Chapter 50: On the Word

After three days, I was able to walk on the ground, even though I was still shaking a little when I stood on the ground.

I asked Luna how she got out of the Governor's Palace, Luna shook her head, and she told me that I was taken to the hospital by the Governor's guards, and the guards paid for my medical expenses, but unfortunately Lou didn't get to see the guards, so I couldn't figure out who ordered them. Upon seeing me, she immediately asked Wood to find a way to inform my father and Anne.

I was full of doubts, these guards were not so kind, and they did not dare, and it was only when the governor promised them that they dared to send me here. Could it be Carl? That day, when he saw me in the cage, he was speechless in surprise.

He would have pleaded with the Governor, who had sent me for the sake of his face and fearing for his life.

But would the Governor, who sees me as an animal, really be so kind? I'm a little skeptical.

I decided to leave the hospital, Luna strongly disagreed, she said that my injuries were not completely healed, I smiled and said that I could go home and continue to recuperate.

For a few days, Luna took good care of me, and I also saw that her eyes had dark circles, and I couldn't bear it. Then there is the fact that the medical expenses of the hospital are really expensive, and I know that my family does not have that much money. Now that my body is fine, I can recuperate wherever I want.

Eventually, Luna couldn't resist me and went through the procedures for me to be discharged from the hospital, but when she was discharged, she bought me a large bag of nutritional supplements.

Tomoko also came to the hospital here, and I quickly asked her where Piyu had gone.

Tomoko shook his head, "After you were captured by the governor, Pi You ran to the Governor's Mansion to ask for someone, but unfortunately you couldn't even enter the door, Pi You was in tears, I had to take her back to the martial arts hall to live temporarily, but the next day, she ran out alone, and I never saw her again." ”

I wondered, "Where did Piyu go?" ”

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't have an eyebrow.

My father and Nemo came to the hospital, and together they pulled me home.

At home, I saw Uncle Du Xinwu again, and his gunshot wound was almost healed, and I was very happy to see him, because I always wanted to ask him for some kung fu advice. This is also what my father meant, he told me that Du Xinwu's kung fu is far stronger than him.

Du Xinwu had long known that I was hospitalized, but he was still surprised to see me like this, and after asking the reason, he ran out with a basket on his back, and did not come back until the evening, the basket was full of flowers and plants, and he told me that these were herbs that could cure my injuries.

Although Anne is also a doctor, her medical skills are not very good, and she does not know Chinese medicine.

Du Xinwu found a clay pot and mashed these Chinese herbs one by one, some of them were applied externally, and some were boiled into soup for me to drink. I picked up the bowl, but before I drank it, I felt pungent, and when I entered the Chinese herbal soup, it was even more bitter that I could hardly swallow.

"Uncle Du, are you a Chinese medicine or a poison?"

"Haha, Chinese medicine is a magical science, it collects the essence of all things, boils it into a decoction, cures diseases, strengthens the body without diseases, although it is difficult to drink, but the medicine is bitter, you pinch your nose and drink it!"

"Do you drink this bitter water regularly?"

"Your Uncle Du, I was an addict when I was a teenager, and my body almost collapsed after recovering from drugs, and then my teacher Yu Lao Dao went up the mountain to collect herbs for me to regulate my body, and after a few days, my body was magically much stronger."

After speaking, Du Xinwu stretched out his arm, "Look at it." ”

I pinched his arm and was taken aback, it could be described as hard as iron.

"Man is like a tree, the body is the root, the spirit is the branches and leaves, so no matter what you do, the first thing is to be physically strong, not to mention that you go hunting in the wasteland all day long, and you need to make your body great, so that you can slaughter bears and tigers."

"Uncle Dub, there are no bears and tigers in Australia."

Du Xinwu laughed, "Will you stay in Australia for the rest of your life?" ”

Du Xinwu's words made me stunned, because my father had told me that he wanted to return to Middle-earth, but in my opinion, it was a very distant thing, but today's Du Xinwu's words made me feel that the time for me to leave Australia seemed to be getting closer and closer.

Do you really want to go back to China? Although I was born there, I was still young at the time, and I had no impression at all, and all my impressions about China were based on my father's daily stories, should I really go back to China?

Du Xinwu patted me on the shoulder, "I know you don't have an impression of China, but that is our motherland, if it is said that your mother gave you the body, please remember that it is the motherland that gave you the soul." I've heard about you, why would you rather die than give in? ”

"I just feel humiliated?"

"Well, Shi can be killed but not humiliated, this is a kind of character of the descendants of Yan and Huang. I've also been to war, those white people face a strong enemy, they take surrender for granted, but the Chinese are not like that, those benevolent people in China, like you, would rather lose their lives than lose their dignity. But do you know what the greatest dignity of being a Chinese person is? That is a strong and independent motherland, without the prosperity of the motherland, we will not be looked down upon wherever we go. ”

I thought of myself being locked in a cage in the garden of the Governor's Palace, and being laughed at wantonly by those well-dressed high-ranking ladies and wives, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of anger in my heart.

Yes, why do Chinese have no dignity wherever they go? So much so that for the sake of that little bit of dignity, I and the Qing official surnamed Ye also chose to fight to the death.

Is there really original sin in the Chinese? I don't know, this question, maybe I can only find the answer when I go back to China.

In the evening, I ate another bowl of Chinese herbs, I was covered in stinky sweat, and the next day I woke up with a special clarity.

At this time, Du Xinwu walked into the house, took out a thread-bound book, and said to me: "This is a medical book by my teacher Yu Laodao, which is not very precious, but it is his old man's experience in treating diseases and healing for many years, you can take it out, study it carefully yourself, if you don't understand, you can ask your father." I greatly admire his knowledge. ”

I took the medical book and saw that the pages were yellowed, but not damaged, and it was densely covered with words, all of which were prescriptions, and there were many herbs in these prescriptions, some of which I didn't even know the names of, but fortunately, most of the herbs were drawn, and I could recognize which plant the herb came from.

I was overjoyed, I knew a little about the effects of herbs in the wild, which my father had told me, and now that I had this medical book, I had added a layer of insurance when hunting in the wilderness.

Du Xinwu took me to the courtyard, "Come, let me see how you are learning Baguazhang?" ”

I knew that Uncle Du was going to give me some instructions, so he slapped the Bagua on the slap, but when I turned the palm, because the injury on my head had not yet healed, it really made me dizzy.

Du Xinwu looked at it, "Your mud steps are good, the next plate is very stable, and the moves are also very smooth, but many moves are just good-looking and fancy." ”

My face flushed, "My father taught me seriously, but I was lazy and didn't study hard." ”

Du Xinwu shook his head with a smile, "No, it's your father who taught him too well." He strictly requires you to excel in every move, and that seems to be right. If you put your kung fu on stage, you will definitely win a full house, but what is the fundamental purpose of the art of martial arts? The root of technical attack is to kill the opponent, the opposite is a living person or beast, you don't know which move the opponent is going to make, how can you calmly use the already moves to fight? ”

"Uncle Du, you're making me improvise."

"Well, that's right, you're very perceptive, and the essence of the technique is a strain, naturally. You have to quickly choose the right attack method according to your opponent and the surrounding environment. I've heard that you beat a Japanese man in a bar with a mud walk and took him as an apprentice. ”

I smiled, "That guy's name is Sasaki, and he's a martial arts idiot. ”

"Sasaki is just a small character, the kung fu is shallow and rough, you can use the mud step to trick him, if you meet a master, where can you calmly walk the mud step? I'm afraid that one move has already taken your life, how can you take your life as a child's play. ”

A cold sweat broke out on my forehead, "Uncle Du, what you taught me is." ”

"Don't trust it, this is one thing, and the other is not leaving room for it. When you have to fight for your life, you leave a little leeway, and the situation may be reversed. We had already taken them down when we were fighting the five falcons on the top of the mountain that day, but what could we do, one of them could have taken out his gun and wounded me. If you want to show mercy, you have to knock the other person down first, and don't threaten you. ”

Du Xinwu seemed to be afraid, he didn't have the slightest fear when he fought the five falcons alone, but when facing the hot weapon, he couldn't do anything. The same was true of me, and on the first hunt, before the coyote was dead, he ran to collect the prey, and almost lost his life.

I agree with what Uncle Du said.

"Hey, in fact, the Chinese pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and the natural gate where I am also has the three natures of "wisdom, benevolence, and courage", and the four virtues of "faith, righteousness, chivalry, and bravery", and the people in the martial arts also advocate mercy among their subordinates, but they can tolerate and tolerate people, you must know that these are not absolute, and they must also be flexible. When I was a teenager, I read Twenty-Four Filial Piety, and I buried my son and lay on the ice, and I was confused, which fisherman would melt the ice and snow with his body when he fished on the ice, and which hunter buried his son because he had no food? These things are very ignorant, you don't want to learn them. Your father said that you don't act according to common sense, and it is a headache, but I like it, isn't it good to be natural and do things casually?

My father did say that he would talk about things like lying on the ice and begging for carp, but I discussed with him for a long time that it was ridiculous to catch carp by lying on the ice, and that a four-year-old would not do that. My father was furious and scolded me for being a bastard, and I didn't bother to reason with him, so I ran to the wasteland to play for more than ten days in a fit of anger, and when I came back, both father and son forgot about it.

"Now you see if it's worth it for you to die because you were humiliated?"

I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't expect Du Xinwu to lead the topic to the beginning again, thought about it and said: "I don't regret what I did before, but I won't in the future, if someone puts me in the cage again, I will definitely find an opportunity to step on his feet and rub him hard." ”

Du Xinwu laughed, "The son can be taught!" Shen Shi really gave birth to a good son. He patted me on the shoulder and said, "We are very fateful, but unfortunately I have to go back to Japan soon, and there are still many things waiting for me." ”

I was anxious, "Uncle Du, are you going to leave now?" ”

"Well, the injury has healed, and there are still many things to do when I go back."

I regretted it, "Uncle Du, I still want to ask you about kung fu." ”

Du Xinwu looked at me with a loving gaze, "There will be a chance." ”

Here, my father returned home from the vegetable garden and said that he would send Du Xinwu on the boat, Du Xinwu said goodbye to Anne, and once again told me to take care of my injuries, so I followed my father.

When I returned to the house, I was still haunted by the fact that I had not learned martial arts from Du Xinwu.

"Shen worm, are you at home? Come out quickly, I'm looking for you in a hurry. ”

There was a voice from Xiaobu outside, and I wondered why he came to look for me, so I hurriedly walked out.

Boo stood outside the door with a rifle on his back, like an ant on a hot pan walking back and forth.

Seeing me come out, Xiaobu looked at me with a frown, "What's wrong with my head?" ”

"I accidentally bumped into it. It's okay, it's almost good. ”

Xiaobu looked at me suspiciously, "It's good that you're not dead, come with me." With that, Xiaobu pulled his legs and left.

Now it was my turn to wonder, and I hurried to catch up with him, "You wait first, why are you going?" Otherwise, I can't follow you, who knows what your kid has set me up. ”

Xiaobu suddenly scolded, "Fart, I don't have the heart to pay attention to you." If it weren't for Piyu, I wouldn't have bothered to come to you. ”

When Xiaobu talked about Piyou, I couldn't help but be surprised, "What's wrong with Piyou?" ”

Xiaobu let out a long breath, "What else, she is going to follow Hamid back to Osman." ”

I was shocked, "How is this possible?" ”

Xiaobu suddenly grabbed me by the collar, his eyes were red, "Worm, are you bastard really stupid or fake, don't you still understand?" Do you think your poor dad can talk to the Governor, even my bastard father doesn't qualify. Piyu must have had to go back to Osman for you, how could she be so clever and now do a stupid thing, in order to save you bastard, to beg Hamid. ”

I instantly understood that it was Piyu who went to ask Hamid and asked him to help me get me out of the governor's palace, so what conditions would Hamid ask Piyu, naturally let her go back to Osman.

I said to Xiaobu, "Xiaobu, thank you for telling me these things, I'm definitely going to find Piyu." Let's go now. ”

After that, I got into Xiaobu's steam locomotive, and Xiaobu drove towards Brydon.

"Isn't this your car? When the bar bet, didn't Piyu say that it would be open for two months? ”

Xiaobu glanced at me disdainfully, "You thought Piyu would be as money-obsessed as you, she gave it back to me in less than a week, and as far as I know, Sasaki drove it most of the time." ”

I looked at this car and had mixed feelings, when I was blasted out of Wood's house by Luna, Sasaki drove this car all over the city, and then I rode in this car several times, of course, much faster than the slowly soaring camel cart and horse-drawn carriage, and I was happy to defeat the humiliated Xiaobu for a few days, but I didn't expect Piyu to return the car to Xiaobu soon.

I don't think I can understand Piyu anymore.

"Xiaobu, you tell me, did you bet you let me that day?"

Xiaobu looked at me and smiled, "I know what you're thinking?" I'm telling you, I didn't let it at all, if Piu played, I would definitely let you, you played, why should I let you. However, I really admire your shooting talent, otherwise, what would I be looking for you now? I don't have that friendship with you yet. ”

As he was talking, the dust was flying behind the car, and someone shouted: "Xiaobu, Xiaobu!" You give me back. ”
