After leaving the fish stall, Jinshan dismissed the porter who was holding a wooden stick behind him. The three of them headed to the place where Ye Wen was teaching boxing.
Along the way, Jin Shan told them about what happened after he and Ye Wen separated. Ever since the Japanese occupied Foshan, they had escorted the ordinary people out. However, halfway through the journey, their team was caught up by a Japanese squadron. For the safety of the ordinary people, they split into two groups. One group took the ordinary people into the mountains to hide, while the other group was led by Jin Shan and his militia to cover their escape. Along the way, they fought and hid with the Japanese. They lay low during the day and moved at night. Even so, they were still surrounded by many Japanese soldiers. In the end, they sneaked into Hong Kong from Guangzhou.
Although they escaped to Hong Kong, there were only less than 20 people left from the original 300 militia. They suffered heavy losses and almost ran out of ammunition and food. In the end, Jinshan relied on this small team of less than 20 people to slowly develop at the wharf in the deep waters. With these 20 militia who had fought with the Japanese, those gangsters who could only bully the good were no match for them. They firmly controlled the security and transportation of the wharf in the deep waters. That was how they gradually grew to the scale they had today.
"Ah Hsuan, it's great that you're back. As long as you lead us, I believe that one day, we will definitely drive these foreign devils who forcibly occupy our land and bully us out of Hong Kong," Jinshan said with a big smile when he returned to the rooftop where Ye Wen was teaching boxing.
Hearing Jinshan's words, Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head. Jinshan was taking things for granted. The reason why he was able to drive the Japanese out of Foshan was because the Japanese were dividing China back then. Taking advantage of the war, Ye Xuan knew the history in advance and laid out a plan for a few years. Taking advantage of the war, Ye Xuan finally succeeded in driving the Japanese out of Foshan. It had a lot to do with the general environment at that time. After all, in order to invade China, the Japanese had fought on all sides. They did not care about the small Foshan at all. Otherwise, the Japanese would not have gotten serious when Ye Xuan bombed the headquarters in Guangzhou. Not long after, Buddha Mountain was invaded again. However, the current environment was different from before. The war in the world had slowly subsided, and countries were developing their economy and technology at full speed. This was especially true for China, which was only announced by the founder of China a few months ago. At this time, even if Ye Xuan really wanted to take back Hong Kong, it would be an unwise thing to do. Not only would the United Kingdom not let it go easily. Even if they really managed to get it back, the mainland would not start a war over a small Hong Kong. At that time, if one person fought against a country, the result could be imagined.
After chatting for a while, Ye Xuan took out some money and asked Ye Wen's disciple to buy a few bottles of wine and dishes. After distributing some to his disciples, the three of them ate and drank. Soon, it was night time.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Ye Xuan and Jinshan didn't stay any longer. They agreed to come back the day after tomorrow to witness the so-called Hong Kong Martial Arts Competition. Only then did he leave with Cui 'er and Jin Shan to find Shuang Shuang.
On the way, Ye Xuan used the excuse that it was too late to find a way to send Jin Shan away. Then, he turned around and walked back with Cui 'er.
"Huh? Ah Hsuan, why are you back again? Did you forget something? " Ye Wen had just locked the rooftop when he saw Ye Xuan turn around and look at Ye Xuan suspiciously.
"Nothing, Brother Wen. It's just that when I was walking, I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen Ah Zhun for a long time. But look, it's already night time. I have a little something here. Take it back and help me buy some toys for Ah Zhun!" Ye Xuan took out an envelope from his pocket. He handed it to Ye Wen with a smile.
"No need, Ah Hsuan. Ah Zhun is already so old. He doesn't play with toys anymore. I appreciate your kindness, but you should take these back! " Ye Wen looked at the envelope that Ye Xuan handed over. A complicated expression flashed in his eyes, but he pushed it back in the end.
"Heh heh, Brother Wen, these are for Ah Zhun, not for you. It's not a big deal, so don't make excuses. We're leaving. Say hello to Sister-in-law and Ah Zhun for me!" How could the expression on Ye Wen's face escape Ye Xuan's eyes? He smiled faintly and forced the envelope into Ye Wen's hand. Then, he waved at Ye Wen and turned around to leave with Cui 'er.
Ye Wen lowered his head and opened the envelope in his hand. He saw that it was full of HSBC bank notes with a face value of 100 yuan. He couldn't help but be shocked. He hurriedly closed the envelope and looked around. Then, he put the envelope in his pocket and a hopeful smile appeared on his lips.
This wasn't to say that Ye Wen was greedy for money. It was just that Ye Wen was really short of money at this time. Even though he had opened a dojo, his disciples were all children of poor families. With the tuition fee of a few yuan a month, not only did Ye Wen have to feed his wife and children, he also had to pay for his family's expenses. Ye Zhun's tuition fees for school and the rent for his apartment every month, although it wasn't a lot, it wasn't a small amount either. Right now, Ye Wen was really close to running out of food at home. Thinking back to how he had been blocked in his room by the landlady because he wanted to pay Ah Zhun's tuition fees a few days ago, Ye Wen, as a grown man, really felt ashamed.
Feeling the heavy envelope in his pocket, Ye Wen's eyes flashed with gratitude. As he watched Ye Xuan's figure walk further and further away, a determined expression appeared on Ye Wen's face.
… …
Two days passed by quickly. When Ye Xuan brought Cui'er to the place where Ye Wen taught fist techniques, he saw Jinshan and Ye Wen sparring. The two of them exchanged blows, and the wind from their fists and legs whistled. Jinshan's steel was fierce, and Ye Wen's agility made the surrounding disciples intoxicated. Cheers rang incessantly in the ears of the spectating disciples.
Ye Xuan didn't say anything to disturb the two of them. Instead, he quietly watched from the side. He discovered that perhaps because they had personally experienced war, the two of them had made great progress in their martial arts. Ye Wen's Wing Chun martial arts had advanced a step further, reaching the acme of perfection. His moves were easily pinched, and every move revealed the bearing of a grandmaster. Jinshan, who was sparring with him, had also made great progress in his martial arts. His Shaobei martial arts were as fierce as steel. When he punched out, even if one was standing ten feet away, one could feel the wind from the punch. He had already cultivated it to the acme of perfection.
Although Jinshan's martial arts had also made great progress, he was still inferior to Ye Wen, whose Wing Chun martial arts had already reached the acme of perfection. When Ye Wen was fighting with him, he advanced and retreated according to the rules. When the two fists collided, the force was hidden and not released. At the same time, he had the energy to observe the surrounding environment.
He crossed his legs, and the muscles on his arms suddenly contracted. His fist fiercely collided with Jinshan Zhen, and a hidden force suddenly erupted from his fist. Moreover, this force was like a tidal wave, one after another, each stronger than the one before. Jinshan Zhen only felt three waves of force enter his body from his fist. Just as he was about to exert his strength to resist, who knew that the waves of force would come one after another, each stronger than the one before. The three pure waves of force directly shattered the force that he exerted. His entire body shook, and he continuously retreated seven or eight steps before coming to a stop.
"Good, what a great move of One-Inch Punch!" After being forced back by one move, not only was Jinshan not angry, but he also laughed out loud. After all, the competition between the two was just an ordinary exchange of pointers. Moreover, Jinshan was also convinced of his loss. Ye Wen didn't use too much strength in this move. He only used the pushing force of One-Inch Punch. If he really used the injurious force exertion technique of One-Inch Punch, his internal organs would have been shaken to the point of internal injuries.
"Master Jinshan, you flatter me. Thank you for letting me win!" Ye Wen smiled modestly with his hands cupped. Then, he turned his head and said to Ye Xuan, who was standing behind the crowd, "Ah Hsuan, you're here!"
"Good morning, Brother Wen, Brother Jin!" Hearing Ye Wen's greeting, Ye Xuan didn't want to be a spectator, so he smiled and greeted them.
"Good morning, Ah Hsuan!" Jinshan also smiled and greeted.
The three of them exchanged some pleasantries. Then, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Brother Wen, Brother Jin, it's getting late. Let's go and see the rules of the competition that Hong Zhennan mentioned!"
"Okay!" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ye Wen and Jinshan saw that it was getting late, so they agreed. After Ye Xuan handed Cui 'er over to Zhang Yongcheng, who had specially rushed over to take care of her, Ye Xuan and Ye Wen walked towards the location that Hong Zhennan mentioned yesterday.
