Extra: My name is Chu Zihan
When Lu Mingfei came out of Dingming Internet Cafe, his steps were as fast as if he was worth 2.58 million yuan. He was shaking a bottle of Nutri-Express in his hand. The coins in his pocket jingled when he tapped them, and there were a lot of banknotes in his pocket. At this moment, spring was in full bloom. The 15-year-old boy had a huge sum of 390 yuan and felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
Today is the StarCraft Challenge held at Dingming Internet Cafe. Anyone who likes this game can participate. Each game requires a registration fee of three yuan, and the winner can take it all. The later the battle goes, the easier it will be to eat up the big fish that come before you in one go.
However, this requires strength. People without strength are often the coveted big fish themselves. Fortunately, Lu Mingfei is strong enough. He became the overlord fish with the biggest appetite today, swallowing up all the contestants' registration fees in one breath. As a reward for first place, the boss also added an extra 500 yuan in Internet fees to his card and invited him to come again next time.
Ming Fei knew the boss's careful thinking. For an Internet cafe, the most important thing is to have a lot of people. When there are a lot of people, you can hold any kind of competition you want, dota, lol, Warcraft, StarCraft, you can do it in different ways, there will always be people to support it. Every competition can attract a group of people to watch, making the Internet cafe crowded. Those spectators naturally can't help but want to have fun. Often after the game, it's a carnival era to book a room all night. The money from the snacks sold in one night is higher than the hundreds of yuan prize money from the competition.
Lu Mingfei calculated in his mind how long he could squander the 500 yuan internet fee and the 90 yuan as he hurried home. It was already late at night, and this second-tier city by the river was still bustling with lights and women. If he went back at this time, he would definitely be nagged by his aunt.
But it doesn't matter. Lu Mingfei can bring up Chen Wenwen's name and say that he came home late because he was kept behind by the literature club to do reading homework. When the aunt heard it was Chen Wenwen, she had no choice, because Lu Mingze mentioned that girl's name every other day. She was a big figure in Shilan Middle School. It was a blessing for Lu Mingfei to be able to hang out with such a big shot.
When passing by a small alley, he stopped, not because the barbecue stalls that were set up for the night market not far away were too tempting, but because there were several figures flashing in the alley. Four young men who looked like gangsters were surrounding a girl in school uniform, squeezing her into the alley with their bodies, and from time to time they would touch her hair with a lewd smile.
Lu Mingfei's mind suddenly buzzed, and he recognized that the girl was also wearing the school uniform of Shilan Middle School.
"Stop!" He rushed into the alley without even thinking, shouting these words into the alley to express his support for injustice.
He actually felt a little regretful the moment he shouted, because the first guy who turned around saw something flashing in his palm, and in the dim light coming in from outside, he could vaguely see that it was a machete.
The gangsters all turned their heads to look at the uninvited guest who disturbed their fun, and they could see that he was alone. Anyone who rushed here in the dark to save the beauty must be either an idiot or a hero. The brothers exchanged glances. The two at the back were responsible for controlling the girl. The one with a knife and another brother exuded a domineering aura. They twisted their necks with crackling sounds, and rushed over to grab Lu Mingfei and clamped him from the front and back.
"Brother, is this interesting?" The one with the knife was obviously the boss. He was nearly 1.80 meters tall. He slapped Lu Mingfei's face hard with the knife. His mouth was full of cigarette smell mixed with bad breath, which had a unique smell that made people feel heavenly.
Lu Mingfei saw the girl who was surrounded over there through him. The girl was neither crying nor shouting. Considering that she was a student of Shilan Middle School, she was most likely the apple of some wealthy family's eye. She had never seen such a scene and was so scared that she couldn't utter a word.
Lu Mingfei had never seen such a scene before. He had never fought in his life. He just roared when he saw injustice, without thinking whether he could save Mei. To put it bluntly, it was called overestimating one's own ability. To put it nicely, it was called knowing there was a tiger in the mountain but still going there. But he was not Wu Song. When he went up Jingyang Ridge, he could only be used as food for the tiger. When Wu Song killed the tiger and erected a monument, he probably would not remember that he was the pioneer who had been used as the tiger's feces.
"Do you have something to do with my girlfriend?" Lu Mingfei raised his eyes and looked at the leader with disdain. Having watched many movies, he also knew that when faced with such a height difference, he must not look up at people, otherwise he would only be smaller and easier to bully in the eyes of the leader. But if there was only a look, that would be the demeanor of a big boss, and his expression would give a feeling of being calm as if you were already dead.
This move really worked. The leader was stunned for a moment, thinking that this guy couldn't see the knife in his hand. Was he a fool looking for death, or did he really have some skills? How dare he come in in the dark and fight four people alone?
But in a flash he returned to his old behavior. The profession of a gangster can be basically summarized in four words: bully the weak and fear the strong. Their biggest advantage is that they can run fast. They will run away when they steal things, run away when they are chased, or run away from the police. Therefore, most of them have good physical fitness.
The leader has already made up his mind, just start fighting, to see what this kid is capable of. If he is really awesome, he will use the strongest move of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the Golden Cicada Escape. If he is just pretending, he will not be named Sun if he doesn't beat him to death today.
"Girlfriend, you are so lucky. You are not even as tall as a girl, but you can still pick her up?" The leader pushed Lu Mingfei on the shoulder. With this push, the coins in his pocket rustled. The leader's eyes lit up, "Oh, you are worthy of being from Shilan Middle School, and you are a rich boy. The sound of money is everywhere when you walk!"
The leader winked at the brothers around him, who nodded and understood immediately, and reached into Lu Mingfei's pocket. Lu Mingfei's reaction was faster than his, he took a step back and reached into his pocket, grabbing all the money without thinking, and threw it into the face of the gangster, banknotes flying all over the sky, and coins clanging on the ground.
"Brothers, it's hard for you to come out and do things in the dead of night. Why don't you use this money to have some fun, have a barbecue, smoke a cigarette, and take a bath? Isn't it more interesting than bullying a girl?" Lu Mingfei tried his best to smile as rogue as possible to show that he was also in the same business.
It was absolutely impossible to deal with four thugs with just 390 yuan. At least one more zero would have to be added. However, the lighting here was dim. Both Lu Mingfei and the thugs could only see banknotes and coins all over the floor. They had no idea how much money there was. In the eyes of the thugs, the young masters of Shilan Middle School might be throwing hundred-yuan bills.
"You want to settle it with money?" The leader took a step forward and stepped on the coin under his feet. "I am not well-educated, but I know that the poor should not eat food given out of pity. I bowed my head and picked up the money in front of you? Are you fucking worthy?"
This sentence immediately woke up the guy who was busy picking up the money next to him. Yes, there are four of us here, and we are all fierce warriors. If we kneel down and pick up money in front of a young man from Shilan Middle School, wouldn’t we be beggars? In any case, in this area, the brothers are all well-known figures. When the girls from the middle school next door see them, they have to call them Brother Sun!
The leader threw an uppercut from below, hitting Lu Mingfei in the abdomen. Although he did have a knife, it was only a tool to calm the situation unless it was necessary. Brother Sun had been to the labor camp for a few days and knew that there was a difference in the legal conviction of using or not using a knife. If he didn't use it, it would be considered as gang fighting at most, but if he used it, it would be considered as wounding with a weapon. If he killed someone, it would be a bigger problem. The two sides were not the same concept. The knife was like his ultimate move, which he would only use to save the situation when necessary.
The gangsters were all veterans and had cooperated many times. As soon as the leader threw a punch, Lu Mingfei stumbled back, and the younger brother who was picking up money came over to cooperate. He grabbed Lu Mingfei by the arm, tied his hands behind his back, pushed his knees against his legs, and pushed him in front of him. The younger brother himself was like the cross that bound Jesus. This man was a head taller than Lu Mingfei, and his arms were full of muscles. Lu Mingfei struggled desperately but couldn't move at all. He was a complete sitting duck.
The leader laughed and used Lu Mingfei as a sandbag, hitting him in the chest, abdomen, and face. He didn't forget to kick him halfway. He felt that this was not enough, so he retreated a distance in the alley and said, "Okay!" The younger brother tried his best to push Lu Mingfei forward, deliberately exposing his abdomen in the front. The leader accelerated his run-up and leaped into the air, holding Ah Da in his mouth and kicking like Bruce Lee. The fierce flying kick made Lu Mingfei spit blood from his mouth. Together with the younger brother behind him, they retreated several steps and hit the wall before they did not fall to the ground.
"Girlfriend? Spending money? Being a hero to save the beauty? Don't you look at what you look like? How can she be your girlfriend? You are a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, but you are still flattering yourself. After you spend the money, people won't bother to pay attention to you. You are just a dog, do you understand?" The leading brother laughed and slapped Lu Mingfei in the face after every sentence.
Lu Mingfei felt dizzy and felt as if all his internal organs had changed positions. He knew that he had no ability and lived with his uncle and aunt. His uncle and aunt used his family's money without telling him the amount, and he did not dare to ask because he was afraid that if he made them angry, they would kick him out and he would have no place to stay.
Why is this person yelling "Stop it!" Why is he trying to flatter himself? He's still imitating other rich guys throwing money around. 390 yuan is a huge sum of money for him. The moment he took it out of his pocket, his heart was about to bleed, but he still threw it around in a pretentious manner. What's the result? It's useless! Movies are all fucking lies!
It hurt so much, he was so hungry and so tired. If only he hadn't come out to participate in that competition today, he had no intention of thinking about the beating he was getting.
Suddenly there was a gust of wind behind him. The leader was busy trying to harm Lu Mingfei, but years of street fighting told him that someone was coming to attack him. Without even a second thought, he turned around to see who that person was. He saw his younger brother flying backwards and hitting him on the forehead. He was caught off guard and his head was covered with stars.
"Who the hell is here to cause trouble again!" The eldest brother's forehead was hit and bleeding. He touched it and it was warm. He was immediately aroused and had the knife in his hand.
No one answered him because the other two brothers had fallen, one was the one who had just flown over and hit him, and the other was lying on the ground. The girl in the Shilan Middle School uniform was stepping on the brother's face with her heels and twisting it wildly, like some kind of dance move, but when used in a fight there was no beauty at all and it was all blood. The two-inch high thick-heeled shoes could be used as bricks when used violently.
The leader was stunned. He didn't expect that the one who knocked down his brothers and attacked them was actually the cute girl that the brothers had their eyes on!
“Have you got some skills?” The leader played with the machete in his hand. The remaining brother threw Lu Mingfei aside, and the two of them worked together to block the path which had only one way exit.
The girl probably thought she could just turn around and run away, right? She was totally wrong! The guys were so familiar with this area that they knew where to throw the beaten person away without being discovered, and where to put him so that he would be found by street sweepers in the early morning and not die. They knew it better than anyone else. They committed a lot of crimes, but they always did it just right, so the police couldn't do anything about them. It was not easy to convict them according to the law, and they would be released in a few days at most.
The girl opposite didn't say anything. She squatted down and picked up the wooden stick that the gangster dropped on the ground. Because her hair was very long, black and straight, and she only wore a white headband, she had to use her left hand to hold her hair for such a simple action, otherwise it might touch the dirt on the ground.
"I didn't intend to take action, but those two people wanted to undress me, so don't blame me." There was a hint of helplessness in her words, as if she was surrounded by a few thugs and didn't want to hurt anyone, but these thugs forced her to the point where she had to take action. When she said this, a red word "danger" lit up on the thugs' heads.
Lu Mingfei leaned against the wall in a daze, looking at the girl who looked like a classmate holding a wooden stick like a hero and speaking arrogant lines.
He thought to himself, girl, stop it, you know you will be struck by lightning if you show off, just look at me and you will know, since no one is watching you, why don't you just run away? What, just because you're only 1.7 meters tall, you think you can challenge the world champion in weightlifting?
Then he saw the most unbelievable scene in his life. The girl with long black hair did not run away at all, because people walk when they fight. But the two thugs rushed up loudly, waving knives in their hands, and looked very vicious.
Every time the long, straight black wooden stick hit a person, it was accurate. The thugs couldn't get close to her at all. If they swung their fists, they would be hit on the arms, and if they raised their legs, they would be hit on the knees. Every time the wooden stick hit a person, the whole alley was filled with the sound of bangs. You can imagine how strong her strength was. Lu Mingfei felt as if all his bones were broken by those bangs just by listening to them.
This was indeed the case. The entire fight actually lasted only a few seconds, because after being hit by the wooden stick several times, the gangsters could not lift their hands or walk. They fell to the ground and twitched like cerebral palsy patients. They couldn't even hold the place where they were hit and scream. Before the black man walked away, he broke the wooden stick in half and stabbed it into their mouths.
