As soon as the day dawned, Zou Li and Zou Fu got up, combed for a while, and came to the hall, before the people entered, they heard the voices of people boiling, and when they went to the hall to see, it was already full, but looking at everyone's appearance, it was very simple to ask for some food, and they all wanted to participate in the Crouching Tiger State test.

Zou Li ate a little casually, and then walked to the Crouching Tiger Gang branch.

Along the way, it was one or several adults with one or several teenagers walking in one direction, and as soon as they arrived at the branch, they saw a very empty compound yesterday, which was already crowded, according to Zou Li's estimate, almost 10,000 people.

Just as he was about to find a place to squeeze in, he saw that the shopkeeper was also here, and there was a teenager standing beside him.

Zou Li went up and said hello: "Shopkeeper Liu is so early, this is ---? next to him"

When the shopkeeper Liu saw it, his heart fluttered, and he suddenly remembered that this was a guest staying in the hotel: surnamed Zou Mingli.

Hurriedly nodded and said, "Zou Gongzi is early! This is my kid, named Liu Qiang, who is also here to participate in the selection." ”

He also said to this quiet, shy, and relatively white young man: "Hurry up and ask Zou Gongzi for the morning." ”

"Shopkeeper Liu is too polite, your son is the same as me to participate in the selection, if you can be selected, everyone is a senior brother, I can't say that I will have to take care of Brother Liu in the future." Zou Li replied.

"Tuo Zou Gongzi Jiyan, if you can be chosen, you have to take care of each other. Shopkeeper Liu continued.

"Is it so many people every year?" Zou Li asked again.

"This is still a few, I estimate that there are only about 4-5,000 people who come to participate in the selection this time, and there are nearly 8,000 people in the last session. Children from poor families can join the Crouching Tiger Gang, which means a change in their lives, and they can live a good life from now on. is just some rich sons, as long as they enter the Crouching Tiger Gang and mix an elder or steward in the gang or something, it will also be of great help to the family, after all, the Crouching Tiger Gang is a behemoth in Ye County, and it also has a lot of influence in neighboring counties. ”

"Estimate when the Crouching Tigers will come. Zou Li asked again.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the sky and said, "It's about half an hour." ”

"Shopkeeper Liu also brought a kid to select!" As he was talking, a middle-aged man walked on the opposite side, with a fat body and a teenager.

This young man has a round face and a fat body, and he is poured out of the same mold as the middle-aged fat man. Seeing that Liu Qiang was still winking at Liu Qiang, Liu Qiang ignored it. Apparently the two teenagers knew each other very well.

"Yo, it's Shopkeeper Huang!" As he spoke, Shopkeeper Liu also glanced at Shopkeeper Huang's side out of the corner of his eye, "It's your second boy, they've grown so big, and they're also participating in the selection this year." ”

"You said that our kid from Crouching Tiger Town didn't join the Crouching Tiger Gang, where can we go/" The shopkeeper known as Huang said with a smile.

As soon as Zou Li saw it, he came again, so he said to the shopkeeper Liu, "You talk slowly, I'll go to other places to have a look." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, after the Crouching Tiger Gang comes, they will ask the candidates to line up for inspection. Shopkeeper Liu took the time to reply.

Zou Li asked Zou Fu to wait next to him to get in and take a look, the young man's curiosity was still quite strong.

When Zou Li got inside, he saw 10 tables lying horizontally in front of the gate of the branch courtyard, each with only a stool next to it, and nothing else.

Zou Li looked left and right again, and saw where Wang Dazhuang, whom he knew the day before yesterday, was standing, and hurriedly walked over, "Da Zhuang, so early?"

"Who says it isn't? It came just after dawn, and after waiting for a long time, the Crouching Tigers didn't see anyone. Da Zhuang said angrily.

"You're early, boy, when you arrived, it was full of people. ”

said to Zou Li again: "We've only been here for a while, and Zou Gongzi has also arrived?"

"We just arrived, Da Zhuang came so early, I heard that the qualifications will be checked, and if the qualifications are qualified, we will also test the endurance. The endurance test is to run dozens of miles, if you don't eat well, you will be troubled if you don't have the strength to run later. Zou Li returned.

"Who's to say it isn't? Da Zhuang muttered.

Da Zhuang's father blushed, "It's not enough for you kid to eat a few buns." ”

Zou Li heard it funny, and hurriedly took out two steamed buns from his arms, handed them to Da Zhuang and said, "First put the bottom on the bottom, and when you test it later, maybe you won't be allowed to eat it!"

Da Zhuang looked at the two steamed buns, then looked at his father, hesitated for a moment and didn't answer.

Da Zhuang's father knocked Da Zhuang's head with his finger again and said, "Thank you Gongzi, if you can join the Crouching Tiger Gang and become a senior brother, you will have to listen to Zou Gongzi more when the time comes." ”

At this time, an obese middle-aged man in a fancy costume next to him took over and said, "Yo, you haven't tested yet, and you've already joined the Crouching Tigers?"

Zou Li glanced at the other party coldly, and said to Da Zhuang's father: "Uncle, why don't you go and wait, Da Zhuang and I will go here to take a look." ”

Zou Li and Da Zhuang didn't find anything unusual when they squeezed around the square, and some people were in groups of two or five, talking and laughing, and used this place as a meeting place. Most of these people are gorgeously dressed people, as if it is an ironclad fact that their children have joined the Crouching Tigers, and they are just here to go through the motions.

Judging by their discussions, they should be inextricably linked with the high-level leaders of the sleeping gang.

There were also some people who were silent, with uneasy expressions, as if they were expecting something.

Suddenly, everyone quieted down, looked inside with their eyes, heard the door of the branch squeak, and more than 30 people came out of it, 10 people in front, dressed in various colors, about 40 years old, full of majesty, and there were 20 people in the back, dressed in a black cloth tight short suit, holding a wooden stick in their hands, giving people a fierce momentum.

When the people around saw the people of the Crouching Tiger Gang coming out, they suddenly quieted down, and the faces of the people who came showed satisfaction, and one of them walked out and said loudly to the crowd who came to participate in the test: "My Crouching Tiger Gang has been here for more than a thousand years, and with the support of the people of Ye County and the wealthy families of various families, it has gradually grown and prospered. Now, there are disciples from neighboring counties who have come to test, which is a show of love for my Crouching Tiger Gang, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the Crouching Tiger Gang! Today is the time for me to recruit disciples, and I repeat the rules of my help recruiting disciples again:

1. All children between the ages of 12 and 15 must be in good health;

2. The body has intermediate or above martial arts training qualifications, bears hardships and stands hard work, and has courage;

3. Be loyal to the Crouching Tigers and be able to sacrifice everything for the Crouching Tigers;

Now, I announce the start of the selection, all those who do not meet the above regulations, please exit the compound, wait outside the door, and those who participate in the selection consciously line up in front of the ten tables set up by my gang to accept the qualification inspection. This man's voice was loud and full of energy, and it shook people's ears.

As soon as the words ended, there was a commotion in the crowd, and some of the crowd walked out.

After a while, the person who had just spoken said: "For those who are young or older than the regulations, please don't get mixed in, I have the ability to check it out, please respect yourself." ”

There was another commotion in the crowd, and some people walked out dejectedly;

As Zou Li was speaking, he noticed that ten people in civilian clothes had each walked to the ten tables and sat down, and two others were standing behind them.

Seeing that the crowd was chaotic, one of the two people standing behind him came out and lined up the chaotic crowd little by little with wooden sticks.

Zou Li and Da Zhuang also hurriedly found a team and lined up.

At the beginning of the test, the young man in the first line came to the table with a nervous face, a middle-aged man dressed casually, and used his hands on the young man's body and head for a while, and reported that his qualification was medium, and the next one, the young man showed a smile on his face, and followed the young man in black to the side to stand.

As the hands of the middle-aged man swam on the head and body one by one, and the qualifications were revealed from time to time, medium, superior, and unqualified, the teenagers showed happy or frustrated expressions, and soon arrived in front of Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang's body trembled a little, and Zou Li whispered to Da Zhuang, "Don't be afraid!" and touched Da Zhuang's back.

Da Zhuang took a breath and walked up.

With the middle-aged man's touch, it was soon reported, middle and upper.

Zou Li breathed a sigh of relief and walked up. Seeing that this young man was very calm, the middle-aged man couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation and nodded slightly.

After a while, the middle-aged man reported: "Medium", and there was no longer a trace of expression.

Zou Li knew his qualifications for a long time, and he didn't care about it, so he came to Da Zhuang to stand together, but to his surprise, not only did the round-faced young man pass, but another young man named Liu Qiang was actually qualified.

After another hour and a half, the test was completed, and only half of the nearly 5,000 people were qualified. It was a dense crowd just now, but now it is much more sparse
