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 with a flying kick, Hu Ruoyun struck him hard in the chest, sending him crashing to the ground. In a swift leap, she followed up with a kick to the small belly of the "Black Tower," then delivered a powerful punch to his right cheek. One of "Black Tower's" legs was still wrapped around Brother Biao, leaving him defenseless. He took two solid hits from Hu Ruoyun and fell down as well.
At that moment, a crowd rushed over from a distance, and Hu Ruoyun helped the bloodied Brother Biao to his feet. She pulled Jiang Qiuying, who was speechless, and shouted 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. She was pulled ashore and leaned weakly against Hu Ruoyun, crying heart-wrenchingly and freely.
Among the onlookers, someone shouted, "Everyone, let's go together and 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 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 and warned them, "I dare anyone to meddle in this!" His vicious gaze made everyone instinctively halt in their tracks.
He didn’t bother picking up the bayonet on the ground but yelled at his three companions who were getting back on their feet, "Useless bunch, let’s go!"
In this county town, Dog Young Master had quite the reputation. Mentioning his father's name caused whispers among those who had been preparing to act heroically. The crowd that had initially intended to beat down the fallen thugs retreated instead, allowing the four miscreants to leave limping without anyone daring to stop them.
An older man stepped forward and glanced at the retreating figures before turning to Hu Ruoyun and her friends. "Kids, these people are not worth provoking. You should leave quickly."
The others nodded 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 still walk?"
Brother Biao nodded groggily.
Hu Ruoyun instructed him, "Let’s wash our faces by 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 while her husband was an internal medicine doctor at the county hospital. They lived in the factory's housing complex. With her niece's exam coming up soon, she hurried home during her lunch break to prepare meals for Jiang Qiuying.
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 of similar age.
Startled, she quickly asked her niece what had happened.
Jiang Qiuying briefly explained the situation to her aunt, while Jiang Ling broke into a cold sweat. If something were to happen to her niece here, not only would she be unable to face her brother and sister-in-law, but she might never be able to return to her maternal family again.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, Jiang Ling grabbed Hu Ruoyun and Brother Biao, insisting they stay: "You two are Qiuying's classmates, and I am your aunt as well. You will have lunch at my house today, and after resting for a bit, you can all head to the exam venue together!"
This was partly to show gratitude and partly because having these two boys around would provide some support for her niece.
Hu Ruoyun and Brother Biao couldn't refuse and ended up staying at Jiang Ling's house for lunch. After a short break, Jiang Ling arranged for the three of them to head back to the exam venue together. She told her niece, "After your afternoon exam, don’t come back alone. You can return with your female classmates. I’ll have your uncle come pick you up on his bicycle 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 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 become a lingering threat for all of them.
On their way, Hu Ruoyun reassured the frightened Jiang Qiuying and the beaten Brother Biao: "Don’t think about anything else. For the next few days, focus entirely on your exams. And don’t mention this incident to anyone else..."
Brother Biao and Jiang Qiuying gradually calmed down from the incident. Yes, 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 nothing he could do. Thinking back on how Hu Ruoyun had given the leader a black eye brought him a moment of satisfaction amidst his frustration.
