Chapter Twenty-Seven: Eating Behind Closed Doors
"This is the outskirts that the shopkeeper said?"
Zhao Gou's eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of him, surrounded by mountains, lush trees in the sky were neatly arranged, like a heroic soldier. In addition to the mountains, there are hills, and there are no people around, and it is a barren place at all, only the trickling stream can be heard not far away, as if you are back to nature.
"Where is this suburb, it seems that the shopkeeper doesn't know the real situation, it's a barren land with no one at all. Such a place is really his residence? Since he lives in seclusion here, he must not want to make a public announcement, so such a place is really normal. ”
Zhao Gou straddled the horse, frowned, glanced around, and finally saw a thatched house, and thought: "This is the same house, which should be Zhou Dong's residence." ”
So, Zhao Gou galloped away non-stop. A moment later, he came to the door, knocked on it, but no one answered, and murmured, "Is there no one in the house?" Zhao Gou looked at the courtyard wall, it was not very high, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, jumped up, climbed on the courtyard wall, looked around, and said in a low voice: "There is really no one, where did you go?" ”
Zhao Gou came down from the courtyard wall, patted the dust on his hands, and put the horse here, let it graze, and wandered around alone. When he reached the edge of the stream, he saw several figures above the river in the distance, and some were shirtless. It was still a little cold, not to mention shirtless, and driven by curiosity, he walked up the river to see who it was.
"Wang Gui, your knife technique is wrong! Look, it should be like this......"
"Tang Huai, your marksmanship is wrong, have you forgotten the key to the spear? ……”
"Zhang Xian, why are you wrong in this move, the main thing is to assassinate, one shot will have the potential to sweep thousands of troops......"
"Pengju, your spear is different from the use of marksmanship, you can't use a spear as a marksmanship, the spear has the benefits of a spear, the spear has the benefits of a spear, the shaft of the spear is relatively hard, and a little rough, it takes more strength to wield, the spear can be bent, as long as the strength is not large, it can not be easily broken, if the spear is swung out, if you want to bend, it can only be a knife and two endings, you have to remember."
Zhao Gou got closer, and looked at the group of five people intently, only to see that the other four people were older than him, and they also looked like teenagers, with silver hair, a withered face, clearly visible wrinkles, and meticulously pointed out the shortcomings of everyone. At the same time, Zhao Gou heard the old man's shout, and his eyes kept looking at the young man holding the spear.
I saw that the young man was holding a spear in his hand, with a dignified appearance, a pair of tiger eyes, a blazing spirit, a burly body, and a steady pace waving the spear in his hand, like a general on the battlefield. Zhao Gou couldn't help but look at the young man and muttered, "This person is the general who will fight against gold in the future-Yue Fei?" ”
Zhao Gou stared at the four of them in a daze, stunned, and saw them in some cool weather, **** their upper bodies, sweating like rain, without any chill, even a burst of smoke came out of their heads. Although I have exercised my body before, I have never been as hard as them.
From Zhou Tong's name for Yue Fei, it is known that Yue Fei has been carefully cultivated by him. However, Zhao Gou never thought that Yue Fei and the other three had become Zhou Dong's disciples. When he was stunned, Zhao Gou's heart was relieved, and he made a sound that reached the ears of Zhou Tong and the others, and the four of them turned around with some curiosity, and a trace of anger appeared on their faces.
Zhou Tong and the others turned around and saw a six-year-old child, looking at themselves and the others in a daze, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. Zhou Tong glanced at Zhao Gou and felt that he was a little familiar, but he never remembered where he had seen him. Even if Zhao Gou was wearing plain clothes, he still couldn't hide the aura on his body, and he couldn't help but make Zhou Tong frown, and whispered to himself: "Although it is a child, it is impossible to appear quietly by my side, and I haven't found it yet, it seems that this doll also has some martial arts." ”
Zhou Tong glanced at Wang Gui, Wang Gui nodded understandingly, walked in front of Zhao Gou, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, why did you come here alone?" The master shouted to you to come over, and you came with me! ”
Zhao Gou nodded slightly, and followed behind Wang Gui silently, his eyes stayed on Yue Fei and Zhou Tong, seeing that both of them were a little inexplicable, especially when Yue Fei saw Zhao Go's hot eyes, he scratched his head even more, and was very surprised: "Does he know me?" ”
Zhou Dongfeng looked at Zhao Gou lightly, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Little doll, who are you and why are you here?" ”
Zhao Gou replied respectfully: "Back to the old man, the kid is from Tokyo, I have come to visit the old man, I want to worship you as a teacher, and please accept me as an apprentice!" ”
Zhou Tong saw that Zhao Gou was dignified and talked extraordinary, and he was by no means an ordinary person, so he mercilessly refused: "Now, the old decay is about to die, and he has long broken off the idea of continuing to accept apprentices. Although you have this sincerity, it's a pity that the old man doesn't have more energy to teach you martial arts, and he still goes back and forth. ”
Seeing that he flatly refused, Zhao Gou's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "The kid came all the way to Tangyin County, just to hear that Mr. is your name, and I have to meet the guidance of a master, so I came here to find you, just to worship you as a teacher." If you don't accept me as an apprentice, what will the kid have to return to Bianjing, and how will he explain to his family. ”
Zhou Tong had a cold face and said: "If you are not an old man, you are not willing to teach you martial arts, but it is really an old man's heart that is like water, and the four of them are enough." As for the sincerity that you came to worship me as a teacher, the old man sees it in his eyes, but the old man has no master-apprentice relationship with you, so I advise you to go back. ”
Zhao Gou said categorically: "If the old gentleman doesn't accept the kid as an apprentice, I will always follow this place, and I will definitely not leave easily." ”
"If you want to wait, then keep waiting!" Zhou Tong brushed his sleeves and left, and directly ordered Yue Fei and the others to go back together, and no longer paid attention to Zhao Gou.
Zhao Gou did not follow the way of the rivers and lakes, peeping at other schools of martial arts, especially when passing on the arts, being peeked at was a taboo for people who practiced martial arts, so Zhou Tong did not leave any good image at the first sight of Zhao Gou. Moreover, Zhao Gou said that he was from Tokyo, and that it was where he rose and fell. It is also a place that Zhou Tong has been reluctant to mention.
He didn't know what Zhou Tong was thinking in his heart, and he couldn't care about what he thought in his heart, and expressed his determination to learn art from a teacher. It's a pity that Zhou Tong didn't give him too many opportunities, and walked away directly, Yue Fei and the others hurriedly followed behind Zhou Dong and turned to leave.
As a generation of grandmasters, Zhou Tong has never dared to threaten him, and Zhao Gou is the first, which makes him a little unhappy in his heart. Moreover, Zhao Gou came here from Tokyo at the age of six, and went on the road alone, even Zhou Tong felt that it was too fake. No matter what kind of child it is, parents can't let a six-year-old child go far away, something that he can't think of as it can happen.
Therefore, Zhou Tong felt that Zhao Gou lied again, and also found that Zhao Gou had a martial arts. Even if Zhao Gou hid it well, it still didn't escape his eyes. Zhao Gou's steps were light, his body was as light as a swallow, and he followed behind Wang Gui, and he could see other people, which showed that Zhao Gou came to apprentice with martial arts, which made him even more difficult to accept.
"If you want to leave me, how can you give up this idea easily, I came here to change the fate of the Great Song Dynasty. Since Yue Fei and others are practicing martial arts here, then I should stay here, as long as I get acquainted with Yue Fei and others, how can I make the historical tragedy repeat, everything must start anew, if so, why do I come here? ”
Zhao Gou followed closely behind, following behind Zhou Tong. No matter where Zhou Tong goes, Zhao Gou follows, as if he has become a follower. Zhou Tong saw that Zhao Gou was unwilling to give up, so he directly closed the door and closed the door, and even Yue Fei and others were ordered by him not to go out.
"Master, why didn't you take him as an apprentice?" Wang Gui wondered.
Zhou Tong glanced at it and said, "What?" He bought you so quickly? ”
Wang Gui hurriedly shook his head and said, "Master, without your old man's permission, how dare I get too close to him." Three days had passed, and even though it had rained, he had not been seen to leave, and the little brother had been living in a firewood house at the back, with the horses, without the slightest complaint, and every day he got up at the same time as us for morning exercises. ”
Zhang Xian continued: "Master, what Wang Gui said is also true, that little brother has some ability in the eyes of a disciple, why don't you accept him as a disciple?" ”
Yue Fei pondered for a moment and said, "Master, are you worried that there will be trouble teaching him martial arts?" ”
"Not bad!" Zhou Tong nodded appreciatively and said, "That little doll looks much younger than you, from Tokyo to Tangyin County, a few of them are thousands of miles, how can he do it alone." And, these **** always feel that someone is peeping in the dark, and they have captured their figures several times, but they still find nothing. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, that kid is not ordinary. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble. If it was more than ten years ago, I would not be afraid to be a teacher. It's just that I'm old and don't want to live that bloody life anymore. Besides, I don't know the purpose of that kid's martial arts, if he is brave and ruthless, or if he is an enemy, then I will be the one who harms the party. ”
"I don't kill Beren, Beren dies because of me! When I saw him for the first time, I knew that he had practiced martial arts, but his foundation was unstable, and he wanted to consolidate the basic skills of martial arts. Look at the cocoon on his little hand, that kid's weapon will also, and the same weapon as Pengju, the use of a spear can cause the cocoon in his hand to be different, I don't know who gave it. ”
Tang Huai was puzzled: "Master, if that's the case, why don't we drive him away?" ”
"Don't act rashly for the time being, and talk about it in a while!" Zhou Tong said in a deep voice, he remembered that Zhao Gou had the ability to be self-sufficient at such a young age, and couldn't help laughing, thinking: "This kid really has perseverance, based on his observation in the past three days, I believe that he came here with his own strength, and then we have to see what they mean, or find a way to find out their intentions, and then make a decision." ”
