Chapter 40 Twelve Road Tan Legs

While talking, Li Chong dug out the gift that Lin Wanru said was given to him from his leather bag. He has been looking for a safe place for his family these days, and now he finally has a direction, so he has time to take a look at Lin Wanru What is the gift I gave myself.

After Li Chong exchanged some information with the two brothers, he opened the iron box. Inside was a book without even a title page. One inch, dozens of pages larger.However, it is not accurate to say that it is a book, because the touch is not the touch of paper, but the texture of cotton and linen, which is not broken and very strong.However, after a long time, there are still spots of sweat stains and some musty smell.

"Huh? This is a legwork book." Li Chong opened two pages, each page had half a page of text, and below it was a picture of a leg.

It wasn't until the last page was closed that Li Chong realized that he had read the book upside down.

On the last page, a few large characters were faintly revealed, this should be the home page.Li Chong approached and distinguished for a while, and then he sketched and filled in some strokes in his mind before he could see clearly.

"Twelve Road Tan Legs!" Li Chong exclaimed in surprise.For this kick, Li Chong has long admired his name.As the apprentice of Master Zhao Yun, he can be regarded as a martial artist.In this martial arts circle, there has always been a saying of "Southern Fist and Northern Leg". Since I am a teacher of Zhao Yun, and my master is an apprentice of Master Ye in Foshan, he is considered a master of boxing, so the name of "Southern Fist" should be used. No comment on which boxing method.

But there is no dispute about the "northern leg", which refers to the "twelve-way Tan leg." It is said that this leg method originated from Longtan Temple, so the word "Shaolin" is often added in front of it.

Li Chong was fascinated by this sight, sitting on the deck from sunrise to sunset, if not for the two brothers Shunsheng and Hangsheng bringing over a live fish stewed into soup at noon, Li Chong would have known to take the bowl to drink, The two brothers wanted to have the boat docked to the shore, and a doctor came to have a look.

It wasn't until night fell that he couldn't read the words, so Li Chong got up and let out a long sigh, "Twelve-way tan legs! Combining offense and defense, you really deserve your reputation!"

"Eldest young master, you've said a word! You sat on the bow of the boat during the whole day, and didn't move at all except flipping books."

"Haha, this is a good book!" For Li Chong, this gift from Lin Wanru is simply a priceless treasure. There has always been a saying in the boxing circle that "practicing boxing without training legs is like a daredevil".Of course, Wing Chun has its own rules and regulations, but the skills are too many to overwhelm the body, especially this set of special leg training.

"Young master, aren't your boxing skills very good now?" Following the young master, traveling all over the world, along the way, Shunsheng and Hangsheng saw Li Chong make a few shots, and they were able to subdue others without any effort every time. The second master Li Youcun, who likes to dance knives and sticks the most in the Huzhuang team, is much more powerful.

Li Chong shook his head, "The so-called fierceness is just other people's feelings. In this age dominated by guns, even if a person is invincible in martial arts, it is useless against a few long guns. It is just a little bit more self-protection skills." That's all."

In this way, Li Chong kept flipping through the book on the way home, verifying what he learned from the book on the bow of the boat from time to time, and made a joke about falling into the river twice.

"Young Master, that's the family's carriage!" On the bow, the sharp-eyed Hang Seng said cheerfully, pointing at the carriage parked in front of the pier.Before returning earlier, Li Chong sent a telegram to his home, so a horse-drawn carriage came to pick him up at the wharf in Xinghua early.

When I got ashore, I saw that my uncle Tong was driving a carriage with a nurse.

"Uncle Tong, why did you come out against the sun?"

The old uncle in front of the carriage said with a smile, "I'm old now, and I don't have the energy to guard the door all the time. If you have the strength to ride on this old bone, move more. You can get in the car and do it, young master. Don't underestimate us old people, we are old and steady in driving a carriage."

"Drive! Drive!" Amidst the old man's yelling, the carriage moved forward steadily.In the vast world, there is only the sound of the wooden ruts of the carriage accompanied by shouts.

"Master, we've arrived at Shuizhuang, and we're almost home."

Li Chong's eyes moved away from the book "Twelve Roads Tan Legs", opened the curtain and took a look, and saw the boundary marker of Shuizhuang flashing by the roadside.

"The carriage is back, the young master is back!" The carriage was still tens of meters away from the door of the house, and Li Chong could hear the sound of the door when he was sitting in the carriage.

But when he got off the carriage, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in Du's house.

Looking around at the people, Grandpa's mental state is much better, everyone is missing his father, so Li Chong asked, "Mom, where is my father?"

"Hey, the grain requisition team is here. Your father and some masters from neighboring villages have been invited to a banquet in Zhaduo Town." Mother Chen Yueying said with displeasure on her face.

"Boom!" Grandpa Li Qiantang pressed the crutch heavily on the ground, making a dull sound.

"Since the beginning of spring, this is the third time that the grain requisition team has come. In the past, it only came twice a year. It seems that this 'Sun Zayou' is deliberately trying to make things easier for us country gentry! I really thought we were Is it a fat pig raised in captivity? You can kill it if you want!" Grandpa Li Qiantang's voice was obviously angry.

This "Sun Shayou" is actually referring to Sun Chengtao, the captain of the food collection team. According to rumors, this guy is the brother-in-law of the current mayor of YC, so he got the fat post of the captain of the food collection team.As the largest city in Jiangsu Province, Yancheng is not as economically comparable to the cities in the south, but its agriculture has been good. There is no drought or waterlogging all year round. This is responsible for collecting grain from below. Basically, the landlords and squires of every Zhuangzi, for If these people are sent away smoothly, they will put in some money to take care of them.

At first Li Chong thought that the higher ups were going to prepare for the war, so he collected food and grass. After all, the battlefield opened up in Shanghai would be related to the national destiny, and the mobilization of the army always had to go first.However, in the conversations with his family, Li Chong found more and more that it was not what he thought, because there had been two fundraisers in the name of the Anti-Japanese War. It is reasonable to say that the strategic materials that need to be raised to open up the main battlefield of Shanghai have been raised twice. It's almost there.But this happened one after another, more like the mayor wanted to enrich his own pocket.In other words, as one of the mayors of the thirteen major cities in Jiangsu, the mayor must have heard the news that the war is going to be fought. He is probably worried about his own life and is about to run away. This is not surprising. Many officials and lords have hung their seals and resigned to leave the land of right and wrong.But before he ran away, he had to use some authority to finally make a fortune.

But grandpa and father don't know what's going on outside. As the saying goes, people don't fight with officials unless they have to, so they are still swallowing their anger.

At this moment, in Zhaduo Town, in Yu Feng Restaurant, the earliest restaurant in this town, the landlords and squires of several villages under the town gathered here.

"Master Huang, don't you have people in the city? This year, the grain requisition teams of Spring and Mangzhong have come twice. They are all "anti-Japanese grain requisitions". Each time is more ruthless. This is abnormal. What is the situation?" ?”

This Mr. Huang is called Huang Guifa, the big landowner of the water village, with a total of [-] acres of paddy fields, he is considered the strongest among the squires, and there are people in the city, so everyone gathers around him to find out some news.

At this moment, Li Zhuang. "Dang! Dang! Dang!" The bell echoed in front of Haichunxuan Pagoda, which was the signal for the gathering of the village guard team.
