In the evening, in Xiao Yuesheng's small courtyard, the sunset was full of slanting and dyed golden red. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are two low tables under the steps of the main hall, one on the left and one on the right, Xiao Yuesheng sits on the steps with a futon, and Xu Zheng and Ma Chunhua sit on the side of the low table.
Mingyue, the big black dog, lay at Xiao Yuesheng's feet, exhaling his tongue, and looked up at Xiao Yuesheng from time to time, as if he wanted to see what he was thinking.
Xiao Yuesheng is passing on their three-character scripture.
He spoke unhurriedly, gently and calmly, with a calm face but a warm gaze.
He plucked a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads in his left hand, said casually, and spoke eloquently, spitting words like beads, and his voice was clear and soft.
Ma Chunhua was dressed in a floral thin shirt, holding her arms and supporting her chin, looking at him in a daze.
In the beautiful eyes, the gaze is hazy and blurry, obviously no longer thinking, swimming thousands of miles away.
"Don't learn! Don't learn!" Xu Zheng suddenly pushed the case.
Xiao Yuesheng glanced faintly, and smiled secretly in his heart, this Xu Zheng, it is rare to be able to endure it until now, although the surname is irritable, it is not incorrigible.
Xu Zheng's eyes widened: "These sour things are useless to learn, it's better to practice with this effort!"
"Senior brother!" Ma Chunhua hurriedly pulled his trouser legs, thin and angry.
Xu Zheng saw that his senior sister was angry, his tone softened, and he lowered his voice: "Senior sister, you are literate, I want to practice, our bodyguards, kung fu is the most important thing!"
"Don't you listen to Daddy?" Ma Chunhua glanced at him and snorted coquettishly.
Xu Zheng's momentum was short, and he said in a low voice: "Senior sister, you go and talk to the master, okay?"
"If you want to say it, I don't care!" Ma Chunhua snorted lightly and snorted in a low voice: "You are so rude to Mr., you are known by your father, and you can't escape punishment!"
Xu Zheng sneered and glanced at Xiao Yuesheng: "He's just a Langzhong, and the master prefers to eat and drink, it's really ......!"
"Shut up!" Ma Chunhua hurriedly said.
She was busy looking at Xiao Yuesheng, and seeing that his face was indifferent, he was still lukewarm, so she got up and said, "Sir, my senior brother is reckless, you don't want to be like him!"
Xiao Yuesheng was neither happy nor angry: "If he doesn't want to learn, just practice!"
"Sir......" Ma Chunhua hurriedly stood up and asked for mercy.
Xiao Yuesheng waved his hand: "Your senior brother is right, instead of delaying kung fu literacy, it is better to spend time practicing, and your literacy is enough." ”
"It's still Mr. who understands things!" Xu Zheng was overjoyed, a little embarrassed, feeling that it was a bit too much just now.
Xiao Yuesheng waved his hand, smiled faintly, and pointed to the courtyard door.
"Okay, I'll go first, junior sister study hard!" Xu Zheng hurriedly turned around and left, for fear that Xiao Yuesheng would change his mind.
"Brother--!" Ma Chunhua stomped on her boots and watched Xu Zheng disappear in a smoke.
"Sir, senior brother, he ......" Ma Chunhua looked at Xiao Yuesheng carefully.
"Go on. Xiao Yuesheng said lightly: "Rong is four years old, and he can make pears." Brother Yu Chang, Yi Prophet, do you know all this sentence?"
Ma Chunhua walked out of Xiao Yuesheng's courtyard, dressed in the glow, and went straight to the martial arts arena.
The martial arts arena is located on the east side of the dart game, which is a flat place with a radius of more than ten zhang, empty, only a few rows of weapon racks, and some stone locks and other things.
At this time, on the martial arts field, it was very lively, and in the afterglow of the sunset, the dart masters and executioners were practicing in full swing, shouting bursts, mixed with the sound of gold and iron, and someone was fighting.
Ma Xingkong sat on a Taishi chair, with his back to the sun, and his right hand turned two iron galls, clanging and shining.
His eyes were blazing and his essence was shining, and he swept around the crowd with a majestic demeanor.
"Daddy. Ma Chunhua stepped forward.
Ma Xingkong turned around and said with a smile: "Chunhua, have you finished reading?"
Ma Chunhua nodded slightly, turned to look at Xu Zheng, who was practicing boxing, bit her bright red lower lip, and said softly: "Dad, senior brother, he doesn't study anymore." ”
Ma Xingkong frowned and swept towards Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng was engrossed, a set of punches were vigorous, decent, he asked, "What did the Taoist say?"
"Mr. said that if he doesn't study, he might as well practice if he can't read. Ma Chunhua said.
"Well, if the gentleman says so, just do it. Ma Xingkong stroked a few strands of beard and nodded.
"But Senior Brother is quite rude to Mr.," Ma Chunhua snorted.
"Hmm-?!" Ma Xingkong frowned: "Really?!"
Ma Chunhua nodded heavily: "Senior brother, he is not polite at all when he speaks to Mr., and he looks down on Mr."
Ma Xingkong patted the armrest, his face changed, and he was furious: "Zheng'er, come over to me!"
He was small, but his voice was like a bell, which shook the entire martial arts arena, and people stopped moving and turned their heads to look.
Xu Zheng was engrossed in practice, he didn't hear it, his fists were whirring, his body was vigorous, and he was quite hot.
"Chunhua, go and call your senior brother over!" Ma Xingkong ordered, turned around and left.
Xu Zheng and Ma Chunhua came to the backyard, in the empty yard.
Ma Xingkong stood in the courtyard, in the open space next to the flower garden, and when he saw him come in, he asked in a deep voice: "Zheng'er, you don't plan to study?!"
Xu Zheng said cautiously: "Yes,...... Master, the disciple is not the material for reading, and his qualifications are dull, which disappoints the master, and he dare not be distracted. ”
Ma Xingkong swept his eyes coldly, Xu Zheng lowered his head, uneasy.
"Well, you're not wrong to think so. Ma Xingkong opened his mouth and snorted: "However, you are rude to Daoist Guanlan, go and kowtow to apologize!"
"Master?!" Xu Zheng's eyes widened with a look of surprise.
"What are you doing staring?!" Ma Xingkong glared at him and snorted: "Guanlan Dao is a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, benevolent and generous, I will not care about you!"
"But ......" Xu Zheng disagreed, "He's just a langzhong!"
"If you are injured, you have to rely on him to save your life!" Ma Xingkong snorted, and his legs came out, quickly and suddenly, kicking Xu Zheng out of the way: "Give me an honest excuse!"
Xu Zheng rolled on the ground, the carp stiffened, stood up, his face was dazed, and he sighed: "Disciple obeys!"
Xiao Yuesheng half-leaned on the couch to read, this is an elegant cabin, arranged by Ma Chunhua, although she is a woman in the rivers and lakes, she is careful.
Under the window, there is a beast stove on the case, wafting out of the fine smoke, the room is fragrant, and it is heartwarming.
This kind of aroma is very beneficial to the human body, it is made by Xiao Yuesheng, which has the effect of consolidating the foundation and strengthening the physique.
The light was gentle, enveloping him, and he suddenly put down his book, got out of the bed, pushed open the window, and a gust of wind blew in, stirring his robe.
Suddenly, a trace of melancholy and loneliness rose in his heart, and the shadows of Liu Jing's women flashed in front of him, and then they were Wan Yanping and them, with jade faces, as if flowers were blooming in front of him, which was amazingly beautiful.
"Alas......" sighed faintly, and he pushed the door and went out, and came to the courtyard.
Mingyue, the big black dog, ran out of the kennel and came to his feet, shaking his head and coquettishly, wanting him to touch himself.
Xiao Yuesheng smiled slightly, with a hint of warmth in his heart, bent down to touch its neck, and closed its eyes in comfort.
The crickets screamed non-stop, the more quiet, the night was as cool as water, the moonlight was hazy, it seemed that there would be a heavy rain tomorrow, he got up and looked at the sky, sighed, and paced in the courtyard with his hands.
Suddenly, his expression moved, and he raised his voice: "Come in!"
The door was pushed open, Xu Zheng lingered outside the door for a long time, and when he heard Xiao Yuesheng greeting him, he had to make up his mind to come in.
He kept coming, Mingyue could hear his voice, but he just whined twice, but he didn't scream.
Under the moonlight, he was shirtless, with a piece of rattan stuck in his belt, strode in, and knelt directly on the ground: "Sir, the disciple made a mistake during the day, and he is here!"
Xiao Yuesheng smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Get up and talk!"
Xu Zheng said: "If Mr. doesn't forgive, I won't get up!"
Xiao Yuesheng said lightly: "Some trivial things, not worth mentioning, how can there be any forgiveness or forgiveness, it's serious!"
"So, did Mr. forgive me?!" Xu Zheng looked up and asked.
Xiao Yuesheng nodded: "Well, get up and talk." ”
"That's good!" Xu Zheng was overjoyed, his legs were forced, and he stood up straight, patted the soil on his knees, and hugged his fists: "Then I'll go!"
With that, he turned around and walked away, like a gust of wind, and disappeared in one fell swoop.
Xiao Yuesheng was stunned, shook her head and smiled.
This Xu Zheng is really a flurry head, obviously forced by Old Man Ma, reluctantly, and still looks down on himself in his heart.
"Senior brother......" Ma Chunhua's voice came from afar, the footsteps were gradual, and she walked in.
Under the moonlight, she wore a floral jacket and a lotus skirt underneath, which was a little more gentle and charming.
"Sir, my senior brother, has he come to make amends?" Ma Chunhua asked softly.
Xiao Yuesheng nodded and smiled: "Well, I just came." ”
Although he smiled, he was very indifferent, and did not invite her into the house to sit, and asked, "It is not early, you should go back." ”
Ma Chunhua wanted to leave, but changed her mind when she heard the words.
She came over to see if the senior brother came, and to compensate for the excitement of the senior brother, but she was a step late and didn't take a fancy to it, which was very regrettable.
She is like a flower, usually in the dart game, and she is also the pearl of everyone's palms, or she stammers, or pleases her, such as Xiao Yuesheng is indifferent, there is no one.
"Sir, don't you blame Senior Brother?" she tilted her head and blinked her bright eyes.
Xiao Yuesheng turned around and said lightly: "Sesame is a big thing, what is there to blame or not, you don't want to sleep, I want to sleep!"
As he spoke, he walked into the house.
Ma Chunhua took a step forward, her body was light and fast, and suddenly appeared, blocking Xiao Yuesheng, and said with a smile: "It's worthy of being a gentleman, there are a lot of adults!"
Xiao Yuesheng frowned, stretched out his hand, pushed Ma Chunhua away, stepped into the house, closed the door directly, and an indifferent voice came from the house: "See you tomorrow." ”
Ma Chunhua stood there in a daze, blinking her eyes thoughtfully.
"Daddy, sir, can he do martial arts?" asked Ma Xingkong while eating.
Ma Xingkong was holding a big bowl, but he chewed it slowly and shook his head: "His body is too weak to practice, otherwise, let him practice, he can't fight, it's always good to be healthy." ”
"That's it, junior sister, you're stupid to read, aren't you?!" Xu Zheng hurriedly raised his head and said, with a grain of white rice on his lips.
"Really?" Ma Chunhua muttered in a low voice, without saying anything more.
After breakfast, she came directly to Xiao Yuesheng's courtyard.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she raised her little hand and wanted to knock on the door, when a voice came from the courtyard: "Come in." ”
She heard Xiao Yuesheng's voice, so she pushed the door in, stepped into the courtyard, glanced at it, and saw Xiao Yuesheng practicing boxing slowly, standing in front of the bamboo forest.
She walked over, her eyes full of curiosity and excitement, and secretly thought to herself, today came very early, and finally let herself bump into it!
She caught up a few steps and came to the bamboo forest, Xiao Yuesheng did not stop, still slowly drawing arcs, moving slowly, but her eyes were closed.
"Sir, but you practice tai chi?!" Ma Chunhua asked hurriedly.
Xiao Yuesheng closed his eyes, ignoring them, his movements were non-stop, continuous, but his movements were like flowing water.
Ma Chunhua pursed her lips, stopped squeaking, and stared at Xiao Yuesheng, staring intently, not letting go of the slightest.
At the time of a cup of tea, Xiao Yuesheng bathed in the morning sun, without saying a word, closing his eyes, walking leisurely, and his face was calm.
Gradually, as time passed, white gas appeared on his head, wisps of it, and later, the white gas was thick and dense like mist.
Ma Chunhua opened her cherry mouth widely, her face was full of surprise, such a situation appeared, it was a very foundational image of internal force!
Xiao Yuesheng slowly retracted his momentum, put his palms under his abdomen, covered his dantian, stood quietly for a while, and slowly opened his eyes.
"Sir, are you practicing Tai Chi?!" Ma Chunhua asked impatiently, handing over the towel hanging from the railing of the pavilion.
Xiao Yuesheng took the towel, wiped his forehead, and nodded: "Well, yes, it's Tai Chi." ”
Ma Chunhua said excitedly: "Mr. knows martial arts, I really didn't expect it!"
"Just keep fit. Xiao Yuesheng said lightly, walked out of the bamboo forest, walked out of the house, paced slowly, and went to the martial arts arena.
On the martial arts field, it was very lively.
In the morning sun, people practiced their own exercises, and the sound of shouting, the sound of gold and iron, the whistling of swords, and the sound of stomping on the ground were mixed together, and they were endless.
Ma Chunhua followed in her steps, followed behind Xiao Yuesheng, and kept asking him when he practiced martial arts and what the heat was.
Xiao Yuesheng turned a deaf ear, just walked, without saying a word, as if he hadn't heard her speak.
Ma Chunhua had no choice but to shut up, but she kept following him.
At the west end of the martial arts arena, Ma Xingkong and Ma Jindao, sitting on the Taishi chair, playing with two iron galls in his hands, his eyes blazing.
Seeing Xiao Yuesheng coming, he got up and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, come and sit, come here, bring a chair." ”
Xiao Yuesheng stepped forward and shook his head lightly: "The head of the dart doesn't have to be polite." ”
A clever runner ran away, quickly moved a chair over, placed it next to Ma Xingkong, and stepped aside.
Xiao Yuesheng was not polite, sat down, and looked around with his eyes.
"Can the Taoist master know martial arts?" Ma Xingkong glanced at Ma Chunhua and asked Xiao Yuesheng with a smile.
Xiao Yuesheng shook his head: "Martial arts, I've learned it, but I've never touched anyone, it's just to strengthen my body." ”
"Yes, I think the Taoist is weak, and it is best to practice martial arts. Ma Xingkong agreed, and said with a smile: "The Taoist chief has excellent medical skills, so he will cure his illness first." ”
"Sir, let's make a move, okay?" Ma Chunhua said with a coquettish tone.
Xiao Yuesheng shook his head and was silent.
He just taught four sentences of the Three Character Sutra, and he has finished speaking, and Ma Chunhua's lesson today is completed, four sentences a day, no more, no less.
Ma Chunhua followed behind him, unrelenting: "Sir, I see that you have practiced Tai Chi very well, maybe, I really can't beat you!"
Xiao Yuesheng suddenly stopped and looked at her: "Okay, don't die until you reach the Yellow River!"
He beckoned, "Let's try your skills!"
Ma Chunhua was suddenly overjoyed and put on a shelf: "Mr. be careful, I'm here!"
After that, he punched out and stepped straight into the middle palace.
Xiao Yuesheng drew an arc in front of him with his left hand, lightly put on Ma Chunhua's right fist, lightly squeezed it, and sent it, Ma Chunhua suddenly flew up, crossed an arc in the air, and with a "bang", fell to the ground, and arrived at the door.
Ma Chunhua sighed, her eyes were full of stars, she fell to the ground and couldn't get up, she felt that her whole body was scattered, her bones were separated, and it was not easy to do it.
Xiao Yuesheng stepped forward, bent down and stretched out his hand, and put it on her shoulder, she only felt a cool breath rushing in, her body was light, and she stood up.
"Sir, ...... you?" Ma Chunhua looked at him curiously, with a hint of annoyance.
Xiao Yuesheng smiled faintly, turned around and left.
Ma Chunhua coquettishly: "Pick up!"
After that, a palm poked out, extremely fast, and the voice fell, and the palm of the hand had reached his shoulder, and he was about to shoot it.
Xiao Yuesheng slipped under her feet, twisted her body, turned sideways, just avoided it, and swiped her left hand again, drawing an arc on her palm.
With a flick and a pull, Ma Chunhua staggered forward, rushed out more than a dozen steps away, and barely stopped.
