Chapter 1: Honolulu

The evening wave is slightly green, and the foot of the empty shore is green. The day is both spring and twilight, sad and drunk without waking up.

Wandering like a glass of wine, hesitating in this post pavilion. Looking at each other thousands of miles away, it is the same duckweed.

I struggled to sit up, my arms caught in the planks and tied with a thick white cloth. Looking around, it was a small room of about ten square meters, with bunk beds and a table with a few books scattered around. On the wall hangs a map of the world with a thick line drawn with a red pen.

Where is this? The innate fear of unfamiliar circumstances sustained me to get up. Suddenly, there was a sharp earthquake under my feet, and I couldn't stand up and fell to the ground with a thud.

Someone outside seemed to hear the sound, pushed the door in, saw me on the ground, and hurriedly helped me to the bed. I looked him up and down, a young man of seventeen or eighteen, with a seaman's hat on his head, short sleeves, and a delicate face. Seeing me staring at him, he smiled shyly and said, "You're seriously injured!" Don't move, Uncle Li will curse if he falls. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and said in my heart: "Uncle Li, is it Senior Brother Li?" Where is he going to send me? ”

"Lee, what about Uncle Li? I want to meet him. ”

"Well, I'll call you." The young man answered and walked out quickly.

I waited against the wall, and then there was a long silence, and the occasional vibration.

I don't know how long later, I was in a drowsy sleep, and a gentle voice came from my ear: "You want to see me?" ”

I was shocked, and I opened my eyes and looked over: "Senior Brother Li! Yes! Are you, are you the one that night? "This person's face is actually six or seven points similar to Senior Brother Li, but the sideburns on both sides have been frosted white. I looked at him, and I actually felt a very inexplicable sense of intimacy.

He smiled and said, "Yes." I am the eldest brother of your Senior Brother Li, and you can also call me Senior Brother Li. ”

"That's not going to work! Take advantage of me again! Your name is Uncle! A girl jumped out from behind Uncle Li and said, with big eyes and long legs, it was actually Situ Jing. She hugged Uncle Li's arm and shook it twice, and said, "Dad, if he calls you senior brother, then I can't call him uncle!" It's not going to work, it's not going to work. ”

I was confused.

Uncle Li patted Situ Jing dotingly, and then said, "Okay, okay, little ancestor, don't shake it, if you shake it again, your father will fall apart." Then I'll call you the ninth day of the first month. On the ninth day of the first month, your arm is not in the way, just a month, just cultivate with peace of mind. ”

I asked, "Uncle Li, I don't want to ask you about your injury, I want to ask where we are now and where are we going?" ”

"To my house, of course! My house is fun, there are so many beautiful women, it's the best for a pervert like you. Situ Jing interjected. I had black lines on my head and looked embarrassed.

Uncle Li smiled: "Jingjing, don't talk nonsense, Chu Jiu is not that kind of person." We're on the Straight Worker now, going to Honolulu for a few months. I'll send you back to my country later. ”

Rank, when I was younger, I was no better than you are now, and there were very few people who went abroad in those years. When I heard the news, I was stunned, and I didn't know what to think in my head.

"Okay, Chujiu, you have a good rest! I'll come back to see you tomorrow. ”

"Dad, I still want to play a little longer, why don't you go first."

"That's not good, Chu Jiu just woke up today, you have to be quiet, wait for him to get better and then play, okay?"

"But people are quiet!" Situ Jing blinked. Uncle Li almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood, his old face turned red, and he quickly pulled Situ Jing away.

"You're a shame on me······" Uncle Li's voice was faint in the corridor.

The next morning, I felt much more energetic, and I got up early, ready to see the scenery of the sea, which was the first time I had ever done a sea vessel.

Stepping onto the deck, a moist and slightly salty sea breeze poured in. The sky is blue, the water is blue, and there are a few seagulls flying overhead. I couldn't help but feel relieved and shouted, "O the sea! You're so beautiful! ”

"Stinky rascal, shameless. It's been a ghost crying wolf in the morning. What's so beautiful? Situ Jing's voice came from behind him.

I'm actually quite an introvert, and it's rare to show my feelings so bluntly, and at this time, I was caught by someone, and I couldn't help but feel a little shy: "You heard me wrong." I was talking about the sea, Mother! Before I could finish speaking, a wave rushed over me and soaked all of us.

Situ Jing laughed: "Hahahaha, this is your stepmother!" ”

I pushed back in embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "Who hasn't been beaten by my mother yet, it's normal." ”

Situ Jing wore a long white dress today, and she felt a little fairy in the sea breeze, and I was stunned when I looked at it. Situ Jing's face was red, he retreated from me, and said angrily: "Look at it!" Look at gouging out your eyeballs again! ”

I grinned: "Don't you want to look at it if you look beautiful······?"

Situ Jing's face became more and more red, gave me a blank look, walked to the railing, and then asked, "Hey, how do you feel about the sea?" ”

I followed and said, "That's good! It's beautiful, I haven't been here yet. ”

Situ Jing smiled: "Beautiful, beauty is still to come." ”

In the afternoon, I had the opportunity to see the true beauty of the sea. In the morning, the wind was still beautiful, and after lunch, I don't know where a dark cloud drifted from, and then the whole atmosphere changed. The surging white waves rolled in from the sky, from far to near, the closer and higher, the higher and louder, like thousands of horses carrying thunder and rushing forward, and the depressed people could hardly breathe. If you think that a ship as big as the Zhigong is just a fallen leaf drifting with the waves, at the mercy of the huge waves, it seems that it may turn over at any time.

I hurriedly retreated, ready to go back to the dormitory to leave, when I suddenly saw Uncle Li walking out of the cabin, I was full of surprise, watching Uncle Li walk to the front of the big waves, take a horse step, and stand in the wind and waves like that.

Looking at the solid back, I suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion and impulse in my heart. I struggled to balance my body and slowly moved towards Uncle Li. Only when you really stand in the wind and waves can you feel the greatness and horror of nature.

When I first stood up, I was swayed after barely standing for less than two seconds, which made people feel that their manpower was exhausted from time to time. I grasped the side of the boat with one hand and tried my best to follow the rhythm of the boat's swing with both feet, so that I had the opportunity to observe Uncle Li up close. I saw that his feet were like nails, and he stood steadily in the wind and waves, which was already a very advanced foreign boxing kung fu, almost the peak of foreign boxing. And our internal boxing doesn't pay attention to Zama, the standing pile is the standing pile, not the Zama, so I can't be like him. But we also pay attention to the root under the feet, and there is a sentence in the Taijiquan Sutra that "its roots are in the feet, hair in the legs, and dominance in the waist".

I tried to sense the rhythm of the boat swaying with the wind and waves, looking for something inside. I understand it when I tell you about it now, but at the time it was purely by feeling. Perhaps it was a moment of happiness in my soul, and I let go of my hands, and then I let go of my feet, and my whole body was loosened, just like a leaf floating in the wind and rain.

I don't buy it here, in fact, this kind of energy is mainly hard work, and then with some stickiness. I used to be taught by my master, I listened and learned by myself, and I didn't know why, I practiced all eight internal strengths, but they were all dead. What is the strength, such as the water covering the boat, just like the water supporting the boat, these are all known to everyone. However, the strength is not only one-sided, in one of your scientific terms, the force is mutual, only when you understand that the boat floats on the water and moves forward with the rhythm of the water, can you be regarded as truly entering the house.

Here can be introduced to the love of Tai Chi friends a simple practice method: now there are the kind of equipment in the park that is stepped on with two feet and walked with hands, you can try to hold the handles with both hands, and then stand up, walk slowly, carefully taste the taste, I believe you will have a harvest.

Uncle Li saw that I let go of my hand and hurriedly came towards me, presumably because he was worried that I would not be able to stand. When he saw me standing on the boat as if he were moving, his expression was both relieved and surprised. Uncle Li asked: "Chu Jiu, it took me ten years of hard work to stand firm in this storm, and with my skills, I can only stand for half an hour." But it's the first time you've been on a sea boat, so how can you stand still? Seems like a little easy? ”

In fact, the difference between inner boxing and outer boxing is that internal boxing is a shortcut left for us by the predecessors and sages who took pity on the turbid pain of our mortal cultivation. I remembered what my master had said before, and replied, "Uncle, in fact, I think of myself as this boat, and as long as this boat does not capsize, I will not be thrown out." Uncle Li was thoughtful.

At this time, I heard Situ Jing shouting in the cabin: "Dad, the ninth day of the first month, come over for dinner!" Seeing us walking in wet, Situ Jing was speechless and said, "Dad, you are really!" It's such an old age, and it's such a big storm! And you, the ninth day of junior high school, aren't you afraid of being swept away by your stepmother? ”

Hearing this, Uncle Li and I looked at each other and laughed.

The next day, the wind was calm, the ship turned into a harbor, and the temperature became warmer and wetter. As soon as my feet stepped on the solid ground, my whole body became refreshed. As far as the eye can see, the typical tropical climate island landscape, this is the capital of the Hawaiian Islands, Honolulu, which the Chinese call Honolulu.
