Chapter 12 Apprenticeship to Fist of Fury
After leaving the clinic, Xin Han looked at the sutured wound on his leg with satisfaction. He had to say that the clinic the rickshaw driver found was really good. The combination of Chinese and Western medicines could suture the wound, so that he could recover within a few days.
The young man who attacked the Japanese fat man last night was Xin Han who had just arrived in this world. He was injured on his leg, but he had no money for medical treatment, so he could only find some things to do by robbing the rich and helping the poor. No, some gift money is always good, so the Japanese have become the first choice.
That Japanese fat man is really worth a lot of money. He didn't have oceans and Japanese yen on him, and he had a thick stack of pounds, which roughly counted at twenty thousand. Japan deserves to be beaten to death. The stick made of fine steel is not a vegetarian. The next thing is to go to Jingwumen to learn from a master.
After a night of recuperation, and the wound has been stitched up, walking is no longer so difficult for him, even if he walks slowly, it will not let people see his feet.
Looking at the tattered clothes, Xin Han first found a foreign clothing store, and took a few pounds on the counter under the eyes of the clerk looking at the homeless man. He was treated by God immediately, and changed into a suitable suit soon after. Suit.
Seeing himself in the mirror who was a hundred times more energetic than before, Xin Han smiled with satisfaction.
"Outsider, outsider, the hero Huo Yuanjia is buried today, and the famous boxer will challenge Jingwumen this afternoon."
Is it too late? Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Xin Han frowned slightly. He originally wanted to stop Huo Yuanjia's martial arts competition. It seems that the plot begins as soon as he enters this world. The current Chen Zhen should have gotten news in Japan, right? , will return to Shanghai in a few days.
Although it was only in the movie world, Xin Han still felt sorry for Huo Yuanjia's death. A generation of masters could not escape the plot of the Japanese after all.
I don't know what to give to the funeral in this era, but Xin Han still bought some ingots and incense candles, asked passers-by to find out the location of Jingwumen, and chose Huo Yuanjia to visit after he was buried.
Huo Yuanjia's death is a big event in Shanghai, but apart from his lifelong friends, it can be said that the prosperous Jingwumen in the past is now empty.
Because all the people in Shanghai know that Master Huo, who was invincible in Jinmen back then, lost to the Japanese.
When Xin Han came to Jingwumen, there was a white sail hanging in front of the door, and only one disciple stood at the door with his head downcast. Seeing someone visiting, he hurried forward: "May I ask who you are?"
Xin Han cupped his fists: "Xin Han made a special trip back from abroad to learn martial arts from Master Huo. I didn't expect such a thing to happen to Master Huo, so I came here to express my condolences."
Seeing that Xin Han was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he seemed to be a person of status, and he had come to express his condolences to his master, which made him feel good, so he politely replied: "So it's Mr. Xin, just call me A Biao, I'm Jing." Disciple of Wumen, please come inside, I will introduce you to the senior brother."
"Brother, there is a gentleman from a foreign country who wants to mourn Master." After entering the Fist of Fury, A Biao told Xin Han to wait a while, and went to report by himself.
"A visitor is a guest, please come inside the guest."
Xin Han knew that the speaker must be Huo Yuanjia's son Huo Tingen, and whether he could enter Jingwumen to practice martial arts was up to his decision, so he straightened his clothes immediately, and walked into the hall of Jingwumen with a gift.
In the center of the hall is Huo Yuanjia's portrait, surrounded by incense candles. Among a group of disciples, a young and handsome man is standing in the center. Beside him is an uncle dressed as a businessman looking at him suspiciously. He knows that these two people are Huo Tingen And Nong Jinsun.
Xin Han arched his hands: "Xin Han has long admired Master Huo's reputation,
I didn't expect to hear the news of Master Huo's death just after returning to China, hey... ".
"Please give condolences to everyone." Xin Han rubbed his eyes with his fingers that had been dipped in chili water before, his eyes turned red immediately, and tears fell down without any money.
His crying immediately infected many people, and many disciples couldn't help crying together, and at the same time, they all had a good impression of Xin Han.
A disciple came up to accept Xin Han's gift, the gift money: "Hey, take a look, senior brother."
Huo Tingen and Nong Jinsun were stunned at the same time. Xin Han's gift was not only full of gifts, but also rich in gift money. There was a thick stack of banknotes with an unknown foreign old man printed on it.
"This is?" Huo Tingen was a little puzzled, what kind of gift money is this gift?
Nong Jinsun took a deep breath: "This is British pounds, which is British money."
A disciple asked curiously, "Is British money worth much?"
"It's very valuable, enough to buy several Fist of Fury." Nong Jinsun said, and the other disciples gasped at the same time.
"Mr. Xin, isn't this too much?" Huo Tingen was a little shocked, not knowing whether the money should be taken or not.
"Hey~ I'll talk about the gift money later. Since you are here to pay homage to Yuan Jia, let this brother offer incense to Yuan Jia first." Nong Jinsun stopped Huo Tingen.
Fist of Fury is now in a critical moment. After leaving the original disciples, there is no one who comes to practice martial arts, so there is no source of income. Such a sum of money can just help Fist to tide over the difficulties. As for whether it can be accepted It depends on the purpose of young people coming here.
"Incense, please!" A disciple handed over the incense candles. According to the rules, those who come to pay respects have to offer three sticks of incense and bow three times.
"Wait, I have something to say before offering incense."
Nong Jinsun had a serious look on his face. The amount of gift money was astonishing, so he knew that this young man must have something else to say.
"Oh? I don't know what's the matter with Mr. Xin, just tell me in person." Huo Tingen felt that Xin Han didn't seem like a troublemaker, but he couldn't guess what Xin Han came to.
"I have heard of Master Huo's reputation when I was in the UK. Back then, the Hercules who defeated Britain and Russia became famous abroad. I have long been yearning for it. This time, I sold my property and returned to China to worship Master Huo as my teacher. Learning martial arts."
When he told about the proud things in Huo Yuanjia's life, all the disciples of Jingwumen felt proud, and Huo Tingen's affection for Xin Han increased greatly.
"I have an unfeeling request. I don't know if I can worship Master Huo as a teacher and let me bow down as a disciple." Xin Han sincerely proposed the idea of being a teacher.
"How can this be done, my father has passed away, this..." Huo Tingen was stunned and was about to refuse but was stopped by Nong Jinsun.
"Why not? I think it's not easy for this little brother. He traveled thousands of miles to come back from abroad. He even sold his property and you still let him go back." Nong Jinsun shook his head and felt that Huo Tingen didn't know how to work around.
"But..."
"It's nothing to worry about. Since the little brother is sincere, you can take your father's place as an apprentice and let him stay and practice martial arts in Jingwumen."
Now Xin Han really wants to hug this old man and kiss him fiercely, it's so awesome, wouldn't he become a senior brother with Chen Zhen?
He was not stupid, and he still knew how to use the donkey to go down the slope, so he immediately bowed his hands and saluted: "See you, big brother."
Huo Tingen looked at the pound in his hand, and remembered that the woman he liked was still waiting for money to redeem her body. Since she came here for her father's name, it made sense to accept disciples on behalf of her father.
"Okay, today I will accept my apprentice on behalf of my father, and I will accept you as my father Huo Yuanjia's closed disciple. You can stay and learn Kung Fu in the future. This gift money can be considered as tuition fees."
"Xin Han, Huo Laosi's closed disciple, stepped forward to worship." As Huo Yuanjia's friend, Nong Jinsun was the only elder here, so he drank the apprentice tea instead of Huo Yuanjia.
Xin Han respectfully kowtowed three times to Huo Yuanjia's portrait, burned three sticks of incense, and had no resistance at all to Huo Yuanjia's kneeling down to him. Don't talk about national heroes, Huo Gong's martial spirit is worth it These few ring his heads.
"Xin Han has met all the senior brothers and sisters." After paying homage to the master, Xin Han is regarded as a member of Jingwumen. A group of senior brothers are very enthusiastic about him and arranged a place for him.
Xin Han's enthusiasm soon won the favor of his fellow apprentices, and Huo Tingen and Nong Jinsun also looked at him differently.
Knowing that Xin Han's thigh was injured, Huo Tingen specially took out Jingwumen's wound medicine to re-treat the wound for him. After two days, the wound was basically healed. Huo Yuanjia's old friend who came here.
On the third day after he joined Jingwumen, the head of Hebei Nijiaquan came to visit.
"Brother A Biao, is this Master Ni a friend of the master? Why does he look murderous?" Xin Han asked in a low voice from behind the crowd.
A Biao curled his lips: "What kind of friend, you just want to challenge our Fist of Fury Sect to earn some fame while the master just went, well, you stay here and watch, I have to go to the door and wait for the guests."
"This is the person who sent the challenge letter a few days ago. Those who are not kind will not come." The female disciple Xiaohui sighed, her eyes were full of worry.
"Be smart, boy, let's see how the elder brother teaches him." The speaker patted Xin Han's chest.
This person is called Ah Xiang. Xin Han, who knows the plot, knows that he is the traitor of Jingwumen, so he has no affection for him at all, so he just nodded and didn't speak.
At this moment, Xin Han didn't pay attention to how Huo Tingen was talking with that master Ni, but glanced at the door from time to time, because he knew that Chen Zhen was coming back soon.
