The light and shadow in the grove were dappled, and the sunlight shone through the cracks in the trees, and the woods looked a little dark, so that the sunlight in the gaps overhead was like stars in the night sky.

As soon as we walked into the woods, a gust of wind came in from outside, making the flowers and trees rustle, and we felt very cool. If you are an ordinary person, you will probably choose to sleep in this shady wood.

But in fact, my feelings are still a little complicated.

I sat the cadets in an open space, and I sat down in front of them. Because they have been with me for so long, these guys also speak Chinese and understand me, so I can still communicate with them.

The students all looked at each other and whispered, not knowing what I had asked them to do here, and some of them were probably still guessing what kind of trial I had asked them to come again.

One of them had the audacity to ask, "Brother Quan, you wouldn't be like those old men on TV, who brought us here to meditate or something, that would be too boring." ”

I smiled slightly, but I didn't get angry, and said to everyone: "Everyone, don't be impatient, I didn't let you come here today to let you have a trial, I called everyone to come, I wanted to talk about my heart." ”

The little ones were in a hurry. Actually, it's a bit wrong for me to say that they are little guys, although they are still underage or just adult, but each of them is already very strong, if you don't look closely at their youthful faces, you must think that they are all adults.

I made the cadets fuss for a while, then coughed twice. They all fell silent when they heard my cough, and then stared at me with serious expressions.

I tried to make my smile look kinder, and then said, "Well, in the beginning, many of you didn't come to learn boxing voluntarily, either bought or robbed, and some of you had to come here because of your livelihood. And you've already killed people on the first day, have you ever thought about the way forward besides practicing boxing every day? ”

Number Ten frowned and said, "The road ahead?" I really haven't thought about it, isn't it just boxing, I heard people say that if we really go to the boxing ring one day, most people will die, only a few good ones will survive, I hope it's the one who survives. ”

Of course, that's what everyone thinks.

I shook my head and said, "Indeed, there is nothing wrong with this kind of thought, and I also fought my way out of the crowd with such thoughts back then. But you must know that to really survive and regain your freedom, it is not only necessary to have enough strength, but also a lot of luck. I can tell you responsibly that if the eleven of you here continue to follow this path, no more than three of you may actually survive. ”

They all looked at Four, Seven, and Ten.

I smiled and shook my head: "I said that strength alone is not enough, and it is too many to say that three people." ”

They were still young, and although they had thought about the future, they had not thought through it, and when I said this, the faces of these fellows all appeared with frightened looks, and some of them even began to dim their eyes, and they did not have the blood boiling appearance before.

One of them asked, "So what do we do?" ”

I sighed and said, "I don't know what you think of me, whether you think of me as a coach or if you really trust me. ”

At this time, No. 2 suddenly said: "Brother Quan, you are different from other coaches, although we are not smart, but this can still be seen." Brother Quan is very kind-hearted, and he is also very attentive to teach us again. ”

No. 10 said: "You are not smart but we are not stupid, everyone knows that Brother Quan treats us sincerely, listening to Brother Sanlong and Brother Wang Zheng, Brother Quan had exactly the same experience as us back then, and he must have empathized with our situation, right?" ”

I smiled and said, "That's right, I know you better than anyone." And I'm afraid you don't know, you are not the worst people, in the boxing stadiums around the world, there are more black boxing teenagers who have endured inhuman torture, and they have been trained to become tools for the black boxing master to make profits. Do you think it's interesting to live like this? ”

It's boring, even I don't think I'm bored right now, and if it weren't for that big goal in my heart that supports me, I don't think I'll be able to get to where I am now.

At this time, Bai Qing frowned and said, "Brother Quan, do you want to say anything to us, just say it, we can understand you." ”

I took a deep breath, glanced at Bai Qing, then turned to everyone, and said, "Then let's be straightforward, your fate is indeed in the hands of others, but I have the ability to allow you to hold your own destiny in your hands." ”

Everyone looked at me with a wink.

I continued: "I'm not like the other coaches, and now I'm on my feet for the time being, but it's not enough to help you. However, in three months' time, if you can achieve a big victory, then I will have a chance to go up, and I will probably control the entire black boxing stadium in Bullet Mountain, and at that time, I can give you the right to choose. ”

Number Two wondered, "The right to choose?" What do we choose? ”

I smiled and said, "Choose to live the life you want, if you can really win the Golden Triangle boxing match, you can continue to follow me, and you will be my brother in the future." If you want to be free, you can also leave. But to be at the front and follow me means to take a big risk. ”

The crowd sighed, and they apparently didn't quite understand what I meant.

At this time, Bai Qing glanced at me, and then said softly: "Brother Quan, can you let me elaborate on my thoughts?" ”

I nodded.

Bai Qing first looked cautiously around the woods, but instead of looking at me, he said to those companions next to him: "Brother Quan means that he wants to develop us into his own strength, right?" Brother Quan, is he an ambitious person? ”

Bai Qing is obviously singing a double reed with me.

The students also realized something after hearing this, and they were surprised and said, "Brother Quan, do you want it?" Rebel? ”

I smiled slightly, then stopped their conversation and continued: "People are human because they can control their own destiny, and if they are treated like animals, then life is meaningless. Those people above are ruthlessly oppressing us for their benefit, are you really willing to die for them? I have come through so many years on the basis of hatred for them. Not only do I want to get free, I want revenge! ”

After I said this, the students were already dumbfounded, and some of them didn't react for a long time. After all, the organization means irresistible to them, it means the threat of death.

I looked at the silent crowd and deliberately sneered, "I understand, it turns out that you are all kinds of guys." ”

These people are all young men with strong blood, where can they stand such a stir, and someone immediately replied: "Brother Quan, I don't understand a lot of what you said, but it doesn't matter, we will all listen to you in the future and just follow you." No matter who we are enemies with, in short, we know that it is impossible for Brother Quan to harm us. ”

When the man's words came out, the others were also ignited.

I am also very happy in my heart, and I think that a large part of these teenagers will be used by me in the future. But I don't use them as tools, I can give them the right to choose, but this right also needs to be fought for by themselves.

I said: "There are two months left before the boxing tournament in the Golden Triangle, your current strength is far from enough, you believe me, in two months, if you can come up with excellent results, if you let the three masters feel that I have the ability to give me an important position." You too will face freedom. ”

I'm pretty much done, but I'm not worried that one of them will leak the secret, even if I say it, I'll lose my head, but I'm not worried at all.

Because I was their only lifesaver, I did suspect that I was taking advantage of them, but I wasn't really ruthless in reusing them, and to be honest, it was more like a deal between me and them.

Of course, I didn't expect that of the eleven teenagers sitting in the woods, two of them died in the Black Boxing Tournament in the Golden Triangle two months later, one regained his free body, and the other appeared in a regular international boxing tournament and became a new generation of boxing champions. And the remaining seven people stayed with me, and in just one year, they became the feared Seven Killers of Indochina.

When I was in a high position after many years, I looked back at this time, but I didn't expect that from this sitting and talking in the woods, my life also went on a completely different path than before. The road is bloody and cruel, and there is no turning back, but it is hearty enough.

I thought I was fighting for freedom, but I didn't expect that in the end I got everything, but I lost it.

But that's all for later, at least for now, I'm excited and full of anticipation.

After the Grove Symposium, I began to train my eleven students more attentively, imparting all my skills to them almost without reservation. The so-called employment is not suspicious, and the suspicious person is not used. And they also made me very satisfied, and the speed of growth made me feel a little jaw-dropping as a person who has come before.

Among them, the fastest growing is Bai Qing, who is not only one of Ye Chun's favorite Wing Chun students, but also has learned the way of form and meaning in my half of Tai Chi more thoroughly.
