Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 277 Cuju, the national football team

On this day, Ma Ji and his party sailed to Changzhou.

When we were about to set sail in the early morning, a person suddenly shouted loudly on the shore: "The boatman, please wait a moment. Can you give me a ride?"

Ma Ji, who was admiring the scenery on the river on the deck, looked up and saw a tall young man in his twenties standing on the shore. He was dressed in a strong suit and a large cloak as a warrior, with a bulging leather bag slung across his back.

The boatman first looked at Ma Ji on the side, and then responded loudly towards the shore: "The boat is chartered by this gentleman, I'm afraid it won't be convenient for others!"

Although the ship was not his decision at the moment, he still wanted to earn more money by carrying one more person, so there was an implicit hint in his words.

The young man turned to Ma Ji and cupped his hands and said, "Wang Shixiu is taking part in the martial arts competition in Xialuzhou. I wonder if it might be convenient for you, Master?"

Ma Ji heard that this man was a martial arts scholar, and saw that he had extraordinary bearing, so he nodded and said, "I'm going to raise my son in Hangzhou, Ma Ji. As the saying goes, 'It's convenient for others, it's convenient for you.' Mr. Wang, wait a moment."

Then he ordered the boatman to set up a springboard to lead the other party on board.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Ma!" Wang Shixiu was overjoyed and thanked him on the shore before stepping onto the gangplank.

Ma Ji was very sympathetic, so he changed the subject and said, "My ship is going to Yingtian. You can go there and transfer back to Luzhou."

When his feet landed on the springboard, the thick wooden board immediately creaked and sank.

Ma Ji said a few polite words and then asked the boatman to arrange accommodation for the other party.

Wang Shixiu had already negotiated with the boatman and paid for the boat in the cabin. When he heard Ma Ji talk about it, he immediately thanked him again.

In Hangzhou alone, there are three workshops that are famous for making Ju balls and have formed exclusive brands, and there are also seven or eight large-scale Ju clubs that make profits from performances and competitions.

Ma Ji had extraordinary eyesight. Seeing that Wang Shixiu's body weight was only 1,670 kilograms, but the curvature of the springboard showed that he could bear a weight of no less than 400 kilograms, his eyes glanced at the skin bag behind him.

Cuju play has existed since ancient times, and it is still popular in Dayu today.

When the passenger ship left the shore and continued its journey, Wang Shixiu came out of the cabin and met Ma Ji again on the deck.

A look of sadness appeared on Wang Shixiu's face: "Three years ago, my father fell into the water while crossing the Qiantang River and disappeared. To this day, no one is alive or dead, and no body is found. Although most of the time, there is no chance of death, but I will still go to the place where he fell into the water to look for him once a year."

Ma Ji asked about the other party's behavior.

Ma Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "You can have fun yourself, just be careful not to fall into the water."

The two of them were talking in the alley when they heard a burst of laughter in the cabin. Jiao Na, Ruoxue, Ruomei, and Zhan Chun walked onto the deck laughing and joking. Jiao Na, the leader, held a rather exquisitely made ball in her hand and asked. Ma Ji raised his hand and said: "Master, we are going to play Cuju, will you come too?"

The little girl Jiao Na loved Cuju the most. When she was in Hangzhou, she often went to watch Cuju performances and competitions, and she also attracted Ruoxue and Ruomei to become fans.

Wang Shixiu walked gracefully onto the deck and greeted Ma Ji.

Afterwards, the two of them chatted on the deck. After talking for a long time, Wang Shixiu was greatly impressed by Ma Ji's knowledge and knowledge. Ma Ji also found out that this martial arts scholar had some real talents. Not only did he reach the seventh level of martial arts, The pinnacle of the realm of bone forging is also quite insightful in the history of the art of war.

The four kids agreed and started playing on the deck.

They played "for nothing" and took turns to get off the court and use their heads, shoulders, backs, knees, feet and other body parts to catch and top the ball, making various difficult movements without the ball falling to the ground.

After Ma Ji noticed the four little guys playing Cuju, Wang Shixiu seemed a little absent-minded. From time to time, he looked at the ball flying up and down in the air, and his toes were ready to move. Discovering that the other side was also a fan, Ma Ji couldn't help but laugh, and stopped talking to watch the four boys playing with Wang Shixiu.

Among the four, Jiao Na is the most skilled and the most proficient in the art of jutsu, and she can make flowers out of a juju ball.

With the rise and fall of the two small lotus feet, the ball suddenly moved forward and backward, left and right. No matter how it flew and changed, it never landed on the deck.

Ruoxue and Ruomei have a solid foundation in martial arts, and they have played Cuju with Jiao Na for many days. Although they are quite satisfactory and not very exciting, they are both calm and leisurely.

Zhan Chun was born in a poor family. Not only had he never played Cuju, he had never even watched it a few times. He was a complete novice who was just learning to play Cuju, so he was inevitably a little nervous and confused.

Suddenly, when he kicked out, the angle was slightly off and the force was strong. The ball immediately flew sideways and was about to fly over the side of the ship.

With the abilities of Jiao Na and Zhan Chun, they can easily prevent the ball from falling into the water.

But they all remembered Ma Ji's instructions not to show their extraordinary skills in front of others easily, so they could only watch the ball fly out of the ship's side with regret.

Suddenly, a long leg popped out of the side of the ship, and with a slight hook in front of his foot, he hooked the ball back.

Then he raised his foot upwards and gently lifted the ball by more than a foot. When it fell, he lightly tapped it with the arch of his foot and sent the ball back to Zhan Chun.

Zhan Chun didn't dare to catch the ball with his feet anymore, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to hold the ball in his arms.

"What a 'dragon wagging its tail'!" Jiao Na, a connoisseur of goods, immediately applauded, and then asked Wang Shixiu who came to the rescue, "I wonder if this young master recognizes the name of Luzhou's Meteor Club?" Wang Zhangwen and Wang Guoqian's feet determine the world?"

Wang Shixiu's originally cheerful face turned a little sad, and replied: "I don't dare to praise you so highly as a young lady. Mr. Wang is my father."

Jiao Na was immediately excited. She grabbed the ball held by Zhan Chun and ran forward. She said excitedly: "Twenty years ago, Wang Guoqian defeated the northern barbarian faction in the capital with his 'Meteor Gui', which can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps." The Cuju master who came to Dayu to provoke him was given the reputation of "one kick that can determine the world", and the world also respected him as the "national footballer". As the saying goes, "a tiger father has no dog son", I wonder if Mr. Wang can show some tricks to let the little girl start. An eye-opener?”

With that said, he sent the ball to Wang Shixiu.

Wang Shixiu was really moved, but he was worried that it would be a little abrupt, so he turned to look at Ma Ji.

Ma Ji smiled and said: "This girl is most obsessed with Cuju. Since Mr. Wang is a master of this art, if he doesn't have any taboos, he might as well give her some advice."

Wang Shixiu said with a smile: "Cuju is meant for everyone to watch, so what's the taboo? It would be embarrassing for me."

After that, he took off his outer cloak and came to the center of the deck.

The four children all stepped aside and watched with wide eyes and interest.

The expert's "feet" is indeed extraordinary.

The Cuju looked completely different under Wang Shixiu's feet, but it bounced and danced as if it were alive. Sometimes it could even spin and fly around the body at extremely high speeds.

When the boat was full of fun, a water bird suddenly passed by above the boat.

Wang Shixiu shouted: "Meteor Gui!"

With one kick, the ball flew like a meteor, straight up into the sky more than ten feet, and like a cannonball, it blasted the feathers of the water bird flying past at high speed, and then fell down together with the ball.
