Chapter VII
Day 10 here.
I woke up early in the morning, and according to the habit of the previous days, I had to wait at least half an hour to get up, and I heard the sound of many people outside the door, and I felt strange, so I got up, and after dressing up, I gently pushed the door to look at the yard.
It wasn't quite dawn yet, but I could still tell the people in the yard.
Uncle Cheng took Li Meinu, Ah Hu and the young Xiao Wang to practice boxing in the courtyard, and I didn't know what to practice when I saw the boxing road, but everyone practiced in an orderly manner.
I was very puzzled in my heart, judging from Ah Hu's very adult appearance, it was normal to speculate that they would do martial arts, but I really didn't expect Li Meinu to do the same, and judging from her boxing posture, martial arts are not weak.
Such a beautiful woman doesn't have a husband, she doesn't even have a good look, her parents are unknown, her assets are N0,000, and she knows martial arts! What kind of person will it be, I tried my best to use my brain to analyze the opinions of the ancients I used to watch on TV, and there was no answer.
Thinking of this, I wondered again, since they wanted to hide the secret of not knowing martial arts, why did they practice in the courtyard, and didn't find a place where no one would find out? Could it be that they deliberately let me find out in the courtyard?
What's the purpose of this? Is it to test me, or am I thinking too much about myself, they have been practicing here all along, but they haven't practiced for a few days since I came, and now they are practicing again?
I don't know why I have so many thoughts in my heart, I always feel that after I came to this era, my whole person has begun to change, I used to be by my parents' side, I was used to being pampered by my parents, I didn't have anything to worry about from childhood to adulthood, I didn't even know how to cook, and now I became a little suspicious.
But can I still live happily as before in this environment? Thinking about this, I can't help but cry, I miss my parents, I'm afraid I'll never see them again.
At this moment, I can't be coquettish to anyone, and I can't rely on others, I have to have my own independent thinking ability.
I wiped away my tears and told myself to be strong.
At this time, the people in the courtyard had stopped practicing boxing, and they were all sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, and Uncle Cheng whispered some boxing essentials, and showed some movements when necessary.
I've been thinking about coming here for so many days, it's time to show my determination, it seems that Li Meinu and they shouldn't be a group of bad people, I have to rely on them in my future life, I can't just let them be treated as a guest or be suspected by Uncle Cheng all the time. I have to join them, join their lives and society.
Here, too, I am an ancient man!
Once I had thought about it, I pushed the door open and walked towards them.
It was as if they all knew I was going, and no one looked surprised.
"Sister Qin, why don't you sleep anymore, let's wake you up. Li Meinu was sweating on her face, but her voice was still so good.
I smiled and sat next to Li Meinu, Uncle Cheng stopped the drill and looked at me with his eyes, but his eyes were not as sharp as before, and I didn't feel afraid.
"Sister Ting, I really didn't expect you to know martial arts, can you teach me in the future?"
I said it very sincerely, and I really want to practice with them, so that I can learn some self-defense skills, and secondly, I can enhance my relationship with them, and no matter what they think of me, as long as I express my views truthfully, sooner or later they will know me as a person and trust me.
"Miss Qin, don't you know, the government prohibits ordinary people from practicing martial arts, and now the world has just decided, Emperor Hongwu emphasizes agriculture and light martial arts, and once he finds that the common people practice martial arts, they will all be beaten with a cane 30. Aren't you afraid?" asked Uncle Cheng.
I didn't think much of it and said:
"You are not afraid, what do I have to be afraid of, Sister Ting treats me as my own sister, you will be my relatives in the future, no matter what you do, I will participate. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Hu laughed:
"Haha, Uncle Cheng, I'll win, I'll look at Miss Qin, it's not bad, it's good. ”
Li Meinu also smiled and nodded to Uncle Cheng.
"Okay, in the future, you will be my fourth apprentice Li Jiancheng, and I have come to see a few of your senior sisters, senior brothers. ”
I hurriedly got up, I saw a lot of scenes of the ancients accepting apprentices on TV, always kneeling and holding a cup of tea, but now there is no tea, and there is no intention of letting me kneel, so I don't care so much, let's follow Uncle Cheng's meaning first.
"This is the senior sister, Li Yuting, the second senior brother Zhang Hu, and the third senior brother Wang Zhi. ”
These three people and I have long been familiar with each other, and everyone doesn't have so much etiquette, so I called them one by one, and the three of them were very happy, especially Zhang Hu.
"Master, please accept my worship. "I thought about it, let's pay homage to Uncle Cheng's old man according to the plot of TV.
Uncle Cheng held me with one hand, and with a little force, straightened me and didn't let me kneel down.
"You don't have to be polite, let Yuting tell you some of the rules of your sect when you're free, and then let her teach you some basic boxing first, and call me master when you practice martial arts in the future, and call me Uncle Cheng at other times." ”
Sect?
Although I was glad that they accepted me, I was confused about what sect I had added, and I didn't even know the name of it, and I didn't know what the purpose of this sect was.
But do I still have a choice?
The most important thing right now is that I have to integrate with them first, and then I will talk about the rest of the time.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the sound of pedestrians talking outside the courtyard was coming one after another, and the hotel had to start opening.
Nothing else happened during the day.
In the evening, after dinner, Li Meimei called me to her bedroom.
Manager Li's room is slightly larger than mine, the decoration is not much different, but there is a landscape painting hanging on the wall, the painting is very beautiful, the handwriting is very sloppy, I can't recognize whose work it is, I think this painting can be brought to the modern era, no matter how much it is worth a lot of money.
In the middle of the room, there was also a small mahogany table, on which was placed a vase, and a bouquet of flowers was inserted, and the fragrance of flowers permeated the whole room, and it smelled very pleasant.
After I sat down, Li Meinu hurriedly closed the door, then walked to a cabinet in the corner, opened the cabinet door and found something.
After a while, Manager Li came over with a somewhat shabby book in her hand, and she put the book in front of me and sat down again.
"Sister Qin, this is a secret book of boxing, and it is also a kind of martial arts taught by Uncle Cheng, the name is Chengquan, he combines Shaolin Changquan and Wudang boxing, and he is still very famous in the rivers and lakes. ”
I picked up the book and eagerly flipped through it, the book was bound with threads, the pages were yellowed, and there were a lot of illustrations and essentials of boxing in it, and the characters were all in traditional Chinese, and I still recognized them roughly.
"You have to listen carefully to what I say next,"
Li Meinu motioned for me not to read the book and listen to her, I closed the book and listened to what she said.
"Our sect was established 20 years ago, called Tianlimen, and now there are a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, Uncle Cheng is the founder of the sect, and the people who join our sect must have nothing to do with the current court, and they must have a chivalrous heart to punish the strong and help the weak, and they must not bully others, they must not have sneaky and deceptive behaviors, they must not do all the behaviors that insult the sect, they must not collude with foreign gangs, they must not privately teach others the martial arts of their sect, and they must not take the initiative to reveal the identity of the sect to outsiders. There are still many rules, which will be taught to you slowly in the future, and these you must know and follow first. ”
Li Meinu memorized these precepts like a stream, and I didn't remember a few, so I pretended to nod.
I thought to myself, this gang is still a secret underground organization, not allowed to reveal their identities to others, no wonder a group of people came here to open a store, and there are so many strangers coming and going at night, according to what she said for 20 years, 100 people a year and at least 2,000 people in 20 years, that is, to open a chain of small supermarkets, this person is enough to open more than 300.
But I should be able to do all of this, and I don't have a few excessive requirements.
"Senior sister, I will definitely do it, but what is the purpose of our sect, let's fight for a martial arts alliance leader in the future. ”
"You still call me Sister Ting, it's awkward to call Senior Sister, you practice this set of boxing by yourself first, if you don't understand anything, just ask me. ”
"Oh yes. ”
After saying that, I left the room, went to my bedroom, opened the book, and practiced accordingly.
