LEGEND OF THE RULER

Episode 17 "Sleeping Again Befriends Mosquitoes And Darkness of the Night.. "

After performing that vow, from today San Lin is gone. And there was only Tang Lin. He was not wasting any time, Tang Lin immediately went to the back of his house to study that Book of Kung-Fu.

Sheet by sheet he opened, reading each word very carefully and repeatedly. Tang Lin did that until he completely understood his theory.

It didn't take long for him to understand some of the books. At least he only spent an hour to understand 10 pages. It was really beyond the normal limits of humans, no matter what made it so, it might have something to do with the Tang family's blood flowing in his veins.

Of course, if you just read it, you can spend a few minutes on dozens of pages. Yet to understand the meaning within each page was not easy, let alone with a little brat like Tang Lin. But to Tang Lin himself it was different.

Tang Lin stood up and placed his Kung-Fu under the tree. He walked towards a giant rock nearby.

Tang Lin began demonstrating the techniques written in the Kung-Fu scripture carefully and slowly. At first the movements he did look irregular and very messy. Rather than being trained, he was more like a clown performing an attraction.

If anyone saw Tang Lin at this time, that person would definitely laugh out loud and think Tang Lin was crazy. No one would believe Tang Lin if he said he was practicing being a swordsman, since Tang Lin did not have a Dantian then he would definitely be thought to be completely insane.

Yet Tang Lin did not care and did not give up! After all no one saw him if he practiced in the backyard of his old house. He repeated each movement very seriously. How many times he failed in that movement, he would repeat it over and over again. He will stop if he feels he has made progress in his training.

Actually this looks sad, how not? Tang Lin was a candidate for the Sovereign who he himself did not know that, yet no one had trained him. He trained alone without a teacher.

In the afternoon, the sun was already seen leaning west. Tang Lin also stopped his training after his movements already looked even more beautiful.

"Huft, huft, huft... Is bad! I practiced until I forgot the time.. " His exhausted murmur looked at the sun that was about to sink.

Tang Lin who had been soaked with sweat and fatigue, dropped himself on the ground while looking at the sky, "Huh... How am I supposed to prepare dinner today?.. " That's confusion.

It really hurt to be in Tang Lin's position. On one hand he had to take care of his corn garden, on one hand he had to take care of himself including diet, bathing and sleeping. And on one hand he required himself to practice the Book of Kung-Fu.

As an eleven year old boy, how could he divide all his time by himself?. Well, there was no other way, he was forced to be independent from an early age. From this moment on, he had to sacrifice his precious childhood. The childhood where he was supposed to play happily with his friends, now he no longer had that chance.

Quite the contrary, he will be a person who has no sympathy for careless people. He will be crueler and crueler than his enemies. Someday this will happen, so don't blame him, just blame the universe for forcing him so.

Tang Lin woke up and started walking into his old house with a shunt, he was very thirsty and wanted to drink at this time. Then he entered the kitchen and took the raw drinking water from the bucket.

When Tang Lin wanted to take the raw water, it turned out that the water supply in the kitchen was almost exhausted. He had to draw water tonight. He needs to shower, drink and cook to eat.

A life that was really bitter to an innocent little boy like him, couldn't a miracle come to him once more? At least he hopes his father and mother return quickly. Doing all the chores for a child seems like it's too much.

After he finished drinking the raw water, Tang Lin went to the backyard. Not far from where he had practiced before was a well of water. Tang Lin started to draw water little by little. His energy had already drained out since he had practiced, so he could not take in as much water as his father used to.

Sowing and bringing the water to the bathroom to clean his body that stink of sweat was too tiring, so he decided to take a bath on the edge of the well. Tang Lin did not care about the bath water he used back entering the well.

After finishing with all that, Tang Lin headed straight for the kitchen and saw what foodstuffs were left, he was very hungry now. And unfortunately all that was left was a handful of rice and some dried chili. Yet Tang Lin did not complain despite the fact that he was almost desperate, he had already decided not to become a crybaby anymore.

Therefore, Tang Lin cooked a handful of rice. Not forgetting he grinded the dried chili until smooth and mixed with a little salt. It only took him thirty minutes he had already finished everything.

Then Tang Lin brought a bowl of rice that looked like porridge and grinds of chili just now. Intentionally cooking the rice with a lot of water, he thought it could make him fuller.

Tang Lin put it on the table and started devouring the rice porridge. He sometimes pokes the dried chili grind so that the rice has a taste. All that he ate until it was finished without remaining. Unfortunately, he was not yet full. But that's fine, it's enough to hold his hunger until the next morning, and tomorrow morning he'll delay his practice and go to the garden to pick vegetables.

After finishing with all that, Tang Lin entered his room and wanted to rest in peace. After everything he's been through today, he's exhausted. But just as he was about to close his eyes, the candle given by healer Kang Ho ran out.

Again, Tang Lin had to sleep with a buzzing mosquito chant and his old house turned pitch-black again. If someone passes from the front of his old house at this time, people will be frightened because his old house was impressed with horror.

"Well!... Sleep by befriending the lonely and dark night again.. " His murmur while smiling miserably, he forced to close his eyes until he finally fell asleep.
