A Journey into the World of Movies

Chapter 2 Ip Man 2
Lin Yang thought for a while, and the more suitable movie should be Ip Man 2.

The opening scene of Ip Man 2 is 1950. Ip Man's family settled down in Hong Kong. Ip Man just arrived and lived a difficult life. Fortunately, his friend Liang Gen, who was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper at the time, helped him.Liang Gen lent the rooftop to Ip Man for teaching Wing Chun.It is a pity that Wing Chun is unheard of for Hong Kong people, and no one cares about it after many days of classes.

This made it easier for Lin Yang. As long as he paid some tuition fees, Ye Wen would definitely be willing to teach Wing Chun. There is no easier apprenticeship than this situation. At other times, it would be infinitely more difficult to learn authentic Kung Fu.

Lin Yang doesn't know kung fu now, and if he wants to use the fantasy travel system to go to the plane of Ip Man 2, he must consume a certain amount of energy and blood.Helpless, Lin Yang drank old hen red date soup for three days, spent his savings to buy two gold bracelets, and prepared a set of clothes from the Republic of China, which activated the fantasy time travel system.

A dazzling white light flashed, enveloping Lin Yang.In the next second, Lin Yang disappeared in place.

When Lin Yang opened his eyes, he suddenly found himself standing in a small alley.

Lin Yang walked out of the alley and came to a bustling commercial street.

Most of the buildings in the commercial street are low-rise bungalows, and the tallest building is only four stories high.Lin Yang looked at the pedestrians on the street. Most of them had yellow complexions and shabby clothes. They were obviously poor and malnourished.

Lin Yang found a pawnshop and pawned the gold bracelet.At this time, the value of gold is very high, and few people are willing to be gold.Lin Yang was afraid of pawnbrokers, so he said it in both English and Chinese. It was sad to say that at this time, although Hong Kong belonged to China in name, it was actually ruled by the United Kingdom.Seeing that Lin Yang could speak English, the shopkeeper of the pawn shop was afraid that he had something to do with foreigners, so he readily exchanged the actual value of the gold necklace for Lin Yang, and Lin Yang got 5000 Hong Kong dollars in exchange.

Although Lin Yang knew that Ye Wen was on the roof of Lianggen, he didn't know the exact location. Fortunately, there was a small advertisement for recruiting students on the wall in the downtown area, stating that it was No. [-], She Yonglong Street, Sham Shui, Kowloon.Lin Yang asked a few passers-by, and found the location smoothly.

It was morning at this time, the weather was fine, the roof was full of clothes drying poles, and there were wide sheets everywhere, blocking Lin Yang's sight.

Lin Yang pushed aside the two sheets, saw the open iron door of the warehouse behind, and shouted:
"Is Master Ye here?"

Ye Wen heard the voice in the warehouse inside, and hurried out quickly.

Seeing Lin Yang's young and unfamiliar face, Ye Wen asked, "I am Ye Wen, are you here to learn boxing?"

"Master Ye is good!"

Lin Yang clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Exactly! Disciple Lin Yang, who has admired Master's name for a long time, came here to pay homage to Master Ye, and ask Master Ye to complete it!"

"No problem!" Ye Wen agreed without hesitation, then rubbed his hands together, and said shyly:

"Well, pay the tuition first!"

. . . .

Ye Wen is really poor now, for the sake of tuition, he is willing to teach without even asking about Lin Yang's background.

Lin Yang took out 500 yuan, and Ye Wen was taken aback, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Five yuan a month is enough, not so much."

Lin Yang knew that Ye Wen was an honest person, so he stuffed the money into Ye Wen's hands, and said with a smile: "If you have more, just be a disciple and honor the master!"

Ye Wen was still waiting for his resignation, but Lin Yang continued: "Master, why bother to see others, I came to Hong Kong alone, and I have no food and lodging, so I have to ask Master for help."

Hearing what Lin Yang said, Ye Wen said: "Okay! Then the master will accept it. You can eat with the teacher from now on. As for the place to live, I will ask the landlord, there should be extra rooms for rent. "

Lin Yang naturally had no objection, and said with a smile: "It's getting late now, master should take me to find a good place to live, and then teach boxing in the afternoon."

Ye Wen has been in exile for a long time, and he deeply agrees.

The two went back to Ye Wen's house.

Seeing that Ye Wen came back in the morning, Ye Wen's wife Zhang Yongcheng wondered, "Why did you come back so early?"

Ye Wen turned sideways, pointed at Lin Yang behind him, and said with a smile: "Yongcheng, let me introduce you. This is my new apprentice Lin Yang. He has just arrived in Hong Kong. I will bring him here to ask the landlord if he still has a house. Did you rent it?"

Lin Yang greeted Zhang Yongcheng with a smile: "Master's wife is good!"

Seeing Lin Yang's politeness and his timely help, Zhang Yongcheng's affection doubled, and he responded, "Hello!"

Ye Wenwen: "Yongcheng, Lin Yang will have dinner with us from now on, you can cook more at noon, I will accompany Lin Yang to buy some daily necessities later, and I will buy some food when I come back."

While talking, Ye Wen took out 500 yuan, gave Zhang Yongcheng [-] yuan, and kept [-] yuan for himself.

Zhang Yongcheng was also taken aback when he saw that Ye Wen suddenly added 500 yuan. She is a smart person, and she knew without thinking that it must be given by Lin Yang. Have a heart!"

Lin Yang said with a smile: "Master, you are welcome! It should be!"

Ye Wen and Lin Yang bid farewell to Zhang Yongcheng, rented another house from the landlord, and then went outside to buy some daily necessities, a roast goose, a basket of eggs, and some fruits and vegetables.Lin Yang's preemptive payment was quite fast, which made Ye Wen very embarrassed.

Thanks to Lin Yang's blessing, the three of them had a sumptuous lunch at noon.

After the meal, Lin Yang wanted to help tidy up, but was rejected by Zhang Yongcheng. According to Zhang Yongcheng, that is, the man is in charge of the outside and the woman is in the house. These are women's affairs, and men should not touch them.

Lin Yang thought, when I was alone, I often do it myself, otherwise I would have nothing to eat.But he couldn't hold back Zhang Yongcheng, so he had no choice but to give up.

Ye Wen brewed a pot of tea and said, "Ayang, your teacher's wife is like this. You sit down and talk to me."

Lin Yang smiled and said, "Okay, Master is so virtuous, Master is really blessed."

Ye Wen heard that Lin Yang praised Zhang Yongcheng so much, which made him more happy than complimenting him, and said with a smile on his face, "That is, that is! Ah Yang, I think you have a gentle and elegant conversation, you should have read a lot of books! Why? Did you come to Hong Kong alone?"

Of course, Lin Yang couldn't tell the truth, so he thought for a while, and replied: "I have studied for more than ten years, and the domestic situation is not very good. During the war, my homeland fell, and my parents died unfortunately, so I left my hometown."

Ye Wen felt the same when thinking of his home in Foshan, but fortunately his family members were all fine, so he could only sigh: "Hey, war hurts people!"

Zhang Yongcheng heard the conversation between the two, walked over, and spat: "You, why are you asking so many questions?"

After Zhang Yongcheng reprimanded Ye Wen, he comforted Lin Yang and said, "Ah Yang, you can't be resurrected after death, so don't be too sad. Master and wife will be your relatives from now on."

Lin Yang thought to himself: "I'm sorry, parents, and master and wife, you just think that my lies are just passing by."

Lin Yang thought so in his heart, but he pretended to be choked up and said, "I know! Fortunately, the war is over, and everyone can live a good life in the future."

Ye Wen patted Lin Yang on the shoulder, the men didn't need to talk too much, this action showed each other's meaning.

Ye Wen poured two cups of tea, drank it with Lin Yang, took Lin Yang back to the rooftop, and began to teach Lin Yang Wing Chun.
