At half past five the next morning, Zhou Yi woke up naturally again. After getting dressed, Zhou Yi ran to the Minli River and began to review the moves again. After reviewing all the martial arts moves that Li Xunhuan had left to him, Zhou Yi sat down cross-legged as in a martial arts novel, and began to run the internal force in his body that he could feel.

"Who?" Zhou Yi, who had just calmed down, although his eyes were closed, what was within a radius of several hundred meters from him was reflected in his mind like a movie screen. In these images, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties is standing behind a tree about thirty meters away from Monday and peeking at him.

The middle-aged man was surprised that Zhou Yi found himself, but he still turned out from behind the tree and walked towards Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi looked at the middle-aged man who walked towards him, and felt that he had no malicious intent, so the guard in his heart relaxed. However, Zhou Yi saw clearly that this middle-aged man who came over was not simple, he had a good martial arts body, and he was a master.

"This kid, you're really good at kung fu!" said the middle-aged man, standing four meters away from Zhou Yi, to Monday.

"Hehe, what's the matter, it's just a three-legged cat. I think Uncle is a master!" Zhou Yi smiled.

"Haha......" The middle-aged uncle laughed a few times and said, "Master? Maybe I'm a master in the eyes of others! But after I saw your fists and kicks just now, I'm not even a three-legged cat! Especially your kung fu of firing stones, although I am also sure that I can do it nine times out of ten, but I can't do it with the kung fu of being able to throw dozens of stones at a time and arrange them into such a beautiful pattern." This is the legendary "rain of flowers", right?"

"Uncle is really joking. I'm just practicing this game, fancy. If I really want to fight, I guess I'll be beaten. "I can't grasp the true identity of the middle-aged uncle, Zhou Yi doesn't want to expose himself. He was very strange, although most of the people in the village he knew without saying it, many of them were familiar. And this middle-aged uncle has never seen it before. Besides, this uncle exudes a mysterious power and the temperament of a superior person, which is not something that people in these small villages can have. "Uncle, whose relative are you in our village?" Zhou Yi finally didn't contain his curiosity and asked.

"I, a relative?" the middle-aged uncle smiled bitterly and said, "I'm from Yuan Zhuang!"

"I have lived in my grandmother's house in Yuanzhuang for ten years, and I know all the adults and children in Yuanzhuang, but I don't know you and me. ”

"I haven't been home for thirty years, how can you know me? My name is Yuan Renbin. My eldest brother is ...... Alas, the young left home and the eldest returned, and the local accent did not change and the sideburns declined. The children don't know each other, and they smile and ask where the guests are from!" the middle-aged uncle stopped talking, and the expression on his face was extremely painful. remembered that he hadn't been home for thirty years, and even when his parents died, he hadn't been able to send the second elder into the ground in person, and the middle-aged uncle fell into memories.

In 1967, 18-year-old Yuan Renbin joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army for the first time. That time, he left home with a smile, and the smile on his face was the truest expression of his heart. After joining the army, Yuan Renbin was selected by the Special Service Department of the National Security Bureau because of his hard training and excellent military quality.

Since then, he has never had any more vacations, no more real public identity. However, for the sake of the motherland, he still chose to enter the National Security Bureau without hesitation. He thought that by virtue of his own ability, he would be able to better defend the security of the motherland by participating in the work of national security. However, he didn't expect that after entering Guoan, it would be more than two years of devil training.

After the training, he lived as a foreigner in a foreign country where "the heart of self-destruction does not die", according to the leader. After 20 years of incubation, Yuan Renbin has successfully completed many arduous tasks, and his position has been promoted again and again. Finally, when the technical materials urgently needed by the motherland were sent back to China for the last time, Yuan Renbin and others came with an order to return to the motherland. The moment he borrowed the order, Yuan Renbin cried excitedly, crying extremely sadly. The moment he set foot on the land of the motherland, Yuan Renbin's thoughts about his parents became even stronger, and he desperately longed for the opportunity to go home to see the hometown where he was born and raised and the second elder who thought about him day and night.

However, a paper order made him choose to stick to it again. Because he was promoted to deputy director of the State Security Bureau, and becoming this deputy director means that his responsibility is even greater, and the motherland needs him even more. Another decade passed, and he unexpectedly received an order from the chief to return home to visit his family. A general who had made outstanding contributions to the motherland should have been embraced when he returned to his hometown, but he had to secretly return to the village alone.

When he returned to the village, he couldn't find his way home for a while. I struggled to find out where my eldest brother's family lived, but I heard the news from my sister-in-law that my parents and eldest brother had died. For a moment, his tears of joy at finding home turned into painful whimpering. Kneeling on the thatched grave of his parents, Yuan Renbin listened silently to the insects in the fields and the rustle of the wind through the crops, and the anguish in his heart could not be vented. Since ancient times, "loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve", Yuan Renbin interpreted the modern version of this ancient saying.

Although he was still depressed in his heart, he still maintained his military characteristics early in the morning and got up early to exercise. When he ran to the Minli River, he unexpectedly found Zhou Yi who was practicing martial arts. After a few sneaky glances, Yuan Renbin was "thundered". God, this kid looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, but he can practice with vigor and vigor. Especially in the back, Zhou Yi changed various ways to launch small stones, which made Yuan Renbin extremely surprised. He was very confident in his stealth skills, but as soon as he saw Zhou Jing quiet, he found himself, and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Yi again.

Zhou Yi looked at Yuan Renbin, who was caught in his memories, and began to look curiously at the middle-aged uncle in front of him. "Well, what a master! But it's not that hard to deal with. "Also, with the skills of Li Xunhuan inherited by Zhou Yi, although it is only eighty percent, but looking at the current world, it is estimated that the number one in the world is not a big problem.

Seeing the true strength of the middle-aged uncle Yuan Renbin in front of him, Zhou Yi began to think about Yuan Renbin's identity. Although he said that he was from Yuan Zhuang, Zhou Yi had never heard the older generation say that this person existed. However, his name is very similar to his cousin's late father, Yuan Renlu. Because the whole Yuan Zhuang is called Yuan Ren or something. Most of the other people's names are based on generations, such as what en, ming, son, and so on. This person can't be my cousin's long-lost brother, right? Hehe, there's a story, you have to dig it up......

"Little friend, what's your name, and who did you learn this kung fu from?" Yuan Renbin was the first to ask.

"Uncle, maybe don't call me a little friend? I don't like that. Zhou Yi was very dissatisfied with Yuan Renbin's name for himself.

"Hehe, the temper is not small. By the way, where is your grandmother's house?"

"My father's name is Yuan Minglei. ”

"Haha, it turns out that you are Minglei's grandson. I mean, look at how you kid is a little kind!"

"You know my dad?"

"I'm ...... your father" Yuan Renbin wanted to tell his identity, but the secrecy mechanism that penetrated into the bone marrow made him immediately shut his mouth again.

"Hehe, uncle, it seems that your identity is not simple!?" Zhou Yi didn't ask, smiled kindly, and said, "Okay."

It's up, uncle, if you can't say it, don't say it, don't say it. ”

"Hehe, you kid...... By the way, you haven't answered me yet, who did you learn your kung fu from?"

"Li Xunhuan!"

"You kid, if you don't say it, forget it, use Li Tanhua to fool me!" Yuan Renbin touched his hair in distress, but there was no dissatisfaction in his heart, and he couldn't blame others for hiding it himself. But he didn't know that what Zhou Yi said was the truth. Although Li Xunhuan never taught him, his martial arts were really passed on from Li Xunhuan, and it was not impossible to say that Li Xunhuan was his master.

Zhou Yi saw that Yuan Renbin didn't believe his words, so he didn't say anything, but stood up, waved his hand and said, "Then, uncle, it's not interesting for us to fake and fake like this, I'll go first!"

Yuan Renbin didn't say anything to stay, but looked at Zhou Yi's distant figure and smiled mysteriously, and said to himself: "It turned out to be my cousin, an interesting child......

When I returned home on Monday, my father was pumping up the family's worn-out bicycle, but my mother had already set breakfast on the table. After the family finished eating, my father and my mother went to my aunt's house in a neighboring province to borrow a tractor.

Before leaving, his mother told Zhou Yi to go to his grandmother's house for lunch today. (Zhou Yi's father was in Zhouzhuang, so Zhou Yi has two grandmothers, two fathers, and one in Yuanzhuang, where his father originally lived.) The other grandmother was twenty miles away in another village. Because Zhou Xiaohua's father died very early, Zhou Yi's grandmother in Zhouzhuang later married someone else, so she moved to other towns with that person, and later gave birth to three children, two boys and one girl. After Zhou Yi's grandmother left in Zhouzhuang, Zhou Xiaohua's two younger sisters did not follow him, but lived with Zhou Yi's parents, so Zhou Yi called Zhou Xiaohua's two younger sisters aunt and sister-in-law. The other three children are called uncle, uncle, aunt and so on according to the name of their grandmother's family. Zhou Yi's hometown is in the eastern north of Changhuai Province, only a dozen miles away from Nansu Province in the east. And Zhou Yi's father's sister married in a village in Nansu Province. However, the living standard of the people in Nansu Province is much higher than that of Changhuai Province, and the living standard of Zhou Yi's aunt's family is relatively rich in Zhou Yi's hometown.

His parents were not at home, but Zhou Yi did not follow his mother's instructions to go to his grandmother's house for dinner, but searched for more than 240 yuan from his parents' bedside table. With these two hundred yuan, Zhou Yi was ready to start his own blackmail plan. Zhou Yi calculated that it cost four yuan to the county seat, thirty yuan to travel from the county seat to the provincial capital, and sixty-eight yuan for a round trip. It costs about fifteen yuan for a night's stay in a small hotel, and it should take three or four days before and after extortion, plus food, two hundred yuan should be more than enough.

After calculating the money needed before and after, Zhou Yi packed the money, locked the door and set off.
