Chapter 123: The Tea Merchant
Smith's hand surprised Li Cheng, daring to use a saber to stab the gap between his fingers, it can't be said that Smith is alone, but the people who do this are undeniably people with extraordinary courage, and they are trained for a long time and have full grasp, I saw Smith double the rhythm of the knife from the speed of one second just now, a series of dazzling techniques, showing in the gaps between the fingers, as if dancing on the tip of a knife, a careless will fall into a situation of no return, as a cowboy, There is no doubt that the important surname of the finger is that once injured, it will be difficult for the rodeo in the new quarter of July to achieve good results, which is a devastating blow to Smith to defend the bareback riding bison, but it is precisely because of such a bond, so decisively out of the knife, or facing his fingers, it can be seen that Smith has really worked hard.
Li Cheng has also seen a similar technique before, that is to say, use an axe to chop the same place, every time the axe must be cut to the same part, otherwise it is impossible to have efficient chopping wood, this technique, Li Cheng saw his late grandfather perform it when he went home for the New Year when he was a child, chopping firewood in the countryside is a thing that men often don't do, but if you don't master the method of chopping firewood, even if you use all your strength, you can't match the number of grandfathers who only use less than half of their strength.
And with the inverted file, the visual impact is even greater, Fili seems to be used to it, this big brother, every time a visitor comes, he will show his hand, as if he is satisfied when he sees the adoring eyes of others.
"And said I like to show off, you're not the same before." Of course, Fei Li still didn't dare to criticize Smith in front of outsiders, so she had to slander herself.
"Awesome! Your hand, your hand is really wonderful! After Smith stopped, he was highly concentrated, and he couldn't help but ooze some sweat, and made an expression that was your turn, since Li Cheng can have a Damascus saber that is not inferior to the Nepalese saber, it means that Li Cheng is also a good hand at playing with knives.
However, Li Cheng was self-aware, pretending to be stupid, clapping his hands and exclaiming, trying to escape......
"Cheng, it's your turn, I finally met a saber lover, you can also show your hand." Smith's words hit the nail on the head of Fili, and she wondered what abilities the rancher of the Grizzly Bear Ranch had, or was he just an upstart? Because of Lao Pique's face, the two brothers and sisters were still very polite to Li Cheng, if it was an ordinary tourist, they would definitely not be so courteous.
Old Peake grew up watching the two brothers and sisters, Filly and Peel's daughter Alyssa are good girlfriends, they have been running around the ranch since they were children, and Peel has also worked for about ten years in the Liuhua Ranch, which shows the feelings of both parties, but the old Peake is dissatisfied with the contract salary of the old Jones in order to live, so he left the Liufa Ranch and went to other ranches to find opportunities, and finally signed a work agreement with Li Cheng, I have to say that this is fate! Old Peake's level of old cowboys is still quite difficult to find, and the cowboys at the rodeo festival are almost all young faces, that is, the new stars in the cowboy community, and the experienced old cowboys have long had owners.
"Yes, Li, there are no outsiders here, show your hand." Fei Li's words made Li Cheng shake his head and smile bitterly, at this moment, the surroundings were attracted by Smith's stunt, and the tourists who were still riding horses in the horse farm in the tourist area next door had already surrounded them. Everyone regards Li Cheng as a cowboy, he is also wearing a denim suit, and wears a blood-red cape, connected with a gilded lion head buckle, stepping on white riding boots, and wearing a grizzly bear printed on his head, which is quite a bit of a smashing scene, in fact, Li Cheng is to match the style of western cowboys, so this time he came to dress up a little swagger.
"Looks like I can't hide today." Li Cheng pulled out his Malaysian saber, a rattlesnake pattern on the knife was extremely clear, reflecting a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight, and tourists praised Li Cheng's knife from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that this young Asian might surprise them.
The momentum overwhelmed Smith, but the calm Smith was not abnormal, staring directly at his saber, the rattlesnake of this knife seemed to come to life, swallowing the snake letter, with an attack posture, which was intimidating.
Li Cheng also takes good care of this knife, so when he pulls out the scabbard, he presents everyone with a feeling similar to the peerless divine weapon out of the sheath.
After doing enough momentum, Li Cheng walked among the onlookers, found an Asian woman watching the excitement, and said, "Can you lend me a strand of hair?" ”
The reason why I looked for her was not because she was beautiful, on the contrary, during the day, black hair was easier to identify, and blonde hair would overlap with the sun, not to mention that this Asian woman's hair was very long, jet black and shiny, and there was no sign of dyeing hair, which was extremely rare.
"Yes." The Asian woman said in English with a Chinese style, so she was judged to be of Yue descent! However, when I see Asians in Canada's tourist destinations, it is basically either Chinese or those countries, and it is not surprising that there are people of Asian descent.
"Thank you."
Li Cheng took the green silk and put it on the table, everyone didn't know what Li Cheng was going to do, but Li Cheng said with interest: "Don't blink, everyone, the moment to witness history has come!" ”
Li Cheng held a horse saber, and the rattlesnake swallowed the snake letter, and with a knife, it slashed across the sky, and the hair was split into two halves in an instant. The fineness of a hair is difficult to observe with the naked eye at a distance, so everyone is very close, but few people see what Li Cheng did, only until Smith clapped his hands, stood up, and after putting away the knife, he twisted the hair on the table with his fingers that was almost blown away by the wind, and said: "Amazing!" Everyone, please see, a strand of hair was cut into two by him, and the degree of his knife use is completely beyond my imagination, Cheng, how did you do it? ”
At this time, the onlookers all checked the authenticity of the two strands of hair, and a thin white man brought a pair of glasses, similar to the feeling of an American otaku, and I don't know where to get a magnifying glass, maybe he is engaged in scientific research? After carefully distinguishing it, he said, "It is indeed newly cut, and you can see the gap inside with a magnifying glass, although it is very flat, but you can still distinguish that it is the same hair." ”
On the other hand, the companion who took the hair from the woman also asked her about the details, such as whether she had given two hairs.
Just when everyone was talking, Li Cheng pretended to be deep and only used one sentence to answer everyone's questions.
"Chinese Kung Fu!"
In fact, where does Li Cheng know what kung fu is, it is nothing more than relying on the sharpness of the Malaysian saber and the strength of his self-perception ability, he can detect the exact position of the hair, and he is extremely decisive in the knife, which means that he does not use any skills too much, but his eyesight and body coordination are much stronger than ordinary people.
At this time, a truck drove in, and a tall old man with silver and white hair walked down, who seemed to be about 60 years old, but his body was strong, his arms were thicker than ordinary people, and his face was full of white beard, he looked fierce, and roared: "Palace, Fili, come and move things!" ”
"Excuse me, everyone, please let me go, our father is back, we are going to move and unload the goods, Li, you can come with me, we will introduce my father to you." Smith and Fei Li ran over in a hurry, and the tourists consciously got out of the way, still muttering something, as if they felt that Li Cheng's performance just now was too amazing, listening to his explanation of the so-called Chinese kung fu, but there is a bit of credibility, after all, Chinese kung fu is still a relatively mysterious existence in the world.
Coupled with the promotion of film and television films and the rise of many kung fu stars, people abroad are extremely interested in Chinese kung fu. This is also something to be proud of the Chinese people, after all, some white people still think that every Chinese can do kung fu.
Not to mention that Li Cheng was almost investigated by the tourists, the rancher Jones came back earlier than originally planned, maybe it was the reason why the old Peake called, so after buying things, the old Jones turned back to the ranch, and when he saw the Asian man, the old Jones said very happily: "Hello, my name is Jones-Lee!" ”
"Jones-Lee? Sorry, I heard you right, right? My name is Li Cheng and I am the rancher of Grizzly Bear Ranch and a friend and owner of Old Peake. Li Cheng's reaction was still quite big, because what Li Cheng heard was that the suffix of the old Jones, the rancher of the Six Felling Ranch, was actually Li, and it was a very standard Chinese pronunciation, which means that Li Cheng did not have any possibility of hearing it wrong, and it was indeed surnamed Li.
Old Jones also knew why Li Cheng would react so much, after all, there were still quite few white people with the surname Li, so he didn't answer immediately, but bought a pass and said, "Cheng, if you want to know what I'm called Li, then help me move these damn goods in." ”
"Okay, no problem, happy to help." Suppressed many doubts, Li Cheng was first busy with old Jones, Dian, and Fei Li moving and unloading the goods, which seemed to be some common supplies and ingredients, and it was estimated that there was a month's inventory.
After all, Liufa Ranch is also quite far away from the town, and I go to the town once a month, make a big purchase, and load it back with the goods from the ranch, which shows that there are still a lot of staff in the ranch, not limited to these three people, they may all be working.
In the hotel of Liufa Ranch, as the owner of the old Jones also brought Li Cheng and others here, after coming in, the first sight is a lot of deer heads, cattle heads and the like, these are estimated to be their prey, and it is also the best thing used to decorate the ranch inn in general, reflecting the heroism of the ranch owner, in addition, there are many decorations, all with horses as the theme, the painting is Indian style, using a simple painting style, and there are many paintings of domestic animals, the whole style looks very warm, Quite a character ranch inn.
Finding a place to sit down, old Jones seemed to open the conversation, when he heard that Li Cheng was coming to Liufa Ranch, he was still very happy, the reason is that the two were a family hundreds of years ago, both surnamed Li, why does old Jones look like a typical white man?
This starts in the 16th century, when Jones's ancestor was a Chinese tea merchant, and in this long-distance trade, it was inevitable that he would marry and have children with local foreigners. So there is this line, after the old man arrived in Scotland, he married a local Scottish beauty, and then the descendants of the old man Li immigrated to Canada, and there is the old Jones lineage, and the ancestral assets make the old Jones's family well-off, so there is such a big ranch.
I have to say that old Jones is still quite proud when he talks about the glory of his ancestors, and Mr. Li seems to have a monopoly on the Scottish tea business, and he is also a famous figure in Scotland in the 16th century.
In this way, Li Cheng and Old Jones couldn't have been a family for hundreds of years, Li Cheng was quite curious, and wanted to see Old Jones's family tree, and if he compared his own family tree, he could really see something famous.
The reason why Li Cheng said this, in fact, is still a little unbelievable, this is too much of a coincidence, the 16th century Chinese-British mixed race descendants, their migration to Canada, after giving birth to white people of other nationalities, this so-called Chinese blood faded, but Jones still claims to be surnamed Li, it can be seen that he still admires the old man in the 16th century, there is a sense of belonging to the Chinese tea merchant, it is estimated that the old man still has a set, to the 21st century, his descendants still use the surname Li, and the family education is very strict.
Old Jones didn't fool people here to increase his relationship with Li Cheng, right? Li Cheng, who was full of doubts, put forward the idea of watching the family tree. (To be continued.) )
