spring ice

In late spring and near summer, the noon is long, especially after a full meal, and people are so sleepy that they feel like dying.The whole martial arts hall was groggy, only the too strong light shone on the grape trellis seemed to be scorching.Even if you meet people during this time period, the efficiency of the conversation is probably extremely low, and when you meet a boring person like Zhang Shaohua who speaks dull words, it is even more difficult to get the idea for a long time, just looking at the opposite person and sighing inexplicably: "I have seen you Scholars, there is no one who sits like you."

After hearing this, Gao Ya was not ashamed but proud. "I haven't read a book, and I know most of the words."

Zhang Shaohua said: "It's up to you. Are you busy recently?"

Hearing this tone, Gaoya knew that it was troublesome, but she couldn't bear to say that she was too busy, so Zhang Shaohua could see through the pause, and said vaguely, "How many walls will be painted for the renovation of Yongfu Temple, I haven't decided yet."

Zhang Shaohua said: "Tomorrow I will go back to my hometown in Guandong to visit relatives, and there is no one to take care of me in the martial arts hall. Come and give me a few days of lessons. Teach Xiaohong boxing."

Gao Ya: "...No, Little Red Fist? I forgot about that."

Zhang Shaohua immediately handed over a book of boxing. "Review first."

Gao Ya: "...Brother, that's it. Although I haven't studied, there is a saying that is my life motto. The trouble with people is to be a teacher."

Zhang Shaohua: "My good fellow, for this matter, I am willing to call you brother."

His tone was flat, Gaoya was ashamed to hear it, and struggled for the last time when the situation was over: "Aren't you afraid that I will mislead your son?"

Zhang Shaohua said: "I didn't expect you to teach martial arts masters. No matter how you make mistakes, as long as you don't miss work, I will pay the wages."

Gao Ya shook her head and said, "Since I said to help you, it doesn't matter."

Zhang Shaohua said: "Yes. So there is one more thing."

Gao Ya suddenly had a bad feeling. "How many pieces are there in total?"

Zhang Shaohua: "Three things are tentatively decided."

As soon as Gao Ya's eyes darkened, she wanted to stand up and say goodbye, but based on her trust in Zhang Shaohua's character for many years and her subconscious need to change her bad living habits, she decided to ask first before talking. "The second thing?"

Zhang Shaohua said: "This, you may not like it. A few friends from the same way in the county plan to sit together in the near future. I can't go, you can go for me."

Gao Ya took a deep breath and smiled. "Senior brother, this is difficult for others."

Zhang Shaohua didn't realize it. "There's nothing difficult. They're all high-ranking bosses, and Xu Liang isn't as big as Xu Liang in total. You can handle it more than enough."

Gao Ya said: "You ask someone else to go for you. I won't go."

Zhang Shaohua said: "You think I'm willing to alarm your ancestor? It's Xu Liang."

Gao Ya sneered, "He wants to see me, but he has no feet? I don't live in the river."

Zhang Shaohua said: "Yes."

After he finished speaking, he remained silent, Gaoya wondered if Zhang Shaohua was a little impatient with his reaction too violently, although he really didn't want to get involved in this kind of publicity, but thinking that Zhang Shaohua might be embarrassed by it, he was inexplicable for a while Ashamed.But he refused without even thinking about it before, and now he let go considering Zhang Shaohua's difficulties, which is unavoidably suspected of being intoxicated.Fortunately, Zhang Shaohua ignored these superfluous gullies in his chest, as if it was a little pity. "Hearing his tone, I thought you two were quite familiar."

Gao Ya sadly recalled that meeting with ulterior motives, and he almost made the other party his confidant. "I'm afraid I can't be familiar with it."

The white light under the eaves is violent and ruthless, and the air in the room is hot and stuffy. As soon as the words stop, the two of them immediately seem to be dozing off.Zhang Shaohua filled the teacup with the pot, and said slowly: "I also heard about the Huashan incident last year. I think you have figured it out."

Gao Ya: "...What did you figure out?"

Zhang Shaohua: "I figured out that being bored at home like this is not a solution. That's why I want to give you the opportunity to go out and walk around more. Don't be embarrassed, to be honest, isn't it a bit technical?

Gao Ya felt a little hot. "It's not technically itchy, it's just..., in short, I stumbled, and I can't help but want to get back."

"Then you should go."

Gao Ya said: "There's no way to go. After thinking about it, I'm stupid, I can't blame others, and there is a matter of face. But face is something that no one cares about except yourself. Anyway, it's not stupid. I haven’t done it before, so it’s not bad this time.”

"You're very open now."

Gao Ya hit her forehead on the table and groaned. "Maybe it's just being stubborn."

"I think you know everything." Zhang Shaohua said. "You just don't change."

"Changed it, I'll change it right now." Gao Ya followed the example of kindness. "I just thought about it in detail. If you really can't get away, senior brother, it's okay for me to say a few words on the scene. But you know that if I behave inappropriately in front of my martial arts friends, I'm afraid there will be mistakes." The face of our martial arts school."

Zhang Shaohua frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? You were asked to take over the class for two days. You said you were afraid of misleading your children and asked you to attend the meeting. You said you were afraid of embarrassing me. When did you develop the temper of this mother-in-law? Eat less vegetables, Drink more, you'll be fine. Now that it's settled, there's one last thing."

Gao Ya feels that the degree of trouble is progressive, so she can't help but prepare for 120 points.Suddenly a loud shout came from outside the courtyard: "Master! Are you there, Master! I'm coming in!" Then there was a crash, the door curtain opened, and a young man jumped in, no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a wasp waist The back of the ape, valiant and high-spirited, sweating profusely from running, first rushed to the teapot on the table, and poured it into his mouth.Zhang Shaohua said: "Cao Cao Cao Cao is here." He said to Gao Ya: "This is the son of Wu Yuanwai's family in South Street, and each name has a word." He said to Wu You: "This is the master Gao I mentioned to you. , from tomorrow onwards, you will learn Little Red Fist from him."

Wu You rolled her eyes around Gao Ya, her first impression was that this person was very young, not much older than herself, because she hardly left the house throughout the winter and spring, her complexion still had an unnatural paleness, and she was lazy. Lazy and lacking the vigor that a Lianjiazi should have, he changed his mind, bowed to the ground, and said with a smile: "I have seen Master Gao."

Gao Ya said: "I don't dare to do it." He stretched out his hand to support him, just as he touched his sleeve, he was suddenly grabbed by Wu You, and he slammed back, trying to pull him to the ground, but suddenly felt a lightness in his hand, as if Grabbing a ball of cotton, he couldn't help but fell down and sat down, his palm was dripping in a mess, he didn't know when he was stuffed with a teacup, he crushed it, and cut his fingers and palms a few times.Seeing that both Zhang Shaohua and Gao Ya were sitting there without moving a muscle, Zhang Shaohua said: "It's ruining things again."

Wu You jumped up, and said repeatedly: "I will pay, I will pay." Then he said with a playful smile, "Master is really good at it, you don't remember villains. To tell you the truth, I beat children to fight cocks in the city." Running dog, from south to north, from east to west, I am familiar with all the characters, why have I never heard of your name."

Gao Ya said: "I'm just a temporary replacement, I'm not a few years older than you, I can't bear the word master." Although the tone is not very enthusiastic, it doesn't seem repulsive.Zhang Shaohua said: "He doesn't walk around much on the road, so you don't know. The shopkeeper Gao of the rice shop on the East Street is his own brother. You can call him the second brother."

Wu You cheered: "Okay, second brother!" Then said: "It's time, I guess the little six should come too. I'll go to the martial arts hall first, and exercise with them." He ran away quickly.

Gao Ya only felt a headache, and said to Zhang Shaohua, "I'm afraid I can't teach it."

Zhang Shaohua said: "You don't have to teach him much, just let him watch him grow too."

Gao Ya said: "If it's so simple, why do you have to bring it up?"

Zhang Shaohua said: "Because he was a loafer and didn't go to school since he was a child, he made friends with bad friends, and his family was also worried, so he donated a military captain and sent him to me to learn some boxing. The adults in the family are worried because they are afraid that he will cause trouble, but I think he's fine and smart, you just need to watch him and don't let him fight with people."

Gao Ya: "I can only see him in the martial arts hall every day, who can watch him at other times?"

Zhang Shaohua said: "He heard about the party, he was very interested and clamored to go. You'd better not stop him, otherwise he will follow secretly."

Elegant and respectful: "You are really my good brother."

It was almost dusk, and Gao Ya came out of the martial arts hall with a bad spirit, and stopped by Gao Shang's shop to report to Gao Shang about the recent arrangements.When Gao Shang heard that he had business to do, he was naturally overjoyed, and he instructed: "Since Senior Brother Zhang told you to go, you should dress up neatly, and go there openly on that day, so don't be looked down upon by others."

Gao Ya numbly retorted: "It's not like going on a blind date."

When he didn't mention it, Shang Shang was furious: "How dare you talk about a blind date! The matchmaker came to me ten times the year before last, eight times last year, and only two times at this time this year. Don't you love me when I say that?" Listen, but you are not young anymore, and now you don’t want to see any of them, when will you be the top?”

Gao Ya: "Don't worry, there will probably be none next year."

Gao Shang was so anxious that he slapped the table. "When you were young, you were smart and everyone loved you. How did you grow into such a recalcitrant character? My parents knew about it, and they must have blamed me for not fulfilling my responsibility as a brother. When did you get the hang of it? "

Gao Ya: "I'm not filial, why are you bothering so much?"

The brothers broke up unhappy.Afterwards, Gao Ya took care of the homework of the disciples for a few days, as expected, the content was very boring, and more than half of the time was spent dealing with Wu You, this young man was full of energy, and after class, he would hook him up and invite him to have some fun. After being rejected, she looks extremely hurt, making Gaoya often reflect on whether she is too out of group.Although I only go to the city for one or two hours a day, it seems that the time is divided and I can't do whatever I want. I have less energy to write, and my thoughts are getting more and more complicated.There was another news from Yongfu Temple that the renovation had been completed, and he was assigned to paint two walls of the Arhat Hall.Then Gao Ya slapped out all the hell images he conceived in his sleep, making all the viewers terrified.

In a blink of an eye, the agreed date came, and the martial arts hall was closed for one day, so Gao Ya packed up and went to the meeting in the Xinxinlou according to Zhang Shaohua's words in the evening.

Wu You jumped three feet high in front of the building to meet him: "Second Brother! Come quickly! We're all waiting for you!"

Gao Yaxin said that he was late, this is not appropriate, he went in and saw that Wu You was talking nonsense, there were still vacant seats at the table, and the expressions of several people present looking at him were probably very dazed.Only Xu Liang stood up immediately, and said with a smile, "Sir." Then he said to the crowd: "Master Zhang from Ziqiang Martial Arts is returning home to visit his relatives, this Mr. Gao will attend on his behalf." His clothes are bright and bright, his tolerance is idle, and he was introduced by such an important person as Xu Liang, so they all responded politely.

Gao Ya returned the salute one by one, and looked around, most of them were unfamiliar faces, top-notch characters, all of whom were called such-and-such heroes, such-and-such heroes, only to see Feng Huanyuan sitting on Xu Liang's right hand, after half a year, his face was strange In addition to his young age, the new head of Huashan is naturally proud of the spring breeze, brocade clothes and jade belt, with a chic demeanor, and smiled at him.The four eyes met, and both of them applauded secretly in their hearts for the other person's dog-like appearance.Gao Ya sat down and poured himself a glass of wine as if no one was around.Everyone continued to talk just now, as if they were discussing some happy event.Xu Liang said: "It's scheduled for June [-]th? Then I must go to bother with a cup of wedding wine."

A bearded man with bushy eyebrows and big eyes said: "Sect Master Xu is naturally the guest of honor. I'm afraid it's not uncommon for us small characters to be the head of the sect."

Feng Huanyuan smiled and said: "What is the name of Gangzhu Zhou? Feng Mou is in this position, thanks to the love of all friends. Don't look at me, please look at Zhongzong. Please come and have a few glasses of wine .”

Chief Zhou laughed loudly: "Sect Leader, you'll be offended by saying that. You are young, good at martial arts, and born well, and now you are the son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai, the leader of Tunan Zhong. Now you are the No. He's a big celebrity, and somehow he has a bright future ahead. It's useless to talk about it, I'll toast you!" Everyone booed and raised their glasses of wine.Du Gaoya sat still, just smiling.Xu Liang leaned over and greeted him: "Sir, it's been a long time since we left last time."

Gao Ya wondered why Xu Liang, a martial arts senior who had been famous for a long time, always took pleasure in making peace with each other, and replied in a pleasant manner: "I'm an idler who doesn't do production, so it doesn't matter if I see you or not."

Xu Liangdao: "Mr. is very humble. I heard that Yongfu Temple was being renovated, and the hell scene on the southeast two walls was written by Mr. Although it has not been completed, I have not seen it. According to the monks who have seen it, they are all lifelike. Hope to see it alive." Fear is very helpful in enlightenment. In the past few years, I have been devoutly worshiping Buddha, and my whole family has been forced to eat vegetarian food. Only when I gather with friends like today can I have a good meal. Seeing this picture, maybe I will eat it willingly.”

His words were humorous, and everyone laughed.Gao Ya sneered and said: "It's all bluffing. How can you believe in this, you people who are willing to benevolent and enmity?" Feng Huanyuan interjected from the side: "What do you mean, sir, we Jianghu people who drink blood at the edge of their swords will eventually fall to the eighteenth level From hell?"

He spoke suddenly, his words were very sharp.Gao Ya glanced at him, and said calmly: "It's just a bluff. There is no such thing as a sea of ​​pain. There is no hell, no world, nowhere."

His few words were very tasteless, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but fortunately, sitting on the table next to him was Wu You, the leader of the prodigal sons, who had already stretched out their fists, shouted and yelled, and in the midst of yelling, everyone also dropped the matter in the back of the head.After drinking for three rounds, Gao Ya quietly left the table. Leader Zhou had been puzzled for a long time, and at this time he hurriedly asked the people around him: "Who is this Gao Ya? A teacher or a painter? Why have I been on the road for several years?" , never heard of his name?"

The man whispered: "You don't know, his ancestors were also considered to be a famous family. By his father's generation, it was already dilapidated and lived on a small property. There are two brothers. Gao Shang is an honest and quiet person. He married a young lady from the Zhang family in the north of the city early on. The husband and wife manage the business together, and there is no shortage of them all the time. Gao Ya is the young one. It is said that he was very smart when he was young. Being able to recite a thousand words every day, Lao Gao pinned all his hopes on him. In the midst of the grass, it was his father who accidentally sent the two of them to learn some boxing at the Self-Strengthening Martial Arts Gym, and Gao Ya was found to be an excellent seedling."

Gang Leader Zhou pondered, "Who did he learn from?"

"Master Liu Zhaowu in the martial arts hall is half a teacher with him. The old man passed away two years ago, and Zhang Shaohua, who is now in charge, is also his apprentice. But Liu Zhaowu's kung fu is notoriously ordinary, and Zhang Shaohua is better than his master. I don't know how Gao Ya's strange abilities came about. When he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he became famous in the Fenghua Festival and won the first prize. gone."

Gang Leader Zhou clicked his tongue twice: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" So everyone continued to exchange glasses.
