Chapter 2: Dragon Swimming Shoal (4)

"No fighter training?"

"After the afternoon training, the fighters went back to eat. At 8 o'clock in the evening, there are fighters from the amateur team who come to train, and you can experience it with them. ”

Tang Long looked at his phone, six and fifteen. It's still early to train. So he asked, "Can I go in and have a visit?" ”

"Absolutely." The girl said.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Tang Long dragged his body with slow steps and walked in.

There are several large air conditioners installed in it, and at the same time blow out 28 degrees of cold air, so that the club becomes very cool, the whole club is very large, about more than 1,500 square meters, which is filled with the smell of disinfectant, mainly divided into training area, fitness area, office area, storage area, changing area, shower area and other parts.

The training area is divided into two, separated by a row of rectangular cement pillars, and several large red letters are written on the walls of the two areas, respectively. Between the pillars are large cylindrical sandbags, black pear balls of the VENUM brand, and several black speed balls, with a row of wooden benches in the middle of the two pillars. There is a row of mirrors on the wall facing the doorway in the training area, and the floor is covered with black and white non-slip sponge pads, which are clean.

There is a red square ring in the second training area, the ring has a steel pipe skeleton, and the table of the ring is covered with red non-slip leather. The four corners are equipped with four corner posts, and four wire ropes are tied to the corner posts. Each rope is wrapped with a red rubber tube from the table rope, and there are two corner pads installed under the corner pads, one red and one blue, and the backs of the corner posts on the corner pads are thick black PU leather, which is presumably filled with sponge, and a step is laid under each corner pad to facilitate the fighters to take the stage to fight.

On the wall behind the ring, there is a large calligraphy work framed in a picture frame - Tianxingjian, a gentleman who strives for self-improvement. On the left side of this calligraphy work are five large black characters of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith", and on the right side are pasted "loyalty, filial piety, honesty, shame and bravery". The fitness area is full of all kinds of fitness equipment, and there are two cabinets in the corner, on which colorful boxing gloves, leg guards, hand wrapping cloths, hand targets, foot targets, and waist targets are neatly and orderly......

An uncle in his fifties, bent over to mop the floor in the fitness area, his hair was gray, his face was full of beard, he was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of fat cotton and linen gray trousers. He saw Tang Long coming over, straightened up and held the mop and smiled at him and nodded, and Tang Long also nodded politely to him. At this moment, a man strode in through the open fire door in the fitness area. He is tall, 1.78 meters tall, wearing a black sleeveless T-shirt, black sports shorts, broad shoulders, strong body, and tendon meat.

The uncle also nodded to him, he looked ahead, ignoring the uncle. He saw that there was no one in the training area except Tang Long, so he turned around and asked the uncle, "Hey!" Where did the fighters go? ”

"Are you talking to me?" Uncle asked him.

"Can you stop talking nonsense? Talking to you, of course. The man in black said.

"What's the matter with them?" Uncle smiled.

"I heard that Pengqiang Fight Club is good, and I want to come over and learn from the fighters."

"After they finished training, they went back to eat."

"Is that a fighter from your club?" He pointed at Tang Long and said.

When Tang Long heard this, he looked at the man in black nervously, and then looked at the uncle.

"That's the people who came to visit the club."

"It's really disappointing, it's a huge restaurant, there is no boxer, and it's for nothing."

"If you want to compete, I can play with you." Uncle said.

"I'm a boxer, so I only fight with fighters, and I don't want an old cleaner to lie in the hospital and pay a whole bunch of medical bills! Old man, if you want to touch porcelain, you have found the wrong person, you should go to the local tyrants sitting in the BMW. The man said impatiently to the uncle.

The uncle was silent for two seconds, then looked into his eyes and said slowly: "Boxer is not only a title, but also an honor. Not everyone deserves to be called a fighter. Maybe you think you're a fighter, but I don't think so. If you think I'm not right, we can let the fists confirm everything. The uncle raised his right hand, pointed to the ring and said.

His arm was bruised and bulging, his half-clenched right fist was large, and his metacarpophalangeal joints were covered with calluses that looked like he had chilblains.

"You want to fight with me?" The man looked contemptuously at the cleaning uncle in front of him.

"I never tell lies."

"Do you want me to give up a hand?" The man in black burst out laughing.

"Just take care of your face with your hands, so that you don't dare to go out of the club and don't dare to meet people." Uncle smiled slightly.

"Okay, it's better to find an old man to practice, it's better than holding back and panicking."

"Young man, go to the coach's office and call Coach Liu out to be the referee." The uncle shouted at Tang Long.

Tang Long walked to the door of the coach's office, the door of the coach's office was open, and there was a desk inside, and behind the desk was a black chair, the desktop was neatly organized, and there was a desktop computer, a blue file holder and a pen holder on it. On the left side of the desk is a black sofa, a coffee table, a few wooden chairs, and on the coffee table are a set of tea sets and two boxes of tea leaves, a box of Pu'er tea and a box of Anhua black tea. Opposite the sofa, against the wall is an earthy yellow solid wood bookshelf, the bookshelf is full of various types of books, and on both sides of the bookshelf are placed two flourishing fortune trees.

On the sofa sat a young man with short hair and a red Pengqiang Fight Club training uniform, smiling at a TikTok video on his phone. After hearing Tang Long's footsteps, he raised his head and looked at Tang Long.

"Is it Coach Liu?" Tang Long knocked on the door and said.

"Yes."

"There was a fighter who came to fight, and the cleaning uncle inside said, let you be the referee."

"Uncle cleaning? You call him uncle? Coach Liu grinned, smiled and shook his head.

He picked up a small teacup on the coffee table, drank it dry, then gently put down the cup and came to the ring with Tang Long.

In the ring, the uncle and his opponent were wearing boxing gloves, and the man in black took off his black T-shirt, revealing bulging muscles and a scar on his chest, and he stared at the old man with fierce eyes from time to time.

"Uncle, this doesn't seem to be good!" Coach Liu said with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's up to the point, it's terrifying!" Uncle Zhang said.

Coach Liu came to the cabinet in the fitness area, took out a stopwatch from it, and slowly came to the ring. The uncle and the man in black had already put on their gloves. Coach Liu asked the man in black if he had braces, and the man in black told him no.

"Uncle, do you want to get you a pair of braces?" Coach Liu asked.

"It's simple, it doesn't need to be that complicated." Uncle shook his right fist and said.

Coach Liu stood between the two of them and told them the rules of the game: no hitting the back of the head, no elbows, no kicks in the crotch, and no ground after falling to the ground......

After the rules were finished, Coach Liu took out a stopwatch, set the time, raised his palm, waved down, shouted to start, and retreated to the edge of the ring.

The man in black shook his upper body, stretched out his front fist to measure the distance, and then jumped and cut in, a front straight punch and a fierce back hook, attacking the uncle. The uncle bowed his waist, craned his neck, clenched his fists, and quickly took two steps back, nimbly dodging the attack of the man in black. The man in black followed and jumped to approach the uncle, and at the same time as the front foot landed, a front straight punch and a back straight punch attacked the uncle's chin, and the uncle picked up his fist, and the fist was close to his forehead, blocking his face. The man in black's fist slammed into the uncle's gloves. The man in black picked up his right leg and swept towards the uncle's left thigh, who raised his knee and blocked his low leg.

"Uncle, you have to attack, you have already made three moves." Coach Liu said on the side.

"Okay, I know." Uncle said.

The uncle took a step back, left the attack range of the man in black, twisted his neck, lowered his fist, stretched his arms, and then set up a fighting pose, his eyes staring at the man in black. The man in black was a little annoyed that he failed to attack three times, and the uncle's blind defensive retreat also contributed to his momentum. When the man in black attacked him with a straight front punch again, he blocked the man's fist with his right hand, and then with a turn of his shoulder, a lightning-fast forward straight punch hit the man in black's chin, the man in black's head tilted back, and the uncle followed by a powerful right swing punch on his left cheek, and the man's body began to shake, as if he was drunk.

The uncle took a step forward, one right and one left two abdominal fists, smashed on his ribs like a hammer, he frowned and squatted on the ground, his left fist covering his stomach, and his right fist supporting the ground.

"1, 2, 3, 4......" Coach Liu walked to the side of the man in black and began to count the seconds.

When he counted to 6, he struggled to get up, cautiously approached the uncle, the uncle rolled on his side, head down, feet up, the whole body to the man in black, his feet centered on the head, drawing a 180-degree semicircle, the heel of his right foot slammed on the top of his head, he was on all fours, collapsed to the ground, and lost consciousness.

Coach Liu hurriedly ran over and squatted among the people who pinched him next to his head. After a long while, the man in black woke up, his eyes half-open, dazed, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog.

"Are you alright, young man?" The uncle took off the fist glove of his right hand, walked up to the man in black and patted him on the shoulder.

The man in black lowered his head and shook his head.

"When I'm old, my boxing skills are not good, so I can only play with a sacrificial kick, but fortunately, my body is not rusty. Next time you want to play, you can play with Coach Liu, I have to mop the floor, this is my job tonight. ”

The man in black was silent.

After the uncle walked down the ring to mop the floor in the fitness area, the man in black stood up, took off his gloves, walked down the ring without saying a word, dragged a heavy figure, and slowly walked to the fire door of the fitness area, disappearing into the dim night outside the door.
