Chapter 8 She was in front of the door and I was behind the door
People always want to get old, and one of the important ways to fight old is to insist on self-training for a long time. Regarding this, Shi Yu now deeply understands.
There are many things, the reason why you have to do it has its reason, for example, Shi Yu's soul is now imprisoned in the body of this old uncle, because he can see the ending of a scene, and he is in it, so he has to work harder! He's trying to prepare from now on, to change an ending!
Hundreds of sit-ups, squats, pull-ups, these simplest movements, in fact, really need some small skills to practice well.
There is a book called "Prisoner's Fitness", and his fitness ideas are the most important, that is, there is no need for complex fitness equipment, of course, it is better when there is equipment, and it is said that without enough fitness conditions, an indomitable soul can still make himself one of the strongest people on the planet by doing fitness exercises that "overcome the gravity of the earth".
When fitness becomes a habit, even the strongest feelings of loneliness are driven away.
When Shi Yu sweated again, and took a shower, he looked at his watch, it was now more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and he decided to go for some leisure activities, either too nervous or too idle, in short, he always felt empty in his heart.
About two intersections north of the "home" where Lyon lived, there was a very small opera hall, also run by an Italian, which often played some stage plays, operas and the like, but the business was quite bad. Around 1990, people's main forms of entertainment were movies and television, attracting adults with Hollywood blockbusters and children with cartoons such as "Transformers".
However, this perennial opera hall has become the most popular place for Lyon, and sometimes movies are shown directly here, so that the boss's stubborn brain finally opened up, and he didn't lose money to his wife, children and his own pants.
Shi Yu took out the money and didn't look at what was written on the billboard, bought a ticket and went in, it was really not a movie today, but an unknown small stage drama team, Italian opera is really good, Italy is also a country that produces artists, but unfortunately Leon doesn't particularly know how to appreciate, because the original plot Leon is illiterate, he can't write.
Leon came to the United States from Italy when he was 18 years old, he should have been smuggled over, because it was illegal means, so he had no passport, no identity, so he had no way to integrate into the United States, a society with very good compatibility, so language became a big obstacle, so he couldn't write should be English, so after so many years, there should be no problem with speaking, and the poor is still written.
What is not learned never will.
However, even if he was hindered to such a large extent, he still could not stop his pursuit and love of art, listening to the famous opera "La Traviata" sung in English by people in the theater, Shi Yu can now have a certain strange resonance from the heart outward! This money is not unjustly spent, although there are still things that I don't understand.
Art knows no borders.
"Why do I think everything is beautiful when everything doesn't look good? It was the most special day and it was love that made everything look different! ”
After watching the opera, when he came home, it was almost dark, Shi Yu's body and mind felt extremely happy, with this happy and leisurely feeling, he entered the house, which was considered to have completed his day's mission.
As a professional killer, he has money and doesn't need to work from 9 to 5 to see the boss's face, every day of his life belongs to him, he is free, he has plenty of time to appreciate the art he can appreciate with his own feelings, and then, it is to strengthen the practice of professional quality - physical exercise!
Before going to bed, he still has to carry out high-intensity exercises, hanging bricks and holding guns and aiming training, and the basic movements that various professional killers need to practice.
About two or three hours passed like this, and the life of a bachelor was very difficult, but Shi Yu gradually got used to the rhythm.
After the workout or training, he wrote down his score for today's state on a small blackboard: 88, basically quite satisfied with the day, and then, Shi Yu sat on the sofa chair dedicated to sleeping, this sofa chair is his bed, and this "bed" position is only one step away from the window.
Whenever the police break in, Shi Yu can step over the window, and with the escape rope that has been placed there all the year round, he can jump directly to the downstairs room, where a lonely old lady lives, and when he has a gun in his hand, he can enter the old lady's house and escape, and the chance of survival can be directly increased by 90%.
Lying in the chair, I turned off the light and prepared to sleep, but I had a little insomnia, after all, the anger of killing people during the day was still there.
It's now 10:30 p.m. This part of New York State is so strange.
Shi Yu suddenly remembered that there is qigong in Chinese martial arts - a special method of regulating breathing and guiding sleep, he retrieved the information of the task bracelet, and found it effortlessly, integrating this memory into the current body, learned it in a second, the five elements are facing the sky, and then he gradually got physical relaxation under the ancient health preservation techniques.
As soon as the eyes are closed, the day is open, and the night is fine!
When the morning came, Shi Yu got up from the chair with a spirit, listened attentively to the movement outside, and was safe, he lurked by the door again, observing the movement of the corridor through the peep glass, just like any day as usual - in this plane, Shi Yu felt like a bird that had been startled, could it be that he had a sad memory of being caught by the police?
Everything is normal, Shi Yu took the plan of Leon's schedule, his main activities are still very simple when he gets up in the morning, after eating, he needs to go to a small park nearby to practice fighting and fighting, as a professional killer, his skills are not separated, it is not enough to carry out basic physical training by himself in the house, and he also has to carry out exercises of this skill nature, such as punching sandbags, and sandbag wrestling and so on.
Punching bags, speed balls, skipping rope, jumping grids, and so on are all kinds of basic exercises to practice in boxing.
Wrestling bags, over-the-shoulder anti-falling all kinds of discarded tires, is a grappling, wrestling necessary to practice the project, because there is only one person to practice, there is no coach sparring so most of the situation needs to be solved by himself, about the problem of sparring, he will regularly accept some tasks to practice, when his sparring is very risky, Leon generally will not let his sparring partner live to the second meeting.
In a small park not far away, there is a small forest, and sandbags are hanging from several trees, which is more like a place for an old man to exercise, but in fact, each sandbag is sewn with multiple patches, Leon's fists and feet are powerful enough, and the recent realm has been practiced to the point that one punch can burst ordinary sandbags, so the sandbags he uses to practice are all specially made.
When there is no task, Shi Yu must carry a knife, a small revolver, and a few magazines. These things keep him safe without being particularly burdensome. All the long and short guys that are needed for other majors are put at home, in the holes dug in the wall.
Four hours passed, and seeing noon, Shi Yu felt that he had practiced smoothly, and every muscle and bone had reached the highest value of physical ability.
Shi Yu looked at his watch, and now that the time had passed 11 o'clock, he suddenly remembered that the little girl was about to fall into an impending crisis. And if she hadn't been asked to help buy milk, she would have turned into a beautiful cold corpse. Thinking of this, Shi Yu nodded and returned to his home along the quiet path.
The family on the opposite floor is a noisy family of five all day long, the girl's father, has three children, of which the girl's mother is the girl's stepmother, and the child brought is a seventeen or eighteen girl, it is said that the stepmother works from 9 to 5, where to work is a low-level white-collar worker, the girl's father is idle, the occupation is unknown, anyway, often go home in the middle of the night, drunk is a common thing.
The above is the result of Shi Yu retrieving Leon's memories.
"System, come out to Lao Tzu!" Shi Yu suddenly felt that his series of tasks were very incomprehensible, and it was not boring to approach and snoop on other girls' privacy all day long, "I want to know why I have to become Leon, why do I have to approach her?" Why am I in this plot? ”
"Girl Matilda, she is a character designated by the main god and specialized in assassinating villains in various planes, she will help you a lot in the next big challenge, it can be said that she is a talent specially sent to you by the main god, think about the next task!"
"What's next?"
"It's not a special task, just prepare to bring the little girl into your room."
"Hmm!"
Shi Yu raised his eyes and now arrived at his own building, the little girl Matilda was lowering her head, where was the "luck"?
"What's wrong with you?"
Matilda raised his head and startled Shi Yu, his face was red with a big slap mark, the corners of his mouth were broken and swollen, and he was bleeding from his nostrils, and he was about to flow onto his clothes. What kind of hatred is this, it gives people such a beating, Shi Yu is speechless, the children of this family can go to the police station to complain, that is a lawsuit, but it may not work here, Shi Yu took out a handkerchief in his pocket and handed it over: "Take it." ”
"Is life always so painful?" The girl saw that it was Shi Yu, her eyes were very complicated, and she didn't think that "his prediction is very accurate", and now her embarrassment has turned into a discussion of the realm of life under Shi Yu's friendly tenderness, "Is it always so painful, or is it just like this in the child's stage?" ”
Shi Yu cast an infinite sympathetic look at the child paper opposite, saying that the clever aura that came out of the corners of the child's mouth and eyebrows, and the blood stains on the corners of his mouth were so distressing that people trembled, how to answer her question, is it time to discuss pain at a young age?
"Always."
The atmosphere turned cold, and Shi Yu had to say according to the lines of the script, because of this situation, coupled with Shi Yu's own tragic situation, a big boy and a little girl, no one is necessarily in a better condition than others, because no one can be happy with any jokes.
Touching the scene in an instant, Shi Yu was subconsciously pushed by the plot, and he was about to stride away.
"Hey," Shi Yu heard the girl calling him from behind, and turned around to see the girl pulling the railing with one hand, leaning into a flowing shape, and her eyes were hooking, "I'm going to go to the grocery store to buy something, do you want to help you buy some milk?" ”
Shi Yu's heart tightened, the plot, the plot didn't move at all!
"One, or two? Two right? Okay! The girl asked and answered herself, and after getting Shi Yu's affirmative nod, a bright smile like a spring flower burst out on her face in an instant, and she jumped down to buy something!
However, Shi Yu's heart is now tight: Next, a big tragedy is coming, when the girl comes back from shopping, she sees that her parents and relatives have been killed, what kind of tragedy is it? Is life always so painful? Is it always so painful, or is it just in childhood?
Always. She was in front of the door and I was behind the door!
