Chapter 27: No Fight, No Acquaintance
"This is just warming up. You don't have to worry about getting hurt now," said the old man.
"Don't worry... please show mercy..." Zhang Han said modestly.
The opponent's skills at least made him feel more confident and bolder, and not so timid.
Just now the old man mentioned "push two hands", which is actually Tai Chi push hands. It is just a starting posture, but it has considerable requirements on the waist and reaction.
The two men quickly went from pushing hands to fighting, using moves like Wild Horse Parting Its Mane, White Crane Spreading Its Wings, Single Whip, and Waving Pipa, and each move made Zhang Han look at the old man with more and more respect.
The strength in his body was quite strong, and the old man was not inferior to him at his age. Although the two of them were both practicing Tai Chi, Zhang Han could clearly see that the moves were quite different. It was estimated that the other person was not using Yang Tai Chi.
Furthermore, although Zhang Han had understood, it was his first time fighting with someone, and he was completely inexperienced. Relying on his youth and quick reaction, he relied on brute force when his moves failed to connect, and the old man didn't say anything. Even so, Zhang Han was hit several times.
He only felt pain all over his body. The old man showed no mercy. Fortunately, he was strong enough to not be knocked down. He didn't even make a sound. Instead, he became more competitive and fought harder.
Damn it ! I am a young man in my twenties, sparring with an old man, and I didn't even touch the edge of his clothes, but I was beaten! If people knew about this, I would be so embarrassed!
With this kind of thought, people are inevitably anxious. Tai Chi is afraid of unstable mentality. Suddenly, the old man lowered his body and used a sweeping kick, which swept Zhang Han's ankle firmly .
Oh shit!
Zhang Han was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground.
This time, he was convinced...
"Master... you are awesome... I take back what I said before, I surrender..."
The old man looked at Zhang Han in confusion and said, "Your moves and artistic conception seem to have taken at least ten years of practice. But... your coherence... how come it seems like you've only practiced for ten days or half a month..."
no way!
Although Zhang Han understood it, his proficiency in it was far from enough.
Fighting is different from resetting and acupuncture. You can take your time. Just find the right place and start. When they just started fighting, the old man kept attacking, and Zhang Han couldn't cope with it at all. He can also perform the rules and artistic conception of Tai Chi, which is quite amazing.
"Sir, what you said is..." Zhang Han stood up and said respectfully, "I was a little impatient... I didn't practice enough... I thought I was so good, but today I know that there are always people who are better than you..."
"As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. It is rare for you to be so humble. It is even more precious for you to expose your shortcomings." The old man nodded amiably and said, "Young man, you look unfamiliar. You said before that you were here to visit. I wonder whose relative you are."
Zhang Han told the truth, "Do you know the Luo family? I am Luo Siya's boyfriend."
"Yes, of course I know her..." The old man smiled kindly, "Since you are her boyfriend, why haven't you seen her?"
"She went to play badminton with her sister Luo Siqin. I guess they have gone home now." Zhang Han said.
"I see..." The old man said, and suddenly took off the bracelet on his left wrist, saying: "We hit it off right away. We didn't know each other until we fought. You've been hit so hard by me, an old man, and if I don't show some appreciation, I'd be unworthy of being an elder. I'll give you this bracelet."
Even though Zhang Han didn't know how much the bracelet was worth, since this was just taken off the old man's wrist, he expected it to be quite expensive.
He quickly declined, "Sir, I don't accept gifts without merit. How dare I accept this?"
"I haven't had a sparring match with anyone for a while. I'm so happy to have a good fight with you... If you have the chance in the future, just spar with me more... But remember, practice makes perfect in martial arts. With your current understanding of the artistic conception of Tai Chi, you can make further progress with a little practice..." the old man said kindly.
Then, he forcibly stuffed the bracelet into Zhang Han's hand.
"Well...well...thank you very much, sir..." Zhang Han said embarrassedly.
"You're welcome. Practice more and we'll compete again in a few days!" After the old man said this, he smiled heartily and walked sideways.
"Okay! Definitely!" Zhang Han said solemnly, looking at the old man's tall and straight back.
I never thought that I would meet such an old man when I came to Luo's house.
His mood went up and down that day, especially during meals, the atmosphere at the Luo family made him feel socially dead.
At this moment, I had a fight with the old man. Even though the place where I was hit hurt, it had a thorough meaning.
happy!
But when he thought about eating, he felt very hungry again.
Zhang Han couldn't help but mutter to himself, could it be that the reason why he was not as strong as the old man just now was because he didn't eat enough?
It was getting late, he checked his phone and it was already 11pm.
He then walked towards the Luo family villa while dialing Luo Siya's number.
After a while, the call was connected, and Luo Siya's lazy voice rang out, "Hello, why did you call me just now? What were you doing... I was already asleep..."
"I've read a lot... I'm on my way to your house..." Zhang Han said.
"It's really annoying. I'll open the door for you and go straight to the second floor after you come in... Forget it, I'll go downstairs to pick you up..." Luo Siya said.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Han quickly arrived at the gate of the villa .
The closed door opened automatically, Zhang Han stepped in, and the door closed automatically again.
When I entered the villa, I saw Luo Siya wearing a black nightgown. She looked very conservative and quite thick.
Luo Siya dozed off and said, "Everyone is asleep, come upstairs with me."
"Wait..." Zhang Han said immediately.
"Is there anything wrong?" Luo Siya asked.
"I'm hungry." Zhang Han said.
"It's not like you haven't eaten, why are you hungry so soon?" Luo Siya said a little unhappily.
After all, who doesn’t feel grumpy when waking up?
Zhang Han frowned and said, "Just look at the dining atmosphere in your house. Everyone's nose is not a nose, and their face is not a face... Who can eat here..."
"Whose family are you talking about?" Luo Siya said angrily.
"Okay, okay... let's not talk about that... are there any leftovers? I'll go get some to eat myself..." Zhang Han said.
This time it was Luo Siya's turn to frown. Tell me what nonsense you said at the dinner table before, which made my family lose a person. Now we have to eat again, do you still treat yourself as an outsider?
"I admire you! " Luo Siya said, "Come with me to the restaurant!"
In fact, there are two nannies at home. If you want to have a midnight snack at night, just tell them.
But no one was eating late at night. It was Zhang Han's first visit, but he wanted to have a midnight snack. If the first and third wives heard about it, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for the second wife?
