Chapter 14: Apprenticeship
Six-year-old Wang Huan followed his husband to the morning class, after lunch, he came to the street to wander out of boredom, this and that, but unfortunately he was shy in his pocket, and the few five baht in his pocket could not even afford a decent fruit knife.
Although his father forbade him to touch the blade, the literary works, film and television works he had read before made him fall in love with cold weapons and couldn't extricate himself.
Wang Huan, who was squatting in the blacksmith shop, watched the blacksmith uncle build the hoe boredly, and the blacksmith was accustomed to this child who ran to his shop to observe it at two ends in three days, and he did not drive it away, and let him look at it and touch it in the shop.
"You are so bold and bold! Do you know who's in the car behind me? ”
A loud drink outside the door attracted Wang Huan's attention, and the spirit of Chinese onlookers has continued from thousands of years ago and has not changed.
Wang Huan squeezed into the crowd and saw a yamen official standing proudly in front of a man with ragged clothes and unkempt hair, and jujubes were sprinkled on the ground.
"I don't know who it is, I just know that you knocked my dates down." The man raised his head and met the official's gaze without fear, and replied in a deep voice.
Rub!
The leader of the official drew the saber that was dangling at his waist.
The man's fists were clenched, and Wang Huan clearly saw that the man's hands were covered with a thick layer of calluses, and he looked like a practitioner.
"Dare to disrupt the people, dare to block the county order, see if I don't teach you a lesson today!" After saying that, he was about to swing his knife forward, and the onlookers were afraid of hurting themselves by mistake, so they retreated one after another, and continued to watch the fight that was about to be splashed with blood on the spot, but Wang Huan did not move, neither retreating nor stepping forward.
The man also put on a posture, although his clothes were simple and unkempt, he couldn't hide his masculine fighting spirit, and he had already lost in terms of momentum.
"What happened?"
A hoarse male voice came from inside the sedan chair.
The person in front of him not only did not flinch, but also put on a posture of being fearless, the official is used to seeing small citizens who don't fight back and scold and don't fight back, when has he ever encountered this kind of Leng Touqing who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head?
On weekdays, it is rich for officials to bully and bully ordinary people, but if they really encounter one move and two styles, they can only rely on crowd tactics.
The official who was difficult to ride a tiger heard the sound in the sedan chair, and ran to the outside of the sedan chair by taking a donkey from the slope and reported respectfully: "Don't be in a hurry for the county commander, there is a Diao people blocking the way, waiting for the villain to send him away." ”
County order: "Don't be vain. ”
Official: "The villain will take care of it." ”
The official ran to the front and said to the man, "I won't bother with you today, get out of the way," and pushed the man away.
"Get up!"
With the scream of the sedan chair driver, the county order honor guard swaggered away, and the onlookers also dispersed in a hurry.
The man sighed helplessly, squatted down with the basket, and slowly picked up the dates that had not been stepped on.
"Uncle gave it to you."
The man looked up and saw a young child holding seven or eight dates in his immature hands and handing them to him, and took the dates in his hand with a slight smile.
Wang Huan saw his face clearly, his face was sharpened and chiseled, he looked less than thirty years old, the palms of his hands were white, and the backs of his hands were black, which confirmed his judgment, and he squatted down and continued to help the stranger pick up dates.
The man looked at Xiao Wang Huan, although he was not wearing silk and satin, he still looked fresh and clean, he must also be a child of a rich family, it is rare to have such a child and share his own hardships, and he couldn't help but feel a good feeling.
After more than ten minutes, the two picked up the intact dates and put them in the basket, Wang Huan patted his dusty little hand and asked, "Uncle, can you beat him, right?" ”
The man looked in the direction where the official had left, nodded firmly, and then looked at the child who was only up to his knees with a loving gaze and said, "Little doll, where is your home?" If you don't go back, your mother should look for you."
Wang Huan looked at the man in front of him with wide eyes and admiration, is this the legendary hero who lives in seclusion in the mountains, has no quarrel with the world, but has great merit? "Uncle, can you be my master?" ”
"Master? What can I teach you? The man looked at Wang Huan in astonishment.
Wang Huan took the man's hand and walked forward: "Uncle, you must not have eaten yet, right?" Are you hungry? Let's go, I'll take you to my house to eat meat and drink. After saying that, he dragged the man in the direction of home.
"Alas, what are you doing?"
Wang Huan ignored the man's question, and dragged the family back by himself, the man couldn't resist Wang Huan, and besides, he was an adult who was afraid that the little doll in front of him would be sold? simply let him pull him away.
The blacksmith shop is not far from the palace, and it will be there in a while.
Standing outside the door, the man looked at the gate and thought to himself, he was really a child of a big family, although he was not a high-ranking official, but he was a hundred times better than a mountain village man like himself.
Wang Huan pushed open the door and pulled the man into the courtyard: "Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong, there are guests at home, you go and ask Brother Meng to prepare the meal." ”
After the old housekeeper looked for the voice, he looked at his son-in-law pulling a strange man, standing in the courtyard and asking suspiciously, "Son, who is this?" ”
Wang Huan put down the man's rough hand and replied, "Uncle Zhong, this is my master, you hurry up and get some food, my master hasn't eaten yet." ”
The housekeeper glanced at the slightly sloppy man suspiciously, and then looked at the eccentric little boy, and he didn't know which one he sang today: "Wait a minute, wait for the old slave to report to the master first." ”
"Everyone is home, and they still report a fart, poor and ......" Wang Huan pouted dissatisfiedly.
The housekeeper saw that the young master was unhappy, and hurriedly replied with a smile, "Okay, okay, the old slave will go to the back kitchen, and the son will take this strong man to the front hall to rest first." ”
After the old housekeeper left, Wang Huan happily pulled the man to the front hall to sit down, the man looked around the room with great interest, the front foot just arrived, and the back foot Wang Ran hurried over after receiving the housekeeper's report.
"The dog is young and ignorant, if there is any offense, I hope the strong man will forgive me......"
As soon as Wang Ran entered the door, he apologized to the man who was sitting.
The man was flattered and stood up and bowed slightly, bowing and saluting back: "Where, where, Ling Gongzi did the villain a favor today, what is the crime?" ”
"Oh?" Wang Ran suppressed his anger, his eyes swept around his son, and after listening to the man tell the story one by one, he turned his anger into joy.
When he looked at the man again, he also felt that the aura on this man's body was different from that of ordinary people, and then looking at his hands, only those years of training the blade would sharpen that kind of calluse.
Wang Ran instructed the maid to go to the back kitchen and politely invited the man to take a seat.
After the guest and host sat down, Wang Ran arched his hand: "May I ask the strong man, where does he live?" ”
After the man returned the salute, he looked at Wang Ran and said: "The villain's name is Weng Li, who is from Lijia Village, ten miles away from the south of Lujiang City, originally wanted to pick some dates and sell them in the city, in exchange for some money to buy rice and grain, but he never wanted to meet an arrogant official, and then he met Ling Gongzi, who had to worship the villain as a teacher, so he brought the villain to your mansion. ”
Wang Ran smiled awkwardly, after all, the county commander was his top boss, and his minions and himself were also in the same department, and he knew what virtues those people had: "Where is the strong man's teacher?" I see that a strong man is indeed a person who practices martial arts. ”
Weng Li sneered and said: "Hehe, the villain is a mountain and a wild villager, where did he come from, but the ancestors of the family built weapons, and it is inevitable that there will be one move and two styles." ”
Wang Ran: "Is that strong man willing to take my son as an apprentice?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the man was stunned and thought: Why is his son unreliable and Lao Tzu unreliable? It's clear that I'm a dick silk farmer, and after saying so much, Lao Tzu didn't reprimand his son, but he still messed around with his son?
Wang Ran didn't think about this question, the intelligence and love for martial arts that Wang Huan showed since he was a child couldn't help but make him feel that God treated him well, but such a good seedling followed him, he couldn't learn anything, and he couldn't teach what he wanted to learn, so it was better to let him out and watch his creation.
Whether you can build immortal achievements and become famous, or spend your life in vain, it depends on the child's own efforts, and it will be ruined sooner or later in his own hands, so taking this opportunity to let Wang Huan travel since he was a child is not necessarily a bad thing.
I used to want to find a master for my son, but the famous people in the city, I don't have the money to afford it, and he can't look down on the ordinary wild road, it just so happens that this person has a fate with Xiao Wang Huan, so just follow him.
"No!"
The mother in the side hall hurriedly walked out: "Master, don't you, Huan'er is only six years old, is it too hasty to let him leave home?" ”
Wang Ran shouted slightly angrily: "You are a woman, do you need to teach your son?" ”
In ancient times, when men talked about things, women were not allowed to be present, and they were not allowed to interject, which was extremely bad, which was equivalent to slapping their own man in front of others.
Wang Huan understood this truth and comforted his mother and said: "Mother, the child is not young anymore, and he can go out to travel." ”
As she spoke, she jumped out of her chair and took her mother's warm hand and walked towards the side hall, where her mother looked back at her angry husband with tears in her eyes, knowing that she couldn't change her decision......
An hour later, in the small talk between the two of you, I said, a fragrance came out of the side hall, which made Weng Li, who had already had nothing in his stomach, swallow his saliva, and after coming from the main hall to the side hall, the dining table was already full of tempting food, and Weng Li's index finger moved.
Wang Huan sensibly served a meal for his father and Weng Li, pushed away the maid, and poured wine for the two of them himself, which had to make Weng Li feel different, could it be that he somehow picked an apprentice, and really picked a treasure? So the young grade is so sensible, so can observe words and feelings, and when you grow up, you still have it?
"Huan'er, what kind of blades do you like?" Weng Li took a sip of wine and wiped the wine on his stubble, and looked at Wang Huan curiously to hear what kind of answer he would have.
Wang Huan thought for a while: "The sword, is made by the gentleman, the so-called one inch short and one inch dangerous, compared to the spear and spear, can make the opponent move by surprise, the gun, is the king of weapons, the so-called one inch long and one inch strong, can swing and stab, but I like the big knife the most, swing it wide open and close, without any fancy blows, can give the opponent the biggest blow." ”
"Hahaha, it seems that you and I are indeed destined, when I was young and practiced martial arts, I only liked big swords."
When Wang Ran heard this, he glanced at his son: "Huan'er, don't you want to see the master?" ”
Wang Huan knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and said in a decent manner: "Apprentice to meet the master." ”
Weng Li hurriedly helped Wang Huan up and said to Wang Ran: "The villain is not talented, I dare not say that I accept my son as an apprentice, I can only say that I will take care of it, as for what my son can learn, it depends on his qualifications, but I have one condition." ”
