Chu Qianqian was also amused by the auspicious words spoken by these children, making him laugh from time to time.
I thought that after giving the lucky money, the matter would be over.
Unexpectedly, the head of each household came to give Ailin and Aiqiu lucky money.
Even if it's a dime more, it's still 5 cents if it's less.
From the looks of it, it was my family that took advantage.
Chu Qianqian smiled helplessly. It seemed that his status in this yard was already on the same level as the deaf old lady.
I had nothing to do in the morning, so Chu Qianqian thought for a while and decided to go to the master's house to sit.
The old couple had neither children nor daughters, so in their eyes, his apprentice was half a son.
Calling Da Zhuang and Hong Niu, Chu Xiangqian rode the three-wheeled vehicle and quickly arrived at Gong Changqing's house.
Before getting off the car, he used the sidecar as a cover, took out chestnuts, red dates, Beijing white pears and 5 pounds of venison and knocked on the door.
After the old lady opened the door, she saw it was him. The smile on her face was bright and kind.
What Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that the Gong family actually had guests today.
And when he saw the other party's face, Chu Xiangqian knew the answer in his heart.
Sure enough, when Chu went forward, he bowed to Gong Changqing in a polite manner and said some auspicious words.
Old Man Gong smiled so hard that he narrowed his eyes and sent him a big red envelope. When introducing the old man, he said that Chu could just call him 'Master Jiang'.
Lao Jiang hurriedly waved his hand, "If the Gong family hadn't taken me in, I would have starved to death a long time ago. I don't dare to call you 'Master'. Just call me Lao Jiang."
Chu glanced forward and glanced at the hilt of the knife hidden under Lao Jiang's fur coat.
I couldn't help but think that this man was a master with a knife.
Just think about it seriously, but you can't even catch Ma San's moves.
However, no matter how bad a person is, he is still a person who has touched the knife and used it all his life.
He raised his hands and said, "You can't call me Master Jiang. Old Uncle Jiang is right."
Gong Changqing and the old lady couldn't help laughing.
There was also a faint smile on Lao Jiang's face, which he always met.
"You see, the young master just looked at the handle of the knife at my waist, but he also knows how to use a knife?"
"No, please don't call me Young Master," Chu waved his hands forward, "You can call me Xiao Chu, Qian Qian, or even 'Chu Er', but don't call me Young Master."
Lao Jiang was stunned and called Miss Gong family 'girl'. Since the only apprentice of a male from the Gong family branch, it was no problem to call him young master.
But whether in his previous life or now, Chu Xiangqian couldn't get used to being called 'young master' or 'gongzi'.
Lao Jiang nodded, and Chu Qianqian unbuttoned his fur coat, revealing the hunting knife at his waist.
The hunting knives produced in the game are naturally somewhat different from those in reality.
This knife is 48 centimeters long and the blade is a palm wide. It is not only good for chopping, but also very smooth and sharp for cutting.
It actually looks similar to the knife on Lao Jiang's body.
"Good knife." Lao Jiang looked at the handle and shark skin scabbard, and immediately knew that the steel of this knife should be very good.
Just when he saw the hunting knife, he also saw the gun holster on Chu Qianqian's waist.
He frowned and asked, "Second Master Chu is from the Yamen?"
Chu Xiangqian was stunned, does this mean he doesn't like the people in Gongmen?
The old lady on the side looked dissatisfied when she saw her good disciple.
He hurriedly answered, "Lao Jiang, my disciple firstly does not bully others by taking advantage of his power, secondly does not take advantage of others, and thirdly does not bully good people. He can see clearly and stand firm in the face of big rights and wrongs."
Only then did Lao Jiang feel relieved and said in a deep voice, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Chu. He suffered too much back then, and it is inevitable that he has some prejudice against people in the Gongmen.
As an apology, if you are interested, please show me your hands. "
Chu Qianqian couldn't help but look at Gong Changqing.
Old Man Gong nodded hurriedly, "Move forward, Lao Jiang has been thinking about how to use a knife all his life. If he is willing to teach you, that is your destiny.
Moreover, he is my cousin's son. If you learn his skills, there will be no problem with your identity. "
Chu Qianqian nodded, said hello to the old lady, and went out into the kitchen.
Standing in the middle of the yard holding a split log.
After the old man Gong, the old lady and old Jiang all looked at him, Chu took a deep breath and held out the firewood in his right hand.
As soon as his palm was loosened, he quickly pulled out the hunting knife from his waist and chopped it on the falling firewood.
Then he made another cross-cut with his backhand, cutting the firewood that had been cut in half again.
By the time the firewood hit the ground, it had turned into four pieces, with smooth-cut wood blocks exposed on both sides.
Not to mention Old Man Gong and Old Lady Gong, even Old Jiang could see it with twitching eyes.
Even when his skills were at their peak, he wasn't as quick as Chu Er.
And just by being fast, the best it can do is chop the firewood away.
To easily cut into four pieces, you need not only speed, but also the momentum and strength to cut through any object with one strike.
Lao Jiang shook his head helplessly, "Second Master Chu, I have nothing to teach you, lest my wild ways ruin your practice.
Moreover, my martial arts are said to be sword skills, but in fact they are just beheading skills. They are too murderous and are no longer suitable for this era. "
Chu Xiangqian said hurriedly, "Uncle Jiang, don't look at my ability to chop wood. In fact, not only do I lack the foundation of using a knife, I even have a limited understanding of how to use a knife.
The performance I had just now was entirely due to my body, which is naturally more powerful than ordinary people. "
Old Jiang looked at Gong Changqing and the old lady in confusion. Old Man Gong smiled and said, "Old Jiang, my disciple has never learned kung fu before.
He does know a few sword skills on the battlefield, probably taught by his deceased father.
But he only learned that set of enemy-killing techniques, and didn't understand the rest. "
Only then did Lao Jiang believe what Chu Xiangqian said, and after believing it, he was also pleasantly surprised by Chu Xiangqian's talent.
Just like what Old Man Gong said, as the apprentice of the Gong family, Chu Xiangqian is indeed qualified to learn his own sword skills.
In addition to the unique tricks figured out by Mr. Gong Baosen, Gong Changqing can teach you the Sixty-Four Bagua Palm.
Let’s also consider that Gong Changqing’s daughter-in-law Chen Shenglan studied Xingyi. In other words, if Chu Er is talented enough, he will become a new generation successor of both Xingyi and Bagua sects and learn both Kung Fu schools at the same time.
Just for this reason, Lao Jiang felt that he needed to teach Chu Xiangqian more skills.
If he really learns it and masters it, he will be the second Mr. Gong.
Even if the surname is not Gong, it is a kung fu passed down from the Gong family, so one has to recognize Master Gong Baosen as his uncle.
At the same time, it is also for the Gong family to inherit what their ancestors have learned.
And inheritance has always been the most important thing for old masters.
In this way, Chu Xiangqian spent the whole morning learning the basics from Lao Jiang.
What he didn't expect was that not only was the basics boring, but the back and forth movements were actually just chopping and slicing.
To describe it with a rhyme Lao Jiang heard from his predecessors, their sect, because the knives in their hands are a bit short, pay attention to "the cutting must be steady, accurate and powerful, the cutting must be high and low, the blade must be level, and the picking must be flexible and flexible." , Everything should be done quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, not too late'.
He also asked Chu Xiangqian to read Qi Jiguang's "Xinyou Sword Technique" and "Wu Bei Zhi", as well as He Liangchen's "Zhen Ji" and Cheng Zongyou's "Selected Single Sword Techniques".
It is said that in these ancient books, the usage and usage skills of the knife have been recorded for a long time.
In the end, he reminded Chu Qianqian again and again that no matter how good his sword skills are, body skills are also the key.
Otherwise it is wasted effort.
Chu Xiangqian understood this and even remembered what it said in The Heroes of Heroes played by Jet Li.
He didn't say in his mouth, "Hardness and softness are a waste of energy, softness and hardness are attacking but not conquering."
Lao Jiang, Gong Changqing, and the old lady on the side all had their eyes lit up.
In the future, this truth will be a famous saying that can be easily found on the Internet or in movies.
But in the era when kung fu was only taught to apprentices and sons, ordinary people had no chance to come into contact with these.
Even when the level of education is extremely low, if you have never read a book and do not understand the principles of life, if the master does not tell you and the apprentice wants to figure it out on your own, then you are a person with extraordinary talents.
Lao Jiang came back this time to replace Gong Er and Ding Lianshan, and wanted to see what Chu Xiangqian's character and talent were like.
It's impossible to tell whether the character is true or not, but the talent is indeed the same as what Gong Changqing said in the telegram.
Absolutely first class.
Lao Jiang nodded to Chu Qianqian with satisfaction, secretly envious of Gong Changqing and Chen Shenglan.
A good master is rare, and a good apprentice is even harder to come by.
If you accept a disciple with excellent talent and the other party is willing to endure hardships, then this sect can prosper for decades.
And there are actually many types of talents.
Some people are born with excellent athletic ability, but in the end, martial arts training is still about killing skills. In the end, you still have to rely on your brain.
In the morning, I taught Chu the basics of forward knife skills, and I already realized that his physical fitness was excellent, even a little too good.
For a moment, Lao Jiang felt that Chu Xiangqian's endurance and speed were better than Ma San, who had practiced martial arts since childhood.
And this was the result of Chu Xiangqian's reservations.
Since there was no problem with his talent, Lao Jiang couldn't help but want to try Chu Xiangqian's character.
"Second Master Chu, what is your purpose in learning martial arts?"
Chu Qianqian was stunned, thought about it and decided to tell the truth, "If I want to kill someone, I just use a gun. So when I learn martial arts, I am still afraid of death."
Lao Jiang, Gong Changqing and the old lady were all surprised by these words.
But fear of death is not necessarily a bad thing. And Chu Xiangqian's ability to say this at least shows that he is not a hypocrite.
In other words, he is not a hypocrite at this time.
Lao Jiang nodded to Gong Changqing and the old lady, "Uncle Gong, my girl's health is getting worse this winter. If you have a chance, you'd better go to Hong Kong Island.
lest,,,. "
At this point, Lao Jiang really couldn't go on, but Gong Changqing, his wife, and Chu Xiangqian both knew that Gong Er could no longer hold on any longer.
Chu Xiangqian did have a way, which could at least improve Gong Er's situation.
Blindfold her, take her to Novice Village, and eat two steamed buns representing blood bottles.
At least the injuries she suffered back then should be greatly relieved.
But Chu Xiangqian would rather bear regret in his heart than reveal his secret.
And to be honest, he actually has no feelings or friendship for Gong Er, so how could he take risks for her?
Gong Changqing sighed with emotion for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "Years ago, Qianqian brought me a whole set of tiger bones.
I found an old friend and made 200 Guben pills to strengthen my body. When you go back, take 100 pills to my girl.
If it is useful, please send me a telegram immediately. "
After saying that, he looked at Chu Qianqian.
Chu Xiangqian hurriedly assured, "Master, don't worry, even if there are no tigers around the capital, at worst I will go deep into Yanshan Mountain, or go to Taihang Mountain and Changbai Mountain."
No matter what, we have to bring back a few tigers. "
Lao Jiang felt that Chu Xiangqian was talking big words, but Gong Changqing said with a smile, "Old Jiang, you don't know that a few days ago, Xiang Xiang went into the mountains alone and killed two tigers, a leopard and three wild wolves.
This is something that many people know, and many people even saw the two tigers that were transported back with their own eyes. "
Only then did Lao Jiang believe it, and at the same time he told Gong Changqing that if Chu Xiangqiang's hunting ability was first-rate, he would also believe it.
The remaining 2 points were because Lao Jiang had encountered a tiger in the north.
He would never forget that situation.
That's why I subconsciously felt that how could Chu Xiangqian, who was so young, possibly kill two tigers alone.
Anyone who has seen a tiger, even just in a zoo, across an iron cage, can understand the innate fear deep in his heart when he comes into close contact with a tiger.
The last time Chu Xiangqian was in the mountains, he was almost jumped by a tiger.
The day before yesterday, I had a close encounter with a tiger in the game again, and it felt like my heart was pounding.
It's both excitement and fear.
Lao Jiang cupped his fists and said, "Then thank Second Master Chu first."
Chu waved his hand forward, "Since you have learned the skills of the master and the master, you are the half son of the master and the master. Filial piety is what you should do."
Listening to these words, there is still a hint of alienation.
But in the eyes of Lao Jiang, Gong Changqing and the old lady, this is real.
Moreover, what Gong Changqing and the old lady want is actually to have support and support in old age.
Chu Xiangqian went to see them more often in his free time, have a meal with them, drink tea and chat with them.
Remembering to visit during the holidays is already the greatest reward.
As for wearing hemp and mourning, Chu Xiangqian's thinking was a little different from that of people of this era. Not only did he not mind it at all, but he felt that it should be done in his heart.
He wouldn't even mind if he married a daughter of the Gong family and had more sons, one of whom would take his mother's surname.
It's a pity that the Gong family of Gong Changqing and Gong Er have no heirs.
But the old lady has a niece.
Chu Xiangqian stayed for lunch, and Old Man Gong also took the opportunity to let Chu Xiangqian practice a set of Baguazhang and footwork.
Chu Xiangqian himself also wanted to know how much progress he had made after practicing for these days.
And every time he enters the game to fight wild monsters or take a bath in the game, he will practice Baguazhang, Xingyiquan and walk the wooden pile array.
After practicing a set of kung fu, in the eyes of Gong Changqing and Lao Jiang, the footwork is fast and steady, the palm skills can be changed very quickly, and the shots are also very powerful.
Just by hearing the sound of the wind breaking through the palm, you can tell that it is extremely powerful.
This palm hits a person's body, and even a single bone has to be knocked out.
Lao Jiang whispered to Gong Changqing, "Uncle Gong, has this kid really only studied for less than half a month?"
"Do I have to lie to you about this?" Gong Changqing rolled his eyes at Lao Jiang, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.
He secretly thought that this boy's talent in martial arts was really unexpected, and he immediately felt ecstatic and proud.
