On Monday morning, my dad was sleeping soundly at home. He must have secretly drunk some alcohol in the middle of the night when I wasn't paying attention. Based on his flushed face, he was as beautiful as Zhu Bajie who just got married.
I woke up at five in the morning and worried about how things would develop in the future. I gloomily ran to Dong Shan Lake to practice with gramps.
Gramps, who stood me up on Saturday and then stood me up on Sunday, had his hands behind his back as he gazed at the clear waters of Dong Shan Lake.
The reason why it's called clear water isn't because of the beautiful scenery, but because there's a market nearby. The vendors would sometimes throw the leftover rotten vegetables into the lake. The main cause of the clear water was the spinach leaves.
My face was probably as ugly as the spinach leaves. Gramps frowned when he saw me:
"Why are you frowning at such a young age! Do you have AIDS? "
"No, no …"
"Then what are you worried about?"
I can't tell him that my dad had sex with my classmate's mother and I can't face her right now!
Besides, this is considered my family business. Gramps and I aren't related and we don't even know each other's names. Even if my dad and Auntie Ren did it four times in one night, it has nothing to do with gramps!
"Since you don't have an incurable disease, then continue practicing with me!"
It might be because of the resentment of being stood up by me on Saturday, gramps was especially heavy handed today. I was bounced into the tree trunk many times by his strength, and my body was covered in bruises.
Also, my back and legs were sore because of the fight with the young master Xu TianMing. That's why the results of sparring with gramps were much worse than usual. It seems like I couldn't neutralize any of gramps' force.
However, after playing with me for a while, gramps looked at me, who was sitting against the tree trunk and panting. He twirled his beard and asked curiously, "What's wrong?
"I didn't expect your Hua Jin skills to improve so much after not practicing for two days!"
"Huh?" I was very surprised, "I was clearly beaten up by gramps!"
"Hmph, that's because I usually only use 20% of my strength, but I used 40% today! You didn't fall into DongShan Lake even with 40% of my power. This improvement can already be described as godly speed! "
So you were planning on pushing me into DongShan Lake and covering me with spinach leaves? Old Master, just how vengeful are you?
Also, could it be that my rapid progress has something to do with my battle with Xu TianMing yesterday?
That's not right! Because Xu Tianming's leg technique was too fast, Yin Yang Sanshou was completely useless against him!
Could it be the fight with He Ling in the Taekwondo dojo? Did I accidentally reach a higher realm because of my physical exhaustion and Yin Yang Sanshou was the only thing I could rely on?
Wahahahaha! I am indeed a genius! Seeing how I leveled up so quickly, I'm definitely the best candidate to pass down profound martial arts. Gramps, shouldn't you come to your senses and immediately teach me the Fa Jin of Yin Yang Sanshou? If you hold onto my thigh and beg me to learn, maybe I will reluctantly agree!
Gramps seemed to have noticed what I was thinking. He curled his lips and said:
"In the future, you don't have to learn boxing from me every day."
"Huh?"
"Even if you come, you might not be able to find me."
"Huh?"
"Take your time to understand what I've taught you before!"
"Huh?"
"The most important thing is that you're not allowed to mention that I'm your master to anyone else."
I was startled. Grandpa, do you want to end our relationship here? I, I haven't learned enough yet! Don't be like those masters in wuxia novels, coming and going as you please!
"Master, master! Your disciple was wrong! Don't chase me away! "
I hugged gramps' thigh and yelled with a sobbing tone.
Gramps was so angry that his face turned purple. He kicked me to the side and said angrily:
"I already said you're not allowed to call me master! There's a reason why I said I won't practice boxing with you every day! "
"Huh?"
"If we're just comparing Hua Jin, your Yin Yang Sanshou is probably close to my daughter's level …"
"Although my granddaughter is a martial arts genius and you're far behind her, she doesn't want to learn. She says things like 'learning Yin Yang Sanshou with grandpa will make your legs shorter!' and 'I don't know why she was tricked into learning so much when she was young!'"
"Martial arts is like rowing a boat against the current. If you don't advance, you'll fall behind. In time, you might actually surpass them!"
I felt depressed after hearing that. Does gramps want to hide his skills? Does he not want an outsider like me to surpass his own family members?
"More importantly, the smell of vegetables by the lake in the summer is too bad …"
Huh? Gramps, you changed the topic a bit too quickly!
"I suggest that you don't run here every day. I heard from the city leaders that they're going to build some pavilions around Dong Shan Lake to attract foreign tourists. When the time comes, you'll have to run half the way around Dong Shan Lake. The dust you'll inhale will be enough to give you lung disease!"
"Could it be …" I said emotionally, "Gramps, are you worried about my health and want to teach me somewhere else?"
"You're so fucking shameless! I'm worried about my own health! "
After glaring at me for a while, gramps said:
"A master can show you the way, but it's up to you. Besides, I'm not your real master. You should slowly experience the mysteries of Yin Yang Sanshou before the renovation of DongShan Lake is finished! Remember, don't easily use Yin Yang Sanshou against others. Your Hua Jin has already reached a new stage. 'Fa Jin' and 'Hua Jin' originate from the same source. If you learn the trick to using Fa Jin on your own, but you lack experience … "
"What will happen?" I said anxiously, "Will I go mad and die?"
"Damn, I already told you not to read so many wuxia novels!" Gramps hit me on the head, "It's worse than going mad!"
After lecturing me, gramps said with a worried expression:
"'Force Exertion' is a very common way of using energy in the martial arts world. Take Wing Chun for example, there are 'Long Bridge Exertion' and 'Short Bridge Exertion'. The top boxers in Europe and America also use Force Exertion, but they don't call it that way."
"When my ancestor created Yin Yang Sanshou, it was during the chaotic era of war in China. Therefore, when Yin Yang Sanshou was unleashed, it emphasized lethality … If this' Yang Force 'hit an ordinary person's body, and it was close to a vital point, it could kill them!"
I didn't really believe him, but since gramps sounded so serious, I could only promise to be careful in the future and not use Yang Force to hit people.
By the way, you never taught me how to use Fa Jin! How am I supposed to learn it by myself? How could I use Yang Force to kill people!
"Then, do I still come here to find gramps after the renovation of DongShan Lake is finished? What if you don't come? "
"What's so hard about that, do you think a living person would die from holding in their pee?" Gramps snorted, "Give me your phone number! I'll give you a call when I think it's about time! "
After I gave gramps my phone number, gramps said he didn't bring pen and paper. He couldn't remember such a long string of numbers, so he changed his mind.
"You can remember my phone number! But don't randomly call me! You can only call me if you run into a problem you can't solve! "
I was overjoyed and surprised: "Gramps, you actually have a phone!"
Gramps said angrily: "Why can't I have a phone! Do you think I'm an antique? Not only do I have a phone, but my son even bought me an iPhone 5! I still hold the highest record for 'Fruit Ninja' in the Martial Arts Association! "
After I parted ways with gramps, I was a bit disappointed that I wouldn't be able to see him for a while. But I was secretly happy when I heard that my Yin Yang Sanshou made great progress.
Because I was delayed in the morning, I was late to school today. Not only did I miss the flag raising ceremony, I also snuck into class 2-3 and found Xiao Qin, who also didn't attend the flag raising ceremony. She was holding a thick book with the words' Math Problem Collection 'on the cover. She had tears streaming down her face as she read it.
Damn, there's no need to be so sad even if it's all math problems you can't solve! Since when did you become so self-motivated!
No, that's not right! Xiao Qin doesn't care about her grades! I might have believed it if it was Gong CaiCai, but if it was Xiao Qin, she wouldn't feel the slightest bit of guilt or regret even if she scored zero in every subject. It's even more impossible for her to cry because she can't solve math problems!
Could it be because of something else? Did you remember that incident when you were flipping through the problem collection? What exactly is it that makes you so sad?
Damn, did you find out about Auntie Ren and my dad? Two days ago, you were reminding me not to have any improper thoughts about my real sister, Ai Mi, and that brother-sister love was disgusting. Now that I'm walking down the path of an adopted sister, are you crying because you can't accept it?
Damn, Auntie Ren, you're too outrageous! It's fine if my dad didn't keep his promise, but why did you tell your daughter about it! Is it something to brag about? Is it amazing to do it four times in one night? How are we supposed to face each other as children?
I walked over awkwardly and awkwardly, but I found that the book in Xiao Qin's hands only had a cover for a math problem collection. There were no formulas on the pages, only lines and lines of Chinese characters.
Xiao Qin turned her head when she realized I came over with sparkling tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
"Sob sob sob, Ye Lin classmate, Ye Lin classmate …"
I thought she would say something like "Our parents did that, what should we do!" but instead, she said:
"— — This novel is so touching!"
"I'm currently reading books to collect inspiration for manga. This novel is so touching!"
"Even if she killed all her rivals, she still wanted to be with the male protagonist. What a brave female protagonist! Why did they award the Nobel Prize in Literature to Mo Yan! This novel is clearly greater! "
"Isn't that right? Eh? Why are you trembling? Could it be that you like Mo Yan and I made you angry? "
Bastard! If you don't know about our parents, then don't casually shed tears to scare me! Also, don't read this bloody and violent novel while beating around the bush to warn me!
