Pirate Song

Chapter Twelve Apprenticeship

Lying on his bed, Gao Huaiyuan has been thinking about this strange old man. Judging from the strange old man's skills today, it is true that this person must be an expert, but it is not clear why this old man chose him as his apprentice.

Gao Huaiyuan was a little confused about this matter.

But Gao Huaiyuan has been thinking about how to go in the future these days. He has thought about doing business, studying, and practicing martial arts. The first thing to be eliminated is studying. Once war starts in the future, it will be useless.

He is a scholar, and now he is twelve or thirteen years old. Even if he wants to achieve success in reading, I am afraid it will be difficult. This is more like tens of thousands of people competing to cross a single-plank bridge than getting into college in later generations. To be able to become an official among so many people

This is probably a rare thing among scholars.

Gao Huaiyuan is not arrogant enough to think that he has talent in this area. As long as he studies, he will definitely be named on the gold medal list. What's more, Gao Huaiyuan is really not interested in the intrigues in the officialdom.

Doing business? Although the Southern Song Dynasty was very relaxed about doing business, the status of a businessman was not high. What's more, he was penniless now. Even if he had this idea, it was really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. What's more, in the environment of the Gao family, he

Even if you have the ability, you have no chance.

After thinking about it, Gao Huaiyuan felt that it would be a good thing to practice martial arts now. At least he could practice martial arts. In the future, when the world is really in chaos, he would be able to have some ability to protect himself. At the moment, he was not thinking about himself.

He had the ability to single-handedly block the progress of history and the Mongolian army swept across the Eurasian continent. Unless he became the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, it would be a foolish dream to change this historical process.

In such a mood, Gao Huaiyuan slowly fell asleep. Before the light came out, he woke up, tidied up briefly, and put on some more fitting clothes, without disturbing Liu, who was still sleeping next door.

Son, he sneaked to the back door, woke up the housekeeper who was sleeping like a pig, and left Gao Mansion towards the south gate.

The old man told him to go out of the city and look for him in the woods five miles outside the city. He really wanted to know where this old man came from. Anyway, he had nothing to do now, so it seemed good to learn Kung Fu first.

When he arrived at the south gate, it was still dark and the city gate had just opened. Vehicles carrying dung began to enter the city to collect the buckets from each household. This was the best waste material for farmers in this era. The gatekeeper

The officials yawned and looked at Gao Huaiyuan strangely. They didn't know what the young man was doing out of the city so early, but they were not interested in taking care of it and let Gao Huaiyuan wander out.

According to what the old man said, Gao Huaiyuan walked all the way to the south of the city, five miles away, and saw a large forest in the distance, so he strolled over. However, he wandered outside the forest until daylight, but could not find the old man.

"Damn it! I was let go! If I had known better, I wouldn't have fallen for this old man's trick!" Gao Huaiyuan muttered angrily and turned around to go back to the city.

At this time, a voice came out from the woods: "You lazy idiot, I asked you to get here at midnight, but you come late and you blame me, it is really unreasonable!" As he spoke, the old man from yesterday floated out from the woods,

He stood in front of Gao Huaiyuan.

"Nonsense, I've been here a long time ago, but I can't find you, how can you blame me?" Gao Huaiyuan said unhappily.

The old man struck him on the forehead with lightning speed. Gao Huaiyuan had obviously seen him doing it and quickly dodged, but he still received a solid blow. He was shocked and secretly thought that this old man was really powerful.

I couldn't see how he hit me, so I rubbed my sore forehead and didn't dare to refute anymore.

"I said you were late, it was too late, and you dared to talk back! Do you want a beating? But today is the first day, I won't argue with you. If you want to learn kung fu, come here in the future. If you are later, I will beat you.

Stop it! Now tell me why you want to practice martial arts!" The old man looked unreasonable, gave Gao Huaiyuan a lesson, and then asked him.

Gao Huaiyuan thought for a moment, and then replied: "It's not that I want to practice martial arts, it's you who want to force me to be your apprentice. I think you are old, so in line with the noble moral character of respecting the old and loving the young, I will satisfy you. Save

You are disappointed!"

"Ouch!" As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Huaiyuan covered his head and shouted again. It turned out that he was hit hard by the old man again, and his head hurt like hell.

"I thought you were a good guy at first, but I didn't expect you to be slippery-tongued and disrespectful. I just need to beat you up and tell you, and I will satisfy you!" The old man seemed to have made no move, his hands still behind his back.

Gao Huaiyuan rubbed his head and said dissatisfied: "Just hit me? It took me a long time to recover. If you beat me stupid again, be careful you will be responsible for me for the rest of your life! You asked me why I want to learn martial arts, that's fine.

I’m telling you that! The reason is very simple. I just want to have some ability to protect myself in case the world is in chaos in the future!"

The old man stared into Gao Huaiyuan's eyes and asked: "Don't you practice martial arts just to protect yourself? Don't you ever think about learning martial arts and serving the country?"

Gao Huaiyuan sneered at the old man's question, and for some reason, he felt an indescribable sense of intimacy and trust after getting to know the old man, so he didn't hide it from him and said: "Serve the country? Why? Big

The Song Dynasty has always valued literature over military affairs, and military generals can only be bullied by civilian officials. And how many famous generals in the Song Dynasty had a good end? Let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about Marshal Yue. He devoted himself to the country. What ended up in the end? Wasn’t he high?

...I don’t tell you but you know whose hands he died! And now? How many people in the Song Dynasty are still thinking about working hard to restore the territory of the Han people? It’s just a matter of peace and contentment! Who wants to make a noise?

If I go north to restore the Central Plains, I will definitely not end up in a good place! I just want to learn a skill and have a little ability to protect myself in the troubled times in the future. I have never thought about being a spearman for anyone! If you are not satisfied

, I’ll go back and pull him down now!”

Gao Huaiyuan spoke his true feelings to the old man unceremoniously. Even he himself was surprised as to why he said such words to the old man. If anyone else had said it, his words would have been extremely treasonous.

After hearing what Gao Huaiyuan said, the old man was obviously very surprised. He looked at Gao Huaiyuan for a long time, as if he saw a monster, and then said after a while: "Are you really the stupid boy from the Gao family?"

When Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he knew that the old man had already inquired about his identity, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it's true!"

The old man shook his head and smiled: "I can't see it! I really can't see it! I didn't expect you to have such an insight at such a young age! It's really rare! You are really a little monster, I like it! Haha"

Gao Huaiyuan looked at the old man, grinned and said: "If I were a little monster, you would be an old monster, otherwise you wouldn't have found me! Hehe!" Gao Huaiyuan felt very relaxed talking to this old man. This old man didn't look like him. Ordinary people in this era are so pedantic and seem very different.

"Ouch! Why did you hit me again?" Gao Huaiyuan was hit on the head again, but he had no chance to hide, so he could only shout dissatisfied.

"Presumptuous! Once you are a teacher, you will always be a father. You have no choice but to be young or old! This is a small lesson for you! I don't care why you want to practice martial arts. I will accept you as my apprentice, and I won't be happy. Salute?" the old man taught him.

Gao Huaiyuan was really not used to kneeling down to salute, but then he thought about it. It was the custom in ancient times to do as the Romans do. Besides, this old man seemed nice, so it was okay to kneel down, so he didn't dare to talk back, so as not to suffer any more in vain. He knelt down obediently and kowtowed to the old man a few times. The old man nodded with satisfaction, and then Gao Huaiyuan stood up.

"Since I have become a disciple, master can now tell me your identity!" Gao Huaiyuan was a little confused when he became a disciple. He still hasn't figured out what his master does or what his name is.

"Don't ask about this. I will tell you when the time comes. Come and tell me, how did you know that the world will be in chaos in the future?" The old man turned around, found a place to sit down, and asked Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan looked around and found a clean place, sat in front of the old man, and replied disapprovingly: "This matter is obvious. I have heard many people talk about things in the north these days. The rise of the Mongols has become an inevitable issue." The reversal of things, and Genghis Khan will never be satisfied with just unifying the grassland and bringing him down. Now his ambition can be seen. They first attacked Xixia, and then attacked the Jin Kingdom. Once one day, Xixia and the Jin Kingdom were destroyed. If so, what is waiting for the Song Dynasty is the iron hooves of the Mongolian army. Now no one in the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, and the Xixia Kingdom can see this clearly. They are still fighting fiercely. I am afraid that if this continues, it will not be long before the Xixia and Jin Kingdoms. That’s it! The good days of the Song Dynasty have come to an end! That’s why I want to learn some skills quickly so that I can have some power to protect myself by then!”

The old man looked at Gao Huaiyuan, a bit like he was looking at a monster. He was stunned for a long time and then asked with a serious face: "Tell me honestly, did your father tell you these things you said? Or did someone else say it to you? Pass?"

Gao Huaiyuan rolled his eyes and replied dissatisfied: "Do you think my father is that kind of person? Can he see this situation clearly? Do I need anyone to tell me this? Even a fool can see it!"

The old man was really speechless. After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he sighed deeply and said: "I didn't expect that I have lived for so long, but my vision is not as good as that of a silly boy like you. According to what you said, think about it carefully. , it is really possible! But you can only tell me what you said. If others listen to it, they may think you are crazy again! The Mongols are indeed powerful and extremely ferocious. According to what you said, everything It's all possible! After listening to your words today, it really felt like waking up someone in a dream with just one word! The Song Dynasty is in danger!" dd
