Chapter 78 I Want to Learn Qigong

  He was a kind-hearted person, seeing others happy made him happy too. He said to Xiao Xiao: "Take back your things and be happy, don't worry, come sit down and have a cup of tea, take a break." He beckoned Xiao Xiao to his side with his hand, while quickly pouring a cup of tea with one hand and placing it steadily on the table.

  Xiao Xiao, facing Ge Shi's invitation, jumped off his bicycle and came to the table, sat down with one leg crossed, politely picked up the tea cup. He swirled the tea leaves, let out some of the heat, lightly sipped a cup of hot tea, before saying: "You don't know, do you? There are 200,000 yuan in this handbag."

  "Oh? Is that so?" Gai Shi was a person who viewed wealth as dirt, and upon hearing Xiao Xiao mention the 200,000 yuan inside, he responded lightly and didn't seem interested in the money at all. He changed the subject and asked: "You're a student, right?"

  "Yes. My name is Xiao Xiao." As a courtesy, Xiao Xiao first reported her own name and said she was a student of Nongda.

  "Oh? My name is Gai Shi, I suppose you know that already. Ah, Nong Da (Agricultural University). Gai Shi held his tea cup, looking distracted and regretful: "That was my dream school, but my liberal arts scores were too low, so I couldn't get in. Thinking about it now, those students are really something else. But I'm not that lucky. Since I don't have the luck, forcing it won't work either."

  "Life?" Xiao Xiao recalled that he didn't get into the Academy of Fine Arts and ended up in an agricultural university, feeling like he had lost his status. He was so disappointed that he drank alone on the streets and slept there. Who would have thought that someone else considered this agricultural university their dream, striving to get in, and regretting not being able to attend?

  Everyone's dreams are really different.

  For dreams, everyone has their own disappointment.

  However, Xiao Xiao heard that students from Tianjing who take the university entrance exam in Tianjing generally score much lower than those from outside of Tianjing.

  Even so, Gai Shi didn't get into Agricultural University? Then his academic performance was really poor.

  It's no wonder others would think this way.

  Xiao Xiao asked Gai Shi: "Why do you have to sell your art? Can't you find another job?" In his opinion, Gai Shi was young and strong, and could do anything without getting tired. Moreover, he knew martial arts, so being a security guard or doing logistics work would also be enough to make a living.

  It's not as tiring as performing on the street, where you're hungry one day and full the next. Moreover, the performances are all dangerous stunts, and if you're not careful, you'll get hurt.

  "Why sell art? It's because I don't have money, of course. Find another job? What job? Once you go to work, you'll be controlled by others. I'm a straightforward person who doesn't like being controlled. If I don't get along with someone, I'll take action. Once I take action, those people will either die or be injured. You want me to find a job? It's easier for me to go kill someone."

  "Hehe, still a freelancer. Loves to fantasize, loves freedom." Xiao Xiao had heard since childhood from TV that Tianjing people were rich and oily, with villas and cars in every household. With an arrogant attitude, they never put outsiders in their eyes.

  However, having just passed by several places, I also saw some houseless and carless Tianjing people complaining about nothing, was what I heard before wrong?

  Is this world really as you imagined it?

  He smiled and said to Gai Shi Dao, "No money? Won't be, no need to say more. I heard that the house price in Tianjing is 700,000 to 800,000 per square meter, and after demolition, each household can get 18 million? Is it that your family didn't demolish?"

  Needless to say Tianjing City, even Xiaoxiao's hometown Changhaishi has also become a trend of demolition and relocation. Xiaoxiao's old house is about to be demolished too, it's said that the compensation is quite generous.

  Xiao Xiao's mother has given orders that the demolition compensation money is not to be used by anyone, it's specifically for Xiao Xiao to use when he gets married.

  He burst out laughing and said, "Demolition? You think anyone can be demolished. My family lives at the foot of the Imperial City Mountain, living in a four-in-one courtyard house. The terrain is neither inside nor outside. Yes, 800 years ago, I heard that it was going to be demolished, but now there is no accurate news, and I don't know when it will be demolished." He felt that Xiao Xiao, an outsider, really didn't know the hardships of Tianjing people.

  Many things are like this, donkey dung wrapped in a shiny package.

  "My god. A traditional courtyard house. Such a large antique building. A national protected cultural relic. If it's demolished, it would be worth tens of millions.

  Xiao Xiao gazed up at the sky and sighed: "Even if we don't demolish it, renting out the courtyard house would bring in at least tens of thousands of yuan per month. It's really awesome."

  It has been heard from the internet that for people who come to work in Beijing, finding a rental house is a big problem. Because of the constant rise in housing prices, these workers are constantly moving houses and are sarcastically called "ants tribe".

  If Gai Shi's family could rent out the quadrangle courtyard at a lower price to those who earn less, wouldn't that be making money while doing some good deeds? How great would that be.

  Gai Shi waved his hand and said, "Of course I know this. I also discussed the rental issue with Grandfather before. He said that no one except those with the surname Gai is allowed to live in this siheyuan. He said that outsiders would defile the ancestral home. Even people from other parts of Tianjing City are not allowed, let alone those who are not from Tianjing."

  He let out a cold laugh and said, "I'm done, you've started licking faces on the street to sell your skills, what's with the act? You're also xenophobic. Your grandfather, this old man, really has some nerve. It can be said that he's guarding his rice bowl."

  Although Xiao Xiao said so on the surface, he could still understand the old man's persistence and stubbornness.

  The old man has lived in his home all his life, and has been with his family for a lifetime. Who would want to let outsiders live in their own home at this age?

  Gai sighed and reminisced, "To tell the truth, my family wasn't originally from Tianjing either. My ancestors came from a place famous for martial arts during the Kangxi era and arrived here, relying on their exceptional skills in archery and horseback riding to become escorts and gradually build up our wealth. It was through the connections of Gong Wang that my ancestors were able to acquire this courtyard house."

  Sighing at the fleeting nature of time, under this vast sky, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed.

  The sky is still the sky, the earth is still the earth, but in this world of human emotions, countless generations have come and gone.

  Xiao Xiao didn't want to get sentimental, so he immediately turned to Gai Shi and said: "Since it's like this, why don't you just play big? With your incredible kung fu skills, you can be a bodyguard for the beauties, celebrities, and rich women in Tianjing City. You'll have money to spend and romantic encounters, isn't that awesome?"

  Kai Shi was only twenty years old, in the prime of his youth, and naturally interested in sex, a topic young people loved to discuss. He heard Xiao Xiao say this and chuckled: "This can be considered. Unfortunately, it's just that there is no one to guide us."

  "It's not just about having no one to guide you. Now that there's no one around, can you tell me whether your skills in selling your art are real or fake? If they're real, I can find you a job as a bodyguard, but if you really encounter a situation, don't run away with your tail between your legs." Xiao Xiao was still curious about Ge Shi's flying needles, lightness skill, and needle threading.

  "Of course it's true." Ge Shi patted his chest proudly and said. After he finished speaking, seeing Xiao Xiao's face full of disbelieving expressions, he coldly smiled and secretly mobilized the true energy within his body. Suddenly, he stretched out his right arm in front of Xiao Xiao and loudly shouted: "Bite, bite wherever you want."

  "Bite? How to bite? With teeth?" Xiao Xiao looked at his thick arm, healthy skin, slightly rough. He let himself bite, could it be that he wanted him to bite like biting a pig's trotter? If so, his sharp teeth would have to bite his arm into mashed tofu.

  "Use all your might and grit your teeth." Gai's face burst out with blue veins, biting his back teeth, letting Xiao exert himself.

  "What if I bite badly?" Xiao Xiao was always very confident in his sharp teeth, he thought that with a few bites of his teeth, he could pierce through the world's strongest shield.

  "If you can break it, I won't just not ask you to compensate me, but I'll also give you today's reward." Gai Shi threw the iron plate in front of Xiao Xiao with his left hand.

  Actually, there's hardly any money inside, just enough to buy two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes.

  "Good." Xiao Xiao was a person who didn't know politeness, he made up his mind to bite Gai Shi thoroughly. He opened his mouth wide, and the white teeth suddenly became very sharp, biting down on Gai Shi's arm. As soon as he bit down, he immediately let go and spat out saliva vigorously beside him.

  "What's wrong?" Gai Shi didn't understand why Xiao Xiao was like this?

  "My god, your arm is so salty. Didn't you sweat a lot when you were practicing martial arts earlier? It's really salty, just like stinky tofu. I don't know how to bite into it. Can you give me two dumplings first and let me eat them with this?" Xiao Xiao said fearfully, covering her nose from the smell on Ge Shi's arm.

  "Hah." Gai Shi smiled and picked up a cup of tea beside him, splashing it onto his arm to clean it, then let him bite again.

  Xiao Xiao saw that his arm was clean, so he boldly used all his strength and bit down on both rows of teeth onto his arm.

  He thought his two rows of teeth would be like eating braised pork belly, tearing off a piece of flesh from Gai Shi's arm.

  But unexpectedly, as soon as he took a bite, it was like biting into a bicycle tire that had been pumped up too much. His upper and lower teeth applied force, but slid down along the smooth skin.

  Xiao Xiao was extremely surprised, from various angles, with varying degrees of force, using his different shaped teeth to bite against Jie Shi's arm, but the results were all like biting into rubber, naturally sliding open.

  I'm tired enough myself, no need for others' nonsense.

  Until he spat out a mouthful of saliva, Xiao Xiao finally raised his head and said tiredly: "Awesome, really awesome, it's indeed the legendary qigong. Knives can't cut him, needles can't pierce him, it's really amazing."

  Xiao Xiao began to admire Gai Shi's true kung fu skills with utmost sincerity.

  "Hmph, now you know, huh." Gai Shi sneered twice, seeing the saliva on his arm, feeling extremely disgusted, and quickly picked up a cup of tea to rinse off the saliva.

  "Can I learn this, your qigong?" Xiao Xiao's eyes were wide with admiration as he stared at Gai Shi opposite him, thinking to himself whether he could ask him to be his master. If he could learn this legendary qigong and combine it with his own cleverness and awesome aura, he would definitely be invincible in the world.

  "Anyone can learn, anyone can practice qigong, but you must be a virgin boy. If you're a lecher who's deflowered countless women, don't even think about it." Gai Shi said with a soft smile, thinking that Xiao Xiao, with his eccentric personality and attire, was certainly depraved and had probably slept with numerous young women already. Telling him to be a virgin boy was simply an insult.
