Chapter Twenty-Five: Old Man Chen
"You've been practicing since you were five years old, so you've been practicing for thirteen years?"
"Is this set of punches that difficult?" Chen Hao was a little surprised, he was a flat-headed ordinary man, so he naturally didn't know the hardships of this martial arts.
"This is my family's ancestral boxing method, after practice, you can open the stele and crack the stone, wash the scriptures and cut the marrow. Even if you are congenitally weak, you can become a martial arts master after practicing this set of boxing. Dealing with those little thugs that day, you also saw the power of this punch. ”
"I started training at the age of five, and it took me three years to get into the door when I was 12 years old. Until now, I have only barely mastered the whole set of boxing techniques, and I have not yet entered the essence. Chen Zhiyong shook his head and explained slowly.
"It's that hard, so why do I ...... I've only been thinking about it for one night?" Chen Hao's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he began to open his eyes and talk nonsense.
"So, you are a prodigy who practices martial arts! I heard my grandfather say that there were people like you in my Chen family, who only needed a day or two of kung fu to master the basics, and learned boxing techniques faster than others, I don't know how many times. Chen Zhiyong stared at Chen Hao and explained with some envy.
"I see!"
"Then you can quickly teach me the rest of the moves, otherwise it won't be good to waste my talent. Chen Hao said cheekily and half-jokingly.
"How is it possible! This is my family's ancestral boxing method, and even in my family, it is a rare thing to pass on to men but not women. You can learn it at a glance, and you can already be regarded as stealing a teacher. In the old society, it would be to break the limbs, break the tendons and tendons, and abolish the martial arts!" Chen Zhiyong glared at him, so frightened that Chen Hao hurriedly shrunk his neck.
"Is it that exaggerated? What age is this, and there are so many rules. ”
"Of course you have! You are an ordinary person who can't get in touch with this martial arts circle, so naturally you won't take it seriously. Stealing a teacher, whether it is in the past or in the current martial arts circle, it is a great thing!"
"Then I've learned everything, you can't abolish me, right?"
"That's a problem...... Let me think about it......"
In the past, Chen Zhiyong was a high school junior with a big temperament, but after meeting Chen Hao, his whole temperament seemed to be a different person.
I saw him raise his chin, sit on a big stone and ponder for a while, and finally said to Chen Hao: "I really can't help it, I can only take you to see my grandfather and let him decide." ”
"Your grandfather?" Chen Hao frowned, feeling that it was not so simple for him to learn Qi family boxing.
"Yes, my own grandfather is also my master, and he taught me all my martial arts. As for the situation of your stealing teacher, I can't be sure, I only know when I see his old man. ”
After a discussion, Chen Zhiyong decided to take Chen Hao to meet his grandfather this weekend, and Chen Hao readily agreed.
……
During the remaining two days of class this week, Chen Hao also got through it absentmindedly.
Before dawn on Saturday, Chen Hao and Chen Zhiyong took the first urban and rural bus from Ruicheng to Hushan Town.
This Hushan Town is a small mountain town more than 30 kilometers away from the center of Ruicheng City. It is not famous for its beautiful landscapes, but for a type of beef with a unique aroma.
Everyone who grew up in Ruicheng first thinks of the beef produced there when they think of Hushan.
In addition to the unique production method, the most important thing is the raw material of the beef, which comes from a unique paddy field cattle in the Wenshi area.
The beef that appears on this kind of cattle is firm, tender and juicy, and only the aquatic plants in the lakes and mountains can feed it, so it has not been promoted and cultivated on a large scale.
In recent years, as Hushan beef is sold in the city, the value of this paddy field cattle has become higher and higher. However, with the reduction of cultivated land, the cattle that were originally used to open up the fields and plough the land began to slowly become more and more unraising, until the slaughtered land was almost extinct in recent years, which was re-emphasized by the leaders of Wenshi City, and called on local agricultural and forestry enterprises to carry out integrated cultivation (a bit far-fetched).
"Ah Yong, haven't you arrived yet? My leg is about to break!"
"Hold on a little longer, climb over this mountain, and you'll be to my grandfather. ”
On an unknown mountain road, Chen Hao was breathlessly stepping on the moss-covered stone steps under his feet.
On both sides of the stairs are dense bamboo forests as high as three or four storeys high, and a babbling stream passes through the bamboo forests, giving it a unique sense of paradise.
But Chen Hao didn't have the heart to enjoy such a beautiful scenery, because he had already climbed the mountain road for two hours!
"I said, Ah Yong, is it necessary for your grandfather to live in such a deep mountain? Isn't it good to live in a small town outside?"
"You know what! My ancestor's old house is there, and when I'm old, I'm sure I'll go there to guard it. ”
The two of them slowly climbed deeper into the stairs, one after the other. Even if he was as strong as Chen Zhiyong, he couldn't stand it a little, and beads of sweat began to ooze slightly on his forehead. Chen Hao gritted his teeth and followed closely behind Ah Yong in front, for fear that he would be accidentally lost and lost!
When they crossed the last undulating hill, an old-fashioned attic built next to a bamboo forest stream appeared in the sight of the two.
"Squeak!"
Chen Zhiyong shouted and slowly pushed open the wooden door of the attic.
Behind the wooden door, in an open space with swords, guns, sticks, and weapons, two middle-aged men were doing the strange pose that Ah Yong had assumed before.
"Lazy clothes!"
Chen Hao's pupils shrank, and he recognized the posture of the two middle-aged men for the first time.
In front of the two men, an old man in a Mao suit with white hair and a ruddy face was holding a bowl of steaming tea, lying on his back on a rocking chair, squinting his eyes, staring at the two people who were practicing.
"Grandpa! I'm here to see you!"
"Oh, my baby grandson is here, and he's got a guest? Awen, Awu, you stop for a moment. Seeing Chen Zhiyong walking in with Chen Hao, the old man slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, waved his hand at the two middle-aged people, and signaled them to stop.
The two middle-aged men with sharp eyes did not respond, just nodded, and stood aside respectfully to wait, seemingly respecting the old man's arrangement.
"Ah Yong, why did you remember to come to see grandpa today? Isn't this summer vacation here yet?"
"Grandpa, I mainly want you to meet my classmate. Chen Hao, play the tricks you learned and let my grandfather take a look. Chen Zhiyong and the old man talked cordially for a moment, and then glanced at Chen Hao.
Chen Hao nodded, put down his schoolbag, and hugged his fist at the old man, "The junior is rude!" began to practice the Qi family boxing with only Lv0.
When he put on a posture of lazy clothes, both the old man present and the two middle-aged people who were guarding the side changed their faces together.
"Ah Yong, did you teach him this boxing technique? Have you forgotten the rules that your grandfather told you at the beginning?" The old man frowned, and there was a hint of blame in his tone.
However, Chen Zhiyong still smiled, and began to explain the origin of Chen Hao's boxing moves little by little.
"You mean, he took one look at it and figured it out the night when he went back?" After hearing this, the old man's eyes were about to explode, and his reaction was not much smaller than that of Chen Zhiyong at that time.
"Grandpa, how could I lie to you? He really taught himself, and I didn't teach him a single trick. This classmate of mine is a prodigy who practices martial arts, so I'll bring him back and see if you have any plans to take him in. Chen Zhiyong said coquettishly on the side.
"It's not that grandpa doesn't believe you, you have also practiced our family's boxing techniques, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get started without three or five years. You were able to spend three winter and summer vacations to get started, and it was also because your grandfather smeared secret medicine on your whole body all day long and boiled out your muscles and bones in advance. The old man said earnestly, and then his eyes turned, and his gaze had already fallen on Chen Hao.
"This little brother ......"
"My seniors call me Chen Hao, and I am Ah Yong's classmate. ”
"Chen Hao, yes, he was a family with us three hundred years ago...... Have you ever practiced a similar style before?" As soon as he asked this, the old man's kind eyes suddenly sharpened, and he stared at Chen Hao a little uncomfortably.
"Grandpa, don't ask. Chen Hao was a nerd before, and he failed the sports test, let alone practiced any boxing. Ah Yong interjected.
"The four bodies are just showing their strength, and their essence is just restrained, which is really not like practicing other boxing techniques...... Well, Ah Wu, you go up and try him. ”
