Without saying a word, Chu Nan quickly moved towards that side. He knew that with the foot strength of this rural woman, she couldn't catch up with the thief, so he decided to help.
To say that he, a dignified successor of Tai Chi martial arts, is really overqualified for chasing a petty thief.
However, Chu Nan couldn't control that much at this time. He quickly approached the thief with a few quick steps, and his speed was obviously much faster than that of the rural woman.
"Stop that thief, help me stop him!"
The rural woman did not see Chu Nan passing her from the side. Instead, she saw two middle-aged and elderly men wearing sportswear and exercising in front of the thief, and she immediately shouted loudly.
When the man next to him saw the thief who was about to rush over, his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly pulled aside the middle-aged and elderly man next to him, who was about fifty or sixty years old. It seemed that he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, and even asked his companions to avoid him.
At this moment, the middle-aged and elderly man pushed him away and blocked the thief's path.
"Get out of my way, you old fool!"
Seeing that there was no way to go, the thief yelled and tried to hit the middle-aged and elderly people hard, trying to use his body to open a way.
Chu Nan frowned and sped up. He knew that the old man's body might not be able to withstand such a fierce collision, and it would be even more troublesome if he fell.
But at this moment, the old man was as light as a swallow and escaped from the thief's fierce impact. Not to mention, he reached out and put his hand on the thief's back, hooked his ankle with his foot, and
Two lines of resistance instantly formed, causing the thief who was moving at high speed to fall directly onto his back! “Ouch!!”
The thief let out a scream, stood up in a panic, and said angrily, "Damn, you damn old man actually dares to do something, I have to beat you to death!"
After saying that, he was about to hit the old man with his fist.
At this time, the middle-aged man next to the old man shouted anxiously, "How dare you, do you know who he is?"
You are looking for death!!"
But the thief who was already furious didn't care who the old man was, so he punched him out without hesitation! "Bang!"
In the midst of the lightning and flint, a big hand directly covered the thief's fist, and drew a strange circle and then used the force to push hard. The thief didn't even react and was knocked to the ground! This time he could fall!
The pain was so severe that the thief lay on the ground with his teeth grimacing and could not even get up. Naturally, he had no ability to escape.
"Yan..." The middle-aged man hurried to the old man's side. He was about to speak, but the old man glared at him and choked him back. He said awkwardly, "Are you okay?
I was so anxious just now."
"You, you, when you see a thief, you take the initiative to avoid him. What is the nature of this?
This is because you are afraid of death, you are a deserter, and if you want to go to the battlefield, you will be shot!"
The old man lectured the middle-aged man, "You are not even as good as a young man. It is really disappointing."
"This... I'm afraid something might happen to you. If the thief is really ruthless, he will do whatever it takes. What if he hurts you?
Then how can I explain..." The middle-aged man made a sound of grievance, but was unexpectedly driven away by the old man with a wave of his hand.
"Xiaoliang, you go back first, I'm exercising, I don't need anyone to accompany me so nervously.
If the security in Yongning City is really bad, you may not be able to protect my safety."
"Yes, yes..." The middle-aged man seemed to be afraid of the old man and nodded repeatedly, feeling embarrassed.
"I told you to run, and I told you to steal my things!"
The rural woman finally ran over and kicked the thief lying on the ground.
Chu Nan smiled and said, "Mom, if the thief is caught, don't hit him all the time. If you get hurt by a few more kicks, you will be responsible."
"Haha, I, I am too angry... By the way, my bag, where is my bag?"
The rural woman smiled awkwardly, and when she was about to speak out, she remembered that her bag was still in the hands of the thief! Chu Nan smiled and took out the cloth bag and said, "Auntie, is this the bag you are looking for?"
"Ah, yes, yes, oh, young man, thank you so much."
The rural woman hurriedly took her cloth bag, opened it and inspected it carefully, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God, I still have the money for the purchase.
This guy who killed me with a thousand cuts must have had bad intentions when he saw me stuffing the money into my cloth bag when I came out of the market just now.
Young man, thank you so much. The thirty thousand yuan in this bag is my family’s savings and hard-earned money to purchase goods. Thank you very much!”
"Auntie, you're welcome, it's just a little effort."
Chu Nan smiled, not to mention, doing things that help others makes you feel good.
"Young man, what's your name?
Where do you work?
No...I, I have to write a thank you letter to your leader, or I will send you a banner..." Chu Nan couldn't laugh or cry, "Auntie, no, no, I'm just a student, I don't need any banners, let alone any banners..."
What a thank you letter.
By the way, if you want to thank these two uncles more, they are the ones who stopped the thief."
When the rural women heard what Chu Nan said, they immediately expressed their gratitude to them.
Soon the police came and handcuffed the thief. The rural woman finally gave up the idea of repaying her kindness and turned around to leave.
At this time, the old man Xiao stared at Chu Nan with interest, and suddenly stopped Chu Nan who was about to leave.
"Young man, wait."
"Uncle, did you call me?"
Chu Nan turned to look at the old man and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to chat with you.
Looking at you like this, you must be doing morning exercises, right?
Haha, it just so happened that I happened to be the same, let’s go to the square for a walk.”
The old man waved to Chu Nan with a smile and took the lead in moving his body forward.
Chu Nan curled his lips, thought for a moment and followed him. He was going back to the square to practice Tai Chi martial arts anyway.
"Young people are pretty good, aren't they?
I just saw those moves you used to subdue the thief. They were quite special. They seemed a bit like... Tai Chi?"
The old man smiled as he walked, "Well, I'm also interested in martial arts, but I'm not a good fighter myself. I'm just guessing. Please don't be offended if I'm wrong!"
Chu Nan smiled and shook his head and said, "Uncle, you guessed it right, what I just did was indeed Tai Chi."
"Hey, I remember that Tai Chi martial arts seemed to have been lost hundreds of years ago, right?
I only learned about Tai Chi after reading film and television works. Are you... a descendant of Tai Chi?"
The old man smiled and said, "That's really disrespectful. I didn't expect you to be the heir to the quintessence of martial arts at such a young age. It's really amazing."
"Haha, uncle, you are too generous, I have only learned a little bit."
Chu Nan replied humbly.
"Not everyone can learn Tai Chi. You are very good."
The old man smiled and said, "I have been practicing a set of boxing techniques recently to maintain my health. You are an expert, how about you help me check it out?"
"ah?
I...I'm not familiar with health-preserving boxing techniques."
Chu Nan smiled and was about to decline, but unexpectedly the old man was already standing at the edge of the square and started fighting.
The reason why this old man’s boxing is called health-preserving boxing is entirely because this boxing is not aggressive. It is a certain martial art that is reduced to exercise the body. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to strengthen their physique and improve their immunity.
In fact, the boxing techniques of each sect can be reduced and used purely for physical exercise. After all, the original intention of Chinese martial arts is not to show off strength and ruthlessness, but to strengthen the body and prolong life.
Of course, Tai Chi Wuzong also has a reduced version of Tai Chi for exercise, and both the moves and the whole set of boxing techniques are undoubtedly top-notch in terms of their benefits to the human body.
After all, Tai Chi martial arts is the quintessence of China and a masterpiece of martial arts classics! Until the old man finished this health-preserving boxing technique, Chu Nan took a rough look at it and felt that although this boxing technique was reduced, it still seemed ordinary.
At this time, he suddenly had a sudden impulse and said tentatively, "Old man, I wonder if you are interested in learning Tai Chi for health?"
