I turned my head to look at the old man. His tone and expression seemed to be not simple!
"Okay! Anyway, I know the danger is enough, so I won't watch it anymore."
"Hey! The food is still hot!"
We arrived at the edge of a reservoir. There was no table or chairs, just two small stools. The dish - grilled fish was placed next to the fire in front of us.
"Can I eat it?"
"Yes!" I grabbed the fish and took a bite.
"Hey! I like you, kid. You're not pretentious! Give me another mouthful of this."
As the old man spoke, he took out a wine gourd. As soon as he opened it, he could smell the aroma of white wine.
“I can’t drink!”
"Then I'll drink it myself."
I made a gesture of invitation.
The old man chuckled and took a big gulp.
"Shaojun is your aunt?"
Hmm? You know about me? And calling her Aunt Jun is like calling a younger person in the family. I couldn't help but nod.
"Does the old squad leader know my Aunt Jun?"
The old man smiled again: “This girl is so willful, but she can actually raise a child who is so outstanding.
She gave you a book, didn't she? That one isn't as good as this one."
The old man threw me a book, which was similar to the one Aunt Jun gave me. It also had no cover and the paper was yellowed.
"Are you my aunt Jun's master?"
The old man smiled and said, "She is my great-granddaughter."
What? Great-disciple! How many disciples does this old man have?
"My last name is Peng! You can just call me Old Man Peng."
"How can this be?" I quickly stood up and saluted him respectfully: "Hello, Grandpa Peng!"
No matter if they are great-disciples or not, I respect them as long as they are kind to Aunt Jun.
And from what he said, my leg training book should be his.
"Yeah! You're capable and polite. I like that."
Mr. Peng then took out a wooden sign and said, "I'll give you this too. If you get into trouble, take this out."
I took the sign. On the front was an old man holding a fishing rod and wearing a bamboo hat, and on the back was the word "Peng".
"Thank you, Grandpa Peng!"
"Alright! Don't be polite, eat quickly. After you're done, I guess you'll have to go back too."
I ate three fish, and Mr. Peng didn't say another word to me. He just concentrated on eating the fish.
After we finished eating, he smiled and waved to me: "Okay, little kid! We will meet again if we are lucky."
I knew that Mr. Peng had ordered me to leave, and I didn't want to disturb him anymore, so I said goodbye to him.
When I returned to the dormitory, Director Fang and the others were waiting for me. We were leaving in the afternoon.
After getting in the car, Tong Feifei sat next to me and asked, "Where were you during the meeting? Why didn't I see you?"
I didn't hide it from her and took out Mr. Peng's sign.
Just as I was about to tell the origin of the brand, Tong Feifei exclaimed:
"Grand Master's token?"
"What?"
I suddenly remembered that Aunt Jun and Tong Feifei seemed to have the same master.
"Who is your great master then? What use is he giving me this for?"
Tong Feifei looked at me like I was a fool: "You don't know anything?"
I shrugged. "He just treated me to fish and gave me this and a book."
Tong Feifei was stunned again and looked at me for a long time without saying anything.
"Feifei!"
Tong Feifei looked around, then put her head close to mine:
"The Grand Master's name is Peng Jun, and he is the chief martial arts instructor of our country's army."
Oh shit!
I gasped. Chief Instructor, how awesome must one's skills be to be able to do this?
"The people he trained are all the personal guards of the leaders. This fishing sou brand, the Grand Master gave it away with no more than a slap."
"So precious?" Although he didn't know what it was for, Peng Jun's status was there, and he gave away so little.
Why do I feel a little different about myself?
"What's this sign for?"
"Amulet! Let's put it this way! No matter who wants to touch you, even if they have a hundred guts, they won't dare to move after seeing this sign."
So exaggerated? Doesn't that mean I can do whatever I want?
Did he give me this badge because he likes me, or because he had to use it to protect me?
At this time, Tong Feifei's cell phone rang, and she said "Hello" and then there was no response.
There was a woman's voice on the other end of the phone. I heard her shout "Fei Fei Ji Cheng is back..." and then I couldn't hear anything else.
I could see Tong Feifei's finger pressing the volume down button.
"Okay!" After saying this, she hung up the phone.
"Zheng Yang! I have something to do when we get back to Kyoto, so I won't be with you."
"Oh!" I agreed without any doubt and concentrated on reading the book given by Peng Jun.
It should be a kind of kung fu like breaking bones and tendons, with each move being deadly and targeting acupuncture points.
There are detailed diagrams and explanations of the key gestures for pinching, locking, grabbing, and poking.
This is more suitable for me than leg techniques.
If I want to fight with someone, I have to practice for a long time, and even if I do, I may not be able to defeat the opponent.
This is different. It happens out of the blue and no one can stand it.
I was watching very carefully and didn't notice that Tong Feifei was looking at me from time to time while sending messages, with a face full of contradictions.
…
We arrived in Kyoto in the evening and I went straight home.
Aunt Jun knew I was coming back today, so she prepared a large table of food for me.
"Zheng Yang! Do you have any good news to tell me?"
"Good news? Oh! I helped the Special Operations Brigade win the exercise."
Aunt Jun shook her head: "Not this!"
Does she know that I met her great master?
"Your Grand Master gave me a fishing sou card."
"What?" Although Aunt Jun was surprised, it was obvious that this was not what she wanted me to say.
