9. Teachers worry about apprentices
Wang Xue's physical strength was overdrawn when he fought Wang Lijie during the day, and this time he escorted the salt team into the town late at night with the support of a righteous spirit, and as soon as the crisis passed, he felt tired, looked up to the sky and yawned, and said: "Go back, I'm about to die." Just as he was turning to leave, a man suddenly stood in front of him. Wang Xueqiang cheered up and took a look, only to see that this person had a fat head, big ears, thick eyebrows and big eyes, not who Song Dabei was. Wang Xue said lightly: "What are you doing?" Song Dabei's eyes widened, and he said sharply: "Have you heard of my name?" Wang Xue thought about what she had heard, but what if she hadn't heard it, but she just dozed off and said, "You are Song Dabei." Leaning his head on Bu Ziyi, he closed his eyes and rested. Bu Ziyi saw that Wang Xue was very sleepy, so she helped her walk back slowly. Song Dabei stood behind them and shouted: "Since you have heard of my name, it can be seen that you also have a small identity in the rivers and lakes, and you are by no means ordinary people in the rivers and lakes. I see that a few of you are very pleasing to the eye, and today I decided to make an exception to accept you as apprentices, and I don't call you Master!"
Wu Tian listened to it and almost laughed out loud, but he never expected that this person would not forget to talk nonsense at this time, and immediately said: "We worship you as a teacher and learn from you the trick 'monk hitting the bell'?" Wang Xue didn't want to entangle with this strange person more, so she turned around and said, "Li Hao, don't make trouble, go quickly." ”
Wang Xue and the others had to go through the town to return to their residence, and Song Dabei had to enter the town if he wanted to find the salt team, so he followed closely behind Wang Xue. It was late at night, almost all the townspeople were asleep, and the wide streets were empty. Along the way, I only heard Song Dabei muttering about what kind of sect he had served, how he used that trick to 'pull out the willows' and defeated what kind of martial arts masters, and there were many people on the rivers and lakes kneeling in front of him and begging him to instruct the 'monk to hit the bell'. Wang Xue and the others are not weak in martial arts, and as soon as the words entered their ears, they knew that he was talking nonsense again, but no one was too lazy to break it.
Song Dabei talked nonsense again. Zhang Guanhua couldn't help but refute it, and said: "The words that came out of your mouth, in addition to your name that didn't matter whether it was true or not, was there another sentence that was true!" Song Dabei's face sank, and he waved his fist and said: "Don't you believe my words, my kung fu is proof, you make a move first!" Zhang Guanhua knew that he didn't know martial arts and didn't want to bully him, so he stopped talking. Who knew that Song Dabei said again: "It's good if you know that you're afraid, don't speak wildly in front of me in the future!" Zhang Guanhua was already impatient, but he couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and said sharply: "Okay, I'll come today to learn your tricks." As he spoke, he swung his fist at the top of his head. How do you know that Zhang Guanhua's punch is fast, Song Dabei's mouth is faster, and without waiting for Zhang Guanhua's punch to arrive, he screamed loudly: "The apprentice is beating the master, the apprentice is beating the master!" Zhang Guanhua was startled, and the punch immediately stretched out and changed his palm, covering Song Dabei's mouth, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't shout, the people in the town are sleeping!" Wu Tian said: "Also, you are not our master!" Song Dabei said coldly: "Why not, didn't you just learn my trick 'monk hitting the bell'." Also, if you think that I am not qualified to be your master, you might as well call your master to come and have a fight with me, and see if I can beat him to his knees and beg for mercy. Zhang Guanhua roared in a low voice: "See if I can beat you on your knees and beg for mercy." The back elbow hit Song Dabei's chest. Li Hao's figure flickered, flashed in front of Song Dabei to block the elbow, and said, "Guanhua, forget it." Song Dabei smiled and nodded, and said, "It's still this apprentice!" raised his hand and touched the top of Li Hao's head, looking very satisfied. He is taller than Li Hao, and it is effortless to raise his hand to touch Li Hao's head.
Wang Xue was already sleepy and uncomfortable, dozing off while walking, and at this time she was really annoyed by Song Dabei's noise, her headache was almost numb, she stopped and turned around and reprimanded: "Song Dabei, don't follow us anymore!" Song Dabei said: "It doesn't matter what direction I want to go, why do I say I'm following you?" Wang Xue said: "Okay, then you go first!" Song Dabei frowned and said, "How do I know where to go?" Wang Xue said in his heart: "It turns out that you still have to follow us." I only heard Song Dabei say: "Although I have nowhere to go, but with you, you can't let Master and me sleep on the streets." Wang Xue and the others listened to these nondescript and unreasonable words, and they were all at a loss. It turned out that Song Dabei was indeed confused, and he could barely make a living by working in the market before, but at this time, he lost the salt team in a strange town, and he was indeed hesitant. Li Hao hesitated slightly, dragged Wang Xue and the others aside, and said, "How about we take him back to his residence tonight and return him to the salt team tomorrow morning?" Seeing that no one was silent, he said again: "We can't watch him sleeping on the streets, anyway, we still have empty houses." Wang Xue and the others looked coldly at Song Dabei who was circling around, and thought in their hearts that if he, a confused person, was alone on the street all night, there might be some kind of chaos, not to mention that he and the salt team would have some responsibility for escorting the disadvantage. They all nodded in agreement.
After Li Hao went back, he arranged Song Dabei in a small hut next to the kitchen. Although the small hut is elegant, it is not in a hurry to clean it. Li Hao thought that Song Dabei would be yelling and unwilling to live, but he didn't think that he would fall asleep as soon as he lay on the straw mat, and he would snore loudly after a while, thinking that his previous accommodation environment was far less than this.
Wang Xue returned to the bedroom and fell asleep, and did not wake up until the next morning. Getting up and walking out of the house, Bu Ziyi had already cleaned up the herbs that had dried yesterday in the courtyard. Wang Xue walked over to help clean up together, and Bu Ziyi pointed to the medicine jar and stone pestle on the side and said, "You can help me make medicine." Wang Xue has been quite familiar with herbal medicine for several days, although he is not completely aware of the effects of various herbs, but he can also name different herbs, and immediately picked up the stone pestle and asked, "Why haven't you seen Li Hao, what about them?" Bu Ziyi smiled lightly and said: "They took that foolish boy to the town early in the morning to look for the salt team." When the salt team comes out to do business, it will inevitably cause a large number of townspeople to queue up to buy salt, and they can find the salt team in less than half a day at most. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Li Hao walking step by step from the small mountain road in front of the fence gate, looking very haggard. Wu Tian and Zhang Guanhua followed behind, both of them in ragged clothes. Song Dabei walked at the end, waved his hand excitedly and shouted: "The apprentices have good kung fu, I have fought for the master, and the next time the master will teach you the 'upside-down willow', you will definitely win a big victory......" Wang Xue was taken aback, and hurriedly greeted Bu Ziyi, and asked repeatedly. Li Hao said hatefully: "When we found the salt team, although the salt team had just come out of the stall, it was already surrounded by townspeople buying salt. However, there were more than a dozen people from the Lihu Hall gathered on the side to watch the excitement......" Song Dabei interjected: "Then my dwarf apprentice knocked them to the ground with three punches and two kicks...... his face was very proud. Wu Tian shouted, "I'm not a dwarf!"
Li Hao said: "The people of Lihutang didn't recognize us, so it's okay for us to hand over this fat boy to the salt team." Who would have thought that while we were talking to the salt team, he grabbed a disciple of Lihutang, saying that he was invincible in the world, and asked them to kneel down and kowtow to the master. Lihutang was already easy to provoke, they didn't take the initiative to provoke us, it was a great luck, now we have taken the initiative to provoke them, how can they give up, while I don't guard against it, it will be a violent beating! Fortunately, Wu Tian and Guanhua made a timely ......" Song Dabei put his hands on Zhang Guanhua and Wu Tian's shoulders, and thoughtfully analyzed: "This time to repel the murderer, it all depends on our master and apprentice to ...... together" Zhang Guanhua shook off the hand he put on his shoulder, and reprimanded sharply: "Our master and apprentice are single-minded? At that critical moment, you still forced me to buy mille-feuille cakes!" If it weren't for Wu Tian being in a hurry and smashing the storybook he was carrying on that person's head, Li Hao would have been beaten even more bloated than you at this time!"
Li Hao said: "It's not without harvest to go out this time. The salt team promised that as long as we helped escort them out of town, they would take Song Dabei away when they finished their business in the past two days. Bu Ziyi was stunned for a moment and asked: "Song Dabei was originally a member of their salt team, and it is natural to take him away, why should he negotiate conditions with us?" Li Hao learned the tone of the salt merchant and said: "The salt team said, I didn't know it before, but now that I know his situation, I can't let him stay in the salt team." If we are willing to escort them out of town, they will take Song Dabei back, or he will be left to fend for himself in the town. Wu Tian said in a low voice: "If we don't agree, this fat man is afraid that he will stay here and entangle us for the rest of his life." People with such confused brains can't get rid of it, so he won't be here to teach us a lifetime of 'villain kowtow' and 'monk hitting the bell'. Besides, we were going to escort the salt team out of town. Song Dabei was overjoyed when he heard Wu Tian say the moves he had created, and said: "Actually, I still have a lot of moves, forgive you for not being able to learn them for a while, and I will teach you slowly when I have time in the future." Bu Ziyi said gently: "Okay, well, we will have the opportunity to ask you again in the future." ”
Early the next morning, Zhang Guanhua and Wu Tian went up the mountain to chop firewood and pick wild fruits, and Liu Yue pointed out the steps in the backyard to practice Ziyi and Li Hao. Wang Xue has nothing to do, walking around in the courtyard, although she misses her mother, but she is powerless to do it, thinking that the matter of saving her mother will have to wait for Song Dabei to be planned as soon as this matter is over, and there should be no big problem with her mother's side.
Song Dabei stood aside and looked at Liu Yue in a daze, and suddenly nodded and said: "Although this person's qualifications are not good, his martial arts are not weak, it is rare that he is young and diligent in studying and practicing hard." If he is willing to worship me as a teacher, I will teach him with all my might, and his achievements will be far greater than mine. Wang Xue laughed and said: "Why wait until the future? You just want to worship him as a teacher, and he may not be willing to accept you, why do you still want to accept others as apprentices?" Song Dabei was already idle and panicked, and when he heard Wang Xue say this, he immediately picked up the topic and said: "What, haven't you seen my methods, let you see and understand today!" Wang Xue knew that he was shallow and didn't want to be as knowledgeable as him, so he suddenly became childlike and wanted to show off his martial arts in front of this unholy person, anyway, he was idle left and right, so he said loudly: "Master Song is not busy making a move, we have already learned your high tricks." Xiaomei has recently learned a set of Wang family boxing methods, and now I want to offer ugliness in front of you, please give me some advice. Song Dabei smiled: "So good, so good." He didn't have a beard on his face, but he raised his hand and made a twisting motion.
Wang Xue led him to the foot of the tree stump, stood up and used the strength of the Wang family's fist technique, and punched the stump with a straight fist. Standing and straightening are the basic routines of martial arts, and Wangjiaquan is a foreign kung fu, so more attention is paid to this routine. Wang Xue learned martial arts when she was young, and every day from morning to night, she repeatedly stood on the horse and played straight boxing. At this time, she deliberately wanted to show off her kung fu, and she made this set of boxing techniques more powerful. Unexpectedly, Song Dabei said lightly: "Your foundation is not bad, but it's a pity that this boxing technique is new to you, because you are not proficient." Wang Xue was slightly stunned, thinking that you are talking nonsense, I have been familiar with this boxing method since I was a child. As soon as he thought about it, he sped up his fist speed. Unexpectedly, Song Dabei said again: "It is really not easy to practice martial arts like you, but you think, your opponent is not a tree after all, and he will not wait for you to fight, no matter how fast and ruthless you fight now, when it comes to the real enemy, I am afraid that it will be useless." What's more, you only have these few moves to fight over and over again, and the moves are so simple, how can the opponent be hit?" In fact, this way of boxing is just the foundation of martial arts, the longer you learn it, the stronger the foundation, and the higher the realm of martial arts. It's just that Wang Xue's martial arts have not yet reached the first-class, so he didn't think of this section, Song Dabei doesn't know martial arts, and he can't imagine it.
Wang Xue was annoyed and angry, but he didn't attack immediately, but said lightly: "Since this way of boxing is simple and useless, will you?" Song Dabei naturally wouldn't, but he refused to admit defeat, and said: "Why not, I'll call you." Wang Xue took two steps back and gave way to the stump in front of Song Dabei. I saw Song Dabei bending his legs and knees like Wang Xue, and hitting the stump forward with his fists in turn, he deliberately wanted to make Wang Xue envious, and used all his strength and speed when punching. But he didn't want to move fast, but in the eyes of Wang Xue, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, it was just a hairy hand. If you can learn it just by looking at other people's moves, then people who learn martial arts in the world only need to read martial arts books, so why do you need to apprentice to a teacher? Although Song Dabei has been imitating Wang Xue with all his might, many details and movements are completely wrong, for example, when Wang Xue turns his hips, he twists his waist, and Wang Xue shrugs his shoulders, but he sinks his shoulders.
Wang Xue saw that he couldn't even play the most basic standing moves, and he was still complacent, and the boss in his heart was unhappy. So he stood beside him, slowed down his movements and punched forward, saying: "See my movements clearly, rotate your body on the ground with your front foot, and instantly close your abdomen when you punch, and send your shoulders forward." Song Dabei did as he said, only to feel that this method was very strange, and his punch was not as powerful as just now. Wang Xuewen said: "This set of punches is actually very simple, you just need to remember that every move you hit concentrates the strength of the whole body, rather than a single limb to exert force." Song Dabei was reminded by Wang Xue, and gradually found the feeling of boxing, only to see that every punch he made at this time was quite powerful, and it was no longer as messy as before. Wang Xue nodded and said, "Very good, faster than when I first learned." Then I thought: I, Wang Xue, am conceited to be a martial arts genius, and I have practiced for a whole day before I have a second realm; Song Dabei will be able to understand it a little bit as soon as he learns, and this stupid guy is actually much better than me!
Song Dabei practiced martial arts for the first time since he was born, and when he heard Wang Xue praise himself, he was even more happy in his heart, and said loudly: "I'm practicing well, when will you make me the head!" Wang Xue said: "Have you practiced well? Come here, I'm teaching you steps. "She has only been an apprentice before, but she has never been a master, but today she tasted the feeling of being a master for the first time, and she only found it very fun and interesting. Although Song Dabei is confused, his martial arts qualifications are not very weak, and the two of them are eager to learn and the other love to teach, but they don't know that more than an hour has passed.
Song Dabei was able to use both the standing punch and the pace at this time, but his basic skills were extremely poor, and Wang Xue taught him extremely fast, so he finally had some qualifications, and he barely looked like a martial arts practitioner when he punched while moving. At this time, he was moving around Wang Xue, and suddenly saw an extra person next to the small pine tree in the distance behind Wang Xue. Song Dabei stopped and stared, only to see that this person was Liu Yue, who was pointing at Bu Ziyi and Li Hao's kung fu.
Song Dabei was anxious to show his kung fu, so he ran to Liu Yue in three or two clicks, and shouted at first sight: "Let you see my martial arts!" Wang Xue turned around and saw Liu Yue, and was taken aback: "Although it is more than enough for me to teach this Song Dabei with this little kung fu, how dare I get an axe in front of Senior Brother Liu?" I don't know how long Senior Brother Liu has been standing here. Hurriedly rushed over to stop Song Dabei. Song Dabei didn't wait for Wang Xue to get close to stop him, so he punched forward and said, "Look, this is the main fist in the Wang family's boxing." He took another step backward and said, "This is called 'back flash'!" Suddenly took a step forward, stepped on Liu Yue's left side, and said, "This is a forward slide!" Liu Yue quietly looked at Song Dabei's move, and his face was unmoved. Song Dabei suddenly took a step back and struck at Liu Yue's door with a fist. Liu Yue casually blocked it and said to Wang Xue: "You don't seem to have taught him self-knowledge. Wang Xue's little face turned red, and she couldn't speak. Song Dabei was slightly surprised when he saw Liu Yue lightly blocking his heavy punch, and said sharply: "Awesome! Now let you see my trick." I saw him lower his head, shout 'monk hit the bell', and hit Liu Yue's chest. Liu Yue flashed sideways, stood in front of Wang Xue, and said, "You come with me." ”
Song Dabei was only two feet away from Liu Yue, and this move was a unique skill in his life, so he never expected that Liu Yue would be able to dodge it easily. He used all his strength in this move, and it was too late to accept it, his body followed his head to the grass in front of him, and he rolled on the grass for two times before getting up, only to see that Wang Xue had followed Liu Yue under the eaves of the kitchen. Song Dabei was so happy that he gradually felt tired, so he simply lay down on the grass and fell asleep.
Wang Xue said in a low voice: "Senior brother, I know you are angry with me, I shouldn't teach him martial arts." Liu Yue naturally put a hand on Wang Xue's shoulder, and said gently: "I'm not angry, it's nothing if you teach him martial arts." I just want you to understand that since you teach him martial arts now, you will have to bear the consequences of teaching him in the future. Wang Xue seems to understand. Liu Yue said: "Song Dabei is arrogant and conceited, and no one is in his eyes, and others will not embarrass him for the sake of his confusion in martial arts." Now that you have taught him martial arts, with his deeds, he is bound to cause trouble everywhere, and disaster will come to him in the future. Wang Xue immediately suddenly said: "Senior brother, you are right, this Song Dabei has caused us a lot of trouble before practicing martial arts, if he really learns martial arts, then it will be okay?" Liu Yue said: "If he is an ordinary person, it is okay for us to point him out one or two, but he is not clear-minded, stubborn and troublesome and does not listen to advice, alas!" Wang Xue said: "I understand senior brother, I taught him kung fu just for fun, but I didn't expect that it might hurt him because of this, but ...... It's just ......" Liu Yue said: "It's just that the kung fu taught can't be taken back, so there's no way." Anyway, the martial arts he has learned now are just scratching the surface, and they are not better than ordinary people who don't know martial arts. He will leave the town tomorrow with the salt team, and most of the people in their market are familiar with Song Dabei's situation, so they won't be embarrassed by him!"
