Chapter 13: General Flying Stone
Song Rentou and Yu Xiaoyu went out of the city gate and went all the way to the south.
"Alas, Xiaoyu, why don't you talk to General Ben." Along the way, Song Rentou talked to Yu Xiaoyu like a chatter.
Yu Xiaoyu was like a dumb person, except for the necessary parking, resting, and eating, Song Rentou's words were directly ignored.
This night, the two slept in the woods on the side of the road, Yu Xiaoyu lit a fire by himself, roasted a wild pheasant, and Song Rentou started chatting again.
"How old do you think you are, eighteen or twenty?"
"This old man is in his sixties, how can he still have such a young nephew as you? Why don't I believe it? β
"Lao Yu has a big donkey face, his face is as black as the bottom of a cauldron, you say you are white and clean, Lao Yu also said that you are your own nephew, isn't this fooling General Ben?"
Song Rentou chattered endlessly, and Yu Xiaoyu turned a deaf ear.
"Uncle said, don't let me talk to the general." Song Ren was stunned for a long time, and Yu Xiaoyu finally spoke. "And I don't want to talk to you either."
"Yo, why? Does this old man want to be angry with me, let's come out and let me take a dumb man, either to be angry with me or to suffocate me. Song Ren said angrily.
"Uncle said that you are chattering, and I talk to you too much, I'm afraid that I will also get infected with talking too much." Yu Xiaoyu looked at Song Rentou and said seriously.
"Hehe, isn't this old Yu a fart? Why is General Ben just chattering? Song Rentou was directly laughed at by Yu Xiaoyu's serious appearance.
"The general is just chattering, listening to the old man say, this is a disease, and it must be cured." Yu Xiaoyu smiled when he saw Song Rentou, and then added with a serious expression.
"Haha, you're still a master of telling jokes, haha." Now Song Rentou is even more happy.
"Lao Yu didn't let you talk to me, so you said you didn't want to talk to me, why is that?" Song Rentou asked again.
"The name the general gave me is too ugly, I want to beat you when I hear you call me Xiaoyu." Yu Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "But I can't beat you, my uncle asked me to protect you." After a few seconds of pause, Yu Xiaoyu explained again.
"Haha, how good, how mighty, how domineering." Song Rentou danced happily after listening to it, and the more he spoke, the more he felt that his name was good.
"Old Yu asked you to protect me? Haha, didn't he tell you, you are a coachman, not a bodyguard, this general has strong martial arts, with one enemy and one hundred, do you still use your child to protect you. Song Rentou said with a laugh.
After hearing this, Yu Xiaoyu rolled his eyes directly, simply ignored him, lowered his head and turned around with the roast pheasant in his hand.
"Yo, the young man is not convinced, why don't we practice?" Song Rentou squeezed to Yu Xiaoyu's side, and Yu Xiaoyu moved to the side angrily, feeling helpless.
"Oh, uncle, it's hard for you to stay in the General's Mansion for all these years, this general is a psychopath, he wants to tease me again, I'm going to beat him, uncle, don't blame me, I can't hold back the fire in my stomach for the past few days."
Yu Xiaoyu thought in his heart, but moved to the side again, turned around, and turned sideways to Song Rentou, still not talking.
"Don't worry, little fisherman, in the wilderness, even if you lose to my old man, no one will know, just me, hehe." Song Rentou smiled while stretching out his hand, but he didn't make any movements, and the wooden stick for roasting pheasants arrived in his hand.
"Then the general should be careful." Yu Xiaoyu finally couldn't hold it back, stood up and threw his hand at Song Ren, and opened the shelf.
"Yo he, Lao Yu handed over his three-legged cat's big stele hand to you, you are still small, let him cheat, this thing is useless." Song Rentou said shyly.
Yu Xiaoyu didn't say anything, just put on a posture, looking at Song Rentou, he was already full of anger at the moment, and he couldn't beat this cheap general with a hammer.
"Look at you are not convinced, young man, don't say that General Ben bullied you, if you can snatch this pheasant back from General Ben, General Ben will not eat tonight, if you can't grab it back, you will be hungry tonight, haha." Song Rentou shook the roast chicken in his hand, and said with a laugh, that unbeaten expression, he really wanted to make Bang Bang punch twice.
Yu Xiaoyu breathed a long sigh of relief, his face returned to calm, and then he took the lead and beckoned to Song Rentou.
This big stele hand is the old Yu family's close-range exercises, the shot is like holding the stele in his arms, but the fist can be palm, can be soft and rigid, Yu Xiaoyu is angry in his heart, and he does not go to grab the roast pheasant, a pair of iron fists let him dance the tiger and tiger, it is clear that he is throwing at Song Ren, who is blasting the hammer.
Song Rentou looked at this posture, and laughed even more happily: "Good boy, this big stele can be rigid and soft, but if you make it, it is strong and straight, it seems that you really want to punch General Ben twice." β
Yu Xiaoyu is taking the masculine road, but also with a young and righteous spirit, there is no trick in his shots, and his moves make him simple, open and close, and point to where to fight, ordinary people must be unable to dodge, so they can only resist.
But our Song general, wearing flowers under his feet, looks like a flocculent, is not hard, and only blindly dodges.
The thirty-six styles of the big stele hand let Yu Xiaoyu practice them all, but the annoying thing was that he didn't even touch the corners of Song Rentou's clothes. Seeing this, Yu Xiaoyu knew that he had met a master, and it would be useless to fight again, and the anger in his heart disappeared, so he stopped and clenched his fists and said: "The general is good at kung fu, Yu Xiaoyu is convinced." β
"Yes, yes, you are a good boy if you know that you can change your mistakes." Song Rentou teased.
"I see that your trick is the path of the big stele hand, and it can be used too positively, if you want to meet a master, you will definitely suffer." Song Rentou looked at Yu Xiaoyu and said, "Old Yu This guy is the most wilted, he can't do this kind of road." β
"Uncle did teach that this big stele can be soft or strong, and the tricks can be positive or yin, but I thought that the big husband walked in the world, was upright and upright, and I disdained to use those feminine tricks." Yu Xiaoyu said with a righteous face.
"It's so upright, it's fair, it's good." Song Rentou said approvingly.
"Can you use weapons?"
"Uncle didn't teach. I have practiced knife skills blindly for a while. Yu Xiaoyu said seriously.
"Your martial arts are more than enough to strengthen your body and defend yourself, but the world is about to rise in turmoil, and it is not easy for the living. Song Rentou said with a serious face, seeing that Yu Xiaoyu did not react, but he was in a hurry, "This kid is so unreasonable, hurry up and kowtow to the teacher, Lao Tzu will pass on your weapon tactics." β
Yu Xiaoyu didn't squeak, Song Rentou still maintained his masterful demeanor, and he was embarrassed for a while.
Yu Xiaoyu is also a well-thought-out person, how can he not understand that Song Rentou wants to pass on his blade method, but Song Rentou is not angry with him before, and he also understands that Song Rentou will teach him if he doesn't speak, so he simply pretends to be stupid and angry with him.
"Ahem, this general was invincible in the battlefield, in addition to this general has a set of peerless knife skills, no one can beat him, but also created a set of stick methods, this general named eighteen sticks, you go to the forest to find a wooden stick, today this general will show you, learn more and see less of your creation."
Song Rentou also understood that this kid was angry with him, so he simply didn't talk about it, and directly wanted to teach on the spot.
Not long after, Yu Xiaoyu came back with a wooden stick, Song Rentou took the wooden stick, and his momentum changed, and he played in the open space next to him.
"The stick is the ancestor of a hundred soldiers, the law is flexible, the stick method is changeable, the attack can be split, poked, picked, swept, collapsed, defended can be dialed, twisted, gridded, dancing flowers, you look carefully." Song Rentou danced while talking, and the ordinary wooden stick was swept by the tiger and tiger he danced, and it was impenetrable.
Yu Xiaoyu pondered carefully on the side and watched carefully. With Song Rentou's last stick sweep, the yellow fallen leaves were already flying all over the sky.
"Did you get it, boy?" Song Rentou regained his lazy appearance and said breathlessly.
"Got it." Yu Xiaoyu nodded and said.
"Learn a fart, you will do it once, you will be a fairy." Song Rentou rolled his eyes in his heart and scolded secretly.
"Then, give General Ben a practice." Song Rentou had the intention to laugh at him for not knowing the height of the sky, and threw the stick directly at him.
Yu Xiaoyu took the wooden stick, closed his eyes and breathed slightly, and then danced in the open space.
Yu Xiaoyu's heart is open, his understanding is extraordinary, although the tricks are the same, but Yu Xiaoyu dances to add a bit of momentum to the big open and close, and the branch is also like a dragon entering the sea when he dances, and if a tiger goes down the mountain, Song Rentou who watched it also applauded secretly.
The more Yu Xiaoyu practiced, the more intoxicated he became, and he simply finished practicing and beating again, and after two times, the movements were even smoother, pleasing to the eye, coupled with the firm eyes and decisive movements, as if the woods were shrouded in murderous aura.
"It's okay, it's okay, what is the smelly show, when General Ben created this stick method, he also did it casually, and it is not surprising that General Ben personally demonstrated it and learned it." Song Rentou saw that this kid was practicing devotedly, muttered a few words, turned around and leaned against the tree to drink.
Yu Xiaoyu was completely intoxicated by that set of stick methods, and he figured it out quietly or movingly.
Early the next morning, the two continued their journey.
The road taken by the two is called the Meridian Official Road, starting from Dacheng and crossing the Qinling Mountains, which is Hanzhong County.
Most of this meridian official road is a valley and dense forest, and it is inevitable that there are many bandits, and since the two of them drove in, they have encountered many bandits along the way. If it is a bandit road tyrant who wants to kill people and sell goods, Song Rentou will let Yu Xiaoyu kill them all, and if it is a displaced person who has lost his land and still has a conscience, he will let Yu Xiaoyu teach him a lesson and drive him away.
A few days after entering the Meridian Official Road, the road did not walk much, but a lot of loot was collected, in addition to a carriage of gold, silver and jewelry, axes, knives and forks, and four or five horses following the car, Song Rentou did not lie in the car, simply let Yu Xiaoyu ride a horse alone, of course, this is also a trophy, he leaned on the frame of the car to drink, let the old horse move forward by himself.
On this day, the autumn wind was blowing, and seeing that the cold winter was coming, Song Rentou was holding the wine jar and drinking, and boasted to Yu Xiaoyu, "Oh, Xiaoyu, do you think it's cold?" Let me tell you, when I led the troops to walk from this meridian road, under the heavy snow, there were no horse legs, spitting and foaming, and it became ice hockey balls on people's faces, I and my two thousand brothers, dressed in white and white, secretly passed from this road, and directly almost scared the old man Wei to death, old man Wei, you know, it is the old Wei in Hanzhong, alas, you don't know itγγγγγγ β
Yu Xiaoyu didn't pay attention to him, at the moment he was playing with a serious ash stick, the whole body was as white as jade, the feel was delicate, the texture was hard and tough, this was snatched from an unknown unlucky robber.
After Yu Xiaoyu killed several waves of robbers in a few days, his hands were stained with human life, and he was more like a sharp blade that opened the light, sharp and straight. In addition, these days I am accustomed to riding a horse to kill, and it is even more majestic, even if the mountain road is rugged, it is also a moment to rush forward, a moment to rush behind, a moment to chase chickens, a moment to chase rabbits, and have a lot of fun.
Song Rentou watched Yu Xiaoyu run away energetically, and he didn't talk to himself, so he closed his eyes and recuperated, and after a while, there was a sudden bang, and the wine jar in his hand shattered. The old horse in the cart also roared.
Song Rentou woke up in shock, hurriedly comforted the old horse, and looked around.
"Don't look, you can't see me." At this time, a voice came, and although the voice tried its best to conceal it, it still couldn't hide the youthful immaturity that was revealed.
"Who are you, what are you going to do, I'm a good old man." When Song Rentou heard the voice, he knew that the child was hiding behind a stone not far in front of him, and deliberately said in the opposite direction.
"I am the general of this meridian official Dao Feishi, the one who broke your wine jar just now is my stone, that is my subordinate mercy, otherwise it will be replaced by a knife, and you would have seen the king of Hades a long time ago." General Feishi said viciously.
"Oh, thank you for the general's mercy, your kung fu is really amazing, old man, I admire the predecessors the most, but it's a pity that the wine jar is broken, otherwise I will have to talk to the general." Since Song Rentou left the capital, his face was less washed, his beard was not shaved, his hair was combed more lazily, he couldn't even see his appearance clearly, and his clothes were dirty.
"You don't talk nonsense, take out the silver taels on your body, put them on the stone next to you, if you have something to eat, take out some of it, you old horse and broken cart, this general is not uncommon. Tie the horses behind the carriage to the trees next to them. The voice said with a pretended viciousness.
"Oh, general, you, the famous Feishi general, a master of martial arts, why are you still doing this roadblock robbery, doesn't this ruin your reputation? My heart is broken. Song Rentou was full of nonsense, and the more he acted, the more addicted he became, and he mocked it by the way.
Sure enough, after saying this, there was no sound behind the stone, and it seemed that Song Rentou was ashamed and had no confidence.
"General, are you in trouble, it must be like this, you are embarrassed to say, it doesn't matter, who doesn't have a horse when the horse is high and short, the little old man doesn't have much money, so he will take it out for you, and leave this dry food for you, and give it to you this old horse and broken car, see if I can help you tide over the difficulties." The more Song Rentou spoke, the more energetic he became, deliberately stiffened up, stretched out his sleeve to wipe his tears.
"Old man, I'm old, it's a waste of food to eat, everything is left for you, I'll go to the hillside in front of me to find a cliff hole and jump down, alas, it's just that I still have a ninety old lady and no one cares about it." Song Ren was crazy and full of nonsense, and the people behind the stone had probably never heard such words, and they suddenly didn't know how to reply.
"No, no, old man, you keep your carriage and horses and silver, just leave some food, this general has indeed encountered some difficulties, and when he passes this hurdle, he will definitely repay you with gold and silver treasures." After waiting for a few minutes, there was finally another sound behind the stone.
"Old man, I'm so old, I don't need to repay it, as long as you live well, little general." After speaking, he didn't forget to cough a few times, and he became more and more weak.
"Good old man, you dare to fool me!" Behind the stone, when he heard Song Rentou talking about the little general, he immediately understood that he was being recognized, and this old man might be acting with him.
"You're so dishonest and full of rhetoric, it seems that you have to learn a lesson." After General Feishi finished speaking, two stones swished and hit the old horse's buttocks, and the old horse swayed again and again in pain, and the car swayed with it.
Song Rentou thought to himself, this kid's secret weapon technique is not bad, it is better to come out and take a look.
"The little general is angry, I hear the voice and think that you are not very old, how can I deceive you. Your secret weapon is so powerful, I don't dare to deceive you. β
"Why don't you come out and let me see it, and I know who the things are for."
There was no sound behind the stone for a long time, and Song Rentou added fire and said: "General, you see that I have never seen anything in the world, I have reached such an old age, out of this meridian official road, I don't know how many days I will live when I go back, I have never seen what the general looks like in my life, you can meet the wish of my little old man." β
Song Rentou is really a natural acting school, and he cried as he spoke, and a whimpering cry came out of the mouth of a rickety old man, which really made people unbearable.
"Okay, okay, old man, I'll let you see what a general is today." General Feishi said helplessly, as if he had mustered up a lot of courage.
After speaking, four children ran out from behind the stones, the eldest was fifteen or sixteen, and the youngest was seven or eight years old, each with a small slingshot, and after running out, they were divided into two columns, and soon a young man of seventeen or eighteen crossed his hands on his waist and walked out with a swagger.
Song Rentou saw this appearance, and almost laughed in his heart, these five children were wearing disheveled clothes, tattered, and the young man led by him was wearing a pair of adult military boots, and there was a leg guard missing, the boots may be too big to fit, and the teenager tied a few more on the upper with a straw rope, and a cowhide helmet on his head, which was also mottled and tattered, and he didn't know where to pick it up at first glance.
Song Rentou endured his face and pretended: "Oh general, you are really majestic." β
Then he looked at the slingshot in the young man's hand and said, "General, your secret weapon is the slingshot in your hand, it is really exquisite, and it must have been able to shoot without missing a shot." β
The young man knew that the image of several people was embarrassed, and he would not come out if he was alone, but when he saw that the old man was miserable and crying, he looked like he had never seen the world, after all, the young man had a soft heart, so he led his subordinates out, and he also pretended to be calm.
"The old man is right, my slingshot is unparalleled in the world, but I can wear Yang in a hundred steps, and I can play without missing hair." The boy said proudly.
As he was talking, he heard the seven or eight-year-old child's stomach growling, and it seemed that he had been hungry for a long time.
The young man was also hungry at the moment, and when he heard his stomach growling, he couldn't help but blush with embarrassment, and he didn't know what to do.
"A few generals are probably hungry, Xiao Lao'er still has some dry food and jerky, please taste a few generals." Song Rentou said, stretched out his hand and took out a bag in the carriage, opened it and put it in front of everyone.
Several people's eyes suddenly lit up, and they all looked at the young man.
"Since the old man invites you, then you don't have to excuse yourself, let's eat quickly." The boy nodded, pretending.
Hearing this, several people picked up dry food and dried meat one after another, and began to eat it in large gulps.
Song Rentou took out two jars of wine from the carriage and said to a few generals: "Eat slowly, generals, there are two jars of wine to cheer up a few generals." β
These children have never drunk wine, and they were also choked by dry food, and they were not polite, so they opened the wine jar and drank in turn, eating and drinking, and after a while, they were drunk and hazy.
Song Rentou saw the dress of these people, and he could guess that several children must be orphans, with no land and no property, and he wanted to leave some silver taels to help, but he was playful and had a plan.
"General, can you let me see your slingshot, Xiao Lao'er was also a famous slingshot player in ten miles and eight villages when he was young, and he also hit one hundred shots and two hundred steps through Yang." Song Rentou said deliberately.
"You just blow it, whoever can wear Yang in 200 steps can call him Dad." General Feishi drank a few sips of wine, and he was also a little upset.
"That's it, our eldest brother only wears Yang in 100 steps, if you old man can wear Yang in 200 steps, we will call you Dad." The rest of the children also said in a heckling voice.
"Gee, I'm just saying, you guys are serious. But how to count two hundred steps through Yang. Song Rentou said deliberately weakly.
"It's easy to say, look at me." So saying, the young man got up, measured forward from the side of the carriage, and when he took it a hundred paces away, he moved a large stone from the side, and then moved a small stone and put it on it, and then walked another hundred steps, and pressed the small stone on the big stone, and then turned around, took out the slingshot, took a slight aim, and snapped, and the small stone a hundred paces away fell in response.
Then he shouted at Song Rentou: "Does the old man dare to bet?" If you want to shoot this little stone, we will all call you Daddy, anyway, we will not suffer at your age, if you don't shoot, we don't want you to do anything else, just leave us a horse when you leave. β
"It's just that if it weren't for the fact that it's not easy to see how old you are, you won't be able to keep a horse." The fourteen-fifteen child said.
"Oh, it's so far, I'm afraid your slingshot can't pull it so far." Song Rentou pretended to be embarrassed and said.
"Otherwise, I can't throw it with my hands, I'm so strong that I should be able to throw it." After Song Rentou finished speaking, everyone was stunned, thinking that this old man was stupid, could he throw his hand accurately? Even if it is accurate, can the speed and power be as fast and powerful as a slingshot? Besides, that's two hundred steps.
"Okay, you can throw it if you want, as long as you smash the stone, even if you win." The boy waved his hand and said.
"Okay, okay." Song Rentou pretended to tremble and walked to the carriage, took the stone from the child's hand, pretended to aim again, turned his arms, and shouted loudly: "Come on." β
With this sound, I saw the small stones on the big stones fall in response. The five teenagers in the town were stunned and looked at each other.
"Hehe, how is it, handsome or not?" Song Rentou said triumphantly.
"Big brother, do you see clearly?" The seven or eight-year-old asked.
"Didn't see clearly, what about you?" The boy said with a wink at a few people.
"I don't see it clearly." Several teenagers also hurriedly said.
"Old man, this time doesn't count, we didn't see it clearly, you can do it again." The boy said slyly.
"Hey, why are you still playing Lai Pi as a general?" Song Rentou said dissatisfiedly.
"I didn't play tricks, I just didn't see clearly." Not to be outdone, the boy was not to be outdone.
"Okay, look at this, you put two more, I'll throw three stones this time, you all take a closer look." Song Rentou said.
All the young men were shocked, they didn't expect the old man to have such courage.
After the boy was set up, Song Rentou shouted loudly: "Come on!" β
Bang bang, three sounds, three stones fell in response.
Now all the young people were stunned in place, and General Feishi was also confused, today this old man who looks weak and can't help but be windy, could it be that he is a master?
"Haha, call quickly, I finally have a son, haha, there are five of them at once!" Song Rentou was proud, and he didn't pretend anymore, and said to the five teenagers with his chest and waist crossed.
General Feishi walked back, looked at the triumphant old man, and knew that he was bad, he had been fooled, this guy had deliberately fought them in the first place.
Song Rentou looked at the expressions of the children, and his heart was not good, this kid knew that I was playing with him, and it seemed that he had to do something.
Then Song Rentou turned on the flickering mode, which is temporarily ignored here.
"Daddy"
"Be louder, you can't hear it."
"Daddy!"
"Be louder, I really can't hear it!"
"Dad~~!"
"Hey~~~~ Good son!"
Yu Xiaoyu rode back, and happened to meet five teenagers collectively called Dad, and was directly petrified by the moment of thunder, how did the general have five sons.
