After a brief storm on the mountain, the journey speeded up a lot.
In just one month, Xu Qingmu has developed an almost unshakable work and rest routine. He must get up at dawn every day, relying on the knowledge of human body meridians and acupuncture points that he has continuously learned from Wang Leifang, either beating or massaging some things that can strengthen the foundation and strengthen the body.
Except for the 36 extremely dangerous acupuncture points, Xu Qingmu did not dare to experiment on his body for the time being, but he tried all the other acupuncture points. It has indeed made his physical fitness stronger invisibly.
What followed was three or two hours of boxing practice. The book "Don't Ask Outsiders" given by Li Chengru, which was touted by Old Man Li as the "number one in boxing" secret book, only recorded three illustrations in the first three chapters.
: Push palm, make fist, block. However, Xu Qingmu still repeats these three most basic moves every day. He didn't even take a peek at the "opening" of Chapter 4 in advance. Officially, it was because the author of the secret book was recorded in seal script at the bottom of Chapter 3.
Li Chengru said: "You can't practice my boxing until you have punched a million punches." Li Chengru smiled and said nothing.
Boxing practice will last until noon, and then it will be lunch time. Due to constant fitness exercises, the body will often feel tired, and the appetite will also increase. In the past, I could not eat a fat man's meal in two meals, but now I occasionally can't.
Shang Xia. Cao Dan often jokes that if you continue to eat like this, you may turn into a pig. Often the speaker has no intention of listening, and the fat man Shen Xiuqi will look depressed and sad.
The trip of the eleven people will start after dinner, heading for the deserted site over there. Xu Qingmu often leaves the team and comes back in a state of embarrassment. Sometimes he is even chased by wild beasts in the mountains. But after returning, he will
Cao Dan kept writing and drawing on the paper. He looked at it several times. It looked like a map, but it was more complicated and detailed than the map. There were many hiding places marked, including small caves that could accommodate dozens of people.
Hundreds. Of course Cao Dan couldn't understand these little thoughts. He asked several times, but Xu Qingmu just told him that these were to save his life in the future.
Cao Dan didn't take this seriously. Cao Dan only thought that the twelve-year-old boy wouldn't do anything rash, so he ignored it and didn't take it to heart.
The beautiful woman had also forgotten the thrilling experience a month ago, and had returned to her original aggressive character. She no longer loved the old beggar as much as she did at that time. One night, after the old beggar took the initiative to approach the beautiful woman and was kicked, the old man suddenly
With a slumped face, he kept talking about how unfeeling women in the world were, and also warned Xu Qingmu to stay away from that spring beauty in the world, otherwise he would get burned.
On a moonlit night, Xu Qingmu stood alone on the treetops, thinking about the woman with mountain-like features.
Xu Qingmu, who once almost died at the hands of a swordsman and walked through mountains and rivers, felt a little happy unconsciously.
When we meet again, I must tell that girl as white as snow that I am thinking of him every time I punch her.
Maybe it's because of the young age when love begins, even if I imagine it in my heart, I feel a little embarrassed. This kind of pure emotion is not mixed with any dirty things in the world, so it is enviable.
The one who has changed the most is Captain Shen Haisu. I originally thought that I could just promise General Wang to protect this humble young man and send him to the battlefield. But after such a month, Captain Shen felt more and more uncomfortable with the young man in front of him.
The maturity and wisdom that belongs to the current age, like the undercurrent that may erupt at any time under the calm water, always make people feel uneasy. The contempt and arrogance towards young people in the past also gradually disappeared during this month of getting along, and were replaced by
An incomprehensible sense of mystery.
After traveling in the mountains for so many days, the three women Wang Leifang, Wei Ruzhi, and Cao Dan finally couldn't bear it anymore. They, who always love to be clean, had not taken a bath for more than a month. Although the weather in April and May was extremely hot, after all, girls love to Mei, it was not pleasant to have even the slightest odor on her body, so she and Xu Qingmu discussed whether they could go down the mountain nearby and tidy up for a while.
The old beggar and Li Chengru, two sleeping dragons and phoenixes, also nodded. It's not that these two half-buried old men also like to be clean, but in the past ten days, Yue touched Shen Hai, who Wang Leifang disliked and didn't take a shower all day. Su, the most beautiful music and music in the world can no longer be heard at night.
After hearing this, Xu Qingmu felt deeply apologetic, so he immediately decided to go down the mountain first and make some adjustments.
So that night, a group of eleven people arrived at a town called Yehuang near the first watch.
"Wow, Xu Qingmu, this town is really luxurious. Look at the lit butter lamps. Even in Shangyang Palace, we don't dare to light so many at the same time!" Cao Dan looked like a peasant woman entering the city for the first time. In general, I felt novel everywhere, holding Xu Qingmu's arm and shaking it excitedly.
Xu Qingmu also felt the luxury of this town and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
Shen Xiuqi beside him was unmoved, like an old boatman who had seen strong winds and waves, looking at the small river around him with nothing new in mind.
The group paid the fee to enter the city, took out the customs clearance documents that had been prepared, and walked into the brightly lit Yehuang City. The soldiers guarding the city at the door wanted to say something, but suddenly shut up in anger and just made a request. , and opened the city gate.
But then I ran into trouble. During that month in the mountains, I lived like a savage in isolation. Where could I come up with money? And without General Wang’s official certificate, I was able to live in that yamen. The current situation was really Being in a dilemma, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am devastated.
"Ahem, if anyone can call me handsome, then I will help you solve the problem of accommodation tonight." Fatty Shen Xiuqi patted his chest and said, but his eyes secretly glanced at Cao Dan.
"Don't be ridiculous, fat man. Come on, take the two pennies I lost to you last time and build a stable together." Xu Qingmu lowered his head and kept flipping through his satchel, as if he had those few pennies of family property in his memory. It's just that I haven't used it for a long time and I have completely forgotten about it.
The fat man was unmoved. He scratched his hair, which was not too long, straightened the collar on his chest, and said:
"I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that I would be alienated in exchange. Let's stop pretending. Let's show our cards. I am the son of the city lord."
They all tacitly stopped flipping money in their hands and looked at the fat man. But after a brief silence, they continued to rummage through their bags, preparing to find the "Accommodation, 328 Wen per night" written on the sign at the door of the inn.
When the fat man saw that no one was paying attention to him, and even the goddess in his heart, Cao Dan, gave a caring look to the mentally retarded, he felt anxious for a moment, so he put his hands in his mouth and blew the whistle with all his strength.
Everyone tacitly stopped moving again and looked up at the arrogant fat man.
The military has always been forbidden to disclose information to each other, so apart from the senior military officers, no one actually knew about each other. Could it be that this fat man is really the future successor of this glorious city?
But as time passed, nothing was out of the ordinary except for the occasional roll of eyes from passers-by. Everyone finally gave up on the fantasy in their hearts that shouldn't exist in the first place, lowered their heads and continued to collect money.
But at this moment, an eagle cry pierced the night sky, and the fat man stretched out his arms. The huge goshawk with a white neck and a black head suddenly swooped down, slowed down as it approached the fat man, and landed steadily on the arm.
"Long time no see, Luo."
Then, before everyone could calm down from the shock, the sound of clanging iron horses sounded in the city. A group of guards stopped behind the fat man, dismounted one after another and kowtowed:
"The Sixth Patrol Team of the City Army is late to greet the young prince. Please forgive me for the young prince!"
The fat man teasing the bald eagle smiled: "Do you believe it now?"
