Fade Chen took Li Yun back to the hunter's hut, and the sky had already darkened.
It was getting late, so Fade Chen didn't leave, and spent the night meditating in the log cabin.
Early the next morning, as soon as Chen Fei opened his eyes, the little girl Li Yun brought hot water with enthusiasm, and offered to hand over a towel, "Brother Chen, wash your face, just boiled hot water."
Fade Chen took the towel and washed his face. Then, the little girl took the initiative to bring a hot meal, "Brother Chen, eat."
Looking at Li Yun's expectant eyes, Fade Chen couldn't see that the little girl was thinking, so he asked directly: "Xiao Yun, do you have something to tell me?"
Li Yun lowered her head, hesitated for a while, a little embarrassed, "Brother Chen, I, I—"
Taking a deep breath, she finally summoned up her courage, looked up at Fade Chen, and said, "Brother Chen, are you going down the mountain?"
Fade Chen paused, nodded and said, "Well, my business is done, and I'm going to go down the mountain today."
Hearing this, a look of disappointment flashed in Li Yun's eyes, and then she said: "Then, Brother Chen, can you take me down the mountain?"
"Xiaoyun, you're going down the mountain too? Then I'll take you with me, and it will be easier then." Fade Chen said.
Li Yun shook her head and said, "Brother Chen, that's not what I mean. I mean, I, I don't want to stay here as a hunter anymore, I want to follow you, Brother Chen."
"Follow me?" Fade Chen was surprised.
Li Yun nodded quickly and said, "Brother Chen, grandpa and father are gone, and there are more beasts on the mountain. It's hard for me to stay here alone."
"Brother Chen, you are very skilled. I want to learn martial arts from you, Brother Chen."
"Learn martial arts with me!" Fade Chen was a little surprised.
Li Yun snapped, knelt down in front of Fade Chen, kowtowed and said, "Brother Chen please accept me as an apprentice."
"This—" Fade Chen hesitated.
It's not that he doesn't want to teach disciples, but that in his current situation, he probably doesn't have much time to teach disciples, and he might leave at any time.
Li Yun didn't know what Fade Chen was thinking. Seeing him hesitate, she thought he was unwilling, so she kowtowed several times in succession, and said with a pleading expression: "Brother Chen, I really want to practice martial arts, I want to practice martial arts. Become stronger, able to protect yourself and protect those around you."
"I don't want to see my father being taken away, but I can't do anything about it. I don't want my grandfather to go into the mountains and die in the mouth of fierce beasts in order to make a living. I—"
Looking at the girl with a firm face, Fade Chen softened his heart, helped Li Yun up, and said, "Get up!"
"Brother Chen, you promised me?" Li Yun looked at Fade Chen expectantly.
Fade Chen nodded and said: "It's not impossible to teach you, but I have agreed in advance. I may not stay here for a long time, and I may leave at any time. When the time comes—"
"Then I will leave with you, Master. I will go wherever you go, Master!" Li Yun said hastily.
"Master is calling, you—" Fade Chen smiled, and didn't explain anything anymore. Instead, he patted Li Yun's head and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go eat. After eating, clean up. Let's go down the mountain together."
"Yes, Master!" Li Yun looked excited.
After breakfast, they took all the useful things in the cabin, and the two went down the mountain together.
When he came to the county seat, Fade Chen rented a small courtyard as a place for him and Li Yun to live.
Then, tidy up the courtyard and prepare various daily necessities.
Fortunately, Li Yun was very familiar with these things, and did everything neatly.
Fade Chen prepared several herbal medicines, and specially selected a few exercises and martial arts suitable for Li Yun's practice, which can be regarded as quite careful.
So, the pair of master and apprentice lived in Lincang County.
In the past few days, the county town has become more lively, and there are more warriors coming and going than before.
On this day, Fade Chen was meditating in the small courtyard, refining Aesculus Chishouwu, tempering his body, and improving his strength.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Li Yun hurried back, panting, "Master, Master——"
"What's the matter, in such a hurry?" Fade Chen looked at Li Yun.
Panting heavily, Li Yun said excitedly, "Master, you, watch TV."
"TV?" Although there was a TV in the house, Fade Chen had no interest in TV programs at all, so he never turned it on.
Now, hearing Li Yun's urging, he turned on the TV half curiously and half doubtfully.
Li Yun took a sip of water, calmed down her roar, "The official one, Master, watch the official one."
It was tuned to the official TV station, which was a live news broadcast.
When he saw the content of the live broadcast, Fade Chen couldn't help but his face darkened, and his expression froze.
Because, the live broadcast at the moment is aimed at a tall gilded humanoid statue standing on the square.
This humanoid statue is none other than Fade Chen. It is a commemorative statue set up by the government to commemorate Chen Fei saving mankind.
In the past three years, I don't know how many people have come here to visit and express their condolences.
At this moment, the base under the statue is still full of flowers and letters, which are people's grief and longing for Fade Chen.
However, the atmosphere of the TV live broadcast at this moment is obviously different from the past.
A group of uniformed personnel sealed off the statue.
Some large machines drove near the statue.
On the outside, the reporter from the official TV station was introducing the news that happened here in a calm and somewhat indifferent tone.
"Hello, friends from the audience. The place where I am now is at the gate square of the No. 1 Martial Arts School in Beijing. There is a statue of Fade Chen standing here."
"Some time ago, because the No. 1 Martial Arts School in Beijing was about to be expanded, someone proposed to remove the statue of Fade Chen at the gate of the martial arts school. Regarding this matter, the No. 1 Martial Arts School in Beijing and the Beijing City Government jointly discussed and made a decision to remove the statue of Fade Chen. Expand the No. 1 Martial Arts School in the capital."
"The decision was reported to the Budo Federation and the official government, and after discussion, the high-level officials approved the decision."
"Today is the day to remove the statue of Fade Chen."
The news was broadcast live here, and public opinion completely exploded on the Internet, triggering rounds of heated discussions and debates.
Li Yun handed over the phone, and Fade Chen flipped through it casually, and saw various opinions and analysis.
There are those who oppose the removal of the statue.
"Fade Chen is the hero of our China, and even the entire human race. The statue has only been erected for three years, and the statue of the hero is being demolished now. Isn't this forgetting one's origin?"
"The statue of Chen Fei was erected at the beginning to let everyone remember the hero and always reflect on themselves. Moreover, the statue was set up at the gate of the No. 1 martial arts school to inspire the students of the martial arts school to fight bravely and fight for the country and the people."
"To remove the statue of the hero Chen Fei for the expansion of the martial arts school is completely putting the cart before the horse and going against the spirit of the No. 1 martial arts school."
Of course, although there are many opposing voices, there are also quite a few voices supporting the demolition.
"It's just a statue, one by one is on the line, it's so serious, it's like digging the grave of the Li family ancestors."
"Some people say that the statue is to motivate the No. 1 Martial Arts School. Now, the Martial Arts School is expanding to improve its strength. Isn't this inspired? It just goes along with the original intention of erecting the statue!"
"In the past three years, our China has declined, and the No. 1 Martial Arts School is the only remaining facade. For the No. 1 Martial Arts School, demolishing a statue is not a big deal at all."
