Chapter 17: New Friends, New Year

The longer you stay, the more familiar you become with the environment. I never met that big boss Wen Chong again, and Ahua was solely responsible for everything in the freight yard. There are still a lot of young people who were deceived into working in the freight yard, they all said that when they came to report, that is, Ahua asked them to sign, I thought that every new employee had to be seen by Boss Wen to join the company, it turned out that I was the only one, but these people who came later than me really couldn't hold on for a day, and when I wanted to leave, I found out that this was a scam, but it was written clearly in black and white, and the owner of the freight yard, Wen Chong, had a big family and a big business, and there was nowhere to call for injustice, and most of those who did not forgive and had to shout for a refund of money to seek justice were beaten up and then died。 There are only two people left, an older one is called Liu Shitai, we all call him Datai is a very honest and honest person, there are few words, you tease him, he will smile with you, do things seem very solid, you explain the things he will definitely complete very well, although the speed is not fast, but it definitely makes you worry, it is very reassuring to do things with this kind of person, I like to be friends with this kind of person, very simple, no heart, and not worried about being calculated, being used in a deceitful society, it is very rare. Another one who looks about the same age as me is called Ah Long, we asked his real name, he said he didn't know, since he was sensible, everyone called him Ah Long, said that he was abandoned in the village, his village has been in the war for many years, and the biggest difference between them and the nomads is that they don't even have the capital to raise animals, and then he was hit by the war again, and he and the rest of the village were separated, I fell into the order to Youzhou, after all, after so many years of hardship, the ability to survive is naturally much stronger than the average child, and finally saved enough five hundred Wen to move goods to the freight yard, for him has lived a life of a superior person, how can he be willing to give up this hard-won job, like me, I grew up by eating a hundred family meals, the village was along the road to ask for food, when I was a child, I can grow up without getting sick, and I am more intimate than others, follow my ass all day long, Brother Rui shouted, people will naturally feel comfortable after listening to compliments, and the same experience as me, we naturally became very good friends。

With their joining, life is no longer as monotonous as before, chatting with Aaron when he is free, and teasing Datai before going to bed after dinner can be regarded as a taste. The mountain told us that he would not work in the yard for a year, and he would not do it in the yard, he had saved enough two hundred taels of silver to buy a small face to open a grocery store, and asked me if I was interested in going with him to do it, we would enter a store or something like that, it was impossible to get rich and expensive by a small grocery store, but it should be good to mix food and clothing, and the money earned in this yard was more, but after all, it was manual work, and it was unbearable to do more, and for people who had no cultivation or were no longer in their prime, the damage to the body was still great, and it was easy to fall into a disease when they were old, or don't engage in it for a long time。 I naturally raise my hands in favor of this decision of the mountain master, although the conditions of this freight yard are not bad, but the earliest to deceive us, this alone has a very bad impression of me. The credibility of doing business is the most important, and the starting point of the freight yard from the beginning is to eat our hard work, which makes me look down on it. Datai and Ah Long said that we are any one, anyway, they have only two friends in the freight yard from the beginning to the present, we can go wherever we go, anyway, the earliest five hundred wen has already been earned, and everyone is the same wherever they go.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year was spent in the freight yard, and it was rare to give us a five-day vacation, so let's have a good rest. Since it's a break, naturally there are no cooks, and there are no free big fish and meat. The mountain lord said that it was not easy to rest for a few days to take us to visit this Youzhou City, to be honest, it is half a year to come to Youzhou, I really haven't watched this Youzhou City, the earliest time to Youzhou is recuperating, the illness is cured, the meat dragon also left the old dog and has been recuperating in the Jin family, I came out again to go out alone, I went out to the rivers and lakes alone, I went shopping for a day to find something to do, was deceived to the freight yard to do now, usually there is no time to rest in the freight yard at all, except for moving goods, how can there be time to come out to hang out.

After the Chinese New Year, this Youzhou City is not as lively as before, and the market, which is usually full of people, now looks a little depressed.

"Master Shan, why are there fewer people during the Chinese New Year, it is true that there are lights everywhere, but how are there obviously fewer pedestrians on this road than usual, you see that there are not many people buying things in this market, it's just that, how can even the people who sell things feel a lot less." ”

"This is what you don't understand, the customs of the New Year in the land of China are still very important, and the concept of home is also very important. This Youzhou City is notoriously good for its security and city defense, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the land of this Youzhou City is an inch of land. I enlisted in the army for ten years and finally paid for the retirement money in Youzhou to buy that little big house to settle down, where do you say that most of these outsiders can afford to buy a house. And the vast majority of businessmen who are looking for work during the Chinese New Year must go home for reunion, and this Youzhou City will be empty. "Master Shan looked at me with contempt, as if he was laughing at a hillbilly who had just entered the city.

Ah Long shouted on the side, "Old man Shan, can you not look at us every time with the eyes of a city person, you are also an elder, can you be a little elder." No matter what we juniors don't understand, ask you for advice, who do you look down on, you are living more than 20 years longer than us, if I am as old as you, I will definitely live much better than you!"

Shan Ye will look at Ah Long with contempt again, "I gave you a lesson, and I made a mistake? Young people are young people, treat the elders with respect, do you know, Shan Ye, I have never experienced any winds and waves in my life? There are many things you have to learn from Shanye, and I have crossed more bridges than you have walked, understand!"

Datai said vaguely while eating the pancakes: "Master Shan, you have started to brag again, Lord Shan, before you came to the freight yard to move goods, the experience of being a porter on the bridge has become the capital of your life to show off." ”

"Hahahahaha..."

"Hmph, the shaft is not enough to conspiracy!" This mountain master, who hadn't read much books, was so angry that he dragged out a sentence.

We talked and laughed all the way to a square in the center of the city, in the middle of the square, an old man sat cross-legged, there were many young people around him, and he also followed the example of the old man and sat cross-legged, the old man was talking endlessly, the original noisy square seemed very quiet at this time, the young people listened quietly, and there were few people who even exchanged heads and ears.

I opened my mouth and asked, "Master Shan, what is this old man doing?"

Shan Ye obviously hasn't recovered from the embarrassment of being laughed at by us just now, first glanced at me, and then replied: "Most of this old man is a person who has entered the world, and he is preaching the Fa or preaching in this city, if there is a young man who is eye-catching, he will not be included in the door, every time there is this kind of teaching, most of the young people will listen to it, after all, most of the people who can open the altar to preach the Fa can be called masters of cultivation, even if they can't hit the big luck, they can't worship the door, but they can understand one or two, which is quite lucky, and it is enough to benefit people." Saying that you are dirt buns and still don't believe it, it's not that you don't understand anything, and you have to ...... me."

Ah Long pulled me and Da Tai, "Let's go, let's go, let's listen, what a rare opportunity, what a pity to miss it!" In this way, the three of us ran towards the circle around the old man, leaving only the interrupted mountain master alone blowing his beard and staring in place.

We also sat cross-legged at the outskirts of the circle, and began to listen carefully to the old man's teachings, not reluctant to fall behind at all, just like Aaron said, the truly precious learning opportunity is indeed too rare for us young people who have no sect and are eager to improve.

"The gun is said to be a sharpened two-ended wood. These are the words of a great sage in ancient times. Marksmanship is mainly based on blocking, holding and piercing, which is the basic action of marksmanship. The gun should be straight and fast, straight out and straight in, force to reach the tip of the gun, so that the gun pierces the line, the gun is like a hidden dragon out of the water, and the gun is like a tiger into the hole. Also, I'm good at short-handled double hammers, which are very heavy and require a lot of strength to practice. In battle, it is very powerful to smash with a hammer and smash hard. The usage includes shabu, dragging, hanging, smashing, smashing, punching, rushing, cloud, cover, etc. Guns and hammers are two of my favorite weapons, and for those who practice martial arts, they are like the most reliable companions, accompanying you in battle to kill enemies and make achievements for you. I said before that the spear hammer is not to say that these are the two best weapons, but to tell you that the warrior should choose the most suitable weapon for himself, you young monks are not deeply rooted, you should try more weapons, see what is your favorite and most suitable, favorite weapon, then you will be more motivated, more active, and the most suitable weapon fits your own situation, you can better achieve twice the result with half the effort, and progress faster. If it suits you and happens to be your favorite, then of course it is the best, and it is better to specialize in one subject, and it is faster to practice without distraction, and it is naturally handy. ”

Ah Long whispered: "How can this old man be the same as the old man of the mountain, talking nonsense, these people still look intoxicated, do they really hear anything I can't hear, Brother Rui, do you hear anything." ”

I lowered my head and whispered, "I'm afraid I don't know how to be instructed by a layman. Datai, you must not have heard it, did you?"

The big Thai urn said angrily: "What kind of guidance is this, doesn't this tell us to choose our most convenient weapon?"

Da Tai's voice was not deliberately lowered, and all of a sudden, the young people around him turned their heads and looked at us with a sullen face, and even the master looked at Da Tai and smiled, I don't know if he was laughing at Da Tai's ignorance or laughing at Da Tai's words.

I only heard the master suddenly change his words and said: "Do you know the importance of cultivating talent, people with good talent and acquired cultivation may be able to forge their bones in half a step at the beginning of the path, and they will enter the peak threshold in the past ten years, and more people will stop because of talent and opportunities for life, and it is difficult to survive in fitness, so what do you say if the talent is not high and you are dedicated to martial arts?"

As soon as the master's question came out, the scene instantly became silent, and even the people who were still talking with their heads in a low voice before became silent. One by one, they seem to be thinking seriously about this issue.

After about a few breaths, someone kept answering: "Worship the master as a teacher!" "Take Dan and tonify!" "Learn the best secrets!"

The master shook his head while laughing, and when he was about to open his mouth to explain this question, Datai replied very casually, "Since you have been practicing martial arts, why are you thinking about so many other things?" ”

The master suddenly laughed, then stood up, and asked Datai, "Young man, what's your name?" ”

"My name is Da Tai!"

"Are you thirty this year?"

"How is it possible, I just look old, I'm only twenty-four years old this year, how can I be thirty years old when you say it. "Da Tai is very dark and fat, plus his unkempt face has not been cleaned, and he has a big beard, so he looks a lot older, and when I first met Da Tai, I thought he was in his thirties, and when he told us that he was only twenty-four years old, we were all shocked.

"It's because I've lost my eyes, young man, why are you only at the age of twenty-four to have a fourth-level physical cultivation, don't you have any interest in practicing martial arts. ”

"Yes, of course I'm interested in practicing martial arts."

"Then how can you cultivate this way with your roots and heart, dare to ask who you are worshipping into, I want to see what kind of mediocre master can carve such a jade into this appearance. ”

Ah Long couldn't help but talk to me again: "Brother Rui, do you see that this Datai still has good bones?"

"I, how can I see this, I have never seen him practice martial arts, I always thought that he was so solid in moving goods because he had great strength. ”

Over there, Datai replied: "What kind of disciple, I can't even afford to eat, how can anyone still be willing to accept me as an apprentice, it's good to eat every day in order to have a full meal, how can there be any time to practice martial arts." ”

The master laughed for the third time today: "I don't know if you are interested in worshipping under my door, not to mention how far you can go, but I can guarantee you that you can eat enough every day." ”

"Then can you bring my two brothers with you, and the old man in the corner over there, so that they can eat too. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work, cultivation is a personal matter, and I don't have to worry about it, and besides, I'm a monk who has entered the world, so it's impossible to bring such a large group of people with me all the time. ”

Datai arched his hand to the master, "Then thanks to your wrong love, I won't follow you, I am still a brother by my side." ”

There was an uproar, everyone looked at Da Tai in confusion, even Ah Long and I didn't understand, I hurriedly pulled the corner of Da Tai's clothes: "What do you think, what do you think, there are masters who are willing to accept you as apprentices, you don't go, how many people can't ask for it, quickly promise the master to go with him." Ah Long also shouted on the side: "I said Datai, I'm afraid you're going to eat too much and eat stupidly, such a good opportunity is just a good opportunity to worship without bowing your head, why do you refuse like this." ”

Datai shook his head at us vigorously: "This is not what I want at all, I have been thinking about how to calculate me for more than 20 years, and I have a little cheap from me, I finally felt that I had a brother after I finally met you, I will not leave you, what does this master have to do with me." ”

The master was angry and funny, "Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, and fate can't force it, but if you change your mind when you can come to Youzhou Wangfu to find me, I will live there for a while, and when you go to the gatehouse to report the name of Zhong Shui, someone will naturally come to receive you." ”

After that, we started to talk about the development of human potential.

Da Tai stood up straight, "Brother Rui, Along, let's go, anyway, I don't understand, I'm hungry, let's go eat, didn't the old man say that he invited us to a big meal today." ”

Datai insisted on leaving, and we did it, but we didn't understand it anyway, so we got up and said hello to the old man and left the square.
