Volume 1 1998 Chapter 45 Jingcheng Martial Arts Hall
The next day was Saturday, and Zhao Min made trouble with Li Yuan early in the morning, saying that he would take him to "step on the spot".
Li Yuan looked at her impatient appearance and knew that her heart was not as calm as she said. Also, although Zhao Min is precocious, he is still a child after all, which child will be indifferent to his father's marriage?
"Okay, okay, I'll promise you. ”
Li Yuan said helplessly: "You have to tell me what your family does, right?"
"You'll know when you get there. ”
……
Zhao Min's home is on the edge of the city, not far from the Third People's Hospital.
Li Yuan rode a motorcycle to carry Zhao Min, along North Street all the way to the south, through most of the city, and turned onto Outer Ring South Road.
After riding eastward for less than three minutes, Zhao Min shouted.
"Do you see the white building in front of you, that's my house!"
Li Yuan slowed down and stopped in front of the building.
"Your family runs a martial arts gym?"
Li Yuan asked in surprise when he saw the four big words "Jingcheng Martial Arts Hall" on the plaque.
……
Yingzhou belongs to Bozhou, which is known as the "hometown of martial arts".
Bozhou has a long history of martial arts practice, and there have been many martial arts masters, the most famous of which is Huo Yuanjia.
Of course, although Huo Yuanjia is originally from Bozhou, he grew up in Jinmen, and taking him as an example seems to be suspected of sticking gold on his face. However, even if you don't mention Huo Yuanjia, there are also many famous masters in Bozhou, not to mention, just in the late Qing Dynasty, there were swallow Li San, big sword Wang Wu, magic spear Li Shuwen and other masters.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yingzhou's martial arts community also produced many talents, winning gold and silver in domestic martial arts competitions many times, and the folk martial arts style is very strong. After the reform and opening up, under the influence of martial arts film and television works, Yingzhou's martial arts style has become more prosperous, and large and small martial arts halls have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
It is said that it is a good thing because in this way, the folk martial arts culture can be promoted.
It's a bad thing because the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
Now is the darkest period in the Bozhou martial arts world, some black sheep use the martial arts hall as a place to hide dirt and dirt, and hooligans and ruffians are picking quarrels and provoking trouble everywhere under the banner of martial arts disciples, and the social impact is very bad......
No wonder Zhao Min never mentioned what he did at home, probably because he was afraid of his classmates gossiping.
……
Li Yuan believed in Zhao Min and had no ill feelings towards her family's martial arts hall, and asked with a smile, "What does your family teach?"
"Bagua Boxing. ”
"I've only heard of Baguazhang. ”
"It's different, Baguazhang is a Taoist school, and Baguaquan is a Shaolin boxing method......"
Zhao Min said as he walked, and Li Yuan was confused, although he grew up in Yingzhou, he didn't know anything about martial arts.
Li Yuan is a human being, and today is the first time to enter the martial arts hall, and he is curious about everything.
The martial arts hall was rebuilt from a factory building and has a large area. Unlike the Japanese-style dojo in movies and anime, there is no flooring, and the lead-gray cement floor is full of potholes, and there are even oil stains in some places.
There is no heating in the martial arts hall, because it is an old factory, the roof is high, and there are few windows, which gives people a feeling that it is even colder than outside.
Li Yuan stomped his feet back and forth with his hands, but he still couldn't stop the cold from rising up the soles of his feet, on the other hand, the martial arts hall students were wearing single pants and vests, but their bodies were steaming like buns that had just come out of the cage.
"Hello Auntie!"
Seeing Zhao Min, whether he was standing on a pile, practicing equipment, or boxing, they all stopped and greeted respectfully.
"They call you Senior Aunt?" asked Li Yuan. He noticed that some of the trainees were not in their twenties or thirties.
"They are all my father's apprentices, why don't you call my aunt?"
Zhao Min said confidently.
"You still pay attention to this?"
"Nonsense, martial arts halls that don't teach are liars. ”
"Senior sister, is he here to learn martial arts, or is it your object?"
A sturdy man in his early thirties walked over wiping his sweat.
"It's all said, don't call me senior sister!" Zhao Min's ears were a little red, and he introduced: "This is Li Yuan, my classmate, who came to see the excitement." He is my father's apprentice, you can just call him Uncle Wei. ”
Zhao Min is holding back the bad, and wants to use his seniority to pressure Li Yuan.
Li Yuancai was not fooled, he called Brother Wei with a smile and asked, "Why is Brother Wei called Senior Sister Zhao Min?"
"We practice martial arts in the order of entry, and I started late. Brother Wei wiped his sweat and asked, "What do you think?"
"Forget it, I'm not this material. ”
Li Yuan said and turned to Zhao Min, "How is your kung fu as a senior sister?"
"Look down on me?"
Zhao Min snorted, and easily raised his foot to kick into the sky.
"How about it, do you have the ability to come to one?" Zhao Min asked angrily.
"I can't. ”
Li Yuan hurriedly shook his head, he wore his autumn pants, woolen pants and jeans neatly, not to mention kicking in the sky, and it was difficult to raise his legs.
"No, you're a leg and not a box. ”
"Who told you that you don't practice your legs when you practice boxing. ”
Zhao Min gave him a blank look, "If I use my fists, ten of you will not be an opponent." ”
"Boxing isn't for fighting!"
A loud voice came.
"Dad!" Zhao Min turned his head and shouted.
Zhao Min's father has gray hair, but his complexion is very good, his eyes are bright, and his voice is even louder and powerful, not at all like he is in his fifties.
Seeing him, Li Yuan couldn't help but think of an actor named Wu Xiubo, who was really "handsome".
Wu Xiubo - No, it's Zhao Min's father, followed by a middle-aged woman with a graceful temperament.
If you guess correctly, this woman should be Zhao Min's future mother.
……
Zhao Min's father's name is Zhao Baozheng.
Zhao Baozheng sent Brother Wei away, and said to Zhao Min angrily: "You kid, you don't go home every day, I'm about to ask someone to look for you!"
"It's not like you're not going home for three days. Zhao Min complained.
"Dare to talk back!" Zhao Baozheng glared at Zhao Min and said to the middle-aged woman: "This child has grown up from Xiaoye to adulthood, and he doesn't understand the rules at all. ”
Zhao Min's face became ugly, and he reached out and pulled Li Yuan's sleeve.
Li Yuan and Zhao Min's tacit understanding was not blown, seeing that she was staring at the middle-aged woman hostilely, she knew that she asked her to inquire about the woman's identity.
However, Li Yuan is not easy to speak.
Li Yuan thought for a while, and asked the middle-aged woman with a smile: "Auntie, this dress is so beautiful, what brand is it?"
There is a first type of conversation with Genji, knocking on the side.
The middle-aged woman said a sign that Li Yuan had never heard of.
"Oh, where did you buy it? I want to buy one for my mom too. ”
"This is bought in Shanghai, Yingzhou may not have sold ......"
"How can a small place like Yingzhou compare with Shanghai. ”
Zhao Min said in a weird way.
Li Yuan ignored her and asked, "Auntie is from Shanghai?"
Seeing her nodding, feeling that the foreshadowing was almost over, Li Yuan cut back to the topic.
"I forgot to ask, what is the name of Auntie?"
"My name is Lu Mei. ”
As soon as the middle-aged woman's voice fell, Zhao Min suddenly said, "Is it Lu who bites Lu Dongbin by a dog?"
She deliberately bit the word "dog" very hard, and Li Yuan sighed secretly when he heard it, how could he talk like this.
Lu Mei's face changed for a moment, and then she laughed like she was nothing: "It's that Lu." ”
"You kid, how can you talk!" Zhao Baozheng lost his temper and scolded: "Don't hurry up and apologize to Aunt Lu!"
It is worthy of practicing martial arts, this voice came out, and people's heads buzzed, Li Yuan wanted to change to a person with a bad heart, I was afraid that he would have to go back to his breath.
"What's wrong with me, am I wrong?" asked Zhao Min with a stiff neck.
"That's it, the kid just jokes......" Lu Mei persuaded.
"I'm talking to my dad, don't interject!" Zhao Min choked.
Zhao Baozheng became even more angry when he heard this, and pointed at her and said, "I still don't understand the rules!
"I don't!"
"No apologies, do you?"
Zhao Baozheng rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move, but Li Yuan hurriedly stopped him.
"You're going to hit me again!"
Zhao Min, who had always been boyish, suddenly turned red in his eyes, turned around and ran outside the martial arts hall.
"Stop!" Zhao Baozheng roared.
He roared, and Zhao Min ran faster.
"Hey, wait......"
Li Yuan reacted and hurriedly chased after him, and when he chased outside, Zhao Min had already ridden the motorcycle.
"Hey, hey!" Li Yuan pulled his neck and shouted twice, and when he saw the motorcycle driving farther and farther, he sighed helplessly.
"You can run, what's the matter with throwing me away......"
……
Li Yuan returned to the martial arts hall dejectedly, and said to the two of them: "I didn't catch up." ”
"You are really, how can you beat a child!"
Lu Mei was angry and anxious, and shouted at Zhao Baozheng: "Don't hurry up and chase it, what if the child does something stupid......
"Leave her alone, she'll be back when she's figured it out. ”
Zhao Baozheng yelled at the students twice, telling them not to look around, and said: "Don't worry, this kid has an opinion, and knows what to do and what not to do......
It's okay if he doesn't explain, the more he explains, the more angry Lu Mei becomes.
"How can you be a father like this!"
"What's wrong with me!" Zhao Baozheng raised his eyebrows, "It's my business how my daughter should be disciplined, and I want to ask you, how do you be a mother!"
…… That's a lot of information.
Li Yuan looked at Lu Mei, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be a bit similar to Zhao Min.
Zhao Baozheng also realized that he had lost his words at this time, and beckoned to Li Yuan.
"Boy, come with me, I have something to tell you. ”
……
Li Yuan followed Zhao Baozheng to the back of the martial arts hall.
Behind the martial arts hall is a small courtyard, with a well in the courtyard, a few bungalows, and even rarer is a wooden stake.
"Woohoo!"
A yellow dog barked and ran.
Zhao Baozheng kicked the dog away and beckoned Li Yuan to come into the house and sit.
The area of the house is not small, and it is a standard northern rural hall furnishings.
As soon as you enter the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the portrait of Taizu on the opposite wall.
Beneath the portrait is a table with an incense burner, a tablet, two black-and-white picture frames, and a candy plate.
In front of the case is the Eight Immortals table, and there are two Taishi chairs on the left and right.
On the pillars on both sides of the chair hangs a woodcut couplet, which is "Doing Benevolence and Righteousness" and "Reading the Books of Sages".
The first time he came to the door, Li Yuan first bowed to the case, and then bowed to Zhao Baozheng, saying, "I didn't prepare a gift when I came, don't be surprised by Uncle Zhao." ”
Zhao Baozheng returned the salute with a fist and said with a smile: "You don't have to pay attention to it so much. ”
He said that he was not elegant, but he was meticulous in returning the courtesy.
Lu Mei watched it interestingly, and also learned from Li Yuan to Zhao Baozheng.
Li Yuan hurriedly grabbed her arm, shook his head and said, "Auntie, it's wrong." ”
"Huh, what's wrong?" Lu Mei was confused.
"There is a difference between men and women, if you want to do it, you should do the opposite, otherwise you will become a murderer......"
Li Yuan explained to her the difference between Jibai and Fierce Bai, and Lu Mei was very embarrassed after hearing it, and said, "There are still these exquisite...... I see that the two of you are not the same, but there is also a difference?"
Of course, there are differences.
Li Yuan is a salute, and Zhao Baozheng is a martial arts salute.
After Li Yuan finished explaining, Zhao Baozheng nodded again and again, and sighed: "What you said is right, there are not many young people who know these things now." ”
"I'm also learning and selling. ”
Li Yuan said embarrassedly.
When he went to see Ma Jun with Guan Xuedao, he made the mistake of worshipping fiercely, but fortunately, Ma Jun didn't understand these either. However, Ma Jun didn't understand, but Guan Xuedao did, and he deliberately instructed him afterwards, just because he was afraid that he would make a joke in front of people who understood.
