First, bend your head, waist, and hips, so that your back forms a backward arch, then raise your head, hips, and chest.

Let the spine flow one segment at a time, from bending backward to bending forward, and repeat this cycle over and over again.

Martial arts training can greatly improve the flexibility and agility of the spine, and also has a certain effect of tempering the spinal cord.

Ordinary people can stay away from some diseases and improve their physical fitness by exercising regularly.

Jiang Weichen was drinking tea and reading nearby. After Chunhua finished thirty sets, he asked, "Chunhua, how are your meridian acupoints doing?"

Chunhua replied, "Brother, I have memorized all the meridians, but I haven't memorized some of the acupuncture points yet."

After saying this, fearing that Jiang Weichen would be disappointed and blame him, he quickly added: "Brother, I will try my best to remember it as soon as possible."

Jiang Weichen shook his head and said, "No rush, take your time, you are only seven years old."

A year later, although Chunhua became more confident, he had experienced hardships after all.

Although she lives a good life now, she always lives cautiously.

Even though Jiang Weichen had never scolded her in the past year, she was always worried and afraid that if she made Jiang Weichen unhappy one day, she would lose her current life.

Every time Jiang Weichen asked about her learning and cultivation progress, she would add that she would work hard, for fear that Jiang Weichen would be disappointed or dissatisfied.

In fact, Jiang Weichen never asked her for anything. Even if she said she didn't want to practice martial arts, Jiang Weichen would agree.

At most, I would explain the interests to her, but I would not force her to practice martial arts.

Although warriors are superior to ordinary people and are envied by ordinary people, only they themselves know the bitterness behind it.

Teaching Chunhua martial arts is just to enable her to protect herself. If she doesn't want to practice, then forget it.

But Chunhua will not refute now, and Jiang Weichen doesn't know what she is thinking.

No matter what Jiang Weichen told her to do, she did it as if she had no thoughts of her own.

Over the past year, she was arranged to learn to read and write with the young men who joined the alliance. Being called "Miss" by everyone in the gang only made her feel less inferior.

But the changes were not significant, and Jiang Weichen had no choice but to wait until she was older and arrange for her to manage the store so that she could get some proper exercise.

Chapter 142 Going home for the New Year

"I'm going out in a couple of days, so you can spend the Spring Festival in the gang with Xiaolian and the other gang members who haven't gone home yet.

There is no need to practice during this period."

Jiang Weichen closed the book in his hand and said to Chunhua.

Chunhua felt a little disappointed, but didn't dare to ask more questions. She replied weakly, "Yes, big brother."

Jiang Weichen planned to go back to Xinghua Village to ask his second uncle and his family if they were willing to move.

Secondly, I also wanted to see whether Tianxiao had completed the foundation building. Logically, he should have completed it, as it had been three years since I taught him the skills.

He also had more than a thousand taels of silver left, so he could eat as much as he wanted without worrying about bankrupting his family.

I have secretly returned three times in the past three years, but never showed up. I just wanted to make sure they were okay.

……

Xinghua Village is shrouded in fog in winter, and visibility is extremely low.

The branches and woods were covered with ice crystals, and occasionally the sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking could be heard from the village.

Jiang Weichen led the horse along the path in the village, looking at the familiar scenes around him, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

There was not much change in the village. It was freezing cold and no one was wandering around outside.

Jiang Weichen went straight to the door of his former home. There were two or three adobe houses, but now there was a wall.

Jiang Weichen knocked on the door, and his second uncle Jiang Ershan opened the gate. Seeing Jiang Weichen dressed like a gangster, he was so scared that he quickly took a few steps back.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

Jiang Ershan recalled the death of his elder brother and sister-in-law, which was also caused by a gangster holding a long knife.

Although it was later discovered that it was the son of the ill-fated old man Liu from the Liu family who did it, he was also a man of the world.

He also witnessed with his own eyes his nephew Jiang Weichen slaughtering people in the Liu family, sparing no one, young or old, women or children.

From then on, he was somewhat afraid of people from the underworld.

Jiang Weichen took off the mask on his face and said, "Second Uncle, it's me."

He left Yangcheng in disguise and did the same when he returned to Xinghua Village.

Jiang Ershan looked at the familiar face and said, "Xiaochen, you're back? Why haven't you come back in three years?"

Without waiting for Jiang Weichen to answer, he continued, "He's grown taller, taller than me.

In the past few years, Tianxiao has grown very fast and eaten a lot.

They are way ahead of other children in the village."

Jiang Ershan was obviously very happy and started talking while standing at the gate of the yard.

But he was a man after all, so he didn't talk much. He stopped after a few words and said, "Come in quickly. Your second aunt is cooking in the house. We'll be able to eat soon."

"Okay, Uncle, I'll tie up the horse first."

Jiang Weichen walked into the yard and tied the horse in the shed next to the house.

When I walked into the house, Second Aunt Li Cuihua was kneading dough. When she saw Jiang Weichen, she stopped what she was doing, and was confused at first, and then surprised.

After a brief moment of daze, he said, "Xiaochen is back. Come and sit down. The food will be ready soon."

Three years later, Second Aunt no longer had the resentment she had before, but she was not as happy as Second Uncle.

After all, there is a layer of separation in between, there is no blood relationship, so they are never that close.

Jiang Weichen didn't mind Second Aunt's attitude and said with a smile, "I'll come and help too. I just bought some things from Yangcheng."

Jiang Weichen raised the big package in his hand. In addition to some gifts, there were also mutton, seafood, and some nourishing medicinal herbs.

I originally wanted to buy some beef for my second uncle Tianxiao and the others to try, but they are just ordinary people, so I gave up.

If they let something slip and get reported by others, it would only cause more trouble.

It is illegal for ordinary people to eat beef.

Only those restaurants and inns with connections dared to sell beef privately.

The laws of this world have always only constrained ordinary people.

Jiang Weichen took out the ingredients and then asked doubtfully, "Uncle and Aunt, where is Tianxiao?"

"He went hunting in the mountains with his elder brother. That kid is stronger than me now." Jiang Ershan said after closing the door.

After that, he said, “Of the ten or so young men the Liu family bought last time, more than half of them asked for some dry food and left.

There are a few left, and that kid Tianxiao keeps asking me to adopt one.

I thought that since we had more land at home and were short of labor, I adopted an eleven-year-old. He is now fourteen years old and I changed his name to Jiang Tianwang.

Jiang Weichen nodded. It was he who suggested this matter.

"How many are left now?" Jiang Weichen asked.

After the last incident with Zhou Xiaodie, Jiang Weichen guessed that these teenagers were probably the same batch that the Dark Night Pavilion had sold before, and their homes were probably not far away.

At that time, I decided to come back and ask to help them find their families.

“Alas, when the Liu family bought them, they were all around ten years old, and some were even thirteen. They should all remember their families.

After the Liu family was wiped out, they stayed in the village for a while and then left one after another.

There are only three left. I adopted one, the village chief's family adopted one, and Old Man Zhang at the village head adopted one."

Were they all adopted? Jiang Weichen immediately gave up the idea of ​​helping them find their families.

If they are not adopted and are just relying on the village for support, then we can help them find their families.

But if we help them find their families now, where will that leave the people in the village who kindly took them in?

I have helped the other two people, so do you want to help Jiang Tianwang, who was adopted by my second uncle?

If we look for her, wouldn't all the efforts of my uncle and aunt over the past three years be in vain?

If you don't look for it, it will leave a knot in his heart, so it's better not to look for it at all.

People are close or distant, and Jiang Weichen doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, not to mention that these affairs may harm the interests of his relatives.

Now that they have started a new life, Jiang Weichen has given up the idea of ​​helping them.

Half an hour later, crying sounds were heard from the inner room. Jiang Weichen, who was cooking medicinal food in a casserole, was stunned.

Looking at his second uncle who was sitting next to him, he smiled and said, "Last year, your second aunt got pregnant again. She was born during the spring plowing this year. It's a girl. We named her Jiang Meitian."

Jiang Weichen didn't expect to have another cousin, but his uncle and aunt were only around thirty years old, so it wasn't surprising.

It’s just a pity for Tianhe. If he were still alive, he would be almost five years old now.

In the evening, there was a noise outside the yard. Jiang Tianxiao shouted before entering the house: "Dad, Mom, my brother and I caught two wild rabbits and a pheasant."

Jiang Weichen opened the door and saw Jiang Tianxiao, who had grown a lot taller. Jiang Tianwang next to him was two years older than him, but was about the same height.

But he has a strong build and is a good material for farm work.

Jiang Tianxiao was stunned when he saw Jiang Weichen, and shouted, "Brother, you are back?

I also said that I would go to Yangcheng to see you after the Spring Festival?"

"You are not allowed to go. If you dare to go out, I will break your legs."

"That's right, Xiaochen, if you dare to take Tianxiao out, I, the Second Aunt, will not be able to survive."

Before Jiang Weichen could say anything, the voices of his second uncle and second aunt were heard.

Jiang Weichen smiled but said nothing.

With the busy work of the whole family, a large table of food was prepared, including farm dishes, seafood abalone made by Jiang Weichen, braised pork, shabu-shabu mutton, nourishing medicinal food, etc.

"Brother, do you usually eat so well?"

Jiang Tianxiao looked at the table full of delicacies from land and sea, and his mouth immediately began to water.

He has been eating very well in recent years, and he ate home-cooked meals in the past two years.
