Chapter 5 Apprenticeship begins with apprenticeship
Sasaki yelled and pounced, and when Sasaki pounced, I pulled out his palms with my left hand and took a diagonal step to the right front.
Sasaki pounced, twisted the tiger's body, and grabbed it again. I walked around and came up behind Sasaki and slapped him in the back.
Sasaki didn't look behind either, he flirted with his leg and kicked it back, and I grabbed the foot and switched sideways to Sasaki's right side.
Sasaki turned, bent his left elbow, and elbowed me in the foreheart, if he hit the heart, I was afraid that I would lose half my life.
I spun around to the right, pressed against his arm, and pushed Sasaki's left shoulder, Sasaki couldn't hold back, and I pushed him, and he turned around, his face a little embarrassed.
Sasaki's attacks were all dissipated by me calmly with mud steps, I followed the Bagua palm swimming tips, twisting, spinning, turning, turning, and changing the momentum without half a minute of delay, which is exactly the key to walking like a dragon in the Bagua palm method, moving like a monkey, changing momentum like an eagle, walking like a mud, arm like twisting a rope, turning like a grinding.
Sasaki missed three blows, and he suddenly roared, furious, and pounced on me with his teeth and claws, but no matter how he pounced, he never touched the corner of my clothes.
In the blink of an eye, halfway through the time, the range I stepped on, let alone the entire dance floor, I am afraid that the range of three or five tables was not even enough.
Pi You didn't know any boxing techniques and routines, but at the moment, he smiled at the moment, slapped his face on the side, and said again and again that it was fun, "Worm, you are good at this game, teach me in the future." ”
If Master Dong and my father knew that I would use the martial arts mastery they taught to make games, I am afraid that my beard would be so angry that I would have curled up.
Sasaki roared again and again, he didn't ask for any rules and moves, but just blindly grabbed and beaten, like a tiger trapped in a cage, and everyone was forced by his momentum to retreat.
As time went on, I became more and more proficient in my movements, and I could even slap Sasaki's head, back, and even buttocks.
That Sasaki's fists and feet are like the wind, but he can't catch me, a brute force is impossible to release, and he screams in a straight way, this situation is like a lion who dominates the grassland, has hunted countless herbivores, even hyenas and cheetahs have retreated, but a buzzing insect flew in front of him, flickering forward and backward, flickering left and right, the lion opened his teeth and danced his claws, but grabbed his head and broke the blood, but he was helpless against the bug, and at this moment I am the bug.
Until Piyu yelled, "It's time." Everyone cheered, and a flood of applause flooded the bar.
Sasaki stopped his steps, his face was as dead as ashes, and he stood there dumbfounded, motionless.
Pi You was overjoyed, "Xiaobu, go check out!" ”
Xiaobu scolded Sasaki with hatred on his face: "Waste." Then he ran to the bar, hurriedly settled the bill, and walked away without looking back, leaving Sasaki standing alone.
As Piyu and I were about to leave the bar, a man who looked like an officer walked over and said, "Billy, you've changed your face today, I almost don't recognize you." He spoke in pure English.
Billy is my English name, which few people know. I looked at the people and shouted, "Mr. Wood."
Mr. Wood is an Australian officer, and Nemo and I met him in the moor the other day, and it seems that he also likes to hunt in the moor, but we met again today at the bar.
I remember that day Nemo and I were about to go home, and he came running on horseback and complained to us that we didn't see the herd, and Nemo and I both laughed.
Because, in this wasteland, I'm afraid only Nemo and I know where those beasts are infested.
Wood brought us the biscuits he had brought with him, and asked us where the beasts were, and Nemo and I saw that it was still early, and Wood was so accommodating, that we agreed to take him to the herd, and we climbed a few hills and found a herd of wild boars.
The wild boar herd was gnawing there, unaware that Wood's and I's shotguns had locked onto a piglet that had broken away.
After two shots, the piglet fell to the ground and twitched continuously.
Alarmed by the sound of gunfire, the wild boars fled for their lives, leaving a cloud of smoke and dust billowing away.
Nemo cheered and ran first.
Wood and I also took our guns and ran over, and Wood looked at the piglet that had fallen to the ground, and said with a smile, "Little brother, I hit me in the head, and your bullet missed, but it only cut off the tail of this wild boar." ”
Nemo pouted: "Mr. Wood, Brother Bug's mother doesn't let him kill more, he only kills one beast a day." With that, he took a pheasant out of his skin and showed it to Wood.
Wood nodded, "Oh, there are so many birds and beasts in this wasteland that lack arms and tails. He looked at me meaningfully.
Nemo and I both laughed.
The birds and beasts of the moor tasted good, and Wood, with all kinds of condiments, warmly invited us to have a picnic. Nemo and I smiled and agreed.
Nemo was in charge of peeling and plucking the hair, and the black boy used a knife with great dexterity, dancing up and down with a cold light, and a wild boar was quickly peeled and washed by him, and as soon as he stretched out his palm, the knife was sent there, and in a moment, the wild boar collapsed like a building block.
My father had also seen Nemo's amazing knife skills and was amazed, and said that he was like what people often call herpes, although Nemo and I didn't know who Blisterine was, but I thought it must be an appreciation for Nemo.
Then it was time for me to play, I rolled up my sleeves, selected the different parts of the meat that Nemo had slaughtered, and then marinated it with condiments for a while, and then set up a fire to grill it, some of which were skewered with bamboo skewers, some wrapped in lotus leaves, and some large pieces of animal meat could be placed directly on the fire, and in the meantime sprinkled with all kinds of condiments brought by Wood.
It's just that some of the condiments brought by Mr. Wood I don't know much about yet, and I need to smell and taste them in advance before I can use them, otherwise it will affect the taste.
After the wild boar was roasted, Wood feasted on it, saying that I was much better than the chefs in Michelin magazine.
So, Mr. Wood, who had eaten the sweets, agreed with us to go hunting together in a few days.
Nemo smiled and said, "Mr. Wood, you're not here to hunt, I'm afraid you're here to eat Brother Bug's barbecue, right?" ”
Wood nodded heavily: "Birds and beasts must be beaten, and roast meat must be eaten." ”
I'm so happy to see Wood in this bar today.
Mr. Wood patted me on the shoulder, "Little brother, you look much more energetic than before, the performance just now is very exciting, I didn't expect you to do this kind of kung fu, I want to learn from a teacher after watching it." ”
Piyu blinked at Wood, "You're a good friend of the bugs?" ”
I then remembered to introduce Pieu and Wood to each other, and I told Wood that Pieu was my new best friend, and Wood took off his hat to greet Pieu very gentlemanly.
Wood asked, "Billy, since you're in Brydon, you must come to my house as a guest." How about we go hunting together tomorrow? To be honest, after eating your barbecue last time, I don't feel like anything I eat now. ”
After saying that, he looked at me and waited for my reply. I also wanted to go with Wood, so I said to Pieu, "I will be a guest at Mr. Wood's house, and I will look for you later." All right? ”
Piyu nodded, seemingly more interested in the hunt that Wood and I had agreed on, "You must call me when you go hunting." ”
"Of course," Wu said, "if you will." ”
After saying that, Wood grabbed my shoulder and was about to leave, when Sasaki suddenly shouted, "Wait! ”
I stopped and looked at Sasaki, "What?" Want to fight again? ”
I saw Sasaki fall to his knees, "Master, please take me as an apprentice!" After saying that, he bowed down.
Sasaki's expression was extremely sincere, "Master, the disciple sincerely worships the teacher, and please also include the door wall." ”
I shook my head, "Get up, I won't take you as an apprentice." ”
There was a light in Pi You's eyes and he pushed me, "Worm, it's fun to take in such an apprentice." Why don't you take it? ”
I knew that if my father knew that I had taken on a Japanese apprentice, he would break my legs, and when the time came, don't teach me to walk in the mud or something, I was afraid that it would be difficult to climb the mud steps.
Of course, I couldn't tell Piyu that I was worried that my father would not agree, so I said impatiently: "If you don't accept it, you won't accept it, how can there be so many whys!" ”
Sasaki was rejected by me in public, with disappointment and frustration written all over his face.
At this time, Piyou's heart melted, and she pushed me: "Worm, you see how pitiful he is, you can accept him." ”
Still shaking my head, Piyu said angrily, "Bug, I found out that you are a stingy ghost. ”
He turned to Sasaki and said, "I'm the wife of the worm, you don't have to worship him as a master, worship me as a master first!" Isn't it the same to worship me as worshipping him! ”
Hearing Pi You's brain-opening answer, I had a black line on my face, can I still play like this about apprenticeship?
Sasaki was very excited and bowed to Piyu, "Master! ”
Piyu laughed, "It's good." ”
As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his casual bag, and said in a decent manner: "The first time we met, my sister didn't prepare any gifts, you can spend this money!" ”
I was very angry, "When you checked out just now, why did you say that you didn't have any money!" ”
Piyu's voice was louder than mine, "Why are you using my money to pick up girls?" ”
I suddenly lost my confidence.
Sasaki came over with a hippie smile and said to me, "Master......"
"Stop, I can't confiscate you as an apprentice, you worshipped the master just now, and I am not a couple of people with your master."
"Do you want to take it or not?" Piyou was indignant.
"No." I said, stiffening my neck.
"I really don't accept it."
"Whoever takes it is a grandson!"
Pi You scolded: "Hypocrisy", turned to Sasaki and said, "Ignore him, come with me, my mother will find you a better master." After saying that, he turned around and left, Sasaki was confused, and followed Piyu out of the bar in a daze.
Wood smiled as he watched Piyu walk away, "This is your little girlfriend." ”
I scratched my head, a little embarrassed, "Not yet." ”
Mr. Wood quipped, "It seems that it will be in the future." ”
Wood took me back to his home.
Wood's home is a villa, the villa is very old, it is estimated that it has been through the wind and rain for more than 50 years, and Wood told me that he usually lives here alone.
"Don't you have any family?"
Wood sighed, "My wife died, and my daughter moved out because she blamed me for not being a good husband because of her death, and only came back occasionally to get something. After speaking, his face was full of self-blame.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wood, for reminding you of your sadness." Wood shook his head, "It's all over. Then he motioned for me to be casual.
Firearms were Wood's hobby, and he had a large collection of them, and he took me into his room where he stored them.
I've never seen so many guns, and every single one of them is lovely, pistols, rifles, etc.
Wood was in high spirits and enthusiastically introduced me to the capabilities of the various firearms, and I felt that I had gained a lot more knowledge of firearms.
Wood pulled open a drawer, took a box from it, and handed it to me.
"The first time you came to my house, I'll give you some gifts."
When I opened the heavy box, I found that it was actually 50 bullets, and I wanted to accept them, after all, I came to the city for the bullets, but in the end I refused.
My father taught me that "nothing is worthless".
Woodra crossed the chair, pulled me to sit down, looked at me with admiration on his face, and I knew that Wood's point was coming.
"Billy, have you ever thought about joining the army? With your shooting talents, being a ghost shooter in my army is more than competent. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Wood, for your kindness, I don't want to go to the army to fight, Anne won't agree, my father often says that my parents are here, don't travel far, I don't know what it means, I guess I don't want to go too far."
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, if you can go to the battlefield, your talent will make you a ghost on the battlefield, you will receive many honors, and at the same time you will bring you a lot of income. In today's world, no one is at a loss for money. ”
"Mr. Wood, my father lived in ancient China, he advocated contentment, and his father ran a vegetable garden, which has allowed our family to have enough food and clothing."
"Now the country needs excellent soldiers, as a young person, you need to have the consciousness of defending the country, there is a saying in China is not called 'loyal to the country'."
I was a little amused, "Mr. Wood, Australia is still a wild land in the middle of nowhere, so I don't need the right army, right?"
"Australia is a federation of the British Empire, so naturally it has to help the British Empire fight the war. Although you are Chinese, you are also Australian, should you fight for Australia? ”
"I love my family, but I have no feelings for the country, and my father was loyal to the country, but in the end he ended up in a foreign country. However, China has a leader named Sun Xing, who advocated nationality, civil rights and people's livelihood, and called on every Chinese to overthrow the emperor through armed struggle. My father always wanted to sell his property and return to his homeland, so if I said that I would fight for my country, I would also fight for China, not Australia. ”
Wood looked helpless, "Every Chinese I have met is like this, and the mention of China is like chicken blood." When I was a teenager, I went on a study tour to the United States, and by chance I met Mr. Mark Twain, where I saw a group of children in satin robes and long pigtails, and I thought they were dressed very strangely. ”
"You said that you dressed like this, and I remember my father before he came to Australia. They are certainly Chinese. ”
Wood nodded in agreement, "At that time, the teacher told me that they were elementary school students from China. These peers behaved very decently, and actually discussed literary masterpieces with Mr. Mark Twain, and talked eloquently and wittily. ”
"Mr. Twain listened, sometimes smiling, sometimes slapping his hands in encouragement."
"When we were playing together in the courtyard, I once asked a classmate surnamed Zhan, China is very backward now, are you coming to live in the United States, guess what that kid said?"
I shook my head, "I can't guess, but I'm sure this kid won't live in the United States." ”
Wood looked at me stunned: "Shen, although you are of mixed Chinese and British descent, you are more like a Chinese in your bones, and the thinking of Chinese is really incomprehensible." Indeed, the kid surnamed Zhan shook his head and told me that he was not looking for a way for himself, but for China. ”
"I was very puzzled after listening to it, you know that Australia was not a country at that time, although I grew up in Australia, my father considered himself British. China was defeated in the Opium War, and all the British were excited, and to this day, the Chinese government is powerless to protect its own people. ”
"I really can't understand why a country that can't even protect your own people can make you so nostalgic. Hopefully one day you can give me the answer. ”
I nodded, "I also hope to visit China one day, because I grew up in Australia and had the same doubts." ”
Wood sighed and expressed regret, "Shen, as a friend, I still want to tell you that now is the era of hot weapons, and the time when cold soldiers meet has passed, just like today's Japanese named Sasaki If he is armed with a gun, no matter how good his martial arts are, he can't dodge it." ”
I nodded, agreeing with Wood's words. My father has also said more than once that the technique of striking is only used to knock down the opponent when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, and if the opponent kills the enemy 100 meters away with a hot weapon, why not do it.
Suddenly the phone rang, and Wood picked it up, and heard the voice actually call, "Hello, Mr. Governor," and then listened with a solemn face, and finally said, "Soon." ”
After hanging up the phone, Wood said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Shen, I received a notice from my superiors that I need to attend a meeting immediately, and this is the case with soldiers, even if you are peeing, you need to lift your pants immediately to perform the task." You're going to sleep at my house today. Tomorrow if there is nothing to do, we will go hunting together. ”
Wood hurried away.
I was the only one in the villa, and it suddenly felt empty.
I didn't know when Wood would be back, and I was a little bored and was going to wash up and go to bed, so I took off my clothes one by one, hung them on the wall opposite the bathroom, and pushed open the bathroom door.
I filled the bathtub with water, and lay comfortably in the bathtub, which was much warmer than the stream of the moor, and the key was that there was soap to use, and in a short time a thick layer of soap bubbles floated throughout the bathtub.
At this moment the sound of the door opening came, and I thought it was Mr. Wood who had returned, but soon realized that something was wrong, because I heard the sound of high heels on the floor.
I recall that Mr. Wood had said that she had a daughter. It's not his daughter back, it's not a good thing.
My clothes were still hanging on the wall outside the bathroom door, and if I went out with my bare ass, I couldn't explain how many mouths she had, so it was better for her to go into the room and sleep without me knowing.
