"Chen Qing ......"

Chen Qing subconsciously replied.

When he had finished answering, he came back to his senses, and then he was amazed.

What's going on?

How could it be this cheongsam woman who came out?

What about Sun Bing and Luo Gang, the two ruffians?!

"Chen Qing, Chen Qing."

When Chen Qing was surprised, the cheongsam woman pronounced his name twice in her mouth, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, it is rare to have people like you in this era." ”

After complimenting her, she looked Chen Qing up and down again, and said lightly: "It's still here at this point in time, you shouldn't be studying, right?" Judging from what you're wearing, you don't look like a rich family, and you probably can't afford to live in a nearby house, so you're from the edge of the city? Depending on your age and thinness, there will be no company or shop in the vicinity to recruit you, and at most you can only sell newspapers or cigarettes and candy, or shoe shine and repair shoes, and you have no canvas bag for newspapers or hanging boxes for cigarettes and candy, and there is an empty shoe stand on the 'Star Splendour'...... Are you a shoemaker? ”

“……”

After a short moment of observation, the other party saw Chen Qing through.

Chen Qing was speechless in this regard.

And after explaining Chen Qing's profession, the cheongsam woman said: "The job of a shoemaker is a bit barely enough to make ends meet, let alone any future, for the sake of your sense of justice just now, I will give you a chance to change your fate." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Chen Qing couldn't help but be stunned.

The cheongsam woman ignored his stunned look, walked to the side of the road with a step, waved to stop the rickshaw, and continued to say to herself: "My name is He Xihong, you go to the 'Tiger Gate' on the other side of Songshan Road to report my name, you can learn boxing there for free for a year, as for whether you can seize this opportunity to change your fate, it's up to you." ”

As she spoke, a rickshaw quickly pulled up in front of her.

"Go to Songshan Road, Tiger Gate."

boarded the rickshaw, and after reporting the address, the cheongsam woman who called herself He Xihong gradually walked away in the rickshaw.

And Chen Qing had been stunned to watch the other party's figure disappear, and then he suddenly recalled the doubts in his heart before, driven by curiosity, he cautiously came to the mouth of the alley in front of him, and looked inside.

In the next second, his eyes suddenly widened!

I saw that in the alley, except for a few garbage cans, there were only Sun Bing and Luo Gang lying horizontally in the alley, as if they had fainted.

"This ......"

……

After returning to the shoe stall, Chen Qing quickly put away the unfolded shoe box, and then left the Grand Cross Street crossbody.

It's not that he's in a hurry to go to the "tiger-shaped gate", but he used a whistle to pretend to be a patrolman, and if he doesn't leave quickly, he is likely to be caught by a patrol who hears the whistle nearby.

The patrol of this world, although it does not pay much attention to the security cases of civilians, is very united internally.

As long as the whistle is sounded, the nearby patrols will basically come over to check the situation and provide support if necessary.

Chen Qing didn't want to be arrested in the patrol room for pretending to be a patrol arrester.

Of course, as for what kind of "tiger-shaped gate" to learn boxing, Chen Qing wants to say that it is false to say that he is not moved.

At the level of science and technology in this world, only the level of thermal weapons such as guns and bombs has been developed, and large-scale and large-scale lethal thermal weapons have not yet appeared.

Moreover, due to the limited industrial level, firearms are not popular, and they cannot reach the level where everyone in the patrol room is equipped with a gun.

For example, the rookie assistant patrol in various districts of Qianyang City is equipped with a stick and whistle, and it depends more on his skills to catch people.

In the same way, ordinary people without any background want to make a name for themselves in a society where all walks of life are monopolized and gangs are rampant, and the only thing they can rely on is their skills.

If you want to rely on your brain, you have to mix it up first, and then you have the right to speak, so that others can listen to you.

In this kind of atmosphere, martial arts halls that teach people boxing techniques and martial arts are particularly popular.

For example, there are more than a dozen martial arts halls in Qianyang City, and there are countless people who teach boxing in private.

In the past three months, Chen Qing traveled over the past three months, and every day in order to avoid Sun Bing and Luo Gang, the two ruffians, he left from the Great Cross Street and made a detour in all directions of Qianyang City, southeast and northwest, and almost walked through the entire Qianyang City.

I also saw a lot of martial arts halls along the way.

During this period, he also thought about learning some boxing and kicking in these martial arts halls, hoping to beat Sun Bing and Luo Gang and no longer be bullied.

But it's a pity that those martial arts halls with doors and households have very expensive tuition fees every month, which he can't afford at all, and those masters who teach boxing privately, Chen Qing has no channel to know.

In addition, Chen Qing had never seen what these martial arts boxers were like, so he didn't know if it could really be useful, and he had to set up a stall to shine his shoes every day, so he didn't have the energy to learn at all, so this idea was gone.

But now, witnessing the cheongsam woman named He Xihong, who knocked Sun Bing and Luo Gang unconscious in the alley as a woman, Chen Qing's heart suddenly became hot.

"Although I didn't see the process with my own eyes, there is a big gap between the physical fitness of men and women, and the odds of winning a single against a single woman are very small, not to mention a pair of two, and there is no injury, this sister definitely has real kung fu!"

By drawing inferences, the "tiger-shaped door" mentioned by the other party must also be genuine.

And most importantly, because of his righteous deed, the other party promised to let him be in his middle school for free for one year!

Of course, Chen Qing will not miss this kind of great opportunity!

After closing the stall and leaving Grand Cross Street, he went straight in the direction of Songshan Road.

About thirty minutes later, Chen Qing came to Songshan Road.

Qianyang City is divided into six major districts, namely Yunyang District in the center, Nanba District in the south, Jinguan District in the north, Hexi District in the west, Wuqing District in the east, and Jiuhua District more than 30 kilometers away from Qianyang City.

Songshan Road is still within the boundaries of Yunyang District, but it is close to Nanba District, and the surrounding houses have changed from four or five stories high to two or three stories, and the people on the street have become much sparser.

After Chen Qing came here, it didn't take much effort to find the location of the "Tiger Gate".

"Tiger-shaped door" is located in the middle of this street, occupies a very wide area, the outermost is a circle of two or three meters of cement wall, in the middle of this wall opened a portal, there are three stone stairs cast in front of the door, on both sides of each place is a stone tiger that is about as tall as a person, there is a plaque hanging on the door, engraved with "tiger-shaped door" three vigorous and powerful characters!

When Chen Qing arrived, the gate of the "Tiger-shaped Gate" was already open, and the sound of exercise could be heard from inside through the wall.

Chen Qing hesitated for a moment, then walked in.

Walking into the gate, the first thing that caught Chen Qing's eyes was a front yard of thirty or forty square meters, in which there were about a dozen teenagers wearing loose practice clothes with white upper bodies and black lower bodies, walking around the pile under the supervision of two strong young men.

One person at a time, constantly detouring in different postures.

Before Chen Qing could take a closer look, he saw one of the two strong young men walking towards him and asked, "Little brother, who are you looking for?" ”

When Chen Qing heard this, he replied: "Sister He Xihong asked me to come, and she said that she could let me learn boxing here for free for one year." ”

"Senior Sister Hong?"

The strong young man who asked, as well as the other strong young man, were stunned.

They did receive this explanation, but Senior Sister Hong's original words were: "If a little shoemaker comes to learn boxing these days, he will be exempted from tuition for one year." ”

This sentence made them think that at least tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, these other parties would come, who knew that it would come so quickly!

You must know that Senior Sister Hong has only been back for less than ten minutes......

While these thoughts flashed quickly in his heart, the strong young man who asked replied, "Little brother, wait a minute, I'll go and ask Senior Sister Hong." ”

With that, the strong young man turned and walked towards the depths of the tiger-shaped gate.

Seeing this, Chen Qing nodded slightly, and then while waiting, he looked curiously at the dozen or so teenagers walking around the pile.

……

Tiger door, backyard.

In a courtyard of about 20 square meters.

He Xihong, who had changed into a loose practice uniform, sat at the stone table in the center of the courtyard, closed her eyes lightly, and frowned slightly.

Beside her, an old man with gray temples and an appearance that looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, wearing a white practice uniform, and was in good spirits, was standing behind her, also frowning and constantly applying needles to her head.

After a while, He Xihong's head was covered with tiny silver needles.

When the last two silver needles as thin as a millimeter gently penetrated He Xihong's temples, the old man stepped back with a long sigh of relief and asked, "Ah Hong, how do you feel?" ”

He Xihong slowly opened her eyes, still frowning slightly, and replied: "It seems to be ...... Nothing to use. ”

When the old man heard this, he frowned and sighed: "It seems that the white-skinned pigs over there in the West Continent do have something, and I'm afraid you have to find someone from the 'Old Turtle' side to see your situation." ”

When He Xihong heard this, her slightly frowning brows couldn't help but wrinkle tighter, and she was about to say something, but as soon as she spoke, before she could say anything, she kept silent and looked at the arch of the small courtyard consciously.

The old man was also aware of it, and looked at it together.

After a while, I saw a strong young man walk into the backyard, came to the arch of the small courtyard, and said in a loud voice: "Senior Sister Hong, that little shoemaker is here, do you want to come out and have a look?" ”

This is to ask He Xihong to confirm it and prevent someone from impersonating - although this probability is very small.

In the small courtyard.

A hint of surprise flashed in He Xihong's eyes, obviously he didn't expect that little shoemaker to leave behind the shoemaker's livelihood so quickly!

She had only been back for a short time, and she was in a rickshaw again, which meant that the little shoemaker had been packing up her things almost not long before she had walked on her front foot.

This decisiveness made her a little impressed and interested.

"Huh~"

A faint jet sound suddenly came, and I saw that all the silver needles on He Xihong's head flew down!

Then, she stood up and walked out of the small courtyard.

Seeing this, the old man on the side was slightly surprised on his face, and at the same time, he also followed out of the small courtyard.

"Senior sister."

The sturdy young man outside the small courtyard nodded and shouted after He Xihong walked out.

And when he saw the old man who came out with him, he seemed to be startled, and hurriedly shouted respectfully: "Master! ”

The old man is the owner of the tiger-shaped door, Huang Xunhu!

"Hmm."

Facing the greeting of the strong young man, Huang Xunhu nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Ah Ming, you go and bring that little shoemaker to the middle courtyard, and after your Senior Sister Hong confirms it, teach him 'Tiger Steps' first." ”

"Yes!"

After hearing this, the strong young man known as Ah Ming hurriedly bowed slightly in response, and then turned around and left the backyard.

After the strong young man left, Huang Xunhu looked at He Xihong and said: "Ah Hong, you have to recuperate in your current state, don't worry too much about other things, I'll write a letter to the 'old turtle' later, and I'll take you over to see when the letter is replied." ”

When He Xihong heard this, she frowned slightly and thought about it, then nodded and replied, "Okay, then it's troublesome Master." ”

"Be polite to Master."

Huang Xunhu waved his hand absently.

……

Tiger-shaped gate, front yard.

When the strong young man came back, Chen Qing hurriedly took his gaze back from the teenagers who were winding around the pile.

The strong young man naturally saw Chen Qing's movements, but he didn't care, after all, it was no surprise that the "tiger steps" practiced by these students would be taught to the other party next.

I only heard him smile and say to Chen Qing: "Little brother, please follow me." ”

With that, he turned around and walked towards the middle courtyard.

Seeing this, Chen Qing naturally hurriedly followed.

Soon, the two of them passed through the arch of the front yard and came to the middle courtyard of the tiger-shaped gate.

The middle courtyard of the tiger-shaped gate is much wider than the front courtyard!

There is a martial arts training ground of dozens of square meters here, and there are rows of weapon racks around the training ground, and various weapons are placed horizontally or vertically on the weapon racks, such as knives, guns, clubs, swords, axes, hammers, hooks, forks, claws, and so on.

In addition, there is an ancestral hall on the side of the middle courtyard, the door is open, and there are columns of tablets enshrined in it, because of the distance, Chen Qing can't see clearly, but he can probably guess in his heart that it is the inheritance ancestors of the tiger-shaped gate.

"My name is Yang Ming, you can call me Senior Brother Yang Ming in the future."

After the strong young man took Chen Qing to the martial arts training ground in the middle courtyard, he came to the door of the ancestral hall, and after leading Chen Qing to face the ancestral hall, he turned around and spoke.

After hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and shouted, "Senior Brother Yang Ming." ”

Yang Ming nodded, and then glanced in the direction of the arch where the middle courtyard and the backyard meet.

I saw that He Xihong and Huang Xunhu were already waiting here.

After seeing Yang Mingwang coming, He Xihong nodded slightly, confirming Chen Qing's identity.

Seeing this, Yang Ming retracted his gaze, looked at Chen Qing and said, "I have already confirmed with Senior Sister Hong just now, starting today, you can learn boxing for free in the Tiger Shape Gate for one year. ”

"Really? Thank you, Senior Brother Yang Ming! ”

When Chen Qing heard this, his face showed joy at the right time, and he hugged his fists and thanked him.

"You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank Senior Sister Hong."

Yang Ming waved his hand, then stopped dwelling on the topic and asked, "Have you practiced any punches or techniques before?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Qing shook his head.

Neither in his previous life nor in this life, he had not practiced these.

There are no conditions in this life, although I have heard some in my previous life, but in my previous life it was a society ruled by law, and my uncles preached every day that "I lost and was hospitalized, and I won and went to prison", as a good citizen who abides by the law, he will naturally not increase the work burden of his uncles with nothing to do.

What's more, his physical condition does not allow for too intense exercise.

"Haven't you practiced anything?"

Seeing Chen Qing shaking his head, Yang Ming frowned slightly, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll tell you about the origin and essence of fist and foot techniques first." ”
