Chapter 1056: Memories of Mu Guangchen
Time flies and it is the end of September. In one day, the Dashun visiting group will set off.
At dawn in the morning, Chen Chuan came to Yangzhi City alone, walked along the dilapidated streets into the old district in the west of the city, and headed towards the place where he had learned martial arts from Teacher Yu.
This place is not much different from when he left. There are privately modified sheds everywhere, the ground is still bumpy, and there are messy electric wires and clotheslines on the ceiling.
Now this old city area is going to be demolished and rebuilt, and most people have moved away. So when I came here, I could only occasionally see a few houses left, and I also saw a tabby cat standing on the eaves looking at me.
When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he saw that the "House of Fists" sign was still there on the wooden telephone pole. Although it was a little faded, the words were still clearly recognizable.
After taking a look, he walked into the alley. Walking in the narrow corridor, he couldn't help but think that he had walked in just like this.
At this moment, he felt as if he had reunited with his original self. Back then, he had walked along this crooked path with ignorance and curiosity, persistence and dreams, and then crashed into this world.
Although several years have passed, that belief has not changed.
It seemed like only a short time had passed before he had walked out of the alley and arrived at the open playground.
Not much has changed here since he last left.
From the concrete building in front came the sound of boxing sandbags banging, just like the sound he heard when he first came here.
He walked towards there and entered the room. He saw Lu Ke hitting the sandbag hanging there. He had a boxing belt tied in his hands and some sweat appeared on his body. When he saw Chen Chuan coming in, he smiled.
"Brother Chen, here you go!" As he said that, he picked up a pair of boxing gloves and threw them at him.
Chen Chuan caught it and immediately recognized that it was the same pair of boxing gloves he had used before.
He smiled, and immediately used his mental strength to temporarily lower his physical fitness to the time when he first started practicing fighting techniques. He walked forward, stood in the position he had stood before, and started hitting the sandbag.
At this moment, he didn't care about anything else, but just immersed himself in the initial process of training wholeheartedly, experiencing the difficulty, fatigue, seriousness, and emotions of hope and striving.
After a long time, when the sky outside gradually brightened and the dust dancing in the light became clearly visible, the sound of hitting the sandbags stopped.
The two sandbags were still shaking there, and the residual sound was still lingering in the room.
Chen Chuan exhaled, took off his boxing gloves, and was about to put them aside when Lu Ke bumped his fists together and said, "Brother Chen, take the boxing gloves back with you. You didn't take them last time."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said okay.
Lu Ke chuckled, untied his boxing belt, and waved at him, "Let's go upstairs and have a couple of drinks."
Chen Chuan nodded, and walked up the stairs that he had walked many times with him, and arrived at the rooftop.
The early morning sun rose from the gaps between the buildings, and its light shone on them from one side, covering the entire roof.
Lu Ke ran over quickly, took a bottle of soda from the plastic basket below, and threw it to Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan reached out and caught it. This was the same Shazhen soda he and Lu Ke had drunk before. He flicked his thumb, opened the bottle cap, took a sip, and felt a refreshing sensation.
He walked to the side, looked at the chair he had sat on before, and asked, "Are these still there?"
"They're all here."
Lu Ke patted his hands and said, "We've already told the Iron Chain Gang to keep everything for us. I cleaned this place beforehand when I came here yesterday, so I made sure it's spotless."
Chen Chuan couldn't help but recall that when he followed Yu Gang to practice boxing in the past, Lu Ke would have already cleaned and tidied everything when he came early in the morning.
Lu Ke picked up the soda bottle, gulped down a sip, raised his arm to wipe his mouth, and said, "Back then, hey, I could still fight back and forth with you, Brother Chen!"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "That's right."
Lu Ke chuckled again.
Chen Chuan asked, "How is Mr. Yu doing recently?"
"It's fine. The implant is a perfect match, and Master's strength has been restored. Master doesn't want to advance any further. He just wants to teach a few good students who can inherit his fighting skills. I'm also working hard. I can't let my fellow junior brothers and sisters laugh at me, right?"
When Lu Ke spoke of this, he was in high spirits, talking about some of the things he encountered after first arriving in the Lower Town, and then about his later experiences.
Chen Chuan listened quietly on the side. He had heard Lu Ke mention some of the things, but he had heard some of them for the first time.
"Everyone is so nice. They even asked me to say hello to you, Brother Chen. Oh, and this..." Lu Ke took out a photo from his pocket. "We took it together. I'm giving it to you."
Chen Chuan took it. It was Yu Gang, Lu Ke, Lan Xinnan, and some other students wearing training uniforms. They must be Yu Gang's new students. He said thank you and put the photo away.
By this time the sky was completely bright, and the golden sunlight enveloped the entire old city, shining warmly on them.
Lu Ke turned his head and looked, then suddenly pointed outward at a faint gray shadow on the distant horizon, "Look, Jiaoshan!"
His expression no longer showed a gloom weighing on his heart, but a sense of relief.
Because he has walked out of there, not only has he walked out as a person, but he has also gotten rid of the knot in his heart.
"And there's the Dada Kindergarten, the only kindergarten here. I used to hear nursery rhymes there. There's the Deng family steamed bun brand there. I'll definitely bring one for Master this morning. He loves it. But unfortunately, Brother Chen has to take his medicine every day, so he can't eat this.
And here, there's Lu's Bicycle Repair Shop. Some people are so unscrupulous, they leave nails on the road. I always go there to fix it. It's quick and good."
He enthusiastically pointed out the familiar places one by one. Some of these places still had people in them, but many of them were deserted.
After he finished speaking one by one, he suddenly felt a little lost.
At this moment, his arm was touched. He turned around and saw that it was Chen who passed him a bottle of soda. He grinned, thanked him, took it, drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said, "It feels so good."
Then he added, "Brother Chen, this place will probably become better in the future, right?"
Chen Chuan said affirmatively: "Yes. Once the renovation is completed, everyone who lived here before will come back."
"That's great." Lu Ke raised the bottle, toasted towards the sun, and took another sip.
Chen Chuanshuo asked, "Brother Lu, what are your plans next?"
Lu Ke said, "It's Loop Logistics. Our logistics business has expanded to the ground. In the future, we will expand to the entire central city and all the surrounding cities."
At this moment, you can see that his eyes are filled with passion and hope for life, as well as the passion and vigor that he should have at this age.
At this time, the sun gradually rose into the sky, and the light shone down, making the whole place bright. The two of them no longer stood, but sat down, chatting here, and drank all the soda here.
After the last empty bottle was placed in the basket, Chen Chuan said, "It's time for me to go." He stood up and said, "Goodbye, Brother Lu. When you see Teacher Yu, give me my regards."
"Brother Chen, I will take him there. Goodbye." Lu Ke also stood up.
Chen Chuan waved to him and jumped directly from the roof. After landing, he walked away with light steps.
Lu Ke walked forward a few steps, stood on the rooftop, waved his hand vigorously, and said, "Brother Chen, have a safe trip!"
Chen Chuan waved to him behind his back, then walked out of the alley and continued along the path he had taken before.
On the way out of the city, he passed by Wuyi College. Here he couldn't help but stop for a moment, looking at the unchanging school gate. He seemed to see himself standing at the gate pushing a bicycle. He looked up and saw birds flying by.
He smiled slightly, turned around and left, walking all the way to the National Avenue. At this time, an airship was parked here. Seeing him appear, the hatch below slowly opened. When he walked over, his figure flashed and he appeared in the cabin.
As the propeller blades turned, the airship door closed and returned to the central city.
At noon, the fast airship arrived at the central city, but did not stop. Instead, it passed over the central city and headed towards the southern industrial area.
When it reached the sky above the industrial zone, the airship stopped steadily on the mooring tower. Chen Chuan got off and walked towards the station.
Mr. Zhuan sent a telegram two days ago to inform me that he had received the goods and that they would arrive before this afternoon. Judging from the time, they will be here soon.
After the skyline was connected, the passenger flow here gradually increased, and more people came to the central city from the surrounding areas. The station was crowded with people carrying large and small bags, and security personnel were needed to maintain order.
After Chen Chuan waited here for more than half an hour, he heard a whistle and another train entered the station. When it slowly stopped and the doors opened, a large number of passengers poured out like a stream, and the station suddenly became noisy.
Mr. Zhuan came down from above, and Mr. Mask said loudly: "This way, this way, left, left, the suitcase is on the right..."
Mr. Zhuan looked very serious. After walking a few more rounds, he squeezed out of the crowd. Then he saw Chen Chuan and walked towards him.
"Officer Chen, I'm here." The masked man shouted, but he was speaking through the spirit realm, so the people around him were unaware.
Chen Chuan also saw the two of them and came forward to greet them. "Two seniors, thank you for your hard work on the journey. Shall we return to our base first?"
Mr. Zhuan said, "We've already booked the next return flight, but time is tight, so we won't be going. We came here this time specifically to bring this to you."
He picked up the suitcase in his hand and said, "We asked a senior from the faction to speak up and secured support from headquarters. This is a box of jade bone ointment, and it's of the highest quality. Officer Chen, please take it with you on your journey."
