Chapter 8 The Old Man in China

Xu Hunxian was the first to go to the classroom, and he didn't come for a few days, and he had a feeling of being absent for a long time, especially for people with delicate emotions like him, a little nostalgic.

I took out a book casually, read it with relish, and immersed myself in the world of books.

It didn't take long for the students to arrive one after another, but the funny thing was that they were all surprised when they saw Xu Hunxian sitting in the seat, maybe thinking in their hearts, this guy finally came today.

Maybe they don't usually communicate much, or maybe Xu Hunxian's grades are too good, which makes them have a sense of distance, so they didn't come up to talk to Xu Hunxian, and only Park Xiuen, the shy little girl, chatted with Xu Hunxian like before, and asked about his situation, and her concern was overflowing.

Xu Hunxian didn't think much about it, chatted a few words, and continued to read.

Jin Zao also came when class was about to start, this guy was much more honest, and what was even more surprising was that he actually came to Xu Hunxian to apologize, which made Xu Hunxian stunned and a little uncomfortable. But then I figured it out, probably Teacher Yin Shanmei asked him to do this, and his parents also disciplined him a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be so honest.

The first period was a math class, and the teacher in the class asked a few words of concern when he saw Xu Hunxian coming, and Xu Hunxian replied politely. After class, he was called to the office by Yin Shanmei again, on the one hand, because of Yin Shanmei's own love for him, and on the other hand, he felt guilty about what happened to Xu Hunxian.

"How's it going, are you hurt?" As soon as she stood next to Yin Shanmei, Yin Shanmei asked with concern.

"It's basically all right, Xie Lu Xie Xie's concern." Because Yin Shanmei usually takes good care of Xu Hunxian, Xu Hunxian respects and appreciates her very much.

"Don't be so restrictive, just like at home, let go a little bit." Seeing Xu Hunxian standing there very restrained, Yin Shanmei smiled and persuaded her. It is not surprising that she is usually very friendly with her students and has a good relationship with them.

Seeing that Xu Hunxian was slowly relaxing, Yin Shanmei continued: "Did you see classmate Jin Zhengjiao today, did he thank you?" "Sure enough, it's Teacher Yin Shanmei, it seems that she specially instructed her.

"Well, he apologized to me as soon as he came, and his attitude was quite sincere." Since the other party apologized, Xu Hunxian didn't want to pursue it, and Xu's mother never taught him to speak ill of others behind his back.

"Well, I'll think he'll forget." Hearing Xu Hunxian's response, Yin Shanmei was very relieved: "Well, that's it, you can come to me if you have anything to do, don't be so restrained, it's like meeting a stranger." Okay, let's go back to class, don't be late. ”

"Yes, Teacher Yin Shanmei will see you again." Saying goodbye to Yin Shanmei, Xu Hunxian walked out of the office.

Teacher Yin Shanmei is really good to him, although she has a good relationship with other students, but for him, it is still a little different. Of course, the results account for one thing, but more importantly, it is his sincerity, straightforwardness, and politeness, although he is also a little cold, but he is sincere to others, and there is nothing pretentious, which is very precious.

Time passes day by day, Xu Hunxian insists on exercising every day, this is a very boring thing, there is still a bit of freshness at the beginning, and there is spirit in what he does, but after that enthusiasm passes, it will make people irritable, and then give birth to a tired psychology, which hinders the desire to continue exercising everywhere.

If you don't have a firm will, it's easy to give up, this is the so-called three-minute heat, but as long as you get through this stage, another window will be opened, which is a sentence that Xu Hunxian believes in very much, so despite this, he still successfully passed this tired period.

Slowly, he has turned exercise into a part of his daily life, and after half a year, his body has become much stronger, and his strength has also increased. From the beginning of the jogging, to the current medium and fast running, it can last for more than 20 minutes.

Not only did he run every day, but he also did push-ups and sit-ups, and a week before he started simple weight-bearing exercises. Of course, the two feet are only about 5 pounds.

As the day dawned earlier and earlier, he exercised for a longer period of time, waking up earlier than before. It's the climate of April and May, spring is coming quietly, and at six o'clock in the morning, Xu Hunxian's figure shuttles through the streets, his head is already sweating, and it seems that he has been running for a while.

However, he didn't pay attention to an old man who had been observing him for more than a month, from the beginning of curiosity, then stunned, to the current admiration, at first, he thought that which family forced his child to come out to exercise, so he didn't care when he saw Xu Hunxian, who was sweating profusely.

But he found that the child's parents had never seen it, and the child had never been lazy, and the amount of exercise was increasing, which made him interested, so he inquired about the child's situation intentionally or unintentionally.

The news he got surprised him even more, he was not in good health since he was a child, and he exercised so hard, which really made him feel good.

This morning, when he saw Xu Hunxian running past him, he suddenly stopped him: "Little friend, do you exercise here every day?" ”

Xu Hunxian saw that an old man stopped him, and he was a little puzzled, but he immediately stood still, bowed down and replied, "Yes, old-timer." ”

"Don't be so rusty, just call me Grandpa Li." The old man was still very happy to see him so polite, but he still asked him to change his words: "By the way, if I guessed correctly, your name is Xu Hunxian, right?" ”

Knowing his name, Xu Hunxian was very surprised, in his memory, there had never been a figure of this old man, and he began to be alert.

Xu Hunxian's change of old man didn't know how to say, he laughed helplessly, and he began to explain: "Don't be nervous, aren't you running here every day?" Later, I learned about your situation, so I knew the way. "So that's the case, Xu Hunxian understands a little bit in his heart, but what does it matter?

Seeing that Xu Hunxian had a disapproving expression, the old man couldn't help laughing, but he didn't take it to heart, but continued: "Look at your daily exercise like this, although you will make great progress in a short period of time, but this method has very limited room for growth, and it is easy to reach the bottleneck, and it is difficult to pass when it reaches the bottleneck, I have a good method, do you want to try it?" Actually, after the old man learned about his situation, he wanted to help him, and there was no other reason.

Xu Hunxian thought about it for a while, and still had some questions in his heart, so he asked directly: "Is it really useful?" Apparently, he was already moved.

For Xu Hunxian's question, although he was slightly uncomfortable, he still gave a positive answer: "It must be better than your current method, and in the whole of South Korea, it is estimated that there is no better way than this, but you must bear hardship, before you achieve something, you must persevere, and then you must practice more diligently, how about it, do you still have to learn?" ”

The old man has the pride of the old man himself, even if the current situation is caused by some reason, he is willing to do this, it does not mean that he does not have unique abilities.

Xu Hunxian hesitated, but he was not hesitating, but thinking, or weighing the pros and cons, which was a habit he had developed very early. It can be said without hesitation that what the old man in front of him proposed is an opportunity, an opportunity to make his body stronger, he doesn't know how much truth he has said, but one thing is clear, that is, he will not suffer, rather than his own mindless practice, there are not many results, it is better to have a master to guide, at least, stronger than himself.

Thinking of this, Xu Hunxian firmed his gaze and said respectfully: "Thank you very much for your help, I want to learn this method, please give me more advice." ”

When the old man saw him agree, his heart was also relaxed, although it didn't matter much whether he succeeded or failed, but when he wanted to help someone and the other party received it, he still felt good.

No longer pretentious, the old man said directly: "Since you agree, you must say that you will do it." Remember, wait here for me at 6 o'clock in the morning and train for two hours at my house after school in the afternoon, after all, there are some things that only my family has. I would like to remind you that you must be prepared to endure hardships, and you will practice by yourself this morning, and school will officially start in the afternoon. ”

After speaking, he left first, and what he said was Chinese martial arts.

Here, I have to say a little about the identity of the old man. Everyone in this neighborhood knows that the old man was once a professional soldier to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and after being injured and captured, he stayed in South Korea for some reasons, opened a Chinese medicine hall in Seoul, and married a wife and had children in the local area.

The old man was an orphan, born in 1925, and was later taken in by the Shaolin Temple, where he grew up since he was a child. It is precisely because he grew up in the Shaolin Temple that he learned a good kung fu, and was the strongest among the younger generation of disciples at that time, and studied Chinese medicine with an elder, and won the true inheritance of the elder, if nothing else, he would be a monk in the temple and be in the temple for the rest of his life.

However, the heavens always like to play a joke with people, or rather, he has no Buddha fate, in short, an accident happened.

Here's the thing, when he went down the mountain again, he ran into a soldier of the Kuomintang army robbing the common people's things, because of his youth and vigor, he couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward to theorize, and after the theory, there was a dispute, and he accidentally killed a soldier without paying attention to the dispute.

At this time, it was during the War of Liberation, in order not to cause trouble to the monastery, he resolutely joined the Communist army, and after several twists and turns, he was transferred to the Northeast Field Army.

I wanted to stay in the army for a year and then be discharged, but in 1950, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out again, and he was transferred to the front again. Probably not very lucky, when the war was about to end, he was in his hands, and his comrades refused to give up on him and were captured together.

After the end of the war, other comrades-in-arms went back one after another, and he continued to recuperate in South Korea because he was too seriously injured, and when he was injured and wanted to go back, he heard that his comrades-in-arms were liquidated after returning to China, and he was labeled a counter-revolutionary.

Simply, he won't go, with his own medical skills, and borrowed some money from the South Korean government to open a Chinese medicine hall, and married a wife and had children, until the end of the eighties, he will look at the Shaolin Temple, see that things are wrong, and then return to South Korea.

The Chinese medicine hall he opened shows people all minor diseases, and he never sees serious diseases, not because he can't see them, but because he doesn't like to be famous, he just wants to be ordinary. Of course, sometimes some people's hidden diseases are removed when they are not looking, and as long as they can be sure that people do not find out, they will do so.

Even so, there are still a lot of people who come to him to see a doctor, mostly some of the older generation, who are more recognized by traditional medical skills, and can learn some very practical health care things from him, not to mention that the old man's medical skills are good.

The old man has a son and a daughter, but the interest of the two is not here, although they also want to find a mantle heir, but such a person is difficult to find, besides, although his medical skills are superb, but outsiders do not know the Tao, so there are not many people who worship the teacher, today I saw Xu Hunxian, I did not mean to teach medical skills, although the other party is not a Chinese.

Soon, it was time for school in the afternoon, and Xu Hunxian quickly packed up his things and rushed home. When I got home, I changed into loose clothes and went to his house according to the address given to him by the old man.

"Here we are." Seeing Xu Hunxian walking in, the old man did not show much enthusiasm, but continued to beat his Shaolin Changquan.

Then I saw Xu Hunxian standing there in a daze, and instructed again: "Go and warm up first, otherwise you will be easy to get injured after a while." ”

Xu Hunxian nodded, then went to the side to warm up by himself, and when the old man finished punching, his warm-up was over.

"In the future, every time you come to warm up, first squat for half an hour of horse steps, and then teach you half an hour of boxing, the last hour, is the training of your strength and physical fitness, first of all, squatting horse steps, I will demonstrate first, you watch carefully." After the warm-up, the old man told Xu Hunxian step by step, speaking of horse steps, he first compared the correct posture.

"You do it, I'll correct you." officially started, his expression became extremely serious, and he also saw his seriousness, Xu Hunxian also did it, at this time, he didn't have a bit of entertainment mentality.

"Spread your legs apart, squat down, go down, straighten your waist, look straight at your eyes, and put your hands in fists at your waist, okay, that's it, keep this posture, I let you get up before you can get up." Brought to Xu Hunxian's posture correctly, the old man brought a chair and sat next to him and looked at him.

A minute passed, and nothing was felt; Two minutes passed, and I didn't feel much; Three minutes passed, and my feet began to go numb, and after four minutes, my legs became sore; Five minutes have passed, and the two legs have begun to tremble, which is already the limit of Xu Hunxian's first squatting step.

However, just when he wanted to give up, the stubbornness in his heart also came up, hold on, you must hold on, the master hasn't said let me get up, I can't let him down. At this time, Xu Hunxian had already regarded the old man as a master, although he had not formally apprenticed. His legs kept shaking, but he didn't fall.
