Chapter 1031 Scattering Light and Fog in the World ([-])
"...The wound on your hand has been bandaged for you. Don't move around. Some food should be avoided. For example... the wound should be kept clean, and the medicine for wounds should be changed every three days. If you want to take a bath, don't let the dirty water touch it. If you get into trouble, you may die... I said, don't touch the wound..."

The afternoon sun was still a bit dazzling. Hundreds of people were gathering here to watch the first round of selection for the "No.

Throughout the ages, the economic base determines the superstructure, and also determines the social outlook.Although it is said that the Chinese civilization has a long history and there are many great events and events that people talk about, but from thousands of years ago to the Wu Dynasty, the essence of the elite system has not changed. People talk about how a society is and what achievements it has. It mainly talks about the appearance of the upper class who are less than 5.00%, and the lower class below, which never really makes sense.

In the past of the Wu Dynasty, culture was more important than martial arts. Although the three teachings and nine streams and green forest pawns have always existed, if we really want to talk about making their existence concrete, many reasons still have to be attributed to the bamboo storytellers over the years-although they are not actually It may cover the whole world, but the stories they tell are classics, and other storytellers imitate them one after another.

After the process of more than ten years, the concepts of rivers, lakes and green forests have been relatively concretely established in the minds of some people. Even many original martial arts practitioners, their self-awareness is nothing more than practicing with others. The "hands-on" of self-defense, after listening to the storytelling stories, I probably understand that there is a "green forest" and a "river and lake" in the world.

Such a title makes them feel that they have an identity.

In the past 20 years ago, in the eyes of ordinary people, Zhou Tong of the so-called Yuquan Gym was nothing more than a boxer with good boxing skills. Many rural martial artists would not have heard of his name. Only then did I gradually hear about Shenggong and Yunlong Nine Appearances, and then I gradually entered the circle of Green Forest, and this Green Forest, in fact, is also a very small circle of people with unclear concepts.

It was the Zhuji that made Zhou Tong known to everyone, and it was also Ning Yi who unified the various bandits who came to assassinate him into a "green forest" through the Zhuji.In the past green forest competitions, there were at most a dozen or dozens of witnesses. People competed, fought, and communicated in a small area. Most of the time, they gathered just to kill people and rob "for business." These competitions would not fall into the hands of storytellers It was spread in various ways.

For martial arts practitioners, the biggest official event in the past was martial arts, which happened once every few years, but the public didn’t really care about it, and most of the historical materials handed down to later generations did not record the names of the champions of martial arts.Compared with people's pursuit of Wen Zhuangyuan, Wu Zhuangyuan basically has no reputation and status.

The "No. [-] Martial Arts Tournament in the World" in Chengdu is now an unprecedented "Green Forest" event, and based on the storytelling of Zhu Ji, many people have also had various associations with it-in the past, the Huaxia Army held such an event internally. The general assembly, which was all military contests, was finally open to the whole world this time.And during this period of time, some of Zhuji's propagandists also sorted out the stories and nicknames of some of the world's famous martial arts figures in a decent manner, stirring up the atmosphere in Chengdu like dragons fighting tigers, good things for the common people when they are free. , I can't help but come over and take a look.

The Huaxia Army defeated the West Route Army at the end of April. Considering the long distance to all parties in the world, it will take time for the news to be delivered and people to rush over.The first round of selection will start in June, that is, the warriors who come first and sign up first will have the first round of competitions to accumulate victories, let the referees test their quality, and the bamboo storytellers will make up more stories, and wait until July. , and then close the registration to enter the next round.

At that time, people from all over the world will gather in the city, cultural elites can go to newspapers to quarrel, vulgar ones can watch martial arts competitions, scream and carnival at sports games, and visit Jurchen prisoners of war through parades to demonstrate the military power of the Chinese army. The first round of business cooperation is basically finalized, making a fortune together, and everyone is happy; and in this atmosphere, the National People's Congress was established, the Huaxia People's Government was formally established, everyone witnessed together, it is legal and effective, and everyone celebrates-this is the basic logic of the overall situation.

Of course, since the number of people who came was not too many, the audience in this initial knockout round was not very large after the enthusiasm of the previous few days.However, the portraits of all kinds of masters with names, nicknames, and achievements posted in the long shed outside the venue now attract the attention of a large number of people every day, and people gathered in nearby restaurants and teahouses often say vividly A rumor about a certain master:

"This XXX is nicknamed XXX, do you know how it came about..."

"This XX and XXX fought in XX three years ago, and only XX was there as a witness..."

Or is it:

"Do you know Lu Tuo?"

"This list was intentionally made by the Huaxia Army. To be number one in the world today, there are about five people who can participate in the competition. Among them, the most powerful one. Do you know where Mr. Ning's reputation for killing people with blood comes from... "

"However, Lin Zongwu called him 'Crossing Linbei Legs' in the Huaxia Army. Why? This man is tall and thin, and his legs are amazing..."

All kinds of news and discussions converge into a lively atmosphere, enriching people's amateur cultural life.And in the venue, the 14-year-old young doctor routinely stops bleeding, treats injuries, and tells them to pay attention to hygiene for a group of green forest heroes named XXX every day.

Frankly speaking, if we really want to talk about martial arts competitions, there is really nothing to watch. He had been watching those fights with full attention and interest a few days ago, but recently, he has completely turned into a big pie face with routine and tired eyes.

The real martial arts masters have their own strengths, but most of the low-level martial arts masters are in a mess.For Ning Ji, who has seen too many shots at the level of red grapes, watermelons, and Dusha, and has honed in battle for a year or two, seeing too many martial arts competitions in front of him is a bit awkward and uncomfortable.

Unable to make a standard shot, he had to review the standard medical knowledge to balance the discomfort. Seeing that the sweaty man was about to reach out for the bandage he had tied, he stretched out his hand and patted it.

"...I said, don't touch the wound, you are sweating a lot, try not to exercise in the next few days..."

"Hey!" The brawny man was not very happy, "You are a talkative little baby, of course people who practice martial arts in my generation will sweat, and of course they will suffer injuries of this kind! A few stab wounds are nothing, look at this Dao scars, and this one... Just bandage it casually, and it’s better if you don’t have to. Look at you, you little doctor, you have thin skin and tender flesh, and you have never suffered! Tell you, a real man needs to exercise more and eat well. A lot, a little injury, what does it matter, and you are talking about dying...We martial arts practitioners, don't worry, be patient!"

Ning Ji glanced at his scar expressionlessly: "Your scar just didn't take care of it well... It's because you were lucky in the past and nothing happened. There are all kinds of things around us that you can't see anytime, anywhere. Small bacteria, the dirtier the place, the more bacteria there are. When it enters your wound, you may get sick and the wound will deteriorate. These bandages of yours have been boiled... don’t open this bandage for you, change it Open it when it's time for medicine!"

"Thin, thin what?"

"Bacteria." Ning Ji was bored anyway, looked at the top cleaning up the arena, and said a few more words with the strong man, "It's a living animal, but it's so small that we can't even see it. The wound starts to eat your flesh and blood, that is, the invasion of external evils. You blocked the knife with your hand just now, and the knife on the opposite side is not very clean. If something happens in the future, you may have a fever, or you may die immediately.”

"It's very small, so how did you see it? You said you couldn't see it... Forget it, let's not argue with you, you little doll, you pack it well... When it comes to blocking the knife with your hand, what I just said Do you understand the beauty of one move, little baby?" The brawny man changed the subject, his eyes began to glow, "Forget it, you won't be able to see it, let me tell you, I can avoid it when he comes over with the knife. , but I exchanged wounds with him, and he was immediately scared. I exchanged my sword for his sword, so I won. It was just that moment when I hit him, I didn't have time to think about it, at this moment, I decided to change my injury with him, this kind of response, it takes a lot of courage, I am today, I said I must win... "

"...It really takes a lot of courage... Congratulations."

Ning Ji repeated it expressionlessly, walked to the other side of the ring with the medicine box in hand, and found a seat to sit down.I saw that the strong man who had bandaged also patted the bandage on his arm and got up.He first looked around for a while and seemed to be looking for someone, then he wandered around the venue boredly, and then walked over to Ning Ji's side.

"Hey, I said you little baby, you became a doctor at such a young age?"

Ning Ji looked ahead: "The older ones go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the younger ones become doctors, shouldn't they?"

"It's true, you are also a member of the Black Banner, and the Black Banner Army is a real hero. I am talking about Meng Lang." Chao Ningji bowed his hands and saluted, then sat down next to him, "The soldiers of the Black Banner Army are real heroes, but ah, there is something wrong with the people above you, something will happen sooner or later..."

Ning Ji moved his eyes to the corner of his eyes, glanced at him, and then returned to the original position.The strong man seemed to think that he shouldn't say these things, sat there for a while, and then looked at Ning Ji's ordinary doctor's attire: "I think you are going out to work at such a young age, you probably are not a good family, I also respect that you black flag soldiers are indeed men. Let me tell you here, my master has learned everything he said, and he is not talking nonsense. He said it in private, afraid of you black flags. The bustling field has become empty..."

"Who is your master?"

"Don't be angry, you baby. What I said is from the bottom of my heart... My master is also doing it for your own good. He didn't say anything bad about you. I think he is right. If you can live like this for a long time, the princes of the Wu Dynasty , Why are many people who are ordinary in Wenqu descending to the mortal world not like you? It is said that the method on your side can only last for three to fifty years, and there will be great chaos. The Wu Dynasty used Confucianism, talking about middle, middle, middle..."

"... Moderate?"

"Yes, you little doll has read books, you are moderate, and you can only take two or three hundred years... You see, this also makes sense. Jin Guoqiang was defeated by the black flag for three to fifty years, and you will be defeated again in three and fifty years... …It’s hard to tell whether there are three or 300 years, the main thing is to say it this way, if it makes sense, you just need to remember it... I think it makes sense. Hey, little boy, in the Black Banner Army, those who can really fight, you Have you ever seen it? Which heroes are there? Let’s listen to them. I heard they won’t appear until next month... I’m not asking for myself. My boss is much better at martial arts than me. The one who won the first place, he said that he can't get the first recognition, at least take the first few places... I don't know how he will fight with the heroes of your Black Banner Army. In fact, the method on the battlefield is not necessarily one-on-one It's amazing... Hey, have you ever been on a battlefield, you little doll probably hasn't..."

The two of them sat there looking at the ring, Ning Ji's shoulders had already collapsed in the sound of the words, he said a few more words in a moment of boredom, unexpectedly this person was more boring than him.Recently, the Huaxia Army has opened its doors to welcome outsiders, and newspapers are also allowed to argue. Therefore, internal orders have been issued repeatedly, and military personnel are not allowed to beat people because of a few words of the other party.

At the moment, he could only carry the medicine box and move to the other side. The strong man also knew that the child was angry, so he sat there and did not chase after him. After a while, it seemed that someone appeared from the sidelines and waved at the strong man. The brawny man went out from the arena because he waited until his companions left.Ning Ji glanced at it, and the man who came to look for him walked steadily, probably with some internal skills, but half of his hair was cut out by training, it was due to the accumulation of dark wounds in the meridians, not considered superior.I don't know if it's the opponent's boss who is about to win the ranking.

The stupid arena on the stage decides the winner one after another, sometimes there are shouts from the seats outside, and occasionally some minor injuries appear, Ning Ji runs over to deal with them, and the rest of the time he just sits loosely and fantasizes about himself Knock down a person on the first few moves.The day was approaching dusk, the group arena was over, my elder brother was sitting in a shabby-looking carriage, waiting for him outside, probably something happened.

"I found a roast duck restaurant. The dough is excellent and the sauce is good. I'll take you to Tantan today and eat something delicious."

Ning Xi recently found Ning Ji, and eight out of ten times he was looking for delicious food. People who didn't know would think that he was looking for delicious food in Chengdu all day long.In fact, Ning Ji knows how busy this elder brother is. Although he is only full, he has a lot of things on his shoulders. He just likes to inquire about food, and when he finds out that there is something in his heart, he only goes there when he is with his family. , often full of praise, and will silently fill the stomach if it is not delicious.

The two chatted in the car, and Ning Xi asked Ning Ji about what he had seen and heard in the martial arts arena, whether there were any famous masters who appeared, and what level they were, and asked him if he was tired in the arena recently.Ning Ji was a little more lively in front of his elder brother, and with a slumped face, he vomited all the things he wanted to vomit for several days.

So when they arrived at the roast duck restaurant, the brothers ordered a single room upstairs. The single room faced the street, and they could see the road, pedestrians, sunlight, trees, and distant rivers and lakes shimmering in the golden sunset.Before the duck came up, Ning Xi took out a stack of files from the bag she was carrying, as well as ink and brushes.

"Here are ten copies in total, and you will sign and pledge at the back."

"what?"

"You don't have to worry about it, just sign and draw."

"Let me see……"

Ning Xi pouted, Ning Ji glanced at them, the files were almost the same, they were all narrations of Ning Ji's performance on the battlefield by Zheng Qiming and others, and everyone signed and pledged: "This is..."

"Of course it is useful. It has something to do with my current affairs. You don't need to worry about it. If you sign and draw a deposit, it means you are right... I didn't want to find you at first, but there must be a step. You sign the deposit first, and the ducks will come up." .”

"What's the matter?" Ning Ji frowned.

"Then can I tell you? Military secrets."

"Is it my third-class work?"

Ning Ji looked at Ning Xi, and Ning Xi held his forehead: "..."

"...Brother, I heard that my father refused to give me that third-class merit. He also wanted to protect me. If he didn't give it to me, forget it. I didn't want it either."

"...You sign first, what they said is not a lie. If it is not a lie, you should give it to you, and you will work hard." Ning Xi said this, seeing that Ning Ji was still hesitating, and said, "And it was Daddy I appealed for you, which means that he is also willing to give you this merit. I know that you regard fame as dung, but it is related to my face, our face, I must succeed in the appeal... These days, I ran to death Now, these confessions are not enough, but you don't need to worry about it, I will do the rest."

Ning Ji sighed, and pledged one by one: "I really don't want this third-class merit, and if I appeal like this, it will be sent to my father in the end. If he calls back, brother, you will be in vain. I'm busy, so I don't think it's time to waste..."

"You don't understand. After going through the procedure, Dad will recognize it instead. He attaches great importance to this step." Ning Xi said, "Although you have been working as a doctor recently, you know what the main things in Chengdu are, right?"

"Establish a congress and announce it to the world?"

When Ning Ji answered like this, Ning Xi was about to speak when the waiter outside brought in the roast duck, so she paused temporarily.Ning Ji finished the painting over there and handed it back to his brother.

Ning Xi put away the files, and waited until the room door was closed before opening her mouth: "There is one purpose to hold the Congress, and in addition, we need to reorganize Zhuji and Su's, and knead everything together under the brand of Huaxia People's Government. In fact, the big bosses in all aspects already know about this matter, how to change, how to mix, how to transfer personnel, all the plans are already being made. But, after the congress is held, the reorganization will be proposed through this congress proposal, and then passed this proposal, and then kneaded into a government, as if the idea was thought of by the Congress, and all the people were doing things under the command of the Congress.”

The roast duck in the shop had already been sliced ​​before it was delivered, so Ning Xi wrapped a copy for his younger brother: "The congress will make suggestions, experts will make solutions, and the people's government will be responsible for implementation. This is what my father has always emphasized. Most of the things follow this step, so that it will become a common practice in the future. So the appeal is the same. It is very troublesome to appeal, but as long as the steps are reached, Dad will be willing to let it pass... Well, delicious... Anyway You don't need to worry about it... this sauce tastes really good..."

Ning Xi started to talk about the food, and she enjoyed the food. The wind at dusk came in from the window, bringing the aroma of various foods on the street.

Ning Xi asked occasionally: "Xiao Ji, are you really not going to participate in this tournament?"

Ning Ji said: "It's nothing special. If I participated in the youth field, it would be even more useless."

Ning Xi stopped asking.In fact, the family has always had some doubts about Ning Ji's decision not to participate in the martial arts competition. Many people are worried that Ning Ji's emotions have not eased since he visited the widows of those comrades-in-arms with his mother, so he has no interest in the competition. But in fact, Ning Ji already has a broader plan in this regard.

He has already made a decision. When the time is right, he will grow up and be stronger. He will be able to leave Chengdu, wander around the world, and see the world's martial arts masters. Therefore, before that, he was not willing to compete in the martial arts competition in Chengdu. Expose your identity on such a scene.

And when he goes to other places in the future, Ning Ji's identity will eventually bring him more danger than ordinary people.Although he is still young, he has seen many lives and deaths on the battlefield, so he will not be blindly arrogant.Compared with a martial artist or some well-dressed son-in-law, a doctor who travels around the world can go farther and is safer-after all, no one will kill a doctor casually-this is why he has been practicing medical skills and healing people recently. s reason.

Of course, these thoughts in his heart will not be mentioned to his elder brother for the time being—he will not be revealed to anyone in the family, otherwise there will be no possibility of leaving in the future.

Thinking of this, he changed the subject and said, "Brother, has anyone approached you recently?"

"What?" Ning Xi thought for a while, "What kind of person is weird?"

"Well, for example... what a beautiful girl. You are the boss of our family, and sometimes you have to show your face, maybe there will be a girl of one kind or another to seduce you. I heard what Grandpa Chen and the others said, beauty Ji... don't let Miss Chuyi down."

He is only 14 years old, when he talked about beauty tricks, he was really a bit mature, when Ning Xi heard the last thing, he slapped him on the forehead, Ning Ji shook his head, and the slap swept across his head Guo: "Oh, my hair is messed up."

He straightened his hair, and Ning Xi couldn't laugh or cry: "What kind of beauty trick..." Then she became alert, "Frankly speaking, you have seen or heard something recently."

"It's nothing, I'm just guessing if there is. And the last time Dad and Aunt Gua went to my place, they mentioned it during dinner, saying that it's time to arrange a marriage for you and Sister Chuyi, and you can have a baby. To avoid any kind of bad woman approaching you. Father told Aunt Gua that he was afraid that you would conceive a child before you and Miss Chuyi..."

Ning Ji originally spoke casually, speaking naturally, but at this moment, he suddenly realized something. He was slightly taken aback, and a trace of red flashed across Ning Xi's face, and he slapped him again. On Ning Ji's forehead.Ning Ji held his head, turned his eyes slowly, and then looked at Ning Xi: "Brother, you and Miss Chuyi won't really..."

Ning Xi kicked over, Ning Ji bounced his legs, and the chair and the man slid out two meters away, and went straight to the corner, blushing: "Brother, I won't say it..."

"You, you, you, what do you know, just talk nonsense, me and your first sister...you come here, forget it, I won't hit you...we are innocent, let me tell you..."

"I'm studying medicine, so I already know what I should know." Ning Ji pouted his neck and blushed, trying to be proficient in adult topics, and wanted to ask a few more questions, but finally he didn't dare, moved a chair and leaned over , "Forget it, I won't say it. Don't hit me when I eat."

"Eat ducks." Ning Xi also changed the subject openly.

The two brothers then talked about some trivial matters, and finished eating the whole roast duck and various side dishes—they have practiced internal skills since they were young, and consumed a lot of food—Ning Ji glanced at his elder brother occasionally. I became curious about the matter, and decided to secretly give her a pulse next time I meet Miss Chuyi.It's a pity that he only worked as a bag-carrying assistant when he went to the countryside in the past, and later he was in the army for a long time to treat trauma, but he never really called out Ximai, and he didn't know if he could be called out.If the number comes out, you have to warn them to get married quickly...

But what to say?If she said it in front of Miss Chuyi, she would inevitably be beaten again, especially if she had a baby, she would not be able to fight back...

The two brothers had their own ghosts at this time, and they parted ways neatly after the dinner was over.Ning Ji returned to the courtyard where he still lived alone with the medicine box on his back.

At this time, the setting sun had already set on the western city wall, and all kinds of lights in Chengdu were lit up. Ning Ji changed his clothes in the room, came out of the room again with a small waterproof package, and then turned over the side courtyard wall , while stretching his body in the dark, he walked towards the nearby creek.

There are many rivers in the city of Chengdu, and he has never inquired about the name of the river not far from the courtyard where he lives. It is still summer, and he often came here to swim some time ago, but today he has other purposes.He went to a deserted place by the river, put on a waterproof water support, wrapped his hair again, his whole body turned black, and went straight into the river.

In the distance, there are flower boats with bright lights cruising on the water. Ning Ji paddled his dog across the water smoothly. After a while, he turned into a lying corpse. Not long after, he was at a relatively remote river bed ashore.

After taking off the water, he let go of his hair and shook off the water on his body. Wearing thin black clothes and covering his face, he leaned against a yard not far away.

Skillfully climbing over the wall, Ning Ji walked in the shadow of the backyard. Not long after, he walked along the wall and climbed up to the roof to check around.This is a three-entry rich man's mansion. It seems that there are not many people living here. The last courtyard is an embroidery building. There are maids and servants who are having sex with hot water. Ning Ji looked at the room upstairs for a while.

"Bathing so early..."

He muttered to himself, then remembered what he told his brother about having a baby today, so he climbed down from the top of the building, found a foothold on the outer wall of the second floor, and looked into the window.

This observation position is very good, not only can see the window, but also can see many things in front of the yard.

The hot water for bathing in the room has been put away——Ning Ji is very surprised that women need hot water for bathing in summer, but remembering that the women in the embroidery building always look unhappy, their bodies must be very tired. Poor, it can be explained medically.

Not long after, a girl with skin like snow and eyebrows like Yuandai came to this room. She was about two years older than Ning Ji. Although she looked pretty, there was always a melancholy in her eyes. don't go.It's no wonder that bad guys will always die when they come to Chengdu. She probably knows that she will inevitably die here, so she is afraid all day long.

Since he had already treated this woman as a dead person, Ning Ji became curious, so he peeked out the window for a while...

Then, in the courtyard ahead, several people came together, chatting and laughing.
