In general, Xia Leiming is a standard "turtle".
The meaning of the turtle is that he was born in the wilderness, or simply, he is a ignorant and ignorant person born in the mountains.
For example, he likes meat every meal, and his best talents are chopping wood and hunting, and until he was sixteen years old, he still thought that the most beautiful woman in the world was the one in town with a doll and a wine barrel around her waist. Such a thick aunt Sofia who sells vegetables, even though she is already the mother of two children.
And his name: Xia Leiming.
This name seems to have a bit of Oriental mystery, but in fact, when Xia Yaleiming was three years old, he didn't have a name yet. One day, the old man got drunk and patted his head, thinking of his responsibilities as a father. Looking up at the sky, it happened to be summer, and it happened to be thundering. So, Xia Yaleiming has his own name...
From this, you can imagine how irresponsible this father is. Fortunately, the day when the name was named was only a thunderstorm. If it was a hailstorm or a sandstorm... Maybe he could only burrow into a certain cave with a name like "Spring Sandstorm" or "Winter Hailstorm" and live in shame for the rest of his life.
At the same time, Xia Leiming's vulgarity is also reflected in the fact that he believes that burlap is better and more durable than silk - of course, a very important reason is that Xia Leiming is too poor to buy silk. You can understand this mentality as the sour grape mentality of not eating grapes.
Of course, one of the most important reasons why he is poor is that most of his hunting income will be consumed to exchange wine for the old guy - the old guy is Xia Leiming's father, but when he was eight years old, Xia Yaleiming knew that this old guy was not his biological father at all: although he was not too old at the age of eight, he at least knew some common sense. At least, genetically speaking, this old guy with blue eyes, It is absolutely impossible to give birth to a son with black eyes.
So, after the age of eight, he refused to call the old guy "Dad" again.
As for Xia Yaleiming's life experience, the old guy can't tell. In his words: "On a dark and windy night many years ago, my old man was barbecuing in the wild, and just after roasting a pheasant, he turned around the big tree to urinate, and when he came back, he saw your boy. Lying by my fire with only half of a roasted drumstick left. You know when I saw a tiny little guy holding a half-eaten drumstick, the first thought that came to my mind What is it?"
Every time he talks about this, the old guy will shake his head twice on purpose, and then look at Xia Yaleiming with contempt: "What I'm thinking of is... You kid, you can eat at such a young age, you will definitely be able to eat in the future. Eat Laozi poor!"
By the way, the old guy is an old alcoholic, and Xia Leiming is a little alcoholic. The reason for this phenomenon is that when Xia Yaleiming was a child, he cried very hungry one time, this shameless old guy actually took wine to give the little guy to eat in order to be lazy. As a result, before the little guy was weaned, the old guy started the alcoholic training program. This reason makes the little guy's drinking increase extremely terrifying. When he was thirteen years old, the old guy couldn't drink him anymore. It also made it impossible for this poor family to support two massive alcoholics at the same time two years ago, so the old guy shamelessly announced the prohibition on Xia Leiming.
By the way, one of the things that Xia Yaleiming is most proud of is: chopping wood.
But this was also an important reason why he despised the old guy.
The reason is that the old guy always boasted that he was a well-known swordsman on the mainland back then, but Xia Yaleiming never saw the old guy use a sword in his life. In fact, they didn't have a sword at home either. Of all the things in the house, the closest thing to a sword in terms of shape was the black fire fork that was thrown into the hearth.
When they were a little older, boys always liked to dance and get guns. As a result, Xia Yalei listened to the old guy's self-bragging, expressing that he wanted to learn martial arts from the old guy. At first, the old guy was taking airs, but he couldn't stand Xia Ya. Lei Ming's soft and hard bubbles finally reluctantly agreed, and thus began a miserable life that lasted for more than ten years.
It's just a matter of standing and carrying water to boil the muscles and bones. As for taking a bath with an herbal medicine that smells so bad that it can directly knock people out, Xia Yaleiming has also endured it.
What he hated the most was that the old guy clearly claimed to be a master of kendo, but he refused to teach himself how to use the sword!
There used to be a down-and-out roving poet who came to the tavern in the town and told the legendary stories of several famous swordsmen on the continent. At that time, the young Xia Lei Ming was so fascinated by it that he dreamed of those arrogant and noble people in the story. Like a swordsman, his white clothes are like snow, his dark clothes are like iron, he carries a sharp long sword, and rejoices in his grievances... How cool is that!
But the old guy claimed to be a master of kendo, but the only weapon he taught Xia Leming to use was: an axe!
Don't get me wrong, it's not the battle axe or axe gun used by the legendary masters.
It is the kind of six copper plates sold in the blacksmith shop in the town.
As for how well axe skills are trained, Xia Yaleiming doesn't know. The old guy once said that the axe skills he taught Xia Yaleiming actually followed the path of Pu Guizhen. Generally, people who use an axe usually pay attention to accuracy and ruthlessness, but the old man said to Xia Yaleiming: When you can practice a "smart" character with an axe, you will be home.
Accurate and ruthless, Xia Yaleiming knows what it means. When he was thirteen years old, he could chop off the tail of a running rabbit with an axe at a distance of fifty paces.
However, it is a matter of opinion on how to practice "Qiao". At least, according to what the old man said, he had to carve a chrysanthemum on the tofu with an axe that weighed more than 20 kilograms - this is obviously to make things difficult for people.
In fact, Xia Yaleiming has always been a little skeptical of the axe skills that the old guy taught him, because the whole content of his daily practice is: chopping wood, cutting tofu, and cutting the belly of the hunted prey, dividing the tendons, removing the meat and cutting the bones.
Although he had doubts in his heart, he had practiced this "axe skill" for ten years. He practiced very diligently, but every time he practiced, the old man would not comment. At most, he would hold a wine bottle and squat beside him while drinking. There was no admiration or dissatisfaction in his eyes, and he was always drunk and blinded.
It wasn't until more than a year ago, before the old man died of illness, that he finally opened his mouth to evaluate his adopted son's martial skills. However, what he said at that time made Xia Yaleiming think about it for three days and couldn't be sure whether the old guy was praising himself or scolding himself in a different way - he himself doubted the second guess. Because the old guy wanted to drink when he was finally sick in bed, Xia Yaleiming refused this request considering the old guy's health - also because the family was so poor that they couldn't open the pot.
This probably caused the old guy's indignation.
Well, that's what the old guy said before he died.
At that time, he looked at his adopted son with a complicated look, and sighed: "It's so fucking creative that my set of 'kill a thousand troops' can be trained like this by you - after I die, You are not allowed to touch the axe, any other swords, swords and sticks are fine, but you are not allowed to touch the axe, lest I die without resting my eyes."
