"Old Jiang, how much money did you make this trip?"
"Xiao Jiang, you are a big bagger, you bought a lot of things back."
Jiang Liu was walking on the path in the mountains, and he occasionally met a few villagers, who greeted him warmly.
His peers call him Lao Jiang, and his elders call him Xiao Jiang, but along the way, he hardly meets a few people of the same age. Most of the people living in this village are left-behind old people and children.
Shi'ao Village, Damin County, this village located deep in the mountains is the poorest village in this impoverished county.
With the development of the times, more and more people could not stand the poverty and loneliness of the deep mountains, and moved to other villages below the mountains to live. Most of those who stayed here were from poor families and could not move.
Of course, there is an accident here, and that is the Jiang family.
No one can say when the Qingjiang family moved here, but as long as the villagers can remember, the conditions of the Jiang family are not bad.
Jiang Liu's great-grandpa brought his only son to this deep mountain and old forest, and bought land from the then captain with rare bacon and wine. After the house was built, Jiang Liu's grandfather married the most prosperous local. From then on, the girl from the family of the old family gained a foothold in this small backwater village.
During the years of the Cultural Revolution, they were just like ordinary villagers, working in the fields to earn work points. Occasionally, when Jiangliu¡¯s great-grandpa went out, he would always bring back some good things from outside. Don't forget to give something to the neighbors nearby. In this area, word of mouth is very good.
Because he was an outsider, Jiang Liu's father also married a girl from the village. After several generations, when Jiang Liu was born, they had completely integrated into the village.
At that time, society was changing with each passing day. Many ghosts and snake spirits who were defeated during the Cultural Revolution were rehabilitated one after another. Many people who were engaged in low-level industries in the Republic of China and could not hide were gradually regaining their old jobs. Only then did the villagers know that it turned out that Back then, the man who hid in their village with his only son was Zhang Yihe, a famous "ghost" who was once famous on the road.
It is rumored that Zhang Yibox once performed juggling for the leader of the Beiyang warlords. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he stuffed his body into a small box. His bones and muscles seemed to be like cotton, which could be compressed and folded at will. Zhang Yihe used to be a frequent guest at many celebrity banquets because of his bone shrinking skills. With this skill, he earned a lot of silver dollars during the Republic of China.
Later, after the war, Zhang Yihe disappeared. Many people thought he was dead, and this stunt was also broken in his generation.
But in fact, not only did he not die, but he also cultivated an excellent successor, that is, Jiang Liu's father, Jiang Sanchun.
In the 1980s, Jiang Sanchun was also a well-known figure in the juggling circle. He led the grass troupe to perform around and accumulated a lot of money.
Many people who have seen him perform are amazed at this bone-shrinking stunt, but it is a pity that Jiang Sanchun has an independent personality and does not like to perform with others, which also leads to the weakness of his team. Without enough momentum, It's hard to fire up.
However, the grass troupe alone earned enough money from tours. With this ability, Jiang Sanchun rebuilt the house on the mountain, and built a three-story bungalow at the foot of the mountain. He added a TV, radio and refrigerator to the house. There are also powerful motorcycles and Santanas. In this poor village, Jiang Sanchun is the richest one.
Many people envied the Jiang family's abilities, and wanted to send their children to the Jiang family as apprentices, but they were all rejected by the Jiang family. Their attitude was very clear, and they could help the villagers improve their lives as much as they could. The craftsmanship passed down from family to family will never be passed on to outsiders.
Not only the Jiang family is like this, but many craftsmen are like this, so many special skills and secret recipes will be lost.
The descendants of this generation of the Jiang family are precisely the objects that Jiang Liu possesses in this world.
Many people only see how easy it is to make a lot of money after practicing bone shrinking skills, but ignore the difficulty of practicing bone shrinking skills.
Looking at the original body's memory, he cried almost every day during the few years when he first started practicing bone shrinking skills.
The key to practicing bone shrinking skills is joint dislocation. When Yuanzheng was young, his father Jiang Sanchun would dislocate several bones on his body with a special technique handed down from his family, and then straighten the bones back and apply a special ointment.
This kind of procedure is almost repeated every three to five times. The pain of bone dislocation is unbearable for ordinary people, let alone multiple bones, frequent dislocation and alignment.
This is the mystery of the shrinkable bone technique. The reason for this is to let children who learn this acrobatics get used to dislocations at an age when their bones are not yet finalized, and they can dislocate at will according to their own wishes.After practicing this skill in the later stage, because of frequent dislocation and reset, I will no longer feel pain.
However, the most painful thing about practicing this kind of kung fu is not the process of practicing, but the environment of practicing. It is said that practicing in winter and practicing in summer, no matter how bad the weather is, the original body has to wear thin training clothes. Practice basic skills such as cross-legged, lower back, and bending in the open air.
Yuanchen didn't dare not practice it, because he knew that it was a cooking skill handed down by their family, and in his generation, he would be the only heir left.
So he gritted his teeth and swallowed it in his mouth. No matter how hard or tired he was, he only dared to cry when he was sleeping. When he was 16 years old, he had mastered this kung fu, and began to travel with his father, relying on this acrobatic Craft to make money.
It's just that Yuanchen's fate was not good. A few years after he started to establish a family, his parents died of illness one after another, and they married a wife, but they fell in the eighth month of pregnancy, resulting in a dystocia. Neither mother nor child survived.
Yuan, who was hit one after another, was very depressed, and moved back to the mountain from the beautiful small bungalow at the foot of the mountain. He stayed at home like this for three full years before he regained his mood and resumed his old job.
Just because he couldn't let go of his deceased wife, the original body has never remarried. Now he is almost forty, and he doesn't have any children to inherit this skill.
The original body came back this time to find a few apprentices. He didn't want this skill to be broken in his own hands. Even if it was passed on to people with a different surname, he also wanted to pass on this skill.
Jiang Liu came here at this time.
And his mission is also related to this matter.
According to the trajectory of the previous life, Yuanshen found three apprentices in the village. These three children happened to be the children of the three families with the most difficult conditions in the village.
The barrenness of this village is hard for outsiders to imagine. The per capita annual income is less than 800. Except for a handful of young people, the village is basically occupied by left-behind old people and children, and those young people who go out to work to earn money Couples, many left and never came back. No one knows what happened to them, or they plan to abandon these drags and start a new life.
In this village, many people¡¯s houses are built with walls made of cow dung, mud and straw. When it rains, water leaks and smells like nothing. They don¡¯t have a decent piece of furniture. On a plank bed.
In the eyes of many people, the impossible living conditions can be found everywhere on this mountain.
The family situation of Yuanshen's first apprentice, Xiao Binbin, was the most miserable.
Six-year-old Xiao Binbin has a pair of twin sisters. Because he couldn¡¯t afford to support his two newborn daughters, Xiao Binbin¡¯s father excused himself to go out to work and never returned. After Xiao Binbin¡¯s father Xiao Guohui disappeared, his mother Zhang Yanfen began to feel unwell. At first, she thought it was because she didn't have enough rest after giving birth, until later, her physical discomfort became more and more serious. For the sake of her three children, Zhang Yanfen had to spend money to go to the hospital for an examination at the foot of the mountain, but it turned out to be a bad news, she got uremia , must undergo dialysis and kidney replacement to save his life.
How can such a high cost be afforded by a family like theirs, Zhang Yanfen didn't tell anyone, and sneaked back to the mountain, and then, as if nothing happened, she wanted to grit her teeth and save enough food for her children for several years.
But such a serious illness, how can she survive it with hard work.
Zhang Yanfen passed out while working in the field and was sent to the hospital at the foot of the mountain. Only then did the village know what disease she had.
Although every family is short of money, everyone still pays you five yuan, and I collected ten yuan for a fee, plus the 20,000 yuan given by the original body at the time. Under Xiao Binbin's strong request, Zhang Yanfen received a period of treatment. .
However, the money was not spent, and the medical expenses that he had collected soon ran out. Zhang Yanfen moved back home from the hospital, relying on some herbal medicines that he did not know where to continue his life.
Xiao Binbin was the first to sign up when the original body announced that it wanted to accept disciples.
Although he is only six years old, he knows the importance of money too well. Learning this skill may be very hard, but only in this way can he earn a lot of money, save his mother, and support his two younger sisters.
Yuanshen's other two apprentices, Xu Quanjun and Wang Gouzi, were abandoned by their parents and lived with their elderly grandparents. Like Xiao Binbin, they and their families were told in advance that it was difficult to practice this skill, but in order to make a living, In order to earn a lot of money in the future and live the same good life as the original body, they agreed without hesitation, and among a bunch of competitors, they were selected by the original body.
Children from poor families can endure hardship beyond everyone's imagination, especially these children are obsessed with perseverance, as long as they have enough time, they will be able to pass on this skill very well, just as they think As in the past, relying on this craft to improve the current embarrassing life.
It just happened by accident.
A group of backpackers who strayed into this mountain village took a video of Yuanshen teaching several children and dislocating their joints. After the video of Xiao Binbin and others were red-eyed but dared not make a sound was uploaded on the Internet, Yuanshen suddenly became the target of public criticism. .
What made the original body even more unacceptable was the ensuing betrayal of several apprentices who he regarded as his own children. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)As you think, relying on this craft to improve the current embarrassing life.
