Congrats to the boss and his brother

After Chi Jingyao returned to Zhuangzi that day, he didn't even bother to check the medicine box.

So it took two full days for the flying knife that Pei Ye secretly put in his medicine box to be discovered by Chi Jingyao.

Those two flying knives are very small and delicate, and the workmanship does not look as exquisite as the ones given by Chi Jingyao to Pei Ye. At first glance, it is not from the hands of the old master, but looks like it was made by Pei Ye himself.

Especially the fanny pack, Chi Jingyao felt a little familiar when he saw it.It was only later that he remembered that when Pei Yeye was sulking that day, he seemed to have played with that leather. At that time, Chi Jingyao didn't know what he was doing, and only now did he realize it.

Unexpectedly, when Pei Ye was angry, he was busy making this for him!

Chi Jingyao was so moved that he held the flying knife happily for a long time.

After that day, he put on his pocket and carried his throwing knife with him wherever he went.

In fact, he can obviously put the throwing knife in the storage space, without having to hang it on his body at all.But he was delighted to get a new gift, and as if he was afraid that others would not see it, he wandered around the Zhuangzi with a flying knife hanging on his back, only to drag people to watch his performance.

The day after getting the flying knife, Chi Jingyao got a target in the small yard.

That target was made by Yang Cheng and Pei Ye during the martial arts competition a few years ago, and it was thrown into the utility room afterwards, and no one used it again.

But the bottom of the target is made of grass rope, which is hard and thick.Chi Jingyao practiced a few times, and although he was able to aim the head, it was okay, but because the strength was too weak, the throwing knife would fall off every time it touched the target, and could not get in once.

After practicing for half a day, he was quite frustrated, so he set up a new target and replaced the bottom of the target with paper.

This time, he was quite handy. As soon as he shot the throwing knife, it passed through the bull's-eye and landed on the ground not far away.

"Squeak!" The monkey boss who was watching on the side clapped his hands and applauded him.

Chi Jingyao smiled embarrassingly? He smiled? He really couldn't be proud.

When he used the slingshot in the past, although the strength was not as strong as Pei Ye's, he could barely survive.Because the strength of the slingshot is part of the elastic force, but the flying knife is different? All the strength can only be relied on by himself, without any assistance.

Therefore, if he wants to practice throwing knives well, the first problem is to make himself stronger.

For this reason, Chi Jingyao specially went to help the guys with rough work for a few days, thinking that he could exercise his strength.It's a pity that he has never done any rough work. How many days of hard work does he have? He didn't grow much, and there were several blisters on his hands.

"You? How overwhelmed are you?" Ding Xiaowan couldn't help teasing after seeing his hands.

"I? Just? I want to practice my strength well, so that I can show off when I see my second brother next time." Chi Jingyao said, "Who knew that this was so disappointing..."

"There is a specialization in art. You are not born to do hard work. There is no need to force yourself." Ding Xiao said gently.

"I? This? Didn't I not believe in fate?" Chi Jingyao sighed and said, "I still want to struggle."

Ding Xiao smiled wanly and said, "You? Second brother, why did you suddenly want to teach you? Throwing knives?"

"Maybe because you know I'm a boy?" Chi Jingyao said.

But then he realized that this shouldn't be the reason. Pei Ye should have been preparing to get that pocket for him before he knew his identity, which means that the flying knife was prepared to give it to him earlier. up.At that time, Pei Ye didn't know that he was a boy.

"Maybe he hopes... I? Can protect myself?" Chi Jingyao said again.

"Perhaps." Ding Xiaowan said: "The world is in chaos now, and we are too close to the border town. If there is a real fight...no one can say what the world will be like."

Chi Jingyao was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered that the original owner and Ruan Baozi had escaped from the border town back then.

At that time, there was an attack by bandits, and their whole village was hit by rice seedlings, dead and injured, the situation was terrible...

If not, he and Ruan Baozi would not have been taken away so easily by Ren Yazi.

However, the border town is located at the intersection of the two countries. It is not surprising that it lacks governance and is a bit chaotic.

"Sister Ding, if we fight Chen Guozhen in the future, will it affect us?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"As long as the border town is not lost, the war should not be fought here for a while." Ding Xiaowan said: "Actually, I have never seen a war, but I have heard from Master that when we fight It is easy to have remnant soldiers and rogue bandits, they all escaped from the battlefield, if they really encounter it, it is really difficult to deal with."

Their place is far away from the county town, and the control is not strict. If there are remnant soldiers fleeing from the border town, they will probably pass through this area.

But these are just hypotheticals. Now that Dayu and Chen Guo have not officially started a war, there is no need to worry about these too early.

But Chi Jingyao vaguely felt in his heart that he still had to learn some self-defense skills in advance.

If he was in his current physique, if he encountered any bandits, he probably wouldn't have time to call for help, and he would be gone.

So the matter of the flying knife cannot be put aside.

Although his strength is not strong now, as long as he keeps practicing, his strength will always get bigger and bigger.

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the season of eating peaches has arrived.

Chi Jingyao has a new thing to do recently, and that is to exchange black peach pits with Brother Hou.

Over the past few years, a certain tacit understanding has been established between them.

Every summer, Brother Monkey would lead the monkeys on the mountain to eat utas, and after eating, he would collect the peach pits and bring them to Chi Jingyao in batches.In return, Chi Jingyao would still give them some food.

Considering that food is not easy to preserve in summer, Chi Jingyao will also cash out the food given to Monkey Brother and the others in batches.

Chi Jingyao will keep a small part of the black peach pits in exchange, and put the rest in the pharmacy.

"Squeak..." Brother Hou put a cloth bag on Chi Jingyao's footsteps.

Chi Jingyao opened it and saw that inside? In addition to dozens of upal stones, there were also two peaches.

"Squeak!" Brother Hou pointed to the peach, and then to Chi Jingyao's mouth. What does that mean? Two peaches for Chi Jingyao to taste.

"Brother Monkey, you are quite loyal. Every time you don't forget to give me some peaches to taste." Chi Jingyao handed two peaches to the big man who was squatting on the side, and gestured towards it , that means let it be washed.

The boss understood, and ran away with two peaches.

Chi Jingyao squatted under the tree, took out the walnut pits from the cloth bag, filled a bag full of food, and returned them to Brother Hou.

"Okay, Brother Monkey, go back quickly, it's too hot here." Chi Jingyao wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said to Brother Monkey.

This? It's near the hot pool. It's not to mention how comfortable it is to stay in winter. If you stay nearby in summer, it's like suffering.

Every time Chi Jingyao came back here to look for Brother Hou, he would be so hot that he would break out in a sweat.

But Brother Hou didn't want to go to the yard, so he had to choose this place to meet him every time.

Later, Chi Jingyao deliberately made some cool clothes, cut off the sleeves, and cut the trousers into half lengths, which made it much cooler to wear.But no matter how cool it is, it can't stand the high temperature here, and you will still be sweating profusely after staying for a while.

"Squeak!" The monkey held the bag in his hand, but didn't leave.

Chi Jingyao looked at it suspiciously, and asked, "Don't you think it's too little?"

"Zhizhi" the monkey yelled twice, not knowing what it meant.

"I? Didn't lie to you. We've been doing business for so many years. When did I lie to you?" Chi Jingyao pointed to the bag and explained, "It's too hot in summer, and it's okay to leave things overnight. Bad, I'll give it to you in installments, there will only be more and no less."

The monkey still looked at him, called "Zhizhi" twice, and circled him twice, as if he was a little anxious.

Chi Jingyao was so hot? Distraught, he discussed with it: "How about we talk in another place?"

The monkey didn't know whether he understood it, or thought of something, stretched out his claws and pulled Chi Jingyao's hand, pulling him to walk back.

A small patch of trees was planted on the other side of the hot pool, and through that patch of woods is the wall of Chuang Tzu.

Chi Jingyao followed it to the side of the fence, and saw the monkey put the cloth bag on its back, climbed up the tree in twos and twos, and then jumped onto the fence.It squatted on the wall and pointed to the tree, and then to the wall, which meant that Chi Jingyao would also come up.

Chi Jingyao had a helpless expression on his face, and thought to himself, then you? You think highly of me? Brother Monkey!

He has lived two lifetimes and never learned to climb a tree.

"I? Can't go up." Chi Jingyao stood under the tree with his hips crossed, looked up at the monkey and said, "Besides, what am I doing up the wall? Could it be that you? Want to take me? Elope?"

"Squeak!" Brother Monkey jumped up and down the wall, obviously Chi Jingyao couldn't come up, and he didn't intend to give up.

Chi Jingyao thought for a while, and guessed that Brother Hou might want to take him to see something, so he couldn't help being a little curious.

He circled the tree twice, observed it, and found that as long as he could climb the tree, he could climb to the wall by stepping on the branches of the tree.Although he has never learned to climb trees, this matter does not seem too difficult.

So, Chi Jingyao rubbed his hands, imitating the posture of a monkey climbing a tree, and then climbed up.

The bark of that tree was not smooth, and climbing up was not as difficult as imagined.

Chi Jingyao used his hands and feet together, and after a long while, he finally climbed to a height of more than ten feet.

However, he didn't have much strength in his hands and feet. After holding the tree to rest for a while, he lost his strength and slid down.

It didn't matter if he slipped like this, as his arm rubbed against the tree, a large piece was scratched immediately, and it hurt so much. He gasped.At the same time, the trousers on his body were also badly damaged, as they were cut open from the root of his thigh to his knee, turning one of his trouser legs into a slit.

"Squeak!" Brother Hou squatted on the wall? Looking at him with a bit of surprise on his expression.

It seems a bit? I can't figure it out. This? The boy usually looks very smart. How can he climb a tree and tear his pants?

"It's useless for you to despise me, I'm a human, you're a monkey!" Chi Jingyao blew on his broken arm, and said to Brother Monkey, "You? Wait, I? Go back and change A pair of trousers, and a ladder."

After he finished speaking, he ran back to his residence.

The big brother was squatting at the door, gnawing spades, and when he saw him come back, he hurriedly yelled twice.

"Okay you guys, I'll let you wash a peach, you'll eat it yourself first, so just leave me alone?" Chi Jingyao reached out and took the other peach away from it, and took a bite , and scolded it: "You? Do you know me? I almost ran away with you today? That monkey father eloped!"

He stepped into the small courtyard as soon as he spoke, but he was stunned as soon as he entered the door.

I saw a tall person standing in the courtyard, looking at him with a very complicated look.

"Second brother?" Chi Jingyao rushed up to hug him happily, smiled and said, "You? Why are you here?"

Pei Ye let the young man plunge into his arms, glanced at the young man's bare legs, and said, "You? Dress like this all day long in Zhuangzi?"

Chi Jingyao: ...

Pei Ye: Boys can't be naked every day!
