Peaceful summer.
There are white clouds in the sky.
The waterfall at the far end is splashing with water.
Jiang Yichen couldn't even see it.
Half squatting on Chu Shangu's right hand side.
Express what's on your mind lightly.
"Brother Chu, would you like to tell me the story of your sword and the white cloth on it?"
"Hey, I've wanted to ask for a long time. It's really hard for you to hold it in until now."
"That's not true. We were not familiar with each other at the beginning. Knowing too much may not be a good thing. You also know that I am very afraid of trouble."
"Huh, what about now, why are you so curious?"
"Now, I think we are about to part ways. If I don't get to know you better, when I meet others in the future and want to brag for you, I don't know where to start."
"Bah! I think you are just greedy for my big sword."
"No, what I am craving for is white cloth. Thousands of shurikens have not been able to poke a single hole in the white cloth. It is absolutely extraordinary!"
Seeing Jiang Yichen's left hand resting in front of his knees silently groping for the edge of the knife handle, Chu Shangu snatched the knife wrapped in white cloth back into his arms at lightning speed, tucked it under his left arm, and stared at the blind man with a guarded expression. Looking at the knife thief, he said disdainfully: "You, despicable..."
Jiang Yichen could feel the strange look from Big Brother, but he said nonchalantly: "I haven't seen your precious white cloth on weekdays. It's always dirty like light and dust. Now you can't bear to part with it?"
Of course, Chu Shangu could tell that Jiang Yichen was pretending to be insinuating, so he wanted to seduce the opponent's appetite.
Then he clamped the knife under his arm, raised his body with both hands on the ground and moved to the left, deliberately keeping more than an arm's distance from Jiang Yichen.
Jiang Yichen couldn't see it, but could hear it clearly. He looked "visually" in the direction of the waterfall and chuckled, "What a girl."
When Chu Shangu heard this, the longer beard on his cheeks trembled, and he retorted: "You are a bitch! You are obviously very curious in your heart, but you refuse to admit it. If you admit it, will you suffer a loss or what?"
Jiang Yichen still "looked" ahead and said in a dismissive tone: "You said you are not a woman, why do you only dare to take the initiative when provoking others, but when it comes to the real fight, you act like a turtle? Silent?"
Chu Shangu's face turned red when he heard this, and his beard and hair stood out, but instead of getting angry, he smiled: "Hmph, doesn't this prove that I am a real man? Only a real man will deliberately show weakness in front of a woman, but stick to it The bottom line is that I was unambiguous when I was a kid! As for the provocation, hey, what a coincidence, it was your bad luck, and I happened to be venting my anger both times."
Caught up?
It seems true.
Jiang Yichen recalled two encounters with Chu Shan alone in the bamboo forest and at a breakfast stall.
One time, the other party was comprehending the great way of nature in the bamboo forest. He accidentally bumped into him and gave the other party a chance to test the results of his realization.
Another time was at the breakfast stall. In order to test Chu Shangu, Yu Le launched a thunderous strike, but he only tried it briefly and retreated with one blow. This aroused Chu Shangu's fighting spirit and made him unable to fully enjoy it. Unexpectedly, he came back again. On the edge, it became a bag of anger.
Jiang Yichen sighed secretly, not only has his face become thinner, but it has also become darker?
Fortunately, misfortunes and blessings depended on it. Because of this series of chance encounters, he suffered some small losses, which made Chu Shangu feel guilty and became a powerful uninvited helper. Otherwise, everything he encountered along the way would have been solely his own fault. He was really stretched thin, and no one came to relieve his boredom at this time.
"It's not a loss, it's not a loss." Jiang Yichen murmured in a low voice. When Chu Shangu leaned over to listen, he put his left hand in a calculating manner, turned his head and said seriously, "What Brother Chu said just now, could it be that he respected the master? "
Seeing Jiang Yichen making random calculations, Chu Shangu almost laughed out loud. He wanted to hear what tricks this guy could come up with, but when he heard the word "respected master", he could hardly sit still and was about to collapse. .
I couldn't help but feel annoyed in my heart: Alas, I am indeed too young. Those who play tricks in this world have dirty hearts.
Jiang Yichen pressed forward step by step and said, "I must respect your master's wife very much."
Chu Shangu slowly put down the knife under his arm, sighed and said, "Yes, Master loves, loves, and misses his wife very much."
Hearing these words and tone, Jiang Yichen tasted the faint sadness in them and knew that he couldn't continue teasing her anymore and waited for the next words.
In a moment of silence, only the sound of the waterfall falling in the distance could be heard.
Chu Shangu finally spoke: "Master's wife left earlier. Even so, Master always thought that she was by his side. When Master's wife was still there, Master obeyed her words and did not dare to express his anger. After Master's wife left, Master I often breathed and drank into the air to satisfy my cravings, but in the end I never dared to call her a stinky bitch."
Jiang Yichen suddenly said: "It turns out that this is how 'girly' comes to be."
Chu Shangu chuckled and said, "That's right. In the first two years after Master's wife left, Master would only secretly call out when he was alone, "Girls, come and give me a pat on the back; Girls, come and give me a back rub". I rubbed my shoulders; Girl, I miss you today, come and chat with me for a few words. I would also shout like this when I was talking in my sleep. I overheard these, and later, I accidentally bumped into me several times, Master no longer avoids me. When he is happy, when he is unhappy, or when he dislikes me for not doing things well, he always brings a 'girl' with him."
Jiang Yichen couldn't help but laugh: "It's okay for your master to shout like that. Are you still shouting in front of him?"
Chu Shangu said solemnly: "Master taught me this way, so I will learn it. Although every time I shout like this, Master will always scratch my head and kick my ass, but I can feel that he is not really angry, just like shouting like this , Mistress didn’t leave us.”
"So 'What a bitch' has become the catchphrase of both your master and apprentice." Jiang Yichen concluded, "So your master just accepted you as a disciple?"
Chu Shangu said: "Well, they had no intention of accepting a disciple, so they had no choice but to raise me as both a disciple and a son."
Chu Shangu was obviously not good at telling stories, but he still tried hard to organize the language in his mind.
"You may not believe it, but when I was young, my family's life was relatively comfortable, and I was wielding a knife and eating meat every day."
Jiang Yichen asked curiously: "Oh, Brother Chu is also a butcher? It's natural to be able to eat meat every day. Is it a kitchen knife that dances every day?"
Chushan Gudu was bored and curled his lips, not even bothering to explain that he used a butcher's knife instead of a kitchen knife.
Jiang Yichen urged: "You go on, I won't interrupt."
Chu Shangu reluctantly spoke again: "Our family lived a pretty good life in Nanhe Town at that time, but because of the family business, we had never left the town. Before I was ten years old, we had never left the town. When I walked out of Nanhe Town, the only stream I saw was Nanhe."
Nanhe Town is in the northern part of Fuhang County. Ever since he heard from Yao Lao that his parents and his whole family had stayed in Fuhang County, Jiang Yichen was extremely sensitive to information that had even the slightest connection to Fuhang County.
"Master and wife are naturally from Jianghu. Master was severely injured and could not leave any heirs. Fortunately, his enemies have been eliminated and he has washed his hands and returned to the mountains. The place they chose to retreat to is the mountains outside Nanhe Town."
"Not long after I was born, whenever they came to town to buy meat, they would often come to patronize the family business. By the time I learned how to separate bones, remove bones, and cut meat, we had become old acquaintances."
"A few years later, didn't the Japanese gang of killers come in? The killers came so fast that most people in the town didn't react in time and couldn't stop them. They were all killed and injured."
"All the young and old men in our family went into battle together, naked and fighting against those killers. One old man, two adults and three and a half young men fought ten, and four of them were killed."
"I am also a good fortune teller. I stabbed a murderer in the abdomen with a bloodletting knife and drained his blood. I was kicked far away by another person and knocked on his head and passed out."
"The mountain where Master and Master stayed was not spared. It's just that the top of the mountain was too small, so not many Japanese people went there, so they were all killed."
"In order to rush for time, the gang of killers didn't stop at any place where they killed and looted. The two elders went down the mountain and searched around the town. They found me who was lucky enough to survive, so they took me away."
"We were surrounded by wolves in the east and south, so we had no choice but to hide in the west or north. We met a few small waves of Japanese people along the way and it was a bloody battle. It was at that time that the master's wife was injured and the root of her illness came down."
"We survived the most difficult three years and stayed in Jiangmen Town."
"Master's wife's injury can no longer support her running around, so she can only rest."
"It's a pity that within two years, the mistress still passed away quietly on the bed."
"For the next ten years or so, Master and I will be the only ones left to depend on each other."
"Three years ago, the master went to see his wife."
After hearing this, Jiang Yichen already understood why he met Chu Shangu in the bamboo forest outside Caoyan Town a few days ago.
After Chu Shangu guarded his master's mausoleum for three years, he finally left Jiangmen Town, and his destination was probably to return to his hometown for a visit. Little did he know that by some strange combination of circumstances, he was abducted to the west, away from Fuhang County. It's getting further and further away.
As if he felt that the atmosphere was getting a little heavy, Chu Shangu tried his best to raise the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "To be honest, I still respect my teacher. I have learned all the things that Master always talks about. Master His swordsmanship is so disappointing, and so is the swordsmanship I learned. I was beaten for a long time before I could fight back."
Hearing this, Jiang Yichen had an idea and reasoned back: "Your sword skills are good enough to go head-to-head with Bai Liangang, but you can't do anything with the finger twister. So, that Bai Ling must be your master's wife's weapon, from the beginning to the end. I will eat your master to death."
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
