The Last Mecha

Chapter 47

Wu Gou sat on the rock and panted heavily, his whole body was so sore that he wanted to peel off his flesh. He punched this chopping fist intermittently for two hours, a total of five rounds, with an average distance of about a hundred steps per round. .

If it wasn't for his physical inability to keep up, he would need to rest for a while after each round, and he only needed an hour and a half.

This level is not considered great, and it can even be said to be average, but after all, it is only the first day, and it cannot be so urgent.

But Wu Gou could also clearly feel that his body felt different after the last two rounds, the sense of blockage was much less, coupled with the boxing principles he brought in his previous life, the roundness between his hands and feet Yi suddenly increased.

The so-called Piquan, in terms of explosion, it is inferior to the two forms of collapse and cannon, and in terms of dexterity, it is also inferior to drill and horizontal.The nature of this boxing is simple, and what is emphasized is a "pressing" strength. The epee has no front, no skill, no matter how hard it is, the opponent cannot escape with that strong strength.

A slap by a master hand can make people stuck in the ground like a nail for a long time.

There are masters in the martial arts who strive for fame and self-competition. Regarding Xingyimen, many people will say that they can skillfully solve Paoquan Bengquan-of course, Jiang Mulin's Bengquan is not counted, that thing is not the same thing as ordinary people practice.

But on top of that, there are almost no people who dare to claim to be able to deftly untie the fist, because that would only be a joke, everyone knows that the punch is too powerful, you can avoid it if you touch it head-on, and you can't untie it.

This is also the reason why Five Elements Boxing often starts from splitting fists. What beginners want is the strongest fist. This is what Wu Gou urgently needs now. Fighting only depends on experience and is not reliable.

If someone who is really new to Xingyiquan came to learn this set of chopping boxing, he could beat it once a day, and he would have to praise him for his talent if he knocked out this whole set of boxing for twenty steps. In such a comparison, Wu Gou reckoned that his idea of ​​a two-week leap was not a fantasy.

Martial arts practitioners need to be relaxed. He felt that he had practiced to the end of the day, so he immediately put on his wet shirt, ate a big meal of fish and rice at the Puluo Restaurant, and went to the Tiger Stove to take a hot bath. He felt comfortable all over.

When he was dressed in dry clothes and ready to go home comfortably, he saw that the eyes of the neighbors on Huaining Street seemed to be not quite right, and they all had smiles that were eager to wear.

He came back too late last night and got up late in the morning. This was the first time he saw the neighbors in two days. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of anything he had done that was worthy of this look.

"Wu Gou, do you remember me? I, Zhang Sanliu, on the same street, sell groceries now."

While thinking to himself, a short and thin man with a pointed face rushed forward in a mended blue shirt. His two long front teeth made him smile like an old rabbit.

I saw Zhang Sanliu waved his hand and said: "Well, I just bought some good air-dried meat, the beef from the Western Regions, it is fragrant, crunchy! Would you like to come to my house for a sit down?"

"No, I have something else to do."

Wu Gou said subconsciously, wondering what was wrong with this person in his mind, and Zhang Sanliu who was rejected was not unhappy at all, just stood there with a smile and rubbed his hands.

Before he could take another two steps, another woman's voice came from beside him, "Wu Gou, I'm Xiaohui's mother, it's not that there are too many chives planted in the yard, bring some for your family to taste. It's okay." , If you plant it yourself, just water it, no trouble.”

"I can't ask you to go back. Our family is not that kind of person." The woman in the gray skirt didn't forget to explain again at the end, for fear that Wu Gou would not want it.

Wu Gou thought for a while, and remembered that Xiaohui was his childhood playmate whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.

The civilians in Jiangsong are living very tight these days. If they really want more vegetables than they can eat, they can't wait to go to the vegetable market to find wholesalers to sell them. A few copper coins are not too much.But the woman in front of her obviously hoped that she could accept it more than the money.

And he is just a child, what is he planning?

After hesitating for a while, he still didn't answer. After all, uncomfortable things happened before, so there's no need to make yourself unhappy.

The woman was not discouraged either, but she just dawdled her lips for a while and then continued: "Master Liu from Watson & Co., doesn't he have a good relationship with you? We played together until we grew up, didn't we?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Gou suddenly realized that there were too many things going on these few days, and he even forgot the terrifying battle that Liu Shuying came to see him that day.

In the eyes of Jiang Song's common people, that kind of person seems to be a person who can't be flattered all his life. He has to lower his head for fear of bumping into his eyes when he walks. .

This was the first time Wu Gou felt that the journey home on Huaining Street was so long, and all the familiar and unfamiliar faces appeared, those who chatted about homework, those who delivered food and cigarettes, those who shed tears when they talked about the past, the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. I want to impress him a little bit.

"Yo, the big celebrity is back? Receive these good things?"

Wu Jingting got off work very early today, her face was rosy, and she felt relaxed after shedding her psychological burden. She looked at Wu Gou who kept taking out small things from her pocket.

"I confiscated it. It was stuffed by too many people. I didn't see who gave it to me. Why bother?" Wu Gou took a deep breath and placed two round tomatoes on the table, "Here, add dinner tonight." No need to thank me."

"I dare say that most people follow suit. Seeing others give it away, they squeeze out a little bit from the dinner, who knows what's the use." Wu Jingting said with a smile, shaking the teacup with boiled water in her hand , "Okay, there are many happy events in the Wu family today."

"A happy event? Two vegetables are not a happy event, so what else?" Wu Gou asked.

"And your good brother Wu Yong, as soon as he came back today, he proudly told me that he beat the two children of Zhang's tailor, and what he said was that he was knocked down with one move. He was so terrible. Now, I know how to brag. But I checked, and there is really no injury on his body."

As Wu Jingting was speaking, she suddenly approached Wu Gou in two or three steps, and whispered as if she was about to grab his ear, "You bastard, did you secretly teach Yong something? How can I interrogate him? No." Say', the little idiot just said 'I don't know'. By the way, where did you learn that trick? Can there be such a thing in the bookstall of the Western Market? I will go and see it some other day."

Wu Gou also smiled, hooked his index finger to signal the eldest sister's ear to come closer, and then said softly, "Don't tell anyone, I'm only telling you—"

"It's a mistake."

He left behind the words "I don't know the so-called" and immediately turned around and ran away, leaving the elder sister standing there alone, wondering if he was uneducated.

"Yong, come here. Hey, don't look like you want to show off to me, I've heard what my sister said." Wu Gou found his younger brother who had won the battle in the courtyard, and grabbed his shoulder, his face full of tears. Seriously, "Did you listen to me? You didn't do anything after you knocked him down?"

"Well, I'm not cheating!" Wu Yong nodded seriously.

"That's good. After that, you should keep an eye on it and be careful yourself. Looking at the tailor's reaction, this person has a stubborn temper at first glance. If his child loses, he probably won't be able to embarrass himself and bully you, so he will let them fight back. But After losing too much, maybe he will want to trouble our family, then you can go to the street magistrate and say hiss, wait—”

Wu Gou rolled his eyes, and suddenly changed his words, "If within ten days, if he makes trouble, you can do as I said before. If he makes moves after ten days, you can tell him to come to me. Say that I taught you what you are capable of."

He reckoned that after more than a week, his chopping skills would improve enough for actual combat. It happened that the tailor was a trainer. If it was too late, he could come and practice with himself to verify the results.
