Chapter 8: The Break......
Since that conversation, Hao Qi has returned to his daily routine, which is to go to school, box, eat, and sleep......
Seeing that the proficiency of Luohan Boxing is getting closer and closer to the extreme, Hao Qi's heart is becoming more and more worried, after all, this is really the biggest turning point in his life, what the future is like, whether he can fulfill his dreams, or a down-to-earth ordinary life, are all revealed at the moment when Luohan Boxing reaches the extreme, which is impossible for him to meditate.
"Your heart is upset, so let's stop it for today. Su Shiyan said with a frown.
Hao Qi took a breath, he looked at the sky, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, although he could continue to practice boxing, but today's bottom line of five thousand punches has been completed, and his heart is really messed up, so let's just end it early, otherwise, like those last punches just now, I don't even have a little experience in air swinging, it's a waste of physical strength.
Su Shiyan saw Hao Qi packing up there, she frowned and looked at the fist marks that Hao Qi made on the giant tree, especially the fist marks of the last few punches, and suddenly, she said to Hao Qi: "Look at the sword." β
Between the lightning and flint, a sword illuminated, like lightning, Hao Qi only saw this light in his eyes, and in the next moment, everything in front of him returned to normal, still the quiet long-haired girl, she was still just holding a sword, the sword was not out of her body, and the long-haired girl was still more than ten steps away from him.
"Just now...... Did you draw your sword?" Hao Qi asked in surprise.
Su Shiyan did not answer, but looked at Hao Qi seriously and said: " I know you in the past few days, every punch you make is with sincerity, every punch seems to be asking your most sincere heart, which is also the reason why I am optimistic about you, sincere to the martial arts, martial arts will inevitably be sincere to him, this is my grandmother, a strong internal force when I was very young, enlightened my martial arts when I told me, she wants me to be sincere to my martial arts, sincere to my sword, sincere to my heart, so I am half a year younger than you, but I have practiced a third-rate swordsmanship to the extreme, which is why I want to supervise you and let you learn martial arts with me, I believe you are the same person, but today I am disappointed, I can't see your sincerityYou...... Is it insulting your martial arts that you have been practicing hard for nine years!?"
Su Shiyan said this very harshly, but Hao Qi was silent, in fact, his approach and ideas were completely different from Su Shiyan's guess, there are several aspects, one is that if he is not serious, or as Su Shiyan said, with a wholehearted empty wave, then the system will not calculate the experience of empty wave, which has been verified by him countless times more than nine years ago, so how dare he not go to empty wave wholeheartedly?
The other is that he has no choice, from more than nine years to the orphanage, without relatives and no reason, without any future and future, his only choice is the golden finger attached to him, this system is his whole future, how dare he not be sincere about this?
However, what Su Shiyan said was well-intentioned, and sincerity in martial arts is indeed the most important attitude as a martial artist, although he has a system, but the system is by no means omnipotent, at least his system is by no means omnipotent, so he must also have such a spirit, today he is indeed wrong.
"Be taught. Hao Qi said seriously with his fists clenched.
Su Shiyan looked at Hao Qi's serious eyes, she nodded slightly, and then she turned around and walked not far away, and Hao Qi naturally followed behind him, the two of them walked all the way, heading towards the dormitory, and after walking for a while, Su Shiyan suddenly asked, "Did you think of something just now?"
Hao Qi once told Su Shiyan that there would be the most important changes on his 19th birthday, and his future life path would be chosen on that day.
Su Shiyan has actually checked the eighteen generations of Hao Qi's ancestors a long time ago, after all, she is a descendant of the family, and she is a descendant of the descendant, plus the Su family is one of the strongest families in the Qianshan Empire, even in the Blue Shadow Republic, she can also use the convenience brought by many families, and connections are one of them, so it is really simple for her to find out the family background of a person like Hao Qi who has no background.
Although she does not intend to teach the martial arts of the Hao Qi family, she has no right to teach this aspect herself, but she is really optimistic about Hao Qi, this is a very rare true martial artist, although now he only practices a set of non-flow boxing, but as long as he changes to other martial arts, with his mental talent, the future achievements are limitless, and it is not easy to become a strong internal force, and the meaning of a strong internal force represents is really clear to the children of a family like her, so whether it is to appreciate or to make a good fate, it is necessary to understand Hao Qi's heart, understand Hao Qi's family history, and understand Hao Qi's pastγ
Su Shiyan naturally knows that Hao Qi is an orphan, his life experience is normal, and this kind of unpopular garbage boxing method is indeed only possible for orphans to practice for more than nine years, but he has a sister who is also born as an orphan, or a sister who recognizes, that sister is currently the fiancΓ©e of Li Pancheng, the eldest son of the Li family in the capital of the Blue Shadow Republic.
Some of these things can be imagined, the intelligence mentions that his sister Xue Na cares about him very much, and does have the love of sister and brother, so he has always wanted him to enter the army, and it is in the army that Li Pancheng is in charge of, which is obviously to let Hao Qi participate in the affairs of the Li family as the wife of the Li family, but he has always been rejected by Hao Qi.
Su Shiyan even knew that more than a month ago, after Xue Na and Li Pancheng returned to the capital area, they came to the university to find Hao Qi, that is, the night she took the Jade Muscle Pill, and even Hao Qi had a hand with Xue Na, these are all things that Hao Qi said personally, so Hao Qi must not be able to hide the matter of practicing a set of boxing techniques to the realm of Dacheng, so even if Xue Na is from a civilian background and does not understand this, but Li Pancheng must understand, as long as he is not an idiot, he will definitely recruit Hao Qi.
Wife and brother, good personality, good heart, martial arts talent is even better, the most important thing is a true martial artist, this is simply a piece of jade that has not been polished, so you don't have to worry about loyalty, and there is no family past involvement, the lowest achievements in the future are people who are quasi-internal strength, the help for the Li family is really too great, and it is certain to become the surname of the Li family in the future, and even heard that the Li family is yin and yang, Li Pancheng began to have several younger sisters, as long as Hao Qi nodded and agreed to recruit, even becoming the Li family's own people can see the future......
Su Shiyan felt that he had guessed Hao Qi's entanglement, and he was estimated to reply to the Li family's solicitation on his nineteenth birthday, which was indeed a huge turning point in his future life.
Hao Qi heard the inquiry, and he nodded and said, "Well, about the changes on my nineteenth birthday...... To be honest, I'm worried. β
"What are you worried about?" Su Shiyan asked seemingly casually, "Is this the future path you are going to choose?"
"No, not this. Hao Qi shook his head and denied: "I have my own chosen future, I have my own chosen path, I have never been confused about this, I dream of this, it's just ...... You also know that reality is reality, and it will not change because of how noble your ideas are, how free your dreams are, and I am just a layman, if when I am nineteen years old, my path, my thoughts, and the future I choose by myself will not work, then I will definitely be able to bow to this reality, and from then on I will be down-to-earth. β
Although Su Shiyan didn't understand a little, such as what the path Hao Qi chose by herself, but in general she still understood, but she felt a little regretful in her heart, after all, Hao Qi was such a talent, she also moved to recruit, if he could go back to the Su family with her, he would not be disadvantaged if he wanted to come to the Su family, perhaps, similar to the Li family's choice, the Su family is not without a concubine......
I don't know what I thought, Su Shiyan's face flushed slightly, and she quickly turned her head, and said after a while: "It's a pity, I'm afraid I can't come to your birthday, because of some circumstances, I am estimated to be away for about a week around your birthday, so when I come back, tell me the future you chose." β
Hao Qi was a little surprised, but he also knew that Su Shiyan was the daughter of the family, and it was estimated that this was the trouble of the children of the family, although he had obtained a much higher starting point than ordinary people, but at the same time he had lost some freedom, so he said clearly: "Then you go and do your business, no matter what choice I have on my birthday, it is estimated that I will not leave the capital area in a short time, so when you come back, you can also see me on campus." β
Next, the two of them had no interest in talking, and they broke up in front of each other's dormitories, and just like that, the next few days were not shocking, and the two were still a guide, a practice, and lived a normal life on this campus.
And when there was less than a month left before Hao Qi's birthday, Hao Qi went to the fast food restaurant according to the usual time, waiting for Lin Xiong to give him money, although with Su Shiyan's additional meal, but recently he has increased his training speed, and he can complete the extreme level of Luohan boxing in about a day or two before his birthday, so the money is consumed a lot, but there are only about the last twenty days left, and then no matter which path he chooses, Lin Xiong can be stained with his light, and he can finally start to feed his brothers.
But today is very strange, he waited for an afternoon, a few hours longer than usual, but Lin Xiong never arrived, which made him vigilant, and he began to worry, he was afraid that Lin Xiong had an accident when he was in the dark, even if he was just the lowest gangster, but if there was an accident, no one could say.
Just when Hao Qi was about to go to the chaotic neighborhoods where Lin Xiong often mixed to investigate and find out, a similar gangster came to the door of the fast food restaurant and handed Hao Qi an envelope and a few words, the envelope was about half of the money in the past, and those few words were that Lin Xiong had been inconvenient recently, so he should not meet for the time being.
Hao Qi was suddenly shocked, he was a little at a loss, and asked this little gangster again and again, and he got the information that Lin Xiong said personally, and there was no other information, which made Hao Qi even more worried and confused.
What kind of friendship did he have with Lin Xiong, and how could he be sent away with such simple words?
Besides, Lin Xiong has supported him for so many years, if he dislikes him for eating for nothing, then he would have already disliked it, and it is impossible for him to turn his face twenty days before he said that he was nineteen years old and chose the future, which is unreasonable!
Hao Qi had a simple dinner in the fast food restaurant, and the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger, and he was worried that Lin Xiong had something big on the stall, and he was afraid that it would affect him, so he simply pretended to have a bad relationship with him to protect him?
No matter what, Hao Qi was relieved, so he simply didn't go back to school, but took a car to those chaotic neighborhoods, and then looked for Lin Xiong's traces, after all, he had also come here to look for Lin Xiong, and he also knew that several of Lin Xiong's subordinates, after searching for several hours, he finally found one of Lin Xiong's subordinates, followed him, and found another of Lin Xiong's subordinates......
Anyway, Hao Qi delayed all night, and finally found Lin Xiong's location at dawn, it was an ordinary house, but it was a house in a chaotic neighborhood, so there were some strange spray patterns outside the wall, and there were some addicts or thieves and prostitutes around.
The social level of this world is about the level of the early twentieth century on the earth, and this initial level of social welfare is quite a bad period, think of the old neighborhood of London at that time, or the chaos in Shanghai Beach, and this place is exactly like this, in fact, along the way, Hao Qi has encountered several robberies and attacks, of course, the people who robbed and attacked are some ordinary people, so there is no threat to him at all, he can also escape, to avoid causing big trouble here.
Hao Qi looked left and right under Lin Xiong's house, it was early in the morning, there were few people around, he simply climbed the wall, Luohan boxing exercise forearms and legs came in handy at this time, so that his wall climbing action was very smooth, and no one noticed that he climbed the wall to the window of the room where Lin Xiong was, and listened carefully there.
There were voices of men and women in the room, and it was the sound of that time, which made Hao Qi very embarrassed, but he had doubts, so he didn't make any movement, and still stayed there quietly, just like that, he listened to the corners of the wall, and the voices of men and women in the room finally stopped, followed by the sound of ignition and smoking, and the words of men and women affectionately.
Hao Qi didn't hear these love words, he just waited by the wall and window, and after a long time, there were all kinds of sounds in the room to freshen up and make the bed, and he finally heard what he wanted to hear.
"Uncle, it doesn't matter, right? You didn't go to see your brother today, didn't you say that he had a great future, so he was left out in the cold, what if the relationship went bad?" the female voice suddenly asked.
Lin Xiong's voice replied: "Hey, the future is great, if he follows the eldest sister to the army and joins the Li family, then he really has a great future, otherwise? Could he really rely on that set of unpopular garbage boxing methods to become a strong person with internal strength? That strong internal force is too worthless, right? Don't you know, not long ago, the eldest prince of the Li family personally recruited him, and he also wanted to teach him a first-class high-level martial arts, do you know how? He actually refused? And such a fool?"
"Ah, first-class martial arts, or high-level?" the woman exclaimed, "If it were me, then I would have to agree to sell myself." β
"Hahaha, it looks like you haven't sold yourself at some point. Lin Xiong said teasingly.
The woman sneered for a few words, and then continued to ask, "Then what's next? Is it because he refused that he didn't go to see him?"
Lin Xiong's voice continued: "It's not like this, it seems that he has a great future, and he has been worshipping him all these years, serving him like an uncle, but if he refuses this time, it is estimated that he will really have no way to go in the future, then I still worship him like this, I am really an idiot." β
The woman asked strangely, "But uncle, didn't you say before that he and you had a lifelong friendship?
"Hahaha, what is a brother? Brother is just a good thing to sell out! Are you the first day you came out to mingle? Have you ever seen these streets, there is that righteous person who lives a long time? In the past, maybe I really took him as a life friendship, but after so many years of worship, no matter how great the friendship is, no matter how great the friendship is, no matter how great the kindness is returned, people's hearts, they will change, I have been here for so long, I have long understood this truth. β
The woman said yes again and again, but asked strangely: "But uncle, what if he agrees to the Li family's solicitation on his nineteenth birthday?
Lin Xiong laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, I know him too well, and I came out to mix, and I changed my heart in this big dye vat, but he is equivalent to a martial arts idiot otaku who has never been out of society and has seen the market, I know him too well, and when the time comes, I will prevaricate with a reason, don't worry about what he thinks, when the time comes, I really agree, I guess I can also rise to the top, hahaha......"
Hao Qi left silently, on the way back to campus, he was silent, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, neither anger, nor sadness, not despair, if he really had to say it, it was probably sadness, a kind of sadness that the reality infected the ideal.
"Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable......"
Hao Qi silently read this poem that he had read on the earth, but he had some affirmation of Lin Xiong's thoughts in his heart, after all, after so many years of vain worship, and there is no end in sight, no hope, only a so-called talent to practice a set of garbage and non-flow boxing techniques to Dacheng, which is enough for any investor to abandon him, even if it is a so-called brother......
And the black is indeed a big dye vat, even if Lin Xiong did treat him as a brother before he mixed the black, but after seeing the darkness of this world, dirty, and people's worries about me, Lin Xiong was able to worship him for so many years, even if it was for the sake of seeing his future achievements, this was already very good, at least Lin Xiong didn't harm him in the end, but he couldn't see the hope of future development, and he made a realistic decision to give up.
"Kindness is kindness, all these years of worship, just exchange it for your wealth in the future......" Hao Qi had such a decision in his heart, his heart gradually calmed down, and with that cold sadness about reality, he went back to the university campus......
On the other side, when Hao Qi left the street for a long time, Lin Xiong in the room received a report from his younger brother, Hao Qi had already left, so he stopped the nonsense of the woman on the bed and began to smoke one by one.
The woman looked at Lin Xiong's expression, sighed in her heart, hugged Lin Xiong from behind and said, "I really don't know what's wrong with you, you have to play such a place, can't you even tell me?"
Lin Xiong smiled reluctantly, but didn't say anything, just took out a letter from under the bed, the letter was a stack of money, he handed the letter to the woman and said, "You are not my woman, and I am not your man, we ...... It's just a person struggling to survive, but you and I have some love, you take the money, don't come to see me again these days, don't tell anyone about this play, remember, no matter what happens, don't come to see me, it's better to say more bad things about me to your sisters these days, talk more about other benefactors or something...... Let's go, don't come back. β
After all, the woman has also experienced many things, her face suddenly turned pale, and she asked in the same language: "Yes, is there something big going on, is it not, have you offended some big person, answer me." β
"Get out!"
Lin Xiong didn't answer, but just slapped the woman's face, making the woman's face red and swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and the woman was stunned at once, Lin Xiong's eyes twitched, and finally hugged the woman, and whispered in her ear: "Remember my instructions, and ...... There may be no way to take you out of here, forget me, find a good man in the countryside to marry, this world is not suitable for a dream-chasing girl like you, in the city, in the capital, there is no dream of the upper class that you expect, that's not what we at the bottom should think...... Farewell, Akane. β
When the words fell, he gritted his teeth and slapped the other side of the woman's face, and at the same time shouted loudly: "You still dare to raise a little white face!? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu abolished you? Don't ask me who Lin Xiong is here? You actually dare to raise a little white face? Damn, Lao Tzu is just a ****, and someone dares to take advantage of me!?"
In this way, the sound was very loud and the fight was very loud, so that the little brothers of Lin Xiong outside the house rushed over, but this woman was also a chicken under the boss above, so they could only persuade here, and finally persuaded Lin Xiong to come down, and then the woman scolded and cried and cried, but everyone didn't pay attention, the woman's crying was not the kind of howling and fake crying, but the real sad cry......
Lin Xiong is very smart, Lin Xiong is very keen, Hao Qi has commented on him, he is similar to a mouse on a sea ship, before the ship sinks, he must be the first to know, and the first to leave the ship, so he has changed several bosses, here he is like a fish in water, but ...... What if it wasn't just a shipwreck, but a tsunami that made the sea angry......
What will happen to this rat who has no escape......
What do you think......
That's how it is......
Lin Xiong sat at the head of the bed, smoking one by one, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were dripping down one by one......
