That night, the old man Baofu set up a bed for Chang Sihao to live in the grass hut, and got up early the next morning to check Chen Shengyi's injury, and saw that although he was still unconscious, his pulse was calm, and he was relieved.

After breakfast, the old man dispensed medicine and decoction, and the little pendant felt bored at home, so he pulled Chang Sihao to the river to play. The two got on the raft, and the little pendant brought a harpoon, teaching Chang Sihao to spear fish, and Chang Sihao forked several forks, but always missed.

The little pendant said: "Have you forgotten what your father-in-law said last night? When you pick the knife, you have to loosen your shoulders and hands, but when you fork the fish, you use stiffness?

Chang Sihao suddenly, when forking the fish, pay attention to the use of waist strength, relax the shoulders, the harpoon shot is really fierce and fast, fork a big carp, unexpectedly too strong, the body is crooked, almost fell off the raft, fortunately the small pendant pulled in time, this will not fall into the water.

The little pendant said: "You stupid, you only know how to exert strength and don't know how to collect, although the water here is not urgent, but it is the Yellow River, and the undercurrent is surging, how is it a joke?"

Chang Sihao asked: "Why do you have to collect it vigorously? ”

The little pendant laughed: "Wrong, wrong, wrong, otherwise you will fall into the water with a fork, the fork will fall once, and how many lives will be drowned, and you will always be cut down by you? ”

Chang Sihao thought to himself, this is also true. He also imagined in his mind the scene of facing the enemy, and if he missed with all his strength, wouldn't that be a big hole and let people take advantage of the weakness? He used a harpoon as a knife and tried to swing it, and while he struggled, he added a little strength to his hand, and his figure was much more stable.

For him, this seemed to be a posture of responding to the enemy, and the little pendant had already seen it: "Are you practicing the method of making a knife again?" If you practice well, you can only kill people, what's the fun?" Chang Sihao smiled dismally: "It's not fun, but if you practice martial arts well and kill Fanzi back, you can take the city back." ”

The little pendant asked, "Are you going to take it alone?" Chang Sihao said: "The imperial court will always send troops to take it, and I will join the army at that time." The little pendant asked again: "What if you take it back?" Chang Sihao said: "Then you can avenge Lord Cheng and the dead soldiers and civilians." The little pendant continued to ask, "What about revenge?"

When Chang Sihao heard this, he stopped halfway through the harpoon, looked at the rushing river, and was stunned: "I...... I don't know. The little pendant said: "Fanbang people are bad, and the Han people are not necessarily much stronger, and the tax officials in the county come to collect fishing taxes, and if they can't pay it, they beat and scold, and they are not good people." ”

Although he has lived in the border for a long time, the evil officials are bad and bad in the world, Chang Sihao naturally knew, and he groaned for a long time and said: "They are not good, but Master Cheng is good." The little pendant said: "Lord Cheng is so good, why didn't the court send rescuers to save him?"

Chang Sihao's expression was gloomy: "Probably the emperor doesn't know." ”

The little pendant shook his head: "No." Even if the emperor knew that there were traitorous ministers under him, he could not carry out any ideas. My father-in-law said that a few years ago, our Ming Dynasty finally reduced the disaster a little, but there was a big traitor Yan Song, which caused a lot of harm to the country. Although he has fallen now, he has done too many bad things during his reign, and the poison is very widespread, and it cannot be changed for a while, and the border is either barbaric or Tatar invaded, and it is always chaotic, and the common people are becoming more and more difficult to live. ”

Chang Sihao thought of the bitter situation in the city, and felt the same way, frowning and not saying a word. Seeing his depressed expression, Xiao Shenzi took his hand and shook it gently: "Brother Xiaohao, what are you thinking?"

Chang Sihao only felt a soft and hot feeling coming from his hand, looked at the two big eyes of the little pendant, and suddenly remembered his sister, if she was alive, she would probably be as big as the little pendant, and his heart was sour, and he reached out to touch the hair of the little pendant. Seeing a sense of infatuated love and pity in his eyes, the little pendant couldn't help but fly on his cheeks, felt him touch the bun on his head, and smiled lightly: "This is my own comb, is it good-looking?" Chang Sihao nodded: "Good-looking." The little pendant pursed his lips, two wine vortices appeared on his face, and his smile became even sweeter. At this time, the raft traveled to the place where the flow was slow, the water was slow and silent, and the two held hands, each thinking about their own thoughts, their expressions were happy, and they were silent.

After a long time, Chang Sihao gathered his thoughts, stood up, and continued to practice his strength, but the raft was floating on the water, and when he exerted his strength, his feet frustrated, and the raft fluctuated, and he was finally unhappy. Suddenly remembered something and asked, "When you came down from the upstream, the current was very fast, why could you and Baofu Gonggong stand so firmly on the raft?"

The little pendant disagreed: "Actually, these are very simple, as long as you float down from the upstream raft every day, and know the nature of the water, you will understand." Seeing that Chang Sihao was still bothering to think, he pointed into the water: "You see, those aquatic plants, the roots grow in the water, but the leaves on them move along the water, if they are straight, the momentum of the water will be transmitted to the bottom, and its roots will be pulled up." ”

Chang Sihao thought to himself, this is a loose problem again, when the force is added to the body, the body is loose, and the force can be turned into force, if it is stiff, it will be like the bamboo pole inserted into the water, no matter how deep it is inserted, it will be broken by the force. The two forked a few big carp, tied them with wicker, and returned to the small courtyard of the grass house, Chang Sihao told the old man Baofu what he had realized, and the old man smiled: "What you understand is the principle of self-sacrifice and subordination." These four words are easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do, when facing the enemy, people have a confrontation in their hearts, the enemy makes a move, the first thing that comes to mind is to block, to resist, out of instinct, the most difficult to change. And if you really want to be self-sacrificing and obeying others, in addition to changing your mind, you must also know how to listen. ”

Chang Sihao was puzzled and asked, "Strength and intangibility, how can you listen to the law?"

The old man took two pieces of firewood, one was thrown to Chang Sihao, the two held it like swords, and the old man said, "You come and stab me." ”

Chang Sihao's waist urged, and the firewood went straight to the old man's door, the speed was not much faster than when the soldiers were fighting at the head of the city, and he was happy and surprised, happy that he had made rapid progress, and surprised that he was afraid that this style would hurt the old man Baofu. Unexpectedly, the firewood in the old man's hand waved lightly and put it on Chang Sihao's firewood, Chang Sihao felt that although the strength in his hand was not blocked, he changed his direction and softly deviated to the side. He waved the firewood back to hook the old man's waist, but the firewood in the old man's hand seemed to be stuck to his firewood.

The old man Baofu smiled: "This is listening. The force of your body will eventually be transmitted to the front end of the firewood, and I can hear the strength in your body through the change of its direction and force, as long as you follow the path of your strength, you can destroy the center of your strength, so no matter how strong you are, you can't use it, this is the principle of self-sacrifice and subordination. ”

Chang Sihao only felt that it was subtle, it was really difficult to figure out, and he knelt down on the ground and said: "This is subtle, it is really difficult to understand, Chang Sihao is willing to worship you as a teacher and learn martial arts!"

The old man smiled: "I'm a country veteran, how can I know any martial arts, you hurry up, don't tease me anymore." ”

Chang Sihao said: "Your old man explains the tricks of martial arts, and he must be a senior master, living in seclusion here......" The old man interrupted him: "I did practice martial arts for a few days when I was young, but I am not a senior master, don't call me that anymore." I listened to you tell me about helping Lord Cheng defend the city against the soldiers, and I am glad that you are a bloody man, so it is nothing to point out the shortcomings of your kung fu. I asked myself if I don't have the ability to preach and teach and solve doubts, so you don't have to mention this again!"

Chang Sihao didn't listen, nodded his forehead to the ground, but couldn't kneel for a long time.

The old man looked at him for a long time and shook his head: "The magic of use is to be stored in one heart and one mind." If you really have the heart to worship the teacher, it is better to bow down to the Yellow River and learn from the world. ”

"Bow to the Yellow River, learn the law of heaven and earth?" Chang Sihao muttered and repeated, chewing on the meaning, and couldn't help but be stunned.
