Chapter 972 Diffusion of light and fog in the world (6)
"...The wound on your hand has been bandaged for you. Don't move around. There are certain foods you should avoid, such as...keep the wound clean and change the sore medicine every three days. If you want to take a bath, don't let dirty water touch it.
If you are in trouble, you may die... I told you not to touch the wound..."
The afternoon sun was still a bit dazzling. In the unfinished annex of the Grand Performance Arena in the north of Chengdu City, hundreds of people were gathering to watch the first round of selection for the "World's No. 1 Martial Arts Competition".
Throughout the ages, the economic base determines the superstructure and the appearance of society. Although Chinese civilization has a long history and has many talkative events, the essence of the elite system has not changed since the Wu Dynasty thousands of years ago.
, when people talk about how a society is and what achievements it has, they mainly talk about the appearance of less than 5% of the upper class, and the lower class, which is the bottom, actually has no meaning.
In the past, the Wu Dynasty valued literature over martial arts. Although the three religions and nine streams and the green forest pawns have always existed, when it comes to making their existence concrete, many of the reasons must be attributed to the Bamboo Storytellers over the years, although they are actually impossible to cover
The whole world, but the stories they told were classics, and other storytellers imitated them one after another.
After more than ten years, the concepts of rivers and lakes and green forests have been relatively concretely established in the minds of some people. Even many original martial arts practitioners have no more awareness of themselves than practicing with others.
The "hands-on" method of self-defense. It was only after listening to the storytellers that I finally understood that there are "green forests" and "jiangs and lakes" in the world.
Such a title makes them feel like they have an identity.
In the past twenty years ago, the so-called Zhou Tong of the Yuquan Gym was just a boxer with good skills in the eyes of ordinary people. Many rural martial artists would not have heard of his name.
At this level, you will gradually hear about the Holy Duke and the Nine Appearances of Clouds and Dragons, and then gradually enter the circle of the Green Forest. In fact, this Green Forest is a rather small circle of people with unclear concepts.
It was the Bamboo Records that made Zhou Tong known to everyone, and it was Ning Yi who unified the various gangsters who came to commit suicide through the Bamboo Records into the "Green Forest". In the past, Green Forest competitions were witnessed by at most a dozen or dozens of people.
People compete, fight, and communicate in a small area. Most of the time they gather just to kill, rob, and "do business." These competitions will not fall into the mouths of storytellers and be spread in various ways.
For martial arts practitioners, the biggest officially recognized event in the past was the martial arts competition, which happened once every few years, but people actually didn't care about it, and most of the historical materials handed down to later generations did not record the names of the top contenders in the martial arts competition. Relatively speaking,
Due to people's pursuit of Wen Zhuangyuan, Wu Zhuangyuan basically has no fame and status.
Chengdu’s “Number One Martial Arts Tournament” is now considered an unprecedented “green forest” event. Based on the Bamboo Storytelling, many people have also made various associations with it. In the past, the Chinese Army had held such a conference internally.
, those were all military competitions, and this time it was finally open to the world. During this period, some of the publicity staff of Zhuji also sorted out the stories and appearances of some of the famous people in the world of martial arts.
The number has stirred up the atmosphere in Chengdu like a fight between dragons and tigers, and people doing good things can't help but come and take a look when they have time.
The Chinese Army defeated the Western Route Army at the end of April. Considering the long distance to all parties in the world, it would take time for people to get the news and get here. In the early stage, it was just a big hype with big thunder and little rain. The first round of selection started in June.
It means that the warriors who come first and sign up first will be allowed to compete in the first round to accumulate victory scores, and let the judges test their quality. The bamboo storyteller will make up more stories. When the number of people is almost the same in July, registration will be closed to enter the next round.
By that time, people from all over the world will gather in the capital. The cultural elite can quarrel in newspapers, the more vulgar ones can watch martial arts competitions, roar and revel at sports meets, and parade to visit Jurchen prisoners of war to demonstrate the strength of the Chinese army. At this time, all parties in private
The first round of business cooperation was basically finalized, and everyone was happy to make a fortune together; and in this atmosphere, the National People's Congress was established, the Chinese People's Government was officially established, and everyone witnessed it, it was legal and effective, and everyone celebrated. This is the basic logic of the overall situation.
Of course, since not many people came, the audience for this initial knockout match was not very large after the popularity of the previous few days. But now there are people posted in the booth outside the venue, with names, nicknames, and records.
Portraits of various masters attract the attention of a large number of people every day, and people gathered in nearby restaurants and tea shops often talk vividly about the rumors of a certain master:
"This xxx nickname is xxx, do you know how I got it..."
"This xx and xxx competed in xx three years ago, and only xx was present as a witness..."
Or is it:
"Do you know Lu Tuo?"
"This list was deliberately made by the Huaxia Army. To be number one in the world today, there are about five people who can compete for it. Among them, the most powerful one, you know where Mr. Ning's reputation for killing people with his bloody hands comes from...
"
"But Lin Zongwu in the Huaxia Army calls him 'Chuan Linbei Leg'. Why? This man is tall and thin, and his leg skills are very good..."
All kinds of news and discussions create a lively atmosphere, enriching people's amateur cultural life. In the venue, the young doctor who is only fourteen years old just routinely provides services to a group of green people named xxx every day.
The hero stopped the bleeding, treated the injuries, and told them to pay attention to hygiene.
Frankly speaking, the martial arts competition was really nothing to watch. A few days ago, he had been concentrating on the fights and watching them with great interest, but recently, he had completely turned into a big-faced man with a lazy look and a routine.
Real martial arts masters each have their own strengths, while most low-level martial arts masters are a mess. For Ning Ji, who has seen too many red ti, watermelon, Du Sha, and has been honing his skills in battle for a year or two.
Personally speaking, after watching too many martial arts competitions in front of me, it is really a bit awkward and uncomfortable.
Unable to take action in a standard manner, he could only review standard medical knowledge to balance this discomfort. Seeing the strong man covered in sweat trying to reach out to touch the bandage, he reached out and patted it.
"...I told you, don't touch the wound. You sweat a lot, so try not to exercise in the next few days..."
"Hey!" The strong man was not very happy, "You are a little kid who talks too much. People of our generation who practice martial arts will of course sweat and suffer injuries of one kind or another! A few knife wounds are nothing, look at this
This scar, and this one... just bandage it, and it won't be healed by itself. Look at your little doctor, you have thin skin and tender flesh, and you have never suffered! Let me tell you, a real man should exercise more and eat well.
If you get a little injured, what does it matter? You are still talking about life and death... We martial arts practitioners, don’t worry and be patient!"
Ning Ji glanced at his scar expressionlessly: "Your scar turned out like this because you didn't take care of it well... It was also because you were lucky and didn't have any accidents before. There are all kinds of things that you can't see around us anytime and anywhere.
Small bacteria, the dirtier the place, the more these bacteria will be. If they enter your wound, you may get sick and the wound will deteriorate. These bandages of yours are all boiled in boiling water... Don’t open these bandages for you. Change them.
Open it again when it’s time to take medicine!”
"Thin, thin what?"
"Bacteria." Ning Ji was bored anyway. He looked at the people above who were cleaning the arena, so he accompanied the strong man and said a few more words, "They are small living animals, but they are very small. We can't even see them. They entered
The wound begins to eat your flesh and blood, which means external evil invades. You just blocked the knife with your hand, and the knife on the opposite side was not very clean. If something happens in the future, you may get a fever, or you may die of fever."
"It's very small, so how did you see it? You said you couldn't see it... Forget it, I won't argue with you, a little kid, you are pretty good at it... When it comes to blocking the knife with your hand, what I just said
Little kid, do you understand the beauty of this move?" The strong man changed the subject and his eyes began to shine, "Forget it, you won't be able to see it. Let me tell you, I can dodge this move when he comes.
, but I exchanged injuries with him, and he immediately became afraid. My sword exchanged his sword for another, so I won. This is called meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins. And I tell you, little kid, in a martial arts competition, he came over.
It was at that moment that I struck him. I didn’t have time to think about it. At that moment, I decided to exchange injuries with him. This kind of response requires a lot of courage. Today, I said I must win...
"
"...It does take a lot of courage...Congratulations."
Ning Ji repeated it expressionlessly, carried the medical kit to the other side of the ring, and found a seat to sit down. The strong man who had bandaged his arm also patted the bandage on his arm and got up. He
First, he looked around for a while, seemingly looking for someone, then wandered around the venue boredly, and then walked over to Ning Ji.
"Hey, you, little baby, have become a doctor at such a young age?"
Ning Ji looked forward: "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 Army. The Black Flag Army is a real hero. What I said is ridiculous." The strong man looked rough, but occasionally there were literate words in his words. At this time, he still
Chao Ning Ji bowed his hands and bowed, and then sat down next to him, "The soldiers of the Black Flag Army are true heroes, but if there is a problem with you people above, something will happen sooner or later..."
Ning Ji moved his eyes to the corner of his eyes, glanced at him, and then returned to his original position. The strong man seemed to think that he shouldn't say this, and sat there bored for a while, then looked at Ning Ji's extremely ordinary doctor's attire: "I
Seeing that you have to go out to work at such a young age, you probably don't belong to a good family. I also respect that you Black Flag Soldiers are indeed men. Let me tell you something here. My master is learned and rich, and everything he said is right.
It’s not nonsense, I once said it in private, I’m afraid you’ll black flag and make all the prosperity come to nothing…”
"Who is your master?"
"Don't be angry, baby, what I said is from the bottom of my heart... My master also does it for your own good and didn't say anything bad about you. I think he is right. If you can stay like this for a long time, all the princes of the Wu Dynasty will
, why aren’t there many ordinary people with literary talents like you? It is said that your method can only last thirty to fifty years, and there will be great chaos. The Wu Dynasty used Confucianism to talk about middle, middle, middle..."
"…Mediocre?"
"Yes, you little kid has read a book. It takes two or three hundred years to be mediocre... You see, this makes sense. The Jin Kingdom has been strong for 350 years and was defeated by Black Flag. You guys have been strong for 350 years and you can't say you will be able to do it again."
Being defeated... Is there anything that is difficult to say even for thirty or fifty years? This is mainly to say, if it makes sense, you can just remember it... I think it makes sense. Hey, little kid, you, a member of the Black Flag Army, can really fight
Have you seen those? Tell me what heroes there are. I heard that they will only appear next month... I'm not asking for myself. My boss is much better at martial arts than me.
, this time he is going to get a higher ranking. He said that he can’t get the first place, at least he should get one of the top few... I don’t know what will happen if he fights with the heroes of your Black Flag Army. In fact, there are different methods on the battlefield.
He must be great one on one... Hey, have you ever been on the battlefield? You, a little kid like you, should be able to do it..."
The two of them sat there and looked at the ring. Ning Ji's shoulders had already slumped under the sound of words. He was bored and said a few more words. Unexpectedly, this man was even more boring than him. Recently, the Huaxia Army opened its doors to welcome outsiders, and the newspaper
Disputes are also allowed in the army, so internal orders have been made repeatedly that military personnel are not allowed to beat others because of their remarks.
At the moment, he could only carry the medical kit 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. Not long after, someone seemed to appear from outside the field and waved to the strong man.
The strong man left the venue because he had waited for his companion. Ning Ji took a look and came to him. The man walked calmly. He probably had some internal skills, but half of his hair was lost after training. This was due to the accumulation of hidden injuries in the meridians and was not considered superior.
.I don’t know if it’s the opponent’s boss who is preparing to take the ranking.
The stupid arena on the stage was deciding the winner one after another. From time to time, shouts came from the seats outside. Occasionally, some minor injuries appeared. Ning Ji ran over to deal with them. The rest of the time, he just sat there loosely, fantasizing about himself.
Knocking someone out on the first few moves. That day was approaching dusk and the arena match ended. My brother was sitting in a shabby-looking carriage, waiting for him outside. He probably had something to do.
"I found a roast duck restaurant. The dough is very good and the sauce is good. I will take you to explore it today and eat some delicious food."
Ning Xi recently found Ning Ji, eight times out of ten times, to find delicious food. People who didn't know better thought that he was looking for delicious food in Chengdu all day long. In fact, Ning Ji knew how busy his brother was, even though he was only ten years old.
He is eight years old, but has a lot of things on his shoulders. He just likes to ask people about food and find out what is in his heart. He only goes to explore when he is with his family. If it is really delicious, he will often praise it. If it is not delicious, he will silently complain.
Full stomach.
The two chatted in the car, and Ning Xi asked Ning Ji what he had seen in the martial arts arena, whether any famous masters had appeared, and what level they were at, and asked him if he was tired from the venue recently.
Ning Ji became more lively in front of his brother, and with a slumped face he uttered all the things he had wanted to say for days.
When they arrived at the roast duck restaurant, the brothers booked a single room upstairs. The single room faced the street and could see roads, pedestrians, sunlight, trees and the distant rivers and lakes sparkling in the golden sunset. Before the duck came up, Ning Xi
He took out a stack of files, as well as ink and a brush from the bag he carried with him.
"There are ten copies here in total. You sign and sign at the back."
"what?"
"You don't have to worry about it, just sign and pledge it."
"Let me see……"
Ning Xi curled her lips, and Ning Ji glanced at it a few times. The files were all similar. They were all accounts of Ning Ji's performance on the battlefield by Zheng Qiming and a group of others. Everyone behind them had also signed their signatures: "This is..."
"Of course it is useful. It has something to do with my current affairs. You don't have to worry about it. If you sign and pledge it, it means it is right... I didn't want to find you at first, but there must be a step. You sign the pledge first, and the duck will come up.
.”
"What's going on?" Ning Ji frowned.
"Then can I tell you? Military secrets."
"Is it because of my third-class merit?"
Ning Ji looked at Ning Xi, and Ning Xi held her forehead: "..."
"...Brother, I heard that my father refused to give me the third-class gong. He also wanted to protect me, so forget it if he doesn't give it to me. I don't want it either."
"...You sign first, what they said is not a lie, right? If it is not a lie, this merit should be given, you risk your life." Ning Xi said this, seeing that Ning Ji still hesitated, and said, "And it was dad who asked
The fact that I appealed for you means that he is also willing to give this merit to you. I know that you regard fame as dirt, but this is related to my face, the face of both of us, and I must succeed in appealing... I have been beaten to death these days.
Well, it’s not just these confessions that can solve the problem, but you don’t have to worry about it, I’ll take care of the rest.”
Ning Ji sighed and signed one by one: "I really don't want this third-class meritorious service. Besides, if I appeal like this, it will be sent to my father in the end. If he calls me back, it will be in vain."
I’m busy, I think it’s better not to waste time…”
"You don't understand. After going through the procedure, dad will recognize it. He attaches great importance to this step." Ning Xi said, "Although you are working as a doctor recently, do you know what you mainly need to do in Chengdu?"
"Establish a representative conference and announce it to the world?"
Ning Ji replied like this. Ning Xi was about to speak when the waiter outside brought in the roast duck and stopped temporarily. Ning Ji finished the drawing and handed it back to his brother.
Ning Xi put away the files and waited until the door of the room was closed before speaking: "Convening the congress is one purpose. In addition, we also need to reorganize the Zhuji and Su family, and knead everything together under the name of the Chinese People's Government.
In fact, the leaders in all aspects are already aware of this matter, how to change it, how to improve it, how to mobilize personnel, all the plans are already being made. However, when the Congress is held, the reorganization will be proposed through this Congress.
Make suggestions, then pass the suggestions, and then form a government, as if the idea was thought of by the Congress and everyone was doing it under the command of the Congress.”
The roast duck in the store had already been sliced before it was served, and Ning Xi packed a portion for her brother: "The congress will provide opinions, experts will provide solutions, and the people's government will be responsible for implementation. This is something that my father has always emphasized. He hopes that in the future
Most things should be done according to this step, so that it can become a common practice 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 tastes good... Anyway
You don’t have to worry about it…this sauce tastes really good…”
Ning Xi started talking about delicious food, and the food was delicious. The dusk wind blew in from outside the window, bringing the aroma of various foods on the street.
Ning Xi asked casually: "Xiaoji, are you really not going to participate in this martial arts competition?"
Ning Ji said: "It's not that great. If I were to participate in the youth field, I wouldn't be able to fight."
Ning Xi stopped asking. In fact, the family had always had some doubts about Ning Ji's decision not to participate in the competition. Many people were worried that Ning Ji's mood had not calmed down since he and his mother visited the widows of his comrades. Therefore,
He was not interested in fighting, but in fact, Ning Ji already had a more ambitious plan in this regard.
He has already made a decision. When the time is right, he will grow older and stronger, and be able to leave Chengdu, travel around the world, and meet all the martial arts masters in the world. Therefore, before that, he is not willing to participate in the Chengdu Martial Arts Competition.
Reveal your identity in such a scene.
When he goes to other places in the future, Ning Ji's identity will eventually bring him more dangers 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
As a warrior or some kind of well-dressed young master, a doctor who travels around the world can go further and be safer. After all, no one will kill a doctor casually. This is why he has been practicing medical skills recently and treating people's injuries.
Of course, these thoughts in his heart will not be mentioned to his brother or anyone in the family for the time being, otherwise there will be no possibility of leaving in the future.
Thinking of this, he changed the subject and said, "Brother, have any weird 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, and sometimes you have to show your face, and there might be girls like this to seduce you. I heard what Grandpa Chen and the others said, beauties
Plan...don't let down Sister Chuyi."
He was only a fourteen-year-old boy, and when it came to things like beauty traps, he was really trying to be mature. When Ning Xi heard the last word, she slapped him on the forehead. Ning Ji shook his head, and the slap hit his head.
Passing by: "Oops, my hair is messed up."
He arranged his hair, and Ning Xi couldn't laugh or cry: "What a beauty trap..." Then she became alert and said, "Frankly speaking, you have seen or heard something recently."
"It's nothing, I'm just guessing. And the last time Dad and Aunt Gua went to my place, they mentioned it during dinner and said that they should arrange a marriage for you and Sister Chuyi soon, and you can have children, too.
In case there is such a bad woman approaching you. Dad and Aunt Gua also said that they are afraid that you will be pregnant with the child before you and Sister Chuyi get married..."
Ning Ji originally spoke casually and naturally, but at this moment, he suddenly realized something. He was slightly stunned. A flash of red flashed across Ning Xi's face, and she slapped her again, this time firmly.
On Ning Ji's forehead. Ning Ji held his head, turned his eyes slowly, and then looked at Ning Xi: "Brother, you and Sister Chuyi can't really..."
Ning Xi kicked her over, and Ning Ji's legs bounced, and he and his chair slid out two meters away, directly to the corner, and said with a blushing face: "Brother, I won't tell anyone..."
"You, you, you, you know nothing, just talk nonsense, me and your first-year junior sister... come here, forget it, I won't beat you... we are innocent, I tell you..."
"I study medical skills, and I already know what I should know." Ning Ji frowned and raised his red face, trying to be proficient in adult topics. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but finally he didn't dare and moved a chair to come closer.
, "Forget it, I won't say anything anymore. Don't hit me while I'm eating."
"Eat duck." Ning Xi also changed the topic openly.
The two brothers then talked about some trivial things, and finished eating a whole roast duck and various side dishes. They have been practicing internal martial arts since they were young, and they consumed a lot of food. Ning Ji occasionally glanced at his brother, curious about a certain taboo matter.
He got up and decided to secretly take her pulse next time he met Sister Chuyi. Unfortunately, he only worked as a bag-carrying assistant when he went to the countryside. Later, he was treated for trauma in the army for a long time.
I know if the number can be revealed. If the number is revealed, I should warn them to get married quickly...
But what should I say? If I say it in front of the first-year sister, I will inevitably get another beating, especially if she has a baby and she won’t be able to fight back...
The two brothers had their own secrets at this time, and they parted ways neatly after the meal. Ning Ji carried the medicine box and returned to the yard where he still lived alone.
At this time, the setting sun had already set on the west city wall, and all kinds of lights in Chengdu came on. Ning Ji changed his clothes in the room, came out of the room again with a small waterproof package, and then climbed over the side wall of the courtyard.
, stretching his body in the dark and walking towards the nearby river.
There are many rivers in Chengdu, and he has never heard of the name of the river not far from the courtyard where he lives. It is still summer, and he often came here to swim some time ago, but today he had other purposes. He arrived at the river
There was no one around, so I put on a waterproof water bag and wrapped my hair. My whole body turned black and I walked directly into the river.
There was a flower boat with lights on in the distance cruising on the water. Ning Ji paddled smoothly through the water. After a while, he turned into a corpse again. Not long after, he was at a relatively remote river bed.
Ashore.
After taking off the water, he let go of his hair and shook off the water on his body. He wore thin black clothes, covered his face, and leaned against a yard not far away.
Skillfully climbing over the wall and entering, Ning Ji walked in the shadow of the backyard. After a while, he climbed along the wall, climbed to the roof, and checked around. This is a rich man's mansion with three entrances. People living here
There didn't seem to be many people. The courtyard at the back was an embroidered building. There were maids and servants having sex carrying hot water up to the room on the second floor. Ning Ji watched for a while on the top of the building.
"Taking a shower so early..."
He murmured in his mind, and then remembered what he had talked about with his brother today about having a baby, so he climbed down from the roof, found a foothold on the outer wall of the second floor, and looked into the window.
This observation position is very good. Not only can you see in the window, but you can also see many things in front of the yard.
The hot water for bathing has been put in the room. Ning Ji is very surprised that women need hot water for bathing in summer, but he thinks that the woman in the embroidered building always looks depressed, and she must be in poor health.
It can also be explained medically.
Not long after, a girl with skin as white as snow and eyebrows as deep as blue came into the room. She was about two years older than Ning Ji. Although she looked beautiful, she always had a melancholy temperament in her eyes.
No wonder. Bad people will always die when they come to Chengdu. She probably knew that she would inevitably die here, so she was afraid all day long.
Since Ning Ji had already regarded this woman as a dead person, Ning Ji became curious and secretly watched for a while outside the window...
Then, in the courtyard ahead, several people came together while chatting and laughing.
