Chapter 46: Reason
Chen Xiu was speechless for a long time after listening.
Although he and He Huan may not even be acquaintances, and they don't have a good impression of He Huan's guy, after hearing the cause of He Huan's death, he can't help but feel sad for the other party.
As a fighter, winning a fight is a matter of course, but losing your life because of it, and there's really not much to say about it except ridiculous.
Black boxing and black boxing are always 'black' in front and 'fist' in the back.
"It was actually the master who went to collect He Huan's body?"
Chen Xiu was really taken aback when he heard this, because he had the impression that because of the black boxing, Master Zhou Boxiong should have a very bad impression of He Huan.
The master actually went to collect He Huan's body, which he really didn't expect.
"It seems that there is something hidden, I don't know the specifics." Xiang Zhi also felt very sorry for He Huan's death, and sighed there.
After the two chatted for a while, Zhou Boxiong came back from slipping his legs outside, still carrying a bird cage in his hand.
Seeing Chen Xiu appear in the gym, the old man was also very happy.
"Why are you free today?" Zhou Boxiong carried the bird cage and walked inside with Chen Xiu, "How is your grandfather doing this time, is his health okay?" ”
"Grandpa, he's very good, and Marz takes good care of him."
Chen Xiu glanced at the yellow bird in the birdcage and said with a smile: "I came out to do something, and when the matter is done, I'll stop by here to have a look." ”
The yellow bird is not afraid of people, and combs its feathers inside, which is very smart and cute.
"It's good to be in good health." Zhou Boxiong smiled happily, in an unusually good mood.
"Master, I heard that He Huan died." Chen Xiu asked about He Huan, "Or are you going to collect the corpse for him?" ”
Although Zhou Boxiong had forbidden him to have any more involvement with He Huan before, but now that He Huan is dead, there is no need to avoid it too much.
"Xiang Zhi told you, right?" Speaking of He Huan, the expression on Zhou Boxiong's face became a little complicated.
"He Huan is indeed dead, he is a talent, if he hadn't been exposed to black boxing, he should have had a better future, but it's a pity."
He sighed and said no more.
"I didn't expect Master to value He Huan so much." Chen Xiu was a little surprised and expressed his opinion, "I always thought that Master didn't like He Huan. ”
"At first, I didn't like it or not." Zhou Boxiong shook his head, "It's just that after learning some things about him, a lot of changes have happened to him." ”
"He Huan's matter?" Chen Xiu was a little strange.
"You're not in a hurry to go back today, are you?" Zhou Boxiong suddenly asked.
"Don't worry, I'm going to go to Senior Brother Liu's side to have a look."
Chen Xiu laughed and said, "After all, I receive so much money from Senior Brother Liu every month, and I don't even know where I work until now, which is really a bit unreasonable." ”
"It's really time to check it out." Zhou Boxiong also smiled, and then said, "Since you are not in a hurry to leave, let's go to another place with me first." ”
"Okay, Master, I'll go wherever you say."
Chen Xiu took a sip.
He knew that the place where the master was going to take him should be related to He Huan.
The master and apprentice said that they would leave, and Zhou Boxiong directly called a taxi with a phone call, and the two took a taxi for more than 20 minutes and came to a dilapidated old neighborhood.
The city of Parari is an important port city with an unusually developed economy, and there are still such dilapidated neighborhoods, which are obviously slums and other places.
Upon entering this old neighborhood, the taxi stops outside an old building that resembles a monastery style.
Chen Xiu followed Zhou Boxiong out of the taxi and looked up at the old building.
The exterior walls of the building have long been mottled by the wind and rain over the years, and some of the windows outside are still the same old-fashioned wooden window frames, only some of them are later replaced alloy window frames.
Through his powerful hearing, he could hear the voices of many children coming from the depths of the old building.
Hearing the voices of those children, Chen Xiu faintly understood what this place was.
Zhou Boxiong walked in with Chen Xiu, came to a corridor inside, and stood outside the door of a room, where more than twenty children were sitting cross-legged on the floor, listening attentively to the nun in the middle.
These twenty or so children were of all skin colors, the youngest was four or five years old, the oldest was eleven or twelve years old, and the clothes they wore were very simple.
However, they are in very good spirits and complexion, and they are obviously well taken care of here.
"There are currently more than 40 children here, all of whom have no parents, and it was Sister Merida who adopted them, and He Huan used to be one of them."
Zhou Boxiong looked at the inside of the room and said.
"All the money He Huan earned from boxing was sent back here?"
Chen Xiu suddenly solved a lot of doubts.
No wonder He Huan has always been so short of money, he has fought so many black boxing, and he is usually so poor that he is reluctant to eat meat.
I even understood why the master's attitude towards He Huan, who hated black boxing so much, had changed so much.
"Some of the money was sent back to the children and used for the children, and some of the money was sent to the hospital."
Zhou Boxiong sighed: "Sister Merida has cancer and has been lying in the hospital all the time, and she needs to spend a lot of money every day for treatment. ”
Chen Xiu opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.
At first, he thought that the nun who was lecturing inside was Sister Merida, but he didn't expect that Sister Merida had been entangled in illness.
Sometimes good people are always ill-fated and their lives are full of tribulations, but many bad people are at ease and live a very nourishing life.
"In order to raise these children, the old nun Merida has been poor for decades, and she usually takes some medicine to survive when she is sick, and last year she went to the hospital for an examination because she couldn't support it, and found that it was already in the middle and advanced stages of cancer."
Zhou Boxiong sighed slightly and said, "He Huan went to fight black boxing just to make money quickly to treat the old nun. ”
Although the death penalty has been declared for mid-to-advanced cancer, there are really few people who are willing to give up treatment completely.
"Is there anything I can do for here?" Chen Xiu was silent for a moment and asked.
"Not anymore."
Zhou Boxiong shook his head and said, "In fact, some donations have always been received here, although it is not much, but it is enough for these children to grow up, but the illness of Sister Merida came too suddenly, so there was a special shortage of money during that period." ”
And in April, the old nun, who had been holding out for nearly three months, had closed her eyes forever.
Without the huge expenses of the hospital, although the children here are still living a relatively difficult life, they are not so short of money.
Hearing this, Chen Xiu was silent.
The nun inside noticed the two outside, and walked out to greet the two of them in a friendly manner, Zhou Boxiong and the nun were very familiar, obviously they had been there many times before.
The nun did not talk to the two for long, and soon went back to teaching the children, and the two left the convent.
……
After the master and apprentice left the monastery, they were unusually tacit and did not talk about it again.
After getting into the taxi, Zhou Boxiong reported a place name, not the gym.
"Are you going to Senior Brother Liu?" Chen Xiu asked.
"Well, your Senior Brother Liu's martial arts club." Zhou Boxiong nodded, "Aren't you going over there to have a look, he should be over there at this moment." ”
The driver was familiar with the road conditions, and he was extremely skilled, driving the taxi all the way, navigating through the endless traffic, passing one car after another, and finally stopping in front of a 30-story building with curtain wall glass on the outside.
Chen Xiu got out of the taxi, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the big words on the building-
Federal Mixed Martial Arts Athletic Federation.
"What a big place!" Chen Xiu looked at the building in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "This building is Senior Brother Liu's fighting club?" ”
"That's right." Zhou Boxiong, who was walking in front, said, "Isn't it unexpected? ”
"It's really unexpected." Chen Xiu nodded.
He originally thought that Senior Brother Liu's martial arts club was at most a one-story or two-story building in a shopping mall.
Unexpectedly, an entire building was the club's territory.
No wonder Senior Brother Liu would give him such a high salary, if he really worked as a coach in this kind of place, the salary of 50,000 yuan a month was indeed reasonable.
"Senior Brother Lingliu's Tianxing Club is not the same as my small boxing gym."
Zhou Boxiong laughed.
"He's already the only branch of the Federal Mixed Martial Arts Federation in Cocotany, where he can not only sign up to learn martial arts, but also conduct professional martial arts assessments, issue professional rank certificates, and often hold professional fighting competitions on television, which is not ordinarily huge."
The more Chen Xiu listened, the more he admired.
Being able to run a fighting club to this extent, Senior Brother Liu is indeed not ordinary.
While the master and apprentice were talking, they had already entered the lobby on the first floor, where there was a service hall, and the waiters in it were some very beautiful young girls, who were there to make inquiries and answers to guests.
Zhou Boxiong took Chen Xiu directly to the elevator on the side of the lobby, and there was also a young and beautiful waitress standing in the elevator.
The waiter obviously knew Zhou Boxiong's identity, called Zhou Boxiong Mr. Zhou, and asked him which floor he went to.
"Go to the thirty-sixth floor." Zhou Boxiong's face was pleasant, "You Mr. Liu are in the office on the thirty-sixth floor right now, right?" ”
"Mr. Liu is in the office." The pretty waiter replied as she pressed the floor button.
The elevator doors closed and began to rise slowly.
"Why don't a few people over there come here to take the elevator?" Chen Xiu looked at the elevator hall on the other side of the lobby, where several people were waiting for the elevator to come down.
This is a transparent glass elevator, and you can see the scene outside when you stand in the elevator.
"The elevator here is the exclusive elevator for your Senior Brother Liu, and no one else usually takes it."
Zhou Boxiong explained.
Chen Xiu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Liu really knows how to enjoy it, not to mention that there is a special elevator, and there is such a beautiful girl who specially presses the floor for him." ”
"Hello guests, the elevator here is actually a special elevator for the club's high-rise and VIPs, and it is not just used by Mr. Liu."
The pretty waiter explained politely.
The master and apprentice glanced at each other and laughed.
The elevator soon reached the highest 36th floor, and the two stepped out of the elevator.
"Master, how are the career ranks divided, and how many levels of occupation am I equivalent to now?" Chen Xiu asked with some curiosity.
"There are nine professional ranks, with one section being the lowest and nine stages being the highest."
Zhou Boxiong groaned and said: "Based on your performance on Leke Street last time, you should almost have the strength of eight dans, as for whether there are nine dans, I can't say." ”
"Is the nine-dan master so powerful?"
Chen Xiu's heart moved, with his performance that time, he couldn't even hold the ninth rank, which made him a little surprised.
"That's nature, or it's the highest rank."
Zhou Boxiong said: "The gap between the professional nine-dan and the eight-dan is very large, and most of the masters who have obtained the professional eight-dan certificate have reached the limit of the human body, and as for the professional nine-dan, they are a group of top masters who have broken the limit of the human body, and none of them can be underestimated." ”
"In the underground black boxing, the strongest S-class fighter is at this level."
"That profession nine dan is really powerful." Chen Xiu suddenly became a little interested, "I really want to find a professional nine-stage master to have a look." ”
As he was saying this, several people came out of the corner of the aisle in front of him.
Those people, both old and young, were all wearing some kind of uniform practice clothes, and they all looked at Chen Xiu with a strange gaze, obviously hearing what he had just said.
Chen Xiu was not embarrassed, he showed a friendly smile at them and passed by these people.
"Those guys don't seem to be here?" Chen Xiu walked around the corner and said to Zhou Boxiong: "The practice clothes they are wearing don't seem to be the same as here. ”
"It's supposed to be some kind of gym to communicate." Zhou Boxiong didn't care, "There are often people from other fighting gyms here who come to communicate. ”
Chen Xiu sighed, and then he didn't rest assured.
The two soon came to the door of Liu Zhiyi's office, and a strong man in a suit was guarding the door.
When the strong man in the suit saw Zhou Boxiong coming over with Chen Xiu, he hurriedly greeted Zhou Boxiong respectfully and knocked on the office door for them.
"Mr. Liu, Old Man Zhou is here."
"Is Master here? Invite him in. ”
Liu Zhiyi's voice came from behind the door.
The man in the suit opened the office door for the two, and Chen Xiu followed Zhou Boxiong in.
This office is amazingly large, almost more than two hundred square meters at a glance, Liu Zhiyi is standing in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling window, and there is a female secretary in a black silk skirt with a bewitching figure standing beside him.
"It turned out that Senior Brother Chen was here." Liu Zhiyi saw Chen Xiu at a glance and showed a sudden smile, "I said, how can Master have time to come to my side today." ”
"Senior Brother Liu." Chen Xiu greeted with a smile.
"Your junior brother Chen Xiu came out to run errands and passed by here, so I will take him to your side by the way." Zhou Boxiong said to Liu Zhiyi: "If you have something to do, you can be busy first, and I will take him around." ”
