Chapter 019: I'm looking forward to it on the way into the city
Haizi slept very soundly this night, but before the rooster crowed, Haizi was woken up early by Zhao Ye. At this time, it was just the fourth watch, and the sky was not bright at all.
"Wake up early today, and I'll teach you some hand-to-hand combat. However, this is temporary, not for long-term practice. Since your skills are not enough, you should use it as self-defense when practicing, and you can't take the initiative to attack others. ”
With the light of the horse lantern, Zhao Ye first checked the moves that Hai Zi had taught him in the past, and gave him serious and stern instructions, and then demonstrated the new moves one by one, and let Hai Zi practice with him.
"You have to remember the essentials and focus on the key areas before you can make a move. Don't be the first to strike, don't always think about hitting others, martial arts are used for self-defense.
These are all practical moves that I teach you, there are no routines, and you can shoot when you see them. Remember, think about it. The second master may take you to Harbin today, maybe you can use it on the road. ”
Since it is a move for self-defense, of course Haizi will also practice it seriously, but such a move cannot increase the basic skill, and Haizi still feels a little disappointed.
But the master did this, probably so that Haizi could go to Harbin for self-defense, and he might also encounter danger along the way, so that Haizi could not only protect himself well, but also maybe help others.
Haizi was grateful to Master for his good intentions, and he wanted to tell Master about the 'Divine Dragon Technique' he had obtained, because he had secretly practiced the 'Divine Dragon Technique' several times, but he was a little out of the way.
Although there is a text description on the 'Shenlong Jue', and there are even more tricks and one style of drawing, it is not difficult at first glance, and the book is not thick, so you should be able to get the essentials quickly, but Haizi tried a few times and did not have a big gain.
But is it okay to tell Master about the 'Divine Dragon Formula'? Don't say that the 'Divine Dragon Technique' is not coming from the right way, that is, the person who practices martial arts instinctively refuses the martial arts practice of other sects, and it may also make the master unable to accept it.
Forget it, it's better to be safe, and it's not too late to tell Master when the time comes. So Haizi followed Zhao Ye's instructions and practiced one move at a time, and before he knew it, the sky was bright.
"Haizi, go to the guys' house and call the guys up and down early. The second master will take you to Harbin in a while, be careful along the way, and serve the second master well. ”
Zhao Ye saw that Haizi was already sweating profusely, so he asked Haizi to stop practicing, and told Haizi to call up the long-term workers and prepare to work in the field.
Haizi is very excited, he has never been far away since he was a child, let alone going to Harbin. When Haizi woke up the long-term workers and got up, Second Master Yun was already standing in the courtyard and assigned them the work of the past few days.
"Finish the work as I said, ask Zhao Ye for instructions if you have anything at home, the work in the field is still in charge of the big guys, do the work that should be done as soon as possible, and I will be back in three days."
You lead people to put the cart on it, set up three carts, and let the guys help you load the grain and prepare enough forage for three days, I am going to Harbin, we have to hurry early. ”
After Yun Erye finished assigning the work to everyone, he turned back to Haizi and said, "You also go to Harbin with me, so that you can see the world."
Go quickly, go to the backyard lady's room to find the boss and change into the clothes they used to wear, and pick a set that fits. Then I went to the room and asked the master to bring enough food for a few of us at noon. ”
Second Master Yun has changed into a new outfit today, but he doesn't look like a rich man in the countryside, that momentum, that style, only Second Master Yun is worthy of this dress.
Haizi changed into the clothes worn by the eldest young master of the Yun family, and of course he looked more youthful and handsome than usual. Even the boss who was driving the car went back to the house and dressed up carefully, after all, this was going to Harbin.
When the guys packed the food, Monroe, Sixizi, and Wuguizi also came to the compound dressed up, and Haizi thought that they might have to go to Harbin with them, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten up so early.
And along with Monroe and Sixizi, they also came to the compound with Mrs. Yun and the Yun family's eldest mother, Sanniang, and the fourth girl, but Haizi guessed that they might not go to Harbin and came to see them off.
Because none of them deliberately dressed up like Monroe, it didn't look like they were going to go far away. Mrs. Yun, the eldest lady, and the third mother also approached Monroe, Sixizi, and Wuguizi, and whispered something.
"I don't know what you kids think, you want to go into the city, and you have to take care of you on the way. Haizi, you go and take the first car. Fourth, fifth, you get on the second car, be honest on the road, and sit firmly.
Sixizi, you have to take a good look at the five nobles, don't let him be naughty. When you go to the city, you must be obedient, don't run around, or you won't find a home. Monroe got into the last car with me, and let's go. ”
Second Master Yun waved his hand, everyone got into the carriage, and several people left the Yun family compound in the farewell of the old lady and their families, and galloped away from Harbin.
Before the sun came out, the carriage stepped on the road to Harbin. According to Second Master Yun's instructions, he will rush to Harbin today.
So the car bosses were full of energy, constantly shouting, urging the horses to whip. Fortunately, the load on the car is not very heavy, and it is relatively easy for the four horses to pull up, not to mention that the horses of the Yun family are all fat and strong.
Three rubber-wheeled carriages followed one by one, trotting rhythmically down the flat avenue. Haizi knows that there are not many big families with rubber-wheeled carriages within a radius of 100 miles.
In the past, the Zhuang family used wooden wheels and steel axle cars, and now the vast majority of people are still using them, and there are not many people like the Yun family who can bolt up the rubber-tyred car, not to mention that there are four of them tied at once, and only the Yun family compound has this style.
Sitting in the car, Haizi's heart was like grass growing, and he figured out what the city looked like with his own imagination. It is a house with high walls, wide roads, and carved beams......
Perhaps there are also the winding bridges, the graceful weeping willows on the shore, the clear water flowing in the river, the gentlemen in top hats and robes walking in the streets, and the women dressed in fancy clothes......
There are also lively markets and fragrant restaurants...... Haizi searched hard for what people who had been to the city said, what was described in the books, and what he remembered, trying to sketch out what the city looked like in his mind.
But no matter how you imagine it, the outline of the city is still vague and incomplete. It's hard for him to imagine what the city is like, anyway, everyone says that the city is good, a hundred times stronger than the countryside.
Although the imagination of Harbin is vague, the yearning for Harbin is real, and Haizi's thoughts have already flown to Harbin, and he can't wait to see its true face at once.
The sun had already erupted from the east, and the brilliant glow covered the fields, and the carriage that walked by the light left a swaying shadow behind it, while in front of it was a thousand rays of glow, stretching into the invisible distance.
Haizi looked back at the people in the other two cars, wondering what they were thinking now. The most conspicuous person sitting in the car is, of course, Monroe, although she is sitting in the last carriage, and the first thing Haizi sees is her.
Monroe's dazzling red jacket and the white hat with a flowing veil on her head reflected the morning glow, highlighting the elegance and romance of Monroe's goddess, so that Haizi couldn't bear to look away.
Haizi thought, what is this Monroe going to do in the city? Going to school? Why haven't I heard her mention it; Looking for something to do? No way, the Yun family won't let a girl go outside; Go to your in-laws' house? Of course, it's not quite like that.
What did Monroe do in Harbin? Shouldn't you leave Duanlonggang from now on? For the whole day, Haizi spent the whole day in cranky thoughts, both the excitement before entering the city, and a few traces of loss and grievances.
At noon, the carriage arrived in the town of Ulahai. This is a relatively large market town on the way to Harbin, very famous, a wide avenue on both sides, lined with all kinds of shops.
But at the moment, the carriages and horses and the people rushing to the market are a little sparse, and the streets seem a little deserted, probably because of noon. Haizi once came here for the Chinese New Year to buy some New Year's items.
But how many things can the poor family buy for the New Year, they just come here to see the world, but that was also when Daddy was alive, Haizi has not come back in the past two years, and he has neither time nor money.
"Go to the Han family car shop in the east to make a room." Second Master Yun was shouting at the boss who was driving the car in front of him.
Wu Guizi, who didn't talk much along the way, stood up from the car at this time, jumped and jumped and shouted, he wanted to get out of the car to have a look, and go buy a few pieces of candy to eat, Si Xizi quickly got up and hugged him.
The compound of the Han family car shop is very large, and it is also enclosed with an earthen wall, but it is not very high. The two lanterns on the gate look a little shabby, and the words 'Hanjia Car Shop' have not been whitewashed for a long time.
The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic, and greeted Yun Erye and his party with a smile on his face. The guy in this shop is also in his thirties, and his long-term training skills make people feel friendly at first glance, and the smile on his face is very friendly.
"Do you live in a hotel, or do you have a room? Bolt the horse to the east manger, and the man can go to the upper room to rest and eat, and the cart will be left in the yard, but this place is very safe, and all belongings will not be lost.
Did the guest officer bring enough forage? Do you feed the horses yourself, or do you let the guys help feed the horses? If you have any requirements, please feel free to ask them, and the store will definitely meet them."
The shopkeeper responded with a series of enthusiastic words, making people feel that they had to live in his store in order to be worthy of his enthusiasm.
"It's just a room in your store, and I have to hurry in the afternoon. Is there a meadow in front of this, and the horse has to eat grass to grow fat. ”
The second master responded to the shopkeeper's words while getting out of the car, he wanted the horses to eat grass, and the grass was already very lush at this time.
"This master is an old man at first glance, and he knows how to save money and make the horse eat well. Go to the grove ahead, where the grass grows well, and you will have enough to eat in an hour, and go there and herd the horses. ”
The shopkeeper looked at Second Master Yun and introduced him to him. It should be said that this shop guy is still more reasonable, ordinary people don't tell it so clearly, of course Yun Er Ye is also very satisfied with the shop guy's response.
"After unloading the cart in a while, Haizi will go to herd the horses and bring some food. You watch the cart, eat some dry food we brought, sleep under the car when you are sleepy, and then go when it is cool.
I'm going to take the kids to the room for a while, so you don't have to call us when you're eating. Shopkeeper, find us a clean room, it must be clean. ”
Yun Er Ye commanded, and walked to the upper room under the guidance of the shopkeeper, and the children followed behind him.
However, the children looked back as they walked, as if they were reluctant to let go of the guys, including Monroe.
"How's it going, isn't the silly boy tired? What are you shouting in the car? Come into the house with me and rest, the second uncle will buy you something delicious, and then go to sleep. Second Master Yun stroked the head of the fifth nobleman.
"I'm tired, I'm sleepy in the car, and most of the time I'm holding it." Sikiko rushed to answer first, it seems that he is a little dissatisfied with taking care of Goguiko, which makes him lose a lot of freedom.
"Can Haizi put so many horses alone? Let the boss follow. Monroe glanced back at Haizi and made a suggestion to Second Master Yun.
"The boss can't go, you have to watch the pile, and you have to sleep, otherwise you will be sleepy in the afternoon." Sikiko, you go and help Haizi send the horse, and then come back for dinner. ”
Second Master Yun also felt that Haizi was a little lonely alone, so he asked Sixizi to help him. Haizi stomped on his somewhat numb foot, and then looked around.
But he still helped the cart to unload the tired and sweaty horses one by one, and then tied the horses together one by one with Shikiko, ready to go to the grove to graze the horses.
