Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Fortune in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 69 The Pros and Cons of Learning Martial Arts

On the dark and dilapidated streets, only Zhang and Qi were left in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Song looked at the figures of the two leaving, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Young heroes, in their prime. Xiaohe, can you imagine that two years ago they were just two hairy boys who didn't agree with the world. After speaking, he turned his head to look at Qi He, and said with a strange expression: "Then again, you guy is as big as them, why is the gap so big?"

Qi He cried and said with a sad face: "Boss, those two are demons, how can I compare with them as a normal person!"

"It's true!" Zhang Song nodded, looked at the slanting sun inserted in the corner of the wall, and sighed: "Two demons, this river and lake will be wonderful in the future, and we will become famous in the water town!"

After coming out of the street, Meng Li directly separated from Li Qifeng and returned to Mengjia Village.

Five days ago, he came to the town to sell the truckload of fish and shrimp that he and Meng Jiangxi had caught together. Unexpectedly, he encountered Hu Fei committing a crime in Shui Town, and in a fit of anger, he revealed a reward with Li Qifeng, and tortured Hu Fei for five days, and then he took a bad breath.

If there is revenge, revenge will be avenged, which is one of the truths that Meng Li has understood in the past two years. Don't be too tolerant of life, especially those who need to forge ahead, but also stick to their hearts, if their minds are frustrated, it will be difficult to achieve great things.

Meng Li is not a saint, and he does not have the kind of great wisdom that spits on his face. Although under Yan Xingguan's deliberate training in the past two years, his degree of delicacy has far exceeded that of ordinary people, but after all, he is still a normal person with flesh and blood, and he still can't help but be impulsive about things that he is not used to.

Hu Fei's episode is just a trivial matter for him, a hurried passer-by in his life's journey. This thug wasn't the first person he killed, and he wouldn't be the last.

Meng Li's condition is destined for him to have an unusual journey, and in the end, he may be like most people in the rivers and lakes, and he will inevitably die. But until then, his footsteps will never stop.

When he returned to Mengjia Village, it was already an hour later, and Meng Li, who estimated that the time was about the same, did not enter the village, but came to the fishing ground. As soon as I walked into the shore, I saw a familiar fishing boat sliding back from the river and leaning towards the shore.

Meng Li saw the fishing boat and beckoned to Meng Jiangxi on the fishing boat.

Meng Jiangxi laughed when he saw Meng Li, and threw a hemp rope to the shore when the fishing boat was about to approach the shore.

The twine, which should have been yellow, had turned black-brown after years of immersion in seawater, and was the thickness of a thumb, tied to the bow of the boat at one end and made into a noose at the other.

Meng Li caught the hemp rope, but instead of putting the hemp rope on the upper stake, Meng Li used his arms to pull the fishing boat over little by little.

With a bang, the fishing boat landed.

Meng Jiangxi jumped off the boat, patted Meng Li's strong arm and said, "Good boy, I am finally willing to come back." You don't know how boring I am alone for five days. ”

Seeing Meng Jiangxi's excited appearance, Meng Li couldn't cry or laugh, this fish hunter who was respected as the king of fish by several nearby fishing grounds had completely let himself go since he partnered with him.

As for the reason, maybe it's because Meng Li's performance is too good.

Two years ago, since Meng Li officially went out with him, he was distracted to teach Meng Li fishing skills, not only did not delay the fishing work, but also greatly increased the amount of fish.

Meng Li's talent in fishing, just like the talent he showed in martial arts, was breathtaking.

An excellent person, no matter what he does, will be excellent, this sentence would sound a little ridiculous to Meng Jiangxi before, but now that I think about it, there may really be some truth.

In this world, how can there be an all-round talent?

But some things are indeed common, and the strength that Meng Li gained from learning martial arts did greatly help them to go out fishing.

That's right, Meng Jiangxi already knew about Meng Li's martial arts, and at the same time, he was also the only one in Mengjia Village who knew about it, and even his family didn't tell him.

In Meng Jiangxi's impression, Meng Li had a mysterious master, who was very mysterious, and he was a little worried at first, but after making sure that the mysterious person had no malicious intentions, he put his heart down.

For Meng Jiangxi, Meng Li's study of martial arts is a mixed blessing, and on the good side, it is natural to conform to the atmosphere of everyone learning martial arts, shaping character, strengthening physique, and constantly striving for self-improvement.

Southern Tang Dynasty heavy martial arts, 14 years ago after the truce between the two countries, the national affairs set on the word "martial", when Wen Tao Wuluo was listed as the first emperor of the ancient Emperor Zhiwen Emperor, had discussed with the civil and military officials in the court meeting for a day and a night, and finally formulated the eight-character mantra of "within 20 years, everyone practices martial arts".

Regardless of men and women, whether they are poor or low, even if they live at the bottom of the market, within 20 years, they must have the opportunity to learn and practice martial arts.

This is the unprecedented "ambition of Dingwu" in history.

The ambition of Dingwu not only changed the historical trajectory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but also had a profound impact on the Liang capital that stood majestically in the north.

In the same year, the Northern Liang promulgated the national policy, and also focused on the national affairs, vigorously supported the development of the rivers and lakes, and at the same time embraced all rivers, leading the rivers and lakes to work, and being the biggest leader in the rivers and lakes and temples.

Meng Li learned martial arts and did not fall behind, which is a good thing. After all, in this world where everyone has martial arts to learn, if you don't have one or two hands to defend yourself, how can you survive?

Meng Jiangxi was born in troubled times, lived in troubled times, and lived in stable and prosperous days, just after more than ten years, although Dingwuzhizhi has nothing to do with him. However, with the method of strengthening the body, you can also understand the benefits of learning martial arts. Otherwise, how did he get the name of the king of fish?

Meng Jiangxi glanced at Meng Li deeply, and couldn't help but worry about this black and thin boy who seemed to be malnourished.

Learning martial arts is a good thing, but it also comes with a lot of risks. It is a well-known fact that martial arts students are brave and ruthless. Since the wind of martial arts blew, I don't know how many good sons and daughters have lost their lives because of this. Among them, there are many well-prepared sons and daughters of families.

Chongwu Erlang went out of the rivers and lakes and drowned in the rivers and lakes. It has to be said that it is really an ironic thing to bury your bones here before you have time to show your ambitions.

Meng Jiangxi regarded Meng Li as his nephew and naturally didn't want him to have an accident.

Meng Li laughed and said, "I know that Uncle Meng is working hard, and when I go back, I will ask Aunt Liu to make you your favorite fish noodle soup to eat." ”

Hearing the words "fish soup noodles", a touch of longing appeared on Meng Jiangxi's face.

This fish noodle soup tastes really nothing, don't look at the simplicity of the method and raw materials, but for Meng Jiangxi, who is tired of eating fish all day, it is still a gluttonous meal.

It's a pity that this fish noodle soup was passed on to Meng Li's mother, and it was originally made to commemorate Meng Li's parents.

Meng Jiangxi rolled his eyes and complained: "My family, sometimes I really wonder if he is my daughter-in-law, I heard that she has passed on the skill of making fish soup noodles to you?"

Meng Li nodded, smiling without saying a word.

Seeing his hippie smiling face, Meng Jiangxi said angrily: "If you want to say that the most unconscionable person is still you, since you have learned this craft, you still don't know how to honor your old Uncle Meng, and let your old Uncle Meng love you for so many years." ”

Unexpectedly, Meng Li, who was burned by the fire, touched his nose and said with a smile: "I have just learned, and many steps have not yet been figured out, and when I succeed, I will definitely invite you to taste it first." ”

"That's pretty much it!"

Meng Jiangxi suddenly remembered a very important thing, and said: "Oh, by the way, in the past few days when you are away, I have caught a lot of fish, and the New Year will be in two days, originally I wanted Xiaorou to accompany me to the town by water to sell the fish, but last night she fell to her feet, so I have to work hard for you." ”

Meng Li frowned, and said worriedly: "It's a big problem, right?"

Meng Jiangxi shook his head and said, "I have already dealt with it for her, and she will be cured after a few days of rest." ”

Hearing that Meng Rou was fine, Meng Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"Meng Rou's legs and feet are inconvenient, and the family also needs someone to take care of her, old Uncle Meng, don't go, I can solve the fish selling matter alone." ”

Meng Jiangxi hesitated and said: "Can you do it alone?" There are a lot of fish caught in the past two days, I estimated that it is about 500 catties. ”

Five hundred catties of fish, in this cold season, is indeed not less. After all, it is an important time when the end of the year is approaching, and it would be a lot of income if you could sell it all.

However, the difficulty is that there are not many people who can afford to eat at this time.

Meng Li took out the silver he had received from Li Qifeng before, and said with a smile: "Old Uncle Meng, what do you think this is?"

Meng Jiangxi exclaimed: "This time the fish money?"

Meng Li put two pieces of silver in Meng Jiangxi's hand, and said as if there was something to do: "The reason why I went to Shui Town for so long this time is actually to talk about a big deal, you give me this batch of fish, and I promise to solve it for you in minutes." ”

Meng Jiangxi stared at Meng Li and said suspiciously: "You really didn't lie to me?"

Meng Li smiled and said, "Old Uncle Meng, you see when I have deceived you." ”

"That's right. Meng Jiangxi didn't even see that he was lying, nodded and said, "Since you have a way, then follow your way." As a rule, I'll take you to the nearest shore by boat early tomorrow morning, and you can push the rest of the way by yourself. ”

Meng Li clapped his hands and said, "Okay, just do it." ”
