Starting from the lifting of human restrictions

Chapter 36 Xiahou
Li Ji self-service side stove.

The steaming hot copper stove, the soup base with fish bones and shrimp heads, large pieces of mutton, squid slices, raw shrimp slices, dace balls and oysters tossing in the boiler, green vegetables are put into the pot, and after they are cooked, they are quickly eaten by others. Pick up.

"Oh, let it go, let it go!"

Yutou Xu held five or six plates of fish fillets and vegetables in each of his left and right hands, and while shouting at the passing crowd, he walked cautiously towards a seat in the store by the roadside window.

"Enough is enough, Brother Xu, there is already a lot."

When Xia Houwu saw Yutou Xu returning to the table again, he quickly stood up, helped to take plates of vegetables, put them on the table, and then greeted Yutou Xu to take a seat, "Brother Xu, sit down, you are too enthusiastic. Now, it's really embarrassing to make me a guest."

"Eating at the same table is a rare fate for everyone."

Yutou Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and grinned at Xiahouwu again, pointing to Yang Chu who hardly stopped from beginning to end, "I'll go get a few more dishes, with Chu Zai here, Don't worry about not finishing it."

Xia Houwu looked at Yang Chu, who seemed to be sitting at the table after entering this self-service hot pot restaurant, eating without stopping, and then saw a few shop assistants pointing at them in front of the counter in the distance. Catching up with Yutou Xu, he smiled and said, "Brother Xu, I'll be with you."

The two brought back four or five plates of vegetables and meat each. The fish head Xu brought back two plates less, but this time they didn't get up again, but sat down together and moved their chopsticks to cook the meat and vegetables. .

This is the fifth round, Yutou Xu rinsed a few pieces of green vegetables and slowly drank tea.

Xia Houwu ate several plates of meat and vegetables in succession, exhaled lightly, and put down his chopsticks.

"Drink some tea, Biluochun's tea in this shop is very authentic." Yutou Xu reached out and picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xia Houwu.

"Thank you."

Xia Houwu nodded in thanks, then looked at Yang Chu, who was sitting across from him, as long as he was familiar with him, he would stuff anything into his mouth, with a smile on his face, "Brother Yang Chu's appetite, um, is amazing."

Since entering this self-service hot pot restaurant, except for the first time that Yang Chu took a lot of meat dishes, he almost never left the table and ate it all the time.

Rao is a self-proclaimed martial artist with a large appetite, but the food he ate in this meal was less than a quarter of Yang Chu's.

"Don't be so vulgar, just call Chu Zai. Chu Zai's stomach has no bottom, so we came to eat the buffet." Yutou Xu shrugged, he was already taken aback by Yang Chu's appetite No wonder.

As for what the owners and clerks of this store think, Yutou Xu is too lazy to care. When he paid, he paid for the seat of four people, which is very conscientious and worthy of people.

"You can call me Chu Zi."

Yang Chu raised his head and said something, the chopsticks in his hand still kept going.

"Chu... I'll still be called A Chu..."

Xia Houwu paused for a while, then looked at Yang Chu, who bowed his head to cook his meat freely, still wearing that seemingly restrained and harmless smile on his face.

During these two encounters, Xiahouwu could probably see that Yutou Xu was a kind-hearted person who didn't have much in his heart.But Yang Chu and Xia Houwu felt that he could not see through.

If it is said that Yang Chu has practiced martial arts, no one can find the slightest trace of his kung fu in Yang Chu.You must know that all martial artists, no matter which one they train in, have traces of years of hard work to be found.

Moreover, Yang Chu's observation was keen. He was a warrior at a glance when he took a ride that day, and today, after he beat Shark in martial arts, Yang Chu caught up to look at him with that kind of look, that kind of attitude—

Xiahouwu is very familiar with it, and it is a fanatical about kung fu.

The two drank a pot of tea, and Yang Chu swept away all the food on the table before putting down his chopsticks.

"Let's go, Chu Zai, if you don't go, the boss will use a broom to drive people away." Yutou Xu saw that Yang Chu had finished eating, stood up and glanced at a middle-aged chubby woman standing in front of the counter, and rushed towards him with a smile. Yang Chu said.

Xia Houwu next to him also smiled, picked up the big backpack on the seat and stood up.

Yang Chu wiped his mouth with a tissue and followed the two of them out of the store, ignoring the surrounding eyes from beginning to end.

"The reincarnation of a starving ghost! My sister has opened a shop for so many years, and she has never seen such food."

The chunky female boss standing in front of the counter, after seeing the three of them leaving, immediately scolded, turned her head and saw a few shop assistants snickering beside her, and even became angry, "Stand there one by one. What are you doing? Playing as a zombie? Why don't you hurry up and restock."

Speaking of this, the pudgy female boss had another ache in her flesh. Yutou Xu said that they were more edible, and the three of them bought four seats. She also cursed at the foolishness in her heart and felt that she had earned it.

But this time, it was obviously a big loss.

……

After Li Ji's self-service stove, several people came to the nearby Kowloon Park under construction.

Xiahou Wu threw aside the huge backpack he was carrying, turned to look at Yang Chu next to him, and asked, "A-Chu, are you looking for me?"

"No, we just want to get to know a master like you." Seeing this, Yutou Xu stepped forward and wanted to make a joke.

"Brother Xu, don't worry, it's not what you think."

Yang Chu didn't back away this time, and put his left hand on Yutou Xu's shoulder, making him stand aside.

"Really... Really?" Yutou Xu asked Yang Chu not sure.

Yang Chu nodded lightly, looked at Xiahou Wu, and suddenly opened his hands, posing a gesture of the opponent's hands when he was fighting against the strong man with a big waist and a round waist.

"I want to ask you, what kind of kung fu is this?"

"Ok?"

Xia Houwu looked at Yang Chu's movements and raised his arm subconsciously, but seeing that Yang Chu did not do anything else, he asked him a question again, and then he frowned, "What else?"

When Yang Chu heard Xia Houwu's words, he moved his body back and forth, and performed several movements that the strong man with big shoulders and round waist had used.His body doesn't look strong, but the movements he makes give people a feeling of being as powerful as a mountain.

"This is Mongolian wrestling."

Xia Houwu looked at Yang Chu's movements, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Also called Boke, it is a martial art for close-quarters foot fighting in the ancient battlefield. A variety of wrestling and throwing skills, Manchu Buku evolved from Mongolian wrestling, and many wrestling styles also learn from Mongolian wrestling."

"Mongolian wrestling?"

Yang Chu stood up straight. He remembered the strong man he encountered. He had a round face and narrow eyes, a big shoulders and a round waist. He really had a traditional look.

"You really know him."

Yang Chu's eyes fell on Xiahouwu again, and his eyes seemed to be brilliance, "It seems that you have a deep research on martial arts or kung fu."

"Since I've practiced martial arts, I've captured the weapons of the inner family with fists and feet, and I think I know it all in my chest."

Xia Houwu no longer had the restrained and humble smile on his face, his tone and demeanor seemed to exude a strong confidence from the inside out.

"Then how do you break this Mongolian wrestling, or wrestling method?" Yang Chu asked curiously.

"This can't be generalized." Xiahouwu shook his head gently, "In fact, it's hard to tell the difference between martial arts and martial arts, and the restraint method is not absolute. It all depends on the person. But—"

Xia Houwu's face gradually took on the look he had when he competed with Shark En when he was in Union Dao. "If I'm going to crack it, it depends on the opponent's body size, strength, experience in battle, proficiency in skills, and timing—"

Saying that, Xia Houwu made a direct gesture.

"The lower part of the wrestling practice is heavy and the center of gravity is stable, but most of them have not learned to parry and block. This is a flaw, and you must know how to use it. If the opponent is strong and I am not strong enough, I can use guerrilla attacks, attack the lower plate, step on my feet, and kick my wrists. , Knee, but the foot should be quick and neat to prevent others from holding hands and feet. Or by means of grappling, when the opponent reaches out to catch, pull hair, poke wrist, break fingers, insert eyes, kick in the crotch. Or lie on the ground during boxing. The jiu-jitsu beating, attacking the key points of the lower body, dragging the ground and entanglement. And the best way is to use the wrestling to break the wrestling, and then integrate the kick, hit, fall, hold, roll, and fall into one.”

At the end, Xia Houwu stopped the movements of his hands, looked at Yang Chu and said, "In fact, it comes down to the root, but it still depends on the individual's physique, skills, experience, and willingness to fight.

The so-called one courage, two strengths and three kung fu, this courage is the nature of the heart. When encountering an enemy, one needs to be bold and fearless.The two powers are both clumsy and skillful.There is no need to say more about the three kung fu. The common saying of kung fu is that time, skills and means are all polished and familiar. "

After Yang Chu heard Xia Houwu's words, he stood there quietly, as if digesting what the other party said.

After a long time, he didn't say whether what Xiahou Wu said was useful, but asked abruptly, "Who are you going to challenge next? When? I'll go watch the battle."

"How do you know that I have to challenge others?" Xiahouwu raised his brows slightly, his eyes staring at Yang Chu, as sharp as knives.

"Shark's boxing gym opened today, you go to challenge, as he said, you want to be famous."

Yang Chu didn't hide the slightest bit, and simply said directly, "Also, since you are proficient in punching and grasping the weapons of the inner family, but you competed with Shark En today and only used fists, this is because the opponent is the champion of boxing, so you are going to challenge next. ——A leg? I remember Brother Xu telling me that there is still a recognized king of northern legs on Hong Kong Island.”

"Ha ha--"

Xia Houwu suddenly laughed, and the faint dagger-like aura on his body disappeared. He did not answer Yang Chu's call directly, but smiled at Yutou Xu, who was on the side, "Brother Xu, please leave me a call, I will Please have some tea if you have time!"

"Okay, don't you know, Chu Zai is really a boring gourd, he usually doesn't talk much."

Yutou Xu ran over excitedly and reported his landline number to Xiahouwu.

"Thank you Brother Xu and A Chu for your hospitality. I still have something to do. I have to leave first."

Xia Houwu repeated it, walked to the side and picked up the huge backpack on the ground, turned around again, smiled at Yang Chu, and walked out of the park.

However, the speed of the others was not fast, as if there was a low-pitched voice, "...Fist first, then legs and then grab, the internal weapons are five in one...shoulders and hips, elbows and knees, hands and hands. Foot fit, capture is dead, grab is alive, capture is successful, Fang Jin weapon, weapon is an extension of hands and feet, the so-called human and equipment are one... Yin and Yang, the inside and the outside are one qi..."

"Wow, he's really an expert! How do you say that sentence, she looks like a good woman, and she takes it like a tiger. Tsk tsk—"

Looking at the back of Xia Houwu leaving, Yutou Xu sighed, and suddenly noticed that Yang Chu was looking at him, and shouted strangely, "It's not what I said, when I entered martial arts when I was young, I listened to those old masters like this. Speaking of, that's what true masters are like."

Having said that, Yutouxu looked at Yang Chu next to him again, "Chu, where are you going now? You don't want to go to Shaeren's boxing gym to learn boxing, do you?"

"Go to the library."

Yang Chu's eyes were slightly erratic, as if he was still immersed in something.

Yutou Xu was not surprised by Yang Chu's state, and nodded: "That's right, I'll take you to the library, I'll go to the big brother's crew to see the new dragon and tiger martial artist, and see him. Are you skilled enough for you to be so sharp?"

"Brother Xu, thank you!"

Yang Chu reached out and patted Yutou Xu's shoulder lightly, and walked out of the park.

-

On a coastal road in Victoria Bay, a taxi slowly stopped.

Xia Houwu took off his large backpack from the trunk, turned around and came to the side of the road in front of a white Accord sedan that had been parked there for a long time.

"If you don't arrive in another 10 minutes, I'll leave."

In front of the white car, a man wearing a top hat and high-end clothes was standing, with a cigar in his mouth and a cane in his hand, looking at Xiahou Wu who came over with a displeased expression.

"Awaited."

Xia Houwu, carrying a huge backpack, walked to the middle-aged man on crutches, looked at Victoria Bay in the distance, and said something lightly.

"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore. When you blow the sea breeze, you should take a breath."

The middle-aged man on crutches saw Xiahouwu's calm expression, he seemed to want to have a seizure but endured it, and asked, "How is Aying?"

"She doesn't want me to come to Hong Kong Island."

Xiahouwu looked at the ships on Victoria Bay and the tall buildings on the opposite side, his voice still faint.

"A-ying's temperament is just like that of Master."

The well-dressed middle-aged man shook his head and said to Xiahou again, "By the way, today is a good day?"

After speaking, the man on crutches showed a dumb smile on his face again, and replied to himself, "I know what you look like. In front of you, what is the Hong Kong and Macau boxing champion. You have to be willing to fight for me and earn money. Enough for you to build ten one gates in Foshan."

Xiahou Wu looked into the distance, but did not respond to the words of the man on crutches.

"Okay, I'm running out of time, so I won't tell you this."

Seeing Xia Houwu's appearance, the man on crutches looked helpless, turned around and walked to the driver's seat of the Accord sedan, and knocked on the window glass.

A driver in the car immediately handed a data bag to the man on crutches.

"What you want."

The man on crutches walked over to Xia Houwu again, and threw the information bag to him, "It's almost a real expert on Hong Kong Island. It took me a lot of time to collect it all."

Xia Houwu stretched out his hand and took the information bag given by the middle-aged man in neat clothes. He didn't rush to open it, and still looked at the sea in the distance.

"After helping you this time, we'll clear things up."

Seeing that Xia Houwu didn't speak, the man on the abduction continued, "I will contact some media and newspapers to report on you. The scale is not large, but it is enough for you to accumulate fame. There are also high-level police officers you want, your fame. When you are old, you are qualified to be on the line."

After speaking, the man on crutches ignored Xia Houwu, opened the door and got into the car.

"drive!"

The white Accord car drove away along the road, leaving only Xia Houwu standing by the sea.

"Brother Xin, the person you met was the master who defeated Shark in the morning? Why didn't you recruit him into your hands?"

The car drove for a while, and the driver's younger brother asked with some doubts.

These people are engaged in underground boxing competitions and some semi-open fighting events. When they meet a master who can defeat the Hong Kong and Macau boxing champions, there is no reason to let it go so easily.

"Solicit?"

The man on crutches sitting in the back seat snorted softly, "It's almost like courting death."

"No, my new brother, wouldn't he want those materials as a competition? If it can be turned into a boxing match..."

The driver's younger brother obviously didn't understand it well. He had read the information just now. He had already seen it. Combined with Xiahouwu's defeat of Shark in the morning, he could probably guess that it might be for the opponent to challenge the competition.

If the competition of this level of masters can be turned into a boxing match, the benefits are simply unimaginable.

"Don't think about it, we can't afford to provoke people in different ways."

The man on crutches recalled the information he had collected, including a request for information from the Hong Kong Island Police to hire a martial arts combat instructor. He probably understood what Xiahouwu was going to take.

I don’t know if it’s a sigh or a pity, and you said something faintly, “This kind of person, with high martial arts skills, means and ambition, is also a different era. In ancient times or martial arts novels, they want to be the leader of the martial arts alliance and the number one in the world. ."
