Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Underground Boxing Match on the Ship
Xiao Yixuan and Ai Fengwu were both lying under the sun umbrella on the deck to bask in the sun, and this was their fifth day on the cruise ship.
Looking at the blue sky, there are many seagulls flying with the stern of the boat, and the occasional whale haunt on the calm sea, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, makes them both feel very good.
Ai Fengwu picked up a glass of juice and took a sip before saying: "I've been in the casino for the past two days, and I've won more than 100,000 US dollars, so we have pocket money." ”
Xiao Yixuan stayed in the room for the past few days, and he didn't go with him, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard that he could actually win money: "How much money did you bring?" ”
Ai Fengwu hiccuped before saying, "My old bean gave me a million US dollars, this is our travel expenses, I haven't thought of how to spend it, hehe." ”
Xiao Yixuan stood up and moved his body and said, "I'll go to the gym to practice for a while, will you go?" ”
Ai Fengwu thought for a while before shaking his head and said, "Exercise?" I don't want to go to that kind of place, otherwise I might as well stay in the martial arts hall. ”
Xiao Yixuan went to the gym alone, and as soon as he entered the gym, he found that Sha Fangtian was lying inside practicing his grip and push, he walked over and greeted, "Do you practice so hard every day?" ”
When Sha Fangtian saw that it was him, he stopped, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Yes, life on the ship is really not suitable for me, I have been here for several days, and I want to find you to come here to play but I don't know where you live." ”
Xiao Yixuan nodded and said, "Are you interested now?" Let's talk about it. ”
Sha Fangtian's expression suddenly became very excited, and he stood up and said, "So what are you waiting for?" I'm looking forward to it. After saying that, he stood up from the fitness machine
Xiao Yixuan is now very interested in Muay Thai, so he asked the waiter to call some protective gear, but he didn't expect Sha Fangtian to shake his head and take it over: "I don't like this kind of messy thing, real fighting doesn't need this kind of thing." ”
Xiao Yixuan was very puzzled when he heard this, Muay Thai must use gloves, because this is the rule of the professional competition, but he still nodded and said: "Okay, I'm mainly afraid that I will be injured, so there will be no opponent in the future." ”
Sha Fangtian looked at Xiao Yixuan very interestingly and smiled: "Are you afraid that I will be injured?" Friends, please rest assured, I'm not as weak as you think, I'm strong! After saying that, he raised his fist.
Xiao Yixuan looked at his thin physique, and also showed a slightly worried expression.
A physique like Kang Cheng should be considered middleweight in Thailand, but it is still a lot worse than himself.
The physical condition of Thai people is not too good, most of them are thin and small, so the division of Muay Thai is also very peculiar, the lightest boxing match is only 48 kilograms, and more than 79.4 kilograms is the heavyweight, like Xiao Yixuan's weight is about 100 kilograms, almost one and a half of Sand Fangtian.
Sha Fangtian seemed to see his doubts, shook his head and smiled: "Xiao, you don't have to worry about me, I have defeated many European-style Muay Thai fighters, they are much heavier than you, real martial arts is not just about weight." ”
Xiao Yixuan also felt quite reasonable when he heard it, Thailand is at the peak of boxing, as the saying goes: "Ten men, nine boxing." ”
And Muay Thai techniques can be divided into two factions, one is Thai, the other is European, the two techniques are basically the same, the difference is in the training focus and play, Thai is mainly based on legs, knees, Thai local players, even if they don't know how to use punches, will also send out a standard leg sweep.
The European style is mainly based on fist and leg methods, supplemented by knee and elbow methods, and is biased towards free fighting.
Sha Fangtian smiled and said: "Actually, I'm still afraid of hurting you, after all, it's not easy to find a sparring partner on the ship, and those people don't dare to fight me." After saying that, he looked to the side.
Xiao Yixuan followed his eyes and found that several people were practicing boxing, and he couldn't help but shake his head after watching their training, how could this kind of amateur boxer compare with martial artists.
Sha Fangtian walked to the venue next to him, beckoned and said, "Let me see Chinese kung fu and see who of us is great." ”
Xiao Yixuan walked over and performed a martial salute very steadily before nodding his head to indicate that he was ready, and the competition could begin.
Sha Fangtian was obviously different, giving people a youthful and victorious feeling, and as soon as he put his fist up, he quickly attacked and made a move to raise his knees, heading straight for his body.
Xiao Yixuan's current physical condition is at its peak, since the last time he fought with Shenjiaomen, he has rested for about ten days, this time even if he is seriously injured, he quickly bent down and punched Sha Fangtian's thigh.
This move was broken by Xiao Yixuan as soon as he got close, and Sha Fangtian retreated far away and looked at Xiao Yixuan with some surprise and said: "You are the first person to use this trick to break the knee, is this Sanda?" ”
Xiao Yixuan shook his head with a smile and said, "The real Chinese kung fu, you will be more and more surprised." ”
Sha Fangtian became more serious when he heard this, and the next step was to cut the elbow, hit the elbow, wipe the elbow, draw the elbow, reverse the elbow, and back elbow, and tried everything for Xiao Yixuan.
Muay Thai is good at using the eight parts of the human limbs, such as fists, elbows, knees, and feet, to fight in actual combat, so it is called eight-arm boxing.
Xiao Yixuan took it very easily, although he ate an elbow, but he was not unhappy, which made him understand the charm of Muay Thai, this elbow method is very fierce, if there is no golden bell jar, Xingyi Boxing alone will not dare to accept this kind of move.
Sha Fangtian's mouth opened wider and wider, and the more he hit, the more surprised he became, and there was still room for him to make a move at the beginning, but although Xiao Yixuan took over more moves, the heavier his moves became.
He had already used all the elbow techniques, and Xiao Yixuan had eaten them all, Sihao did not feel uncomfortable, how could he not be frightened, even a local Muay Thai fighter did not have this kind of skill.
After the two separated, Xiao Yixuan moved his body and asked, "Are you considered a first-class fighter in Thailand?" ”
Sha Fangtian's expression became solemn and replied: "Almost, there are still top fighters in Thailand, like my age, you are really a good opponent, but why don't you make a move?" ”
Xiao Yixuan nodded and said, "Then I'll let you see our Chinese kung fu." As soon as he finished speaking, his body shot out quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he changed to the front of him, and kicked out with a leg sweep, which was a new trick he had studied in the past few days.
Sand Fang Tian has been prepared in advance, immediately use the three square steps, this kind of pace is the essence of Muay Thai defense, its essence is the combination of footwork and grid, that is, knee lift, the feet are diagonally triangular in the step, and most of the movement follows a group of triangle routes for its basic route of advance and retreat.
It is the key to a Muay Thai fighter's ability to effectively develop his offensive and defensive skills, and any Muay Thai fighter attaches great importance to the basic training of the "Sangong Walk".
As soon as he lifted his knee, Xiao Yixuan's leg sweep arrived, and when the two moves met, he only heard a "bang", and suddenly Sha Fangtian was bounced out of the field like a ball.
Sha Fangtian's whole leg was numb by this move, and he was horrified in his heart, this move was blocked, if he didn't block the kick on the body, he would be scrapped on the spot, and he stammered in English while rubbing his legs: "Xiao, are you the king of legs?" This move is too powerful, what a lot of power! ”
Xiao Yixuan retracted his legs and smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just ordinary kung fu!" ”
Sha Fangtian limped over and said in disbelief: "Is this very common in China?" Are you a top-notch fighter? ”
Xiao Yixuan shook his head when he heard this, boxers are different from martial artists, so he said: "I'm not a first-class boxer. ”
Sha Fangtian was suddenly frightened, and it took a long time before he said: "Then you must be the best second-rate boxer, I didn't expect there to be so many masters in China." ”
Xiao Yixuan also smiled when he heard it, although it was a misunderstanding, he didn't explain, just said: "Can you demonstrate other moves of Muay Thai, I want to learn and learn, maybe it will help me." ”
Sha Fangtian's legs felt much better, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I admire a master like you." With that, he began to demonstrate. He explained while practicing, which gave Xiao Yixuan a great understanding of the Muay Thai system.
Muay Thai kicks use elbows to make the knee power smooth and smooth, and the strength is extremely fully reflected. The essence of Muay Thai is that the fighter uses the body to twist, that is, the feet are extended, the hips are rotated, and the fists, elbows and knees are thrown out like whips.
The image is like a wave drum, and the body of the Muay Thai fighter is like a wave drum with an axis, and the limbs are like a small ball on the drum, and the drum shaft is like a small ball, and the ball is thrown out. This is how Muay Thai fighters use their bodies to twist and rotate, adding physical strength to their limbs and their bodies to make their strikes faster and more explosive.
Then Sha Fangtian introduced the essence of the traditional step of the three palace steps, and it is not good to hit people if you can't step by hand; The hand is also there, and hitting people is like a joke. If the step is not fast, the fist is slow, and if the step is unsteady, the fist is chaotic.
The content of these few sentences made Xiao Yixuan gain a lot.
Xiao Yixuan also taught him some of the more commonly used moves in martial arts, and also specially passed on his two moves Bajiquan, which made Sha Fangtian excited, and he could appreciate the power of these two moves.
After Xiao Yixuan returned to the room, he began to recall some of the actions demonstrated by Sha Fangtian just now, repeating them again and again, and then studying them.
These memories will become a valuable asset for him, and he may meet a real Muay Thai master one day, and the fight may be much easier at that time, and the little bit of accumulation will play an important role in the future.
He was practicing, and suddenly heard a knock on the door so he had to stop practicing, opened the door to take a look, and found that the person who came was Liang Chuxia, which made him faintly surprised in his heart, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect it to be you, please come in!" ”
Liang Chuxia wore a pure white dress with a big bow on it, which was pure and lovely.
She put her hands behind her back and said, "Why don't you welcome me?" Liu Qian went swimming and I didn't really want to go, so I came to visit the presidential duplex suite where you lived. ”
Xiao Yixuan poured a glass of water and handed it to her: "Please feel free to watch, in fact, I feel that it is not too much, but it is bigger." As he spoke, he began to accompany her and look around like a museum.
A room of more than 100 meters on land may not be nothing, but now it is at sea, and it is a boat, so space becomes extremely important, three bedrooms, a living room, a negotiation room, a study, and an independent balcony with a view, these are too luxurious.
Liang Chuxia walked around and said enviously: "The room between the two of us is only the size of one of your bedrooms, the gap is too obvious, and the sight of the sea view on your floor is not the same, the view is really good." ”
After speaking, he sat on the bed and looked at the sea view and sighed: "It's so beautiful! I love the wandering lifestyle of cruises, I feel close to nature, and I really want to live here for the rest of my life.
Xiao Yixuan was completely numb to these, and most of his life was spent in training, so he had to echo her: "Well, this kind of life is good. ”
Liang Chuxia seemed to have found a confidant, and said excitedly: "Do you feel this way too?" Then we really have a common hobby! ”
Xiao Yixuan looked at the scenery outside the window and said: "In fact, a long time ago, airplanes were not suitable for long-distance flights, so people took cruises, and when airplanes developed, many rich and idle aristocrats liked this kind of leisure cruise travel." Therefore, the cruise ship will become more and more luxurious. ”
These words are still the knowledge he made up before he got on the boat, but he didn't expect to use them today, I have to say that his luck is very good.
Liang Chuxia's eyes looked at him a lot closer, and he nodded very vigorously and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much about its development history, I have seen these before!" By the way, what about your companions? ”
Xiao Yixuan said: "He doesn't like to stay in one place, he always walks around, and I don't know where he has gone." As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in the room rang at an inopportune time.
Therefore, he had to apologize to Liang Chuxia with a slight smile, and then picked up the phone, and Ai Fengwu's voice came from inside: "It's me, I called you at the place where I bought clothes last time, there will be a black market boxing match, come over and let's go and have a look!" ”
Xiao Yixuan heard that there was a game, thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go over in a while, you wait for me there." ”
As soon as he hung up the phone, Liang Chuxia stood up and said, "I won't bother you if you have something, come and sit with me when you have time." ”
Xiao Yixuan was a little embarrassed and said: "Well, I'm really sorry, there are some things that need to be dealt with, I will definitely find you to play with when I have time." After saying that, the two of them went out together, and Xiao Yixuan sent her to the door of the room before going to the agreed place.
After arriving at the store, Xiao Yixuan swept his eyes and found that Ai Fengwu was sitting on a chair drinking gas water, so he stepped forward and asked, "How did you find a place to fight?" ”
Ai Fengwu put down the qi and water, and moved his three fingers before saying, "I just gave two hundred dollars to a seaman, and he even told me his grandmother's name." After speaking, you looked at Xiao Yixuan with your idiotic eyes.
Xiao Yixuan didn't answer him, but asked, "When will it start?" ”
Ai Fengwu was accustomed to the way he spoke, raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "There is still half an hour, I think we should be able to enter now, we need a thousand dollars in cash." Xiao Yixuan nodded, took out the money from his wallet and gave it to him
The two men came to a secure door at the stern of the ship, which led to a staircase to the lower floor, and a door made of solid wood guarded by a seaman.
Ai Fengwu came here just now, said a few words to him and handed him the money and went straight inside.
Xiao Yixuan found that this wooden door was 20 centimeters thick, and the sound insulation effect should be very outstanding.
After entering, the environment inside is not very good, it can be said that it is completely the original style of this cruise ship before it was not decorated, but the venue is very large, there is a boxing ring at the very front, and there are only five or six rows of seats below.
There were all shredded confetti underground, about forty or fifty people were sitting in chairs, many were smoking, and it was an underground cabin, and the air was very bad.
Ai Fengwu covered his nose and said: "This is the dirtiest place on the cruise ship, you look at these people, as if they don't notice it, they are not afraid of short lives." ”
Xiao Yixuan looked at it and frowned: "The environment here is not very good, let's go back now." ”
Ai Feng shook his head immediately when he heard this: "I'd rather suffer a little sin than have fun, hehe, I'll gamble a few times in a while, maybe I can get some money to spend." ”
Xiao Yixuan didn't speak, but what he thought about was what Zhou Yuhao had said before, most of the underground boxers were making a show, and few of them were real games, so he said: "Most of this kind of competition is not real, it's just a lie, and you will lose no matter how much you invest." ”
Ai Fengwu listened to it and said unwillingly: "In fact, everyone knows that the dealer must win, so why would anyone gamble?" Gambling money is sometimes a gamble on luck, and if you are lucky, you will win. ”
After a while, two people came out of the back door and got into the ring, and the betting began.
Ai Fengwu looked at the stands and asked, "Which one is slightly more sure of winning?" I feel better in red shorts, he's more muscular, and he looks fierce. ”
Xiao Yixuan almost fainted when he heard this, this kind of gambling method is a way to hit the luck, so he shook his head and said: "I can't see either, the level of the two people is at the elementary stage." ”
Ai Fengwu heard this and said: "I knew that asking you was also a vain question, so I bet on the red side, if he doesn't win, I will personally go up and kill him." With that, he ran to the front and placed his bets.
Xiao Yixuan looked around, many people were dressed very well, and it didn't look like the first time they came, it looked like this was an old den.
After about two or three minutes, Ai Feng ran back with five farts and took a sip before saying: "It's really fucking expensive, the minimum bet is five thousand, and the maximum is unlimited, I bought ten bets to try my luck." ”
Xiao Yixuan's heart was very strange, although Ai Fengwu went to gamble when he saw the casino, but the bet was not large, and with his family background, the money was nothing at all.
It didn't take long for the two men on the stage to start a boxing match, the red square was large and looked very advantageous, while the blue square was slightly skinny but very flexible.
The two men fought, and in just two minutes, Red was punched by Blue because of his slow movements, and he fell to the ground and couldn't stand up.
Suddenly, many people tore up the gambling tickets and threw them into the sky, Ai Fengwu did the same action, and then said: "shit! Who knew that he was actually a Xibei goods, he could only see it but not use it! Then he turned his head and asked Xiao Yixuan again: "Did they fake a fight when they played just now?" ”
Xiao Yixuan shook his head and said, "It's not like it, it shouldn't be cheating." ”
About ten minutes later, the two fighters came on stage, but surprisingly, the blue side was on the court again, but it looked a little tired.
Ai Fengwu looked at it before saying, "If you buy a red square this time, I don't believe that you can't win!" After saying that, he ran to the place where he placed the bet.
The heavy wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and five people came in from outside the door, led by a very old man, and behind were four strong men, who looked like Asians, but not Chinese.
Xiao Yixuan looked at it, these four people should be all good at martial arts, and several people sat not far from him.
Ai Fengwu ran back, his face was full of sweat, and he said very excitedly: "I bought ten more bets, and this time the blue side will definitely not win." After that, he put all his energy into the ring.
The game started again, the new red side was very flexible, and the blue side was the same as before, with the speed of the roaming around, the red side trying to find the opponent's space was really fooled, and within a second to raise the leg against the blue side's soft rib is a two-foot combo.
Blue Fang, who had been prepared, turned on one side and easily dodged the opponent's sweeping and powerful double attack, and took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's move too late to change, and forced the red side, who is known for its speed, to the corner of the ring, and the strike time was about a minute, and the red side fell to the ground, the same result as the previous game.
At this time, a very old voice came from behind Xiao Yixuan, "Allah is supreme" He said Chinese, but it sounded a little awkward, Ai Fengwu had just finished tearing up the ticket and suddenly hit the fire when he heard this sentence, and shouted loudly in English: "Fuck Allah." After saying that, he threw the paper away.
Xiao Yixuan was too late to speak, and the five people who came in just now all stood up and looked at Ai Fengwu with very angry eyes.
