Chapter 20: Captain's Duties

When there is no confirmation of the connection between his parents and Zhang He, he must not question the injury at will, and can only take his time to find out what happened.

Zhou Fan thought calmly, and the dinner was over soon.

After dinner, Zhou Fan, as usual, held a paper lantern with a small lantern in his hand, said goodbye to his parents, and went to Lu Kui's house to learn martial arts.

Seeing Zhou Fan carrying the lantern farther and farther away and disappearing into the darkness, the melancholy on Gui Feng's face standing in front of the door could no longer be hidden, and she said to Zhou Zhoumu: "Will Afan's injury recur?"

"Probably not. Zhou Zhou Mu shook his head and said, "You see that the wounds are all scarred, Ah Fan is fine, Dr. Zhang said that, just in case." ”

"Why is my child so hard, the injury is not easy to heal, and the lifespan of the bundle of hair is so low......" As he spoke, Gui Feng's eyes turned red again.

Zhou Zhou Mu was silent and did not answer.

"Yimu, should we tell Ah Fan about those two things, I mean Ah Fan's injuries and ......," Gui Feng thought for a moment and asked.

Zhou Zhoumu's face changed slightly, he looked at his wife and said sharply: "Don't mention a word about these two things, don't talk about the other thing first, just the injury, what do you think is the benefit ......of what you said?"

Thinking of that unacceptable consequence, Gui Feng trembled and said, "I won't say it, I just feel that I am hiding everything from Afan, and I feel very uncomfortable." ”

"I can't say it's uncomfortable, even if Ah Fan has doubts, I can't say it. Zhou Zhoumu's voice was low, "Afan's lifespan is nineteen, and it is very likely that he will not have a few years to live, so let him be happier." ”

......

......

Zhou Fan arrived at Lu Kui's house and began to learn from Lu Kui.

"Afan, have you made any progress today?" Lu Kui asked slowly after taking a sip of water from the teacup.

Zhou Fan shook his head, concealing the fact of the beginning of his strength as he had thought before.

"It's not a strange thing that there is no progress, as long as you study hard, I believe you will cross that threshold one day. Lu Kui put down the teacup and encouraged, "Then are you going to practice the Four Awakening Postures with me tonight or continue to learn the last four Postures of the Tiger Twelve Postures?"

"I want to memorize the last four styles first, and as for practice, I can practice it myself during the day. Zhou Fan replied.

Lu Kui did not object, but handed the manuscript of "Tiger Shape Twelve Styles" to Zhou Fan, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me, and I will do my best to answer you." ”

Zhou Fan carefully looked at the content of the last four styles of "Tiger Shape Twelve Styles", and asked Lu Kui if he didn't understand something, most of these questions Lu Kui could answer, and if he couldn't answer them, he also gave some of his own views for Zhou Fan's reference.

After everything was figured out, Zhou Fan began to recite silently, Lu Kui did not disturb Zhou Fan, but stood up and went back to the room to chat with his wife and children.

After waiting for an hour, Zhou Fan had already imprinted the last four styles in his mind, and Lu Kui also returned to the hall from the room.

"Thank you, Brother Lu. Zhou Fan returned "Tiger Twelve Styles" to Lu Kui.

"You're welcome, but Afan, you learned things really quickly, shorter than I expected, and I finished learning "Tiger Twelve Styles". Lu Kui said in admiration, but he sighed again in his heart, but it is a pity that such a smart person has no talent, and it may be difficult to cross the threshold of martial arts.

"Brother Lu, I learned the "Tiger Twelve Styles", then I won't come over from tomorrow night, if you don't understand, I'll come over again to ask for advice. Zhou Fan thought about it and said.

At the beginning, it was agreed that Lu Kui would teach him the martial arts of the patrol team, that is, the "Twelve Styles of the Tiger", but now that he has learned it, it will only be a waste of time to come back again.

Lu Kui was stunned for a moment and smiled: "It's okay, in fact, I don't have anything to teach you, then you remember to say it to Brother Zhou." ”

Zhou Fan nodded in agreement, and he said, "It's still early tonight, so I still want to ask Brother Lu for some questions." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" said Lu Kui with an interested expression.

Zhou Fan said: "I don't know if Brother Lu can tell me about the current patrol team, I mean the number of personnel in the patrol team, the work to be done at ordinary times, and other issues." ”

Lu Kui didn't expect Zhou Fan to be interested in this, he touched his chin and said, "You will know this when you join the team, but if you want to know, then I will give you a brief explanation." ”

Lu Kui recounted it in detail, and Zhou Fan listened carefully.

"That's about it, just ask if you have any questions. After Lu Kui finished the introduction, he picked up the teacup and drank saliva to moisten his throat and said.

"Brother Lu said before that as long as you cross the threshold of martial arts, you are the vice captain, and the captain and vice captain have preferential treatment, so what responsibilities do you usually have to bear?" Zhou Fan asked the question he was concerned about.

The reason why Zhou Fan inquired about the patrol team was to turn around the corner and ask about it, after all, he had already reached the beginning of his strength, and once his strength was exposed, he would be a person at the level of a deputy captain, and he needed to understand it.

In that era, the treatment and duties were generally commensurate, especially for patrols that took on the role of defence.

Lu Kui was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "If we encounter a strange attack, I and the two deputy captains will have to bear most of the danger, this is our duty. ”

Zhou Fan frowned and said, "Brother Lu, it's not questioning your character, what will happen if a captain retreats?"

Regarding this question, Lu Kui laughed and said: "Afan, not only the village implements the method of joint sitting, but the patrol team is the same, the captain will be executed if he retreats from the battle, and his family will also be driven out of the village, driving out of the village is equivalent to death, and the captain does not retreat, and the whole team retreats, so that the captain is killed, and the whole team members will be killed." ”

Zhou Fan's face became serious, this kind of regulation completely tied up the entire patrol team, and when fighting, I am afraid that no one can retreat.

"Who will carry it out?" Zhou Fan asked in a low voice.

"Of course, it is the village to carry it out, and there are village masters and two talisman masters in the village, so there is no problem with the implementation. Lu Kui said lightly.

Zhou Fan understood that although the patrol team was strong, the village had the strength to control the patrol, and he was not afraid that the patrol team would get out of control.

"Are Muramasa and Master Fu strong?" Zhou Fan asked tentatively.

Lu Kui laughed a few times and said, "Afan, of course the three of them are strong, at least I can't compare to them, you will know the details later." ”
