Chapter 332: Fight
Dean Zhou smiled. He didn't know Qiu Huoming had this backup plan. He had an ability, which was that he could remember most of the things he heard once.
He still remembered what Qiu Huoming had just said when he asked the main station to transfer the call.
After returning to the office, he called the front desk until he contacted Xu Lang himself, and then he told him the whole story.
Qiu Huoming nodded to him when he passed by. In such a situation, he could only try to remain silent.
When we got downstairs, a black Hongqi sedan was parked at the door and the driver had already opened it.
The young man took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat.
Qiu Huoming was sitting in the back row, and next to him was an old man who had experienced gunfire and rain of bullets. He had also read stories about him in the picture books he read when he was a child.
The car drove forward and no one stopped it.
"Grandpa Xu..." Qiu Huoming felt a little guilty.
Grandpa Xu's face was a little swollen, and it was obvious that he was not in good health, but he was still in good spirits.
"Xu Lang thinks highly of you. I've never seen him so anxious before..." Grandpa Xu glanced at Qiu Huoming, "He said that you have grasped the essence of boxing..."
Qiu Huoming was embarrassed and said, "I have some sense of energy, but I can't say I have the essence yet." He answered honestly.
Grandpa Xu suddenly perked up. "You've only been learning for about half a year, how come you've gained a sense of Qi so quickly?"
"When we get home, show me how to do it." Grandpa Xu glanced at the young man sitting in the front row, "Xiao Hu, practice with him..."
The young man in the front row turned his head and responded.
The car drove non-stop all the way to a heavily guarded residential area, drove straight in, and stopped at the door of a courtyard house with red bricks and black tiles.
Several people got out of the car, and when they got here, Grandpa Xu didn't let them support him.
After entering and passing the screen wall, you will see the martial arts hall.
Grandpa Xu seemed to be in a hurry, and he sat down on the armchair on the corridor. "Huo Ming, do you want to change your clothes?"
What he meant was that now it was time to watch them practice against each other.
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "No need to be so troublesome."
He put his backpack on the floor of the corridor, took off his thin cotton jacket, and put on an autumn shirt underneath. He had been wearing sneakers these days, so now he didn't even need to change his shoes.
Hu Zi over there also took off his coat. He was strong and his shoulders were slightly broader than Qiu Huoming's.
Qiu Huoming is taller than him, and when they stand together, he suddenly looks tall and thin.
Grandpa Xu frowned slightly. Tall people often have an unstable center of gravity, which is also a big taboo for boxing.
The two of them saluted each other with fists, and both were very good at etiquette.
Grandpa Xu was a little worried and shouted, "That's enough."
He shouted at Hu Zi, and Hu Zi responded, "I know."
Qiu Huoming glanced at him and felt that he was being looked down upon.
It was around 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The foggy sky suddenly seemed to be blown open by the wind, and the sunlight poured down directly.
The shadows of the two people are clearly visible.
As soon as Hu Zi made a move, it was clear that this man had been immersed in martial arts for many years.
He already has power.
Grandpa Xu sat on a chair on the corridor, watching their duel with half-closed eyes. As he was watching, his eyes suddenly widened.
Qiu Huoming was being modest when he spoke of the aura just now. It was obvious that he was just like Hu Zi, both of them had power.
The two men's clothes fluttered and the wind from their palms whistled. In the first few moves, they were entangled in a fight, neither of them gave in, and it actually ended in a draw.
Qiu Huoming was so tall, but he actually had a very good control of his center of gravity. Not only that, he had the advantage of long arms and legs, and he was able to somewhat block Hu Zi's castration...
It made Hu Zi's punches extremely painful.
Grandpa Xu has been a soldier for half his life, and he can let go of everything except martial arts...
This was also the foundation of his existence in the first place. Although he is in poor health now, he still remains true to his original aspiration and always has a great passion for martial arts.
He held the armrests of the armchair and sat up straight...
Half an hour later, both players were drenched in sweat, but the winner was still not determined.
Grandpa Xu had a smile on his face and clapped his hands. "Okay, that's enough."
Hu Zi obeyed the order and immediately retreated after hearing it, avoiding Qiu Huoming's last move.
Qiu Huoming also quickly withdrew his hand and stepped back.
"Hahahaha, it's really enjoyable to watch. No wonder Xu Lang is so protective of you."
Grandpa Xu stood up with the help of the handrail, "You are good, I am very happy today..."
"Huzi, take him downstairs to take a bath and change his clothes. Make some arrangements for Huoming to stay in my grandson's room..."
Hu Zi agreed and pulled Qiu Huoming into the house.
Qiu Huoming hurriedly called out, "Wait, I'll get the bag..."
He quickly ran to the corridor, put his backpack on his shoulder, and took his cotton jacket in his hand as well.
"Not impatient or irritable, good." Grandpa Xu continued to praise as he stood aside.
This made Qiu Huoming feel a little embarrassed. "The main reason is that these are all my belongings, and I'm afraid of losing them."
Qiu Huoming licked his face and explained.
"Interesting. Aren't you afraid of me?" Grandpa Xu couldn't help but ask when he saw that he was not nervous at all when talking to him.
"You are my grandfather, why should I be afraid? Only bad people will be afraid of you. I am not a bad person."
Qiu Huoming smiled and waved his hand, "Grandpa Xu, I'm going to take a shower..."
Grandpa Xu stood there, watching them walk away, and then he felt a little tired. The security guard beside him had already walked over and held him up with his hand...
Qiu Huoming followed Hu Zi and walked in together.
"Brother Huzi, you are so awesome. How long have you been practicing boxing?" These words were indeed the truth. It was rare for Qiu Huoming to fight with someone so evenly matched. It was extremely exciting and he had a very good impression of Huzi.
Hu Zi smiled and said, "I have been practicing since I was a child. I am not good at physical training. I am good at brute force, but I think your boxing skills are well-balanced. It is rare for you at your age..."
Qiu Huoming smiled. This was considered a business praising of each other.
He sweated a lot today, and every pore of his body felt refreshed.
"Brother Huzi, it was fun to fight with you. Shall we continue tomorrow?"
Hu Zi nodded, "Okay, it's rare for me to meet an opponent. Before, when I was sparring, I was afraid of hurting people. Now I can let go, I am also very happy..."
Hu Zi is not good at speaking, but he always smiles and you can tell that he is in a good mood today.
The two of them got to know each other through fighting, and they both had a certain degree of mutual respect.
"I'll call you Huoming too." He pulled Qiu Huoming and walked to the door of the wing room on the left, "This is where we usually take a bath..."
"When summer comes, we can take cold showers in the yard. It's not possible in this weather now..." As he introduced, he walked quickly towards a row of cabinets inside.
"There are a lot of washed clothes here, and there are also new ones." He opened the door of one of the cabinets, "These are all new, you can choose, I'll go in and rinse them first..."
He picked up a set at random, took a towel and a washbasin from the shelf next to him, and turned to enter the side door.
Qiu Huoming put down his backpack and cotton-padded jacket, reached into the cupboard and rummaged around. He looked at the size and found a large one. He also followed Hu Zi's example, took the towel from the shelf, and followed with the washbasin in his hand.
There was already the sound of water splashing inside.
When I came out of the shower, the setting sun was already hanging in the horizon. The sky was still gray. The light of the setting sun was scattered in the mist, and the scenery near and far seemed a little unreal.
There were washed clothes in Qiu Huoming's washbasin, and he rubbed them all.
Unexpectedly, Hu Zi was the same as him. Seeing him carrying wet clothes out, he couldn't help laughing, "Huo Ming, I didn't expect you to wash your own clothes..."
Qiu Huoming asked curiously: "Of course I wash my own clothes."
"Hey, you're different from them." Hu Zi approached and said again, "There are service personnel. Most people who live here just throw their stuff to them to wash."
Qiu Huoming glanced at him and asked, "Why do you wash it yourself?"
"I'm used to it. Just like you said, I should wash my own clothes." Hu Zi grinned, revealing a few big white teeth.
"Go hang out the clothes..."
The two of them hung their clothes under the eaves to dry.
"I'll take you to check in first..."
Hu Zi led Qiu Huoming to the west. Not far away, they saw several connected houses. He pushed open one of the houses and Qiu Huoming followed him in.
This is a small suite, but it has everything.
After he put his things away, Hu Zi said, "It's almost time, let's go, I'll take you to the restaurant for dinner."
The restaurant is very close, just diagonally opposite.
The sun was setting, gradually sinking into the buildings.
The restaurant was brightly lit. Grandpa Xu had just come in. When he saw Qiu Huoming, he smiled and asked, "Are you used to where you live?"
Qiu Huoming nodded, "The arrangement is very thoughtful, and the room is very suitable."
"That's my eldest grandson's room. Unfortunately, he has returned to his hometown. You can stay there as long as you want. You are still my grandson, so don't be polite."
Qiu Huoming was somewhat amused by what he said.
"Then why doesn't he come back?" Qiu Huoming asked.
Grandpa Xu shook his head, "I won't let him come back..."
There seems to be a story here.
Hu Zi, who was standing by, winked at him, and Qiu Huoming immediately changed the subject. He looked at the bottles of liquor on the dining table and asked, "Grandpa Xu, do you like drinking?"
Grandpa Xu sat down in the main seat, reached out for the wine bottle, and poured himself a glass of wine.
"Alcohol can relieve pain." He said lightly.
Hu Zi's eyes turned red.
Qiu Huoming glanced at them and for a moment he didn't know whether he should continue the conversation.
On the contrary, Grandpa Xu took a sip of wine and smiled: "My fate is already very good. Some of my comrades-in-arms have passed away a long time ago..."
The white wine went down the throat and into the stomach, and the pain in the body gradually dissipated.
He poured another glass and drank it in one gulp. Someone had already brought the dishes over.
Qiu Huoming and Hu Zi were sitting at the back, and there was no one else in the restaurant.
Grandpa Xu smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, eat whatever you want."
There were not many varieties of dishes on the table, and compared to his level, the dishes could even be said to be simple.
Qiu Huoming was not polite either, holding the bowl and asked, "Do you want me to serve you some rice first?"
Hu Zi smiled and said, "That's not necessary, everyone can serve their own."
He demonstrated it, then picked up the bowl and filled himself with rice.
"We are soldiers, we don't care about particular things, as long as we have enough to eat."
Qiu Huoming grinned. He liked this kind of occasion and he liked to be casual.
Several people were eating and chatting.
"Come on, Huo Ming, tell me how Xu Lang chose you in the first place."
After three rounds of drinks, Grandpa Xu became more cheerful and started to ask.
Qiu Huoming simply recounted what happened in Yangcheng from beginning to end.
"Oh, you are a talented writer, and you write martial arts novels!"
Grandpa Xu was even more surprised now. "Which article is it?"
He took a sip of his wine and asked, "Maybe, I've seen it before."
"The Young Fairy Tale is not well written..." Qiu Huoming said modestly.
Unexpectedly, Grandpa Xu slammed the table and said, "Don't look down on the poor young man!"
Qiu Huoming blushed, "You...you have seen it."
"Hahahaha, he looked at it. Ask Hu Zi! He looked at it too."
Qiu Huoming turned his head and looked at Hu Zi, who was looking at him with surprise.
"Huo Ming, it's you! Your ending was too hasty, is there anything else to come? Didn't he go to find his mother? How did it end like that..."
"And he..."
Qiu Huoming held the bowl in his hand, listening to Hu Zi's endless questions. For a moment he didn't know where to start answering.
The first part of this novel has been completed.
Qiu Huoming created a gimmick in this novel, following Jin Yong's style and planning to write a series of novels.
So there were several hooks in the novel. Hu Zi read the novel very carefully. The questions he asked were all traps set by Qiu Huoming in advance...
He plans to fill it in with the second part.
Unfortunately, I have been busy lately and have not even started writing the second part of this novel.
When Hu Zi finally finished, Qiu Huoming said, "Don't spoil the story. When I write the second part, you will know it when you read it."
Hu Zi was stunned for a moment, his eyes gradually turned angry, "Okay, let's go fight after dinner!"
Qiu Huoming shook his head, "Let's fight tomorrow, let me take a break today..."
Grandpa Xu looked at Hu Zi who suddenly became lively, and smiled, "Hu Zi, you are now like a young man. These days, you guys fight every day, and I come to watch. Watching is the same as if I have fought..."
"Hahahaha!" When he said this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The service personnel on the side looked at Qiu Huoming curiously.
There hasn't been so much laughter in this house for a long time. Ever since Grandpa Xu fell ill, the atmosphere here has become increasingly solemn.
In the past, there were a few grandchildren living here, but after Grandpa Xu sent them away, it became even more deserted.
Today, as he looked at Grandpa Xu’s smile, he couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"Would you like to add a few dishes?" he asked, leaning over.
Grandpa Xu nodded and said, "Bring the next plate of dumplings..."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Huoming immediately put down the bowl in his hand and waited to eat dumplings.
Hu Zi smiled and said, "You are in for a treat. Aunt Zhang's dumplings are a must-try. They are so delicious..."
As they were talking, the phone in the hall rang.
The service personnel answered the phone and turned to look at Qiu Huoming, "Comrade Qiu, it's your call..."
Qiu Huoming pushed the chair away and stood up.
Grandpa Xu smiled and said, "It must be Xu Lang calling. Go answer it."
