Chapter 4 The enemy is oneself, the obstacle is in the heart
Chen Chuan put the things back, closed the box, walked to the living room, found a dial phone, picked up the receiver, and said, "This is Nianzhai..."
A familiar voice came from the other end of the microphone: "Hey, Chen Chuan, what are you doing? Stop being bored at home and come out for a walk?"
He recalled that it was the voice of his middle school classmate Ding Jiao. He heard a very noisy voice on the other side of the phone. It should have been a call from a phone booth on the road. He asked: "Where are you?"
"Where else can I be? At my old place, Zizi Snack Street, Dali and Miangua are both there. What have you been doing lately? I can't even see you."
Chen Chuanchuan: "You guys go ahead and have fun. I have something busy recently, so I won't go."
"Hey, are you looking for a place to go? I said, if you have anything to do, don't be bored. If you can help me, help me. If nothing else, isn't it easy for me to find you a position in this factory at home?"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "I won't be polite if I want to find you."
He didn't say that he was admitted to Wuyi. Ding Jiao was very loyal in his work, but he was also a big mouth. If he did say it now, all the classmates would know about it the next day, and there would definitely be many people coming over to congratulate or make friends. He still had to prepare for the entrance re-examination when he came down, and he really didn't have time to deal with that.
"Okay, by the way, you know..." Ding Jiao's voice suddenly became louder, "Han Laosan went to Molan, and it's spread all over the place! Damn, what kind of shitty luck did his kid have! His grades Not as good as you!"
Chen Chuan was slightly surprised: "Molan Company?"
"Which other one is there? This guy is so loud!" As he spoke, Ding Jiao's jealousy seemed to overflow from the phone.
Chen Chuan hummed.
Molan Company, whose full name is "Molan Kaoling Company", is said to be headquartered in Central City. It is a relatively important branch in Yangzhi City. On the surface, its main business is cosmetics. In fact, this company has already penetrated into Yangzhi City. All aspects of the city and surrounding counties and towns, and most of the people's basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation are related to Mo Lan and its companies.
According to Nian Fuli privately, half of the members of the Municipal Advisory Bureau took Molan's money, and the remaining half helped Molan count the money. Several civil affairs chiefs always looked at Molan's company when doing things.
This company also has an independent security team and its own place to train company employees, which is where his classmate should go. That's really not easy. Maybe there is some connection in the family? I vaguely remember that the Han family seems to be in charge of water affairs?
After Ding Jiao finished talking, he thought of something again and raised his voice and said, "By the way, don't forget the graduation dinner at the end of next month."
Chen Chuanchuan: "Remember, I will never forget."
"Hey, I'll hang up first, Dali and the others can't push me."
Chen Chuan hung up the phone and returned to the room. When he came down, he was going to prepare for the re-examination. Counting from June, it looked like there were still three months left, but there was only so much time, and it was far from relaxing. when.
And the reason why his predecessor was killed is also very elusive. Although it was in the suburbs and far away from the city, he decided to go out and wander as little as possible if it was not necessary.
He took out a map of Yangzhi City and spread it on the table. He also took out a small book marked "Military Records." His eyes wandered as if he was looking for something, and he marked several places with a pencil.
Time passed by, and soon it was time for dinner. Nian Fuli and his family came back one after another, and the house became lively. When the family sat at the dinner table, Nian Fuli said, "Boy, are you looking for somewhere to go today?"
Chen Chuanchuan: "Yes, uncle."
Nian Fuli hummed and said, "How is it?" He just asked casually, expecting that today was the first day and there would probably be no results.
Chen Chuanchuan: "I went to Wuyi University today."
"Wuda?" Nian Fuli suddenly looked at him, very surprised, "What are you doing there?"
Chen Chuan smiled and said: "I was about to tell my aunt and uncle that I passed the entrance exam of Wuyi University today and will move to the school when the semester starts."
"Admitted to Wuhan University? You?"
Nian Fuli was shocked. He looked Chen Chuan up and down with his eyes wide open, as if he was meeting this nephew for the first time.
Where is Wuhan University? I don’t know how many people try to squeeze in every year, but Wei Laohu, whose son he can’t deal with, has been admitted to Wuhan University for a whole year!
He couldn't help but wonder: "You didn't cheat, did you?"
Yu Wan suddenly became unhappy and pushed him: "Why can't Chan'er pass?"
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Uncle, what can I do to cheat? I don't know anyone and I don't have any money. Why should Wu Yi's teacher help me?"
"That's true."
Nian Fuli glanced at him a few more times, with an indescribable complexity in his eyes. Chen Chuan also noticed that there was a hint of melancholy in his aunt's expression, and more of a sense of relief.
After a while, Nian Fuli picked up his chopsticks and knocked on the table, saying: "Wuda is a way out. If you go to Wuhan University, you will have gold bricks in your pocket in advance. But you still have to pass the re-examination, right?"
"Yes." Chen Chuan nodded, "There will be a re-examination for admission."
"That's it." Nian Fuli knocked again and said, "Boy, let me tell you, there is a way here. Even if you are admitted, there is a big difference between those who have passed the re-examination and those who have not. I don't know. How could Wuhan University let you pass, but even if you can enroll, you may not be able to pass the re-examination. "
Yu Wan suddenly became anxious and said, "The child's father, what should I do?"
Nian Fuli waved his hand at her, looked at Chen Chuan, and said, "Xiao Chuan, what were you originally planning to do?"
Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "I originally planned to find a boxing club to learn, but I don't know where is more reliable. I just wanted to find out from my uncle."
Nian Fuli leaned back, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't go to the boxing club. That place is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. The doorways are too deep and you spend a lot of money. You may not be able to learn real things, and it's easy to get covered in mud."
Chen Chuan nodded and sincerely asked for advice: "Uncle, what should I do?"
Nian Fuli rubbed the green stubble on his scalp and said, "There are still two months until enrollment, right?"
Chen Chuanhua: "Yes, uncle." In fact, it is three months before the official start of school, but new students who apply for the exam need to report for admission one month in advance, so it is not wrong to count it as two months.
Nian Fuli said: "Xiao Zhuan, I will find someone for you. You can learn from him for a while and try to pass the exam this time. This person is not an easy person. If you can learn two moves from him, you will benefit a lot."
Yu Wan asked with concern: "Do I need tuition?"
Nian Fuli said: "Don't worry about this matter." Then he said to Chen Chuanchuan: "Xiao Chuan, come with me after dinner."
Chen Chuanhuan said: "Okay." After finishing dinner, the two pushed their bicycles out the door. About five minutes away, they arrived at the Baofeng District Patrol Bureau, where Nian Fuli worked.
This place was originally a fortress built during the war years, but was later transformed into a patrol bureau. It was all made of steel and concrete, so it looked particularly heavy from the outside. It has not yet completely darkened, and the way in has been blocked by roadblocks.
When they saw Nian Fuli and Nian Fuli, a patrolman wearing an armband slowly walked up from behind the roadblock and said, "Hey, why are Nian Tie back? Nian Tie is not on duty tonight."
Nian Fuli threw out a cigarette, put his lips towards Chen Chuan, and said, "This is my nephew, bring him here to see the world."
The inspector put the cigarette under his nose and smelled it. He glanced at Chen Chuan casually, without asking any more questions. He waved his hand, and two inspectors came up to move the roadblock.
Nian Fuli said thank you, motioned for Chen Chuan to follow him, and pushed the cart inside.
After the two of them entered, the armband patrolman glanced at the street outside a few more times, and then slowly turned back.
This was the first time for Chen Chuan of the Patrol Bureau to come here. He was a little curious at first, but most of the buildings here only had a few holes on the outside. They looked solid and dull, very depressing. There was really nothing interesting to see, so he lost interest.
The two people turned around, as if in a big circle, and finally came to a place that looked like a warehouse. The lights were very bright, the terrazzo floor was covered with soft cushions, and there were a lot of exercise equipment and stacks stacked around it. Tall wooden box.
More than a dozen inspectors took off their shirts, wearing only the lining, exposing their strong arms. They squatted or stood in a circle. Among them was an elegant and gentle middle-aged man in a formal suit. Explaining something.
"You can try standing on one leg first and keep your posture still."
All the patrolmen immediately stood on one leg. Some were staggering at the beginning, and some stood for a long time, but even those who were shaking could stand firm after several attempts.
One of the inspectors said, "Mr. Wen, what's so difficult about this?"
Mr. Wen smiled and said, "Then please close your eyes."
The inspectors closed their eyes as instructed. This time, most of them began to shake violently as soon as they came up, and they also began to say all kinds of swear words, but there was a young inspector who still stood firm.
"The cockscomb is awesome!"
"This posture is so motionless that you can't tell."
"Golden Rooster is independent and image-wise!"
The inspectors were talking about each other, and the young inspector closed his eyes and said proudly: "I used to play this when I was a child, and fight sheep and bulls. I can stand still for a moment like this. Mr. Wen, what else? Although Let me try!"
Mr. Wen smiled and said, "Inspector Ji is very good. This time you can stand on the box and try it again."
"It's not easy, look at me!"
The young inspector climbed onto the box excitedly, and then...
"I'll go!"
He had only stood for a while when he began to swing violently, and then had to jump off.
He looked back at the box and felt incredible. Even after switching from the ground to the box, the place where he stood was not necessarily smaller, and the box was not necessarily that high. But as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt flustered. Can't stand anymore.
"Wait, I didn't stand firm just now."
The young inspector was still not convinced, so he went up and tried again, but this time it was worse than before. He started shaking as soon as he closed his eyes. He jumped down and said in confusion: "That's weird, Mr. Wen. What's going on?"
Mr. Wen smiled and said: "Because your brain is telling you that you are in an unstable environment and wants you to refuse such a move."
He pointed to his head, "This is your brain competing with you. For example, when some people stand at a high place, they have the urge to jump down. It is also based on this principle. Essentially, your brain wants you to Stay away from danger. But we can coordinate our bodies through certain training.
In the old days, martial artists would choose to practice on the edge of a cliff in order to overcome mental barriers. Nowadays, we don’t have to be so extreme. We can choose to train on the edge of a high platform and slowly adapt to it.
In fact, there are many things we need to overcome in our daily lives. For example, when you see a fist coming, you will subconsciously close your eyes. It's fine with fists, but if it were a murder weapon, you might be dead in the blink of an eye. As inspectors, you must keep your sights on the target at all times, unless you have better senses to replace it. "
Someone subconsciously asked: "Better senses?"
Mr. Wen smiled and said nothing more.
When Chen Chuan heard these words, his heart moved slightly. If he used his "second self" to see instead of himself, would it be considered a better sense?
The "second self" basically exists within a few meters of oneself, and is one with him. If it can replace the normal line of sight, it can not only be seen from behind, but also from high places, and can be seen from various angles. Observe your opponent…
Just as he was thinking about it, Nian Fuli took the initiative to step forward, greeted Mr. Wen, and said, "Mr. Wen." Then he motioned for Chen Chuan to step forward, patted his shoulder, and said in a loud voice, "My nephew, just now Admitted to Wuhan University.”
"Wu Da? Wu Yi Academy?"
"Oh, that's amazing! You're such a great nephew in this year!"
"We have a treat for the new year!"
More than a dozen inspectors joined in the fun. If you want to get ahead these days, you must either enter a higher education institution or enter Wuhan University. Among other things, many people who graduated from Wuhan University work as security consultants for officials in the Civil Affairs Department. If they are lucky enough to go to Central City, they can reach the sky in one step.
Nian Fuli also felt that his face was bright, and said: "Mr. Wen, my nephew has never practiced boxing before. He just thought about it on his own and somehow passed the entrance exam. I'm wondering if he can't let him pass the re-examination later. I just want to ask Mr. Wen to give me some advice because of my temper. Mr. Wen, do you think so?"
Mr. Wen looked at Chen Chuan, pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, Captain Nian, let's talk over there." The inspectors were very sensible, and when they heard this, they all dispersed one by one.
Chen Chuan and Nian Fuli followed Mr. Wen to a spacious corner. Mr. Wen said in a sincere tone: "Captain Nian, with all due respect, I don't want to delay your nephew."
Nian Fuli was startled, "How do you say that?"
