Chapter 1057: The Man Comes Riding on a Bamboo Horse (46)
He walked quickly forward, pushed Xue Yao away, and started digging the soil himself.
He dug out three jars of wine in a row before stopping.
Xue Yuan didn't expect that there was wine buried under the tree at home. He looked at his father with a condemning look.
Xue Yao touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Ayuan, this wine is different from ordinary wine. It contains eighteen kinds of nourishing herbs, which are especially effective in healing hidden injuries.
Over the years, every time you strained your muscles from working too hard, I added this wine to the water you drank. Otherwise, you wouldn't have grown so well."
While the father and son were talking, Qiu Yang had already used his strength to break the seal on the wine jar and started blowing into it.
Gulp gulp and half the jar was gone.
"Put it down!" Xue Yao rushed to grab it after he came to his senses. "You're drinking it like a cow chewing a peony. You're not drinking at all. You're clearly ruining my things."
"What do you mean by your stuff? This is Ah Qing's wine!" Qiu Yang dodged and used a move commonly used in Drunken Fist, "Xue Yao, I used to think you were someone who liked to eat more and take more, but I didn't expect that you actually like to eat alone.
It's not just taking the child away, but you also took Ah Qing's wine. No wonder I didn't find anything related to him when I went to Lu's house. Did you take it all?"
Speaking of the past, Xue Yao was a little dazed. He turned his eyes away and did not answer the other party's question - not because he didn't want to say it, but because he couldn't say it!
Some things he should bear alone.
Seeing that his friend remained silent, Qiu Yang did not ask any further questions. Over the years, he had guessed that there must be some secrets hidden in what happened back then. Since Xue Yao was unwilling to say it, he did not want to force it.
Time is a good thing. It smoothes out the youthful vigor and also dilutes the past resentment.
"Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it!" Qiu Yang waved his hand. "At our age, I'm not that persistent anymore. I drink today and worry about tomorrow when it comes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Yang poured the remaining half of the jar of wine into his mouth. Under the influence of alcohol, he pulled Xue Yao and said, "I know everyone has their own difficulties in what happened back then. I don't blame you!"
Being in middle age and being able to reconcile with his brother made Xue Yao feel mixed emotions.
Unfortunately, the feeling of being moved only lasted for half a minute.
because
"Give me some of Ah Qing's belongings, and if there is any wine left, give me some more!" Qiu Yang must have been drunk at this moment, because he smiled a little foolishly.
A cow is still a cow no matter where it is taken, and Qiu Yang has the same personality no matter how old he is.
Even though we haven’t seen each other for half a lifetime, the boy we once were is still a boy.
just
"Get out!" Xue Yao shook off Qiu Yang's hand and took the other two unopened jars of wine into his room.
Qiu Yang was immediately dizzy after being thrown like this. With Ah Qi's support and Xue Yuan's guidance, he fell asleep in the guest room of Yu Xue's house.
The next morning, when Xue Yuan came back with breakfast, Qiu Yang and Ah Qi came out of the guest room.
Without a hangover, Qiu Yang was in great shape. Unlike his attitude towards Xue Yao, he asked with a smile, "Ayuan, I heard you're engaged. When you're officially married, Uncle Qiu will prepare a gift for you."
"Uncle Qiu, I'm only eleven years old, and my fiancée hasn't reached marriage age yet. It's too early to get married!" Although he said this, Xue Yuan's eyes were full of sweetness.
"Master, are you going back to the Yuan residence today?" Ah Qi reminded him from the side. "You have two days off in total. You still have to go back tomorrow to teach Master Yuan's son-in-law."
"A rotten tree can't be carved! With material like that, no matter how hard I teach it, it's just that!" Qiu Yang looked at Xue Yuan with a gleam in his eyes as he spoke, "But my A-Yuan is a good material for learning martial arts."
"Indeed!" Xue Yao also walked out of the room at this time. "Although Ayuan is already eleven years old, it is a bit late for him to practice martial arts now, but I have laid a good foundation over the years. If he has a famous teacher to guide him, he can indeed achieve something."
When talking about the word "famous teacher", Xue Yao's eyes were always on Qiu Yang.
He was a fourth-rank official, and his son Xue Yuan was born with the qualification to participate in the local examination. He originally planned to let Xue Yuan work as a ninth-rank bow maker.
But after meeting Qiu Yang yesterday, Xue Yao couldn't help but have other thoughts - after all, his status was there, and as long as he passed the martial arts exam, he would have a chance to get his position.
"Dad, you want me to learn martial arts?" Xue Yuan was surprised. "But didn't you say before that fighting and killing are not good things?"
Eh? How should I tell my son that I only know how to hit people and not how to teach them?
Fortunately, Xue Yao didn't have to talk about this himself because there were others eager to show off.
"Ayuan, this is not about fighting and killing, this is the basic skill of a man!" Qiu Yang saw that Xue Yao wanted Xue Yuan to learn martial arts, and his heart moved - he could not be a father anymore, but he could be a master!
Once a teacher, always a father!
"Okay then! I'll try!" Xue Yuan remembered that he had relied on brute force to fight with "others" before. If he learned martial arts, maybe he would be able to fight as coolly as his father.
"Master, please accept my disciple's greeting!" At Xue Yao's signal, Xue Yuan knelt down and became his disciple.
