Seventh ten chapters 第七十章 Test 测试 „silver(money)?” Two brothers asking of one voice: „Studies martial arts also to hand over silver(money)?” “银子？”兄弟两人异口同声的问:“学武功还要交银子？” Fourth Old Master Wen one hear, cannot help but complexion big change, the writing brush in hand „” one sound is pounding in the table, gets angry: „Who doesn't take silver(money) to teach you? Looks at your appearances, is it possible is deceiving me?” 文四爷一听,不由得脸色大变,手中的毛笔“啪”地一声拍着桌子上,怒道:“不拿银子谁教你们？看你们的样子,难不成在糊弄我？” Brother Zhang Family said continually do not dare, then made the matter that they came say Misty guard Mountain Village by Zhang Xiaohu, the Fourth Old Master Wen anger slightly eliminated, takes up the teacup on table, drank water, started talking: „It seems like was the gate guard has made a mistake, this matter also no wonder you.” 张家兄弟连说不敢,然后由张小虎把缥缈山庄护卫让他们过来的事情说了,文四爷的怒气才稍稍消去,拿起桌子上的茶杯,喝了口水,才开口说话:“看来是门卫弄错了,此事也怪不得你们。” Zhang Xiaohu said in surprise: „Did four masters, where make a mistake?” 张小虎奇道:“请问四爷,到底是哪里错了呢？” Fourth Old Master Wen looks at the Zhang Xiaohu respectful appearance, the appearance that clear throat, liking to lecture to people said: „Looked that your Yuan Dao comes, I was simple to say with you.” 文四爷看张小虎恭敬的样子,清清嗓子,一副好为人师的样子说:“看你们远道而来,我就简单跟你们说说吧。” „This seeks learning from a master the scholarship to have the dojo generally, must pay tuition, the food and lodging in the dojo, must certainly have the accommodation, Pingyang City is alone on our Lotus Bodyguard Agency, alone has not opened the dojo, our bodyguard office also and has the function of dojo, usually also the recruitment studies the person in martial arts. However, you went to the Misty Mountain Village study martial arts actually to make a mistake, the dojo hiring did not arrest the age, looked at the background and perception of martial arts, generally can receive, the best age of practicing martial art was person five and six -year-old times started best, later practiced martial art to become the great talent was very difficult, the dojo hiring was the Professor ordinary time repertoire, but the Mountain Village hiring was Disciple in Misty Faction, generally also only recruited five and six -year-old children, you sought learning from a master, definitely was does not receive.” “这投师学艺一般都是有武馆的,要交学费,吃住在武馆的,当然还得有食宿费,平阳城就我们莲花镖局独大,就没单独开武馆,我们镖局还兼带有武馆的作用,平日也招收来学武功的人。不过,你们去缥缈山庄学武功却是错了,武馆招人不拘年龄的,看武功的底子和悟性,一般都是能收的,不过习武的最佳年龄是人五、六岁的时候开始最佳,以后习武能成大器就很难了,武馆招人就是教授普通的功夫套路,而山庄招人则是缥缈派中的弟子,一般也都只招收五、六岁的孩童,你们去投师,肯定是不收的。” Here, but the Zhang Family two brothers the complexion great change, this think that was listed in Lotus Bodyguard Agency for a while, wants to join in Misty, it seems like oneself thought extremely simple. 说到这里,张家兄弟两人可是脸色巨变,本以为在莲花镖局暂居一时,还是想投身缥缈的,看来自己想的太过简单。 Zhang Xiaohua anxious asking: „Did that four masters, what meaning the Mountain Village guard ask us to come to here are?” 张小花紧张的问:“那四爷,山庄的护卫叫我们到这里来是什么意思呢？” Fourth Old Master Wen smiles, twists the beard, said: „Lotus Bodyguard Agency practices martial art besides the dojo hiring, naturally mainly makes the business of bodyguard office, this Time, the bodyguard office lacks the manpower, must recruit the guard who some route traveled back and forth and guard shipments of goods, what it is estimated that he said is this meaning.” 文四爷笑着,捻捻胡须,说:“莲花镖局除了武馆方面招人习武外,当然主要还是做镖局的买卖,这段时间,镖局缺人手,要招一些趟子手和走镖的护卫,估计他说的是这个意思吧。” Zhang Xiaohu asked hastily: „Does that need hand over silver(money)?” 张小虎连忙问:“那需要交银子吗？” Fourth Old Master Wen said: „The guard and route traveled back and forth who guards shipments of goods work to the bodyguard office, naturally does not need to hand over silver(money), every month puts to have the wages to provide.” 文四爷说:“走镖的护卫和趟子手是给镖局干活的,当然不必交银子的,每月放而有工钱发放的。” Zhang Xiaohua also asked: „Can that study martial arts?” 张小花又问:“那能学武功吗？” Fourth Old Master Wen said: „Can, guard shipments of goods naturally must have the skill in martial arts to defend self is good, how study can't martial arts be good?” 文四爷说:“能,走镖当然要有武艺防身才行,不学武功怎么能行？” Zhang Xiaohua and in the Zhang Xiaohu eye the released ray, this can practice martial art immediately, can take the silver(money) assignment, was really good. 张小花和张小虎的眼中立刻放出光芒,这又能习武,又能拿银子的差事,实在是太好了。 However, the Fourth Old Master Wen following words made two people fall into the abyss immediately: „But, this move of route traveled back and forth and guard must have the background of practicing martial art, your cultivation martial arts?” 不过,文四爷下面的话就让两人立时跌入了深渊:“不过,这招的趟子手和护卫也都是要有习武的底子,你们修炼过武功吗？” Zhang Xiaohu curls the lip, said in a low voice: „Has not practiced.” 张小虎撇撇嘴,低声说:“没练过。” Fourth Old Master Wen the face sank immediately, said: „Does this Misty Mountain Village guard handle the muddled matter? Had not asked carefully sends here to do, makes you go home directly and that's the end.” 文四爷立刻脸就沉了下来,说:“这缥缈山庄的护卫怎么也办糊涂事？没仔细问过就打发到这里干嘛,直接让你们回家就是了。” Then, his sudden eyes one bright, asked: „Where do you come?” 接着,他突然眼睛一亮,问道:“你们从哪里来的？” Zhang Xiaohu said: „Lu Town.” 张小虎说:“鲁镇。” The Fourth Old Master Wen mouth mumbled: „Lu Town, Lu Town, whose has not listened to that Disciple family/home in Lu Town.” 文四爷嘴里嘟囔:“鲁镇,鲁镇,没听谁那位弟子的家在鲁镇呀。” Then also asked: „Lu Town to this is very remote, how do you know Misty Faction?” 然后又问:“鲁镇离此很是遥远,你们怎么知道缥缈派的？” Zhang Xiaohu also only said that knew Wen Wenhai and Lu Yueming, other had not related in detail. 张小虎也只说认识温文海、卢月明,其它并没细说。 The brow of Fourth Old Master Wen was then loose, understood the meaning of guard at heart. 文四爷的眉头这才松了开来,心里明白护卫的意思。 He immediately a little benignly said: „Such being the case, you should go to route traveled back and forth there to have a look, foundation that has not practiced martial art, the guard definitely does not receive, if route traveled back and forth were still short of manpower, is some hopes, walks, about Old man is all right, leading you to go to Li Laoliu there to walk.” 他立刻有点和颜悦色的说:“既然如此,那你们应该去趟子手那里看看,没有习武的基础,护卫肯定是不收的,若趟子手尚缺人,还是有些希望的,走,老朽左右没事,带你去李老六那里走一趟。” Then, got up to walk with two people, made that Brother Zhang Family felt extremely flattered. 说完,起身带两人走了出来,弄得张家兄弟受宠若惊。 Fourth Old Master Wen leads Brother Zhang Family to arrive at the Fourth room in next door, making two people wait a bit outside the room, oneself push the door to enter, in the room has a thin man, about 30 years old, are holding in the mouth tobacco smoked dry to pull out is enthusiastic, looks at Fourth Old Master Wen to come, cannot help but said with a smile: „How does Fourth Old Master Wen have Time to come here?” 文四爷带着张家兄弟来到隔壁的第四间屋子,让两人在屋外稍等,自己则推门而入,屋里有个精瘦的汉子,大约30来岁,正在叼着一个旱烟抽得来劲,看文四爷进来,不由得笑道:“文四爷怎么有时间来我这里？” Fourth Old Master Wen looks at the houseful the smog, before arriving at the window, opens the window, said with a hand leaves of present smog: „Li Laoliu, little pulls out two to be able the deceased person, the houseful is the smoke, who loves come.” 文四爷看着满屋的烟雾,走到窗户前,推开窗户,用手扇扇眼前的烟雾说:“李老六,少抽两口能死人啊,满屋都是烟,谁爱来似地。” Then, asked: „For these days incurred the manpower whether to be smooth? Called.” 然后,又问:“这几天招人手可否顺利？都招齐了吧。” Li Laoliu is taking the tobacco smoked dry, knocked to say on the stool the smoke pot: „Also incurs was similar, in the bodyguard difference 1-2, route traveled back and forth somewhat is troublesome, are almost many, after all gives money less/small, but must work oneself to death, slightly a little foundation loves the dry bodyguard, almost can also be the guard to carriages and horses line and other places again, always compared with that works oneself to death in the bodyguard office.” 李老六拿着旱烟,将烟锅在凳子上磕了磕说:“也招的差不离了,保镖还差上一两个,趟子手有些麻烦,差点不少,毕竟给钱少,还得卖命,稍微有点基础的都爱干保镖,再差点也能给车马行等处做护卫,总比在镖局卖命的强。” Fourth Old Master Wen hehe smiles, said: „That just right.” 文四爷嘿嘿一笑,说:“那正好。” Afterward turning head made Brother Zhang Family enter the room, said to Zhang Xiaohu: „This is the Li six masters who is responsible for recruiting route traveled back and forth. Knows.” 随后回头让张家兄弟进了屋,对张小虎说:“这是负责招收趟子手的李六爷。认识一下吧。” Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua hurry to go forward to salute upon meeting. 张小虎和张小花赶紧上前见礼。 Li Laoliu has a look at Zhang Xiaohu, then strange is looking at Fourth Old Master Wen, said: „What you sang was which play? You make him come, when route traveled back and forth?” 李老六看看张小虎,然后奇怪的望着文四爷,说:“你唱的是哪出戏？你让他来当趟子手？” Fourth Old Master Wen selects nods, Li Laoliu has a look at Zhang Xiaohu up and down, asked: „Looks at your appearance, has probably not practiced martial arts, right?” 文四爷点点头,李老六上下看看张小虎,问:“看你的样子,好像没有练过武功啊,是吗？” Zhang Xiaohu respectful reply: „Yes, I have not practiced.” 张小虎恭敬的回答:“是的,我没练过。” Li Laoliu wonders to look at Fourth Old Master Wen, said: „Has not practiced, does, do you make me receive? Route traveled back and forth also has the danger, matter that this works oneself to death, haven't you talked clearly with him?” 李老六纳闷地看着文四爷,说:“没练过,来干嘛,你让我怎么收？趟子手也是有危险的,这卖命的事情,你都没跟他说清楚？” Fourth Old Master Wen smilingly said: „This route traveled back and forth can't compared with bodyguard, martial arts not be necessary, this I am clear, he wants to study martial arts, and...” 文四爷笑眯眯的说:“这趟子手不比保镖,会不会武功也不是必要的,这我还是清楚的,他不过是想学武功罢了,而且…” Then, Fourth Old Master Wen whispered in the Li Laoliu ear several words, what Li Laoliu hear is and again nods, but, finally said: „Although route traveled back and forth had not said that must have martial arts, but if the body is not good, Innate Skill that has not practiced certainly martial arts, I may unable to want, otherwise later has problems, I do not have the method to that several confession.” 然后,文四爷在李老六耳边嘀咕了几句话,李老六听的是连连点头,不过,最后还是说:“虽然趟子手没说必须有武功,可要是身体不行,没有一定练武的天赋,我可还是不能要的,否则以后出什么问题,我也没法子向那几位交代。” Fourth Old Master Wen said: „Is the crops man family background, the body should not have the issue, you lead him to practice the martial stage to test, can good best, is not good, explained with him, cannot, because must practice martial arts, does not want the life.” 文四爷笑着说:“都是庄稼汉子出身,身体应该是没问题的,你带他去练武场测试一番,能行最好,不行,就跟他说明,总不能因为要练武,就不要性命吧。” Turned head to say to Zhang Xiaohu: „You said that is?” 回头对张小虎说:“你说是不是？” Zhang Xiaohu mash up garlic again and again nods. 张小虎捣蒜似地连连点头。 Li Laoliu does not have the means that said to Zhang Xiaohu: „Good, you come with me.” 李老六没办法,对张小虎说:“那好吧,你跟我过来。” Then, bringing Zhang Xiaohu to go to the square outside room, this time practicing martial stage some people have been practicing martial arts, some people were practicing Fists & Kicks, some people took the weapon to hit, some people were taking the stone-lock dumbbell, was enduring the strength. Li Laoliu brings Zhang Xiaohu to arrive by the stone-lock dumbbell, lifts the several people of stone-lock dumbbell to put down the stone-lock dumbbell, saluted to Li Laoliu and the others, stands side, Li Laoliu is pointing at a stone-lock dumbbell to say to Zhang Xiaohu: „This is 100 jin (0.5 kg) stone-lock dumbbell, can you lift?” 说完,带着张小虎来到了屋外的广场上,这时的练武场已经有些人在练武了,一些人在练拳脚,一些人拿了兵器打来打去,还有一些人拿着石锁,打熬着力气。李老六带着张小虎走到石锁旁边,举石锁的几个人把石锁放下,给李老六等人施礼,站着旁边,李老六指着一个石锁对张小虎说:“这是个100斤的石锁,你能举起来吗？” Zhang Xiaohu shakes the head, said: „I do not know, I had not lifted before.” 张小虎摇摇头,说:“我不知道,我以前没有举过。” Li Laoliu said: „You try.” 李老六说:“那你试试吧。” Zhang Xiaohu selects nods, walks up, holds the stone-lock dumbbell with the hand, made an effort to raise raising, then deeply inspired, studies the person to lift the appearance of stone-lock dumbbell a moment ago, on single-handed has lifted the top of the head the stone-lock dumbbell all of a sudden, afterward has put, turned head to look at Li Laoliu, Li Laoliu nods said: „Also good, that is 150 jin (0.5 kg), you try again.” 张小虎点点头,走上前去,用手抓住石锁,使劲提了提,然后深吸一口气,学着刚才人举石锁的样子,一下子就单手把石锁举过了头顶,随后放了下来,回头看着李老六,李老六点头说:“还行,那个是150斤的,你再试试。” Zhang Xiaohu looked at side that slightly big stone-lock dumbbell, has lifted as before, but, that forehead saw the perspiration, Li Laoliu somewhat seems to be satisfied, person who side watches the fun, did not have a moment ago has despised, after all Zhang Xiaohu this age, looks at the body is not very strong appearance, held up 150 jin (0.5 kg) without training, was good, Li Laoliu has not given up, pointed at another saying: „This is 200 jin (0.5 kg), you try again.” 张小虎看了旁边那个稍大的石锁,依旧是举了起来,不过,那额头已经见汗,李老六似乎有些满意,旁边看热闹的人,也没有刚才的轻蔑了,毕竟张小虎这个年纪,看着身体也不是很强壮的样子,在没有训练的情况下举起150斤,也算是不错的,李老六并没有罢休,又指着另外一个说:“这是200斤的,你再试试。” At this time nearby person had also gawked, these 200 jin (0.5 kg) stone-lock dumbbells in practicing the martial stage are not heaviest, but, this group of people are also not everybody just came the time can hold up, only then several looked like the muscle male can just start to beam with joy obviously, other after the practice and hardship strength, can hold up these 200 jin (0.5 kg) stone-lock dumbbells, this Li Laoliu Present by the Zhang Xiaohu trial lift, was not creates obstacles on intentionally is to have a look at the Zhang Xiaohu potential. 这时旁边的人也楞了,这200斤的石锁在练武场也不是最重的,不过,这帮人也并不是人人刚来的时候都能举起的,只有几个看起来明显地肌肉男才能在刚开始就露脸的,其余都是在练习和打熬力气后,才能举起这200斤的石锁,这李老六现在让张小虎试举,不是存心刁难就是想看看张小虎的潜力。 Zhang Xiaohu at this time the reversed image was the calf of initial rise, naturally did not fear, went forward to think over first thinking over, felt is very heavy, but, thinks later practicing martial art, before deeply inspired, the single arm ample capacity held up upwardly, what a pity when soon has lifted the top of the head, arm one soft, the stone-lock dumbbell fell on the ground, the Zhang Xiaohu complexion was somewhat white, but this surrounding person actually one sound applauded, several people applaud, Li Laoliu also nods, the smile said: „Good, is very good.” 张小虎这时倒像是初升的牛犊,自然是不怕,上前先掂量了掂量,感觉很重,不过,想想以后的习武,还是如前般深吸口气,单臂运力向上举起,可惜快要举过头顶时,胳膊一软,石锁就掉在地上,张小虎脸色有些白了,可是这周围的人却一声叫好,几个人都鼓起掌来,李老六也点头,微笑说:“不错,很好。” At this time, Zhang Xiaohu knows, oneself should go through a strategic pass in this strength. 这时,张小虎才知道,自己在这力气方面应该是过关了。 Then, Li Laoliu asked Zhang Xiaohu: „Hasn't your martial arts practiced?” 然后,李老六问张小虎:“你一点武功都没有练过吧？” The Zhang Xiaohu nods name is. 张小虎点头称是。 At this time, the people who side practiced martial arts were attracted by here applause, Li Laoliu pointed at the grade of just coming to tell the Zhang Xiaohu similar young person: „Little ape, comes, calls the set us six and fist.” 这时,旁边练武的人都被这边的掌声吸引了过来,李老六指着刚过来的一个年级跟张小虎差不多的年轻人说:“小猴子,过来,给我们打套六和拳。” Then, turned the head to say to Zhang Xiaohu: „You look well, when he fires off, you also give me to duplicate.” 然后,转头对张小虎说:“你好好看着,等他打完,你也给我重复一遍。” That six and fist is one set of simple crossing the threshold Fist Art, in the subordinate of little monkey, dramatically, it seems like little has not worked hard, Zhang Xiaohu that also hits unexpectedly with total concentration looks at his every gesture and motions, waits for the little monkey to fire off stops work for the day, side has not been short of the applause. 那六和拳是一套简单的入门拳法,在小猴子的手下,竟也打的有声有色,看来是没少下功夫的,张小虎则是聚精会神的看着他的一招一式,等小猴子打完收工,旁边也没少了掌声。 Li Laoliu looked at Zhang Xiaohu, Zhang Xiaohu closes one's eyes, seemed recalling, has waited for the moment, slowly from the First move, has hit slowly, although hit did not have the imposing manner, actually also followed a prescribed pattern, the ghost had the methodicalness, moreover more hit, Li Laoliu was the heart startled, the people were also dumbfounded until hitting one set of Fist Art ten 67, this stopped, scratched the head, Zhang Xiaohu said embarrassed: „Remaining I forgot.” 李老六看了看张小虎,张小虎闭着眼睛,似乎在回忆,等过了片刻,才缓缓的从第一招,慢慢的打了起来,虽然打的没有气势,却也一板一眼,煞有章法,而且越打,李老六越是心惊,众人也都是目瞪口呆直到打了一套拳法的十之67,这才停下来,挠挠头,张小虎不好意思的说:“剩下的我都忘记了。” Li Laoliu said fierce: „To be honest, hadn't you practiced martial art before really? Hasn't practiced this set of Fist Art?” 李老六厉声说:“老实说,你以前真没习过武？没有练过这套拳法？”
