Famous felt that the name sounded familiar, as if it had heard it somewhere before. But since it had nothing to do, it might as well practice with Old Time Tea.
In the next few days, their days were very fulfilling. When Old Time Tea practiced boxing, Famous was basking in the sun on the roof, relaying Old Time Tea's experiences. When Famous was practicing its legs, Old Time Tea was giving pointers. If there was a problem, the cat and the dog would discuss it together.
When Famous carried Old Time Tea down the mountain, Old Time Tea noticed that Famous's waist and legs were very strong, so it wanted to teach Famous these three leg techniques. However, at that time, it wasn't clear about Famous's character, so it observed it for a long time before making the decision.
As the saying goes, the hands are two doors. If you rely on your legs to beat people, practicing your fists without practicing your legs is like drinking water without roots. The intention is to emphasize the importance of leg skills. The strength is in the legs, and the body movement is like a dragon. It doesn't mean that kicking people with your legs is of a higher level than punching people with your fists. It just so happens that some famous martial arts experts emphasize that you shouldn't easily kick.
Kicking was often accompanied by risks, especially high whip kicks and side kicks. If you didn't cause a serious injury to the enemy, it was easy for the enemy to take advantage of your unstable center of gravity to counterattack.
Humans had two legs, while dogs had four. The problem of unstable center of gravity had little impact on dogs, and they had much better balance than humans. In addition, Famous's legs were strong, and it could jump more than ten feet. Old Time Tea was very optimistic about Famous's achievements in leg techniques.
Famous had just started learning martial arts, but because it happened to be something suitable for it to learn, and there were only three moves, it was more suitable for refinement. Therefore, it made rapid progress. Within a few days, with these three moves, it could even fight with Old Time Tea. Of course, just like Cheng Yaojin's three axes, after three moves, Famous was at a loss.
Real martial arts was never about routines and performances, but actual combat. Ever since Famous and Old Time Tea started to learn from each other, they had made faster progress. Not only did they have more experience in their own martial arts, but they also had a deeper understanding of each other's martial arts.
Every day, after sunrise and before sunset, Famous and Old Time Tea would always practice in the open space. If it was windy or rainy, they would stay in the ancestral hall to learn from each other.
Famous could feel that its strength was increasing, but it didn't know to what extent.
…
That day, the weather was good. It was probably the warmest day before the arrival of winter. Famous was still lying on the roof, basking in the sun, while Old Time Tea was practicing martial arts in the open space. Famous had already told Old Time Tea everything it had learned and was looking around in boredom.
"Old Time Tea! Someone has entered the mountain! "he shouted down.
Old Time Tea was unmoved. It continued to practice its moves calmly and asked casually, "Are you here to deliver food?"
Every day at noon, the Wu family would send someone to deliver lunch to the mountain. If the weather was bad, it might be a little later, but it had never been interrupted.
"No. Usually, only one person comes to deliver food. Today, a group of people came!" Famous nervously watched the visitors from outside the mountain in the distance. It seemed that they were coming for the ancestral hall.
As the saying goes, a horse will run itself to death. The mountain road was rugged, with many twists and turns. Although he had already seen the group of people, he still had to wait for a long time for them to arrive.
"Oh?" Old Time Tea was also suspicious. It stopped what it was doing and jumped onto the roof.
The sun was too strong that day. Cats had poor eyesight during the day, and their pupils constricted. Even though Old Time Tea felt that there seemed to be some changes in its body recently and its eyesight had improved, it could still only see some blurry figures.
Who could it be?
To be on the safe side, they temporarily left the ancestral hall and retreated to the edge of the forest to wait patiently. If the other party was up to no good, it was at least easier to escape from here.
When the people got closer, Famous was the first to notice the woman they had saved, Wu Ning. She was riding a big horse. Although it was night and Famous couldn't remember her face clearly, the smell was unmistakable. It could also smell gun oil. Someone in the group probably had a gun, but it wasn't sure if it was for self-defense or hunting.
The people stopped at the entrance of the ancestral hall. There were six of them, including Wu Ning. A person who looked like a servant first knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, there was no response. After asking for Wu Ning's permission, he reached out and opened the door. He walked around the ancestral hall, then came out and shook his head at Wu Ning, indicating that it was empty.
"Old Time Tea, those people seem to be looking for us. Wu Ning is there too." Famous knew that Old Time Tea's eyesight wasn't very good during the day, so it discussed, "Should we go and take a look?"
The two of them discussed for a while and agreed that the other party didn't have any bad intentions. Otherwise, it would be more direct to poison their food.
So, Famous and Old Time Tea ran towards those people one after the other.
After the incident that night, Wu Ning had been locked up at home for many days. Her parents were afraid that she would be in danger and that the thieves had accomplices. They didn't let her go until they confirmed that the thieves had no accomplices. However, she had to be accompanied by bodyguards and maids. As for the two thieves who were captured, they quietly disappeared from the world …
Wu Ning had wanted to come and thank Old Time Tea and Famous personally. If it weren't for them, the consequences would have been unimaginable. After recuperating at home for a few days, her foot injury had gotten better.
Because it was close to Xiangjiang, it was easy for her to come into contact with new things. Her father, Wu Mancheng, was an open-minded country gentleman. He sent Wu Ning to a private school to study since she was a child and didn't bind her feet. Her physical strength was better than most girls her age. If it weren't for that, she would have been caught by the thieves that night.
When she heard the servant report that the cat and dog weren't in the ancestral hall, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. The scene of Old Time Tea and Famous fighting the group of thieves left a deep impression on her. She became even more interested in their owner. What kind of person could train such a psychic cat and dog?
The servant in charge of delivering meals also reported that when he entered the mountain to deliver meals, he would occasionally see the cat and dog fighting from afar. At first, he thought it was a fight, but when he took a closer look, he found that their movements were mysterious and unpredictable, like extremely advanced martial arts skills!
Although Wu Ning's mother opposed entering the mountain this time, her father's attitude was more positive. He agreed that she should come and thank them personally. Maybe she could also get to know the mysterious person behind the cat and dog …
It wasn't easy to enter the mountain, but since the cat and dog weren't there, she couldn't keep waiting. She ordered the servants to put more food on the table than usual and was about to return home.
"Miss! There's a cat and a dog over there. Is that them? "The maid Zhu Er had sharp eyes and raised her hand to point to the edge of the jungle.
Wu Ning was surprised and jumped off the horse. Instead of using the traditional salute, she used the new Western etiquette to bow and said, "I'm Wu Ning. Nice to meet you two benefactors!"
