Martial Arts Master

Chapter 357 Ancestral Hall

The scenery outside the car window swept away, and Lou Cheng had no intention of admiring it. While chatting with Yan Zheke on QQ, browsing forums, Weibo and other places, he intermittently listened to the chats of his parents, uncle and aunt, and occasionally chimed in. Two sentences.

After the battle to demolish the building that night, he found that his will had made another breakthrough, his ability to control his mind had become stronger, he was more resistant to negative emotions such as fear, tension and fear, and his application of moves and judgment in battles were improved. It has also been extremely tempered.

But even so, he still didn't like the raid he encountered, but he was not so angry.

As for the endorsement contract for martial arts shoes, Wu Qinggui, who is on a business trip, has expressed his approval in principle for the revised content. As long as he comes back, the two parties can formally sign the agreement and strive to complete the process before the year. In that case, after the Spring Festival, Lou Cheng will be successful. The money can be received, the endorsement fee of 700,000!

While Lou Yuanwei was playing mobile games and Ma Xi was listening to music with her eyes closed, time passed quickly. The vehicle got off the highway and entered the county-level highway. After several twists and turns and traffic jams, it entered Liangtian Village. boundary.

"We're almost there." Lou Zhisheng, the father of the building, reminded his drowsy wife and brother-in-law.

"Is it about to arrive?" Lou Cheng looked up out of the car window with curiosity, looking at his so-called hometown.

Lou Yuanwei put down his cell phone and leaned over to look at him. Ma Xi was completely unaware. He still closed his eyes and listened to the music. He didn't know if he had fallen asleep.

Outside is a two-lane rural road, with buildings built next to it. Most of them are two- and three-story houses built by their own families. They all have courtyards built in front of them, and some of them have cars parked.

"We already have cars..." Lou Yuanwei muttered to himself next to Lou Cheng in a complex tone.

Lou Cheng wanted to laugh when he heard these words. He vaguely grasped his cousin's mentality. He returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. For him, he was a city dweller going to the countryside, so he naturally had a sense of superiority. But he found that the villagers were actually two to one. Everyone has bought a car. Even if it’s not an eye-catching brand, it’s still a small car. Lou Yuanwei doesn’t even own one at home!

"Rural areas are quite rich now..." Lou Yuanwei's mother, Wang Lili, also sighed in a similar tone.

Lou Zhisheng, the father of Lou, laughed and said: "Today is different from the past. There is a labor shortage. As long as you are willing to work hard and have a skill, you can earn more than me every month, and you don't have to pay taxes. Well, it's not very stable, it's nothing." That’s the guarantee.”

"Yes, I heard how much does it cost to hire a small laborer now? Not to mention carpentry and masonry." The driver interrupted.

"But it can't be that every family is a carpenter, and every family can earn so much, right?" Lou Cheng's second uncle, Lou Zhiqiang, made no secret of his suspicion.

"That's for sure, but think about it, among the folks in our hometown, whoever builds a house or buys a car will be looked down upon. Who wants to be inferior to others? Who wants to say that everyone is looked down upon? Then You have to keep up. You have to grit your teeth and save money and keep up, unless there is really no other way." The driver traveled all over the country and saw many similar things.

Lou Zhiqiang smiled and said, "I'll just say it!"

"There's so much competition in the countryside..." Lou Yuanwei looked away to comfort himself, but Lou Cheng could see his disappointment and unwillingness.

My cousin has never been content with the status quo. He always thinks about starting a business and getting rich suddenly. He is always thinking about this, so when he is stimulated, he will inevitably react.

——When it comes to Lou Yuanwei's efforts to start a business, Lou Cheng has always maintained an attitude of neither opposing nor encouraging, so as not to be offended by his second uncle and second aunt.

As the vehicle continued to move forward, there were more trees on both sides, and the houses were no longer just arranged along both sides of the road, but gradually began to look like a village.

After taking a few detours, the Lou family arrived outside the newly built ancestral hall and saw an old man with sparse white hair standing at the door.

"Debang, you arrived quite early, there's no traffic jam?" The old man came over with a smile and said to Lou Cheng's grandfather, Lou Debang.

Lou Debang said very excitedly: "Third brother, why did you come out? There was no traffic jam, the journey was smooth."

Upon hearing the title "Third Brother", Lou Cheng probably knew who the old man was. He was his grandfather's cousin, his third grandfather Lou Deguang, the person who called for the reconstruction of the family tree and the new ancestral hall.

If my mother hadn't repeatedly nagged me about paying money, I really wouldn't have been able to remember this elder.

"I'm so excited, Debang, how many years have we not seen each other? We are already half-buried in the loess. It's one less time to see each other!" Lou Deguang showed obvious joy. After recognizing each other, he pulled Lou Debang walked to the ancestral hall, chattering as he walked, "Later, you can offer incense to your ancestors, pay your respects, and finish the genealogy. We will have a banquet when Zhilin comes back at noon, and go to the mountain to visit the tombs in the afternoon."

"Zhilin is so busy, you don't need to ask him to come back all the time, right?" Lou Debang said in surprise.

"Your fourth uncle finally came here, how dare he not come back? When he was a child, you loved him the most, giving him money every time we met." Lou Deguang waved his hand and said with high spirits, "And he has a good business Most of it is left to Erzi to take care of, so I have a lot of leisure time."

Lou Cheng followed quietly and listened silently, just like Lou Yuanwei and Ma Xi.

The Zhilin my grandfather mentioned, I just heard from my mother in the car, is the eldest son of the third grandfather Lou Deguang. He first took a few fellow villagers to Qingfu County to help people with decoration, and then jumped out to go it alone, and the business became more and more popular. He became more and more popular and became a well-known capable person in eight villages throughout the country.

He has already moved to the city to settle down, but Lou Deguang is unwilling to follow him, saying he can't bear to leave his ancestral home.

As for the "second son", he is Lou Zhilin's only son and his cousin. His mother didn't mention his specific name. She only said that he was more promising than his father and had done all his business in Lening City.

"The second son hasn't gotten married yet?" Lou Debang asked casually.

Lou Deguang hated the iron and said: "No! I haven't even decided on a girlfriend yet. Every time I talk to him, he just laughs. Don't look at his ability. If he doesn't find a wife in another two years, I have to let him go." He kneels in the ancestral hall!"

... Hearing these words, Lou Cheng's mouth twitched slightly. Whether to get married, when to get married, whether to have children, and when to have children are all personal wishes. When ancestors and ancestral halls are mixed in, it is full of deep emotions. The ancient smell, like a painted zombie jumping out of the grave.

Fortunately, I don't care about these things. I just listen to what makes sense. If it doesn't make sense, it's no use to anyone. People who don't ask for help are as good as others.

After entering the ancestral hall, worshiping his ancestors and paying the money, Lou Deguang found a piece of big red paper and asked his father, Lou Zhisheng, to write down the family tree here and then log it into the family tree.

After it was done, the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt also came. The relatives in this room sat around the square table. You and I chatted nonsense about where your family members worked and what their children did. Do you have a partner? How about studying...

Regarding these topics, Lou Zhiqiang and Wang Lili were a little hot-tempered. They only said that Lou Yuanwei had talked about a girlfriend in the drought- and flood-guaranteed unit, but it didn't work out. Qi Fang, Lou's mother, seemed to have been given a shot of chicken blood and relived the past. Lou Cheng’s wonderful feeling when he was admitted to college.

My Nariko is studying at Songcheng University... Don’t know about Songcheng University? It doesn't matter. Do you know Xingxing University? Songda is more awesome than that!

My son Chengzi won the championship of the Provincial Youth Championship... I don’t know about the Provincial Youth Championship? It doesn’t matter, just know that the bonus is hundreds of thousands!

Amidst the bursts of exclamations, Lou Cheng could no longer bear his shamelessness. He looked at his cousin Lou Yuanwei and his cousin Ma Xi, who were almost to the point of embarrassment, and said to Lou Debang:

"Grandpa, let's go out for a walk and we'll be back soon."

As he spoke, he had already stood up. Lou Yuanwei and Ma Xi both breathed a sigh of relief and followed him as if they were relieved.

After leaving the ancestral hall and walking along the road, their emotions gradually calmed down and they looked around with interest.

"This is my first time in a place like this." Ma Xi looked at the small river not far away and found traces of fish in it, which made her who grew up in the city suddenly become quite excited.

Lou Yuanwei is the same, he feels new to everything.

"It's winter and there's no ice, so what's fun?" Lou Cheng took a photo and sent it to Ke Xiaoke.

His grandparents lived in the countryside and were used to similar scenes.

While they were talking, they passed by a house and saw a middle-aged man boxing in the courtyard, making loud and powerful sounds.

"Don't look too much. Let's go. It's a taboo." Lou Cheng patted Lou Yuanwei and Ma Xi on the shoulders and warned them.

After taking a few steps forward, Lou Yuanwei lowered his voice and said, "I think that man is quite powerful. Chengzi, who is more powerful, you or him?"

You ask so directly, how can I pretend to be cool? Lou Cheng chuckled secretly and said:

"He has ninth-grade strength, and his energy and blood are fairly strong."

He didn't directly say that he was better than the other person, but it was obvious after looking at his rank.

"Oh, you have defeated a seventh-grade warrior, you must be much more powerful than him!" Lou Yuanwei suddenly realized.

"Brother, aren't you talking nonsense?" Ma Xi complained.

At this time, they saw a group of children playing on the road ahead, beating them with toy swords and inflatable sticks, shouting and getting very excited.

Seeing this scene, Lou Cheng couldn't help but fall into memories and said with a smile: "Back then, I had a sword that I made by myself. I cut it out of bamboo, and I also used a bamboo tube to give it a scabbard. Every time I pulled it out, I feel like I am a hero, but it’s a pity that I left it at my grandpa’s house and I don’t know who lost it.”

"I remember, you showed off to me, and I asked you to help me get one, but you never remembered it." Lou Yuanwei laughed and said, "Hey, that kid is very disciplined in playing."

He pointed at the tiger-headed kid holding a toy knife.

"Not bad, right? My son?" A man came up next to him and said with a smile. It was the middle-aged man who had boxed in his courtyard before. He had a Chinese-shaped face and many bumps on his skin.

Lou Cheng had already noticed his traces and asked with a smile: "Is this a family heirloom?"

"Yes, the ancestors of our in-law family have been hunters for generations. This is my youngest son. My eldest son has obtained the ninth-grade certificate and is a substitute in the Bat Team. Have you heard of the Bat Team?" The middle-aged man said this to everyone. gesture.

"No." Lou Yuanwei and Ma Xi shook their heads together.

Lou Cheng had heard of it, but he was too lazy to speak.

"Haha, are you the Lou family who came back to worship your ancestors today?" The middle-aged man asked instead when he saw that no one was aware of the goods.

"Yeah." Lou Cheng nodded calmly.

At this moment, they heard the roar of a motor and saw a black car coming from the corner, then crashed out of control onto the roadside and hit the group of children.

The children were all frightened, and no one moved. The middle-aged man's hair exploded, and he rushed towards his youngest son without thinking, trying to hug him and run away from danger. As for the others, it was too late to take care of them!

Using both feet, he jumped up. As soon as he rushed to the side of the tiger-headed child, he heard the sound of the engine revving up and found that the black car was approaching with a swish.

Seeing the red-faced driver in the driver's seat and his panic-stricken eyes, the middle-aged man felt angry and aggrieved, feeling that he could not escape.

Damn it, this drunkard used the accelerator as the brake!

Just when he was desperate, he suddenly saw a figure leaping past and heard a dull collision.

boom!

Lou Cheng Danjin retracted and released his hands, half raising and half lifting, and forcefully lifted the front of the car.

The rear wheels of the black car spun crazily, rubbing against the ground, making sharp noises and scattering sparks, but it could not move any further.

Click!

The cement under Lou Cheng's feet cracked, and the head of the black car was dented and stopped in place!
