Chapter 920: Under the Dusk, Deep in the Yard
In an instant, Han Jiaren was pulled behind her by Jin Jingcheng. Jin Jingcheng stared at the two bodyguards with a keen eye and clenched his fists with his right hand. At this moment, Jin Jingcheng was not nervous. Although he felt that the other party was like soldiers, like special vanguards, and most of them were very good at it, but with Jin Jingcheng's skills, he would not be afraid.
Kim Jingcheng was actually amused, thinking that when he was in South Korea, he followed two powerful close-up bodyguards at any time. Now he was at the Down Martial Arts Hall in Chinatown, New York, and was intercepted by two bodyguards.
Being intercepted by a bodyguard? Jin Jingcheng seems to have not experienced this feeling for a long time. The most impressive time in his memory was when he attended Zhang Shilin's birthday party in 2004, he was intercepted by a snobbish bodyguard at the door of house-of-jazz.
Jin Jingcheng only hopes not to encounter that kind of shame this time. After all, he is following the woman Han Jiaren, in front of women, especially in front of the most beloved woman, even Jin Jingcheng will be particularly proud of her.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened.
When Jin Jingcheng was staring at the two bodyguards, the two bodyguards were also carefully looking at Jin Jingcheng.
After confirming something, the two bodyguards looked at each other and conveyed a message with their eyes. Then, the two bodyguards suddenly bowed respectfully to Jin Jingcheng together, then turned around and walked away, and walked back to the two corners on both sides of the courtyard door to guard silently.
Jin Jingcheng was even more surprised and thought to himself: "Does these two people know me? But I have clearly never seen them."
Jin Jingcheng suddenly felt that these two bodyguards were a little mysterious.
Han Jiaren was even more surprised and asked Jin Jingcheng in surprise: "Are they the bodyguards you arranged?"
Jin Jingcheng said frankly: "No, if it were my bodyguard, why did I do so Xiaoyi just now?"
Han Jiaren nodded, thinking that Jin Jingcheng subconsciously pulled her behind her to protect her, she felt a little moved in her heart, but Han Jiaren was no longer surprised by this. Whenever she encountered such a dangerous moment, as long as Jin Jingcheng was by her side, she would definitely protect her. Even if she put herself in danger, this was something that Han Jiaren loved Jin Jingcheng very much.
Han Jiaren said: "But, I think they respect you very much, and they even bowed to you. Do you know them?"
Jin Jingcheng said frankly: "I don't know you, and I feel strange."
Han Jiaren nodded again and couldn't help asking: "Then... are they bodyguards arranged by your master?"
Jin Jingcheng shook his head: "It shouldn't be, my master doesn't have this habit."
Han Jiaren said: "But..."
Jin Jingcheng rubbed Han Jiaren's tied hair and said with a smile: "Okay, don't think too much. Those two bodyguards have no malice towards us. Well, even if they have malice, this is my master's martial arts hall. Not to mention two bodyguards, even twenty bodyguards, my master and my senior brothers can handle it."
Han Jiaren nodded obediently, but said, "I was very nervous at first, but now it's better, it makes me even more nervous."
Jin Jingcheng smiled and said, "No matter how nervous you are, I am here."
Han Jiaren said "um" and subconsciously stretched out his hand. Jin Jingcheng knew it and held Han Jiaren's hand.
In this way, Jin Jingcheng led Han Jiaren and habitually pushed open the gate of the martial arts hall, and habitually half-closed the gate from the inside, then took Han Jiaren into the classical Chinese courtyard.
It is said to be a courtyard, but in fact it is not big. If it is placed in China, it is roughly equivalent to the area of the merger of two farmer homes in the countryside. However, in Chinatown, this courtyard is already quite luxurious.
Jin Jingcheng has thought more than once that if this courtyard is to be sold, it is best to conduct an auction, because it not only occupies a considerable area in very expensive areas, but also is a Chinese classical courtyard of some years. Once auctioned, it will definitely be sold at a very high price, at least more than 5 million US dollars.
Of course, Jin Jingcheng was just thinking about it quietly in his heart. He would not tell Master Tang about this, otherwise he would have been criticized by Master Tang, and Master Tang would not have auctioned off this martial arts hall easily.
What Jin Jingcheng was curious about was why Master Tang had such a martial arts school in Chinatown, New York? After all, the era is different now. Even if Master Tang is a master of kung fu, not many people can spend money to practice martial arts now. Moreover, Jin Jingcheng knew that Master Tang was very strict in accepting apprentices. If he didn't like it, no matter how much money the other party paid, he could not be his apprentice.
The yard seems a bit ridiculous, but under the rendering of the last twilight, it highlights a Chinese classical beauty.
Jin Jingcheng clearly remembers that when he first walked into this yard after he was reborn in 2003, several people wearing practice clothes were practicing martial arts in the yard.
Now, because it was already evening and it was getting dark, Master Tang’s disciples did not practice martial arts, but stood in a corner of the courtyard, resting and talking, but they were still wearing practice clothes.
When Jin Jingcheng first came in 2003, Master Tang’s disciples in this martial arts hall were all Jin Jingcheng’s senior brothers. Now, not only are there senior brothers, but also two more junior brothers. These two junior brothers were newly accepted by Master Tang in the past three years, and only two new disciples were accepted in three years. It can be seen that Master Tang is really strict in accepting apprentices.
Several brothers wearing practice clothes standing in a corner of the yard looked at Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren. After recognizing Jin Jingcheng, they smiled and greeted Jin Jingcheng, and Jin Jingcheng also smiled back.
Han Jiaren felt novel. Whether it was this classic Chinese yard or the few people wearing practice clothes, she felt like she had suddenly walked into another world, forming a sharp contrast with the bustling and noisy city outside New York.
This novel feeling invisibly weakened Han Jiaren's tension.
Jin Jingcheng led Han Jiaren and walked deep into the yard.
There is a house deep in the yard, and there are three figures in front of the house.
One is an old man with gray hair, who is over seventy years old, sitting alone on a small stool in the corner of the corridor. There is a small wooden table in front of him, with three home-cooked dishes and a bottle of white wine on the wooden table. The old man was eating dishes and drinking wine alone. Undoubtedly, he is Old Man Ji, an old servant in the martial arts hall.
Interestingly, although Old Man Ji was eating and tasting wine alone at this time, there was a pair of big scissors on the ground next to the small stool he was sitting on. However, Jin Jingcheng was no longer surprised. He clearly remembered that when he first came to this martial arts hall after he was reborn, Old Man Ji took big scissors to trim flowers and plants in the small flower pond. Later, every time Jin Jingcheng came to visit Master Tang, he would see Old Man Ji. No matter what Old Man Ji was doing, the big scissors were always around him.
In addition to Old Man Ji, there are two figures in front of the house.
The two of them were squatting together on the stone threshold at the main entrance of the house, talking about something to each other.
One of them is a middle-aged man with a gentle face, who is Master Tang.
Another middle-aged man is also a middle-aged man. Jin Jingcheng doesn’t know him. Who is he?
