Reborn Ace Hack

There was no 30th lunar month before the Spring Festival this year, so the 29th lunar month was New Year's Eve. This day was also Xiao Yuan's birthday. Xiao Yuan did not publicize his birthday everywhere, so in the United States, only Xia Jiuying and Xia Jiuying knew about his birthday.

There was no one else except Jiang Hua. Of course, on this day, people in China who knew about his birthday, such as his mother Yang Jingchen, Lin Ran, Tang Xinyu, Gu Lang and others, still called him and congratulated him on the phone.

Happy birthday.

Happy time always passes quickly. One day passed quickly. The next day was the first day of the new year. Xiao Yuan and Xia Jiuying went to school in the morning and participated in the New Year party organized by the Berkeley Chinese Association. In the afternoon,

Went to Banshan Martial Arts Hall to pay New Year greetings to Tong Banshan. Xiao Yuan and Xia Jiuying came to pay New Year greetings, which made Tong Banshan very happy. One of them actually gave them a red envelope. This was the only red envelope they received in the United States.

On the morning of the second day of the new year, Xiao Yuan and Xia Jiuying went to the Banshan Martial Arts School. After meeting with Tong Banshan, they set off for San Francisco together. Jiang Hua left Berkeley on the night of the first day of the new year and went to San Francisco in advance. Originally, Xiao Yuan

Out of concern for Xia Jiuying's safety

He wanted to let Xia Jiuying and Jiang Hua leave together, but Xia Jiuying insisted on going with him extremely firmly. The reason given was that her sudden departure could not cause Tong Banshan to be alert. Xiao Yuan's persuasion was ineffective, and finally

I could only agree.

Therefore, on the way to San Francisco, Xiao Yuan kept tense and paid close attention to Tong Banshan's every move, but Tong Banshan seemed very relaxed and happy. He chatted with Xiao Yuan along the way and talked about many things in the Chinese martial arts world in the United States.

anecdote

The strange thing is that compared to this, Liu Wenwen, who was sitting in the same car with them, had a cold face all the time. She sat in the passenger seat and said nothing. Occasionally, she would snort when she heard Xiao Yuan and Tong Banshan chatting happily.

, expressing some dissatisfaction in his heart.

In fact, Xiao Yuan's worries were somewhat unnecessary. The several-hour journey from Berkeley to San Francisco was uneventful, and nothing happened until they arrived outside the Chinese Martial Arts Association in San Francisco's Chinatown.

Tong Banshan, Xiao Yuan, Xia Jiuying and Liu Wenwen, as well as another male disciple named Lin Ping who acted as the driver, were welcomed into the compound of the association. This is a large courtyard facing north and south, with east, west, north and south.

There is a building with the Chinese architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with carved beams and painted pillars, and many red lanterns hung on it.

The lanterns were written with gilded words such as New Year or fortune, and there were some colorful flags fluttering in the wind on the four corners of the eaves of the building. The courtyard was paved with green bricks, and there were some large tanks filled with water around them, with slogans such as

There were red notes like "The tank is full of water," and many people were walking back and forth in the courtyard, creating a busy New Year scene.

"Master of Five Elements Bagua Sect, Master of Berkeley Banshan Martial Arts School, Tong Banshan is here!"

When Xiao Yuan and others were looking at the yard, the waiter who led them in sang loudly. Following his shout, several old men about the same age as Tong Banshan came out and greeted Tong Banshan enthusiastically.

Banshan started chatting, and after Tong Banshan's introduction, Xiao Yuan realized that these people were seniors in the Chinese martial arts world in the United States. They were either the master of a certain sect, the director of a certain martial arts gym, or, like Tong Banshan, a combination of both.

When these seniors heard Tong Banshan introduce Xiao Yuan as the next generation successor of the Five Elements Bagua Sect, they all showed great interest in Xiao Yuan, and at the same time they all congratulated Tong Banshan on finally finding a good disciple.

From the conversations between these seniors and Tong Banshan, Xiao Yuan also confirmed one thing. Tong Banshan has indeed been looking for the next generation successor of the Five Elements and Bagua Sect these years. Such news made him unable to help but speculate on his previous speculations.

Some doubts.

"Does Tong Banshan really just want to cultivate himself and be his next generation successor?"

"Hmph!" Liu Wenwen stood behind Tong Banshan, watching several seniors congratulating him one after another. She snorted lightly, turned to Xiao Yuan and said, "Xiao Yuan, if I were a man, who would get you.

"

Xiao Yuan smiled and ignored Liu Wenwen. Instead, he exchanged glances with Xia Jiuying, and both saw some doubts in the other's eyes.

"Huh, what are you pulling!" Liu Wenwen saw that Xiao Yuan ignored her and instead flirted with Xia Jiuying, so she snorted again, turned her head to the side, and stopped talking.

Tong Banshan and a few others did not chat for too long. They followed the waiter who had led them in to the building on the east side and arranged accommodation for them. Among them, Tong Banshan lived in one room, and Xiao Yuan and Lin Ping lived in one room.

Xia Jiuying and Liu Wenwen were originally supposed to live in the same room, but Xiao Yuan mentioned that Xia Jiuying did not live here, so Liu Wenwen occupied one room alone.

After arranging their accommodation, Tong Banshan called Xiao Yuan, Liu Wenwen and Lin Ping together and explained a few words before letting them move around freely. So Xiao Yuan took Xia Jiuying out of the federation compound and took her according to the pre-inquiry instructions.

Good route, went to Huaxia General Office

The consulate showed their identity, and soon a staff member led them to see the Consul General of the Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco. Xiao Yuan briefly explained the situation to the Consul General, then left Xia Jiuying at the consulate and left alone.

After leaving the consulate, Xiao Yuan returned to Chinatown. He did not join the association immediately. Instead, he walked around Chinatown and felt the atmosphere of overseas Chinese celebrating the Spring Festival. Many traditional Chinese programs, such as lion dance and dragon dance, were held there.

Chinatown can be seen everywhere, and some foreigners take the opportunity to come and join in the fun.

They set up a stage directly on the street to perform some songs and dances that were very different from the Oriental style, adding a bit of exotic flavor to Chinatown with a strong Oriental charm, and also made Xiao Yuan realize that this is really not China, but the United States on the other side of the ocean.

I couldn't help but feel a touch of homesickness welling up in my heart.

It was already noon, and Xiao Yuan felt a little hungry, so he randomly found a Chinese restaurant that was still open and went in. He ordered two dishes and a bowl of beef noodles. After it was served, Xiao Yuan took a pair of chopsticks.

I picked a noodle and put it in my mouth, savoring it carefully.

"It's not as authentic as the domestic noodles, and the meat is a little bit less." Soon, Xiao Yuan came to such a conclusion. Just as he was sighing, a pair of chopsticks suddenly reached into his bowl, and he covered it up with lightning speed.

Erzhishi ate the few pieces of beef in his bowl.

"Damn it, why are you trying to steal my meat?" Xiao Yuan quickly looked up and saw Jiang Hua standing in front of him with a pair of chopsticks, smiling playfully and still chewing in his mouth, so he said dissatisfiedly.

"Hehe, if you don't grab meat to eat, why don't you grab noodles to eat?" Jiang Hua sat across from Xiao Yuan and said, snapping his fingers, calling the waiter not far away, and said, "Give me one

For the bowl of noodles, remember to ask for double portions of meat, I’ll pay extra.”

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The waiter was also a Chinese young man, so he naturally understood Jiang Hua's words, took note of his request, and turned around to leave.

Xiao Yuan looked at the clear soup noodles in front of him and smiled bitterly. At the same time, he made up his mind to grab a few pieces of Jiang Hua's meat when he got his noodles. However, he couldn't express this idea, and he had more important things to do.

ask.

"How did you find me?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"I have been hanging around the Chinese Martial Arts Federation. I saw you when you came, and then you sent Xia Jiuying to the consulate. I will guard you on the way back, and I will naturally find you." Jiang Hua said.

.

"How's it going? I came a day early. Did you find anything?" Xiao Yuan asked again.

"No." Jiang Hua shrugged and said.

"I was following Tong Banshan in the federation just now, and I heard him chatting with several other seniors. He said that he has indeed been looking for the next generation of successors over the years." Xiao Yuan said.

"Why, does this discovery make you less suspicious?" Jiang Hua asked.

"Yes, at least in this aspect, the suspicion about him has been eliminated." Xiao Yuan said.

"Doubt, whether it is one point or ten points, must be treated as ten points. Therefore, Xiao Yuan, you must not be careless. At least from today on, you must pay attention to everything. You must be cautious in your words and deeds. You must not be careless.

If you are caught by others, you should pay special attention to the behavior of others. If there is any trouble,

Move and leave immediately. In addition, you must pay attention to your diet to prevent anyone from poisoning you. Furthermore, when you compete with others on stage tomorrow, you must not be competitive. Once you find a problem, immediately admit defeat. The one I gave you for your birthday last year

The vest must be worn closely..." Jiang Hua looked serious and warned one by one.

Xiao Yuan listened carefully and nodded frequently. Although Jiang Hua had told him these words several times when he was at Berkeley, he was still very moved by Jiang Hua's repeated warning at this moment.

At this time, the waiter came over with a bowl of steaming beef noodles on a tray.

"Sir, please use your noodles with caution." The waiter placed the noodles in front of Jiang Hua.

At this moment, Jiang Hua was still telling Xiao Yuan one by one, and did not immediately pick up the chopsticks to eat the noodles. However, Xiao Yuan pushed his bowl forward, next to Jiang Hua's bowl, and then put the chopsticks away.

Use it as a broom to fill the Jiang Hua bowl with a layer of

The meat was swept into his bowl with a splash, and then he pulled the bowl in front of him. He quickly picked up a few pieces of meat and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he said to the stunned Jiang Hua: "Jiang Hua, you are stunned.

What are you doing, go on, what else needs attention."

"Something else that needs attention is, Xiao Yuan, give me all my meat!" Jiang Hua gritted his teeth and shouted. He picked up the chopsticks and stretched them over, and fought with Xiao Yuan to get to the busy place.

It made other people eating in the restaurant look at him frequently and were dumbfounded.

"You two, please dine in a civilized manner." At this time, a waiter came over and said politely.

"Oh, okay." Xiao Yuan and Jiang Hua then stopped fighting. After sitting firmly, they looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Xiao Yuan, what are your plans after dinner?" Jiang Hua asked after the waiter left.

"There are no plans, I have free time today." Xiao Yuan said.

"I'll take you to a place that will make you feel excited," Jiang Hua said.

"Where?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"Keep it secret." Jiang Hua said with a mysterious smile.
