A few days later, the Jiangnan Provincial Training Team returned, and Xu Jingming also left the Star Fighting Arena, preparing to return to his hometown.
In the afternoon, Binhai High-speed Railway North Station.
"Alone in Binhai City, take care of yourself." Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao hugged and parted. Li Miaomiao was wearing a mask and accompanied by a female assistant. Although Xu Jingming had entered the World Martial Arts Competition twice, once in the top 16 and once in the top eight, after all, he rarely showed his face in public, and few people would recognize him when he walked on the street. But Li Miaomiao is different. She is very popular. Even if she is very Buddhist and only broadcasts live once a month, she still has tens of millions of fans. If she doesn't wear a mask, she may be recognized quickly.
"It's estimated that there are still two or three days left on my side. I will be able to make all the arrangements, and then I will be able to go back. Sister Kong has already gone to Mingyue City in advance, and their houses are all rented." Li Miaomiao said, Sister Kong is Li Miaomiao one of two assistants.
"Xiao Zeng, you must take good care of your boss these few days." Xu Jingming said to the thin female assistant 'Xiao Zeng'.
"Of order." Xiao Zeng immediately puffed up his chest and replied.
Xu Jingming nodded with a smile, and hugged his girlfriend again.
"Send me a message when you get home." Li Miaomiao asked.
"Okay, I'm off."
Xu Jingming turned around, carried his backpack, passed the checkpoint, and went to take the high-speed rail.
Li Miaomiao took the female assistant and watched Xu Jingming's back disappear into the passage before leaving.
*****
On the high-speed rail, Xu Jingming sat in his seat, with a three-foot light curtain floating in front of him.
The light curtain can only be seen clearly from Xu Jingming's angle, and the light from other angles is not bright enough and will be deformed.
"Dear friends, brothers and sisters, from now on, I will settle in Mingyue City! Welcome everyone to travel in Mingyue City, I will definitely entertain you all the way!" Xu Jingming sent a message in the social circle, and there were replies one after another soon .
"Brother, have a good journey!" This message was from Brother Fang Xinglong, the owner of the Star Fighting Gym.
"Old Xu, have you left Binhai?" This is the former national team teammate, good brother "Hengfang".
"Senior brother, you have finally returned to Mingyue City, the brothers have been waiting for you for a long time!" This is "Zhu Tong" from the Baji Gate of Mingyue City.
"I'm back, come see me sooner." This is "Dai Tongda", the master of the poke door in Mingyue City, and one of Xu Jingming's two masters when he was young! When he was young, Xu Jingming's enlightenment master was his father, and then under the guidance of his father, he worshiped Dai Tongda as his teacher.
"I heard that Mingyue City is a very beautiful city. If you have the opportunity, you must go to travel." This is Mi Keqi, a world-class foreign martial arts master "Hunter". Mi Keqi studied in Xiaguo and is proficient in Chinese.
"The big master is going back to his hometown. We must treat you to dinner. Many old classmates want to meet you." It was Wu Wei, a high school classmate.
Over time, messages appeared one after another.
There are old classmates, relatives, teammates in the provincial and national teams, and some friends who are not familiar with each other in the world martial arts circle, as well as some martial arts circle agents, coaches, and apprentices who have taught themselves.
Seeing these messages, Xu Jingming smiled and responded to his friends one by one.
…
Beijing, inside a Chinese-style villa.
Liu Hai, who was eating his third meal of the day, was also looking at the social circle on the light curtain. When he retreats every year, he usually looks at the social circle while eating to learn about the outside world.
"Jingming left Binhai and returned to Mingyue City?" Liu Hai understood, "It was forced by Cheng Zihao from the Tiger Shark Group."
"National Key Cultivation List."
Liu Hai tapped the screen lightly, looked at the candidates on the list, shook his head helplessly, "I found several old friends, but their mouths were broken, and Jing Ming was still brushed off."
"There are a total of twenty people on the list, twelve martial arts masters, and five other fighting styles. There are only three places to compete for... In the end, these three places were won by two professional martial arts players and one professional Sanda player."
"Professional Sanda players are Grand Slam players."
"Two professional martial arts players, one has won the fourth place in the World Martial Arts Competition! The other has entered the top eight in the world three times, and their results are better than Jing Ming."
This time the list is too special, Liu Hai only has the right to recommend, he has tried his best.
…
The scenery outside the window whizzed by.
Xu Jingming raised his head and looked out the window. After chatting in the social circle for a while, he had already entered the boundary of Mingyue City.
From Binhai City to Mingyue City, the high-speed train only takes 35 minutes.
"I'm back home." Xu Jingming was in a good mood. At a glance, there were countless weeping willows beside the river outside the high-speed rail window. The scenery of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River is refreshing.
Although in terms of economy, Mingyue City can't compare with the economic center city of Xia Kingdom, Binhai City, but in terms of livability, Mingyue City is much better. The whole city seems to be a city built in a park. The pace of the city is slow. Many elderly people across the country move here to retire.
"Mingyue City, I'm back." Leaving the high-speed railway station, Xu Jingming went straight to his parents' residence in an unmanned smart car. It was a rather historical villa area. Before he was eighteen, he almost always lived here. .
In the villa complex.
Xu Jingming was walking in the alleyway. The stone bricks on the ground had traces of time. Some of them were old stone bricks. Xu Jingming couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch the eyelids.
This graffiti was drawn when I was five years old on the wall of my neighbor's Li Da Niu's house. So much has passed, and there are still vague traces left.
Walking on this alleyway, I think of the scene when I was carrying a schoolbag to school when I was a child, and my father picked me up and sent me to school. At that time, the robot was not so intelligent, and it was the mother who was responsible for cooking and the father who was responsible for picking up and dropping off.
"Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye." Xu Jingming walked to the familiar courtyard door, pushed lightly, and the door was unlocked and opened early.
Xu Jingming walked to the front yard. The front yard was a small courtyard of more than 30 square meters. Xu Jingming practiced martial arts here for a long time when he was a child.
"Dad, Mom." Xu Jingming shouted.
"Jingming is back!"
"It's Jingming who's back!"
There was a sound from inside the house, Xu Jingming pushed open the door of the living room, and saw that his parents had already got up, Xu's mother was wearing pajamas and slippers, and Xu's father was wearing short-sleeved shorts. After all, in summer, it is very casual at home.
"Jingming." Mother Xu hugged her son happily when she saw her son, "I miss your old lady, where is Miaomiao? You came back alone?"
"Miao Miao will come back in two days." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
Father Xu came out, looked at Xu Jingming, and asked, "Where's your weapon?"
"It's all delivered by express, because there are a lot of things, all of which are large and heavy, so they won't arrive until tomorrow, and they will all be delivered to the new house." Xu Jingming said.
Only then did Father Xu nod his head.
Xu's father, named Xu Hong, is about the same height as Xu Jingming, and much bigger and stronger. After all, he is the fierce man who founded the Baji Gate in Mingyue City. Zhuanggong, like hitting a tree stump with your arms, chest, shoulders, back, elbows, etc., is also considered as Zhuanggong. There is also one-arm handstand for the main arm, one-arm handstand is very difficult, you can simplify it with 'handstand', and then simplify it to 'push-up pile'... There is also Haidilaoyue exercise for exercising your legs...
The various kung fu of Bajimen is to make every part of one's body powerful, as fierce as a tiger.
Xu's father, who is a hulking back, has a domineering aura standing there.
"Dad, you're going to lose weight." Xu Jingming said, "You're over two hundred catties now."
"Two hundred and ten catties." Xu's father shook his head and said, "I can't help it. I'm old, and my back hurts often, so I have to take it easy when practicing. I only practice for two hours a day. No, my weight has increased. In the past I have always maintained at 190 catties."
"There is less time to practice, so I ask you to eat less, or eat, can you not get fat?" Xu's mother's figure is enough to make many young girls envious, but the wrinkles on her face and a little white hair on her head reveal her body. Xu's mother's age.
Xu's mother is a painter. When she was young, she traveled all over the world with Xu's father, and later settled in Mingyue City together.
"I'm used to eating, I can't control it." Father Xu laughed.
"You, you were too aggressive when you were young. You visited those fighting schools all over the world, and you often had to learn from each other wherever you went." Xu's mother shook her head. Well, it hurts here and there every now and then. Jingming, you must take this as a warning, and focus on health preservation in the future, and less actual combat."
"Yes, fighting with martial arts weapons is very dangerous." Xu's father also nodded. When his son was twenty years old, his opponent broke his leg in the ring of the World Martial Arts Competition. The couple panicked when they saw it off the field.
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I've already settled down in Mingyue City, who do I want to fight with?" Xu Jingming smiled.
"Jing Ming is back?" A voice came from upstairs.
"Grandpa?" Xu Jingming was very happy.
"Your grandfather knew you were coming back today, so he came here early in the morning. He was sleepy in the afternoon and took a nap on it." Mother Xu said, "I guess he heard us chatting."
Xu Jingming put down his backpack and walked to the atrium of the villa, and saw the white-haired old man walking down, his gait was fairly steady.
"Grandpa." Xu Jingming walked to the stairs.
"It's good to be back. Isn't Mingyue City more beautiful and comfortable than Binhai City?" The white-haired old man narrowed his eyes with a smile. Of course he was very happy to see his grandson.
"I won't leave when I come back this time, and I will spend more time with Grandpa." Xu Jingming also felt sorry for Grandpa.
Grandpa, named Xu Guishun, came from a rural family and became a professional e-sports player when he was young. He was nicknamed "Unknown Master" in the game.
At that time, it was still a mobile game! Grandpa once won Fmvp once, and his career income is quite high. After retiring, he became a game anchor and saved a lot of money over the years. This is how the Xu family has saved their foundation.
It's just that grandpa is already eighty-eight years old, and his health is getting worse.
"Come on, let's eat fruit." Mom and Dad, holding two big fruit plates, grapes, bananas, and watermelons are all ready.
"Eat fruit." Mr. Xu was also in a good mood. He sat down and picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to Xu Jingming, "Try the watermelon from my hometown. These are all local melons."
"Grandpa, I'll do it myself." Xu Jingming also sat down and picked up the watermelon.
I still remember that when I was young, my grandfather often took me to play. At that time, my mother was still very young and my father was in his prime. He often took a group of apprentices to practice martial arts.
Today, grandpa is old, full of wrinkles and age spots on his face.
My mother also has a lot of gray hair, and the wrinkles are hard to hide. Although my father is tall and strong, but after all, he is sixty, and he is also old.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can stop it." Xu Jingming thought, "I have grown up, but my parents are getting old, and my grandfather is getting younger every year."
Back home, he felt the warmth of the family, but Xu Jingming felt the ruthlessness of time even more.
"These fruits were bought by your father just this morning, and they are all the freshest." Mother Xu said.
"It's delicious." Xu Jingming ate and smiled happily.
