Chapter 2: A First Glimpse (2)
Chen Zhaoling was also a person with great status, and he was a well-known role in the rivers and lakes back then, how could he obey a small county order now, he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, and said: "This surnamed An made a county order at a young age, he must have some big backer, he thinks he is sorry, and he doesn't eat him!" Everyone praised when they heard this, Zhou Fang and Zhang Wentai scolded An Qingxu even more, just when Gu Daihui coughed, and said softly: "Old Chen is right, do you know who this An Qingxu is?" Everyone shook their heads, and Chen Zhaoling said, "Please ask Madame for advice." Gu Daihui didn't say a word, only to see Li Shi take a step forward, and said solemnly: "I don't dare to give advice, this An Qingxu's father is named An Lushan, and he is the envoy of Fanyang and Pinglu, and he can be said to be the most powerful Hu person today." After speaking, he took a step back, Gu Daihui nodded, and continued: "An Qingxu was injured by Chen Lao, and he can still deign to be encircled, it can be seen that this person is thirsty for talent, and he is really not an ordinary person!" Chen Zhaoling said suddenly: "No wonder the two poisons in the 'Three Poisons of Heihe' are willing to be driven by it, it turns out that Lao Tzu is powerful, but unfortunately this An Qingxu has no character and no virtue, how can a talented person be used for it!" he shook his head as he spoke, ignoring the crowd, and went into the house alone, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
An Qingxu wanted to win over Chen Zhaoling, but there was always no hostility, Liu Xiancheng came over every three or five days, and each time he brought some rare treasures, Chen Zhaoling not only confiscated them, but also returned the ginseng! Gradually, Liu Xiancheng came less, and everyone didn't know if An Qingxu had lost his patience or made another plan.
More than a month has passed, Chen Zhaoling's body is getting better day by day, in addition to Zhou Qinglan serving tea and pouring water for him on weekdays, Zhang Wentai also walks around. The neighbors on the left and right felt strange, in the past, Zhang Wentai often did some farm work in the field, occasionally collected firewood, and lived a simple life, but these days suddenly stayed at Li Wenshan's house every day. Outsiders don't know why, but Chen Zhaoling knows that Zhang Wentai blushes every time he talks to Zhou Qinglan, and he is unspeakable, sometimes the little girl follows Li Wenshan to Jieshi Mountain to collect medicine, and Zhang Wentai also has to follow. Knowing his son Mo Ruo's mother, Gu Daihui understands better that his stupid son is in love with others.
Zhang Wentai is just twenty, and it is time to start a family, but the family is in the middle, poor, and has no skills, Gu Daihui can't help but sigh when he thinks about it! If you have no talent, even if your own children do not teach each other, Li Wenshan's medical reputation is far and wide, and I don't know how many people want to learn, but this stupid son does not know how to cherish it! Li Shi is smart and clever, and he is the best successor of Li Wenshan, but when Li Shi was born in the early years, his mother died in childbirth, and before he died, he named his son a Shi character, hoping that his son would take a career and be a light lintel. Li Wenshan had great respect for his wife, so he didn't let Li Shi study medicine anymore, and let him study with him, thinking about it, it was really helpless!
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the autumnal equinox. Li Wenshan originally gave Chen Zhaoling an injection once every five days, but later changed it to once every three days, and used herbs to remove blood and regulate it on weekdays, and the recovery was extremely fast. When I woke up early that morning, the leaves were all over the courtyard, and Li Shi was chopping firewood in a corner, and he was busy for half an hour, but he had only chopped for more than ten sections. Chen Zhaoling woke up fine, saw Li Shi panting there, stepped forward and said, "Xiao Shi, you take a break and let me come." Li Shi said: "Uncle Chen, let's come, you can't work, you have to take care of your injuries." Chen Zhaoling has also been taken care of by Li Shi recently, and he likes it very much, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't stop having problems when I rest." Li Shi felt reasonable, and after a little hesitation, he gave the axe to Chen Zhaoling. I saw Chen Zhaoling pick up the axe, gently chop, and I didn't see how to use force, an arm-thick firewood cracked along the axe, and then split these two sections from it, so that after splitting, it has been divided into eight finger-thick branches, even and neat, Li Shi, who was looking directly, applauded, with a look of envy on his face, and said: "Uncle Chen is better than a carpenter, it's really amazing!"
Chen Zhaoling smiled and said: "There is a lot of mystery here, do you want to learn?" Li Shi nodded again and again! Chen Zhaoling smiled and picked up a piece of firewood from the ground: "The powerful person can break it with his bare hands, but to split it from it, and the general thickness has to borrow a knife and axe." The strength is brutal, and it is necessary to use ingenuity. As he spoke, he handed the axe to Li Shi, "You cut twice on this stick, and you have to use the same amount of strength, try it." Li Shi picked up the axe and slashed it twice, but it was not too hard, and after the cut, two axe marks were left on the stick. Chen Zhaoling picked up the wooden stick and said, "Xiao Shi, do you see that these two seals are the same depth?" Li Shi shook his head, and Chen Zhaoling said: "Just now you consciously used almost the same force, but if you think about it carefully, there are still a lot of gaps." So no matter how strong the hand is, the firewood cut out is also uneven. Li Shi realized, and said: "Uncle Chen is saying that the strength of the hand has a size, and you can't do what you want, so how can you cut firewood of general thickness?" Chen Zhaoling said: "With qi, the qi of the dantian, driven by the qi, you can use the state of mind, how big you want, and you can cut out this average size of firewood with your strength." ”
Li Shi came into contact with the way of martial arts for the first time, although he didn't know much about it, but he was very interested, and then asked, "How can I have qi?"
"Inhale and sink in the dantian, both palms and feet of the spring are prepared with the meaning of internal absorption; exhale the dantian after pasting, the meaning of the spring of the labor palace is the most basic qi training. There is no shortcut in this, although it is quiet, but it needs to be practiced every day, the cold and heat are continuous, and the light of the year can be a small success. ”
Although Li Shi is not good at medicine, he has been influenced by Li Wenshan for many years, and he still knows the basic acupoints of the human body. In fact, Chen Zhaoling taught Li Shiwu only to repay Li Wenshan's life-saving grace, and he didn't want to be known, and he had already left when he was successful. Li Shi was a child, thinking that it would be fun to surprise his father one day, so he whispered: "Okay, this is my secret with Uncle Chen, no one will tell me!"
After speaking, the two laughed, and Chen Zhaoling explained some methods of using qi to control power, one old and one young, sometimes chopping firewood in the small courtyard, sometimes making comparisons. Since then, Li Shifang has stepped into the threshold of martial arts.
The autumn wind is bleak, the morning dew is frosty, and winter is coming. On this day, Zhou Fang and Zhou Qinglan said goodbye to everyone, and wanted to go to Qinghe, Hebei, Li Wenshan and others repeatedly retained, Zhou Fang had already decided, and said: "Brother Chen's injury has been healed, the old man is at ease, and Qinglan is not a long-term plan here, it is an honor to meet you!" It's not a secret, the old man has two sons, the eldest son went out to wander when he was young, but he mixed up some fame, the second son is Qinglan her father, has been with me in my hometown, living in poverty, never thought that the second son was infected with a bad habit last year, owed a butt of loan sharks, and was finally forced to death by the creditor. ”
Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they heard this, they didn't expect that there was such a thing in Zhou Fang's family, but they didn't know what to say, Zhou Fang continued: "The old man lost his son with heartache, grief and anger, on the seventh day of the fourth day of the fourth month of April, the old man killed the creditor and avenged his son. But it is still said that he has no way to teach his son, and he has ruined the family style!" Everyone sighed for a while, and Li Wenshan asked: "Brother Zhou went to Qinghe to find your eldest son?"
"Yes, after the old man killed people, he immediately alarmed the government, and there was no place for his hometown. My eldest son has been on an errand in Qinghe County, so he and Qinglan set off overnight, just because he was in a hurry, he was not entangled enough, and he made a living as an artist halfway, and he never wanted to be in Jieshi Town...... Hey, I'm ashamed!" Zhang Wentai scratched his head and said thoughtfully: "I see!" Zhou Fang said again: "There are still many good people in the world, you are old and broken, if my old bones can live for a few more years, I will have time to come here to visit you again!"
Zhang Wentai first saw Zhou Qinglan, he had affection, but he was usually rude, not only could not open his mouth to this love and love, but also a little timid, at this time Zhou Fang wanted to take it away, his heart was reluctant, and said: "Zhou seniors, Qinghe County is thousands of miles away, if you meet a guy like An Xiang again, wouldn't it be dangerous, although we don't have your relatives in Jieshi Town, but they are all warm-hearted and good people, why not settle down here and live for the rest of your life!" Zhou Fang smiled and sighed: " Wentai, your mind is old and understandable, there is no indissoluble feast in the world, if there is a fate, we will definitely meet again, if there is no fate, there is no need to force it! Everyone, there will be a period in the future!" After saying goodbye to everyone, Gu Daihui saw it in his eyes, and he was helpless, and sighed softly!
