Chapter 20 Duties of the Captain
When you have not confirmed what connection there is between your parents and Zhang He, you must not question the injury at will. You can only go indirectly and find out what happened.
Zhou Fan calmly thought, and the supper was over soon.
After dinner, Zhou Fan, as usual, held a paper lantern with a small lamp talisman in his hand, said goodbye to his parents, and went to Lukui's house to learn martial arts.
Watching Zhou Fan walking further and further with the lantern, disappearing into the darkness, the sadness on Gui Feng's face standing in front of the door could no longer be hidden, she said to Zhou Yimu: "Will Afan's injury recur?"
"It shouldn't be." Zhou Yimu shook his head, "You see, the wounds are scarred. Afan is fine anymore. Dr. Zhang said that just in case."
"Why is my child so miserable? It's hard to heal easily? The life span of my hair is so low..." As he said that, Gui Feng's eyes turned red again.
Zhou Yin was silent and did not respond.
"Yi Mu, should we tell Afan about those two things? I mean Afan's injuries and..." Gui Feng thought about it and asked again.
Zhou Yimu's face changed slightly. He looked at his wife and said sternly: "No one of these two things is allowed to be mentioned, and the other thing is not to be mentioned for now. Just because of the injury, what do you think is the benefit of what you said? What if Afan is like what Dr. Zhang said..."
Thinking of the unacceptable consequence, Gui Feng trembled all over and said, "I won't say anything, I just feel uncomfortable hiding everything from Afan."
"I can't say that I feel bad, even if Afan has some doubts." Zhou Yimu's voice fell, "Afan's life is nineteen, and it is very likely that he will live in a few years, so let him be happier."

...
Zhou Fan went to Lukui's house and began to learn from Lukui.
"Afan, have you made any progress today?" Lu Kui took a sip of water and asked slowly.
Zhou Fan shook his head and concealed the fact that he had first stage of his strength as he had thought.
"It's not strange that there is no progress. As long as you study hard, I believe you will cross that threshold one day." Lu Kui put down the teacup and encouraged, "Will you practice the four awakening styles here tonight or continue to learn the last four styles of the twelve styles of the tiger shape tonight?"
"I want to memorize the last four stances first. As for practice, I can practice it myself during the day." Zhou Fan replied.
Lu Kui did not object, but handed Zhou Fan the copy of "Twelve Styles of Tiger" to him, "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me, and I will do my best to answer you."
Zhou Fan carefully read the content of the last four stylistics of "Twelve Tiger Shapes". If he didn't understand, he would ask Lu Kui. Most of these questions could be answered, but if he couldn't answer them, he also gave some of his own opinions for Zhou Fan's reference.
After all the work was cleared, Zhou Fan began to recite silently. Lu Kui did not disturb Zhou Fan, but stood up and went back to the room to chat with his wife and children.
After an hour, Zhou Fan had printed the last four poses in his mind, and Lu Kui also returned from the room to the hall.
"Thank you, Brother Lu." Zhou Fan returned the "Twelve Tiger Styles" to Lu Kui.
"You're welcome, but Afan, you learn things very quickly, even shorter than I expected, so you finished learning "Twelve Tiger Styles"." Lu Kui exclaimed, but he sighed again in his heart. Unfortunately, such a smart person has no talent, and it is probably difficult for him to cross the threshold of martial arts.
"Brother Lu, I have learned the "Twelve Tiger Styles". Then I will not come here from tomorrow night. If there are people who don't understand, I will come and ask for advice." Zhou Fan thought for a while and said.
What I agreed to do was Lu Kui teach him the patrol team's martial arts, which is "Twelve Tiger Styles". Now that I have learned it, I will just waste time when I come here again.
Lu Kui was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Okay, actually I have nothing to teach you, so remember to say to Brother Zhou."
Zhou Fan nodded and agreed, and said, "It's still early tonight, so I want to ask Brother Lu for some questions."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Lu Kui said with an interest.
Zhou Fan said: "I wonder if Brother Lu can tell me what the patrol team is doing now. I refer to the number of personnel in the patrol team, the work they usually have to do, etc."
Lu Kui didn't expect Zhou Fan to be interested in this. He touched his chin and said, "You will know this when you join the team, but if you want to know, I'll just briefly tell you."
Lu Kui explained in detail, and Zhou Fan listened carefully.
"That's probably what the situation is. If you have any questions, ask." After Lu Kui finished introducing, he picked up the teacup and drank it, moistened his throat and said.
"Brother Lu said before that as long as you cross the martial arts threshold, you will be the deputy captain. Both the captain and the deputy captain are treated generously. What responsibilities do you usually bear?" Zhou Fan asked a question he was concerned about.
The reason why Zhou Fan inquired about the patrol team was to ask about it in a turn. After all, he had his strength in the first stage. Once his strength was exposed, he would be a person at the level of the deputy captain, and he needed to know about it.
No matter in that era, treatment and obligations are generally corresponding, especially the patrol teams that assume the duty of defense, which should be like this.
Lu Kui was silent for a moment before saying slowly: "If you encounter a monster attack, both the deputy captains and I will bear most of the dangers. This is our responsibility."
Zhou Fan frowned and said, "Brother Lu, it's not a question of your character. What if the captain retreats?"
Regarding this question, Lu Kui chuckled and said, "Afan, not only does the village implement the joint seating method, but the patrol team is the same. The captain will be executed after retreating at the last minute, and his family will be driven out of the village. Exiting out of the village is equivalent to death. In addition, the captain will not retreat, and the entire team retreats, so that the captain will be killed, and the entire team will be killed."
Zhou Fan's face became serious. Such regulations completely tied up the entire patrol team. During the battle, no one could back down.
"Who will execute it?" Zhou Fan asked in a low voice.
"Of course, it's the village that comes to execute. There are village officials and two masters Fu in the village, so there is no problem in execution." Lu Kui said lightly.
Zhou Fan understood that although the patrol team was strong, the village had the strength to control the patrol team and was not afraid of the patrol team losing control.
"Are Munmasa and Master Fu very strong?" Zhou Fan asked tentatively.
