Chapter 7: Heading South
Yu Ke knocked on the door of the Huo family, and after a while, he saw an old servant open the door.
The old servant was a little surprised when he saw that it was Yu Ke: "Young Master Ke? ”
Yu Ke said: "Uncle Xingwang, I want to see Master." It's important that my grandfather asked me to tell me about it. ”
The old servant led Yu Ke to the backyard, and at this time, Horndy was practicing boxing alone in the yard, and Yu Ke did not make a sound to disturb.
Heavy snow fell in the courtyard, and the eaves, stone benches, and stone tables were covered with a layer of silver makeup.
Horndy's blood surged like a tidal wave, and there seemed to be an invisible fire net within an inch of his body.
As soon as the snowflake approached, it quietly melted into nothingness.
Yu Ke has seen this set of boxing techniques that Huo Endi is practicing many times, and the apprentices in the martial arts training ground in the front hall are all practicing, it is Huo Jiaquan.
Horndy was never afraid of others learning boxing.
Learning martial arts is not achieved overnight, real martial arts is not a charlatan, and there is no such thing as teaching apprentices to starve their masters.
What's more, practicing Huo Jiaquan requires a matching tuna method.
Without the cooperation of the Breathing Method, practicing Huojiaquan 10,000 times is only equivalent to practicing aerobics. It only has the effect of exercising, and it can't be famous.
After half a burnt incense, Horndy slowly collected his recruitment and calmed down his qi and blood.
Horndy looked at Yu Ke with a somewhat stern expression:
"Kezhi, didn't you let you stay at home and practice by yourself these days?"
It's too chaotic out there these days, and refugees come in and out.
The city was full of beggars, the outside of the city was full of dead people, and the wild dogs in the mass graves were fat.
I heard that there are also White Lotus followers preaching around.
Horn let Yu Ke practice boxing at home these days, also for the sake of Yu Ke's safety.
And Yu Ke's boy skills have already been practiced a little hot, and there is nothing wrong or missing.
Now it's just a water mill, and he doesn't need to be on the sidelines.
After practicing for a year or two, when the vitality is abundant and the bones of the body are opened, you can further practice more 'fierce' boxing.
Yu Ke arched his hand: "Master, my grandfather asked me to come, I have something to tell you." ”
"Grandpa just came back from the clinic, and found that someone in Swill Lane was sick with fever, and I heard that it had spread......"
Horndi's face changed suddenly when he heard this: "Warm disease, is Yu Lao sure?" ”
He hurriedly said, "I mean, what kind of fever is it?" ”
Yu Ke replied: "It's the wind temperature!" Grandpa said the disease was highly contagious and difficult to cure. ”
Horndy looked solemn and sighed: "Okay, I know, you can go back quickly." ”
Yu Ke hesitated for a while, and then said, "My grandfather said that he would take me south in a few days to find my second grandfather." I will return to Jinmen in a year or two. ”
Horndy said: "Well, I know, you can go with Yu Lao." When you go to the south, you can't waste your fists and feet without me! When you come back, I'll teach you Huo Jiaquan. ”
"Yes, master, I see."
Yu Ke bowed and said goodbye, but he didn't go home directly, but went to find Huo Yuanjia and told him a few words.
After two days, the Yu family packed up all the salutes and prepared to leave.
Yu Ke came to say goodbye to his master Huo Endi and Huo Yuanjia, and then followed Yu Quan, hired a two-story boat from the second pier, and the family went south by boat and left Jinmen.
Yu Quan hired a few dart masters from the dart bureau, and also brought all the servants in the house, a total of fourteen people.
There was only an old servant with bad legs and feet who was reluctant to leave Jinmen to take care of the house.
The Yu family walked up and down for nearly half a month, and the wind temperature finally broke out.
At least 30 percent of the millions of people in Tianjin Province were infected with the disease, and it spread rapidly, and other nearby provinces followed suit.
The lid finally couldn't be covered.
It wasn't until a letter from the Military Aircraft Department appeared in front of him that Dai Dazhou, the prefect of Tianjin, understood the seriousness of the matter and sent someone to invite Yu Quan, a miracle doctor who was well-known in Tianjin.
I want to talk to him about how to deal with the wind temperature.
However, the Yu Mansion had already gone to the empty building, and the official sent to invite people was empty.
Beiping is not far from Tianjin, and it is impossible to hide where the wind temperature comes from.
If the state of Daeda can report it in time, although the matter will implicate him, the most he will be demoted.
It's a pity that you can still live if you do evil in heaven, but you can't live if you do evil in yourself.
Because he sat back and ignored the plague, he did not report it.
Daeda was soon dismissed from his official position and imprisoned.
The sea breeze is gusting, and the sails are hunting.
Yu Ke leaned on the armrest and asked:
"Grandpa, where are we going?"
"Go to Foshan, Guangdong, your second grandfather's house."
Second grandfather?
Yu Ke had a face in his mind that was eight points similar to his grandfather Yu Quan.
Yu Quan said: "Don't remember? The second grandfather only came to see you last year and gave you a longevity lock, the one around your neck. ”
"I remember." Yu Ke smiled, "At that time, I also recognized the second grandfather as you." ”
"Is the second grandfather also a doctor?"
Yu Quan shook his head: "Your second grandfather has been stubborn since he was a child, he didn't read the book, and he refused to learn the family medical skills, and he wandered until he was thirty years old before your grandfather arranged a business of purchasing medicinal materials." ”
"I didn't expect your second grandfather to have a bit of a business mind, the medicinal materials business is getting bigger and bigger, and the medicinal materials in our family clinic are also provided by your second grandfather."
Yu Quan said and smiled: "This time I went to Foshan, I must get some old treasure medicine from the second child!" ”
From the port of Tianjin, along the coastline to Macao, there are nearly 10,000 miles away, even if it is a day and night boat ride, it will take more than a month.
After arriving in Macao, they had to take a horse-drawn carriage to take the official road, which was nearly 300 miles, and it took two or three days.
There were many pirates in these years, and the sea was not safe.
Therefore, Yu Quan took the path of the Green Gang and went south with a group of merchant ships, with more than 20 ships, large and small, and ordinary pirates did not dare to provoke them.
More than a month later, the group finally arrived in Foshan.
"Here we are."
The carriage stopped in front of a mansion with the words 'Yufu' written on the plaque.
Zhongbo stepped forward and knocked on the door.
A servant opened the door, apparently knowing Zhongbo, and exclaimed.
After chatting with Uncle Zhong, he hurriedly welcomed Yu Quan and his party into the door, and another servant entered the inner hall to report.
After a while, an old man with white hair but a ruddy face walked out quickly, followed by several people, old and young.
The old man was wearing a black Confucian shirt, a melon skin hat, and his steps were calm and powerful, and it was Yu Ke's second grandfather, Yu Chi.
Compared with Yu Quan, Yu Yu has many more descendants.
He continued to have a wife and two concubines. He had three sons-in-law, and each of them gave birth to a daughter.
He had two daughters and three sons.
The two daughters have already married and had children, and the eldest of the three sons is nearly forty years old, and the youngest is twenty-seven or eighteen.
His three sons are helping him take care of his medicine shop, and the relationship is harmonious.
This second grandfather not only makes money in a good way, but also has good means of governing the family.
"Big brother!"
As soon as the two brothers met, they immediately hugged each other.
After a period of greetings, the second grandfather asked, "Big brother, why did you suddenly come from Jinmen?" I don't say hello in advance. ”
"Ugh." Yu Quan sighed and briefly explained the cause and effect.
