Pirate Song

Chapter 12 Apprenticeship

Lying on his own bed, Gao Huaiyuan has been thinking about this strange old man. Judging from the skill of the strange old man today, it is true that this person must be a master, but he is not sure 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. He has thought about business, reading, and martial arts. The first thing to be eliminated is reading. Once the war starts, it will be useless. He is a scholar, and now he is twelve or thirteen years old. Even if he wants to achieve something in reading, it may be difficult. It is probably a rare thing among scholars.

Gao Huaiyuan was not so arrogant that he felt that he was talented in this area, as long as he read books, he would definitely be named on the gold list, not to mention the intrigues in the officialdom, Gao Huaiyuan was really not interested.

business?Although the Southern Song Dynasty was very relaxed about doing business, the status of a merchant was not high, not to mention that he is now penniless. There is no chance for this ability.

After thinking about it, Gao Huaiyuan felt that it would be a good thing to be able to practice martial arts right now. At least he could practice martial arts well. In the future, when the world was in chaos, he would be able to protect himself. Right now, he didn't think about himself. With the ability to rely on his own power to block the progress of history, 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 the course of history.

In such a mood, Gao Huaiyuan slowly fell asleep. Before the sky was bright, he woke up, tidied up briefly, put on a suit of clothes that fit well, and did not disturb Liu who was still sleeping soundly next door. Son, slipped to the back door, woke up the house slave who was sleeping like a pig, and walked out of Gaofu 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, now that he has nothing to do, it seems good to learn kung fu first.

When he arrived at the south gate, it was still dark and the city gate had just opened, and the dung carts began to enter the city to collect the barrels from every household. This is the best resource for farmers in this era. 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 caring about it, so they let Gao Huaiyuan go 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 walked over there, but he wandered outside the forest until it was bright, but he couldn't find the old man.

"Damn it! I was let go! If I knew it, I wouldn't have been fooled by this old man!" Gao Huaiyuan muttered angrily and turned to go back to the city.

At this moment, a voice came out from the forest: "You slacker, I asked you to come here at [-] o'clock, and you should blame me for being late, it's really unreasonable!" While talking, the old man from yesterday floated out of the forest, Standing in front of Gao Huaiyuan.

"Nonsense, I came here a long time ago, but I couldn't find you, how can you blame me?" Gao Huaiyuan said very unhappy.

The old man's strike was like lightning, and he tapped his forehead with his fingers. Gao Huaiyuan had already seen him make a move, so he quickly dodged, but he was hit hard, and his heart shivered, secretly thinking that this old man is really powerful. I couldn't see how he hit me, so I rubbed my aching forehead and didn't dare to refute anymore.

"I said you were late, but you still dared to talk back! Are you looking for a beating? But on the first day of today, I don't care about it with you. If you want to learn kung fu, you can come running later. If you are later, I will beat you up." Give me a break! Now tell me why you want to practice martial arts!" The old man gave Gao Huaiyuan a lesson with an unreasonable look on his face, and then asked him.

Gao Huaiyuan thought for a while, and then replied: "It's not that I want to practice martial arts, it's you who want to recruit me as an apprentice by force. I see that you are old, and in line with the noble character of respecting the old and loving the young, I will satisfy you. You are disappointed!"

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

"At first I thought you were a good guy, but I didn't expect you to be glib and disrespectful. Just tell me to beat you up, and I will satisfy you!" The old man seemed to have made no move, with his hands still behind his back.

Gao Huaiyuan rubbed his head dissatisfied and said: "How can I just hit? I recovered with great difficulty. If you beat me stupid again, be careful, you will be responsible for me for the rest of your life! You ask me why I want to learn martial arts, that's good, I'll tell you that's it! The reason is very simple, just want to have some self-protection power in case of chaos in the future!"

The old man stared into Gao Huaiyuan's eyes, and asked, "Could it be that you only want to protect yourself when you practice martial arts? Don't you think that you can serve the country by acquiring martial arts?"

Gao Huaiyuan scoffed at the old man's question, and for some reason, after getting to know the old man, he felt an indescribable sense of intimacy and trust, so he didn't hide it from him, and said, "Serve the country? Why? Daddy." The Song Dynasty has always emphasized civility over military affairs, military generals can only be bullied by civilian officials, and how many famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty have a good end? Let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about Marshal Yue. He is dedicated to the country. ...I don’t tell you, you know who died at the hands of him! And now? How many people in the Song Dynasty want to work hard to restore the territory of the Han people? If you go back to the Central Plains in the north, you will definitely not be able to do well! I just want to learn a skill. In the troubled times in the future, a little bit of self-protection is enough. I never thought about being a spearman for anyone! If you are not satisfied , I'll go back and pull it down now!"

Gao Huaiyuan spoke his mind to the old man unceremoniously, even he himself was surprised, how could he say such a thing to the old man, if it were someone else's words, his words would be regarded as outrageous.

After hearing Gao Huaiyuan's words, the old man was obviously quite surprised. He looked at Gao Huaiyuan for a long time, as if he had seen a monster, and then said, "Are you really that idiot from before the Gao family?"

As soon as Gao Huaiyuan heard it, he knew that the old man had already inquired about his identity, so he nodded and said, "That's right, it's true!"

The old man shook his head and laughed: "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 really are a little monster, I like it! Hehe"

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. Ordinary people in this era are so pedantic, it seems very different.

"Oh! 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! Be a teacher for one day and be a father for the rest of your life. You can't help yourself! This is a small lesson for you! I don't care why you want to practice martial arts. I accept you as an apprentice. Hurry up! Salute?" The old man taught him.

Gao Huaiyuan was really not used to kneeling and saluting, but then he thought about it, do as the Romans do, that's the rule in ancient times, not to mention that this old man looks good, it's okay to kneel down on him, so he didn't dare to talk back, saving another blow for nothing, He knelt down obediently and kowtowed to the old man a few times. The old man made a gesture of satisfaction, and then Gao Huaiyuan stood up.

"Since I have already apprenticed as a teacher, master can tell me your identity now!" Gao Huaiyuan was a little confused about his apprenticeship, and he still hasn't figured out what his master does and what his name is.

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

Gao Huaiyuan took a look and found a clean place, sat down in front of the old man, and replied disapprovingly: "It's all obvious. These days, I've heard a lot about things in the north. The rise of the Mongols has become a must. It is a reversal, and Genghis Khan will never be satisfied with just unifying the grassland and then pulling it down. Now we can see his ambition. They first attacked Xixia, and then attacked Jin. Once one day, Xixia and Jin were destroyed In other words, what is waiting for Song is the iron hooves of the Mongolian army. Now no one in the three countries of Song, Jin and Xixia can see this clearly, and they are still fighting in full swing. It's over! Da Song's good life is over! That's why I want to learn some skills quickly, so that I can have some strength to protect myself by then!"

The old man looked at Gao Huaiyuan, as if he was looking at a monster. He was stunned for a while before asking seriously: "Tell me honestly, did your father tell you what you said? Or did someone else tell you?" Pass?"

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

The old man was really a little speechless. After bowing his head and thinking for a while, he sighed deeply and said, "I never thought that I have lived for so long, and my vision is not as good as that of a fool like you. According to what you said, think about it carefully." , There is really such a possibility! 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 they are extremely cruel. According to what you said, everything Everything is possible! After listening to your words today, I really feel like waking up the dreamer with just one word! Song Dynasty is in danger!"
