"Of course it's a compliment!" Jiang Fei answered without hesitation. The unfamiliarity brought about by the shock and fear had completely faded away. As he steered the steering wheel, he clicked his tongue and said, "Compared to the end of August, you're like a completely different person. If it weren't for the fact that you're still so boring and have such a cheap mouth, I would have thought that I had met a stranger who looked like you!"
"If you didn't say the latter part, we would still be good friends." Lou Cheng laughed and scolded him. What was boring and mean? What was mean by mean?
Jiang Fei looked ahead and became more excited. "Cheng, how did you do it? How long has it been? Not even half a year! How did you suddenly become so powerful? Just now, I saw you take care of a few gangsters with knives in just a few moves! "
"Previously, I had been concentrating on my studies, so I didn't realize that I had the talent to enter meditation. Erm, I mean, enter meditation. Songcheng University Martial Arts Club, in order to regain its glory, found a good coach this year. With the combination of these two factors, I improved by leaps and bounds. However, this effect only appeared at the very beginning. The higher you go, the more difficult it is, and the slower your improvement."
Jiang Fei was not a pure martial arts fan. He just liked to join in the fun. He had no direct impression of the amateur ranks outside of the professional martial arts competition, so he couldn't judge Lou Cheng's general level. He knew that Lou Cheng was very powerful, but he didn't know how powerful he was. So he laughed and said, "I see. Why didn't I realize that you have talent? Brother Lou, Master Cheng, if I'm bullied in the future, you have to help me! "
"Who are we? A cloud-piercing arrow and thousands of soldiers and horses will come to meet us! "Lou Cheng joked.
Jiang Fei drove steadily, but his tone was more excited. "Cheng, tomorrow, tomorrow morning, can you teach me a few moves? So that I can show off? "
"Sure, as long as you can calm down and stand still." Lou Cheng nodded slightly.
Still stance was the foundation of real martial arts, followed by moving stance, which was the so-called routine training method. Lastly, it was the practical fighting method such as 24 Blizzard Strikes.
Jiang Fei said excitedly, "Don't worry. I'm forgetful. I can calm down."
"I doubt it …" Lou Cheng complained silently. Fatty Jiang's mind drifted and he liked to fantasize, which was the opposite of the requirement of concealment of spirit and qi.
While talking, the car arrived at the destination and stopped at the gate of the community. Lou Cheng unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Go to bed early. If you can't get up tomorrow morning, we'll forget it.."
"When I was in high school, I worked hard and I got up early!" Jiang Fei said proudly, "Cheng, I'll keep it a secret...... yeah, I didn't see anything before....."
Lou Cheng laughed. He stood outside the car door and looked down at Fatty Jiang.
"Well, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that you have a big mouth …"
Back home, the room was still empty. Lou Cheng recalled the rescue process and confirmed that there was no problem with the details. As long as Wang Xu didn't say anything, he couldn't find him. Then he was completely relieved. He was busy for a while, washing the clothes and throwing them into the washing machine. Then he logged into the mailbox to see if his master had sent him the video and information of the Big and Small Hand Wrap.
"Not yet. Then I'll focus on recovery training tomorrow …" Lou Cheng sat on the sofa, playing with his phone and chatting with Yan Zheke while waiting for the clothes to be washed.
Around nine o 'clock, he was about to get up to dry the clothes when he suddenly heard light footsteps from the fourth floor to the fifth floor.
Lou Cheng turned his ear and naturally entered the Condensation Stance state. He was sure that it was only one person, so he calmly walked to the entrance.
After confirming that the footsteps stopped outside his house, he suddenly opened the door unexpectedly.
Outside the door, Wang Xu had changed his clothes and was wearing a military green coat. His face was pale and his eyes were full of shock. It seemed that he hadn't decided whether to knock or not.
"Have you treated the wound? How's it going? "Lou Cheng signaled him to come in first.
Wang Xu stepped in carefully and said while closing the door, "I asked someone to treat it. It's not a big deal. Tonight's disturbance has been temporarily settled."
He was carrying a bottle of Ningshui Daqu white wine, which was a local specialty. Once out of Xiushan, it was impossible to see it again. Generally speaking, those who had some ability liked to get the original-proof wine from Ningshui Wine Factory, which was said to be mellow, spicy, and fragrant.
"I know you've quit drinking. This is the authentic original-proof wine I prepared for myself." Wang Xu skillfully opened the cabinet where Lou Cheng's father kept the wine glasses and took out two glasses.
Lou Cheng watched him wash the glasses and pour the wine. He was curious and amused. "You're injured. Why are you drinking?"
"How can we chat without drinking? Just treat it as disinfection! "Wang Xu sat down and said with a smile.
"How can you disinfect like that?" Lou Cheng scolded with a smile.
After the laughter, there was silence between them. It seemed that neither of them had figured out how to start the conversation.
In the depressing silence, Wang Xu picked up the glass and took a sip. He sighed and said, "Cheng, I don't know how to thank you tonight. If it weren't for you, my parents would have to pour the wine on my grave."
"I haven't thanked you for taking care of me before. Now that I've learned some martial arts, how could I watch you die in front of me?" Lou Cheng said frankly and sincerely.
"Before …" Wang Xu chuckled. "To be honest, I was quite naive at that time. First, I thought about our childhood friendship. Second, I thought that the kids in our factory shouldn't be bullied by outsiders."
Memories flashed in his mind. Lou Cheng took a breath and said,
"Brother Xu, you can't go on like this."
Wang Xu raised his head and looked at him. He blurted out, "Tonight, it's all because of that son of a b * tch Jian Laosan. He hired a Professional Ninth Pin master from the provincial capital and attacked our bar when we weren't prepared. He almost killed Le on the spot. Luckily, Brother Biao and Brother Wei fought hard enough to stop him. But they outnumbered us, so we had to run … The ones who chased me were the sabermen under Jian Laosan. They were all of Amateur Sixth or Seventh Pin. Usually, I can handle one of them, but at that time, I had no choice but to run."
"Cheng, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You took care of them in two or three moves! "
Lou Cheng shook his head. "That's not the point, Brother Xu. Not to mention that my abilities are limited. Even if I'm an expert, I can only save you once, but I can't save you forever. Do you really want to walk this path to the end?"
Wang Xu fell silent. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "I understand what you're saying. I've been in the underworld for a few years and I've seen a lot. The most successful big brothers have been washed clean, while the average ones have been beaten to death. No matter how good one's Kung Fu is, there's always a moment of carelessness. A moment of carelessness can lead to a different person. Among the group I followed, some of them lost their hands, and some died in the commercial street.
"Seeing their end, even if I'm a rash kid, I'm still scared. I tried to find a martial arts club to practice martial arts, and tried to quit. I saved a sum of money and planned to start a small business. But in the martial arts world, how can I control myself? Big brother is going to start a movie and asked me to go. Should I go? What will happen if I don't go? Even if it's just for the sake of brotherhood, I can't refuse. "
Even during the most chaotic time in junior high, Lou Cheng didn't know about these things. Hearing this, he felt depressed. After a moment of consideration, he said calmly, "Brother Xu, have you ever thought of jumping out?"
"Jumping out?" Wang Xu looked at him in confusion.
Lou Cheng said calmly, "I went to Songcheng to study. When I came back, I also took a trip to Yanling. In these two places, I almost couldn't feel the connection with Xiushan. The world is so big, so why should I be trapped in Xiushan? Since it's hard to cut ties here, why not try to go out and see the world? Wait three to five years and come back when they've almost forgotten you. "
Wang Xu was stunned. After a long time, he took a sip of wine and said, "Cheng, you're still a student … Fortunately, I haven't become Le's henchman. Otherwise, if I get involved in some things and see some secrets, I won't be able to leave just because I want to. Besides, what can I do after I go out? Sell my strength? I see a few people in the community who work in other provinces live worse than me. What's the point of living like that? "
"Don't you want to start a small business?" Lou Cheng guessed that Wang Xu must be very carefree. According to the playboy sitting in front of him, this kind of thug didn't have to worry about cigarettes, alcohol, women, or money. Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to look at him when he walked on the street.
Wang Xu lowered his head and poured the wine. He said slowly, "I'll think about it."
Looking at him, Lou Cheng suddenly felt a wave of emotion. Two people with similar family backgrounds had chosen different paths in junior high school and led completely different lives.
Lou Cheng concentrated on his studies, entered No.1 Middle School, and was admitted to Songcheng University. Usually, he was in a clean classroom, a beautiful campus, and classmates from all over the world. They talked about games, movies, novels, teachers, girls, courses, and career prospects. Although there was pressure, he rarely came into contact with the bottom of society. He lived in a world where light was more than darkness, and hope was more than despair.
Wang Xu, on the other hand, was addicted to debauchery and scared of fighting for his life. Every time he got drunk, he might not be able to wake up safely. He enjoyed it, but the overall tone of life was gray. If he couldn't get to the top, if he couldn't successfully clear his name, he would be swallowed by the darkness sooner or later. Despair was more than light.
Studying can change one's fate, and so can martial arts … Lou Cheng was more certain of this than at any other time. He changed the topic and said, "Brother Xu, you didn't tell anyone about me, right?"
Wang Xu took another sip of wine. "Don't worry. I know you're a good student. I won't cause you trouble. Le asked me before and I said I was lucky to meet a friend from the martial arts club. That's how I got away with it. By the way, how did you practice martial arts? How did you become so good all of a sudden? "
"I just happened to be talented. I didn't know before I started practicing martial arts. I met a former physical invulnerability Mighty One as my coach. That's how I managed to catch up with normal people." Lou Cheng deliberately mentioned the existence of Geezer Shi.
After witnessing Wang Xu's "daily life", although he was confident in their friendship, he didn't dare to be careless. The title of a physical invulnerability Mighty One had directly destroyed all of his hopes and desires.
Wang Xu visibly trembled. He forced a smile and said, "No wonder I met a good coach … Cheng, can you teach me a few moves? So that I can have more assurance before I succeed in quitting. "
"The foundation of my martial arts is still stance and meditation. You can try concealment of spirit and qi first." Lou Cheng repeated the formula to Wang Xu and explained a few key points.
Wang Xu knew that good martial arts were based on Silence. He didn't question and listened carefully. At the end, he said, "I'll go back and practice. I'll ask you later. Keep this bottle of wine for Uncle Lou."
After watching him leave the room and close the door, Lou Cheng suddenly sighed. He felt that they were in a completely different world now.
As for Wang Xu's ability to meditate, he had no confidence at all. How could a drunk person meditate?
Life is really full of different circumstances …
