Chapter 12 The beginning of the school year is approaching
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government and relevant leaders have been committed to building socialism with special characteristics and developing humanities, economy, science and technology. Advocating hard work to rejuvenate the country, empty talk to mislead the country, the whole country of 100,000 people, forge ahead together, and achieve remarkable results at an astonishing speed, which has the efforts of countless people, blood and sweat.
The spirit of industriousness has been passed down from generation to generation on this land, although the dynasty has changed and fallen apart many times, but on the table of the world, the Chinese people will always have a place.
The common people work hard, the soldiers obey the call, the parents and officials are dedicated to the people, and everyone keeps in mind the great man's sentence "If you are backward, you will be beaten." "I know that I must be at the forefront of the times so that I will not be abandoned by the world.
But if you gain something, you lose something. This truth was obtained by the ancestors through practice again and again. And this truth is not groundless, but a real truth.
People have a good life and a country has a good future, not only because everyone is working together, but also because of the loss of civilizations that should have shone but are gradually declining. For example, the rivers and lakes with fresh clothes and angry horses, and the martial arts with mountains and flowers.
Some people feel sorry for it, and some people rejoice in it. After all, in all dynasties, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes have always been an existence that threatens the temple.
It's just that martial arts have a long history, although all dynasties have suppressed people with bad intentions, but there are also righteous and awe-inspiring knights, doing good things for the country and the people, willing to devote themselves to the temple, with what they have learned, to make a modest contribution to the world.
But the people are forgetful, and some things that have been inherited for thousands of years suddenly disappeared in ten or twenty years and faded out of people's field of vision. People may remember it for decades, but after a few decades, when another generation of people grows up, they will naturally forget.
The "year of martial arts" has now become the "year of decline". This has to be said to be a cold winter for people who practice martial arts. But fortunately, there are many Chinese people, and there are always some people who have more or less retained.
Although there are no people who practice martial arts now, after all, it is only seen in the eyes of ordinary people, and in the level that ordinary people can't see, there are still many incredible aliens, but they rarely show it in front of people, and they don't want to disturb the world, after all, today's world is not the era when there were so many cows.
There are not a few traditional martial arts that survive under pressure and pass on. Like Wudang, Shaolin, Xingyi, Tai Chi, Wing Chun and so on. There are still countless schools of thought, but now there are too many factions within each faction, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad are uneven, and most of them are in the form of research associations, associations, martial arts schools, etc., all of which are non-governmental organizations and are gradually developing commercially.
There is a famous saying that "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes." This sentence is not unreasonable, perhaps the rivers and lakes in the past just existed in a different way, ordinary people seem to be far away, and people in the industry are in it.
Of course, this is not something that the young Wu Hou can reach. At this time, he only firmly believed that there was that place, but he didn't know where it was now.
I remember a news report that one night a few years ago, an elderly street vendor came home late at night. On the way back, there were few street lights, the night was dark, and when I passed through an intersection, I ran a red light because I was anxious to go home, and I never thought that a car happened to come at this time. The vendor was slow and was about to be hit head-on by a car, but in an instant, he inexplicably changed his position and avoided the car traveling at hundreds of kilometers per hour.
The next day, someone saw on surveillance that a figure appeared out of thin air behind the vendor when the car was about to crash into the vendor. The figure grabbed the vendor by the hand, turned into a white shadow with an unimaginable speed of movement, led the vendor to safety, and then put on his cap and turned away. The driver of the car was so frightened by this scene that he almost drove the car into the river, and the next day he was scared of a serious illness.
There are many more things like this, and all kinds of media news often capture this kind of incredible events. It's just that no one has ever seen who that incredible mysterious person really is. People only have a few days of curiosity, chat after tea and dinner, and it takes a few days to be distracted by busy work and life, and then rarely mention it again.
Such mysterious people disappear out of thin air after doing good deeds, in fact, it is not difficult to imagine that they are the people in the rivers and lakes hidden in the peaceful and prosperous world. The rivers and lakes are so big that they can be found everywhere, and they are so small that they may be around us, but they have never been discovered.
Yizhenglian is a small non-governmental organization hidden under this prosperous era.
There are not many of them, only a dozen people, they are composed of a group of like-minded young people, the leader is only thirty years old, he is a middle-aged man who runs a grocery store, in fact, he is a practitioner, and the rest of the members also have their own abilities, but everyone is a small common man, and they have not done anything big, but occasionally the road is uneven, and they are chivalrous once.
Li Chunxi is a member of Yizhenglian, and his hometown is in the same city as Wuhou, but the two do not know each other. He was weak when he was a child, and in order to exercise his body, he was later sent by his family to a martial arts school to practice martial arts for a few years. A few years ago, when I was studying in a university abroad, I met the leader of Yizhenglian by chance, and then joined Yizhenglian at the invitation. After graduating from college, he returned to his hometown, found a stable job, and lived a 9-to-5 life, although it was dull, but it was also delicious.
In the past few days, Li Chunxi heard that a group of hunters had entered the city, secretly caught hundreds of golden chickens in the mountains, and sold them to the game market in the city. He was upright, relying on some skills, fishing in troubled waters, and sneaked into the black market, wanting to find those few trappers and send them to the police station.
But I sneaked in a few times and inquired in many ways, but I couldn't find those poachers, but I heard about the white tigers in the mountains. He learned the news from him when he invited a black market owner surnamed Wang, who was in charge of receiving wild meat, to dinner. This Boss Wang is the next family of those poachers, the poachers are responsible for hunting, and then handed over to Boss Wang, who is responsible for repacking and selling to others.
That day, the four hunters came back from the mountains, the boss had a color on his body, a big hole on his arm, and the brothers hurriedly asked Boss Wang to collect the money, and ran away with the woman in a panic. Before leaving, he told Boss Wang that there was a rare thing in the mountains, it was a huge white tiger, and several people wanted to catch it, but they were followed, disrupted the plan, and was injured by someone with leaves. In order to avoid chaos, I was afraid that the police would find a group of people, so I didn't dare to stay for a long time and had to leave quickly.
Boss Wang drank to his heart's content, and told Li Chunxi what he knew. He has no interest in the white tiger, and thinks that some rare things in the deep mountains and old forests are normal, so he does some small business himself, and he can't eat a big tiger.
He said it casually and didn't care at all, but Li Chunxi, who was listening, took it to heart. So when he went home that night, he talked to Yizhenglian's boss on the phone and told him that someone had met the white tiger in the mountains of his hometown.
As for why Li Chunxi attaches so much importance to the White Tiger, it is not for profit, but when he was still in college a few years ago, he once drank with the boss and heard the boss say something about the White Tiger.
The boss said that a long, long time ago, there was a mysterious family that changed its name and surname after experiencing a catastrophe and hid into the world. This group used to use the white tiger as a totem, the same position as the gods, and was worshipped by their family for generations of incense. This clan once produced an earth-shattering martial arts man, who cultivated to the heavens and the earth, and at the peak, he could make the emperor bow his head. Later, this person led the whole clan to occupy the mountain as the king, and fought against the imperial court, because he opened up another martial path, contrary to the normal state of martial arts, and finally became the enemy of the whole world, and was suppressed by the imperial court and the entire rivers and lakes.
Li Chunxi felt that this white tiger must have some kind of relationship with the family that his boss had said. Maybe it's the totem enshrined by that mysterious family.
Sure enough, after hearing about this on the phone, his boss was very surprised, and immediately arranged for Li Chunxi to say: "Don't make a noise, you have time to take a trip to the mountains and verify it yourself." ”
Li Chunxi agreed to the boss and decided to wait for the vacation time to go for a walk in the mountains to see if the news was true or false. It's just that the vast mountains, stretching for thousands of miles, he don't know which mountain the poachers met the white tigers on which mountain.
This has undoubtedly become a needle in a haystack, Li Chunxi took advantage of several vacations to go to the mountains to try his luck a few times, but each time in vain, he had to call the boss to explain the situation, and had to give up.
The boss also doubted the authenticity of the predators' speeches, after all, he was not around, and he couldn't believe it because of a few words from others, in case it was groundless.
In the end, the matter was put aside, and Li Chunxi still commuted to and from work step by step as usual, living a 9-to-5 life. His boss also guarded the grocery store as always, doing a living to support his family, and occasionally doing some good deeds behind his back.
In summer, the weather is cloudy and uncertain, especially in the mountains, when the sky is clear, and in the blink of an eye, it is dark clouds and heavy rain. But after a short time, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed one after another, and the sun fell again.
Time passed day after day, and gradually it was almost September, and Wu Hou, who spent a whole summer vacation at his grandmother's house, was also approaching the time for school to start, and he would return to the city in a few days. He didn't want to go back to school, but felt that it was still comfortable in the mountains. There are grandparents who love themselves, friends who live in the mountains who are also naughty, cute white tigers, and powerful masters.
These are much more interesting for Wu Hou than life in the city, and as for going to school or something, it is too boring for him.
But he also understands that it is not possible not to go to school, and in the current society, if there is no knowledge, it will only be difficult to step into the society in the future. After following the master to practice for more than a month, under the teaching of Duanmu Shenjiu, Wu Hou also understood a lot of truths. Today's dignified men, if they are illiterate, it is a shame to say it. The big husband must not only be able to bend and stretch, but also be able to write and martial arts, and that is the person who can achieve great things.
So Wu Hou decided that he still had to go back to study hard, he thought that he was not stupid, if he studied hard, good grades would not be easy to catch.
