"I heard that a ghost guy (foreigner) came to the ** Chinese Medicine House as an apprentice?" There is a rumor from a good person.
"What? (Really)? Isn't that just bullying the master and destroying the ancestors?" the listener said in surprise.
"Who says it's not the case? Alas, the world is in decline and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. The things belonging to our ancestors are actually passed on to outsiders!" The conclusion made everyone sigh.
Not far away is a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Xie Yuan, who works as a waiter, has a natural and gentle smile on the surface, but in fact, he has an excellent ear and is already scolding in his heart:
"Made, what the hell! How many good things have been passed down because they cannot be passed on to outsiders. The final result of neglecting one's own treasures is "We once had a good time", which is of no use!"
"A Yuan, come here and cut the medicine. I'll take a look at the store." The owner's voice came from the door curtain of the drug store.
"Okay." Xie Yuan walked in immediately.
This shop is called Wu's Traditional Chinese Medicine Store, and the owner's nickname is Big Fat Wu. This is an inherited name, because his father is also called Big Fat Wu, and his son will inherit the store and call it Big Fat Wu.
Because when Big Fat Wu's distant cousin came from the mainland, he almost provoked a lard boy because of his gambling, and then Xie Yuan helped pay off the gambling debt.
In view of the huge amount of the money, which could not be repaid within a short period of time, and Xie Yuan was also determined to learn Chinese medicine, Big Fatty Wu gritted his teeth and accepted Xie Yuan as his apprentice in order to repay the favor.
However, Big Fatty Wu soon discovered to his surprise that Xie Yuan was indeed well-founded. Because of the prescriptions given by Master Wan Laisheng, Xie Yuan began to study introductory tutorials on traditional Chinese medicine: "Three Character Classics of Medicine", "Binghu Pulsology", "Properties of Medicine"
"Fu" and "Soup Song Jue", and relying on the increased mental power, I have memorized the four classics by heart.
However, as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, the most important thing is to identify herbal medicines. In traditional Chinese medicine, Xie Yuan actually has to learn a few things: bruises, acupuncture and acupuncture points, medication and pharmaceuticals, etc., which are used in the classification of traditional Chinese medicine injuries.
Just like Master Wan Laisheng, he is a generalist with no distinction between medicine and martial arts. If he has the opportunity, he will also learn Western medicine and be exposed to battlefield first aid and trauma surgery.
At this moment his learning has just begun.
He worked quietly all day and didn't stop until six or seven o'clock. It was just Xie Yuan who stopped the work, because the Chinese medicine store was still open. As a price, the Chinese medicine store did not need to bear Xie Yuan's three meals. Of course, this was also what Xie Yuan requested.
.
If you really open your belly and eat it in front of others... I'm afraid you will scare them to death!
Even if it is a meal full of oil and water, Xie Yuan needs to eat a whole basin of food. Xie Yuan has been studying Dragon and Elephant Prajna for a long time. He tries to eat mainly vegetarian food, but he still cannot completely give up meat and fish because he is a vegetarian.
Can't be full.
However, he usually chooses to eat three kinds of pure meat, namely: first, not seeing the killing, that is, not seeing the miserable scene of the animal dying; second, not hearing the killing, that is, not hearing the sound of its screams.
; Thirdly, do not kill for yourself, that is, you do not kill for yourself to eat.
So if you want to eat Sanjing Meat like this...you can only find a restaurant to eat ready-made. Fortunately, Xie Yuan's space still retains a large amount of money collected from the corpses of dead officers in the Hans Naji building.
Now in Hong Kong, the war has been over for nearly five years. People are beginning to think about sex after being fed and warm, so the market prices of some luxury goods, gold and silver jewelry, have begun to gradually rise.
The extravagant wealth that Xie Yuan holds are all the top-quality European-style accessories he has chosen, so as long as he does not risk his life by selling goods in a gold shop or a pawn shop, he will have no worries about food, clothing and assistance for a long time.
Cultivation.
After a delicious meal of two roast ducks and three kilograms of braised pork at the restaurant, Xie Yuan still had some belly left and returned to the rental house with a sliced roast duck and several sliced meat rolls.
The place where Xie Yuan lives now is an apartment building. The building is not too new. There are many residents in one building. The rooftop upstairs is a public space for drying clothes.
When he returned home, Xie Yuan did not rush to open his own door. Instead, he knocked on the neighbor's door next door.
"Dong dong dong"
"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from inside the door.
"Sister-in-law, it's me." Xie Yuan revealed his identity.
Then there was a sound of cleaning up, and the door opened. Inside was a middle-aged man wearing a black long coat. He was thin and not tall, but his eyes were clear and pregnant.
This is also a martial artist.
"A Yuan, you..." The middle-aged man in black robe looked at Xie Yuan who was knocking on the door with vegetables but hesitated to speak.
"Oh, I bought some food from outside for dinner. I feel lonely eating alone, so I just want to eat with you, Mr. Ye. Do you mind?" Xie Yuan asked, holding the box.
This Mr. Yip's surname is Yip, his given name is Jiwen, and his current name is Ip Man. He is a companion he met when they were on the ship together. After knowing that he was the most important successor of Wing Chun in this generation, Xie Yuan lived with him intentionally or unintentionally.
I saw him living in poverty, so I tried to help him.
After all, his first boxing practice was Wing Chun from Shen Wei, and Ip Man was his master in a sense.
"Uh... Ah Yuan, we... we have eaten." Ye Wen couldn't look away from the meat as soon as he glanced at it, but he still used his will to look away from the meat and politely declined, "You still
Go back to your room and eat by yourself, thank you, A-Yuan."
"Hey, you also know that I live alone in my house. Can you bear with me eating in front of the wall?" Xie Yuan still insisted on eating together, "Just help me digest it. Eating without being popular is a kind of torture."
"Uh... this" Mr. Ye is also in a dilemma. On the one hand, as a martial arts master, he is also a big belly. When he was young, his family had money and property so he didn't have to worry about food. Now his family is in decline... It is a luck to be able to keep food in his belly every day.
, there is no chance to eat enough.
However, their family has received many favors from Xie Yuan. They have received a lot of help from Xie Yuan since they met on the steamer. Even when the landlord came to collect the debt a few days ago, Xie Yuan advanced the payment in advance on the grounds that it was too noisy.
Of course, for everyone who knows Xie Yuan, he leaves the impression that he is generous and generous, without asking for anything in return. When one party is in trouble, all parties support him.
But as a man with a strong heart, he was unwilling to accept too many favors. More importantly, he didn't know why Xie Yuan was so kind to him.
So even for rent, he worked hard to make money and returned the money to Xie Yuan.
And this time it was Xie Yuan who came to help for a legitimate reason... Although he really needed it in his heart, Master Ye really couldn't agree, but he couldn't even refuse.
"You two grown men, don't you feel ashamed to be silent facing each other? Ah Yuan, come in quickly." In the end, Mrs. Ye of the Zhang family couldn't bear it anymore and invited Xie Yuan in.
If you eat meat at home, you must call your children, so Mr. Ye’s son Ye Zhun was also called over to join him at the dinner table.
After the food had passed the five flavors, wine was dispensed with. After the food was removed, Xie Yuan and Ye Jiwen started talking over tea.
"Ah Yuan, you are Russian. It is really rare that you can speak Chinese and Cantonese so fluently at such a young age." After talking about the age, I learned that the bearded Xie Yuan is not even thirty at the moment, so he is more than ten years older.
The 6-year-old Ip Man was treated as a senior.
"I have a good talent for languages, and if I don't understand Chinese and Cantonese, I can't practice martial arts." Xie Yuan explained as he took a sip of tea. Soon he showed a worried look and asked, "What do I need to do every midnight?"
Practicing...didn’t you disturb your sister-in-law?"
"No, no" Ye Wen waved his hands repeatedly. Although Xie Yuan next door did make a little noise at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, the strange thing was that Xie Yuan's tapping frequency was very soft, just like knocking on wooden fish. Not only did it not disturb people, but it actually
Sleep aid effect.
But he couldn't just say that about this.
He was interested in another point: "A-Yuan, what kind of martial arts do you practice? Well... if you have any taboos, you don't need to say it."
"Ah, let me think about it, although I have learned a lot of knowledge, the first boxing I learned... was what you call Southern Wing Chun." Xie Yuan never asked Ip Man's training because of this.
Question, because from whom Wing Chun was taught, there must be a source.
He devised a story for this purpose.
"Well, why do you look so stunned?" Xie Yuan pretended not to understand the situation and looked at the surprised Ip Man and his wife.
