Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 100 Stone Lock, Pier

"Master!"

"Come here so early today?"

"There are guys taking care of the filing. I'll be back if nothing happens."

"Master, let me come."

"Ah."

Li An stepped forward and took the razor from his master's hand.

With a slight sizzling sound, the fine white hairs swished down together with the scraped cuticle.

Xianxian Tian walked to the side and sat down on the lounge chair in front of the mirror. Seeing Li An's smooth movements, he couldn't help but nod secretly.

After a while, Li An put down the razor, twisted a hot towel and applied it to the guest's face.

The first-line genius asked casually:

"Did you teach Zhaodi how to use the double sword?"

Li An nodded and took the words with a normal expression:

"Senior sister, haven't you ever learned about weapons? When I was sparring with Master Wu from the Nanzhi Quan Martial Arts School, I learned two butterfly swords from him, so I taught it to my senior sister by the way."

Anyway, Yixiantian also knew that he came to ask for advice, so Li An simply blamed it on Master Wu.

Moreover, the sword technique he taught Lin Zhaodi was also a mixture of the double swords of Baguazhang and the double butterfly swords of Mojiaquan.

When the two were sparring, Lin Zhaodi made some changes based on his Baguazhang playing style, making it seem a bit specious.

However, as long as you can fight.

Yixiantian didn't think much, but said:

"The sword skills are good, but they are a bit mixed and not refined, and are very fancy. The single sword is used to read the hand, the double sword is used to see away, and combined with the walking and moving of Baguazhang, it is barely enough.

This sword technique, in the final analysis, can be summed up in three words: fast, accurate, and ruthless.

You practice this with Zhaodi first, and when you become more proficient later, I can help her correct it. "

"I know Master."

Li An kept moving his hands, raised his head and responded, with a teachable expression on his face.

"Walk slowly."

Li An sent the guests out.

Xianxiantian then stood up and stepped forward, closing the store door.

"Follow me." He turned around and motioned for Li An to follow.

Come to the rooftop.

Yixiantian walked straight towards the weapon rack, and Li An discovered three stone locks that suddenly appeared next to the weapon rack.

"One strength can defeat ten. Just because you can lift a gun with ease doesn't mean you are strong enough."

"In the past, during the martial arts examinations in the late Qing Dynasty, the first level of the rural examination was to lift stone locks. Generally, the stone locks used in the examination were [-] kilograms, [-] kilograms, and [-] kilograms. The heavier the weight, the higher the score.

Therefore, most boxers who take the exam generally use two hundred kilograms of stone locks when practicing. "

"As for the next Wu Jinshi and Wu Zhuangyuan, they must at least practice the three hundred kilograms of stone locks until they can lift it with ease."

Xianxian Tian said, pointing to the three stone locks placed on the ground.

"The three stone locks here are one hundred kilograms, two hundred kilograms, and three hundred kilograms respectively. When you can one day use your arms to hold up a three hundred kilogram stone lock with ease, it means that you have mastered your external skills."

"Bah!"

Xixiantian lifted it with his feet, and the largest stone lock rushed straight up.

Seeing that the stone lock began to fall, Yixiantian stretched out his elbow to catch the stone lock firmly, and formed a posture of two yizhuang.

Xianxiantian gave a soft shout, stepped forward with his right foot, and took a stance. The three hundred kilograms of stone locks were locked on his arms and flew up.
Li An on the other side looked secretly dumbfounded. It was hard for people to imagine that a boxer in his 60s could still do this.

Li An originally thought that with the entry of his three martial arts, his strength would not be much different from that of his master.

But now it seems that I am still looking at the sky from a well.

Put aside other things like competitions.Just relying on Xianxian Tian's effortless control, he was more than a step behind.

After a small set of Bajiquan, the stone lock fell steadily to the ground.

Li An saw that there was sweat on Xiantian's forehead, so he hurried to the corner and took a sweat towel from the clothesline and handed it over.

"Master."

Xianxiantian took the sweat towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Go and try it."

"Okay, Master."

Li An nodded and stepped forward.

"Start training with one hundred pounds."

Before Xian Xiantian finished speaking, Li An had already arrived in front of the three hundred kilogram stone lock.

Drawing the gourd in the same way, he lifted his right foot, and the stone lock rose into the sky, and then landed steadily on his arm.

Xiantiantian immediately looked at Li An in surprise.

"Master, let me try the weight of the three hundred kilograms of stone locks first."

Li An turned to Yixiantian and said.Seeing that there was no objection, he took up his stance.

This is not to show off. The improvement of skills will not increase the experience of fighting with others out of thin air, but the external skills that match the boxing skills will be improved simultaneously.

The three-door boxing technique strengthens the body so that his strength is not weak.

Just as the posture was opened, Li An found that the strength was enough, but the control was still far behind.

Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his forehead. Only halfway through the set of small frames, the flying stone locks on his arms fell.

Li An quickly grabbed the wooden handle in the middle of the stone lock and took a deep breath.

"not bad."

Yixiantian was pleasantly surprised and said: "It seems that those two stone locks are a bit redundant. Your progress has been so fast, which is beyond my expectation. From now on, you can use these three hundred kilograms of stone locks and racks."

The joy in his words was not concealed at all.

His eyes fell on Li An and nodded with satisfaction.

"Put the stone lock aside first, take a breath and I will teach you the six major moves of Bajiquan."

Meanwhile, Cargo Terminal Six.

The screeching sound of tires scraping against the ground suddenly sounded, and two patrol cars stopped steadily at the entrance of the pier.

Pedestrians walking on the road stopped unconsciously.

"Get out of the car quickly."

He Yi urged with half a cigarette between his teeth.

As chaotic footsteps sounded, six or seven military uniforms stood neatly in front of the patrol car.

He opened the passenger door.

By the time he got out of the car, Dashan in the patrol car behind him had already walked over with a group of military uniforms.

"Brother Shan, let's go."

He Yi said hello and turned a blind eye to the pedestrians who stopped.He Dashan led a dozen soldiers in military uniforms and rushed toward the dock like wolves and tigers.

Berth 63.

"I don't have enough energy to work. I'm playing with women until my legs are weak. Why don't you hurry up!"

Wang Laoliu sat on the stool with a slender look, a cigarette in his mouth, and shouted impatiently at the coolie carrying the goods in front of him.

Suddenly there was a noisy sound not far behind him.

A Ma Zai with a bit of a ruffian face looked back, leaned in front of him and whispered:

"Brother Six, a policeman is coming."

Wang Laoliu didn't even look back and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Pick that star! So what about the fucking police? They're just here to collect fees. I'll just give them a few dozen dollars later and pay them off."

Ma Zai looked back and saw more than a dozen police officers coming towards them with evil eyes, and he quickly touched the boss's arm.

"Brother Six, something seems wrong."

"Snapped!"

"It's so fussy to charge a fee, what could be wrong?"

Wang Laoliu slapped Ma Zai on the head, cursed and turned around to look.

"Shishi six!"

Dashan shouted loudly, and Wang Laoliu was frightened. He quickly put on a smile and stood up to greet him.

With a smile on his face, Wang Laoliu hurriedly took out a few thin bills from his trouser pocket and stuffed them into Dashan's shirt pocket.

"I asked why there were magpies chirping. It turned out that two gentlemen were here."

But Dashan didn't give Wang Laoliu any face. He slapped him on the head and opened his mouth to curse:

"Happy mother! Where are the magpies on the beach?"

Wang Laoliu was speechless for a moment, and he smiled and did not dare to answer.

Dashan waved his hand:

"Cuff him to me."

A soldier in military uniform took out the handcuffs from his waist and stepped forward.

"Sir, stop joking, what did I do?"

Wang Laoliu was shocked and backed away.Five or six boys who were staring at the coolies from a distance quickly ran over. "Bang!"

The sound of gunfire instantly attracted the attention of the entire dock.

A group of military uniforms took out their batons from their waists and pressed forward.

Dashan's muzzle moved downward, almost hitting Wang Laoliu's face.

"You are so courageous that you dare to resist arrest and attack the police? Believe it or not, I will shoot you to death?"

Wang Laoliu's face turned pale: "Sir, this is not a joke."

"To shut up!"

Ah Shan interrupted Wang Laoliu and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Take them away! Take them all away!"

The military uniforms were like wolves and tigers, and they pressed Wang Laoliu and the other five people to the ground and handcuffed them.

At this time, He Yicheng glanced at Xiwei who was watching.Xiwei understood this and strode back to his berth.

"Brother Jie, Brother Hao"

"Marijuana!"

"Sir, it's just such a trifle that it's not respectful."

The speaker was a middle-aged man in his 40s who was open-minded and open-minded.He came up with a smile on his face, took out a thick wad of Hong Kong dollars and stuffed it over.

Dashan snorted heavily.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

"Someone reported you for organizing a smuggling operation. Come with us."

"Sir, you know I don't want to be a smuggler."

Dashan waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Dacheng's words.

"What's the use of telling me? Ever since the Yuen Long case happened, I've warned you not to do the human smuggling business. Now someone has reported it. Regardless of whether you did it or not, come with us to the mission."

Seeing Dashan's serious tone, Ma Cheng glanced at Wang Laoliu and his group who were handcuffed behind him, frowned and said:
"It's okay to take a trip. But Sir asked me to explain to my men what happened at the dock first."

"No need to explain, take them all away!"

Dashan waved his hand directly.

"Cat shit glory"

"Beautiful."

"A sir"

"Take them away, take them all away!"

He Yi put his hands on his waist and shouted at the top of his lungs.

The soldiers in uniform are like wolves and tigers, coming and leaving quickly.

In less than half an hour, nearly 20 people were taken away by the police, leaving only four coolies under the foreman looking at each other.

For a moment, the dock fell into an eerie silence.

But after watching the excitement, the shipowner manager standing at the bow looked at the coolies gathering in twos and threes and the goods piled on the dock with a troubled expression.

Involuntarily, we walked along the gangplank to the pier.

"What are you still doing? Are you working?"

"If the foreman is not here, who will get paid for the work?"

Some coolies complained.

The shipowner's manager struck while the iron was hot and said quickly: "Don't worry about wages. You just need to choose someone who can talk about it."

"."

The coolies just looked at him, indifferent.

After working for a long time, of course they want the wages.

But who knows when their foremen will come back and agree rashly. They don’t know how much goods are loaded or how much goods are unloaded.

When the foreman comes back, if the payment is low, none of them can afford to take the blame.

Speaker?
No one is a fool, trying to be the first for more than one yuan of wages?
Seeing that these coolies in front of him seemed to be in need of food and salt, the shipowner manager became a little anxious and angry, and cursed in a low voice, as if he was scolding his mother.

At this time, people like Wu Shihao and Xiwei came over calmly, accompanied by fifty or sixty coolies carrying thick wooden sticks with small arms.

"Manager Huang!"

Wu Shihao shouted.

The middle-aged man known as Manager Huang followed the voice and looked over.

"It's you."

Wu Shihao came to Manager Huang carelessly.

"How about I help you get these goods?"

The two seemed familiar.Manager Huang pushed the black frame on the bridge of his nose and frowned.

"Aren't you in the brokerage business? When did you become a foreman?"

"Who said we only work as brokers? Manager Huang doesn't know, but we are actually also foremans. We have two berths on Pier 600 and Pier [-]. We have more than [-] coolies under our hands."

Wu Shihao chuckled.

Then he made another guarantee:

"Just place an order and I will definitely be able to help you get it onto the ship without delaying Manager Huang's cargo ship from leaving the port."

Manager Huang glanced at the goods piled on the dock, thought for a while, and nodded helplessly:
"OK then."

Wu Shihao changed the subject:
"However, after the work is done, Manager Huang has to pay us the first half of the day's payment."

Manager Huang heard this and stared at him with unkind eyes.

Wu Shihao didn't care and explained with a smile.

"Working at the dock to make a living is hard, haha. I'm going to let Wang Laoliu's coolies continue to work. But then again, if I don't pay for the first half of the day, how can I have enough money to pay them.

Can't people only get half a day's wages for a day's work?Am I right? "

Manager Huang looked at Wu Shihao for a while and then said:

"Yes, as long as you don't delay our departure time."

"Haha, definitely not."

Wu Shihao stretched out his hand in front of Manager Huang, and the two shook hands.

"Manager Huang is a cheerful person and a pleasure to work with! We have been dealing with each other for a long time, so I ask Manager Huang to take more care of him in the future."

"nature."

Manager Huang suddenly laughed out loud.

He turned and walked back along the gangplank to the ship.His eyes were looking at Wu Shihao on the dock.

The conversation between Wu Shihao and Manager Huang just now was quite loud, and the coolies who heard the two people talked in low voices.

Wu Shihao coughed twice and cleared his throat.

"You should have heard what I just said to the shipowner manager. If you want to get paid, go and work. When the work is done, you can calculate how much work you have done and come over and get the money. I will not give you any less of the wages. .”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion among the coolies around him.

However, no one expressed their opinion. They looked at each other in small groups, as if these coolies were waiting for others to agree first.

Wu Shihao winked at several of them calmly.

A coolie said:

"Really? You won't lie to us, right?"

Another coolie took over and echoed:
"That's right, what if Wang Laoliu comes back?"

Wu Shihao had a smile on his face.

"You don't have to worry about these problems. If Wang Laoliu comes back, he will only look for me, Wu Shihao, and will not blame you."

"As for wages, there is no need to worry about it. We brothers are taking care of berths 67 and 68 on this pier. Just work hard, and the money will naturally be yours."

"Hurry up when you are working, otherwise you will miss the ship owner's manager later, and you will not get any wages!"

Most of the coolies were still hesitant.

However, as the people who had asked questions before carried the goods one after another and stepped onto the ship, the others looked at each other and slowly dispersed.

Manager Huang, who was standing at the bow of the ship, saw the coolies starting to work and nodded to Wu Shihao.

Wu Shihao smiled in return.

A shirtless muscular man came over and handed him a ledger.

"Brother Hao, the account book is here."

Wu Shihao opened the account book and took a look at it, then handed it back to the man.

"Wang Shengguang, I'll leave this to you. Take the three brothers to inventory the goods and distribute calculation chips to the workers."

"Understood, Brother Hao."

Wang Shengguang responded, called the three people and turned around to leave.

"Brother Jie, let's go. There are still three berths. We must hurry up, otherwise we may really miss the ship owner and manager later."

After Wu Shihao finished speaking, he walked towards berth No. 64 first.
