"Master!"

"Came here so early today?"

"There's a guy to take care of the file, and I'll be back if there's nothing to do."

"Master, I'll come."

"Hmm."

Li An stepped forward to take the razor from his master's hand.

With a slight sizzling sound, the fine white villi whizzed off along with the shaved keratinous cortex.

A line of heaven walked to the side of the mirror and sat down on the recliner, seeing that Li An's movements were steady, he couldn't help nodding secretly.

After a while, when Ang Lee put down the razor, he wrung a hot towel and applied it to the guest's face.

The first-line genius asked casually:

"You taught Zhao Di's double knives?"

Li An nodded, and took over with a normal face:

"Senior sister hasn't learned the blade, just when I was sparring with Master Wu of the Nanzhi Martial Arts Gym before, I learned two butterfly double knives with him, so I taught it to my senior sister by the way."

Anyway, a glimmer of heaven also knew about the matter of coming to ask for advice, and Li An simply pushed it on Master Wu's head.

Moreover, the knife technique he taught Lin Zhaodi was also a mixture of the double knives of Baguazhang and the butterfly double knives of Mo Jiaquan.

When the two were fighting, Lin Zhaodi made some changes according to her Baguazhang playing style, which made it feel a little plausible.

However, if you can fight, you can do it.

A glimmer of heaven didn't think much about it, but said:

"The knife skills are good, but they are a little miscellaneous but not refined, with bells and whistles. A single knife looks at the hand, a double knife looks away, and with the Baguazhang walking around, it is barely enough.

This knife technique, in the final analysis, is just three words, fast, accurate, and ruthless.

You practice like this with Zhao Di first, and when you become proficient later, I can help her correct it. ”

"Got it, Master."

Li Ang's hand kept moving, and he raised his head in response, with a teachable expression on his face.

"Walk slowly."

Ang Lee sent the guest out the door.

A glimmer of heaven then got up and stepped forward and closed the door of the store.

"Follow me." He turned around and motioned for Ang Lee to follow.

Come to the rooftop.

A line of heaven went straight to the armory rack, and Li An found that there were suddenly three extra stone locks next to the armory.

"One force will drop ten. Just because you can lift a gun doesn't mean you have enough strength. ”

"In the past, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the martial arts examination was examined, and the first item in the township examination was to lift the stone lock. The stone locks used in the general examination are 100 catties, 200 catties, and 300 catties, the heavier the weight, the higher the score.

Therefore, most of the boxers who take the exam generally use a 200-pound stone lock when practicing. ”

"As for the Wu Jinshi in the back, Wu Zhuangyuan. At the very least, you have to practice the 300-pound stone lock to the point that you will be sure if you lift weights lightly. ”

A glimmer of heaven said as he pointed to the three stone locks placed on the ground.

"The three stone locks here are 100 catties, 200 catties, and 300 catties. When you can use your arm to hold up the 300-pound stone lock and lift the weightless plate shelf, it means that you have practiced outside the home. ”

"Phew!"

A line of heaven was lifted with his feet, and the largest stone lock rushed straight up.

Seeing that the stone lock began to fall, a line of heaven stretched out his elbow to catch the stone lock steadily, and put on a posture of two instrument piles.

Yitian shouted softly, stepped forward with his right foot, put on a posture, and three hundred catties of stone locks flew on his arm.

Li An on the side looked at it secretly, it was hard to imagine that a boxer in his sixties could still do this.

Li An originally thought that with his three fist techniques entering the room, his strength should be not much worse than his master.

But now it seems. It's still a bit of a well.

Putting aside the competition and the like. With the control of a single line of heaven, he is more than a step behind.

After a set of Bajiquan fights, the stone lock also landed firmly on the ground.

Li An saw that his forehead was already sweating, so he hurriedly went to the corner and took a sweat towel on the clothesline and handed it over.

"Master."

Yi Yitian took the sweat towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said, "You go and try it." ”

"Yes, Master."

Ang Lee nodded and stepped forward.

"Start with a hundred pounds."

Before the first line of heavenly words was finished, Li An had already come to the three-hundred-pound stone lock.

Drawing the gourd in the same way, lifting the right foot, the stone lock rose to the sky, and then landed steadily on his arm.

A glimmer of heaven suddenly looked at Li An in surprise.

"Master, I'll try the weight of three hundred catties of stone locks first."

Li An turned his head and said to the first line of heaven. Seeing that he did not object, he put on a posture.

This is not for him to show off, in addition to the improvement of his skills, he will not increase the experience of fighting with people out of thin air, but the external skills that match the boxing skills will be improved simultaneously.

The strengthening of the body by the three fist techniques makes his strength not weak.

It's just that as the posture swings out, Ang Lee finds that the strength is enough, but the control is still a lot worse.

Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his forehead, and the set of small racks was only halfway hit, and the stone locks flying on his arms fell with them.

Li An quickly grabbed the wooden grip in the middle of the stone lock and took a heavy breath.

"Not bad."

A line of surprise and relief: "It seems that those two stone locks are a little redundant, and it is a bit unexpected for me to make such rapid progress in you." In the future, you will use these 300 catties of stone to lock the plate shelf. ”

The joy between the words is not disguised at all.

His gaze fell on Ang Lee and nodded in satisfaction.

"Put the stone lock aside first, take a breath, and I'll teach you the six major moves of Bajiquan."

At the same time, Cargo Terminal No. 6.

The screeching of tires against the ground suddenly sounded, and two patrol cars came to a steady stop at the entrance to the dock.

Pedestrians on the road unconsciously stopped.

"Hurry up and get out of the car."

He Yi gritted half of the cigarette and urged.

With the sound of chaotic footsteps, six or seven uniforms stood neatly in front of the patrol car.

He opened the passenger door.

When he got out of the car, Dashan from the patrol car behind him had already walked over with a line of military uniforms.

"Brother Shan, let's go."

He Yi greeted and ignored the pedestrians who stopped. He Dashan led a dozen or so military uniforms to rush towards the dock like wolves.

Berth 63.

"I don't have the strength to work, I play with women until my legs are weak, don't hurry up!"

Wang Lao Liu sat on the stool with a cigarette in his mouth, and shouted impatiently at the coolie carrying the goods in front of him.

Not far behind him, a noisy voice suddenly came.

A horse boy with a bit of ruffian on his face glanced back, leaned in front of him and whispered:

"Sixth brother, an errand guy is here."

Wang Lao Liutou didn't reply, and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Pick that star! What about the fucking bad guys? It's not just that they come to collect the fees, and they will just give them a few dozen yuan. ”

Ma Zai glanced back again, and saw more than a dozen bad guys coming straight towards them with unkind eyes, and hurriedly touched the boss's arm.

"Sixth brother, something seems wrong."

"Smack!"

"It's all a fuss about collecting a fee, what can be wrong."

Wang Lao Liu slapped Ma Zai's head and turned to look at him scoldingly.

"Six!"

Dashan shouted, Wang Lao Liu was frightened, and hurriedly put on a smiling face, got up and greeted him.

Wang Lao Liu smiled all over his face, and hurriedly took out a few thin bills from his trouser pocket and stuffed them into Dashan's shirt pocket.

"I said why is there a magpie calling, it turns out that two sirs are here."

Dashan didn't give Wang Lao Liu any face, slapped him on the head, and scolded when he opened his mouth:

"Hello old mother! Where are magpies on the seaside? ”

Wang Lao Liu was speechless for a while, sneering and not daring to answer.

Dashan waved his hand:

"Handcuff him."

A military uniform pulled out his waist and stepped forward.

"Sir, stop kidding, what did I do?"

Wang Lao Liu was shocked and retreated straight back. Five or six younger brothers who were staring at the coolies in the distance hurriedly ran over.

"Phew!"

As soon as the gunshots rang out, it instantly attracted the attention of the entire dock.

A group of military uniforms pulled out the batons on their waists and pressed them on.

The muzzle of the mountain moved downward, almost clubbing Wang Lao Liu's face.

"Don't you have the courage to resist arrest and attack the police? Believe it or not, I shot you? ”

Wang Laoliu's face turned pale: "Sir, this joke can't be made"

"Shut up!"

Ah Shan interrupted Wang Lao Liu's words and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Take it away! Take them all! ”

The military uniform pressed Wang Lao Liu's group of five people to the ground like a wolf and handcuffed them.

At this time, He Yi glanced at Xi Wei, who was watching. Xi Wei comprehended and strode back to his berth.

"Brother Jie, Brother Hao"

"Marijuana!"

"Ah sir, a little meaning, not a respect."

It was a middle-aged man in his forties who spoke with an open chest. He leaned up with a smile on his face, took out a thick wad of Hong Kong dollars and stuffed it over.

Dashan snorted heavily.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

"Someone reported you for organizing smuggling, come with us."

"Sir, you know I'm not a snakehead"

Dashan waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Marijuana's words.

"What's the use of you telling me? Since the Yuen Long case, I have warned you not to do human snake business, and now someone has reported it, whether you have done it or not, come with us to the errand hall. ”

Seeing Dashan's serious tone, Ma Cheng glanced at Wang Laoliu and his party who were handcuffed behind him, frowned and said:

It's no problem to take a trip. But Ah Sir asked me to explain to my subordinates what happened on the dock first. ”

"You don't have to explain, take it all!"

Dashan waved his hand directly.

"Cat Glory"

"Pretty Stormy."

"Ah Sir"

"Take them away, take them all!"

He Yi put his hands on his waist and shouted at the top of his voice.

The uniforms are like wolves and tigers, coming fast and going fast.

In less than half an hour, nearly twenty people were taken away by the messengers, and only the coolies under the four foremen were left looking at each other.

For a moment, the dock fell into an eerie silence.

But after watching the excitement, the shipowner manager standing at the bow of the ship looked at the coolies gathered together in twos and threes, and the goods stacked on the dock, but his face was full of embarrassment.

I couldn't help but follow the gangplank and came to the pier.

"What are you doing in a daze, what are you doing?"

"The foreman is not here, who will get paid for the work?"

A coolie complained.

The shipowner's manager struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry about wages, you just need to choose someone to talk about." ”

“.”

The coolies just looked at him and were indifferent.

After working for most of the day, of course they want the salary.

But who knows when their foremen will come back, rashly agreed, how many goods were loaded and how many were unloaded, they also did not know.

When the foreman comes back, if he says that the payment is less, none of them can afford to carry this pot.

Talker?

No one is a fool to make a head bird for a little more than a penny?

Seeing that these coolies in front of him seemed to be unable to enter the oil and salt, the shipowner's manager was a little anxious, and cursed in a low voice, as if he was scolding his mother.

At this time, Wu Shihao and Xi Wei came over unhurriedly with fifty or sixty coolies carrying thick wooden sticks with small arms.

"Manager Huang!"

Wu Shihao shouted.

The middle-aged man known as Manager Huang followed the voice and looked over.

"It's you."

Wu Shihao came to Manager Huang with a grin.

"How about I help you get these goods?"

The two seem familiar. Manager Huang pushed the black frame on the bridge of his nose and frowned.

"You're not in the broker business, when did you become a foreman?"

"Who says we're only brokers? Manager Huang didn't know, in fact, we also did the foreman, we have two berths on the sixth pier, and there is also the second pier. There are more than 600 coolies under his hands. ”

Wu Shihao chuckled.

Then I made a package ticket:

"Just order the goods like this, I will definitely be able to help you get on the ship, and it will not delay the departure of Manager Huang's freighter."

Manager Huang glanced at the goods stacked on the dock, thought for a while, and nodded helplessly:

"Okay then."

Wu Shihao's words changed:

"However, after finishing the work, Manager Huang has to pay us the first half of the day's payment."

When Manager Huang heard this, he stared at him with unkind eyes.

Wu Shihao didn't care, and explained with a smile.

"It's all bitter to eat at the dock haha, I'm ready to let the coolies under Wang Lao Liu continue to work. But then again, if I don't pay for the goods for the first half of the day, where will I have enough money to pay them.

Can't you just get half a day's wages for a day's work? You say yes, right? ”

Manager Huang looked at Wu Shihao for a while before saying:

"Yes, as long as you don't delay our departure."

"Haha, definitely not."

Wu Shihao stretched out his hand in front of Manager Huang, and the two shook hands.

"Manager Huang is a cheerful person and happy to cooperate! We have been dealing with each other for a long time, so I will ask Manager Huang to take more care of us in the future. ”

"Nature."

Manager Huang suddenly laughed.

He turned around and returned to the boat along the gangplank. His eyes were on Wu Shihao on the dock.

The sound of Wu Shihao and Manager Huang's conversation just now was not small, and these coolies who heard the words of the two were talking in a low voice.

Wu Shihao coughed twice and cleared his throat.

"You should have heard what I said to the shipowner's manager. If you want to get paid, then go to work. When the work is finished, how much work you have done, and you will get the money, and I will not give you any less wages. ”

When the words landed, there was a commotion among the coolies around them.

It's just that no one has expressed their position, and they are looking at each other in twos and threes, as if these coolies are waiting for others to take the lead in agreeing.

Wu Shihao quietly glanced at several of them.

A coolie spoke up:

"Really? You're not going to lie to us, are you? ”

Another coolie took over and chimed in:

"That is, what if Wang Lao Liu comes back?"

Wu Shihao had a smile on his face.

"You don't have to worry about these problems, if Wang Lao Liu comes back, he will only look for me Wu Shihao, and he will not blame you."

"As for wages, don't worry about it, the sixty-seven and sixty-eighth berths on this pier are all taken care of by our brothers. You just have to work, and the money will not be less than yours. ”

"Hurry up and work, otherwise you will miss the shipowner's manager, and the salary will not be paid!"

Most of the coolies were still hesitant.

It's just that as the people who had questioned earlier carried the goods and walked onto the ship one after another, the others glanced at each other and slowly dispersed.

Manager Huang, who was standing at the bow of the boat, saw the coolies start to work, and nodded to Wu Shihao.

Wu Shihao smiled back.

A shirtless, sturdy man walked over and handed him a ledger.

"Brother Hao, the ledger is here."

Wu Shihao opened the account book and looked at it, then handed it back to the man.

"Wang Shengguang, I'll leave it to you here. Take the three brothers to take stock of the goods and distribute the chips to the workers who are working. ”

"Got it, Brother Hao."

Wang Shengguang answered, shouted to the three of them and turned to leave.

"Brother Jie, let's go. There are still three berths, so we have to hurry up, otherwise we may really miss the things of those shipowners and managers. ”

After Wu Shihao finished speaking, he walked towards the No. 64 berth first.
