Chapter 190: Monk
Nanhu Park is the most frequent place for people to go after tea and dinner in this "shantytown", it is said that the government wanted to renovate Longwu Road before, a small park specially established, and later because of some historical problems and the obstruction of nail households, the renovation project was delayed again and again, and finally it was not done, but the park was preserved.
I like to sit by the man-made lake in the park after work at noon every day to relax and avoid the rush of people in the early morning and evening.
About a week ago, I noticed that there was a monk in the park, and unlike the parallel fortune tellers on the market, this person should really be a monk, with nine ring scars in the middle of his head.
When I first noticed him, it was only because he was not wearing a robe, like a worker, with a oily blue overalls on top and bottom.
Later, after he hit a set of tiger fists on the lawn of the park, I aimed at him thoroughly, he knows kung fu, unlike those fancy shelfs on TV and movies, his kung fu is more like being used in actual combat.
It was about the same time as I got off work, and he went to the park almost every day, first warming up in the park and running for more than half an hour, then playing a set of punches and kicks on the lawn, and finally taking out half a steamed bun from his pocket and crushing it and throwing it into the artificial lake to feed the fish, and then sitting for three or five minutes before patting his ass and leaving, never communicating with people.
This is a monk with a story, I am not very interested in other things about him, the only thing I want to know is that he knows kung fu, and I want to learn some boxing and kicking from him.
Maybe I don't have any talent for martial arts, but I squatted in the park and watched him punch for more than a week, and I was stunned that there was no improvement, and it belonged to the kind of front foot that I forgot about after reading it.
Today I got off work early, and when I arrived at the park, the monk had not yet arrived, and he lit a cigarette and looked at the calm water of the pond and began to start.
It's been more than a month since I came out of my hometown, I don't know how Wang Xing and the others are, what is the situation at home, have the two smokers fallen? What worries me the most is Xie Zeyong and Chen Yutian, these stupid brothers don't even have the money to buy tickets and take the bus back...
While I was pondering, I saw a monk in oily overalls walk into the park, and as usual, he jogged around the park a few laps before walking out onto the lawn and starting to box.
I sat not far away, smoking a cigarette while staring closely at his moves, this guy was very serious every time he punched, especially his expression was extraordinarily exciting, as if he really had some enemy, angrily waving his fists and kicking at the air in front of him.
Maybe he also knew that I was "stealing a teacher", but he didn't care at all, and would smile at me every time he finished punching.
In all fairness, this monk is actually quite handsome, with a white and pure face, and a pair of glass ball-like pure eyes, he looks very comfortable at the bottom of his heart, and today he seems to have something on his mind, and after the boxing, he didn't go to feed the fish, but sat directly on the lawn to rest.
"Hello. After pondering for a few seconds, I decided to say hello to him first, and sat down next to him with a smile.
"Hello!" the monk smiled and nodded at me, his voice was extremely hoarse, as if he was shouting through his throat, and it sounded a little uncomfortable.
"Dude, what do you do? See you don't get off work until this is the time every day?" I asked, speechless.
"It's not off work, it's work, and I'll be going to work in a while, I'm working in an auto parts factory, what about you?" the monk grinned at me very brightly.
"I work as a waitress in a restaurant. I scratched my head embarrassedly, after all, it was a bit shameless for a big man to say that he was a waiter.
"Tasting the delicious food of the world, tasting the ups and downs, is also a kind of mind cultivation, which is very good!" the monk smiled implicitly, revealing two rows of clean teeth, looking particularly sunny.
"When you said that, I instantly felt that my work was high, hehe~" I rubbed my nose and said to him, "My name is Song Bao, what do you call me, buddy?" I handed him a cigarette.
"You just call me a monk, that's what our colleagues call me. He hesitated slightly, but took the cigarette and put it to his mouth expertly.
"Monks smoke too?" I was a little stunned.
The monk smiled indifferently, "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, the Buddha is sitting in his heart, and I am no longer a monk." ”
"Uh, that's it! You seem to have something on your mind today, I see that your punches are different from the other day, I don't know kung fu, it's just nonsense..."
"Some mundane things, life in the world is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, nothing!" The monk stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and waved his hand at me, "Thank you for the cigarette, I went to work, see you tomorrow!"
"Okay, see you tomorrow!" I nodded, I didn't continue to keep it, you can't be in a hurry to make friends, otherwise it will only make people disgusted, and if we can meet today, it's a good start.
After sitting in the park for a while, I was also ready to go back to the hotel, after all, I had promised Cai Jiu'er that I would go to her classmate's birthday party with her in the evening, so I had to clean up my lily soso.
First go back to the place where I live, find out a pure white T-shirt and jeans I bought from the night market a few days ago, when I washed my face, I suddenly found that there is a nylon pocket under the bed, and this pocket always gives me a familiar feeling, probably the boss's.
I didn't take it too seriously, I packed up and set off for the restaurant, and when I walked to the door of the restaurant, I suddenly saw a figure on the table that I had been thinking about day and night lately, sucking noodles, and I was stunned.
"Fuck it..."I angrily folded my arms and rushed into the restaurant, "Old Wang Ba Calf, I'll kill you!"
That's right, the thin back is none other than the old man who stole my money from the train, wearing a dirty chef's robe at this moment, holding chopsticks in one hand and half a clove of garlic in the other.
I slapped him on the back, and the old thing choked and spit out the noodles directly, I grabbed the collar of his clothes and dragged him to the door, "Damn, you come out with me!"
"Don't do it, if there is anything we can say, the villagers are not outsiders. The old man struggled with a smiling face, how could his small physique, which was less than one hundred and two, stubbornly pass me, and was brutally pulled out of the restaurant by me, the most annoying thing is that this guy actually has Chen Yutian's big sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Nima coins, and the face of the fellow, you are so professional at killing and stealing the money of the fellow, right?" I smashed my fist on the old man's cheek, and the old man was staggered by my fist, "Ouch, ouch..."
Hearing our noise, the boss and the boss lady also ran out in a hurry, the boss helped the old man up, and the boss dragged me...
"Why did you two fight? Xiao Song, this is the chef of our restaurant, Brother Wang, the little guy is not sensible, don't be like him!" The boss glared at me sternly, and comforted the old man with kind words.
"Old thing, tell the boss why I beat you?" The proprietress of more than 200 pounds stood in front of me, and I couldn't rush over, so I could only grit my teeth and point at the old man and scold.
"It's really wrong for me to do this, and it's not wrong to let my little brother beat me to death, I should die!" The old man is really good at acting, and when he saw that I was blocked by the boss's wife, he coughed and spat bloody spit, sat on the ground and patted his thighs and howled.
"What the hell is going on? We're all our own people, so we won't do it!" the boss looked at the two of us in confusion.
"Boss, call the police! I took the wrong thing on the train, and the child I hurt has suffered for so long, I should be sentenced, boss, you call the police and let the police arrest me." "The more the dog day played, the more addictive it became, while not shedding a tear of dry howl, while pretending to play the emotional card.
"Less, where's my money?" I shouted at him, wheezing.
"If I had the money, I would have paid you back a long time ago, and I wouldn't have asked you to call the police, brother, we are all fellow countrymen, and now we are working in a restaurant, do you think this is okay? I will pay you back with my monthly salary in the future..."
