A scarred figure known as Stick charged forward, launching a powerful strike at Brother Biao. With quick reflexes, Brother Biao dodged to the side and retaliated with a flying kick to Stick's stomach. Used to bullying others alongside Dog Young Master, Stick had never encountered anyone who dared to fight back. He stumbled back several steps before crashing onto the ground, clutching his belly and sweating profusely from the pain.
Nearby, The Little Black Chubby One blinked his small eyes in surprise and paused, allowing the next "performance" opportunity to go to Black Tower.
Although Brother Biao was sturdy, he was still just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy and no match for a street thug like Black Tower. It wasn't long before he received a solid punch to the face, blood splattering across him, followed by a heavy kick to his chest that sent him tumbling backward.
Jiang Qiuying's face turned pale as she rushed to help Brother Biao. He pushed her away with effort, urging, "Don't worry about me! Run! Quickly!" Then he rolled over and grabbed one of Black Tower's legs, preventing her from going after Jiang Qiuying. Black Tower struggled but couldn't shake him off; she bent down and began to punch Brother Biao's back. The Little Black Chubby One and Stick joined in, raining down punches and kicks on him.
Brother Biao's eyes were so bloodied he could barely open them; his cheeks and mouth were swollen, and he had no idea how many blows he had taken.
Yet he clung tightly to Black Tower's leg, enduring the heavy strikes from several adults.
Dog Young Master grew impatient. He never expected this kid would be so hard to deal with. He shouted at Black Tower, "Let me handle this!" As he spoke, he drew a Triangular Bayonet from his waist.
The Triangular Bayonet is a well-known weapon in modern Chinese military history, renowned for its popularity as a cold weapon. At one point, it even overshadowed other weapons like the 56 assault rifle and the 40 rocket launcher. Even today, it remains a topic of fascination among Chinese military enthusiasts. This bayonet is extremely sharp and easy to carry.
The bayonet features three grooves, and wounds inflicted by it typically have a square shape with large openings. The depth of these wounds is significantly greater than that of regular injuries, making them difficult to treat—especially when it comes to stopping bleeding and applying medicine.
In Dog Young Master's hand, the thirty-centimeter-long bayonet gleamed menacingly as he aimed it at Brother Biao's right shoulder.
Jiang Qiuying was frozen in fear, staring at the blade in Dog Young Master's hand as if her soul had left her body. She wanted to scream but found herself unable to make a sound; she covered her mouth with her hands and stared blankly, her mind racing with panic.
"Ah—"
A piercing scream echoed through the air just as footsteps and voices approached from a distance: "What's happening? It sounds like it's over here..."
Jiang Qiuying snapped back to reality but saw no sign of Brother Biao being stabbed. Instead, she found Dog Young Master lying on the ground, clutching his left eye and howling in agony: "Damn it, fatso! Who hit me? Kill him!"
Next to the fallen Brother Biao stood another figure—Hu Ruoyun.
Hu Ruoyun had been following closely behind Brother Biao but couldn't intervene immediately; he needed to capture everything on camera. Otherwise, if things escalated into chaos, those with ulterior motives might label it as a "brawl," rather than recognizing it as an act of bravery and self-defense by him and Brother Biao. This had already caused Brother Biao considerable suffering.
At that critical moment, Hu Ruoyun not only captured the scene of Dog Young Master raising the bayonet to attack but also delivered a powerful punch to Dog Young Master's left eye just in time, knocking the weapon from his hand.
The Little Black Chubby One charged forward, and Hu Ruoyun delivered a flying kick that landed squarely on his chest, sending him crashing to the ground. With another leap, she followed up with a kick to the small belly of the "Black Tower," and then a powerful punch struck his right cheek. The "Black Tower" was still clutching Brother Biao, unable to evade the blows, and he too fell down.
At that moment, a crowd came rushing in from a distance, and Hu Ruoyun helped the bloodied Brother Biao while calling out to the approaching crowd, "Uncle, Elder Brother, Elder Sister! We are students participating in the Entrance Examination. These people tried to rob us! When we refused to give them our money, they attacked us! That one even tried to stab us with a knife!"
It was then that Jiang Qiuying burst into tears.
At that moment, Jiang Qiuying resembled a drowning child grasping desperately for a lifeline as she was pulled ashore. She felt utterly weak and leaned heavily against Hu Ruoyun, crying heartily and freely.
Among the onlookers, someone shouted, "Everyone together! Let's catch these bad guys!"
Dog Young Master covered his swollen left eye with one hand while pointing at Hu Ruoyun and her companions with the other, cursing loudly, "I’ll remember you! My dad is Zhang Shusen! Just wait until I get back; I’ll make sure you regret this!"
He glared at several bystanders who seemed ready to intervene. "I dare anyone to meddle!" His vicious gaze made the crowd instinctively halt in their tracks.
He didn’t bother picking up the bayonet lying on the ground but shouted at his three companions who were getting up from the ground, "Useless bunch, let’s go!"
In this county town, Dog Young Master had quite a reputation. Mentioning his father's name caused whispers among those who had considered stepping in to help; those who had initially planned to beat down the fallen dogs now retreated, allowing the four scoundrels to limp away unimpeded.
An older man stepped forward and glanced at the retreating figures of the four. He turned to Hu Ruoyun and her friends and said, "Kids, we can’t afford to mess with those people. You should leave quickly."
The crowd murmured in agreement.
Hu Ruoyun understood that getting away unscathed was the best outcome at this point. She urged Jiang Qiuying to calm down: "It's okay now; let’s go."
She then asked Brother Biao, "Can you walk?"
Brother Biao nodded groggily.
Hu Ruoyun instructed him, "Let’s wash our faces in the river over there before we leave!"
The two of them escorted Jiang Qiuying to her aunt's house.
Jiang Qiuying's aunt was named Jiang Ling; she worked as an accountant at the county textile factory. Her husband was an internal medicine doctor at the county hospital, and they lived in the factory's staff quarters. With her niece needing to study for exams these days, she hurried home after work each day to prepare meals for her.
The vegetables sizzled in the pan when suddenly there was a knock at the door. She opened it and was taken aback; her niece stood there with tear-streaked cheeks, followed by two boys around her age.
Startled, she quickly asked her niece what had happened.
Jiang Qiuying briefly explained the situation to her aunt, while Jiang Ling felt a cold sweat break out. If anything happened to her niece under her roof, not only would she be unable to face her brother and sister-in-law, but it would also mean that she might never return to her maternal family again.
Understanding the situation, Jiang Ling pulled Hu Ruoyun and Brother Biao aside, insisting they stay: "You two are Qiuying's classmates, and I’m your aunt too. You’ll have lunch with us today, and after resting a bit, you can all head to the exam venue together!"
This was both to express gratitude and to ensure that her niece had some company for support.
Hu Ruoyun and Brother Biao couldn’t refuse and ended up staying at Jiang Ling's home for lunch. After a brief rest, Jiang Ling arranged for the three of them to head back to the exam site together. She told her niece, "After your afternoon exam, don’t come back alone. You can go back to the guesthouse with your female classmates. I’ll have your uncle come pick you up on his bike after work."
"Why not report this to the police?"
"Do you think those people would be afraid of an ordinary person's report when they dare to act so brazenly?"
However, Hu Ruoyun silently resolved that this matter could not end here. These scoundrels needed to be dealt with; otherwise, they would eventually become a threat and a lingering danger for the four of them.
On their way, Hu Ruoyun comforted the frightened Jiang Qiuying and the beaten Brother Biao: "Don’t think about anything else; just focus on your exams these next few days. And don’t mention this incident to anyone else..." Gradually, Brother Biao and Jiang Qiuying began to recover from the shock. Indeed, if they let their minds wander now, all three years of middle school would be wasted.
Brother Biao still felt upset and muttered under his breath, "Those four bastards were really ruthless!" But despite his anger, there was little he could do. Remembering how Hu Ruoyun had given the leader a black eye brought him some satisfaction amidst his frustration.
