Crackling.
New firewood exploded in the stove, and the blazing fire reflected a shoehorned face. A layer of ash fell on the gray hair, which was blown by the wind in the courtyard like smoke.
"How did you find yourself here?" The man tilted his head, a flash of curiosity in his eyes. After speaking, he grabbed the firewood placed next to him and added a handful to the stove.
Lin Yue took a step forward. The embers at his mouth lit up and then dimmed. A stream of green smoke flew out of the shadow of the south wall and was dyed silver by the moonlight.
"Your biggest flaw is that you shouldn't have appeared in front of me without changing your clothes. The smoke will always leave a bit of a burnt smell on your clothes."
"Cantonese people like to eat snakes, and so does HK. It just so happens that I also love this bite. Although the snake meat is delicious, it has a faint earthy smell. When it is so heavy that it can't cover up the smell of fireworks stained on clothes, that person I must be making snake soup every day.”
"Baguazhang is agile and agile, combining hardness and softness. The palms are like wind. The wind that day was a wind with a bit of chrysanthemum flavor. And the most special dish in Gonghelou is called chrysanthemum and snake soup."
The old man in front of the stove wiped his face and turned around: "You are more difficult than I expected."
Lin Yue smiled and said, "Is it just difficult?"
In fact, when he heard the name Jinlou in a neighborhood chat, he had some ideas, but he didn't use it as a clue to dig into the background of the world. After all, just because something didn't appear in the "Ip Man" movie doesn't mean it doesn't exist in the movie world. .
Until Mr. Fu said in front of him, "The Great Hidden Hidden in the City", and related to the fight during the last attack, he had to ask him to connect the matter to another movie - "The Grandmaster".
Although it is not the "Ip Man" series starring Universe Dan, the story also revolves around the character of Ip Man.
When he came to the back kitchen of Jinlou today and saw the man adding firewood to the stove, he finally confirmed that his guess was correct.
Ding Lianshan, Gong Baosen’s elder brother.
"You came here just to find out what I think of you, right?"
Ding Lianshan was sitting on the horse, and his Northeastern dialect reminded people of the sound of cotton boots squeaking in the snow.
Lin Yue asked back: "Then why did you block me in the alley a few days ago?"
"I was so excited that I couldn't help it. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Then I'm just feeling itchy, so I asked Senior Ding for advice."
Ding Lianshan's expression changed: "What did you call me?"
The steam overflowing from the steamer filled most of the kitchen, and the aroma of snake soup spread with the roar of the flames.
Lin Yue lit the ashes of his cigarette, walked out of the shadow of the south wall, and slowly handed out his arm with a cigarette between his fingers: "Would you like one?"
Ding Lianshan was silent for a moment, then slowly stretched out his scissor hand, clamped the cigarette in front of him and pulled it forward, but did not pull it.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Yue.
"In 1905, a ghost came to Fengtian. The ghost drew a circle on the ground with a knife, saying that anyone from the Northeast who entered the circle would be killed without mercy. Many people died that day, and the circle on the ground became larger and larger until a The man stepped forward and killed the ghost, and the circle on the ground disappeared.”
"It's a pity that the Sun Flag can't accommodate people, so he can only become a lonely ghost, wandering outside his hometown."
Lin Yue tried his best, and the smoke fell into Ding Lianshan's hand.
"fire?"
Ding Lianshan stared at him, folded his arm outwards, and the cigarette between his fingers passed through the fire in the stove, and was already lit when he came back in front of him.
He couldn't imagine, there were so many things he didn't expect. He couldn't imagine why Lin Yue could find him, or why Lin Yue knew his name and story.
Who on earth revealed his true identity?
"I am very busy?"
"Are you busy making snake soup?"
"If the snake soup is not cooked well, the Jinlou's sign will be ruined."
"Yes." Lin Yue said, "Then you continue, I have time."
"I thought you knew how to use force."
"I don't like forcing things on others."
"Are you so sure that I will fight you?"
Lin Yue smiled.
At this moment, the cigarette in Ding Lianshan's mouth went out...it went out halfway through.
Lin Yue took out another cigarette, put it together with the one in his mouth, lit it, and handed it out: "The tobacco is broken, can it be renewed? The inheritance is broken, can it be continued?"
"Mr. Lin, there is a saying that goes well: you can bite off more than you can chew."
"Senior Ding, I have also heard that the sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great."
The old man took the cigarette in his hand: "What do you want to see?"
Lin Yue said: "Xingyiquan."
Ding Lianshan frowned and said nothing.
Lin Yue said calmly: "You used Baguazhang that day, but I know that your best thing is Xingyiquan."
"What I am best at may not be suitable for you."
This is true. Xingyiquan is fierce and domineering, with drills, splits, crossbows, and drills. It is more suitable for men to practice. However, Wing Chun has been criticized as a punch for women. This is not unreasonable. After all, the founder of Wing Chun was Wu Mei Shi Tai.
To a certain extent, the styles of Xingyi Quan and Wing Chun are in conflict. Considering Lin Yue's situation, choosing Baguazhang is more meaningful than choosing Xingyi Quan.
Lin Yue insisted: "If you haven't tried it, how do you know it's not suitable?"
Ding Lianshan looked at him steadily for a while: "Okay, since you insist on this."
"Thank you, senior."
"The heat is here, let's have a bowl of snake soup."
"good."
…
About an hour later, Lin Yue pushed open the door to the backyard of Jinlou and came to the alley he had walked through once.
The tunic on his body had some wrinkles, and there were thin beads of sweat on his forehead. Compared with when he arrived, he had an extra bamboo basket in his hand, with two live snakes in it.
It is the spring of 1936. Now that Ding Lianshan has come out, will Gong Baosen be far behind?
And Gong Er.
Speaking of Gong Er, he sighed, not for her ending, but for himself.
To be precise, it's a system task, because the moment Ding Lianshan's identity was confirmed, the system issued a new task ------ Side Task (Gong 2): It's up to you.
What do you mean I have to figure it out?
The system is becoming more and more excessive. At least the main mission and stage mission will give a clear goal. What is this side mission? It is ambiguous. What is the difference between it and playing a riddle?
It's up to me to change Gong Er's fate, and it's up to me to ignore her.
…
The next day, morning.
Lin Yue found a person among the students who could make snake stew to deal with the live snakes he got from Ding Lianshan yesterday. When he was waiting in the front hall, Wu Chilin walked in from outside.
"Master, please teach me a few more tricks. I was targeted by a customer at the restaurant yesterday when I was sparring with him."
Lin Yue said: "Has it been targeted?"
"Yes, after he was defeated by me, he hired a reinforcement from nowhere, and he actually cracked the trick you taught me last time."
"How did he crack it?"
Wu Chilin walked up to him and demonstrated again.
Lin Yue looked surprised after reading it: "Hey, there is actually a shadow of Wing Chun."
Wu Chilin said: "Master, do you think so too? Why do I feel that my opponent's moves are a bit familiar? It turns out that he is fighting Wing Chun."
Lin Yue walked over calmly: "In this case, I will teach you a few more tricks, and you should be able to restrain that person's routine."
"Really?" Wu Chi Lin was overjoyed.
"Follow me." Lin Yue took him to the backyard.
…
The third day.
The fourth day.
Day five.
…
One afternoon more than half a month later, he was teaching students in the front hall when a man walked in from outside.
It was Ip Man who came to visit.
"Hey, senior brother, why are you free to come to my place today?"
Ye Wen said: "I happened to pass by this area when I was shopping with my wife. I thought Endeavor Hall was nearby, so I came over to see you. How are you? How have you been recently? Senior brother and the others haven't come to trouble you again."
Lin Yue knew that he was talking about his joining the Jingwu Association, which caused Wu Zhongsu to make a fuss in the meeting hall, because in that person's view, this was tantamount to provoking Chen Huashun's orthodox status, and what was even more irritating was Chairman Li and Huang Yiping. Those people actually asked him to put the overall situation and national interests first.
"No."
Ye Wen nodded: "That's good, that's good."
Lin Yue found it a bit funny. Ip Man had really worked hard to maintain his character. He finally found an excuse that wasn't an excuse to come to Endeavor Hall, but he couldn't clearly explain his purpose. He just ignored him.
Outsiders don’t know what Ye Wen’s real purpose is here, doesn’t he know? Because the initiator of all this is no one else but him.
