"I have an idea of what we can do next!"
"……What?"
"You see, Yuzhi hasn't gained the ability yet, and my sacrificial ability is biased towards assisting. That is to say, if we encounter any danger, we can only rely on Jing Xing now, right?"
"That's true..."
Yan Jingxing nodded.
If nothing else, as the only boy among the three, he has gained the status of a "warrior" and is already mentally prepared for battle at any time.
"I see……!"
Xie Yuzhi's eyes also lit up.
"This matter is indeed very important. The reason why we decided to find the 'element body' first was for the same reason. We should first help Jing Xing explore his own abilities."
Her eyes turned to the boys.
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Um……"
Yan Jingxing held his chin and began to think. After a while, facing the expectant eyes of the girls, he slowly said:
"Yu Zhi said before that a 'warrior' is a person who uses weapons. This inspired me. The goal of finding the missing 'body' seems a bit far away, but it doesn't mean that I can't use other weapons." weapons."
"oh?"
Miss Xie nodded with satisfaction.
"Indeed, weapons! This is a very good idea. So what weapons do you think you need? I will help prepare it. Except for guns, which may be difficult to get, general controlled knives are also acceptable."
…
Wait, wait a minute, Miss, did you say something strange just now?
"No, it's not to that extent..."
Yan Jingxing quickly shook his head.
"I have considered this matter carefully. I am still in adolescence, my body has not yet fully developed, and my physical fitness has not been enhanced by the ability itself."
He quickly punched forward, making a "whoosh" sound.
"It's difficult to gain an advantage in close combat with opponents, and it's very dangerous. I think throwing weapons are more suitable for me."
Xie Yuzhi thought for a moment with her brows raised, and then she seemed to have found the answer she wanted. She relaxed her brows and said to Yan Jingxing:
"Then, I'll take you to meet someone."
*
In fact, they all knew the person Xie Yuzhi was talking about. He was the driver of the eldest lady's family, a man named Liu Tie.
According to Yuzhi, it was the driver and bodyguard her father sent to protect her since she left home alone.
Liu Tie is a retired soldier and a Sanda coach at a Kung Fu gym in the city. He is quite famous in the boxing circle.
"I thought about it and thought it would be better for professionals to handle this kind of thing."
Xie Yuzhi explained.
"That makes sense."
So they sat in the hall and waited. After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and Liu Tie finally arrived.
"You have something to do with me?"
The man's gaze passed across the faces of Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao calmly, as if he was wondering where these two people came from.
"Yes."
Xie Yuzhi replied.
"I hope you can provide some advice on which weapon is suitable for him to use, and I will help prepare it."
As she said that, she pointed at Yan Jingxing.
"……arms?"
Liu Tie looked at Yan Jingxing's overly young face and couldn't help but smile.
"Is this your classmate? Is he still a junior high school student?"
"certainly."
"For junior high school students, are there any situations where weapons are needed? I think if you really need help, it is better not to think about doing it yourself first, but to discuss it with the teacher and parents first. If the matter is too difficult, it is still too late to call the police."
"You don't need to think about this topic."
Xie Yuzhi's tone was light.
"My friend is used to solving problems by himself. He is very powerful and can handle it all by himself."
Yan Jingxing felt a little complicated when he heard her introduce himself in such a serious manner.
He had no choice but to strain his expression and put on a serious look, trying to act like the attitude he imagined a mysterious master with great skills should have.
If he were older, he might really be able to try to play the role of a cool guy with a mysterious past; but the problem is that Yan Jingxing is too young, so no adults will take him seriously.
Of course Liu Tie doesn't know either. In his opinion, this kind of thing was more like playing house with a child. He couldn't help laughing and shook his head.
It seems that although the eldest lady's behavior is more mature than that of her peers, she is still just a child after all.
"Okay, I understand."
Liu Tie nodded. He had no reason and no way to refuse.
Xie Yuzhi is the only daughter of the boss of Jianyan Group, and since the boss only has a child, she naturally values her very highly. It is not an exaggeration to say that this girl is the princess of the entire group.
In other words, no matter how she fooled around, Liu Tie could only bite the bullet and accompany her.
Fortunately, Xie Yuzhi is not some eccentric and hard-to-please second generation. On the contrary, as a junior high school student, she can be said to be overly sensible. Liu Tie often feels lucky for this.
As for her two friends...
Liu Tie looked at Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao again, and had some concerns in his mind.
"Everyone, let's go to a suitable place first. There is nothing usable here."
He smiled and pointed behind him with his thumb.
"Let's go, get in the car."
*
Cars race in the dark.
The scenery along the road was reflected on the windows and passed by in his field of vision.
Yan Jingxing, who was sitting in the back row, finally couldn't help but ask:
"Uncle Liu, where are we going?"
"Well...it can be considered my secret base."
"Secret base?" Yan Jingxing was stunned for a moment. The word sounded familiar. "It sounds like a place for children to play..."
"Haha!" Liu Tie laughed and replied, "Everyone wants to hide things and is unwilling to show them to the outside world. Therefore, some adults also have their own secret bases."
"Is it that boxing gym?"
Xie Yuzhi seemed to remember something.
"That's right. That boxing gym was almost out of business because it couldn't recruit students. Later, I invested a lot of money to save it. No one goes to the remote place anyway, so I just use it to store things and entertain guests. Now. Now, it can be regarded as a gathering place for nearby fighting enthusiasts."
As he spoke, he turned the steering wheel and drove the car into a small road.
After arriving at the place, Yan Jingxing finally understood why the boxing gym Liu Tie said could not be opened.
Even a student like him who has never been in society can see how strange it is to open a boxing gym in a place like this on the outskirts of a city and close to a village.
Will anyone really come?
Seemingly noticing his doubts, Liu Tie explained with a smile:
"The person who runs this boxing gym was originally born in the village. Later he went to distant places and returned to his hometown when he was old. The people who came here in the past were basically his disciples and grandchildren, and they were related to the village. Acquaintances. But in recent years, all the young people in the village have gone to work in the city, so naturally there have been fewer people coming..."
Everyone goes up the stairs. There are still people in the boxing gym at the moment, and a dim yellow light shines through the gap in the big red wooden door. As you get closer, you can hear shouts and fierce fighting sounds coming from inside.
As soon as Liu Tie pushed the door open and walked in, several men wearing protective gear and sweating profusely turned their heads. When they saw him, they greeted him warmly.
"Hello, senior brother!"
"Hello, senior brother!"
While saying hello, they also noticed that there were three young people following Liu Tie, and subconsciously took a few more glances.
The two little girls are both born beauties, they are cute and easy to attract attention. Especially since Xie Yuzhi was still wearing the dress that she had not had time to change out of, it seemed even more out of place in this dilapidated boxing gym.
"It's all good, it's all good." Liu Tie waved his hand with a smile, "You guys just practice, I'll bring the guests over to have a look."
He led the young men to a door deep in the boxing gym. After opening it, you can see that there is a warehouse inside, which is filled with various equipment and tools, and several iron racks are piled up.
"I have useful self-defense tools here. Come and take a look. But some of them may be more dangerous. If you want to use them, I will keep an eye on them..."
While Liu Tie was making introductions, Yan Jingxing turned around and looked at the figures training intensely in the hall not far behind him.
His eyes first fell on each person in turn, and finally, they fell on one of the sandbags that no one cared about.
He stared at it tightly, and his mind began to picture him punching the sandbag and making it shake violently.
The boy's fists were clenched unconsciously, and his mind was clear, as if there was only one target left in his eyes; at the same time, Yan Jingxing could feel the muscles all over his body tightening, like a The mechanical device with good clockwork and well-adjusted gears on the stage is in urgent need of action.
At this time, Miss Xie beside him seemed to notice something strange about him, tugged on his sleeve and asked in a low voice.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"……nothing."
Yan Jingxing let out a breath and exited from the wonderful state just now.
"Did you just activate your 'warrior instinct'?"
Xie Yuzhi looked at the top of his head, and there was white heat coming out.
"That's right. I wanted to try to see if it could work on dead objects, and it turned out to be really effective."
"Really? That's very convenient."
After thinking for a moment, Miss Xie suddenly suggested:
"By the way, do you want to try using your 'warrior' ability against Uncle Liu Tie?"
"Ah?" Yan Jingxing was stunned for a moment, "Let's forget it, I'm an adult."
…
While they were whispering, Liu Tie's eyes quietly fell on the boy and he began to carefully observe the boy's appearance and features.
Well, he has a healthy physique, neither fat nor thin...but not particularly strong, and there are no obvious signs of training.
What does the eldest lady mean by "awesome"?
Junior high school students are still in the developmental stage. Unless they are really talented, it is difficult to say how good their physical fitness will be compared to adults, let alone compared to someone like him who has received specialized training.
Now, Liu Tie fell into deep thought.
He was thinking about one thing, which was a... small "task" assigned to him by his boss.
He was sent by Xie Yuzhi's father to protect her, but when he said "protect", he also meant "watch".
After all, Xie Yuzhi is a very independent person. The fourteen-year-old girl is willing to live alone away from her family, but her father is afraid that she will be affected by some bad influence in school, so he keeps an eye on him.
During this period, the eldest lady made two very close friends in the same grade. Their relationship warmed up very quickly and they were tired of being together almost every day. Naturally, Liu Tie knew this news and had witnessed it with his own eyes.
One of them is a little girl with a lively personality, which is okay, but the other is a boy, and there may be a risk of "leading the young lady astray."
After Liu Tie reported the situation to his boss, Xie Yuzhi's father's instructions were:
——"Let that boy pay attention."
The boss didn't have any intention of "beating up the couple". He probably felt that it was hard for the eldest lady to make friends. If he drove her away forcefully, Xie Yuzhi, who had a strong personality, might fall out with her.
But the term "pay attention" is very subtle. To what extent is "paying attention"? How to grasp the appropriateness?
All in all, the problem was thrown to Liu Tie, his subordinate.
He felt a little troubled. It seems that the relationship between the young people is really close. Maybe this boy may become the eldest lady in the future...
No, you can't think like this. Liu Tie shook his head subconsciously. They were still children, and the future was uncertain.
But at least now, he knows that Xie Yuzhi really values this friend of the opposite sex.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to deliberately provoke or hurt the other party, otherwise Xie Yuzhi would definitely hate him.
Could it be that if the boss can't afford to offend him, then the eldest lady can? In the end, only wage earners like him will be the unlucky ones.
Liu Tie wanted to sigh.
But there was no way, the boss had given his word after all, he couldn't do nothing.
When he heard the eldest lady's proposal to let the boy try it with him, although he thought it was ridiculous, and with his character, he would naturally not be able to do something like "bullying a small one with a big one" - but then Liu Tie had an idea, Found this to be a good opportunity indeed.
The most important thing is that if you don't show any shame, it means that you have really worked hard, and you are not sorry for the boss's entrustment, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Tie no longer hesitated. After pretending to cough, he quickly walked to them.
"I heard from the eldest lady that you are very powerful, and I'm really curious. Little brother, do you want to have a game?"
...To actually say this to a junior high school student, it's really a shame you said it so well. Yan Jingxing complained in his heart, shook his head in rejection, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey, it's okay, let's compare!"
As he spoke, Liu Tie showed a kind smile, opened his big hands full of calluses and veins, and grabbed Yan Jingxing's arm.
The speed of this grasp may seem normal, but it actually shows a lot of skill, and it takes someone with some eyesight to see through it.
Ordinary people would only feel that the other person's hand was approaching them. They could clearly see the process, but as soon as the god's arm was shaken, it was tightly bound and it was difficult to break free.
What's more, this kid's back is still facing him, so he is even less likely to miss.
As long as he can catch it and use some grappling skills, he can make the boy follow him to the stage obediently.
Of course, he won't do it seriously. It was really not difficult for him to control an unarmed junior high school student.
Liu Tie's intention was simply to embarrass the young man in front of the two girls.
This in itself is not a setback, but as a man, Liu Tie knows very well: the younger he is, the more he likes to show off in front of the opposite sex, because he also came from this age.
Junior high school students are the most sensitive period for self-esteem. It is enough to leave a deep enough impression on him. The other party also knows that he is the eldest lady's driver. As long as he is a little smarter, he will naturally know how to keep a distance.
But……
He stretched out his hand, but found nothing.
"Huh?"
Liu Tie was a little surprised, looking at Yan Jingxing who suddenly turned his waist and shoulders at the critical moment to avoid this attack.
The boy who turned around silently stared at the man's hand stretched out in the air. The calm but focused eyes made Liu Tie feel uncomfortable.
Then, Yan Jingxing lowered his eyebrows and replied softly:
"Okay, then please ask uncle to teach me a few tricks."
