Encounter (2)
¡°Tuk-tuk-tuk¡dang!¡±
It was late at night, and everything was quiet in Huangzhou City. From a distance, a person came from the other end of the street. I saw this person had a stick hanging a lantern under his arm, a gong in his left hand, and a stick in his right hand, and he was beating all the way. . .
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful with the candle"
Watching the night watch was a very common thing in ancient times. From the capital to the villages and counties, there were basically some people to watch the watch. In most cases, there were local government officials or soldiers who were responsible.
After all, in ancient times, fire was a common and extremely threatening disaster. One family was often on fire, and hundreds of households suffered. Therefore, local magistrates paid great attention to this matter.
¡°Tuk-tuk-tuk¡dang!¡±
As the sound of the gong got closer and closer, the man gradually came closer. Looking at his face, he turned out to be the veteran who had passed by Chen Suan during the day. Although this veteran seemed to be only about forty, he had a mouth. The beard on his side has begun to turn white, showing his age, but surprisingly, there is no trace of aging in his bright eyes.
"Well¡¡"
Standing on the four-character street in Huangzhou City, he glanced at the darkness around him. The veteran sat down on a pile of hay outside a shop, put the lantern under his arm on the ground, and put the gong in his hand on the ground. On the side, he took out a small gourd containing wine from his arms and shook his head, then frowned and put the small gourd back into his arms.
Who is that guy?
The land of Huangzhou projectiles in the area is still in such a strong man
As if remembering what happened during the day, the veteran's eyes shrank and he couldn't help but frown.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out in front of the veteran, a hand holding a wine bottle. This sudden fright made the veteran tremble all over, and then he raised his head and glanced at the man standing in front of him angrily. A guy with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Zhong, look what this is"
Wei Yan, who had met Chen Suan during the day, was seen shaking the wine bottle in his hand with a smile. He seemed to be very interested in watching the old man in front of him when he was aroused by alcohol addiction.
"You brat!" The veteran, known as Uncle Zhong, snatched it away angrily and amusedly. He couldn't help but pour it into his mouth and took a few sips. Then he spit out the smell of alcohol and showed a satisfied look.
"By the way, Uncle Zhong, what were you thinking when I saw you so distracted just now?"
"I said, Uncle Zhong, you are already a long time old. You can go back early and enjoy your happiness. Why do you have to suffer like this day and night?" After hesitating, Wei Yan couldn't help but say.
"Are you enjoying peace and happiness" The veteran smiled bitterly upon hearing this, shook his head, and let out a long sigh.
"By the way, Uncle Zhong, are you from Jingzhou?"
"Nanyang."
"Nanyang? Then why did you come to Huangzhou, a place where birds don't shit?" Wei Yan couldn't help but asked curiously.
"What about you kid? You are not from Yiyang. What are you doing here?"
"Didn't I offend someone and be sent here!" Wei Yan spat on the ground angrily, then pointed at himself with his thumb and said proudly, "Don't look at how miserable I am now. I think back then, when I was working as an errand in Xiangyang, I was also a dubo"
"Oh, that's really amazing" He answered calmly, and the veteran raised the wine bottle in his hand and took another sip.
"Hey, hey, hey," seeing that his words did not have the desired effect, Wei Yan was obviously not very satisfied and said angrily, "I kindly brought you wine to eat, but you old man, why do you talk like this?"
Turning around, seeing the dissatisfaction on Wei Yan's face, the veteran smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, Mr. Du Bo's kindness will be unforgettable for the rest of his life"
"Hey!" Wei Yan looked at the veteran angrily, and then he couldn't help but laugh out loud. I don't know how long it took, but Wei Yan asked curiously, "Uncle Zhong, is there anyone else in your family?"
"Why do you ask so suddenly?" The veteran's face changed slightly, and there was a hint of sadness and guilt in his eyes.
However, the careless Wei Yan did not see it and still said with great interest, "I just want to ask, we have known each other for more than half a year. Apart from knowing that Uncle Zhong's surname is Huang, his name is Zhong's name, and his courtesy name is Han Sheng, I don't know anything else." Ah, I told you everything"
Seeing Wei Yan calling himself Uncle Zhong and talking about brothers and veterans, no, Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then said lightly, "That's because you are too easy to offend others. The dignified county captain actually joined forces." Even the Yamen below can't deal with it except for meSay, who else can you tell? "
"Who said I can't deal with those brats?" Wei Yan said with wide eyes.
Huang Zhong shook his head when he heard this, and said earnestly, "Wen Chang, not everything in the world can be solved with fists. You should have a deep understanding of this kind of thing by now!"
Wei Yan opened his mouth and was speechless.
Huang Zhong is right. Wei Yan was sent to Huangzhou because he offended others. But after all, he is also one of the only two county lieutenants in Huangzhou City. You know, the county lieutenant is responsible for public security, catching thieves and other matters. There are dozens or even hundreds of government servants in charge below.
Although it is not as good as Wei Yan who served as Du Bo in the Xiangyang army, he is still a big official. Unfortunately, within a few days of coming to Huangzhou, Wei Yan had offended almost everyone in the local yamen.
No wonder, after all, Wei Yan, who was born in the military, did not understand the operation of small local yamen, and he did not know what collusion between officials and gentry meant. He was full of enthusiasm, and on the first day he arrived in Huangzhou, he bullied the ruffians in the city. He was caught and imprisoned, but he didn't expect that the next day, those gangsters would walk out of the Yamen in a big way.
Wei Yan, who was completely unable to understand this matter, immediately went to find another county captain named Wang Zhan, but was shocked to see the other party hand over a small bag of money
At that time, Wei Yan understood everything. He did not accept the bag of money, but only asked for the other person¡¯s two front teeth
What happened next was very obvious. How could Wei Yan, who had no foundation, be able to fight against those officials who had been in the Huangzhou County Yamen for several years or even more than ten years? What's more, the county where Wei Yan knocked out two front teeth Lieutenant, I heard he is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate of Huangzhou County
No, Wei Yan finally realized what isolation is.
Oh, no, because there is another old soldier who is willing to live under him, an old soldier named Huang Zhong
"Chang Wen, you are too impulsive. The world is so big. Where can there be no cases of squires colluding with the government? Where can there be no cases of government servants accepting bribes and bullying good people? When you first arrived here, you wanted to change this trend It's difficult, it's too difficult. Disaster!"
"Hey!" Wei Yan curled his lips indifferently, and then said with a bit of sarcasm, "Then why do you want to follow me? Why don't you go hang out with that guy?"
Huang Zhong smiled slightly and said softly, "As people get older, they no longer want to make money from ill-gotten gains"
"Hey!" Wei Yan laughed when he heard this, patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder with a smile, and said happily, "That's what it means. If a man stands upright and behaves upright, I don't believe that I, Wei Yan, will be in poverty all his life! - While the man is alive, When you lift a three-foot sword and accomplish immortal feats, how can you bear that kind of bird spirit?!"
Looking at the pride on Wei Yan's face, Huang Zhong smiled slightly, nodded and praised, "What a courage! If Xu'er" At this point, his expression suddenly changed, and he sighed silently, and his whole body seemed to suddenly change. Ten years older.
"Xu'er?"
Wei Yan looked at Huang Zhong in surprise and asked doubtfully, "Who is that?"
Seeing that Wei Yan kept asking questions, Huang Zhong let out a long sigh, shook the wine bottle in his hand, and murmured, "My son should be about the same age as you by now If he is still alive"
"Hey, hey, what do you mean, I am almost the same as your son" As he spoke, Wei Yan suddenly felt something was wrong. He swallowed and whispered, "Could it be that"
As if he had read Wei Yan's thoughts, Huang Zhong nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and murmured, "He's deadI punched him in the chest"
"Whatwhat?" Wei Yan's eyes widened in disbelief and he asked in shock, "What happened?"
Huang Zhong let out a long breath, looked up at the stars, and murmured, "Xu'er, my son has been weak and sick since he was a child. Therefore, I have taught him martial arts since he was a child to strengthen his body, but I didn't expect that I would be there." He is very talented in martial arts. When he was sixteen, he was able to compete with me. This talent is really rare in the world"
"What's so strange about this? Didn't I fight against Uncle Zhong in the same way?" Wei Yan curled his lips indifferently. After he finished speaking, he felt something was inappropriate and quickly closed his mouth.
"How could it be the same" Huang Zhong murmured, and said rather sadly, "When I was seventeen, Xu'er said that he was going to Xiangyang to join the army. Before leaving, he planned to fight me again as a practice. That childhis growth was completely beyond my expectations, so much so that I couldn't be mercifulWhen I came back to my senses, he had fallen to the ground"
"Well¡¡"
"On the second day after Xu'er left, the child couldn't bear the blow and threw himself into the river. Hahaha, if I had shown mercy at that time, I" said this.Huang Zhong, who was over forty and looking older, couldn't help but shed tears.
"Uncle Zhong" Looking at Huang Zhong's sad look, Wei Yan secretly gave himself a slap in the face. After hesitating for a moment, he said quite proudly, "How can it be appropriate for a man to cry and cry? At worst, I will Well, I¡¯ll take care of you until you die!¡±
Huang Zhong couldn't help laughing when he heard this. After wiping away the two old tears with his sleeves, he shook his head and sighed, "You really can't speak. No wonder you offend people everywhere"
"Ah? Aren't I trying to comfort you?"
"Are you so comforting?"
"What happened to me? Didn't I just say that when you die in the future, I will take care of you until you die?" Before he could finish his words, Wei Yan was hit on the head.
Looking at Huang Zhong's angry face, Wei Yan rubbed his sore head and said with a smile, "Are you feeling better?"
Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, as if he had realized something. He looked at Wei Yan angrily and amusedly, shook his head and said, "I say you are smart, but you are actually very stupid. You are said to be stupid, but you are also clever"
"Hehe!" Wei Yan chuckled, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and asked angrily, "But Uncle Zhong, aren't you and your son having a fist fight? How did it get to that point?"
"Xu'er also has Qi, and even awakened the martial spirit If not, how could I have killed him by mistake Those who are good at swimming will drown in the rivers and lakes, this sentence is true I am yellow Zhongya has committed a lot of murders, but I never expected that his retribution would be on my son"
"Wait, wait" Wei Yan stretched out his hand to stop Huang Zhong. Wei Yan tilted his head and asked in astonishment, "Wha what kind of anger? What other martial arts spirits are there?"
Huang Zhong glanced at Wei Yan silently and shook his head slightly.
"It's a trick, isn't it? A very powerful move, isn't it?" Wei Yan licked his lips and said enthusiastically, "Uncle Zhong, for the sake of me giving you wine every day and taking care of you until the end of your life, Please teach me, what is that special move called Qi and Wuhun!"
"Are you cursing me to die early? Brat!" Even the broad-minded Huang Zhong obviously felt uncomfortable when he heard what Wei Yan kept saying in his ears about how to retire in old age.
"No, no, no, I am notUncle Zhong, just teach me!"
Facing the shameless Wei Yan who was pestering him, Huang Zhong felt a headache. After sighing for a long time, he shook his head and said, "Since Xu'er's death, I have stopped practicing martial arts, and I have no intention of passing on what I have learned to others"
"Uncle Zhong"
"Don't mention this again!"
"If Uncle Zhong doesn't teach me, I will"
"That's it?" Glancing at Wei Yan angrily, Huang Zhong said calmly, "I didn't want to be acquainted with you before. Even if there are hundreds of people like you, I will still beat you to the ground! "
Although Huang Zhong¡¯s words were somewhat joking, Wei Yan faintly felt a powerful momentum from them that he had never experienced before.
"How dare I threaten Uncle Zhong? Isn't this How about I kowtow to you? Just teach me" Wei Yan said shamelessly.
"You kid"
?Perhaps, most warriors with upright personalities are soft-spoken characters. Faced with Wei Yan¡¯s stubborn entanglement, Huang Zhong really had no good solution for a while and could only regret his momentary gaffe.
Suddenly, Huang Zhong had an idea and lowered his voice and said, "To teach you martial arts, in my opinion, there is a more suitable person than me in Huangzhou City"
"Who?" Wei Yan asked in shock.
"Do you still remember, the man who knocked you down during the day"
Wei Yan tilted his head and thought for a long time, as if recalling it, and said angrily, "Uncle Zhong, if you don't want to teach me, just say it directly, why bother beating around the bush, how can such a cowardly guy be so strong?"
"How stupid!" Huang Zhong shook his head helplessly and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you think about it carefully? If that man is really just an ordinary hunter, and you are hit by him, then you, Master Dub, Did he fall down so easily?"
"Huh?" Wei Yan was stunned and said hesitantly, "That's not because he is carrying hundreds of kilograms of firewood"
"So you are really stupid! - That man carrying hundreds of kilograms of firewood can knock you to the ground, but he himself doesn't even shake you. Don't you understand this? ?!¡±
"Well, speaking of" Faintly, Wei Yan gradually felt that something was wrong with this matter.
"That person is a master!" Huang Zhong lowered his voicethe voice said.
"How high is it?"
Huang Zhong closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then suddenly opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, "At least he is much taller than I am now" As he spoke, he frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Could it be? God of War?¡±
"What is the God of War?" Chen Su, who had been listening with his ears open, asked after hearing the words.
After being interrupted by Wei Yan's words, Huang Zhong glanced at him with an annoyed expression and said flatly, "You don't even know how to be angry, why do you want to understand the God of War?"
"Hey! Uncle Zhong, don't underestimate me. I, Wei Yan, have no one to teach me. Otherwise, it would be easy to surpass you!"
"Oh? More than me? Then I really underestimated you!" Huang Zhong pretended to be surprised. It was obvious that he didn't believe it.
"You! - You are so angry with me. When I learn how to use Qi and that martial spirit, I will be the first to try your moves on you!"
"Oh, let's wait until you learn these two things!" Huang Zhong said slowly after taking a sip from the wine bottle. Obviously, he did not think that Wei Yan would be his opponent after mastering Qi and Wuhun.
"If you want to fight me, you must at least have the strength to defeat ten thousand people, boy!"
Glancing sideways at Wei Yan, Huang Zhong smiled faintly.
"What are you laughing at, Uncle Zhong?"
"nothing¡¡"
?¡ª¡ªThe next day¡ª¡ª
That guy, is he the God of War?
While Huang Zhong was guessing about Chen Su, Chen Su was also guessing about Huang Zhong's strength.
You know, although Chen Ran's current strength is not as good as before, and he may not even be able to compare with himself when he was an enemy of ten thousand people, but after all, he was once a man who once stepped into the realm of the God of War. How could he even do this? Not even the least alert.
Suspicions are suspicions. Chen Ran didn't think that the veteran with unpredictable strength would have any influence on him. After all, in his opinion, he had such powerful power but was willing to serve as a despicable person in a small place like Huangzhou. The yamen officer, that veteran, had obviously suffered some serious setbacks, just like Chen Chang.
Thinking of this, Chen suddenly couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the world is so big and there are so many heroes, but there are such strong people in such a small and inconspicuous place.
"Creak"
Chen suddenly reached out and opened the door. Since he had hunted a lot of prey in the mountains recently, he had accumulated a lot of wild beast skins. Therefore, today, he planned to go to the market with Tang Xiner to sell them in exchange for some money. After all, the family had enough food. Running out.
Suddenly, Chen was stunned because he saw a guy sitting cross-legged on the floor facing the door of his house in his courtyard. At this moment, he was looking at him intently.
This guy¡¡
Isn¡¯t that the person you bumped into yesterday?
It seems to be called Wei Yan
Did he notice it?
Thinking of this, Chen Ran frowned calmly and was about to speak when he saw Wei Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, suddenly stood up and fell to the ground with a bow.
"Please teach me martial arts!"
""
Chen was suddenly stunned, and Tang Xiner, who came out after hearing the noise in the courtyard, looked at each other in confusion.
This is¡¡
what's the situation?
