When I got off the bus, the sky was getting dark, and the crimson sea of clouds was slowly replaced by darkness.

The street lights on both sides have been lit, and there are not many people getting off the bus, it is on the edge of the green forest, far away from the center of the town, and the north is surrounded by rolling hills and hills, far less than the flat and open east of the town, and there are many people living in the east of the town, which is mostly farmers who grow crops or raise livestock, and here in the northwest of the town are mostly people who rely on the mountains to make a living.

Walking along the road, Gong Bing soon came to the entrance of the green forest, turned into the side of the path, and not far away was a community of dozens of families who made a living from logging.

Dozens of two- to three-story huts sit not far from the entrance to the Green Forest, around the center of two or three six- or seven-storey buildings, and on the forest side are several lumber yards, filled with freshly cut and processed timber, various booms and cutting machines, and a large area of tin sheds, the community is called Eddington on the official map.

At this moment, when Gong Bing stepped into the community of Eddington, two trucks full of workers and logging tools were driving out of the forest.

These lumberjack uncles in white vests and blue jeans were all muscular and enthusiastic, and when Gong Bing asked them about the address of the martial arts hall, they immediately pointed him in the direction and even wanted to show him the way.

After refusing them, Gong Bing walked in the direction they pointed, crossed the smoke curling in Eddington, walked into the forest, climbed a short slope paved with long blue-gray stones, and walked in the lush forest for about ten minutes, Gong Bing finally saw this forest martial arts hall far away from the city.

The antique appearance of the martial arts hall, such as the eaves of the wings of birds, the roof tiles mottled with green moss after the sun and rain, and the red pillars with old paint and peeling paint, make Gong Bing feel more intimate.

Two paper lanterns hung at both ends of the gate, emitting a warm yellow light, as if guiding the dark traveler.

An oriental charm permeated the building, Gong Bing came to the door, and the plaque on the door reads - Luo Clan Martial Arts Hall.

Roche Martial Arts Hall? And the writing is in Chinese, it should be called Xia Guowen.

The door of the martial arts hall was hidden, and there were faint voices from inside.

Gong Bing pushed the door and entered, behind the door was a shadow wall, and after bypassing the shadow wall, he saw a small courtyard, with a stone table and cylindrical stone pier chairs placed in the corner of the courtyard.

Behind the courtyard was a hall for receiving foreign guests, and the hall with wooden tables and chairs was empty, and Gong Bing could hear voices coming from behind the hall.

Gong Bing said hello loudly.

Immediately, a girl wearing a gray practice uniform, about thirteen or fourteen years old, walked out from the back of the house, with long black hair tied into a ponytail hanging down the back of her head, revealing a smooth forehead, about one meter and five meters tall, with a yellow-skinned Oriental face, with bright big eyes looked very cute.

Is this the girl you met at the bar not long ago? It turns out that she is from the martial arts hall, well, if you want to come to Green Town, there will probably be Orientals here.

What is this called, well, fate.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" The woman's voice was soft, and her puzzled eyes blinked.

"I'm here to learn from a teacher." Gong Bing said as he raised his fists with each other.

"Really? Then come with me, quick, and I'll take you to Father. When the woman heard Gong Bing's words, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly led Gong Bing inside.

This girl was in a hurry, and she moved before she could talk about it in detail.

"By the way, my name is Luo Xiaodie, and my father Luo Dakai is the owner here, what is your name, how did you think of coming here?" The woman introduced herself and spoke as she walked.

Because there are a lot of martial arts halls in Green Town, their Luo Clan Martial Arts Hall has always been low-key, except for the lively for a while when they first came to Green Town to open more than ten years ago, and they didn't do any more publicity after that, so their reputation among ordinary people is not obvious, and Luo Xiaodie rarely encounters such a person who comes to apprentice.

"I have been very interested in oriental culture since I was a child, and I have heard that there are magical martial arts in the east, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to learn." Gong Bing smiled and replied, "My name is Gabriel. Taylor, a native of Greentown, is a sophomore in high school this year. ”

Across the hall, the two of them came to the back yard, which was not much larger than the front yard, and at this moment gathered a group of children of different ages.

Among them, there were about six or seven children about six or seven years old, all wearing gray practice clothes, holding their breath in a corner of the courtyard, and a group of people about eleven or twelve years old were boxing in unison.

In front of them was a man in his twenties and less than thirty years old, with the same short black hair, an oriental face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes and a tall figure, full of charm, if there were female compatriots from the earth here at this moment, they would definitely stare at the stars and shout: "Ah! Long-legged Oba! ”

This man seems to be the martial arts master here.

As she passed by the group, Luo Xiaodie shouted, "Brother Tiger, I want another junior brother!" ”

Hearing this, the man just nods to Fluttershy and Gong Bing before continuing his instruction.

Looks like a serious person.

The two of them went to the main house, which was located at the end, climbed the stairs, pushed through the lattice wooden door, and stepped in.

Behind the door is also a spacious hall, with old mahogany furniture neatly arranged on the wooden floor, potted plants in the corners, and a slightly imposing splashed landscape painting hanging on the wall facing the entrance.

At this time, a silver-haired old man was sitting on the main seat, wearing a somewhat gray black practice uniform, holding a book and reading and drinking a little wine.

The smell of golden orchid fruit wine wafted through the room, giving the air a sweet taste.

The silver-haired old man felt complacent, shaking his head and looking at the book in his seat, with the identity of the master of the martial arts hall, Gong Bing inexplicably felt like he had met a peerless master, and then his eyes moved to the book in the old man's hand.

The cover was "The domineering president fell in love with me", Gong Bing's face couldn't help but darken, he looked at the table next to the old man, there were still two books stacked there, and the cover of the first one was "Lonely Empty Garden".

Gong Bing suddenly had a messy feeling in the wind in his heart, and the abruptness of the painting style was chaotic.

"Dad, someone came to apprentice." Luo Xiaodie didn't notice Gong Bing's face, she was used to the silver-haired old man's situation, and she stepped forward and shouted into the old man's ear.

Wouldn't it still be a behind-the-ear, Gong Bing secretly thought, the impression of the old man's peerless master was shaky in his heart.

"Fluttershy, what did you say?" Half a ring, the old man reacted.

"Dad, someone came to learn martial arts." Luo Xiaodie said loudly again.

The old man nodded, removed the headphones, closed the book in his hand, and raised his head to look at Gong Bing.

Fortunately, it's not behind the ear, it's just listening to songs.

The old man stared at Gong Bing for a while, the other party sat on the chair with an uncertain look on his face, Gong Bing didn't know what was special about himself that could make the other party look at it for so long, but in this serious atmosphere, he didn't know whether to ask for a while, just when he was a little at a loss, the other party's mouth finally opened.

"This girl is very handsome." The old man shook his head as if puzzled.

"Ahem, Dad, you better put on your reading glasses quickly, they're boys." Luo Xiaodie's face was slightly red, and she seemed a little embarrassed, and immediately picked up a pair of reading glasses from the table next to her and handed them to the old man.
