People always like to find topics to pass the time when they are free. From national events, regional disputes, and military conflicts. Small to food, clothing, housing and transportation, the east family, the west family is short. Neighbors, colleagues in the unit, three or five friends get together for a little drink, there is nothing that cannot be said or discussed. It is said that women gossip, and many times, men are also quite broken-mouthed. It is said that the old man is a chatter, but when the young man is bored, he talks a lot.

When you are free, you will feel bored, but when something meaningful, interesting and interesting will happen, then the spirit will be concentrated.

In the past two days, two things have gradually become the center of discussion among the people of Zhengzhou after tea and dinner. One is the countdown to Hong Kong's return to the motherland. The other is the international martial arts exchange competition that will be held in Zhengzhou, an inland city and a large port in Henan.

The former is a banner that washes away a century of shame, represents China's strong rise, and is a major event in the Chinese world. On June 30, Chinese people all over the world were able to hold their heads high. The bright red color representing the festivity of the Chinese will be dyed all over the sky. The English, who were everywhere flaunting themselves as gentlemen and claiming to be true aristocrats, were on the contrary, because their heads had to be lowered. The Iron Lady Thatcher was defeated in front of the unbeatable little man in China. The last Governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten, will also leave a strong mark on the history of China and Britain.

Compared with the heavy event of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the weight of the international martial arts exchange competition is much lighter. Strictly speaking, there is no comparison at all. Although there are many people who pay attention, the focus is not here. However, it cannot stand up to the propaganda and overwhelming reports of television, radio, newspapers, and other news media in the past few days. The shift in the center of gravity naturally aroused heated discussions among the people. In addition, Henan is the hometown of martial arts. That kind of martial style condensed in the bones can't be eliminated. No matter how much time has passed, it is indelible.

One side of the water and soil to nurture the other side of the people, this sentence at first glance sounds like nothing, but if you think about it carefully, it is really like this. For example, Cantonese people are open-minded and have a strong ability to accept new things. Northeast people are simple, tough, and not afraid of heaven and earth. Zhejiang people are fine, born to do business materials. The people living in the Inner Mongolian prairie are as hospitable and broad-minded as the immortals who gave birth to them and raised them. There are also Shandong people, Shanxi people, Sichuan people, Yunnan people, etc., no matter where the people are, they all have their own inherent and regional characteristics, which can also be said to be an inimitable characteristic.

In this era of decline of traditional martial arts, the far-reaching significance and influence of holding such a Sino-Japanese martial arts exchange competition in Henan were not expected by the organizers and participants.

Although the time was rushed, under the order of the local government, the efficiency was surprisingly good. In just a few days, everything related to the exchange competition was in place. The venue, the rules and procedures, the selection criteria of the participants, etc., are all decent, as if they can be compared with the regular competition projects. No wonder some people say that unless the Chinese don't want to do it, as long as they want to do something, there is nothing they can't do.

While the public is looking forward to the day of return, they are also waiting for the opening of the competition. But the Zhengzhou public security department is having a headache. Because the continuous brawls on the streets in the past few days can be regarded as almost the sum of recent years. And the vast majority are outsiders. The police had just been dispatched here to stop it, and it happened again in other places, sometimes in many neighborhoods at the same time. Not only are the police stations in the jurisdiction very busy, but even the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau is also busy. In the end, he had to turn to the armed police to help in the defense.

And that's not all. What made them even more troubled was that many of the two sides of the fight had met for the first time and had not known each other before. As for the reason for fighting, it is as ridiculous. According to those people's words, we are not fighting, we are fighting. The law doesn't stipulate that it is illegal to compete in martial arts, right?

Too much to catch. There are not 10,000 but 8,000 martial artists from all over the country who have poured into Zhengzhou. Often, in order to arrest one person, you have to go up to five or six or even seven or eight policemen. The results may not be grasped. Don't say it, you can't catch it.

Don't catch it? The so-called martial arts contests of these lawless masters do not distinguish between places and occasions at all. The momentum is up. Whether it's in a bustling business district, a street corner or a high-end hotel, you can do it, and the destructive power is quite huge. Afterwards, he was arrested on charges of destroying public property, fighting, and obstructing public order, but people didn't care. Isn't it just a fine? The man's waist is very bulging, and we will pay for the damaged things!

That who's who, who didn't tell the winner just now, come, let's continue......

Lively, Zhengzhou City has not been so lively for a long time!

……

"Zhengzhou is very lively these days?" Zhou Yu quickly swallowed the hot soup bag in his mouth. Wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and look at Tang Ning with a smile.

They had been targeting the soup dumpling shop two days earlier. But I've been busy paying attention to the movements of Kuroki Shunichi's party, so I didn't find a chance to come. Early this morning, I can be regarded as able to fill this feast.

"Well, it's very lively. And there are more and more martial arts characters on the street. When the 23rd exchange competition opened, it was even more lively. Downing stirred the bowl with a porcelain spoon, he didn't like this kind of greasy stuff very much. So only ate two. "Oh, by the way, the newspaper says that the participants in this exchange competition must be recommended to be eligible. Who do the three of us recommend?"

Zhou Yu paused, and slowly put down the porcelain spoon in his hand. He turned around and lowered his head to find a small notebook from his back butt pocket.

Tang Ning suddenly smiled and said, "I said, how is your butt pocket similar to the belly pocket on the chest of the cat?

Zhou Yu ignored Tang Ning's complaints. Cautiously looking through the small book with a black cover.

Two or three minutes later, he suddenly raised his head to look at Tang Ning, grinned, and said, "I've found someone who can help us recommend." ”

Tang Ning was overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Who?"

"Chen Bo!"

"Chen Bo, who is it? What are you doing? Do you know?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"What?

Zhou Yu raised the small black book in his hand, shook it at Tang Ning, and said, "This book was given to me by my grandfather before I came to the capital." As long as the name is written on it, you can ask him for help regardless of whether you recognize it or not. ”

Tang Ning's heart was relieved, and he thought for a while, and said, "Where can I find him? Those little devils have been hiding in the hotel for several days. I don't think we need to stare at them every day. Otherwise, we won't be delayed, and we'll go to find the Chen Bo you mentioned this morning. The sooner the matter is implemented, you can wait with peace of mind. ”

"Alright, let's go now. Oh, by the way, have you two eaten well?"

"I've eaten, Jiang Tao, what about you?"

Jiang Tao wiped the corners of his mouth with a white tissue scented with mint, didn't reply directly, his eyes drooped, and he just said lightly: "I ate thirty-six soup dumplings." ”

The corners of Tangning's mouth twitched when he heard this, grinned, and said with a dry smile: "That...... Hehe, even if it's a good meal, it's probably ......"

Zhou Yu looked at his watch. 7:50. Recruit the waiter to pay.

Went out and stood on the street to stop a rough car. Zhou Yu looked at the young man's brother with a square face with a smile in his increasingly proficient Chinese, and asked, "Big brother, are you going to Chenjiagou in Wenxian County?"

The young man's brother sat in the car and looked at Zhou Yu and Tang Ning and Jiang Tao behind him, thought about it, nodded, and said, "Go, three hundred." Won't it?"

"Done. Zhou Yu didn't say a word, nodded in agreement. Turn around and greet the two behind you. "Let's go, get in the car. ”

"Wait. Tang Ning grabbed Zhou Yu, who was about to get into the car, pulled the car door and stepped aside, and asked in a strange whisper: "Wenxian, Chenjiagou, the birthplace of Taijiquan, where are we going?"

"What are you doing, of course, to find Chen Bo!"

"Chen Bo is in Chenjiagou? He is from Chenjiagou? He can also play Taijiquan?"

Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously, put his arm around Tang Ning's shoulder, and said, "More than that, you'll know when you get there." Definitely a surprise!"

"Can't say it now?"

"Hehe, sorry, no. ”

"Damn!"

"Anti-...... Damn!"

"Day!"

"Anti-...... Day!"

“…… Well, you win. ”

The red Jetta galloped out of Zhengzhou, and on the highway, the elder brother looked at Tang Ning and Jiang Tao who were leaning on the back seat with their eyes closed, pale, and a little sluggish from the reversing mirror hanging on the roof, and then turned his head to look at Zhou Yu in the passenger seat, and suddenly asked: "Little brother, how many of you go to Chenjiagou, do you also want to learn martial arts from the Chen family?"

"No, we have something else to go there. Big brother, why do you ask that?"

"Hehe, it's not good. To be honest, these days, there are too many people going to Chenjiagou. Locals, outsiders, and many foreigners all want to learn boxing. None of them succeeded. The Chen family, that is a real expert in Tai Chi, a person with real skills, where can the family heirloom things be passed on to others casually? Yang Lu Zen learned boxing first, and then got started! A hot mind is like learning this and that, where can it be so easy? Little brother, do you say this is the reason?

"Uh-huh, big brother, you're so right, fortunately we're not hot-headed. ”

Downing motion sickness. It was drowsy all the way. The boy Jiang Tao closed his eyes and let Tang Ning lean on him, never moving from beginning to end. Only Zhou Yu and the driver, you and I are chattering hot. A few hours passed quickly. It was almost noon when we arrived at Chenjiagou. [(m)Bulletless window viewing]
