Chapter 4 One Month
At home, grandfather Yu Quan has come back from the clinic, and is reading a thick medical book in the study.
Seeing Yu Ke coming back, Yu Quan didn't raise his head: "How are you learning boxing today?" ”
Yu Ke replied, "Master taught me to stand on the boy pile today. ”
Yu Quan bowed slightly: "Yes, the boy pile is very suitable for laying foundations." Practice hard and don't be afraid to endure hardships. ”
As he spoke, Yu Quan asked again, "Have you read the Book of Kindness that was handed over to you yesterday?" ”
Yu Ke nodded: "It's been memorized." ”
"Memorized? That "Book of Raising Kindness" has more than 3,700 words. You memorized it overnight? Yu Quan raised his head and looked at Yu Ke in surprise.
"If Grandpa doesn't believe me, he can test me." Yu Ke said confidently.
After crossing over, although he didn't wake up any golden fingers, he found that his memory had become much stronger, and he could almost remember it.
Even some vague memories of his past life became very clear in his mind.
He can easily recall anything he learned in high school and college.
"Then you recite the method of nourishing qi inside to me."
Yu Ke memorized it as required, word for word, and Yu Quan looked a little excited after hearing it.
"I didn't expect that after two days of fever, it didn't burn your brain, but made you smarter, it's unbelievable. I've been practicing medicine for most of my life, and this is the first time I've seen anything like this. Yu Quan stroked his beard, amazed.
"Now that you have memorized the Book of Benevolence, what do you not understand?"
Yu Ke listed several obscure and incomprehensible places in the book one by one, and Yu Quan also patiently answered.
"Well, yes, tell me what you understand, and see if there are any mistakes."
After communicating for more than an hour, the night gradually deepened, and Yu Quan showed a tired look.
Seeing this, Yu Ke stopped asking for advice, said goodbye to his grandfather, and returned to his bedroom.
After washing up, Yu Ke sat on the bed and meditated and practiced the method of nourishing qi in the Book of Benevolence.
After practicing for more than half an hour, I felt a little tired mentally, so I didn't practice anymore.
Take off your clothes and cover yourself with a quilt, and sleep until dawn.
Time flies, and soon a month passes.
Yu Ke went to a private school with Huo Yuanjia and Nong Jinsun every morning to read and write, and in the afternoon he went to the Huojia Boxing Gym to practice Tongzi Pile Gong.
In the evening, under the guidance of Yu Quan, he practiced the method of nourishing qi or studied medical skills.
I have to say that the Yu family, as a family of traditional Chinese medicine, has a lot of medical books at home.
"The Theory of the Five Elements of the Human Body", "Orthopedic Massage", "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Juying", "The Complete Book of Meridians", "Acupoint Diagram", ......
"Compendium of Materia Medica", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Qianjinfang", "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", ......
There are at least a thousand medical books of all kinds and disciplines, and there are many rare books.
In addition, there are many precious prescriptions for some intractable diseases.
To be honest, Yu Ke's interest in medical skills is no less than that of martial arts.
Therefore, in addition to reading and practicing martial arts every day, he also spent a lot of time studying medical books, which made Yu Quan quite pleased.
Although he is an adult, the characters used in his daily life before crossing are simplified.
I don't know a lot of traditional Chinese characters, and I struggle to read some books.
And he can hardly write with a brush, and his writing is the same as graffiti, so it is still necessary to go to a private school to study.
Every day, he and Huo Yuanjia next door went to a private school a mile away, and learned noon in the private school, that is, from seven to eleven o'clock.
The private school is not large, and the schoolchildren in it are all from rich families in the neighborhood, with more than 20 people in total.
Mr. Teaching's surname is Tang, and he is the one who was raised in the twenty-fourth year of Daoguang. Due to the unsatisfactory officialdom, he simply resigned and returned to Jinmen to open a private school. It has been nearly 30 years, and the old gentleman is also approaching the age of six.
Although Yu Ke studied very seriously in the school, he was very dissatisfied with his poor handwriting.
Although I have made a lot of progress in the past month, I have occasionally made mistakes and omissions in my studies, I answered incorrectly when I was asked in class, and I ate two meals of fried pork on bamboo boards.
Although Mr. Tang is strict, he is very rigorous and responsible in his academic attitude, and he is not a corrupt and sour Confucian.
Yu Ke respected and admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Since Yu Ke worshipped Huo Endi as his teacher, Huo Yuanjia has always pestered him, hoping that Yu Ke would teach him to practice martial arts.
Yu Ke didn't agree, but when he was practicing martial arts in the afternoon, he asked Master Huo Endi sideways why he didn't let Huo Yuanjia practice martial arts.
It turned out that there were two reasons why Huo Yuanjia was not allowed to practice martial arts.
As a result, Huo Yuanjia was born with asthma, and he was not suitable for practicing the breathing method, and the slightest mistake or omission would aggravate the disease.
Second, Huo Endi hopes that Huo Yuanjia can study hard, and it is best to be admitted to be an official in the future, and get rid of the brave and ruthless martial artists.
The thinking of the ancients is like this, everything is inferior, only reading is high.
After all, no matter how good you practice martial arts, at most you can only be a general, and you don't have to look at the faces of those civil officials to do things.
This has been the case since the Song Dynasty, let alone the Qing Dynasty, where a foreign race was the emperor?
Knowing the reason, Yu Ke is not good at teaching Huo Yuanjia to practice martial arts, and he has not been practicing martial arts for a long time, how can he have the ability to teach Huo Yuanjia?
So he told Huo Yuanjia that as long as he read well, at least practiced his words well, and couldn't fall behind in his homework, Huo's father would teach him martial arts.
Huo Yuanjia drooped his head when he heard this, discouraged.
Let him study seriously, it's almost like asking him to die, where would he be willing?
So Huo Yuanjia still peeked at Huo Endi's martial arts practice in private, learned a move and a half, and practiced secretly in private.
Horndy actually knew it, but he couldn't help it.
The Huo family opened a martial arts hall, Huo Yuanjia is stubborn, unless he locks the house, how can he prevent his own son from stealing school?
For this reason, every time Horndi mentions this only son, he will express his concern about the future of his son Huo Yuanjia.
Yu Ke persuaded: "Since Yuan Jia is not a material for reading, and he is obsessed with martial arts, it is better to let him inherit the mantle of Master You." ”
"First, if you practice martial arts to strengthen your body, as long as you correct it carefully, you won't cause qi illness when you practice the breathing method."
"Second, now that the world is becoming more and more chaotic, if you practice martial arts, you will have the ability to protect yourself."
"Three to ......"
Horndy waved his hand and interrupted: "Alas, if Yuanjia is half as sensible as you, he will let him practice martial arts as a teacher." But he has a jumpy temperament, no calmness, and is always in a hurry to do things, so how can he practice martial arts well? ”
Yu Ke smiled and said, "Master, it's better to let Yuan Jia practice calligraphy with me every day." I told him that when you have practiced the characters, you will teach him to practice martial arts. ”
"The most taboo in practicing calligraphy is that the mind is not quiet, and it can cultivate calmness."
"As long as the words are practiced, it means that Yuan Jia can practice martial arts, how about it?"
Horndy looked thoughtful, and said after a while:
"That's fine. But I look at Yuan Jia's temperament, there are no two or three years to practice bad words, and it will be a little late to practice martial arts again. ”
Yu Ke smiled: "Master, although Yuan Jia is not determined enough, he can also be persevering. I think it won't take a few months to be able to practice the words, don't believe you wait and see. ”
