Chapter 11: Apprentice Steve
"Guns? I have that too. ”
As soon as Chen Mo's voice fell, two pistols instantly appeared in his hands, and before the few people on the other side could react, Chen Mo fired his two guns in succession, "Bang!" Bang! "Bang!" "Bang!" ……
A series of fierce gunshots rang out in close and short bursts, and all the gunmen on Johnny's side froze in pain with their arms folded, and all the guns in their hands fell to the ground.
In just a moment, the situation in the field was reversed again.
Placing the pistol with white smoke on the coffee table in front of him casually, Chen Mo glanced at Johnny, who was holding his arms and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Looks like I'm up to me here, don't you think?" Chen Mo asked playfully.
"Yes...... Yes! Johnny felt that his back was soaked in cold sweat, he was obviously a fucking martial arts practitioner, how could his marksmanship be so perverted, he didn't see it clearly just now, and all his people were shot.
The afterglow swept over the pistol on the coffee table, and Johnny, who was completely shocked by Chen Mo, still didn't dare to die again.
"Then you can go, don't send it." Chen Mo waved his hand and said.
It seemed that Chen Mo didn't expect him to let go so easily, Johnny reacted after a moment, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to flee and left.
"Pavilion master, just let them go?" When they were pointed at the gun just now, Huang Quan and the others also broke out in a cold sweat, but they didn't flinch, and Chen Mo was quite satisfied with their performance.
Chen Mo knew what Huang Quan meant, and was worried that they might come back to retaliate, "It's not time yet." Chen Mo picked up the coffee that Old Albert had just poured and took a sip gently.
Old Albert was the calmest in the audience except for Chen Mo, except for Johnny who took two steps forward when he pulled out his gun and wanted to block in front of Chen Mo, but was stopped by Chen Mo, and stood quietly behind Chen Mo with a coffee pot the rest of the time.
Outside the martial arts hall, Steve watched a group of gangsters rush into the martial arts hall, worried about the safety of the people inside, and was about to call the police, after a noisy fight, the inside returned to calm.
Steve was a little overwhelmed when a dense and brief burst of gunfire rang out, making Steve's face change and he thought that the gang had shot and killed.
Soon a group of people retreated in embarrassment and quickly left the place. Steve hurriedly ran towards the martial arts hall, and with apprehension, he put his hand on the gate that had always been very mysterious in his heart.
The hidden door was easily pushed, and it seemed that they were in a hurry to leave, and even forgot to close the door of the "crime scene", and Steve's bad feeling became even stronger.
Steve, who was worried and entangled in his heart, imagining all kinds of possible scenarios, was stunned the moment the door was fully opened, there were no corpses all over the ground, and there was no blood flowing everywhere, and the people in the room were talking about something around the sofa intact, and when they heard him open the door, several people turned their heads in unison and looked at him with strange eyes.
Looking at the scattered blood stains on the ground at the door, Steve reacted, he was afraid that he had made an oolong, and the mafia just now was not in a hurry to leave the crime scene, but was beaten by a few people in front of him and fled!
Steve, who had figured it out, couldn't help but blush under the gaze of Chen Mo and the others, "That, I'...... I just saw ...... The door is not closed......"
Steve didn't know how to explain it, he broke into someone else's house rashly, he couldn't say that he thought they were all killed, and the expression on his face was very wonderful for a while.
"Come in." Chen Mo looked at the thin figure at the door, the expression on his face was a little embarrassed, but he still couldn't hide the kindness and integrity in his bones, if others had already hid far away, they would never come to this muddy water.
"You saw those people coming in and heard gunshots, and you were afraid that something would happen to us, right?" Chen Mo helped Steve tell the truth.
"Yes...... Yes, sir. Steve felt relieved and glanced at Chen Mo gratefully.
"Come and sit. Eddie, get him a cup. Chen Mo invited.
Steve couldn't go, so he had to walk in. Only then did he have the opportunity to take a good look at this mysterious martial arts hall, the independent practice room was covered with thick floor mats, there was a small ring in the corner of the hall, the spacious hall was paved with solid wood floors, and several weapon racks were neatly placed against the wall, which were full of various long and short weapons, most of which Steve had never seen.
Only a set of sofa coffee tables is placed in the window area, and the layout of the entire martial arts hall is very simple and tidy, and it is not as magnificent as Steve imagined.
Steve waited for a long time before he sat down in front of Chen Mo, and the white-haired old butler poured him a cup of coffee, then retreated with a few other people to clean up the hall messed up by the mafia.
"Chen Mo, a native of Huaxia, is the owner of this martial arts hall." Chen Mo raised his glass and motioned for Steve to taste it too.
"Steve Rogers, from Brooklyn, an ordinary worker." Steve didn't feel inferior because of his status as a worker, took a deep breath, let go of the embarrassment just now, and Steve, who calmed down, seemed neither humble nor arrogant, and only after introducing himself did he pick up the coffee in front of him and taste it, and the whole person relaxed.
It's like the Captain America in my memory.
"You don't look like an ordinary worker." Chen Mo said with a smile.
"I just don't know how to be afraid." Steve thought of his thin body and said with some self-deprecation.
"We have an old saying in China, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road." Chen Mo's tone was gentle, like a persuasive elder.
"There are many people who are powerful, but there are very few people who really have courage, and it is the most important thing for a strong person."
"Do you think the people you saw outside just now are powerful?" Chen Mo raised his hand and asked.
Steve thought back to the mafia, "They're all strong, and they're outnumbered. ”
"But they were defeated, and in the face of people who were stronger than them, they didn't even have the courage to resist, and they ran away like cowards, so they were all weak. And you, with a brave heart, so in my opinion, you are stronger than them. Chen said as he looked at Steve genuinely.
"But my body..." In fact, Steve didn't want to admit that he was a weakling, so he fought again and again.
Chen Mo waved his hand, "The body is external, you can become stronger through exercise, the important thing is that you have the courage to fight in the face of enemies stronger than yourself, and you can be fearless of life and death in the face of desperate situations, and never give up!" ”
Steve's eyes lit up, isn't this what he is talking about, it seems that he is not useless. Steve's desire to become stronger couldn't help but get stronger.
"So, can I learn from you?" Mustering up his courage, Steve asked Chen Mo with some apprehension.
Chen Mo nodded affirmatively, "Of course, you are very talented. ”
"But I don't have any money." Steve said with some frustration.
"I still lack an apprentice here, in addition to learning martial arts, I also have to be responsible for hygiene and chores. The salary is not much, $50 a month, what do you think. Chen Mo didn't give him a high salary all of a sudden, accepting him can be said to value his talent, and giving too much will only make people suspicious.
"Really? Thank you, I will definitely work hard! Steve said excitedly.
The salary here is a lot more than he used to work in the factory, and he can also learn martial arts and become strong, Steve feels that his life has a new beginning, and he is full of gratitude to Chen Mo in his heart, and secretly vows to work and study hard to live up to Chen Mo's trust.
After Steve left, Chen Mo finished the last sip of coffee in the cup and got up from the sofa.
"Eddie, I'll go out."
