Chapter 323 Honghu Villa (4)

Twenty-seven years ago, in the southwest border, there was a small town called Xilingzhou.

Xiling Prefecture borders Rongguo. There are frequent conflicts between the military and civilians of the two countries. Big and small fights are constant, and hand-to-hand encounters are common.

Sometimes, Xiling Prefecture was invaded by soldiers from Rongguo, and sometimes the officers and soldiers in the town were unable to respond. At that time, in order to protect their homeland, the people of Xiling Prefecture often picked up their own weapons and went into battle to kill the enemy.

Over the years, although the people of Xiling Zhou were not soldiers, they had developed the skills to be soldiers because of years of war experience. They will learn the rules in the military camp and go to the school grounds or martial arts gyms to practice every day.

It's just that the Xilingzhou Military Camp School Ground is used by military officers. If ordinary people want to practice martial arts, they can either build a small martial arts dojo in their own yard, or go to a martial arts hall to study martial arts.

In the past, various large and small martial arts schools were popular in Xilingzhou. There were as many registered warriors as crucian carp crossing the river, and their martial arts culture was even worse.

Among these many martial arts schools, "Xiao Ping Martial Arts School" is the most popular.

In order to recruit more disciples, Xiao Ping Martial Arts School invited famous swordsmen and swordsmen in the world to teach. Not only that, Xiao Ping, the master of the martial arts gym, is also an expert with guns.

Many people came here to attend the Xiao Ping Martial Arts School. In the heyday of the Martial Arts School, it could be described as a crowded place.

"My mother is the daughter of the owner of the Xiao Ping Martial Arts School, and her name is the word 'Ling'." Wen Jisheng's plain voice drifted away with the breeze: "At that time, Jiang Yin was just a little-known handyman."

As he spoke, he sneered: "Who would have thought that the owner of Honghu Villa, who is now so famous, was just a thieving market scoundrel twenty-seven years ago!"

Ban Xiyu thought thoughtfully: "A rogue in the market?" Although she had only met Jiang Yin a few times, judging from his appearance and behavior, there was no trace of a "rogue in the market" at all.

From a small handyman to the owner of Honghu Villa, how did Jiang Yin climb up the ladder step by step?

"What is going on?" Ban Xiyu did not hide his confusion: "Being able to reach his current position from the grassroots in the market shows that he is not a simple person."

"He is indeed cunning. If not, how can he use the power of others to help him rise to the top?" Wen Jisheng said: "He is what he is today, all because of his ability to sneak into the camp..."

Many years ago, Jiangyin was not yet called "Jiangyin", but a handyman named "Zhuhe".

He often wanders around the streets and alleys of Xilingzhou. Today he does odd jobs here, and tomorrow he spends a whole day in the casino. After all the money he has is squandered, he will try his best to cheat and make some money.

That day, Zhu He still spent all his money wandering back and forth on the street. When he reached an intersection of streets and lanes, he suddenly heard a woman's cry for help coming from the lane.

Zhu He quickly chased after her and saw several strong men pulling a girl to do something inappropriate.

"In broad daylight, there is no such thing as a king's law!" Zhu He angrily shouted and rushed forward, using his hands and feet to punch and kick the strong men.

"Damn it, how dare you interfere in my uncle's affairs?!"

The strong man punched hard, and Zhu He was knocked back several steps. At the same time, the trapped woman screamed: "Hero, save me!——"

Zhu He turned his head and looked over, and immediately saw a somewhat familiar face. He thought and said hesitantly: "You, you are Xiao..."

Before he could finish his words, the strong man next to him punched him again: "You fucking thing, you still dare to run away? I think you are tired of living! Hit me, hit me hard, beat me to death." This troublesome guy!——"

While he was talking, several strong men rushed forward!

Zhu He was attacked by many people and received many blows on various parts of his body. He gritted his teeth, suddenly struggled violently, and then knocked away the strong man who rushed forward.

Then, he suddenly lowered his body, grabbed a handful of sand on the ground, and threw it into those people's faces without saying a word!

Several strong men screamed, and Zhu He started fighting with fists and kicks.

Those villains suffered a secret loss and were beaten violently, and they were immediately retreated. They knew they were outmatched, so they had no choice but to fight and retreat.

Before running away, they said harsh words: "Good boy, just wait for me! Don't ask me to catch you next time, otherwise, you will be dragged away without food!"

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

Zhu He lost all his strength and fell to the ground gasping for breath. At this time, the woman he rescued walked over quickly: "Strong man, are you okay?"

Zhu He looked up again and saw the woman's concerned and worried eyes. He immediately wiped his sweat and stood up and said:
"I'm fine, fine. They're just a few hooligans. I dismissed them casually. There's nothing else. As long as you're fine, Miss Xiao."

Xiao Ling: "Do you know him?"

"Who doesn't know about the daughter of Master Xiao?" Zhu He said, "It is my honor to be able to serve Miss Xiao!"

Xiao Ling smiled: "Then I should thank you. If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid something bad would have happened to me."

"When the road is rough, it's just a simple matter of saving you. Miss Xiao doesn't have to worry about it." Zhu He said: "But why is Miss Xiao here alone? And she met those people?"

"Well, it's a long story. I can't explain it in just a few words. In short, you saved me, and I should repay you. Tell me what you want, and my father will try his best to satisfy it."

"Look at what Miss Xiao said, you don't want to repay kindness, but don't say anything about not repaying anything in return." Zhu He said: "Since Miss Xiao has something to hide and doesn't want to say more, I won't force it -

"Let's do this. I'm a good person who will do my best. How about sending Miss Xiao home first? I'm afraid that the gang of thieves won't be far away at this moment. I'll accompany them all the way to protect the girl."

Xiao Ling naturally didn't say anything: "A strong man is willing to give me a ride, so there is no reason to refuse. Thank you very much for that."

Zhu He then sent the person back to Xiaoping Martial Arts School.

When he met Xiao Ping himself, Xiao Ling explained all the accidents that happened on the road.

When Xiao Ping met his daughter, he first scolded her that she shouldn't run around, otherwise she wouldn't meet the thief.

Xiao Ling retorted: "Dad can't keep me at home all day long. Even domestic animals have to go out for a breath of air, let alone humans. Besides, it's all dad's fault. He insists on asking me and him for no reason. When Wen Xiaozi met, I just...

"In short, it's all dad's fault. If dad had taught me martial arts earlier, would I still be at a disadvantage when I met those stinky gangsters today? I would have beaten them to pieces!"

"Girl, are you still reasonable?"

Xiao Ling: "Okay dad, don't lecture me anymore. Speaking of this, it's all thanks to this..." She turned around and asked:
"I forgot to ask your name just now. I wonder if you, warrior..."

Zhu He hurriedly replied: "The villain's surname is Zhu, and his name is the word "he". He has met Master Xiao." Master Xiao then looked directly at Zhu He: "Young man is very courageous, he is quite capable. What, you learned before "Exerting martial arts?"

Zhu He smiled and replied: "I have never learned it, I just figured it out on my own. A little Kung Fu of a three-legged cat cannot be put on the table. When it comes to serious Kung Fu, how can it be compared to Master Xiao?"

"To be honest, I have gone to the martial arts hall several times to see it. Master Xiao's martial arts skills are truly extraordinary, and I can't even match them!"

"So that's it." Master Xiao asked, "Do you also want to learn martial arts?"

"Of course I do. It's just that I'm short of money and I'm afraid I won't have the chance to study in a martial arts school," Zhu He said.

Xiao Ling said: "What's so difficult about this? Dad, since he is determined to learn martial arts, why not take him in as an apprentice in the house? When you are free, you can also let him help with odd jobs, and treat it as a disciple of Shu Xiu. How about it?" "

Xiao Ping: "Is this..."

Zhu Hedeng was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I know that I am stupid and not worthy of being Master Xiao's apprentice. If I can stay in the house and be a servant, Master Xiao can occasionally give me some advice." , the villain is also satisfied! Please do it, Master Xiao!”

Xiao Ling grabbed Master Xiao's arm and said, "Dad, look, everyone has said this, and you still don't agree? He saved your daughter's life. Is this how you treat your daughter's savior? "

Master Xiao pretended to be angry and glanced at her: "You are the only one who talks too much!" As he said that, he turned to look at Zhu He: "Little brother, since you saved my daughter, you can be regarded as my benefactor, Xiao Ping.

"In this case, wouldn't it be too rude to ask you to be a little handyman? Otherwise, if this matter spreads, how can I, Xiao Ping, behave as a human being?"

Zhu He has always been very judgmental about people's faces, so he immediately said:

"With a poor and humble body, how can the villain dare to damage the reputation of Master Xiao? Besides, the villain dare not claim to be Miss Xiao's savior. Otherwise, the villain would still be a handyman in the martial arts gym, only claiming to be the master of the gym. How about it, apprentice?”

Xiao Ling frowned slightly: "How can that be done? No matter how you say it..."

"What are you talking about? Are you the only one who has something to say?" Xiao Ping said: "I think this little brother's suggestion is very good, so let's do it!"

Xiao Ling: "But..."

"You're still here. It's all your fault. You don't reflect on yourself. You act like a girl all day long. Go back to the house!"

Xiao Ling was angry and went back to the house immediately, while Zhu He was left by Xiao Ping to talk in the yard.

"Best wishes, little brother, according to ethics, you cannot be my apprentice based on your qualifications. I think you know this very well in your heart." Xiao Ping said:

"Don't blame me for speaking outright. One code means the other. If you are kind to my Xiao family, I will naturally thank you.

"It's just that I have always had a set of rules for accepting disciples, and the rules cannot be broken. If the rules are broken, others will only think of me as Xiao Ping Martial Arts School, a place where anyone can come."

Facing the contempt in Xiao Ping's words, Zhu He never showed any dissatisfaction. He said: "The truth is that even a villain can save money. That's why the villain just said that he can just be a handyman in the martial arts gym. The villain doesn't dare to think about anything else."

Xiao Ping looked at him, nodded and said: "If you really think so, that is naturally the best." He looked at Zhu He and ordered: "Go down and change into clean clothes. From now on, you will be in the martial arts hall." Just stay."

Zhu He: "Yes! Thank you to the owner for taking me in. I am very grateful!"

……

Ban Xiyu heard this quietly and couldn't help but ask: "So your mother gradually fell in love with Jiang Yin after he entered the martial arts gym?"

Wen Jisheng nodded and said, "Yes."

He took Ban Xiyu to the back mountain. The two walked slowly along the winding path, and the soft rustling sounds came from the maple leaf forests on the left and right sides.

Wen Jisheng continued: "Perhaps there was a mutual love between them, but later on, I only heard resentment from my mother's mouth..."

……

When Zhu He first arrived at the Xiao Ping Martial Arts School, he was very diligent with his hands and feet, quick in doing things, diligent and serious in martial arts practice, plus he was good at talking and good-looking, and he quickly became mingled with the disciples in the Martial Arts School.

He and several of Xiao Ping's apprentices were brothers, and they often met to drink together and compete in martial arts.

During this time, Xiao Ping had been secretly observing him. Seeing that he was always honest and calm, never did anything weird, and was very diligent in martial arts, he gradually relaxed his vigilance.

Sometimes, when Xiao Ping sees Zhu He practicing martial arts, he will take the initiative to give some advice. So after a few months, he could learn a beautiful set of boxing skills by himself without the need for others to teach him carefully.

Later, Xiao Ping's eyes when he looked at Zhu He gradually changed from questioning and contempt to appreciation.

He seemed to really regard Zhu He as one of his own, treating him no differently from other disciples.

Therefore, one day later, when Zhu He knelt in front of Xiao Ping and expressed his feelings for Xiao Ling to him, Xiao Ping did not object immediately.

He just told Zhu He that he needed to think about it before deciding whether to betroth his daughter to him. Then, he pushed the person away and called Xiao Ling over alone.

Xiao Ping sighed and said helplessly: "Tell me about you, dad has found so many talented people for you, which one is not charming?
"You said that the young master of the Qian family only cares about money, is out running business all day long, and is worried about being alone in his maiden life after marriage, so if you reject him, then forget it;
"Then there is the second young master of the Zhao family and the young brother-in-law of the Li family in the north of the city... No matter how bad it is, Wen Wancheng and you can be considered childhood sweethearts. The two families know each other well. He is also interested in you, and you don't like him either."

As he said that, Xiao Ping became more and more puzzled: "Dad, I thought you had such high vision, why did you just fall in love with the most inconspicuous one? Do you want to make your father angry to death?"

Xiao Ling is no longer the little girl who easily quarreled with her father.

Seeing Xiao Ping's expression of hating that iron cannot become steel, she also sighed: "Okay, why am I angry with you? Don't worry, I'm not angry. I sincerely want to be with Zhu He."

She said: "You don't have to worry about finding a son-in-law for me. Emotional matters are all natural. There's no point in forcing me. At that time, my grandfather didn't agree with my mother being with you, but later Don’t you still have me?”

Xiao Ping almost blew his beard and glared: "Can these two things be the same? Back then, your father and I still had some wealth, but look, what does this kid Zhu He have? He doesn't even have a decent house. How will you live your life after you get married?"

Xiao Ling said nonchalantly: "Then let him marry me. What does it matter? I have told him about this and he is also willing."

Xiao Ping's eyes widened: "Okay, okay, you guys have made a private decision for life, right?"
