Northern Myanmar: Years of Dehumanization

"Compared to thousands of other ingenuities, ours seems a bit stupid, but it is very practical..."

"So, what method did you use?"

Hearing Xiaomei's answer aroused my curiosity even more.

"It's actually not difficult. When we were playing cards just now, did you look under the table?"

Xiaomei didn't answer, but asked me this question first.

"Put the mahjong on the table, let me see what is going on under the table..., huh? You mean, you are playing tricks under the table? But your hands have not been put down..."

Looking at Xiaomei's cunning expression, I realized that they might be tampering under the mahjong table, but their hands did not leave the mahjong table.

"We didn't use our hands, we actually used our feet!"

Xiaomei spread her hands and told how the two of them did it.

After listening, my face darkened.

It seems that the two of them have already agreed on how to obtain the card type.

For example, if you want pie, the other party's foot should step on it first, then pause for a few times and then step on it continuously. The number of steps is the number of pie you want.

There are also ropes, that is, strips, which are different from this pie. At the beginning, you step on it twice in a row, and then step on the next number in a row.

They also have agreed upon ways to obtain other special cards.

In this case, if there is no one around and your attention is on the table, it is indeed easy to communicate, but it is just a little laborious.

Later I learned that there are many kinds of Qianju, such as Shuiyun sleeves and other tricks on mahjong.

However, such thousands of numbers require practice, and the practice time is relatively long.

Xiaomei's method can be said to be relatively simple, and it is a bit unexpected.

However, there are limitations. For example, it cannot be used when there are many people.

But if you are playing with others and no one is watching, it is a good choice.

I don't know if this is considered cheating, but it does count as cheating.

And it made me very angry, so I gave both of them a hammer.

"In that case, do I always use this method when I accompany Sister Qiong to play mahjong?"

My eyes lit up, this method is indeed quite practical.

Moreover, there may not be many people around by then.

"But, aren't you going to lose? It's not easy to win, and isn't it easy to lose?"

Xiaomei looked at me doubtfully and woke up the dreamer with a few words.

Yes, Diao Peng said that he would lose to the big boss's partner on purpose. If he won, she wouldn't be happy, right?

Even if you can do it by then, can't you just give up the opportunity to do it?

Even in this case, you still need to understand how to play mahjong.

We played a few more rounds with the two of them. This time they didn't tip off anyone, so there were winners and losers.

It got dark, so I left here. After playing mahjong all afternoon, I was really tired.

On the way back, I touched the electric baton attached to my back. Many times, I relied on it to beat others.

Thinking back to when I went underground for mining, if it weren't for Brother Chun, I would have been beaten badly by Xiao Liu and the others without weapons.

A thought came to my mind: Only by being strong can you be strong!

He immediately decided to learn fighting skills from Leng Feng.

When I returned to the workroom, I called Leng Feng out.

"Brother Bai, do you want me to accompany you to the gun tower again?"

Leng Feng next to me looked at me lying on the railing with an indifferent expression.

After hearing his words, I staggered. I didn't expect that I was such a person in his heart.

"How can there be such a beautiful thing? I want to practice fighting skills with you, very powerful ones."

I lit a cigarette, leaned against the railing, took a puff, and glanced at Leng Feng next to me.

"Really want to learn?"

"Really learned!"

Looking at the confused look in Leng Feng's eyes next to me, I answered firmly.

"Okay, then you can walk on horseback for an hour today."

Leng Feng nodded, glanced at me, and asked me to walk on horseback for an hour.

"I'm a student of fighting. What kind of stance should I take? Shouldn't I be grappling, boxing or something like that?"

I frowned slightly, not knowing why Leng Feng asked me to tie my horse. In my mind, this was a punishment measure.

I thought this was Leng Feng testing me?

"Why? Let's do this, hit him with all your strength."

Leng Feng didn't explain too much. He raised his hand, opened his palm, and asked me to hit him with all his strength.

"Then be careful."

I quickly swung my arm in a few circles, and then hit him straight, but Leng Feng blocked me easily.

"Now try to resist me again. I won't use my full strength."

Leng Feng said, taking a stance.

Damn it, I twitched the corner of my mouth, but the arrow was on the string and I had to fire it.

I saw Leng Feng’s left foot behind him and his right foot in front, and he hit me directly with his left hand.

A huge impact hit the palm of my right hand, causing me to step back several steps and hold on to the railing instead of sitting on the ground.

I only knew that Leng Feng was very powerful at beating people, but I didn't expect that he looked thin but was surprisingly strong.

"Do you understand anything?"

"You are stronger than me..."

Leng Feng's face darkened when he heard my answer.

"Holy shit, I'm talking about my actions just now. If I wanted you to punch like that, I wouldn't be that strong.

But just now I exerted force on my calf and used my waist as the axis to throw out this punch, and the power was as you can see. "

"Actually, humans have three hearts, and calf muscles count as two. They are often used in fighting skills. Legs and boxing are all inseparable."

Leng Feng said, kicking forward, his legs were sharp, without any sloppiness, and he had a strong sense of power.

"People often say that the waist and horse are integrated into one. In fact, the two calf muscles burst out and use the waist as the axis to concentrate the power into the hands. Only in this way can the blow be lethal."

"I asked you to do the horse stance just now to exercise your calf muscles. It is also the basis for practicing fighting skills."

Although I didn’t know what Leng Feng said, I didn’t have any doubts after hearing Leng Feng’s words.

Later, it turned out that Leng Feng was absolutely right.

Now that everything is explained clearly, of course I started walking!

However, this process is not as simple as I imagined.

It only took me an hour to do the horse stance, but it took me three hours to complete it!

Because after more than ten minutes of pricking, my legs were shaking, so I had to rest for a while before starting again.

This is also the reason why I never stand up when chiseling people, because I can’t even stand still for twenty minutes without moving.

Not to mention other strenuous exercise...
