Martial Arts Song

Chapter 98 Beat again
"what?"

I originally thought that Chen Qing had given up on the idea of ​​swimming, but the next sentence changed the subject and asked him to patrol slowly.

Mu Dachao, who was worried about the danger here, naturally did not dare to stay alone to patrol. He could only smile bitterly and said: "Then I'd better go swimming with Brother Qing."

Afterwards, after the two of them finished eating the noodles, they left "Xinan Road" directly and headed towards the river chosen by Chen Qing.

The water source of Qianyang is basically in the Hexi District, but it is not upstream, but downstream.

The water in the entire Qian Province is diverted here from the surrounding high-altitude provinces, and finally converges to form rivers and streams.

On the Qianyang side, it flows from Jinguan and Yunyang, then runs through the entire city of Qianyang, and finally converges into several larger rivers and ten or twenty streams on the river side.

Many of these rivers and streams converge into pools with blue waves in pothole areas.

The first thing Chen Qing came to was the "Caoxi River" that runs through the river.

The river flows from a direction unknown to Chen Qing, passes through most of the river, and then flows to other unknown places.

Because there are many water plants in the river, it got its name.

The reason why Chen Qing chose this river was that it was close enough, not far from the "Xinan Road" where he and Mu Dachao were patrolling.

If he wants to practice, he must choose the nearest place. He can't go far away to practice. Not only will the medicine for nourishing qi and blood not be kept up, but also work will be delayed - after all, he can't miss work every day.

However, when the two came to the embankment of the nearby "Caoxi River", Chen Qing discovered that the river in this area was very shallow.

When they arrived, there were already many half-year-old children, young people, and elderly people. They couldn't bear the heat and went down the stairs built on the river embankment to swim inside.

Chen Qing stood on the river embankment and discovered that the deepest water in the "Caoxi River" area only reached an adult's waist. It was estimated that it was only about one meter deep at most.

It’s impossible to practice at this depth.

However, he also understood that the depth of a river is different in different sections.

So he stretched out his hand to stop a half-year-old child who was passing by and took off his shirt and was about to go into the river and asked: "Hey, kid, do you know which section of the Caoxi River is the deepest?"

The half-grown child glanced at him, not bothered by the patrol uniform he was wearing, and replied: "Of course, the section below the walled city has drowned countless people, is it here? Huh~"

After saying that, he raised his hand and said "bang" before walking down the river embankment stairs.

"Are all the brats here in Hexi so arrogant?"

Mu Dachao, who was beside Chen Qing, looked at the kid and frowned and said, "You're not afraid of the police at all!"

Ordinary people would try to stay away from the patrols in Yunyang and Nanba, but the people on the Hexi side didn't seem to be afraid, which made Mu Dachao feel strange.

Chen Qing didn't care about this. After listening to the kid's words, he walked along the river towards the walled city.

Mu Dachao was stunned when he saw this and asked: "Brother Qing, aren't you going to swim anymore?"

"What's the point of swimming in such a shallow way?"

Chen Qing replied casually.

About ten minutes later, the two of them followed the river and arrived near Hexi City Walled City.

After getting closer, this walled city with countless wooden houses built against half of the mountain looks even bigger!
Chen Qing and Mu Dachao stood below, feeling as small as standing at the foot of a mountain.

"This walled city is so damn big!"

Mu Dachao looked at the walled city and couldn't help but sigh.

However, Chen Qing's attention was not on the walled city, but below the walled city.

He lay on the guardrail of the river embankment and looked down at the walled city.

I saw that there was indeed a section below the walled city that was empty due to the construction of a cement sill and a large cement groove.

The "Caoxi River" flows through here and gathers into a huge turquoise pool in the groove.

Chen Qing could tell that the cement sills and grooves on both sides were built to prevent the foundation from being gradually eroded away by the water flow and causing collapse.

However, this place is really suitable for him to practice the "Golden Toad Swallowing" limit-breaking method!
"It's close to the patrol house, and the depth seems to be suitable. There's still cement under the water tank. Even if there is sediment brought from upstream, there won't be the kind of sediment trap that gets entangled when you step in. It's like a tailor-made one. Same……"

Looking at the pool below, Chen Qing sighed in his heart.

The only disadvantage here is that it is too close to the walled city and there are too many people coming and going. It is not possible to practice here during the day when the light is bright, so you can only practice at night.

But in this case, he has to live here.

For a moment, Chen Qing hesitated.

But soon, he made a decision!

"Dachao, I'm going to live in the dormitory here starting tomorrow."

Chen Qing turned to Mu Dachao, who was still shocked by the city wall.

His progress has been stalled for too long!
"what?"

Mu Dachao was stunned again, looked at Chen Qing, and asked, "Why?"

"Don't you think it's tiring to walk over there every day?"

Chen Qing said lightly: "Especially, my home is a long way away from your home. The distance I walk here every day is half an hour longer than yours."

"……really."

Hearing this, Mu Dachao had no choice but to nod his head.

It takes thirty or forty minutes to get here from his house, which he feels is far enough, but it takes half an hour to get from Chen Qing's house to his house, which adds up to more than an hour a day's commute to work!

And for the next year, their daily work consisted of patrolling everywhere, and he felt tired just thinking about it.

So, Mu Dachao said tentatively: "Then after I go back today, I will also tell my mother that we will live in the dormitory here together from tomorrow?"

"can."

After hearing this, Chen Qing nodded, "Let's go on patrol."

If Mu Dachao is willing to live in the dormitory with him, that is of course the best.

"Aren't you going to swim anymore?"

Mu Dachao asked blankly.

Chen Qing rolled her eyes at him and said, "What the hell, didn't you hear that kid say that many people drowned here? And I'm not telling you, do you really want to skip work the next day? Let's go! "

"...I really can't guess what you are thinking at all."

Mu Dachao smiled bitterly.

It was obviously Chen Qing who wanted to skip work, but now he was accusing him. He didn't even know what to say.

Afterwards, the two returned to Xinan Road and continued their patrol this afternoon.

Soon, it was sunset and dusk.

Chen Qing and Mu Dachao returned to the patrol room together. After signing in again, they returned to Yunyang District together after get off work.

After breaking up with Mu Dachao in Yunyang, Chen Qing went straight to Xing Zhaowu's "Hundred Pharmacy" on Huansha Road.

At this time, the sun has set and night will soon fall. In front of the "Hundred Pharmacy", Xing Zhaowu is wearing an apron and taking back the basket of medicinal materials placed outside the shop with his father.

"Awu."

Chen Qing called Xing Zhaowu.

Xing Zhaowu, who was collecting the basket of medicinal materials, was shaken all over.

Then, he slowly turned his head and looked over, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Brother Qing?"

Since the last time on September 10th, when everyone saw the admission list, Xing Zhaowu dropped out of the Tiger Gate after losing the selection, and Chen Qing and Xing Zhaowu have not had much contact.

It's not that he dumped people after taking advantage of them, but because Chen Zhengzhong was beheaded that evening, and the next day he was "committed to death to prove his ambition" and was forced to go to "Xinghuihuang" to clarify the matter, but was beaten inside. The series of black guns.

After that, he went to Qianyang Military Academy for training for another month, and when he came back, he met his uncle Bai Yingsheng, who was from the same school but from a different sect, etc., which made Chen Qing somewhat unable to spare any time.

Of course, Chen Qing admitted that he was indeed using Xing Zhaowu, including now.

This is how interpersonal relationships are. If we have common interests, we will connect with each other. If we no longer have common interests, we will be temporarily separated. When we have common interests again in the future, we will restore contact.

The reason why he came to Xing Zhaowu this time was because he had become more interested in practicing martial arts, and he was planning to buy medicine to nourish qi and blood again.

But the Xing Zhaowu family has also benefited from this. This is a win-win cooperation.

It's just that many times we can't speak too straightforwardly.

Just like now, after seeing Xing Zhaowu calling him Brother Qing in disbelief, Chen Qing smiled and asked: "Awu, I haven't seen you for more than a month, how are you doing?"

"Still the same as before, so-so."

Xing Zhaowu scratched his head in embarrassment and looked at the patrol uniform Chen Qing was wearing, his eyes full of envy.

"I'll take care of the rest, and you go talk to Chief Chen."

Xing Zhaowu's father saw it from the side, took the basket of medicinal materials from Xing Zhaowu's hand, and said.

After seeing Chen Qing wearing a patrol uniform, he no longer dared to show off his shrewdness as a businessman and call Chen Qing "Xiao Chen" or "Brother Chen". "Okay, thank you dad."

After hearing what his father said, Xing Zhaowu thanked him and then trotted over to Chen Qing.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Chen Qing asked Xing Zhaowu if he had taken the exam again after failing the exam, or if he had any other thoughts, which was a belated expression of comfort and concern.

After Xing Zhaowu answered them one by one, he asked about Chen Qing's current situation.

After such an exchange, Chen Qing explained the purpose of his visit. He only heard him say: "Awu, start making medicine for me tomorrow. The medicine price will still be the same as before, but you may need to send it to the other side of the river starting from the day after tomorrow. Don't worry, I will I’ll pay enough for the errands.”

"No problem, Brother Qing!"

Thanks to the exchange of greetings just now, Xing Zhaowu did not hesitate, patted his chest directly, and agreed with a smile: "It's just a medicine, it's a small thing!"

"Ah."

Chen Qing nodded and said, "Let's start sleeping tomorrow morning. I'll need it tomorrow morning. Then I will give you a week's worth of medicine and errands first, and then I'll come back once a week to pay in advance."

Now that he has become a patrolman, although he is only an assistant patrolman, he does not have to worry about Xing Zhaowu's family running away.

This is the change that identity brings.

"it is good!"

Xing Zhaowu smiled again and nodded in agreement, and said: "Actually, Brother Qing, you don't need to pay in advance. You can just come back and settle the payment once a week or two."

"No, no, it's not easy to do business. We can't let you both contribute and advance capital. This is not good."

Chen Qing shook his head and rejected Xing Zhaowu's proposal.

At this point, the matter of nourishing qi and blood medicine has been achieved.

After this small talk, the sky turned completely dark.

Chen Qing said: "Okay, it's getting dark, I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, he took steps and continued towards Nanba.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xing Zhaowu stopped trying to stay and just went back to tell his father about the matter.

After hearing this, the always shrewd father Xing Zhaowu said: "Although delivering goods to Hexi is a bit risky, it's not a big problem if you go in the morning. He is already on patrol now. If you can keep in touch, try to keep in touch and let us know when the time is right. A little profit is not a big deal. In short, just remember to keep in touch to maintain this friendship."

"Well, I see."

Xing Zhaowu nodded and listened attentively.

After failing the exam, he has given up on his unrealistic dream and has been learning business from his father for more than a month.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Qing was once again under the influence of his biological clock and woke up at dawn.

Afterwards, he simply dressed and washed, then put on his patrol uniform and went out.

When he walked all the way to the junction of Nanba and Yunyang, he took a detour to Huansha Road, in front of Xing Zhaowu's "Hundred Pharmacy".

The Xing Zhaowu family also prepared the medicinal materials early in the morning.

After Chen Qing saw that the medicine was ready, he took out a one-foot-tall iron lunch box and asked them to pack it - he bought it specially for this purpose.

After the medicine was packaged, Chen Qing paid for a week's worth of medicine. Except for today's medicine, which he came to pick up in person, which was counted as 100 yuan, the medicines for the remaining six days were considered to be 105 yuan each. One hundred yuan is for medicine, and five yuan is for running errands to Hexi.

After paying the money, Chen Qing carried the tin box lunch and came to Mu Dachao's house downstairs to call him.

After Mu Dachao came down, he looked at the iron lunch box in Chen Qing's hand and asked strangely: "Brother Qing, why did you bring a lunch box?"

"We will live in a dormitory from now on, so of course it will be used for food."

Chen Qing replied.

After he went back last night, he told Chen Zhengzhong about living in a dormitory.

Chen Zhengzhong didn't say anything after hearing this.

"Holy shit, I'm not prepared!"

Mu Dachao leaned back, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's buy a new one on the way."

When he went back last night, he also talked about living in the dormitory, and said that it was Chen Qing's suggestion, so his family gave him a week's living expenses.

After that, the two walked all the way to the patrol room in Hexi, signed in like yesterday, and then went to patrol Xinan Road.

Today's patrol was another uneventful day with nothing happening.

People on the Hexi side are not as afraid of patrols as those in Yunyang and Nanba, and they also have no intention of approaching the patrols if something goes wrong. Instead, their first reaction is to find older uncles and elders to deal with justice.

Chen Qing and Mu Dachao met several times.

In this regard, Chen Qing and Mu Da were naturally at ease.

After the day's patrol, Chen Qing and Mu Dachao also moved into the dormitory in the Hexi patrol house.

After they moved in, they discovered that they were not the only ones living in the dormitory, there were also many new assistant police officers and veteran police officers.

Among them were classmates they had trained before.

Then, after seeing familiar faces, everyone naturally gathered together for a rare chat.

"Hey, have you been to the Walled City? I heard in the past two days that there are a lot of fun things there! How about we go and have fun together after get off work another day?"

"No, that's okay! Let's go play together someday?"

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose another day, how about now?"

"Forget it, I have to go to work tomorrow, and I heard it's a mess here at night!"

"Yeah, let's wait until we get to know each other better and find an old patrolman to take us with us? What do you think?"

"This is good, this is good..."

On the third day after arriving, everyone was still very timid.

Although I heard that there are a lot of fun things in the walled city, I also heard many legends about the chaos on the river side at night, so I didn't have the courage to go out to play.

So, after chatting like this until late at night, everyone went back to their dormitories to sleep.

The dormitory in the patrol room is for two people and is not as crowded as Qianyang Military Academy. After all, they are already patrollers and it is impossible to give them that kind of treatment.

Chen Qing was naturally in the same dormitory as Mu Dachao.

Late at night, Mu Dachao, who had been patrolling for a day, returned to the dormitory after chatting and fell asleep directly, snoring loudly.

Amidst Mu Dachao's snoring, Chen Qing quietly got up and walked out with the tin lunch box he brought today.

With his skill, he climbed out of the dormitory wall and walked towards the walled city in the dark.

In the river at night, except for the huge walled city in the distance, the rest of the river is like Nanba without any lighting street lights.

Chen Qing walked all the way to the outside of the walled city in the dark, and then saw many men and women entering and leaving the walled city.

But he did not follow the group of people into the walled city. Instead, he came to the river embankment near the walled city, found the stairs built down, and walked down carrying the tin box lunch.

When he arrived at the river, he first placed the tin box lunch in his hand on the first step of the stairs, then took a deep breath, then took off his shoes and stepped into the river.

The moment he put his feet into the water, the cold river water instantly stimulated his nerves and made him particularly awake.

But he still walked towards the middle of the river without hesitation, towards the huge pool below the walled city.

Soon, the water was over his chest.

At this time, Chen Qing finally stopped.

The next second, he held his breath, opened his mouth suddenly, took a breath, and then took another breath, a total of two breaths, which directly made his cheeks bulge!
Then, without hesitation, Chen Qing shrank and dived into the water with a "swish" sound.

After that, Chen Qing, who was under the water, lay down directly on the bottom of the river, and then began to use the "Golden Toad Swallowing" limit-breaking method to swallow the two breaths he just took!
"Goo~"

"Goo~"

"Goo~"

Gurgling sounds came out as he took these two breaths.

But because they were underwater, the sounds didn't spread.

As he continued to hold his breath and take two breaths underwater, Chen Qing felt that his lungs were gradually getting hotter.

at the same time.

Chen Qing also discovered that the [Essence] value under his left eye, which had stopped for more than a month, finally began to increase and beat after a long absence...
