I add points to my martial arts in the real world

Chapter 3 Youlong Baguazhang

After breakfast, Qian Dong brought two big hens that his mother bought from a neighbor's house early in the morning and took care of them early in the morning. After all, he was going to visit an old man. It was not appropriate to bring cigarettes and alcohol. Two old hens were worth a lot of money. It's not high, but it's a thoughtful gift. It's not appropriate to give a heavy gift to someone for the first time.

I drove to the door of Mr. Dong's house according to the location in my memory.

It has a small courtyard with green tiles and red bricks. There are a few willow trees planted on the edge of the pond in front. It is on the edge of the village, which makes it a bit more quiet. The courtyard is surrounded by a wall that is not too high, and the courtyard door is open.

Qian Dong parked the car at the edge of the yard, took the two chickens that he had prepared, and stood at the door of the yard when he saw an old man doing an inexplicable boxing technique in the yard, slowly.

"Hello, Grandpa Dong."

Qian Dong looked at Mr. Dong, he still looked the same as in his memory, but he looked a little older and a little frail. He wanted to wait for the old man to finish his greeting before saying hello, but the old man also saw Qian Dong, stopped his movements and looked at Come over.

"you are?"

Mr. Dong looked at Qian Dong with some doubts. He didn't come empty-handed. He was holding a plastic bag in his hand. He was obviously busy, but he was not impressed by Qian Dong, so he asked.

"Hello, Grandpa Dong, my name is Qian Dong, and I am Qian Yuanyou's grandson."

Qian Dong greeted him politely and said his grandfather's name. For this kind of old man, who is of the same generation as his grandfather, it is most effective to give his grandfather's name.

"Oh, brother Yuanyou's grandson, he's grown so big all of a sudden. I haven't seen him for so long and I really can't recognize him. Come on, come on in and sit down."

After hearing this, Mr. Dong suddenly understood, and then he became enthusiastic and invited him to sit in the room.

"Xiaodong, are you here this time?"

The two of them entered the house, and Mr. Dong poured a cup of tea for Qian Dong. After chatting for a while, Mr. Dong asked about the reason for his visit. As he said that he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason, he must have a purpose for coming to Qian Dong.

"Grandpa Dong, the main reason for coming here this time is to visit you, and then I also want to learn boxing skills from you."

Qian Dong had already given the gift before, and now that he had asked about it, he would not say more and explain his purpose directly.

"Oh? Do you want to learn boxing?"

Mr. Dong put away his smile, picked up the tea cup, and slowly began to drink tea while looking at Qian Dong's face.

He was very curious about Qian Dong's purpose. He had an accident some time ago and was stabbed 12 times. He had mixed reviews from outside, and no one had come to him to learn martial arts before. The meaning of coming here now was somewhat unclear.

"Yes, Grandpa Dong, I have always wanted to learn the martial arts spread in China. But before, I either studied or worked for a living. Over the years, I have never given up this idea. This time when I return to my hometown, I will stay for a long time, so I came here to learn from you."

Qian Dong stood up and stared at Mr. Dong seriously, speaking loudly, and bowed deeply after speaking.

"Hey, old man, I used to teach those little kids how to box. I also thought about letting people pass on my three-legged cat kung fu. Unfortunately, no one was willing to learn more. They all left as soon as they were old enough to go to school. I thought it wouldn't happen. There are people who are willing to come and learn martial arts, but I didn’t expect that after this incident, there are people who are willing to come and learn martial arts from me.”

Mr. Dong put down the tea cup and stared at Qian Dong for a long time to confirm that he was indeed here to learn martial arts. Then he sighed slightly and said mockingly to himself.

"Grandpa Dong, I studied martial arts for no other reason than to compete with others. I only wanted to strengthen my body and have a means of self-defense at critical moments. If Grandpa Dong needs me to become a disciple, that's no problem."

Qian Dong was afraid that Mr. Dong would dislike his age, so he continued speaking in a sincere tone.

"Well, if you are willing, you don't need to become a disciple, but if you are willing, it is no problem to teach you."

Mr. Dong looked at Qian Dong's appearance, put a smile on his face again, nodded and talked to Qian Dong.In fact, Qian Dong is indeed a bit older. If Qian Dong came here half a year ago, he might not have agreed. Now...

"Hey, just think of it for brother Yuanyou's sake."

Mr. Dong made an excuse for himself in his mind.

"Hmm, Grandpa Dong, do you have time now? You see, you are free now...hehe"

Seeing that the old man agreed, Qian Dong immediately changed his face. He was no longer serious as before. Instead, he smiled and walked up to Mr. Dong and asked in a low voice.

"Haha, you are really impatient, so come on."

Mr. Dong didn't care. Since he had accepted it, he no longer had to be so serious. Instead, he stood up with a smile and walked towards the backyard of the house with Qian Dong.

Qian Dong quickly followed and walked towards the backyard.

The backyard is not big, with a well, a big tree, and an open space under the big tree. It is not filled with practice equipment as Qian Dong imagined.

"Haha, I'm a little disappointed. There used to be all kinds of stakes and pillars here, but then I got older and no one was willing to come to study, so I just demolished those."

Mr. Dong looked at the backyard. When he saw Qian Dong's expression and the disappointment on his face, he knew what he was thinking, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"I won't explain anything to you. Let's be more direct. I'll hit it slowly first. You observe it carefully. I'll explain it to you later."

Mr. Dong was also a neat person. He came directly to the open space and started boxing.

The old man didn't move quickly, moving around in a small space. His movements were not strange, but they were very beautiful.

Qian Dong looked at it very carefully. Although he didn't remember anything after watching it, he became more and more looking forward to it.

"Do you know what I'm practicing?"

The old man was slightly out of breath after finishing the beating. It was obvious that the beating just now was not that easy for him now.

"I don't understand this very well, but I heard that you practiced Baguazhang when I was a kid. I think you just did it."

Qian Dong told the truth, there was no point in lying about this kind of thing. It was his first day coming into contact with this, so it was normal for him not to understand.

"Well, I practice traditional Baguazhang, also called Youlong Baguazhang. It focuses on one movement and dodge."

Mr. Dong explained patiently.

"Since we're talking about dodging and moving, how could you...?"

Qian Dong asked in a low voice. He was actually very curious about the old man being stabbed 12 times while saving someone. Logically speaking, although the old man was old, he shouldn't have been stabbed so many times when he went to subdue a young man.

It was not easy to ask questions in the previous chat, but now, I have become familiar with the old man’s explanation just now, and I can also take the opportunity to test the old man’s character, so he only said half of what he said. If the old man pretended not to hear or pretended not to listen, If he understands, he won't ask any more questions, which means that the old man loves face, so he will be right to hold on to it in the future.

If the old man accepts it calmly and explains it, it means that the old man is still very frank and informal, and he does not need to be so serious in the future.
