After confirming the time to visit Director Xing's home, Lou Cheng sent a message to Yan Zheke on QQ. He didn't use a cheeky emoji because he hadn't completely calmed down yet. "Coach Yan, Director Xing just called me and told me about Wang Xu's sentence. I took the opportunity to mention that I wanted to visit him and he agreed. It's set on the seventh. What small gift do you think I should bring?"
Since the Yan family was on good terms with Director Xing, they definitely knew his preferences.
"You asked the right person!" Yan Zheke said with a cheeky smile. "Uncle Xing is from Ningshui and he loves two things the most. One is the original-proof wine from Ningshui Winery and the other is Ningshui Green Tea, especially Maojian Green Tea. You can try and see if you can't get them. If you can't, you can get the highest grade Ningshui Daqu and Green Tea. He won't care much about what you give him.
"The highest grade Ningshui Daqu is only a few dozen yuan. Not Maojian Green Tea, I think it's about the same. In total, I can get it for about a hundred yuan. I'm a little nervous." Lou Cheng said.
His mother was from Ningshui County in Xiushan City. His father and grandfather all loved Ningshui Daqu and Green Tea, so he knew the price.
Yan Zheke said with a smile, "That's why it's called a small gift. Listen to me and you can't go wrong."
"Okay, I'll go east if Coach Yan tells me to!" Lou Cheng expressed his loyalty and planned to try and see if he could get the original-proof wine and Maojian Green Tea. "Well, Director Xing is in charge of martial arts affairs. He should be a master himself, right? It seems that he doesn't practice drunken boxing. Aren't you afraid that drinking will affect your reaction? "
Yan Zheke paused for a while before replying, "Phew, my cousin's food is getting worse and worse. Bad review! Uncle Xing, he only drinks two cups of wine at dinner every day as a pastime. He's also a Professional Sixth Pin Dan stage master and has a strong control of his body. He's not afraid that it will affect anything. "
Lou Cheng was waiting to ask Director Xing about his kung fu skills so that they could have a conversation. Otherwise, they would have nothing to talk about because they were not familiar with each other. Yan Zheke added, "Uncle Xing's daughter, Sister Jingjing, should also be there when you go to pay your New Year's greetings. You have to watch what you say. Don't ever mention words like hooligan, gangster, or pervert."
"Why?" Lou Cheng was at a loss. Did he need to emphasize this?
Yan Zheke rolled her eyes and said, "This is a secret. Don't ask!"
Lou Cheng scratched his head and had to suppress his curiosity. He first asked Director Xing about the "Golden Jade Body" and the modern style of Xingyi. Then he stood in Yan Zheke's position and criticized her cousin's dishes.
While he was talking, he suddenly felt a little confused. Even Yan Zheke, who had communicated with him the most, was surprised that he could defeat that dangerous Professional Ninth Pin fighter. Why did Master look so normal and not have any emotional fluctuation?
Even if he knew that she had awakened a superpower, shouldn't he at least give her some reaction?
He was not like this at the Martial Sage Candidate Challenge Tournament!
Does he really believe in my strength that much?
…
In a Mediterranean-style house, Geezer Shi pressed his chest and walked to the wine cabinet. He opened the door, took out a bottle of unlabeled wine, and poured himself a glass.
"Dad, why are you drinking again?" A voice came from afar. They could only hear the voice but not see the person. It was as if they could grasp the situation here even from afar.
The corner of Geezer Shi's mouth twitched. "Calm down, calm down."
"What's there to be surprised about?" The voice was like ice beads hitting a jade plate, but it also showed a bit of maturity carved by time.
"My stupid apprentice overestimated himself and fought against a Ninth Pin fighter of the Dark Sect. He's as impulsive as I was when I was young." Geezer Shi narrowed his eyes and sniffed the wine, intoxicated.
The voice was confused. "Didn't you say that Junior Brother only had the strength of an Amateur First Pin fighter? A Ninth Pin fighter of the Dark Sect is not the kind without inheritance. The secret method of spiritual aura is very effective at this stage. Is it because he's in danger that you're frightened? "
"Childish! Naive! Why would I be frightened by this? " Geezer Shi curled his lips. "He stopped the opponent from killing and killed him in a fight of life and death …"
"He killed the opponent? His superpower of fire hasn't reached this level, has it? "The voice was surprised.
Geezer Shi took the opportunity to drink the wine in his glass. He smacked his lips and said, "See, you're shocked too, aren't you? I almost couldn't maintain my dignity and composure as a master. Luckily, I managed to hold it in! "
"I guess he's met this Ninth Pin fighter before and is on guard against the secret method of spiritual aura. Otherwise, it's impossible." The voice said with certainty.
"I thought so too." Geezer Shi wiped his white hair. "I'm always shocked by this stupid apprentice!"
…
According to the custom in Xiushan, relatives were not allowed to visit on the first day of the New Year. Lou Cheng lay on the bed for a while and then heard his mother calling for lunch.
After leaving the house, he sat across from his father, Lou Zhisheng. Before he could open his mouth, he saw his mother, Qi Fang, sneakily whisper, "Old Wang's son was arrested. He even asked Little Luo to pack his clothes and send them to the police station."
Luo was Wang Xu's mother, Luo Aijin, two years younger than Qi Fang.
Mom, haven't you been cooking in the kitchen? How did you know this gossip? Lou Cheng looked at his mother as if she was a god.
"Where did you hear this rumor from? You haven't been out today. "Lou Zhisheng was also surprised.
Qi Fang rolled her eyes at him. "Don't you know how to use your phone? Of course, someone called me to talk about this! "
Lou Cheng roughly understood why the gossips in the community spread so quickly. He felt a lingering fear. If he was detained, the whole community would know about it after the investigation. At that time, he could imagine how his parents would feel!
Think more about your family when you're impulsive!
"Old Wang's son was really caught?" Lou Zhisheng asked with concern.
"Yes. It's said that he committed a big crime and the police came to inform him personally. He might be sentenced to more than ten years in prison and his life will be ruined." Qi Fang sighed and turned to glare at Lou Cheng. "See? Learn martial arts. Don't be so competitive. Don't get in touch with those gangsters!"
"Mom, don't worry. I'll remember this lesson." Lou Cheng took a deep breath.
He engraved this lesson in his heart and remembered the lingering fear to prevent himself from doing such stupid things in the future.
Lou Zhisheng sighed. "Old Wang has a hard life. But his son is just a gangster. There must be a mastermind behind this, so the sentence may not be so heavy. If he behaves better and strives for a reduced sentence, he may be out in a few years. When he's in his twenties, he can start over."
"You bookworm, you'll know when you know more about the community. People with criminal records are discriminated against. It'll be difficult for you to find a good wife in the future." Qi Fang also sighed. After all, she had known Old Wang's family for almost twenty years. They were neighbors.
While eating, they felt sorry for Wang Xu and the Wang family. Lou Cheng didn't interrupt and listened quietly. He felt that every word they said hit his heart, making him full of guilt and regret.
Due to the other party's criminal record, the other party's performance, and the scene at that time, he did not blame himself for killing the other party. Although the loss of a life shocked him, it was not a person he knew, so it was not that strong. Therefore, he appeared to be relatively calm and did not have too obvious post-traumatic stress. However, the possible consequences of the whole thing were constantly beating him, continuously beating him, making him completely reflect on himself and gradually lose his reckless impulse.
This might be the change in his state of mind caused by this incident. It was the necessary training in martial arts that Yan Zheke's grandpa said.
In the future, he would plan before acting. A gentleman wouldn't stand under a collapsing wall. Not for anything else, but for too many ties!
"Do you understand, Cheng?" Qi Fang's voice came into his ears.
Lou Cheng was in a trance and reflecting on himself, so he didn't pay attention to their conversation. Now he was confused. "Huh?"
"What are you thinking about?" Qi Fang said impatiently. "I say, you can learn martial arts, but don't break the rules with martial arts like those on TV. Your dad and I are in our forties and have lived for more than half of our lives. We can't bear any more torment."
"Okay." Lou Cheng nodded hard.
…
On the wet ground, the man in black exercise clothes suddenly turned into a giant green-eyed wolf. He bit Lou Cheng's throat and sank his teeth deep into it …
Lou Cheng sat up abruptly with cold sweat all over his forehead. He was still immersed in the fear brought by the nightmare.
In the dark, he pressed a button on his phone and it lit up. He glanced at it and found that it was less than four o 'clock. There was still a lot of time before morning training.
Alas, for a freshman like me, this is an unprecedented bad thing. Even if the haze is gone and the mental trauma is not serious, it will take two or three days to completely recover.
The remaining emotions will be eliminated with time.
After a quick meditation and a short rest, Lou Cheng got up on time to train. He was sweating, tearing the airflow, and stirring up his whole body. He was full of energy and used his vigorous qi and blood to erode the shadow in his heart.
After returning home, he took a shower and tidied up. Then he went out with his parents to his aunt Qi Yan's house in Ningshui County to celebrate the New Year with his grandfather.
His grandfather had two daughters. The younger one, Qi Yan, was a live-in son-in-law. It was agreed that the children would follow their mother's surname. If there was a second child, they would follow their father's surname. Currently, he had two daughters.
"I'm just about to buy the original-proof wine and Maojian green tea from Ningshui Brewery …" Lou Cheng looked at the scenery outside the car window and thought.
However, these two things were hard to buy. He had to ask his aunt and uncle to see if they had any connections since they owned a small supermarket …
The distance from Xiushan to Ningshui County was not far. If he had a car, he could get to his aunt's house in 40 minutes from the neighborhood where Lou Cheng lived. But if he didn't have a car, he had to take a bus to the bus station to buy a ticket. When he got to Ningshui County's bus station, he had to transfer again. All in all, it would take at least one and a half hours.
The scenery flew by. Lou Cheng, who was focused on chatting, soon saw the streets of Ningshui County.
PS: I think that a half-grown boy who suddenly had a fortuitous encounter and improved his martial arts so quickly that even his master couldn't predict it and didn't give him the corresponding guidance in time would definitely have problems in his daily life. There would definitely be some bad experiences. Therefore, I wrote very carefully about the change in Lou Cheng's state of mind. I finally finished the last stroke of this chapter. I hope everyone can feel it.
