Chapter 2: Martial Arts Hall
The next day, Yuan Dou arrived at the school gate an hour earlier than the agreed time. At this time, Yuan Dou leaned against the big tree at the entrance of the school and thought about it. The autumn morning was blowing a slightly biting cold wind, and there was no warmth from the morning sun, and Yuan Dou leaned against the big tree to avoid the cold wind.
"Yuan Dou, this way, this way" The voice from the voice broke Yuan Dou's reverie, and Lian Yan stepped on the brisk pace to Yuan Dou's side.
"Have you been waiting for a long time? It must have been cold this morning, are you alright? Seeing that Yuan Dou's face was a little pale, Lian Yan was concerned.
Yuan Dou looked at Lian Yan, thinking that he would be able to go to the martial arts hall soon, and his excitement dispelled the coldness. "It's okay, it's okay, it's not cold at all, let's go, take me to your gym" Yuan Dou was a little impatient.
"Wait a minute, I haven't had breakfast in the morning to find you! Don't you show it? Lian Yan said with a smile.
Yuan Dou had no choice but to take Lian Yan to find a place with a lot of family to eat.
Seeing that Lian Yan finished eating early, Yuan Dou said, "Can you take me there now?" ”
Lian Yan replied, "Let me digest it after eating, and let me sit for another 2 minutes." ”
"It makes sense, I'm speechless." Yuan Dou's anxious mood also slowly calmed down.
Looking at Yuan Dou's expression, Lian Yan snickered in her heart and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the gym." ”
It took a long time, about two hours of walking, and finally arrived in front of the gym. The gate of the gym is 5 meters high, and it looks like it was made of pure copper. There were two lion heads on the door, each with a thick iron ring in its mouth. There is a plaque hanging on the door, on which are written three big characters: One in the world, domineering side leakage. Looking at the dojo hall surrounded by a courtyard wall that is slightly lower than the main gate, it feels like a castle. Yuan Dou was stunned.
"My gym is good, isn't it?" Lian Yan said proudly.
Yuan Dou nodded stupidly, not yet recovering from his surprised state.
At this time, Lian Yan called "this way", and then entered the gym through the small door on the right side. Yuan Dou glanced at the plaque on the gate and followed in.
As soon as they left, they saw many young people practicing, and Yuan Dou looked at them with anticipation in his heart. At this time, Lian Yan looked at the man who looked like the leading coach and said, "Senior brother, where is my father?" ”
The leading man turned around and smiled bitterly, "Little senior sister, is the master drinking tea in the backyard?" Watching him call the little girl who was much younger than himself, Yuan Dou could feel the bitterness in his heart.
Lian Yan turned around and said to me, "His name is Chen Bin, and he is my father's last apprentice, so I am her senior sister." Do you understand? ”
Yuan Dou nodded, feeling a lot of pressure.
"Come with me, don't look around" Lian Yan led me into the inner courtyard.
After a big circle, Lian Yan finally led me to her father.
I saw a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in the gazebo by the fish pond. He was tall, and his loose practice clothes couldn't hide his burly figure. Sitting there like a mountain, majestic and domineering.
"Dad, I found you an apprentice." Lian Yan said in a completely different tone than usual. The tone is full of coquettishness, which is completely different from the usual tone of the eldest sister.
"Hehe, woman," Yuan Dou complained in his heart.
"Good daughter, what's wrong? Why are you trying to find me an apprentice? Lian Yan's father said in a soft tone. As he spoke, he glanced at Yuan Dou.
Yuan Dou suddenly felt a burst of excitement, feeling that he was being targeted by a tiger. Unconsciously took half a step back.
"It's nothing, I see that Yuan Dou is surprised, he is a martial arts wizard in the world, so I will show you." Lian Yan said and winked at me secretly.
At this time, Lian Yan's father looked at me again, looking everything about me up and down. Yuan Dou felt that he was being peeled off layer by layer, and he didn't have the feeling of choosing someone to devour just now, but he also felt very uncomfortable. This time, Yuan Dou clenched his fists, trying to overcome the uncomfortable feeling. It wasn't until Yuan Dou was sweating profusely that he withdrew his gaze.
Yuan Dou breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lian Yan and her father nervously.
"It's okay, but it's not enough to be my apprentice," Lian Yan's father said
At this time, Yuan Dou said eagerly, "I am willing to do anything, I am very diligent, please accept me as an apprentice." Saying that, Yuan Dou looked at Lian Yan's father firmly with a pleading gaze.
Looking at Yuan Dou's serious expression, Lian Yan's father froze for a moment, as if he was stuck in memory. At this time, Lian Yan stepped forward and pulled down her father's clothes, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and she looked at him without blinking. looked at Lian Yan, then at Yuan Dou, and stood up.
"My name is Lian Zhan, and I am the head of this martial arts hall, for the sake of your serious appearance, I will give you a chance." As he spoke, he glanced at Lian Yan. It is clearly said to look at Lian Yan's face and give your kid a chance.
At this time, Lian Yan looked at me with a smile, as if her expression just now was all hallucination.
Lian Zhan said a little helplessly: "You saw all those people outside, right?" Those are just the sponsorship of the martial arts hall, as long as you pay the money, you can learn, and what you learn is some superficial kung fu to strengthen the body. The only ones who can really learn real kung fu are a few of my apprentices. Do you want to learn real kung fu? ”
Yuan Dou immediately nodded and said, "I'm willing to learn real kung fu." ”
"Well, it's hard to practice martial arts, can you bear it?" Lien Zhan asked.
"I can endure any hardship, no matter what challenges I have." Yuan Dou said confidently.
"Alright then, I'll give you a chance. Are you Lian Yan's classmate? Lien Zhan asked.
"My name is Yuan Dou, and I am Lian Yan's tablemate."
"Okay, you go back and talk to your family, and stay here in the future. During the day, he went to school with Lian Yan, and practiced in the martial arts hall at night. Go back and prepare," said Lian Zhan and left.
"Thank you so much this time, Lian Yan," Yuan Dou thanked.
"Little things, if my father doesn't agree with me, I can still find my grandfather, she loves me the most." Lian Yan looked proud.
After saying goodbye to Lian Yan, Yuan Dou walked on the way home thinking about how to tell his mother about his decision to embark on the path of martial arts. Not only that, but you also have to live in a martial arts hall. Thinking about Yuan Dou makes me feel a headache. What if my mother is against it?
Yuan Dou is an obedient and sensible good boy at home, and knows his mother's hardships. Usually at home, I rarely make my mother angry. This time, Yuan Dou's decision has not yet been passed with his mother. According to the mother's temper will definitely be upset and even opposed. What should I do? Yuan Dou scratched his head and came up with a foolproof plan.
Before I knew it, I had walked to the door. Yuan Dou's family conditions are not very good, he lives in an old house, and there is a small yard at the door. There are some greens planted in the yard, and the greens are usually eaten in the yard, and my mother said that it is not as good as planting them herself. I know that the food in the large supermarket is still very healthy, but it is a bit expensive, and my mother is reluctant. Thinking of his mother's hard work, Yuan Dou didn't know how to speak. It feels very uncomfortable to let my mother worry about Yuan Dou, and for no reason I blame my father for dying early.
When I entered the house, I saw that my mother had prepared a table of dishes and was waiting for me to come back. Yuan Dou didn't know how to speak, and silently ate the contents of the bowl.
Mother looked at Yuan Dou and felt that Yuan Dou was a little strange today, and asked, "Xiao Yuan, what's wrong?" Something unhappy? ”
Yuan Dou raised his head and made up his mind. Be prepared to be honest with your mother.
"Mom, I want to learn martial arts," Yuan Dou said firmly.
The mother paused, stood up silently, turned around and walked into the room. After a while, the sound of a mother's quiet crying came from the room.
Yuan Dou suddenly felt as if he had made a wrong decision. After struggling, Mototo walked into the room.
Seeing his mother sitting on the bed holding a photo and crying quietly, Yuan Dou ran over and hugged his mother, and said in a choked voice, "Mom, I was wrong, I don't study." Don't be sad. ”
My mother slowly stopped her tears, looked at me with red eyes, and said, "Xiao Yuan, do you know how your father died?" While stroking my head, he asked me with a photo, and Yuan Dou shook his head. Then, the mother slowly talked about the father.
His father's name is Yuan Feng, and his mother's name is Zhou Wenqiong. As you can see from the photo, her mother was beautiful when she was young, and her father was also in his prime. I heard from my mother that my father died when I was born, and my father was also a martial artist, and he was still very powerful. On the day Yuan Dou was born, his father happened to go out, and then he never returned, and his father's friend brought back the news of his father's death. I heard from my father's friend that Yuandou's father was outnumbered in a battle with others and sacrificed himself to save him.
Looking at the way my mother looks now, the calluses on her hands, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her fair skin. You can vaguely see the elegance of youth. Looking at his mother, who was heartbroken for me, Yuan Dou made a promise, "Mom, I will not leave you, I will always be by your side." ”
The mother shook her head and said, "Unconsciously, Xiao Yuan has grown up, and my mother doesn't want to tie Xiao Yuan to me." It's predictable that you'll want to take such a path, after all, you're Kaede's son. It's just that my mother is not ready, and she is a little sad for a while! You have to remember that no matter where you are on earth in the future, you have your home and a mother who loves you at home. In his mother's words, Yuan Dou silently hugged his mother.
"No, I won't forget," Mototo said as if he were vows.
"I'll always be there for my mother." Yuan Dou said.
Mother smiled and said nothing. Then he let go of Yuan Dou and took out a locked box from under the bed.
