Chapter Eighty-Three: Decisions, Goals
"Dragon City? It feels like the name is a bit weird. Is it in Kowloon? ”
Li Jianjun asked.
He nodded, lit a cigarette, and said:
"Dragon City, also known as the Kowloon Walled City, is a notorious enclave. In principle, it is under the jurisdiction of the mainland, but its location is in Kowloon, and it does not border the mainland.
No one cares, and the ghosts have no right to manage, and they don't have the right to enforce the law. Many desperate wanted criminals will also flee inside if they see this, and there are many clubs, which has led to Dragon City becoming a three-way zone.
There are no rules, no laws, and there is a mixture.
Except for some aborigines and newcomers who have just crossed the sea, even those who are on errands do not want to go in. ”
After a pause, he looked at Li Jianjun:
"So, it's better for you to look for a rental room outside. If it weren't for the fact that we had paid the rent and didn't have enough money to buy the house, we would have moved out a long time ago. ”
Li Jianjun nodded quietly. His top priority now is to move out of Li Jianguo's place first.
The police do not have the power to enforce the law, which is exactly what he wants. Just wait for the snake fighter to pass before moving out.
Thinking of this, Li Jianjun pretended to think, hesitated for a while, and then came up with a reason:
"It's such a mess, so the rent is cheap there, right?"
Xi Wei said with a headache:
"I've said so much, you don't want to go. Even if the rent is cheap, it is not much cheaper. If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some. ”
"If you borrow it, you have to pay it back."
Li Jianjun was unmoved and insisted:
"You've heard A'an tell you before, we've just come here. Now I don't have much money in my hand at all, of course, I can save a little if I can.
Besides, no matter how chaotic Dragon City is, there is still a danger that we will cross the sea as overseers? ”
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. I'll take you there when we're done. ”
Xi Wei was a little helpless. But thinking that several of them were also in Dragon City, he still nodded in agreement.
When the goal was achieved, Li Jianjun also had a smile on his face, and put the salary he had just received into his pocket.
"Then let's go eat. It just happened that the wages were paid, and we invited you to eat. ”
"Forget it, you can still save a little. Just a few dollars of wages, after eating, it will be gone. ”
Xi Wei glanced at him angrily, turned and walked out of the docks.
Li Jianjun smiled when he heard this.
"Let's go, Uncle Jun." Xi Wei turned around and urged.
"Here we are."
Li Jianjun motioned to Amin Dachun beside him to follow.
Zhongfang Street, Mojia Boxing Martial Arts Hall.
In the martial arts training ground in the courtyard, Cha Song's face was serious, his muscles were knotted bare-chested, and his waving elbows were covered with thick calluses.
Opposite him was Wang Yunwu, who was wearing a blue-gray robe.
At this time, Wang Yunwu's forehead was dripping with sweat, and Mo Jiaquan's hooked legs came like a shower, and he was once suppressed so that Cha Song retreated again and again, and there was no chance to fight back.
The martial arts disciples who were watching from the sidelines couldn't help but be in good spirits.
From time to time, his angry eyes glanced at Yu Jiujiang who was standing aside and the two Thai guys beside him.
Yu Jiujiang's face was calm, ignoring the glances that came over, only looking at the two people in the field, and he didn't blink a pair of eyes.
Kicking the gym exchange, since he is ready to start the reputation of Muay Thai, then as the Mo family of five boxers and thirteen families, he will naturally not miss it.
Although Wang Yunwu's skills were somewhat unexpected, as an insider, Yu Jiujiang did not panic at all.
This series of cannon-like legs forced Cha Song to have no chance to fight back, it seemed that Wang Yunwu had the upper hand, but he also shot with all his might.
On the other hand, Cha Song, although he was a little embarrassed, was able to defend with ease, and his feet moving backwards were not messy at all.
An all-out onslaught, an easy-to-use defense, continue, as long as Cha Song seizes the opportunity, it is offensive and defensive change, and it is reversed in an instant!
Suddenly, Yu Jiujiang's eyes froze.
It's time to fight back!
Sure enough, at the moment when Wang Yunwu's right foot landed on the ground and his move was stagnant, a fine light flashed in Cha Song's eyes, and the whole person did not retreat but advanced, stepped forward with three palace steps, his waist was tense, and his raised elbow smashed down hard at Wang Yunwu's temple!
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Wang Yunwu had to raise his arm to block.
"Bang!"
The moment the elbows met, Wang Yunwu's face changed.
The block was too hasty, and he only felt a strong force rushing down the opponent's elbow, making him take two steps back.
As soon as he stabilized his body, Cha Song had already approached and slammed into his chest with a fierce knee. With a bang, it hit Wang Yunwu's palms downward.
Although he blocked this blow, it also made Wang Yunwu stumble back again.
Zha Song was unforgiving, taking advantage of Wang Yunwu's unsteady steps, with a sprint, the whole person rose into the air, and the tip of the violent elbow smashed down on the top of Wang Yunwu's head!
This time, Wang Yunwu couldn't avoid it at all, with Cha Song's strength, once the elbow smashed to the top of his head was smashed, Wang Yunwu would either die or be injured!
"Senior brother!"
The martial arts hall disciples who were watching couldn't help but exclaim.
"Cha Song, stop!"
The victory and defeat have been divided, and Yu Jiujiang, who was staring at the field, shouted.
Cha Song, who jumped up, put away his elbows and turned sideways to avoid Wang Yunwu.
When his feet landed, he came to Wang Yunwu, and after putting his palms together, he walked to Yu Jiujiang outside the arena without saying a word.
Yu Jiujiang looked at Wang Yunwu with a smile.
"Even if the owner of your hall is not there, Master Wang's skills are not much better than other martial arts masters, he is really a famous master and a high apprentice! Thank you for your advice today! ”
"Shame!"
Wang Yunwu's face was expressionless.
"There is a lot of trouble, when the owner of your pavilion comes back, we will come to the door to ask for advice."
"Don't send it!"
Wang Yunwu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and watched Yu Jiujiang leave the martial arts hall with Cha Song and his party.
A young man in a white shirt approached Wang Yunwu and asked worriedly:
"Senior brother, are you okay?"
Wang Yunwu just shook his head and didn't speak.
The young man walked around him twice uneasily, and when he saw that his senior brother did not look injured, he said with relief:
"Senior brother, you just had the upper hand, but you accidentally lost a move, don't take it to heart."
"A loss is a loss. You don't think that Senior Brother is a person who can't afford to lose, do you? ”
Wang Yunwu interrupted the young man's words loudly.
The young man hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't mean that." ”
"That's fine. Ah Fu, you take the juniors and disciples to practice boxing first. ”
Wang Yunwu patted the young man's shoulder and explained. Walk through the martial arts training ground and walk towards the hall.
Only the young man named Ah Fu was left, looking worriedly at the back of his senior brother leaving.
I am not a person who can't afford to lose, and if I lose, I win. Let alone. If it weren't for the other party's hand, he wouldn't be able to stand.
Wang Yunwu knew very well that he did not lose. Seriously speaking, Cha Song's skills may not be comparable to himself.
The reason why we lost was because of experience.
If it weren't for his desire to defeat the other party in one go, the outcome might have been very different if he had the upper hand.
Is it unjust to lose?
Wang Yunwu felt that he was not wronged, because if he lost, he was not wronged!
He walked into the hall and sat down in his chair, thinking carefully about the fight.
Throughout the short competition between the two, after a simple trial, Cha Song has been consuming his physical strength with reservations. It wasn't until he couldn't attack for a long time and the moment when his change of tactics stalled that Cha Song seized the opportunity to counterattack.
"You can't practice alone to be famous, and you can make progress by practicing in actual combat!"
He muttered in his heart what Ang Lee had said to him at the beginning, and he seemed to have a different understanding.
Wang Yunwu sat alone in the hall, pondering what Li An said to him that day.
Long
"Actual combat."
He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.
On the other side, Ang Lee, who had been busy all day, also returned to the barber shop from the north-south.
When he greeted the first line of heaven and came to the rooftop, he was surprised to find that Lin Zhaodi had been practicing boxing early.
Li An walked over, leaned against the cement railing, and asked with a smile:
"Senior sister, if you come here so early, won't it affect the business of the medical hall?"
"No, it won't. I close the door around this time on weekdays, and I don't have any patients visiting my door at night. ”
Lin Zhaodi stood with her palms closed and shook her head gently.
Seeing the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, Li An took his sweat towel from the clothesline in the corner of the rooftop and handed it over.
"Thank you."
Lin Zhaodi didn't mind, and took the sweat towel to wipe the sweat on her forehead.
"Senior sister, I'm embarrassed that you are so polite."
Li An made a joke, went straight to the weapon rack, drew his spear, and raised his gun horizontally!
Lin Zhaodi smiled in return, didn't answer, stepped aside, and quietly watched Li An practice guns.
"Senior sister, how about we compare the blades today?"
Li An said in his mouth, his hand kept moving, and he raised his gun and stabbed forward while stepping forward.
Yesterday, the two fought, and Li An suddenly found that the senior sister who used to make herself feel tricky was very easy for him to deal with yesterday, but the improvement of specialization was really limited.
Li Ang thought about comparing the blades to see if the improvement of specialization would be greater.
How do you know that Lin Zhaodi said:
"I don't know how to fight?"
"Won't?"
Lin Zhaodi also saw Li An's surprised expression in her eyes, and she said softly: "I don't know all the gossip I learned, and I don't have the practice of blades. ”
Li An was stunned for a moment, then stopped shooting and looked at Lin Zhaodi.
"Just listen to my name, brother. I was fourteen years old at the time, and my family was so poor that they couldn't even support one more mouthful, so they planned to sell me to someone else as a servant.
But my parents didn't know that the broker was lying to them. There are no such big families at all, and the brokers just want to sell me into a prostitute. ”
Lin Zhaodi came to the rooftop and lowered her head to look at the crowd of people rubbing shoulders on the street below.
"Luckily, I escaped. I met Uncle Jiang at the door of the medical hall, and as soon as he saw me, he said that my eyes were very stubborn like other girls.
Uncle Jiang saved me, and the Bagua palm I practiced was only a note left by his girl before her death, not complete. It didn't take long for Uncle Jiang to entrust me to Master's care and leave Hong Kong alone.
As for Master, except for teaching me some medical skills for bruises, he rarely interferes with the Baguazhang I practice, and only occasionally I ask Master for advice if I don't understand something. ”
Li An suddenly realized that Uncle Jiang in the mouth of the senior sister should follow the old Jiang by Gong Er's side.
He looked at Lin Zhaodi, who seemed to have no waves.
"I'm sorry to bring up your past."
Lin Zhaodi turned around and said in an understatement:
"You don't think I'm sad when I talk about the past, do you? No, it won't. And it's been almost seven years, and I've seen it a long time ago. ”
Is that really the case?
Li An asked in his heart.
He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said:
"Why don't I teach you how to fight?"
Lin Zhaodi glanced at the spear in his hand.
"Do you practice guns?"
"Twin knives."
"For the Thai boxers who have kicked the gym in Yau Ma Tei one after another in recent days, the National Martial Arts Association has responded, and Master Chen of the Chua Lee Buddha Martial Arts Gym will come forward to compete with the Naifeng Boxing King of the Muay Thai Performance Troupe."
Ang Lee put the newspaper back in the stall.
For three days in a row, the turmoil in the Muay Thai division seems to be intensifying.
For Ang Lee, the biggest impact is that he can't find these martial arts masters in the short term. Every day when I go back from work, except for entertaining customers in the barber hall, I can only accompany my sister to practice knives the rest of the time.
Ang Lee also thought about whether to find those Thais to fight.
But considering that this matter was already in an uproar, even a famous master in the martial arts world did not make a move.
He is a little-known young man who has no martial arts hall signboard to run to show off, isn't this funny.
Ah Xin walked from the dock with sweat on his head.
"Brother An, I put all the soda and cigarettes in the warehouse on the dock. If you want to replenish the goods in the north and south of the country, you can go directly to the warehouse on the dock to get it. ”
"It's hard work, take a break and take a breath."
Ang Lee handed over a bottle of soda.
Two days ago, the three newspapers of the northbound and northbound were already open.
Business is surprisingly good.
And through the comparison of the turnover of these two days, although the three newspapers of the North-South Bound are only newly opened, compared with the newspapers of the Triangle Wharf, the business of the North-South Bound is much better.
The main reason is that most of the customers there are citizens who go north and south and small bosses who come to see the goods, and the sales of relatively profitable goods such as cigarettes and soft drinks with better grades are better.
Ah Xin took the soda, took a sip, and then stopped talking.
Ang Lee looked into his eyes. "What's the problem?"
Ah Xin pondered for a moment and said: "Brother An, now there are six newspapers, and if only two people get the goods, they are a little too busy." ”
"Well, I know that."
Ang Lee nodded:
"I've already told Wu Shihao to ask him to find a few more guys to come over, so that there will be plenty of manpower."
The report is a stall, and there is no pavement.
In order to save time and effort, Li Ang asked Ah Xin to prepare cigarettes, soda and other goods in the warehouse in advance, so that he could get the goods nearby when the file was out of stock.
Previously, there were only three reports on the dock, but now it has increased to six, and the manpower for replenishment and delivery is a bit stretched.
After chatting with Ah Xin for a few words, Li An got up and left the newspaper.
Pier 6.
Xi Wei was explaining things to Li Jianjun, and when he saw Li An coming to the dock, he handed the bill in his hand to Li Jianjun and hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother An!"
"Have you found a target?"
Xi Wei stepped forward and said in a low voice, "The foreman of berth sixty-seven." ”
