Chapter 169: The World's No. 1 Swordsmanship
Xin Han walked over, the little girl's father picked him up, and said to Zhang Sanfeng: "Zhang Zhenren, can you borrow your ferry boat to send this person ashore, so that the deceased can be buried in peace?" ”
Zhang Sanfeng said: "That's right. ”
When he saw Xin Han holding the boatman's body, he wanted to take the little girl to his boat, but he didn't expect Xin Han to say to the little girl first: "Little sister, it's good for my brother to take you to the boat over there." ”
Although Zhou Zhiruo was young but very sensible, she knew that this big brother was going to bury her father, so she nodded tearfully.
Xin Han held the boatman in one hand and Zhou Zhiruo in the other, and with his toes lightly on the boat, he took the two of them to the ferry over there.
Zhang Sanfeng saw Xin Han and the two of them performing light skills, lifting weights as lightly and effortlessly, and couldn't help but praise in his heart.
When he turned around, he saw that the Mingjiao man named Chang Yuchun was pale, so he took out the pill, fed it into his mouth, rowed the boat to the side of the ferry, and waited to help him cross the boat.
Zhang Sanfeng also returned to the ferry and instructed the old man to dock the boat, and then treated Chang Yuchun's wounds.
When the boat arrived on the shore, a few people were hastily buried, and everyone returned to the boat, Zhang Sanfeng thought: "At the moment, Wuji can't walk, if you go to Laohekou to invest in the store, this man is a prisoner, I have to take care of the two, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to be thoughtful." ”
He took out three taels of silver and handed it to the father-in-law, and said, "Brother father-in-law, please go down the river to the east, pass the immortal crossing, and send us to the Taiping store to stay." ”
Seeing that several people knew martial arts, the captain was already in awe, not to mention giving so much silver, so he agreed at the moment and rocked the boat along the east of the river.
Chang Yuchun knelt down on the deck and kowtowed, and said: "This little hero and Zhang Zhenren saved the villain's life, Chang Yuchun kowtows to you two." ”
Xin Han stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Brother Chang doesn't need to make this big gift. Touch the palm of his hand. But he felt that his tentacles were cold, and he was slightly startled, and asked, "Is Brother Chang still suffering internal injuries?" ”
Chang Yuchun said: "The villain escorted the little master from Xinyang to the south, and on the way he engaged the eagle talon sent by the Tartars to pursue him four times, and slapped a monk twice on the chest and vest. ”
Xin Han said to Zhang Sanfeng: "Please also ask Zhang Zhenren to show this eldest brother." ”
Zhang Sanfeng walked over and took Chang Yuchun's pulse, but he felt that the beating was weak, and then he untied his clothes and looked at the injury, and he was even more shocked, only to see that his middle palm was swollen. The injury is really not light, if you are a bystander, you can't support it for a long time, this person is running thousands of miles, resisting strong enemies, and he is a real hero.
At that moment, he was ordered not to speak, and to lie down in the cabin to recuperate.
Zhou Zhiruo was about ten years old, dressed in tattered clothes and barefoot. Although she is a poor girl of the boat family, she has a beautiful face and is a stunning beauty embryo, and she is very dependent on Xin Han at this time. Two small hands grabbed the hem of Xin Han's clothes and sat quietly aside.
Zhang Sanfeng saw that she was pitiful and asked, "Girl, what's your name?" ”
The girl said, "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhiruo." ”
Zhang Sanfeng praised: "Good name." Where do you live? Who else is in the family? We'll call the boat boss to take you home. ”
Zhou Zhiruo wept and said: "I just lived on the boat with my father and father, and I didn't ...... anymore There is no one else. ”
Zhang Sanfeng snorted and thought, "Her family is ruined." Little girl, how to place her? ”
Xin Han took the opportunity to say: "I see that the little girl has excellent muscles and bones, and she is a good material for sword practice, so it is better for Zhang Zhenren to include her in Wudang, so as to teach her a place to live." ”
Zhou Zhiruo suddenly spoke: "Big brother, can I follow you, I will do anything to boil water and cook." ”
Xin Han was a little tempted when he heard her say it, but if this girl said so in a few years, he would really agree, but now that she is so old, much younger than Shuang'er, how can she take care of the child.
He refused: "I still have something to do, it's inconvenient to take you with me, so you follow Zhang Zhenren, and I'll see you when I'm done." ”
Zhou Zhiruo's face darkened when she saw his refusal, and she lowered her head.
Zhang Sanfeng was a little embarrassed: "My Wudang are all male disciples, but it is inconvenient, it is better for me to introduce her to the Emei extermination master Taimen, the female disciples of the Emei faction are the majority, and she will have a good response after she goes." ”
Xin Han saw that Zhou Zhiruo was silent, so he comforted her and said that he would definitely go to see her in the future, and Zhou Zhiruo agreed.
I arrived at the Taiping store at the second watch this night. Zhang Sanfeng ordered the ship to anchor far away from the town. The captain went to the town to buy food, cooked food, opened a small table in the cabin, and cooked four large bowls of chicken, meat, fish, and vegetables.
Zhang Sanfeng asked everyone to eat first, and he fed Zhang Wuji.
Chang Yuchun asked the reason on the side, and Zhang Sanfeng said that his cold poison invaded his viscera to point his various acupoints to temporarily save his life.
Zhang Wuji was sad in his heart, Jing couldn't swallow it, and when Zhang Sanfeng fed it again, he shook his head and refused to eat it again.
Zhou Zhiruo wanted to replace Zhang Sanfeng to feed Zhang Wuji, but was stopped by Xin Han: "Zhang Zhenren, I think that the little brother Wuji doesn't like to eat is not his reason, but the reason for this meal." ”
Zhang Sanfeng was puzzled and wondered: "This meal is already very rich, how can it be a meal." ”
"You wait first, I'll go back when I go, and make sure that the little brother Wuji can eat by himself." With that, he left the ship and went ashore in the direction of the town.
Everyone was also strange, and even Zhang Wuji himself was curious, wanting to see if he could make people with cold poison and no appetite take the initiative to eat.
After waiting for a stick of incense, I saw Xin Han holding a copper pot in one hand and a large bag of food in the other.
When Xin Han put the copper pot on the table, added lit charcoal to it, and poured water, Chang Yuchun suddenly remembered what this was: "You are Yuanren's hot pot?" ”
Zhang Sanfeng had also heard of this kind of food of the Mongols, but he had never seen it, and he was quite curious.
Xin Han nodded and smiled: "Although this is a hot pot of mine, it has been improved, and the taste is very different." ”
After saying that, he kept adding ingredients and seasonings, and when he was done, everyone saw a thick layer of red oil floating on the soup, and saw him put red crops as long as little fingers into the pot.
When the soup boils, the air is filled with a spicy smell.
Xin Han put the cut beef and mutton slices and various ingredients into the pot, and as soon as the soup boiled, it was already cooked: "Come to Wuji, you can taste it, if you don't like to eat, I won't force you, big brother." ”
Zhang Wuji somehow, just smelling the fragrance of the boiling soup and became appetizing, Wen Yan picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of mutton in his mouth, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed it in a few bites.
Then, without saying a word, he took the chopsticks and ate big.
Zhang Sanfeng was curious, and he also picked up chopsticks and took a piece of meat from the pot, and when he put it in his mouth, he suddenly felt a hot smell that he had never experienced before.
He was suddenly startled, and his first thought was that this young man was poisoned, but under the operation of internal qi, there was no sign of poisoning, and there was no discomfort in his body except for the heat in his mouth.
"What is this? Why is it so hot. ”
This crop of chili pepper was introduced into China in the early Ming Dynasty, at this time the Yuan and Mengmeng were not extinguished, and the Ming Dynasty had not yet been established.
Chang Yuchun saw the sweetness of Zhang Wuji's food, so he picked up the chopsticks and tasted the vegetables in the soup, his eyes lit up, and then he ate a few big bites, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He is a Mingjiao, so he only eats vegetarian dishes, and he is not moved by meat at all, but fortunately, there are a lot of ingredients in this soup, and he is not bad for him to eat vegetarian foods such as vegetables, mushrooms, and tofu by Xin Han.
Xin Han said with a smile: "This thing is called chili, and the ingredients I put in are the most spicy among the chili peppers, although this thing is easy to get hot when ordinary people eat too much, but it has the effect of warming up the body, and it is the most suitable for the little brother Wuji." ”
He said and beckoned Zhang Sanfeng and Zhou Zhiruo to start, Zhou Zhiruo ate a few bites, and couldn't stand the heat, so she hurriedly ran to drink a few sips of water, but couldn't help but be tempted to eat again.
Zhang Sanfeng was not taboo in meat and vegetarian, and after eating a few large bites of meat slices, he suddenly felt that his body was hot, knowing that this thing had the effect of warding off the cold, he happily glanced at Zhang Wuji, who was still eating and drinking, and was even happier in his heart.
I couldn't help but say: "This chili pepper is indeed a good thing, I don't know if Xiaoyou still has it, I plan to prepare some for Wuji." ”
Although chili peppers can't relieve Zhang Wuji's cold poison, at least it is excellent food for his condition, and it also solves Zhang Wuji's anorexia problem, so Zhang Sanfeng has no choice but to be cheeky and ask for Xin Han.
Xin Han said: "Zhang Zhenren, don't worry, although this chili pepper is rare, it is not expensive, and I will get some for the little brother Wuji when I get back." ”
After the meal, Zhang Sanfeng chatted with Xin Han, became curious about his life experience, and asked: "Little brother, I see that you are excellent in swordsmanship, I don't know which sect and which school you are a master disciple?" ”
Xin Han said with a smile: "My kung fu is self-taught, there is no door and no school, but my light skills are average, is it just this swordsmanship?"
Zhang Wuji had a good impression of Xin Han at the moment, and hurriedly asked, "How is the swordsmanship?" ”
Xin Han said with some embarrassment: "If I say it, you will think I am arrogant." ”
Zhang Sanfeng smiled: "It's okay, you just say it." ”
Xin Han said: "My swordsmanship, in this world, should be the best swordsmanship in the world." ”
Zhang Sanfeng was stunned, with some displeasure on his face, obviously thinking that Xin Han was talking big.
Zhang Wuji pouted directly and said, "Brother Xin is really good at bragging." ”
Chang Yuchun also said: "Engong, I have to say a fair word, aren't you playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong, who in the world doesn't know whether it is fists and feet, Zhang Zhenren is the first in the world." ”
Zhang Sanfeng was hurriedly dismissed by him: "The old way has just lived a little longer, and he can't be called the first in the world." ”
Zhou Zhiruo obviously also saw that these people all said that Xin Han was wrong, so he hurriedly said: "I believe that the eldest brother's swordsmanship is the best in the world." ”
Xin Han smiled and touched Zhou Zhiruo's head: "I'll just say it, no one believes me when I tell the truth." (To be continued......)
