Volume 1 The Mist of the Green Mountains Chapter 11 Enlightenment
Li Dali has been very lenient with his son in the past two days, in order to let his son sleep more, he got up early every day, sprinkled and cleaned the room, Yulan also prepared breakfast, the family ate, and Li Dali went to the mountains to hunt as usual. However, the hunting team in the village did not participate, but only hunted some hares and pheasants nearby, and picked some wild vegetables and wild fruits for the family. Magnolia peeled and washed the hares and pheasants, put some salt and wild onions, and simmered them carefully with spring water in the mountains to replenish his son's body.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of practicing martial arts, on this day, Xiao Li Qingji got up three times, and breakfast had to wait until he came back from practicing martial arts, Yulan quietly put a freshly boiled egg in his son's pocket, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and repeatedly told his son to be careful, so he didn't feel at ease to see his son go out.
It was still early, the mountains and forests in the distance were still dark, and every house in the village was lit with wind lanterns, which were made by the carpenter's grandfather in the village, so the road was not dark. In the early autumn, the morning in the mountains is still a little cool, Xiao Li Qing tightened his clothes, and played a little drum in his heart, the martial arts training ground is in the mountain recess more than a mile east of the village, where the terrain is flat and the venue is wide, which is a good place to practice martial arts.
"The village chief said that it was two o'clock, and now the hour is almost up, why hasn't anyone touched it?" Xiao Li Qing muttered in his heart, and his feet couldn't help but speed up his pace, and a few unknown beast roars came from time to time in the mountains and forests in the distance.
"I went to the martial arts training ground for the first time today, and I can't let those brothers and sisters look down on me. Xiao Li Qing cheered herself up, but she still couldn't help but occasionally look back behind her.
Out of the village, there is only a hazy moonlight on the mountain road, and the shadows of unknown trees on both sides are reflected on the road, moving with the wind, showing teeth and claws. The mountain wind pierces through the forest, like crying and swallowing.
"Li Qing, what you said with Daddy patting your chest, you forgot it so quickly? It's just such a little road, you are afraid, what kind of martial arts do you practice, how can you protect your younger brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts in the village?" Xiao Li Qing asked himself in his heart, he was much more down-to-earth, and his steps were no longer as flustered as he was just now.
In a moment, they arrived at the martial arts training ground, the field was re-leveled, paved with fine sand and loess, and stone locks, weapons, bows and crossbows and other equipment were arranged on the side. The field was empty, and there was no one to be seen.
"It seems that it's still early," Xiao Li Qing thought about and went to lift the stone lock, the three on the left could be moved, and ran to touch the weapon, some of them had been used by Daddy and his uncles, and some of them didn't know each other. Looking left and right, he picked up a gun, and stabbed it like Daddy, and he didn't realize it at first, and slowly brought a whistling sound.
"Good, good, good!" Xiao Li Qing was startled, and followed the prestige, only to see a red-faced man, born with wide shoulders and a wide back, a thin waist and narrow hips, and a long cone on his shoulder.
"Uncle Changfeng!" Xiao Li Qing shouted, jumping in front of the big man.
"Qing'er, here you want to call me to supervise Xi, a few days ago I heard the village chief say that you want to come to learn martial arts, I also wonder why the village chief made an exception for you, and followed you all the way today, sure enough, at a young age, good courage and understanding. We will accomplish far more than we will accomplish in the future."
Hearing the compliment, the little boy was a little embarrassed, and buried his red little face, which caused laughter around him.
The little boy hurriedly raised his head, and there were more than two dozen teenagers around him. There are eight or nine years old, and there are eleven or twelve years old. Because of the practice of martial arts, the body grows a little more open, with some heroic spirit. At this moment, they all looked at Xiao Li Qing with a smile.
"Alright, alright, all stand. Huo Changfeng drank.
In just a moment, the twenty or so teenagers stood neatly in two rows. The little boy turned his head to look east and west, and was at a loss.
"Today, I would like to introduce you to a new partner. Huo Changfeng beckoned Xiao Li Qing over, "This is Li Qing, he will train with you from today on." You boys, don't be beaten to your little brothers. ”
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Li Qing again, "Qing'er, I will start practicing martial arts today, and I want to get along well with my brothers and sisters here, and when you are older, you will go hunting in the mountains like uncles and uncles in the village to earn a living money for the villagers." At that time, you are all comrades-in-arms who have to trust your lives, and you must not get angry because of a trivial matter. ”
Xiao Li Qing listened to Huo Changfeng's words, although he still seemed to understand something, but he also knew that he wanted to be closer to the teenagers here. If you want to talk about the brothers and sisters here, Xiao Li Qing is no stranger, there are only about 100 households in this village, and they don't see each other when they look down on weekdays, and the children in the village often string back and forth in each house. Almost all the teenagers here have taken Li Qing to play, and when they heard Huo Changfeng speak, they didn't wait for Xiao Li Qing to react, and they all responded.
Today, only Xiao Li Qing is the newcomer, and Huo Changfeng opened a small stove for the little boy alone: "Standing pile".
This stake is the foundation of all boxing techniques, and the so-called mystery of seeking technical striking needs to start from the root of the stump. Standing on a good pile is the basis for practicing boxing well, and Huo Changfeng spent almost the entire morning on Xiao Li Qing.
"The head is straight, the tongue is on the roof of the mouth, the teeth are lightly tapped, and the lips are slightly closed..." Huo Changfeng corrected Xiao Li Qing's mistakes while tirelessly telling the essentials over and over again. Xiao Li Qing thanked Daddy in his heart at this time, if Daddy hadn't forced himself to carry water and chop wood for the past year, and exercised his body and bones, he would be able to lie down with a preparatory pose today.
Halfway through the hour, the martial arts practice was over, and Huo Changfeng told Xiao Li Qingxu to still come here to practice at the beginning. Seeing that Xiao Li Qing dotted his sweaty little head like a chicken pecking rice, he nodded with satisfaction, picked up the long cone and carried it on his shoulder, hummed a tune, and strode away.
Xiao Li Qing didn't think why Uncle Feng was so happy, he only felt that his legs were shaking badly, as if he was struggling to take a step, and was thinking about how to go home, those older teenagers gathered around at this time to cheer up Xiao Li Qing, talking about the interesting things they encountered, everyone talked and laughed all the way, and unconsciously entered the village. Although they entered the village, the teenagers did not go home, and still accompanied Xiao Li Qing forward, until they saw Xiao Li Qing enter the gate of his own courtyard, and then they dispersed.
Entering the house, Xiao Li Qing habitually called "Grandma", but no one answered, and Xiao Li Qing remembered that his mother was teaching the children to read in the school at this time. The little boy didn't know why, he suddenly felt a little wronged, and unconsciously shed two tears, and suddenly realized that he was now a martial artist, how could a martial artist still cry his nose, and he was busy wiping his tears, looking left and right, but fortunately no one came, and he felt a lot more at ease.
When I walked to the table, I lifted the drawer cloth, and saw that the table was full of food that I loved. The white bun is steaming, with the side dishes of stone fungus and white mushrooms on the mountain, the steamed stinging pork with wild garlic juice, and a pot of fragrant vegetable porridge.
Xiao Li Qing practiced standing on the pile for two hours, and he didn't feel hungry when he was tired before, but when he saw this table of food, where could he still bear it, grabbed a bun in his left hand, and held a piece of meat in his right hand.
After eating, he still did not forget to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and put the rest of the food into the bamboo drawer, and then fell on the bed to rest, and then thought of sleeping for a while and went to the river to find the old man, and did not want to open his eyes again It was already three poles of the sun, so he hurriedly got up and was about to go out, but saw his mother coming from outside the door.
"So urgent, where are you going?" Zhen Yulan was a little strange, this kid should be very tired on the first day of martial arts, why is he so alive now?
"Oh, mother, I'll go find steamed buns and Erya them. Xiao Li Qing was anxious and had to find a reason.
"It's noon, people don't eat?" Zhen Yulan looked at her son with some surprise, this child is naughty and naughty on weekdays, but he does things very measuredly, and he doesn't know what happened in the past two days, he has been playing crazy outside all day, except for Wen Shu, he can't see a single figure in a day.
When Xiao Li Qing saw her mother coming back, she knew that it would be difficult to go out, so she answered while taking the book from her mother's hand and turned around and put it on the table.
After all, it was her son's first day of martial arts, Zhen Yulan couldn't rest assured, and after school, she hurried home. I washed my hands, tied my apron, and turned around to go to the kitchen.
Xiao Li Qing knew that her mother was hard, and she was also busy helping her mother, while talking about today's martial arts practice. Zhen Yulan couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she heard her son practice so hard, and she was very grateful when she heard that the young people in the village took care of her son a lot. The people in this village from the age of twenty are basically Zhen Yulan's students, and most of the older ones have also learned from Zhen Yulan. Therefore, most of the villagers here take good care of Zhen Yulan's family.
After eating and reviewing his homework, Xiao Li Qing was thinking about finding some reason to go out, and the soldiers under him came to look for him.
Mantou and Erya knew that Li Qing was practicing martial arts today, and they couldn't bear to come for a long time, so they were stopped by their parents, saying that they were letting Li Qing rest and rest. finally stayed up until the afternoon, and the two called the big snot and rushed to find Li Qing.
The four of them went out of the village and found a quick open space by the river, Xiao Li Qing ordered the three children to stand one by one, and also imitated Huo Changfeng's appearance to teach the three of them to stand on the pile. After practicing for a while, Huo Zhanpeng couldn't stay up first, sat on the ground with his butt, and refused to get up again. Erya was the youngest, and when she saw her brother lying on the ground, she also lay down on the ground. Only a big snot, although his legs trembled badly, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down drop by drop, he refused to flinch, and still gritted his teeth and insisted.
"Hey, who taught you this?" the young men knew that it was the old man who had arrived, and they hurriedly stood together and saluted.
The old man didn't care, but waved his hand impatiently, and ran over to correct the posture of the teenagers one by one.
Xiao Li Qing was a little unconvinced at first, but slowly found that according to the old man's method, this stump was a lot easier, and he was not so tired, and he couldn't help but be very excited.
The old man saw that the children had become proficient, and hurriedly urged everyone to play the game of "catching people".
After playing this game for two or three days, Xiao Li Qing learned a lot of skills from the old man. Footwork is also practiced more skilled, today the three of them came for the first time, were caught by Li Qing and the old man frequently, after a while, the steamed bun and the second girl disarmed and surrendered, only the big snot one person insisted hard, and in the end there was a bit of appearance between the steps, and the old man was surprised again and again.
