Xu Shanlan

The morning sun shines through the gaps in the clouds, reflecting a warm red between the sky and the earth.Xu Shanlan took a deep breath of fresh air and moved his body against the rising sun.I haven't done morning exercise for several days, and the joints in my whole body are rusty, so I need to stretch them out.Xu Shanlan separated his legs slightly, bent down deeply, stretched his legs straight, pressed his palms to the ground, and slowly moved from right to left, and then from left to right.

He raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw a figure flickering among the bushes outside the fence of the wrought iron railing.Xu Shanlan straightened his waist and looked over carefully, the young man's somewhat stubborn eyes appeared among the dense branches and leaves, it was the Xie Yongtian from yesterday.

Xu Shanlan didn't expect him to stay outside so early, and couldn't help but let out a soft "huh".Seeing that Xu Shanlan noticed him, Xie Yongtian was a little embarrassed, his face turned red, then he puffed out his chest and stared at Xu Shanlan provocatively.

Xu Shanlan couldn't be as knowledgeable as him, and looked away while smiling, to see if the elder brother came out.

"Hello—" Xie Yongtian shouted from behind, "Hello—I know your name is Xu Shanlan!"

Xu Shanlan turned around and was called by his name directly by a kid who was nearly ten years younger than him. It really wasn't a good feeling.

"I know you are the National Sanda Champion." Xie Yongtian paused, and deliberately added, "It's the youth group."

Xu Shanlan didn't say a word, and squinted at the boy with his hands crossed over his chest.

"I also know that your kung fu is all taught by your senior brother, right?" Xie Yongtian raised his head, as if he knew everything well.

Xu Shanlan remained silent, and slowly raised one corner of his lips.

Xie Yongtian was irritated by Xu Shanlan's contemptuous and nonchalant attitude, and said loudly: "I have seen your game video, and it is not very good at all! If I grew up with Master, I must be better than you! I will definitely become the world leader Champion!" He clenched his fists and swung his fists hard, emphatically, with strong self-confidence and firm determination.

Xu Shanlan rolled his eyes and shouted towards the second floor: "Brother, can you hurry up?"

As soon as the words were finished, Cong Zhanyi came out wearing a black sportswear, saw Xie Yongtian outside the yard with shining eyes, and asked Xu Shanlan, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Xu Shanlan said, "Someone strongly asks to be your apprentice."

"Yes." Cong Zhanyi was noncommittal, and ran out slowly with Xu Shanlan.They always ran along the sidewalk to Beiling Park, circled inside and returned to the yard, about 1 meters away.They have been in sync for so many years.Where to turn, where to change from side by side to one behind the other, where to bend over to avoid hanging branches, you can go down with your eyes closed, and you are familiar with the road.Xie Yongtian was carrying a heavy backpack and ran behind them.The two senior brothers cooperated very tacitly, occasionally talking and laughing for a few words, which made Xie Yongtian grit his teeth.

Listening to the footsteps behind, Xu Shanlan followed all the way to Beiling Park, and said with a low laugh, "It's quite resilient."

"Hmm." Cong Zhanyi didn't care much about the child.

Xu Shanlan pursed his lips, but couldn't hold back the unhappiness in his heart after all, and said: "I think he is better than me, if I want to practice martial arts like this, I will not."

Cong Zhanyi glanced at Xu Shanlan, the younger brother's eyes were lowered, and he said this casually.Cong Zhanyi smiled and said: "Then how can it be compared? You just happened to change, so I beg you to practice martial arts."

Xu Shanlan snorted and turned his face to one side.

The running speed of the two was not slow, and what was rare was that the child followed suit. Although he was panting and sweating from exhaustion, he still refused to take half a step behind his teeth and followed them all the way to their door. .

Cong Zhanyi and Xu Shanlan ran into the yard, closed their eyes and stood silently on the grass for a while, but they didn't see any hints. They stepped, raised their hands at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding, and practiced Tai Chi.

Both of them practiced Chen-style Tai Chi, and their movements were exactly the same, but Cong Zhanyi had a restrained demeanor, his movements were vigorous and vigorous, while Xu Shanlan was elegant and free, with stretched postures.The two have their own characteristics, and it's hard to tell them apart at first sight.Xie Yongtian looked inside eagerly from outside the wrought iron fence, envious in his heart.

After finishing a set of Taijiquan, the brothers and sisters closed their posture together and stood still. After a while, they relaxed and walked back to the small building side by side.Xie Yongtian hadn't eaten in the morning, his stomach was growling from hunger, but he didn't want to leave, so he tiptoed to look into the yard.

Xu Shanlan is soft-hearted, always thinking about the child outside the door, occasionally looking out the window while eating.Xie Yongtian hadn't left yet, lingering outside the courtyard, staring at their house with longing eyes.Xu Shanlan also couldn't help admiring Xie Yongtian's persistence, after all, in this age, there are not many children who are so serious and courageous.He sighed and said, "Actually, this kid is not bad."

"It's okay to be your apprentice." Cong Zhanyi put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.

"Pull it down." Xu Shanlan teased Senior Senior Brother, "He is here for you, a gentleman does not take what others like."

"You are enough to teach me for a lifetime, but you may not be able to teach me clearly." Cong Zhanyi said, his eyes were serious, and he met Xu Shanlan's eyes, and his words were meaningful.

"Cut." Xu Shanlan's face became hot when he saw it, and he turned and ran upstairs to get something.Although I haven't been to a serious class for a few days, it can still be regarded as a qualified internship, and I have to return to school to hand in the form today.

They got into the car, and when they reached the gate, Cong Zhanyi signaled Cai Rong to stop for a while, and pressed the window.Xie Yongtian was so hungry that his stomach rumbled, but he really wanted to take Cong Zhanyi as his teacher, even if there was only a slight chance, he wanted to wait.Seeing the car parked in front of him, his heart jumped for joy, he bowed deeply, and shouted: "Master!"

"As I said, I don't accept apprentices." Cong Zhanyi said indifferently, and took out a business card, "Go to XX martial arts school to find Principal Luo, and just say that I introduced you. Practice hard in the martial arts school, and there will be more students in the future." promising."

Xie Yongtian took the business card with both hands, and asked excitedly and sadly: "Master..." Cong Zhanyi lowered his face and looked stern.Xie Yongtian swallowed nervously, and quickly changed his words: "Mr. Cong...Mr. Cong, if I finish training in the martial arts school, will you accept me as an apprentice?"

"No." Cong Zhanyi spit out these two words coldly, ignored Xie Yongtian, and rolled up the car window, "Let's go to Lanzi's school."

Xie Yongtian held his business card tightly, watching the car get further and further away without moving, before turning a corner and disappearing.

After nearly two months of internship, the students in one class reunited, and they felt much closer to each other, and even Feng Yushu, who had never been welcome to see, seemed much more pleasing to the eye.After all, the classmates were together, seeing that graduation was about to part, chatting about each other's internship experience in full swing, after all, there was a bit of sadness.

To be honest, Xu Shanlan didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much. He hated change since he was a child, because change meant loss, but he couldn't decide on such a thing, so he simply lay down on the table and pretended to sleep.It's a pity that others can't stand up to the pole to join in the fun - Xu Chunfeng saw Xu Shanlan as soon as he entered the door, and he jumped up and pushed him: "Lanzi Lanzi, how are you doing as a security guard?"

Xu Shanlan's job as a security guard has become a classic anecdote in his senior year. When he asked this question, the girls next to him looked sideways.Xu Shanlan sighed secretly, poked his head out of his arms, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "It's okay."

"I'm going to be a teacher." Xu Chunfeng blushed with excitement, and it seemed that the internship process went smoothly, "And I found a job!"

"Oh." Xu Shanlan blinked, not too surprised, and looked at Lang Zening who was standing aside.Lang Zening's father is the director of the Education Bureau, so it is more than enough to arrange a job for Xu Chunfeng in S City.Unexpectedly, Lang Zening shook his head slowly with a smile, and shrugged his shoulders as a helpless gesture.

In fact, Xu Chunfeng came here in a hurry, before Xu Shanlan asked, he said in a crackling voice: "I went to find the school where I practiced, but who knew that I couldn't find it according to the address, don't you think it's strange?"

Xu Shanlan thought to himself, it's not surprising at all, you are an idiot in Dalu, it's strange to find it.

"In the end, I ran into an old lady, and I asked her for directions. She was very enthusiastic and wanted to take me there, so she couldn't just walk and talk, just say a few words. I never thought that this old lady was a The person in charge of the sports school heard that I was looking for an internship unit, so he said, "Oh boy, we are still short of people here, do you want to come?" Into the business unit!"

Only then did Xu Shanlan understand the reason for Lang Zening's helpless expression. He looked at Xu Chunfeng who was laughing triumphantly, and said thoughtfully, "Could this be the fate of a fool in the legend?"

"Bah, what are you talking about!" Xu Chunfeng was unhappy, and hit Xu Shanlan hard, and the three of them laughed together.

Lang Zening asked: "Lanzi, how are you? You won't just be a security guard for the rest of your life, right?"

Xu Shanlan rubbed the back of his head and said indifferently: "It's okay to be a security guard for a lifetime."

Lang Zening looked at Xu Shanlan for a while, and said seriously: "It's nothing, I'm just a bit condescending." He thought for a while, "Don't you have anything in particular you want to do?"

Something in particular you want to do?This sentence stumped Xu Shanlan, since he was a child, he had never been a master himself a few times.Practicing martial arts, participating in competitions, studying, and taking college entrance examinations, everything is done step by step, without any suspense.The only time he took the initiative was to take his elder brother home, but with Cong Zhanyi, it could not be said that he was in charge anyway.

Xu Shanlan suddenly remembered Xie Yongtian's gaze of strong desire and conviction in the morning, perhaps, he was really inferior to him.

Seeing Xu Shanlan bowed his head and remained silent, Lang Zening thought that he touched the other party's mind.He knew a little about Lan's family background, so he was particularly incomprehensible that he could work as a security guard. Maybe there were some unspeakable reasons.He patted Xu Shanlan on the shoulder: "Forget about Lanzi, any profession is the same. In short, if you need help in the future, just let me know."

"Yes!" Xu Chunfeng said, "No matter what, our buddies didn't say anything!"

Xu Shanlan raised his head, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Okay."

During this internship, many students found jobs. The English department was still very popular at the time, and it was easy to find, not to mention that they were majoring in teachers, and they basically had to go back and forth from where they came from and obey the organization's assignments.

The course is almost over, and I am just waiting for the graduation defense, which is just more form than connotation.Someone suggested that it is better to go out to party while everyone is here.As soon as the idea came out, they responded one after another.The girls in the English department were lively and active, so they immediately began to discuss where to go to have fun, and finally decided to go to the "night owl" nearby.

Night Owl is a disco, very famous in that circle, it is said that the more crazy it gets at night, it is not an ordinary place.Lang Zening couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he had never liked this kind of chaotic place.But Xu Chunfeng had never been there before, so he became interested immediately.What's more, Feng Yushu next to him added two sentences: "Night owl, it's okay." He looked extremely familiar.Xu Chunfeng liked to call out to Feng Yushu, and immediately agreed: "Go to the night owl! Let's go crazy too! Lanzi, you must go, the three of us have to advance together and retreat together."

Xu Shanlan's eyes shifted, looking from one side to the other, a smile appeared in his bright black eyes, and he said, "Then let's go."
