On the second floor of the quiet tea restaurant.
The soft music was like a trickle, flowing through people's hearts. There were not many guests on the second floor of the tea restaurant. There were only about a dozen people in twos and threes, talking about their own topics in a low voice. Suddenly, footsteps came from the stairs, which made many guests involuntarily look over.
A pure girl with a ponytail, wearing jeans and a white polo shirt, and a tall, short-haired woman in purple casual clothes walked up side by side.
Many people's eyes lit up!
"Look, two beauties! Especially the one in purple casual clothes. I have been in Suzhou for four years, and I just came back. I didn't expect that there would be such a beauty in An Yi County. She is really a mature woman. Although the one next to her is a little immature, she is also pure and beautiful. "
"Monkey, no matter how beautiful a beauty is, it belongs to someone else. Stop dreaming."
"Hey, brother, don't hit me. By the way, that tall, short-haired woman, who is she? I have lived for more than 20 years, and she is definitely in the top three of all the women I have ever seen. That facial features, that temperament … is really breathtaking. "
"Monkey, let me tell you, that beauty is called 'Lin Qing'. She is a big shot with a very deep background. The two million Land Rover we saw two days ago belongs to her. In An Yi County alone, she owns a hotel and two teahouses. In our county, this property is only a small part of her property. "
"So powerful?" The young man nicknamed 'Monkey' could not help but be stunned.
An Yi County was just an ordinary county in Jiangsu. A two million Land Rover in a small county was indeed very eye-catching.
"Miss Lin, we have prepared your room, please follow me." The waiter on the second floor of the tea restaurant immediately greeted them.
The two beauties, led by the waiter, entered the box under the gaze of many people, and then the door of the box was closed.
*****
Inside the box.
After ordering a pot of tea, the waiter left.
"Sister Lin, you come here every day these days, and you always have this box. Haha, everyone knows what you're thinking. "The ponytailed girl smiled as she glanced out of the window. Opposite the window was a children's welfare institute.
In the open space of the Children's Welfare Institute, there were some staff members playing with the orphans.
"You little girl." Lin Qing couldn't help but chuckle. However, Lin Qing still occasionally looked down at the orphanage through the window. After searching for a while, he couldn't find what he was looking for and felt a little disappointed.
"That's strange. I can't find Teng Qingshan anywhere in the welfare institute. Why didn't he come today? Doesn't he know that our Sister Lin is waiting for him here? "The ponytailed girl sighed deliberately.
"Alright, Ah Min, don't be so sarcastic." Lin Qing chuckled.
The ponytailed girl, Xiao Min, nodded and then said in puzzlement, "Sister Lin, I keep feeling that Teng Qingshan is very mysterious. When we went on a self-guided tour to the Greater Khingan Mountains, Sister Lin, when you were in danger, Teng Qingshan carried you on his back and walked nearly 20 kilometers of mountain roads. That was a mountain road! This Teng Qingshan's stamina is too terrifying. "
"He's very mysterious." Lin Qing nodded as well.
Lin Qing still clearly remembered how he got to know Teng Qingshan.
At that time, Lin Qing and a group of like-minded friends went to the northeast to explore the Greater Khingan Mountains. As experienced backpackers, Lin Qing and his group naturally didn't follow the safe route provided by the tourist area. At that time, they hired local villagers as guides to explore some areas that weren't open to the public.
Who would have thought …
The deserted mountain forest was too enchanting. Lin Qing was attracted by a rare bird. In order to photograph this bird, he accidentally separated from the group. When Lin Qing woke up, he couldn't find the group.
In the barren mountain forest, there was no cell phone signal at all, and he couldn't contact the group.
Under such circumstances, there was no response. Lin Qing could only grit his teeth and walk back alone. But who would have thought that he would encounter poachers from the Greater Khingan Mountains on the way? When the poachers saw Lin Qing's attire, they roughly guessed what was going on.
In the wilderness, Lin Qing was so beautiful. When they saw Lin Qing, the male hormones of the poachers, who hadn't touched a woman for a long time in the mountains, surged. Without much hesitation, they immediately made their move. And Lin Qing had a very unyielding personality and resisted with all his might.
But how could a woman fight against five big men?
Naturally, Lin Qing was beaten and injured. Seeing that he was about to be humiliated and Lin Qing was about to lose hope, "Teng Qingshan", who was wandering alone in the Greater Khingan Mountains, appeared. Teng Qingshan attacked like lightning. The injured Lin Qing didn't even see clearly before the five big men fell to the ground and fainted.
"Hmph …" Recalling what happened back then, Lin Qing couldn't help but snort, but a smile appeared on his face.
"At that time, Teng Qingshan actually wanted me to walk back alone. Fortunately, he wasn't too cruel. He finally carried me back. " Scenes of that time appeared in Lin Qing's mind. On Teng Qingshan's back, it was like a floating boat returning to the harbor. No matter how rugged the mountain road was, Lin Qing felt calm in his heart.
It was a full 20 miles of rugged mountain road. Teng Qingshan arrived at the destination with Lin Qing on his back.
Ordinary people would be exhausted to walk 20 miles of mountain road, let alone carrying a living person. Moreover, it was in the uninhabited area of the Greater Khingan Mountains. Even excellent special forces soldiers might not be able to withstand it.
After the mysterious young man "Teng Qingshan" and Lin Qing separated in the Greater Khingan Mountains, Lin Qing thought it would be difficult to see Teng Qingshan again. Unexpectedly, he met him again in the Anyi County.
"Teng Qingshan …" Lin Qing was still immersed in the memory.
"Hey, Sister Lin, look, Teng Qingshan is here!" The voice of the ponytailed girl "Xiao Min" woke Lin Qing up. He couldn't help but turn his head and look down through the window.
Opposite the window was a welfare home. Its full name was "Hua Hin Children's Welfare Home." Lin Qing and Xiao Min could clearly see the playground of the welfare home through the window. At this time, a short-haired young man dressed in casual clothes and wearing glasses came to the playground with a big basin filled with Apples.
"Wow, Apples!"
"Eat Apples."
"Line up quickly. Eat Apples."
"Don't mess around. You stay behind me. Line up. "
The children who were playing immediately gathered around, and at the same time consciously formed into two small teams.
Every day in the Hua Hin Children's Welfare Home, these orphans would be given a glass of milk in the morning and a fruit in the afternoon. These orphans usually didn't have any snacks, so the fruit in the afternoon was particularly attractive to them.
"Thank you, Uncle Teng."
These adorable children, after receiving the bright red apples, all shouted obediently.
When the short-haired young man heard this, he couldn't help but smile as he continued to distribute the fruits.
…
In the private room of the cafe, Lin Qing and Xiao Min were watching the short-haired young man distribute the fruits through the window.
"Sister Lin, look at how happy Teng Qingshan is. It seems like he really likes children." Xiao Min sighed.
"He really likes children. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to this welfare home as a free volunteer." Lin Qing's gaze was completely focused on the short-haired young man, Teng Qingshan. The sincere smile that Teng Qingshan had towards the orphans had completely attracted her. "Xiao Min, I suddenly thought of something."
"What is it?" Xiao Min's eyes lit up.
Lin Qing sighed. "Old Madam Hua Hin has single-handedly maintained this welfare home for nearly 30 years. It's very admirable … I'm going to donate one million yuan. How about this, you go and contact the people of the welfare home."
Old Madam Hua Hin, who was now over 80 years old, was the director of the Hua Hin Children's Welfare Home.
"That's good." Xiao Min was overjoyed.
…
At this moment, the short-haired young man, Teng Qingshan, was continuously distributing Apples. Most of the children had already received them and were eating them in big mouthfuls.
"So small." A child with slightly curly hair looked at the Apple in his hand and then at the Apple in the hands of others. He realized that his own was a size smaller. Of course, the Apples that the welfare home bought could not all be the same size. Therefore, the children's fruits would not be the same size.
But children loved to compare! It was as if … if they were slightly smaller, they would be at a disadvantage.
"Brother, my Apple is the smallest. Your Apple is much bigger than mine. It's almost the size of two of mine, "the curly-haired child said to a sturdy child beside him.
"Yes, my stomach doesn't feel too good today. I can't eat such a big one. I'll trade with you," the sturdy child said with a smile. The curly-haired child's black eyes lit up. He immediately said, "Really?" Although he said that, his gaze fell on the big Apple in his brother's hand.
"How can it be fake?" The sturdy child smiled and took the Apple in his brother's hand. He handed over his big Apple.
At this moment, Teng Qingshan had already finished distributing the Apples and happened to see this scene.
"These two brothers …" Teng Qingshan's gaze became misty. A scene from a long time ago surfaced in his mind.
It was Chinese New Year's Eve a long time ago.
Outside, snowflakes swirled and firecrackers rang out incessantly. In an empty house, a large group of children were cheering as they surrounded an old granny who looked to be in her sixties.
"Everyone has one, everyone has one. Come one at a time." This granny with white hair looked kindly at the group of children. She gave each child three White Rabbit Creamy Candies. In that distant, impoverished era, it was considered good to have White Rabbit Creamy Candies during Chinese New Year.
"Thank you, Granny."
The group of children cheered and took the candies excitedly.
They hadn't tasted the Creamy Candies for a year and a half. At this time, how could they hold back? Each of them ate happily and spoke excitedly.
"Brother." A child wearing a tattered cotton jacket with patches pursed his lips and looked at his big brother.
"What's wrong? Qinghe? "A slightly taller child who was dressed in the same plain clothes looked over in confusion.
"I-I've finished my Creamy Candies. It's so delicious … I've finished it in such a short time. " As he spoke, the child named 'Qinghe' looked at the other children who were still eating slowly. He was almost drooling. The slightly taller child lowered his head and looked at the two White Rabbit Creamy Candies in his hands.
"Mm, Qinghe, take it." The slightly taller child said.
"Brother, you're not eating?" Qinghe was a little hesitant.
"I have a toothache." The slightly taller child smiled and said, "I just ate one and it's already painful. Here you go. Oh right, remember … don't bite the candies into pieces. Chew them like you do. Others haven't eaten one, but you've eaten all three. "
"Mm, I know, Brother. Big brother treats me the best. "Qing He giggled." However, these two pieces, I and big brother will each take one. "
The slightly taller child looked down. Obviously, he was also a child. He couldn't resist the temptation of the Creamy Candies and nodded, "Mm, one for each of us."
…
"One for each of us." Teng Qingshan murmured softly, "Qinghe, it's been twenty-two years. It's been twenty-two years."
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard. Teng Qingshan turned his head to look. He saw an old granny with a head full of silver hair, accompanied by a woman, walking over.
"Grandma Dean!"
"Hello, Grandma Dean!"
A large group of orphans immediately shouted excitedly, and this granny with a head full of silver hair was so happy that it seemed as if a flower was blooming.
"Grandma Dean." Teng Qingshan was startled. The Grandma Dean in front of him seemed to be a combination of the old granny who took care of him and his younger brother in his memory. "Twenty-two years. Grandma should be eighty-three years old this year." Teng Qingshan was so excited that his body slightly trembled.
But in an instant, he restrained his excitement and restored his calmness.
"Dean, this young man's name is Teng Qingshan. He took the initiative to come here as a free volunteer. He has been here for six days. He's a very diligent and smart young man." The woman said with a smile.
"Oh, Teng Qingshan?" The granny with a head full of silver hair, who was over eighty years old, looked at Teng Qingshan with a smile.
"Qingshan, help me take care of the dean. I'll go to the cafeteria to prepare dinner for the children." The woman smiled.
"Don't worry, Aunt Liu." Teng Qingshan smiled.
"Dean, I'll leave first." The woman spoke to the dean, and Teng Qingshan very naturally went forward to help the Grandma Dean. The old granny looked at Teng Qingshan and said with a kind smile, "Qingshan, you're twenty-three this year, right? I've seen your resume."
"Yes, I just graduated from university." Teng Qingshan nodded.
"Qingshan, you have soft skin and tender flesh. It's obvious that you haven't done any hard work. These few days, you must have suffered here. "The Grandma Dean said with a smile.
"No, I'm quite happy doing it," Teng Qingshan said with a smile as he supported the Grandma Dean.
The Grandma Dean sighed and said, "To be honest, Qingshan, I feel very close to you. I can't help but think of an orphan in this orphanage a long time ago. It was in the eighties. At that time, the conditions of the orphanage were very poor. Only my eldest daughter and I took care of the children. At that time, there were a pair of brothers in the orphanage. One was named Qingshan, and the other was named Qinghe. I was the one who gave them this name. Your name is also Qingshan … This is really fate. "
Teng Qingshan's heart trembled, but he nodded. "Yes, it is fate."
"However, Qingshan was adopted and has left the orphanage for twenty-two years. He should be twenty-nine today. He's much older than you. Perhaps he's already married and has children. " The Grandma Dean sighed. "He's a very well-behaved child. I wonder how he is now. My health is getting worse. It would be great if I could see Qingshan again."
Teng Qingshan couldn't help but tremble. "I believe that Grandma Dean will definitely fulfill your wish."
The pair of brothers, Qingshan and Qinghe, were abandoned at the entrance of the orphanage not long after they were born. At that time, the Grandma Dean, Hua Hin, had just opened the orphanage. Qingshan and Qinghe could be said to be the first batch of orphans. Moreover, the Grandma Dean, Hua Hin, worked hard to raise the pair of brothers. Of course, the Grandma Dean was very close.
…
Lin Qing and Xiao Min watched Teng Qingshan in the orphanage. Teng Qingshan first accompanied the Grandma Dean, and then played with the children. From the beginning to the end, there was not a trace of impatience. Obviously, the children liked this "Uncle Teng" very much. Then, Teng Qingshan sent the children to the cafeteria for dinner.
"Sister Lin, he's out," Xiao Min said immediately.
As Teng Qingshan walked out of the orphanage, Lin Qing immediately shouted through the window, "Teng Qingshan!"
Only then did Teng Qingshan raise his head.
"Come up and have a seat." Lin Qing said with a smile. She knew very well that Teng Qingshan must have had dinner in the cafeteria, because … she had invited Teng Qingshan several times a few days ago, and Teng Qingshan only came to chat with her twice.
Teng Qingshan smiled and shook his head. "No, I have something to do today. Let's get together again when we have time."
"That's fine." Lin Qing was a little disappointed, but still said with a smile.
Lin Qing and Xiao Min just watched Teng Qingshan leave.
"Sister Lin, this Teng Qingshan really didn't give you face. Sister Lin, a beauty like you personally invited him, but he still didn't agree. "Xiao Min said with a smile.
"Well, let's go to my place for dinner." Lin Qing stood up and left the teahouse with Xiao Min.
*****
In a farmyard on the outskirts of An Yi County.
In the empty yard, Teng Qingshan was bare-chested, but he didn't wear glasses. Teng Qingshan was gentle and modest with glasses, but without glasses, he looked calm and determined.
At this moment, Teng Qingshan was bare-chested, standing in the Three Postures of Xing Yi.
His hands were in the shape of a tiger's claw, and his feet were empty, as if he was walking on mud. Teng Qingshan's whole body stood there, giving people a feeling of a mountain. Whether it was moving forward, sideways, or chopping, it made people feel that his spirit was unshakable.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
There was a sound of strong wind in the air.
But once the power was accumulated, it was as quiet as a bell.
His left foot was like an iron plow, and his right foot suddenly stomped on the ground, and his right fist burst out. His whole body was like a big bow that was bent to the limit, and his right fist shot out like a sharp arrow.
"Puff!"
A burst of air came out of nowhere, and there was even a strong wind in the yard.
The Three Postures of Xing Yi, the 'Bursting Fist' of the Five Elements Boxing, was like floating clouds and flowing water, without a trace of difficulty, and its power was so great that it even produced a burst of air.
If those who learned martial arts in society saw this scene, they would definitely be dumbfounded.
Teng Qingshan's whole body began to move around in the yard, using the Three Postures of Xing Yi as the base, and occasionally changing to the Five Elements Boxing. It was obvious that Teng Qingshan had the highest achievement in the 'Blast Fist' of the Five Elements Boxing.
"Whew."
With a turn of his body, Teng Qingshan returned to the preparatory form of the Three Postures of Xing Yi and slowly exhaled.
His heart was as calm as still water, like the still surface of a lake. Naturally, he could clearly feel the situation in his body, from his internal organs to his muscles, skin, and hair. However, he was still far from the legendary 'Inner Vision'.
"Although I am only one step away, this step is like a heavenly moat that is difficult to cross. If I can step into the Grandmaster Realm while I am still alive, I can die without regrets." Teng Qingshan couldn't help but sigh.
Knowing the Dao in the morning, one can die without regrets in the evening!
As one of the three major Internal Martial Arts, Xing Yi Martial Arts had reached the Grandmaster Realm in history. However, in modern society, those who could reach the Grandmaster Realm were few and far between.
"The ground here is too weak. I can't use my full strength at all." Teng Qingshan looked at the ground and saw that there were already some cracks on the cement floor. This was under the situation where Teng Qingshan didn't use his full strength and was only practicing. If he were to fight with a powerful expert, the cement floor would probably completely collapse.
Soon after, Teng Qingshan sat cross-legged and looked at his heart. His breathing was so weak that it was almost inaudible. His heart was as calm as still water.
His spirit was limitless.
"Hua Hua ~ ~" The extremely weak sound of blood flowing in his blood vessels and the sound of his heartbeat were so clear that it was like the sound of flowing water.
Time passed slowly, and soon, it was late at night.
Teng Qingshan was still sitting cross-legged in the courtyard. At this moment, on the cement road in the countryside outside the courtyard, a lean man dressed in black was speaking to his collar in a low voice, "Gray Eagle, I have arrived at the suspected location of the target." Soon after, the lean man slightly calmed his emotions and quietly approached.
His footsteps were light, and he didn't make a single sound.
He quietly grabbed the wall of the courtyard with both hands and exerted a little force with his ten fingers. With a grab and a push, he jumped in like a leopard cat. His hands and feet landed together, and the sound he made was extremely weak.
The man dressed in black immediately looked around. Suddenly, he found a blurry figure sitting cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard. He couldn't help but jump in fright.
"You guys still caught up." The person sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes.
"Run!" The man dressed in black's expression changed, and he didn't hesitate at all.
The man dressed in black understood that if it was a sneak attack or an assassination, he might still have a chance. But now that the other party had discovered him, according to the information, he had no chance at all.
"Swoosh." The man dressed in black retreated rapidly. His figure immediately flipped and was about to jump out of the courtyard.
"Boom!"
In the sight of the man dressed in black, he only saw the figure sitting cross-legged suddenly jump up. The whole cement ground suddenly shook and cracked. The figure was like a raging tiger. In an instant, it crossed the distance of seven or eight meters and pounced on the man dressed in black. The man dressed in black was so frightened that he didn't even have time to take out his weapon.
"Puchi!" The man dressed in black only felt a sharp pain in his throat.
"Ho ~ ~, ho ~ ~" The man dressed in black wanted to say something, but he couldn't. Then, his head fell down powerlessly. He had already died.
Teng Qingshan tore the sleeve of the man dressed in black, and blood was smeared on the man's arm. A complicated code similar to a 'tattoo' appeared on the arm of the man dressed in black. With Teng Qingshan's amazing eyesight, although there was only a faint trace of moonlight, he could still see it clearly. Teng Qingshan's expression slightly changed. "For me, they are willing to pay such a big price to ask the people of the 'Hand of Darkness' to track me."
"My whereabouts have been exposed. I can't stay in An Yi County any longer."
Teng Qingshan immediately went back into the house, changed his clothes, put on his backpack, and quietly left An Yi County in the dark of the night.
