Traveling through ancient times to survive

With the salt brought back by Zhao Qing and his six companions, the villagers in the valley who were suffering from muscle aches gradually returned to normal.

During this period, Zhao Qing took a team of more than 20 people and made another trip. They brought back more than 500 kilograms of fine salt, which was distributed to each person as 4 kilograms. The salt crisis in the valley was finally resolved.

Life returned to normal. Zhao Qing took Zhao Lan to practice martial arts every day. Li Heng, who had not been out for a long time, came to him and asked to join in with three silver notes of one hundred taels as a stepping stone.

"Sister Zhao Qing, can you teach me how to practice body building techniques? This is my thank you gift."

Li Heng, who knew Zhao Qing well, took out three hundred taels of silver notes. How could he let go of the money that was delivered to his door? Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the money.

"Okay, you can practice with me and Zhao Lan every day, okay?"

"I can't ask for it."

The two-person group officially became a three-person group, practicing martial arts for an hour each morning and afternoon.

Zhao Dewen and his four companions seemed to have really decided that Zhao Qing was the boss. Whenever they met, they would ask him to be the boss. Zhao Qing refused several times, but they still agreed with him verbally and continued to do as they pleased when they met next time.

These people would hang around Zhao Qing whenever they had free time. Sometimes when they saw the three of them practicing martial arts, their burning eyes were almost blinding.

Zhao Qing's scalp numbed from being stared at, and he spoke helplessly.

"My eyes are almost popping out of my head. If you want to practice, just follow me."

The five people's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again as they thought of something. They had asked Li Heng and learned that it would cost a lot of money to learn the body-building technique created by the boss.

"But we don't have money and can't afford to study." Zhao Dewen looked disappointed, and the others nodded with pursed lips.

Zhao Qing did not intend to teach for free. Firstly, if something is obtained too easily, people would not cherish it. Secondly, what would Li Wu and his son, who had spent a lot of money, think?

"If it doesn't work, I'll buy you on credit first. Once you've improved your physical fitness, go out of the valley and hunt. I'll give each of you 200 kilograms of meat as the registration fee."

"Really? Thanks, boss!"

The five people were overjoyed. Two hundred kilograms of meat was not as heavy as the wild boar they had roasted before. What was the difference between this and learning in vain? The boss was indeed cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He would still think of them when there was something good. The five people were so moved that they almost shed tears and thanked him loudly.

Zhao Qing gave them advance warning that she would definitely not pay the same amount of attention to the two groups of people. If they had any concerns, they should simply not start. She didn't want to work for nothing.

"You guys can watch me practice first and learn as much as you can. Let me make it clear first, I will definitely not teach you five the same way I did with Lan Ya and Heng Ge."

"we know."

The five people answered in unison that one of them was her biological sister and the other had spent a lot of money on her, so it was normal for her to teach them more attentively than herself. They understood this very well and had no objection at all.

Zhao Qing carefully observed the expressions of the five of them, and confirmed that they really had no dissatisfaction, then nodded and agreed to let them learn together.

Therefore, the team that practiced martial arts every day became eight people. When other young men in the valley found out, they were jealous. They also wanted to learn martial arts, so they approached the five people to ask for directions.

"We also want to learn martial arts from Qingya, what are the conditions?"

"Why call me Qingya! You should call me Boss!" Zhao Deyu's face darkened. How could their boss be so ignored by these people?

The young people who came over looked at each other and thought, if learning martial arts was so easy, it wouldn't be impossible to recognize a leader.

"Is this a requirement for learning martial arts?"

Feng Jin couldn't believe his ears. What kind of outrageous statement was this?

"What are you dreaming about in broad daylight! Our boss is an immortal who has descended to earth. Letting you call him boss is a compliment to you. You are taking advantage of him!"

Everyone lowered their heads in shame. Feng Jin was right. Since last year, Zhao Qing had saved everyone several times. He had a keen vision and wisdom, and his fighting skills were outstanding. It was indeed a great blessing for them to be able to follow Zhao Qing.

"Then how can we recognize the boss?" Someone raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and looked directly at Feng Jin.

"Not bad, not bad, you are a teachable kid," Feng Jin stroked his non-existent beard, with an unfathomable look on his face, "After you can learn martial arts from me, I will teach you the tricks."

"Then how can we learn martial arts?" Everyone looked at Feng Jin eagerly.

"I'll ask the eldest sister first to see if she's willing to continue accepting students."

After the eight people finished practicing again, Feng Jin showed a flattering smile, and sweet words came out of his mouth without any cost.

"Boss, your wisdom is like a mountain, your knowledge is like the boundless sea, and your military strength is like..."

Zhao Qing interrupted Feng Jin immediately. She had seen that Li Heng, who had always been serious, was about to lose control of his expression. Zhao Lan was already covering her mouth and laughing. The other four people highly agreed, but that was not important. What was important was that her image of being calm and reliable had been completely ruined.

"You have something to say."

"Okay, boss, I have something good to tell you. The young people in the village admire you very much. You are very smart and skilled in martial arts. They can't do it with wisdom, but there is still a little possibility with martial arts."

Feng Jin was talking while gesticulating. The seven people were all speechless because his index finger and thumb were tightly pinched together. How could there be any space between the two fingers?

"So they want to learn martial arts from you. Of course, since you work so hard, it's not too much to charge you some tuition. They are willing to spend 400 kilograms of meat each as tuition."

Feng Jin doubled the amount of money he had earned from the five of them. He was not embarrassed at all. Who were the five of them? They were the first to follow the boss. Wasn't it natural that they were different from the latecomers?

Zhao Qing looked at him in surprise. Feng Jin puffed out his chest with pride. Yes, that's right, he is the best younger brother and it is his duty to make money for the boss!

"Okay, go and talk to them. If they are willing, they can come together."

Zhao Qing was not angry at Feng Jin's unauthorized price increase. If they had practiced well, there would be no difference between 400 kilograms of meat and 200 kilograms of meat for them. It would just be a matter of making one more trip.

Feng Jin and his four companions wanted to feel superior in front of those who came after them. So what if this harmless little thought satisfied them?

"Okay, sir, just wait."

Feng Jin jumped up with joy, as if all the fatigue in his body was cleared away. He called Zhao Dewen and the other three, and the five of them ran back in a flash.

Li Heng put his fist against his chin and coughed lightly a few times to cover the corners of his mouth that he couldn't suppress.

"Laugh if you want to." Zhao Qing had a blank expression on his face.

"These little brothers you have recruited are quite interesting." Li Heng couldn't hide the smile in his voice.

"Yes, cousin, the guy named Feng Jin speaks nicely and is a talented person." Zhao Lan smiled and gave a thumbs up.
