Night was falling, and the sky was tinged with a pale blue. Normally, there would only be the sound of a gentle breeze on such a night, and along this road, only the wind rustling through the tangled, disordered weeds. But now, there were also many faint, mournful groans.
The taxi lights were on, illuminating the faces and bodies of the people lying haphazardly on the ground. Their contorted faces were contorted in pain, and some were clutching their arms, legs, or faces, unable to get up.
Chen Chu glanced at the man with the triangular eyes, then suddenly smiled. He gently touched the wrist guard on his wrist, pondering whether this guy was friend or foe. He had been so focused on dodging the attacks that he hadn't seen how the man with the triangular eyes made his move.
How did these people fall?
As if seeing through Chen Chu's thoughts, the man with the triangular eyes smiled faintly and said, "Young brother, I have no hostility... Hehe, I just feel that it is quite remarkable for a child your age to have such skills. Who taught you these skills? They seem like kung fu but not quite." The man with the triangular eyes smiled as he spoke.
Chen Chu breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Liu Bingbing out of the corner of his eye and saw that she was safe and sound in the car. He then reached for the car door, but it wouldn't open. He kicked it twice before it finally opened, and then reached out to help Liu Bingbing out.
The man with the triangular eyes chuckled, "Wow, brother, your sister is so tall."
"She's my wife," Chen Chu said softly.
At this moment, Liu Bingbing was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she leaned her head against Chen Chu.
Chen Chu patted her shoulder and whispered comfortingly, "It's okay, it's all over now."
The man with the triangular eyes coughed for a while after choking on his cigarette, then finished it and said with a strange expression, "Brother, not bad, your wife is taller than you? You're quite capable, young man, hehe, your wife is really beautiful."
At this moment, Chen Chu pulled Liu Bingbing into his arms as if guarding against a thief. She was his precious little darling, and no one was allowed to touch her.
The man laughed again: "Brother, what's your surname? Oh, my surname is Long..."
The man stretched out his hand and took a few steps forward. Chen Chu looked at his hand. Generally, when experts shake hands, they also test their strength. When they shake hands, the stronger one can break the other's hand bones with a single inch of force.
Chen Chu smiled faintly: "Chen Chu..."
He then reached out his hand, taking a deep breath.
The two exchanged a smile; the man was only slightly taller than Chen Chu.
"My name is Long Qi..."
The man smirked as he said the name, expecting that the other party would be surprised by the name Long Qi. However, Chen Chu ignored him and went on to comfort Liu Bingbing.
It's like hearing him call himself Long Qi is no different from hearing him call himself a bastard.
The boy with the triangular eyes chuckled and said, "Little friend, let's go together. It's quite a coincidence."
At this moment, Liu Bingbing tugged at Chen Chu's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Chen Chu, let's not go with him. He doesn't seem like a good person..."
Before Chen Chu could speak, Long Qi couldn't help but laugh. At that moment, a taxi driver tried to get up. As soon as he got up and took a few steps away, Long Qi took a step forward and then leaped two meters high. His jumping power was enough to dunk a basketball. Then, he slammed his knee down hard.
With a cracking sound, the knee struck the man's back.
When Long Qi landed, the man was knocked forward seven or eight steps, spitting out blood, and then collapsed unconscious.
"Damn it, there are still some who slipped through the net!" Long Qi's lips twitched, and he gave a cold laugh.
Chen Chu's heart skipped a beat: "This is... Muay Thai..." Although Muay Thai has a history of several hundred years, it has an undefeated history.
Muay Thai primarily uses the knees and elbows for attacks, and the knees and elbows are the hardest parts of the human body. If an elbow strikes squarely, it is equivalent to the power of three punches, while a knee strike is even more powerful.
If that knee had hit me, the force would have broken my bones and tendons.
Chen Chu couldn't help but think that this person had defeated five people so easily, and he hadn't even seen how he made his move. It was clear that this person's skill had reached a certain level.
Chinese martial arts have a problem: too many fancy moves. There was a martial arts master in Tianjing who fought with a thug. He was kicked in the groin and was in excruciating pain. Later, he told the outside world that the thug didn't follow the rules.
This is the drawback of martial arts: it is too rigid in its rules, and sometimes it is not as effective as street fighting.
At this moment, the man pulled out a fat man's car keys, then opened a taxi, grabbed his suitcase, and climbed in. He then poked his head out and said, "Brother, want a ride?"
Liu Bingbing pinched Chen Chu's arm and said, "Don't...don't get in the car, don't get involved with someone like him..."
Chen Chu patted Liu Bingbing's little hand and said, "My darling Bingbing, it's okay, I'm here. What are you afraid of? Don't worry, my darling Bingbing..."
Liu Bingbing blushed, while Chen Chu had originally wanted to pat her face, but was afraid he couldn't reach her, so he shook his head and thought to himself that he needed to grow taller. If all else failed, he would wait for Old Man Zhang to come home one day and ask him how to grow taller quickly.
Otherwise, when he's in bed with Bingbing, he's full of energy and quite capable, whether it's turning the tables or not. But once they're dressed and standing together, he feels incredibly capable without anyone saying anything.
Having such a tall girl as my wife proves how awesome I am!
There's another type of person who feels inferior because their wife is taller than them.
Chen Chu was happy when he was playing with Liu Bingbing, but felt inferior when walking on the street...
He squeezed Liu Bingbing's small hand, coaxing her into the taxi as if she were a child.
When a woman is pregnant, she can be irritable and capricious, so you have to treat her like a little girl and coax her. When a woman is in love, that's when she truly likes the man, and her IQ drops to almost zero.
At this moment, Liu Bingbing's IQ seemed to drop significantly in front of Chen Chu. The two got into the car, Chen Chu closed the door, and Long Qi glanced at Chen Chu in the rearview mirror and smiled: "Brother, you're too good to your wife...hehe..."
Long Qi couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this kid was interesting. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old brat was hugging a beautiful woman in her twenties, and this woman was dependent on this brat. It was as if their ages were reversed.
Long Qi started the taxi, while Liu Bingbing leaned her head on Chen Chu's shoulder, then secretly pointed her little finger at Long Qi in front of her, like a little girl guarding against a scary old man.
Chen Chu simply held Liu Bingbing's small, tender hand with his left hand and touched his own wrist guard with his right hand. If there was any change, he would pull out a silver needle and fly it towards Long Qi.
The car got on the road and then drove smoothly toward Hancheng, which was already brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Hancheng is considered a medium-sized city. In terms of size, it can't compare to cities like Kunming, Shenyang, Dalian, or Beijing. However, compared to some less developed cities, it's not bad and can be considered a prefecture-level city.
Long Qi parked the car on a street and then said to Chen Chu, "This car isn't ours, so we can only drive this far. By the way, Brother Chen Chu, it's fate that we met. Would you like to have a meal together..."
Before Chen Chu could speak, Liu Bingbing pouted and said from behind, "No!"
Long Qi laughed heartily: "Brother Chen Chu, I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that I saw how skilled you are, and I'm also a martial artist. It would be a pity if martial artists didn't have a drink together when they met... Hmm, perhaps we could exchange martial arts techniques, learn from each other's strengths, and make up for our weaknesses, that wouldn't be bad..."
"Hmm..." Chen Chu lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds. Remembering his Muay Thai, he thought it wouldn't hurt to exchange techniques. His Muay Thai seemed even more powerful than his own. His own style required ten or even decades of foundational training to unleash its full potential, while Muay Thai could be mastered quickly. Chen Chu nodded and said, "Okay..."
Liu Bingbing was displeased and pinched Chen Chu's lower back hard, saying, "You're so mean! You don't care about me at all... I'm pregnant... hmph..."
With outsiders present, Liu Bingbing couldn't say anything.
The three got out of the car. Then, Long Qi looked around and quickly pointed to a place about 100 meters ahead, saying, "Brother Chu, there's a food stall up ahead. How about we have some food there?"
"Hmm..." Chen Chu didn't know what a street food stall was, but Liu Bingbing's eyes lit up, and she said to Chen Chu, "Street food stalls are delicious..."
Chen Chu fainted.
Long Qi laughed heartily and strode forward, carrying the box in his hand.
...
The best food in summer is probably beer and barbecue. When it's hot, eating some barbecue and drinking some beer is refreshing.
Chinese people are very good at researching food. For example, roasted mutton is one thing, but eventually they can roast all kinds of things, such as chili peppers, garlic, eggplants, and chives. Even though it is autumn, there are still many enthusiastic diners in the food stalls.
Everyone sat in small groups, eating and chatting about all sorts of things.
Before long, the three of them entered a food stall, which was packed with people, especially for this kind of food. It was a great place for a few friends to come over, have some skewers and drinks. The three of them walked through the tables and chairs and found a seat at the back.
Long Qi sat down first, and Chen Chu and Liu Bingbing sat down opposite him.
On the table was a pile of used bamboo skewers and other odds and ends, and the place was still messy.
At this moment, the plump proprietress came over, shoved everything off the table, and casually slammed a large black rag onto the table. The rag stood up as if it had been turned to stone.
Liu Bingbing looked at Yi Jin's nose.
Chen Chu didn't care.
The overweight proprietress glared at him in a gruff voice and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Long Qi waved and asked for alcohol, then for barbecue. Liu Bingbing pointed to lamb skewers, and Chen Chu couldn't help but shake his head, wondering when this girl had become so greedy? Or was it that he hadn't noticed before, or during the period of their contact?
The three of them ordered a table full of barbecue, including some unusual scallops. Chen Chu had never eaten scallops before. He took a bite of a lamb skewer, and then, because of the spiciness, he quickly drank beer.
Liu Bingbing wanted to eat too, but Chen Chu patted her hand and said, "You can't eat spicy food now, and you definitely can't drink alcohol..."
Liu Bingbing sat pitifully to one side.
Long Qi chuckled: "Why don't you let your sister-in-law eat barbecue? Girls love this stuff, it satisfies their cravings. A little alcohol is fine too, it even makes girls more attractive. You're worried she'll get pimples after drinking and eating spicy food, right? Oh, that's a small matter. The most important thing is that the couple is loving and affectionate. What's a few pimples? Besides, your sister-in-law is so pretty, a few pimples are just beauty marks..."
Long Qi picked up his beer glass as he spoke.
Chen Chu chuckled and said, "She can't, she's pregnant, she can't eat spicy food, and she definitely can't drink alcohol..."
"Pfft!" Long Qi choked half to death, glancing at Liu Bingbing, who was twenty-two or twenty-three, and Chen Chu, who was sixteen or seventeen. The two were already deeply in love, and now she was pregnant...
"Cough cough...cough cough..." Long Qi choked on the chili peppers and coughed repeatedly. He thought to himself, "This guy is really damn good. No, this kid is just too good!"
He got that girl pregnant, and... the two of them are clearly mismatched. This woman is like a fairy, and this guy is just a little kid. How did these two get together?
Are all beautiful women these days pedophiles?
