Jinyi Night Walk

"Of course, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, among the eighteen types of weapons, knives come first. How powerful do you think it is?"

It was strange that Peng Ziqi, who seemed to be an enemy with Xia Xun in the previous life, had a very bad temper with Xiao Di, Xia Xun's close maid. After only two days of getting along, the two were already very close.Early in the morning, Peng Ziqi was squatting in the yard, chatting and laughing with Xiao Di beside him.

"Well, I saw that brother Peng cut off that master's spear with a single knife that day. It was so fast that I couldn't see clearly. Those masters looked very powerful. Why is it so useless?"

"Hehe, the way of martial arts, if you are only tall and strong, you are a master, so why bother to learn from a master? Masters teach apprentices, not everything is taught, what kind of people can be taught, what kind of people can't be taught , What kind of skills can be taught, what kind of skills can't be taught, these are all said. As for recruiting disciples, the first-class disciples are to be accepted as successors, and such disciples have no limit except life-saving skills. At that time, the masters refused to teach them, and other skills must be carefully trained; the second-class apprentices were paid to earn tuition fees, and such apprentices also wanted to teach some real kung fu, but it would be greatly discounted. .

People who practice martial arts are mostly poor people, but those who can practice martial arts to a great degree usually have to be wealthy.Because practicing martial arts consumes money, time, and brains, it is impossible for a person who has not read a book for a day and cannot eat three meals a day to practice high-quality kung fu.Such a person, if you really pass on the best kung fu to him, it will actually harm him. Why don't you teach him some basic kung fu, let him practice well in a down-to-earth manner, and just make a living.

Most of these apprentices only pass on moves and don't pass on their minds, just like the few people you saw the other day, of course it won't help if you meet a real master.You have to know that kung fu is not just kung fu airs, every move and every style has a mental formula, and those who only practice moves and routines without knowing the mental formula, and don't do dismantling and Sanshou training, actually don't know how to use them at all. Their bodies are trained very well, but that kung fu seems to be vigorous, but it can only bluff the layman. "

Xiaodi suddenly said: "So that's it. I heard that many people in Brother Peng's family practiced martial arts. After you practiced martial arts, did you go all over the world and fight for righteousness as others said?"

Peng Ziqi smiled and said, "Don't take it seriously. Those brothers in my family have all learned martial arts, but it's good if they don't fight bravely and make trouble in the streets. You still expect them to be chivalrous? Hmph ! Let’s just talk about my big cousin, the big cousin has practiced a flying needle stunt, what do you think he uses?”

Xiaodi asked curiously, "How to use it?"

Peng Ziqi curled his lips and said: "One time, he caused trouble outside, and my uncle was furious, and wanted him to come back for family law. At that time, he was not there, and his cousins ​​were all kneeling in the hall, and no one sent him a letter. My lobby My brother’s name is Peng Hanbo. He’s actually not a bad person, and he’s also very kind to me. I happened to be outside at the time, so I wanted to report to him. I found out that my eldest cousin was drinking in the ‘Yixiangyuan’, so I was in a hurry. I hurried over, but as soon as I entered the house, I saw..., hehe! Hehe!"

Xiaodi said with an itchy heart, "What did you see, brother Peng, tell me quickly."

Peng Ziqi blushed and said: "I saw him, he threw a hundred-cent banknote in the air, and then nailed the banknote to the wall or even the beam with a flying needle, and then let the girl in the yard The girls go to pick it up, and whoever finds it, pull out the needle and return it to him, and the money will belong to him. But you are not allowed to step on the stool to move the table, and the girls will help each other, climbing the wall, climbing the wall, stacking the Arhat..."

Xiao Di was surprised and said: "One hundred cents a piece of treasure is so generous. This method is fun and can make money to spend. It makes me want to play."

Peng Ziqi laughed and said: "Go, I heard clearly, you are not allowed to wear clothes on your body, you have to pick them up with bare buttocks."

"Ah!" Xiaodi's face turned red, and she said shyly, "Why is your big cousin like this, it's outrageous."

"Outrageous? There are even more outrageous. But..."

Peng Ziqi glanced at Xiaodi, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I heard that your young master is not very reliable. He has no elders to watch him at home, so he doesn't do what he wants?"

"Just do what you want?" Xiaodi said strangely: "What, why do you do what you want, my young master never does such absurd and outrageous things."

"Really?" Peng Ziqi looked up and down at Xiaodi suspiciously: "Has he... touched you and rubbed off on you?"

Xiaodi blushed and said, "How is it possible, brother Peng, don't talk nonsense, young master... always treat me like my own sister."

Peng Ziqi narrowed his eyes, and said in disbelief: "Really? That lecherous guy put such a cute little girl by your side, but he didn't steal it? I don't believe cats don't steal."

Xiaodi blushed and said: "Really, I didn't lie to you. My young master is not as bad as you said, someone must have told you nonsense, brother Peng just said, can't you take the hearsay as the truth? You How long have you seen my young master be a prodigal son?"

Peng Ziqi was taken aback for a moment, really speechless when asked by Xiaodi.

At this time, Xiaodi had changed the subject, and said happily: "Brother Peng, you will take care of my young master for three months. During this time, can you teach me kung fu?"

Peng Ziqi wondered, "What are you learning Kung Fu for?"

"Protect the young master!"

Xiaodi said confidently: "Besides, you can also protect yourself. My father often told me that our family is from a low family background and we cannot marry a good family. Men will bully you, mother-in-law will bully you, and sister-in-law will bully you. If I learn一身好本事，将来嫁个粗鲁汉，他要敢欺负我，我就狠狠揍他。”

Peng Ziqi smiled and said: "I'm not married yet, so I want to beat myself up first? In this case, I dare not teach you. Don't talk about you, my Peng family is a well-known family in Qingzhou? So what, girl Once you get married, you will be a family member, so you have to be obedient, otherwise you will really get into trouble. If my second aunt hadn't learned martial arts well, how could she be sent home and almost hanged herself."

Xiao Di was surprised: "Ah? What's the matter with your second aunt?"

Peng Ziqi stopped his horse and started to press his legs again, sighing as he pressed his legs: "My second aunt is married to a local gentry family, her mother-in-law is very powerful, she often picks quarrels and troubles, and punishes her in various ways. The second aunt endured it at first, but then she was really angry, and after a few words, her man was about to beat her. The second aunt is a person who has practiced kung fu, so how could she be beaten by him, instead she threw him somersaults.

This hit a hornet's nest. Her husband's seventh aunt, eighth aunt, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law went into battle. They copied all the housework and beat her face to face. The second aunt was annoyed. Needless to say, they all let me The second aunt was beaten to the ground, which was bad, and her man sent her home as soon as he issued a divorce letter.

In the city and in the countryside, no one who heard about this matter spoke for her, no matter how tricky her mother-in-law was, no matter how restrained she was when she did it, in short, if you are a daughter-in-law, dare to talk to your mother-in-law, dare to touch a man's hand, You are 1 wrong.My grandfather regrets that, he only regrets that he shouldn't have taught her kung fu in the first place, or else let her be beaten up by a man, so it wouldn't be like this.

Grandpa brought a big gift to her in-law's house to accompany the crime. It's useless to say good things. Such a daughter-in-law doesn't want anything. My second aunt was so ashamed and indignant that she hanged herself at home. Fortunately, she was discovered early and saved her, but No matter how much she repented, it was useless.Later, she became a monk and became a sister-in-law.In the spring of this year, I went to see her in the nunnery. My second aunt is only 14 years older than me. She used to be a famous beauty, but now she looks like someone who is almost fifty, with wrinkles on her face..."

Both of them fell silent, Xiao Di panicked and thought: "The Peng family is so powerful, even if the girl is married, she has to be bullied by others. Daddy is right. I... Will I be like this in the future? ..."

Just as he was thinking about it, Xia Xun was dressed brightly and came out in groups of five: "Cough! Mr. Peng, shall we go out for a walk again today?"

When Xiaodi saw Xia Xun, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey! You will be my master for the rest of your life, and I will always be your little maid. It's okay if you don't get married!"

Xia Xun was baffled by her, and couldn't help asking: "Xiaodi, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaodi licked his lips, looked affectionately at his "long-term meal ticket", and smiled guiltyly: "It's nothing, good morning, young master."

Xia Xun looked at her suspiciously, and always felt that the movement of her sticking out her little pink tongue and gently licking her tender cherry lips was like a cat holding Xiao Yu'er and preparing to eat...

Miss Peng put on a pretty face and asked coldly: "Where are you going to attract bees and butterflies today?"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xia Xun didn't attract bees or butterflies today, but went to see his own shop.

He went to the "Lin Yang Pawnshop" at the first shop, and met Lin Bei Xia Lin, the shopkeeper whom he had "admired for a long time". After roughly flipping through the accounts and listening to the recent business situation, he left in despair.

When he left "Lin Yang's Pawnshop", Lin Beixia's suspicion in Xia Xun's mind was greatly reduced.Because Lin Beixia's performance is not like a person who has murderous intentions towards him and has already taken action.

Lin Beixia was indeed full of resentment towards him, but if Lin Beixia was the murderer behind the scenes, he would never have expressed his dissatisfaction and resentment so vividly when he saw Xia Xun.Analyzing from the perspective of criminal psychology, no matter whether shopkeeper Lin is a man with a lot of power and good at disguising, or a rough man with no power and a display of joy and anger, as long as he planned the assassination of Yang Wenxuan, he would never do it again. Showing such strong hostility towards Yang Wenxuan.

If he is good at disguising, he will hide his hatred, which will make it easier for him to achieve his goals and avoid exposing himself; Empathy occurs.His attention will be on the assassination he is planning, which will have a soothing effect on his emotions, and the hostility will not be so obvious.Only when he hated a person but did not take any real action towards him, would that person use his words to vent his grievances.Therefore, Geng Yuanwai became Xia Xun's number one object of suspicion.

After leaving Lin Yang's pawn shop, Xia Xun went to several shops, oil workshop, grain and rice workshop, and finally came to Yang's workshop. Embroidery needles, horseshoes, etc. Don’t underestimate these businesses. Ordinary blacksmith shops can only produce some simple tools such as kitchen knives. They can’t make two in a day, and they can only meet the needs of a small group of people. They can't produce such delicate gadgets as needles.

The Yang family workshop is mass-produced, which can not only be supplied to grocery stores all over Shandong, but also exported to North Korea and Ryukyu.Taking a needle as an example, the cost is very small, but the technical content is not small. Without the corresponding hammer forging technology, you just use an iron pestle to grind it.Therefore, if a needle is sold to places like Korea and Ryukyu, at least five cents of silver can be earned. Needles are very light and small and easy to carry. This is a long-term and stable source of wealth, so it can be regarded as an important industry of the Yang family. He is in Qingzhou City, so it is unreasonable not to go once.

When he arrived at Yang's workshop, Xia Xun listened carefully to the report from shopkeeper Wang, and asked casually while looking at the various accounts of purchase, sales, and expenditure. The business under his name, because if he can really realize his plan, these industries will truly belong to him.

After he had a comprehensive understanding of the whole workshop, he went down to each work shed in person, accompanied by shopkeeper Wang, to inspect the production situation.Here, Xia Xun saw the needle making process for the first time.

At this time, the needles used wire drawing and carburizing heat treatment technology. Craftsmen forged fine wrought iron into thin strips, heated them and drew them into wires with perforated iron molds, then cut the thin iron wires, rubbed them smooth, and then threaded them. The eyes become needle-shaped, put them in an iron pan and stir-fry slowly to anneal them, and finally use pine wood, charcoal, and fermented soybeans as carburizing agents and mix them with fine mud, cover and heat the needles for carburizing, and finally harden the needles in water.

This needle is something Xia Xun was used to in his life before, but he never knew how to make these things. He didn't expect that the needle at this time was to pull out a soft and tough steel wire first, and then add it to the needle by frying and carburizing. hard.Witnessing the whole operation process, Xia Xun couldn't help being amazed. Seeing the red-hot wrought iron being drawn into thin, long, flexible and shiny wires, a thought flashed through Xia Xun's mind, and he caught it in time. After thinking for a long time, a smile gradually formed on the corner of his mouth.

Looking at it thoughtfully for a while, Xia Xun asked Master Jiang who was spinning: "Master Jiang, can this wire only be drawn two feet long?"

As soon as Master Jiang saw his master asking questions, he hurriedly put down his belongings, stood up and replied, "My master, this wire can only be stretched two feet, but for needles, each piece of wrought iron is taken out two feet long, cut off, and pierced through the eyes. It doesn't have to be too long."

Xia Xun pinched his chin and said in a deep voice, "Well, can the wire that is nearly ten feet long be pulled out?"

Master Jiang nodded and said, "You can pull out a whole wire that is about ten feet long, but you need to use high-quality steel for needles. You don't need such good steel, and you don't need to pull such a long wire." .”

Xia Xun nodded and said: "Okay, as long as it can be done, Master Jiang, please use the best steel, plus your Jiang family's secret method, to make five steel wires for me. The more flexible the better, the best. It will be finished tomorrow. Shopkeeper Wang, after Master Jiang is finished, you can send them to my house in person, I will use them. This month... give Master Jiang two extra wages."

"Weird, what does this guy want to do again?" Peng Ziqi looked at Xia Xun curiously, and there was a strange light in his eyes, which made people palpitate.
