Chapter 9 A Blessing in Disguise
On the other side, Lao Qian helped Lin Yuanqing back to the dormitory, and after taking off his blood-stained pants for him, he ran out to grab medicine for him, and Lin Yuanqing didn't dare to move his bare butt lying on the bed.
At this time, Hong Er poked his head out of the door and swaggered in, before Lin Yuanqing could say hello, the wooden knife in Hong Er's hand smashed firmly on his buttocks, and this time Lin Yuanqing seemed to feel that his soul was beaten out of the flesh, and his painful body was arched.
Hong Er smiled and said, "I heard that you kid is a hero?"
Lin Yuanqing slowed down for a long time before he recovered, and said weakly: "I was almost killed." β
"Waste! It's my Tang Sect disciple, it's so unbearable. β
"Master, don't talk about the wind and cold, two hundred and fifty canes are punished, even if you come to the heavens, you can't bear it. β
"I haven't seen the world, the highest mental method of my Tang Sect's internal strength is 'Ming Yu Jue', those who have learned this internal strength are not afraid of fire and water, and they are not invaded by poisons, and the punishment of only 250 canes is enough to worry about. β
"It's like you've practiced it. Lin Yuanqing carefully rubbed the few intact areas left on his buttocks, and muttered quietly.
"Hey, you kid! I haven't eaten pork or seen a pig run away, white-eyed wolf. After Hong Er finished speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, mysteriously brought it to Lin Yuanqing, and whispered to him: "Look, haven't you heard that you are injured, I brought you the healing medicine of this sect, as long as it is applied to the wound, within three days, you will be able to jump alive." β
"Wow! Lin Yuanqing immediately came to his senses after hearing this.
He only watched Hong Er pour out a handful of gray powder from the bottle and sprinkle it on his wound, feeling a slight stinging pain in the place where the powder was sprinkled, accompanied by a slight burning sensation.
"Master, what kind of medicine are you? Why is it spicy? Could it be that you took it wrong?" Lin Yuanqing's face slowly changed from excitement to worry.
This bottle of medicine was given to me by my master on the day of his accident, and I always carry it with me. β
"Is that broken?"
"Uh... No way, don't think about it, I've used it before when I've been injured, but I don't feel like you said. β
"Then why am I getting more and more pain?"
"Maybe the injury is not the same, and the feeling is different. After Hong Er finished speaking, he impatiently sprinkled some medicine on Lin Yuanqing's wound.
At this time, Mr. Zhu pushed the door in, saw Lin Yuanqing's appearance, coughed, and said, "Brother Lin, are you okay?"
Lin Yuanqing saw that it was Mr. Zhu and wanted to stand up, but Mr. Zhu hurriedly signaled that he didn't need to stand up, just lie on his stomach.
Mr. Lao was worried, Yuan Qing's body was quite tough and he could stand it, but he was tired of Brother Qian, and he couldn't go away. β
Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "Hehe, the little brother is really righteous, don't worry, the general said yes, he won't pursue your brother Qian." β
"That's good, thank you sir, I'll leave when I can walk around in a few days, please rest assured, sir. β
"This is not in a hurry, the little brother will recuperate from his injuries first, and when the injuries are healed, go and see the general, he said that he has something to ask you. β
"The general has something to ask me?" Lin Yuanqing said puzzled.
"Well, I don't know the specifics, but it shouldn't be a bad thing. Mr. Zhu took out a porcelain bottle that was the same as Hong Er's hand and handed it to Hong Er, and said, "Then I won't bother, this is a golden medicine, it is very effective in treating external injuries, you can try it." β
Lin Yuanqing looked at the two porcelain vases that were the same in Hong Er's middle school, and then looked at the embarrassment on Hong Er's face, and suddenly understood, and said, "Thank you Mr. for the medicine, Yuanqing is unable to move, and Mr. walks slowly." β
Mr. Zhu nodded, turned around and walked out, as if he remembered something when he walked to the door, he turned his head and said to the two of them: "Oh, little brother, the golden medicine on your wound has expired, and if you don't dispose of it in time, you may have rotten sores in the future." β
"Huh?!"
"Uh... β
After Mr. Zhu finished speaking, he walked out, leaving only Lin Yuanqing, who was stunned, and Hong Er, who was full of embarrassment.
Lin Yuanqing raised his head hard and stared at Hong Er.
Hong Er immediately turned his head to look away and stood up, smiling dryly, muttering in his mouth: "Hahaha, where is your basin? I'll go get a basin of water for you, Mr. Zhu said that if you don't deal with it in time, you will get rotten sores in the future." He ran out as fast as he could.
When everything was finished, Lin Yuanqing felt that he couldn't open his face and eyes.
Hong Er sat next to him and wiped his hands and said, "Hey, Yuan Qing, this Mr. Zhu is very attentive to you, this golden medicine is not cheap, a whole bottle is given to you." β
Lin Yuanqing was angry when he heard this, struggled to support his entire body with his arms, gritted his teeth and said, "Master, you are embarrassed to mention it, didn't you say that this is the Tang Sect healing elixir? β
"Hehe, this is a psychological hint, so your injury will heal faster, and I didn't lie to you, this is indeed what my master gave me back then. β
"Then can't you take a look at it first?"
"How do I know that it will be bad if it is put for a long time, the average martial arts person has suffered an external injury, and the smaller injury will find a place where no one will use the internal strength to treat himself, and the big injuries are sprinkled on the wound bottle by bottle, who cares how long it can be placed, I was injured before I sprinkled a small half bottle, which is still left at that time. β
Lin Yuanqing was powerless to refute after hearing this, and lay down softly, and then suddenly said: "Eh, master, you said that General Chen has something to tell me, what is the matter?"
"Mr. Zhu has said it, it shouldn't be a bad thing, then don't worry, you, it's better to recuperate, after you leave, I will go to see you if I have the chance." After Hong Er finished speaking, he took out a book from his arms and handed it to Lin Yuanqing.
Lin Yuanqing looked fixedly, the three big characters "Classic of Mountains and Seas" on the cover of the book, and looked at Hong Er with a confused expression.
Hong Erlang said: "It's not because it's inconvenient for you to move around during this time, so you can read books to relieve boredom, and my martial arts practitioners must practice both inside and outside, in case you can't mix in the rivers and lakes one day, you can also go to a private school to teach." β
"Which private school will teach the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas'... β
"Shut up!"
Jin Chuangyao and internal force coordinated with each other, and within a few days, Lin Yuanqing's injuries were mostly healed, and on this day, Lin Yuanqing packed his backpack and went to meet Lao Qian.
When I went to look for Hong Er, I didn't see anyone, but I saw that Hong Er left him a short knife and a note, and the note had four words on it: "Practice diligently".
Lin Yuanqing saw a small "Tang" character at the bottom of the handle, and said softly: "Master Xie." Then he put the knife in his knapsack.
He came to the door of General Chen's house, saw that the door was locked, and stood at the door to wait, two hours passed, the door of the courtyard was pushed open, General Chen and Mr. Zhu came in front and back, Lin Yuanqing hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "General, Lin Yuanqing's injury has recovered, I heard that Mr. said that you have something to ask me." β
General Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Come into the house and say." β
Lin Yuanqing followed the two into the house, and after General Chen and Mr. Zhu sat down, they saw him standing at the door, pointed at him, and said with a smile: "Little brother don't have to be restrained, come, sit down and say." β
"The villain doesn't dare, I don't know why the general called the villain?"
General Chen glanced at Mr. Zhu and made a gesture of please, Mr. Zhu clenched his fists and said, "I heard that the little brother worshipped Hong Wu as a teacher, right?"
"This... I don't know what Mr. means?" Lin Yuanqing asked with a puzzled expression.
"Hehe, I don't mean anything else, it's just chatting, Hong Wu is a master of the Tang Sect and has a good martial arts, I don't know how much the little brother learned from him?"
"The villain is stupid, Master Meng does not give up, and teaches me martial arts, but the villain only learns from the master, and has not learned from others, so he doesn't know his own catties. β
"Oh, Zhu has always admired people in the martial arts, but he doesn't know much, I wonder if the little brother can show us a hand or two?"
"Uh... And the villain made a fool of himself. Lin Yuanqing unpacked his bag, walked to the table and picked up a teacup, poured half a cup of water into it, and the luck in his hand, within a moment, there was already heat in the cup, he put the cup down, hugged his fists towards Mr. Zhu and General Chen and asked: "The villain is not good at learning, and he is afraid of embarrassing the master, so he only shows his most skilled internal skills." β
Mr. Zhu stroked his palms and smiled: "Little Brother Lin is modest, your 'Ming Jade Technique' is very pure, has Little Brother really only cultivated for half a year?"
Lin Yuanqing was stunned for a moment and said: "What I practice is only the ordinary internal strength heart method that the beginner disciples of the Tang Sect Outer Hall will practice, my master said that he doesn't even have a name, and the high-level internal strength heart method of 'Ming Yu Jue' is only qualified to practice by the disciples of the Tang Sect Inner Hall." β
Mr. Zhu was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "Yes, yes, I am a contemptible talent, and I showed my feet in front of the little brother, hahaha." β
Lin Yuanqing hurriedly clenched his fists: "Mr. said he was laughing." β
Mr. Zhu waved his hand and said, "Then I don't know why my little brother joined the army? I remember that when I was conscripted, I said that he had voluntarily enlisted in the army, just to protect his family and defend the country?"
Lin Yuanqing blushed and said: "I used to be naΓ―ve, I wanted to get ahead, I wanted to be a hero or a hero, and defending the country was secondary. β
General Chen said at this time: "Chen has a straight personality and has something to say, Little Brother Lin doesn't know if he is willing to join my Chen family's personal army?"
Lin Yuanqing was surprised: "General Chen, you mean that I can become your personal soldier?"
General Chen said slowly: "Yes, the Liang State has committed me, this battle has caused heavy losses to the defenders of our city, including my own soldiers, although there is no battle to fight now, but I don't know which country will attack it in the future, so our army is now lacking loyal, benevolent, and capable people like Xiao Ge." β
"Then since the general knows my master, why don't you let him come too?"
"Chief Hong, I also looked for him, but he said that he had no ambitions, and he was only willing to be a captain, and I couldn't force it. β
Lin Yuanqing was silent, not because he was unwilling, but because the news was too sudden, which made his mind very confused for a while.
Mr. Zhu interjected at this time: "Brother Lin, there are many types of heroes, some are thousands of people and go to me, some are to protect the family and defend the country, and some are to eliminate harm for the people. β
Lin Yuanqing is honest by nature, and he doesn't have too many hearts, when he meets a lobbyist like Mr. Zhu, he has already been said to be enthusiastic, and he clenched his fists excitedly, and said: "Yuanqing is willing to serve the general!
General Chen looked relieved, got up and patted Lin Yuanqing on the shoulder, and said, "Okay! Yuanqing, do a good job, someone Chen will not treat you badly." β
After speaking, he asked Mr. Zhu to take him to report to the place where his soldiers were, and by the way, he was given a few days off, so that he could go home to recuperate, and come back when his injuries were completely healed.
After Lin Yuanqing went back, Lao Zhang was very happy to learn about this, and also asked him to work hard, and in this way, Lin Yuanqing became General Chen's personal soldier.
Little did he know that something that could change his fate awaited him in front of his seemingly bright future.
