The high-level seat carriage slowly regained its calm, and everyone looked at Wang Mengxiong with surprise and admiration, and a trace of fear. However, Wang Mengxiong also explained that his master is Du Xinwu, the hero of the north and south. These passengers suddenly realized that although they were a child, they were the apprentices of Du Xinwu, the hero of the north and south, so it was no wonder that they were so good. Fortunately, it was not a monster, but a famous teacher and apprentice, the last trace of doubt was dispelled, the sense of fear disappeared, and he quickly mingled with Wang Mengxiong.

Wang Mengxiong wanted to keep a low profile, but he couldn't stand the eager eyes of so many people, and the burning eyes of the men and women made him a little unbearable, so he had to run to the third-class carriage to breathe.

Because the third-class seats are relatively cheap, there are many passengers, and the number of people in the third class is huge, which makes the whole carriage smoky and the smell even more unpleasant.

Wang Mengxiong wanted to avoid the passengers in the same carriage who asked this and that to come here to breathe, but how did he know that when he arrived here, he was smoked by the carriage full of sweat and smoke, but it was even worse, and he continued to move forward, intending to see if the environment of the carriage in front of him could be better.

But just as he was walking forward, a one-armed middle-aged man in the middle of the opposite side saw him and his expression changed greatly, grabbed the hand of his companion next to him, and whispered: "Little nephew, don't make a noise, go with your uncle!" ”

One old and one young left their seats and ran briskly to the carriage behind them. Because there were still standing passengers, seeing that these two people had vacated their seats, they didn't care if they wanted to come back, so they sat down and rested temporarily. In case those two people come back, give them back.

Wang Mengxiong didn't notice the two uncles and nephews who had escaped, but the figure and back of the middle-aged man still gave him a familiar feeling.

"Should I recognize that person? Why did they leave when they saw me? No, I have to go over and ask him if he knows me, knows where I am, who my parents are? ”

Wang Mengxiong thought so, and his steps quickened to follow. However, one party had the intention to hide, and there were many people in the car, so they didn't catch up for a while, but the distance was getting longer and longer.

"Hey, hey, don't go, I have something to ask you!"

Wang Mengxiong shouted here, and the one-armed person in front of him was even more anxious, touched his body, and there was a ball of tattered things, which he took out and threw it backwards: "Here you go, stop chasing us!" ”

The nephew complained as he ran, "Uncle, why did you throw that thing to him?" Although the things are in tatters, they are the stuff we worked so hard to make. If it is a priceless treasure, wouldn't it be a pity to lose it? ”

"Shut up, have you forgotten who that kid is? Your uncle and I are not opponents, and if you want to take revenge on the two of us, your little life will be handed over here! Besides, it was in tatters, and it was worth an ocean or two at most. Compared to your life and mine, you know how to choose, right? ”

The two of them quickened their pace, and soon passed through the layers of people, completely disappearing out of Wang Mengxiong's sight. By the time Wang Mengxiong picked up the tattered thing on the ground, put it in his arms and then went from carriage to carriage to look for it, the two people had already jumped the train in advance, so he returned in vain.

"Who is it? Is it because you owe me money? Otherwise, how can you run faster than a rabbit? After thinking about it, Wang Mengxiong couldn't remember the origin of the one-armed man. I shook my head and turned back to the high-seat car.

After this episode on the road, the rest of the journey was smooth sailing, and soon the train arrived at Tianjin Station, in the crowded crowd, Yu Xingyun took Wang Mengxiong's hand and repeatedly told him to have time to go to his shop to get together. After Jing Dingcheng made a guarantee for Wang Mengxiong, he reluctantly broke up, and the two sides went their separate ways.

Passing by Jinmen, Wang Mengxiong remembered a person and felt that he had to pay a visit no matter what. It just so happened that Professor Jing Dingcheng didn't mean to leave in a hurry, so the two discussed it and immediately decided to go to the man's house first.

The two hired a carriage from the railway station to Xiaonanhe in Jinghai, Tianjin. When I arrived in the village, after a little inquiry, passers-by told me how to get there, and soon came to a courtyard of an adobe house. A young man of about 20 was driving a donkey cart and pulling a cart of firewood and grass to stop in front of the courtyard gate. Several young boys and girls are helping to unload the goods.

Seeing Wang Mengxiong and Jing Dingcheng stop in front of their house, the young man was obviously stunned, and looked at the old and young couple with some vigilance.

"Who are you? What are you doing at my doorstep? ”

Jing Dingcheng arched his hand and said politely: "This little brother, I am Jing Dingcheng, and this is Wang Fan." The two of us came from Shanghai and made a special trip to visit the widow of Master Huo Yuanjia, and I would like to ask you to make it convenient and say a word on my behalf! ”

The young man's expression was relieved, and his tone was obviously gentle: "I am Huo Yuanjia's eldest son Huo Dongzhang, and these are my younger brothers and sisters. It's okay to say goodbye, but my mother has been unwell recently, and I'm afraid I can't meet with outsiders. But since I'm coming from afar, let's go into the house and have a cup of tea, and I'll tell my mother to see if she can make an exception. ”

Jing Dingcheng thanked him again and again, took Wang Mengxiong's hand and followed Huo Dongzhang into the mansion. Wang Mengxiong didn't say anything, but carefully looked at the environment of the house.

This is a typical Yanzhao style courtyard, with a large courtyard, several adobe houses, and a few poplars and elm trees planted in the corners.

Huo Dongzhang led the two into the living room, and after serving tea, he retired and went to his mother's backyard to inquire.

After unloading the firewood and grass, the boys and girls went into the courtyard to laugh and laugh, occasionally looking into the open living room, and curiously looking at the rare guests.

Not long after, Huo Dongzhang led a middle-aged woman in plain clothes and dignified appearance to come in from outside, and Jing Dingcheng and Wang Mengxiong hurriedly stood up to greet each other.

The middle-aged woman bowed slightly, got up and said, "Please sit down, I am Wang Yun, my husband Huo Yuanjia." I don't know what the two of you have come from afar? ”

Wang Mengxiong took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. The woman named Wang Yun hurriedly helped Wang Mengxiong up, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Child, who are you?" ”

"Greetings to my aunt, I am Wang Fan, Du Xinwu is my master, and Huo Yuanjia should be my uncle!"

Wang Mengxiong's words are not nonsense, but true. Du Xinwu once told him that there were three famous martial arts people in the Beijing and Tianjin area back then, one was Du Xinwu, the hero of the north and south, the other was the king of the sword of the Beijing master, and the other was Huo Yuanjia, the hero of Jinmen, who was known as the sick tiger. It's just that Wang Wu joined the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 and died under foreign guns. Huo Yuanjia was killed by the Japanese doctor Akino with poison in 1910, and only Du Xin Wuyi is alive now.

"It turns out that you are Uncle Du's apprentice, so you are really not an outsider. You may be seated, who is this gentleman? ”

Wang Yun took Wang Mengxiong's hand, sat down, and looked at Jing Dingcheng, who was bookish.

"Mrs. Huo, I am Jing Meijiu, a professor at Peking University, and I came to accompany my friend Wang Fan."
