Sandalwood marks

There are only a few cars and pedestrians passing by on the road in the early morning, and everything looks extremely quiet.The two dogs, Xiao Jin and Xiao Hei, came to the road, running back and forth in front of and behind Mu Tanhen, like wild horses that had escaped their cage.

Mu Tanhen took a deep breath, yes, the air at this time is fresher than in the evening, no wonder people choose this time to go out for exercise.When I walked into the park, I saw more people, all of whom got up early to exercise.Most of these people are over [-] years old, and there are not many young people in their [-]s like Mu Tanhen.

Mu Tanhen looked around at the people who were exercising early, and felt that running was the most suitable for exercising.

This open park is called Dongzhou Park. It was a low-lying reed beach 50 years ago. The low-lying area was gradually dug into a small lake. The small lake is also called Dongzhou Lake. It is the road around the lake, and tall and straight camphor trees are planted on both sides of the road.There were five or six people on the road around the lake jogging in the morning, and Mu Tanhen followed behind them, running at a leisurely pace.

It took about an hour to run around the road around the lake. After running around, Mu Tanhen was sweating all over, took off his coat and put it under his arm.Looking up at the sky, Mu Tanhen took out his old-fashioned mobile phone to check the time. It was still half an hour before the scheduled meeting with Gu Xin.It was too late to run around Dongzhou Lake again. After looking at the location of the sculpture in the park, Mu Tanhen walked towards a place with fitness equipment, planning to spend half an hour there.

The Dongzhou Park fitness equipment includes walking machines, big runners, waist spinners, and horizontal bars and parallel bars.There are walking machines, big runners, waist twisters and other facilities where people exercise. Only a man with short shaved hair is doing double-arm exercises on the horizontal bar and parallel bars.

The man is about 1.8 years old and about [-] meters tall. He only wears a black vest on his upper body and a pair of white sweatpants on his lower body.Exposed muscles on arms and vest.When Mu Tanhen came, the man had already done more than a dozen muscle-ups.

Usually doing double-arm movements requires enough explosive power. The man did more than 20 in one go, until he couldn't stand it and got off the horizontal bar.

"Hey, are you interested in going up for two?" The man took off a towel hanging from the parallel bars and wiped the sweat off his face.His coat is also hanging from the parallel bars.As early as Mu Tanhen stopped to watch, the man noticed it.

"Okay!" Mu Tanhen glanced at the muscles on the man's arm, eager to try in his eyes.The man in front of him is a rare human being with a healthy physique.

"I can hold up to 25 or [-] in a row, see how much you can hold." The man glanced at the muscles on his arm following Mu Tanhen's gaze, and smiled proudly.

Men are happy to show their strength to the same sex, and they are more willing to see that the same sex is not as good as themselves.Mu Tanhen's eagerness to try made the man think that a challenger had come.

The world record for horizontal bar double arms is 27 consecutive horizontal bar double arms held by Australians.It's quite a good result for a man to last 25 consecutively. This is almost reaching his limit. It's not that Mu Tanhen has been watching from the sidelines. Men usually stop when they reach [-].

Mu Tanhen imitated the men's method, first put his jacket on the parallel bars, and then walked under the horizontal bars, clasped his hands, raised his whole body until his waist touched the horizontal bars, and supported his body vertically with his arms.

Mu Tanhen's first muscle-up movement was not smooth at all, even irregular.When the man saw it, the corners of his mouth parted and his smile became brighter. It turned out that he was a rookie.

"It's not right here, you have to let your fingers grab a little forward, so that your palm is right on the bar, and the area above it will become larger."

Since he was a rookie, the man didn't care about the young man's similar challenge just now.The young man looks good and has a good body proportion. It is pleasing to the eye and makes people feel good about it involuntarily.Men are quite willing to guide.

After holding it for two or three, Mu Tanhen's movements became proficient, and it was already very smooth after holding it for fifteen or sixteen.

"Seventeen, eighteen..., alas, this one didn't work." The man felt sorry for Mu Tanhen.

After all, he hadn't practiced before, and Mu Tanhen was exhausted after seventeen double arms.Come down and rest on the horizontal bar.

"Not bad, you can make seventeen in one go."

A few people who were exercising nearby were attracted to watch. One of them patted Mu Tanhen on the shoulder to encourage him, and the other, who was stronger, hung himself on the horizontal bar to show off.The onlookers immediately counted the person.

In order not to disturb other people's movements, Mu Tanhen left the horizontal bar and walked under the parallel bars to catch his breath.

"Wipe off your sweat." The short-haired man handed Mu Tanhen a white towel.

"Oh." Mu Tanhen took the white towel and wiped off his sweat, and returned it to the man without saying thank you. (didn't think to say it at all)

The man looked at Mu Tanhen, took the towel and smiled, his eyes were much less enthusiastic.He took the clothes from the parallel bars and put them on his shoulders, ready to leave.

"I'll come early tomorrow, let's compare again." Mu Tanhen seriously challenged the man.

The man was stunned. When did the young man in front of him realize that he was trying to compare himself?I didn't show my face at all just now.

"Okay, I'll come here tomorrow." The man froze for a moment before answering.

"My name is Mu Tanhen, and I'll be here at six o'clock tomorrow." Mu Tanhen lowered his head and took out his phone to check the time. It was close to seven o'clock and went to the sculpture to wait for Gu Xin.

"Oh, my name is Li Kaiqing." Li Kaiqing stared blankly at the old-fashioned mobile phone in Mu Tanhen's hand. What era is this antique?

"Goodbye!" Mu Tanhen raised his hand and waved. He didn't expect to express his gratitude, but he still thought of saying goodbye. Kindergarten learned that when parents come to pick them up, children have to say to the kindergarten teacher once a day.

"Goodbye!" Li Kaiqing raised his hand and waved in a daze, watching the young man go away, with a smile in his eyes again.

Mu Tanhen ran to the sculpture, whistled, and called back Xiaojin Xiaohei who was running wild on the lawn, and Gu Xin also arrived.

Two people and two dogs went to the bun shop mentioned yesterday to eat Xiaolongbao.The steamed stuffed bun shop was doing very well, the shop was full of people, so Gu Xin and Mu Tanhen had to sit outside the shop.

First ordered four cages of steamed buns, one cage for two people and two dogs.Gu Xin was full after eating one cage of xiaolongbao, but Mu Tanhen and the two dogs were not full, so they ordered three more cages.

"Xiao Hei can really eat." Gu Xin stared at Xiao Hei's belly.The golden retriever has a big belly, and it is expected that it can eat two cages.Xiao Hei is a mixed-breed dog. It is thinner than ordinary dogs. Gu Xin is very afraid that Xiao Hei will burst his belly.

"Well, Xiao Hei can eat quite a lot." Mu Tanhen knew Xiao Hei's appetite.

"Now, raising two dogs is more expensive than raising two people, and the family is rich and can't afford it." The aunt of the steamed stuffed bun shop brought rice soup to the two, and interrupted after hearing the conversation.Rice soup is free, and every customer who comes to consume has it.

Mu Tanhen himself has to be supported by others, his family background has nothing to do with wealth, and the aunt who talks casually seems to be sarcastic.

Gu Xin immediately went to look at Mu Tanhen, Mu Tanhen lowered his head, playing with the steamed buns with chopsticks.After a while, Mu Tanhen looked up at Gu Xin. "Gu Xin, is massage good to learn? Can you teach me?"

Gu Xin can earn a monthly salary of over 5, and Mu Tanhen thinks this kind of job is very good. If he can earn such a salary, he can support himself, two dogs, and a cat.

"This can't be learned in a day or two." Gu Xin was a little embarrassed, he studied with his master for four years before becoming an apprentice.Although the master taught him sincerely in the last year, the first three years were doing odd jobs, but in the three years of doing odd jobs, he has figured out the veins of the human body's acupoints, which is laying the foundation.

Mu Tanhen didn't speak, but just stared at Gu Xin, his eyes were pure, clean and deep.

Gu Xin only felt her heart soften.

Mu Tanhen didn't even finish elementary school, so it's hard to find a job without a diploma.Learning massage does not require a lot of knowledge. If you understand the structure of the human body, even an illiterate person can do it well.Gu Xin's master is elementary school culture.

"Okay, I have time to teach you after get off work."

There was light in Mu Tanhen's eyes, and the corners of his mouth began to rise, as if the sun was shining on him.Seeing that her mood improved, Gu Xin couldn't help but reach out and rub the owner's hair. "Let me teach you in vain, you have to buy me a drink."

Mu Tanhen blinked. "There are at home."

"That's white wine for cooking. It costs three yuan a bottle." Gu Xin rolled her eyes.

"Oh, the kind of wine that Uncle Shu Qing brought? Is that kind of wine good?" Mu Tanhen frowned and thought.

"That kind of wine only costs more than 100 yuan..." The wine that Tian Shuqing brought was very ordinary, and the high-end wine cost more than [-] yuan.Gu Xin sighed. "Forget it, after I teach you, you can buy me good wine with the money you earn from massage skills."

"Okay!" Mu Tanhen immediately agreed.

Many years later, what Mu Tanhen gave Gu Xin was top-quality liquor, which is hard to find in the market.
