Chapter 6: Night

No one knows what their future years will be like, whether the years are as quiet as ever or the vicissitudes of life, they are all waiting to be interpreted. In a person's life, many things and people will encounter will be erased in memory as if they have been taken away by time many years later, and they can never be recovered. Zou Erwa's life road is also like the night road that must be walked tonight, after all, she has to walk alone and experience the ups and downs of life by herself.

I have always told myself that I have received a materialist education since I was a child, and I am convinced that there is no such thing as a so-called ghost in this world; when I was in my hometown, I followed my father to carry the net he had woven in the middle of the night, went to the grave mountain to catch rabbits, and guarded the crops on the slope of the fire full of ghost stories. At that time, I was not afraid at all, but this was a big city, the lights were dim, and there were many people, so what were you afraid of! The scalp was cold and numb in the cool breeze of the night, and the hair stood on the head like an electric shock, at this time Zou Erwa was like a blind man without a guide dog, and like a lonely flat boat drifting with the waves in the vast sea, going and staying, floating to where it was completely fateful, walking on the wide asphalt road was like stepping on a tightrope step by step.

Human beings' fear of nature will pin their inner fears on religion and give themselves psychological comfort. With her eyes in her pocket, she couldn't see what she saw or couldn't see, she was ruthless and courageous, and Zou Erwa measured in the direction of the school step by step.

The night of early autumn is so beautiful, a half moon hangs lazily on the branches, a trace of cool and elegant cold wind gently wraps around the faint moonlight leaning on the earth, occasionally a car driving at high speed will be scattered on the side of the road yellow leaves, flying up from the ground, bringing up a confused leaf flying all over the sky, and then the leaves are slowly sprinkled on the ground, the light moonlight is wrapped in a thin layer of dust and seems to be shy.

The road at night, the longer you walk, the more lonely it becomes, sometimes Zou Erwa sings a song to strengthen her courage, and after roaring, she startles the birds that sleep on the branches at night, but it attracts a burst of strange cries of birds, and almost scares herself half to death. Both sides of the road belong to the experimental base of the Citrus Research Institute, and the fields on both sides of the road are all planted with low, Hessian citrus groves. When I first entered the school, the old students told the new students that there were often a group of thugs hiding in the woods waiting for an opportunity to extort and rob.

Zou Erwa, who was in a hurry, wanted to meet a passer-by, even if it was far away, or a few more cars passing by, although it would bring a few seconds of light, it would also give lonely people as if they were surrounded by warm sunshine in spring. Even a passing car ran to the end of the road in a blink of an eye. If you are in your hometown, you will definitely sit on the side of the road for a while on such a night and read the most beautiful night view that nature brings to the world. At this moment, I just want to rush back to school early.

At the corner of the road, three or four cigarette butts flashed from time to time, which looked clear and eye-catching in the dark night, and Zou Erwa, who claimed to be not afraid of heaven and earth, began to have a little weakness in her legs, and she didn't want to move forward because she didn't listen to her brain. I found a dry tree trunk in the weeds on the side of the road, pinched it with my hand, it was quite hard, and quietly inserted it into the belt on my back, and tightened the belt buckle, which felt quite firm. It's better to have a stick around than nothing, just in case. Maybe it was the darkness of the night, or the loneliness of a foreign land that made him feel afraid, and holding a dead branch was also a lifesaver. He pressed his fast-beating chest and comforted himself: It's okay, it is estimated that it is a few passers-by who have finished their farm work, gathering together to wait for someone, maybe it is the staff of the citrus research institute who is keeping vigil, maybe it is the workers who are off the night shift in a nearby factory. Yes, it must be the staff of the night watch, it is the season of citrus ripening, and even so, I finally saw the breath of life and walked boldly.

"Damn, Ge Laozi is still wandering on the road so late, you will disturb our rest like this!" Under the faint moonlight, a tall man stroked the long hair on both sides of his head, and approached Zou Erwa while roaring. Zou Erwa saw that the situation was wrong, and then ran back and forth, these people must be bad people, there is hope for running, and only by running can they escape this catastrophe, they only ran about a hundred meters by spreading their legs, Zou Erwa slowly retreated back, not that they couldn't run, but that the back road was copied, and it turned out that there was already a pocket waiting for them to get in.

The tall man waved his two hands separately, and a few gangsters with wooden sticks immediately surrounded Zou Erwa tightly in a circle, and the encirclement contracted smaller and smaller, at this time, even if he wanted to find a gap to escape, there was no gap to drill, and he was more afraid of angering a few people, doing something out of the ordinary, and causing more damage to himself, Zou Erwa thought of only one word~~ Drag ......

"Hey~hey~, big brothers, I'm just passing by, if you bother you, please do a lot of Haihan!" Zou Erwa made a few circles to the people around her, and said in a row: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry to disturb you, big brother!" His hands couldn't help but tremble violently, his knees suddenly went sore, and his speech became incoherent.

A short and fat man among the people surrounding Zou Erwa carefully analyzed every word of Zou Erwa, and came to a conclusion: "Big brother! Listen to his accent, this cub is a foreigner, we can't bully outsiders, otherwise we will say that we are not tolerant and very xenophobic." ”

"Cub, your TM is very bold, you dare to walk on the road at such a late hour, you obviously look down on us, you should know that it is very dangerous to walk at night in this place at night, very dragged, isn't it, dog, come here." The tall man with long hair scolded Zou Erwa, who was surrounded by people: "For the sake of you being a foreigner, it won't be difficult for us to serve you today, let you go!"

"Thank you, big brothers, there are a lot of you, all of you are heroes who stand up to the sky and the earth, and make promises; after I finish my studies, I will definitely remember your great kindness, and you will not take a penny from me for medical treatment in the future! Thank you so much for letting your little brother go tonight!" Zou Erwa hurriedly thanked and made a promise, it is true that Zou Erwa also has a bodhisattva heart, at least before this night.

"Thank you, thank you, don't we beat you? This is definitely a thanks, but think about it, if you come here alone, you have to pay some tolls! Look, there are tolls on the highways, and there are also tolls on ordinary village and town roads, and you are a student in the former medical school, right? You have to pay a consultation fee to see a doctor, right?"

"Yes! Yes! Our boss is so clever. Everyone echoed the tall man's parting heads, as if it were a matter of course.

"You are a foreigner who comes here to study, and I don't know how many times you have to walk back and forth from this road, and even if you don't pass by, the car that transports books to the school has to go! The car that transports daily necessities has to go!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"So, you have to pay the toll, this road was built by our locals. ”

TMD going around in a circle is nothing more than extortion, if you have to say a lot of nonsense, it is estimated that the tall man is also a hooligan among cultural people.

"What do you want to do?"

The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and breathing between each other is clearly audible.

"Money~~ Take it out!"

"I don't have any money on me, if I really have money I will definitely take a taxi so late, who still walks, you say yes or no. Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, pretending to be looking for a tissue to wipe the sweat in his trouser pocket, he took the opportunity to touch the last forty yuan in his trouser pocket, and felt that it was still there, and timidly replied to the tall man.

"No money, you told me you don't have fucking money, would I believe it?"

"Hahahahahaha~~~~ Do you believe what he says?"

"Don't believe" "Don't believe"

"It's right if you don't believe it, no one with intelligence will believe it, and if you see that everyone doesn't believe it, it means that you are lying. The tall man moved his mouth to Humpty Dumpty, silently signaling something: "Brothers, he treats us for fools, what do you say!"

"Beat people!" Humpty Dumpty suddenly raised the wooden stick in his hand and swung it downward, and with a crisp "bump", it hit the kneecap of Zou Erwa's calf. Zou Erwa was ready to be beaten at that time, and she bit it to the death, not to expose the pain of her body, her bottom line was to die without paying, and it would be a dead end to face herself if she paid the money, but what she didn't expect was that her leg was injured first.

"What about the living expenses, you pretend to me, leave when the money is handed over, and continue to fight if you don't pay, buddies have been locked up in it for more than half a year, and they haven't beaten people for a long time since they were released, and I don't know if the way to beat people is unfamiliar, so I have to practice with you. ”

"Hurry up, pay the money, my brothers have no money for smoking, and they don't have money for eating. Humpty Dumpty arrogantly picked up a wooden stick and beat it over.

The two thugs next to him were also holding wooden sticks and preparing to do it.

"If you hand it over, you won't fight anymore, we're all good people. ”

"Not really"

"It's really not, isn't it? I don't want to give up if I don't see the Yellow River, isn't it, I didn't want to beat people tonight. ”

"Bang~~, pop~pop. ”

Zou Erwa thought in her heart, she couldn't sit still, it was time to fight back, picked up the wooden stick and jumped.

A dead branch flew out of the inner circle, and a gorgeous arc appeared on the heads of several gangsters outside the encirclement, accompanied by the sound of "bang, bang, bang," the sound of the wooden stick striking, and then with the sound of "ouch, ouch" sounded, and there were two people lying on the ground with extremely painful expressions and hands covering their heads. The two thugs were hit on the head by Zou Erwa's wooden sticks, and they flashed out of the encirclement with their heads and lay on the ground.

"Boss, pay attention, this cub has a weapon in his hand. ”

A stick waved at Zou Erwa's head, he just gently turned his head sideways to avoid this stick, and another wooden stick stabbed him in the chest, if he hit this, he would not die and leave sequelae, at this critical moment, Zou Erwa would definitely not have time to return if he used a wooden stick to resist, so he had no choice but to lift his left arm, and he suffered this stab, the pain was transmitted from the injured arm to the brain after thirty seconds, the kind of pain that pulled the heart again and again, like a shadow, has been with Zou Erwa for a lifetime, the flesh outside the arm was pierced by the tip of the wooden stick, first revealing the light red tissue, and then the bright red blood gushed out。

I didn't have time to wrap my injured arm, my right hand grabbed the wooden stick tightly, and I didn't want to dance in a disorderly way, no matter how many sticks I received, and I didn't care if I hit someone else. If the wooden stick in his hand was a kitchen knife, it is estimated that several gangsters, including Zou Erwa, would explain here that night, and the minds of both sides were thinking about how to beat people or beat people.

The tall man scolded separately, "A bunch of fools, they can't do anything to one person, what kind of weapon, isn't it just a broken wooden stick? Look at your bear-like, embarrassing things, those two lying on the ground are not dead, if they are not dead, roll up to Lao Tzu, isn't it just a stick! It is normal to come out and beat people and be beaten, at this level, how can you mess with me in the future." ”

"Huh" a squat, the tall man bowed his head separately and bent down into the crowd, taking advantage of Zou Erwa's desperate resistance to the attack of the upper circumference, he hugged his legs suddenly, and pressed hard to press the empty Zou Erwa to the ground.

"Ge Lao Tzu, this is the first time that the brothers in Lao Tzu's team have been beaten, and the idea is pierced, and then the hands are finally pulled to the ground by Lao Tzu, brothers, come over and press him down, those two are not dead, they are not dead and lie on this cub, trap him for Lao Tzu. ”

"Trap him, beat, beat Lao Tzu hard, let's be awesome! Punch the master to death, one person is difficult to defeat four hands, the ancients will not deceive me!"

In this black light blind situation, even if Zou Erwa has excellent martial arts, it is difficult to win, not to mention that he can only be regarded as an ordinary martial arts practitioner, and the most feared thing in the street melee is one person against many people.
