golden escape

Although Chen Zongyi was not around to strictly supervise, Fang You still practiced the entire 74-style Taijiquan meticulously. For a month, he practiced Taijiquan almost every day to rest his body and mind. If so, I always feel like something is missing.

After practicing Taijiquan, it was already past six o'clock in the morning. When I walked into the room, Fang's mother had already prepared breakfast. Seeing him coming in, Fang's mother smiled, "Xiaoyou, just now I was playing in the yard while you were playing." Is it Taijiquan, why do some places are the same as your Aunt Li next door, and some places are different, and your Aunt Li tossing and turning is just those few movements, you have many more movements than hers."

"Hehe, Mom, we don't practice the same school of Tai Chi, but all Tai Chi is the same goal by different routes. It is not surprising that there are differences in some places. Mom, I will go to Chu's house after dinner. If I don't come back at noon Definitely." Fang You shook his head with a smile, and explained it to Fang's mother.

Chen Zongyi told him that Taijiquan for fitness is based on Yang-style Taijiquan. Complicated and repetitive movements are deleted, 24 forms are selected, and a simplified version of Taijiquan is compiled. The widespread spread of Tai Chi in China has played an important role. Now those old men and women in the park basically practice this simplified version of Tai Chi, which is only for fitness, not for actual combat.

"Well, go, Mr. Chu has helped you so much, don't be empty-handed, bring something with him." Hearing Fang You's words, Fang's mother smiled gratifiedly, and then instructed.

Fang You nodded, a little helpless, when he went to Chu's old house by himself, he didn't pick up anything.

After eating, Fang You got under the bed, activated the escape technique, and took out a jar of Huadiao wine from the ground under the bed. After thinking for a while, he took out Xu Xiake's travel notes from Fatty Liu, and Chen Zongyi's travel notes. The purple sand teapot I gave, I and my mother don't usually drink tea, so it's more suitable for Mr. Chu who enjoys the shade under the tree every day and drinks a few cups.

In addition to this one, there seems to be another Ming Jiajing plate that was scoured by the tomb robbers in the ghost market, but compared with the porcelain in the funeral room inside, it is indeed a bit inferior. Fang You shook his head and put it I took it out from the backpack and carefully put it in the cabinet. No matter how inferior it is, it can be worth more than a hundred thousand. Although I don't care about money now, mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are, so I can't just throw the money I got outside.

Putting the jar of Huadiao wine into a big nylon bag, Fang You put his backpack on his back, walked out the door with Huadiao wine in one hand, hailed a taxi, and went straight to the community where Elder Chu lived.

Hearing the neighborhood where Fang You was going, the driver's eyes widened, and then he looked at Fang You's whole body and the things in his hands in a strange way. The people who went to this neighborhood were basically asking for help, and all the things they took were boxes. If you don't bring any gifts and just give the money directly, this kid looks like a student at all.

Could it be that the nylon bag in this boy’s hand was full of money? The driver looked at it and shook his head. Judging from the expanded shape of the bag, it looked like a wine jar. No longer paying attention to Fang You, he stepped on the gas pedal and headed towards the neighborhood.

The taxi drove to the entrance of the community, but was stopped by the guard. Even if Fang You had a pass, he would not let this strange vehicle enter. Go to the courtyard where Elder Chu lives.

Fortunately, Fang You had been exercising every day during Chen Zongyi's more than a month, otherwise, if this jar of Huadiao wine was to be brought to Chu's hometown, he would have to be exhausted. Put the bag into the soil, and then walk forward while holding the mouth of the bag with one hand, presumably the land has become nothingness, so it should be easy to pull.

It's a pity that imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. In the end, Fang You still carried Huadiao wine and came to the door of Chu's old house. After taking a few breaths, seeing that the door of Chu's old house was still open, Fang You Can't help but smile.

I really don’t know what the identity of Mr. Chu is. Every time he comes here, he never closes the door. Maybe it’s because the security here is too good, but the other villa-like residences passing by are all tightly closed by a big iron gate. It is closed, but Mr. Chu looks like the door of my house is always open, waiting for you with open arms.

After thinking wildly for a while, Fang You walked in the door with Hua Diao wine, and he saw the familiar figure of Mr. Chu sitting on the grand teacher's chair under the big tree, taking advantage of the cold.

Fang You missed Mr. Chu very much after not seeing him for a month. With a happy smile on his face, he strode into the courtyard and shouted at Mr. Chu, "Mr. Chu, I'm back."

"Ha, who would dare to yell in my yard? It turned out to be Xiaoyou, hehe, what else do I have to bring here, but since I have it, I will not be polite to accept it." Mr. Chu Smiling, he took the nylon bag from Fang You's hand, looked inside, and smiled, it really was Hua Diao wine.

Fang You smiled wryly, "Old Chu, you are really rude."

"Hehe, you are being polite to Xiaoyou, why don't you treat you as an outsider? Haha, I'm not kidding anymore, Xiaoyou, I'm going to Tianhai for a trip. I heard that you have a lot of achievements. Going out to practice once is very rewarding Let's go." Elder Chu smiled, put the Huadiao wine beside him, then poured Fang You a cup of tea, and asked with a smile.

Fang You hurriedly took the teapot from Elder Chu, poured himself a cup, then put down the backpack, first took out the travel notes of Xu Xiake on the top, and handed it to Elder Chu.

Mr. Chu took the books carefully, put them on the table, took the teapot and tea cups to the side, and flipped through them lightly. He had read Xu Xiake’s travel notes in the early years, but they were all modern printed books. Looking at this simple paper , and handwriting, he seems to have a different feeling.

"Xu Xiake is really a strange person through the ages. He is not afraid of natural dangers, not afraid of tigers and wolves, dares to fight against any difficulties, and never gives up. This kind of spirit is worth learning for us modern people." There was nothing on the cliff, and with only a cloth belt on his body, he rushed out of the cliff. Elder Chu couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Fang You nodded sympathetically. Xu Xiake traveled half of China on foot. This is a legend that no one can replicate. He can't do it at all. This is no longer a question of ability, but a question of daring and daring.

Fang You asked himself, when he saw the cliff, he would never be able to remain unmoved, he probably wouldn't even poke his head out to take a look, let alone falling from the cliff with a cloth belt.

"Old Chu, the other three things I got from Fatty Liu are in Wang Hao's place. If you want to see them, I'll ask him to send them to you." There was a moment of silence amidst Elder Chu's exclamation, and Fang You smiled. Said.

Mr. Chu waved his hand and smiled, "Don't take it, I've seen those things a long time ago, although I don't know Fatty Liu, but this time he's probably going to cry, hehe, Xiaoyou, you did a good job , For these profiteers, we must be merciless."

Thinking of Fatty Liu's heartbroken appearance, Fang You couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing, then took out the purple clay pot Chen Zongyi gave him from his backpack.

"Old Chu, this is the purple clay teapot given to me by my master. I can't find any other imprints on the Yixing purple clay below." Fang You said to Elder Chu with some anxiety while opening the exquisite packaging outside the purple clay pot, he was really worried that Elder Chu would look down on this thing.

Hearing Fang You's words, Elder Chu asked in surprise, "Master?"

"Hey, Mr. Chu, although Mr. Chen didn't formally accept me as an apprentice, in my eyes, he is already my master, and you are the same. According to Mr. Chen, you know him." Fang You was a little embarrassed He laughed a few times, and then asked curiously, he didn't understand how Mr. Chu, a big unknown collector, would know Mr. Chen, who practiced Tai Chi. These two professions are completely irrelevant. things.

Before Fang You finished speaking, Elder Chu's face was full of smiles, with a look of reminiscence on his face, "It turned out to be the old man named Chen. I said a month ago why did he call me to ask about you?" , It turns out that Xiaoyou learned your Taijiquan for him, it is really a fate to meet you from thousands of miles away, you and I have met together, are you and him, are you in..."

"Hey, Xiaoyou, this purple sand pot looks familiar to you, haha, so that's it, Xiaoyou, this old Chen loves you very much, and even gave you this treasure. Back then, I was following him I've been asking for it for a few months, but I still haven't got it." As he was talking, suddenly Elder Chu's eyes were completely on Fang You's unpacked purple clay pot, and he couldn't help but take the purple clay pot from the table , while playing with it fondly, laughing loudly.

Mr. Chu's sudden laughter made Fang You a little confused. He pointed to the purple sand pot in Mr. Chu's hand, and asked in disbelief, "Mr. Chu, could it be that this pot is still a treasure? It has no traces of any dynasty at all, it is simply a modern handicraft, and apart from Yixing Zisha, there is no deposit from the producer."

"Xiaoyou, let me teach you another truth. It's not that things that are older are more valuable. It's like a stone knife from the Stone Age. Compared with the Jun kiln in the Song Dynasty, which one is more valuable? Decades, but its value is much higher than the travel notes of Xu Xiake in front of you. There is no deposit from the producer. It doesn't have to be on the bottom, it's also fine on the top, here, take a good look at this purple clay pot again, I'll see if you can find that model." Seeing the doubt on Fang You's face, Mr. Chu smiled and taught Fang You After gaining some knowledge, he handed the purple clay pot to him.

The inscription is not necessarily at the bottom. Fang You did not know before that the porcelain he is familiar with is generally engraved on the bottom cover, so as time goes by, the name of the bottom is called out, but he has never seen a famous one. Elsewhere in porcelain.

Holding the purple sand pot, Fang You looked it over carefully, not even letting go of the inside of the pot, but he still didn't see where the money in Old Chu's mouth was. He picked up the pot lid on the table helplessly, and prepared to put Put the lid on, and then ask Mr. Chu.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw words appearing on the inner wall of the pot lid, and immediately he picked up the pot lid and looked carefully, and vaguely recognized the writing on it, it was heart-warming.
