Washing powder [Comprehensive martial arts]

In the sweltering afternoon, there were only two or three customers left in the Zhonghua Pavilion, and the shopkeeper supported his head, dozing off while making calculations.

"Hello." Yu Man stood in front of the counter, holding the two little heads of Nie Feng and Duan Lang in her hands.

The shopkeeper woke up and looked up to see a woman wearing a plain turban with half of her face covered. She thought it was a customer entering the store, and she opened her mouth to call out the lazy guy.

"Excuse me, is the boss there?" Yu Man asked.

In order to avoid troubles, she covered half of her face, only showing her forehead as clean as jade and a pair of charming eyebrows.

The shopkeeper was taken aback, "What's the matter, lady?"

Yu Man smiled and clarified the words tactfully, "I have admired the name of the Pavilion Master of the Zhonghua Pavilion for a long time, and this concubine is here to pay a special visit today."

She worked tirelessly and traveled thousands of miles to find this place, just to embrace the martial arts myth and free Nie Feng from the fate of being collected by that pervert Xiongba.

The shopkeeper looked puzzled, "What pavilion master? The lady went to the wrong door to find the wrong person."

"This is a meeting gift." Yu Man put the Xueyin Knife, which had been wrapped several times and whose knife shape was no longer visible, on the counter, "Please pass it on for me."

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed, flipped through the account book and adjusted the abacus, and put Yu Man aside.Yu Man waited quietly for a while, not in a hurry, and finally led Nie Feng and Duanlang to find a table nearby and sat down, leaving the Xueyin knife on the counter.

Not long after, the clerk in the store came over with a wide smile, and his voice was not deliberately lowered, no different from the guests he usually entertained.

"The lady comes with me."

Yu Man stood up and glanced at the counter. The Xueyin Knife was gone, and the shopkeeper was lazily flipping through the account books, as if nothing had happened.

Yu Man and her two sons followed behind the clerk, went out through the back door of the main building of the hotel, entered the backyard, and heard a faint sound of music.Continuing to walk into the depths of the house, the bleak and sad strings gradually became clear, and she could hear someone playing the erhu.

Walking to a certain place, the man pointed to the front, then bowed to Yu Man and left.

There are tables and chairs in front of the room, and the real Xueyin knife is lying on the table. The man playing the erhu has his eyes closed, his eyebrows are slightly frowned, and he looks deeply immersed in the artistic conception.A ten-year-old boy in white clothes stands tall and straight, holding a sword.

After a while, the music stopped, and the man slowly opened his vicissitudes of life and retracted his bow.

The boy took over the erhu, and the man freed his hand to pick up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and then looked up at Yu Man.

"who are you?"

Yu Man listened to the erhu in the wind for a long time, her eyes filled with tears.

"Grandfather Nie Renwang." There was still a trace of sobs in the words.

She thought, saying Yan Ying's name, Wuming might not know her, but it was better to carry out the signboard of King Nie, which was simple and clear.

"Why are you looking for me?" Wuming stared at Yu Man with calm eyes.

Yu Man twitched and briefly narrated the short story of the fight between King Nie Ren and Duan Shuai, who ended up being dragged into the cave by the Huo Qilin who disturbed his dream.

"My husband was in a sudden disaster, and we orphans and widows are desperate, so we ask your husband for protection."

As they said that, Nie Feng and Duanlang, who already had training experience, knelt down in front of Wuming with a plop.

"This is my son Nie Feng, and this is Duan Lang, the son of Duan Shuai. I beg you to accept them as disciples, let them learn the character of your husband and be righteous people."

Wuming was silent for a long time, Yu Man was about to make persistent efforts to say something, when he heard him sigh.

"Nie Ren Wang and Duan Shuai are as famous in the world, and they are both famous figures in today's martial arts."

"Although I have never met the two of them, since you asked me, I will not just sit idly by."

When Yu Man heard this, she knew there was something to be said for it, her eyes immediately filled with smiles, and was about to urge Nie Feng and Duan Lang to quickly kowtow to call Master, when Wu Ming continued with two words in a deep voice.

"but......"

Because Wuming Guanzi sold for too long, Yu Man had no choice but to ask, "But what?"

Wuming smiled faintly, "Masters and apprentices pay attention to fate, these two children may not be suitable to be my apprentices."

Mainly, it may not be to his liking.

"You have to try it to know if it's suitable." Yu Man patted her thigh, picked up the small arms of Nie Feng and Duan Lang, and enthusiastically recommended to Wuming: "You come and feel the bones, they have very good qualifications." , is material for learning martial arts."

Wuming laughed, waved to Yu Man that enough was enough, nodded and said: "I'll keep them by my side for a while, to see how their temperament is."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Yu Man bowed to Wuming, then patted the heads of Nie Feng and Duanlang who were still in a daze, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Master."

"Thank you, Master." Nie Feng and Duan Lang said in unison.

"From now on, you must listen to the master's words, honor the master, and the little brother over there, you must also listen to the elder brother's words..."

"Mrs. Nie." Wuming picked up the Xueyin Knife from the table, and called Yu Man once, but there was no response, so she had to raise her voice slightly, and called again.

"Ah?" Yu Man looked up in a daze, only to realize that Ma'am was calling someone, she pointed to herself, and corrected the nameless, "My name is Yan."

Wuming was stunned for a moment, then changed his words, "Mrs. Yan, take this knife back."

Knowing that he would not accept it, Yu Man said politely, "I told you, it's a meeting gift for you."

"This is the knife from the Nie family, what am I going to use it for?" Wuming stood up and walked slowly to Yu Man, "Ms. Yan is sending the knife as soon as she makes a move, have you asked the ancestors of the Nie family?"

Seeing Wuming walking in step by step, Yu Man curled her lips, thinking that he didn't come to return the knife, but more like came to do justice for the sky.

"If you put it in my hand, it will be snatched away. When those people snatch the knife, they will also ask the ancestors of the Nie family?" The knife is not valued, it belongs to the attitude of using it and throwing it away.

"If Mister doesn't need it, can you keep it for Feng'er for a few years? When he can dance with a knife, give it to him to use."

Wuming murmured, feeling that what Yu Man said was reasonable, even though Xueyindao was incompatible with his own storage room, he reluctantly agreed.

====================

Wuming, with a chivalrous heart, once proposed to arrange a shelter for Yu Man, even though he, Nie Feng and Duanlang could not become mentors and apprentices, it was just a matter of little effort for him to give Nie and Duan the widows and orphans a little shelter.And he could tell that Yu Man was a woman who could understand clearly.

However, Yu Man declined the kindness, she left the Zhonghua Pavilion alone, and promised Wuming and the two children that she would come back in two months.

Yan Ying's martial arts was learned from Nie Renwang, which is very superficial. Fortunately, she did not forget all the Bingxin Jue and Aohan Six Jue that Nie Renwang taught her.Now Yu Man doesn't need to bring a baby, and with his free hands, he can practice martial arts while going about his life.

Two months later, Yu Man bought a large box of candies and went to Zhonghua Pavilion to see Nie Feng and Duanlang.The two children snuggled up beside Yu Man's lap, extremely happy.

"Mother, where have you been? Feng'er misses you so much."

Yu Man opened the carton and distributed the fruit to them, "Mom, go make some money."

"Make money?" Nie Feng and Duanlang looked at each other, and the images of Yu Man digging herbs in the field and washing clothes by the river were played back in their minds.

"What about you, focus on practicing kung fu with master here, mother, concentrate on making money outside." Yu Man poked a small face with one hand, her expression was beaming, "When you grow up to be martial arts masters, mother earns enough money to become If we leave the rich woman, then we will never have to separate again."

As soon as they heard that they would never be separated again, Nie Feng and Duanlang felt yearning in their hearts.

"How long will that take?" Duan Lang asked.

"It won't be long on my side." Yu Man tilted her head to look at him with confidence, "It depends on you..."

In the middle of speaking, Yu Man's eyes flickered suddenly, she raised Duanlang's chin, and took a closer look at the side of Duanlang's face away from her.

"Are you injured from practicing?"

Duanlang's forehead and eyebrows have faded bruises, and if you look closely, there are also bruises under his chin.

"No, he got into a fight with Brother Huo." Nie Feng whispered.

"Who is Brother Huo?" Yu Man was curious.

Isn't Wuming the only apprentice of Jianchen, why is there another brother Huo?

Duanlang was exposed, and glared at Nie Feng, very dissatisfied, "What brother Huo, he came later than us."

"He's older than us, what's wrong with calling him senior brother?" He didn't formally ask for a teacher.

Yu Man coughed lightly, and talked for a long time, but still didn't say who Senior Brother Huo was.

At this time, Jian Chen, who looked like a teenager, walked over, Nie Feng and Duan Lang hurriedly stood up and saluted, calling them senior brothers.

"Madam Yan, Master is here to invite you."

Yu Man thought to herself, out of ten, she wanted to tell her about the fate of the two children.

"Duanlang, you also go together." Jian Chen said again.

Yu Man was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Nie Feng, her mood suddenly became complicated.

Wuming was in the study room. This time, Yu Man didn't wear a scarf to cover her face. After she knocked on the door and entered, she obviously felt Wuming's gaze lingering briefly between her eyes, as if she wanted to confirm whether it was the same person before she spoke.

After a brief, almost one-sided exchange of pleasantries with Yu Man, Wu Ming told her that he would not accept Duan Lang as a disciple.

"Thank you sir for your teaching, Duanlang will miss you." Duanlang said seriously.

A wry smile froze on his face, and Yu Man choked.Now it's all right, Duanlang's words are completely blocked, and she doesn't have to try to talk back, she is so relaxed that she doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.

....................

The second trip to the Zhonghua Pavilion, I went in with a box of snacks and brought out a Duanlang. Yu Man thought that Duanlang didn't care, and was still full of disappointment, until night...turned off the lights.

Yu Man rented a room on the edge of the city, it was a very small room, and the kitchen was in the open air, even so, Duanlang excitedly touched and looked around.

At night, after turning off the lights and lying down, Duanlang boldly stretched out his hands to touch Yu Man's face and ears, Yu Man smiled lightly and patted him.

"Huo Jingjue that kid came later than me and left earlier than me, so he is the least popular."

Duan Lang grabbed a strand of Yu Man's hair, put it on his eyelid, and said to himself: "I don't like it there..."

"Mr. Anonymous often plays the erhu in the middle of the night, and he plays the erhu all night. I can't sleep well."
