one punch

After the second semester started, Jiang Ran didn't see Dou Tianxiao for a long time. On Friday, he specially bought two bottles of drinks and waited at the door of the small shop, but in the end he drank it by himself.

Learning is impossible learning.

Could it be that something happened at home again?

Jiang Ran felt a little strange, and ran to Grandpa's stall after school.

The school gate in the evening is the busiest time of the day. Grandpa’s booth is full of business, and the sweet potatoes are too late to bake. A dozen students and their parents are waiting by the booth, forming an arc-shaped queue, blocking Jiang Burning sight.

"Grandpa, is Xiaodouzi after school?" Jiang Ran stretched his neck and asked.

"Let's put it away, I left a few minutes earlier than you." Wearing thick gloves, the old man took out a baked black sweet potato and put it in a bag. "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat one?" ?”

"No, no, I'm not hungry," Jiang Ran waved his hand, "Then he went back to the noodle shop?"

"No, he went to Luyang Town." Grandpa said as he packed sweet potatoes for the guests, "Three yuan."

Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, "Why did he go to Lu Yang?"

"Practice boxing, he didn't tell you? —— Your three yuan and two, just give three yuan." Grandpa said to the customer with a smile.

Jiang Ran frowned, "He didn't tell me when did he go to practice boxing?"

"After the opening of the gym on Yangxi Street, he went there to practice boxing every day, even on weekends, as if to help distribute leaflets or something. Oh, Xiaoxi also went today, I thought they were both I told you." Grandpa said.

"Oh...that's it." Jiang Ran's heart skipped a beat, it was quite unpleasant - Dou Tianxiao would share with him all the big farts in the past.

Although Luyang Town and Xi Town are two towns, the meeting is not far away. After Jiang Ran said goodbye to his grandfather, he stepped on his bicycle and rushed to Yangxi Street. After parking the bicycle, he felt that he was really sick. Dou Tianxiao It's none of his business to practice or not to practice, it's really too busy!

But it's all here...

Jiang Ran locked the bicycle, turned around and walked into this newly opened gym.

The inside of the museum was much bigger than he had imagined. At a glance, it was about seven or eight hundred square meters. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a tall receptionist.

"Hello, are you here for fitness? We have a free trial class recently in the hall." The receptionist handed him a colorful leaflet, "This is the activity we are doing now. It's okay if you pay 1000 An extra swimming card worth 500 yuan..."

"I'm here to find someone." Jiang Ran said.

"Oh." The other party's attitude is still enthusiastic, "You can also visit it by the way, we also have a swimming pool and a boxing gym on the second and third floors."

"Thank you!" Jiang Ran nodded, rolled up the leaflet, and went straight to the third floor.

The area of ​​the third floor is the same as that of the first floor, except that it is divided into several rooms by transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. The room closest to the stairs is a small boxing arena. There will be three men in sportswear standing in the center, It looks like it should be a coach and two students.

There were more people in the second room. Eight boxing sandbags were hung on the heavy iron frame, and there were many standing sandbags. The students in shorts were sweating profusely.

Jiang Ran stood at the door and watched carefully for a while, but he still didn't see Ye Xi and Dou Tianxiao. Just as he was about to change rooms, he heard someone calling his name behind him.

It's Ye Xi.

"Why are you here?" Ye Xi spoke first.

"Uh..." Jiang Ran didn't know how to explain his passion, so he paused and said, "I'm passing by to buy materials, just take a look."

Ye Xi didn't have any doubts, "Then do you want to come in and take a look? Douzi is practicing boxing next door."

"Ah, okay," Jiang Ran nodded and asked, "Have you signed up for the course?"

"It's not me, it's Xiaodouzi." Ye Xi said.

"When did he register?" Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Jiang Ran saw that he was frantically hitting an 8x5-inch speed ball. He also practiced this thing when he was learning Sanda. It was used to control the swing force and punch. of speed.

At the beginning, it will be difficult to control, and it may even hit the face when it bounces, but judging by the agility of Dou Tianxiao's punches, he should have practiced for a while.

I didn't know anything about myself.

"Actually, I didn't sign up," Ye Xi said honestly, "Coach Yu said he could work to pay for his tuition, so he helped people distribute leaflets and sweep the floor. I came here today to help with work."

"Oh? That's not bad." Jiang Ran smiled.

Standing beside Dou Tianxiao was a man who was tall, more than 1.8 meters five by visual inspection, with a well-proportioned and slender figure, and his arm span was obviously longer than that of ordinary people. He was pulling a resistance rope with his back facing the wall.The resistance rope is different from ordinary ropes. It is composed of several strands combined together, requiring strong upper body strength. It is difficult for someone who has not practiced to pull it in such a posture. When he pulled it, he looked calm and did not look like it. effortless.

He even smiled at Dou Tianxiao.

The man didn't know what he said to Dou Tianxiao, Jiang Ran saw Dou Tianxiao walking over, with his back to the wall, trying to pull the two resistance ropes in the same posture.

I saw him biting his back molars forcibly, his eyebrows and facial features were all wrinkled, his mouth moved, he didn't know what he was talking about, and finally he was pulled back halfway by the force of the rope, and stuck to the wall. superior.

The two smiled face to face.

Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes and looked disgusted.

Are you so stupid to laugh?

He pushed open the glass door, and the two people inside looked at the door in unison.

"Brother!" Dou Tianxiao immediately let go of the rope in his hand, and the resistance rope bounced back to the wall with a "snap", hitting Yu Qingji's shoulder where he shook hands.

Hearing the voice, Dou Tianxiao turned his head abruptly, and saw Yu Qingji who was squinting his eyes and supporting his shoulders, and gasped, "Are you okay? I hit you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He knew the weight of the resistance rope and couldn't stop apologizing.

"It's okay." Yu Qingji's eyes fell on Jiang Ran.

Ye Xi made an introduction, "This is Yu Qingji, Shuanghengyu, Qingji of Jiyue Qingfeng, the son of the owner of this gym—this is the brother we played together since we were young, Jiang Ran, Burning... burning."

Both sides said "oh hello" at the same time, and did not intend to shake hands.

Such a comfortable and quiet noun such as Jiyue Qingfeng is a huge contrast to a muscular man.

Jiang Ran thought so in his heart, he didn't have the nerve to say it on the spot.

"Are you here for class too?" Yu Qingji asked.

"Are you the coach here?" Jiang Ran asked back.

"No, I just came here to have fun." Yu Qingji casually pulled the last resistance rope for two minutes.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came here?" Jiang Ran turned to look at Dou Tianxiao. He hadn't seen him for a while. He felt that Dou Tianxiao seemed to grow a little taller, and his face was a little fatter than before. Not his illusion.

"I'm afraid you won't be happy if I tell you..." Dou Tianxiao was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look him in the eyes.

"Why are you unhappy? I have nothing to be unhappy about." Jiang Ran said.

"Then I don't want to learn Sanda or boxing from you..." Dou Tianxiao leaned against the wall with his hands behind his back, as if he had made a big mistake, he still lowered his head, and his voice became lower and lower .

If Jiang Ran felt a little depressed because of what Dou Tianxiao had concealed from him before coming here, his eyebrows immediately relaxed after he said this.

However, due to the attitude of the other party who already knew his mistake, he decided to go online and teach a few words.

"Oh, if you don't tell me, I won't know for the rest of my life? I thought something happened again. I don't see you all the time. Don't you know that I will be worried? How long are you going to hide from me if I don't come here? ?”

Dou Tianxiao raised his eyes and glanced at him, "I'll hide it until I can't hide it anymore. One more day is a day, but I didn't expect you to come here so soon..."

"It's really embarrassing to you, what you practice is none of my business, I just stopped by to buy materials and take a look at this newly opened store." Jiang Ran put his hands in his pockets and pretended to look around, "The decoration here is good, The location is also good, surrounded by residential areas, the business must be good, very good."

"It's okay." Yu Qingji answered.

At this time, the glass door was pushed open again, and Jiang Ran recognized that it was the receptionist he met downstairs just now, and saw the receptionist walking straight towards him.

"Oh, I found you," the beauty receptionist handed over a card with a smile, "Hey, let's see if you dropped it just now."

Jiang Ran froze for a moment, took his bus card, and tapped to thank him.

"You're welcome, I just fell on the other side of the stairs. I called you for a long time and you didn't answer me, and you ran away in no time." The receptionist asked with a smile, "Did you find the person you said you were looking for?"

Jiang Ran, who happened to be passing by while buying materials: "..."

Dou Tianxiao chuckled, and said leisurely: "Brother, who are you looking for?"

Jiang Ran raised his voice in vain, "I live by the sea, the pipe is so wide, hurry up and practice yours, even if you can't pull a resistance rope, feel free to come here with me hehehe, it's embarrassing, don't tell others that you have practiced Sanda - I'm leaving!"

"I'll see you off." Dou Tianxiao chased after him.

Jiang Ran pressed his forehead and shoulders and twisted back, "No need, I have eyes and I can find my way."

"Then slow down on your way." Dou Tianxiao turned around and waved his hands with a smile.

"I'm riding a bicycle, not a Hot Wheels, so I can't go fast," Jiang Ran turned around after pushing the door and said, "Practice hard, and I'll play with you when I'm on vacation."

"Obey!" Dou Tianxiao laughed out two pointed little canine teeth.

Although Dou Tianxiao is so poor that he can't even make a sound, but fortunately he still has a pair of diligent hands. Whenever he has time, he will come to the gym to work as a handyman.

Of course, the meaning of handyman is that there is work wherever there is work, sweeping the floor, mopping the floor and cleaning windows, distributing leaflets and carrying sundries, plus practicing boxing for a few hours, the calf is shaking from exhaustion after a day, and it will be impossible to lie on the bed within 5 minutes. sleep.

But also because of this, he feels that his life has been enriched a lot.

After persisting for a period of time, his appetite gradually increased, and he had to stuff two full bowls for every meal, and in the evening after school, he would rub a piece of corn on the grandfather's stall.

A lot of training has made Dou Tianxiao's muscles tighter and stronger, and his strength has reached an amazing level.

He could easily lift the Eight Immortals table in the noodle shop and carry it on his shoulders with just one hand. Once he was asked to split a stick bone, and he just split the cutting board at home in half with a single knife.

Fate in life is very strange, just when he felt that he was fully prepared to face the storm, there were rumors on the street that Pan Xufeng and his gang had gotten involved.

I don't know the exact reason. I only know that it has something to do with the owner of a steamed bun shop on the street. Some people say that the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop was beaten to death by them, while others say that he was beaten into a vegetable state.

Dou Tianxiao was passing by on his way to school, and saw that the rolling door of the steamed stuffed bun shop was closed all the time, and a transfer notice was posted half a month later.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that he might be lucky.
