Chapter 45: Another Year
Before dawn the next morning, Li Deyi woke up the children early as usual and began to take them for a run and morning exercise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After jogging around the Weibei camp twice with the team, Li Deyi called out the eight children who had successfully sensed the original qi, and asked them to line up in a separate row, and then lined up the remaining children in two teams, let them stand apart, and began to collectively practice "Taizu King's Third Set of Radio Fitness Boxing".
Speaking of this set of boxing techniques handed down by Taizu, it is also very interesting. When Li Deyi first read "The Romance of Taizu Dingchao" to the children, the book series knew this set of boxing techniques, and the book said that it was created by Taizu himself and used to strengthen the military and civilian physique under the rule. At that time, some children raised their hands and asked what this set of punches was about, could they see how to fight, and wanted to learn. It was also the first time that Li Deyi had heard of this set of boxing techniques, so he had to promise to ask the master for advice when he came back, and then he would explain it to the children in detail. Later, Li Deyi went to the master to ask him about this set of boxing techniques, and as soon as the old doctor Sun heard the name of this set of boxing, he began to look strange and tried to divert the topic. In the end, he couldn't stand Li Deyi's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and hesitated for a while, before getting up and going to find the boxing score of this boxing method. As soon as Li De looked at the yellowed cover of the boxing spectrum, he knew that this set of boxing techniques might really come from a lot of things, so he couldn't wait to take it from the master's hand, and directly opened it and sat on the chair and began to look at it.
After looking at it for a while, Li Deyi stood up stupidly, and said to the master with a dejected face: "Master, why can't I understand these pictures? Old Doctor Sun smiled and said, "It's best if you don't understand, you don't have to learn." Li Deyi said with a bitter face: "No, Master, I promised those children." Old Doctor Sun shook his head, obviously not planning to teach this set of boxing, but Li Deyi had to learn it, so he insisted on asking the master to beat him again, "Master, you just beat it once, just once, isn't it okay?" Old Doctor Sun insisted on refusing, and for a while, the master and apprentice were so stiff. At that time, Doctor Xiao Liu happened to walk in, and Old Doctor Sun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a deep voice with a straight face: "Apprentice, you came just in time, do the teacher a favor." Xiao Liu didn't understand what was going on at first, but when he took two steps forward and saw the yellowed boxing book in Li Deyi's hand, he immediately understood, turned around and fled directly.
Old Medical Officer Sun's face changed, and he shouted: "If you dare to run, you will be an apprentice as a teacher!" Doctor Xiao Liu had a bitter face, slowly turned around and said, "Master, is it necessary to be so strict?" Isn't that just this set of punches? I can't beat it, but you can't laugh when you fight. Old Doctor Sun said: "Don't talk nonsense, call quickly." At this age, how can you fight this set of punches, especially the last jump punch. If the master has something, the disciple should obey it, you come, it's a big deal for the teacher to read the mantra to you next to you, isn't it okay for the master to promise not to laugh when you play this boxing? Although Master promised this, Dr. Xiao Liu still muttered with reluctance: "I said that it didn't feel right to go out today, but I actually encountered this incident." Old Medical Officer Sun ignored him, coughed, and began to read aloud: "The first section of the 'Taizu Emperor's Third Set of Radio Fitness Boxing', stretch the fist." Ready, up! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, two, three, four...... Don't stand still, hurry up and follow the mantra to practice! ”
Doctor Xiao Liu cried and mourned, and reluctantly followed the mantra and began to perform, trying to keep a straight face, do the action in place, raise his hands, raise his feet, turn around, jump, and practice from the first way to the last way of jumping boxing.
After the old doctor Sun finished reading the mantra, his old face was already red, but after all, he forced his apprentice to practice, and he was really embarrassed to laugh again. Seeing that the master's face was flushed, Dr. Xiao Liu said angrily: "Laugh, laugh, laughing more is good for your old body, just don't laugh." Only then did the old doctor laugh out loud.
After Li Deyi finished watching this set of boxing techniques practiced by his senior brother, he was puzzled: "Master, what's so funny about this set of boxing?" On the contrary, I had a very familiar feeling, and I didn't find it funny. When Old Doctor Sun and Little Medical Officer Liu heard this, they stared at Li Deyi with wide eyes. Medical Officer Xiao Liu tried his best to make a serious look, and said to his junior brother: "Don't you want to trick me into practicing for the second time, just this time, is there more." If you can't learn it, don't want me to practice it again, absolutely not! Li De was stunned and said: "This set of boxing is good, I have a very familiar feeling, after going back, the children will set this set of boxing in the morning practice in the future." If there is nothing else, Master, I can take the boxing book and go, and I have written down the mantra. In the end, when the old doctor Sun and the little doctor Liu looked at each other, Li Deyi calmly took this set of boxing books and left, and muttered in wonder before leaving: "What a good boxing technique, why is the master so disfancied?" And this mantra is also very simple and catchy. What the hell is Master laughing at? ”
Now, Li Deyi can skillfully blow the rhythm of this set of boxing formulas with a whistle, and take the children to practice this set of "Taizu King's Third Set of Radio Fitness Boxing". Li Deyi didn't know how, that day from the master blood to this set of boxing formula, he directly picked up the whistle and blew it, and the blowing was very skillful, the whole person also felt an inexplicable cordiality to this tune, as if he had heard and learned this mantra for many years, and had practiced this set of boxing methods for many years.
After practicing a trip to "Taizu King's Third Set of Radio Fitness Boxing", Li Deyi asked the children to stand there by themselves to continue to familiarize themselves with this set of boxing techniques, and strive to practice as soon as possible. Then Li De called out the eight Kaimeng children and told them about his method of cultivating the original qi. For the sake of safety, Li Deyi allowed them to perceive up to ten primordial qi masses, and then operated these primordial qi masses to strengthen their sea awareness, and repeatedly emphasized that they were not allowed to be greedy or messy. The eight children looked at Brother Li's serious face, and they all nodded honestly in agreement, and then under the leadership of Li Deyi, they began their first formal Yuan Qi cultivation with the first ray of morning light in this winter.
Li De pinched the time, about half an hour, and stopped the children, the first time to cultivate the original qi, Li Deyi did not dare to delay for too long, for fear of the situation, just let the eight children experience it, and it was over. Next is the whole team, Li Deyi said: "Today is the twenty-nineth, there will be no class, you will have a day off, and you will go back to pick up and pick up later, and I will take you to the city in the morning." As soon as the words ended, the children burst into cheers. Li Deyi blew the brass whistle and returned with the children in a procession; Hungry barracks.
As soon as Li De entered the house, he saw his senior brother sitting there waiting for him. Without waiting for Li Deyi to speak, Medical Officer Xiao Liu spoke first: "Tomorrow is the New Year, the master and several generals have discussed, on the first day of the new year, we must first go to the martyrs' shrine in our Weibei camp to pay New Year's greetings to the brothers who died in battle, and when the whole camp will go, you must also prepare early." Li De nodded and agreed: "Okay, I know, when the time comes, I will take the children over together." Senior brother, I'm going to take the children to the street later, and if you want to be fine, go together. ”
Doctor Xiao Liu thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go, there are a lot of things that have to be prepared in advance for this worship, and I have to wait to help the master with a job." Li Deyi scratched his head and said, "Why don't I go and help, senior brother, you wait, I'll go and tell the children, don't take them out to play today, and go again tomorrow." After speaking, he turned his head and walked out, and Dr. Liu hurriedly stopped Li Deyi: "Wait, since you promised the children to take them out to play today, go quickly, don't break your trust in front of the children." I'll take care of it first, Master, and it's the same if you come back to help when you're free in the afternoon. That's it, you hurry up and take the children to play, the children should be impatient after a long time. Li Deyi smiled and said, "They are very sensible now." Brother, I'm going. ”
As soon as Li De returned to the wounded barracks, he first took the children to breakfast, then gathered the children, and went out with the team, heading straight for the market. When walking on the road, Li Deyi kept telling the children about the rare things he had seen in the New Year's fair before, what old donkey danced the tuozhi dance, and turned into a brazier with empty hands. As a result, when Li Deyi took the children to the street, except for a few selling couplets and New Year paintings, there was no one who sold tricks, and even those who sold all kinds of snacks were not there, and even the shops were closed directly.
Li Deyi couldn't help but walk to a stall selling New Year's paintings and asked, "Old man, how did you sell these New Year's paintings?" When the stall owner saw the business, he was quite happy: "Two copper coins a piece, how many can you buy, little brother?" Li Deyi pulled his fingers and calculated: "Two stickers on the door, the yard, the barracks...... Let's start with twenty sheets. As he spoke, he took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, counted out forty and handed them to the stall owner. The stall owner rolled up the New Year's picture, tied it with a thin straw rope, and handed it to Li Deyi with a smile. Li Deyi took the New Year's painting and asked casually: "Old man?" Why is the street so deserted? I remember that in the past, from the 28th of the lunar month to the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a New Year's fair every day, and many people came out to set up stalls to sell things. ”
The stall owner sighed: "Hey, little brother, don't you know, in recent years, the taxes of the imperial court have been higher and higher, and it would be good for us ordinary people to be able to support themselves, how can there be extra things to sell." Now the court is gone, but there is chaos outside every day, and there are wars everywhere. Everyone has been killed, and the merchants who do small business are gone. ”
Li Deyi was puzzled in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Since the Weibei Battalion took over this Dingbei County, in addition to collecting some grain, all the apportionments and miscellaneous expenses have been waived. And I didn't spend much effort to clear the bandits around here, the Tuliao people came twice, and they were all beaten back by our Weibei camp, why are ordinary people's homes still so withered? Hearing this, the old brother shook his head, frowned and said, "Little brother, although there is no more in the imperial court now, there are more ruthless Tuliao people. Not long ago, when the Tuliao army came, I won't tell you, we all thought that our Dingbei County would not be able to defend it. At that time, Xiao Lao'er's mind was full of the tragic incident of the Tuliao people slaughtering the city, and he was so frightened that he trembled. Later, I didn't know what happened, but the Weibei battalion actually repelled the Tuliao people again. But let the Tuliao people do this, the big guys are panicked, and they don't have the mind to do anything, maybe when the Tuliao people come again, they will click your whole family, and then everything will be over, don't you say? Li Deyi said: "Didn't the Weibei battalion beat the Tuliao people away? The families who were damaged by the Tuliao people who rushed into the city at the beginning were also given bereavement by the Weibei camp. Why are the villagers still so afraid of the Tuliao people in their hearts? The old man also opened the conversation box and said: "The Weibei camp is to beat the Tuliao people back. There are a total of people in the Weibei Battalion, and I have heard of the Tuliao people, there are hundreds of thousands of troops. The Weibei battalion can keep Dingbei County for a while, but it can't keep it for a lifetime, and one day the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tuliao people will crush our small county town with their hands. ”
As soon as Li De heard this, the fire in his heart immediately rose, and he just wanted to argue with this old man, but in a blink of an eye, he thought again, "If this old man can think like this, his neighbors on the left and right must also think like this." Ordinary people don't know how to fight the military, and it is common sense to only calculate victory or defeat based on the number of people, and I really can't complain about them. Thinking of this, Li Deyi didn't have the heart to go shopping anymore, anyway, the street was so deserted, there was nothing to shop. Whistle the whole team, take the children and go back. On the way back, a group of boys hung their heads, no longer happy before going out, just at this time a sugar gourd seller came over, and the man walked in front of Li Deyi with a large stack of sugar gourds. As soon as Li Deyi saw this stack of sugar gourds, his eyes lit up, and he asked if it was a copper coin and two strings, and directly took out two silver coins, stuffed them directly into the man's hand, and took over the large stack of sugar gourds, and said: "The money under your body is all for you!" Take it back for the New Year. He turned around and divided the children one by one.
With this string of sugar gourds, the children's depressed mood finally recovered, and they rushed back to the wounded barracks with them, and after announcing the disbandment, Li Deyi breathed a sigh of relief. Li Deyi excused himself to help the master and let the children move freely, so he slipped away.
When Li Deyi rushed to Master Sun's old medical officer, he happened to meet Senior Brother who was discussing with Master the specific matters of worshipping the Martyrs' Shrine on the first day of the new year. Pushing open the door, Li Deyi walked into the house with a cold wind, and Dr. Liu looked up at him and said, "Didn't you take the children out to play?" Why did you come back so soon? Li Deyi glanced at the master and said, "Don't mention it, there is nothing on the street this year." Master, where did you go? Old Medical Officer Sun beckoned, "You came just in time, help the teacher to consult the details." Our Weibei camp has experienced so many years of ups and downs, and this is the first time that we have to worship the dead brothers, but we must not be sloppy. This must be done well, so that the living brethren can rest assured. Pulling over a chair and sitting down, Li Deyi also frowned and began to help a piece of ideas. Senior brother Xiao Liu, medical officer, proposed: "Tomorrow we should give the brothers this year's new military uniforms, and when the worship is at the end, let the brothers line up neatly and practice on the campus field, and also show the majesty of the Weibei camp today." ”
Li Deyi's mind kept coming up with the words he had heard from the old man selling New Year's paintings on the street, and finally Li Deyi said to the master: "Master, we still have a lot of Tuliao heads, right?" Old Medical Officer Sun nodded, "Yes, there are still a lot, this time the imperial court is falling too fast, and our heads haven't had time to go to Commander Cao to exchange for military merits." As soon as the imperial court collapsed, the heads of the Tuliao people were worthless, and they couldn't get anything back, so they were all pickled in lime in the warehouse and stored. Li Deyi continued: "Master, how about we stack up a 'Jingguan'?" First, I want to explain to the dead soldiers that we have killed so many Tuliao people, and we can be regarded as avenging them, and they did not sacrifice in vain. The other is to show the current strength of our Weibei Battalion, it is said that it is a troubled time now, whoever is strong and strong has the final say, and our Weibei Battalion should also show its tendons and meat. Otherwise, there will always be those thieves who don't have long eyes who want to come to us to fish in troubled waters. You don't know, I just went to the street ......" Li Deyi took the opportunity to tell Master what he had just heard on the street. Old Medical Officer Sun touched his beard and thought for a while, and then said: "What you said is reasonable, this Dingbei County is now the foundation of our Weibei Camp, and it is not a good thing that the people are unstable under the rule, and it is necessary to let the people know that our Weibei Camp has the ability to protect them." ”
Dr. Xiao Liu interjected: "Where should this Jingguan be placed?" If it is placed outside the city, what should I do if the Tuliao people come to retaliate at that time? The battle of our Weibei battalion a few days ago wiped out all the elite cavalry, and now the cavalry is actually some new soldiers, if the Tuliao people come again, we have no way at all. The old doctor Sun pondered for a while, and said: "It's better to put it in the middle of the school field, facing the position of the gate of the Martyrs' Shrine, first, you can worship the dead robes, and secondly, when the time comes, we can let the people come to see, with the heads of these Tuliao people shaking here, the people should always believe in the ability of our Weibei camp, and they will all be at ease." ”
After hearing Master's words, Li Deyi answered: "Master, I suddenly came up with an idea just now, can you listen to it?" Why don't we change the military horse drill on the school field to a military parade along the county seat. Old Medical Officer Sun pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "Traditionally, military parades have only been allowed by saints, if we do this, I'm afraid it will be trespassing." Doctor Xiao Liu said beside him: "Master, the court is gone now, the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven are unknown, no one is alive, no corpse is dead." Most of them were captured by the Tuliao. What are we still using? The old doctor Sun touched his beard with his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's still walk around the county seat, don't call it a military parade, and claim that it is just a New Year's military drill to deter Xiaoxiao, how about it?" In this way, we can not only worship the robes that have died in our army over the years, but also let the people see the strength of our Weibei Battalion, and it is also convenient for us to recruit new soldiers on a large scale next year. ”
Li Deyi clapped his hands and said, "Jiang is still spicy from Master, Master, let's say okay first, and my children will also participate in tomorrow's drill." When the time comes, I will play the banner of 'Weibei Youth Camp'! ”
