When Lu Yanning returned home, not only his parents were at home, but his brother and sister-in-law also came back and were waiting for him to eat together.

My brother is six years older than him, so although the relationship between the two brothers is okay, there are not too many words, after all, there is so much age difference, and the circle of communication is not the same.

Lu Yanning and his brother have their own friends and friends. This is also a "generation gap".

After eating, Lu Yanning went out again in the evening, and went to a few friends' houses to sit and chat. Year twenty-nine, there won't be much to do at night, and it won't work until tomorrow night, everyone is estimated to be busy, all kinds of doors.

When I grew up, I always felt completely different from the Chinese New Year when I was a child, and I didn't have the atmosphere and taste when I was a child.

Except for eating Chinese New Year's Eve, there seems to be nothing else to do.

In short, it's all kinds of doors. Children are okay, all kinds of red envelopes, as well as all kinds of firecrackers and fireworks, when they grow up, these seem to be gone, and they will be said by the elders "I don't grow up", so I gradually grow up and stop playing.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it was time for my mother to go back to her parents' house, so she prepared some things to go to my grandfather's house to pay New Year's greetings.

However, this year, only my parents and Lu Yanning went together. My brother and sister-in-law still have a bunch of people who need to be visited, after all, although the two of them are working in the field, they are also official apes, and some of the interactions they should have are still necessary.

Lu Yanning remembers that when he was a child, he always went with a family of four.

Zhuanjiao City is also an important city in Hujian, one of the Golden Triangle in the south of the People's Republic of China, and its economy is quite good. However, to put it mildly, Zhuanjiao City has done a relatively good job in protecting traditional culture.

That's right, Lu Yanning's grandfather's house is in Zhuanjiao City, but not in the urban area, but in the countryside.

As soon as he entered the village, Lu Yanning seemed to be a generation younger, uh, no, the seniority was not high, I saw this aunt, I saw that cousin, and I saw another grandfather......

When he arrived at his grandfather's house, after paying his grandfather's New Year's greetings, he left his parents behind, and Lu Yanning slipped away. Go find the third uncle.

As for why he is called the third uncle, Lu Yanning is not clear, anyway, when he came over when he was a child, his mother asked him to call him so, screaming, calling used to it, but he didn't worry about why. Lu Yanning estimated that it was because the third uncle and grandfather were of the same generation, and they were relatively close clansmen.

This third uncle was also a strange man, who wandered around in his youth and later returned to the village to become a barefoot doctor. That's right, it's the relative who taught Lu Yanning the Yijin Sutra.

The third uncle has never married in his life, but the clan has given a son, so he can be regarded as having a queen.

When he came with his mother when he was a child, Lu Yanning liked to stay at the third uncle's house, listen to the third uncle tell him about his deeds back then, and listen to the third uncle tell him what he saw and heard when he was out wandering.

Before I walked into the third uncle's house, I heard the third uncle's voice: "Wow Ga Li, Oh ......"

It seems that the third uncle is still receiving guests today, oh no, it's a patient. Although it is Minnan dialect, Lu Yanning came to his mother a lot when he was a child, and he slowly learned it. The phrase "Wow Ga Li Gong Oh" translates to: "I'll tell you".

Sure enough, when Lu Yanning walked in with a gift, he saw the third uncle explaining the taboos and precautions for taking medicine to a fellow villager.

In the countryside, older people will always have such and such problems, especially waist and knee pain, etc., and when encountering such problems, people in the village like to come to the third uncle to get medicine. Although I actually know those taboos and precautions, if the third uncle wants to talk about it, I can only listen.

When the guests left, Lu Yanning stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Third uncle, Yanning has given you a New Year's greeting!"

"Okay, good, Yan Ning is here, sit down. The third uncle was also very happy to see Lu Yanning coming. After all, his son doesn't believe much in what he has learned, let alone study, only Lu Yanning is willing to listen, loves to listen, and has learned a lot of his skills, and Lu Yanning is also his apprentice, but he didn't formally worship the teacher.

Lu Yanning put down the gift and asked, "Third uncle, what about cousin?" After speaking, he remembered that today was the second day of the Lunar New Year, and his cousin and aunt must have gone to his aunt's house.

Sure enough, the third uncle smiled and said, "How did you come, how did your cousin and them go." ”

Lu Yanning could only laugh and say: "Yes, yes, I forgot, today is the second day of junior high school, and my cousin and aunt are going back to their parents' house." ”

Next, the third uncle asked, "How are you practicing kung fu, have you improved?" When he came every year, the third uncle always had to ask such a question, but Lu Yanning didn't practice much before, so it was not easy to answer, but now, it is different.

Lu Yanning smiled a little smugly: "Third uncle, I haven't fallen behind in the kung fu you taught, and besides, I have practiced my true qi! I can practice it for you." ”

"Ah, you really practiced true qi, don't lie to me!" the third uncle asked in surprise and a little eagerly, but with a little suspicion.

Lu Yanning didn't hide it, and told the third uncle about his cultivation of the Yijin Sutra after he apprenticed to Guo Daochang. During the lecture, the third uncle also interrupted from time to time to ask for some details.

After listening to Lu Yanning's introduction, the third uncle was silent. After a long time, Fang Cai sighed: "It's a pity! It turns out that there are still some things missing, no wonder I have cultivated for so many years, that is, my body is better and my strength is relatively great, but there is nothing else special." ”

In fact, the third uncle is recognized as a strong man in the village, don't look at his age now, he is in his sixties and almost seventy this year, and he is still thin, but that kind of strength, most of the young descendants in the village can't compare. It is said that when he was young, his physical strength was extraordinary, and his martial arts skills were also quite clever. This is also one of the reasons why the third uncle is considered a strange person by the people in the village.

It's just that Lu Yanning didn't learn the third uncle's stick method, not because the third uncle didn't teach it, but because Lu Yanning was still young before and couldn't practice it. That set of stick techniques is also said to be from Southern Shaolin, and the stick itself is made of hardwood as thick as the handle of a hoe, and there are not many fancy techniques, all of which are seemingly simple but practical tricks.

Originally, Lu Yanning was young at that time and wanted to learn with a thin light wooden stick, but the third uncle didn't know what the considerations were, but he didn't teach, saying that he would wait for Lu Yanning to be older. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Lu Yanning has studied boxing and learned the Yijin Sutra before, but he doesn't work very hard.

After all, no matter who it is, they regard it as a treasure, but others don't take it very seriously, and no one is happy to give it to others.

Lu Yanning comforted: "Third uncle, it's okay, I'll go back and beg my master to see if I can tell you about that set of internal skills, and you can also practice." ”

The third uncle waved his hand and said, "Forget it, your third uncle and I are old, and practicing again is like that." But you have to practice hard. Then he muttered, "It turns out that Master didn't lie to me......"

After speaking, he seemed to have made some kind of determination, but he stood up and said to Lu Yanning: "You sit here for a while, and I'll come when I go." ”

Although Lu Yanning didn't know what the third uncle wanted to do, he nodded obediently: "Okay, third uncle, you are busy first." ”

The third uncle turned around and went upstairs, and came down after a while.

When he went up, the third uncle was empty-handed, but when he came down, he took a notebook, a thin yellowed notebook.

The third uncle walked up to Lu Yanning, handed over the notebook in his hand, and said, "Even if you have practiced true qi, then this will be passed on to you, and it will not be buried." ”

Lu Yanning took the notebook, but found that the notebook was made of ordinary kraft paper, the size was no more than the size of a palm, and the yellowed cover was blank and there was no writing.
