At 1:20 p.m. the next day, Zuo Jiang came to the door of Limin's store 10 minutes early, which is a habit he has developed in his years of work on the railway, and he has a particularly strong sense of time. Today's sunshine is particularly sufficient, this is the hottest time of the day, there is no one in front of the store, Zuo Jiang did not enter the store to enjoy the shade, casually sat on the bench in the shade of the tree in front of the door.

Erbao, who was eating popsicles in the shophouse, stretched out his head and saw Zuo Jiang outside, so he bought another popsicle and pulled Xiaohu who was eating popsicles with him and walked out, handed the popsicle in his hand to Zuo Jiang and said, "Boss, you came so early, it's too hot, eat a popsicle to quench your thirst first!" ”

Xiaohu also stepped forward and said, "Boss, I heard that Erbao said that you were hospitalized the day before yesterday, and we haven't seen each other for a few days, why did you suddenly get sick?" ”

Zuo Jiang was very happy when he saw Xiaohu at first glance, and said to Xiaohu while taking the popsicle: "It may be that I was sweating a lot that day, and I caught a cold when I went home and took a shower with cold water, but now it's all right!" As he spoke, he took a bite of the popsicle, which was as hard as an ice cube, and Zuo Jiang didn't pay attention to his teeth, covering his cheeks and gasping in pain. Erbao was a little overwhelmed when he saw it, and he didn't know what to say when he wanted to step forward, so he was in a dilemma.

After relieving himself, Zuo Jiang glared at Erbao and said, "Erbao, what kind of popsicle did you buy, it's just an ice cube, you want to knock out my teeth!" This popsicle reminds Zuo Jiang of his childhood, when ice cream had just appeared and had not yet completely replaced popsicles, which was a luxury for children. A popsicle costs 5 cents, but an ice cream costs 1 dime, and there are not many varieties, only two or three. Time goes back four or five years, and popsicles can be bought for only 3 cents, all of which are frozen with saccharin water, and have no nutrition at all, so I complain a little about Erbao.

Erbao was very embarrassed and said: "Boss, I also want to buy ice cream for everyone to eat, but my entire property is only 3 dimes, today you have a total of 8 people, that is, a popsicle per person is still 1 dime, I didn't dare to ask my parents in the morning, grinding my sister for a long time to come to 1 dime!" ”

Erbao's words reminded Zuo Jiang that Erbao's family life was very difficult, his father was repairing locomotives in the maintenance workshop of the locomotive depot, and he could drive sixty or seventy yuan a month, and his mother did not work as a small worker in the railway brick factory, and he could only earn more than forty yuan a month after a day of exhaustion, and he was even tighter for his sister to go to school in the past few years, and he would not give him any pocket money at all, and he didn't know how long it took to save the 3 dimes.

Zuo Jiang didn't have time to think about the problem of money when he returned to this world, and he didn't think about it when he went out just now, he stretched out his trouser pocket and touched it for a long time and finally touched a banknote, took it out and saw that it was 1 yuan, handed it to Erbao and said: "Okay Erbao, don't cry to me poor, this 1 yuan will be given to you, and you will buy ice cream for everyone to eat in a while, and you will have to 'shovel' brand!" ”

Erbao smiled when he saw it, he was not polite at all, and stepped forward to take the money from Zuo Jiang's hand. Among them, Zuo Jiang's family has the best living conditions, and the pocket money in his pocket is constant, and Zuo Jiang usually pays for everyone to eat. But Erbao's bruised face was more ugly to laugh than to cry.

It didn't take long for the partners to arrive one by one, what Wang Laoer, Chen Laosi, Daguo and Xiaozhu, Zuo Jiang was very excited to see these childhood partners, and greeted them one by one. Everyone gathered around Zuo Jiang, eating the "shovel" ice cream bought by Erbao, and shouting that they must beat up Bian Dalong's gang B.

Zuo Jiang and Erbao Xiaohu and their gang of partners have been playing together since childhood, they all live in the railway residential area is neighbors, there was no kindergarten to go to at that time, some families of three or four children, more than a family of seven or eight, even if there is a kindergarten, they can't afford to go to school, their parents have no time to care about them every day, so they play very wild, and when they went to middle school, Zuo Jiang's family moved to the cadre building, and they didn't break contact. Among these partners, only Zuo Jiang's father is a cadre, and the rest are workers, plus Zuo Jiang's smart people are also righteous, and gradually became their backbone and the boss in their hearts.

In 1982, after the movie "Shaolin Temple" became popular all over the country, it quickly set off a craze for learning martial arts across the country, and Zuo Jiang and his partners were no exception and quickly devoted themselves to it, dreaming of one day becoming a generation of heroes. But at that time, there was no martial arts school at all, and there was no master to guide me, just learning the movements in the movie, and I could only strengthen my body. Fortunately, with the boom of martial arts swept the "Wulin" magazine came into being, and some martial arts boxing books appeared on the counter of Xinhua Bookstore one after another, which solved Zuojiang's urgent need, everyone pooled money to buy all kinds of boxing books, "Wulin" magazine also must be bought in the future, this practice of southern boxing, that practice of northern legs, but also practice in full swing. But after all, the boxing spectrum is only a boxing spectrum, you can only practice a fancy shelf, you can't learn the real thing, everyone rushes up when fighting, and wins with random punches, and you are also complacent, thinking that you have practiced peerless martial arts.

Zuo Jiang was the first to discover this problem, he realized that these tricks practiced were useless at all, fighting in a group of battles relied on a large number of people, not to mention meeting masters, even people who were taller and stronger than him were not opponents, so there was no point in making trouble like this. So he paid attention to finding people who really knew martial arts. The hard work paid off, and Zuo Jiang finally found out that Wu Bing, the director of the Sports Association of the sub-bureau, had returned from the spy company, had participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and made a first-class meritorious service. He thought that the people in the spy company must be very powerful and have real kung fu, and they had the heart to go to learn from the teacher, but he heard that many people wanted to worship him as a teacher, and they were closed, and they didn't accept apprentices at all. So he grinded his mother all day long to intercede with him, and his mother finally couldn't stand his death and pestered him to see Director Wu Bing, which may be the reason why Zuo Jiang's father is Director Wu Bing's top boss, or it may be that Director Wu Bing saw that Zuo Jiang was clever and cute was a piece of material for learning martial arts, and finally agreed to him, but asked Zuo Jiang to keep this matter secret and not publicize it.

Zuo Jiang and Wu Bing learned martial arts before they knew what the real martial arts were, Wu Bing taught him is the family inheritance of Xingyi boxing and the skills in the army, although there is no ancient training of passing on the son or not, he also does not want to teach his apprentice to the society to cause trouble for him, while teaching Zuo Jiang's kung fu, pay special attention to the education of martial arts, and Zuo Jiang is just a teenager playing with skin is not a vicious person at all, after examining him for a period of time, Wu Bing finally assured that the kung fu he learned was taught to him.

Zuo Jiang strictly guarded the secret agreed with the master, even his partners did not disclose it, usually with them to practice martial arts, he knew that it was very important to learn the basic skills of martial arts, so he guided his partners to practice the basic skills, and from time to time taught them some sanda techniques, when the partners asked, he said that he learned in the book, so that they benefited a lot.

After going to middle school, only Erbao and Xiaohu and Zuo Jiang were in a class, and they still practiced martial arts and played together in their spare time, Zuo Jiang usually instilled the concept to his partners: people don't offend me, I don't offend people, people provoke and bully me, I will beat people. There were a few times when the school bully and the gangsters in society bullied them, and after they beat them up, no one dared to bully them anymore. In terms of strength, they can't beat Zuo Jiang, in terms of power, Zuo Jiang's father is the head of the sub-bureau, and there is really no one who can provoke him on the one-third of an acre of land on the railway.

In the past few years, Zuo Jiang's kung fu has also become a small success, and now it is no problem for one person to deal with three or four adults, and his partners are also strong and agile, and one will never suffer a loss to the other.

After eating the ice cream, Zuo Jiang saw that the time was almost up, so he said to everyone: "It's almost 2 o'clock, we will go to No. 3 Middle School now to avenge Erbao, if we go late, they still think we are scared!" As soon as he spoke, he waved his hand and walked towards the third middle school with everyone.
