It is said that three days have passed since Xiaoliu and Lao Xing started practicing martial arts.
During these three days, the master and the apprentice worked hard to get up early and sleep late. They got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog. In addition to patrolling the streets every day, they practiced martial arts.
With their diligent study and practice, both of them have made great progress in martial arts.
Among them, Lao Xing has already learned all the thirty-six sword techniques. Although his execution is still a bit substandard, he at least has memorized all the sword techniques.
As for the non-standard movements, there is nothing that can be done about it.
After all, some moves have very high requirements on physical fitness, and Lao Xing is a bit older and his bones have already been finalized, so his flexibility is a bit poor and he cannot do some moves.
Originally, this was nothing to a middle-aged uncle, but it was almost enough to be able to do this.
However, Lao Xing, who has great ambitions and has finally obtained the martial arts secret book, does not want to just make do with it.
Especially when his apprentice performed so well, the face-saving old Xing Na made up his mind to practice his old skills.
No, while Xiao Liu was patrolling the streets alone, he was secretly hiding in the county government's martial arts training ground, practicing leg presses.
As for Xiao Liu, the progress can be said to be rapid!
In the past three days, Xiao Liu has practiced this sword technique hundreds of times, and now he can not only achieve it smoothly and penetratingly.
Moreover, each sword is fierce and sharp, and when it is danced, it even has an unusual momentum, which makes people tremble in their hearts.
Even Lao Xing was afraid to stay away when Xiao Liu was practicing swordsmanship, for fear of being accidentally injured by Xiao Liu.
The more Xiao Liu practiced, the more he felt that this set of sword techniques was extremely exquisite, because he discovered that this sword technique could not only be performed by following a move on the map, but could even be performed while jumping.
For example, the third picture can actually follow the first picture, and the sixth picture can actually be a variation of the ninth picture. It can be said that the changes in this set of sword techniques can be based on different Changes randomly depending on the situation.
Xiaoliu, who discovered this, became more and more excited the more he practiced. He did not stop practicing because he had mastered this sword technique at all. On the contrary, he became more enthusiastic about practicing this sword technique.
And Xiao Liu not only made rapid progress in martial arts training, he was also very skillful in the world of human relations.
No, within less than three days of taking office, Lao Xing had already started letting Xiao Liu patrol the streets alone.
One of them is in charge of Dongshi and Beiqiao, and the other is in charge of West Street and Nanting. They rotate again every three days.
With the division of labor in this area, the work of the two of them has obviously become much easier, and they even have time to sneak back to the county government office to practice martial arts.
Of course, it was Lao Xing who usually went back to the county government office to practice martial arts secretly.
This is mainly because Xiao Liu is so terrifying!
Although Xiao Liu and Lao Xing both study hard and practice hard, there are differences in their hard training.
Xiaoliu didn't go to bed until late every night when he was practicing. The next day, he got up when the rooster crowed again and started practicing swordsmanship.
Lao Xing originally wanted to be like Xiao Liu, but he practiced almost to death the night before, and fell asleep directly the next day. Even when patrolling the streets, he looked sick and listless.
Xiaoliu, on the other hand, was as energetic as a normal person, as if he had just woken up after sleeping all day.
Lao Xing didn't know where Xiaoliu got such good energy, but at this moment, he really felt that he was getting old!
As the saying goes, middle-aged people have no choice but to soak wolfberries in a thermos cup.
Lao Xing and Xiao Liu, a young man, are definitely incomparable in terms of energy. What's more, Xiao Liu's body is obviously different from that of ordinary people.
Xiaoliu could also clearly feel that his body was unusual. He felt that his body was terrifying. Compared with his previous body, this body seemed to be filled with inexhaustible energy all the time.
No matter how hard he practiced the day before or how tired he was, as long as he slept, he would be full of energy the next day.
After that, Lao Xing stopped practicing so late with Xiao Liu because he had to have enough time to rest.
And since I can't catch up in the morning and evening, I can only take advantage of the noon time to practice more.
——————————————————————————————
Xiaoliu, who had obtained permission to patrol the streets alone, was also very happy. He came to West Street early in the morning because there was the only painting shop in the town.
Xiaoliu's purpose is very clear, that is, since Lao Bai is an old man found in a painting shop in the original work, he should give it a try.
But what Xiaoliu didn't expect was that although the boss knew the old man as a person, he didn't know where the old man lived? He only knew that the old man would bring some paintings to sell from time to time.
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Xiaoliu became interested instantly, and he immediately asked the boss to find all the old people's paintings.
But Xiaoliu was disappointed. The paintings the old man sent here for sale were not martial arts secrets, but just some ordinary landscapes, flowers and birds.
"Does the boss have anything else?" Xiao Liu asked unwillingly.
"No, Captain Yan, they are all here. These paintings are not worth anything. They are just waste paper. I use them to wrap up paintings." Although the boss didn't know what Xiaoliu was going to do, he still answered truthfully. .
"By the way, Detective Yan, this is... please take care of me in the future!" As he said that, the boss secretly took out a few coins from his pocket and put them into Xiao Liu's hand.
Xiao Liu looked at the boss and understood what he meant. Although Xiao Liu didn't want to accept it, he also knew that if he didn't accept it, it would look a bit different to them.
Xiao Liu said with a smile. "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Zhou."
"By the way, Shopkeeper Zhou, do you know when the old man usually comes?" Xiao Liu asked curiously.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhou shook his head.
"I can't guess this little one, but he should be here soon. The last time he came was last month. He basically comes once a month. There are only a few days left this month. What's wrong, Captain Yan?" Did the old man commit something? Do you want to..." Shopkeeper Zhou tried to catch him.
Xiaoliu waved his hand quickly.
"No, no, no need. Shopkeeper Zhou, you misunderstood. That old man is my benefactor. I am anxious to find him. I just want to thank him in person."
Hearing this, shopkeeper Zhou nodded and said with a smile.
"Oh, that's it. Otherwise, Captain Yan, I'll ask him to sit in my shop next time he comes again, and I'll ask my shop assistant to inform you. What do you think? ?”
Xiao Liu thought for a moment after hearing this, but still shook his head. "No, Shopkeeper Zhou, thank you for your kindness, but it would be better for me to visit you in person."
"Okay, Shopkeeper Zhou, next time the old man comes again, if you tell the old man like this, just say that Yan Xiaoliu thanks him for his great kindness and wants to thank him in person. Can he please leave his address so that Xiaoliu can do it in person? Come and say thank you.”
Shopkeeper Zhou listened to Xiao Liu's words, although he didn't know how kind of kindness the old man was to Xiao Liu, and actually asked Xiao Liu to express his sincere thanks. But he still agreed. After all, it was just a message.
And if you can get along well with the newly appointed Captain Yan by just passing a few words, it will definitely be worth it.
You may be wondering, why is the shopkeeper so flattering this week for a young detective like Xiao Liu who doesn't even have an official status?
In fact, the reason is very simple: the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Xiaoliu, as the only policeman in this town, and now that he has won the trust of Captain Xing, and manages the area with him, he will definitely have to deal with them frequently in the future.
The king of hell is easy to mess with, and the little devil is difficult to deal with. The more such a little person is, the more it is necessary to have good dealings with him.
Because they are not like Lou Zhixian, where as long as you don't commit any major crimes, people won't bother to care about you.
And for them, just take a look at Li Xiulian, the leader of the Four Evil Catchers in Guanzhong, and you will know that they will ban you when you are told, and they will ban you and the inn together.
Of course, Xiao Liu and Lao Xing are not like that.
"Then please leave it to Shopkeeper Zhou." When Xiao Liu saw the other party agreeing, he also cupped his fists and thanked him.
He didn't dare to let the old man wait for him. Although he still didn't know what the senior's temper was, he must give him as much face as possible.
"Little things, small things!" Shopkeeper Zhou responded humbly.
"Okay, then I will stay here soon. By the way, Shopkeeper Zhou, I like these paintings very much. See if the money is enough."
With that said, Xiao Liu put the money that Shopkeeper Zhou had just given on the table, and the paintings that Xiao Liu picked up were the old man's paintings.
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled quickly when he saw this. "Captain Yan, these paintings are not worth so much money. The old man put them in our store for free. If you want them, just take them."
Xiao Liu smiled and said after hearing this. "Shopkeeper Zhou, maybe in your eyes, these paintings are worthless. But in my opinion, these paintings are very valuable. Since you don't think the price is too low, then I won't be polite."
Xiaoliu cupped his fists and thanked him.
Shopkeeper Zhou looked at Xiao Liu like this, although he was a little confused, but if he could make money, who wouldn't?
In this way, Xiaoliu bought a few paintings of the old man in the art shop and came out. However, he did not go far after coming out. Instead, he started patrolling the streets with this art shop as the center point.
In the past, when Xiaoliu and Lao Xing patrolled the streets, they would usually start from the county government office or Tongfu Inn. Because one is the center of the county town, the other is where they have lunch and dinner, and it is also the only inn in the town.
However, Xiao Liu thought of what Shopkeeper Zhou had just said, that the old man should be here in the next few days.
So he directly used this painting shop as the center point, wandering back and forth here. Not to mention that the county government had not returned, he even didn't go to Tongfu Inn for lunch, just bought two sesame cakes and dealt with it. .
But even so, seeing that the sun was about to set, he still didn't wait for the old man.
Looking at the time, Xiao Liu also knew that the old man would not come today.
After patrolling the streets for a whole day, Xiao Liu ate two pieces of sesame seed cakes. After knowing that waiting today was fruitless, a feeling of hunger welled up in his heart.
Xiaoliu finally waited for a while, and after confirming that there was still no result, he shook his head slightly, turned around and walked towards Tongfu Inn.
But he didn't know that at the end of the street, an old man was looking at him with a smile. After seeing him leave, the old man also smiled and turned away.
At this time, in Tongfu Inn, the shopkeeper and Xiaobei were still comforting Xiao Guo, and Xiao Guo was crying until his tears had dried up. But she had to do a full show, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Bei were beside her, so she could only continue to stare blankly with despair.
Outside, Lao Bai and the other three thought hard all afternoon.
Finally, the scholar found a solution from the medical book he kept at the bottom of the box.
"Old Bai, I have a solution!" Xiucai quickly ran out happily and told Lao Bai.
"What can you do?" Lao Bai looked at the scholar with a sad face.
Lao Bai knew that if Xiao Guo was not a good doctor, he didn't know what happened to others, and he himself would definitely be dead. If it weren't for him, Xiao Guo wouldn't be trapped here. His identity will be checked again when the time comes. Finish playing immediately!
Seeing Lao Bai's unbelieving expression, Xiucai didn't argue with him, but said patiently.
"I read in a medical book that paralysis of the lower body is mainly caused by qi deficiency and poor blood circulation, which leads to qi and blood stasis and blood vessel blockage..." The scholar muttered some medical terms.
However, Lao Bai had no time to listen to him talking about this. He only saw Lao Bai anxiously grabbing the scholar's hand and saying. "Stop talking about these useless things, just tell me if this book says anything about how to treat it?"
The scholar was a little dazed by Lao Bai's shock, but he spoke immediately. "Yes, you can use the steaming method."
"Steaming method?" Lao Bai asked curiously.
"Yes, it is to use heat to push the blood up from the soles of the feet, dredge the stagnant blood vessels, and allow the blood to flow successfully again." The scholar said babously.
Lao Bai didn't understand it either, but it seemed to make sense, a bit like pushing the uterus and causing blood.
But can this obsession really be cured by this method? Lao Bai still said in disbelief.
"Is this okay?"
Seeing Lao Bai like this, Xiucai quickly persuaded him. "Anyway, it's already like this. Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. How will we know if we don't try it? What if it's cured?"
After hearing Xiucai's words, Lao Bai gritted his teeth and immediately made up his mind. "I'm going to boil the water right now. It's boiling water. I can't push it away!"
Lao Bai got up and walked towards the kitchen, and the scholar who was the instigator also quickly followed.
Dazui, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen, couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw the two people suddenly barging into the kitchen.
However, after listening to Xiucai's explanation, Dazui immediately went to the well to pick up two large buckets of water, poured it into the pot and started boiling it. As for dinner, he would make it later.
As the saying goes, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. I wonder if Xiao Guo, a living pig pretending to be sick, is afraid of boiling water.
But Lao Bai and the others were merciful. Looking at the scalding boiling water, they knew that even if Xiao Guo was fine, something would happen if he was burned. So they added some water into it, but it was still very hot.
It was getting dark at this time, and the shopkeeper and Xiaobei were called out by Lao Bai and the others for discussion in the name of eating.
They don't dare to tell Xiao Guo now, otherwise it won't work later and Xiao Guo will be even more disappointed.
After everyone discussed it, the shopkeeper also agreed with this plan.
"That's it!" The shopkeeper said as he took the basin and planned to wash Xiao Guo's feet in person.
However, he was stopped by Xiao Bei.
"Sister-in-law, please let me come. I live in the same house with Sister Xiao Guo. Now that something has happened to Sister Xiao Guo, I should take more care of her, right?"
With that said, Xiaobei picked up the basin.
The shopkeeper didn't expect that he had just scolded Xiaobei for being ignorant in the afternoon. He didn't expect that Xiaobei would take the initiative to wash Xiaoguo's feet in the evening.
The shopkeeper touched Xiaobei's head happily. "Xiao Bei finally grew up!"
The rest of the people also looked at Xiaobei with relief. After being together for two years, Xiaobei was like their sister.
Seeing everyone's approving glances, Xiao Bei felt a little happy in her heart, but she didn't show it too much, she just smiled sweetly at everyone.
"You all go back, I'll leave Sister Xiao Guo's place to me."
Everyone watched Xiaobei off. They originally wanted to hear the results outside, but at this time.
"Shopkeeper Tong! Brother Bai!!!"
