The sun is like fire, and on the cliff of the Yellowstone Cliff, there is a young man who climbs with his bare hands, who is exploring the small stone crevices step by step, his hands and feet are fully open, like a spider crawling on the wall, moving slowly. Sweat continued to drip down the man's face, and his bare spine was covered with dense beads of sweat.

The person on the cliff is none other than Chuan Tao, who has been practicing with Master Huangshi at Huangshi Cliff for more than a month. Thick calluses had already been worn out on his hands and feet, and the sixteen-year-old boy had a thick muscle bump on his body.

The season is full of autumn days, and it is the time when the autumn tiger is raging. Chuan Tao practiced diligently day after day, and his physical fitness has been reborn, and the practice has entered the second stage. Now Chuantao climbs the tree like a monkey, chases a rabbit like the wind, walks on the cliff, and soars above the house, and can often bring a few small animals in the forest back to enrich their lives.

In the thatched hut under the cliff, Wu Lao was fighting on the chessboard against the Huangshi Daoren. Wu Lao's victory has appeared, and he boasted triumphantly: "Playing chess is like practicing medicine, and carefully seeking the opportunity is the foundation of victory. ”

"Don't win two games with me and don't know what your last name is, it's not like you haven't lost." Huangshi Daoren was not convinced, and rolled his eyes at Wu Lao.

"Look, it's not modest at all. People make mistakes, horses stumble, and occasionally they win a game, and they think it's because their chess skills have improved. Haha~~~" Wu Lao turned from offense to defense, only to make the Huangshi Dao people more and more impulsive, and quickly surrendered.

"I have Chuantao's martial arts training plan in my heart, how can it be like you will be fine after eating." Huangshi Dao people are indeed more worried than Wu Lao, this is a fact.

"You've found a reason, okay? Tomorrow I should go to the town to buy some rice, otherwise I can only eat stick noodles, you don't care, I feel sorry for Chuantao Nawa. The handsome future life was destroyed by you so calloused that he was so tired that he died and came back to life, and I really didn't want to let him eat more fine grains. "Since I arrived at the foot of the Huangshi Cliff, the food has always been in charge of Wu Lao, and he has become the head of this family of three.

"You can go as you like, anyway, I'm going to start teaching Chuantao some basic boxing techniques tomorrow, the foundation is almost done, it's time to get to the point." The people of Huangshi Dao are preparing to add new training subjects to Chuantao. It can be said that the time is short and the task is heavy, and it is not possible to speed up the progress.

"It's your business, the old man can't help, anyway, I'm going to send him back the year after tomorrow, otherwise I'll lose my trust with my benefactor." At that time, I wanted to see a young man who was a man of all-round civil and military talents. ”

"I, Huangshi, finally found such a piece of material, how can I not make him a human being? But I have to thank you for giving me a color to him, otherwise I would have lost it. ”

"It's good to know, haha. I'm going to make something delicious for my precious apprentice, how about you catch some more game and come back?" Don't have to go to the snowdrift to dig food in the winter, you have to prepare some dry goods and store them there. ”

"It's a small meaning, go and go back, there is no reason to return empty-handed." After the Huangshi Daoist finished speaking, he hurriedly walked down the slope, and entered the forest in a blink of an eye.

The next day, Chuan Tao finished lifting the lock and took a good bath in the pool, and the Huangshi Daoist didn't let him go to the thatched hut and directly ordered: "From today on, I will pass you the thirteen styles of Wudang Changquan." ”

"Hehe, the master finally taught me martial arts." Chuan Tao didn't feel pressure at all after more than a month of hard training, but wondered why the master didn't teach him the kung fu of fighting, and now he finally waited.

"Thousands of high-rise buildings start from the ground, the basic skills are not hot, and teaching you is also a showcase, what's the use? Look at it—"

Huang Shi practiced a set of boxing techniques in the large space of the stone house. Then explain the essentials and key points of boxing techniques in sections, until Chuantao also played similarly, and then said: "Practice for a period of time first, and then dismantle with me, the consequence of not practicing seriously is that I will beat my nose and face swollen, understand?" ”

"The disciple understands, he must practice hard." In fact, there is no doubt about Chuantao's serious spirit, and this more than month of training has confirmed that Chuantao is a good disciple who is serious and eager to learn.

"It's good to understand. Let's go. Huang Shi plated into the hut again, ignored Chuantao anymore, and left Chuantao in the stone hut to train alone.

Huang Shi filled the kettle with water with a scoop made of half a gourd, took a few sticks of dry firewood and lit it to boil water. After a while, the boiling water was boiling, and the people of Huangshi Dao brewed a pot of tea, which was full of fragrance.

When the coffee table was filled with a row of white porcelain teacups, Huangshi Dao remembered that Wu Lao had gone to Guniu Town to buy rice today, so he had to drink it alone.

It is said that after Wu Lao had breakfast, he rode a mule and rushed to Guniu Town. When you arrive in town, it's when the bazaar is at its busiest. Vegetable sellers, rice sellers, and meat sellers all spread out small stalls on both sides of the town, and they shouted without a sound. Wu Lao didn't rush to buy anything, so he went to the inn in Dongtou first to see if Lin Fang's wife was so good.

Wu Lao pushed open the half-hidden door and saw a fat sister-in-law drying clothes on the rope, it was estimated that he had cured the wife of the Lin family, so he said: "This lady, is Lin Fang at home?" The woman turned her head, remembering that it was the old man who had treated her that day, and immediately greeted her with a smile: "Yo, Mr. Wu, a rare guest, come and sit in the house, and I'll boil water for you to make tea." ”

Wu Lao himself led the horse to the livestock shed next to him and tied it, went to the house and found a chair to sit on, the woman had already boiled a pot of water, brewed a pot of tea, brought it over and put it on the table, took the washed teacup, poured a cup and handed it to Wu Lao. "Sir, please have tea. Where are you from? Wu Lao took the teacup, blew it, took a sip, and it was still hot, so he put the cup on the table and said, "I'm from a friend's house, it's not very far, come to the town to buy some rice and noodles or something and go back to change the taste." By the way, let's see if you're cured. ”

"My family Lin Fang is talking about your old great kindness every day, but I don't know where you are and can't find it. I'm completely well, isn't this the same spirit as before again? This is thanks to the great grace of your master and apprentice. ”

"I can't talk about it, I just ran into it, it's your luck." Wu Lao said.

"I have to get Lin Fang back. He went to sell fish in town. You sit for a moment. The woman trotted all the way out to find Lin Fang.

Wu Lao picked up the teacup again and drank the tea.

A slight moan reached Wu Lao's ears. Wu Lao listened carefully again, and after a while, another moan came, as if it was inside the house. Wu Lao is already familiar with this place, although the owner is not at home, it should be fine to take a little walk. Then he followed the direction from which the voice came. In a dimly lit room, a young man lay on the bed, and it was from here that the moaning sound came from.

As soon as Wu Lao arrived at the door, the man on the bed was very nervous, and while poking his hand under the pillow, he shouted softly: "Who, don't move!" ”

Wu Lao's surprise is not trivial, he doesn't want people to visit, it seems that this nosy thing is really easy to get into trouble. But when I got to the door, I didn't want to retreat, so I had to speak: "I'm a friend of Boss Lin, I was drinking tea outside just now, and I came to visit when I heard a sound in this house, and I didn't want to alarm the guests." Excuse me, you rest, I'll go. ”

"Oh, don't tell anyone about what you just saw, please be respectful." Wu Lao withdrew and continued to drink tea.

After a while, I only heard Lin Fang's hoarse voice from the courtyard: "Haha, I said why is the business so prosperous today, it turns out that the distinguished guest has entered the door." How is Mr. Wu doing? The voice paused, and the person also arrived in front of Wu Lao, Lin Fang was still holding a large grass carp weighing more than ten catties in his hand, and he fanned his tail vigorously.

"Chrysanthemum, come and take the fish to raise it with water, and give it to Mr. Wu to take back later." The woman's name is Chrysanthemum.

"Okay, right away." Hearing the sound of kitchen knives on the cutting board in the kitchen, Chrysanthemum came over and took the big fish away.

"Today, my wife cooks, you have lunch and then leave." Yesterday, I got a lot of fish at the bottom of the mountain, and I didn't have much business in this shop, so I went to sell fish, just to make fish for Mr. Wu. Lin Fang said enthusiastically.

Wu Lao remembered the incident in the house just now, so he whispered in Lin Fang's ear, "Who lives in that house?" It's like it's mysterious and doesn't want people to know. ”

"There is nothing to hide in front of Mr. Wu. This is a cousin of mine, who joined the Red Army a few years ago, was chased into the mountains by ** a few days ago, and only quietly touched me in the middle of the night last night. It is true that outsiders cannot know about it, and once this matter is known by the government, it will be a fatal thing. He was wounded, and he just wanted to go to their comrades after two days of recuperation. ”

"Oh, I see. This is indeed a very trivial matter, and it must not be known. But I hear him moaning here, and it seems to be hurting a lot, do you need my help to take a look? "Wu Lao is Langzhong after all, and he can't ignore the illness.

"I'm going to ask my cousin about this, and he is willing to let you treat it, so please treat it." Lin Fang couldn't make up his mind. And he went inside. Wu Lao could only hear the whispered voice inside for a while outside, but he couldn't hear what was said. Finally, Lin Fang came out and said to Wu Lao: "My cousin asked about your situation, please take a look at the injury in the house first, and then talk about it, if it can be treated, please keep it a secret if it can't be treated." Wu Lao followed behind Lin Fang, and the young man who entered the door this time didn't react so much. Wu Lao walked to the bedside, lifted the quilt, and took a closer look, oh my God, there were three gunshot wounds, one on the back, one on the arm, and one on the leg. The wounds had already suppurated, and Wu Lao probed the young man's forehead with his hand, which was a little hot. Wu Lao asked, "How long have you been injured?" ”

"Three days ago, it wasn't a single injury, in the process of escaping, I first injured my arm, then injured my back, and injured my leg when I was down this mountain, so I had to lie down with my cousin for two days, and I didn't dare to go out to find medicine, so I could only grit my teeth and persevere." When the young man finished speaking, sweat broke down on his forehead.

"The medicine on my body can only give you pain relief, and to treat this gunshot wound, you have to open the knife to take out the bullet, and I won't be able to do it well for a while. I have an idea, you see if it will work, I live in a very private place, basically no contact with the outside world, that is my friend's place. If you don't worry, I want to get you there for treatment with my friend late tonight, and it will be fine to raise you for half a month. Okay, I'll do it, if not, then I can only give you some painkillers for the time being. Wu Lao said seriously.

The young man thought for a long time, then looked at Lin Fang again, and Lin Fang said: "Your sister-in-law was sick last time, and this old Mr. Wu gave her a good look, and she didn't want any money." In my opinion, Mr. Wu is a person who can definitely be trusted. Make up your own mind. ”

"Okay, I believe in my brother and Mr. Wu. Our Red Army fights the world for the common people, relying on the common people, and if it is caught by the government army, it will be a dead end. We were forced to take the long march from the base area this time, and we were beaten badly, but we will never give in. In any case, only by surviving can the revolution continue. I accept Mr. Wu's suggestion. ”

Wu Lao took out a small bottle from his arms, asked Lin Fang for a bowl, mixed some medicinal powder with water, put it on the wound of the young man, and then asked for a strip of cloth to bandage it a little. Finally, he said to the young man, "In the middle of the night I will come again with my friend and carry you away with a mule." ”

After Wu Lao finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Outside, Lin Fang's wife had already prepared a table of dishes, waiting for Lin Fang and Wu Lao to come out to eat.

Seeing Wu Lao coming out of the house, Lin Fang's wife hurriedly stood up and invited Wu Lao to sit down and eat.

Because of what happened just now, Wu Lao and Lin Fang didn't have much to say at the table, so they only said a few polite words and drank a few small glasses of wine.

After the meal, Wu Lao went to the town to carry a bag of rice and a bag of white noodles, and put them on the mule, Lin Fang also took out the big grass carp and hung it on the mule's back.
