Chapter Twenty-Three: Separate high-profile people and low-key behavior

Zhang Feng returned to school, and after a while, the class began, and the three classes in the afternoon were used by different teachers to tutor the students. Since then, the following days have been spent unhurriedly in Zhang Feng's mock tests in the class, and listening to the teacher's explanation of the test papers.

Time unconsciously came to June 16th, during which Zhang Feng only saw Lu Suli twice, the first time was a week after Old Man Lu was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Feng went to Lu's house to eat again.

The second time was one night when Zhang Feng was in the regular meeting country, Lu Suli played cards again when he was on the night shift, and Zhang Feng asked Wu Mingkai if he had followed Lu Suli again. Lu Suli said that since Zhang Feng cleaned up Wu Mingkai, she never saw Wu Mingkai again. Zhang Feng was relieved after knowing that this grandson was quite honest.

On the afternoon of June 16th, after school, Zhang Feng went to the street to buy some gifts such as cigarettes and alcohol and some cooked food, and walked into Old Man Dong's house at half past six. Old man Dong was reading a book, and when he saw Zhang Feng coming, he made a gesture and continued to flip through his book.

Zhang Feng moved out the small wooden table in the kitchen familiarly, pulled two more chairs and put them next to the table, and said to Teacher Dong, "It's time to eat." ”

Old man Dong said; "Why are you willing to come today?"

Zhang Feng was a little embarrassed, because he didn't come to see Old Man Dong many times. After the two of them had eaten, Zhang Feng cleaned up, and the two sat down at the small wooden table again.

"How many times have I told you that if you want to eat something with my old man here, you can buy some cooked food or something like that on the street. But don't buy anything like alcohol or cigarettes. I heard you say that you earned some money in the town health center, which is estimated to be three walnuts and two dates. ”

"I'm the only one in my family, I have money in my savings, and I have a monthly salary. I will go to what I want to buy. Old man Dong said again.

"You're here to say goodbye to me today, I know your student status isn't here, you're going back, right?"

Old man Dong got up and put the book he had just read on the shelf, he took out a few books loosely wrapped in kraft paper from the pile of old books on the ground on the south side of the bookshelf, took these books, walked to the wooden table and sat down before saying, "If you don't come today, I'm going to look for you tomorrow, I really have something to tell you." ”

"Teacher Dong, you say." Zhang said busily.

Old man Dong put the book in his hand on the wooden table, turned around and took out a stack of bill-like papers from under the bed behind him, handed it to Zhang Feng and said, "You take a look at this first." ”

Zhang Feng took a look at it, and couldn't help but be in awe of Old Man Dong in his heart, this stack of bills were all donation receipts and some bank transfer stubs from charities. But most of the donations are in Jiangbei Province, Hui Province, and of course, there are some in Yu Province.

"Teacher Dong, what is this donation, what are you showing me this for?"

"You're leaving, the teacher has something to say to you, and wants to ask you for some help."

Old man Dong didn't wait for Zhang Feng to answer, then continued: "In 40 years, our regiment was broken up by Lao Ri near Dabie Mountain in Hubei, and my comrades-in-arms around me were sacrificed, and I was also seriously injured.

The old white surname in the mountains knows that I was injured when I was fighting the old days, and he is kind to me. But they are all too poor. For nearly a year, I haven't even drunk a bowl of noodles, and I've slandered me. Can you imagine the taste of a person from Yu Province who hasn't drunk noodles for nearly a year?"

"Oh, those two books were also found in a cave there at the time. I went there again after I was rehabilitated in the past eight years, but I didn't expect that after so many years of liberation, they were still very poor. So over the years, most of my money has been donated there, but I guess it's a drop in the bucket. ”

Old man Dong took a sip of water, pointed to the books on the wooden table and said: "These books are very valuable, last month I read from a newspaper that there is an ancient book on Hong Kong Island that has been auctioned for more than 3 million yuan. ”

"In my opinion, the value of that book is about the same as mine, maybe it's not as good as mine." Old man Dong said again.

I thought about selling my books and exchanging them for money to build a fund to help farmers in the Dabie Mountains and mountainous areas. But I obviously can't do it myself, and there are no other suitable people. “

"I just want to give you these books, and when you step into society, I'll help the teacher do this, okay?" Old man Dong finally said.

Zhang Feng said in his heart, you said that there are no suitable people, can I say no. hurriedly expressed his determination.

Old man Dong said again: "Originally, it was all wrapped, and the medicine I prepared was also put in it for at least seven or eight years, and I am not afraid of mold, insects and rats." Eight years later, why don't you step into society? ”

"But I didn't expect that a few days ago, my old comrade-in-arms of a provincial CPPCC asked his son to drive me to Heshi, and when we talked on the phone, he wanted to borrow a few books from me to see, including one I wrapped. He said he would return it to me in November this year. So you remember to come back to me at the eleventh holiday. Old man Dong arranged for Zhang Feng to say.

After Zhang Feng agreed, he asked: "Teacher Dong, you participated in the People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, why are you still rehabilitated?" Old man Dong smiled, since you asked, the teacher will tell you.

Old man Dong took another sip of water before saying: "Your teacher and I were originally from Dongjiazhuang near Songshan Mountain in Zhongguan, our province, and my family can be regarded as a family of national arts." When I was young, I made a big mistake and was kicked out by my father, who was also the patriarch of my village. ”

"It was the end of 31 years, and I was arrested by the national army not far from the village, saying that I was going to go out of the customs to fight the old day, so I joined the army, that is, joined the national army. It wasn't until the Battle of Xu Beng, oh, that is, he was captured during the Battle of Huaihai that he joined the PLA. ”

"I was demobilized and changed jobs until the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea ended." Old man Dong continued.

"I prefer to tinker with some herbs or something, and when I was demobilized, I went to work at the provincial university. Later, when there was turmoil, I was also 'bull ghost snake god' and was brought here to transform. Old man Dong said again.

Zhang Feng accompanied the old man Dong and sighed. Old man Dong suddenly said to Zhang Feng: "Although I know that your national art may not make any progress, I still want to give you a pulse, come, stretch out your hand." ”

Zhang Feng had no choice but to stretch out his hand and said in his heart: Brother is a genius, don't scare your heart attack.

"Ahh At the beginning of the Chen-level, but the fullness of your internal strength is about the same as when I was in the late Chen-level of the year. Well, forget it, I won't ask either. ”

At this time, Zhang Feng realized that although he was in the early stage of the Chen level, the degree of internal force filling was comparable to that of the ordinary late stage of the Chen level.

This is the main reason why I can lift the big rock in the backyard of the donkey butcher's shop.

At that time, I wanted to move it up, so I put it down. scared Wu Mingkai's grandson, but when he moved it, he didn't think it was too heavy, so he lifted the big stone with his hand. At the time, it was thought that the stone might be lighter. Looking at it now, it should be his own strength.

Thinking about it like this, this self-confidence was extremely inflated and hurriedly said: "Teacher Dong, like me, can be regarded as a master, in the future, if I encounter a robber, thief or something, when the time comes, my tiger body will be lifted, and the spirit of the king will be released, they should surrender, right?" ”

", you're still a master, if you do that often, it's probably not far from death. The entire Chen level is just laying the foundation, the star level is the entry, and it is only a master when it reaches the month level. There are many masters in the village, be careful not to provoke others. Old man Dong said disdainfully.

"After all these years, why haven't I seen any of them?" Zhang Feng said in his heart, I haven't seen it in my previous life.

"I told you last time, and you didn't say you didn't see anything?"

But classmate Zhang still said: "It's still not right, Mr. Dong, it's not common in peacetime, I can understand it, but not to mention that when the Eight-Nation Alliance burned the Old Summer Palace, he didn't hear of any martial arts masters coming out to turn the tide when Japan invaded China?" ”

Old man Dong said: "Those who can move mountains and reclaim the sea, that is not a person, that is a god, ordinary people are no matter how high the cultivation of national art is, they are also flesh and blood, it is true that they are much stronger than ordinary people, so there is a limit, isn't it?" ”

"As for cultivating to a power that exceeds the yang level, it is estimated that it will not be able to exist in this world. In history, there are recorded masters of national arts, there are three heroes of wind and dust in ancient times, five big sword kings in modern times, and three swallows and Li San, right. Their national art cultivation should be very high, right? Old man Dong continued.

Old man Dong took a sip of water and continued: "During the War of Resistance Against Japan, why didn't there be any cultivators of national martial arts to participate in the war, when I first joined the national army in 31 years, it was the late stage of the Chen level, you studied Huang Jiguang, Dong Cunrui, and other heroic deeds of a few people when you were in school, do you think they are ordinary people?" Is this a name-and-surname, and there are few unsung heroes? ”

Old man Dong took a breath and continued: "This is just the people's hero on the side of the ruling party, our army is fighting the enemy on the frontal battlefield, and how many masters of national art have been sacrificed. ”

"In 42 years, our regiment went to Burma with General Sun to participate in the war, General Sun's personal platoon of more than 100 people, each of whom cultivated to the lowest level and the early stage of the star, a certain battle of the personal soldier platoon to cover General Sun's retreat, after the war there were few more than 100 people left, after the war, our army General Sun Liren looked up to the sky and sighed, my General Sun Liren ......"

Old man Dong's mouth splashed, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and of course his voice became higher and higher.

Zhang Feng hurriedly said: "Stop, stop, stop, I said, Mr. Dong, you be quiet, don't call the police in a while, although the crime of counter-revolution has been abolished now."

"But if you are so loud, it is difficult to guarantee that the police will not punish us for the crime of disturbing social order."

Zhang Feng continued: "Teacher Dong, I know, there are many masters in the village, don't pretend to be a man, pretend to be a thunderbolt, I will be a high-profile person in the future, and I will be a low-key person."

Old man Dong said: "Let's not talk about the rest, there is one thing you must remember, no matter who asks you at what age you started to practice national art in the future, you must tell them that you started practicing at the age of five." Remember, remember. Zhang Feng nodded in agreement.

The two chatted for a while, and Old Man Dong repeatedly explained to Zhang Feng some taboos about walking in the world as a cultivator of national arts, and repeatedly emphasized it. Zhang Feng and Old Man Dong said that they would not come over when they left the day after tomorrow, and they came to say goodbye, and said that he would definitely come over and say goodbye when he was on holiday.
