If Li Jie had come to the China Martial Arts Hall half a year ago, he would have seen that it would not be the scene of the current depression.

The Chinese martial arts hall has gone through three generations and has a heritage of more than 100 years. Each generation of gym owners is well-known in the martial arts world.

But half a year ago, the third-generation hall owner Zhuo Yan was enthusiastic about participating in a world-class indiscriminate fighting competition and died in the ring, and since then, the fate of the Chinese martial arts hall has come to an end.

The sharp decline is as irretrievable as the falling stars. Although the elder brother Zhuo Hu struggled to support, the Chinese martial arts hall without the backbone gradually went to a desperate situation.

The disappointed students left one after another, leaving only a few of the six brothers and sisters who had spent most of their time in the martial arts hall from childhood to perseverance. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't even afford the venue fee, Zhuo Hu wouldn't have taken them out to find a show.

In addition to the still existing brand, the glory of today's Zhonghua Martial Arts Hall can only be recalled on the yellowed photos in the corners.

At dusk, after Zhuo Hu packed everything, he said goodbye to the brothers and sisters who were about to leave.

It just so happened that there was a junior brother who was interested in inviting everyone to a meal today, but Zhuo Hu, who was worried about the current situation of the martial arts hall, refused with interest.

Following the familiar street, Zhuo Hu, who was walking alone in the crowd, looked worried. In the past six months, there has not been a day when he has not been thinking about the future of the martial arts hall, but the embarrassment of reality is not something he can change if he wants to.

Seeing that there was a group of people gathering together on the side of the road, the curious Zhuo Hu also walked over. It turned out to be a makeshift lottery table.

Glancing at the billboard, it said, "First prize, 20,000 yuan." Zhuo Hu couldn't help but be tempted. After squeezing through the crowd, I paid for a lottery ticket.

Full of expectation, he rubbed off the black mark with his thick fingers, but he saw the words "good luck". The disappointed Zhuo Hu could only sigh and shake his head.

It is obviously too naïve to want to make a fortune by luck. Zhuo Hu, who secretly scolded himself, threw away his illusions, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd again.

As he turned around, a familiar figure suddenly rushed in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, he ran into an alley.

While concentrating on his memories, Zhuo Hu was sure that his eyesight was okay and he would not recognize the wrong person. flashing the panicked look on the other party's face, Zhuo Hu, who was in a state of confusion, hurriedly chased into the alley in a few steps.

Zhuo Hu walked into a cul-de-sac filled with garbage, and the rancid smell on his face made his appetite whist.

After looking around for a few times and seeing no one, Zhuo Hu walked in suspiciously. Behind a tall dark blue tin bin at the end, the woman was found curled up and hiding in fear.

With just a slight pat, the woman suddenly trembled in fright. He didn't dare to raise his head, and shouted repeatedly: "Don't hit me!" I don't dare to run anymore! ”

"Xue Qing!" Zhuo Hu'er was even more sure of the familiar voice when he heard it, and quickly picked it up with both hands. Seeing the haggard look on his face, he was even more shocked: "It's really you." ”

Xue Qing is about twenty-five years old, as her name suggests, her skin is snow-white, and her face is delicate. It's just that at this time, she looks sideburns and messy clothes, as if she has just broken free from the riot. Although he was forcibly dragged up, he was constantly struggling, and his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look directly at the man in front of him.

For so many years, Zhuo Hu has never forgotten Xueqing, his first girlfriend. Although Xue Qing abandoned him at that time, saying that she was going to marry a big man. But Zhuo Hu didn't have any resentment against her in his heart, he could only blame himself for being a poor martial artist and unable to give the other party the life he wanted. Even, Zhuo Hu sincerely hopes that Xueqing can live a happy life in the future.

But Xue Qing's embarrassed appearance in front of him made Zhuo Hu stunned. couldn't believe how Xue Qing could have fallen into such a situation, and he was suddenly shocked and shook Xue Qing's body vigorously, and shouted: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." I'm Zhuo Hu, you can see clearly! ”

After a few roars, the frightened Xue Qing came back to her senses. After staring at his eyes carefully, he suddenly cried and threw himself into Zhuo Hu's arms like finding a life-saving straw: "It's you, Zhuo Hu!" You're here to protect me? ”

"Don't be afraid, it's me." Zhuo Hu patted her vest gently. Expecting that the other party had suffered a lot of grievances, he couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, and after straightening it out, he asked contemplatively: "Tell me, did someone bully you?" ”

Seeing Zhuo Hu appear beside her, Xue Qing also seemed to have found a support, and her mind stabilized a lot. But listening to his questioning, he just lowered his head and kept sobbing, as if he had hidden great pain in his heart.

"You told me you were married. Did your husband bully you? I'm going to find him! In that glare, Zhuo Hu was about to beat people.

As soon as the words came out, Xue Qing hurriedly grabbed Zhuo Hu's arm with both hands, and shook her head desperately: "It's not him." You can't help me! ”

"Why can't you help, you say!" Zhuo Hu yelled, but found that the other party had been gritting his teeth and unwilling to speak.

At this moment, a group of people rushed outside the alley, and after seeing it from a distance, they immediately rushed in shouting.

"Little slut, how dare you hide here?"

Zhuo Hu saw that the other party's group was all holding iron rods and was menacing, so he hurriedly protected Xue Qing behind him. looked intently, and saw that the leader was Brother Biao who had met that day.

Brother Biao didn't recognize Zhuo Hu yet, and led a group of men to block the entrance of the alley. pointed at Zhuo Hu with an iron rod in his hand, and said viciously: "This brother is not nosy. We're just looking for this woman. ”

Zhuo Hu glared at the other party without fear and said, "What are you looking for her?" ”

Brother Biao glanced at Zhuo Hu a few times, and saw that he was in a strong figure, and he didn't want to cause more trouble. Then he snorted coldly and said, "His husband borrowed a sum of money from us when he was alive. Now that his husband is dead, it is only natural for us to ask his wife for an account! You don't have to be nosy. ”

Zhuo Hu turned around and glanced at Xue Qing inquiringly, and saw that the latter nodded reluctantly with an embarrassed face.

"They are usurers...... After my husband failed in business, he asked me for an account. Where do I have money? They're going to send me to sell ......."

Sell?! When Zhuo Hu heard this, he burned to his heart. Immediately turned his head and asked the other party: "Want money to go to the court?" If you dare to force good people to become prostitutes, are you not afraid of breaking the law? ”

"Breaking the law?! Hahaha. Brother Biao and the other people behind him couldn't stop laughing, and said disdainfully: "If the law is so effective, can we still stand here today?" ”

Brother Biao impatiently waved the iron rod to urge him to leave: "Boy, I'll give you face, don't be ignorant." Either you help her pay her back, or get out of the way. You go your way, I cross my bridge, each has nothing to do! ”

"How much does she owe you?"

"It's not much, it's just three million!"

After seeing the other party's dumbfounded, Brother Biao glared and said, "If you don't have any money, get out of here." Don't test Lao Tzu's patience! ”

Zhuo Hu's eyes drifted over the faces of the dozen or so men holding iron rods in front of him, and he threw the backpack on his shoulder to the ground. After clenching his fists, he said firmly: "Xueqing, I must take it away." I owe you money, and I will pay it back to you in the future. ”

"In the future? Hum! I think you're looking for death and not picking a day! Brother Biao's eyes widened, and he waved the iron rod and shouted, "Bring that woman over for me!" I'm going to see how bold this kid is! ”

Just when these people passed in front of Zhuo Hu, they saw him stop with his cross arm. The man in front of him sneered and slashed at him with a stick.

Suddenly, Zhuo Hu's wrist flipped and firmly grasped the stick above his head, but the other party still tried his best to pull back but did not move. With a flick of his arm, he slammed the back of his fist into the opponent's chest. The man snorted and fell into the garbage heap in the corner.

"You dare to do it?! Call me this damn damn! In Brother Biao's roar, all his subordinates brandished sticks and pounced towards Zhuo Hu.

Stretching out his arm to push Xue Qing back a few steps, Zhuo Hu also shouted violently, glaring head-on.

Don't look at the large number of Brother Biao's subordinates, but which one can be Zhuo Hu's opponent who has been practicing martial arts for more than 20 years. After a few times, I saw those little gangsters flying into the corner of the wall one by one and wailing, but I didn't see any damage to Zhuo Hu. It's okay for Zhuo Hu to keep his hand, otherwise if his Thunder Fist is displayed, these guys will rarely break their muscles and bones.

Just as Zhuo Hu dodged and dodged a person, he knocked him away with a punch. Suddenly, from a dead corner on the side, the iron rod smashed fiercely towards the back of his head.

Empty! Immediately, Zhuo Hu's body choked, and he fell to the ground with a muffled grunt. When he wanted to get up, Brother Biao reluctantly aimed an iron rod at the back of his head and smashed it hard. Suddenly, I saw Zhuo Hu's whole body shake violently, and a stream of blood immediately appeared on his head, and the person had already fainted.

"Zhuo Hu!" Xue Qing cried and wanted to pounce, but Brother Biao stopped her and slapped her back and fell to the ground.

After pulling Xue Qing up by the hair with one hand, Brother Biao viciously kicked Zhuo Hu who was lying on the ground with his foot. scolded angrily: "Call you kid nosy!" ”

A subordinate here turned Zhuo Hu's backpack open, and said disappointedly: "Big brother, this kid doesn't have half a dime in his bag." Just a broken sword! ”

After taking a business card from his bag, he saw the words written on it. Brother Biao seemed to have memories of silent pondering: "Chinese Martial Arts Hall." Why does the name sound so familiar? ”

"Big brother, that's what the Emperor did that day."

Suddenly, Brother Biao glanced at Zhuo Hu on the ground. Gritted his teeth and said: "It just happens that the new and old accounts are settled together." Tell them to spend money in the martial arts hall to ransom people! ”

After a few words, he asked his subordinates to set Zhuo Hu up, and he dragged Xue Qing's hair, who was crying incessantly, like a dead dog, and strode towards the van outside the alley with a bloody iron rod in his hand.
