"Huh?"
Xiaoxu realized he had let sothing slip, but quickly defended himself, "Uncle, Brother Gangzi, look at , I’m not sniffling anymore.
This is all thanks to Brother Zhang helping through it! I hardly relapse these days!"
Xiaoxu desperately explained, afraid of any misunderstanding.
’Seems like he really isn’t sniffling anymore...’
You wouldn’t know if it wasn’t pointed out.
Now when the big uncle looked at Xiaoxu, he found he indeed rarely sniffled.
’Earlier, I was so mad at these two kids, I didn’t even notice... who would have thought this Brother Zhang, who took them away, was helping him quit?’
The big uncle felt a wave of happiness for no reason.
He thought it was a good thing that Xiaoxu could quit, even if it’s just initial progress, it’s a good start.
But.
When the big uncle saw his two children arguing for an outsider against him,
there was still a bit of discomfort in his heart, but his words softened a lot,
"Who is this Brother Zhang you’re talking about? Where is he?"
The big uncle wanted to visit personally and thank him.
"He really is a good person," Gangzi took a good look at Xiaoxu and then shook his head, leaning back against the wall, "Yeah, where’s the guy, we should repay him."
Gangzi spoke with so unseriousness.
When he ntioned repaying, it also sounded a bit provocative.
But in truth, he was being well-intentioned.
And after he saw the matter settle down, he wasn’t really in the mood to join in the fun.
However, the big guy misunderstood and hurriedly reminded them earnestly, "Brother Zhang is truly a good person! And his martial skills are very high! If Brother Gangzi goes there, he might get beaten."
The big guy valued loyalty and didn’t want to see Brother Gangzi get hurt.
"Cough..." Gangzi suddenly choked a bit, then said helplessly, "I wasn’t planning on going, but after you said that, now I’m curious to see this Brother Zhang you’re talking about."
After Gangzi finished speaking, he turned to Uncle, "Uncle, pick a day?"
"Alright." The big uncle was also curious about who this Brother Zhang was that his juniors spoke so highly of, "I checked the calendar a few days ago, tomorrow’s a good day to go out."
"Then tomorrow it is." Gangzi nodded and then looked at Xiaoxu, "You said his martial arts are high, just how high?"
"Brother Gangzi is really going with us?" Xiaoxu was taken aback, then, fearing Brother Gangzi might get beaten, he explained with difficulty, "Brother Zhang can walk on water, that’s very high lightweight skill, can you imagine, Brother Gangzi?"
"What do you an walk on water?" Gangzi had never heard of it.
"It’s like..." Xiaoxu looked around, then walked towards a nearby small pond, took off his shoes, and stepped inside,
"when the water reaches knee level, you don’t sink any further."
Xiaoxu demonstrated very seriously.
The big uncle watched with a face full of doubt.
Gangzi gradually opened his mouth wide, feeling a chill down his spine, and said, "The Brother Zhang you’re talking about, is he even human? Could he be a ghost?"
...
The next day, in the morning.
Outside the small restaurant.
Two black cars were driving up front and back.
Arriving at the entrance of the small restaurant.
The big uncle and Gangzi got out of the car, followed by Xiaoxu and the big guy.
At the sa ti.
As the big uncle and Gangzi appeared, quite a few people on the surrounding street were secretly watching.
"Isn’t that the big uncle from the walled city? I’ve seen him on TV before!"
"I know that long-haired guy! He’s Gangzi! One of the best fighters on the streets! He ranks in the top ten at Mantis Finch’s fight club as well!"
"Whoa! Why are these bigwigs coming to our little street?"
The onlookers whispered among themselves.
This ti, a thug boastfully said to them, "You guys don’t know?
Chef Brother Zhang killed Er Gui, so he’s the boss around here now! They’re definitely here to discuss matters!"
"Is that so?" The neighborhood understood.
"I’m with Chef Brother Zhang myself!" The thug proudly nodded, and finally walked into the small restaurant under everyone’s watchful eyes.
As soon as he entered the restaurant.
Seeing the big uncle and Gangzi standing inside the restaurant,
he weakly leaned against the door, not daring to speak.
"Is Chef Zhang here?" the big uncle glanced around and looked at Ah Hang holding the nu.
The restaurant owner, out visiting relatives today, missed this mont of public attention.
"Looking for my big brother?" Ah Hang looked at the big uncle, finding him increasingly familiar, and couldn’t help but cautiously ask, "Big Uncle?"
"Yes." The big uncle politely cupped his hands together, then asked again, "Is Chef Zhang here?"
’I didn’t see it wrong, did I?!’ Ah Hang felt an uncontrollable excitent seeing ’an elder along the way’ like the big uncle cupping hands towards him as he was just a small fry.
After several seconds,
he finally reacted and hurriedly said, "Big Uncle, please wait! I’ll go call for my boss!"
"No need."
At the entrance to the kitchen,
Zhang Feng heard the commotion, slowly stopped his martial stance, and stepped out at this ti.
"Hello, Big Uncle."
Zhang Feng still had his chubby, affable deanor.
After exchanging greetings, Zhang Feng looked at Ah Hang, "Clear the place."
"Alright!" Ah Hang started asking the few custors inside to leave, "Sorry about this, the al’s on ."
"Thank you, Brother Hang, thank you, Master Chef." The guests, upon seeing the situation, actually wanted to leave.
"Sorry for interrupting business." The elder uncle apologized and courteously said, "Could we have a few bowls of wonton?"
Although these guests didn’t settle their bill, the elder uncle treated them.
It wasn’t appropriate to give money directly, so he could only order als.
Because this chef, Zhang Feng, was the one running the restaurant.
"Alright." Zhang Feng looked at Ah Hang, "Go and make it."
"Okay!" Ah Hang quickly departed.
’Can soone of that physique stand on water?’ Gangzi kept observing Zhang Feng, feeling very skeptical.
Especially as he examined Zhang Feng’s legs again, noting that there was no particular technique in his walk.
This was completely just an untrained, chubby chef.
’Are these two kids lying to ?’ Gangzi glanced at Xiaoxu and the big guy.
But at this mont, these two kids were not looking at Gangzi; instead, they ran affectionately to Zhang Feng.
"Boss Zhang!"
"Boss Zhang!"
After a month spent together, they enjoyed hanging out with Zhang Feng, feeling he could resolve any matter.
"The book you wanted, we’ve had soone searching for it." Xiaoxu continued to report on the task progress.
"Brother Zhang." The elder uncle also smiled at Zhang Feng, "Thank you for helping my little nephew beat addiction, a small gift, please don’t refuse."
The elder uncle looked at Gangzi.
Gangzi took out an exquisite box from his pocket.
Inside was a fine jade thumb ring.
The elder uncle continued, "I heard from my clan kid that when you were at the border, you liked looking at jade, so I had soone procure a piece this morning."
As he spoke, the elder uncle introduced Gangzi, "Gangzi, my best young brother, the second in charge within the clan."
"Hello." Gangzi offered the box, without exerting force in the process of giving it.
Because in his view, Chef Zhang couldn’t fight.
"Boss Zhang, don’t refuse." anwhile, the big guy quietly said to Zhang Feng, "My father went all out, this jade stone could fetch hundreds of thousands on the mainland."
In those days, hundreds of thousands were mainland currency.
"Thank you, elder uncle." Zhang Feng did not refuse, directly accepting it.
Because practicing martial arts and buying dicine both require money.
At the sa ti.
After Zhang Feng accepted the jade, seeing how the people from the clan were so refined, he also straightforwardly said, "Actually, I also need Xiaozu and the others’ help, it’s just mutual assistance, can’t be called a favor.
Nowadays, the elder uncle gave such an expensive gift.
I’m Zhang Feng, naturally reciprocating kind acts."
Zhang Feng looked at Gangzi,
"I see this friend walking with his body slightly leaning right, the left leg lacks power, must have been injured before.
If elder uncle trusts , I can help this friend with dicine and pair it with a training regin, which should eliminate so of the root causes within half a year.
However, a more detailed condition requires careful bone examination and analysis."
’What the hell?’ Gangzi suddenly looked at Zhang Feng, ’Listening to Xiaoxu and others say, this person can ridiculously tread water? But now, he’s seeing through my internal injury in a glance, what on earth is he, human or ghost?’
Gangzi was full of questions.
’He knows dicine?’ However, the elder uncle held expectations.
Because ever since Gangzi was injured years ago working for the clan, he saw many doctors, but none could heal him.
But now, Zhang Feng saw it at a glance, a capability many doctors lacked.
After all, Gangzi walking seed no different from an ordinary person.
’Although so old doctors could tell, they’re all at a loss...’
The elder uncle pondered, also holding a hope of redying, first expressing thanks,
"Thanks for the trouble, Brother Zhang."
After speaking, he looked at the dazed Gangzi, "Get seated properly? Let Brother Zhang examine you."
"Ah?" Gangzi hadn’t co to his senses yet.
Zhang Feng didn’t hesitate, pressing his hand against Gangzi’s chest, then onto his shoulder.
Gangzi instinctively wanted to resist, but under Zhang Feng’s power, he was like a puppet doll, obediently sitting on the bench.
At this mont, Gangzi was completely stunned.
...
Noon.
Under the secretive gaze of the neighborhood.
The elder uncle and others erged from the small restaurant and got into the car.
In the back seat.
The elder uncle looked at the silent Gangzi, "How do you find this Chef Zhang? How’s his skill? Can he hold down West Street?
In a period, when the spokesn’s eting occurs, do you think he’ll be squeezed out by others?"
Gangzi didn’t reply, and after silently reflecting for a few monts and moving his now-relaxed leg, he finally exclaid:
"Legend has it, at the end of the civil era, a grandmaster could examine bones and cure ailnts, scout mountains and catch tigers, even the fiercest forest beasts appeared as ta kittens before them.
I always considered it legend, thinking human power couldn’t achieve that.
But today, I personally witnessed it!"
Gangzi, rarely this serious, looked at the elder uncle,
"Uncle, do you think soone who can scout mountains and catch tigers could fail to pacify a small West Street?
Now you should ponder, can this river contain him?
I can say this, with his skills, if he doesn’t abide by rules, it’s like King Yama calling forth, whoever he nas, dies."
