Chapter IV: Compensation
Old man Liu is eighty-four years old this year, and he has experienced a lot of winds and waves in his life, but he is not afraid of changing people's lives against the sky and suffering from the curse of heaven to reduce his longevity.
It's just that even the master who taught him the art of physiognomy back then couldn't use it, and even if Old Man Liu wanted to help Qin Feng, he didn't have the ability to defy the sky.
"Dad, just let him go?"
After hearing his father's words, the second child of the Liu family, who had not succeeded in accepting apprentices, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The eight-pole boxing method passed down by the Liu family adheres to the lineage of the divine spear Li Shuwen, and it can be said to be the most authentic eight-pole boxing method, if Qin Feng has not cultivated his internal strength, it is nothing if he only learns some tricks.
But now Qin Feng is obviously the first to get a glimpse of the door, if he can't be included in the door, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, he should also take back Qin Feng's efforts.
"Second brother, there are not many people who are willing to learn martial arts now, don't have that narrow view anymore."
Old Man Liu naturally knew his son's thoughts, and shook his head at the moment and said: "Back then, Zen Master Yang Lu stole Chen Changxing, and a good story was handed down, and your ancestor didn't ask about his background, could it be that I can't do it when it comes to your old man?" ”
"Dad, I was wrong!"
was taught by his father, Liu Jiacheng couldn't say a word, because the allusion that the old man said was known to almost everyone in the rivers and lakes.
Yang Luchan is the founder of Yang's Taiji, who has been martial arts since childhood, and is forced to make a living because of his family's poverty, and works in the traditional Chinese medicine brand "Taihetang" on Xiguan Street in Guangping Prefecture.
This pharmacy was opened by Chen Dehu, a native of Chenjiagou in Jiaowen, southern Henan, who saw that Yang was diligent, faithful, reliable, and intelligent and capable, so he sent him to work in his hometown of Chenjiagou in Jiaowen, southern Henan.
It happened that Tai Chi master Chen Changxing borrowed Chen Dehu's family to teach apprentices, Yang was very envious in his heart, and he had the heart to learn art, but one was complicated, and the other was afraid that Chen would not accept himself, although he knew the taboos of the rivers and lakes, but because of his eagerness to learn the arts, he watched from the side when Chen's master and apprentice practiced boxing, and wrote down certain moves by heart, and practiced privately when no one was around.
Later, Yang Luchan's behavior was discovered by Chen Changxing, and seeing that he was a talent that could be created, not only did he not blame him, but boldly abandoned the view of the door and the taboo of the rivers and lakes, and allowed him to formally learn Taijiquan in his spare time, which created a generation of Taiji master Yang Luchan.
"Grandpa Liu, Master Liu, xiexie you!"
Hearing that the old man let him go, Qin Feng, who suppressed the disappointment of his apprenticeship, bowed deeply to the two of them, turned around and walked out.
As for what Old Man Liu said just now that he died early, Qin Feng didn't understand it much, but even if he did, he wouldn't take it to heart, he had been wandering alone with his sister for a few years, he had long been jealous of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and his courage was not ordinary.
Just as Qin Feng was about to step out of the courtyard, the old man suddenly said: "Little guy, come early in the future, there is no shortage of food for one person at home!" ”
"Grandpa Liu, I still have a younger sister." Qin Feng shook his head and declined the old man's kindness.
"Stupid boy, why don't you just bring it with you?"
Old man Liu sighed, he had long known the situation in Qin Feng's family, but because Qin Feng had a different appearance from ordinary people, the old man had not helped, but now that his limit was approaching, he was not afraid of anything.
"xiexie, xiexie grandpa liu!"
Hearing the old man's words, Qin Feng suddenly became stunned, his thin body trembled, he could not accept his help, but if he could let his sister live a stable life, he was willing to pay any price.
Turning around slowly, Qin Feng knelt down in front of the old man Liu in the courtyard, and after kowtowing respectfully, he got up and disappeared into the night.
After Qin Feng left, Liu Jiacheng looked at his father and said, "Dad, I think this kid is also affectionate, why don't you want to accept him as a beginner?" ”
"You know what?"
The old man waved his hand and said: "This kid has strange bones, if he can survive the catastrophe of fate, he will either be a saint of the world, or a hero of troubled times, but in my opinion, the latter is more likely......"
Liu Yunjiao has been bumpy and displaced all his life, and it is not until his later years that he can be regarded as returning to his roots, he doesn't want his descendants to be the same as himself, even if Qin Feng's qualifications are good, he doesn't want to be too deeply involved with him.
But the old man is kind-hearted after all, he looks at Qin Feng's brothers and sisters pitifully, if Qin Feng really responds to the disaster in the future, he wants to help the girl and be raised by the Liu family.
---------
"I don't have to leave my sister alone at home at night......"
Although he failed to worship his teacher, Qin Feng was still very happy, not because their brother and sister's dinner had been settled, but because they didn't have to leave their sister alone at night to learn martial arts.
You must know that if it weren't for the protection of rhubarb some time ago, his "home" would have almost been broken into by a person who was not very nervous, which made Qin Feng worry for several days.
"Ah Feng, wait for me!" Qin Feng, who was hurrying home, suddenly heard Liu Zimo's voice behind him, and hurriedly put his feet on his feet, with a smile on his face.
After encountering an accident at home, Qin Feng, who was originally cheerful and lively, became silent, and had no other friends except for his sister, but after coming to Cangzhou, he became friends with Liu Zimo.
It was more than three years ago one afternoon, Qin Feng came back with his sister to pick up the rags, and was stopped by a group of half-sized people on the road to coax, calling them the king of rags.
At that time, Qin Feng had been stealing teachers for two years, although his nutrition could not keep up, none of these boys were his opponents, but Qin Feng didn't take these ridicules to heart at all, and prepared to leave with his sister.
At this time, Liu Zimo, who had just been sent to the mainland by his father, appeared, he had been practicing Bajiquan with the old man since he was a child, and his kung fu was much deeper than Qin Feng.
I don't know if it's because of the difference in education, Liu Zimo didn't look down on Qin Feng, but admired him for his behavior of taking his sister alone, and privately passed on the Baji Quan technique to him, and the two became friends.
"Zimo, xiexie you!" Qin Feng turned around and said, "Ming'er, I'll take my sister over, why are you chasing after me again?" ”
"Ming'er is Ming'er, there are today's things today!"
As the most favored junior of the Liu family, Liu Zimo usually behaves in front of his elders, but in front of his friends, he seems to be much more casual, took out an object from his pocket, Liu Zimo handed it over, and said: "Ah Feng, this is for you." ”
"Money? Why give me money? ”
After seeing the ten-yuan bill rolled together in Liu Zimo's hand clearly through the dim street lamp on the side of the road, Qin Feng's face became a little ugly, and he shook his head and said, "Ah Feng, you have known me for so long, don't you know my temper?" ”
When his parents were alive, Qin Feng heard the most common sentence was what his father said, "Sweat your own sweat, eat your own food, rely on your parents by heaven and earth, you are not really a good man!" ”
After the death of his parents, although Qin Feng lived in embarrassment, he never forgot his father's words, he had picked up the rags over the years, helped others harvest crops and planted rice, but he had never received anyone's favor in vain.
If it weren't for watching my sister grow up day by day, if she didn't go to school, she would be delayed, I'm afraid that Qin Feng wouldn't accept Old Man Liu's kindness this time.
So when he saw the money handed over by Liu Zimo, Qin Feng's face changed on the spot, if it weren't for such a only friend, he would probably have to turn around and leave.
"I still don't know your temper?"
Seeing Qin Feng's appearance, Liu Zimo couldn't help laughing, and said: "Here are two hundred yuan, don't look at me, I don't have that much money for you, this is given to you by grandpa, he said you deserve it." ”
"Deserved?" Qin Feng was confused by what Liu Zimo said, "What did I do to give me so much money?" ”
In the ninety-second year, the monthly salary of railway workers was only about 100 yuan, and it was not a small amount to give three or five yuan for a wedding wine, and two hundred yuan was a huge amount of money that Qin Feng had never thought of.
"Remember that snuffbox you gave me?"
Liu Zimo said triumphantly: "Ah Feng, that's a baby, listen to my grandfather, it's a porcelain enamel painting snuff bottle made by "Gu Yuexuan", maybe it was used by Qianlong before." ”
"Wait, you let me think about it......" Qin Feng seemed to understand a little, "You're talking about the glass bottle with things painted inside the transparent, right?" ”
More than a month ago, Qin Feng picked up a glass bottle, and after washing it, he found that there were paintings painted inside, which was very exquisite.
This glass is worthless, so he didn't sell it, and gave it to Liu Zimo, Qin Feng knew that his good friend usually secretly sent something to Qin Jia to eat, and picked up something funny, and he also thought of Liu Zimo for the first time.
Seeing Qin Feng thinking about it, Liu Zimo nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, that's it, hey, Ah Feng, my grandfather said that this is a baby, if it weren't for the bottle mouth being a little broken, you can change the house!" ”
"So valuable?"
Qin Feng was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, even in this urban-rural junction, a house would cost thousands of yuan, and just such a broken glass bottle could be worth so much money?
"What do you know, it's called an antique, but it's not for you to sell waste paper!"
Liu Zimo stuffed the money into Qin Feng's hand as he spoke, and said, "My grandfather said, it's not good if you take too much money, in the future, you brothers and sisters will eat and live in our house, and you will make up the rest of the money to you!" ”
