Chapter 82: Persuasion
Lin Fan walked up to Zhou Yuanzhi and picked up a long stick from a nearby shelf at random.
He first lightly flicked it, tried the weight of the long stick, and then made a gesture and said to the boy: "Yuanzhi, now try to attack me with the long stick in your hand!"
The boy was a little eager to try, but he was still worried about bumping into the guests, so he asked, "Do you know sticks too?"
The old man was worried that Yuanzhi's subordinates were not light or heavy, and he would offend the guests again after a while, so he wanted to stop it, he scolded: "Yuanzhi, don't be rude!" ”
The boy groaned and lowered his head, obviously a little disappointed.
Lin Fan smiled: "It's okay, you can just attack it!"
Zhou Yuanzhi was overjoyed, worried that his grandfather would stop him again, so he didn't say much, grabbed the stick, and went straight to Lin Fan.
The young man jumped high, raised the stick above his head, and slashed down at Lin Fan's door.
Lin Fan's smile remained unchanged, but he took a step back slightly, and his back flashed sideways, causing the young man's long stick to fall short and hit the ground.
At the moment when the boy landed, the long stick in Lin Fan's hand pointed straight forward, pointing straight at the young man's heart from the exposed space.
If it is solid this time, the teenager will have to recuperate in bed for more than half a month before he can get out of bed.
However, before touching the young man's chest, Lin Fan turned the thorn into a sweep, and the tip of the stick gently hit the young man's left and right hands. The boy was in pain, his hands were numb, and he could no longer hold the stick in his hand, he only felt that his hands were empty, and the long stick fell to the ground.
Lin Fan made it a coincidence, so that this young man was only in pain but not hurt.
Still, he smiled and asked, "How are you?" It didn't hurt, did it? ”
The young man hurriedly said that he was not in the way, he looked at Lin Fan uneasily, and only after a while did he ask timidly, "Can you teach me?"
Lin Fan said: "The stick technique you learned before, although it looks good to use, it is too fancy, there are too many flaws, and the practicality is not strong."
"You can practice this kind of charlatanism to this point, it is enough to see that you have a good talent and are also very hard-working. But it's okay if you run into ordinary people, but if you run into a master, you'll suffer a big loss! ”
The young man stubbornly asked again: "Can you teach me?"
Lin Fan laughed, "Do you really want to learn?" ”
The boy hurriedly hummed and nodded heavily.
Lin Fan smiled: "It's just some stick skills, and it doesn't matter if I teach you." Not only sticks, but also many weapons and fists and kicks, I can teach you if you want to learn! ”
The boy's eyes lit up, "Really? ”
"Nature is true! Is it any good for me to lie to you? But if you want to learn from me, you have to think clearly, if you want to learn, you can't give up halfway because you can't endure hardship! Lin Fan said with a smile.
After receiving Lin Fan's affirmative reply, the young man did not hesitate for a moment, and knelt on the ground with a puff. solemnly kowtowed three times. "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!"
Lin Fan helped him up and said, "Hurry up, I see that you are diligent, your talent is not bad, and teaching you some things is not buried, so I am willing to teach you." So you don't have to, I'm not your master. ”
The young man is a person who admits death, "Grandpa said that the grace of teaching should be treated with a teacher's courtesy!" Since you are willing to teach me, then you are my master, is there anything wrong with me doing this? ”
Lin Fan smiled dumbly, and could only say helplessly: "Whatever you want!"
Then Lin Fan pointed out some deficiencies in his moves just now, and taught him some basic gun and stick moves.
One was happy to see the hunt, and the other was eager to learn, and the two passed more than an hour in the teaching.
Practicing martial arts requires a combination of work and rest, if you just blindly rush forward, it will be half the effort, and if you are not careful, you will hurt your body, if this is the case, the gain will outweigh the loss.
So for the sake of Xiao Yuanzhi's body, Lin Fan had to interrupt this cultivation and let Yuanzhi go to rest, he himself drank a sip of water and came to the old man.
The old man snorted coldly, "Hmph, the adult is a good means, and the old man is ashamed of himself!" ”
Seeing that the old man was dissatisfied with himself, Lin Fan explained: "The younger generation is also helpless, so he made this decision!"
"But the younger generation really sincerely invites the seniors to go out of the mountain, and the younger generations really love the child Yuanzhi, and they have no intention of using it at all."
"It's a good saying, who knows if it's true or not!"
"The younger generation knows that the words of the younger generation are not enough to win the trust of the seniors, but whether the seniors believe it or not, the younger generations still have to say it. The reason why I am so obsessed with suppressing bandits is not entirely for merit, but also for the people in this vicinity to no longer suffer from thieves. Lin Fan explained again.
The old man was still dissatisfied with Lin Fan, but when he looked at his grandson on the side looking at him with begging eyes, he could only sigh: "Alas! If this is said from someone else's mouth, the old man will not believe a word! But although I am an old man, I also know that you are a good official, for the sake of the people nearby, I will trust you once today! ”
Then he said helplessly: "Besides, the matter has come to this, even Yuanzhi's kid has been bought by you, what else can I do?" This kid hasn't been so happy since his father's accident, and it seems that I can't do it if I don't agree! ”
Lin Fan was overjoyed, "Thank you seniors, juniors are grateful!" ”
When the shopkeeper saw that the matter was successfully resolved, he also laughed with him. The old man didn't bother to take care of them, so he went back to the house to pack his things.
According to Uncle Zhou's original intention, he just went by himself and let Zhou Yuanzhi stay and watch the house.
However, Lin Fan persuaded Zhou Bo to take him with him, firstly, to facilitate his care, and secondly, to take advantage of this opportunity to teach him more things.
Zhou Bo thought about it, so he agreed, so the group of four set off to rush back to the inspection department.
After arriving at the camp, Shopkeeper Zhang knew that the next things were not something he could participate in, so he said goodbye and left. Lin Fan didn't force him to stay, but just forcibly stuffed some silver taels to him.
After entering the camp, Lin Fan asked people to call An Ning, Chen Fangshu and others, and then took Zhou Bo into the conference hall.
After everyone came, Lin Fan spread out the map and said, "Senior, where did you say that hole is on the map?"
Uncle Zhou shook his head: "The old man can't understand this thing!" But that cave is right behind Shuanglong Ridge! ”
Chen Fangshu stared at the map and said, "But behind Shuanglong Ridge is a steep slope!" How could the entrance to the cave be there? ”
Zhou Bo said: "That's right, the entrance to the cave is there!" When I was younger, I used to collect medicine there, and I never went into that cave. It's just that at that time, it was not called Shuanglong Ridge, it was called Tongmu Peak. ”
Chen Fangshu said again: "But the terrain here is too dangerous, it can almost be said to be a cliff, how can I get in?"
The old man said: "I used to tie a rope around my body and slowly pull it down from the top of the mountain, I don't know if it's okay?"
Chen Fangshu shook his head, "This won't work, if we want to go up to the top of the mountain, we won't be able to hide the eyes of those bandits at all, and then the brothers will become the target of the bandits in mid-air." ”
Lin Fan said: "Since it is not possible to go down from the top, then let's change the direction and go from the bottom to the top!"
Chen Fangshu said: "Adults mean climbing?"
Seeing Lin Fan nodding, Chen Fangshu hesitated: "But the terrain here is too steep, and it will be dangerous for the brothers who participated, wouldn't it be too risky?" ”
Lin Fan pondered for a moment, "Let's go up from the back mountain, just to avoid those bandits in front." As for the danger, it is always unavoidable, we can choose some of the brothers who are athletic, and practice in advance to minimize the danger. And when the time comes, I will personally lead the team, and I don't think the brothers will have any complaints. ”
Lin Fan's words touched Chen Fangshu a little, he had only heard about it before, but it wasn't until today that he really understood Lin Fan intuitively, and he also understood why the original scattered inspection department was able to transform into what it is today.
It seems that those legends are true, and this lord always keeps the most dangerous things to himself, so it is no wonder that those people are desperate to follow him.
The Lord will not spare his life, and others are naturally willing to die for it, and it is not surprising that the Inspection Division can have today!
However, he still objected: "No, this is too dangerous!" Adults are the backbone of everyone, and if something happens to them, all of what we do is in vain. ”
Lin Fan smiled: "You don't have to worry, just with these bandits, how can it be so easy to want me to die?"
However, Chen Fangshu still didn't let go, and even An Ning and Wang Hu refuted one after another, disagreeing with Lin Fan's actions.
Lin Fan was about to speak, but Chen Fangshu said again: "I know that adults want to say that we should focus on the overall situation, but the overall situation is by no means for us to watch adults take risks."
"But adults, you need to try to believe in everyone, you can't do everything on yourself. You can't always live under your wings, adults always have to give everyone the opportunity to prove themselves, this is the real focus on the overall situation! ”
Chen Fangshu's words made Lin Fan fall into contemplation, it seems that he took it for granted too much before, always thinking that it was for everyone's good, but it made everyone lose the opportunity to grow.
He said solemnly: "Okay, I know, I will pay more attention in the future!"
Seeing that Lin Fan was no longer stubborn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Wang Hu, the big stone that had been hanging in his heart for half a year had only fallen to the ground today, and in the future, he finally didn't have to be afraid of Lin Fan's whimsical ideas that could appear at any time.
During this period of time, Wang Hu may have been more frightened than in the first half of his life combined.
This is mainly because Lin Fan is too risky, first Qingmuling was ambushed, and then Song Mao pushed the heart pavilion, and then went to the meeting alone, and went to Chenjiazhai alone to persuade him to surrender.
Each and every one of them is a matter of human life, and if you change to someone else, I am afraid that no number of lives will be enough to die.
Wang Hu has said him many times for this, but it is often Lin Fan who just promised himself before, and then left it behind in the blink of an eye, what should he do!
Fortunately, although Lin Fan loves to take risks, he still has a sense of proportion and certainty, otherwise Wang Hu would have to write a letter to tell the old lady all these things, and let them stop Lin Fan.
However, no one can calculate this kind of thing every time, and if something happens in the future, I will regret it, so this kind of thing can still be done without doing it.
Now it's okay, as long as Lin Fan can realize this, he and others can bear more for him, and he doesn't have to do everything himself, and he doesn't have to let him take such risks every time.
