Spring is a season of passion. It's not just a hundred flowers, it's just plants. Even the old elm trees in the courtyard are not willing to be lonely, and they bear clusters of elm money on the dense branches. The elm money that climbed all over the branches, like a crystal green jade, dressed the old tree as beautiful as a young woman with a remarkable demeanor.

Shoko, after practicing kung fu early in the morning, carried a basket and climbed the tree with agility like a monkey. I saw that he moved skillfully, and soon filled the basket. He jumped into the tree and ran towards the kitchen in high spirits.

Steamed elm money is a very common home-cooked meal in the northwest region. Sort out the stems and sundries, wash them with water, drain the water and mix well with dry flour. Then, put it in a cage to steam, let it cool, and shake it off for later use. When eating, fry the chopped green onion with clear oil, pour in the steamed elm and stir-fry, and then add a little salt. The finished product, yellow, white and green, soft and fragrant in the mouth, really don't change the meat.

Xiangzi knew that Juanzi was good, and when he practiced in the morning, when he saw Juanzi, he always looked up at the elm tree and was stunned, and he knew it in his heart. So, after practicing, he jumped up the tree. He wants Juanzi to relieve this craving as soon as possible.

Huang Xing, seeing Xiangzi wandering around in the courtyard, asked him to ask Juanzi to practice boxing together. Huang Xing knew that Xiangzi often let Juanzi. I can't bear to hurt her when I dismantle my fist, and I often only use fifty percent of my strength. Therefore, Huang Xing had to break up with them separately after a while. so that they can really adapt to the requirements of real combat.

Huang Xing knew that Juanzi was afraid of pain, and often said that her arm hurt like a wooden stick. He asked Juanzi to hook two sleeves with thick wool, so that the fist and palm would not hurt so much. Juanzi can also let go of her courage and make moves.

In Huang Xing's view, Juanzi's boxing is dexterous and changeable, sometimes unconventional; Shoko punched calmly, and the timing was in place. The application of moves is also freewheeling, and the offense and defense are free to deal with. If you really let it go, Juanzi is not Xiangzi's opponent.

With the two lovers, it became more and more difficult to dismantle the tricks. Huang Xing's heart was also filled with a sweet sense of achievement. Especially Xiangzi, in his opinion, Xiangzi's kung fu attainments will be above himself in the future. Moreover, his composure, wit and decisiveness are destined to do great things in the future. As for the outcome, it depends on his future chances. Anyway, Huang Xing unreservedly passed on everything he had learned in his life to Xiangzi. Even Ma Lao's ancestral hand-me-down, the method of making Jinchuang medicine, was left to him.

Just as Huang Xing was enthusiastic, he made a comment on the martial arts of the two beloved disciples. At the sound of the gate, Battalion Commander Xu walked in unhurriedly with a loose step in his military posture.

Seeing Huang Xing, he was instructing Juanzi in martial arts. With a smile on his face, which was so uncomfortable that even he was uncomfortable, he accosted: "Oops! It's really a famous teacher and a high apprentice. ”

Seeing Camp Commander Xu coming, Juanzi pouted, then turned around and walked to the side to play with the stone lock. Shoko also hid to the side in amusement and did the idle work of pressing her legs and bending over. Huang Xing lightly bowed his hand to the battalion commander Xu and said: "If a famous teacher is not a famous teacher, he will also teach them to play with three fists and two feet." ”

Battalion Commander Xu waved his hand at Huang Xing with a mysterious smile, and said, "No, no, Master Huang's feat of outwitting the bandits has become a good story in Dihua City. Now the big and small dreadlocks, as long as they see the banner of the mountain eagle dart, they are more afraid than they are to see the officers and soldiers. You can give the mountain eagle a dart and make a name for yourself. ”

Huang Xing rushed at him and smiled thinly. He said casually: "It's all spread by them, it's not so evil." ”

Camp Commander Xu seemed to suddenly remember something. With a look of excitement, he said, "Come with me to be a soldier!" Give you a company commander, it must be ten times stronger than you nest here. ”

Huang Xing smiled bitterly at him and said, "I don't want to be a soldier." ”

When Battalion Commander Xu heard this, he looked a little anxious, and asked puzzledly, "Why don't you become soldiers?" Being a soldier can not only protect your family and defend your country, but also make a lot of money. With your skills, I will be promoted by then, and the position of this battalion commander is not yours yet? ”

Huang Xing still said lightly: "I'm not interested in being a soldier." ”

Camp Commander Xu shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay! Yes! Let's not talk about being a soldier. If you were to teach my soldiers some grappling skills, you wouldn't refuse, would you? ”

Huang Xing laughed at the battalion commander Xu and said, "How can I be embarrassed in the barracks with my little rough work." You'd better not look like me. ”

Camp Commander Xu, with a sincere and serious face, said, "Master Huang, I really want to invite you. ”

As he spoke, he sighed in annoyance, and continued: "My guards are just a group of cowards, more than a dozen people, and they can't take a single thief, and they have injured two people. ”

Huang Xing asked Camp Commander Xu to sit on the stone bench under the tree. He pretended to be surprised and said: "It seems that that thief is a master, and I don't know where it came from?" ”

Camp Commander Xu had a depressed face, and said angrily: "What a master! Isn't he just a ruffian on the street? When the gun is on the head, the pants are wet. ”

Huang Xing asked curiously, "Caught?" ”

Battalion Commander Xu said listlessly: "Beat me half to death, let it go." ”

At this time, I only heard the door of the shopkeeper Yao "squeak" open. Peaches wore red hanging greenery, carried a tea tray, and walked lightly from inside. The person was still far away, and the bewitching voice came from behind him: "Hey, it's Camp Commander Xu who is here, and he doesn't go into the house to drink tea." ”

Camp Commander Xu, I heard that drip of water. It's like a baby, and I'm overwhelmed with excitement when I see my mother's*. A thin face, constantly adjusting the false expression. Only the small eyes hiding behind the glasses are always spraying, greedy and lustful green light.

Seeing this, Juanzi shrewdly floated over and stood in front of Peach. Stretched out his hand to take the tea tray, smiled at Peaches and said with a knife in his face, "I'll come!" It's windy outside, so let's go back to the house, don't get cold. ”

Juanzi said in her mouth, but her body was always blocked in front of Peaches and did not move. Xiangzi was sharp-eyed, rushed over happily, grabbed the tea tray and put it on the stone table, and poured tea for Camp Chief Xu and Master. Huang Xing took the opportunity to warmly greet Camp Commander Xu and drink tea.

Peach helplessly, Chong Juanzi glanced at her lightly. Twisting his thin waist, he reluctantly returned to the house. Camp Commander Xu, like a male goose in heat, stretched his neck and looked at his back with anxiety as his throat kept squirming. A commotion, oppressed the arm, and shook spasmodically. The tea in the cup jumped out of the teacup happily and splashed it on the clear stone table.

Seeing this, Huang Xing hurriedly raised the teacup and said, "Camp Chief Xu, please drink tea." ”

Hearing Huang Xing's words, Camp Commander Xu was just awakened from a dream. With stunned eyes and a somewhat embarrassed expression, he smiled at Huang Xing and said, "Drink tea, drink tea." ”

Camp Commander Xu took a sip of tea as if swallowing medicine. He looked at Huang Xing with ill-intentioned eyes and said, "Master Huang shoots so well, where did he practice?" ”

Huang Xing choked on the tea in his mouth and said lightly: "When I was a child, I hunted and practiced with my father. ”

Battalion Commander Xu glanced at Huang Xing with a suspicious gaze. With a little yin and yang in his mouth, he said: "Do you also use a pistol for hunting?" ”

Huang Xing picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He sighed and said, "I used to be a nurse for the rich man in my hometown. A whole box of bullets, I can shoot it. The barrels of the guns are generous two, and it takes this ability to practice. Later, the rich man's family was harmed by a group of Japanese, and I escaped. ”

Camp Commander Xu listened, and stared at Huang Xing with strange eyes. He said in a thin voice: "You killed the Japanese, and you couldn't stay in your hometown, so you came here to avoid trouble, right?" ”

When Huang Xing saw him say this, he let himself be so cramped that he didn't know how to respond. After all, it was the old detective, and he immediately used a series of laughter, which even he didn't know for the reason, to hide the momentary uneasiness. Then, he waved his hand casually and said, "How dare I kill the Japanese." ”

Battalion Commander Xu raised his voice and said as if he was a little excited: "Okay! Don't pretend anymore, just follow me. The Nationalist Government has officially started a war with the Japanese. ”

Huang Xing's eyes widened in astonishment, and he asked, "War?" When did it happen? ”

Battalion Commander Xu said slowly: "It was last month, and it has been notified to the whole country, haven't you heard of it?" ”

Huang Xing, unable to hide the joy in his heart, shook his head at the battalion commander Xu, looked relieved, and said, "I can finally have a good fight with the dog." ”

Camp Commander Xu put on a look of worrying about the country and the people, and said, "Yes! After enduring it for many years, the Japanese have to make inches. If the heart of China does not die, it's time to show something powerful. ”

Camp Commander Xu said, and then said, "What's the matter? Follow me, won't you? ”

Huang Xing deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked, "Are you going to fight the Japanese?" ”

Battalion Commander Xu looked disdainful, smiled coldly at Huang Xing, and said: "What are you fighting the Japanese, don't talk about this place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the Japanese will not be able to come for a while." Even Kannai put aside the affairs of the Japanese and was busy fighting the Communist Party. ”

Huang Xing glanced at Battalion Commander Xu suspiciously, and muttered contemplatively: "I heard that the Japanese are very bad, and they do something that is not as good as a beast." Why don't you let the Japanese fight, but fight with your own family? ”

Camp Commander Xu took a sip of tea, put on an expert look, and said: "You don't understand this, now, the national government has always regarded the Communist Party as a big trouble. Since the early years of the Republic of China, the CCP has been suppressed, and who knows that the more they suppress, the more they will be. Now, it has become a climate in the interior. I heard that the Red Army under the leadership of the Communist Party had developed into the Shaanxi and Gansu regions. ”

Huang Xing asked with interest: "I heard that the national army has millions of horses, why can't you get a Red Army?" ”

Battalion Commander Xu sighed lightly, looked worried about the country and the people, and said: "Don't you know, the Communist Party is specially designed to support the poor and mud-legged. Everywhere he went, he had to fight the local tyrants and divide the fields. The poor stick got the benefits, and when he was full, he died and ran with *.

This comes and goes,* like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. The poor everywhere responded and defected to the Red Army in spite of everything. Even if the national army has a million troops, it is difficult to endure the bites of wasps. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek has always held the attitude that if you are outside the country, you must first settle the inside. Without extermination*, there will be no peace in the kingdom. ”

Huang Xing pretended to be puzzled and said: "So many people are willing to follow the Communist Party, and they will definitely be able to benefit the poor and let the poor live a good life." ”

Battalion Commander Xu glanced at Huang Xing, snorted coldly, and said, "What's the benefit, first, there is no military salary, and second, there is not enough military food and equipment." Just by propagating something, overthrow an old world in which the poor are exploited and oppressed, and build a new world in which everyone is equal and the people are the masters of their own affairs. The poor people believed it and abandoned their homes to follow the revolution with *. Dream of the future, can really be the master again. I really admire the flickering energy of *. ”

As he spoke, Camp Chief Xu hatefully spit out a piece of tea in his mouth. Said coldly, "Have you thought about it?" To do it or not to do it? ”

Huang Xing, pretending to be cowardly, said resignedly: "I am just a farmer who farms, and I don't have anything else to think about, I just want to have a peaceful birthday." Thank you, Battalion Commander Xu, for your love, I don't want to be a soldier. ”

Battalion Commander Xu, sighed lightly. The sly gaze swept over Huang Xing's face. His face softened and he said, "Okay! Everyone has their own ambitions, when you figure it out, come to me at any time. So saying, he got up and walked towards the courtyard gate.

After sending Camp Commander Xu away, Huang Xing's heart suddenly stirred. A joyful ease, but mixed with a trace of sadness, like a magical shadow, lingered in his mind, lingering. He wanted someone to drink, and he wanted to get drunk......

Huang Xing woke up, and it was almost noon. He tried to move, then shook his head. Strangely, not only did it not have the feeling of being sore, sleepy and dizzy after being drunk in the past. On the contrary, I feel that my mind is unusually clear, and my body is full of youthful vitality.

He rolled over and sat down on the edge of the kang. Dreamily smiled and shook his head slightly. I grabbed the warm water cup on the table and drank it "Goodong, Goodong". He knew that it was prepared for him by Shoko. This kid is always so caring for people.

Huang Xing quickly got dressed, and felt an inexplicable force that was about to move in his veins. This feeling was once felt on the way to join the army with Zhang Zhiqiang.

He knew in his heart that since the death of Yingzi's mother and daughter, he had been living like a walking corpse. My heart was cloudy and gloomy. I don't know why I'm alive.

At this moment, suddenly from the heart, a strong force rose up, and it seemed to suddenly dissipate the haze in my heart. In front of me, it suddenly became bright. A sense of responsibility and mission that a man should have is quietly climbing on his shoulders.

Somehow, a feeling of extreme self-reproach and remorse came over him like a tidal wave. In a bright picture, he clearly reflects the shadow of his years of muddy and wasted years.

With an irritated look, he stomped heavily on the ground. Remorseful, teeth clenching. In her mouth, she muttered like a complaining woman: "You said that at the beginning, why didn't you expect to continue to find Brother Zhiqiang's path?" ”
