Leaving the village, I walked less than two miles along a dirt and stone road to the single-plank bridge of the Liujin River.

The two of them stood by the river, looking at the single-plank bridge across the river in the moonlight, and they were a little excited, and they didn't speak for a while. For Yu Haodong, although this single-plank bridge has been abandoned for many years, it has a special significance for his inheritance of the Tongbei Mantis Boxing. For Cheng Yu, this single-plank bridge is the deepest childhood memory left by Yu Jizhai, before he was three years old, when his mother took him back to Yuji Village, the bridge had not yet been built, and his mother always carried him or carried him across the single-plank bridge that made him fear. Although he couldn't remember anything else at the time, the single-plank bridge was always his nightmare, and he often appeared in his dreams. Until he went to college, he still dreamed of this one-plank bridge.

The two stood for a moment and looked at the bridge. Yu Haodong walked a few steps to the bridge, stood firmly at the head of the bridge, and suddenly made a move, and actually practiced boxing on the single-plank bridge. But seeing a praying mantis-like human figure on the single-plank bridge, changing as quickly as a shadow puppet show in the moonlight, it was simply dazzling. The layman looks at the bustle, and the connoisseur looks at the doorway. Although it was under the moonlight, Cheng Yu could see it clearly, Yu Haodong on the single-plank bridge beat a set of punches to a combination of rigidity and softness, both long and short, alternating up and down, inside and outside, unpredictable. Its technique, footwork, legs, and body are closely connected and ingenious, stable and flexible, which can be described as seeking speed in life, seeking stability in fast, rigid but not stiff, soft but not soft, fast but not chaotic, and maintaining a complete posture everywhere.

Cheng Yu pondered while watching, but Yu Haodong had already hit from one end of the bridge to the other end of the bridge, and he turned around and came back. Then he closed steadily and stood in front of Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu applauded unconsciously.

Yu Haodong said: "I told you before that Tongbei Mantis Boxing absorbs the spirit of the praying mantis's highly concentrated, resolute and witty spirit in terms of spirit; in terms of technique, it absorbs its quick dexterity in skillfully using its two forearms to hook, hold, hexagram, split, etc.; in terms of body, it absorbs the flexibility and changeability of its waist up, pitching, twisting and spinning; and in terms of footwork, it absorbs its steadfastness, stability, and sudden leaps that flash and move forward and backward, left and right. Then the fusion of the top of the boxing, heavy shoulders, hanging elbows, live wrists, twisting the waist, sitting on the hips, buckle the knees and other requirements, forming a fast eye, fast hands, fast steps, fast body, fast style, one move into three moves, long and short, momentum is compelling, unpredictable characteristics. Of course, you already have these things. But you lack a kind of ruthlessness, and without this kind of ruthlessness, it will be difficult for your fists to reach a higher level. And this kind of ruthlessness, some people are born with it, and some people need to be cultivated. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Haodong pointed to the single-plank bridge and said to Cheng Yu: "This single-plank bridge is an excellent place for cultivated the day after tomorrow. Come on, you come up and experience it first. ”

Cheng Yu concentrated his energy and used light skills to walk on the single-plank bridge. He didn't dare to look down, but listened to the rushing river flowing under his feet, and his legs and feet didn't feel heavy. A few more steps, it seems that there is a nightmare in front of me.

Yu Haodong shouted: "Keep your eyes level forward, your eyes seem to be looking at what you don't see, use your mind to find the right foothold, and practice your fists." ”

Cheng Yu took a breath, slowly got up, and then gritted his teeth and punched.

The first few movements were relatively smooth, but when I made a sudden leap forward, one of my footings was not stable, and my body was biased, and I fell into the river.

Cheng Yu was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, thinking that he was going to become a soup chicken now. Unexpectedly, Yu Haodong grabbed his right hand, and with a gentle pull, Cheng Yu returned to the bridge.

Cheng Yu took a breath for a while and calmed down slightly.

Yu Haodong said: "Lack of concentration is a taboo for martial artists. Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and remained unchanged because his heart was very firm. The same is true for boxing, so we emphasize that the body should be correct, the body is upright, and the heart is fixed, even if it is standing on the suspension rope, it still makes movements. ”

Cheng Yu practiced again according to Yu Haodong's instructions, and it was really much better.

After practicing for a while, Yu Haodong said again: "I'm still detained a little, keep the middle point, and go to the open to fight." ”

So, Cheng Yu focused on the practice of long-distance attack, and after practicing for a while, he felt that his body was much lighter. Yu Haodong saw it and nodded again and again: "Very good, practice like this." Practice until you don't feel your body's presence, and you're done. ”

Cheng Yu practiced for a while, and Yu Haodong said, "I'll feed you." Stretched out his hand and called Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu hurriedly parried, and the two of them came and went to practice on the single-plank bridge.

Suddenly, Yu Haodong made a force and hit Cheng Yu's center of gravity, Cheng Yu flew out with a roar, and was about to fall under the bridge, but Yu Haodong grabbed his right ankle, only a slight swing, and Cheng Yu also landed lightly on the bridge.

Yu Haodong said: "Yes, the body is much lighter. We should also pay attention to grasping the three words of stability, accuracy and ruthlessness. The so-called stability means that the center of gravity must be stable; the so-called accuracy means that the landing point must be accurate, not only the landing point of the attack must be accurate, but also the landing point of the feet must be accurate; the so-called ruthlessness means that the force must be fast and crisp, and people must be caught off guard, and there must be strong penetrating power, and there must be an indestructible momentum. ”

After saying that, the two fought again. Looking from a distance in the moonlight, on the slender single-plank bridge, but seeing two big praying mantis fighting together, it is very beautiful.

The uncle and nephew by the Liujin River practiced very devotedly, but they didn't expect that there were also people working on the southern slope of Duojin Mountain.

This has to start from Yu Sanduo seeing Yu Xiaolong and Liu Yumei move into a new house.

That day, Yu Xiaolong and Liu Yumei moved into their new house, and everyone in the village went to congratulate them. Yu Sanduo happened to go back to the village in the past few days, and after he heard about it, he also ran to see the excitement, and walked to Yu Xiaolong's yard, he suddenly found that Yu Xiaolong and Liu Yumei were Tong Tong and Cuicui from the Fuyu Donghai Bathing Center, and this unexpected discovery almost shocked Yu Sanduo's jaw.

At this time, Liu Yumei found Yu Sanduo outside the window, Liu Yumei prompted Yu Xiaolong to let him look out the window, Yu Sanduo saw that he was recognized, and hurriedly slipped away.

After Yu Sanduo returned home, he was very surprised at first, and then he was a little panicked, and then he secretly became happy, and he thought, "Isn't this my chance to make meritorious contributions?" If I report this matter to Mr. Guigu, won't that Mr. Guigu reward me greatly? Great. Thinking of this, Yu Sanduo packed his luggage and drove back to the city in a hurry.

After Yu Sanduo entered the city, he didn't have time to go home, so he drove directly to his unit, Yingzhou Chengxin Pawn Company. Yu Sanduo originally did not have a fixed occupation, relying on collusion with some gangsters in the society, doing some illegal things for a living, three months ago, was introduced by a gangster, entered this pawn company, became a so-called salesman, this so-called business is actually money lending and debt collection, because the main business of this pawn company is to lend usury.

Yu Sanduo knows that in order to mix well in this unit, you must first get the appreciation of the pawnshop boss, the boss of this pawnshop is called Ou Wenqiang, and Ou Wenqiang's subordinate enterprises are numerous, and it is not easy to pawn the shop once or twice a year, so ordinary employees have very few opportunities to see Ou Wenqiang, and the perennial pawnshop is the boss's military advisor, known as Mr. Guigu's Zhu Guli. All the daily operations of the pawnshop are handled by Zhu Guli. Ou Wenqiang trusts Zhu Guli very much. Therefore, in order to obtain the appreciation of the boss Ou Wenqiang, you must first obtain the appreciation of Zhu Guli.

After Yu Sanduo went upstairs, he went straight to Zhu Guli's office, but was blocked by the secretary at the door of the office. Yu San was busy and said, "I have something important to report to Mr. Guigu. The secretary said, "Mr. Guigu is on a business trip, let's talk about it when he comes back." Yu Sanduo said: "But my business is very important." The secretary said, "Whoever is looking for Mr. Guigu, which matter is not important?" Then he turned his face away and ignored Yu Sanduo no more.

Yu Sanduo was so angry in his heart, he was ruthless as he walked: His grandmother's, when Lao Tzu is mixed, I will kick you twice. As soon as he looked up, he saw Ou Jie walking over, and immediately smiled all over his face: "Brother Jie, you are busy." Ou Jie also patted Yu Sanduo on the shoulder: "Duoduo, where have you been running in the past few days? ”

This Ou Jie is the cousin of the boss Ou Wenqiang, and he is also the noble person who introduced Yu Sanduo to the pawn shop. After graduating from Oujie Vocational High School, he didn't have a suitable job for a while, so he made trouble in society, so he met Yu Sanduo, and the two had the same smell and soon became good friends. Later, when Owen created a pawn shop and needed to recruit a group of thugs to collect debts, Ou Jie remembered Yu Sanduo, and under Ou Jie's recommendation, Yu Sanduo became an employee of the pawn shop.

"Brother Jie, I took advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do in the past few days and went back to my hometown to take a look. Yu Sanduo said.

"Duoduo, you kid is clever enough, and you secretly ran back while Mr. Guigu was not at home?" Ou Jie said with a smile.

"Isn't Mr. Guigu at home? I really don't know, Brother Jie, you have wronged me. Yu Sanduo looked aggrieved.

"Mr. Guiya has been on a business trip for a while, and it is said that he went to negotiate a big deal. Oujie said mysteriously.

Yu Sanduo thought to himself, Mr. Guigu was indeed on a business trip, and it seemed that the secretary was not lying. The matter of Yu Xiaolong and Liu Yumei can only be talked about when Mr. Guigu comes back, and this matter cannot be told to Ou Jie, this credit must be mine alone.

Thinking of this, Yu Sanduo diverted the topic: "Brother Jie, what's the fun lately?"

When Ou Jie heard this, he immediately said with a sad face: "How can I be in any mood to play." ”

Yu Sanduo hurriedly asked: "What kind of problem has Brother Jie encountered? As long as Brother Jie says something, I, Yu Sanduo, will not hesitate to stick a knife in both ribs." ”

Ou Jie said: "I don't think you can help with this. ”

Yu Sanduo said, "What's the matter? Why do you know that I can't help." ”

Ogie said, "Duoduo, I'm finished." I got lovesickness. ”

"Ah, mom, it turns out that Brother Jie has a crush on which chick. I thought it was a big deal. Yu Sanduo laughed.

"This chick is not easy to fiddle with. Ogie shook his head and said.

"What's so hard to fiddle with? Who is our Brother Jie? Brother Jie is the most handsome guy in the world, what woman can't handle it?" Yu Sanduo patted his ass.

"Duoduo, why are you so comforting. You're so good at saying it, and it's going to my heart. When you say that, I have more energy again. Come on, aren't you okay now? Go, come with me to see that chick and help me come up with ideas on how to get her down. The two guys walked out with their shoulders on their backs.
