"You ......"

Li Mu was stunned, raised his head, and followed the prestige.

The person who spoke was a girl in her early twenties, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, with a single ponytail in pitch black, looking about the same age as Mu Xiaoqiu, and it seemed that they were all college students.

"It's okay, it's not much money for this meal, everyone is Chinese, and it is appropriate to help each other." Seeing Li Mu looking at her, the girl winked playfully, and then took the initiative to take out a stack of money from her shoulder bag and handed it to the waiter.

Seeing that she rushed to pay the bill, Li Mu nodded in thanks, and then said, "In this way, you leave me a card number or number, and I will transfer the money to you later." ”

"No trouble, goodbye."

The girl smiled and waved her hand, and turned around and left the restaurant.

Looking at the back of the girl leaving freely, Li Mu could only chuckle, touched Xiao Tian Hui's head and said, "See, there are still many good people in this world." ”

Tian Hui nodded, a little as if he didn't understand.

"Alright, it's so late, let's go back."

Li Mu smiled and left the restaurant with Tian Hui.

On the way back, Tian Hui raised his head along the way and looked at the stars in the sky.

Li Mu asked curiously, "Xiaohui, what are you looking at?" ”

Tian Hui hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "My father said that when the stars in the sky are particularly bright, it is my mother who misses me and is looking at me, but I miss her so much, and I also want to see her again......"

In a word, Li Mu was silent.

Tian Hui was not distressed, he only wiped his face twice with his small hand, and then exclaimed: "Ah, you have to go back quickly, it's too late, you can't get up tomorrow morning to open the martial arts hall." ”

When the words fell, Tian Hui took a step and ran, while Li Mu hurriedly followed.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Mu can feel that as Tian Hui runs faster and faster, the haze on her body is also unconsciously left far behind.

……

Nothing was said all night, and the next morning was unspoken.

Li Mu got up from the cramped attic bedroom and moved his sore shoulders downstairs.

Oda Megumi didn't know when she was already sitting behind the counter, everything in the martial arts hall had been cleaned, the newly replaced glass door was polished, and the sunlight was shining in, with a warmth.

Looking at the warm atmosphere in front of him, Li Mu unconsciously smiled at the corner of his mouth, and simply stood in the practice area in the center of the martial arts hall and played Wing Chun.

"Master Li, it's so hard in the morning."

Halfway through the boxing practice, Liu Mo's voice suddenly sounded.

Li Mu followed the prestige, just in time to see Liu Mo push the door and walk in, the smiling Okita Hui said hello, and put the bag he was carrying on the counter.

"How's it going to be done to come back so early?"

Li Mu asked with a smile.

"Something to gain."

Liu Mo paused, glanced at Tian Hui, and lowered his voice slightly.

"Let's talk in the back alley, so that I don't have to smoke here, and the little girl will teach me a lesson."

"Okay."

Li Mu nodded, and followed Liu Mo from the back door into the alley.

After entering the alley, Liu Mo lit a cigarette and spit out a cloud of mist before he spoke.

"Last night, I asked everyone I knew, and finally found some interesting news, Paniva didn't lie, the scale of this boxing challenge is indeed very scary......

"Oh? You elaborate. Li Mu was interested and asked.

"As Paniva told you earlier, most of the fighters in this tournament are assigned by underground boxing tournament organizers across Southeast Asia, and the rest of the fighters are not coming from the right path."

Liu Mo stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

"There are those who came out of the Siberian training camp of Tsarist Russia, those who have retired from the special forces of the magnesium country, those who have made extra money from African mercenary companies, and those who have left their homes and are on the run.

Li Mu frowned slightly.

In the face of the enemy, especially in a life-and-death game like an iron cage fight, those who have seen blood and those who have not seen blood are not at the same level at all.

For people who have never opened a killing ring, whether they dare to use great strength under heavy hands, whether they have the courage to accept the fact of killing, and whether they can reorganize their mentality are all difficult questions.

That's why the most important thing in any fighting technique is guts.

If you don't have enough courage, no matter how hard you fight, no matter how clever your moves are, it's all in vain, and if you really have the courage to hurt people or even kill people, even if you can't do anything, it's dangerous.

Not to mention anything else, just by being able to gather so many people with fishy smells on their hands, this boxing challenge is probably definitely not a friendly competition of "friendship first".

As if to confirm Li Mu's conjecture, Liu Mo took a puff of cigarette and spoke again.

"Every year, 64 invitations will be sent to the boxing challenge, of which the organizers of the Southeast Asian underground boxing tournament are divided into 32, and the remaining 32 are sent out in what way, it is not clear for the time being, but every year in order to compete for invitations to participate in the competition, many people will die."

"And this invitation, this is only the first level, according to my friend's news, last year's boxing challenge was the first round of the top 32, a full 20 people died, the whole challenge was played, a total of 64 participants, but only 9 left Pattaya alive......"

Speaking of this, Liu Mo threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his foot.

"Master Li, if you want me to talk about this boxing challenge, forget it, a boxing match with a casualty rate of five out of six is no longer a competition, it's just playing with life!"

Li Mu didn't rush to reply, but stared at Liu Mo and spoke slowly.

"What about Guan Yi and the people from the Central Guoshu Pavilion? Do they come back? ”

Seeing the light in Li Mu's eyes, Liu Mo hesitated for a while, but finally did not lie.

He sighed and said in a deep voice: "Guan Yi is one of the organizers of the underground boxing tournament, he will definitely send his subordinates to participate in the battle, as for the Gao family who is suspected of being a descendant of the Guoshu Pavilion and teaching Xingyi Boxing, I heard that they sent people to participate, but there is no conclusive news without me." ”

"That's enough."

Li Mu nodded and patted Liu Mo on the shoulder.

"Tell Paniva that I can compete, let him prepare in advance."

"Master Li ......"

"Don't persuade me, just do what I say."

Li Mu waved his hand, blocking all the words of Liu Mo's dissuasion in his throat.

Liu Mo sighed, and knew in his heart that Li Mu had made a decision, and he probably couldn't change it, so he nodded in agreement.

"You ...... Why are you here again! ”

At this moment, Tian Hui's exclamation suddenly came from inside the martial arts hall.

"Megumi?!"

Hearing the sound, Liu Mo's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly pushed open the door and broke out.

Li Mu also hurriedly followed and entered the martial arts hall together.

At this time, in the martial arts hall, there was a group of people standing, and the leader of them was the debt collector who had blocked Li Mu and Liu Mo in the back alley when they arrived in Southeast Asia on the first day!
