- smart enough to recognize that the medicine he was given was a way larger amount than it should be but stupid enough that he went "this doctor knows so much about me/jianghu fighters, clearly he's a very knowledgeable doctor"

whatever this is

followed by smokey bear going "you shouldn't play with fyre in here, the herbs will catch"

super strength!

but what if fyre wants to play...

goodbye fyre

i like that he got smashed in the head with a hundred pound weight and went "this scale is clearly wrong, how dare you lie about that"

"you and your bro just tried to kill me but i still need to ask if this medicine is legit"

i like the guy going "thank you for sparing our lives by not using your sword" and his reply is "actually i forgot how to use my sword"

gets a ransom note about his kidnapped brother and goes "i have a brother?"

the little extra where he's like "oh i see, little brothers are there to be cared for"

wenshan: so how do i get to hulang mountain
poisoner: i don't know but that place is extremely dangerous and the ransom letter is probably a trap
wenshan: guess i'll have to ask someone else for directions then

who needs common sense when you're all powerful

the guys who just tried to kill him asked about fees for repairing their shop and he gave this speech about how his sword is super nice quality and always by his side (probably) so he can't give it away...so here, have an iou

which also implies he didn't have money for the medicine in the first place

he's just doing things

i still love the random note that he used to hate cilantro but now he's eating it just fine and that's a clear sign that he has amnesia

didi doing a cool move to impale a fly and he not only doesn't react at all, he also stares at the fly and then goes "that was my meat dish"

the neighbor guy getting angry about the fly dropping in his soup and wenshan steps up like "he wasn't trying to insult you, that was just my meat dish"

also he can smell scentless poison...truly dog senses

"there is poison in your food, therefore this guy dropping a fly in your food was actually an attempt to rescue you"

also getting offended that he got headbutted when he's already mentally unwell

world's hardest head

followed by smashing the guy's head in with a chopstick holder and going "oops i think i hit too hard"...

i like the author's note saying he can't recognize faces and has previously lost his brother before (so he can recognize by clothes/smell?)

rip bro you smell like some other kid

imagine him in an rp mistaking people for each other because they smell the same/have the same hair color

i still love his offended face

ouyang: fixes a guy and then sparkles for praise
wenshan: "very professional, bye"

ouyang trying so hard to awkwardly explain that he's a pro with mental illnesses and there's this long pause and he's like "oh right, i have amnesia"

forgot...

forgot because he was too focused on finding his brother.....

canonically described as having a one-track mind

i still love him going "my name is chu wensan (probably)" and ouyang being like I WANT TO CORRECT HIM SO BAD

ouyang: how about i help cure your amnesia
wenshan: no thanks
ouyang: ....free of charge
wenshan: tell me more

he ate food, probably got poisoned by the fake shopkeep, had a qi deviation or something, tripped and fell and got amnesia...

i also like the extra where he's like "i have no money for medical attention or food, but while it's okay not to treat an illness, you can't go without food, so I've been writing down everything i owe at these restaurants"

a comment described him as being like an auntie at the supermarket, ignoring sales ads until someone says "free"

"he's been staring at the ground for a long time, did he remember something" and then what he's thinking is "now that i think about it, i haven't eaten much since i lost my memory"

so many thoughts

thoughts such as "I'm kinda hungry" and "I'm still poor" and "my brother's been kidnapped"

"i can deal with my amnesia at any time, but brother-saving is on a time limit!" and so he tries to reject the free doctor

"it's too much trouble (for you)" please voice your parentheses

gets the teacup snatched from his hand and he goes "oh do you normally have two cups"

got splashed in the eyes with ink and didn't react at all...

gets told that ouyang can handle it on his own so he actually sits down and says "okay"

"I'm a proper martial artist so if he says he can handle it i should respect his wishes" truly a gentleman

one-word praise

i like him very calmly going "is this also an effect of your poison" as the guy he's pointing at starts actively dying

"ou-xiong wanted to ask him questions" proceeds to shoot an explosive amount of power into him

power

"i found a bunch of guys looking really cozy in a water vat outside, are you sure we should bother them" sir these are victims

"how did you know you could save him with your internal energy" "i didn't, i just thought I'd give it a try and see what happens" and this is how he kills someone in an rp

oh he noticed ouyang's poison but didn't notice the tea was poisoned, or the guy's mask...strange

the fact he insists on "ou-xiong" when the correct name would be "ouyang-xiong"

ouyang doing this long internal monologue while wenshan stands in the background like

"I've decided to accept your treatment because you insisted so much but also wouldn't it be funny if i didn't recognize my brother when he's standing right in front of me" he says with no sign of laughing while standing right in front of his brother

he's so hard that acupuncture needles bend on his skin...

even his skull...

of course his skull

amnesia chu wenshan still unconsciously keeps up a shield of internal energy...is that the best way to translate it...

ouyang gives this cool smart guy speech about why they should head to shuiyun to check out this info place and then wenshan is like "okay let's go" and immediately gets going

ouyang trying so hard

i'm still not used to reading simplified chinese...

are you used to traditional...

yeah coz i learned traditional chinese up until i was in like... 2nd year hs i think

i also didn't use pinyin until then but pinyin was easy enough to adjust to

i didn't learn traditional chinese until like three years ago when i realized all the simplified chinese stuff was censored...

please teach me the traditional version of pinyin

it works the same!! just more squiggly

yeah but i can't read it!!

i believe in you

also ngl i was trying to remember what is was called all "what was bpmf again" and apparently it is really just bpmf (bopomofo)

how nostalgic

i am today years old when i realized it's coz we studied under a taiwanese system...

yes...

chu wenshan dramatically going "i have no idea who i am or where I'm going, but i feel like i can hear my kidnapped brother calling for me......" and then he opens his eyes and ouyang is standing right in front of him going "chu-xiong what the heck are you doing"

plowing in place of the cow he ate

"doing a misdeed and simply walking away from it is something only demonic sects would do" he says to the owner of a demonic sect

eats with full force while supposedly listening... probably listening? i like that he used his super speed to stop ouyang from paying so he could write an iou

coming back here, i like that he insists he can't rely on charity from someone who is neither friend nor family and says he'll pay it back extra when he can, no matter what that requires

completely failing to notice ouyang blushing

using his super hearing to hear what everyone in the vicinity is saying...

i also like him saying "hey i'm heading out" but not stopping to make sure ouyang actually heard him

"super hearing is easy, just turn off your other four senses and focus all your energy at your ears"

this is just that meme of "signs can't stop me, i can't read"

"ou-xiong said i need to learn how to talk to people, therefore i'm going to explain everything properly" followed by "hello everyone, my brother's been kidnapped" and then immediately getting a case of mistaken identity because they kidnapped someone else's brother

beats them all up and then wonders if he said the wrong thing again

i still appreciate that he always takes people's words at face value

i also appreciate him constantly wondering if this one guy's arm is okay because he has it wrapped up in bandages and is fighting with it and chu wenshan is incapable of considering that maybe it isn't an injury

stepping in to help people in need even after ouyang told him not to...still worrying about this guy's bandaged arms...getting inordinately angry over kidnapping

through force alone

they didn't take the bandages back...

"i told you where i was going but you were lost in thought so maybe you didn't hear me" if you knew that why did you leave anyway

he believes in fortune telling...of course he does

so many words...he understands travel logistics

apologizing for inadvertently getting ouyang to bring up a dead(?) family...

he's polite

he got all nervous about meeting his brother...he's very honest

i like how he keeps insisting on going alone because it's dangerous

why is he like this

ripped the kid's hat, too...and then was like "let that be a lesson to you, you should stop kidnapping people from now on"

so he can block certain attacks with his internal energy alone but struck out because he sensed that jue ming's attack was strong enough to break through that shield... also a 16-year-old looks like a baby to him

moves mentioned by jue ming: left push kick, right roundhouse kick, left jab (so he never used weapons against him...)

jue ming: that doctor's super fishy, no wandering physician would dress so expensively, you should make sure not to fall for any traps
wenshan: ....he must be a very lucrative doctor

lost sight of jue ming because he was thinking about ou-xiong...

i still love that three different people in this comic have posters (and figurines and poseable action figures) of him

the fact he climbed up the mountain to meet the people who kidnapped his brother and is just casually walking in like "is there anybody here who can tell me where my brother is"

being able to tell that it was a fake ou-xiong just based on instinct

he took jue ming's spear (half) right out of his hand and knocked the enemies away so hard he broke their metal weapons...

knows enough not to knock out someone he needs answers out of (and can stop his fist inches away from the guy's face but does that part really need noting)

thinks shurikens are hair accessories...

threw himself off a cliff without a second thought to grab bro's pendant....

i still love the extra where he drags ou-xiong to a "couples eat free" event

he ate 19 bowls of noodles

what did he do to ou-xiong...

ouyang: OH NO HE FELL OFF THE CLIFF
wenshan: don't worry i caught the thing i jumped off the cliff for
ouyang: that wasn't...what i was worried about...

i still love that many chapters later he's like "wait he looked too smart in that flashback"

this followed by "i forgot to remind you i ate an entire cow"

coming back here, i like the little bonus comic where he tells the kid "you don't need to carry huge amounts of money as weight training, just carry a cow instead, one of those is around three or five hundred pounds" and then the kid commissions a cow made of gold to do weight training with

green guy explaining chu wenshan's name as the wen from "scholar" and the shan from "qingshan" being the outfit scholars wore...an educated ruffian

"what are you here to learn" "how to talk" "okay try praising your friend"

immediately reaches out to touch ouyang duyu's hair with no regard for personal space

"ou-xiong's hair is straight and white, just like wheat flour noodles"

i like the teacher going "rotten wood cannot be carved..."

just immediately giving him up as a lost cause

gets asked why he wants to learn to talk and immediately honestly explains how his brother's been kidnapped and his bad conversation skills have only caused trouble that served to delay his search (was it really a problem with his conversation skills though...)

"there's clearly only one proper way to solve problems (education and verbal persuasion)" "yes, i always use that one method to resolve problems (beating them up)"
