Chapter Thirty-Eight: Practicing the Law (Fourth Update, Seeking Collection)
The thief who has passed the hand in this line of stealing, in fact, is the meaning of the competition, generally speaking, it is divided into cultural fighting and martial arts.
The so-called martial arts, naturally, is that two gangs of thieves steal in order to grab the same piece of land, each showing off their skills, going to the street to fight each other's skills, but generally speaking, unless the two groups of people have too much hatred, otherwise it is purely a handicraft, even if there is a fight, it will not be to pick the tendons.
If it is in the case of two separate thieves, it is simple, that is, to play faster with the blade, and who can play faster, and who has the better technique.
If it is a Wendou, then it will be the turn of the surrounding passers-by or households to suffer, two groups of thieves or two thieves to steal, go out to steal things separately, and the person who steals something more valuable within the time limit wins.
So as soon as he heard Ju Wuyi's words, Ye Qian asked directly: "I don't know if Old Man Ju wants to fight in literature or martial arts?" ”
Ju Wuyi sighed and said: "People are old and don't have so much energy to run around, so today's battle, let's fight for the ......."
Before the words fell, Ju Wuyi's right hand poked out like lightning, rushing towards Ye Gan's neck, and when others saw Ju Wuyi's move, that arm had already appeared on the side of Ye Gan's neck.
But Ju Wuyi is fast, Ye Qian is faster, at the same time that Ju Wuyi's arm fell on his erect neck, Ye Gan's hand was already on Ju Wuyi's arm, but before it was solid, Ju Wuyi's body suddenly flashed to the side, and his left hand was already on Ye Gan's neck at some point.
At this time, Ye Qian stood there as if he was scared stupid, motionless.
"Good!"
Seeing that his ancestor had won, the bald man who was worried about his unstable status applauded loudly, but this applause ushered in a cold eye from the green-skinned sixth.
Ju Wuyi's face was pale, and he suddenly sighed and said: "That's it, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the future is terrifying, and the old man loses." ”
It turned out that Ju Wuyi's arm on Ye Gan's neck was already empty on the fingers that should be holding the blades, and Ye Gan's fingertips were holding two blades.
Just now, Ye Qian actually took out the two blades on Ju Wuyi's arms into his hands.
Ju Wuyi sat back in his seat and said to the green-skinned sixth: "Sixth, you go and call your senior brothers to get back what Brother Ye wanted." ”
The green-skinned old six took the order and left, Ju Wuyi stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "Please sit down and wait for a while." ”
Ye Qian and Wang Xiaoxian sat down as they said, the bald man made tea and poured it for the two of them, and Ju Wuyi said: "Ye Xiaoxiao, you seem to have seen something when you entered the door, so you felt bad for the old man, I don't know what's going on?" ”
At this time, the radish head had been taken out by the bald man, and Ye Qian said: "It's the child before, who looks like he is sixteen or seventeen years old, and it is really unacceptable that Old Man Ju actually led him into the door." ”
Ju Wuyi nodded and said, "What, do you have an opinion on the old man's approach?" This kid broke the rules, and I've kicked him out of the wall. ”
Ye Qian shook his head and said: "Old man Ju, I didn't mean that, it's not the old society anymore, a man has to start a family at the age of fourteen, and now a fifteen or sixteen-year-old person is just a child, you are pulling him into the door now, you are destroying him, even if you expel him out of the door, it is already too late." ”
"Oh!? What do you think about Mr. Yip? ”
From Ye Xiaoxiao to Mr. Ye, Ju Wuyi has recognized that Ye Qian has the qualifications to talk to him on an equal footing.
Ye Qian said: "I don't dare to see what to teach, but I have a little shallow opinion, the theft of the door has continued from ancient times to the present, and naturally there is a reason for its existence, but the times are different, now it is a society under the rule of law, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child, the concept of right and wrong is not clear at all, and the theft of the door itself is a shortcut to get something for nothing." ”
"I know, in the past, people in the door didn't want to go out of the mountain without practicing their skills for ten or eight years, but now you see, that kid's skills can't be talked about at all, the blade is in his pants, look at his work, where is stealing, it is clearly robbing!"
After listening to Ye Gan's words, Ju Wuyi sighed deeply: "Yes, now it's different from before, when I was eight years old, I wandered on the street, was accepted into the door wall by my master, and it took ten years of practice before I came out of the mountain. ”
"Not now, the rivers and lakes have degenerated, and newcomers don't have the heart to work hard to learn things."
Wang Xiaoxian basically didn't speak since she entered the door, not because she was quiet and a quiet lady, mainly because she was smart enough and knowledgeable, and knew when to speak and when it was best to be silent, but now that the matter has been resolved, Wang Xiaoxian couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart and asked: "Eh, old man Ju, in your time, did you need to practice stealing?" ”
Wang Xiaoxian is cute, and his words are soft and good-sounding, so although the words are not very appropriate, Ju Wuyi is not angry, but explains:
"Of course, in the past, stealing was not as good as it is now, although there were not as strict laws as there are now, and there were very few police, but there was a lot of power on the streets back then."
"For example, if we burglars are caught on the street, we will be beaten half to death at the least, and there will be broken hands and feet at the worst, so we must go through systematic and professional training."
As soon as people get old, they actually like to talk to people, especially juniors, Ju Wuyi can't escape this theorem, so he continued with great interest:
"Not only playing with the blade is a science, this must be practiced, but this thing accounts for less than one-tenth of all learning, in addition to playing with the blade, we also have to practice light skills, practice reaction, practice perception, at that time there were many tricks."
As he spoke, Ju Wuyi picked up a cloth teacoaster from the table, put it on the teacup with his backhand, and said: "You see, in the past, in order to practice the feel, mulberry paper was used to cover things, let us touch it with our hands, and we can't touch it for too long, we just have to touch it and leave." ”
"Because when we dig into the bag, we have to know what's inside, and if we put our hands on it for a long time, it's easy to be found. My teacher had the best feel at the time, not to mention that it was separated by a layer of mulberry paper, even if you wrapped a handful of beans in a wrapper, he could tell you how many beans were in it with a touch of his hand, and this is all craftsmanship. ”
Wang Xiaoxian was fascinated by what he heard, and couldn't help asking, "Then Grandpa Ju, what's the matter with light work?" Is it like on TV? ”
Ju Wuyi waved his hand and laughed: "How is that possible!" People are always people, where it is possible to jump up a foot or two, the so-called light work, in fact, is to exercise the body, make your body more agile, and then after special training, people can climb the wall more. ”
"In the past, the courtyards of the wealthy families were very high, and there were more than one zhang and two small zhang at every turn, according to the current words, it was at least four or five meters high, at that time we practiced with their own hands and feet, and turned over to the wall in one breath, and the walls covered with paint outside were slippery and did not leave hands, but even so we can climb up, which is called light work."
Speaking of this, Ju Wuyi pointed at Ye Qian and said: "Girl, you can ask him, his craft is not something that can be taught and practiced by idlers, just ask him how he practiced it." ”
Seeing Ju Wuyi shift the topic to himself, Ye Qian couldn't help but touch his nose, and then looked at Wang Xiaoxian's expectant eyes, couldn't help sighing, and said:
"The one who taught me the skills specially told me, don't mention his name on the Jianghu Road, I don't want to say much here, just talk about how he practiced at that time."
Ye Qian knew what Ju Wuyi thought.
Ju Wuyi, the old-timer in the thief door, wants to hear from him whose craft he inherited, the world is a thief, although the craftsmanship is the same, but the training methods are different, Ju Wuyi can judge who Ye Qian's disciple is through the training method.
However, although he knew Ju Wuyi's purpose, Ye Qian didn't plan to hide it, after all, his own instructor had a deep background, even if Ju Wuyi knew, he couldn't do anything, so he said: "At that time, my method of practicing was actually quite simple......
As he spoke, Ye Qian flipped his hand, and a blade appeared on his fingertips: "At the beginning, if you don't practice how to touch things, you just play with the blade, and you play with the blade in your hand all day long, and you can't hide it so that people can see where it is, but you have to have it at any time when you want to use it, and the most important thing is this." ”
"I remember that for the first week, my two hands were not intact, and there were cuts everywhere with the blade, but after a long time and I became proficient, the blade was no different from a part of my body. After all, the mouth is no better than anywhere else, and it will be difficult to cut the artery under the tongue. ”
In Wang Xiaoxian's adoring gaze, the blade on Ye Gan's hand appeared and disappeared, disappeared and reappeared, moving back and forth between his fingers, and then Wang Xiaoxian directly pulled his hand over, Ye Qian was still able to make the blade appear wherever he wanted, without any chaos.
"When you are familiar with the blade, you have to start practicing scratching, and at first I found a raw cowhide."
Ye Qian said while gesturing: "Everyone knows that raw cowhide is much harder than cooked cowhide, at the beginning, it was for me to practice when I can cut a three-inch-long hole in the raw cowhide, this process has to have three or five days, and then it is to draw three cuts on the raw cowhide, and when you are proficient, put the raw cowhide on the paper, so that the latter knife can only cut the raw cowhide and not touch the paper." ”
Wang Xiaoxian's face was full of disbelief: "Huh? Is this possible? The raw cowhide is so thick and hard, if you go down with a knife, you must pierce it, how can you not hurt the paper below? ”
Ye Qian smiled slightly: "That's why you need to practice constantly, this craft is to cut people's clothes or purses...... Do you think, in the summer, everyone wears so little, if you don't master the strength well, and the clothes open with a knife, and as a result, people's flesh is also opened, then you won't be caught and killed? So you have to practice until you meet the requirements. ”
Ju Wuyi listened with a smile all the time, and at this time, he couldn't help but pick up the conversation: "Next, I'll talk about it, when this ability is almost practiced, I will change to practice with paper...... Generally, dozens of pieces of paper are stacked together, and then it is required to cut through three pieces of paper with a knife, practice slowly, and finally practice until a knife goes down to cut a piece of paper, and there can be no traces on the paper below, which is qualified. ”
Speaking of this, Ju Wuyi smiled at Ye Qian: "Boy, according to your seniority, you have to call me uncle." ”
