Peerless Pirates

Chapter 42 The Shadow of the Town

"On the 15th day of August, clouds cover the moon, and on the 15th day of the first lunar month, snow lights up the lights." This farmer's proverb is a perfect way to describe the weather in Mizhou in the eighth year of the Zhengyuan Period of the Qi Dynasty. Dark clouds cover the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival in the seventh year of the Zhengyuan Dynasty, which makes many people happy.

People were disappointed, but the heavy snow during the Lantern Festival the next year made many literati express their feelings of "snow lighting up lanterns".

The flying snowflakes accompanied by the colorful lanterns allow people to enjoy the Lantern Festival. However, for people traveling the next day, it is a disaster. The snow is vast, the road is difficult to distinguish, and people are rushing for their livelihood.

I had to check the direction carefully and walk carefully. This was also thanks to the cold weather. Otherwise, once the snow melted, the dirt road would become very muddy, which would be even more troublesome.

On the dirt road leading from Shishan Town to Mizhou, two horse-drawn carriages walked slowly, leaving two deep ruts behind them. The falling snowflakes covered the two carriages with white hoods. It was surprising.

Yes, in this weather, there were actually three teenagers walking in the snow on the ruts. The three teenagers were two boys and one girl. The boy walking in the rut on the left was about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed like a scholar, and nearly seven feet tall.

, his face is a healthy wheat color, his nose is straight and his mouth is square, his forehead is full, his eyes are as bright as morning stars, and he looks like a handsome young man. Only the slightly upturned corners of his mouth give people a hint of amusement.

The girl who followed behind her was dressed as a maid. She was older, about sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and plump. Although she was slightly out of breath, her face was solemn, and she looked like she didn't care about anything.

The boy on the right is three inches taller, with a thick body, a round face and big ears. Under the two thick eyebrows, his eyes are extremely slender, as if two slits were cut on the fat face, which is a bit funny. The boy's face is flushed.

, there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and the white breath he exhaled from time to time made him look a little embarrassed. However, the tall boy still stared at the young scholar in front of him with an unconvinced expression.

At this time, in the car in front of the boy, a woman about forty years old stuck her head out and said, "Zheng'er, come up and have a rest!" The boy on the left shook his head and said, "Mother, it doesn't matter.

, I haven’t sweated yet. Besides, with one less person in the car, the carriage can go faster, and we can reach Huangya Town before dark." The woman was about to say something more, but there was a sound coming from inside the carriage.

A cold snort: "If he wants to leave, let him go. Why do you care so much?" The woman sighed and retracted her body into the car.

The young man on the left is Song Zheng, who has expired as "surrogate father Ding You", and the maid following behind is naturally Ming'er. The young man on the right is from Shishan Town, and is Shi Cunbao, the son of Shi Wanjin, the largest landowner in the town.

He is 15 this year, one year older than Song Zheng, and is currently studying at the Michigan Martial Arts Academy. Since Song Jue is the deputy chief instructor at the Michigan Academy of Arts, Shi Wanjin and Shishan Town medicinal materials merchant Bei Hongda made a special trip to Songjiazhuang before the Spring Festival.

Please ask Song Jue to take care of their son in Mizhou, and make an appointment to go together on the 16th of the first lunar month after the new year.

Bei Leye, the son of Bei Hongda, is the same age as Song Zheng. He just entered the liberal arts college last fall. However, he studied "small subjects", namely accounting, astronomy, architecture, medicine and other subjects. Perhaps due to family influence, this "Belle"

"Master" is quite talented in mathematics. He was proficient in abacus before entering school. His medical skills are much better than Song Zheng, who is a dabbler.

When setting off from Shishan Town early this morning, Shi Wanjin's handlebar Qiaobo drove a large car and opened the road ahead. In the carriage were Shi Cunbao and Bei Leye, followed by their family's scholar Shi Zhuang and Bei Suo.

On Song Jue's side, Song Xiaosi drove the car, pulling Song Jue, Zhu and Xiaoping. Song Zheng and Ming'er walked in the car in the name of exercising. Shi Cunbao and Bei Leye had young minds and took the initiative when they saw Song Zheng walking.

Come down and walk on the snow.

Although these people walked on the rut in front, it was still very tiring in the snow. Within an hour, Bei Leye couldn't hold it any longer. Even the two book boys were out of breath. The three of them got on board one after another.

The car in front. After all, Shi Cunbao was a student of the martial arts academy. Although he was a little tired, he was embarrassed to get in the car and followed with gritted teeth. Seeing that Song Zheng still had the same leisurely and contented expression except that his face was slightly red. Shi Cunbao couldn't help but murmur.

, Is this Young Master Song made of iron? How come he doesn't even break a sweat? Shi Cunbao glanced at Ming'er sideways again, and secretly thought, his maid is also strong enough. It looks like she is definitely easier than him. Could it be that she just

Are you tired? You must know that the group of people left Shishan Town just after dawn. Apart from eating some dry food at noon, they have been walking for more than three hours.

In fact, if Shi Cunbao knew that Song Zheng and Qi'er had two kilograms of sandbags tied to each leg, he would probably be even more surprised.

At this time, a thin figure emerged from the carriage in front, jumped on the ground, and ran back excitedly. This person was Bei Leye. He was only six feet three inches tall, with a thin body and naturally strong physical strength.

Not with Song Zheng and others. However, at this moment, he felt as if he had been given a shot of blood. After bypassing Song Jue's carriage, he shouted to Song Zheng: "Mr. Song, I know how the tiger crossed the river.

.”

Song Zheng smiled and said: "Oh, then tell me."

Bei Leye ran to Song Zheng, walking on the rut on the right side, and said with excitement: "First let the little tiger Ding take the little tiger Wu to row across the river, and then row back alone; then let Ding take the little tiger himself

Cross the river and come back alone; the key is the third step, let the two big tigers B and C row across the river, and then B and E come back..."

It turned out that Song Zheng gave Bei Leye a reasoning question, "There are three big tigers A, B, and C and three little tigers D, E, and Ji. The three big tigers are the mothers of the three little tigers. Now.

, these six tigers have to cross the river, and there is only one small boat in the river. The three big tigers can row, and only Ding, the little tiger, can row. It is known that if the mother of a certain tiger cub is not around, the other big tigers will take it

Eat them. How can these six tigers cross the river safely?"

This Bei Leye does have some brains. Less than an hour after lunch, Bei Leye figured out the "Tiger Crossing the River". It was so cold that Bei Leye probably couldn't put a brush on the paper.

The gestures can be deduced by imagination alone, and it is indeed not simple. After hearing Bei Leye's answer, Song Zheng said with a smile: "Not bad, I really asked you to figure it out."

At this time, Shi Cunbao said from behind, "How can a tiger know how to row a boat?" Song and Bei staggered after hearing this. Sure enough, "if a fool opens his mouth, he must be surprised."

Bei Leye ignored him. After feeling proud, he hurriedly asked Young Master Song, "Is there any more questions like this? Tell me one more thing. Sitting in the car is annoying me to death."

Song Zheng searched his mind and asked the famous "hat" question again. Bei Leye was overjoyed: "Just wait, I'll think about it for a while." After saying that, he ran a few steps and climbed onto the big door in front of him.

car.

When Bei Leye finally guessed the hat problem, the sky gradually darkened, and lights were vaguely visible in front. The two carriages sped up, and finally arrived at Huangya Town before nightfall, and moved into the only building in the town.

Jinshan Inn. After traveling all day, the group was extremely sleepy. After a quick dinner, they rested.

Jinshan Inn has a total of ten rooms, just like the Tongzi Tower of later generations. The middle room on the first floor is the foyer, and there are two "di" guest rooms on the left and right. Among the five "tian" guest rooms upstairs, the eastmost room No. 1 has been

Being booked. In the name of studying, Song Zheng refused Bei Leye's request to "share the same room" and occupied the second room exclusively. Song Jue, Zhu and his wife, Xiaoping and Ming'er were in rooms three and four.

Shi Cunbao and Bei Leye squeezed together and occupied No. 5. Qiao Bo, Song Xiaosi and the two book boys occupied two rooms downstairs.

After Song Zheng entered the house, he took off his sand leggings. After walking for five hours, he felt a little tired even after two years of hard training. Song Zheng lay on the bed and followed the qi route in "Chun Yang Pu".

He practiced it silently. "Chunyang Pu" was worthy of being the secret manual of Taizu. After half an hour, Song Zheng not only lost all his fatigue, but also felt refreshed. He seemed to have endless energy in his body. He lifted up his clothes and

Touching his flat belly, he felt as if he was firmer again. When he tapped it gently, the sound was thick but full of elasticity. Song Zheng nodded with satisfaction, put down his clothes, and took "Da Yi Zhi Fist" from his arms.

He took it out. He had burned the "Chun Yang Pu". After all, it was something from the palace. If someone discovered it, something might be revealed. So, half a year ago, he had practiced the previous thirty-five pages.

, memorized the last brain qi diagram, and then burned it.

As for the "Da Yi Zhi Fist", except for the last move, he has mastered it. Speaking of which, he must also thank the man in black who donated the book. The man in black visited Song Zheng twice in the past two years.

The first time was not long after Song Jue went to Mizhou. The man in black sneaked into Song's house, left a note on Song Zheng's desk, and asked him to go to the big stone in Xishan early the next morning. After meeting, the man in black first asked

After looking at the situation in Song's house, Song Zheng naturally did not dare to tell the truth, so he told the government's verdict and funeral details. The man in black did not ask any more questions, but just asked him to practice the Xiaoyi Zhiquan and Gang Gang he had learned.

I pointed out a few shortcomings of the seven-eight-style big drag straight boxing I learned. Then I practiced it myself. Then I left in a hurry.

The second time was in May last year. The man in black invited him to the big rock again and asked him to practice again. At that time, he had just learned the third-to-last movement "Dragon Soaring into the Sky", but he felt that his movements were sluggish and he was always looking for trouble.

Not having the feeling of a dragon flying in the sky, the man in black taught him the method of luck. It turns out that when using this posture, the person first transfers power to the legs. After the person takes off, the left leg no longer exerts force, but swings with the movement, such as

Like a swallow's tail, it plays a balancing role. After the fists and right leg complete the attack, the left leg will re-strike when it lands, supplemented by the right leg to offset the momentum of the fall. The man in black also said that the penultimate

The same is true for the second form of "Hundred Dragons Show". The key point is that both legs need to re-strength between the falls, rather than doing it in one go. As for the last form of "Dragon Coming to the World", the man in black admitted that he had not learned it, but just memorized it.

I couldn’t find the method after looking at the specific movements. (The first chapter of Volume 2, please add it to your collection, please send me flowers, comments are welcome)
