Chapter 170: I Ask My Way
On the morning of July 14, when Wu Li and his party came to Wu Street again, they saw a busy scene.
There are trucks parked on the side of the street, and the students of several martial arts halls are helping to move things.
Wu Li was surprised to see this, and stopped a student, "What are you doing here?"
Wang Xuan, who was on the side, translated Wu Li's words to the other party, and the other party also recognized Wu Li and said with a depressed expression.
"He said that the owner of the gym was going to sell the martial arts hall and that they were helping to move things. Wang Xuan said to Wu Li.
Wu Li was taken aback, why did he suddenly decide to sell the martial arts hall?
He took a few more steps forward and found that there was not just one, but several martial arts halls that were moving things.
Wu Li walked quickly to the front of the Jiyun Pavilion, there were no trucks outside the gate of the Jiyun Pavilion, and no one was moving things outside, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Wu Li walked into the hall and saw the owners of the seven martial arts halls he had interviewed that day, and the seven of them stood beside Zhang Shicai with a guilty face.
Seeing Wu Li coming in, Huang Wei beside Zhang Shicai greeted him.
"What's going on?" Wu Li asked.
Huang Wei looked angry: "Yesterday, the families of the seven hall owners were threatened and intimidated, and some were even injured. ”
Wu Li's face sank: "What did the Killing Boxing Gym do?"
Huang Wei gritted his teeth: "It must have been Hu Shan who instructed the people of the Black Moon Gang to do it." ”
Wu Li looked at the seven pavilion masters over there: "So they decided to sell the martial arts hall today?"
Huang Wei sighed: "There is news over there, if you sell the martial arts hall today, the price will be two percent higher than what was discussed before, and after today, it will not be this price, and several hall owners have no choice but to choose to sell." ”
Wu Li was silent, although he felt angry, but he couldn't blame these people, life was not easy, and he shouldn't be harsh on the weak.
"What did your master say?" Wu Li asked.
Huang Wei shook his head: "Master is also hesitating, he is worried about Xiao Yun'er's safety." ”
Over there, after the seven hall masters and Zhang Shicai finished speaking, they all walked towards this side, and when they saw Wu Li, they all clasped their fists and saluted, but they didn't say a word, and left in shame.
Before Wu Li helped the martial arts hall on Wujie to come out, he repelled the people who killed the boxing gym several times, if it weren't for Wu Li, the signboards of these martial arts halls would have been kicked out long ago.
But now everyone still decided to sell the martial arts hall, which was considered to have disappointed Wu Li's intentions, so after seeing him, they could only salute with their fists in shame and leave.
Wu Li watched everyone walk out of the Jiyun Pavilion, he turned around and came to Zhang Shicai's side: "Master Zhang, it's better to let the students not come in the next few days, you take Xiao Yun'er to the hotel with us, and I'll try to see if I can solve this matter." ”
"Brother Wu, do you have a way?" Huang Wei's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise.
Wu Li: "I'm not sure, but I always have to try to know, for the sake of safety, Master Zhang, you take Xiao Yun'er to live in the hotel with us these days, there are plainclothes police near the hotel to protect us 24 hours a day." ”
Zhang Shicai hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Then it's troublesome for you." ”
Wu Li smiled: "You're welcome." ”
Then he looked at Xiao Yun'er on the side: "Xiao Yun'er, my brother has been playing with you these days, okay?"
"Okay!" Xiao Yun'er threw herself into Wu Li's arms.
......
took Zhang Shicai and Xiao Yun'er back to the hotel, settled the two of them, and Wu Li found Chen Gang.
"You want to help them with this through the embassy?"
Without waiting for Wu Li to speak, Chen Gang asked directly.
Wu Li nodded: "What do you think?"
Chen Gang shook his head: "I think it's difficult, it's not that our embassy doesn't want to take care of it, but this kind of thing can't be managed; even if the embassy wants to help Zhang Shicai and them, it can only be coordinated through the local department in Yuhe City; we can't stay in Yuhe City for long, so the Yuhe City police are willing to send people to protect us 24 hours a day, but Zhang Shicai and they have to stay here all the time, can the police still send people to protect them?"
"......" Wu Li was silent, he didn't actually think of this, he just didn't want to think like this.
"Moreover, even if Hu Shan's gang is restrained for a while because of the pressure from the police and other departments, they can only manage it for a while, who can guarantee that Zhang Shicai and Xiao Yun'er will never have accidents in the future?" Chen Gang continued.
He patted Wu Li on the shoulder: "I understand your feelings, I also want to help them, but that's the way it is, there are many things we can't do,"
Wu Li closed his eyes and nodded after a while, "Got it." ”
After speaking, he exited Chen Gang's room, thought for a while, came to Zhang Shicai's room, and knocked lightly on the door.
After a while, Zhang Shicai opened the door and invited him in.
Xiao Yun'er fell asleep on the bed, and Zhang Shicai said softly: "How is it?"
Wu Li shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't help this matter." ”
Zhang Shicai was silent and looked at Xiao Yun'er who was sleeping on the side, with a desolate look on his face.
"It's okay, if something like this happens, what can I do?"
His voice was very soft and soft, as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping Xiao Yun'er, and it seemed that he was pressed by this world and didn't have much strength to speak.
Wu Li looked at the old man in front of him, eight years ago, the old man's son died, he struggled, and then gave up; eight years later, the martial arts hall passed down by his father was about to be forcibly acquired, and he also struggled, and now it seems that he can only give up.
"Senior, I can sponsor you to open a museum elsewhere, or, if you don't dislike it, you can go back to Huaguo and become a coach in my martial arts hall, your accommodation, and Xiao Yun'er's schooling, I can help solve it. Wu Li looked at Zhang Shicai and said sincerely.
Zhang Shicai was silent for a moment, and solemnly clenched his fists to Wu Li: "Thank you, I'll think about it again." ”
"Okay, feel free to find me when you think about it. ”
Wu Li left the room, Zhang Shicai sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his sleeping granddaughter, with grief, struggle, and reluctance in his eyes......
On July 15th, today is Xiao Yun'er's 9th birthday, and Wu Li promised to accompany her for her birthday.
That night, the program team specially found a restaurant for Xiao Yun'er's birthday, Wu Li bought a cake, and everyone in the program team prepared gifts for Xiao Yun'er.
"What is Brother Wu Li's gift?" Xiao Yun'er, who was smiling brightly, looked up at Wu Li.
Wu Li walked over with his hands behind his back, and then took out something from behind him and handed it to Xiao Yun'er, "Look, do you like it?"
What he is holding in his hand is a toy model: Sun Wukong steps on a somersault cloud, holds a golden hoop stick in one hand, and points to the sky in the other.
"Wow, Monkey King!" Xiao Yun'er took the model in surprise.
In the past few days, listening to Wu Li tell her the story of Journey to the West every day, she has long fallen in love with this monkey who fights the heavens and the earth.
After Wu Li promised to celebrate Xiao Yun'er's birthday a few days ago, he placed an order from the Internet, and let people send this model from China as quickly as possible.
"Thank you, Brother Wu Li, I like this gift so much!" Xiao Yun'er hugged Wu Li and said loudly.
"Haha, if you like it. ”
In the laughter, everyone sang a birthday song to Xiao Yun'er, then blew out candles and ate cakes......
"I thought about it, sell the martial arts hall, and take Xiao Yun'er to Huaguo. Zhang Shicai suddenly walked up to Wu Li and said to Wu Li.
There was a bloodshot in his eyes, maybe he had thought about it all night.
Wu Li looked surprised: "Really? That's great! Don't worry, just come, I'll arrange the rest." ”
"Then I'm sorry for you, thank you very much!"
As he spoke, Zhang Shicai was about to bend down and bow to Wu Li, but was supported by Wu Li.
"Seniors, don't be like this, my martial arts hall is the time to employ people, and my seniors can come to my martial arts hall, which actually helps me. ”
While he was talking, Zhang Shicai's mobile phone rang, and when he saw that it was Huang Wei calling, he connected.
"Master, the martial arts hall is on fire!" Huang Wei's voice was loud, and Wu Li also heard it.
"What did you say?" Zhang Shicai was taken aback.
"Our martial arts hall is on fire, come and take a look!"
......
Twenty minutes later, everyone rushed to Wu Street, and the Jiyun Pavilion was burning with fire.
Hu Shan's deadline for Ruan Xing is three days, and tomorrow is the last day, but in the past two days, Zhang Shicai and Xiao Yun'er have been staying with Wu Li and others, and he can't find a chance to start at all, so he can only let people set fire to Jiyun Pavilion, and force Zhang Shicai to compromise in this way.
Thirty minutes later, fire trucks arrived and began to extinguish the fire.
More than 40 minutes later, the fire was completely extinguished, and the gate of Jiyun Pavilion was scorched black, and most of the venue inside was also burned, but fortunately, the fire did not spread to the residence in the backyard.
"The preliminary judgment is that it may be arson. The firefighters at the scene said to the crowd.
"Bastard! Hu Shan must have asked someone to do it!" Huang Wei scolded angrily.
"Wow!" Xiao Yun'er looked at the blackened martial arts hall, which was the home she had lived in for many years, and she couldn't help crying.
Zhang Shicai looked at the signboard that originally had the words 'Jiyun Pavilion' written on it, but now it has been burned to the black, and he can't see anything clearly.
"Look at these three words, you have to pass on this martial arts hall!"
He still remembers that his father was standing outside the door, pointing to the sign on the gate and saying to him.
He chose to compromise and endure again and again, but life still seemed to refuse to let him go, and wanted to slap him in the face again and again.
He had obviously decided to sell the martial arts gym and had decided to bow to life, why? Why did such a thing fall on him?
"Poof!" Zhang Shicai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.
"Senpai!"
"Master!"
"Grandpa!"
......
A group of people stood outside the emergency room, anxiously waiting.
Wu Li looked at the door of the emergency room, stunned.
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Shicai was out of danger, but he had not woken up yet.
"The patient is old, you should calm his mood as much as possible, and don't let his mood fluctuate violently, otherwise it will be very dangerous. The doctor said to the crowd.
How can Zhang Shicai's mood be calmed down? No one can answer.
The doctor left, and there was silence in the hallway.
"I just received a call that someone from the police station went to turn himself in, saying that he had set fire to Jiyun Pavilion. Chen Gang walked up to Wu Li and said softly.
"Huh. Wu Li laughed.
"I have contacted the embassy and they are also in contact with the relevant departments in Yuhe City. Chen Gang continued,
Wu Li's eyes were very cold, and he looked at him: "What about it? Can Xiao Yun'er's father come back to life? Can it make Zhang Shicai feel calm?"
"Wu Li......" Chen Gang wanted to speak and stopped.
Wu Li shook his head: "I'll take Xiao Yun'er back first." ”
got up and walked to the bench on the side, and gently picked up Xiao Yun'er, who had fallen asleep after crying.
Xiao Yun'er's eyes were red and swollen, and she frowned in her sleep.
Wu Li carried her back to the hotel in the car, opened Zhang Shicai's room, carried her in, and gently put her on the bed.
Suddenly, Wu Li's hand touched a hard object on the bed, he picked it up and took a look, and found that it was a birthday gift he gave to Xiao Yun'er, the model of the Monkey King.
Through the faint moonlight outside the window, Wu Li looked at the model in his hand.
The Great Sage pointed to the sky and glared angrily, probably about to go to the sky to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
"I've been practicing martial arts for many years, isn't it just so that I can shoot without thinking about it when it's time to make a move?"
This is what Wu Li said to his two roommates after he took down the gangsters who bullied students outside the school gate of Beichuan University.
"One day, when I encounter oppression or injustice, I don't have to pretend not to see, I don't have to choose to endure or kneel, but I can take one more step forward, just one step!"
This is what Wu Li said to Chen Ling in the police station after being slashed with a knife.
"I practice martial arts just so that in some cases, I can take one more step forward, just one step. ”
This is what Wu Li said to Zhao Kai at the wine table, and that night, in the face of two gunmen, he did not hesitate to follow.
Wu Li looked at the Monkey King in his hand and suddenly laughed.
He remembered a passage from the story of Monkey King told to Xiao Yun'er in the past two days:
"What is the Great Sage going to do?"
"Crush the sky. ”
"If you don't go back?"
"And never go back!"
......
Wu Li only felt that his heart was crystal clear at the moment, and he had never understood his mind so clearly as he did at this moment: My fist is just for that extra step!
Even if one step forward is a cliff, it is nine deaths, and he does not regret it.
That's his fist, his will!
"It turns out that if you want to practice your fist intent, you have to implement your own way. ”
Wu Li showed a childlike smile on his face, he finally realized his own fist intent, and took a key step on the road of cultivation, the next thing to do is to implement his own way.
He quietly exited the room and left the hotel again.
"Boom!"
There was thunder in the sky, and the rain was coming.
PS: I thought about it for so long before, just for this chapter, there is so much foreshadowing in front, and it is also for this moment; I want to write about Wu Li's fist intent as a martial artist, not an ethereal sentence, but a real spirit, from the beginning of the book to fight a few gangsters, to what the protagonist said to his mother, and then to his choice to shoot at two drug dealers, little by little, he finally understood his fist and intention, and I hope everyone can really feel his fist intent.
