Chapter 70 Testing
"Money?" The two brothers asked in unison: "Do you still need to pay money to learn martial arts?"
When Fourth Master Wen heard this, his complexion changed drastically. He slapped the brush in his hand on the table and said angrily, "Who will teach you if you don't take money? Judging by your appearance, could it be that you are fooling me?"
The Zhang family brothers didn't even dare to say no, and then Zhang Xiaohu told them about the guards of Misty Villa who let them come here. Only then did Fourth Master Wen's anger subside a little, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of water, and then spoke: "It seems It was the guard who made a mistake, so I can’t blame you for this matter.”
Zhang Xiaohu wondered: "Excuse me, Fourth Master, what's wrong?"
Fourth Master Wen saw Zhang Xiaohu's respectful expression, cleared his throat, and said like a good teacher: "Seeing that you have come from afar, let me briefly tell you."
"Usually there is a martial arts gym for the masters to learn art. You have to pay tuition fees, eat and live in the martial arts hall, and of course you have to pay for board and lodging. In Pingyang City, our Lotus Escort Bureau is the only one, so there is no separate martial arts gym. Our Escort Bureau It also has the function of a martial arts school, and it usually recruits people who come to learn martial arts. However, it is wrong for you to go to Misty Villa to learn martial arts. Martial arts halls recruit people regardless of age, depending on the background and understanding of martial arts. Accepted, but the best age to practice martial arts is when people are five or six years old. It will be difficult to become a master in martial arts in the future. The recruiting of martial arts is to teach ordinary Kung Fu routines, while the recruiting of villas is to Disciples in the Misty Sect generally only accept children aged five or six, so if you go to be a teacher, you will definitely not accept them."
Speaking of this, the faces of the two Zhang family brothers changed drastically. They thought they would stay in the Lotus Escort for a while, but they still wanted to join Misty. It seemed that their thinking was too simple.
Zhang Xiaohua asked nervously: "Then fourth master, what does it mean that the guards of the villa told us to come here?"
Fourth Master Wen smiled, twirled his beard, and said: "In addition to recruiting people to practice martial arts in the martial arts hall, the Lotus Escort Bureau is mainly engaged in the business of the Escort Bureau. During this period, the Escort Bureau is short of manpower, and it needs to recruit some trainees and escorts. Guard, I guess that's what he meant."
Zhang Xiaohu quickly asked: "Do I need to pay money?"
Fourth Master Wen said: "The guards and troopers who walk the darts work for the Escort Bureau. Of course, they don't have to pay money. They are released every month and have wages."
Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "Then can I learn martial arts?"
Fourth Master Wen said: "Yes, of course you need martial arts to defend yourself when you walk a dart. How can you do it if you don't learn martial arts?"
The eyes of Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohu immediately shone, this job where they can practice martial arts and earn money at the same time is really great.
However, the following words from Fourth Master Wen made the two of them fall into the abyss immediately: "However, the troopers and guards in this move also need to have a background in martial arts. Have you ever practiced martial arts?"
Zhang Xiaohu curled his lips and said in a low voice, "I haven't practiced before."
Fourth Master Wen's face darkened immediately, and he said, "Why are the guards in Misty Villa doing things so stupidly? Why did they send you here without asking them carefully? I just let you go home."
Then, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked, "Where are you from?"
Zhang Xiaohu said, "Lu Zhen."
Fourth Master Wen muttered: "Lu Town, Lu Town, I didn't hear that that disciple's home is in Lu Town."
Then he asked again: "Lu Town is very far away from here, how do you know about the Misty Sect?"
Zhang Xiaohu also only said that he knew Wen Wenhai and Lu Yueming, but did not elaborate on the others.
Fourth Master Wen's brows relaxed, and he understood what the guard meant.
He immediately said kindly: "Since that's the case, you should go to Qu Zishou to have a look. Without the foundation of martial arts, the guards will definitely not accept him. If Qu Zishou is still short of people, there is still some hope. Let's go. The old man is fine, I will take you to Li Laoliu's place."
After finishing speaking, he got up and brought the two of them out, which flattered the Zhang family brothers.
Fourth Master Wen took the Zhang brothers to the fourth room next door,
Asking the two to wait outside the house for a while, he pushed the door open and walked in. There was a thin man in the house, about thirty years old, smoking vigorously with a dry cigarette in his mouth. Seeing Fourth Master Wen come in, he couldn't help laughing and said: " Why does Fourth Master Wen have time to come to my place?"
Fourth Master Wen looked at the smoke in the room, went to the window, opened the window, fanned the smoke in front of his eyes and said: "Li Lao Liu, if you smoke less, you will die. The house is full of smoke. Who likes to come here?" land."
Then, he asked again: "Is the recruitment going smoothly these days? Have you recruited all of them?"
Li Laoliu took the dry tobacco, knocked the pot on the stool and said: "The recruitment is almost the same, the bodyguards are still one or two short, and the trip is a bit troublesome, almost a lot. You have to work hard, anyone with a little foundation likes to be a bodyguard, even if you can almost be a bodyguard for a car dealership, it's better than working hard in an escort agency."
Fourth Master Wen chuckled and said, "That's just right."
Then he turned around and let the Zhang family brothers enter the house, and said to Zhang Xiaohu: "This is Li Liuye, who is in charge of recruiting trippers. Let's get to know each other."
Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua hurried forward to salute.
Li Laoliu looked at Zhang Xiaohu, then looked at Fourth Master Wen strangely, and said, "Which play are you singing? You asked him to be your assistant?"
Fourth Master Wen nodded, and Li Laoliu looked at Zhang Xiaohu up and down, and asked, "You look like you haven't practiced martial arts, have you?"
Zhang Xiaohu replied respectfully: "Yes, I haven't practiced before."
Li Laoliu looked at Fourth Master Wen wonderingly, and said, "I haven't practiced before, why are you here? How do you ask me to accept it? It's also dangerous to walk around. You didn't tell him clearly about this hard work?"
Fourth Master Wen said with a smile: "This trip is no better than a bodyguard, and it's not necessary to know martial arts. I know that. He just wants to learn martial arts, and..."
Then Fourth Master Wen whispered a few words into Li Laoliu's ear, and Li Laoliu nodded repeatedly, but finally said: "Although Qu Zishou didn't say that you must have martial arts, if you are not healthy, you don't have to. I still can't have the talent for practicing martial arts, otherwise I won't be able to explain to those people if there are any problems in the future."
Fourth Master Wen said with a smile: "They are all from peasants, and their health should be fine. Take him to the martial arts field for a test. If he can do the best, if he can't, just explain to him that you can't just practice martial arts. Don't die."
Turning back to Zhang Xiaohu, he said, "Do you think so?"
Zhang Xiaohu nodded repeatedly.
Li Laoliu had no choice but said to Zhang Xiaohu: "Okay then, come with me."
After speaking, he brought Zhang Xiaohu to the square outside the house. At this moment, some people were already practicing martial arts in the martial arts training ground, some were practicing boxing and kicking, some were fighting back and forth with weapons, and some were holding stone locks. Fight hard. Li Laoliu took Zhang Xiaohu to the side of the stone lock. Several people who raised the stone lock put down the stone lock, and saluted Li Laoliu and others. Standing beside him, Li Laoliu pointed to a stone lock and said to Zhang Xiaohu: "This is a one-hundred-jin stone lock." The stone lock, can you lift it?"
Zhang Xiaohu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't lifted it before."
Li Laoliu said, "Then try it."
Zhang Xiaohu nodded, walked forward, grasped the stone lock with his hands, lifted it vigorously, then took a deep breath, imitating the way people lifted the stone lock just now, he lifted the stone lock over his head with one hand, and then let it go After getting down, he looked back at Li Laoliu, who nodded and said, "It's okay, that one weighs 150 catties, you can try again."
Zhang Xiaohu looked at the slightly larger stone lock next to him, and he still lifted it up. However, his forehead was sweating, and Li Laoliu seemed a little satisfied. The people watching the excitement did not have the contempt just now, after all, Zhang Xiaohu was at this age. , Looking at the body is not very strong, it is not bad to lift 150 catties without training. Li Laoliu did not give up, and pointed to another one and said: "This is 200 catties. Yes, try again."
At this time, the people next to him were also stunned. The two hundred catties stone lock was not the heaviest in the martial arts training ground. However, not everyone in this group could lift it when they first came. Only the muscular man can show his face at the beginning, and the rest can only lift the 200-jin stone lock after practicing and building up his strength. Now Li Lao Liu is asking Zhang Xiaohu to try it out, either to make things difficult or to see Zhang Xiaohu's potential.
Zhang Xiaohu looked like a rising calf at this time, naturally he was not afraid, he went forward and weighed it first, it felt very heavy, but, thinking about his future martial arts practice, he still took a deep breath as before, and raised his single arm upwards Unfortunately, when he was about to lift it above his head, his arm went limp, and the stone lock fell to the ground. Zhang Xiaohu turned pale, but the people around him applauded. They all applauded. Li Laoliu also nodded and said with a smile. :"not bad, very good."
Only then did Zhang Xiaohu realize that he should have passed the test in terms of strength.
Then, Li Laoliu asked Zhang Xiaohu: "You haven't practiced martial arts at all, have you?"
Zhang Xiaohu nodded in agreement.
At this time, all the martial arts practitioners were attracted by the applause. Li Laoliu pointed to a young man who had just arrived and was in the same grade as Zhang Xiaohu, and said, "Little monkey, come here and give us a set of Liuhe boxing."
Then, he turned his head and said to Zhang Xiaohu: "Look carefully, and when he finishes beating, repeat it to me."
The Liuhe Boxing is a set of simple introductory boxing techniques, and under the hands of the little monkey, it is also very impressive. It seems that he has put in a lot of effort. Zhang Xiaohu is watching his every move with concentration, waiting for the little monkey. After finishing work, there was no lack of applause from the side.
Li Laoliu looked at Zhang Xiaohu. Zhang Xiaohu closed his eyes, as if he was remembering. After waiting for a while, he started to fight slowly from the first move. It was very well organized, and the more he punched, the more frightened Li Laoliu became, and everyone was dumbfounded until he hit six or seven out of ten of a set of punches, then stopped, scratched his head, and Zhang Xiaohu said embarrassedly: I forgot all about it.”
Li Laoliu said sharply: "To be honest, have you never practiced martial arts before? Have you never practiced this boxing technique?"
