Chapter 5 Ancient Martial Arts

At this moment, Li Chongjiu, who is sitting in Wang Mahan's house, doesn't know Li Hu's father-son affection for him.But he is also a discerning person, when he heard that the second head was going to whip everyone, he understood where the entrance was.In management, what is emphasized is the combination of kindness and power, and there is also kindness and prestige.Among the seven thousand villages, there are about four hundred people.Leaving aside the old, young, women and children, the disabled, the truly young and strong are no more than a hundred people.Killing more than a dozen people in one breath is not because people are in a state of confusion, but they have to abandon their companions and flee without knowing the canonical punishment, otherwise there will be no prestige in the future.

Therefore, the board must be lifted high and then lowered gently.Of course, there must be a person who sings a red face and a person who sings a bad face.The person who sang the black face in this play was of course Wang Junkuo, and whoever sang the red face was more suitable than himself, the young master.

Otherwise, why not deal with it sooner or later, and insist on dealing with it after a few days, when the injury has healed.Li Chongjiu admired it secretly in his heart. Wang Junkuo, a thick black student, used it brilliantly. If he couldn't understand the meaning from it, he would be too clueless.Such a stupid person is naturally unworthy of being the young master.

Now Li Chongjiu looked at the twelve bandits who were rescued right now.Although their opinion of themselves may not change much, but in any case, they owe their lives.The debt of favor is the hardest to repay, let alone a life-saving grace.

Now, in order to be grateful for Li Chongjiu's saving grace, Wang Mahan is the host, and the twelve bandits gathered at Wang Mahan's house.Wang Mahan's family lived at the east end of the cottage, and built three rooms, which were very spacious.You must know that life in Qiqianzhai is not rich, you don't have to be exploited by officials, you don't have to serve corvee, that is to say, it is better than ordinary people.

But in order to thank Li Chongjiu for saving his life, Wang Mahan's wife, even the woman who cried and fainted before, had to be generous, and borrowed some from the neighbors, and moved some ingredients to the west to fight this. banquet.A meal-sharing banquet for one person and one table is not something poor families can afford.Therefore, it was very common at that time for everyone to eat together at the same table.

Everyone in Wang Mahan's house formed a circle and sat on the ground.During the banquet, there is no joy without wine.Wang Mahan's wife went to a large wine tank in the backyard of the house and scooped up a large bucket of wine.This barrel looks like rice wine made from corn.

But Wang Mahan's wife first sifted the wine through a mesh sieve, and then put it on the fire to warm it up.When warm, the rich aroma of wine comes out.While she was warming the wine, she was in the kitchen, and three women from other families also came to help and started preparing the dishes.

When Li Chongjiu saw the bandits and smelled the aroma of wine, they all looked like greedy worms.But Wang Mahan was quiet, chatting with everyone.Soon after the wine was warm, Wang Mahan's wife scooped out the wine with a bamboo spoon.Wang Mahan first poured a small bowl for Li Chongjiu, and then poured a small bowl for himself.As for the rest of everyone, pour half a bowl first.

Wang Mahan raised the bowl first, and said: "Young master, you are a straightforward person, and you have offended me a lot in the past."

"Today, alas, I don't say anything, I respect you."

After finishing speaking, Wang Mahan didn't care whether the wine was still warm, so he gulped it down in one gulp, it seemed that he was born with a bold temper.Li Chongjiu smiled slightly. Although these bandits were vulgar, they were straightforward and easy to deal with.In his previous life, he was used to seeing people in suits and leather shoes in the mall who were polite, but with a knife behind his back, at least getting along with these people now is at ease.

Li Chongjiu also gradually got used to his identity as a bandit in his heart, and said immediately: "Brother Wang, you are serious." After speaking, Li Chongjiu took the wine bowl and drank it slowly.

"Be less in charge, drink better!"

Seeing that Li Chongjiu exposed the bottom of the bowl, all the bandits gave sky-high cheers.

"Come on, Young Master, I, Niu Erjin, will respect you a bowl! To be honest, in the past, you were nothing more than a ostentatious show, and you were not worth it. Today's matter, I will keep it in my heart."

"I really can't speak."

At that moment, several bandits cursed out of their mouths.

This Niu Er is about the same age as Li Chongjiu, he is also the youngest among the twelve bandits, when Wang Junkuo whipped him just now, he was the only bandit crying.

Wang Mahan rolled his eyes, and said: "Even the brat, stand up and toast, be careful of your adults hammering you."

"Dad and mother won't hit me?"

Just when Niu Erjin was blushing and wanted to argue with Wang Mahan.But Li Chongjiu stood up, poured half a bowl of rice wine, and said, "Come on, let's do it."

After finishing speaking, Li Chongjiu put the wine bowl to his lips and drank it dry.

The bandit at the side spoke in a low voice, "I never knew that the head of the family is so heroic and can drink so well."

"Yeah, I also saw it for the first time today."

"Haha, Wang Mahan, don't be reluctant to part with your wine."

Li Chongjiu drank two glasses of wine and smiled slightly. He has been fighting in the mall for many years, and he has never seen anyone who is his opponent when it comes to drinking.

Especially this kind of undistilled wine, the taste of the wine is very light, drinking it like white water, but he didn't pretend to be brave, he just swallowed the wine slowly.

Three cups of turmoil, the five mountains are upside down.Although they are all bandits, they are also bloody men from Yanzhao. When others respect me, I respect others.All the thieves couldn't help giving their thumbs up when they saw Li Chongjiu drinking simply.If Li Chongjiu saved them just now, he was just thanking him for saving their lives, but now they all feel that the young master is a bit heroic and dry.Everyone wondered in their hearts, why this young master is completely different from the past.

Li Chongjiu was a big drinker, and all the twelve bandits stood up and toasted.Li Chongjiu drank until the glass was dry, and he drank every one.All the thieves have changed from being amazed before to admiring now.If you drink too much, you will be more angry. The ancient hero who does not drink too much.

All the thieves put down their wine bowls and looked at Wang Mahan stealthily, but they didn't seem to have any intention of teasing him.And Wang Mahan is also convinced now.Just when everyone was drinking.Wang Mahan's wife first served a large plate of pig offal.

The pork offal has been scooped up in the soup, so it is boiled for nothing.Three pig hearts, sliced ​​into eight pieces, sprinkled with some chopped green onion, and the intestines and stomachs are also surrounded by a circle around the bowl.Mutton is common in the north, but pork is rare.So everyone is overjoyed if they have pigs in the water and eat meat.

The thieves were also not polite, they took garlic and dipped it in to eat.If you want to eat mutton, it is best to serve it with pepper, but pepper needs to be imported from the Western Regions, and the common people cannot afford it, but you don’t need to be so particular about eating pork, just dip it with garlic.Afterwards, pots of hot dishes were brought out, such as pork, sheep and fish, tender chicken stuffed with goose, lotus root (Note 2) leeks, and mushrooms.

After three glasses of wine, although the dishes are rough, they are full of meat.It is the life of bandits who gorge on wine, gorge on meat, and divide their money.Not long after, the crowd was already full of foolishness, making a face like Guan Gong, and Li Chongjiu's face was also a bit wine-colored, but his eyes became clearer.

At the moment, everyone opened up their chatterboxes, chatting all over the world.A group of rough men gathered together, and all they talked about except women was sticks and fists.For Li Chongjiu, everyone was ashamed of losing to Li Sanniang last time, so there was a tacit understanding not to talk about it.

Speaking of kung fu with fists, feet and sticks, Wang Junkuo is the first in the cottage, and Li Chongjiu's father fought in a robbery a few years ago.Next, there are the other three masters, each with good martial arts.

Li Chongjiu has always wondered how powerful the ancient Chinese martial arts are now after traveling to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.Li Yuanba, Yuwen Chengdu, and Luo Cheng's bravery are just a bit of a romance and a bit of a historical fact.Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, how far are their martial arts?Is there a strong enemy against a hundred people, a fierce general of ten thousand people?At the moment Li Chongjiu brought up the topic quietly to Wang Junkuo's martial arts.

Although Wang Mahan looks rough and bold on the outside, he has a meticulous mind, and when it comes to martial arts, he is even clearer: "Needless to say, the martial arts of the second master, the strength of his arms is hundreds of catties, like a dozen people, he is not close to his body. "

"However, if it comes to the enemy of a hundred people, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"The enemy of a hundred people may exist in this world, but if it is an enemy of a thousand people, a certain family does not believe it, let alone an enemy of ten thousand people."

Li Chongjiu nodded when he heard what Wang Mahan said.In his opinion, this is closer to the facts, but from the words of several bandits, he knows that in terms of strength, the king of the cottage, Ma Han, is second only to Wang Junkuo.

This man used to use two big Xuanhua axes. When he met officers and soldiers, he would split them in half.After Wang Mahan finished speaking, there were a few more people talking in a hurry.They didn't believe Wang Mahan's words, they just respected Wang Junkuo's martial arts.

chatting.Li Chongjiu also found out that after Wang Junkuo joined Qiqianzhai, Li Hu had intentionally asked Li Chongjiu to worship Wang Junkuo as his teacher and learn a good skill.I remember that Wang Junkuo was very hesitant at that time. First, he squeezed his muscles and bones all over his body, and then ordered himself to take a horse stance. If he could last for two hours, he could become his disciple.It's a pity that at that time, I couldn't hold on to it for less than half an hour, so it didn't work, so I didn't include it.

Hearing this, Li Chongjiu had a general understanding of ancient martial arts.First of all, Wang Junkuo must have practiced some kind of ancient martial arts, otherwise Li Hu would not let himself apprentice.Secondly, this kind of ancient martial arts has strict requirements on human qualifications. It cannot be practiced by ordinary people, but only those who can meet the conditions.

And Li Chongjiu obviously did not meet Wang Junkuo's requirements in terms of qualifications.This made Li Chongjiu a little disappointed, but in his opinion, it was nothing. The ancient martial arts in the world should not be limited to Wang Junkuo.Now that we have come to this era, we have to see it anyway, so that it is not a waste of time to take a trip.
