Jin Yong, Book 1 Chapter 5
Only a couple of thoughts:
Guo Jing proves to be courageous again, and finally his teachers are staying with him for good. I am happy for Li Ping to finally have someone to talk to, it must have been very lonely years….
Haha I liked the passage about a) true children of the south not having any free time to practice gongfu, and b) how rich people did not respect the jianghu‘s martial arts.
Time skip!
Oh and a mysterious visitor in the night, this cannot be good.
Oh! I had to laugh at Qiu Chuji‘s honeyed words in the letter (so funny that it‘s the same in German, English and Chinese 口蜜,though in German the idiom goes literally “to smear honey around someone‘s mouth”)
Ah and we finally learn what Guo Jing is good at! He liked Jebe from the start, no wonder he took to archery.
Ah Guo Jing is such a good child. I want to pet his head and tell him he‘s a good boy.
And another stranger appears. My my Guo Jing‘s life is about to get busy methinks.
The new teacher is probably from Qiu Chuji‘s sect (he already sent someone to check on him earlier)? It‘s good to see Guo Jing get some help. Next time, he‘ll be ready for the duel.
