Chapter 6 Chapter Six

"Waterside" Hotel is located on the Moon Island of Baihe River, overlooking the mirror-like water surface, surrounded by weeping willows and green grass, and the environment is very elegant.In the morning, when most of the guests were going out, Li Yueying went to clean the rooms on the fourth floor.She is a fat mother, fatter than fat.She has a round waist, elephant-like buttocks, she speaks like thunder, and she is enthusiastic and forthright. All her colleagues like her. There are three Japanese guests in the guest room on the fourth floor, who came the day before yesterday.There is an old gentleman named Asahara Yoshihito, who is 89 years old.He likes to wear a kimono indoors. In Li Yueying's eyes, this kimono resembles the feather cloak worn by Chinese Taoist priests when they perform rituals.The old man can speak fluent Chinese, always smiling, bowing before meeting people.The other two are a couple. The woman is about 32 or 30 years old. She is very beautiful, doesn't speak much, and always has a cold look on her face.The name she wrote in the registration was Asahara Yoshiko, probably the granddaughter of the old man.Her husband's name is Nakao Abe, who is at least ten years older than her and has a gloomy face all day long.He is dumb, and Li Yueying once saw the husband and wife talking dumb.

When tidying up the old man's room 423, he walked in from the outside wearing kimono clogs, and nodded with a smile before entering the door: "Hi, I won't hinder your work in the room." Yueying dragged the vacuum cleaner back and forth in the room: "It's okay, it's okay. The old man went out for a walk?" "Yes, it's really beautiful here! China, an ancient civilization; Nanyang, a famous historical city in China. It rests on the cows and rides the Jianghan River, and the three rivers lead to lakes. Nanyang has a very special status, which happens to be the intersection of the Neolithic cultures of the Yellow River Basin and the Yangtze River Basin. The city was built in the Xia and Shang Dynasties, and it was the fiefdom of the uncle Shen Bo in the Zhou Dynasty. It was a famous city in the country in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Nanyang’s historical celebrities include Fan Li, Baili Xi, Liu Xiu, Zhang Heng, Zhang Zhongjing, Fan Ye, Fan Zhen, Yu Xin, Cen Shen, Zhang Xun... Nanyang, a great and famous city!"

The old man nodded his head and sighed three times.Li Yueying admired it very much, this little Japanese really knows a lot, better than me who is from Nanyang.At this time, the old man changed the subject: "I heard that there is another celebrity in Nanyang, a young knight-errant, Flash, Mr. Zhu Xiaogang?" Li Yueying was taken aback: Mr. Zhu Xiaogang?Japanese name?But she guessed right away: "You mean Zhu Xiaogang, Xiaogang? How do you know?" "There is also a Nanyang City in Japan with the same name as here, do you know?" "I know. Not long ago, a delegation from Nanyang City, Japan visited and stayed in this hotel."

"That's right, I just heard what they said." Li Yueying turned off the vacuum cleaner and said happily: "Then you are asking the right person, maybe the husband who told you also listened to me. That Flash, Mr. Zhu Xiaogang, is my daughter Jiang Feifei's classmate and good friend, He often comes to my house to play." "Can he really catch up with cars on foot, can he really practice Xiaolongnv's sky-sweeping net, can he wrap ninety-nine eighty-one sparrows in his arms?" "It's nothing special. My daughter saw it with her own eyes." She smiled, "You Japanese also read Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and you know Little Dragon Girl?"

The old Japanese asked closely: "Then, who is Mr. Zhu Xiaogang's master? He must be a master of martial arts with superb skills." "He doesn't have a master." Li Yueying said decisively, "Actually, two months ago, Xiao Gang was just an ordinary child, just like our Feifei, Ma Tian, ​​and Bai Yi. He is not as good as my Feifei in throwing 'Four Links'. I heard that he drank a bottle of Immortal Water, and his skills immediately improved. Hey, this Immortal Water is even more aura than the manggu vermilion clam and snow lotus vermilion fruit that Jin Yong said."

The Japanese old man repeatedly exclaimed: "It's amazing, it's incredible. Can I meet this amazing Flash?" "Of course. They all go to Wolong Middle School. Today is a school day, and school ends at four o'clock in the afternoon. If you want to meet, go at four o'clock." "Thank you very much." The Japanese old man said politely and bowed again and again.When Li Yueying went to clean the next room, the old man called his granddaughter and grandson-in-law over, closed the door, and discussed for a long time. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Gang and his classmates flew out of the school gate like sparrows.Today he rode a brand-new electric pedal bicycle, which he bought with the money given by Sister Yanzi.Sister Ling Yan has been discharged from the hospital, but she cannot get out of bed yet.Xiao Gang and Bai Yi visited several times, and each time they ran into Brother Cheng.Brother Cheng often used a wheelchair to push Sister Yanzi to the flower bed in the middle of the street, with his head down, talking endlessly.It seems that Bai Yi's guess is wrong, and the two of them may really become a family.Xiaogang and the others already knew that Brother Cheng was neither married nor had a date.

A Crown car was parked at the gate of the school. Two men and a woman stood beside the car, looking at this side eagerly.From the very first glance, Xiao Gang knew that these three people were foreigners, probably Japanese.Because although the Chinese and Japanese are similar in appearance, there are always some differences that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.Feifei shouted from behind: "Xiao Gang, wait for me!" The three people rushed over when they heard the shout, and the oldest among them asked in Chinese, "Excuse me, sir, is Mr. Zhu Xiaogang?"

His Chinese is pretty good, Xiaogang nodded: "Yes, my name is Zhu Xiaogang, you are Japanese guests." The Japanese old man was so excited that he clasped his fists and bowed: "Mr. Zhu Xiaogang, I finally found you. I was an obsessed student of Jin Yong 50 years ago. I also like martial arts. I was a judo master when I was young. I also I have always been fond of Chinese martial arts. I heard about your name not long ago, and I specially brought my granddaughter and grandson-in-law to visit my teacher. I hope that the hero will remember my sincerity and accept these two unworthy disciples."

Xiao Gang scratched his head, feeling proud and embarrassed at the same time.You see, if you are not careful, you will become an international celebrity, and there are foreigners who come from thousands of miles to seek advice.Of course, Xiaogang knew that he couldn't be a master, unless these Japanese people also drank Shenli No. 1.But Shenli No. 1 has not been produced yet, and even if it is produced, he has no right to give it to a foreigner to drink first.The Japanese old man saw his hesitation, turned around and shouted: "Idiots, why don't you come to pay respects to Master soon? Zhu Jun," he asked Xiaogang, "How do you say they should salute?"

The students behind him shouted: Of course it is according to Chinese etiquette, of course it is according to the etiquette of ancient rivers and lakes. The woman took a step forward and made a gesture to bow down.Xiaogang said in his heart that it was terrible, this international joke was too big, and hurriedly shouted: Don't! ... But the woman didn't bow down, and the man behind her stopped her.The man looked at Xiao Gang suspiciously, and gestured with dumb gestures.The woman turned her head and translated to Xiaogang in blunt Chinese: "My husband said that he wanted to show some superficial skills, and let Mr. Zhu Xiaogang see if he is qualified to be an apprentice. My husband also said that he has heard the reputation of a hero for a long time. Are you lucky enough to witness the exquisite kung fu of heroes?"

At this time, even the students behind him could tell that this Japanese man was not here to apprentice, but to call Xiaogang.The old man shouted angrily: "Don't be presumptuous!" But in fact he didn't really stop it.Ma Tian squeezed his way through the crowd and shouted: "Xiao Gang, show him your hands, and see how crazy he is! Let's go to the front garden!" Don't allow Xiaogang to say anything, the classmates have already hugged him happily to the riverside garden.Most of the students had heard of the legend about Xiao Gang, but not many had seen it with their own eyes. They were eager to open their eyes, so almost the whole class followed, cheering and hugging, it was really lively.On the lawn of the garden, the man stood on the open space one step ahead, squatting slightly on horseback, clasping his hands, his wife said to everyone: "My husband said, please go and wrestle him with as many people as you like." The Japanese old man didn't mention the matter of apprenticeship now, and just watched with a smile.A dozen or so boys rushed over with a cry, and surrounded the man, some hugging their heads, some hugging their waists, and some stretching their legs.But no matter how hard they tried, the man's feet seemed to be planted on the ground, motionless.After a stalemate for more than ten minutes, the man suddenly exerted strength, swung his body, and threw more than a dozen children to the ground. More than a dozen boys got up, panting, secretly admiring the Japanese devil.Xiao Gang has been watching calmly, he knows that this is not a great effort.These students have no wrestling experience, and their strength is scattered.Of course, you have to admit that this man does have a lot of talent.Ma Tian panted and said, "Xiao Gang, we have lost face for a while, so hurry up and use all your housekeeping skills." The Japanese old man looked at him with a smile, and the couple also crossed their arms and squinted, with a hint of complacency in their eyes.Xiao Gang said helplessly: "Okay, you are rushing ducks to the shelves——driving ducks to the shelves, do you understand?" The Japanese old man nodded again and again: "Understood, understood. We know this is the self-effacement of young heroes." "Okay, Feifei, is your stone still in your pocket?" "Yes." Feifei took out more than a dozen stones, but Xiaogang only picked up three, and said embarrassingly, "I really shouldn't make a fool of myself with my insignificant skills. You forced me to do so." He gathered himself together and put the stones away Throw it into the air, throw it left and catch it right, and persist for 3 seconds in a hurry before the stone falls to the ground. "I didn't play well today, hehe." The three Japanese and a dozen or so classmates looked at him suspiciously.The Japanese old man was silent for a while and said, "I heard that you are good at catching throwing knives?" Xiao Gang was startled: "Flying knife! That's impossible. Flying knife—how dangerous!" The middle-aged man was getting impatient and grinding his mouth, he yelled (he was a mute, no wonder the woman was always speaking for him), took out a short knife from his pocket and threw it at the face.Xiao Gang let out a cry of "Ah!" and was stunned. He watched the flying knife shoot towards his chest and then fell down again—it turned out that the shining flying knife had no edge or tip at all.Xiao Gang was so frightened that he sat on the grass and stared at the Japanese in horror.The mute picked up the flying knife with disdain, and the three Japanese looked at each other, without saying a word, sneered, got into the car and drove away. Ma Tian and the others were all blushing, and the classmates who had never seen Xiao Gang's skills stared at him suspiciously.When the Japanese car turned the corner, Martin and Feifei couldn't wait to attack: "Xiao Gang, what are you doing..." "Shame on the Chinese..." "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short time..." Xiao Gang suddenly laughed, got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and stretched out his hand to Fei Fei: "Bring it." Feifei thought to himself, could it be that Xiaogang lost his nerve after being stimulated? "Bring what?" "Stones." He took all the stones and counted, there were 12 in total. "Hey, I can see everything clearly!" Then the left hand moved slightly, one after another pebbles jumped into the air chasing each other, pulling out a steady, shining white line.There was no applause around - the students were really dumbfounded.He played for 3 minutes, and in the eyes of admiration and astonishment, he made a gesture very chicly.Immediately, fanatical applause erupted from the crowd, causing passers-by outside the iron fence to turn their eyes.Martin put a question mark on his forehead: "So you didn't perform abnormally today, why is that?" Xiaogang said simply: "I hate these three guys." "Why? I think they are all good people, especially the old man, who is kind-hearted, kind-hearted, and has a spirit of immortality..." "No, there is often a glint of light in the eyes of the three of them, especially the old guy. Of course, the glare is fleeting, and you can't notice it. But you know my reaction speed. For me, that The fleeting moment is like a freeze frame in a movie. Think about it, what is it like to look at the dark light in front of such a freeze frame! If I don’t send them away, I will eat all the leek buns at noon Vomited out!" The students all burst into laughter, and Peng Dingding asked, "So, you are deliberately pretending that you can't dodge the throwing knives, right?" "Ok." Peng Dingding said sincerely: "You are so brave." Xiao Gang shyly said: "How dare you be brave. I could see the flying knife clearly as soon as I shot it. It is a special knife. Although the cold light is dazzling, the actual knife head is round and has no edge at all. Moreover, the direction is To my chest and not to my eyes. Otherwise, I would never have risked it." "So, what is the purpose of these three Japanese?" Bai Yi asked. Xiao Gang honestly admitted: "I don't know, I don't know how to observe the mind, and I can't read other people's thinking-it seems that Jin Yong and Gu Long have never appeared in the works of observing the mind." The students laughed and surrounded Xiaogang and left the garden. The next day, when Li Yueying was cleaning, she saw that Mr. Asahara's luggage was ready.He was out of the house, and must have gone for his routine after-dinner walk.While tidying up the bathroom, I heard the sound of clogs coming back.Li Yueying asked enthusiastically through the door: "Hello, Mr. Asahara, are you leaving today? Are you going back to China? I wish you a smooth journey." No reply.Mr. Asahara outside had a cold face and ignored him.But Li Yueying in the bathroom didn't see this face, she was still chatting while working: "Did you see Xiaogang yesterday? Didn't you say that you want your granddaughter to learn art from a teacher?" Mr. Asahara couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Your words are very unreliable!" In his anger, he brought out the Japanese flavor, "Zhu Xiaogang has no martial arts at all, and he can't even dodge a small throwing knife! " Li Yueying poked her head out from the bathroom and said in amazement: "Xiaogang was stabbed by a flying knife? Didn't hear what Feifei said." Seeing Asahara's cold face, she felt insulted and retorted loudly: "You speak my words Unreliable? That’s what my daughter said. Maybe it’s a bit exaggerated——Feifei is a 13-year-old child, and it’s inevitable for a girl of this age to exaggerate. But it will never be exaggerated to the limit. I know! That night she was so excited that she couldn’t sleep for a long time, and she also said that Uncle Zhu—that is Xiao Gang’s father, a famous scientist—promised to let them all drink the fairy water. These words are absolutely true!” "But we saw Xiao Gang's performance with our own eyes..." "That's Xiaogang pretending to be stupid on purpose." Li Yueying said affirmatively, "This is real people who don't show their faces and play with the world. For example, Jigong Bodhisattva is wearing tattered clothes and boots, shaking a broken cattail fan. There is also the fire-burning monk in Shaolin Temple... this There are so many things. You Japanese don’t understand. How can I tell you to believe it? Yes, the orangutan!” She suddenly thought of a conclusive example, “Not only Xiao Gang has drunk the fairy water, but also an orangutan. It It’s called Dugu Daxia, and it was earlier than Xiaogang’s debut. My daughter said that she has seen Dugu Daxia hold flying arrows in her teeth and shoot down bullets with iron rods. Even if you discount the children’s words, the martial arts of this orangutan That’s amazing. By the way, that orangutan can understand human speech and speak dumb. If you don’t believe me, ask that dumb gentleman to try it—Japanese dumb is as different as Chinese dumb.” After hearing this passage, the old guy's attitude changed immediately, with a flattering smile on his face: "Really, that's amazing. Please forgive my rudeness just now. Because I admire Mr. Zhu Xiaogang too much, so look Seeing him... will inevitably be disappointing. Is this orangutan kept at Mr. Zhu Xiaogang's house?" "No, in his parents' institute. The institute is just below Wollongong, not far away." "Thank you very much, thank you very much." Mr. Asahara immediately rushed to the next door.When Li Yueying went to clean up, the three of them were still mumbling inside with the door closed.Soon, they packed their bags and left happily, saying that the tickets had been booked and they couldn't stop longer. "That miraculous orangutan, and Mr. Zhu Xiaogang, who has amazing skills, will only be visited next time when he visits China. Sayanara!" After they left in a hurry, Li Yueying felt somewhat regretful—did she talk a little too much today?However, she quickly put aside this idea, and continued to work, chat and joke with great interest.If someone told her that the true identities of these three Japanese guests were the leader and backbone of the cult organization Aum Shinrikyo, she would definitely regret it.No, even if you tell her, she won't believe it: there are still some people in this world whose only pleasure in living in this world is to be the ghost of death! Aum Shinrikyo believes that this world is sinful, and only abandoning the body and ascending to the kingdom of heaven is the only effective atonement.There are still many cults in the world that hold this view, but most of those people are satisfied with "convincing" their followers to commit suicide.Aum Shinrikyo believes that doing so is too selfish and inefficient.For decades, they have been deliberately looking for a quick and cheap way to die, so as to help the 5 billion ignorant people who have not believed in the oracle enter the kingdom of heaven as soon as possible. On March 20, 1995, the Aum Shinrikyo cult released sarin gas in the Tokyo subway, poisoning hundreds of people.This is just a small spray in the midst of their many efforts.They have sent believers to Australia to steal uranium ore to make nuclear bombs, to Zaire to steal Ebola virus (this is a vicious hemorrhagic fever with a 100% mortality rate), to the former Soviet Union to steal nuclear bombs, and to Iraq to steal anthrax bacteria, botulinum toxin, trichothecenes, VX preparations, tabun preparations and other biochemical preparations.For Aum Shinrikyo, these preparations are things of great merit.Botulinum toxin, for example, can kill 6 million people in just one spoonful.In this sense, the politicians who ordered the development of these biological and chemical weapons are really the most loyal non-believers of Aum. Those efforts were unsuccessful, though, and Asahara was arrested and spent half of his life in Japanese prisons.However, forty years in prison could not erode Mr. Asahara's faith and fighting spirit.He is 89 years old this year and was released on humanitarian grounds.Soon he heard about a teenage superman in Nanyang, China, and he immediately had new hopes. He escaped the surveillance of the police and entered China under a pseudonym.Now, after they left the "Waterside" hotel, they did not rush to the airport.They left their luggage at the train station and disappeared into the crowd.
