152 Bad timing

 When we were having dinner in Sitai Village last night, the village captain complained that the quarry five or six miles east of their village was closed at the beginning of the year.

You know, when the quarry was first mined, four to five hundred retired soldiers were mobilized.

So many people were transferred at any time, leaving many villagers in their Sidai Village who were working in the quarry to go home and farm.

If the quarry was still there, there would be no need to ask the district. Just the more than two hundred guns and several cannons in the factory, let alone tigers, would be enough to fight bandits.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian knew that the forest farms around the capital would not last for many years.

It’s just that when it comes to going to work in the city, I always ask my second uncle and Uncle Jiang what they think.

But Chu Yuan's entry into the city is a sure thing.

Of course, with 1,000 yuan, three jobs, and 200 kilograms of food stamps, compared with two tigers, one leopard, and two wolves, I might still suffer a loss.

But some things cannot be calculated so clearly.

Coming out of Chen Huaili's office, the smile on Chu Xiangqian's face never stopped.

This old boy actually said clearly that he wanted to be transferred, and he even planned where to go.

Pulling Chu Qianqian to give him some advice, he even hinted at letting him help get a wild boar.

Accepting it from the bottom of his heart, Chu Xiangqian certainly hopes that Chen Huaili will be transferred away.

But the timing was wrong.

He had just been promoted to section chief in a short period of time. When Chu Xiangqian thought about it, he thought it was impossible.

After all, this is not a war era.

No one would believe a 20-year-old head of the Public Security Section, so the probability of the superiors agreeing will naturally increase the difficulty several times.

It's better to hold Chen Huaili steady, lest the superiors parachute a new person over.

Chu Xiangqian thought about this again and again, and said it directly to Chen Huaili.

Chen Huaili was stunned when he heard this, and then angrily said that Chu Xiangqian was not a good person like Cao Guanglin.

Chu Xiangqian heard that he didn't mean what he said.

If he were transferred in a hurry, a fool would think that he was forced to leave by himself.

But after a year and a half, there will be far fewer rumors.

Moreover, it is a big favor to help Chu Qianqian. If he is transferred in the future, he will be able to leave a lasting impression.

When dealing with him again, it would be Chu Xiangqian who owed him, so it would be much easier to talk and ask for help.

The two started talking, and Chu Xiangqian repeatedly promised that in one year, not to mention one wild boar, but two or three, would be given to him.

Chen Huaili naturally had no reason not to agree.

As for whether he will regret it in the future, that is a matter for the future.

Moreover, Chen Huaili can't suppress Chu Xiangqian now, and he will be even less able to suppress him after giving Chu Xiangqian a year or two.

After entering the office of the University of Science and Technology of Public Security, Xue Hongmei hurriedly stood up and pulled him to ask questions.

Chu Xiangqian didn't show any sign of impatience. The two of them chatted and laughed until they got off work, then they separated and went home.

When he arrived at the courtyard, a group of boys saw him entering and gathered around him.

Chu Xiangqian didn't have time to deal with these children. He just said a few perfunctory words and excused himself to something else on the street, so he went home and changed into furs, wearing a military coat, cotton trousers, and warm leather boots.

Get on your bicycle and go find Old Man Gong.

I went into the mountains for four days and while hunting, I naturally didn’t forget to gain experience in the game.

On the night of the first day in the mountain, after 12 o'clock, Chu Xiangqian's experience had reached level 7, 5820/6400.

After the second day and the third day, he was already level 8, 320/12800.

I was thinking about adding something while riding my bicycle.

After thinking about it, I finally continued to add 1 point to the physical constitution.

When the constitution reaches 5.8, the strength and agility also increase by 0.2 each.

Strength 3.1, Agility 2.9.

In an instant, I felt that all the muscles in my body were pulsating, and my whole body was full of energy and blood.

If a master practicing martial arts sees him, he will definitely be surprised and pull him over and say that he is a talented martial arts wizard.

After 12 o'clock tonight, the two hunting dogs can also be upgraded to level 8. As for the tits, they will not be available until the day after tomorrow.

When he was approaching Gong Changqing's house, Chu looked forward and left, and saw a 2-pound piece of wolf jerky appearing out of thin air in the night and hanging on the handlebar of his bicycle.

After knocking on the door, the old lady opened the door for herself.

When she saw it was Chu Qianqian, the old lady's face suddenly showed a bright smile. While pulling him into the house, she turned back and called Gong Changqing into the house.

The old man was not as enthusiastic as before. After all, after becoming a master, he could not be as polite as before. He had to show off as a master.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care, and if Old Man Gong was as polite as before, Chu Xiangqian would be embarrassed himself.

If you want to learn from other people's skills, you have to respect them, otherwise you will just be a white-eyed wolf!

After entering the room, he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Master, I'm here to see you and your wife."

The old lady smiled kindly, and Gong Changqing nodded with a smile, pointed at the dining table and said, "Looking at you, you probably haven't eaten yet. Come over here and sit down and have something to eat."

Chu Xiangqian was not polite and handed the dried meat in his hand to the old lady, regardless of the old lady's complaint that she didn't need to bring gifts when she came to her house in the future.

He sat down and picked up a small flask filled with loose wine, poured a glass of wine for the master and himself. After toasting, he picked up the chopsticks the old lady brought for him and started eating.

When the old couple saw that he was so rude, not only were they not angry, but they became even happier.

Chu Xiangqian didn't eat much. He ate two steamed buns and a bowl of millet porridge and said he was full.

After all, everyone only has so much food rations, and he is indeed not short of food, so there is no need to compete with old men and old ladies for a bite to eat.

Without waiting for the old couple to persuade themselves to eat more, they took the initiative and said, "Master, when I practice boxing these days and drive wooden stakes, I always feel that I can exert force but cannot hold it back. So I want to ask you, what do I think?

Isn’t that a problem?”

Gong Changqing and the old lady were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.

He hurriedly took Chu Qianqian out of the house and asked him to punch a persimmon tree in the yard.

Chu Qianqian hurriedly waved his hand, "Master, when I punched at home, I could hit a big tree with one punch, and the bark was broken. I'd better hit bluestone."

Gong Changqing couldn't care less about the persimmon tree at this time, and after Chu Xiangqian became his apprentice, he never forgot to bring dried meat to his house. From this look, he and his wife would definitely have better days in the future than before.

Naturally, Chu Qianqian is regarded as a treasure, but there is no way he is willing to let him hit the bluestone.

"Stop being so nagging, I'll hit you when I ask you to."

Chu shrugged forward, stood next to the persimmon tree, stood up, and shot with only 5 points of force.

But even so, the bark was still broken into pieces.

Gong Changqing had good eyesight. While surprised, he quickly asked, "How much force did you use?"

Chu Qianqian thought for a while and said, "Fifty percent."

"Okay, okay."

Gong Changqing laughed loudly, 50% strength is stronger than others with 120% strength. This is what his uncle said back then, there are people with extraordinary talents, one in ten thousand, who are born to be more suitable for practicing martial arts than ordinary people.

"Quickly practice the boxing technique I taught you last week."

Chu Qianqian didn't hesitate, walked to the middle of the yard, set up his stance and started practicing.

That posture really makes the sound of breaking the wind when punching.

What's even more rare is that when moving, the steps are much faster than ordinary people.

It is both powerful and flexible, and is naturally suitable for practicing Baguazhang and Xingyiquan.

Baguazhang is a black hand, which means that Baguazhang is good at attacking from the side, always circling you when attacking, and specializing in vital points.

The more flexible you are and the faster you move, the harder it is for your opponent to defend you.

If you are flexible and strong enough, one palm strike will naturally have a stronger effect.

Xingyiquan, on the other hand, goes straight forward, focusing on two points and one line, and it explodes instantly.

The force of the punch is so strong that it can be said that Xingyi beats someone to death within three years.

The greater the strength, the greater the advantage.

But since we pay attention to going straight, we naturally know the importance of punching speed, and we also have requirements for flexibility.

In other words, everyone who practices boxing hopes to be both powerful and flexible.

But this can only be an extravagant hope. If you practice again and again, you will eventually have a focus.

Chu Xiangqian has both, and for Gong Changqing, he is an indispensable martial arts genius.

Secretly, with the blessings of our ancestors, our Gong family will finally produce another martial arts prodigy.

As for the fact that Chu Xiangqian's surname is not Gong, the old man has not cared about it for a long time, or there is nothing he can do about it even if he wants to.

After all, he himself has no children, and his cousin, as a direct descendant, has never married.

Now that I am over 50, it is even less possible to recruit a son-in-law.

In other words, his Gong family will basically be extinct in the future.

However, it is not completely impossible.

When Chu Xiangqian finished practicing a set of boxing techniques, which were specially used to lay the foundation, Gong Changqing's face flushed with excitement and he looked at his wife.

The old lady's eyes were shining at this time, with a look of surprise on her face.

He asked Old Man Gong, "Should you teach Baguazhang first, or should I teach Xingyiquan first?"

Chu Qianqian was startled. He didn't expect his master's wife to learn Xingyiquan when she looked at Rourou's weakness.

As for Old Man Gong's knowledge of Baguazhang, Chu Xiangqian was not surprised.

Gong Baosen himself first learned Baguazhang. Later, because his ancestors felt that Bagua and Xingyi had many similarities, the two groups communicated with each other very early, and later they even called themselves brothers.

So much so that many people can gossip.

Those who know Bagua also learned Xingyiquan.

Then some people from the two schools began to think about combining the two, and that's how Xingyi Baguaquan came into being.

Among them, Gong Baosen is naturally the most outstanding, but if his senior brother Ding Lianshan hadn't had an accident, it might not have been Gong Baosen's turn to be the leader of this sect.

Gong Changqing could naturally tell that his wife wanted to teach Chu Xiangqian Xingyi Quan first, but he was also worried that after Chu Xiangqian learned Xingyi Quan, he would focus more on using Xingyi Quan in the future.

After thinking about it, he simply said to Chu Qianqian, "Qianqian, since it only takes you four or five days to learn the basic boxing skills, and you can learn them in a decent way. Then why don't you learn Xingyi in odd numbers, and follow me in even numbers?

Gossip."

Of course Chu Xiangqian had no problem, but the old lady glanced at Gong Changqing, secretly thinking that this damn old man still liked to be clever as before.

Otherwise, his cousin would not have guarded his nephew and not taught him, but he would have just figured out and improved the sixty-four hands and passed them on to his only daughter.

Bagua originally refers to the sixty-four moves, and the Gong family’s sixty-four moves are deliberately mentioned. It is naturally the result of Gong Baosen and the Gong family’s seniors improving it themselves, or figuring out new tricks and killing moves.

This was naturally a secret that was not told in the past.

Even when Ip Man studied Wing Chun in Foshan, the tuition fee he paid was 12 taels of gold, which is approximately 447.6 grams.

It is equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan in tuition fees in the future, which ordinary people cannot afford to study.

Moreover, at that time, Ye Wen's master was still renting and teaching boxing at the Ye Family Ancestral Hall. Only with this connection was he willing to accept disciples.

After all, the 7-year-old Ip Man was not in good health at the time. His parents asked him to learn boxing because they wanted to keep fit.

It can be seen that in the old society, boxing has always been a secret that was not taught.

You can’t just learn it if you want to, let alone learn other people’s unique skills and the ability to be the best.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about the Gong family's sixty-four moves. Since he was new to learning, he just wanted to learn it first.

Secondly, in his mind, although technique is important, when the strength and speed exceed a certain level, technique is not important.

Because no one can compete with you.

A punch like a tiger's or a black bear's palm, even an expert in martial arts can't stop it. There is no chance to show the importance of skills.

Chu Xiangqiang and Gong Changqing first learned to change the palm technique. Gong Changqing taught and taught, and found that Chu Xiangqian knew it as soon as he taught it. In a moment of excitement, he even taught him the technique of walking, walking and turning.

The two of them were talking about what they had experienced, and the other was studying seriously. Two hours passed before they knew it.

Gong Changqing saw that if he continued teaching, he would have to teach him how to exert force, so he hurriedly sent Chu Qianqian away.

Let him go back and practice hard until he is proficient in it, and then teach him other things.

Finally, there are practical skills.

Chu Xiangqian also knew that it was better to bite off more than he could chew. He had learned this palm technique and steps, which was enough for him to ponder for a while.

Not to mention that I have to come over tomorrow night to learn Xingyiquan from my master.

As for combining the two, Chu Xiangqian has no idea at all right now. At the same time, he also knows that when he is proficient in both, he will naturally learn and apply them in actual combat.

There is no need to deliberately force the union.

After Chu Qianqian greeted his wife and pushed his bicycle home, the old lady stared at Gong Changqing and asked, "Mr. Gong, if you dare to speak ill of Xingyi Quan in front of Qianqian, you will do it yourself from now on."

Cook and do your own laundry.

I simply moved in with Qianqian. Anyway, the child seemed filial at first glance, and the family was not short of house and food. It was very easy to support an old lady like me."

Gong Changqing hurriedly begged for mercy, and sighed and said, "It's not like you haven't seen how quickly that kid learns things. Now I just want him to work hard to learn Xingyiquan from you.

Otherwise, if we only teach for a year and a half, we will have nothing to teach him anymore."

"That's you," the old lady said with a proud smile, "that damn uncle of yours, who was upright and upright on the surface and had the demeanor of a great master.

But secretly, his senior brother Ding Lianshan had many times bullied and killed someone just because of someone's verbal offense at the wine table.

When I get older, I still think about the spread of Southern Quan to the North and the integration of North and South.

At the end of the day, although you may want to find a successor on the surface, you are actually doing it for the sake of fame.

You deserve it that your team is so thin that you will end up in a situation where your successors are almost cut off.

My natal family is different. They study martial arts and farming without any regard for fame or fortune, and have no ambition. Not only do they have many brothers and sisters, they also have many descendants and nephews, as well as many disciples.

I have nothing to teach me, so I can ask my uncle, master, or even uncle to teach me.

You can also ask your peers or nephews to come and teach Qiang Qian.

When the time comes, I will have skills, experience, and understanding of actual combat, and I will definitely become better at and accustomed to using Xingyiquan in the future.

Besides, the twelve forms of Xingyi and Yi are easy to learn but hard to master, so it will take a lifetime of thinking forward."

Gong Changqing was stunned, but he knew in his heart that his wife was right, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious and anxious.

When she went to bed at night, the old lady slept very peacefully, but Old Man Gong couldn't fall asleep.

It's not easy to meet a martial arts prodigy. If this is compared with Xingyi, how can I go to see my ancestors after my death?

No, I will send a telegram to my cousin tomorrow and ask her to come back and see what happens.

Even if you can't teach him explicitly, you can let him hide forward and watch his uncle boxing.

He even asked his cousin to explain the Gong family's sixty-four techniques to gods and Buddhas in a Taoist temple, while Xiang Qiang eavesdropped.

After all, he is his apprentice and does not count as stealing lessons.

If you tell me, outsiders will at best scold you as a branch of the Gong family.

Or to tell the outside world, my uncle had already taught my nephew, the Gong family, the sixty-four moves. After all, Ding Lianshan, an outsider, knew it, so why couldn't I, the Gong family, learn it?

Thinking of this, Old Man Gong thought again, should he look for old connections and find out what Ma San's apprentices have been doing all these years?

What if those disciples of Ma San come out to act recklessly again, using the excuse of cleaning up the family?

Then use righteousness to silence outsiders and teach the Qiangong family sixty-four skills, and it will be a matter of course.

No matter how bad it is, basically no one among my colleagues who are still living in China dares to stir up trouble in the face of justice.

As long as no one publicly jumps out to accuse, it is equivalent to the acquiescence of the entire martial arts world.

Gong Changqing smiled and then fell asleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, I didn't even eat breakfast. After washing up in a hurry, I waited outside the telegraph office for work.

Then I immediately sent a telegram to Hong Kong Island.

After Chu Qianqian returned to the courtyard last night, he originally wanted to go home and ponder the palm skills and footwork he had just learned.

It's a pity that as soon as I entered the courtyard, I was blocked by stupid people, patriots, people and others.

I was forced to go to the middle courtyard and talk about hunting tigers.

There are very few entertainment activities these days, and some people are reluctant to even light up the lights when it gets dark.

As soon as we finished eating, we followed our children to wash up and go to bed.

Just to save the remaining electricity bill.

Of course, the current electricity price is indeed not cheap, so many families still use kerosene lamps.

Chu Xiangqian had no choice but to be pushed into the middle courtyard by Patriot, Aimin, Liu Guangtian, Yan Jiefang and other boys.

Seeing that even the deaf old lady, the steward next door and a few old men and women were sitting on chairs despite the severe cold, Chu Xiangqian knew that he could not escape.

Since he had to talk about it, Chu Xiangqian immediately corrected his attitude, saying that it was about ups and downs.

People in the yard also exclaimed in surprise.

When they heard Chu Qianqian say that he was almost attacked by a female tiger and knocked down, the faces of the timid ones turned pale.

Lou Xiao'e even covered her face and said 'ah' in fear.

Fortunately, I just yelled and reacted immediately, blushing and not daring to look up.

No one present doubted it. After all, Chu Xiangqian had basically never entered the middle courtyard, let alone the backyard.

I helped Xu Damao go to the backyard twice before. No one else in the yard knew about it except the people who were drinking at the time.

Chu Qianqian glanced at Lou Xiao'e, and while continuing to speak, he inadvertently glanced at Qin Huairu. When he saw that her face was also pale, he felt satisfied.
