Chapter 63: My Hometown
Fang Zhongjin listened to this young man's words, and secretly laughed in his heart. It turned out that he saw his technique of throwing copper coins, and he was envious in his heart and wanted to learn this kung fu.
His internal skills were taught by the painting idiot, and he once made a promise to him that he would not pass it on to others. But this secret weapon technique was taught by Zhenyangzi in the stone cave, and he didn't say that it should not be passed on. What's more, no matter how exquisite the secret weapon technique is, if it is not assisted by internal force, it will be a showmanship after all, without the slightest lethality.
He looked at the young man and said, "Little brother, do you know what you're talking about? You just said that the village of the dead is very dangerous and evil, and it is not a place where we ordinary people should go. ”
The young man hurriedly said, "Master, you can call me Axiang." My name is Chen Wuxiang. It's not the fragrance of the girls, nor the spiced tea eggs. ”
Fang Zhongjin shook his head and waved his hands when he saw what he said, and he was about to sweat. It seems that he has suffered a lot of grievances for this name. Fang Zhongjin smiled slightly and said, "This place of peace is my hometown. Is your name from Su Shi's words? It's really a good name, so do you have a sister named Chen Qingliang?"
When Ah Xiang heard this, he showed even more admiration. You must know that since he was a child, who would not laugh at him when he heard his name? To this day, he is still nicknamed "tea egg" in his home village. He exaggerated his thumbs up and said, "Master should not only be both civil and military, but also clever. My sister's name is indeed Chen Qingliang. It's all my father's name. ”
Fang Zhongjin read slowly: "I often envy the jade lang in the world, and the sky should beg and make a little crisp." The wind rises, and the snow flies and the sea becomes cool. The year after returning thousands of miles is getting younger, smiling, and smiling with the fragrance of Lingmei. I asked if Lingnan should be good? But he said: This place of peace of mind is my hometown. This is Su Shi's "Fixing the Storm and Constantly Envy the Jade Lang in the World". ”
He thought in his heart, seeing that this child was dressed like an ordinary boy in the mountains, but it was rare to give birth to a pair of delicate and agile skins. His father gave him such a name, and it was obvious that he could not be an ordinary villager. And what he wants to express through this poem is to comfort himself with what he encounters, and to regard this Eagle Head Mountain as his hometown. It seems that the father of this child is not a native of this area. I don't know why it took root here, but he always has his own twists and turns.
Fang Zhongjin said solemnly to Chen Wuxiang: "First, I am not your master. Second, if this secret weapon technique does not contain internal force, it is just a beautiful move, and at most it will bluff ordinary people who don't know martial arts. Thirdly, it is impossible for me to teach you my internal strength. Would you like to take us there?"
Ah Xiang listened to Fang Zhongjin's rhetoric, his face first stiffened, and then he returned to a smile and said, "Okay, big brother." Teach me this trick. I'll take you to the village of the dead, okay?" What he thought in his heart was, with me being so smart, if I followed this hero to the death, would there be such a thing as not being able to learn kung fu?
The reason why he wanted to get out of his house and go down the mountain to find an errand envoy was to be able to save money to cover the travel expenses so that he could leave this Eagle Head Mountain. He was clever since he was a child, and whatever his father taught him was a quick succession. But if he was pestering his father to teach him something else, he was always sent away at will. He observed for himself that his family of three — his father, his sister, and himself — were very different from the villagers around him. Others, young and old, are coarse-skinned and lazy, and they have to say some meat words from time to time. And the people in his own family always remain white and pure, and their conversation is also elegant. Although their family and other villagers are doing similar work and eating similar meals. But little Chen Wuxiang has always been convinced in his heart that he does not belong here. He also used to pester his father to ask questions, and when he grew up, he also learned to knock on the side. But his father always replied to him while doing his work lightly: "Ah Xiang, I have been a villager in this mountain all my life." But if you really want to go out and see, as long as you have saved enough money for your own ideas, then go ahead. ”
His father didn't know that Ah Xiang's wish was not only to leave the mountain village and go out, but also to worship a famous teacher and become a generation of heroes. For this dream, he has been working in the dumb uncle for more than two years, and has saved a full eighteen taels of silver. He counted his copper coins every day, and he sighed. His sister Chen Qingliang would laugh at him on the side and said, "If you still don't have enough money to go out before you are thirty years old." You can just use this money to ask for a daughter-in-law. ”
Ah Xiang always shook his head fiercely when he heard this, the girls in the nearby villages saw that they were all green like hungry wolves, and he really couldn't look down on any of them. He had already decided in his heart that he would never want these noisy little girls. He must always find a strong, resolute, and calm woman in this life, and never a silly chick who loves to cry and laugh. Well, the future lady is about the same as her own sister.
Fang Zhongjin waved his hand in front of Chen Wuxiang's eyes, pulled back Ah Xiang, who had already been in the sky, and asked, "You just said that this road is extremely dangerous, and it is a cliff and a cave. You're young, aren't you afraid?"
Ah Xiang pointed to the deer and said, "You are willing to bring such a little girl, what can't I bring?"
Hearing this, Lu Er rolled his eyes angrily, and for some reason this kid always belittled and excluded himself in his words. She looks like a cute girl now, and anyone who sees her smiles and grins. It's not that she boasts, although she is not a bee and butterfly, but she is also a flower that makes everyone's eyes shine. It's the first time to be squeezed out by a hairy boy like this.
Fang Zhongjin was also happy when he heard this, and said to Ah Xiang: "Okay, if you just want to learn how to throw copper coins, I can teach you." ”
Ah Xiang hurriedly said, "Thank you, master." "A big flower bloomed on his face.
Fang Zhongjin shook his head and said, "You have done me such a great favor, and the road is so difficult. Teaching you how to throw a copper coin with one hand is that I took advantage of it. You don't have to thank me. ”
Ah Xiang was overjoyed in his heart, and he didn't distinguish between those who had and didn't. He turned his head and gestured to the mute. When the dumb man saw this, he waved his hand at him, as if to say to him: Go. He looked after the flames in the furnace to himself. This calm and indifferent, but like a real hidden master.
Ah Xiang turned around and said to Fang Zhongjin: "Master, I took a leave of absence." Let's prepare more dry food and water, let's go. ”
Lu Erqi said: "I have always carried dry food and drinking water, do I need to prepare again?"
Ah Xiang squinted his eyes and looked at Lu'er with disdain, and said, "How can you bring enough for the three of us to eat and drink? Once you eat it all, do you dare to ask people for food in the dead man's village? Maybe the food in the dead man's village has been poisoned, but I don't have the courage to eat it." ”
Lu'er snorted, and said in her heart: I am older than you, so I don't want to be honest with you. Turning his head to Fang Zhongjin and said, "Okay, look at what we eat, we can still run away a bar king after eating." ”
