Volume 1 Ip Man Chapter 11: The Sole Favor
Time passes quickly, especially when you are obsessed with martial arts, and it passes even faster.
I don't know how time has passed since I practiced, Lin Hong only feels that his skills and boxing skills are improving rapidly, and at present, he can already fight against Ip Man for half an hour and lose a move.
Next, Lin Hong was completely 'abandoned' by Ip Man, and instead sat next to him and drank tea leisurely, letting him go to practice with the wooden man by himself.
In Wing Chun, the wooden pile can be practiced for a lifetime, even if you are proficient in boxing, you can still get some new ideas and ideas from it, which can be described as a magic weapon that you never get tired of practicing.
A month passed quickly, and Lin Hong became proficient in various Wing Chun techniques, such as spreading hands, even eliminating and fighting, Japanese character punching, and so on.
A lot of things have happened in this month, for example, Ip Man has accepted seven or eight more apprentices, and the teaching methods have changed a lot, and Lin Hong is no longer a 'sole pet'.
But every time he competes in martial arts, Lin Hong is a well-deserved 'big brother' level, even if he has a foundation in Western boxing, he can't withstand Lin Hong's extremely fast attack for a minute.
Therefore, every time he fights, he needs Master Ip Man to go out in person to test Lin Hong's strength.
Although in the teaching of Wing Chun, Lin Hong is not the 'sole pet', but in the care of his wife Zhang Yongcheng, Lin Hong is a well-deserved 'sole pet'.
"Ah asked, Xiaohong, come over for dinner." One evening, Zhang Yongcheng set up a table of dishes in a small room on the rooftop, and after the meal was full, the two of them were aroused.
Under the envious and jealous eyes of the senior brother, Lin Hong followed the master into the small room.
When he entered the door, Lin Hong looked at Huang Liang and several people with envy, and he couldn't bear it a little in his heart, so he called Huang Liang over, took out the money bag in his pocket, handed it to him, and said, "Please go and have a good meal, senior brothers." ”
Huang Liang took the money bag, his eyes were a little surprised, he couldn't see that this senior brother was still a rich master, and this money bag was so heavy.
This thought flashed through his heart, but then he thought that the senior brother actually trusted himself so much! I couldn't help but feel moved and excited again.
Of course, he wouldn't know at all that it wasn't that Lin Hong trusted him at all, but that Lin Hong didn't take the money to heart at all, and he didn't plan to take it back when he took it out.
"Go ahead, I'll explain it to Master, and I'll come back to practice after eating!" Lin Hong instructed, and then without waiting for Huang Liang to speak, he went to taste his master's craftsmanship with a smile.
Huang Liang took a group of people down to eat, while Lin Hong ate the big fish and meat in front of him.
With Lin Hong's existence, Ip Man's family has never left meat, after all, Zhang Yongcheng is pregnant and needs nutritional supplements, Ip Man and Lin Hong are martial arts practitioners, and eating some meat is also good for practice.
As a result, the Ip Man family, which has nothing to do with poverty and no money, was born.
During the meal, Zhang Yongcheng still asked Ip Man to collect the money, but Lin Hong raised his hand to grab the conversation, saying that he would collect the money for the master later.
Zhang Yongcheng glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "As long as you don't have to pay with your own money, I will agree." ”
Lin Hong's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment, he really wanted to do this just now, but he couldn't say it in his mouth, "How come, I will let them pay the money, don't worry, master." ”
In the end, Lin Hong glanced at his master Ip Man with a little weakness.
Zhang Yongcheng didn't see the interaction between the master and apprentice, but he guessed, "I know that your master and apprentice are broad-minded, but the principle is the principle, and it is natural to teach boxing and collect money." ”
Her words were said calmly and indifferently, but listening to Lin Hong's ears was tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day, deafening.
The meal was over, and after Huang Liang and the others came back, Lin Hong still adhered to the principle in Zhang Yongcheng's mouth, how much can be collected from everyone, in fact, it doesn't matter how much, it means that it should always be wanted.
Seeing this, Zhang Yongcheng was very satisfied and went home with his lunch box.
At this time, it was not yet late at night, so Zhang Yongcheng did not need a special escort to go home.
After she left, Ip Man and Lin Hong were intoxicated with teaching and learning boxing again, until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, when the door to the rooftop was locked.
This night, Lin Hong did not go with Ip Man, because he knew that Ip Man would have a very vulnerable side tonight, and he didn't want to see it, because it would make Master Ip Man very faceless.
Moreover, tonight, Lin Hong also has his own things to do.
He came to Huawu Tower and found Wang Zhide.
"Uncle Wang, are your sights arranged?"
"It's set up, and the advice you give is so useful! Now the entire market environment can be seen at almost a glance. ”
"Well, these eyes are not just monitoring the market." Lin Hong shook his head and smiled, and then said, "I need those eyes to help me look at someone." ”
"Who?" Wang Zhide was a little puzzled, could it be that the guy who didn't open his eyes provoked this little ancestor?
"Hong Zhennan!" Lin Hong sat on the sofa in Wang Zhide's office, took a sip of tea, and spit out a name.
"Huh?" Wang Zhide was stunned for a moment, but soon his face turned happy, "You're going to do it?" ”
"What?" Lin Hong was stunned, but soon understood again, "What are you kidding, what am I doing with him?" ”
"Then ...... you" Wang Zhide was suddenly puzzled.
"Now is not the time, you can do what I say." Lin Hong shook his head and did not tell Wang Zhide the truth.
I stayed in Huawu Tower for a while, and chatted with Li Wenqiang, who was the security captain here, for a while.
Li Wenqiang is more righteous, and unlike his brother, he is full of economy and ability, so in order to prevent him from becoming a gangster in the future, Lin Hong arranged for him to be a security captain in Huawulou and take care of some security matters.
He was quite happy to do it, anyway, these days, every time I saw him, he was smiling and very happy.
His group of little brothers naturally followed him to work as security guards, after all, this is also a serious job that can be said to others.
And there was a monthly salary, and the brothers were happy to do it.
The next day, after practicing martial arts for a while, Ip Man asked everyone to stop.
called Lin Hong and Huang Liang to him, and said to the two: "Ah Hong will go out with me later, and Ah Liang will take his senior brother to paste the propaganda poster." ”
"Yes, Master!" The two looked at each other, both puzzled, but they didn't ask.
So, the soldiers divided into two ways, Ip Man took Lin Hong to find Zhou Guangyao, and the three of them went to Wenhui Mansion together.
There is a newspaper office in Wenhui Building, which contains Ip Man's Foshan fellow, Liang Gen.
Liang Gen is the head of the newspaper society, and it is not too simple to arrange a person to work here.
That's right, Ip Man came here to find a job for Zhou Guangyao.
As for Lin Hong, he came to get to know people together, Zhou Guangyao had already introduced him to Ip Man before, and now he has introduced Liang Gen, and the three of them can be regarded as acquaintances.
The trivial matter of arranging work is not worth mentioning, it is worth mentioning that Lin Hong asked Liang Gen for a camera before leaving.
Everyone thought that he wanted to see it and finish the game, but they didn't care.
Liang Gen also specially got a new one for him, jokingly saying that as long as he took any good photos, he could sell them to the newspaper office for remuneration.
Lin Hong naturally agreed, and happily bought this camera.
Everything is over, Zhou Guangyao has also started the official construction, and Ip Man took Lin Hong back to the rooftop.
Back on the rooftop, all the brothers and sisters were there, but Huang Liang had not come back yet, and when I asked, I found out that Huang Liang had gone to a distant place to post posters, and it was estimated that he had not finished pasting them.
Everyone didn't care and continued to practice martial arts, only Lin Hong frowned slightly, and thought about it for a while, but he still didn't break the development of the plot.
At noon, after everyone finished eating, they had just started to practice for a while, and when they were wondering why Huangliang hadn't come back, three strangers walked onto the rooftop with a stream of seafood.
"Who is Ip Man?" The tone was not polite, but because there was no intention of making a move, everyone still stood still.
"I am! What's the matter? Ip Man sat on a small stool and shouted, and he didn't mean to get up.
The three of them didn't care, and said directly: "Your apprentice Huang Liang injured my brother, now in our hands, take the money to the fishing ground Li Hongji to ransom people." After speaking, he turned around and left, seemingly not afraid that Ip Man and the others would not come.
"Master!" Lin Hong, who was playing a wooden stake on the side, also stopped, turned his head to look at Ye Man, and shouted worriedly.
Ye Man picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked at Lin Hong and shook his head, "You don't care about this matter, I will deal with it!" ”
"But, Master......" Lin Hong wanted to say something.
But Ip Man interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "It's okay, I'll solve it." ”
Seeing that he was so resolute, Lin Hong clenched his fists, a little helpless, for the first time he felt that he had made a mistake by pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
After drinking a cup of tea, Ye Man stood up, straightened his coat, and said to the apprentices: "You practice hard, I'll go out for a while." After speaking, ignoring everyone's reactions, Shi Shiran left.
Lin Hong watched Ye Man's back disappear, was stunned for a while, and rushed downstairs.
"Hey, big brother! Where are you going? ”
"You guys don't care, practice hard!" Lin Hong shouted and went straight to Huawu Tower.
When I came to Huawu Building, I found Wang Zhide, "Uncle Wang, how many martial arts halls have settled in our Huawu Building at present?" ”
"Thirteen, all of them are some small martial arts halls that are not famous." Wang Zhide was a little puzzled, but he replied quickly.
"Shout them all, let them come with me!" Lin Hong commanded, and when he saw Wang Zhide turning around and about to go out, he added, "And call Li Wenqiang and them to fill the number." ”
"Good!" At the same time that Wang Zhide agreed, his figure had disappeared around the corner.
In less than five minutes, a group of people set off towards the location of Li Hongji in the fishing ground.
On the way, Lin Hong instructed Li Wenqiang, "You ask a brother to go to the newspaper to find Mr. Liang Gen, and say that there is big news to find him, and also, also call someone to call your brother over!" ”
When listening to the first half of the sentence, Li Wenqiang was very excited, Brother Hong is going to do something!
But when he heard the second half of the sentence, all that left his face was, 'Ah, no!' 'The look of incredibleness.
The time spent by a group of people on the road didn't take long, but Lin Hong didn't know how long Ip Man could last!
When Lin Hong was worried, Ip Man had already come to the location of the fishing ground, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Hongji's stall at a glance.
