these things.

The world is now at peace. Mr. Hu doesn't know what the future will be like, but it would be great if he could live a more relaxed life.

Yang Jun's path will eventually be different from his.

"Haha, Master, if a person can escape from human feelings in this life, it would probably be impossible."

Some people say that life is all about human relationships, which is unavoidable.

In Yang Jun's opinion, what Mr. Hu really wanted him to do was to avoid getting into severe danger and not involve irrelevant people.

"Forget it, let's learn boxing."

The old man pondered for a moment, and finally stopped thinking about it.

He then began to teach Yang Jun his boxing skills.

Although he also learned military killing skills, he did not give up practicing the Twelve-Stroke Method. Every day in the small world, he used spiritual water to restore himself and practice boxing, so his proficiency was greatly improved.

"Very good."

Seeing this, Mr. Hu stroked his beard and smiled.

"Perhaps it won't be long before I can teach you the Eight Steps and Thirteen Swords. You'd better work harder."

Seeing his progress, the old man was obviously a little anxious.

After all, the core of Tongbeiquan is these eight steps and thirteen swords.
