Chapter 8: The Beginning
The rain hit the balcony, the wet and cold air squeezed into the room, the sound of the water in the bathroom stopped abruptly, Xia Yi tightened the faucet and walked out, the fat man fell asleep on the side of the bed with a beer bottle, and occasionally dreamed of the name of Xiaohua in his snoring.
The rain was dripping in the darkness.
Xia Yi looked outside, dried his hands, and picked up the things he had prepared in advance, and the coffee table was full of kitchen knives, wooden sticks, fruit knives, bricks, and benches...... Something that can be seen on weekdays.
When I held the handle of the kitchen knife, I was sure that I could cut all the ingredients, but as my eyes flushed slightly, all of a sudden, I slashed forward, and a bunch of plastic flowers inserted in the vase tore with a snap, hit the wall, and fell to the ground and shattered.
"...... broken bones. β
He looked at the kitchen knife in his hand glowing in the light, and the things that flashed in his mind before finally grabbed it, and remembered it a little, this is something that was not in the previous ability, and before that, even if he didn't use a kitchen knife, he would be very proficient, and he would never be as aggressive as he is now, in other words, it was like the ability was advanced.
"It seems that ruby is an amazing thing, what if you get it......"
In a soft whisper, the sleeping fat man was awakened by the sound of the vase breaking, and called in a daze: "Brother Yi" At the same time, Xia Yi changed a fruit knife, flipped his skillful fingertips, and walked to the balcony, there were lights in the residential building opposite, and the sound of beating his wife came from the house, and the originally broken windows covered the curtains.
Xia Yi threw it out casually.
The moment the rain line was cut by the knife, the splashed water droplets flew in all directions, the sound of tearing, the curtain on the opposite side directly broke a big mouth, the man who was originally holding a wooden stick suddenly had an empty hand, turned his head to look, only to see a fruit knife nailed to the wall with a wooden stick, he sat on the ground with a pale face, and woke up with a fright, looking at his wife opposite.
β...... You still said that you don't have a concubine, twice!"
The woman clutched her bruised arm and wiped away her tears.
"If you dare to hit me again in the future, I ...... I'll let him beat you too......"
The man cautiously glanced at the broken opening on the touching curtain, swallowed his saliva, and whispered: "Then don't let him shoot anything into the house again, if you don't allow it, you will die......"
The dim street lamp illuminated the rain line of the sky, and the wet and cold water stains splashed onto the balcony, Xia Yi roughly tested the possibility that the original ability could indeed be advanced, turned around and entered the room, the fat man opened his mouth slightly, and looked at him in dismay, "Old Yi...... When did you become a martial arts master?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't have a chance to tell you before. Xia Yizheng wanted to explain to him.
The fat man interrupted him, trotted over, and clapped his palms: "Hey, if I had known that my brother was a martial arts master, what waste would I collect, we could walk sideways everywhere!"
Xia Yi slapped his head on the door, crying and laughing, and then shook his head.
"Dezhu, you forgot that I was in prison, or deliberately hurt people, after coming out, I hit a wall everywhere to find a job, even if I want to be a security guard, no one dares to be a chef who chops vegetables...... Do you want to rely on your martial arts skills to do something that hurts heaven and reason? If you go in again, or kill someone, do you think I will have a chance to come out again?"
He pulled the fat man to sit down, took a sip of the half-bottle of beer on the ground, and said: "With the identities of you and me, do you run to a certain rich man to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger like those novels, attract attention, and then get the opportunity to soar into the sky? Don't think about it...... They're not stupid. What's more, what is the use of martial arts, it is not as safe as a gun. β
Xia Yi drank it in one go, the wine bottle fell to his feet, and continued:
β...... Do you think I don't want to make more money and like to live a poor life like this? Even buying a birthday present, he... Damn, I can only buy things for a few yuan, a thousand yuan a month, give the rent, water and electricity, and the rest is enough to eat every month, do I know how uncomfortable I felt when I took the lunch box from Xiaoyu's hand. β
The fat man reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother knows your difficulties, so let's talk about it, it's a big deal that I will share the money I save every month, except for a part of Xiaohua, and the rest will be shared equally with you, and if you eat less, you will lose weight......"
He paused abruptly at this point, slammed the bed board, and took out his mobile phone in his pocket.
"Lao Yi, I'm him... Damn the pig's head, I almost forgot that there was this stubble. β
opened a video APP, clicked on a video ad on the homepage, handed it to Xia Yi, and the smile was almost pulled to the back of his head on his round face, "That's it, this advertisement is everywhere on the Internet, TV, and newspapers, fighting matches, if you win, you'll be rich!"
The video is only a few minutes long and tells the story of an ad where the heroes of the four parties converge.
Xia Yi roughly understood the event, not everyone can sign up, but there must be a formally registered martial arts gym to recommend, and there can only be one place, both bare hands and weapons can participate, but he doesn't care about the content of the ladder promotion, but looks at the bonus that says as long as he gets the ranking.
The promotion reward in the county: 20,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan for the municipal champion, as long as you win the provincial level all the way, and the amount of the national competition is 1 million, if you finally get the Asian championship and attend the world competition, the prize money for the first place is more than millions.
Others dare not have the luxury, even if they can only win the municipal championship...... can be enough to change his current poor living situation.
Zhao Dezhu took the cup and poured him the last bit of wine left: "Lao Yi, aren't you working in a martial arts gym? As long as the hall owner gives you a quota, then we will really send itββ"
Xia Yi pursed his lips and was silent for a while, then raised his head and drank the wine.
"I'll go to work tomorrow. β
In the city in the night rain, the neon lights still flicker in the rain curtain.
Tsunego came out of a bar with the smell of alcohol, and the people next to him said goodbye to him drunkenly with the help of the escort girl.
"That old man's martial arts hall, you can find a way to get him, there can only be ...... in the south of the city Korean martial arts, do this well...... I'll give you my money. β
Chang Wu nodded, waved his hand and asked the escort girl to take the other party into the car and leave, he stood in the rain and watched the car go away, his nose let out a disdainful snort, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and connected the phone.
"Hey, Boss Li. β
Then, a hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone: "How's it going?"
"South Koreans are all sticks, and they didn't get Cheng Guangen. β
β...... Before, you said that the plan to find someone to secretly injure Cheng Guangen and then let the South Koreans go to the gym would succeed, but now you tell me that it didn't work?
"Boss Li, don't worry, even if I tear my face this time, I will personally let the revitalization martial arts hall completely decline. β
"Okay, I'll wait for your news, don't let me down. β
When the voice arrived, it hung up.
Chang Wu put away the phone and kicked it on the trash can next to him, denting a large piece of it.
He has actually been helping the big boss to do things, and recently the other party got the news that Chengnan was going to be developed, and he was ready to take a few pieces of land he fancied first, but the revitalization martial arts hall happened to be in the middle of the position, blocking the lot.
But the other party was not willing to spend a high price to acquire such a small piece of land, so he asked Chang Wu to find a way to get it, the latter hesitated again and again, and finally found a South Korean Lee Tae-aid, getting rid of a competitor, which was also very beneficial to the South Korean, and the two hit it off, and there was a kick that day.
And Chang Wu did this and discredited the Zhenxing Martial Arts Gym, after no one came back, the purchase price should save a lot of money, not only can the tide rise next to that boss, but also take a good amount of money from Li Taiyuan, and will not be regarded as a villain in front of Master and Ma Lin, which can be regarded as a strategy to kill three birds with one stone.
...... It's a pity that things went wrong in the end. Afterwards, Lee Tae-in went back and told him that the master was a man with a broom, and Tsunego naturally knew who the person with the broom was.
The angry figure watched the rain line fall into the stagnant water on the side of the street, causing ripples, and after a while, he took out his mobile phone again and dialed a number.
"Tomorrow morning, find twenty people and assemble them at my place. β
He said in a deep voice.
After dawn, the eight cars passed through the noisy morning and went to the Zhenxing Martial Arts Hall in Nancheng, at the same time, Xia Yi walked out of the unit building, stretched his waist, and said to the girl behind the counter opposite: "Good morning." β
"Brother Yi, good morning, too. β
Xiao Yu put the prepared lunch box in a bag and put it on the counter, "Don't look inside, my dad often runs outside these days and comes back in the middle of the night, and my aunt goes out early in the morning." β
"I didn't have to bring a lunch box this time, and I'll be back soon. β
Xia Yi pushed the lunch box back: "...... But keep it for me, and eat it at noon. β
As he spoke, he gently pinched the tip of the girl's nose, glanced at the ring hanging from the other party's chest, and turned to leave.
