Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Lucky Uncle

Watching Cai Ming’s movements, the previously excited and expectant Zhao Guangran was no longer looking forward to it.

Gong Ruwen was dumbfounded, "Is this boxing?"

How was it so different from the boxing he knew? Could this kind of boxing really beat bad guys?

Zhao Xuran was calm. Anyway, Gong Ruini didn’t see any issues on his face. She could only say he truly was an old fox.

Gong Ruini just wanted to make a snide remark in her heart. No wonder Cai Meina didn’t know, because this wasn’t passed down from the Cai Family at all.

This entirely resembled the Tai Chi Boxing that many old men and women used to engage in before square dancing became popular.

It’s just that not many people practice Tai Chi Boxing nowadays. If this set of moves is practiced well, and the skills are mastered, fighting would be no problem. But the current movements are just slow and gentle.

One wonders how Zhao Guangran could like it. In his view, boxing should be quick-handed, to easily knock the opponent to the ground. But now, this set of moves felt like it wasn’t exerting force, but was already on the track of knocking someone down.

Even though he hadn’t learned this for long, his movements were already in place. When Cai Ming started practicing Tai Chi Boxing, he wouldn’t think too much, as his master said to ease into the state, that way, results would come quickly.

Zhao Guangran thought maybe the moves were slow at first, and then would speed up, but after watching for a long time, he still felt the moves were so slow, slow enough to make him fall asleep.

"Bro, do you think this move can hit someone?"

"Why do I feel like even an old lady can’t be beaten by it?"

Zhao Guangran kept shaking his head. In his eyes, he labeled Cai Ming’s kind trip as foolish, estimating that he probably never fought before, not knowing the essence of fighting at all.

Zhao Xuran was initially quite confused, but as Cai Ming’s boxing time went on, his expression grew more serious.

Gong Ruwen felt embarrassed to badmouth, after all, it was his uncle boxing, and he suggested that Ni Zi practice boxing at home, saying her health would improve. Gong Ruwen was considering whether this set of movements was more suitable for women.

After finishing a set of movements, Cai Ming felt physically comfortable, but it was a pity his nephew and Zhao Guangran were already busy with their own stuff.

As for Gong Ruini, she looked like she wanted to sleep.

Instead, Cai Ming was surprised that the one he thought wouldn’t follow his lead, Zhao Xuran, was so excited, "Uncle, are you practicing Tai Chi Boxing?"

Someone actually knew this boxing? Cai Ming was surprised, "It’s Tai Chi Boxing, have you practiced it?"

Oh wow, it seemed like many knew about it, but Gong Ruini recalled she had never seen him practice it.

Practiced it? Cai Ming’s eyes lit up. If possible, he wondered if they could spar a little. Ever since his teacher left, Cai Ming hadn’t had an opponent in a long time.

Cai Ming’s eager eyes made Zhao Xuran take a few steps back, waving his hands, "I’ve just watched people practice it, I don’t know how at all."

"But uncle, how do you know it?" Zhao Xuran asked excitedly.

Isn’t it just Tai Chi Boxing, is it necessary to be so excited?

You have to know that this thing was widespread back in the day, many old men and women would practice it a bit every morning. Is it really necessary to be so excited?

Cai Ming initially didn’t think much of it, feeling lucky to find someone willing to teach him this set of moves. Of course, it was also the other party’s token of gratitude.

But seeing Zhao Xuran’s excited look now, was there something special about this set of moves?

"If I’m not mistaken, it should be Yang Family Tai Chi Boxing. While not totally authentic, it should have been passed down by core members." Zhao Xuran was excited, knowing that back then, his grandmother hoped the other party would teach him a little, but they refused, stating they wouldn’t teach non-Yang Family members.

Oh my goodness, Gong Ruini gasped. Even though she didn’t know much about many things, she knew that the Yang Family was quite exclusive. Even if they took in outside disciples, they taught altered Yang Family Tai Chi Boxing. How could her uncle have such luck?

Cai Ming was also stunned, "Are you saying this set of moves is powerful?"

Cai Ming was variously embarrassed, knowing it should be something not passed out from the family, but was taught to him just like that, "Well..."

Knowing the importance of this thing from Zhao Xuran’s mouth, Cai Ming hesitated about whether he could teach it to Gong Ruini and the others.

Although the person who taught him didn’t say it couldn’t be passed down, they also didn’t say it could, which troubled Cai Ming.

"Uncle, I don’t have any interest in this set of moves." Forget it; it’s just Tai Chi Boxing. Gong Ruini thought she wouldn’t spend much time and effort on it, so she might as well not learn it, sparing Cai Ming a difficulty.

As for Gong Ruwen and Zhao Guangran, who previously made a fuss about wanting to learn it, they no longer mentioned it, so they could be ignored.

Zhao Xuran was somewhat disappointed. If he hadn’t spoken up, he might have learned this set of Tai Chi Boxing. But learning it this way, is it really okay?

This way seemed very unethical. Zhao Xuran could only suppress the urge to learn, "Uncle, I won’t learn it either, but uncle, practice more, it’s good for your health."

"Then heavy farm work shouldn’t be a problem." Zhao Xuran wanted to know why Cai Ming had such a good opportunity, but didn’t know how to ask.

Gong Ruini didn’t have such concerns, "Uncle, who taught you?" She didn’t expect this son, not favored by the Cai Family, seemed to have some good fortune.

"Someone I once saved by chance. After nursing him back to health, he taught me this set of moves, saying it was to thank me for saving his life."

Wow, saved his life! Then teaching this set of moves wasn’t too much. Gong Ruini figured the person might very well be a Yang Family direct descendant; otherwise, he wouldn’t have taught it so easily.

"Uncle had good luck." Zhao Xuran wholeheartedly agreed, but only Cai Ming would have such good intentions.

In this era, saving a stranger, let alone helping a relative in trouble, often didn’t happen.

Was it good luck? Cai Ming was embarrassed to say he was actually forced into rescuing, though later on, Cai Ming did volunteer to help, and the other party taught him many things.

Since Cai Ming didn’t want to discuss the topic further, neither Gong Ruini nor Zhao Xuran pressed on.

Knowing too much about this might not be good. The person might have attracted enemies, and if they found out Cai Ming saved the person, who knew what trouble it might bring?

"Actually, I know some ordinary boxing that I can teach." Cai Ming originally felt the slow movement was suitable for Gong Ruini, but since it couldn’t be taught and Gong Ruwen had no interest, he remembered there was another energetic set of boxing.

This set of boxing completely fascinated Gong Ruwen and the others. They kept bouncing and saying they must learn it, much more popular than the Tai Chi Boxing from before.
