Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Beautiful Day (1)
Wang Lin and Ji Xiaofang traveled for an hour to arrive in Nghe Ann City, because recently there have been border people who have been traveling long distances to settle in Ngee Ann City, so there is no curfew time in the city, but in order to prevent the border people from mixing with spies, each gate of Ngee Ann City is guarded by a mountain climbing master of the imperial court, and every person who enters Nghe Ann City is inspected, vowing never to miss any suspicious person.
Wang Lin and Ji Xiaofang lined up for an hour and a half before leading the horses into the rather spacious Nghe An City, and at this time, it was already late at night, but the square at the gate of the city was still densely packed with people, some were sleeping, some were chatting. Although everyone is dressed in rags, but each face is filled with an expression of excitement and joy, for them, it is a blessing to be able to settle in Dacheng County in the interior of Xixia Prefecture.
Wang Lin led the horse, and Ji Xiaofang followed behind Wang Lin with her hands behind her back, looking left and right, feeling very fresh.
"Wang Lin, let's find an inn to rest, I just asked, although Nghe An City is not martial law, but the city defense officer still has to rest, and he will go home at night, tomorrow morning we can inquire where the people in your hometown are placed, don't be too anxious first." ”
Wang Lin nodded absentmindedly, and was carefully checking the people around him privately to see if there were any familiar ones.
From time to time, the voices of these border people who had migrated from afar could be heard
"Brother, where did you come from, I look at you familiarly. ”
"I'm from Pingcun, what about you?"
"Hey, I'm from Gejiazhuang, then let's be next to each other, we are new to this big city, and we will be half a fellow countryman in the future, and we will take care of each other in the future, brother." ”
"That's that"
"Hey, have you heard, there is a girl in a town who has been taken in as a righteous daughter by the Taishou couple of Ngee Ann City, and the whole town has been arranged in the most prosperous area in the center of the city. ”
"Well, I heard that the girl who was rumored to be called a water spirit, and she was really a person who attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven, so we didn't have this blessing. ”
Ji Xiaofang looked at Wang Lin, patted Wang Lin's head vigorously with her hand, and said coquettishly: "Didn't you hear it!", Wang Lin eased up and said to Ji Xiaofang with a wry smile: "Sister Xiaofang, I heard it, let's find an inn." ”
Ji Xiaofang smiled at Wang Lin and nodded.
Because of the huge number of people coming and going to Nghe Ann City, those who have no money go to the square at the city gate to shop on the ground, and those who have some money go to the inn to make a tip.
Wang Lin and Ji Xiaofang found five or six houses, but they were all full of houses, and there was no place, so angry that the girl puffed out her mouth, pinched her waist, and walked on the street angrily, but she looked very cute, and from time to time caused passers-by to stop and turn around.
"Wang Lin, I don't want to live on the street!"
"Well, Sister Xiaofang, don't worry, you'll find it. Wang Lin took Ma Wen and said with a smile.
The two of them searched for more than an hour, and finally found an inn, and Wang Lin said that he wanted two rooms.
The innkeeper looked at the talented and beautiful man and woman, thought about it, and said with a lewd smile to Wang Lin that all men understand: "There is only one room left, you can live if you can, and if you can't stay, you can leave, we have no shortage of guests." But let me tell you, our house should be the only inn in Ngee Ann City with rooms, and if you don't live there, you'll have to sleep on the street with those poor people."
Wang Lin smiled bitterly and was about to pull Ji Xiaofang away, but Ji Xiaofang said viciously to the boss: "Just stay, open that room for me!"
Wang Lin said with some embarrassment: "Sister Xiaofang, how can we live in just one room?"
Ji Xiaofang ignored Wang Lin, just looked at the boss's malicious smile fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "How do you live?" Of course we live together, Wang Lin, come with me!" said and snatched the key from the boss's hand, then grabbed Wang Lin's arm and pulled him upstairs.
Wang Lin, who couldn't cry or laugh, looked at the boss with a hint of apology. Unexpectedly, the boss gave him a sly smile.
Another family of three entered the inn to stay in the hotel, and the boss immediately said enthusiastically to the family of three: "The guest officer is really lucky, there is only one room left in our inn. ”
After Ji Xiaofang pulled Wang Lin into the room, she said angrily to Wang Lin: "I sleep on the bed, you know how to lay on the floor!"
Wang Lin nodded casually, which was exactly what he wanted, so he said to Ji Xiaofang with a smile: "Sister Xiaofang, it's been a day's trip, you can rest well, I'll go and stay on the chair over there." ”
Ji Xiaofang looked at Wang Lin vigilantly, and after confirming that Wang Lin didn't mean anything else, she nodded, got into bed alone, and then carefully curled up her body.
Wang Lin took advantage of the candle flame on the table to open the "Wei Tuo Boxing Sutra" handed over to him by Ji Xiaofang, this boxing method has a total of five moves, which can be played at will in any combination, there is no requirement to start and receive, any move can be used as a starting hand, and it can also be used as a receiving, which is really quite convenient.
The names of the five moves are also very real, and there are no domineering names, which are: interception, blocking boxing, piercing boxing, cannon boxing, and King Kong
True to its name, the interception is used to cut off the opponent's moves in the middle of the way, and once the move is cut off, it will disappear in one go, and the momentum and combat power will decline. Blocking the box, with the offense is the best defense, with the fist as a shield. Piercing punches and fighting cattle across the mountain can defeat the enemy without real contact. Cannon fist is the most devastating move, as the name suggests, the enemy of the middle fist is like being bombarded by cannonball, which is difficult to bear. Vajrapani, will be cultivated all condensed in the hands, invulnerable, the hand is its own best weapon, can attack and defend, advance and retreat freely, belongs to a branch of Buddhism hard qigong, and the most wonderful thing is that the practice of Vajrapani can give birth to a Sumeru mustard seed in the body, master the technique of storing foreign objects in oneself.
Wang Lin read this book carefully, and basically memorized the contents, especially the content of Sumeru mustard seeds, and the rest was insisted on all year round. Thinking that he would be able to see Qin'er tomorrow, Wang Lin was very excited, he didn't feel the slightest sleep, and he was stunned for a while, thinking that it would be inconvenient to go out to practice boxing.
With this in mind, he walked to the door of the room, it was late at night, the inn hall became a lot quieter, only a few drunkards were still drinking, Wang Lin walked down the stairs gently, the boss estimated that he was sleeping, leaving only a little two in the hall.
Wang Lin walked all the way out of the inn, and on both sides of the street were closed teahouses, pawnshops, and workshops. There are still a lot of vacant land on both sides of the street, and it is estimated that it is waiting for the border people to arrive and hand it over to them for business. The streets stretched east and west to the quieter suburbs outside the city, and there were not many pedestrians on the roads, and the border residents who came in a hurry were almost asleep.
Wang Lin walked to an open field, adjusted his breathing, carefully felt the wisp of qi in his body that was condensed after the battle with Chen Jinjue, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were blazing, and he spit out the word "interception fist" in his mouth, and then clenched his hands into fists and fought according to the content of the "Vedic Boxing Sutra".
Practicing and practicing, Wang Lin suddenly felt that in addition to a wisp of qi condensed after the war with Chen Jinjue, there was another qi that shrank in his heart, Wang Lin tried to mobilize that qi, but found that the qi didn't listen to Wang Lin at all, so he shrank in Wang Lin's mind and didn't move. Wang Lin tried repeatedly for a long time, but there was no result at all, so he was a little helpless to continue to practice boxing with the qi condensed after the battle with Chen Jinjue.
This practice lasted for two hours, and Wang Lin was sweating all over his body, but he felt quite refreshed and comfortable. Seeing that there were already signs of light in the distance, he calmed down the aura that he was excitedly swimming away and walked back to the inn steadily.
When he returned to the room, he heard Ji Xiaofang's slight snoring, Wang Lin followed the sound and looked over, only to see that Ji Xiaofang was no longer curled up, but lying on the bed on all fours, and the quilt was kicked to the ground.
Wang Lin shook his head helplessly, stepped forward gently, picked up the quilt on the ground, and put it on Ji Xiaofang's body again, and was about to leave, Ji Xiaofang suddenly grabbed the corner of Wang Lin's clothes with one hand, and said in a dream: "Ye Ran, you take me with you, I am a doctor, if someone is injured, I can treat them, don't leave me." As he spoke, there was a tear in the corner of his eye.
Wang Lin looked back at Ji Xiaofang in his sleep, and through the faint light of the candle flame, he saw that her skin was white and flawless, like jade like frost, and her capable short hair hung down behind her ears, which was lined with jade's white and small ears, which was even more black and white. Her eyelashes were black and long, trembling slightly. Wang Lin knew that under the eyebrows were usually a pair of lively and vital eyes, maybe only in a dream can he remove his usual disguise, Wang Lin sighed, gently wiped the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes with his hand, and put her hand back into the quilt.
Wang Lin looked at Ji Xiaofang: "Sister Xiaofang, it seems that your usual appearance is just to cover up the sadness in your heart." Each of us who experienced the war five years ago is trying to cover up the pain of that time in the way we chose, and to meet tomorrow's life with the most enthusiastic attitude we can achieve. ”
After that, Wang Lin returned to the table and sat down, took out "Reasoning" from his baggage and read it again, maybe he was tired from boxing, looking at it, his eyes slowly became blurry, and he gradually fell asleep.
