Yan Liqiang stood up and saluted to the old man of the Lu family, "Hello, Mr. Lu..."
"Mr. Yan, please take a seat. Please take a seat. You're welcome. Hahaha..." Mr. Lu was in a good mood. After politely inviting Yan Liqiang to take a seat, he sat down in the main seat next to Yan Liqiang. "If Mr. Yan hadn't performed the magic to save the day today, my beloved grandson would have been separated from me today. I don't know how many people in my family will be heartbroken as I send off my son. Mr. Yan's kindness to the Lu family today will definitely be remembered by the Lu family. This one thousand taels of gold is a small token of the Lu family's appreciation. Please don't refuse it, Mr. Yan!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
"No thanks, no thanks, it is I who should thank you. The life of a person in our Lu family is not something that can be compared to a mere handful of gold and silver. Hahahaha..."
At this time, Yan Liqiang did not pretend to be cool. His father was still working as a blacksmith at home and living frugally. Facing the wealth in front of him, if he pretended to be noble and sought fame here while letting his father eat pickles there, wouldn't he be worse than pigs and dogs? What kind of reputation can a person who can ignore his own parents have
However, the one thousand taels of gold from the Lu family was indeed a large sum of money, a huge sum that Yan Liqiang had never had in his previous life or in this life. To improve the conditions of his family, he did not need so much gold. Moreover, this time he had established a connection with the Lu family, and made the Lu family owe him a favor. This relationship could not be compared with a mere piece of gold. There is a saying that goes, power cannot be used up, and blessings cannot be enjoyed to the fullest. When power is exhausted, disaster will come, and when blessings are exhausted, one will be alone. These are all true sayings.
Just now I was pulling the cart with my head down, but now it is time to look up at the road.
In Yan Liqiang's eyes, Mr. Lu at this moment was just like the super big clients he met in his previous life. The relationship with the Lu family must be maintained well, and it would be right to take a long-term view.
"Grandpa Lu, although I did my best today, it is also because of the great blessings of Grandpa's grandson and the Lu family, and the blessing of God, that the gods taught me the method of treatment in my dreams. I guess they just wanted to use me to do this. My own contribution is really insignificant..."
As Yan Liqiang spoke, he observed the expression of the old man of the Lu family. As he expected, when he heard what Yan Liqiang said, the old man's face flushed and he looked very happy. He felt comfortable no matter how he heard Yan Liqiang's words. By the way, he liked Yan Liqiang more and more.
"Mr. Yan is too modest!" Mr. Lu stroked his beard. "There are billions of people in this world, so why didn't the god send his message to other people instead of Mr. Yan? This shows that Mr. Yan is a blessed person and has a connection with the Lu family. Otherwise, our housekeeper wouldn't have happened to meet Mr. Yan when he arrived in Shiqiao Town. This is God's will!"
"Mr. Lu is right!" Yan Liqiang smiled and shook his head, "But this gold is too much for me. I only need half of it. If I ask for too much, it would be greedy and I would feel guilty!"
Not only Mr. Lu, but even the housekeeper Lu who was accompanying him was stunned when he heard that Yan Liqiang only wanted half of the gold. You know, in this world, an ordinary family can't save up 100 taels of gold in a lifetime. Faced with such wealth, Yan Liqiang, a 14-year-old boy, was able to remain calm and took the initiative to push for half of the benefits. This half is 500 taels of gold...
"Mr. Yan said he only wants half?" Mr. Lu looked at Yan Liqiang with a strange look, as if he wanted to confirm whether Yan Liqiang was talking nonsense just now.
"Half is enough indeed..." Yan Liqiang sighed, "When I was eating just now, I saw the table full of dishes and thought of my father working hard at ironwork every day and living frugally. I couldn't help crying. With these 500 taels of gold, I can just go home and buy hundreds of acres of land to prepare some assets for my family and provide for my father's retirement. It also allows my father to live a leisurely life without having to work hard in the workshop every day. My family is just a small household. My father and I depend on each other for survival. Our daily expenses are not high. 500 taels of gold is the maximum. If I have more money, it will probably be a disaster rather than a blessing!"
A fourteen-year-old boy could say such words and have such insight. Mr. Lu's eyes changed when he looked at Yan Liqiang. He stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then nodded slowly, "It's rare that Master Yan is so filial and has such insight. This gold was originally a token of gratitude from the Lu family to Master Yan. If Master Yan's family is coveted by bad people because of this token of gratitude, it would be something I don't want. It seems that I was indeed inconsiderate!"
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Lu!" Yan Liqiang bowed to Mr. Lu.
Sometimes this wealth is like the cargo on a ship. For an individual, the more the better. The key is whether one's vision and ability can bear it. Some large ships can carry hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of tons without any problems. Some small ships will sink immediately if you put a ton of weight on them. This 1,000 taels of gold may not be a big deal for the Lu family, but for ordinary people, this wealth is too big and ordinary people may not be able to afford it.
"Is Mr. Yan also practicing martial arts?" Mr. Lu asked another question.
Yan Liqiang nodded.
"Mr. Yan, have you ever heard of Song Tianhao, the owner of the Dragon Flag Martial Arts School in Pingxi City?"
"Of course I have heard of it. Master Song of the Dragon Flag Martial Arts School in Pingxi City is a famous warrior and master in the county. I heard of Master Song's reputation when I was a child in Qinghe County. I heard that Master Song has a secret method that can allow martial artists to pass the horse stance test after several years of hard training!"
Old Master Lu laughed and squinted at Yan Liqiang, "Not bad, not bad. Master Song has a secret method of Hunyuan Posture and can also refine a unique elixir, Yangyuan Pill. Warriors who practice horse stance, as long as they cooperate with Master Song's Hunyuan Posture and Yangyuan Pill, and work hard for a few years, they can break through the horse stance. After passing this level, the next level of stretching bones will not be difficult. As long as you can work hard, you can pass it. After passing these two levels, as long as you have the opportunity and qualifications, it is possible to open up the Dantian and successfully build the foundation to become a warrior. Naturally, it will be no problem to rise to prominence in the future. My Lu family has known Master Song for many years and has a good relationship. Many of the children in the family have also worshipped Master Song as their teacher. If Master Yan is willing, my Song family is willing to arrange for Master Song to accept Master Yan as his apprentice and carefully teach him Hunyuan Posture. The supply of Yangyuan Pill is also guaranteed. The Song family dare not say about other things, but as long as Master Yan can endure hardships and work hard for a few years, he will definitely be able to pass the horse stance, and there may be hope of advancing to a warrior in the future..."
Yan Liqiang knew that this was the Lu family's way of expressing their gratitude to him in disguise. To take Song Tianhao as a disciple would require at least 100 taels of gold, and it was the first time that Yan Liqiang had heard of the Yang Yuan Pill, so it was estimated that the price would not be cheap.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lu, but I have already passed the horse stance test, so there is no need for me to take Master Song as my master!"
"What?" Mr. Lu and Butler Lu were really surprised, even a little shocked. For ordinary people, if they could pass the Horse Stance Test at the age of eighteen, they would be considered young talents. Yan Liqiang was only a few years old, only fourteen or fifteen years old. How could he pass the Horse Stance Test? This was too amazing.
From the time Yan Liqiang came to the Lu family until now, neither of them could see that Yan Liqiang had passed the horse-stepping test. If that were the case, both of them would have to reevaluate the young man in front of them.
Mr. Lu's eyes flashed, and after carefully looking at Yan Liqiang for a few times, he suddenly stretched out a hand above the coffee table between the two of them, "I am really curious, Mr. Yan, can you try your strength with me?"
After passing the horse stance test, the tendons in a person's legs are as strong as dragons, and the power comes from the feet. The whole person's waist and horse are united as one. Even if the person does not move, the power from the feet, waist and back can be transmitted to the hands, allowing the hands to have enormous striking power and explosive power within a very short distance, generating inch power. What Mr. Lu mentioned as testing the power was to test the inch power generated by Yan Liqiang after he passed the horse stance test.
"Of course..." Yan Liqiang smiled and stretched out one of his hands on the coffee table between the two of them, approaching Mr. Lu's palm and stopping at a distance of two fingers, about an inch.
The two palms were so close together that one could faintly feel the heat emanating from the other's palms.
"Mr. Yan, please!"
Mr. Lu is proud of his status, so he will not take the initiative to attack Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang was not polite either. He used 40% of his strength to hit Mr. Lu's palm.
A muffled sound was heard in the room. Mr. Lu did not move at all. Yan Liqiang also smiled and withdrew his hand.
“Good… good… good…” Mr. Lu was a little excited. After retracting his palm, he said three good words in a row. “I didn’t expect that Master Yan would pass the horse stance test at such a young age. In the whole Huanglong County, there are not many people who can pass this test at Master Yan’s age in the past few decades. Master Yan must be a martial arts genius!”
"Mr. Lu, you are too polite. I am just lucky. By the way, I wonder if the doctors hired by the Lu family are still in the mansion?"
"Hahaha, of course those doctors are still in the mansion and have not left. At this moment, they are scratching their heads and anxiously want to ask Master Yan for a way to save people. But Master Yan, don't worry. The way Master Yan saves people today will be kept secret by my Lu family!"
As the saying goes, one trick is enough to make you successful. If Yan Liqiang didn't spread his method today, he would be able to make a living by saving drowning people. Not to mention the ponds and rivers in Huanglong County, in every village and town, there would be several people drowning every summer, not to mention other places.
"Please ask Mr. Lu to call those doctors over here. I want to talk to them for a few words!"
Although he didn't know what Yan Liqiang wanted to do, Mr. Lu glanced at Butler Lu, and Butler Lu went to make arrangements.
When the doctors arrived at the Peony Hall, the gold in the hall had already been collected by Steward Lu.
Seeing Yan Liqiang again, the doctors were a little excited.
But before the doctors could speak, Yan Liqiang spoke directly, "I know what the doctors want to ask. After rescuing a drowning person, first aid should be given, such as turning the person upside down to spit out the water, pushing the chest to the lungs, and breathing. If these first aid methods are useless, as long as the drowning has not lasted more than one night, there is hope of rescue. The method of saving people is simple, which is to use moxibustion on the Shenque point, which is the navel. This method was taught to me by a god in a dream. Now in front of Mr. Lu, I will teach this method to the doctors. I hope that the doctors can also use this method to show compassion and do more good deeds..."
Hearing Yan Liqiang directly mention the secret method of saving lives, some of the doctors were shocked, and some fell into deep thought. Yan Liqiang then turned his head and looked at the old man of the Lu family, "Old Master Lu, this method of saving lives is not mine. I can have such a dream, probably because the gods can't bear to see the ruthless rivers and streams, and want to use me to publicize this method and save more people. The Lu family doesn't need to keep this secret for me, you can teach this method to the neighbors everywhere, the more people know the better!"
Mr. Lu was also somewhat moved by Yan Liqiang's decision. "Please rest assured, Mr. Yan, my Lu family has received this favor and will definitely spread this method to benefit the neighbors..."
