Chapter 137: The Old Man
Wang Lie and Li Suning, who were crowded to the front of the crowd, glanced at each other, and both saw the strange look in each other's eyes, Wang Lie shook his head and signaled Li Suning not to speak first, fortunately, there were enough onlookers, the two of them were drowned in the crowd, and the people in the field did not notice the two of them.
I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in the middle of the field holding a gong in his hand and knocking it on the spot, he was a little thin, wearing a green robe, like a little show more than running the rivers and lakes, but the clichés that came out of his mouth fluently were not unnatural, behind him, a young man of about the same age as him, with a thick face, was stretching out his hands and feet to move his muscles and bones to prepare for the exercise.
"Fathers, fellow villagers, brothers and sisters, don't talk nonsense, everyone look at my brother's methods!" said the young man who rang the gong and waved his hands in all directions. Glancing at the boy behind him.
The young man will know, and he also bows his hands to all sides, and he starts to box, only to see that he is very regular in one move, and there is a tiger and a tiger between his fists and feet, obviously the practice is very successful, but there are few onlookers who know kung fu, most of them are watching the lively people, which is not as good as juggling for them. The thick boy punched down, only sparse applause, the thin young man took the gong and turned around before receiving a few copper coins, Wang Lie took two steps back when he began to collect the money, and hid back in the crowd, he still wanted to watch it for a while, he didn't want to be exposed so soon.
"You can't enjoy watching it, but it doesn't matter, it's just a warm-up!" The young man shook a few copper plates in his hand, and said without discouragement: "Next, give you a wonderful performance, break the boulder on your chest!"
The thick boy who had just performed a set of punches had already taken off his shirt and was lying on a bench, his muscles were very shapely. The thin boy put down the gong, moved his hands and feet, hummed and picked up a half-human high slate and put it on the chest of the thick young man, he looked thin, but his strength was not small, and the action of putting down the slate was unusually light, everyone knew that lifting heavy objects and putting down the weight was the most test of strength, he put down the slate, picked up a sledgehammer next to him, and said: "Everyone look at it, this is a real slate and hammer, my brother is performing with his life, if you see it well, please donate generously and help our brother!"
After he finished speaking, he made a big swing, and with a bang, the hammer fell on the stone slab, and with a click, the bench under the thick young man was torn apart, and he lay on the ground at once, and the stone slab on his chest was indeed safe and sound. The face of the young man was shocked and pale.
Li Suning covered his small mouth and almost exclaimed, Wang Lie smiled and shook his head, of course his eyesight could see that it was the thick young man's back that shattered a stool just now, and the hammer looked like it was not small, and the force that fell on the stone slab was probably enough to knock a mosquito to death.
The crowd of onlookers let out exclamations, but the thin young man ignored them at all, and continued to pick up the sledgehammer and smash it at the slate, clicking, four or five times in a row, and the half-man-high slate was broken and shattered.
The thin boy laughed, threw away the hammer and picked up the gong, and stretched out the gong to the cheering audience with a smile.
"Young man, the performance is good!" a big man wearing a minority costume with half-shaved hair casually threw down a piece of broken silver and said, "If the person who breaks the big stone becomes you, I will reward you with another five taels of silver!" The big man looked like he was rich.
Wang Lie's face was a little unsightly, he didn't think there was anything wrong with acting, but he wasn't played by someone as a monkey, and the thin young man's face also changed, but he seemed to hesitate for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Since this uncle wants to see it, I will let it go today, but the silver has to be given first!"
The big man laughed, threw out a piece of silver, the thin young man caught it casually, stuffed it into his arms, came to the field, and discussed something with the thick young man in a low voice, the thick young man's face showed an anxious look, and he shook his head again and again, the thin young man didn't know what to say, and the thin young man nodded with an ugly face.
The thin boy took a new stool, and without undressing, lay down on his back. The thick boy glared at the big man, gritted his teeth and picked up a stone slab, which was also gently placed on the thin boy's chest.
"Senior brother!" Li Suning pulled Wang Lie's sleeve and shouted in a low voice, she could see that the thick young man had horizontal kung fu practice, but this thin young man did not.
"Don't worry. Wang Lie shook his head and said, his thumb clasped his middle finger, just when the thick young man's eyes were red and he picked up the sledgehammer, Wang Lie's fingers flicked continuously, and two finger winds came out, one hit the stone slab before the hammer fell on the stone slab, and the other hit the numb point of the elbow of the young man, and the young man felt that his arm was numb, and the hammer fell uncontrollably on the stone slab after a pause, without the strength of his arm, but the quality of the hammer itself, and the height was not high, so there was not much strength, he was annoyed that he had missed, but cheers rang out around him。
Looking down, the slate has been divided into several pieces, with Wang Lie's skill, it is just a simple thing to break a slate without hurting the thin boy, the thin boy also stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, the strength is so good, I don't feel it at all, next time you will pick up the hammer!"
The thick boy was a little confused, and the thin boy had already picked up the gong and started collecting money. The big man laughed when he saw it, and threw down a silver ingot before turning away, he didn't know that this ingot of silver saved his life, Wang Lie pointed at him in the air, he originally wanted his life, but he saw that he later gave an extra ingot of silver, and changed his finger force, so that he could pull his stomach for a few days.
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, and the two teenagers counted the harvest they had just made while cleaning up the stalls, with no joy on their faces, only a little reassurance
"Papapa-" The applause rang out, Wang Lie walked out against the crowd, clapped his hands and smiled: "The performance is good, I haven't seen you for a few years, you two have grown up, Ah Mao, Dazhu, how did you two come to this place in Xingqing Mansion?" These two teenagers were the two teenagers he met in Huanglong County when Wang Lie was injured, and he also passed on a set of Taizu long fists for two people back then.
"Brother Wang!" The two teenagers' bodies were tense at once, but when they looked back and saw Wang Lie, they recognized him at a glance, after all, Wang Lie's appearance had not changed much in the past few years, his body relaxed, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Why are you here?" they asked the same question.
Wang Lie naturally saw their reactions, thinking that the life of the two of them was not so peaceful, "It's not strange that I'm here, it's strange that it's the two of you." How did it come to the point of being a showman?"
"It's a long story!" said with a sigh as Mao Liu Fusheng, and the tone of the rivers and lakes was fully learned.
"Don't talk nonsense with me," Wang Lie interrupted him, "To be honest, what's the problem?"
"It's a long story. Ah Mao hugged and said, "Brother Wang, come with us, you will know when you arrive." He threw down those guys, pulled Wang Lie up and was about to leave, only then he saw Wang Lie followed by a girl in white, the girl covered her face, and only showed a pair of beautiful eyes as bright as stars.
"It's just my junior sister, you also saw it back then. Wang Lie saw his somewhat daze eyes and interrupted him.
"Brother Wang, come with us, it's so good to meet you, we both don't know what to do. Zhang Dazhu pushed Liu Fusheng and said eagerly.
"Let's go, look, you two are really in trouble. Wang Lie said with a smile, he really didn't care too much, what happened to the two little guys was really not necessarily a matter to him.
