Longshan Martial Arts School mainly focused on martial arts, supplemented by cultural classes. They taught martial arts in the morning and cultural classes in the afternoon. Every year, they would recruit 30 new students and teach them the spear, saber, sword, rod, and fist. In addition to the lessons taught by Hall Master Mei and Mei Kunli, there was also a couple of coaches. The male coach, Yu Huacheng, taught boxing, while his wife, Teacher Fan, taught cultural lessons.
Ten years ago, Coach Yu and Teacher Fan were classmates at Longshan Martial Arts School. Because of Teacher Fan's outstanding talent and appearance, he became the target of everyone's pursuit. Many boys competed with each other for this reason. Teacher Fan was very distressed. After Owner Mei found out about it, she thought of a way to find a spouse for Teacher Fan. In order to prevent accidental injuries from knives, guns, and swords, the competition used cudgel and boxing. The group round-robin competition would take the first place in each group to enter the finals. Yu Huacheng was one of the prettiest students in the Joust For A Spouse competition. He defeated the heroes and won the hearts of the beautiful people in the end. Later on, the story of the Longshan Martial Arts School's martial arts competition for a spouse spread throughout the entire Longshan.
This morning, Coach Yu stood in front of the beginner class team in a yellow exercise suit and said,""New students, I am your boxing coach. My surname is Yu, not Yu as in rain, but Yu as in the universe.”
The students were all standing there solemnly. When they heard Coach Yu's humorous speech, they laughed out loud.
"The first lesson I'll give you is called Xingyi Fist.”Coach Yu imitated the monkey's bow. His foot missed, and his hand was placed on the awning. It was very lifelike.
Coach Yu continued," Students, the fist technique created by imitating the movement characteristics of twelve animals is the Xingyi Fist. Legend has it that the founder was Yue Fei, the hero of the Song Dynasty. When the Xingyi Fist was founded, it was called the Six-combination Fist of Mind and Will. It was the combination of heart and will, will and qi, qi and strength, shoulder and hip, elbow and knee, hand and foot. The Xingyi Fist emphasized the high unity of inner will and outer appearance. Students, try imitating a tiger."”
The students couldn't figure it out for a moment. They looked at each other. Long Xiaoguang was the first to make an imitation. He bent his legs, raised his hands, and his fingers were like claws as he pounced forward. When the students saw Long Xiaoguang imitating the tiger's movements, they all imitated the tiger's movements.
Coach Yu glanced at the students and said with a smile,""Student Long Xiaoguang imitated it well. Come to the front and demonstrate.”
Long Xiaoguang walked to the front of the team to demonstrate his actions in embarrassment.
This morning, Coach Yu had been teaching them to imitate the movements of the tiger and monkey. The students were very happy and liked Coach Yu immediately.
Coach Mei taught Shaolin Kung Fu. On the first day of class, he mentioned that the Shaolin staff came from the Shaolin Temple and was a common weapon used by Shaolin monks. He began to teach basic skills, asking the students to straighten their bodies, straighten their arms, and practice horse steps and bow steps first. If anyone did not do well, they would be punished by doing push-ups. At the end of the morning, all the students were so tired that their backs ached. The students thought he was very strict and were afraid of his class. Long Xiaoguang and his brother were most afraid of Coach Mei's class. It was common for them to be punished to do push-ups.
One day, when Little Dragon was standing in the horse stance, because he did not squat properly, Long Xiaoguang thought that he would be punished to do push-ups again, so he did not care. Unexpectedly, Coach Mei ran over and swept his Shaolin stick across his calf. Little Dragon let out an " Aiyo " sound, and his legs went limp on the spot. His buttocks fell to the ground, and his expression was very painful. His forehead was sweating profusely. Long Xiaoguang stood up after a while and said," Coach Mei, why did you hit me?"
"I didn't hit him. It's a punishment."
"You hit my leg with a stick."
Long Xiaorong, who was standing behind Long Xiaoguang, said in a low voice,"I saw you hit his leg."
Coach Mei turned to Long Xiaorong and said,""You contradicted the coach, so you will be punished with 20 push-ups!”
Long Xiaorong felt wronged, but he didn't dare to make a sound as he was afraid of further punishment.
"Coach Mei, you, you?" Long Xiaoguang stuttered in anger.”
"You're not convinced, are you?" Coach Mei said.”
"I'm not convinced.”
"Good boy, you have guts! Twenty push-ups!"
Long Xiaoguang understood that if he was not punished, there would be a more severe punishment, which was confinement. He heard from his classmates that detention was very scary. Very few of the students were grounded. Long Xiaoguang had no choice but to bend down and sit up with his hands on the ground. However, after only ten push-ups, he could not hold on any longer. He fell to the ground, sweating profusely.
"Get up and do it!" Coach Mei said sternly.”
Long Xiaoguang gritted his teeth and felt his hands go soft. He slowly made one, and when he was really exhausted, he fell to the ground again.
"Get up and do it! I'll count to three. If you don't get up soon, I'll add punishment!”
Long Xiaoguang gritted his teeth and struggled to get up. He was about to do it, but his hands didn't listen to him and he fell to the ground.
Coach Mei thought he was doing it on purpose and said,""Ten more punishments!"
However, Long Xiaoguang did not move at all. After a while, Coach Mei was shocked. He turned Long Xiaoguang over and saw that Long Xiaoguang had fainted. "Brother, wake up! Wake up!" Long Xiaorong cried.”
Coach Mei was afraid that something would happen to him, so he asked Long Xiaorong to carry him on his back. Another student supported him and sent him to the infirmary.
Long Xiaoguang and his brother had been unfairly punished by Coach Mei several times, so they were puzzled. The two brothers recalled carefully and realized that they had offended Coach Mei because they had revealed the secret that Long Kong 'er was the eighteenth participant. This had led to a fight between Long Kong' er and Coach Mei, and Coach Mei had been punished by Dojo Master Mei. However, this secret was told by Ji Yuchun to Long Xiaorong, and Coach Mei also knew about it. Why didn't she pursue Ji Yuchun? The two brothers hated Coach Mei, but there was nothing they could do.
Ji Yuchun was the son of a rich man. He was handsome but arrogant. He had some martial arts skills and had never been punished in Mei Kunli's martial arts class. He liked to play pranks and sometimes teased his classmates who were often punished. One day after class, Long Xiaoguang and a few classmates were still standing in the field. Ji Yuchun smiled and said to Long Xiaoguang,""Long Xiaoguang, why can't you stand straight in the Horse Stance?”
Long Xiaoguang was humiliated and said angrily,""Ji Yuchun, you're the one with bow-legged legs!"
"If you're not bow-legged, take off your pants.”
The students beside him also laughed.
Long Xiaoguang said angrily,"Bullshit!"”
"If you dare to curse, you want to be beaten up.”
"I'm not afraid of you!"
Ji Yuchun stretched out his hands, raising his left hand in front of him and his right hand behind him, ready to attack. Long Xiaoguang stood there with his hands clenched into fists. Ji Yuchun roared and rushed over. The two of them soon started fighting. Ji Yuchun had a little martial arts foundation, so Long Xiaoguang could only parry. Long Xiaorong just came back from the bathroom and saw Long Xiaoguang and Ji Yuchun fighting. He immediately rushed to Ji Yuchun. Ji Yuchun switched from offense to defense. The three of them fought hard.
Coach Mei noticed that Ji Yuchun and Long Xiaoguang were fighting. He ran over and shouted,""Stop!"
The three of them stopped and saw that their faces were swollen and Long Xiaoguang's eyes were bleeding. Ji Yuchun complained first,"Coach Mei, those brothers bullied me.”
"Coach Mei, he's talking nonsense," Long Xiaoguang said hurriedly. He hit me first."
Coach Mei couldn't help but argue. He pointed at Long Xiaoguang and his brother and said,""You two troublemakers again! Wait for detention!"
Long Xiaoguang said,"Coach Mei, it was Ji Yuchun who started the fight." Why are we grounded?"
"You two are bullying one!"
"He bullied us first!" Long Xiaorong cried anxiously.”
"Do you still want to argue?"
Long Xiaoguang and Long Xiaorong did not dare to make a sound. Ji Yuchun made a face at the Long Xiaoguang brothers and left.
Confinement was the most severe punishment in the Longshan Martial Arts School. It was rarely used, only once or twice a year. The punishment of confinement was given to Dojo Master Mei. It was said that detention was very uncomfortable, like hell on earth. Those students who were detained went crazy, stupid, and some automatically dropped out of school. Long Xiaoguang and his brother recalled that Coach Mei wanted them to wait for detention. The brothers felt like meat on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered, and they were very afraid. During dinner, the two of them sat at the dining table with their heads lowered, but they could not swallow their food. Long Xiaorong said with tears in her eyes,"Brother, what if I'm going to be grounded tomorrow?"”
Long Xiaoguang shook his head helplessly.
"Let's run."
"We are here to learn martial arts. How can we face our parents if we run back?”
"Then, pretend to be sick."
"No, Doctor Mo will find out.”
"But you'll go crazy after detention.”
Long Xiaoguang's expression was solemn as he lowered his head and remained silent. The two brothers seemed to be waiting for the arrival of death, waiting in fear for the arrival of tomorrow. That night, the two brothers were completely unable to sleep.
The next morning, Long Xiaoguang and his brother dragged their heavy footsteps to the sports field listlessly. It was Coach Mei's turn to teach. Long Xiaoguang and his brother knew that they would be grounded soon. The two of them stood with their heads lowered in pain. Coach Mei walked to the front of the team and said loudly,""I have an important decision to make!”
Long Xiaoguang closed his eyes in despair as if he had heard a death sentence. Long Xiaorong was so scared that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Coach Mei continued," Yesterday afternoon, Long Xiaoguang and Long Xiaorong beat up Ji Yuchun together. They violated the rules of the club. As it didn't cause any serious consequences, they were exempted from detention with the approval of Club Master Mei." However, in order to give Long Xiaoguang and Long Xiaorong a warning, they decided to punish Long Xiaoguang and Long Xiaorong for cleaning the field for a month!”
The students discussed in low voices. It was unfair to punish only Long Xiaoguang and his brother, not Ji Yuchun.
Coach Mei heard the students 'discussion and said sternly,""If any of you are unhappy, come to the front and say it. Don't babble.”
The students fell silent.
When Long Xiaoguang and his brother heard this, they were so happy that they almost jumped up like people who had escaped death. As long as he wasn't grounded, he could even sweep the field for a year!
It turned out that the punishment of detention was in the hands of Club Master Mei. The next morning, Coach Mei reported the fight between Long Xiaoguang and his brother and Ji Yuchun to Club Master Mei and proposed to put Long Xiaoguang and his brother in detention. Owner Mei had always been very cautious about the matter of confinement. She called Long Xiaoguang and his brother and Ji Yuchun to the office to inquire. Soon, Owner Mei learned the truth of the fight. They believed that Coach Mei was unfair. Ji Yuchun was the one who started the trouble, Long Xiaorong was the participant, and Long Xiaoguang was the victim. Ji Yuchun and Long Xiaorong were responsible for the fight. Ji Yuchun and Long Xiaorong were locked up. However, Ji Yuchun was the son of his sworn brother, Ji Yuanfu. He could not be confined. However, it would be unfair to confine Long Xiaorong and not Ji Yuchun, so the owner of the Plum Blossom Mansion rejected Coach Mei's suggestion. Coach Mei was unhappy when he found out that Club Master Mei didn't confine Long Xiaoguang and his brother, but he had to obey the Club Master's order. (Book review)
