"… The wound on your hand has been bandaged for you, don't move around, some foods should be avoided, such as… Keep the wound clean, change the medicine for golden sore every three days, if you want to take a bath, don't let the dirty water touch it. It's very troublesome, you may die... I said, don't touch the wound... "
The afternoon sun was still a bit dazzling. Hundreds of people were gathered here to watch the first round of selection of the "World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference" in the unfinished Da Yanwu Stadium attached to the main part of the north side of Chengdu City.
Throughout the ages, the economic base has determined the superstructure, and it has also determined the appearance of society. Although it is said that the Chinese civilization has a long history and there are many great events and events that make people talk about it, the essence of the elite system has not changed since thousands of years ago. The main discussion is about the appearance of less than five percent of the upper class, and the bottom of the lower class, in fact, has never existed.
In the past, the Wu Dynasty paid more attention to literature than martial arts. Although the three religions, nine streams, and green forest pawns have always existed, but if we really want to talk about making their existence concrete, many of the reasons have to be attributed to the bamboo storytellers over the years, although they are actually impossible to cover. The whole world, but the stories they tell are classics, and other storytellers imitate them.
After the process of more than ten years, the concept of rivers and lakes and green forests has been relatively concretely established in the hearts of some people. Even many original martial arts practitioners are self-conscious about themselves, but they are only practicing with others. The "handling style" of self-defense, after listening to the storytelling, I probably understood that there is a "green forest" and a "jianghu" in the world.
This title makes them feel that they have an identity.
In the past 20 years ago, Zhou Tong of the so-called Yuquan Gym was just a boxer who was good at fighting in the eyes of ordinary people. Many rural warriors would not hear his name. At the level, you will gradually hear about Shenggong and Yunlong Jiuxian, and then gradually enter the circle of Green Forest, and this Green Forest, in fact, is also a very small circle of people with unclear concepts.
It was the Zhuji that made Zhou Dong well-known, and it was also Ning Yi who unified the various gangsters who came to commit suicide through Zhuji into a "green forest". In the past, the green forest competitions were witnessed by dozens or dozens of people at most. People competed, fought, and communicated in a small area. Most of the time, they gathered only to kill, rob, and "do business". These competitions will not fall into the storytellers. The mouth was circulated in various ways.
For martial arts practitioners, the biggest event officially recognized in the past was martial arts. It was held every few years, and the public didn’t actually care. Most of the historical materials handed down to later generations did not record the name of the champion of martial arts. Compared with people's pursuit of Wen Zhuangyuan, Wu Zhuangyuan basically has no reputation and status.
Chengdu's "World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference" is now an unprecedented "green forest" event. On the basis of Zhuji's storytelling, many people also have various associations with it. The Huaxia Army held such a conference internally in the past. , it was all military competitions, and this time it was finally open to the whole world. During this period of time, some propagandists of Zhuji also neatly sorted out the stories and nicknames of some of the famous martial artists in the world, and made the atmosphere in Chengdu like a battle between dragons and tigers. , so he could not help but come over and take a look.
It was the end of April that the Huaxia Army defeated the West Route Army. Considering the long distance from all parties in the world, it would take time for news transmission and people to come over. In the early stage, it was just a little hype. The first round of selection starts in June, that is, let the first-come and first-registered warriors compete in the first round to accumulate victories, let the judges test their quality, and the Zhuji storytellers will make up more stories. , and then close the registration for the next round.
At that time, people all over the world will gather in the capital, and cultural elites can quarrel in the newspapers, watch martial arts fights, go to the sports meeting to shout and revel, and they can visit Jurchen prisoners of war through parades and demonstrate the military force of the Chinese army. The first round of business cooperation was basically finalized, making a fortune together, and everyone was happy; and in this atmosphere, the People's Congress was established, the Huaxia People's Government was officially established, and everyone witnessed it.
Of course, since there were not many people coming, the audience in the first knockout match was not very large after the popularity of the previous few days. On the contrary, the portraits of various masters with names, nicknames, and achievements are now posted in the long shed outside the venue, attracting the attention of a large number of people every day, and people gathered in nearby restaurants and teahouses often also vividly say Rumors from such a master:
"This xxx nickname xxx, do you know how you got it..."
"This xx and xxx competed in xx three years ago, and only xx was present as a witness at that time..."
Or is it:
"Do you know Lu Tuo?"
"This list is deliberately made by the Huaxia Army. To say that the number one in the world today, there are about five people who can participate in the competition. Among them, the most powerful one, you know where Mr. Ning's reputation for bloody slaughter came from..."
"But he said that Lin Zongwu called him 'wearing Lin Bei's legs' in the Huaxia Army. Why? This person is tall and thin, and his legs are very good... "
All kinds of news and discussions converge into a lively atmosphere, enriching people's amateur cultural life. In the stadium, the 14-year-old young doctor just routinely stopped the bleeding, healed the wounds, and told them to pay attention to hygiene every day.
Frankly speaking, if you really want to talk about martial arts, it's really nothing to see. He had been watching those fights with all his attention and interest a few days ago, but recently, he has completely turned into a routine with a lazy face.
The real martial arts masters each have their own strengths, while the low martial arts masters are mostly messed up. For Ning Ji, who has seen many shots at the level of Hongti, Watermelon, and Du Sha, and has been honing on the battle formation for a year or two, the arena in front of him has been watched a lot, which is really awkward and uncomfortable.
Unable to take a standard shot, he could only review standard medical knowledge to balance this discomfort. Seeing that the stinky and sweaty strong man was about to stretch out his hand to tie the bandage, he stretched out his hand and patted it.
"... I said, don't touch the wound, you sweat a lot, try not to exercise for the next few days... "
"Hey!" The strong man was not very happy, "You little doll is talking too much. People of my generation who practice martial arts will of course sweat, and of course they will suffer injuries like this! A little knife injury is nothing, look at this Dao Scar, and this Dao... Just bandage it, it's not good enough for yourself. Look at your little doctor, who has thin skin and tender meat, and has never suffered from hardship! Tell you, a real man needs to exercise more and eat more , It doesn't matter if you suffer a little injury, and you say you have to live or die... We martial arts practitioners, don't worry, be patient!"
Ning Ji glanced at his scar with a blank expression: "Your scar has become like this because you haven't dealt with it well... It's also because you were lucky in the past, and there was no accident. Around us, there are all kinds of small things you can't see anytime, anywhere. Bacteria, the dirtier the place, the more this bacteria, it enters your wound, you may get sick, the wound becomes bad. You bandages are boiled in boiling water... Don't open this bandage for you, when changing the dressing Open again!"
"Fine, fine what?"
"Bacteria." Ning Ji was bored anyway, watching the top of the arena cleaning up the arena, so he accompanies the strong man to say a few more words, "It's a small living animal, but it's very small, we can't even see it, we enter The wound starts to eat your flesh and blood, that is, the invasion of foreign evil. You blocked the knife with your hand just now, and the knife on the opposite side is not very clean. If something happens in the future, you may heat up, or you may die. "
"It's very small, so how did you see it? You said that you can't see it... Forget it, don't argue with this little doll, you are pretty good at it... When it comes to blocking the knife with your hand, I just did the trick The beauty of it, little baby, do you understand?" The strong man turned the subject and his eyes began to glow, "Forget it, you definitely can't see it, let me tell you, I can avoid him with this knife, but I exchanged injuries with him, and he was immediately scared. I replaced his knife with his knife, so I won. This is called the brave who meets the narrow road. And I tell you, little baby, in the arena, he splits and I split. The past is a matter of that moment, and there is no time to think about it. At this moment, I decided to switch injuries with him. This kind of response requires great courage. I am today, and I said that I must win..."
"...It does take a lot of courage...Congratulations."
Ning Ji repeated it with a blank expression, walked to the other side of the ring with the medicine box, and found a place to sit down. I saw that the bandaged strong man also patted the bandage on his arm and got up. He first looked around and seemed to find someone for a while, then wandered around the venue boredly, and then came to Ning Ji's side.
"Hey, I said you little baby, you are a doctor at such a young age?"
Ning Ji looked ahead: "The older ones go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the younger ones become doctors, shouldn't they?"
"That's right, you are also a member of the Black Flag, and the Black Flag Army is a real hero. I've said this to Meng Lang." The strong man looked rude, but occasionally the words of Wen crepe appeared in his words. Chao Ningji bowed his hands and then sat down next to him, "The soldiers of the Black Flag Army are true heroes, but ah, there is something wrong with the people above you, sooner or later something will happen..."
Ning Ji's eyes moved to the corner of his eyes, he glanced at him, and then returned to his original position. The brawny man also seemed to think that he shouldn't say these things. He sat there for a while being bored, and then looked at Ning Ji's extremely ordinary doctor's dress: "I think you are going to work at such a young age, and it is probably not a good family. I also respect that you black flag soldiers are indeed men. Let me talk about it here. My master learned to be rich in five cars, and everything he said was wrong. He was not talking nonsense. The bustling market has become empty…”
"Who is your master?"
"Don't be angry, you baby, what I said is from the bottom of my heart... My master is also for you, and I didn't say anything bad about you. I think he is right. If you can be like this for a long time, the princes of the Wu Dynasty, Why aren't there many people who are ordinary people in literary works like you? It is said that the method on your side can only last for thirty or fifty years, and there will be chaos.
"… Moderate?"
"Yes, you little doll have read books, the mean can only take two or three hundred years... You see, this makes sense. Jin Guoqiang has been strong for 30 to 50 years, and was defeated by the black flag. You have 30 to 50 years, and it is impossible to say that you will be defeated again. Defeat... Is there anything that is hard to say for thirty or fifty years, mainly to say this, if there is any reason, just remember it... I think it makes sense. Hey, little baby, the ones in the black flag army that you can really fight, Have you seen them? Let me know which heroes are there. I heard that they won't appear until next month... I'm not asking for myself. My boss is much better at martial arts than me. The one who won the next place, he said that he can't get the first recognition, at least the first few... I don't know how he will fight with your heroes of the Black Flag Army. In fact, the method on the battlefield is not necessarily one-on-one. Awesome... Hey, have you ever been on the battlefield, you little baby should not be... "
The two sat there looking at the ring, Ning Ji's shoulders had already collapsed in the voice of the words, he was bored and said a few more words, he didn't expect this person to be more boring than him. Recently, the Huaxia Army has opened its doors to welcome outsiders, and it is also allowed to argue in the newspapers. Therefore, there have been repeated orders and five declarations internally, and military personnel are not allowed to beat people because of the other party's words.
At the moment, he can only carry the medicine box and move to another place. The strong man also knew that the child was angry, so he sat there and did not chase after him. After a while, it seemed that someone appeared from outside the field and waved at the strong man. The strong man went out from the arena because he waited for his companions. Ning Ji glanced at him and came to find him with a steady pace. He probably had some internal skills, but he lost half of his hair training. This was due to the accumulation of dark wounds in the meridians, and it was not considered good. I don't know if it is the boss of the other party who is going to win the ranking.
The foolish arena on the stage was going to decide the outcome game by game. From time to time, there were shouts from the onlookers outside. Occasionally, some minor injuries appeared. Ning Ji ran over to deal with them. Take down a person in the first few moves. The day was approaching dusk, and the ring match was over. My brother was sitting in a shabby-looking carriage, waiting for him outside, maybe something happened.
"I found a roast duck restaurant with excellent dough and good sauce. I'll take you to explore today and eat something delicious."
Ning Xi recently found Ning Ji. Eight out of ten times, he was looking for delicious food. People who didn't know it thought he was looking for food in Chengdu all day long. In fact, Ning Ji knows how busy this brother is. Although he is only eighteen years old, he has a lot of things on his shoulders. It's really delicious, and it is often full of praise. If it is not delicious, it will silently fill the stomach.
The two chatted in the car, Ning Xi asked Ning Ji what he had seen in the competition arena, if any famous masters appeared, and what level did they appear, and asked him whether he was tired in the arena recently. Ning Ji was a little more lively in front of his brother, and with a sullen face, he vomited all the way.
When they arrived at the roast duck restaurant, the brothers ordered a single room upstairs. The single room faced the street and could see the road, pedestrians, sunlight, trees, and the sparkling river and lake in the golden sunset in the distance. Before the duck came up, Ning Xi took out a stack of files from the bag she was carrying, as well as ink and brushes.
"There are ten copies in total, and you will sign on the back."
"what?"
"You don't have to worry about it, just sign it and sign it."
"Let me see… "
Ning Xi pouted, Ning Ji took a few glances, the files were almost the same, they were all about Ning Ji's performance in the battlefield by Zheng Qiming and a group of people.
"Of course it is useful. It has something to do with my current affairs. You don't need to worry about it. Signing and signing means that it is right... I didn't want to find you at all, but there must be a step. You sign first, and the duck will come up. "
"What's the matter?" Ning Ji frowned.
"Then can I tell you? Military secrets."
"Is it my third-class merit?"
Ning Ji looked at Ning Xi, Ning Xi held her forehead: "..."
"...Brother, I heard that my father refused to give me that third-class merit. He also wanted to protect me, so it's fine if he doesn't give it to me. I don't want it either."
"...You sign first, they're not lying, right? If it's not a lie, you should give the merit, you will fight for your life." Ning Xi said this, seeing Ning Ji still hesitating, she said, "And it was Dad who asked me to do so. If you appealed for you, it means that he is willing to give you the merit. I know that you regard your fame as dung, but this is related to my face, the face of the two of us. These confessions can't be done, but you don't need to worry, I'll take care of the rest."
Ning Ji sighed and wrote down, "I really don't want this third-class merit, and if I appeal like this, I won't send it to my father in the end. If he calls back, you will be for nothing. I'm busy, so I don't think it's time to waste..."
"You don't understand. After the procedure, Dad will recognize it. He attaches great importance to this step." Ning Xi said, "Although you are a doctor recently, do you know what Chengdu is mainly doing?"
"Establish a congress to announce to the world?"
Ning Ji answered in this way, and Ning Xi was about to speak, when the young man outside brought the roast duck in, so he stopped for a while. Ning Ji finished painting over there and handed it back to his brother.
Ning Xi put away the files and waited until the door of the room was closed before opening her mouth: "The congress is for one purpose, and in addition, the Zhuji and Su Clan must be reorganized, and everything will be crumpled into one piece under the brand of Huaxia People's Government. In fact, everyone in various fields already knows about this matter, how to change, how to rub, how to transfer personnel, all the plans have already been made. However, after the congress is opened, the reorganization will be proposed through the congress The proposal, then passed this proposal, and then kneaded into the government, as if the idea was conceived by the Congress, and all people did things under the direction of the Congress."
The roast duck in the store had already been filmed before it was delivered, so Ning Xi started to pack a copy for her brother: "The congress provides opinions, experts provide solutions, and the people's government is responsible for implementation. This is what Dad has always emphasized. Most things follow these steps, so that they can become the norm in the future. So the same is true for appeals. It is very troublesome to appeal, but as long as the steps are reached, Dad will be willing to let it pass... Well, it's delicious... Anyway, you don't have to. Come on... This sauce tastes really good... "
Ning Xi began to talk about food. It was delicious and delicious. The evening wind blew in from outside the window, bringing the aroma of food on the street.
Ning Xi occasionally asked, "Xiaoji, are you really not going to participate in this competition?"
Ning Ji said: "It's nothing great. If I participate in the youth field, I won't have to fight."
Ning Xi stopped asking. In fact, the family members have always had some doubts about Ning Ji's decision not to participate in this competition. Many people are worried that Ning Ji's mood has not eased since he visited the widows of his comrades with his mother, so he is not interested in martial arts. But in fact, Ningji already has a broader plan in this regard.
He has already made a decision. When the time is right, he will grow up and become stronger. He will be able to leave Chengdu, free from the world, and see the martial arts masters in the whole world. Therefore, before this, he is not willing to compete in the Chengdu competition. Expose your identity in such a scene.
And going to other places in the future, Ning Ji's identity will eventually bring him more danger than ordinary people. Although he is still young, he has seen many lives and deaths on the battlefield, so he will not be blindly arrogant. Compared to a martial artist or a well-dressed son, a doctor who has traveled the world can travel farther and safer. After all, no one will kill the doctor casually.
Of course, these thoughts in his heart will not be mentioned to his brother for the time being, nor will they be disclosed to anyone in the family, otherwise there will be no possibility of leaving in the future.
Thinking of this, he changed the subject and said, "Brother, have any strange people approached you recently?"
"What?" Ning Xi thought for a while, "What kind of person is weird?"
"Well, for example... what a beautiful girl. You are the eldest of our family, sometimes you have to show your face, maybe there will be such or such girls to seduce you, I heard Grandpa Chen and the others say, beauty plan ... You don't let the first sister of the first year down."
He was only fourteen years old, and when it comes to things like beauty tricks, he was a little forced to mature. When Ning Xi heard the last, she slapped him on the forehead. Swipe: "Oops, my hair is messed up."
He straightened his hair, and Ning Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What beauty plan..." Then she became alert, "Frankly speaking, you have seen or heard something recently."
"It's nothing, I'm just guessing if there is. And the last time Dad and Aunt Gua went to my place, they mentioned it during dinner, saying that it's time to arrange a marriage for you and the first sister of the first year, and you can have children. So that there will be no such or such bad women approaching you. Dad and Aunt Gua also said that they are afraid that you and the first sister of the first class will become pregnant before they get married... "
Ning Ji originally spoke casually and said it naturally, but at this moment, he suddenly realized something. He was stunned for a moment. A red flashed across Ning Xi's face on the opposite side, and he slapped him again. On Ning Ji's forehead. Ning Ji held his head, turned his eyes slowly, and then looked at Ning Xi: "Brother, you and the first sister of the first class will not really..."
Ning Xi kicked over, Ning Ji flicked both legs, and even the chair slipped two meters away, and went directly to the corner of the wall, blushing, "Brother, I won't say it again..."
"You, you, what you know, you just talk nonsense. Your first-year sister and I... Come here, forget it, I won't hit you... We are innocent and I will tell you... "
"I'm studying medicine, so I already know what I should know." Ning Ji stomped his neck and raised a red face. He tried to be proficient in adult topics. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but he finally didn't dare, so he moved his chair and leaned over. , "Forget it, I won't talk about it. Don't hit me when I eat."
"Eat ducks." Ning Xi also changed the subject openly.
The brothers then talked about some trivial things. After eating a whole roast duck and various side dishes, they have been practicing internal family skills since childhood, and they consume a lot of food. I got up and decided to secretly give her a pulse when I meet with the first sister of the first grade next time. It's a pity that he only served as a bag-carrying assistant when he followed him to the countryside. Later, he treated trauma in the army for a long time. The hi pulse has never been really called, and I don't know if it can be called out. If the number comes out, they should be warned to get married soon...
But what to say? If she said it in front of the first sister, she would inevitably be beaten again, especially if she had a baby, she would not be able to fight back...
At this time, the brothers were each having their own ghosts, and after the dinner, they parted ways neatly. Ning Ji carried the medicine box back to the yard where he still lived alone.
At this time, the setting sun had already sunk into the west city wall, and the lights of various colors in the city of Chengdu were lit up. Ning Ji changed clothes in the room, came out of the room with a small waterproof package, and then turned over the side wall. , stretched out in the dark and walked towards the nearby creek.
There are many rivers in the city of Chengdu, and he has never inquired about the name of the river that is not far from the courtyard where he lives. When he arrived at a place where no one was at the river, he put on a waterproof pad, wrapped his hair, turned black, and walked directly into the river.
In the distance, there is a flower boat with lights cruising on the water. Ning Ji paddled a dog plane and passed smoothly through the water. After a while, he turned into a lying corpse. After a while, he was at a relatively remote riverbed. ashore.
To take off the water, he let go of his hair and shook the water off his body. He was wearing a thin black coat and covering his face, and leaned towards a yard not far away.
Skillfully climbing over the wall and entering, Ning Ji walked in the shadow of the backyard, and after a while, he followed the wall and climbed up the roof to inspect around. This is a three-entry rich man's mansion. It seems that there are not many people living here. The last courtyard is an embroidered building. Upstairs room, Ning Ji watched for a while on the roof.
"Having a shower so early..."
He murmured in his heart, then remembered what he said to his brother today about having a baby, so he climbed down from the roof, found a place to stay on the outer wall of the second floor, and looked into the window.
This observation position is very good, not only can see the window, but also can see many things in front of the yard.
The hot water for bathing in the room has been put away. Ning Ji is very strange that a woman needs hot water to take a bath in summer, but when she thinks of this woman in the embroidered building, she always looks unhappy, and her health must be very bad. It can also be explained medically.
Not long after, a girl with snow-like skin and long eyebrows came to this room. She was about two years older than Ningji. Although she looked beautiful, she always had a melancholy temperament in her eyes. Don't go. It's no wonder that bad people who come to Chengdu will always die. She probably knew that she would inevitably die here, so she was afraid all day.
Since he had long regarded this woman as a dead person, Ning Ji became curious and looked out the window secretly for a while...
Then, in the courtyard in front, several people came together while joking.
