In the following days, Gong Shaoqing insisted on practicing martial arts every day. Even the Gong family disciples were motivated.
It was supposed to be a break for the new year, but after what he did, the disciples could only practice martial arts with bitter faces.
As the year 1927 entered, the Japanese became more and more presumptuous, and their actions in the dark became more and more obvious.
At the same time, Marshal Zhang was increasingly unable to tolerate the Japanese. As a result, there were many conflicts and it stirred up a wave of anti-Japanese sentiment among the people.
The Japanese gnashed their teeth in hatred and secretly began to target Old Zhang, preparing to kill him.
This was also the beginning of Huanggutun's explosion a year later.
In addition to reading and practicing martial arts every day, Gong Shaoqing paid attention to the situation in Fengtian City from time to time.
From the newspapers, he knew that the situation in the northeast and even the whole country was not optimistic.
He could only sigh.
It wasn't that he didn't want to do anything, but he was too small to do anything about such a big matter.
After the early spring, the weather slowly warmed up.
Gong Shaoqing's life was not bad. With the addition of the training clothes, and his own talent and hard work, his kung fu had improved a lot.
The old master was also busier. Most of the time, it was difficult for him to go home.
Gong Ruomei began to take charge of the family's affairs, helping the old master to control and supervise Gong Shaoqing's studies.
In fact, she was very satisfied with her nephew. Why did she need to be urged?
It was only because the old master didn't want Gong Shaoqing to forget to run around the military camp, so only the Yan family could watch over him.
On this day, someone came begging.
"Young lady, back then, the old master took in an outer sect disciple. He said that he had an important matter to ask for an audience, and he hoped that he could help save their village.”
Old Jiang hurried to the backyard to report to Gong Ruomei.
"But my father went to the south. I'm afraid he won't be able to help.”Guo Ruomei frowned.
"When he came, he didn't know that Master had already gone south, and he seemed to be in a hurry." Old Jiang smiled bitterly.”
"Why don't I ask Young Master to go out and meet him?"”
After all, Gong Ruomei was a woman, so she still needed Gong Shaoqing to come forward to meet guests.
"Okay, go and call him. I'll listen to what's going on.”
"Alright!"
Old Jiang agreed and went to invite people.
"What is it?" Gong Shaoqing was practicing calligraphy in his room. Seeing Old Jiang's anxious look, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Oh, a disciple of the old master came to ask the old master to help solve the problem in their village.”
"However, Master has already gone south, so you can only come forward to receive him and see if you can help him deal with it.”
Gong Shaoqing nodded. As the eldest grandson of the Gong family, he had to come forward.
"Young master, do you want to change into a set of decent clothes?”Old Jiang looked at Gong Shaoqing's training clothes and couldn't help but remind him.
"Oh, you go to the main hall first. I'll come over after changing my clothes.”Gong Shaoqing looked at his training clothes and couldn't help shaking his head.
He was already used to wearing training clothes. Even when he went to school, he only wore a coat.
When he arrived at the main hall, he saw a middle-aged man wearing coarse linen clothes waiting anxiously.
Gong Shaoqing sat down at the head of the table.
The seat beside him was Gong Ruomei, but she wouldn't speak before he spoke. This was the rule.
"This is the eldest grandson of the Gong family, Gong Shaoqing!”Old Jiang introduced.
"Hello, Little Master!" An honest fisherman called out carefully.
"Please sit!"
Gong Shaoqing smiled and said,"Tell me what it is. If my Gong family can help, I won't refuse.”
The fisherman didn't sit down. Instead, he said anxiously,""May I ask Young Master if you can contact Master Gong? Only he can help our water village tide over this crisis.”
"This time, the water village has suffered a great disaster. More than ten people have died and almost the entire village is in mourning.”
Then, he explained the reason.
It turned out that this was the place called Water Village. Water monkeys had slaughtered the village.
The reason had to start from ten years ago.
Ten years ago, a water monkey suddenly appeared in the water system of the lake beside the water village. It would occasionally kill the villagers who were fishing.
Recently, the water monkey appeared again. In order to appease the water monkey, the village elders chose people to sacrifice in hopes that the water monkey would not harm the village.
However, the family that was chosen to sacrifice was unwilling to sacrifice their daughter to the water monkey. They even used explosives to kill the water monkey.
Hence, the water monkey took revenge and ate its head.
Then, a young man from the village organized people to set up traps and iron cages to capture the water monkey.
However, after the water monkey was captured, the village elders stopped everyone from burning the water monkey to death.
When the villagers had a celebration party and were all drunk, this beast escaped from the cage and slaughtered most of the villagers.
Because he was afraid that the water monkey would continue to kill people, Shui Gen thought of asking the Gong family for help.
He hoped that Old Master Gong would step in and solve the problem in the village.
When Gong Shaoqing heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Water monkey, does this thing really exist?
Wasn't this just a rumor?
Gong Ruomei also frowned." Is someone targeting your village and secretly impersonating the water monkey to massacre the village?"”
"Miss, I can confirm that it was a water monkey. At that time, the young man in the village was aquatic and caught it and locked it in an iron cage.”
"I've seen this monster with my own eyes.”
Gong Shaoqing felt a bit familiar when he heard this. This plot seemed to be very similar to a big online movie he had seen in his previous life.
At this moment, the mysterious detector sounded.
"Beep beep, special creature detected, water monkey! It's hidden in the river of the water village."
Then, the system also prompted,[The host can trigger a special check-in by stepping on the water monkey's head and obtain a high-quality reward!]”
