Chapter 3 Money Opens the Way
Walking out of the alley, Lin Tian immediately felt a completely different scene from the 21st century, the spacious road was full of people, but the pedestrians were dressed distinctly, the poor were wearing clothes made of coarse cloth, with patches on them, their hair was messy, their faces were hungry, and they lowered their heads for fear of colliding with others. The rich people www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion are dressed in a more foreign style, all kinds of suits and windbreakers, stepping on leather shoes, carrying civilized sticks, oily hair and flour, and between talking, Chinese mixed with a few words of English, for fear that others will not know their origins.
There is also a look at the dress of a gangster, a coat made of black and white silk, draped diagonally on the body, stepping on a pair of cloth shoes, but a scholar combs a big oily head, and the waist is bulging, it should be carrying a murder weapon, showing a fierce face, deliberately teaching a few poor people, looking for a sense of superiority.
Before Lin Tian could take a few steps, he heard a passing newsboy shouting, "Outside, outside, Jingwumen Huo Yuanjia was defeated miserably and vomited blood and died." ”
"Outside, outside, Huo Yuanjia, the hero of Jingwumen, was defeated by the Japanese and was killed in the ring."
Lin Tian was shocked when he heard this, for fear that he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly stopped the newsboy and bought a newspaper. At this time, the newspaper was still read vertically, and Lin Tian struggled a lot to adapt to this article format. Sure enough, as the newsboy said, Huo Yuanjia vomited blood and died in yesterday's contest with Akutagawa.
At this time, Lin Tianke was dumbfounded, Huo Yuanjia hung up, how to complete the task.
Looking at the mission information again, the side quest still clearly said that Bai Huo Yuanjia was the teacher, Lin Tian thought about it, if the system did not make a mistake, this task should be complete, and decided to go to Jingwumen to take a look.
I called a rickshaw. It didn't take long to come to a small alley, the alley was deserted, and there was a large courtyard in the middle, with the sign of Jingwumen hanging on it, but the gate was closed.
But this is also normal, the fame of Jingwumen is played by Huo Yuanjia, in another movie "Huo Yuanjia", Huo Yuanjia won the first place in Tianjin with his fists, came to Shanghai, and fought with foreigners many times, never lost. This time, it was not only Huo Yuanjia who was killed by the Japanese, but even the self-confidence and dignity of Jingwumen were also knocked out.
After sending the coachman away, Lin Tian stepped forward and knocked on the door of Jingwumen. It didn't take long for the door to open, and the bottom disciple who was wearing a practice uniform, seeing that it was a stranger, said directly, "The Jingwu Sect is not a guest." With a bang, the door was shut, leaving Lin Tian alone in the wind.
Found a hotel nearby, Lin Tian made do with a night's sleep, slept until he woke up naturally the next day, went to a nearby store to buy some gifts, and went straight to Jingwumen with gifts.
Knocking on the door, the door opened, it was still the same disciple from yesterday, he glanced at Lin Tian, and asked angrily, "What are you doing?" ”
"I have heard the name of Jingwumen for a long time, and I came here from other places to learn art."
The disciple in the door, his face was even more ugly, and he felt that Lin Tian's words were like a merciless slap on his face, I have heard the name for a long time, could it be that I heard the name of Huo Yuanjia who was killed, and the disciple replied while preparing to close the door: "Jingwumen does not accept disciples now, go back quickly." ”
Seeing the disciple's face, Lin Tian also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately took remedial measures and hurriedly stopped him from closing the door.
"Eh, eh, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry." It can be regarded as not letting this disciple close the door.
Lin Tianji was sincere, and held the disciple's hand with sadness: "The junior brother is very sorry to hear about Master Huo's matter, but please be accommodating and meet the younger brother's wishes, no matter what, the younger brother has not come in vain." He took out a few silver dollars and stuffed them into his sleeve without leaking.
Feeling the heaviness in his sleeve, the disciple secretly pinched it, touched the appearance of the silver dollar, and the expression on his face looked much better, and he was not in a hurry to close the door and rush people, so he arched his hand: "This brother, I will try my best to help you talk about it, as for whether it will be successful or not, I dare not guarantee it." ”
Lin Tian said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, thank you brother." ”
It didn't take long for this disciple to run out, with a happy look on his face, no wonder, the few silver dollars Lin Tian gave him were enough to spend half a year, such a good thing fell on his head, of course he was happy.
The disciple stretched out his hand: "This brother, please, Uncle Nong is waiting for you inside." ”
Lin Tian followed his guidance, passed through the courtyard, and walked to the hall of Jingwumen, where there were old-style furniture, an old man sat on a chair in the middle, and a disciple stood behind him, as if guarding him. When Lin Tian saw this, he knew that this old man was Nong Jinsun, the great housekeeper of the Jingwu Sect.
Nong Jinsun is Huo Yuanjia's partner who grew up together, after the establishment of Jingwumen, he has been helping Huo Yuanjia take care of the finances of Jingwumen, it is under his management that Jingwumen can be carried forward, he and Huo Yuanjia, one is in the main and one is outside the main, except for Huo Yuanjia, that is, he counts when he talks.
Seeing Lin Tian come in, the old man opened his mouth with a serious face, "This little brother, I am Nong Jinsun, and I am the housekeeper of the Jingwu Sect, I don't know who the little brother's surname is, who his name is, and who he is, and he wants to worship under my Jingwu Sect." ”
Lin Tian had already had a draft, and bluntly said that he was a person from Beiping, graduated from Yenching University, and because he admired Mr. Huo Yuanjia and agreed with Mr. Huo Yuanjia's concept, he wanted to worship his subordinates.
This remark was half of a compliment to Huo Yuanjia, but also because Lin Tiansheng was very lofty, Lin Tian was definitely tall in the Republic of China, plus his extraordinary conversation, what he said was even more convincing.
After hearing this, Nong Jinsun's face softened, and he said, "I think you also know the current situation of the Jingwu Sect at this time, you are willing to come over to learn martial arts, of course the old man is willing, in this way, standing behind me are the disciples of Master Huo, you can pick one, learn martial arts with them, and also worship my Jingwu Sect." ”
Lin Tian shook his head, didn't speak, took out ten silver dollars from his bag, and put them on the table. He arched his hand and said: "Uncle Nong, it's just a worship ceremony, there is no doubt that the kid really wants to worship the Jingwu Sect." ”
Lin Tian's meaning of taking the money is very simple, I paid so much for the meeting, Nong Jinsun, you old fox, don't fool me, don't just send me away with a cat or a dog.
Nong Jinsun's eyes flashed, and he said, "Little Brother Lin, in this way, Master Huo's biological son, Master Huo, has not yet accepted an apprentice, I can make the decision for him and accept you as his eldest apprentice, what do you think." ”
Lin Tian didn't speak, just took out the silver dollars one by one and put them neatly on the table, with the previous ten, a total of a hundred silver dollars, a hundred silver dollars glittered in the sun, and the eyes of the disciples behind Nong Jinsun were a little red, not to mention that Nong Jinsun's face had already changed greatly.
How strong is the silver dollar? To put it simply, the monthly living expenses of an ordinary Shanghai citizen are about 6 silver dollars, which is equivalent to 1,000 yuan, and 100 oceans can make an ordinary family live for a year. In modern times, your parents will give you an ordinary, or even about to go out of business, can the teacher of the training class not be excited? Moreover, this is only the apprenticeship fee, and the tuition fee in the back must be collected correctly!
Lin Tian bowed his hand respectfully: "Uncle Nong, these are all apprenticeship ceremonies, when the kid was studying, he even admired Master Huo, and when he heard that Master Huo was unlucky, the kid was even more sad." ”
Speaking of this time, Lin Tian's face was sad, and he seemed to be about to shed tears. "The kid has a wish, that is, to become Master Huo's apprentice, and Uncle Wangnong will be fulfilled, even if he can't be taught by Master Huo's words and deeds, just a point, the kid is also very grateful." Speaking of this, he stood up, bowed deeply, and glanced at Nong Jinsun by the way.
Nong Jinsun's face had a complicated expression, and it took a long time before he spoke, "Ah Biao, take Brother Lin to the side hall to rest for a while, I want to discuss this matter with Tingen." ”
As soon as he heard this, Lin Tian's heart blossomed, complete the task, there is a door!
