"Your name is Ji Xiaotao?"
"I..." Ji Xiaotao couldn't help but take a step back and grabbed Chen Chu's arm tightly.
Chen Chu was also startled. The man in front of him had very long hair and a long scar on his face. The scar was like a caterpillar crawling on his face. As he spoke, the scar surged, like a long worm wriggling and crawling.
"You, who are you?" Ji Xiaotao instinctively took a step back.
Chen Chu was also afraid, but he steeled his brow and took a step forward. He suddenly remembered what Old Man Zhang had said: Ji Xiaotao was in a terrible state today. A chill ran down his spine, but he still protected Ji Xiaotao behind him, whispering, "Xiaotao, hurry up! He's going to catch you! I'm fine..." Ji Xiaotao's eyes welled with fear. She didn't want to leave, but she was afraid. She wanted to leave, but she couldn't bear to leave Chen Chu. By then, the man had already emerged from the alley and was approaching them.
"Hurry up!" Chen Chu pushed her, reached out to grab the bicycle, raised his arms and threw it at the man.
Ji Xiaotao ran forward a few steps, then fell, scraping her knees and bleeding all over the floor. She didn't care and continued running into an alley. The man pulled out a knife from his pocket.
"Fuck! Crazy Ji, I'll kill your entire family!"
The 26-inch bicycle hit the man, but he just used his arm to block it without even frowning. Chen Chu's legs were shaking, but he still stood there without moving.
"roll!"
The man pointed the blade at Chen Chu, causing his calves to cramp.
"You...Brother, if you have the guts, go find Crazy Ji. Every wrong has its perpetrator, why are you looking for his sister?"
"Fuck you!" The man stabbed him with a knife.
Chen Chu closed his eyes and thought to himself, it's over, it's over, I'm dead, I'm dead... His legs were shaking, he forgot to dodge, and closed his eyes tightly.
"Chen Chu! You coward, lower your head and punch!"
Suddenly, a voice behind him shouted loudly, and Chen Chu's head exploded.
"Old man Zhang?"
He dove, barely avoiding the knife, then spun around, using the force to deliver a swift and powerful punch. According to the boxing routine, this punch was supposed to hit the opponent's lower abdomen. Chen Chu closed his eyes and didn't dare look at the man, as the punch landed squarely on his crotch.
"I'm rough!"
The man covered his crotch. Chen Chu was stunned. Old Man Zhang's voice came from behind him again. He sounded somewhat helpless.
"Hey, run..."
Chen Chu ran away, but in the opposite direction of Ji Xiaotao. The man stood up, glared at Chen Chu, cursed, "Little bastard," and then chased after him. Chen Chu ran for his life, and the man stopped after chasing him for two blocks. By then, Ji Xiaotao had already run to the nearby police station to call the police. Chen Chu didn't know how far he had run. He seemed to be exhausted. He walked around in a big circle before leaving the county. He found a small store and called Ji Xiaotao. He breathed a sigh of relief when the phone was connected.
"Xiao, Sister Xiaotao, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm at the police station. My brother will be here soon. That man is Lao Ba, and he just got out of prison..." Ji Xiaotao said and cried.
After all, she had never experienced this kind of thing.
"Chen Chu, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Chen Chu smiled.
"I...I didn't mean to abandon you, Chen Chu, I..."
"Sister Xiaotao, I told you to run. Besides, if you don't run, we'll all be in danger... Be good, don't cry..."
Chen Chu said a few more words of comfort before hanging up the phone. He threw down a dollar and told the shop owner that he didn't need the change. Then he walked in a big circle towards the village. The county town was about twenty miles away from the village, and Chen Chu had walked in a circle for almost forty miles. He felt that he would not run into that old scar. When he returned to the village, his legs were a little weak. Instead of going home first, he ran to Old Man Zhang's shabby house. The old man was lying on the kang, drinking.
"Old man, I... I'm back."
Chen Chu smacked his lips.
"Well, so slow..." Old Man Zhang then took another sip of wine.
"Am I too cowardly?" Chen Chu lowered his head, as if he was being boiled.
"Well... it's quite cowardly, but it's okay. This time, I'll let you know that Kung Fu and fighting are two different things, and fighting and killing are two different things. Otherwise, if you only practice Kung Fu but can't fight, or can fight but can't kill, you might as well not practice Kung Fu..."
Chen Chu was a bit confused. Old Man Zhang smacked his lips. "Stinky boy! That guy today might come looking for you later."
"Why, why did you come to me?" Chen Chu shuddered with fear.
"Why? You ruined his plan, so he's here to take revenge on you! I'm telling you, I don't care about you. If you want to live, I can teach you kung fu, but learning kung fu doesn't guarantee survival. You have to practice."
"Practice? How do I practice?" Chen Chu asked.
"Of course, you can't practice by yourself. Isn't school starting now?"
"Yes, school has started."
Old Man Zhang sighed, "Why are you so stupid? I told you to go to school tomorrow and find someone to fight with. Do you understand?"
"I..."
"Kung Fu isn't something you can just practice; it's something you learn by fighting with others. You've already learned the ancient boxing techniques, but why can't you beat him today? If I hadn't reminded you, you would have been killed! Boy, wake up!"
Chen Chu sat for a while. He slowly calmed down. Then he walked towards home. Through this experience, he thought a lot. He originally wanted to play like this with Ji Xiaotao, as well as Wang Lu and Xiaolian. He wanted to fuck them one by one and live a comfortable life. But now he understands that if he can't even protect his own woman, what's the point of playing? He walked to the door of his house. Liu Cui, who was holding firewood outside the gate, was stunned for a moment. It was already dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, which was so tempting. Chen Chu was a little depressed, but he was still hard. Seeing that there was no one around, he walked up to Liu Cui. Liu Cui was relieved about the firewood. She asked softly: "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing... nothing, Liu Cui, I..."
"Stop talking. I'm going to go back and cook. Tonight... at ten o'clock, I'll wait for you at the three trees in front of Old Sun's cornfield."
Chen Chu was stunned and his heart started beating fast.
"Liu Cui..."
Liu Cui stopped talking, picked up an armful of corn stalks, and headed back to cook. Chen Chu entered the house, where his father, Chen Dejiang, was drinking. There wasn't much to eat, just stewed potatoes and tofu, with scallions dipped in soybean paste.
"Boy, are you back?" Chen Dejiang asked.
"Ah! Dad, I'm back."
"Why are you so listless? How's the surgery going? If it doesn't work out, we'll have to do it over. It's not our family's money anyway. If Yan San doesn't pay, I'll go to the police station and sue him."
"It's okay, I'm fine." Chen Chu also sat on the kang and ate two bowls of rice.
Normally, he could eat four bowls of rice. … People in the countryside go to bed very early. They usually go to bed around eight o'clock in the evening. Because it's the busy farming season now, the fields need manpower to tend, so they often get up at three or four o'clock in the morning. Chen Chu couldn't sleep. He thought about Ji Xiaotao, then about what Old Man Zhang said. He also wondered if that old scar would really seek revenge on him. To be honest, he was quite scared. The heroes in TV dramas are actually fake, but life is not a TV drama. Chen Chu thought for a long time and walked into the yard. He saw that most houses had turned off the lights. There were only a few who watched TV, and those who watched it very late were the homes of newly married young wives. At this time, the sound of quarreling came from the neighbor's house. It was Sun Wu and Liu Cui arguing again, and Liu Cui seemed to have been beaten. His heart tightened, and he wanted to intervene, but stopped. Why should he go... After a while, he heard Liu Cui crying. In the still night, the cries mixed with the barking of dogs, drifting away in the dark wind... Chen Chu couldn't sleep, and thought of his ten o'clock date with Liu Cui. He couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to rub the wounded spot where Liu Cui had been hit. Chen Chu stood up, then took a few quick steps, nimbly jumped onto the top of his own wall, and flipped over. He then ran towards Old Sun's cornfield. He wanted to wait there for a while. Old Sun's cornfield was quite far away, with three trees in front. It was very quiet at night. Usually, Chen Chu was a little scared at night, but he was not afraid today. After being hacked by Old Scar with a knife during the day, he seemed to have matured a lot. It was as if he had seen through it. Life is a chase and a hack. If you hide, you are destined to be hacked to death. There is no escape. He stood in front of the three trees surrounded by the cornfield and slowly practiced the ancient boxing that Old Man Zhang had taught him. He thought to himself, "Tomorrow, tomorrow there will be a different Chen Chu, not a cowardly Chen Chu. I'm dead, and the real Chen Chu must rise..." He swung his fists and feet, slowly channeling the blockages in his heart into his boxing. His meridians unblocked, his body more agile, his movements becoming more steady. He grew calmer as he fought, the sound of the wind gradually emanating from his fists. He sensed the point of his own power, the point of his own power. He wondered who he would fight first at school tomorrow. Old Man Zhang was right. Kung Fu and fighting are two different things. If I don't fight, I won't be able to practice Kung Fu, and if I don't practice Kung Fu, I won't be able to protect my woman... Chen Chu frowned. He liked Zhu Na, and the one who was constantly pestering her was the retired thug Ma Huaqiang. Okay, tomorrow it's your turn. He thought of Ma Huaqiang, the 1.75-meter-tall, pockmarked-faced man. Chen Chu smiled. It seemed that the boy had kicked him once, and he hadn't dared to fart then. But tomorrow, I'll settle the score with you. Unconsciously, Chen Chu didn't know how long he had been fighting. If Liu Cui hadn't come overnight, he might have fought all night. In short, he was sweating, but the cool night breeze soon dried him. His body felt a little sticky, but it slowly dried again. He also felt that the ancient boxing became lighter and lighter with each fight. ... At this moment, he heard the rustling of footsteps not far away. After a moment, a soft voice lowered its voice and called out, "Chen Chu... Chen Chu..."
"It's Liu Cui." Chen Chu quickly retracted his fist.
Walking towards the direction of the rustling sound, a dark figure slowly approached, and the outline of the figure was Liu Cui.
"Aunt Liu Cui, I'm here..."
Liu Cui stopped, standing there with her head down. Chen Chu came over, hugged her in his arms, and lifted her up by the waist.
"Ah..." Liu Cui moaned.
She didn't expect her body to be held up, and her face felt hot, but it was dark and she couldn't see clearly. Her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
"Chen Chu, please get out of here quickly. Don't let anyone see you...carry your aunt into the cornfield..."
As she spoke, her voice gradually lowered. Chen Chu's penis suddenly hardened, pressing against Liu Cui's lower back. Liu Cui's face turned even redder.
"You bad boy, why does your vagina look bigger? Did you have a circumcision or penis lengthening surgery?"
