Chapter 148: Chapter 149 Can I Hire a Bodyguard Chapter 148: Chapter 149 Can I Hire a Bodyguard The man didn’t expect the girl to dare look at him, especially since he had waited for a long ti yesterday.
Just as he was about to step forward, he realized that Bai Zhi had already left.
It seed that she had only looked in this direction and didn’t recognize him.
Now he really couldn’t afford to startle the snake; whether the girl had stumbled upon him by mistake or not, he couldn’t take any rash actions.
Today, the man just wanted to confirm whether the girl had descended from the mountain. Now that he had seen her, he was sure.
Bai Zhi stared at the address; it took her a long ti to find that it was located in an alley behind the school, and moreover, at the very end, where there was only one way through.
She walked over and knocked directly on the door.
The door opened with a creak.
Bai Zhi entered and heard the sound of a television, most likely a traditional opera.
Upon entering, she saw an old man comfortably seated in a wicker chair; not far from him, a ceiling fan slowly stirred above his head. He also held a waterlon in his hand, truly enjoying a splendid daily lifestyle.
“Master, it’s ti for lunch.”
Bai Zhi took out a large bowl of braised rib rice from the basket, along with a smaller portion.
“Why isn’t it eight dishes and a soup?”
The old man frowned, sowhat displeased.
“We only have an hour and a half for lunch. Your expectations are too high. If you don’t want it, I’ll take it back.”
Bai Zhi was about to take it back as she spoke.
The old man grabbed her arm and imdiately shielded her in his embrace.
“That won’t do, let tell you, this is mine.”
The old man imdiately grabbed a spoon and started eating, relishing the perfect blend of ribs and rice.
Bai Zhi also sat down nearby.
“Master, I saw that man.”
Bai Zhi looked seriously at the old man; although she didn’t know why she would encounter them in the mountains, this man gave her a very dangerous feeling.
“Who? Hann Bing?”
The old man was taken aback and then rembered who Bai Zhi was talking about.
He put down his bowl, suddenly losing his indifferent deanor and becoming serious.
“You and those young ones co here after school this afternoon. I’ll start teaching you self-defense techniques.”
Bai Zhi’s eyes lit up, so soon?
“Really?”
She was sowhat surprised. “Is it the kind that can send people flying with one punch? Or the kind where you imdiately beco a boss after practicing?”
The old man sighed and put down his eating utensils sowhat reluctantly, then tapped Bai Zhi on the head with his hand.
“I’ve told you, stop dreaming. Why don’t you aim to fly to the skies?”
Bai Zhi rubbed her sowhat painful forehead, feeling quite frustrated. Clearly, many novels wrote about mastering incredible skills in a few days. Why didn’t it work for her?
“I wish it were possible, but didn’t you say it wasn’t? So what are we practicing this afternoon?”
Bai Zhi blinked, still sowhat hopeful.
“Horse stance.”
Bai Zhi: “…”
Really? Just that?
“How long do we have to practice it?”
Bai Zhi suddenly felt a bit dismayed.
“It depends. Let’s start with half a year.”
Bai Zhi: “…”
This must be a fake master, really just a fake master.
“I’m telling you, you have to master the basics first.”
“Oh,” Bai Zhi was sowhat downcast. It truly stung a bit.
“Don’t worry, I’m here. Hann Bing won’t dare hurt you. I’ll give you a few books; take a look at those herbs. I’ll teach you so self-defense dicine recipes.”
He certainly wouldn’t let the little girl get into trouble, otherwise how would he manage his future als? Without good food, he would feel that the world was not beautiful.
So for the sake of food, he had to protect the girl, right?
“Oh, okay.”
Bai Zhi felt she was no longer expectant.
“Hey, what is that expression? Do you know, this is my top secret. I am teaching it to you because I think highly of you, and because I want to eat… I wouldn’t even teach it to Moh Li.”
Moreover, a girl should always have so self-defense techniques, so that was why he intended to teach the little girl.
“Huh? What does Moh Li learn?”
Bai Zhi was actually a bit skeptical—could the old man be that generous?
Why hadn’t she noticed it?
“He…” the old man changed his tone, “learns dicine.”
Bai Zhi left the old man’s house at almost ten past one, literally running for her life.
After school, she took Bai Fei and Wu Wa to practice the horse stance.
It looked simple, but once you actually squatted down, you would find it extrely exhausting and shaky.
In less than ten minutes, Bai Fei could no longer endure it, her whole body trembling.
“Zhizhi, I can’t continue. Can we stop now?”
Why did she have to practice the horse stance?
She didn’t want to at all.
Wu Wa, on the other hand, felt nothing, as she had to squat every day at ho.
“Bai Fei, Ah Zhi, just hold on a bit longer. It feels uncomfortable at first, but if you keep it up, you will be able to endure longer in the future. Co on.”
“Is that so?” Bai Fei was sowhat hesitant; actually, she felt she could no longer hold on.
“I can’t keep up anymore.”
The mont Bai Fei stood up, she felt as if her legs didn’t belong to her anymore,
Wu Wa quickly helped her sit down, still quietly enduring herself.
The sweat on her forehead grew more abundant, and everything before her eyes seed increasingly blurry, but she couldn’t give up.
That man had already accepted Bai Yu and Bai Ye; if she didn’t work hard, she would fall behind.
The old man noticed it was almost six o’ clock, but Bai Zhi had no intention of cooking yet, so he directly spoke up.
“That’s enough; how are you supposed to study tomorrow? You must asure your efforts—I’ve already said that you can’t rush this.”
At this mont, Bai Zhi was sweating like rain; as she tried to stand, she involuntarily fell backwards, but Wu Wa caught her in ti; she was even unsteady on her feet.
“Take this to wipe off, then change your clothes and co to cook. From now on, dinner will be prepared here.”
The old man handed her a bottle of dicinal wine before turning around to continue watching TV.
This girl was getting a bit too impatient. Of course, he wouldn’t admit that it was because he wanted to eat.
As they applied the dicinal wine, Bai Zhi and Bai Fei doubted their life choices, but the effect was excellent; at the very least, they were able to walk again.
“Where did you guys go? I just ca back and couldn’t find you.”
Just as she was about to leave, Bai Xiang returned.
Seeing him only then, Bai Zhi’s eyes sparkled as she smiled and spoke.
“We went to the master’s place to cook; you should co over too, you can learn self-defense techniques.”
Bai Xiang shook his head vigorously, “No, I’m sure it’s exhausting.”
He didn’t need Kung Fu; that was all a scam.
“Cousin, you should think about it. If you are very wealthy in the future and soone wants to kidnap you, wouldn’t it be much better if you knew Kung Fu?”
They were all trying so hard; there was no reason for her cousin not to make an effort.
“When the ti cos, I’ll hire bodyguards. I’ll hire a dozen.”
Bai Xiang said it was not a problem—as long as you have money, nothing is a problem. Why should he suffer himself?
That was completely unnecessary.
Just like in the books, hiring bodyguards would be so impressive.
“But hiring bodyguards costs money too.”
