Chapter 13: Qinghe County, Wu Er Drunk and Murdered

People who practice martial arts should keep some evil spirit in their hearts.

Someone once said: This three-point evil spirit is not only about being vicious and cruel when taking action, but more about being tough and firm in mind, which will not be shaken by circumstances, so-called interests and positions no matter where one is.

Bad air is important, but three points are more important.

One more point will lead to evil, one less point will lead to submission.

The three Ruan brothers were too evil and too murderous, and too strong, so they were easily broken.

Arrogant to princes and disrespectful to ministers.

In a rage, blood splattered five steps. While talking and laughing, he hurried a thousand miles, on a dark night with a strong wind, he drank and brandished a knife, cut off a person's head, wrapped it up and walked away, leaving no trace.

Although it is satisfying to take revenge, one can only live freely by oneself and cannot become a master.

Throughout the ages, a true grandmaster must be humble, be able to break down the barriers between sects, have the ambition to spread martial arts, and in addition to fighting and killing, must also understand the ways of the world.

Historically, when Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was the general, he gathered many masters under his command, and the classic Taizu Changquan was born; during the time of Yue Fei, he gathered masters from all over the world and the Yue style Sanda was born; when Qi Jiguang was training troops in the Ming Dynasty, he gathered Wen family boxing, Bazi boxing, short fighting, tanma hand, etc., and then the Qi Jiguang Boxing Classic was born; during the Republic of China, martial arts halls were opened everywhere for exchanges, with the revitalization of China as their mission, and then the martial arts flourished.

Cao Jie wants to be such a master.

On the official road to Qinghe County, Cao Jie was really humbly asking Jiao Ting for advice and learning sumo wrestling techniques.

Of course, it is normal to give a sweet reward after a beating.

Some people are like lazy donkeys working on a millstone, producing a lot of shit and urine, and their mouths stink. They won't work unless you whip them.

Sumo is a martial art that has been passed down for thousands of years.

It originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was renamed "角迪" during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Later it was changed back to "总扑", and was also called "跤力". It was introduced to Japan during the Tang Dynasty.

Legend has it that Yue Fei was a wrestling master. His capable general Niu Gao also wanted to learn the art of wrestling, but due to his dull talent, it was difficult for him to learn it at the moment. Yue Fei had no choice but to teach him some grappling, locking, and breaking bone techniques.

Jiao Ting is still quite capable. In terms of his professionalism in martial arts, he is far superior to Cao Zhengchuan's Twenty-Two Postures of Taizu Changquan.

Even the three Ruan brothers had to admit that under the wrestling rules, they were no match.

Take the wrestling technique of "using a little force to move a great weight" for example. The key is to use the pores to feel the enemy's body and find out the enemy's center of gravity at the moment of contacting hands. Then, with a slight pull, you can change the enemy's strength, break the enemy's center of gravity, and make the enemy fall himself.

Cao Jie did not mind learning other techniques such as "grappling, locking, and breaking bones" and he learned them all.

And every day when he had free time, he would fight with Jiao Ting to improve his martial arts attainments.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the county seat of Qinghe County.

Thanks to the oppression of small farmers by the big landlords, landless peasants could no longer survive in the countryside and had to go to the city to find work.

The county seat of Qinghe County was relatively small, and Cao Jie easily got the information about Wu Da and Wu Er.

"You mean Wu Da? But the three-inch-tall Wu Da?"

The old man who got a handful of dried dates pointed to the distance and said, "He has to pass that street every day to sell pancakes. You just go and watch. The half body is him."

"Thank you sir."

Soon, Ruan Xiaoqi came over and said, "Erlang, I've found out. Wu Er is a brave man. He is eight feet tall, handsome, and has a thousand pounds of strength. He has never lost a fight."

"Don't you think it's strange? His elder brother Wu Da is less than five feet tall, with a hideous face and a ridiculous mind. People in Qinghe County gave him a nickname because he was short, called "Three-inch Ding Gu Shupi"..."

"Seventh brother, how can you make fun of others based on their appearance? The ancients said that one should not judge a person by his appearance. Wu Dalang raised Wu Song by selling pancakes. It was so difficult."

Cao Jie said sternly: "If we want to make friends with Wu Song, we must first respect him as our brother and not make fun of him."

Ruan Xiaoqi immediately put away his nonchalant look and nodded, "Erlang, you are right, it should be so. If someone says something bad about our brother, we will not forgive him."

Cao Jie looked in the direction where Ruan Xiaoqi came from and asked, "Where are my second brother and the others?"

"The three of them went to look for Wu Jilang."

"Oh!"

The two men were squatting and selling dried dates at the same time.

Ruan Xiaoqi had sharp eyes and saw from afar Wu Dalang carrying a huge load and selling pancakes along the street.

Chuibing is not a cake, but a steamed bun; the steamed buns in the Song Dynasty were not steamed buns, but dumplings.

That’s why there is a saying that “the fat ones are used as steamed bun fillings”.

Just as Wu Dalang was approaching, a man who looked like a bartender came running over with sweat all over his forehead. When he saw Wu Dalang, he shouted:

"Wu Da, your Erlang got drunk and beat someone up again. This time he killed an official."

Wu Dalang was so frightened that he dropped his carrying pole and said in a trembling voice, "Don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying to you, that person died of a secret, and he happened right in front of my shop." In Water Margin, secret was an official position, which was mainly responsible for organizing and keeping the county's archives.

Although he is just a small official, he is still an official!

Wu Dalang wailed, "Every time he gets drunk, he starts a fight and puts me in court. This time he killed an official. What will my brother do?"

After saying that, he ran towards the bartender with his short legs.

"Go, follow."

It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. There is no coincidence in the world, and here we come.

Today is the day to tame Wu Song.

"Where's my brother? Where's my brother!"

Wu Dalang looked around the crowd for a while and didn't see Wu Song, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

If you beat an official to death, you will lose your head.

He ran away, luckily he ran away.

Good run!

'Fuck, Wu Song ran away?'

Cao Jie was speechless, but since he was already here, he might as well save the man first!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm a doctor, I think the man can still be saved..."

"There's no way he can be saved. He has no breathing or pulse."

A middle-aged doctor in a long gown with a goatee shook his head, said something, and squeezed into the crowd without looking back.

He doesn't want to get too involved in a murder case!

Cao Jie immediately squatted down and felt his pulse, and his heart stopped beating.

This is what Wu Song said to Song Jiang afterwards, "Just one punch made that guy faint." What does this mean faint?

This guy has one foot halfway into the gate of hell!
Give him a pill of nitroglycerin immediately.

After waiting for a while, Cao Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

It was really just cardiac arrest, he didn't die.

The official opened his eyes tremblingly and mumbled something inaudible.

"Live, live!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, "The young doctor's medical skills are truly amazing. Doctor Liu said the patient could not be saved, but he saved him."

"Where is the young doctor from? Where does he open his medicine shop?"

Cao Jie bowed to all four directions and said, "I am from Yuncheng, Jizhou. My surname is Cao and my name is Jie..."

Showing off your power in front of others is a good opportunity to become famous.

"It's good to be alive! It's good to be alive!"

Wu Dalang was as happy as a child. As long as no one was dead, it was just a fight. If the official wanted to take revenge, he would not lose his head.

"Thank you, Doctor Cao, thank you. You not only saved this official's life, but also saved my brother's life!"

Cao Jie managed his expression well: "It is only because you met me that you were able to resolve this disaster. And you, my husband, have a bad heart and you still fight with others. This is like an old man eating arsenic and getting tired of living. In the future, remember to stop being angry, drink less, and cultivate your body and mind, so that you can live a long life."

The official nodded slightly, revealing a faint smile that was uglier than crying: "Thank you very much, benefactor... I understand... Then... That medicine... Do you still have it, young master?"

Cao Jie immediately showed an embarrassment: "That pill was not easy to come by. My master spent several years to refine a furnace. I only got two pills. Today, seeing that you were critically ill, I made up my mind to take out one to save your life. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Since you are already alive, why are you still thinking about my medicine?"

"This... I don't want the young master's medicine for nothing... thirty taels... no, I'll give fifty taels..."

Cao Jie pondered for a moment and sighed, "Well, let's save him to the end. If you have angina again, you can put this medicine under your tongue and dissolve it."

Who can resist money?

We need to earn this reputation, money, and experience points.
