Chapter 30: Apprenticeship

Longshou Township, as the name suggests, is named after the dragon's head.

Folklore, during the Tang Dynasty, there was an evil dragon cholera Chang'an, was injured by the heavenly master Yuan Tiangang, fled to the east, came to the loess plateau, physical strength, turned into a long worm for more than ten miles, head east and tail west, lying on the ground. After a burst of thunder and lightning, the evil dragon turned into a mountain, which was later called the Black Dragon Ridge.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, feudal superstition was broken, and Heilongling was also divided into two townships, namely Longshou Township and Longbei Township. As for the Longwei area, because the terrain is treacherous and barren, there are few people, and it was a mass grave before liberation, and now it is a crematorium.

Due to the dangerous geographical environment of Longshou Township, it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and it is the second line of defense from Tongguan. The local people are prevalent in martial arts, adults and children, all have two brushes, and outsiders dare not argue with them.

There are also nursery rhymes in Weiyang that sing: the noodles kneaded by the mother-in-law who beat it, the Han of Xiaozhuang, the woman of Yang Liuqing, and the butcher of the dragon's head.

The previous sentence undoubtedly reflects a special contempt for women by the locals, since ancient times, there is no daughter-in-law who is not beaten by her husband, this atmosphere has been maintained until the end of the last century only slightly improved, at least the post-80s children easily dare not beat their wives again, the reason for this has a lot to do with the local family planning caused by the ratio of men to women 17:10.

The second sentence is about Yang Liuqing's woman, only Yang Liuqing's woman is the most suitable wife in the whole Weiyang City, because of the relationship between water and soil, Yang Liuqing's women are all young and beautiful, and most of their personalities are gentle and kind, the most amazing thing is that Yang Liuqing's women will bring good luck to their husband's family no matter where they marry.

As for the Han of Xiaozhuang, it is because Xiaozhuang is a famous scholarly courtyard in Weiyang City, and the characters of Xiaozhuang represent the cultural level of the entire area of Weiyang since the Qing Dynasty, and there are countless officials and nobles who have produced Xiaozhuang. All the women in Weiyang City are proud to be able to marry a man from Xiaozhuang.

Finally, about the butcher of the dragon's head, it refers to the fact that there are more butchers in the Longshou Village, which is a bit of a bad irony. The geographical environment of Longshou Village is treacherous, crops cannot grow in the field, and the villagers mostly make a living by walking husbands and horse dealers, serving as people during the day and bandits at night, stealing and abducting, and they have gained a notoriety.

Longshou Township is named after Longshou Village, and the ideological movement of the whole township people moves with the people of Longshou Village, including the taste of eating, the preference of dressing, and even the mantra of speaking. It is no exaggeration to say that Longshou Village is the front line of the trend of the entire Longshou Township, and any thing spread from Longshou Village will be supported by the people of the entire Longshou Township.

And now the eyes of the people of Longshou Village are all focused on the one in the westernmost part of the village, Gu Wansan, who has the title of "Living Bodhisattva". There are countless well-known heroic deeds about Gu Wansan, and almost all of them have become a symbol of faith for the locals.

Gu Wansan, who is now in his seventies, worshipped Xiao Zhongwu as a teacher in the early years, learned a skill, and usually seven or eight people can't get close, and later after his father died, he took over his father's class and worked as a breeder in the team. It is said that several black-skinned mules in the brigade were fed with oily water and bright coats. In that era when people couldn't get enough to eat, this was a skill.

Later, the brigade was divided, and he started to make a living as a butcher, which was also a skill handed down by his family, but it was carried forward in his hands. He can turn a live pig into two piles of flesh and bone in two minutes, and his proudest skill is to kill the dog, when the sharp knife is drawn out of the dog's heart, the dog will not let out a scream, and end up laughing.

Many people worship Gu Wansan as a teacher, just to learn from him. It's a pity that there are more than a dozen disciples, and none of them have completed it.

Maybe there is one, in the words of the old man himself, in fact, there is a posterity who can learn, but unfortunately, he later stopped working as a butcher and went to be the general manager.

This person is Fu Changqing, chairman of Qinfeng Food Group.

Although Fu Changqing did not learn all of Gu Wansan's skills, after all, he was Gu Wansan's apprentice, and he Fu Changqing also started his career here in Longshou Village, so every New Year's holiday, all kinds of etiquette will not be missing.

This is also the real reason why Gu Wansan can be respected by the whole village, he has received more than ten disciples, none of them are small people, the most bullish one, stomped his feet in Weiyang City, and the north side of the Wei River had to tremble. The most unfortunate one is also a soft and hard character in Weiyang City.

Putting these aside, after all, the old man Gu is a man in his seventies, and he washed his hands in a golden basin as early as fourteen or fifteen years ago, and no longer accepted apprentices, but he didn't expect that today's phone call made the old man Gu think of accepting another closed disciple.

Zhang Kuan rode an electric car and rushed to Longshou Township in a hurry, but the electric car was not a motorcycle after all, no matter how urgent it was, it was a speed of forty yards, no matter how fast it was.

I just received a call from an unfamiliar number, and the other party was very angry, asking Zhang Kuan to rush to Wanyuan Factory within half an hour to report, and as soon as half an hour passed, prepare a coffin for himself.

Who is Zhang Kuan? Directly reply to the other party: you paralysis!

But after all, people have already come violently, and if the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Zhang Kuan naturally has to hide for a while.

As for his father, Zhang Kuan believed that the people from the security company would not dare to mess around.

As soon as the electric car entered Longshou Village, many local dogs came out from all directions, barking around Zhang Kuan. Zhang Kuan was annoyed, spit out at the dogs, with a look of contempt, and rode the electric car inside.

For dogs, Zhang Kuan has been fighting wits and courage with all kinds of dogs since he was eight years old, and he has long figured out the temper of the dogs, but anyone who is timid and cowardly will be frightened by the dog's barking, the more so, the more crazy the dog is, and there is a big meaning of coming up to bite your hind legs. But as soon as you show a look of disdain, the dog will obediently wag its tail at you.

So it's not wrong to call those traitors dogs.

When he arrived at the west end of the village, Zhang Kuan saw a group of people sitting in the shade of a tree, and there was a three-storey building in the west of the village, on which was written the Evergreen Longshou Nursing Home. To the right of the entrance of the nursing home is a stage with the words "Dragon's Head Qin Chamber". A bunch of old men in their seventies and eighties, holding all kinds of guys and messing around.

Zhang Kuan came to Longshou Village for the first time, and was infected by this scene, and he also wanted to go up and roar twice, but he only grinned when he came.

This place is good, Zhang Kuan has the idea of wanting to live in Longshou Village for a long time.

At this time, a man in a robe stood up on the stage and waved his hand to Zhang Kuan, "Junbao, this way." ”

Zhang Kuan had already recognized that the person in the robe was his good brother, Du Kui.

As soon as the two met, Du Kui kicked Zhang Kuan's ass and scolded, "I don't know how to learn well, and I will cause trouble." ”

Zhang Kuan dodged with a hippie smile, "Isn't this okay?" ”

Du Kui scolded him a few more words, took Zhang Kuan to an old mansion, and said in a low voice: "Wait a minute, I will recognize a master for you, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhang Kuan belongs to the new new human beings of the twenty-first century, and he has never heard of those things about the old man Gu Wansan, but he is curious about it, "Didn't you arrange for me to hide for a while and recognize a master to do something?"

Du Kui snorted, "Do you think you can dodge? Who is Heilin? He is the Emperor of Weiyang City, and the person he wants to find can be dug out even if he digs three feet into the ground." ”

"So powerful?" Zhang Kuan hadn't suffered a big loss, and thought Du Kui was joking.

Looking at Zhang Kuan's ignorant and fearless expression, Du Kui shook his head helplessly, "In the future, you will understand that some people can't afford to offend at all." Worshipping this gentleman as a teacher can allow you to escape this catastrophe, but only this time, the next time you provoke Heilin again, no one will be able to save you. ”

Zhang Kuan pursed his lips disdainfully when he heard this, "Next time, I'll even clean up the black forest." ”

"You!" Du Kui wanted to be angry after hearing this, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only glare at Zhang Kuan fiercely, forcing the other party to bow his head before continuing: "Don't let me hear this sentence a second time, your task is to make good money, and it is not what you should do." ”

Zhang Kuan snorted aggrievedly, and secretly said in his heart, this guy hasn't seen him for a few days, how has he changed, he didn't treat me like this before.

Following Du Kui, he walked around and entered a courtyard, which was full of lush moon season Wu Kui, and the wall was planted with holly.

A bald and white old man was reclining on a wooden chaise longue, smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth, half-squinting, looking at Zhang Kuan.

Du Kui first shook his face before he said softly, "Old man, Junbao is here." ”

The old man puffed a puff of white smoke from his nose, and then he held his hands on, sat up with difficulty, and then slowly stood up. waved to Zhang Kuan, "Come here, ask the master to take a look." ”

Although Zhang Kuan is mixed, he can also distinguish the good from the bad, although the white fat old man in front of him, although he looks kind, but there is a strange coldness in his bones, which makes him involuntarily timid and afraid.

However, seeing Du Kui standing beside him with low eyebrows, he said that he should not do himself badly. So he was bold and walked up to the fat old man.

Old Man Gu looked at Zhang Kuan with satisfaction, pinched his shoulders, patted his chest, and said hello three times before asking, "Zhang Junbao, Hong Fist, Xingyi, kill the dog, which do you want to learn from me?"

Zhang Kuan was stunned when he heard this, he was going to accept himself as an apprentice? Isn't it like what he played on TV, and he still felt happy, and replied, "That kind of is the simplest, if you can get money, you can learn that." ”

Gu Wansan was stunned when he heard this, and laughed again, "It's simple, come to money, that's killing dogs." There are more heroes than dog slaughterers, you kid, it's a bit interesting. ”

After Gu Wansan finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Kuan with a smile, but he didn't speak, Zhang Kuan's scalp was numb, and his heart was empty, but he couldn't guess what he meant.

Next to him, Du Kui came over and kicked on Zhang Kuan's leg socket, and scolded in his mouth: "Don't kneel down to worship yet." ”

Zhang Kuan came to his senses at this time, looked at the white fat old man with a red face, and asked, "Do you want to serve tea and kowtow?"

As soon as the words fell, a little girl in red clothes came in from the side door, unusually heroic, holding a tray with a cup of tea on it, and walked straight to Zhang Kuan.

This meaning is not obvious, that is, Zhang Kuan serves tea and kowtows.

Zhang Kuanxin said that the old man has such a big shelf, and everything has been prepared in advance.

He took the teacup and said, "The master is on top, please drink tea." He held the teacup high and sent it to the old man white.

Old man Gu Wansan saw a smile on his face, and was about to pick it up, but he heard the girl in red on the side say, "Wait." ”

The girl took out a 5S from her pocket, adjusted the lens, aimed it, and said, "Okay, let's drink tea." ”

When Zhang Kuan got up after kowtowing three times, the girl's circle of friends had been updated, and it read: It's so interesting, grandpa is almost eighty years old, and he actually accepted a little apprentice, it's so funny.

In the photo, Zhang Kuan looked at Gu Wansan with a solemn expression on his face, and the teacup in his hand was emitting white smoke.
