Surprise Attack

  That day, we were chatting together when the classroom door suddenly opened and someone shouted "Li Kun! Brother Kun" at the door. I was stunned for a moment and couldn't tell whose voice it was, so we all went over together. When we got to the door, I saw that it was Jia Chengming, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I cursed, "Damn, I thought Li Hongzhi had come! You scared me half to death!" And Mingge, why did you shout so loudly?!

  Then Brother Ming smiled and said "No big deal! I just want to repay you, how about this? I'll treat you guys to lunch!" Then Brother Ming smiled at us again.

  Kui Ge followed closely behind, laughing and saying "Then where are we going to eat? What are we eating?" Ming Ge said helplessly "I don't know either! Let's go to the cafeteria to eat for now. Everyone just make do, after school is out, we'll drink, I'll treat you guys." The brothers all agreed.

  At noon, I had a very full meal and got to know Ming Ge and others. We exchanged some pleasantries and then went our separate ways. In the evening, when we returned to the dormitory, my brothers found that there was no more cigarettes, so Kui Ge and Song Song went downstairs to the school supermarket to buy cigarettes, and we all waited in the dormitory.

  We waited for half a day, but Kui Ge and Song Song didn't come. I said "Let's go down and take a look, don't let anything else happen, there have been too many things in the past few days!" Then we all went down. When we arrived at the dormitory entrance, the old man guarding the door wouldn't let us go down. After our brothers begged him, he finally let us out.

  I arrived at the school supermarket, looked around and then I saw Kui Ge and Song Song. Then I shouted loudly "Here they are!" and ran over. The brothers behind me also followed and ran over.

  I looked at Kui Ge and said "What's wrong, brothers?"

  Kui Ge spat and said, "Damn it! I was shopping with Xiao Bai Song. Just as we were about to leave, someone called us from behind. When we turned around, it was Li Hongzhi's gang. Then, Xiao Song and I ran forward together. He also got beaten up trying to come back and save me." After finishing speaking, Kui Ge wiped his eyes with his hand and stopped talking. Xiao Song scolded on the side, "Xiao Bai Kui, don't cry! If you're a brother, be a man! I'm not blaming you because you're my brother and I have to go back and save you." Then, Xiao Song patted Kui Ge's shoulder. The others also went over to comfort Kui Ge and Xiao Song.

  After that, I picked up a cigarette and said, "Alright, it's not like we've never been beaten before. Don't be so pretentious. It's nothing. Next time when we see Li Hongzhi, we'll take him down all at once!" Along with Xiaobingzi, Dongge, Yangzi, and me, the four of us supported Kui Ge and Song Song back to the dormitory. Everyone was in a bad mood, feeling depressed for the whole night, no one spoke, and went to bed early.

  In the morning after finishing breakfast, several of us returned to the classroom and happened to meet Ming and a few others in our classroom. We walked over and greeted them.

  I walked over and said, "Hey! Ming Ge, who are you waiting for here?" Ming Ge smiled and said, "Not waiting for anyone, waiting for you!" I pointed to myself in confusion and asked, "Waiting for me?" Jia Chengming nodded and followed up with, "Didn't you guys get blocked by someone last night?" I looked at Jia Chengming and asked, "How did you know?!" Jia Chengming hummed and continued, "I guessed! Last night our side also had brothers who got blocked, Li Hongzhi's doing! So I guessed that your side must have been blocked too!" Then Song Song and Kui Ge took a step forward and pointed to themselves.

  "What does it mean that Ming Ge came looking for us brothers?" I asked.

  Jia Chengming said "My intention is that we join forces and deal with Li Hongzhi together" Then the several of us immediately fell silent.

  I was just about to say something! Jia Chengming patted my shoulder and said, "Don't answer me so quickly, Kun Ge, you can think about it again, when you're ready, come find me." Then he turned around and went upstairs.

  After the last class in the afternoon, I returned to the dormitory. Kuai looked at me and said, "Kunzi, do you want to go with Jia Chengming?" Yangzi followed up by saying, "You can't know a person's heart just by looking at their face, who knows what that guy is really like?" I agreed with Yangzi, saying "Yangzi is right, we don't understand him!" Dongge then asked me, "So what do you mean?" I stood up and said, "My meaning is that we can't rely on others. It's just us brothers, whoever wants to go can go!" In the end, everyone agreed with this result, no matter what happens, we'll face it together as brothers.

  By afternoon I didn't go to look for Jia Chengming, I thought it was unnecessary, since all of us brothers decided not to rely on anyone! No matter how big the thing is, there are enough brothers.

  We were chatting and joking with each other at the back of the classroom when Zhang Gang suddenly rushed over to our side.

  I stood up and asked in a strange tone, "Hey! Isn't this Brother Zhang?! What wind blew you here today? Any advice?"

  Zhang Gang said with a straight face, "Li Kun, you guys shouldn't be so smug. You've been causing quite a stir lately and have offended many people. Be careful." Dong Ge followed up by saying, "Thanks for the reminder, Zhang Gang, but you should also be careful." I chuckled and said to Zhang Gang, "Anytime, I'm always ready to accompany you." Then Zhang Gang walked out of the classroom. As I watched his back, I thought of many things.

  Kui Ge patted me from behind and said "What's wrong with you, Kun?"

  I laughed at Kui Ge and said "Nothing much. Class is about to start, let's hurry up and sit down!"

  After school, after finishing dinner in the dormitory, several brothers were smoking and playing cards. Suddenly, our dormitory door was pushed open, then we all turned our heads over, and then saw a person panting and coming in.

  I puffed on my cigarette and looked at the entrance, saying "Hey buddy, who are you looking for?"

  That man took a deep breath and said anxiously, "Kun brother, Ming brother was blocked by Li Hongzhi, I'm here to ask for your help, please hurry up and save Ming brother!" Xiaobi Kui asked, "Where is it?" The man said, "At the alley next to the school supermarket!"

  Then I heard a curse and threw away the card in my hand, followed by "Let's go!" Then several brothers took a stick and rushed to the dormitory. A group of people holding things in their hands rushed to the school supermarket with a crash.

  I arrived at the supermarket and saw Li Hongzhi, then a group of 5 or 6 people surrounded him. I cursed at Li Hongzhi, "Li Hongzhi, fuck your grandfather, I'm here!" The people on that side looked over at us. I said, "Brothers! Let's go all out!" Then I led the charge, dragging my stick and rushing over. Next thing you know, we clashed with Li Hongzhi.

  Li Hongzhi smiled at me and cursed, then a stick hit my shoulder. I took a step back, and another stick hit the top of my head. Li Hongzhi blocked it with his hand, and I followed up with a kick that sent him tumbling to the ground. The surrounding area was crowded with people, and our group had all come armed, so we easily overpowered Li Hongzhi's unarmed men. In no time at all, the fight was settled, and Li Hongzhi's men were writhing in pain on the ground. Then Jia Chengming walked towards me with a smile, holding a brick that he must have picked up somewhere, and I had a bad feeling as soon as I saw it.

  I grasped Jia Chengming's hand and said, "Older brother Ming, isn't this going too far? Must it come to bloodshed?"

  Jia Chengming didn't say a word, just smiled at me and then shook off my hand, rushing towards Li Hongzhi. I heard Li's wailing cry afterwards. I restrained myself from turning around to look at the bloody scene, guessing that the people on the other side were also stunned, probably Jia Chengming had hit him hard. After a while, I couldn't bear it anymore and walked over to Jia Chengming, tugging at his sleeve and saying "Ming Ge, that's enough, if you keep hitting like this, someone will end up dead". Then I handed Jia Chengming a cigarette and lit one for him too.

  Ming Ge looked at me, took a deep breath and said "Damn it! When he blocked us brothers back then, did his mother ever think of these consequences!" Then Jia Chengming got angry again. I looked at the situation and shook my head helplessly. At this time, one of them went over to talk to Jia Chengming, apparently managed something, and was much calmer than before. Then Kui Ge, Yang Zi, Xiao Bingzi, Dong Ge, Song Song and others also came over, we all stood together.

  Jia Chengming walked over to us brothers, smiling and said "Thanks a lot this time, brothers! If not for you guys, I wouldn't have known how to get through this!" Kui Ge was laughing on the side and said "Haven't you heard the saying, Ming Ge? The enemy of an enemy is a friend!" Then we all turned our heads towards that scumbag Kui.

  "Damn it, Qiubai, what's wrong with the way you said that? It sounds weird!" Dongge and the others scolded. Mingge and the others on the side laughed and said "We understand what Qiubai means, but he says it in a strange way." Besides, we're friends, not enemies! I smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything, letting them scold Qiubai for a while.

  Then Li Hongzhi and his gang got up, and he walked towards us, looked at us for a long time, and finally said, "Let's see!" Then he took his useless followers and left.

  We all chatted with each other for a few words, and then dispersed. Ming Ge led his brothers who were more seriously injured to the school infirmary. We looked at each other and there was no major problem.
