Chapter 222 Go to Chenjiagou
When people are idle, they always like to find topics to pass the time. From national affairs, regional disputes, military conflicts, from food, clothing, housing and transportation, from parents, from families to families, neighbors, colleagues in the unit, and three or five friends gather together to drink two taels of wine. There is nothing that cannot be said or discussed. It is said that women gossip, and many times, men are quite rude. It is said that the elderly are chattering, but when young people are bored, they talk a lot.
I feel bored when I am free, but when some meaningful and interesting events are about to happen, my energy and spirit will be concentrated.
In the past two days, two things have gradually become the center of discussion on the topics of the people of Zhengzhou after dinner. One is the countdown to the return of Hong Kong. The other is the international martial arts exchange competition that will be held in Dabu, Henan, an inland city in Zhengzhou soon.
The former is a banner that washes away a century of shame, represents China's strong rise, and is a grand event in the Chinese world. On June 30, Chinese people around the world can stand up their heads high. The bright red representing the festiveness of the Chinese will dye the entire sky. The British who hailed gentlemen everywhere and claimed to be a real aristocrat were just the opposite, because their heads had to be lowered. The iron lady Mrs. Thatcher was completely defeated in front of the unbeaten little man in China. The last governor of Hong Kong Patten would also leave a strong mark in the history of China and Britain.
Compared with the major event of Hong Kong's return, the international martial arts exchange competition is much lighter. Strictly speaking, it is not comparable at all. Although there are many people paying attention, the center of gravity is not here. However, it cannot withstand the propaganda and overwhelming reports of news media such as television, radio, newspapers and other news media over the past few days. The shift in the center of gravity naturally aroused heated discussions among the people. In addition, Henan is originally a hometown of martial arts. The martial arts style condensed in its bones cannot be eliminated. No matter how long the time has passed, it will be difficult to erase.
The saying of the land and water breeds the other people at first sounds nothing, but if you think about it carefully, it is really the case. For example, Guangdong people are open-minded and have a strong ability to accept new things. Northeast people are simple and tough, not afraid of heaven or earth. Zhejiang people are meticulous and born with materials for doing business. People living in the Inner Mongolia grassland are as warm and hospitable as they were born to raise them. They are also Shandong people, Shanxi people, Sichuan people, Yunnan people, etc. No matter which place, they all have their own inherent and strong regional characteristics, which can also be said to be an inimitable characteristic.
In this era of decline in traditional martial arts, it was impossible for the organizer and participants to hold such a Sino-Japanese martial arts exchange competition in Henan to have far-reaching significance and influence.
Although time hastily, under the order of the local government, the efficiency is surprisingly good. In just a few days, everything related to the exchange competition has been in place. The venue, rules and procedures, selection standards for participants, etc. are all done well, and it can be compared with regular competitions. No wonder some people say that unless the Chinese don’t want to do it, as long as they want to do something, there is nothing they can’t do.
While the people were looking forward to the day of return, they were also waiting for the opening of the competition. However, the Zhengzhou Public Security Department was having a headache. Because the continuous fights on the streets in the past few days can almost be regarded as the sum of the past few years. Most of them were from other places. The police just stopped them here, but there were again in other places. Sometimes many blocks still happened at the same time. Not only was the police station in the jurisdiction busy, but even the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau was busy. In the end, they had to ask for help from the armed police to come forward to assist in the defense.
There is more headache than this. What makes them even more headache is that many of the parties in the fight have met for the first time and have never known each other before. As for the reasons for the fight, it is even more absurd. According to those people, this is not a fight, but a martial arts competition. There is no legal provision for martial arts competitions to be illegal, right?
Too many. There are not 10,000 martial artists who flocked to Zhengzhou across the country, and there are 8,000. In order to catch one person, five or six or even seven or eight police officers have to go up. The result may not be able to catch it. Not only can you say that you are embarrassed, but you can't catch it.
Don't arrest? The so-called competitions and competitions of these lawless people do not distinguish between places and occasions. The momentum is coming. Whether in the bustling commercial district, street corner or high-end hotel, they can do it as soon as they go, and the destructive power is quite huge. Afterwards, they were arrested on the charge of destroying public property and hindering public order, but they don't care. Isn't it just a fine? My waist is very bulging, so we will compensate for the damaged things!
That person, no winner was decided just now, come on, let's continue...
It’s lively, Zhengzhou City hasn’t been so lively for a long time!
...
"Is Zhengzhou very lively these days?" Zhou Yu quickly swallowed the hot soup bag in his mouth. He wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth with a tissue, and looked at Tang Ning with a smile.
They visited this soup bakery two days ago. But they were busy paying attention to the movements of Kuroki Shunichi's pedestrians, so they didn't find a chance to come. Early this morning, I could have enjoyed this meal.
"Well, it's very lively. And there are more and more martial arts figures on the street. When the 23rd Exchange Competition opens, it's even more lively." Tang Ning stirred the bowl with a porcelain spoon casually. He didn't like this kind of greasy stuff very much. So he only ate two. "Oh, by the way, the newspaper said that the participants in this exchange competition must be recommended by someone to be qualified to participate. Who are the three of us who are we going to recommend?"
Zhou Yu paused, slowly put down the porcelain spoon in his hand, and then turned his head and looked up a small notebook from his back pocket.
Tang Ning suddenly laughed and said, "I said, why is your butt pocket like the bellyband on the dormitory chest? What are you using, and what else can you use now, take it out together to take a look?"
Zhou Yu ignored Tang Ning's complaints and carefully looked at the small notebook with a black leather cover.
Two or three minutes later, he suddenly looked up at Tang Ning, smiled, and said, "I have found someone who can recommend us."
Tang Ning was delighted and said excitedly: "Who?"
"Chen Bo!"
"Chen Bo? Who? What do you do? Do you know him?"
Zhou Yu shook his head, "I don't know him."
"What? Don't you know?"
Zhou Yu raised the black-skinned notebook in his hand, shook it at Tang Ning, and said, "This notebook was given to me by my grandfather before coming to the capital. As long as the name is remembered on it, you can ask him for help no matter whether you recognize it or not."
Tang Ning felt relieved, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Where can I find him? The Japanese devils have been staying in the hotel for several days. I don't think we need to stare at them every day. Otherwise, we don't have to delay. This morning, we will go to the Chen Bo you mentioned. Let's implement the matter as soon as possible, so you can wait with peace of mind."
"Okay, then let's leave now. Oh, by the way, have you two finished eating?"
"I've eaten, Jiang Tao, where are you?"
Jiang Tao wiped the corner of his mouth with a mint-scented white tissue, but did not reply directly, his eyes drooped, but said lightly: "I ate thirty-six soup dumplings."
Tang Ning heard it and grinned and smiled dryly, "Then...hehe, even if you eat it, maybe..."
Zhou Yu looked at the watch. At 7:50, he asked the waiter to pay.
After leaving the door, he stood on the street and stopped a rough car. Zhou Yu looked at the young man with a buzz cut and square face with a smile while talking about the increasingly skilled Chinese language, and asked, "Brother, can you go to Chenjiagou, Wen County?"
The young brother sat in the car and looked at Zhou Yu and Tang Ning and Jiang Tao behind him. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Go, three hundred. Will it be better?"
"Success." Zhou Yu nodded in agreement without saying a word. He turned around to greet the two people behind him. "Go and get in the car."
"Wait." Tang Ning grabbed Zhou Yu who opened the car door and was about to get on the car, walked to the side, and asked in a low voice with a strange face: "Wenxian? Chenjiagou? The birthplace of Tai Chi? Where are we doing?"
"What are you doing? Of course I'm going to find Chen Bo!"
"Chen Bo is in Chenjiagou? He is from Chenjiagou? He can also practice Tai Chi?"
Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously, hugged Tang Ning's shoulder and said, "Not only, you will know when you get to the place. You must be shocked!"
“Can’t you say it now?”
"Hehe, sorry, no."
"Depend on!"
"Reverse...Damn!"
"day!"
"Anti... Japanese!"
“…Okay, you won.”
The red Jetta rushed out of Zhengzhou. On the highway, the brother looked at Tang Ning and Jiang Tao who were closed in the reversing mirror hanging on the ceiling, with pale face and a little depressed in his spirit. He turned his head to look at Zhou Yu in the passenger seat, and suddenly asked, "Little brother, you guys are going to Chenjiagou, can you also want to learn martial arts and boxing with the Chen family?"
"No, we have something else to go there. Brother, why are you asking that?"
"Haha, that's good. To be honest, there are too many people going to Chenjiagou these days. Local, foreigners, and many foreigners want to learn boxing. But no one succeeded. The Chen family is a really expert who understands Tai Chi, and is a person with real skills. Where can the family inheritance be passed down to others? When Yang Luchan learned boxing, he had stealing skills first and then got started! He was so excited that he was like learning this and that, how could it be so easy? Brother, do you think this is the reason?"
"Yeah, yeah, brother, you're right, fortunately we're not hot."
