Volume 1 The Newborn Calf Chapter 22
The rooster crowed, and before dawn, Zhao Anping slowly got up and stretched his waist to relieve his fatigue.
Zhao Anping walked to Feng Xifang's front and pushed the door directly, for the two of them, knocking on the door seemed too redundant.
"Lao Feng, get up." Zhao Anping shouted.
Feng Xi did not respond.
Zhao Anping raised his voice and continued to shout: "Old Feng, wake up quickly, practice!" ”
Feng Xi still didn't react.
Zhao Anping: "You can't afford it anymore, I'll do it." ”
Feng Xiluo jumped out of bed and ran to wash without looking back. Zhao Anping laughed, as if he was used to Feng Xi's state, and he could sleep for a while.
Feng Xi was the first to climb to the top of the unreasonable peak, and Zhao Anping was still walking with difficulty in the middle of the road, just because the second master asked him to do this, he would try a new route up the mountain every few days, rain or shine.
Originally, Zhao Anping went to the top of the unreasonable peak by himself every day, and then played Tai Chi and practiced True Qi. After a period of time, Zhao Anping found that Feng Xi was getting lazier and lazier without him, almost not practicing much, and the gap between the two was getting bigger and bigger.
Now that Zhao Anping has entered the late stage of Qi entering the body, his true qi is about to ascend to the realm and enter the Qi Inner Circulation, but Feng Xi has not taken another step forward since he walked and entered the Qi entering body realm. Therefore, he now wakes up Feng Xi every day when he gets up, and Feng Xi is also happy, although it is difficult to get up, he has never complained, and since the first time, he has never refused, and it seems that he has been waiting for Zhao Anping to make such an arrangement. With Zhao Anping's company, Feng Xi didn't feel that practicing was a difficult thing.
Zhao Anping finally climbed to the top of the unreasonable peak, panting and leaning on the rock wall, and said, "Old Feng, or you will try a different route with me next time." ”
Feng Xi smiled evilly: "Xiao An'an, tell me honestly, are you scared alone, haha." ”
Zhao Anping smiled and ignored him, he was really not afraid, and he didn't know why, he was very excited to get up early every day to practice martial arts, and there was an irrepressible excitement, as if he would improve as long as he practiced.
"Lao Feng, let me tell you, as long as you insist on practicing like me every day, it will definitely not be a bad result. I know you have a dream of being a general, but without the support of force, you are at most a general on paper. Zhao Anping said.
Feng Xi was rarely serious, nodded and said: "Brother, I know what you mean, don't worry, I will try my best to make myself stronger, at least don't hold you back on the battlefield." ”
Zhao Anping smiled: "Come, Tai Chi starting style." ”
This punch is an hour, Zhao Anping has a different experience every time he plays Tai Chi, and he himself tries to bring the true qi mantra taught by Mr. to Tai Chi, even if Mr. says that he can't mess around. Again and again, the dantian is sunk again and again, and the luck is in the fists and feet, Zhao Anping can experience the feeling of softness and steel, but it is too vague and he can't grasp it for a while.
Feng Xi watched Zhao Anping try again and again, and tried several times himself, but finally chose to give up and sat down on the rock.
"Xiao An'an, when it's time, hurry down the mountain and go to Mr., otherwise Mr. will have to say that you have a new master and forget your master." Feng Xi reminded.
Zhao Anping: "The old rule, whoever arrives later, who pinched the other leg and beat the back." ”
As soon as Zhao Anping's words fell, Feng Xi had already fled several feet away.
"I don't see you so flexible when I usually ask you to do things." Zhao Anping shouted while running.
In Li Guangshu's small courtyard in the west of the city, Zhao Anping and Feng Xi were panting on the stone table, Li Guangshu looked at the two beloved disciples in front of him, and said with a smile: "What kind of bet can make Feng Xi fight even if he sweats?" ”
Feng Xi said aggrievedly: "Sir, what do you mean that you have to fight even if you sweat?" Am I so lazy in your eyes? ”
Zhao Anping: "That's all praising you." ”
Li Guangshu: "Zhao Anping is right. ”
The more Feng Xi thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was about to return the favor, when a sweet voice suddenly came to mind at the door: "I think Lao Feng is fine!" ”
Lin Feifei is here, she has often appeared in this small courtyard recently, as soon as she arrives, she will sweep it here, wipe it there, and cook lunch for a few people by the way. As long as Li Guangshu saw her, he was full of joy.
Feng Xi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Feifei's arm and said, "Feifei, you come to judge the theory, these two people always change their ways to bully me." ”
Lin Feifei smiled and said nothing, she knew that several people often joked.
In the courtyard, Zhao Anping and Feng Xi Taijiquan competed, Mr. Li lay on a rattan chair to watch the battle, and from time to time he mentioned a few words, while Lin Feifei was busy in the house.
Li Guangshu retracted his gaze and looked around the courtyard, he always felt that something was missing in the past two days, and he didn't think about it when he looked left and right. Zhao Anping and Feng Xi also noticed this, but because they had ghosts in their hearts, they didn't dare to look at Li Guangshu.
Feng Xi was also panicked in his heart, this gentleman was unhappy, so he would take Xiao An'an to practice his fists and feet, if he and Mr. were fighting, it was estimated that he would have to at least lose his skin. The more uncertain he became, the more uncontrollable his eyes were to glance at the place where the tarpaulin umbrella had been placed. This glance happened to be captured by Li Guangshu, and there was indeed something missing.
The old man has tuition to earn, but he gave it to the Dalang baked cake shop in front of the courtyard, and the baked cake and spicy tofu soup are his favorites, and any other items will not cost more money unless necessary.
Li Guangshu: "Feng Xi, where is my tarpaulin umbrella?" ”
Feng Xi: "Ah, sir, I didn't hear what you said. Feng Xi's small eyes rolled as he answered, and he thought about how to deal with it in his head, and there was only one way to think about it.
Li Guangshu asked again: "The big oilcloth umbrella!" ”
Feng Xi immediately turned to Zhao Anping, pointed at him and said, "Sir, he took it." ”
As soon as the words landed, Feng Xi had already run a long way, afraid that Xiao An'an would press him to the ground and rub him.
Zhao Anping saw that he couldn't hide, so he said: "Oh, that umbrella is at my house, sir, I'll bring it to you tomorrow." ”
Li Guangshu didn't think much about it, so he nodded slowly, for him, this oilcloth umbrella was a valuable item in his house.
"Bang bang", there was a knock on the door, Zhao Anping thought that Tang Ying had come to ask him to go to the grove outside the city for training, so he stepped forward to open the door. The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a square face was greeted in front of him, with a smile on his face, and a solemn meaning in his deep eyes that couldn't be suppressed and shot out.
The square-faced middle-aged man smiled and said in a strong voice: "Is there a young man named Zhao Anping here?" ”
Zhao Anping's face was full of suspicion: "I am, what are you looking for me?" ”
Feng Xi thought that the people from the Qinglong Gang had come to find trouble again, so he picked up the spear on the weapon rack and rushed over.
When Li Guangshu saw this person's unique face shape, he instantly remembered a certain name, and also got up and walked to the door.
The square-faced middle-aged man looked at the young man in front of him, and after taking a closer look, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't misunderstand Zhao Gongzi, do you remember this oilcloth umbrella?" ”
Zhao Anping looked incredulous, this umbrella belonged to Mr.'s family, and he remembered that it was raining that day, and he remembered that it was given to the two girls, how could a big man return the umbrella.
Zhao Anping was puzzled: "Why is this umbrella here for you?" ”
Feng Xi also interjected and said, "Didn't this umbrella be given to those two girls?" Why are you here? ”
The guard behind the square-faced middle-aged man stepped forward and scolded: "Presumptuous, how can you talk to the adults of my family!" ”
Seeing this posture, Feng Xi didn't think too much about it, and directly picked up his spear and slashed it at the unreasonable guard. Zhao Anping's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the spear that was about to fall. When the guard saw this, he put his sword into its sheath.
The middle-aged man hurriedly smiled and said, "The two of you misunderstood, the little girl asked me to return your tarpaulin umbrella, and by the way, I would like to express my gratitude." As he spoke, his guards had already delivered a small bag of broken silver.
Zhao Anping understood, but he didn't reach out to pick it up, and said with a smile: "It's just a gesture, you're welcome." ”
The square-faced middle-aged man took the broken silver in the guard's hand and stuffed it into Zhao Anping's hand, and Zhao Anping pushed it back with a Taiji cloud hand. The middle-aged man was startled at first, and then he observed Li Guangshu behind Zhao Anping, and he knew it in his heart.
The guard couldn't look past it and said, "Is this how you treat people?" ”
Feng Xi also choked, "What, the master didn't speak, what are you screaming?" ”
Zhao Anping pulled Feng Xi, turned his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my brother must have thought it was someone from the Qinglong Gang, I don't mean anything else, please come in." With that, he moved out of the way.
Li Guangshu said at the right time: "The grass people have seen Master Wen. ”
The person who came was Wen Danian, the secretary of the military department, and his face was square, so he was also called the four-sided Shangshu.
Wen Danian smiled and clenched his fists in return: "It's been a long time." ”
Several people sat down around the stone table, no one squeaked, each with their own thoughts, and they were very embarrassed.
Zhao Anping found a topic and said, "Sir, listen to the two of you, you knew each other before?" ”
Li Guangshu said: "Speaking of which, I actually know Lord Wen, and as for Lord Wen, I should be unfamiliar with me. ”
Wen Danian smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li said that he laughed, what kind of scenery was the martial arts people back then." Now he is willing to live in the market, set up a private school, and teach and educate people, which is really righteous, and Wen sincerely admires it. ”
Zhao Anping said again: "Lord Wen, forgive Xiaomin for being rude, I want to know how you know that I am here?" ”
Without waiting for Wen Danian to answer, the guard behind him said, "The military department wants to check on someone, do you think it's difficult?" ”
"Presumptuous, do you have a part in talking here?" Wen Danian turned his head and scolded angrily at the guard.
Zhao Anping: "Please also ask Lord Wen not to send someone to follow Xiaomin in the future, I don't steal, I don't rob, I don't kill people, I don't set fire, being followed for no reason will make Xiaomin nervous, and it's not good to do anything out of the ordinary when I'm nervous." ”
It was a naked threat, but Zhao Anping said these words after careful consideration, and he didn't want to live under the watchful eye of others all the time.
Wen Danian's face was slightly ugly, but he quickly recovered. According to the past, Li Guangshu had already spoken out to stop Zhao Anping, but this time he was surprisingly quiet, and even had a slight smile on his face, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
Wen Danian: "How do you know that I sent someone to follow you?" ”
Zhao Anping: "Since the day before yesterday, that person followed me to Wuli Peak in the morning, I practiced Tai Chi and practiced True Qi, he was lying on his stomach in the bushes, he followed me when I went down the mountain, he followed him when I came to the private school, he followed him when I returned to Yangchun Building, and finally I guess I waited until we all fell asleep before leaving, right?" ”
Wen Danian was very surprised, because it was related to his daughter, so he was a scout from the army, and when this was discovered, he began to look at the young man in front of him with some admiration.
The cloud hand that had just pushed Xie Yin, and the aura revealed between Zhao Anping's eyebrows, made Wen Danian have a heart to cherish his talents.
Wen Danian: "At a young age, it is not easy to have such courage, don't worry, I will let them withdraw, please understand a father's heart." ”
Zhao An nodded expressionlessly.
