Chapter 4: Bitten by a Dog

  The gun is still worth asking for, what if there's a beautiful woman who's blind?

  I'm still clueless until the moment I walked out, why did I run into that beautiful girl at the bar? Why did she agree to go out with me so readily?

  Of course, the process of getting there is secondary, and the result is what matters.

  The result of this appointment is that I left home and rushed to my destination an hour in advance.

  Hongshan Road 47, a place name that sounds slightly exciting to me.

  Will that be the place where I change my life?

  Will that be the end of my bachelor life?

  Will it or won't it?

  Only heaven knows.

  Hongshan Road 47, I've never been to this place. It just sounds a bit familiar.

  "Driver, go to 47 Hongshan Road." Taking a taxi is also a luxury for poor people like me.

  My brother turned his head and glanced at me with an expression that I found a bit strange.

  I think he seems like there's something he wants to tell me.

  "What's wrong? Is there a problem?" I asked proactively.

  "Nothing... nothing." His brother shook his head, "Young man, something's happened at home, right?"

  "It's nothing." I furrowed my brow, unsure why he spoke like that.

  "Ah." His brother nodded meaningfully, "It's all right, it's all right. This person, just has to be open-minded. Xiao Shenyang said it well, with one blink of an eye a day passes, and with one blink that doesn't open, a lifetime passes...

  My brother drove while talking a lot of nonsense that sounded like someone had died in his family.

  I'm somewhat polite, so when I see Brother saying something with such vigor, I'll just pretend not to hear and won't interrupt him. Looking at his expression, I reckon he's having a bad day, can be excused, can be excused - who let me have a good mood today?

  The car drove for a long time and finally arrived.

  Don't even mention it, this place is really damn far!

  "After getting off the bus, turn left at the first intersection and you'll arrive at No. 47," said Ge, turning his head to me.

  "Do we still have to walk forward? Why can't we just drive over?" I asked, looking at Ge in confusion.

  "Uh...that..." his brother said, somewhat hesitantly, "Young man, that place is a bit unlucky, I didn't go there myself. It's very close to here, just walk two steps and you'll arrive. We're all having a hard time, let's be understanding of each other."

  I saw my brother say so sincerely, I gave him money and got off the car.

  After he drove away, I slapped my forehead and felt something was a bit strange.

  "Inauspicious? That place is inauspicious? Dare to say the place where Laozi is going to hang out is inauspicious? Damn it, come back here for Laozi!"

  I shouted in a rage, but that guy had already sped away in his car and was out of sight before I knew it.

  No professionalism! I'll definitely file a complaint against you when I get back!

  I thought so in my heart, but with great things being heavy, I still walked forward immediately.

  My brother didn't cheat me, after walking for a while, I really saw an intersection.

  Is it the intersection that brother said?

  I originally planned to ask someone else for directions, but when I turned around and looked around, I found that this road was indeed desolate, without a single person in sight, not even a passing car.

  "Ah!"

  "Get out!"

  "Hooligan!"

  "You mad dog."

  A burst of scolding voices suddenly came from the front.

  Hooligan? Is someone acting like a hooligan?

  In an instant, a scene of a rascal teasing a virtuous young girl flashed through my mind.

  I hesitated for a moment and then ran towards that intersection, turning my head to look left.

  I saw a tree with a man and a woman under it.

  The man is holding onto the woman, and she's struggling.

  Needless to say, it was this woman who just scolded the rascal.

  "No!"

  "Get out of here!"

  "You crazy dog!"

  The woman continued to scold him, but this only made the man's movements more intense and unrestrained.

  Under the bright sky, all is clear and transparent.

  Is someone actually acting like a hooligan? And doing it so thoroughly?

  What to do? Should I intervene or not? If I don't, my conscience won't be clear. But if I do, what if they're just a couple joking around? What if it's a scammer setting up a trap to cheat people? What if that thug pulls out a knife and wants to teach me a lesson? What if that thug is the mayor's uncle? What if...

  I've come up with countless what-ifs and have a million reasons for not getting involved in this matter.

  But I still cared in the end.

  Because I saw that woman's face. That woman I know, no mistake, the one who was raped by a gangster is the one I'm meeting today.

  Bastard! Let go of that girl and let me come!

  I randomly picked up a brick from the ground and rushed over.

  "Ah!" I rushed up behind the man in an instant, and at that moment, the man also turned around and shouted at me.

  What does a learned dog say?

  I can too.

  "Woof, woof, woof......"

  I also cried out loudly several times.

  "Woof woof woof woof......" The man let go of my goddess and suddenly started barking nonstop.

  I'm stunned! I don't understand what's going on. Previously, I thought that this time I rushed over, there would be two results: either I was knocked down by him or I knocked him down. But now, neither of us has made a move, and both of us are barking like dogs.

  What is this thing?

  Big brother, you're messing with me!

  The beauty escaped from the man's hands and pulled her clothes in front of her chest, covering up the places that shouldn't be exposed.

  "Get out of here!" The beautiful woman shouted at the man, pointing at him.

  Judging from their tone, it seems like they know each other.

  Is it her husband?

  Oh no! If it's her husband, I'll be totally humiliated.

  "Woof woof woof......" The man raised his hand and pointed at me, then turned around and barked a few times at the beautiful woman.

  "Who he is has nothing to do with you, get out of here immediately." The beauty gritted her teeth and said to the man.

  The man who was learning dog barks continued to learn dog barks...

  "I'm telling you again, mind your own business and get out of here! Don't bother me again in the future..." The beautiful woman said a lot more to that man, who barked a few times before turning his head towards me.

  A flash of light flickered in his eyes.

  "Wow!" The man yelled at me loudly.

  Then he rushed towards me.

  No, it didn't run over, it pounced over.

  I was startled, what's going on here? Even a fight isn't fought like this!

  At the critical moment, I suddenly remembered that what I was holding in my hand wasn't tofu but a brick.

  You little brat, you dare come and I'll slap you to death with a brick!

  I had already taken a pose to take his picture, just waiting for him to pounce in front of me. But when he pounced in front of me, I found myself too naive.

  This time I lost the battle, and what defeated me was either naivety or innocence.

  I had thought of every possible outcome, but I never expected this guy to pounce on me and, instead of hitting me, he directly opened his mouth and bit down on my shoulder.

  Ouch!

  Friends, it's summer now. In the summer, no one wears thick clothes, just a thin T-shirt on top. His two rows of teeth bit down at once, sinking into the flesh three inches deep!

  I want to cry but have no tears.

  I've used that trick of biting people before, but it was only when I couldn't win a fight and had no other choice. Who starts by using such a dirty trick? This is just too shameless!

  "Hey buddy, have you had enough?" I patted his back while enduring the pain. Of course, I didn't pat him with my hand, but with the brick in my hand.

  He didn't respond to me and continued to bite me. I also kept hitting...

  Clap...clap...

  One down, two down, three down, four down, five down...

  I don't know how many times I took pictures, if it wasn't for him biting me too painfully, I reckon I could have fallen asleep counting like this.

  It is proved by practice that the harm caused by a tile is greater than that caused by a tongue.

  After he bit me and I slapped him in our dispute, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

  Yes, victory often belongs to those who persist until the end.

  He relaxed his mouth, then stared at me with a glare, barked twice and immediately took off running.

  As I watched his fleeing back, I let out a sigh of relief.

  Hero saves beauty, succeeded! Beauty, will you grant me your body? If he wants to grant me his body, should I accept or not?

  I turned around and gently looked at the beautiful woman.

  At this moment, I forgot the pain, forgot the brick in my hand, forgot the vast sky and the bright sunshine. In my heart, in my eyes, deep in my mind, there was only this beautiful woman.

  The beauty also looked at me.

  "She suddenly cried out again: 'Ah! You're bleeding! This is terrible.'"
