Chapter 2: The Colosseum
There was a lot of cheering around, and everyone here was crazy, whether it was crushing or gambling.
They didn't care who was dying in the ring, they didn't care about his glory, or all the money he was pressing on.
"The next one is Jobs, the winner of the last game, against the novice Jian Nian." As the referee's words fell.
The cheers around him swelled again. With everyone's eyes on me, I slowly walked onto the stage.
"What, woman?" A gambler said.
"It's so delicate, I can't hold on for a minute this time." Another quick answer.
"This game is a big deal, Mr. Jobs."
Everyone around seemed to decide that the muscular man would win, and it seemed to me as well.
But I'm not going to throw in the towel, because I still have a lot of questions waiting for me to find answers.
“come!” I say.
“ok? are you ready? The other party didn't care about the ridicule,
I stopped talking nonsense, I rushed up and hit the other person directly in the chest.
But the other party's perennial training, his muscles are very developed, and my small fist attack is like a drop in the bucket to him.
He threw me down with a roundabout kick.
I stood up.
Another roundhouse kick and I fell again. The other man's fist hammered me in the cheek. Blood spilled from my mouth. The taste of blood in the mouth fills the taste buds.
I fell to the ground again and again, and gradually I couldn't get up.
"Can't admit defeat, absolutely" The cry in my heart made me stand up and stand up.
“come。”
Jobs didn't seem to expect me to get up. It was also a little surprised, and then turned calm.
For him, on the battlefield, as long as the other party does not admit defeat. That's not a win.
In the end, time gradually passed, and I gradually found his weakness, his feet, and his unstable center of gravity in the midst of repeated failures. So he's basically using his hands.
Just as he was punching me with his fist, I was aiming for the moment, and it was now.
"Boom" went straight to his feet, and with what little strength I had left, I hit his feet again and again.
In the end, he couldn't stand up and lay on the ground for too long. I won the game.
Everyone was shocked. Because no one pressed me to win that game. So all the money that Jobs would win was given to the venue and rushed to the public.
I was carried down, that is, at the moment when I was declared winning. I fell in the ring.
In the coma, I felt like I was back to the happy time, and my mom and dad were still there. I was still in school.
But when I opened my eyes, the dark ceiling was surrounded by the strong smell of disinfectant water.
"Are you awake?" As I was thinking, a nice voice interrupted my recollection.
I looked up.
A person sits at the table, his eyebrows clear, gentle as the sea, gentle to the point of being out of place with his surroundings. In such a place full of people's hopes, how can there be such people.
I frowned and looked at him, "You? ”
"Corner Tower Courtyard, this is the place where all the injured will come for treatment, and after the treatment, you will fight again." He said nonchalantly. The ice stunned in his tone was not equal to his gentle temperament at all.
But this makes people feel extremely integrated, as if this is really his character.
"Hmm" I finished looking at me and began to look at the ceiling.
The air gradually fell silent, as if I didn't think that a weak girl like me would survive, perhaps wondering what I had done to win him.
He spoke again, "You don't look like an outlaw, why are you here?" After speaking, he inadvertently looked away.
"Outlaws?" I muttered these words over and over again.
For a long time, I said, "I am or I am not." ”
He looked at me slowly, then said nothing, and finally when I was about to give up waiting for his words, "Xu Yuguang." Name"
I paused, "Give you sunshine?" You are not like your name, you look like the sun, and your tone is indeed to see through the desolation of life and death. ”。
"My name is Jian Nian." After saying that, he didn't answer, but he didn't see the surprise in his eyes.
