Chapter 22: Competition

The feeling of waking up from this hangover is really uncomfortable, not only is the inside of the head and melon seeds the same as digging out the paste, but even the stomach is very uncomfortable. The best analogy would be that someone put their hand down my throat, pulled the intestines out, tied a bow, and stuffed them back.

As I sat on the bed to stabilize my mind, I heard a soft and touching voice, and I was startled by this beautiful sound, and I looked up sharply, only to see a gentle girl standing at the door, as if she had just entered.

The girl walked a few steps closer and said to me, "Did I wake you up by the sound of the door opening?"

I tightened the quilt on my body and asked in a panic, "Let's not talk about this for now, let me ask you first, who are you, how can you come and go in and out of my residence at will, what are you going to do?"

The girl smiled: "Xiao Gongzi, don't panic, I am the manager in charge of this floor, and I ordered someone to send you here when you got drunk with the owner yesterday." Just now, the owner asked me to come over to see if Xiao Gongzi was up, which disturbed your sweet dream. ”

"Where is Brother Liu now?"

"He's downstairs in the dining room, and a few other people are waiting for you, and the proprietor tells you when you will get up, and when they will have breakfast. Seeing that it's almost time for lunch, I'm afraid their stomachs are already hungry. ”

I looked at the time, but wasn't it, if I had packed it all up, it would really be noon, and this wine would have been a real delay, and I had made up my mind that I would never drink like this bear in the future. I looked around, but I didn't see my clothes, so I casually asked, "Where are my clothes?"

"After Xiao Gongzi came back yesterday, he vomited very badly due to drunkenness, and the clothes on his body were stained. I told the waiter to clean it for you, but it hasn't dried yet. I'm going to prepare a set of clean clothes for you, Xiao Gongzi can take care of it briefly, and I'll be back later. ”

"Don't always call Xiao Gongzi one by one, it sounds really awkward to me, my name is Xiao Jinchuan, you can call me Dachuan. I won't bother you about the clothes, I brought a few sets of change of clothes, just in the backpack, you go and get busy first, tell Brother Liu, I'll go down to see him when I'm ready. ”

The girl said yes and withdrew, and I sat down a little longer and got out of bed. After a quick freshening up, I picked out a set of clean clothes and put them on, and hurried to the restaurant downstairs. It's just that when I walked with this foot, it was like stepping on cotton, and I was weak and weak, and my body was still a little weak.

When they came to the restaurant, as the girl said, Liu Jiuri and the other six people were sitting in the restaurant. Seeing me coming, Liu Jiuri greeted me with a smile: "Brother Xiao, you can really sleep, we have been waiting for you from ten o'clock until now, originally we were going to make an appointment to have breakfast together, everyone can get to know each other, look at the current time, we can only skip the breakfast link." Seeing that you didn't drink less yesterday, today I specially asked the kitchen to prepare some light side dishes, and I will take you to eat the characteristics of our Hecheng in the evening. Come on, I'll show you a few of them first. ”

Saying that, Liu Jiuri pulled me to the others with great enthusiasm, pulled a chair next to him and sat down, and said to them: "This is Xiao Jinchuan, the son of Uncle Xiao I just mentioned to you, they all say that the tiger father has no dogs, but this Brother Xiao's alcohol consumption is really far worse than our Uncle Xiao." I think back then, Uncle Xiao and I could drink until dawn, and each person drank not ten catties but eight catties of wine, which was really enjoyable at that time. Speaking of this, Liu Jiuri was a little distracted, but he quickly pulled his emotions back.

He turned his head and pointed to a person and said to me: "All of you here today are from our Wude Hall, but Brother Xiao is the person in charge of the Criminal Division, and we are the people of the Zhenwu Division." This person's name is Liu Erlang, and he is the same as me on the surface, he is the person in charge here, and we appear in front of outsiders in the form of partners, but in fact, the position in Zhenwu Division is the same as mine, and we are all deacons here. Because of the special task of the Zhenwu Division, there will be two deacons in each place to control the overall situation. ”

Pointing at the other people with his hand, he continued: "They are the inspectors here, responsible for the investigation and collection of intelligence. This person's name is Wenhao, his name is Li Ren, he is Xian Tong, Zeng Mingyi, Che Fangui, and yesterday's guy is Guo Shouyi, he should be in the back kitchen now, and he will come later, you get to know each other first, and the rest will slowly understand later, our group of people is very easy to get along with, there are not so many rules, as long as they get along, nothing is a matter in my place. ”

After listening to Liu Jiuri's introduction, I greeted them one by one: "In the future, I will ask you to take care of your little brother, my little brother doesn't understand many rules when he first arrives, and if there is anything wrong, I hope to give advice." ”

Liu Erlang also said politely: "I also had a relationship with Uncle Xiao, and I know very well his personality, even if you are his son, it must be no worse, in the future, we will get along as our own brothers, don't be so polite to us, just be casual, otherwise none of us will be comfortable." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, don't be restrained, let go of some, we are all comfortable. After eating later, I will take you to our practice room to have a look, and it is just right for us to see how Uncle Xiao's descendants are martial arts. I didn't have time to ask yesterday, what kind of sect and sect does Brother Xiao inherit?" Liu Jiuri said to me.

I smiled embarrassedly: "I'm really ashamed, I didn't worship any sect, and the martial arts I learned were all taught by my father, as for what martial arts attainments Brother Liu said, I am really ashamed, and I can see that I only have a samurai level." ”

"Brother Xiao is really modest, the level of this martial jade is just a mark, it doesn't mean anything, wait a minute, let's learn from each other, even if it's entertainment after dinner, activities and activities. Before Liu Jiuri's words fell, Guo Shouyi took a few waiters to bring up the prepared meal.

After lunch, Liu Jiu took a few of us to the practice room. In fact, I have always had a soft spot for the decoration style here, whether it is a private room or a hall, it is a special retro style from the inside to the outside, and even this practice room is very retro. The clothes each of them wear are full of antiquity. Not only them, but even the usual service staff are wearing this kind of antique costume.

On the way to the practice room, I asked Liu Jiuri, why the decoration and dress here are like this, I thought the answer would be what business characteristics and other words, but I didn't expect Liu Jiuri to answer like this, he said: " These things are left by our ancestors, all of them are our unique cultural traditions, and now people are very assimilated by Western gadgets, so I want to start from myself and pass on the things left by our ancestors, even if we don't get recognition, but we will definitely get the approval of a small number of people to do so. ”

The competition platform in the practice room was even bigger than the one I saw at Shen Xue's cousin's wedding. Standing on the edge of the ring, Liu Jiuri said to the other five: "Which of you wants to learn about Brother Xiao's martial arts?"

Without waiting for me to react, Liu Erlang preemptively said: "Brother Xiao, I wonder if Liu can ask you for a few tricks?"

As soon as the words fell, Xian Tong behind him stopped him: "Second brother, you have been tired for several days, don't do it, besides, you are wearing an iron horse-level martial jade, Brother Xiao will definitely be resistant, I am at the same level as him, and it is more enjoyable to fight." After speaking, he jumped to the competition platform with an arrow step.

Originally, I didn't want to compete with them, but the atmosphere is here, and if I shirk it again and again, it will make them think that I am cowardly and cowardly, and I will definitely not be able to do anything to disgrace my father. had no choice but to bite the bullet, twist his waist and pull the onion on the dry ground, and landed steadily on the opposite side of Xian Tong.

They saluted each other, pulled out the posture and fought together, this Xian Tong's move was fierce, his fists were like hammers, and the wind was whirring. After a few moves, he jumped in front of me, and the fish jumped up and slammed his elbow with a flying knee. Luckily, I reacted quickly, and if I had been hit, I was afraid that my ribs would not have been saved, and the unstoppable brute force made me retreat again and again. The flying knee smashed the elbow into a human missile by leaping into the air, and the knee hit me in the chest and abdomen with the weight of the whole body, and the impact generated by the forward momentum of the body was firmly applied to my body, which could severely damage his internal organs and even break his ribs. But the real killer was to smash the elbow, smashing the top of my skull with the greatest force, and definitely smashing the skull with the force of Xian Tong.

Dodging this move, I wanted to take a moment to catch my breath, but I didn't expect his second move to come closely, and the simple and neat side kick went straight to my soft underbelly. I didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and sat back with my hips to avoid the side kick. As soon as the move failed, I would no longer give him a chance to make a move, and according to his current body shape, he kicked four or five times in a row, and Xian Tong jumped and dodged again and again. As soon as he jumped out of range, I quickly got up and swung forward with the force of inertia.

Sin Tung found space to dodge, combining block and strike into one, and reduced my reaction time, preventing me from continuing to attack. But the most important thing is his striking point, after blocking my attack, his punch landed right at my throat, because the larynx is a relatively weak part of the human body, if you get this punch, you can break my throat, this punch is called a throat crush.

Drop back with a move, Tai Chi pushed Xian Tong to pull Xian Tong one after another, defused this move, and almost made him fall. Turning back to look at Xian Tong, the corners of my mouth rose up and said to him: "Brother Xian Tong's sanda skills are first-class, since this is the case, then Xiao is not polite, brother should be careful!"
