Chapter 4 Catching Medicine
The eldest grandson Jin looked at the morning light that slightly revealed a trace of fish belly white on the horizon, estimated it in his heart, and said to the eldest grandson: "It's already past the end of the day, you can sleep for a while, and after an hour, we will be on the road." ”
Changsun Hong nodded, to be honest, his head is still drowsy, his limbs are weak, if he follows the way he was in a hurry a few days ago, even if this body is lying on a stretcher, the shaking of climbing up and down the hill is very uncomfortable, and he must nourish his spirit.
But just as he was about to lie down, he remembered a question, so he asked, "Second uncle, where are we going to change salt?" ”
The eldest grandson Jin took the Pu knife leaning on the side, and carefully wiped the blade with his sleeve, the expression and action were more careful than stroking the woman's belly, listening to Erlang's question, he was a little strange: "Didn't your father tell you?" Our area is hundreds of miles away, and only Fushun Prison produces salt, so we are going to Fushun Prison. ”
Changsun Hong let out an "oh", and remembered in his mind, Baozheng's father did say it, but there were too many memories pouring into his mind, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
Fu lay down again, facing Changsun Jin, watching him meticulously polish the blade, and sharpen it a rough stone for a while, a short-handled simple knife used by ordinary people to chop wood and cut meat, was polished by him into a sharp weapon, if it is connected to the long handle, it is a powerful weapon of war.
For history, Li Hong has a lot of understanding, he knows that the Song Dynasty banned hundreds of civil soldiers, only the Pu knife is difficult to forbid, because the Pu knife is too widely used, the people's lives are simply inseparable, the court can not ban it, simply let it go, not allowed to install a long handle, only a short handle.
However, this kind of ban is better than nothing, the Pu knife is only a matter of a moment to replace a short handle with a long handle, and a random rod can be installed with a knife blade by screwing the threaded mouth, so the Pu knife is a thing, inside and outside the Song Dynasty, up and down the rivers and lakes, it is a first-class popular thing, almost every household has such a hand, one to civilian, two to prevent theft.
After polishing the knife, Changsun Jin stood up and walked to a clearing, Changsun Hong had already closed his eyes and was napping, but when he heard the sound and saw him walking away, his curiosity rose, and he opened his eyes wide again.
I saw that the eldest grandson Jin tightened the cloth belt around Mai's waist, stood up, held the knife with one hand, the long blade hung down on the ground, and his feet were not in front of him, and then he took a deep breath and stood solemnly.
The wind of the summer night blew gently in the mountains, and at the moment when the sky was about to dawn, it blew off a leaf among the treetops.
The leaves fell with the wind, fluttering, flying leisurely in front of Changsun Jin, and when the leaves fell in front of Changsun Jin's eyes, a knife light suddenly rose.
As if the darkness had broken through the darkness, Changsun Hong only felt that a ball of light suddenly flashed in front of him, and the light was like a moon composed of countless sharp edges, dancing in the glade, at that moment, he really saw what it means to be a human knife as one, and what is called a knife like a human arm.
The eldest Sun Jin, who danced the knife, moved as fast as lightning, and the figure in the knife light was as fast as an afterimage, and a knife was slashed, and before others could see the shape of the knife, the blade had already turned and slashed in another direction.
The whole person is like a beating hilt, dancing in all directions with the direction of the knife, and in the blink of an eye, it seems that a person has turned into countless people, and every shadow is dancing the knife, and the blade brings up a strong wind, rolling on the soil on the ground, blowing the fallen leaves in a place, flying all over the sky.
Changsun Hong had forgotten about sleep, his eyes widened, and he tried his best to catch his brother's movements, but to no avail, his eyes seemed to only see a shadow, radiating a sharp cold light in the light of the bonfire.
In a short quarter of an hour, Changsun Jin's movements stopped, he closed his eyes and slowly relaxed, his face and neck were covered with sweat, and the clothes on his chest, back and back were also soaked with sweat, wet and sticking to his body.
"Good knife technique!" Changsun Hong has never seen this kind of martial arts, and what he has seen with his own eyes is even more shocking than what he saw in the movie in his previous life, those Tai Chi masters and free fighters who deceived the world and stole their fame were not even worthy of lifting shoes in front of Changsun Jin.
Because he was engaged, he had sat up unconsciously, and the dog walked to his side and whispered enviously: "Hongjiro, your second uncle's kung fu is so handsome!" If I can learn a trick and a half, I can enter the forbidden army as an officer. ”
Changsun Hong still lingered in the surprise brought by the knife technique and couldn't extricate himself, staring at the mouth in a daze, ignoring the dog's words in one ear and one ear out.
The dog looked at Changsun Jin, who was absorbing his breath, and because he couldn't get a response, he reached out and stabbed Changsun Hong, and said, "How did I do with the things I asked you to help with?" ”
Changsun Hong was stabbed by him, and said blankly: "What's the matter?" ”
The dog said angrily: "Of course, I asked you to tell your second uncle about teaching us kung fu, I told you before I went out, did you forget?" ”
Eldest Sun Hong blinked his eyes, and then remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.
At the beginning of his memory, his home was not in Shuzhong, but far away in the Tianshui Army of Qinfeng Road to the north of Xingyuan Mansion, his father Changsun Hao and his second uncle Changsun Jin were both border soldiers, and the family was also a local military household for generations.
I don't know what the reason is, two years ago, the eldest grandson brother took his wife and children, escaped from the Tianshui Army, went to Shuzhong, came to Tongchuan Road near Hezhou and settled, and made a living by farming, because the two brothers were born in martial arts, have a good fist and feet, and the guns and sticks are also playful, plus the personality is bold, fair, and by chance, the elder brother Changsun Hao became the village's Baozheng.
The dog is fourteen years old, it is the age of itching and unbearable, unlimited energy, yearning for such a strong martial arts character, one day after seeing the sword technique of Changsun Jin, he became obsessed like a demon, crying and shouting to learn the knife with Changsun Jin, but Changsun Jin was noncommittal, has been unwilling to agree, what to say about the sword and soldiers, good people learn will only increase the trouble, it is better not to learn.
Where is the dog willing to give up, he wants to twist but doesn't dare, Changsun Jin can scare this kid into a fart with a glare, so he didn't dare to go to Changsun Jin, and went around to find Changsun Hong, thinking that if you don't teach me, your nephew can't refuse if you want you to teach you, right? When the time comes, I'll study with a dead face.
But the eldest grandson Hong's health has not been good, and the physical problems caused by the lack of nutrition all the year round in his youth are far from being made up for by manual labor alone, so although he has his father and second uncle, two soldiers with outstanding martial arts, he has not learned martial arts, on the contrary, the family has exhausted everything and sent him to the only private room in the village to study.
For this long trip, if it weren't for the fact that Changsun Hao considered that after his son grew up, if he didn't even have a single experience, he would inevitably end up with a cowardly and unwide vision, otherwise he wouldn't have let him come out.
"I haven't forgotten, but I'm not cured of my illness, and if I bring it up at this time, my second uncle won't agree, so I'll have to wait a while." Eldest Sun Hong thought for a while and said.
The dog pondered for a while, it seems that this is the truth, his name is Li Gui, but he is not noble at all, on the contrary, he is from a poor background, and he has always wanted to be a soldier and make meritorious contributions and earn a fortune. But at this time, there was nothing to do, so I had to repeatedly tell Changsun Hong to keep it in mind.
Changsun Hong absent-mindedly perfunctory two sentences, but in his heart, cold weapons are popular in this era, firearms are still budding, learn some martial arts, self-defense and self-defense are promising, maybe the dog's idea is not bad.
While thinking about it, he saw that the eldest grandson Jin had finished spitting out, put away the Pu knife, and looked at the mountain beam in the morning light, where a shadow was walking over.
"Big brother, I'm back." The eldest grandson went up to greet him, and said with a smile to the eldest grandson Hao, who had disappeared for a night: "Great news, Erlang has woken up, and the fever has subsided." ”
The dew on the eldest grandson's body, the strands of hair were wet and stuck to his head, and the linen clothes on his body were all wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or morning dew, but he was carefully carrying an oily paper bag in his arms and covering it with his hands to prevent it from getting wet.
"Really? That's great! Hearing his younger brother's words, Changsun Hao's tired face suddenly unfolded, and a heartfelt smile appeared, and he handed the paper bag to the dog and instructed him to decoct the medicine, while striding towards Changsun Hong.
Changsun Jin smiled and accompanied him, Changsun Hong hurriedly struggled to stand up, but was grabbed by the father who came over a few steps and lay down again.
"If you have a little strength, you have to toss?" Although my father's words were serious, his eyes were full of warmth: "Don't lie down quickly, the doctor said, typhoid fever is the most taboo for tiredness, you have to recuperate, today you have to sit on a stretcher for a day, drink some medicine, and you will get better." ”
"Yes, Dad." Changsun Hong felt that there was an iron tong clamping his arm, and he had to lie down with a strong force, and he couldn't help but have a new understanding of his father's strength.
"Brother, how did you find the doctor?" Eldest Sun Jin blinked and asked, "Is this medicine expensive?" Do you have any money? ”
Changsun Hao looked at him, turned his mouth to an angle, and said in a low voice: "The black light is blind, where to find the doctor?" I went directly into a pharmacy in Changzhou City, found a knife, and forced the pharmacy owner to catch the medicine. ”
Although the voice was small, Changsun Hong could still hear it, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: What kind of fetus is this? Who did you cross over?
