Chapter 145: The Fengtian Beggar Gang
Keep asking for advice!
************
The moat of Fengtian City is formed by the convergence of five rivers, these five rivers are Tulong River, Fubei River, Tang River, according to Ma River and Xiaobai River, when Fengtian City was built in that year, it is the place where the five rivers converge are selected, there are five rivers arch guard in front, there are Tianliang Mountains to rely on in the back, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be regarded as a good place for both advance and retreat. According to the historical records of Fengtian City, the moat was 10 meters wide and 8.4 kilometers long, surrounding the old city of Fengtian City.
However, with the diversion of the upper reaches of the five rivers in Fengtian City in recent years, the water volume of the five rivers that used to be noisy and rushing has been greatly reduced, and it has lost the momentum of pouring thousands of miles in the past. Without the abundant water of the five rivers, the moat has lost its sparkling past, coupled with the vigorous progress of economic construction, people have no time to estimate the protection of the moat, a large number of domestic garbage and construction, industrial waste are dumped into the moat, the moat has become a garbage river, the river is overgrown with grass, trees stand up, and the sewage in summer emits a pungent odor, which makes people avoid. Some riverside residents are afraid to open their windows for ventilation in the summer.
Of course, such a place has become an ideal place for some underground activities, walking in the riverside park (in fact, it is a clearing surrounded by trees and grass), is there someone who looks at it and mysteriously comes to you; A girl with heavy makeup, she grabbed your arm and dragged it into the woods, and the fragrance on her body could smoke you.
"Dude, if you want an antique, it's only five oceans"
"If you want to smoke and soil, you will definitely be happy."
"Brother, come on, make sure you become a rich man overnight, buy big and buy small"
"Sir, come on, a piece of the ocean once, I promise to make you comfortable, I want to do it next time"
The police station has been cleaned several times, but as soon as it stops, there will be a resurgence here, and as for sending people to squat, the police station has limited manpower, and I am afraid it is not enough.
About 100 meters to the east from this filthy and dirty place, there is a large stone bridge that has been abandoned, and the reconstruction of the old city has cut off this section of the moat, and the large stone bridge that used to travel to and from people has been abandoned and hidden in the barren grass. Beneath this abandoned stone bridge is a safe haven for beggars.
Walking down the bridge along the embankment and turning the piers, you can see that the dry river bottom is densely covered with worn-out luggage, quilts, mattresses, sheepskins, sacks...... These are waste products that should have been thrown into the garbage bin in the eyes of others, but now they are beggars and homeless people who spend the night in the cold. There was no food or wine here, only enamel jars and broken bowls with few notches, and a dozen leftover chicken bones were discarded on the ground at will.
If it was daytime, most of the beggars and vagrants had already gone out to work. Their daily work is to stand on the street with old enamel jars and broken bowls in their hands, chasing passers-by and begging for some change, and some are begging for shops along the street and standing in busy places such as stations and restaurants. Similar to the general gangs, the beggars also have their own territory, each of them can only ask for it in their own territory, if they cross the border without permission into someone else's territory, a fight is inevitable, the winner can take the loser's territory, and the loser can only leave to find his new territory.
These beggars earn a lot of money every day, at least enough to eat and drink, but they never let people know their income, and they just fool the eyes of most people with their dirty clothes.
Peng Yun squatted under a large tree outside the riverside park, looking into the park, through the gap between the bushes and the trees, the thieves were looking for their prey, so that they could exchange their things or bodies for the colorful bills.
Raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, the time had pointed to 9:55, it should be the appointed time, Peng Yun stood up and walked slowly towards the riverside park, the broken bicycle behind him was thrown on the side of the road very casually, and the chain was not locked, he even looked forward to being stolen, so that he would have fun again.
"Brother, do you want to be blessed with longevity? The real Yunnan big tobacco soil, to ensure 100% of the best goods, now a big price reduction, to give you a nine-percent discount of five pieces of ocean one or two! As soon as he stepped into the riverside park, Peng Yun was stopped by a boy who was as thin as a bamboo pole, and the bamboo pole was babbling while handing a paper bag to Peng Yun's, with a smile full of obscenity.
"Oh, do you have your uncle, bring me two catties!" Peng Yun said with a smile, and then his face sank: "Get out, don't be unhappy!"
The thin bamboo pole shrank his head, maybe Peng Yun's words made his face unbearable, so he stretched his neck, which was not thick, like an ostrich, and was about to say something. Peng Yun grabbed his neck, shook his hand and fell on a willow tree next to him, smashing the bamboo pole with a bang, and almost lost his breath.
"I'm in a bad mood today, don't fucking mess with me, disappear from my eyes right away, do you hear me!"
Peng Yun's words were like a holy decree, the thin bamboo pole immediately got up from the ground, and ran into the woods like a rabbit.
For a while, Peng Yun's side fell into silence, and no one came to disturb him, he found a bench, sat on it, and looked sharply in the Western Zhouwei.
A middle-aged woman with heavy makeup walked over, sat down next to Peng Yun, rubbed her plump thighs under her short skirt that just covered her hips, and rubbed her plump thighs on Peng Yun's legs, while saying delicately: "Big brother, come on, idle is idle, come on, I promise to make you comfortable like God, it's the first time for me, absolutely clean!" "It's really okay for a woman to be thick-skinned, and anyone can see that she is an old "chicken", and she is still boasting that it is the first time for her.
"yes, but I don't have any money, will you?" Peng Yun smiled and teased the woman.
As soon as the woman heard that there was no money, she immediately stood up, twisted her ass and walked into the distance, and threw a sentence from afar: "If you don't have money, you should say it early, my aunt and grandmother have wasted half a day of talking and talking, and she is neurotic!" ”
Peng Yun shook his head helplessly, and suddenly looked directly at a bush not far away, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come out, since you are here, don't hide your head and show your tail!" ”
"Okay, it's worthy of Jiang Ming's son, and he really excels in kung fu" A vigorous voice sounded, and with the voice, a tall old man wearing a Tuanhua Tang costume turned out from behind the bushes and walked towards Peng Yun.
Hearing Jiang Ming's words, Peng Yun's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam, and then disappeared, looked at the old man opposite with a smile on his face, and asked, "Dare to ask who you are, how do you know my father's name and that poem?" ”
"I am Ding Yunpeng, the leader of the Northern Beggars Gang, and I am close friends with your father, and your father didn't tell you?" The old man sat on the bench opposite Peng Yun with a smile, put his mobile phone beside him, looked Peng Yun up and down for a while, and nodded slightly when Peng Yun's shining eyes looked at him.
"Beggar gang? Have you watched too much martial arts, and you actually made a beggar gang, do you have a dog stick! Besides, your old man's outfit is too outrageous, please can you make a better reason next time, and it will make me easy to believe it! Peng Yun felt more and more bizarre, the beggar gang knew, but that was from the martial arts novels they had told Sun Dong, how could there be in reality.
The old man didn't think about Peng Yun's questioning, reached out and stroked the beard more than an inch long on his chin, and waited patiently for Peng Yun to finish speaking, then he stood up and walked to the east. Peng Yun was very strange, hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up and followed behind the old man.
At the east end of the riverside park, there is a wide road, a black Volvo car is parked on the side of the road, and there are four middle-aged people standing next to the Volvo, all in black Tang suits, standing on both sides with their hands down, and bowing when they see the old man coming over.
The old man opened the car door, got in, then leaned out and glanced at Peng Yun: "Young man, are you interested in accompanying the old man to a place?" ”
"As long as your old man is interested, I am happy to accompany you!" Peng Yun was stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and also bowed into the car, one of the four young people sat in the cab, and the other three pulled the car and sat in.
After a rush, the car stopped outside the door of a two-story Chinese-style villa, four middle-aged people pulled the car door to cover their hands on the top of the door, respectfully asked the old man to come out of the door, Peng Yun also walked out of the car, curiously looking at the chic style in front of him.
The villa is a typical imitation classical style building, the surrounding wall is not the current iron fence type, but the traditional red brick wall, covered with yellow glazed tiles on the wall, the entrance is two red gates, nailed with copper nails, two bowls of large animal head knockers yellow and clear. Look at the area of four or five acres.
The old man stopped, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand stretched out to make a gesture of invitation to Peng Yun, and his subordinates hurriedly stepped forward and pushed open the red door.
"You are!" Peng Yun was confused, first the beggars, then the car, and finally came to the door of such a classical villa, what kind of medicine is sold in this old man's gourd!
"Go in, go in and you'll understand!" The old man was still smiling, as if there was no malice, Peng Yun couldn't help it, curiosity drove him to step into the door, and the old man followed him and walked in.
The scene in front of him made Peng Yun stop, the yard was paved with green bricks of one color, very clean, there were many weeping willows planted against the wall, dozens of human-shaped wooden stakes were buried in the ground, and the straw was covered with straw, and the straw was a little tattered, at first glance, it was caused by frequent blows with a blunt object, and there were four wooden stakes buried on the other side of the wall, and the wooden stakes were all one person high, and the number of each stake varied, but they were all arranged according to certain rules. On the north side of the stake are several blade racks, which are filled with swords, guns, swords, halberds and other eighteen kinds of weapons.
"Plum blossom pile, seven-star pile, nine-palace pile, ......!"
Peng Yun just glanced at it, blurted out almost without thinking, and the old man heard an approving nod behind him. seemed to be very pleased with Peng Yun's eyesight.
What really surprised Peng Yun was not these complete facilities, but because there were nearly 100 people neatly lined up on the wide training ground, all of whom were dressed in tatters, and they looked like a group of beggars, but it was these beggars who were practicing the same boxing techniques, in stark contrast to these beggars, standing in front of these beggars and guiding them to practice were actually some young people in Chinese-style practice uniforms.
And what these beggars practiced turned out to be Tai Chi, and it was authentic Ding's Tai Chi!
Taijiquan was founded in Chen Yongqing, Chenjiagou, Henan, and the latter was passed on to his descendants, which flourished in Henan, forming the Chen School of Taijiquan, while the other branch was introduced to Fengtian City in the north, forming Ding's Taijiquan, and the other was brought into Beijing (called Beijing at that time) by Yang Luchan, who stole the teacher's art, and formed Yang's Taijiquan.
Ding's Taijiquan is the north and south of Henan Chenjiagou Chen-style Taijiquan in unison, the division out of a door but each has its own characteristics, in some subtleties the style is very different, the founder of Ding's Taijiquan Taijiquan can be regarded as a well-known Taiji master in Fengtian City, but that is two or three hundred years ago, to the present, Taijiquan has evolved into a fitness kung fu that is mainly self-cultivation and physical exercise for the elderly, and there are very few real Tai Chi masters.
"Come, come here, I'll introduce you to a few friends" The old man beckoned to a few young people who were teaching the beggars, and introduced them to Peng Yun: "These are all the personal disciples of Ding's Taijiquan, this is Jiang Min, this is Yu Zhi, this is Lu Xiangkuan, this is Chen Hui!" ”
Jiang Min, who had a delicate face, and Yu Zhi and Lu Xiangkuan, who had a rough face, stretched out their hands enthusiastically, while Chen Hui, who was obviously the youngest on the side, wrinkled his brows and looked unruly, the old man glared at him, and then reluctantly stretched out his hand.
As soon as he took his hand, Peng Yun felt a huge force coming from the other party's hand, and his heart was bright, knowing that the young man in front of him was demonstrating to him, so the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he still smiled slightly, as if he didn't feel it.
Chen Hui felt that his strength was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no reply when he sent it, and the other party was like a 10,000-year-old deep pool, unfathomable. I couldn't help but be startled, and I let go of my hand, took two steps back, and stood beside the other three.
The old man saw that Peng Yun had thwarted Chen Hui's provocation without moving, and he was deeply satisfied, his apprentice had always relied on his favor, his eyes were too high, and no one looked down on him, this time Peng Yun frustrated his sharpness, it would be good for him in the future.
"And who are you?" Peng Yun was even more suspicious of the identity of the old man, these young people in front of him did not seem to be weak in kung fu, they should be regarded as good hands in the martial arts world of Fengtian City, looking at their expressions towards the old man, the old man should also be not a simple character.
"My master is the forty-sixth generation descendant of Ding's Taijiquan, Ding Yunpeng, and the vice president of the Fengtian City Martial Arts Association!" Before the old man could speak, Chen Hui had already spoken first, with pride in his tone! It seems that he is also pampered in front of his own master.
Peng Yun then remembered that Ding Yunpeng was not the descendant of Ding's Taijiquan, and there was a column in the Fengtian Times, which was an exclusive interview with some martial arts masters of the Fengtiancheng Martial Arts Association, in which the introduction of Ding Yunpeng was like this:
"Ding Yunpeng, the forty-sixth generation descendant of Ding's Taijiquan, is currently the vice president of the Fengtiancheng Wushu Association. Taijiquan attainments are profound, on the basis of the traditional Ding's Taijiquan, Taiji sword and Taiji dart, he has created the eight methods of Taiji, which is based on the most basic Taiji, pinching, squeezing, pressing, picking, pinching, elbowing, relying on the eight techniques and five kinds of footwork of advancing, retreating, Gu, Panning and Ding, forming a set of simple, easy-to-learn, convenient and practical self-defense techniques.
…………
Mr. Ding Yunpeng is not only profound in martial arts, but also committed to charity, and voluntarily organized the city's begging personnel to teach Taijiquan, which not only strengthened the body, but also allowed them to condense their will and improve their self-cultivation in the process of learning boxing.
…………。 ”
"It turns out that this is how the leader of the beggar gang came!" Peng Yun suddenly realized, and then he understood the reason why the old man claimed to be the leader of the beggar gang.
"Then how did you know my father, and how did you know that a man could do it?"
Peng Yun finally asked the doubts that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time!
