Chapter 8

  "After taking the picture, Huang Xiangsu frowned and said: 'Damn it, I originally only wanted to take a picture of that Japanese woman, how did I also get that Japanese man in the shot.'"

  Liáng Zhōngguó grumbled: "Xiāo Zhuàn, why did you let go? Now look what's happened, Xiāng Sù has successfully taken the photo."

  Xiao Zhen glared at Liang Zhongguo and said, "Then why did you let go?"

  Liáng Zhōngguó said: "There's a saying that goes 'men and women should not have close contact when giving or receiving things', but letting Xiāng Sù bite me isn't quite right either."

  Xiao Zhen said: "I think so too."

  At this time, Huang Xiangsu touched Liang Zhongguo and said: "Liang brother, that Japanese man has come."

  Liang Zhongguo and Xiao Zhen saw that Japanese man put away the paper umbrella, holding it in his left hand, pulling the beautiful woman's hand, and walking towards them with a furious expression. Liang Zhongguo felt uncomfortable seeing the Japanese man hold the Japanese woman's hand.

  The Japanese man and woman ran to the front of Liang Zhongguo and others, and stopped. The Japanese man shouted in Chinese: "Chinaman, why are you taking pictures of us?" The Chinese derogatory term for the Japanese is guizi, while the Japanese derogatory term for the Chinese is this very word, Chinaman.

  Liáng Zhōngguó and the other two heard this rìběn man say "Shina people" three words, their faces all had angry expressions. Liáng Zhōngguó sternly said: "Little devil, keep your mouth clean."

  The Japanese man and woman knew that the Chinese people's derogatory term for them was "ghosts", but the beautiful Japanese woman didn't show any anger on her face. The Japanese man, however, suddenly became furious and shouted: "Chinese people, how dare you insult us Japanese!"

  Xiao Leng coldly smiled and said: "Little devil, you dare scold us Chinese people, we Chinese people will also dare to scold you Japanese."

  That day, the man coldly said: "Japanese person, I think you're tired of living."

  That day, a beautiful woman also used Chinese to persuade: "Xu Yan, say what you want to say."

  That Japanese man, with a stern expression, first said to the Japanese beauty: "Sakura, I'm listening to you." Then he continued to say to the three Chinese people: "Chinese devils, hand over the film in your camera and destroy it."

  Li Chong said with a smile: "What a joke! Why should we give you the film of our camera?"

  "That day, the man slowly said: 'Just because you took pictures of us for no reason, I'm asking you to hand over the film. Destroying it a bit is not excessive.'"

  Li said with a sneer: "We were taking scenic photos and accidentally took pictures of you, so we have to hand over the film. You're being too overbearing."

  That day, the man pointed at Huang Xiangsu and sneered: "Then how did I see that this little girl deliberately took a photo of us?"

  Li Chongzhong rolled his eyes and said: "The scenery is right behind you, that's why you're misunderstanding."

  "That's right," said the man in a low voice, "you're admitting that you took pictures of us."

  Li said lightly: "What's it to you?"

  That day the man said word for word: "If so, then you have to hand over the film and destroy it."

  Li Chong said with a cold smile: "What if I don't destroy it?"

  That man sneered on that day: "Then you are looking for death."

  "Alright, Suyoshi," said the beautiful woman in a soft voice. "Since they didn't intentionally take our picture, let's just forget it."

  That day, the man hummed: "Sheng Sakura, don't listen to that Japanese person's nonsense, he must be making excuses."

  That day, the beautiful woman smiled lightly and said: "Even if they intentionally took our picture, since they want a photo of us two, then we'll give it to them."

  Huang Xiangsu saw that she had caused trouble due to her momentary jealousy, and when she heard this beauty say these words, she felt a surge of joy in her heart. She smiled sweetly and said: "This sister is indeed reasonable."

  This beautiful woman smiled sweetly at her boyfriend on a sunny morning.

  That day the man shook his head and said: "No, this way we are too polite. When have we Japanese ever been polite to those Chinese?"

  Xiao Zhan said coldly: "That's right, since the start of the First Sino-Japanese War, you Japanese have been invading our China step by step, and indeed, there has been no courtesy."

  That day, the man coldly said: "If you want to blame someone, blame China for being too easy to bully. Who can be blamed?"

  Li Zhongguo clenched his fists and said word by word: "So your meaning is that we Chinese are too good to be bullied by you Japanese."

  That day, the man stared at Liang Zhongguo and said lightly: "What do you think?"

  Li Chong said calmly: "Then tell me, will I be bullied by you?"

  That day, the man coldly said: "A mantis trying to stop a chariot, you're overestimating your strength!"

  Huang Xiangsu and that beauty Riben both smelled a hint of gunpowder, and they quickly pulled their own people away.

  That day's beauty held that day's man's hand and said, "Xū Yàn, today is the day you accompany me to stroll around the streets, don't fight, okay?"

  That man took a deep breath, pointed at Liang Zhongguo and coldly snorted: "You little brat, consider yourself lucky today. If Sheng Ying hadn't held me back, I would have beaten you to death by now."

  Liáng Zhōngguó was enraged upon hearing this and shook off Huáng Xiāngsù's hand, shouting: "You little devil, who's afraid of whom? If you've got the guts, then go ahead and kill me!"

  That day the man also pulled open that day's beautiful woman's hand and said: "Japanese person, are you giving face or not giving face?"

  Li said coldly: "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

  That man snorted twice and said, "Sheng Ying, I didn't want to fight originally, but this Japanese guy is really too arrogant. If I don't teach him a lesson today, he won't know the meaning of death." After finishing speaking, that Japanese man swung a horizontal knife hand towards Liang Zhongguo. Liang Zhongguo dodged the fatal blow with a loud shout and that Japanese man was slightly taken aback, saying "Japanese guy, I didn't expect you to have practiced martial arts."

  Li said with a cold smile: "Little devil, don't look down on people with your dog eyes. We Chinese are not as useless as you think."

  That man hummed and said: "Then I'll see how many moves you can withstand from me."

  In the blink of an eye, Liang Zhongguo and that Japanese man suddenly started fighting. The Japanese beauty and Huang Xiangsu saw their beloved men fighting and were extremely anxious, shouting loudly for them to stop. However, Liang Zhongguo and the Japanese man were both hot-headed young men who refused to listen, turning a deaf ear to their pleas. On the street, Chinese people seeing someone fighting immediately gathered around in circles, watching with great interest. Seeing that it was their compatriots fighting against the Japanese, they loudly shouted "Beat those little devils to death!" Huang Xiangsu and the Japanese beauty's weak voices were instantly drowned out.

  Xiao Zhen pulled Huang Xiangsu tight and said, "Huang Xiangsu, stop shouting. The little devils should be taught a lesson by us Chinese people. You should be cheering for China instead."

  Huang Xiangsu worried: "Fighting is always bad." After finishing speaking, Huang Xiangsu sighed and secretly blamed herself for causing trouble. The beautiful woman from Japan saw that mediating was useless and could only anxiously watch as Liang Zhongguo and the Japanese man fought.

  Looking at the situation again, that Japanese man kept advancing with his feet and hands, fiercely striking Liang Zhongguo in a neat and orderly manner, completely different from the moves of a thug. Liang Zhongguo saw that the Japanese man's attack was too fierce, knew he had met a master, and couldn't help but retreat continuously, secretly shocked and thinking: I thought this Japanese man with a sword at his waist was just a skilled swordsman, but his boxing skills are also so formidable.

  That day Ben saw China being beaten by himself with no power to fight back, and smiled proudly: "Japanese, are you afraid?"

  Liáng Zhōngguó let out a loud hum, his right hand still holding the wooden skewer with two ice sugar gourds on it. He thrust it straight at the Japanese man's eyeball. The Japanese man didn't underestimate Liáng Zhōngguó's move and stretched out two fingers to pinch the skewer. "Crack" - the Japanese man lightly twisted the skewer, breaking it into two segments. Immediately after, he flew forward using his left leg to kick Liáng Zhōngguó's head straight on. Liáng Zhōngguó raised his left hand to block the attack, "Bang", the Japanese man kicked Liáng Zhōngguó's left hand, and Liáng Zhōngguó heard the sound of his own bones breaking in his left hand. Fortunately, the spot where the Japanese man kicked was far from the position of Liáng Zhōngguó's watch on his wrist, so his watch wasn't damaged. Otherwise, he would have been scolded to death by his parents.

  Li Chong tightly endured the pain, lifted one foot and kicked the waist of that Japanese man. Li Chong didn't know boxing or kicking techniques, he only knew knife fighting, but he could seize the opportunity. He had already noticed that the Japanese man's previous kick was with all his might, a move once made with full force is extremely difficult to retract, Li Chong deeply understood this point and thus made this move, he was confident that this kick would definitely hit the Japanese man.

  Li Chongyuan was right, this kick really hit that Japanese man, and the Japanese man fell into the thick snow, while Li Chongyuan also retreated two steps back.

  The onlookers saw Liang Zhongguo beat the Japanese man to the ground and cheered loudly, but only one of the onlookers, a man with a cotton-padded jacket and a few days' worth of stubble, shook his head. Here, except for that Japanese beauty, no one was worried about that man.

  Li Zhongguo stood firmly, but found that his left hand was soft and weak, unable to exert any strength. He cursed his bad luck silently, then looked at the Japanese man, who got up from the ground with a relaxed expression, patted his buttocks gently, and smiled: "Chinese, you kicked me but it didn't hurt at all. It seems you haven't practiced leg techniques."

  Li looked coldly at the Japanese man, not responding. The Japanese man continued: "Chinaman, if I lose to you today, then I will have lost face for the great Empire of Japan, so I must win against you. You can thoroughly enjoy the pain that I bring to you."

  Liáng Zhōngguó still didn't speak, that Japanese man's expression turned cold, and he shouted loudly: "Chinaman, go die!" After saying this, the Japanese man quickly ran forward. When he was five steps away from Liáng Zhōngguó, he jumped into the air, raised his right foot, and used his knee to strike Liáng Zhōngguó's face. Liáng Zhōngguó's left hand could no longer be used for combat; otherwise, it would have been crippled. He could only use his right hand to block the Japanese man's powerful knee. After Liáng Zhōngguó's hand and the Japanese man's knee collided, Liáng Zhōngguó couldn't withstand the strong impact and was sent flying far away. This time, it was Liáng Zhōngguó who fell to the ground.
