There is a man named Yang Er in Nanyang County who is proficient in boxing. He can carry a boat full of food on his shoulders. Hundreds of people stabbed him with bamboo poles, and all the places where the bamboo poles were stabbed were broken, so Yang Er's reputation was very loud. Yang Er and his students are strolling in Changzhou. Whenever he teaches martial arts in the martial arts school, there are many people watching.
One day, there was an old man selling garlic. The old man is old and weak, and he keeps coughing. After watching Yang Er's martial arts, he satirized Yang Er. Everyone was very scared, so someone ran to tell Yang Er. Yang Er flew into a rage when he heard this. He called the old man over and punched him on the brick wall in front of him, and his fist sank into the brick wall more than a foot deep. Then he proudly said to the old man, "old man, can you be like me?" The old man said, "You can hit the wall like this, but you can't hit people." Yang Er was even more angry and shouted, "Old man, can you let me punch?" ? Don't blame me for being killed. "The old man smiled and said," I am a dying old man. If you use my life to complete your reputation, you will die unsatisfied "So two people called many people, made a written evidence in public, let Yang Erxian rest for three days.
Three days later, the old man tied himself to a tree and took off his clothes to show his stomach. Yang Er rushed to the old man from ten paces away and gave him a punch. The old man didn't say a word, only to see Yang Er suddenly fall to the ground and kowtow to the old man and say, "The younger generation knows it was wrong." Yang Er tried to pull out his fist, but he was trapped in the old man's stomach and couldn't move. After Yang Er begged the old man for a long time, the old man let go of Yang Er, only to find that Yang Er had fallen off a bridge. The old man slowly picked up his garlic and left until he finally refused to tell everyone his name.
