Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Chapter 3: Learning Martial Arts in the Countryside

June 1950, 6 was a holiday for Red Star Primary School.

Sun Zhengguo and his family are packing up to go back to the countryside together tomorrow weekend. Sun Zhengguo has been looking forward to this day.

The next morning, the family of five prepared to go out. At the door, they met Yan Bugui, the gate god of the courtyard.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Teacher Yan! This kid misses his grandparents and grandfather. He plans to live in the countryside for a while."

"Good morning, Teacher Yan."

"Early, early, early, it's better to go to the countryside." I thought that if my children go to the countryside to live, they can save a lot of food.

He didn't even think about whether the Sun family would care about these little things.

We went out to take the bus, which cost 5 yuan for five people. We got off the bus two miles away from Dongxiang Village and walked into the village. (When the country was first established, the transportation in the capital was pretty good.)

After getting in the car, Sun Zhengguo looked at the scenery outside the window. It had been a month since his rebirth, and he hadn't visited Sijiu City. He had never been to Sijiu City in his previous life, so now was a good time to take a look.

I don’t know if I can go back to my hometown in Shandong Province, but all this will have to wait until after the reform and opening up.

An hour later, a family of five got off the bus and walked towards Dongxiang Village.

"Da Jiang Wen Cui is back."

I met an acquaintance at the village entrance on the way and said hello.

"Bring the child back during the holidays and let him live with his grandparents for a while."

Sun Dajiang replied politely, and soon the group arrived at his grandfather's house. The situation at his grandfather's house and his grandfather's house was not bad, and they both lived in a few large tiled houses.

Grandpa and second uncle are not at home, they are doing carpentry work for others. Grandma, second aunt, and a few children are at home.

Grandma was very happy to see her grandchildren coming. (Unlike Jia Zhang, who only loved her grandchildren and regarded them as money-losing goods. Jia Zhang: Old Jia, come and take them away!) She called her second aunt to kill the chicken.

At noon, Lin Hong's family also came and brought two wild rabbits (which Lin Hong and Lin Wenjun caught while hunting). The two big families sat at one table for adults and another for children. They ate until their mouths were full of oil.

After dinner, they chatted for a while. Sun Dajiang and his wife were ready to go back to the city. If it was too late, there would be no car. They left 50 yuan for each of the two families. Grandma and grandpa pushed for a long time, but they couldn't refuse and had to accept it.

In fact, the two families lived a very good life in the village. My grandparents had their own land, and my grandfather and second uncle earned a lot as carpenters.

My grandfather's family also has land. My grandfather is the village chief. My uncle has trained with my grandfather and is now the company commander of the village militia.

In the evening, when Grandpa and Uncle came home, there was another round of excitement. Sun Zhengguo asked Grandpa to practice martial arts, and Grandpa agreed.

"As long as you can endure hardship, grandpa will teach you."

"Don't worry, Grandpa." You have to know that the soul in his brain is from the future. You have to know that he was an orphan in his previous life and had suffered a lot.

The next morning, Sun Zhengguo came to his grandfather's house (just a few steps away from his grandfather's house). Several children of similar age came together to join in the fun.

"Grandpa knows swordsmanship and boxing. Now it's a peaceful time, why don't you learn boxing first?"

"My grandfather's boxing style is called Tongbeiquan, which is one of China's traditional boxing styles. It has many schools and different origins. It was spread in Beijing and Tianjin.

It was created by Qi Xin in the late Qing Dynasty, combining the pole technique of Mr. Ma from Henan and the knife technique of Mr. Zhao, to form the twelve-link pole technique, the eight-step thirteen knife technique, and the one hundred and eight single-handed technique.

The main techniques are five basic palm techniques: throwing, slapping, piercing, chopping and gathering. Through the use of eight techniques such as circling, grabbing, hooking, cutting, rubbing and fanning, many boxing movements are generated. Its characteristics are that the hand is a palm, the hand is a fist, the hand is back again, and it is a palm again, and it is a fist again. "

"In addition, it has six kinds of stances, namely Qiankun stance, Ziwu stance, Five Elements stance, Zhonghe stance, Hunyuan stance, and Zhoutian stance."

"Let's start with Qiankun Posture today. If you don't practice martial arts, it will all be in vain when you grow old. You need to practice Posture every day."

As he spoke, Grandpa squatted down and swung his arms back and forth, his movements were graceful and elegant. Anyone who has seen Tongbeiquan should know that the movements in Tongbeiquan fighting are smooth and elegant, very beautiful, and have strong attack power.

After a while, the set of movements was completed, and Lin Hong continued to perform, not stopping until he had performed it three times.

"You come and try it," Lin Hong said.

Sun Zhengguo imitated his grandfather, stood in a horse stance, and started fighting with his hands.

The first time, I didn't play very well, but after playing it twice more, I gradually got better. The more I played, the better I got, and the faster I played.

Lin Hong nodded after watching. This little grandson is still a good candidate for martial arts. He is much stronger than he was back then.

When he was serving in the 29th Army, he was one of the three best talents picked out by the master at that time, but he was much worse than his grandson.

Half an hour later, Sun Zhengguo was too tired to move.

"Stop? You did pretty well the first time. You'll get hurt if you keep doing it. Take your time. I'll get you some meat to replenish your body and some herbs to give you a medicinal bath."

"You know, you can't practice martial arts blindly. If you don't have enough nutrition, it won't work. Herbal baths can reduce injuries, otherwise you will be ruined."

Grandpa kept explaining.

I massaged Sun Zhengguo for a while to relax his muscles.

When we practiced again in the afternoon, the other kids had already dispersed because they saw how tiring it was.

After practicing for an entire afternoon, Sun Zhengguo felt like he couldn't even walk anymore. He was laughed at by Sun Zhengan and others. He had a quick dinner and went to rest.

In the next few days, he practiced martial arts all the time. The food for my grandfather's family also improved. My grandfather and uncle went up the mountain to hunt and set traps every day.

The harvest was great, including pheasants, hares, roe deer, and some mushrooms and fungi.

In a blink of an eye, a week has passed, and Sun Zhengguo has learned three types of pile methods and has mastered them all. On this day, he will take a medicinal bath.

These herbs were collected from the mountains and were not considered precious. The truly precious herbs were those that could only be used after reaching a great state, and were over a hundred years old. Anyway, Lin Hong had never used them, and neither had his master.

Yes, the Tongbeiquan that Sun Zhengguo practices has clear force, dark force, and the legendary transforming force.

When you enter the early stage of Ming Jin, beating three to five people is no problem. In the middle stage, beating three to five trained people is no problem. In the late stage, beating ten to eight people is no problem. When you reach the peak of Ming Jin, beating ten to eight trained people is no problem.

As for hidden power, according to Lin Hong, his master was a hidden power, which could injure people without being seen. After injuring people, some died several days later, and the cause could not be found.

As for Hua Jin, that is just a legend. I don't know if anyone has achieved it, or maybe it is just a theory.

No matter what else, Sun Zhengguo was feeling both pain and happiness at the same time. The medicine was very hot, but it was very comfortable to soak in it.

After taking the medicinal bath, Sun Zhengguo mastered the remaining three types of standing exercises in just five days. He enjoyed the medicinal bath again.

The next time I soak in the water, I have to wait until I have mastered the Zhuang Gong to a small degree, and then the Zhu Gong to a great degree. Getting started is easy, but mastering the small degree is difficult, and mastering the great degree is even more difficult. This is not something that Sun Zhengguo is considering for the time being.

A hungry eagle hunts a rabbit, a wild horse runs through pine trees, a fan is poked and a frightened eagle stretches out its claws; in the yard, Sun Zhengguo performs the Tongbeiquan moves one by one.

After the second medicinal bath, Lin Hong started teaching Sun Zhengguo the moves. Now Sun Zhengguo has learned all 108 single-exercise techniques. As for when to get started, he still needs to practice more.

After Sun Zhengguo learned the 108-hand maneuvers, he planned to learn hunting from his grandfather. In the future, when there is a famine and there is nothing to eat, he can go hunting to spice up his life.

In this way, Sun Zhengguo began to practice martial arts and hunt, and secretly shot a few times with his uncle. His uncle was the company commander of the militia, and the militia in the village still had a few guns (the management of guns and ammunition was not so strict in the 1950s and 1960s).

Time flies by, and there are still 3 days left before school starts. Today, my parents came to pick up the three little ones. Sun Zhengguo and his friends are saying goodbye to their grandparents, their second uncle's family, and their grandfather's family.

"Go back and practice well. I'll check on you when you come back during the New Year break."

"Got it, Grandpa, don't worry, I will practice hard."

After getting on the car, Sun Zhengguo waved his hands vigorously when he saw the figure becoming increasingly blurry.
