Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 113 Guess the Apprentice's Future Weapon

She took off the cloth bundle from her body, took out two items from inside, and placed them in Ahua's hands.

Ahua instinctively pushed it back, opened her mouth to look at her, then looked at Lin Lanshan, unsure of what to do.

"Hurry up, it's almost time for martial arts practice. If you come back late, you'll fall behind," Lin Chunyi reminded her with a smile.

"I'll go put the things away right away and be right back." Practicing martial arts is the most important thing; I can't hold anyone back!

She ran inside, then turned back, hugged her things, bowed to thank them, and left.

When the three martial arts students returned, they stood in the courtyard. Lin Chunyi told them to practice what they had learned that morning again.

Just like in the morning, the two of them had to take a sip of water and continue training every so often, less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Half an hour later, they taught us new moves and we continued practicing.

……

A gentle evening breeze blew by, making the two sisters, who had been sitting on the steps all afternoon, feel a chill.

The sun had already set; it was time for them to go home.

"Alright, that's enough for today. It's getting dark, we need to go back." Lin Lanshan said, putting down her cup. Then she stood up and stretched her stiff body.

Yang Yu stepped forward, hoping they would stay for dinner. "Master, Second Master, please have dinner before you leave."

Ashu and Ahua also said words of urging her to stay.

"No, the road will be difficult to walk on after dark. Maybe next time."

The two sisters were always efficient and decisive. After speaking, they called Peach over and jumped onto its back.

After Lin Chunyi sat down, she said to the three people who had followed them to the entrance of the mountain path:

"You need to practice horse stance, run laps, and boxing every day. But you can spend less time on these things these next few days."

I don't know when it will get colder. Your most important task right now should be to build a thick and high wall around the back of the courtyard!

We'll come every two weeks. If it snows or rains, we'll postpone it for a few days until the weather clears up. You don't need to wait every day.

"I've got it! Master, Second Master, please take care."

"Sister Lanshan, Sister Chunyi, we will also work hard!"

"Alright, no need to see us off anymore, go back now. Hurry up and fix the fence, so next time we come, we don't just walk into a huge open space. We're leaving!"

After Lin Lanshan finished speaking, the two of them turned around and headed up the mountain path, disappearing from their sight.

Peach spent the whole day cooped up in the thatched shed and probably hasn't recovered yet; she's feeling lethargic going up the mountain.

The two sisters didn't rush them and started chatting while sitting on its back.

"Sis, let's watch them practice martial arts today. I just remembered something, and it's quite important."

"What's wrong?" Lin Chunyi asked, puzzled.

Lin Lanshan said very seriously, "We don't need to worry about Ashu and Ahua, and they probably won't need them anyway."

But Yang Yu, he needs to learn how to use weapons. It won't work if he's always fighting empty-handed.

But we'll be the two different things.

What if he says he wants to learn how to use some weapon, and we say we don't know how? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing!

"..." Lin Chunyi imagined the scene in her mind and felt that what her sister said made a lot of sense, so she said:

"Now that we're masters, we definitely need to save face. But we can't possibly learn all eighteen weapons, can we? We don't have that much free time."

The two were a little worried, in case Yang Yu really asked about learning weapons later.

How can they tell him, while saving face, that they won't?

After becoming a master, I inexplicably feel that my reputation is more important than before... If they didn't have any apprentices, and someone asked them this question, they would simply say: "I don't know, I won't teach, goodbye!"

Lin Lanshan suddenly said excitedly, "Sister, how about we try out some other weapons sometime?" She seemed quite eager to try.

"What weapon?"

"Swords, spears, knives, and clubs, you know a little about the commonly used weapons and how to use them. At least we can save face when he asks."

He can't possibly learn something too obscure, like a hook, fork, halberd, or something like that...

Judging from his appearance, I couldn't imagine it. I'd guess a sword is the most likely candidate, followed by a gun or a knife!

Lin Lanshan made a very firm decision about her apprentice's future choices.

Lin Chunyi thought about the weapons described in the book repeatedly and felt that there was no problem with them.

So he decided, "Okay, we've got nothing to do in winter anyway. Let's carve two wooden swords and give it a try!"

They didn't have any sword manuals; they relied entirely on the "Complete Weapon Encyclopedia." After all, that's how they learned the nine-section whip and dual swords...

Speaking of winter, she added, "Lanshan, it's probably going to be especially cold this year."

We need to step up our work a bit more lately, hunt some game, stockpile the meat, and process more furs.

After the first frost, the Japanese jujubes need to be picked. Then comes the wild jujubes and chestnuts.

Oh, and the autumn potatoes should be planted too, followed by cabbages and radishes. There are so many…”

After listening to her sister's words, Lin Lanshan felt as if she had been split into two people.

She said sadly, "Today, after we came down the mountain, we were still our stern and domineering master. But once we get home, tomorrow we'll be back to being oxen and horses again. Sigh..."

"There's no other way, it's just the two of us in the family who can do the work. If you don't want to work, that's easy too, we don't lack money anyway. Why don't you move to town?"

"Buy a few maids and servants, they can take care of everything from your clothes to your meals, do you want to go?" Lin Chunyi teased.

She shook her head frantically, indicating her refusal, "...Then forget it, I don't want to move out, I just like living in these mountains."

There are no outsiders, no one to cause trouble or interfere, hey~ life is completely free and I can live however I want.

When we're tired and don't want to work anymore, we'll lie down and rest for a couple of days. When we're energetic again, we'll go hunt some game and pick some sweet berries. Hahaha.

This retirement life is so enviable! Why would I need to move? I'll never move in my life!

It's tiring, but it's all for their own good, so they can have a better life. It's what I should do!

"Right, we should be content with our current life. We'll be busy until winter comes, and then we'll have prepared everything for the winter."

We'll be able to rest for several months, and you'll be so bored you'll be restless.

In fact, they are already used to and quite satisfied with their current lives.

In the vast valley, there were only the two of them, along with a few non-speaking pets. Their life was peaceful, free, and joyful.

Lin Chunyi patted Taozi's back and said gently, "Taozi, hurry back. Tuanyuan and Ankang are still waiting for us to come home."

"Ugh!" Charge!

"Let's go home!" Lin Lanshan couldn't help but shout.

The two men and the mule, using the last orange light, galloped towards home.

When they got home, Tuanyuan and Ankang were already asleep in their respective beds, not waiting for them...

One morning in early October.

The weather was sunny, and the two sisters were about to do something very important that they had been talking about for almost a year!
