There's something wrong with me

Chapter 38: The Agile Mantis Bird
That night, two ghosts were burned.

Nothing happened for five days.

Zhang Feng was also happy and free, practicing martial arts in the kitchen of the small restaurant all day long.

Because Ahang and others have now taken on his work.

I have more time.

And on the morning of the sixth day.

"Are the dishes ready?" Ah Hang is now announcing the dishes in the front hall, and he is becoming more and more skilled.

"Sorry for waiting so long, the food is here." Two young men were serving as waiters.

The other two, one cooks in the kitchen and the other helps.

Zhang Feng also saw that the customers who usually liked to cause trouble no longer had any intention of causing trouble when they saw Ah Hang in this store.

Then leave them here.

To have some peace and quiet, to save effort.

After all, small restaurants still have to make money, and I still have to get a salary.

It’s a good thing that I have someone to help me with the work now.

And in the evening of this day.

Three men with some kung fu skills walked into the noodle shop opposite the small restaurant.

The leading man was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with short hair, medium build and a handsome face.

There were two strong men following behind him, one with a face full of flesh, and the other was not much better.

When they arrived at the noodle shop, they sat down near the door.

"Hello, hello!" The noodle shop owner came over with a smile.

"Hello." The handsome man in the lead looked at the smiling noodle shop owner and said, "Three bowls of noodles, please."

"Okay, Brother Mantis!" The noodle shop owner nodded and bowed.

Because he knew that this person was not easy to deal with.

"The Mantis Bird is the boss of South City..." The noodle shop owner asked someone to make noodles, while feeling suspicious, "But... why did he come to eat here?
If my friend and I hadn't gone to South City to see an underground boxing match, I really wouldn't have recognized him.'

As the boss thought about this, he walked away.

Mantis Bird looked at the two brothers opposite him and said, "I heard from Ergui's brothers that Ergui was beaten to death by Zhang, the chef from the restaurant opposite.

Killing four people in two or three seconds?

Do you think this Chef Zhang is a martial artist?"

"It's almost certain." A younger brother nodded. "Even if it's not, he still has the ability to kill people."

"Yeah." Another little brother also nodded, "Brother Mantis, I've thought about it carefully, and I think it's best for us not to easily contact this Chef Zhang.

Because no one knows which side he belongs to, let alone what his personality is like."

"Well, I have an idea." Mantis Bird put his hands together and rested his chin on them. "So I'll just take a look across the street and get to know them a little bit to see if we are kindred spirits."

They did not choose to have direct contact, but just silently observed Zhang Feng's working environment.

But at the same time.

In front of the small restaurant.

When Ah Hang was seeing off the guests, he glanced outside the door and saw the three Mantis Birds opposite him.

The three Mantis Birds didn't know Ah Hang, and didn't even take the "skinny" Ah Hang seriously.

When Ah Hang saw them, his heart tightened because he recognized them.

'Is he a mantis bird?'

Ah Hang began to grumble in his heart, then returned to the restaurant and went straight to the kitchen.

Zhang Feng was standing still when he saw Ah Hang coming in and hurriedly said, "Boss! Boss! Something's happening! It's a big deal!"

Ahang's voice is a little hoarse, which is due to the loud calls for food these days.

"What's going on?" Zhang Feng slowly put away his fists. "Is someone looking for trouble?"

"No, no, no..." He shook his head and pointed outside.

"I saw a mantis bird!"

"Mantis bird?" Zhang Feng frowned. He had some impression of it, but he only knew that it was a person, not an insect.

"What does he do?"

"Boxing match, let's fight!" Ah Hang demonstrated a boxing move. "Mantis Bird has an underground boxing ring in South City. It's the biggest one here!"

Ah Hang spoke passionately, thinking that since the boss was so good at fighting, he would definitely get a lot of bonuses!
"The mantis bird is right outside, don't you want to say hello to him, Boss?"

Ahang looked at Zhang Feng expectantly.

"Underground boxing match?" Zhang Feng hadn't thought about fighting at all, but he wanted to watch the boxers and try to guess what the general situation of the local military was like.

Furthermore, while watching the fight, you might see some brilliant moves in the boxing match.

It can also help you gain some combat experience.

"When I was with my master, he often let me watch old videotapes of actual matches."

Zhang Feng recalls his memories in 'Baby Adventure World',
'At that time, my master told me that watching and practicing are both indispensable.

Now, there is a big boxing boss. If I could get to know him, I could find a good seat to watch the fight.' I thought to myself.

Zhang Feng looked at Ah Hang, "Where is the person you mentioned?"

"Outside the store." Ah Hang pointed to the front hall. "When I was seeing a guest off just now, I saw him eating noodles at the restaurant across the street."

"Walk."

Zhang Feng did what he thought and walked straight to the front hall.

lobby.

"Lao Zhang?" The boss, who was counting the bills, saw Zhang Feng coming out of the kitchen and subconsciously asked, "What's going on?"

"I'm going out for a walk." Zhang Feng walked to the counter and pointed to the cigarette and alcohol cabinet behind him. "Grab a pack of cigarettes. Let's meet a friend."

"Okay." The boss didn't ask any more questions and quickly picked out a pack of the most expensive cigarettes in the store. "Wanbao, how are you?"

"Enough." Zhang Feng took the cigarette and left.

At the same time, opposite.

"A master has come out!" A younger brother looked at Zhang Feng who had just left the house.
"When he walked, there was a shadow in the shape of a dragon."

The younger brother said, then shook his head, "No, it seems like there's another gossip step?"

He rubbed his chin. "Such a master? From the restaurant across the street? Could he be Chef Zhang?"

"Is it Chef Zhang? I don't know." Another brother frowned and subconsciously wanted to stand up, "But I know he must be a good fighter!"

"Sit down." Mantis Bird slapped the table lightly with his palm, "Everyone, look away and eat your noodles."

After hearing the boss's words, the two of them withdrew their gazes and stopped looking.

But his buttocks did not touch the bench. He gathered the strength of his waist to ensure that he could attack and defend at any time.

The mantis bird sat quietly and ate noodles with big mouthfuls.

Bliss, blip~
When Zhang Feng dodged the car and arrived at the door of the noodle shop, the mantis bird had finished eating.

At the same time, after seeing Zhang Feng step into the door, Mantis Bird also stood up first and looked at Zhang Feng, who was obviously much older than him, and said, "My friends call me Mantis Bird.

"Hey, you're Chef Zhang?"

"Yes." Zhang Feng looked at his two younger brothers, then at the mantis bird.

"Squatting and shoulder punching, sticking and grabbing chest punching, are you three practicing Tai Chi Mantis Fist?"

Tai Chi Mantis Bird is one of the pictographic boxing styles.

It was first named by the Sixth Patriarch Song Zide and is the traditional old mantis boxing.

Zhang Feng also learned it.

"You figured out my whereabouts right away?" Mantis Bird was taken aback.

Although many people know that he practices Mantis Boxing, it is not surprising that they can tell his foundation.

But at this moment, the way the three of them exerted their strength was directly pointed out, which was very tricky.

"Amazing, awesome!" He thought, but smiled and said, "Just now my two brothers were wondering if you were practicing Xingyi or Bagua, but I didn't expect you to see right away that we were practicing Mantis Fist."

"It's just a coincidence." Zhang Feng said this without any modesty.

Because in each world, even if the name of a boxing technique is the same, the training method may be different.

Zhang Feng was also familiar with their power generation, so he pointed out their "gong" first, and unexpectedly he was right.

Similarly, when two unfamiliar martial artists meet, Dian Gong is equivalent to a polite "shallow handshake".

It means 'I can see through your true nature at a glance, so there's no need to bother competing with you, lest we get really angry again'.

And this time in the "literary duel", Zhang Feng won completely.

at the same time.

The mantis bird didn't seem to care about this. Instead, it took out a business card and handed it to Zhang Feng.
"Hey man, I opened an underground boxing ring. If you want to go check it out, call me and I'll arrange a good private room for you."

"Excuse me, Brother Mantis." Zhang Feng didn't expect the communication to be so smooth, but he was ready to open the cigarette package and give him a cigarette.
"Just pay what you deserve, and I won't give you anything less."

"Let's not talk about this." Mantis Bird suddenly went to take Zhang Feng's cigarette.

Zhang Feng subconsciously turned his palm backwards at first, then extended it towards him and put it directly into his palm.

Zhang Feng also let go at the same time, and the soft cigarette box was not wrinkled at all.

"The power is controlled by the mind?" Mantis Bird's eyes lit up, and he looked at the cigarette Zhang Feng gave him, then happily put it in his pocket, "I can't beat you with words, and I can't beat you with martial arts either.

This pack of cigarettes is enough to buy a room for a lifetime. I hope you will give me some face by making friends with me."

"Nice." Zhang Feng smiled, "Come to my shop to eat noodles when you have time."

Zhang Feng pointed at the shop and said, "I cook better than the old Lin family."

"Just take him away..." The boss of the old Lin family was not far away, and he was even more eager for Chef Zhang across the street to ask the gang leader to leave.

"Okay! But I won't accept the reward without merit." Mantis waved his hand and left with his two younger brothers. "I'll come over for noodles when the boxing match starts next month. I'll invite you to come and play then. Don't refuse."

After saying that, he also walked away.

Only then did Ahang dare to come closer.

"Boss Chef!" he asked with a laugh, "What were you talking about with Boss Mantis Bird?"

"We were just chatting about noodles." Zhang Feng replied, then looked at the rickety car at his door, "I'll give your car some paint. You'll be leaving soon. This is so shabby and not presentable."
