The old man chatted with Ye Jiaqi and Xiao Zi for a while.

Only then did Ye Jiaqi know that Xiao Zi was picked up by him in the orphanage. Once when he went to the orphanage, Xiao Zi kept holding his clothes with both hands and refused to let go.

Later, the old man took her back to the training ground and became his first female apprentice.

Xiao Zi has a lively personality, is simple and innocent, and grew up among a group of boys, all of whom pampered and let her go.

She is not at all petty, her thoughts are not delicate enough, and she is often as careless as a boy.

She grew up in the training ground without any worries.

Among all the people, she was the closest to Meng Chen, always calling "Senior Brother Meng" behind him.

At that time, everyone in the training ground called her "Meng Chen's little follower", and she was not angry.

As Ye Jiaqi listened, he seemed to see a group of children in front of him.

Although she knows that most of the time at the training ground is bitter, there must be sweet moments.

"Later, I took on a few more female apprentices. They were all sent by wealthy families, and they were very arrogant." The old man put his hands behind his back and walked slowly, with a hoarse voice. "Xiao Zi was molested by them several times."

, and then became less talkative. In my heart, I regarded Xiao Zi as my daughter, and not long after, I sent those female apprentices away, not allowing them to bully Xiao Zi."

Ye Jiaqi listened quietly.

The old man suddenly sighed: "I can protect her for a while, but how can I protect her for a lifetime?"

"Xiao Zi...will be fine."

"When people bullied her since childhood, she didn't like to talk back or fight back. She was very kind and righteous. Ah Chen bullied her and called her stupid, so she loved to compete with Ah Chen and even always wanted to surpass Ah Chen in boxing and kicking skills.

Shen. In the past, no matter how much we competed, it was just a joke, but now, I'm afraid we will have to compete for a lifetime."

"Competition... probably because I like it."

The old man neither denied nor admitted, but just shook his head: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. I don't know when I can see Xiao Zi. In these years, Si Nian and A Chen have been in the capital, and she is the only one who has always been with me.

During holidays, she would chat with me and buy me wine."

"We will find it, we will definitely find it." Ye Jiaqi said quickly.

The old man said nothing, frowned deeply, and let out a long sigh in his heart.

The journey is neither long nor short.

The cement road is smooth and easy to walk on, and the air is always filled with a light fragrance of earth.

Looking out, the surrounding scenery is excellent and the field of vision is wide.

The branches swayed in the wind, making a "swish" sound, which was extremely noisy, as if they were also telling the old story.

Ye Jiaqi asked again about the current situation at the training ground.

According to the old man's opinion, he is old and can no longer manage such a large venue, and he is too lazy to bother anymore. Either the training ground will be changed hands and he will donate the money from the sale, or he will leave the training ground to Qiao Chengfan.

However, Qiao Chengfan was still young and he could not guarantee that no one would covet this property.

"Jia Qi, you can think about it. If it suits you, I will hand over the training ground to you." The old man said, "I am very confident about you. Although it is our first time to meet you, I will never misjudge others."

Ye Jiaqi was stunned. It seemed that Meng Chen hadn't had time to tell the old man that Josnian was still alive.
