Until the road is lit

Chapter 1: Crop Handling Techniques - Every hoe and flip is a skill



It hurts so much

Su Jie put down the hoe, his hands covered in blood blisters.

He wanted to stand up and take a breath, but his back was sore and he couldn't stretch his muscles at all.

As a city student, working in the fields is very fresh at first, but after half a day of hoeing, my arms weigh a thousand pounds, and I feel like ants are tearing at my bones. What's even more unbearable is that my hands are rubbed with blood bubbles by the hoe, and I feel heartbroken when I touch them.

Su Jie has been here at the 'Minglun Martial Arts School' for two days now.

He enrolled in a short-term summer martial arts training class.

The martial arts coach is called Gu Yang and did not teach them any martial arts movements. On the first day, I recruited the entire study group and went directly to the countryside, picking up hoes to help the left behind elderly who had lost their labor force dig land and do farm work.

For two whole days, what Su Jie learned was to use a hoe, dig, flip, and break the soil, making the hard soil soft and breathable, suitable for planting.

He didn't expect that doing farm work would be so tiring, and now he feels the true feeling in the poem "hoeing the rice at noon, sweat dripping down the soil.

I will definitely not waste food in the future. Digging and digging with a hoe is actually a technical job

These days, he has been observing coach Gu Yang's hoeing movements.

Every time Gu Yang hoes the ground, he steps on it with one foot, his body levering like a lever, without using any force. The heavy hoe is lifted lightly and then quickly falls down, fiercely hooking into the compacted soil, flipping over and over like throwing a big fish out of the water.

A large piece of soil was arched up, and with a flick of the hoe, the soil shattered into pieces, as soft as steamed pastries.

Watching Coach Gu Yang hoe and plow the soil, feeling relaxed and at ease, seems like an art. At the beginning, Su Jie didn't even know how to use a hoe, and even with all his strength, he couldn't carry out deep plowing. But through observation, learning, and speculation, he finally learned Coach Gu Yang's way of hoeing and turning the soil, and felt much more relaxed.

When digging, you need to twist your waist, follow your shoulders, and use the strength of your waist and abdomen. This way, when lifting the hoe, your body will pounce forward slightly, just like a cat pouncing on a mouse. Use your whole body's strength to press down, so that the hoe can penetrate deep into the soil. When turning the soil, you also need to use ingenuity and strength. First, step down and dig inside, then turn it up once

Coach Professor Gu Yang was very detailed, even going so far as to instruct the instructor to dig the soil.

The sun was scorching hot in the sky, and everyone was so exposed that they shed a layer of skin.

Although I don't know what connection this digging and digging has with martial arts, Su Jie still studies very seriously.

But he still couldn't learn the elasticity of Coach Gu Yang's body, which twists and turns easily.

Every movement of Guyang is full of elasticity, as if there are many steel wires twisted around the springs in his body, making him not tired at all from doing farm work.

There must be many unknown tricks involved in this.

Su Jie thought to himself.

Hi, Su Jie, are you tired? Have a drink of water

Not only Su Jie, but also a foreigner named Jos next to him, was covered in blood bubbles.

Jos is a tall white man in his twenties. He is British and has muscles all over his body. It seems that he often goes to the gym. He is also carefully observing coach Gu Yang's digging, turning, and breaking movements, studying diligently and with high standards. His farming speed is much faster than Su Jie's.

Joss came here to learn Chinese kung fu because of his reputation. Just two days ago, he entered this summer's short-term martial arts class with Su Jie and was assigned to a dormitory.

D City is the hometown of martial arts, with numerous martial arts schools scattered throughout. Minglun Martial Arts School is one of the most famous martial arts schools, having produced many combat champions, top-level bodyguards, and kung fu stars over the years.

The martial arts atmosphere here is good, attracting a large number of foreigners to study across the oceans.

Minglun Martial Arts School is located next to a town in the suburbs of the county. This town is very lively, and foreign tourists carrying bags can be seen at any time.

Joss' Chinese is terrible, but he has a great admiration for Chinese Kung Fu and knows many of the terms in Chinese Kung Fu, but he doesn't know where he learned them from.

Joss has studied many martial arts, including judo, Muay Thai, Maga, Filipino shortsticks, Russian Sambo, and is best at Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. However, he still feels that these are not the strongest, so he came to China to learn real kung fu.

It is worth mentioning that Jos is now dressed strangely, with a shaved head and wearing a gray monk costume, with a yellow ribbon tied around his waist, making him look like a foreign monk who has been converted for a long time.

Thank you. "Su Jie took the water handed to him by Jos and took a deep sip. He felt much more comfortable and asked Jos in fluent English," Jos, why do you always dress up as a monk

Whenever it's okay, Su Jie will have English conversations with Joss to improve his speaking skills. Su Jie is not a bad student in school, on the contrary, he always achieves good grades in exams. He is the "top student" in the eyes of teachers and the "child of others" in the eyes of other parents.

In the past two days of chatting, Su Jie's spoken English has improved and he has also learned a lot of combat knowledge.

Originally, Su Jie knew nothing about martial arts. The reason why he came here to study was because it was a very humiliating thing, to deal with someone in one breath, with one bet.

Ou'o'o'o, "Jos said with a bald head," wearing monk's robes and shaving your head is the key to quickly getting into the state of practice. When I practice karate, if I wear other clothes, I can't fully immerse myself, but wearing that white Taoist robe, pants, and belt makes me feel relaxed and carefree

Do you think digging is kung fu? "Su Jie didn't dwell on the issue of clothing, but asked

another question.

Of course it's kung fu, "Jos's bald head reflected sunlight and a layer of oily sweat, which was quite comical. He said mysteriously," Digging soil is a unique exercise method of Chinese kung fu. We have two essential training exercises for practicing martial arts, which are hitting tires with a big hammer and flipping tires. Do you know

Understood. "Su Jie nodded and said," I've seen the training of those fighters on many TV networks, using hammers to hit and flip tires. It's said that they can exercise in many places Yes, "Jos said as he adjusted his posture to dig and turn the soil." The hammer hitting the tire is the key to training the stability of the core muscle group and the explosive twisting power of the human body. Turning the tire can exercise the coordination of the whole body and the strength of the waist and legs. Now that we dig and turn the soil, we have practiced both of these methods, and have also reached many places that cannot be exercised. The tire is an unchanging thing, while the soil is variable. No one knows if there are hard stones under the soil, so when we dig with a hoe, we cannot use our strength. We need to first explore the virtual and real in the soil, and then make accurate judgments. The earth, like your opponent, never knows where he will come out. One move, you won't know what's hidden in the soil

until you open it upn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Jos, you know so much." Su Jie was shocked. He didn't think that a foreigner could find so many philosophies from his hoeing.

Before coming to study, I studied Chinese Kung Fu in detail. I also learned Wing Chun. "Jos lowered his voice as if to say a secret, and then his hand shook twice like a snake:" Snake Fist,

Crane Fist

Joss, you're a bit mediocre, "Su Jie almost burst out laughing, but as soon as he smiled, his abdominal muscles became sore and he turned into a grimace.

These past few days, my muscles have been aching all over my body while working.

What does' Zhong Er 'mean? "Joss was puzzled.

Middle two means very handsome, "Su Jie forced herself to laugh.

Damn it, "Jos said to Su Jie with his middle finger," you think I'm stupid

I don't know what martial arts this hoeing and digging is, and Coach Guyang doesn't know.

"Su Jie still wanted to figure it out. He had a spirit of breaking through the sand pot and asking the truth, and he was also good at thinking and accepting new things in his studies.

Amitabha Buddha, this is Zen, martial monks, and qigong. You need to comprehend them on your own. "Jos leaned against his hoe, clasped his hands together, pretending.

Su Jie couldn't help but give him back his middle finger.

Two people in a group, massage each other to relax, and use activating oil to massage the sore

area

Coach Gu Yang shouted to stop.

The students were granted amnesty and quickly put down their hoes, lying on the plastic film

on the ground, massaging each other's back and waist pain one by one.

Jos and Su Jie are a group.

Su Jie, I see you're running out of strength. I'll help you press it first, and when you regain your strength, then help me press it. "Jos gestured for Su Jie to lie down.

Su Jie was eager to lie down quickly. At this moment, Joss took out the "Minglun Brand" active oil from his pocket, opened the lid, and there was a pungent smell. He poured it onto his palm and began massaging Su Jie's waist, back, legs, shoulders, arms, abdomen, knee joints, soles, and other areas that were sore from hoeing and digging.

The method of massage is to rub, knead, pinch, and press.

On the first day of enrollment, in the first hour, Coach Gu Yang taught this very simple and

easy to learn. After finishing the study, I went to dig soil and have been digging until now. After applying this activating oil, it started to burn hot, like chili water, but after a while, it became very cool and comfortable again. Su Jie was about to fall asleep, extremely relaxed. Huoluo oil is not produced on the market, but is distributed by schools after enrollment. It is said to be a special secret recipe.

The founder of Minglun Martial Arts School is named Liu Guanglie. He is an old martial artist who is proficient in medical skills and has mastered many secret formulas of traditional Chinese medicine. After founding the martial arts school, he also opened a traditional Chinese medicine factory to produce various medicines for injuries caused by falls and injuries, and the results were very good. Anyway, Su Jie thinks it's better than all kinds of live oils on the market.

If it weren't for this kind of lively support, he, a city boy, would have been exhausted long

ago.

After thirty minutes of massage, it was Joe's turn to lie down, and Su Jie came to press. At this point, Su Jie had already regained his physical strength.

It's true that practicing martial arts without medication will eventually lead to hanging, which is comfortable... "When Joss was being massaged, he let out a long sigh and said a martial arts proverb in somewhat stuttering Chinese:" You Chinese farmers are too great. You spend so much time hoeing and plowing the ground, and you definitely didn't use any active oil massage. You can still persist. You work for a lifetime

Joss, why did you come to China to study kung fu? I see that your fighting skills are very good,

and there has never been a figure of Chinese kung fu on the World Fighting Championship stage. Everyone doubts that Chinese kung fu is a scam and cannot be fought. Do you still believe in Chinese kung fu so much? Have you ever seen a master? "While massaging Joss, he expressed his doubts.

He came to the martial arts school for two days and never saw anyone with strong martial arts

skills. What he learned was very simple, just digging and digging the ground, which could be used for combat? Even if he were killed, he wouldn't believe it.

Su Jie is not afraid of hardship, but he is afraid that after enduring hardship, there will be no

effect and he will go astray.

Competition is competition, fighting is fighting, and we must not confuse them, "Joss recalled." I first learned Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which is a ground technique that is very useful in competitions and has won several championships in small regional competitions. Later, in a street fight, I locked up a thug, but in the midst of rolling, my head hit a street corner on the ground, causing a lot of blood. I knew that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was only suitable for the arena. In complex streets, you and others were wrestling on the ground, and I didn't even know what accidents would happen. So I started learning boxing, but later I was knocked unconscious by someone using my leg. I went on to learn Muay Thai and Kickboxing, but once I met a gang member who was black and learned Chinese Kung Fu Hongquan. My skills were higher than

his, but he was as fierce as a tiger. I didn't dare to face his attack and was completely defeated.

So I came to study

Your practical experience is too rich, isn't it? "Su Jie had already seen many scars on Joss' body, all of which were caused by street fights, maybe one person facing multiple people, or maybe holding weapons, and various situations could be encountered.

Joss, what should I do if I want to quickly improve my fighting skills and win? "Su Jie asked a

crucial question.
