Chapter 324: Name the master and accept the disciple?

After returning to the steel rolling mill, Li Kailang had to continue his tasks and did not complete today's tasks until he got off work.

"Ding-ling-ling--" Workers walked out of the steel mill in a large crowd.

"I'm really tired today. There are so many things to do that I don't even have time to rest. I know there are still a lot of things to do. Sigh."

A worker was walking and pounding his shoulders with his hands.

"Yeah, that's enough, don't worry about it. We haven't been to work for two days, so we should have a good rest. It's okay to be tired. It's all right."

"That's true. I'm so tired today. I have to eat meat when I get home. Otherwise, my body won't be able to handle it."

Everyone chatted and went home, and Li Kailang also returned home.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Li Kailang entered the planting space to look for the leopard cats.

"These little ocelots are sleeping so soundly."

Li Kailang saw the four leopard cats on the bed. The noise of him coming over did not wake up the three little leopard cats.

What Li Kailang didn't know was that after these little leopard cats entered the planting space, they started to play wildly after getting familiar with the place for a while.

They were having a lot of fun chasing and playing in the field, catching corn, poop, digging holes, etc. Finally, they saw the "food" in the livestock field and wanted to rush in to grab it and eat it.

But there was an invisible barrier blocking them and they couldn't get in. After trying dozens of times and still failing, they could only accept their fate, but their little heads couldn't understand why they couldn't get in.

After trying it, they naturally felt hungry, but as soon as they felt hungry, the planting space would give them the processed chickens to eat.

Although it was not roast chicken, the extremely hungry leopard cats didn't mind and started eating the meat.

They are now in a state of having everything provided for them, which is so comfortable. It is much better than before when they had no idea where to eat and when they would go hungry one day.

"Meow~" The leopard cat mother heard the noise, looked up and found that it was Li Kailang, and called out in a tender voice.

"Ni Ni~" Li Kailang touched the leopard cat mother's head affectionately and fed her some spiritual spring water.

Then, looking at the bandaged hind leg, he felt relieved that it was recovering.

Li Kailang looked at the leopard cat mother who was rubbing her head against his palm. "Since we are in the planting space, we are a family. I have to give you a name."

The leopard cat mother tilted her head in confusion, not understanding what Li Kailang was saying.

Li Kailang thought about it seriously and said, "I've decided. From now on, you will be called Ni Ni. How about that?"

"Nini~"

The leopard cat mother still didn't understand what Li Kailang said, but she responded with a meow.

"Since you agreed, you will call me Ni Ni from now on." Li Kailang caressed her gently and called her Ni Ni twice.

While petting Ni Ni, Li Kailang looked at the three little leopard cats who were sleeping soundly. They were lying on their backs, not looking like cats at all.

"As for you, just call you Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao. These names are good, simple and clear." Li Kailang was being lazy.

Li Kailang did not forget what he had agreed with them in the morning and made cat bowls and beds for them.

Li Kailang planned to make it with wood. The cat bed was not difficult to make, as he only had to cut it into wooden boards. The cat bowl was a little more difficult, as it required a little carving.

When Li Kailang started to make the cat bed, he woke up three sleeping little leopard cats. They came over curiously to watch Li Kailang making the cat bed.

But after watching for a while, they got bored and ran off to the side to play and fight.

"No patience at all." Li Kailang shook his head helplessly.

Looking at the leopard cats playing and fighting in the distance, Li Kailang suddenly thought of something.

"When the planting space becomes larger in the future, maybe we can raise some animals in the space. With the planting space to help feed them, it won't be so tiring."

"Once the animals have multiplied, maybe we can open a zoo, an antique museum, an arsenal, and an aquarium."

With so many animals to feed, it was just a matter of words for Li Kailang, but the planting space was busy.

I am just a worker in the planting space. If the planting space could speak, I would definitely quit my job.

"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.

Li Kailang immediately left the planting space and shouted, "Who is it?"

When I opened the door, I saw Cui Yuan and Cui Gang standing outside.

"Brother Cui, Xiaogang, what's the matter?"

Cui Yuan patted Cui Gang on the shoulder and said, "Talk to Brother Li yourself."

Cui Gang's eyes were firm: "Brother Li, no, Master, I have decided, I want to learn Kung Fu from you."

"Hmm?" Li Kailang looked at Cui Gang in confusion, "What master? Xiaogang, you can't talk nonsense."

Cui Gang took it for granted: "Ah? Master, if you teach me Kung Fu, then I will take you as my master."

Li Kailang waved his hands repeatedly and explained: "No, that's not what I meant. I don't need to accept disciples to teach you kung fu, and you don't need to worship me as your master."

Cui Gang was puzzled: "Ah, how can this be possible? How can I learn Kung Fu without a master?"

Li Kailang said: "There is really no need to become a disciple."

Didn't you teach Zhang Ya the Crazy Dog Fist last weekend? Li Kailang returned to the yard and thought of Cui Gang, thinking that teaching one person is also teaching, so it would be fine to teach one more.

Cui Gang is a kind-hearted child and a good boy. There is no need to worry that he will do bad things after learning the Mad Dog Fist.

Cui Gang is a bit introverted, and he would just swallow his anger if he suffered a loss.

Li Kailang had a good relationship with the Cui family, so he naturally didn't want Cui Gang to be bullied outside and unable to resist. So he talked to Aunt Cui and Cui Yuan about teaching Cui Gang martial arts.

Naturally, the two of them were very accepting of this. After all, they had witnessed how powerful Li Kailang's martial arts were, and Cui Gang could protect himself after learning kung fu.

However, they did not agree directly, but went to ask Cui Gang for his opinion, and Li Kailang went back to wait for news.

The two asked Cui Gang for his opinion, and Cui Gang naturally agreed happily. He originally wanted to give Li Kailang an answer as soon as possible, but was delayed due to the heavy rain.

Cui Yuan and Aunt Cui thought that if Cui Gang and Li Kailang wanted to learn martial arts, they naturally had to become apprentices, which led to the scene at the beginning.

Li Kailang only intended to teach Cui Gang the Mad Dog Fist, with no special intention, so how could it escalate to the stage of becoming his disciple?

Cui Yuan agreed: "Yes, Xiao Li, your Bajiquan is so powerful. If you don't become my disciple, wouldn't Xiao Gang be stealing my skills?"

Li Kailang explained: "It's not Bajiquan, but another kind of unlimited defense technique. I taught Xiaogang this defense technique. You don't need to become my disciple for this."

Cui Yuan was puzzled: "Defense? This is also a kind of kung fu. Can I really learn it without a master?"

It was only after he became an apprentice that he was able to learn further knowledge of electrical engineering and had the help and guidance of his master and senior brothers.

Li Kailang: "You can learn it. The transport team originally planned to promote this defensive technique. All apprentices will learn it. They can't become apprentices, but at most they can become teachers."

"Yes, that's the teacher. This Kung Fu is not difficult to learn. You can get the essence of it by just watching it for a while. Did you two see the fight between Xu Damao and Sha Zhu?"

The two nodded. How could they not have seen such a big excitement?

"The moves Xu Damao used are basically the essence of this Kung Fu. Tell me how Xu Damao used it at that time."

Hearing this, Cui Gang thought for a moment, "Kick in the crotch?"

Li Kailang nodded heavily and patted Cui Gang on the shoulder. "Yes, just kick the crotch. My Kung Fu is all about dirty moves, such as eye poking, crotch kicking, and throat locking."

"Anyway, it's just a bunch of dirty tricks, hitting wherever the person is vulnerable. I just said that briefly, and you can almost get started with this self-defense technique."

After Li Kailang said this, the two of them understood most of what it meant.

All of these moves were despicable. Li Kailang didn't need to tell him. They were things that everyone would do when in danger. There was no need to learn them specifically.

Cui Gang nodded, "But, Master, aren't you revealing the secrets of Kung Fu by saying this?"

Li Kailang waved his hand nonchalantly: "What kind of secret is this? You'll know it almost exactly after just taking a look. Have you ever seen anyone's kung fu where you can learn the essence just by taking two looks?" Hearing this, the two shook their heads. They had also seen apprentices in the martial arts school practicing boxing, but they could only understand the moves, not the reasons behind the moves.

It is far from being as simple and clear as the Mad Dog Fist, which can be understood at a glance.

Cui Yuan asked worriedly, "Xiao Li, aren't you afraid that someone else might learn it secretly?"

Li Kailang sneered, "My defensive technique is easy to learn secretly, and you don't even need to learn it secretly. But its powerfulness is not the moves, but the mental method and the heart."

"Mind method and inner heart?" The two were puzzled.

Li Kailang went to the room to get the criminal law book and handed it to Cui Yuan, "This is the heart method of Kung Fu. Criminal law is the heart method. The more law books you read, the better your Kung Fu will be, and the stronger your heart will be."

Learning the moves of Mad Dog Fist is nothing. One has to learn the criminal law so that the two can be integrated and complement each other.

The mad dog boxer who does not learn the criminal law and just relies on his kung fu to show off and be aggressive must bear the consequences, just like Xu Damao.

Learn the mad dog fist of criminal law, dare to resist and protect yourself, instead of passively being beaten until you are beaten to death without knowing how to resist.

This is the difference of not studying criminal law, being able to do it instead of being ignorant and fearless.

Li Kailang added: "Only after you have learned the moves and mental methods, can you be strong in your heart and dare to publish a book to protect yourself. It is useless to just learn one."

The two of them were looking at the criminal law book. It was the first time they saw such a simple method. It was also strange that it could be bought at the Xinhua Bookstore.

Cui Yuan didn't say anything like, since Li Kailang has told Cui Gang about his moves and techniques, what should he do if Cui Gang doesn't learn them?

Since Li Kailang dared to say it so blatantly, he must have something to rely on. It is impossible for him to do such a thing as abandoning the donkey after it has done its work.

Cui Yuan patted Cui Gang on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Gang, hurry up and call the teacher. Since your brother Li has given us his secret method, we can't be ungrateful."

Hearing this, Cui Gang hesitated a little. He knew the meaning of teacher and master. Compared with a teacher, he wanted to be a disciple more.

He had seen Li Kailang beat up Sha Zhu, and Li Kailang's mighty aura was deeply imprinted in his heart.

If he could learn Li Kailang's kung fu, he would be able to protect his brother and grandmother and wouldn't be bullied anymore. He didn't want to be bullied anymore.

Cui Gang asked unwillingly, "Brother Li, can't I become your disciple?"

Looking at Cui Gang's determined eyes, Li Kailang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Cui Gang's eyes dimmed instantly and he was very disappointed.

Li Kailang patted Cui Gang on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Gang, it's not that you are not good. On the contrary, you are very good. It's just that I am not ready to accept you as my disciple yet."

Li Kailang is only 19 years old now. Although he lived for more than years in his previous life, his mental ability is not based on age.

He does not have the experience of a middle-aged man in his 40s, but still has the experience of a young man.

It is important for people to know themselves. Li Kailang knows himself well, but he is not yet capable of teaching apprentices.

For Li Kailang, taking in apprentices is a very troublesome thing and he is afraid of trouble.

After accepting Cui Gang as his apprentice, their relationship took a step further. As Cui Gang's master, Li Kailang not only had to answer his apprentice's questions and solve his doubts, but also had to establish correct outlooks on life, life and values.

More importantly, he needs to make good future plans for his apprentices and find ways out for them, which is exactly what Li Kailang cannot do at the moment.

Li Kailang couldn't do what Sha Zhu did. After accepting an apprentice, he would observe him for three years to temper his temper, and only teach him a little bit of cooking skills when he was in a good mood.

The master-apprentice relationship nowadays is similar to that of Sha Zhu, where they observe each other intentionally for a few years and then work for free for a few years.

Considering this, it would be better to be a teacher.

Cui Yuan looked at Li Kailang and patted Cui Gang comfortingly.

Cui Gang quickly calmed down. Although he failed to become Li Kailang's disciple, it was not bad to be Li Kailang's student.

Cui Gang bowed solemnly, "Teacher!"

Li Kailang patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be so serious. Just scream like you normally would, just like you're on the execution ground."

"Yes, teacher." Cui Gang insisted.

Seeing that his eyes were determined and no amount of persuasion would work, Li Kailang stopped trying to change his mind.

Cui Yuan: "By the way, Xiao Li, since Xiao Gang is your student, he has to pay the tuition."

"No need." Li Kailang waved his hand nonchalantly. He didn't teach Cui Gang for money.

Cui Yuan insisted, "This won't do. We can't break the rules. We can't let you teach for nothing. Besides, the book costs money, and there are other things. We can't let you spend money."

Li Kailang responded: "Okay, just pay three or five dollars, and I promise to teach Xiaogang the ropes."

Cui Yuan immediately took out 5 yuan and handed it to Li Kailang in front of Cui Gang.

Cui Yuan certainly knew that Li Kailang didn't need this little money, but he insisted on giving him the money so that Cui Gang would study hard.

After receiving the money, it is natural to do the work. Li Kailang looked at Cui Gang and said, "I will teach you the moves after the weekend. You should read the criminal law book these days."

"Read it carefully. I will examine your reading later. Don't underestimate this book."

"Okay, I understand, teacher." Cui Gang nodded heavily.

"If you pass the test, I'll prepare a gift for you."

"what gift?"

"You'll know when the time comes. Remember to take a good look. If you don't pass the inspection, you won't get any gifts."

"Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely watch it carefully."

"Okay, let's go back and take a look."

Hearing this, Cui Gang went home to read. The gift Li Kailang prepared for him was naturally a spatula, the same as Zhang Ya's.

After watching Cui Gang go back, Cui Yuan looked at Li Kailang and said, "Xiao Li, thank you. I'll trouble you to take care of Xiao Gang in the future."

Li Kailang waved his hand: "That's true. Xiaogang is a smart and hardworking person. I won't have much trouble. You taught him well."

"By the way, do you want to learn it too?"

Cui Yuan pointed at himself in confusion, "Me? Can I learn this even at this age?"

Li Kailang: "Look at what you said. How can we not learn? The old, weak, women and children can all learn. Why can't you, a young and strong person, learn?"

Hearing this, Cui Yuan was also somewhat tempted. How could he not be tempted to have a martial art to rely on?

Turning my head and looking towards home, I seemed to see Cui Gang reading the criminal law book.

Cui Yuan shook his head. "Forget it. It's enough for Xiaogang to learn it. When he learns it, he can protect me and grandma. There's no need for me to learn it."

Children from poor families have to grow up early. As Cui Gang’s brother, Cui Yuan couldn’t help but guess what he was thinking.

"Okay, if you don't want to learn it, just watch it more when you have time. You can learn it and more or less know some self-defense skills."

Cui Yuan nodded, chatted with Li Kailang for a few minutes and then left.

Li Kailang also returned to the room and continued what had just happened.

The cat bed and cat bowl are not ready yet, and two wooden stakes and two special spatulas for Cui Gang need to be made. The work suddenly becomes a lot.

Originally, we were going to give Xu Damao a wooden stake, and Li Kailang could take his time, but now we also have to carve one for Cui Gang.

Li Kailang originally wanted to be lazy and carve an ordinary wooden stake for Xu Damao, but now it is no longer possible.

"We are all from the same courtyard. We can't be too picky. Let's all carve human stakes."

Li Kailang started a new hard job. If the planting space could speak, Li would definitely say:
"Deserve it!!!"
