Cao Xun's master was named Zhou, and his name was Yuanhang. He was from Northeast China. He participated in the Liaochen and Pingjin Battles. After liberation, he went to the Korean battlefield and served as the leader of the blasting team of a company level. After restoration, he arrived in Tangshan. Zhou Yuanhang was a dark-skinned man, very thin. In Lu Li's opinion, he was simply too thin and weighed no more than 110 kilograms, but he was very energetic. "Little Lu, right? I know, I know. I heard Xiao Cao talk about you when I got that lump."

Lu Li shook hands with him, and suddenly felt his hands tightening, and hurriedly used his strength, "Well, I'm so strong. Xiao Cao, I'm better than you."

"Master, I just told him that I will let Luli drink with you tonight. This grandson can drink. When I wake up tomorrow, you can beat him up for me. Over the years, he has bullied me a lot. I'm just waiting for you to vent my anger."

Zhou Yuanhang smiled and shook hands with the other people, "That's you a shameless guy, you're all bullied? Mom, don't say you're my apprentice in the future."

Lu Li laughed a few times, and they could hear their friendship like father and son from the conversation between the two junior brothers. "Come on, Xiao Lu, I heard from this guy, can you drink? Let's have some drinks now?"

"Okay...ah," Lu Li smiled and nodded, "Today, we are here to see Cao Xun, and the other is to accompany you to drink. Anyway, you have to make you feel good."

"Haha, that's right! Xiao Cao, put two dishes and take out the wine I brought back from my hometown, so don't be stingy."

When the dishes were served, everyone picked up the chopsticks, and the expression on their faces was not to mention: "Oh, why are they so salty? Did you beat the salt seller to death? I'm so bitter!"

The food is too salty! It is completely salty beyond imagination. Lu Li now understands why Zhou Yuanhang is so thin, it is simply the same as bacon! "Master Zhou? This..." (Note 1)

"In our village, we are all used to making snacks. Alas, we have been in the army for so many years, but we can't change it." He waved to Cao Xun, who was busy, "Boy, stew that chicken, and add less salt this time."

"Hey, I get it."

After waiting for a long time, an old stewed hen came on the table. Cao Xun sat next to the master and poured wine for the old man, "Master, let's start?"

"Come on, Xiao Lu, the first time we met, your child is quite sensible, and you brought me wine? Thank you, uncle, do you do it."

Lu Li finished the wine and lit the bottom of the bowl, "Good boy, he is better than this boy! Every time he asked him to drink with me, he was like asking him to go to the execution ground. Boy, don't pay attention to him, let's drink it."

So, Luli and Zhou Yuanhang, you one bowl, I poured it one bowl at a time. Zhou Yuanhang had a lot of alcohol. Four or five bowls passed, as if nothing had happened, but he became even more interested. "Mom, I'm so sucking. Since the old mine manager had finished the stuff for those calfs last time, I have never drunk such a pleasant wine! Come again, come again!"

The people around had already stopped drinking and looked at these two guys blankly. They could really drink it? A bucket of 10 kilograms of white wine was given to everyone a bowl, and the remaining six or seven kilograms were still in their stomachs in two hours. When will they drink it like this?

Zhou Yuanhang became happier the more he drank, and he started to speak. "Boy, don't go back, let Cao Xun get out! You stay here, you two change places, how about it?"

"Master, don't look at the mountains high. Luli's grandson is the most unkind! When you come back, you will starve you to death! It's better for me, or I'm better, how well I am? I'll pour you a urinary pot every morning!"

Everyone was laughing, and Zhou Yuanhang glared at him, "Get out, go, damn thing!" The old man was so drunk that he put the bowl on his head, "Boy, I heard from this damn, you will fight when you are young, right?"

"Come? Come? Haha!" Cao Xun looked gloating, "Master, don't behold he is my old classmate, don't give me face. Slaughter him tonight! Avenge your apprentice!"

Xu Yunjian slapped him head-on, "Cnm, look at Xiaoxiao being beaten, why is it so beautiful?"

"That's right, he has bullied me over the years. It's rare that my master is here, how can I not vent my anger?"

Zhou Yuanhang pulled Luli, "Let's go, how many moves will we take outside?"

Lu Li also had some wine, shook her head, and then walked out of the shed. There was a piece of sandy land under her feet, a layer of quartz stone powder was piled up. Standing on it, she felt that the soles of the shoes were numb and not easy to stand firm. Zhou Yuanhang took a few steps back and raised his right hand, "Boy, come here."

It was still very hot in September. Everyone drank again and took off their shirtlessness. Looking at Zhou Yuanhang's thin but healthy body, Lu Li jumped a few times on the spot, tried the friction of the ground under his feet, kicked his right foot, and drew a ray of smoke and dust. His body quickly ran forward. He saw that it was within the best range of eight feet, so he soared into the air and hit the old man's right side with his knee.

Zhou Yuanhang let out a 'ha', bent his arms and elbows, blocking them outwards, and his elbows and Luli's legs collided. One floated to the ground, and the other rushed to the left a few steps, "Good boy, it's a good thing to pull the thief!" He cursed and rushed up - this time he would attack.

Zhou Yuanhang looked very thin, but he was very strong! Lu Li raised his arms, blocked the face, and thrust the opponent like a drum beat. He finally dodged his momentum, and both forearms were a little numb. "Lu Li, how are you doing this time? You know it's amazing? You can see that you dare to be arrogant in the future?"

Lu Li didn't even pinch his eyes, and shook his arms, a sharp look flashed in his eyes. Zhou Yuanhang's heavy punch made him feel a little anxious. He didn't care if he lost to the other party, but he must not lose to him like this! As soon as he thought of this, he hummed, slowly but strode forward, and approached, raised his fists at the same time, and combined with the skills on his feet, attacking the other party like a storm.

Zhou Yuanhang was a little struggling. Lu Li was young and his fists were quite strong, and his moves were very fast. The basic routines and grappling techniques in the army seemed to have no effect on him at all. Lu Li swung his fists like the wind, and he opened his left hand and drew an arc in the air, slashing his palm, tangenting towards the opponent's neck ruthlessly. Zhou Yuanhang moved his right hand with no ambiguity. He opened his palm knife, and Lu Li's right hand arrived immediately. "I'm cao!"

The punch hit hard, hitting Zhou Yuanhang's left eyebrow bone. Before hitting, Lu Li left some force on his hand. Even so, he still slid three feet away. "I'm cao! Lu Li, are you really hitting?"

"It's okay," Zhou Yuanhang pushed Cao Xun away and smiled, "It's okay, come again."

"master?"

"Get out!" Zhou Yuanhang was really a little overwhelmed. He was famous for fighting in the Jiashan Mine, but now he beat an outsider and spread it to the outside. He was a little in personnel and had so many workers in the mine, so he would also lose face!

His thin and dark body jumped on the spot a few times and rubbed his eyes with his hands. Although it still hurt, it did not hinder his vision. "Boy, come again!"

Lu Li said nothing, and still used the steps just now. Without waiting for him to approach, Zhou Yuanhang suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder. This time, the old man was happy. Lu Li held the back of his hand, and his body turned down, and he pulled a horse on the spot on the slippery sand and stone floor! Zhou Yuanhang's hand was trapped by him, and his body unconsciously bent down with his movements, knowing that it was going to be broken!

Sure enough, Lu Lideli didn't let anyone take his hand, and he loosened one of his wrists, retracted one of his legs, and turned around to wrap Zhou Yuanhang, twisted his waist, and threw the old man out! "Master?"

"Okay, okay." Zhou Yuanhang realized at this time that he was indeed no match for this little guy. He smiled and supported Cao Xun and stood firm. "Good boy, he really has a good kung fu. Who did you learn from?"

"This,... are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Mom is so stupid. I haven't fought with anyone for many years. It's really not possible. When I was in the army, I was like this, and I beat three at one time! It's still right that our old company commander said. This kind of boxing is afraid of being strong at a young age, and it's impossible not to accept old age."

Lu Li regretted the other party's open-mindedness, "Master... Master, you?"

"It's okay, I'm really okay. I'm an old man, why are you lying to you? Are you acting as a hero? Go in, drink, and then drink!

******************************************

After staying in Leizhuang for two days, Cao Xun accompanied them around, but to be honest, there was nothing fun here. Mountain Jia had been blown into a barren mountain, and there was no sign of vegetation at all. And every morning, the house was covered with sand and stone powder, and he couldn't hide anywhere. "Little brother, let's go back early? I feel so choked here."

"Okay." Lu Li didn't want to stay longer. The work in the mine was no better than the fields, and there was no rest day all year round. Moreover, Cao Xun is becoming more and more expert now. Many times, he, who feels sorry for his master, would rush to work and not have so much time to accompany them.

"Let's go?" Cao Xun sighed, and he felt regretful, "Lu Li, the same thing, you are so good, my buddy, thank you!"

"Um?"

Cao Xun smiled and patted his shoulder, "I received a letter from my house. I know you are going to buy coal for them. As a son, I am not as filial to them as a couple... Forget it, let's see if there is anything."

"You're here again this year...my, go back together?"

"Maybe it will take a few days later than last year, but it is certain to leave with you." Cao Xun said: "Then, I won't send you off. See you again before the New Year."

Lu Li looked at Xu Yunjian and others climbing onto the tractor, and suddenly stopped Cao Xun, "Hey, are you... smoking now?"

"Sometimes I smoke, but I don't have much, and I'm not addicted to it. Why do I do?"

"Cao Xun, you... I think the work in this mine is not very good. I have seen many people these days, not too old, and they are panting in the aisle. I'm going to tell you, I think your master is the same... The old man and I have a few moves, and they are panting very hard. I wonder, could this environment be bad for the lungs?"

"What's not good for lungs? My master drinks and smokes, and there are many people in the mine. It's okay. They're all smoking. Look at me, aren't it okay?"

Luli felt that he had some problems with his words, but he couldn't say anything, "Then, are you going to continue doing this?"

"Or what else can it be? Let me tell you, why didn't I go back to do farm work anymore, I'm here for the first month and didn't exhaust me to death! At that time, I thought, if I could avoid this day facing the loess and the sky, I would never come back!"

"Well, okay," Luli had to nod, "We're leaving, and see you in the Merchant Lin."

Note 1: It is famous for people in Northeast China to eat a large amount of salt every day. Even in the current rural areas of Northeast China, it is still the same, which has also caused a shortage of life expectancy. The author once invited a visitor from Northeast China at home. I remember it very clearly that it is difficult to calculate the amount of salt added to fried cashew celery. Anyway, that dish tastes like a nightmare for others. But in the mouth of the guests, I only got a comment that "Well, it's similar to ours."
