Martial Arts Song

Chapter 285: Jiang Ying
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Accompanied by three muffled sounds.

In just a few seconds, the three young thugs were lying on the ground, groaning in pain.

For Chen Qing today, dealing with the three young hooligans was effortless. He only needed to punch each of them once to make the three of them vomit bile and fall to the ground for a long time without being able to get up.

After dealing with the three hooligans, Chen Qing didn't even look at the three people on the ground and walked towards the thin boy in the corner.

As he walked, he asked calmly, "What's your name?"

When Chen Qing opened his mouth to ask, the boy who had been forced into the corner and blackmailed and bullied, stared blankly at Chen Qing who was walking towards him. There was a look of astonishment and fear in his eyes.

When Chen Qing got close to a certain distance, he subconsciously began to retreat.

But unfortunately, there was already a corner behind him and he had no way to retreat.

However, now that Chen Qing's [God] value has increased to 3, his observation ability has also become much sharper. When the other party subconsciously retreated, he noticed it at the first moment.

So he stopped moving and kept the two sides at a certain distance.

Seeing that Chen Qing did not come any closer, the young man who retreated to the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he timidly replied: "My name...my name is Jiang Ying."

"Jiang Ying?"

When Chen Qing heard the name, his brows slightly frowned.

Afterwards, he carefully looked the boy up and down again, and then, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you a girl?"

The "boy" who retreated to the corner lowered his head and said nothing when he heard this.

This is obviously the default.

Seeing this, Chen Qing's slightly frowned brows deepened.

But after a moment, it stretched out again.

"pretty good."

After praising the name to the utmost, Chen Qing turned around and walked out of the alley.

The reason he took action this time was because he saw a familiar scene and thought of his past self.

In addition, Bai Yingsheng had once asked him to recruit some disciples for the White Tiger Hall as soon as possible to continue the incense, so after knocking down the three young hooligans, he asked for their names.

But I didn’t expect that this “boy” would actually be a “girl”.

It's not that he is gender-discriminatory.

But his current situation is not very good.

Three years have passed, half of which has already passed. In two and a half years, he will have to face Lu Tianyuan, the crazy and critical senior brother.

In addition to Chen Yang’s matter, Liuying and Yangguo are both looking for their family.

The so-called "accept my laws and bear my consequences."

What He Xihong said at the time was absolutely correct.

In his current situation, although accepting a disciple could bring opportunities to the other party, it would bring more troubles.

It's not so bad for men. In this era, being born a man and not being able to make a name for yourself is worse than being dead. Most people hold the idea that "life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God."

Furthermore, before teaching the method of breaking limits, Chen Qing will also explain the pros and cons.

But in this era, most women don’t have the idea of ​​making a name for themselves, and are more concerned about finding a good husband in the future.

In this case, when accepting male apprentices, most people would think that this is an opportunity, practice boxing seriously, and change their destiny!
But if you accept female disciples, first of all, the physical differences between men and women will make female disciples put more effort than male disciples to achieve the same effect.

Secondly, differences in ideas and concepts will also cause female apprentices to not take practicing boxing seriously, thus wasting each other's time.

Finally, Chen Qing’s own situation is likely to harm the other party in the future.

Taking all these factors into consideration, this is the reason why Chen Qing turned around and left.

However, just as Chen Qing turned around and walked out of the alley, he had only taken a few steps when suddenly -

"Um... could you please teach me?"

A timid voice came from behind.

Chen Qing's steps paused slightly, and then he stopped.

He turned around and looked at the thin figure behind him again, and found that the other person had walked out from the corner and was looking up at him.

Although her face was red from being beaten by the gangsters, with faint finger marks on it, and there was still timidity in her eyes, but this time, facing Chen Qing's gaze, the girl named "Jiang Ying" did not avoid it at all.

Chen Qing stared at the other person for a moment, then asked, "What should I teach you?"

Jiang Ying, who was wearing a patched short-sleeved shirt, long pants, cloth shoes, and had short hair that reached her ears, and was still a little dirty, said with bright eyes after hearing this, without hesitation: "Just when you knocked them down!"

Chen Qing heard this and narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Do you know what you need to know first to learn Kung Fu?"

After hearing this, Jiang Ying's bright eyes quickly dimmed, and her head slowly dropped down. She whispered, "Pay tuition? I... I don't have any money..."

"wrong."

Chen Qing interrupted him and said coldly: "If you want to learn Kung Fu, you must first learn how to be ruthless!"

After saying that, his eyes swept across the alley and finally stopped at a wall in the alley. A shoe box had already fallen off Jiang Ying and turned sideways to the ground, spilling out brushes, shoe polish, nails, hammers and other tools.

Then, Chen Qing walked over to the overturned shoe box, squatted down, and picked up the hammer from among the scattered tools.

Then, Chen Qing walked back to Jiang Ying. As Jiang Ying looked up at him again in astonishment after hearing what he had just said, he handed the hammer to Jiang Ying and said calmly, "Take it and smash the heads of these three people. I'll hire you if you can do it."

After hearing what Chen Qing said, Jiang Ying, who was already stunned, became even more stunned.

At the same time, a look of hesitation appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Chen Qing stopped wasting words and prepared to leave again.

But when he handed over the hammer and was about to put it down, suddenly, Jiang Ying raised her hand and held up his falling wrist.

Then, in Chen Qing's surprised eyes, the hesitation on the girl's face disappeared, and was replaced by a determined look!

Jiang Ying held Chen Qing's wrist with his left hand and took the hammer from Chen Qing with his right hand.

Then, without hesitation, she walked straight towards the middle of the alley, where three young men were still lying on the ground, convulsing and groaning.

The three young men heard the entire conversation between the two.

When they heard Chen Qing asking Jiang Ying to smash their heads with a hammer, they wanted to get up and run away.

But unfortunately, Chen Qing's punching power is not something that ordinary people can withstand.

The three of them still felt the cramping pain in their internal organs. The pain spread throughout their bodies. They could only feel better if they curled up. Once they stretched their limbs, the severe pain from their internal organs would be unbearable! Therefore, let alone getting up and running away, they could hardly even stand up!
But seeing Jiang Ying walking towards them with a hammer in his hand and a determined look in his eyes, they could no longer care about the cramps and pains and could only endure the pain and get up.

However, the severe pain made their movements difficult and slow. Before they could stand up completely, Jiang Ying had already come to them with a hammer.

"Rare..."

The words of begging for mercy had to be uttered with difficulty by the person in charge.

But Jiang Ying did not give the other party a chance.

She raised the hammer in her hand and smashed it towards the other person's head with a firm and resolute look!

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

The person who was hit had just stood up with great difficulty, but was immediately knocked to the ground again.

At the same time, blood immediately flowed from his smashed head, staining his head and face red.

Seeing the bright red blood, Jiang Ying couldn't help but pause for a moment.

But then, she gritted her teeth and walked towards the other two people fiercely.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two muffled sounds were heard in succession.

The other two young men who struggled to get up and were about to escape were smashed on the head by Jiang Ying with a hammer, and fell to the ground with blood on their heads and faces.

After smashing the heads of three people, Jiang Ying raised the bloody hammer and turned to look at Chen Qing. She looked dazed and her breathing became rapid. She asked, "Are you... gonna smash more?"

Hearing her words, the three young thugs who were knocked to the ground, although dizzy and with blood all over their faces, still crawled towards the outside of the alley without stopping for a moment, shouting for help in hoarse voices.

Chen Qing, who witnessed the whole scene, looked at Jiang Ying, whose face was splashed with some blood, with undisguised surprise in his eyes.

This girl named Jiang Ying is more decisive than he thought.

Moreover, he is also ruthless.

He really admired this kind of character.

After a moment's thought, he asked, "How old are you?"

"I'm fourteen..."

Jiang Ying looked dazed and responded mechanically.

Obviously, despite her strong determination and ruthlessness, it was still the first time for a fourteen-year-old girl to smash someone's head with a hammer, and three people at a time.

This matter is still a little too much for me to bear psychologically.

Jiang Ying is now in a daze.

"Fourteen……"

When Chen Qing heard Jiang Ying's answer, he frowned again.

The other person was also younger than he thought.

He had previously seen that the man was about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a short shirt, long pants, and cloth shoes, just like most of the lower-class young men of that era. He had thought that the man was at least 16 or 17 years old, and only looked thin due to malnutrition.

The other person's hair was at ear level, a bit long for a boy, but it was normal for young men from the lower classes of that era to have such long hair without trimming it, so he didn't think much about it.

But now that he knows the other person's gender, he realizes that apart from dressing like a boy, he actually has feminine characteristics in other areas. It's just that he had a preconceived notion that he was a boy.

If a fourteen-year-old's parents are tall enough, it is normal for him to grow to 1.6 meters, because girls usually develop earlier than boys, and many of them have their height determined at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

Of course, Chen Qing didn't worry too much about the other person's age.

Since the words have been said and the other party has done it, he will naturally keep his promise.

"No need to smash it. Even though the three of them bullied you, they didn't kill you. It's enough to teach them a lesson. If you smash them to death, you will be arrested by the police station and go to jail."

After saying something lightly, asking Jiang Ying to stop smashing, Chen Qing also came in front of Jiang Ying and took the bloody hammer from the other's hand.

Then, he came to the tool box where the blood was spilled again, picked up the rag inside and wiped the blood off the hammer, then picked up the spilled tools one by one and put them back into the tool box, and finally closed the lid.

Then, he picked up the shoe box, walked over to Jiang Ying, put it on his shoulder again, and said with a smile: "Let's leave here first."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the alley.

The three thugs on the ground, whose heads were bleeding from being hit by hammers, were so scared that they huddled up with their heads in their hands when Chen Qing walked past them.

But Chen Qing didn't even look at them.

After hearing what Chen Qing said, Jiang Ying gradually recovered from her dazed expression.

After seeing Chen Qing leaving the alley, she hurriedly held the shoe box with one hand, grabbed the shoulder strap with the other, and trotted after Chen Qing.

After the two men left the alley, the three young thugs on the ground finally breathed a sigh of relief.

……

"I've been taking walks along the riverside of Chenhang at this time every day lately. You can come and see me at this time."

After leaving the alley, Chen Qing walked along one end of "Jiangyue Road".

As he walked, he said to Jiang Ying who followed him, "I will teach you a set of kung fu training methods first. When you can practice for half a month and get some results, I will officially accept you as my disciple. But if you can't get any results, it means that you are not talented enough, or you didn't practice kung fu strictly according to my instructions. Then our relationship as master and disciple will end after half a month. Do you understand?"

Although he agreed to accept the other party as his disciple, it was impossible for Chen Qing to just look at the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the person and then teach him everything he knew.

He also needs to examine the other person's character.

And it just so happened that he could make use of the next half month.

As for how to assess the other person's character, he has no specific idea yet, but people are ghosts, and he will definitely be able to see something after half a month of contact. It will not be too late to think about it when the time comes.

"……Understood."

Jiang Ying, who was following behind Chen Qing, regained his previous timid appearance, responded in an inaudible voice, and nodded imperceptibly.

Seeing her like this, Chen Qing thought for a moment, then suddenly reached into his pocket, took out several hundred yuan of banknotes he carried with him, took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Jiang Ying, saying, "Use these two hundred yuan to buy a few better clothes. You look like a beggar. If someone sees you, they'll think I took a beggar as my apprentice."

Looking at the two hundred yuan handed over by Chen Qing, Jiang Ying's eyes clearly revealed a hint of desire!
But in the end, she shook her head and refused: "I...I can't accept it!"

"Too little?"

Chen Qing raised his eyebrows and said.

Hearing this, Jiang Ying quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, no, two hundred yuan is a lot. It's enough for my family's living expenses for more than two months! But I can't accept this money. I've already asked you to teach me kung fu without paying tuition. If I accept this money again, it would be too shameless! Besides, I have good clothes, but I don't wear them when I go to work. I will wear them when I come to see you tomorrow. Master, please take this money back!"

At the end of her words, she used both hands to push back Chen Qing's hand that was handing over the money.
