Chapter 16 Master Zang's Tai Chi Kung Fu

"Hello? Editor Song, what's up?"

Li Feng answered the phone.

"Well, from now on, I'll publish two reviews a week, on Mondays and Fridays, and each review will be 350 yuan. Is that okay?"

Song Dongpeng asked on the phone.

Writing stock reviews is very important to Li Feng, who is now a full-time stock trader.

It's as ordinary as eating and sleeping.

After a brief pause, Li Feng replied, "No problem."

"That's settled then. Today is Wednesday. Remember to send my manuscript for Friday's publication to my email before 4 p.m. tomorrow," Song Dongpeng reminded.

"Yeah, okay."

Li Feng hung up the phone.

There is only one day left until the manuscript is due tomorrow.

Li Feng then took out his laptop and started browsing the stock market news. However, after reading a few articles, he remembered that Zhao Xinyue was still missing, and he felt worried again.

"Go out and wander around, relax, and find some inspiration."

Li Feng closed his laptop and walked straight towards Chang'an Park.

Chang'an Park is just opposite the hospital, covering dozens of acres, surrounded by ancient trees and green grass.

There is a large square on the north side of the park, and a shared basketball court and football field on the south side. An oval running track wraps the two together, like a double-yolk egg.

At this time, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the park was crowded with people.

Young and middle-aged people were playing ball and running, while the elderly were doing Tai Chi, diabolo, and square dancing in the square. Occasionally, there were couples whispering in the dark, or couples with children strolling around and chatting.

A peaceful scene.

Li Feng had nothing to do, so he walked slowly along the runway.

I had just walked for about ten minutes when I suddenly heard a greeting.

"Xiao Li!"

Li Feng turned his head and saw Master Zang wearing a Tang suit and practicing Tai Chi seriously.

Master Zang looks to be in his sixties or seventies, with gray hair, but his eyes are bright and he looks very energetic.

Li Feng stopped and greeted, "Master Zang, you're here. It's just right. I've paid the rent for next quarter."

"No hurry, no hurry, what are you doing here?"

Master Zang also stopped and asked from a distance.

"Uh, exercise."

"Well, you should exercise. You just woke up not long ago, and then you had heart palpitations and a fracture. You were hospitalized for more than two months," Master Zang pondered. "Come here, I'll take your pulse."

Li Feng was stunned.

"What are you staring at? Young man, Old Zang used to be the signature traditional Chinese medicine doctor at B City People's Hospital. He could either live or die with just one touch of your pulse. He was known as Zang Tianming."

Next to him, another old man in Tang suit was talking nonsense.

"Old Wang, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Master Zang waved his hands, but his face showed a look of enjoyment.

"Uh, thank you, Doctor Zang." Li Feng changed his address and extended his right hand.

Master Zang stretched out his right hand and concentrated on taking Li Feng's pulse.

After a few breaths, he said solemnly, "You are only in your twenties, but your pulse is weak and slow. This is a symptom of insufficient Qi and blood, and Yin deficiency and Yang decline."

"Have you been dating that girl Zhao Xinyue recently?"

"You must hold back. Remember, lust is like a knife hanging over your head."

Li Feng looked shocked.

What the hell is going on?

Seeing the expression on Li Feng's face, Master Zang glared and said, "Don't take it lightly. Alcohol and sex are extremely harmful to your health. If you don't take good care of your body, within three years at most, you'll be ruined and have to go back to the hospital for a complete overhaul."

"real?"

When Li Feng heard Master Zang's serious tone, he felt a little uneasy.

He had just woken up and didn't want to lie down again.

Master Zang looked at the expression on Li Feng's face and added:

"How could that be true? I'm sixty-eight years old, and I can practice Tai Chi for half an hour without even getting out of breath. If you follow me, I guarantee you won't be able to last even ten minutes."

"Come, come, come, young man, stand behind us and follow us."

Lao Wang also took up his stance and said, "We are practicing the 24-posture Tai Chi. This is the first posture, the starting posture..."

"The second move, squeezing sideways, is also called Wild Horse Splitting its Mane. Watch carefully..."

The two of them worked very closely together and became faster as they practiced.

Li Feng was able to keep up at first, but after three or five minutes, he began to sweat all over. After practicing a few more moves, his face suddenly turned red and his chest began to pound.

"stop!"

Master Zang saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly called for a stop.

Li Feng squatted on the stone pier next to him, breathing heavily.

"Look, see?"

Without saying anything, Master Zang reached out and took Li Feng's pulse, saying, "I said you were weak, but I still don't believe it. If you weren't in love with that girl Zhao Xinyue, I wouldn't care about your business."

"Are you familiar with Xinyue?"

"How can we not be familiar with each other? She and I live in the same residential complex, upstairs and downstairs. Do you think we are familiar with each other?" Master Zang muttered.

"A few months ago, this girl insisted on asking me to rent her the vacant apartment in the hospital dormitory. Later I found out that it was actually rented for you, kid."

"I'm warning you, Xinyue is a good girl, you can't let her down."

"Of course, of course." Li Feng said with a wry smile.

Then, he reacted and asked, "Master Zang, which community do you live in?"

"Look, across from the park, Chang'an Garden."

Master Zang pondered, "From now on, you should practice Tai Chi with me every night to take care of your body. You should also quit smoking, drinking, and sex first."

"Do you understand?"

"Okay, I understand," Li Feng said, and then he turned his eyes and asked,

"Hey, Master Zang, I don't have my phone with me. Can you help me call Xinyue?"

"Huh?" Master Zang glared, stood up, and asked, "Did you have a fight with Xinyue?"

"There was a misunderstanding." Li Feng said apologetically.

"I see."

Master Zang pondered and said, "Go back to the dormitory and wait. That girl will be here soon."

"In that case, thank you very much, Master." Li Feng clasped his hands together and bowed solemnly.

"Get out! If I find out that you make Xinyue angry again, I'll break your legs." Master Zang kicked her and cursed with a smile.

"Yes, yes, sir."

Li Feng dodged the flying kick and ran away.

Lao Wang, who was standing nearby, took a look and said with a smile, "Old Zang, this kid is quite interesting."

Master Zang pondered in silence. Seeing Li Feng disappear in the distance, he took out his cell phone, coughed a few times, and then made a call.

"Master Zang? What's the matter?"

Zhao Xinyue's puzzled voice came from the phone.

"Xinyue, something big has happened! Is your boyfriend's name Li Feng?!"

"The hospital just called me and said he fainted in the room again, but the door is locked and no one can open it! I remember you have a key, hurry up and see what's going on!"

Master Zang shouted at the top of his lungs.

Lao Wang next to him covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

"Li Feng?!"

"Li Feng——"

Zhao Xinyue's face suddenly turned pale when she heard this.

Then, with a loud howl, he wrapped himself in a coat, rushed out the door, and ran towards the hospital dormitory.
