Weird, Roland felt that what the girl said was quite strange.
Faintly, this girl seemed to have a familiar feeling about him. But Roland thought about it and confirmed that he had never seen this girl before. The other party is quite beautiful and has a good temperament. If you meet him, you will definitely be impressed.
Seemingly feeling that she had said too much, the girl turned around and walked forward in silence.
The two came to a warehouse behind the greenhouse. The girl opened the door with a key. There were many weapons and some protective gear inside.
"Choose one you like." The girl walked in first.
Roland entered the warehouse and found a handful of Miao knives lying on the wooden weapon rack in the corner, and they even had scabbards.
I picked one up casually. Although it was made of wood, it was a bit heavy to hold because of the length of the Miao knife. The scabbard is made of bamboo and seems to be of decent workmanship, while the handle is very smooth and seems to have been soaked in tung oil.
Roland put the Miao knife up and took it out of the sheath to take a look. It turned out that the Miao knife was too long and could not be pulled out.
"Put it sideways so it can be unsheathed."
The girl said as she walked over with a measuring tape. She looked Roland up and down for a while and said, "Stand still."
Then Roland was measured for his height, chest circumference, waist circumference, and arm circumference.
As the girl came closer, the scent of osmanthus became stronger.
Roland was a little surprised. He allowed the girl to measure him, but still asked: "Do you need a physical examination before learning Miao Dao Technique?"
"This is a protective gear for you." The girl whispered while testing the data of various parts of Roland's body: "Even a wooden knife is very dangerous."
Roland was a little surprised and said, "But I didn't see those teenagers wearing protective gear."
"Of course you don't need to wear it when practicing routines." The girl stood up and said matter-of-factly: "But when sparring, you have to wear it, otherwise even if it is a wooden sword, it will be very painful if you get hit by it."
"Do I need to pay extra for this protective gear?" Roland asked. He felt that this was a disguised charge!
The girl shook her head: "It's free."
"Breakfast is provided, and knives and protective gear are provided. The benefits are quite good." Roland smiled.
At this time, the girl had already measured his physical data. After hearing this, she said softly: "Although the tuition is a bit expensive, the things we teach are actually worth the price."
There was some explanation in this voice, and the girl's face was even a little weak.
Roland noticed this keenly and was a little surprised. After hesitating for a while, the weirdness in his heart became more and more obvious. He asked strangely: "Have we... met before?"
The girl glanced at him with a calm expression: "What do you think?"
Roland felt that he was really being sentimental and laughed awkwardly.
Then he randomly selected a wooden knife and quickly left the warehouse.
When he arrived at the greenhouse, Qi Shaoqiu was already waiting for him.
This man was leaning on the iron load-bearing pole of the greenhouse, smoking cheap cigarettes, with a pair of emotionless dead fish eyes, giving him a sense of sadness.
Of course, this was just an illusion. Qi Shaoqiu's temperament disappeared as soon as he spoke: "If you stay alone with my sister for any longer, I'm going to beat her up."
Roland rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Okay, you have chosen the knife. You can take it home later, or you can keep it with us." Qi Shaoqiu pinched out the cigarette butt with his fingers, put it into his trouser pocket, and said, "Since you If you have practiced Sanda, then we don’t need to learn the basics of muscle and bone contraction. Now let me briefly talk about the basic steps of Miao Dao Shu. In our knife skills, most of the movements are completed by replacing the forward step with the horse step, so Zama To do something old-fashioned like this, you have to spend half an hour every day practicing it, and then you have to do the basic knife-holding techniques, which are different from those of the Japanese... "
Qi Shaoqiu taught and demonstrated at the same time.
The morning passed quickly.
It was almost noon, and Roland refused Qi Shaomi's invitation to have lunch together and left on a shared bicycle.
Watching Roland leave, Qi Shaoqiu said to his sister next to him: "You seem a little strange today and your mood fluctuates a lot. Do you know that kid? He can't be your former classmate."
Xisha didn't make a sound.
Qi Shaoqiu waited for a while, then turned his head in surprise, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground: "You can't be fooled by what I said."
Xisha pursed her thin pink lips: "Not a classmate, he was my senior in high school. One grade higher than me."
"Senior in high school, you don't have to have such a deep impression. It happened so many years ago... wait!" Qi Shaoqiu was stunned for a moment and asked: "It's the 'Two Outstanding Students in Ninth Middle School' that you often mentioned in high school, two gay men. Are you going to be admitted to Luodu Jiaotong University together with your friends?"
Xisha nodded.
Qi Shaoqiu leaned over to pick up the cigarette butt, flicked the cigarette filter, and then stuffed it into his mouth again: "So that's how it is, no wonder!"
It wasn't until Roland's figure turned into an invisible black spot on the street that Xisha withdrew his gaze and asked, "What's his talent like? How long will it take him to learn Miao Dao Technique?"
"The talent is very good. He can learn the techniques of exerting force and exerting force immediately, and he can draw inferences from one example. He is indeed a talented student. He will probably be able to learn from me in half a year." Qi Shaoqiu sighed with admiration, then he looked at Xisha and smiled mischievously. Said: "But don't worry, I will teach him slowly. I will let him study here for at least one year."
Xisha turned around angrily: "No need, you don't need to interfere with my affairs."
She returned to the warehouse, looked at the physical data on the table, and said softly: "It's much taller than before!"
In a daze, she recalled seven years ago, when she was still a young girl, and the high school was in a dormitory system. She was walking alone on the cement road of the campus pulling a heavy suitcase, and there happened to be a small slope that she could not pull up. , I tried several times but I didn’t have much strength anymore, so I wanted to sit aside and rest.
At this time, a senior with an ordinary appearance, ordinary temperament and ordinary clothes reached out to help.
She still remembered that the autumn sun was just right at that time, the sky was blue, and the senior was dressed in plain white clothes. Even though his eyebrows were not outstanding, they gave her a sense of warmth and warmth.
The senior helped her carry the suitcase to the girls' dormitory and left.
She thought she would have nothing to do with this senior in the future.
But what she never expected was that in the next two years, she would hear news from this senior every month.
This senior had an outrageously handsome boy, and the two of them occupied the top two spots in their grade, taking turns taking first place.
They have them in speech contests, they have them in Math Olympiads, they can also get places in school sports meets, and what's even more outrageous is that they also have them in fights, and they are the initiators.
If their academic performance was not really good and the school leaders took the initiative to help them hide it, otherwise it would definitely leave a stain on their student status.
In the end, the two went to Luodu Jiaotong University together.
Xisha’s first choice was also Luodu Jiaotong University, but she didn’t get into it.
She felt that she had almost forgotten this senior, but she did not expect that he would appear in front of her again.
His appearance and eyebrows have not changed much from before.
She recognized him.
He doesn't know her.
I shouldn't have known her in the first place, it was just a chance encounter.
Thinking of this, Xisha felt a little sore in her heart.
