Chapter Twenty-Eight: Clouds and Mud

St. Mary's Hospital, Hong Kong

Li Yan, who had no serious role in three chapters, finally raised his eyebrows and returned to his rhythm again.

The Kowloon Walled City, which has been chaotic for a few days, is about to calm down, and now there are no losers standing in the field, and Liansheng has replaced Wu Haoxi, and the interests of Hong Kong's large and small associations are evenly touched, and the Kowloon Walled City has vacated a lot of business, and even Tai Sui has implemented her usual principle: "Don't mess with the old lady." ”

Everybody's happy......

Li Yan was holding a fruit basket in his hand, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the ward, he heard Hua Yijiu's voice.

"Xiao Zhou, I really didn't know about this matter in advance, Brother Le suddenly came to the city that day and said that he wanted to see you box, of course I was happy, and then I saw that you were knocked down by that one on the street, and I was angry for a while to make trouble in Fuyi, I didn't know that Brother Le had already arranged it."

Xiao Zhou on the hospital bed was pale and his eyelids drooped.

"Brother Jiu, I don't mean anything else, I also worshiped Guan Gong before entering the hall, I won't be suspicious of my brother, now, Brother Jiu, you tell me, I will believe it, you say you don't know Prince Le's plan, I won't ask again."

Hua Yi Jiu pestle on crutches, what else to say, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Yan who was gently knocking on the glass at the door.

"Pick that star, you still dare to come?" Hua Yijiu's eyes were red.

Li Yan walked in and placed the fruit basket on the table. While unhurriedly getting a stool for himself, he said to Hua Yijiu.

"Brother Jiu, there is a debtor who is wronged, your leg was broken by the red ghost, and Xiao Zhou was injured in Xu Tianci's hands. On the night of the accident in the Kowloon Walled City, I spent the night outside the walled city climbing the vault (the name of the small steel ball). No matter how you calculate it, this account shouldn't be on my head, right? ”

"You are Tai Sui......

"Tai Sui is Tai Sui, I am me, I am at best a boxer who eats in her boxing ring, exchanging my life for money."

Flower shirt ninety-one speech. Li Yan continued.

"Brother Jiu, if you don't mind, let's let the two of us practice martial arts stay alone for a while?"

From the moment Li Yan came in, Xiao Zhou's eyes stayed on him, and he nodded at Hua Xianjiu when he heard the words, Hua Xianjiu glared at Li Yan, and still went out with a tiger face.

Li Yan picked up the fruit knife on the table, skillfully peeled the apple, and asked, "How is the injury, there is nothing wrong with it?" ”

"Seek medical attention in time, the arm is back, it may hurt when it rains on a cloudy day in the future, and it will be okay to lie in bed for half a year."

Li Yan listened quietly, Xiao Zhou said easily, but Li Yan understood that Xiao Zhou's hand that had been broken once could not be used effectively, and most of his kung fu had been gone, which was considered a waste.

As he peeled the apple, he said, "Come out, as soon as this is over, you will pay off all the favors you owe them." ”

Xiao Zhou smiled weakly: "You came this time just to tell me this?" ”

"Yes!" Li Yan said it extremely hard, and he unconsciously exerted his strength in his hands, and the long apple peel fell into the trash.

"I'm like this now, it doesn't make a difference whether I retreat or not." Xiao Zhou could still laugh at this time, "It's good to care about yourself." ”

Li Yan handed the apple over, and Xiao Zhou shook his head slightly.

"If I can't digest it, my intestines will rot, and I can only hang glucose water now."

Li Yan brought the apple to his mouth, his face expressionless, but he took a heavy bite.

The two were relatively silent.

In the final analysis, Li Yan and Zhou Wei'an did not have a deep friendship at all, and neither of them was a shallow and deep character, so the atmosphere suddenly became dull. There was only the sound of Li Yan silently munching on apples in the air.

After a long while, Li Yan stood up.

"Let's go, you have a good rest."

"Master Li."

He walked to the door, and Xiao Zhou behind him suddenly stopped Li Yan.

"Thank you."

Li Yan paused, and then walked out of the room without looking back.

……

Out of the room, a little twilight on Li Yan's body also dissipated, and Pingshui met, all guests from other places, the difficulty of closing the mountain, who is sad and lost? Xiao Zhou withdrew, but he was still on the field.

Hua Yijiu, who was clubbing two crutches, lit a cigarette in the hallway,

"Sir, you can't smoke in the hospital." A nurse in white rubber-soled shoes walked up.

Hua Yijiu let out a long breath and glared at the nurse, finally snuffing out the cigarette. He saw Li Yan come out, walked over with a cane, and shouted at Li Yan, "Are you talking to Xiao Zhou?" ”

Li Yan didn't answer, but said straight to the point: "Brother Jiu, I have something I want to ask you for help. ”

"Can I help?" Hua Yi Jiu laughed angrily: "You have a fever and burn your brain, right?" Am I helping Tai Sui's people? ”

Li Yan smiled, and he helped Hua Yijiu sort out his shirt. said: "I have spoken, Tai Sui is Tai Sui, I am me, I have been in Hong Kong for less than a month, I just eat mixed rice, Tai Sui, or Liansheng, I don't want to stand on the side." Brother Jiu is in charge of the entire district, and he will not be like those old Sijiu who only know how to be ruthless, they can't see it clearly, and they are blinded by bullshit and righteousness, and they deserve to be played around. ”

In the end, Li Yan's tone was teasing.

Hearing this, Hua Yijiu calmed down a lot: "Even so, I have no reason to help you." ”

Li Yan lowered his head and sniffed, and said to Hua Yijiu in a low voice: "Today, he and Liansheng's restaurant will make peace with the head wine, and make amends to Tai Sui for Prince Le, after tonight, Prince Le can go home and sleep well." ”

"You want to say it?"

Li Yan remembered Yu Shu's words at the banquet today, and said quietly: "The dividends that Heliansheng gave to other clubs, including Tai Sui's share. ”

The nine pupils of the flower shirt are one: "You talk about it?" ”

It's done!

Li Yan didn't speak again, just looked at Hua Yijiu with a smile.

Hua Yijiu suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked coldly, "What do you want me to help?" ”

"I want Brother Jiu to help me find something, and besides, I want to talk to Prince Le."

"the hell."

"It's so simple, a piece of paper."

……

Kowloon, Wing Chun Guoshu Museum, Wing Chun Guoshu Museum, No. 2 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon.

Xu Tianci sat uneasily on the sidelines, watching his brothers practice boxing.

An old man sat across from him, a chessboard with black and white letters in between.

"God, you have to concentrate when playing chess."

The corners of the old man's mouth are always habitually glanced downward, and he looks very stern.

Xu Tianci pursed his lips, twisted the sunspot, and fell word by word.

The old man shook his head, and as soon as the white characters fell, he gradually forced the sunspot into a corner.

"Looking ahead and ignoring the future, boxing is like this, playing chess is also like this, there is no growth at all."

Xu Tianci stuck out his tongue and did not speak.

"I heard that you went to the ring and injured a master who played Wensheng Boxing very badly. Looks like he's getting into trouble. “

Xu Tianci looked at the chessboard, and said while falling: "Grandpa, he also caused a lot of trouble back then. “

"Stinky boy, I'm still counting up."

The old man laughed and cursed, paused, and said, "Don't go any further." “

Xu Tianci was silent, and pinched a few sunspots in his fingers.

"You talk about going to the ring and having no grudges about life and death, but some people go to the ring to make a living, and these people die in the ring and don't complain. But you came to the stage for the sake of spirit, and you died in the ring, which is not worth it. ”

"Grandpa."

Xu Tianci scratched his head, and while playing against the old man, he said,

"I have been practicing boxing for more than ten years, and I never know why I practice martial arts and strengthen my body? Defend the country? Why do we always have to guard and always defend? Why is it that when we practice Chinese martial arts, we are always the one who is being challenged? Why wait for someone to come to the door and insult you by your name, so that we wear caftan and fight back slowly? Why do we have to wait for people to put the sign of the sick man of East Asia on our heads, so that we desperately try our best to say that we are not allowed to insult Chinese martial arts, so as to sensationalize? Why can't I take the initiative to promote my kung fu, I'm better than you, why don't I fight? Why can't you kick your pavilion? Kick until the whole of Hong Kong knows my name, kick until they are afraid when they hear the word Wing Chun, and kick until they don't dare to chew their tongues anymore. ”

Xu Tianci said softly and quickly, but his pupils were slightly red.

The old man sighed, not knowing what to say for a while, just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your age. Still stepping on the clouds. ”

Xu Tianci laughed: "Grandpa, I'm only nineteen years old, I can't bury my face in the mud early, right?" So saying, he gave another son.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and as the word Tianci fell, the originally peaceful and stable situation was instantly torn apart, and Xu Tianci's fierce fighting style actually revealed a bit of a compelling aura.

The old man looked at the chessboard for a long time, looked at the smiling immature face in front of him, and suddenly felt that he had never really understood this child.

"Master, I won." Xu Tianci smiled and showed his tiger teeth.

The lips of the half-life old man trembled slightly, and there were three points of relief in his heart, three points of sourness, and four points of spiciness. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said:

"If you fold, don't come to me."

"Both on the boxing ring," Xu Tianci's words were like a nail driven into the ground.

"No resentment in life and death!"
