The construction of the martial arts hall is still in progress, but after talking to Hei Guhong about Taoism, more and more people came to visit, some persuaded Chen Mu not to leave the walled city, and some people hoped to follow Chen Mu, and a large part of them wanted to become Chen Mu's partners.

Chen Mu was also overwhelmed, and after thinking about it, he finally moved out of the walled city in advance and stayed in a hotel opposite the martial arts hall.

Hei Guhong didn't try to keep it, because it would be even more embarrassing, and he didn't even come to see Chen Mu off when he left the walled city.

Huang Xing and Wang Julou have been busy working on the original site of the workshop, and even Boss Wu has sent people to help, and Heiguhong has indeed provided a lot of manpower, and the construction site is in full swing, and the results are also very gratifying.

Chen Mu doesn't like to point fingers, so in addition to going to see the workers every day, he doesn't ask too much about the construction progress.

It's just that he soon discovered something interesting.

These people are all skilled veterans and work very quickly, but there is a little guy in it, which has attracted Chen Mu's attention.

This kid is thin and weak, he looks like he is fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is inconspicuous in it, he laughs at everyone he sees, and he doesn't eat much.

Chen Mu asked a few people, but he didn't know anything about this kid, thinking that he should have mixed in.

At noon that day, as soon as the time for dinner came, Chen Mu caught this kid, and he was not panicked, but saluted Chen Mu very politely.

"Mr. Chen."

Chen Mu saw that he was unhurried, not like a child in the market, so he asked him, "What's your name?" ”

The kid was also neat: "My name is Fang Zongji, I admire Mr. Chen's knowledge and kung fu, but my family is embarrassed and I don't have the money to pay the tuition, so I thought about it, so I came to work in advance, hoping that Mr. can accept my ......"

Chen Mu didn't expect him to be so honest, and Chen Mu also considered the issue of tuition fees.

Sun Youlin and others followed Huang Xing to make a revolution, and only Chen Mu was left in the Dragon Hall, although the main hall would still distribute activity funds to Chen Mu, but without a contact person, Chen Mu had not seen the money for several months.

The industries under the name of Yulongtang are all in Guangzhou, and it is Lin Sheng's Long Ji who helps manage them, and there are also a lot of businesses on the side of the Rujian River, plus the profit sharing of the Guangzhou Arsenal, the income is still good, but no one crosses the river to receive money.

In other words, Chen Mu does not have half a copper plate in his hand, and since these days, he has been eating and drinking, and the martial arts hall is really going to be completed, and it also needs to be operated and maintained, which is a big expense.

Unless Chen Mu can keep in touch with the Guangzhou side and exchange economies, he will not be able to maintain the expenses of the martial arts hall at all, and charging tuition is a necessary choice.

But Chen Mu also has his own considerations in his heart, Chen Mu is very open-minded about tuition, if conditions permit, of course he hopes to be able to teach for free, after all, he is not opening a museum to teach apprentices.

In terms of accepting apprentices, Chen Mu has also considered all aspects of the elements, talent is important, but character is the most important indicator of assessment.

Fang Zongji's name is very literate, he is not an ordinary child's child when he hears it, he did not wait for the martial arts hall to open before getting in, but instead used his own labor in exchange for the opportunity to study, this alone is enough to win Chen Mu's approval.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu asked Fang Zongji, "How many years have you read?" ”

Fang Zongji did not hide it: "Yes, our family was originally from the Nanhai Wang clan in Guangdong, but it was just ...... Because he funded Mr. Yang's uprising, he was raided by the imperial court......"

"My father fled us to Hong Kong, but now we are ...... After my father died, my mother worked everywhere to find a family, and my siblings also wandered the streets......"

Chen Mu didn't expect that it would be such an inside story, and his heart was also sad.

After all, they are the big families who funded the uprising, and they fell into today's field, but they didn't go to Xingzhonghui to ask for help, which is really benevolent and righteous.

Chen Mu thought about it, and then said to Fang Zongji: "You come with me." ”

Chen Mu took Fang Zongji and quickly found Du Xingwu in the shed, and asked him, "Do you recognize this child?" ”

Du Xingwu looked at it and nodded as well: "I always saw him working on the construction site, and I asked him not to come again that day...... After all, it's still young......"

Chen Mu sighed lightly: "His surname is Fang, his family is a prominent family in Nanhai, Guangdong, and he said that he funded Mr. Yang's uprising, do you know the inside story?" ”

At this time, Fang Zongji also said to Du Xingwu: "Mr. Du, during the autumn equinox last year, you once came to my house, and you also learned Bagua Xingyi Fist with my old gentleman......

When Du Xingwu heard this, he was also stunned, and exclaimed, "You...... Are you Fang Ye's grandson? No wonder there is a bit of heroism between the eyebrows! ”

Du Xingwu estimated that he had never met with this Fang Zongji, but it was certain that the funding that Fang Zongji said should be true.

"Mr. Du has won the award, the kid is down, where is the hero ......"

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man, who talks so well, is really from a prestigious family, perhaps this period of time on the streets and taking care of his family has also made him grow up quickly.

Du Xingwu hurriedly took Fang Zongji's hand and asked, "Can Master Fang be in Hong Kong?" Take me to meet him! ”

Fang Zongji frowned, and had no choice but to repeat what Shicai said to Chen Mu.

Du Xingwu was also full of shame and guilt, and said to Fang Zongji: "Your Fang family is a righteous clan, I didn't expect to suffer such a bad luck, but we didn't know anything, let alone any relief, we are really ashamed to be ashamed......

Fang Zongji shook his head and said: "Ah Gong said that he did not fund you for personal gain, nor because of personal friendship, not business dealings, and not for extravagant returns, so no one owes anyone ......."

Hearing this, Chen Mu glanced at Du Xingwu, and both of them admired it in their hearts, they were worthy of being the children of a famous family, and such awareness and morality were really embarrassing.

"I didn't know it earlier, but I was lucky enough to meet you today, and I can't say anything that will let you survive on the streets, and wait for me to call Mr. Huang Xing to visit your house!"

As soon as Du Xingwu said this, he asked someone to go out to find Huang Xing, but Fang Zongji shook his head.

"Mr. Du doesn't have to bother, my grandfather and father have passed away, and there are only my mother and my brothers and sisters at home, I came here to work because I want to learn from a teacher, and I want to rely on my own strength to protect my family in the future......"

"Ah Gong and my father have said that the ancestors are also self-made, we can't sit and eat empty, we must learn the craft of the body, even if the family is in the middle, it will not starve to death, it is better to ask for others than to seek yourself, this is the family motto, but also the truth."

Chen Mu and Du Xingwu were both shocked by this precocious child, and it was hard to imagine that these words came from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child.

The three of them talked about the recent situation again, and after half an hour, Huang Xing also walked in, and when he saw the child, he was so excited that he wanted to cry.

"Zongji, I didn't expect you to be here!"

"Mr. Huang......" Fang Zongji laughed, only then did he think of a child who needed someone to rely on.

Huang Xing blamed with some annoyance: "You are clearly in Hong Kong, why don't you come to me!" ”

"Mr. is in the walled city......" Fang Zongji subconsciously said, but quickly stopped his mouth and changed his words: "We are also doing well outside, and we don't want to cause trouble to Mr. ......"

Hearing this, not only Huang Xing was a little ashamed, but Chen Mu felt a little unhappy.

Yes, Huang Xing and the others hid in Tibet, and in the end they could only hide in the walled city, how could the Fang family go to him for help?

After being silent for a moment, Huang Xing finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Since I bumped into it today, take me to my home to see, and the Xingzhong Association will definitely settle it, so that you can live without worry." ”

Fang Zongji shook his head: "Actually, I saw Mr. a few days earlier, but it was just ......"

"I work on the construction site because I want to worship Mr. Chen as a teacher, and I can take care of my mother and siblings in the future, Mr. Huang, you are doing great things, I can't hold you back......"

Huang Xing suddenly became a little angry: "What did you say!" In the end, we are still carrying out revolution for the sake of the people, and you have gone bankrupt and supported and funded without hesitation, if even you are disappointed, what kind of revolution will we carry out! ”

Fang Zongji was also taken aback, and immediately apologized: "Sir, I lost my words...... That's not what I intended......"

Huang Xing also realized his gaffe, and said to Fang Zongji: "Take me home first, take a look at the matter of apprenticeship, don't worry, I will take it for you." ”

Saying this, Huang Xing turned to Chen Mu again: "Mr. Chen, do you say it's okay?" ”

Huang Xing is a very considerate person, he would never say such strong words, Chen Mu also knew his intentions, and immediately said to Fang Zongji: "Yes, what Mr. Huang said counts, I promised to come down, as long as you are willing, I will accept you as a big apprentice." ”

Fang Zongji suddenly became happy, and Chen Mu hurriedly said, "It's not ......"

"You take Mr. Huang home first, since your father is gone, you have to ask your mother's consent, isn't that the truth?"

Fang Zongji nodded quickly and said, "Yes, what Mr. said is extremely true!" ”

With that, Fang Zongji left the shed with Huang Xing and Du Xingwu.

Looking at their backs, Chen Mu also had an indescribable emotion, blocked in his chest, which was very unpleasant.

He is finally going to start accepting apprentices, and this first big apprentice is actually such an identity background.

With such a character and virtue, Chen Mu is indeed very satisfied, but his maturity is also distressing, under the background of such a big era, even a famous family like the Fang family has suffered such changes, and Fang Zongji, who should have been clothed and fed, has matured early.

How miserable should it be to be an ordinary desperate person?

Shu Dong's death made Chen Mu feel resistant, and he finally realized why Huang Xing, Yang Zhaochun and others wanted to carry out revolution.

Looking at Fang Zongji now, Chen Mu is even more convinced of such an idea.

Maybe he won't be like Yang Zhaochun and Huang Xing and others, but he will definitely support them unswervingly!

If conditions permit, Chen Mu is also willing to join this ranks, and even pay all the price for it!

The appearance of this quasi-big disciple made Chen Mu suddenly undergo a qualitative change, maybe this is another level of Chen Mu's growth.

After becoming a master, it does not mean that you are more superior, but that your responsibility is more important!
