Chapter 52: A Trip to the Han River

Wang Jing said goodbye to Zhang Cuishan and thought to himself: "It's better for Zhang Wuji to let him suffer a little, this kid is too inexperienced, and he won't grow up without experience." As for Zhou Zhiruo, it's a pity in the original book, let's save it. ”

Wang Jing made up his mind and headed in the direction of Hanshui. He was penniless at this time, and some ruffians and hooligans along the road, rich and unkind landlords, were poured blood mold. Those who did too much evil were directly sent to see the king of Hades by Wang Jing, and those who did not do much evil were looted by Wang Jing and threatened. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people's life was not easy, and Wang Jing distributed the robbed silver taels to the suffering people from time to time, but won some good reputation. When I passed by, I saw a blacksmith shop and made a long sword.

Soon, Wang Jing came to the bank of the Hanshui River, at this time the natural environment was not destroyed, the river water was crystal clear, the green mountains and green trees on both sides of the river, the scenery was beautiful. Tang dynasty Du Mu Shiyun: "The white gulls fly in the dissolving and rippling water, and the green and clean spring is deep and good for dyeing clothes." People from the south to the north grow old, and the sunset sends the fishing boat back. "It depicts the spring scenery of the Han River and the scene of the ferry carrying pedestrians from the north and south.

Wang Jingxin said: "In the original book, Zhou Zhiruo's father is a boatman in Hanshui, who makes a living by ferrying and fishing, so it should be easy to find. He stood by the Hanshui River, looked into the river, and sure enough, he saw a small boat in the river.

The captain of the boat had sharp eyes and saw a man in white standing by the river, holding a sword, and his bearing was extraordinary. He shouted from afar: "Childe, but do you want a ferry?"

Wang Jing responded: "Exactly!"

The captain replied, "Okay, boy, wait a moment!" and then rocked the boat.

When he got closer, Wang Jing jumped and jumped onto the boat. I saw that the captain was carrying a cloak on his back, dressed in coarse cloth, and had a piece of wood pulp in his hand. A little girl in the cabin was looking at him, her eyes were full of curiosity, Wang Jing was stunned, and reacted, it must have been him who jumped just now, ordinary people can't jump so far. The little girl was about nine years old, dressed in tattered clothes, barefoot, and although she was a poor girl from the boat family, she had a beautiful face and was a stunning beauty.

Wang Jing said secretly: "I think it's them!" and asked, "I don't know what the old man is called?" Is it your daughter in the cabin?"

The captain replied: "Son, polite, call me Lao Zhou! This is the little girl Zhiruo." I don't know your surname?"

Wang Jing smiled: "Under Wang Jing!"

Lao Zhou replied: "Wang Gongzi go into the cabin and sit, and I will row to the other side." ”

When Wang Jing heard this, he went into the cabin, and Zhou Zhiruo was not timid, moved a stool, and said crisply: "Big brother, you sit!" Wang Jing took it and said, "Thank you, Sister Zhiruo!"

Zhou Zhiruo turned around, took out a few lotus seeds, and asked with a smile: "Big brother, here are the lotus seeds I picked, do you want to eat them?"

Wang Jing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll try it." After speaking, he pinched one, flicked his fingers, and flicked it straight into his mouth, only to feel that his mouth was full of fragrance and comfort. Wang Jing has the intention to show off, so as to find someone to teach Zhou Zhiruo martial arts. But I don't know that although Zhou Zhiruo is young, she is a small ghost, at this time the years are not very peaceful, life is not easy, Zhou Zhiruo follows Lao Zhou all the year round, how can she not hear about the martial arts master flying around, and her heart yearns for it, hoping to learn the ability to reduce the burden of Lao Zhou.

Zhou Zhiruo saw that Wang Jingfei was on the boat, and he had an extraordinary bearing, a handsome face, and was envious, so he took out the lotus seeds and replaced them with other people, but he didn't have this treatment. These Wang Jing don't know, where they can be seen, appearance is very important, and the first impression is good.

Wang Jing Chunchun induced: "Sister Zhiruo, do you want to learn martial arts? Once you learn it, you can be like me!"

Zhou Zhiruo was very happy in her heart, but she looked at her father-in-law, Lao Zhou: "Dad, this big brother said that he wanted to teach me martial arts, okay?"

Lao Zhou was holding the boat, and he didn't notice the exchange between Wang Jing and Zhou Zhiruo for a while, and said happily when he heard it: "Thank you so much, Gongzi, now the world is not peaceful, and if you learn martial arts, Zhiruo will have the power to protect herself." ”

Wang Jing replied: "Lao Zhou is polite, Zhiruo's bones are strange, she is a good billet for practicing martial arts, and with such a good physique, I can't bear to let her go wasted." ”

After a while, Lao Zhou rowed the boat to the opposite shore. Wang Jing took Zhou Zhiruo off the boat and taught her to practice martial arts, but Lao Zhou continued to row the ferry.

On the shore, Wang Jing asked, "Zhiruo, can you read?" Zhou Zhiruo replied: "I don't know." Wang Jing was helpless, so he began to teach Zhou Zhiruo to read and break words, he had no pen and paper at this time, fortunately there was sand on the shore, so he wrote the three big characters of "Zhou Zhiruo" on the sand and told Zhou Zhiruo that this was her name.

Zhou Zhiruo asked again: "Big brother, how do you write your name?" Wang Jing heard this, and wrote the two big characters "Wang Jing" next to him. Zhou Zhiruo firmly remembered that these five words were the first she knew, and she also remembered them for a lifetime, but they were later words.

In this way, Wang Jing taught Zhou Zhiruo the Three Character Sutra, the Sun and Moon Xuanhuang and so on one by one according to the methods of later generations, Zhou Zhiruo was very smart, but in just a few days, he mastered the approximation. After Zhou Zhiruo became literate, Wang Jing taught the human body's veins, acupoints, dantian and other knowledge one by one. Wang Jing is a modern person who thinks, and Zhou Zhiruo is a nine-year-old child, so he doesn't take it to heart. Zhou Zhiruo didn't think so, and said secretly: "Big brother is really ashamed! When I grow up, I will only marry my big brother!" Thinking about it, there was still some sweetness in her heart.

After half a month, Zhou Zhiruo's learning progress was fast, and Wang Jing began to teach her Huashan's basic internal skills and basic swordsmanship. Wang Jing himself stepped up his cultivation of internal strength in order to restore his strength. Zhou Zhiruo was young, Wang Jing sharpened a wooden sword for her, and the two danced swords on the shore, using Huashan swordsmanship one by one. At the meridian hour, the two of them meditated and practiced internal strength. Lao Zhou ferries every day, and by the way, he sends meals to the two, and when he sees that the two of them teach and learn, they are both very serious, so he didn't bother.

After another half a month, Wang Jing calculated the time, it was almost time for Zhang Zhenren to be 100 years old, and his own internal strength had also recovered about 30%. Although Zhou Zhiruo is smart, after all, she is young, and she is strong in remembering swordsmanship moves and internal power running routes.

Wang Jing told Lao Zhou and Zhou Zhiruo about going to Wudang Mountain to celebrate Zhang Zhenren's birthday, Zhang Zhenren was very famous at this time, similar to the kind of living immortals, Lao Zhou couldn't wait to see him, so he entrusted Wang Jing to take Zhou Zhiruo, Zhou Zhiruo was also curious, looking at Wang Jing expectantly, for fear that Wang Jing would not agree.

Wang Jing said secretly: "It's okay to take her to see the world, with my skills at this time, there is no problem in protecting Zhou Zhiruo." ”

Zhou Zhiruo was too young to walk for a long time, so Wang Jing gave dozens of taels of silver to Lao Zhou to buy a carriage. Wang Jing remembered that the Yuan soldiers chased and killed Chang Yuchun in the original book, and he was afraid that it would affect the pond fish. He also told Lao Zhou that there would be soldiers coming to kill him in the near future, and let Lao Zhou go back to the surrounding villages to hide for a few months, but Lao Zhou agreed not to mention it.

Wang Jing drove the carriage and took Zhou Zhiruo to Wudang.
