Chapter 34: The Youth Who Blocked the Way
One side was angry, the other side was wronged. They had worked hard to earn money for these snacks, but they were snatched away by those few kids. For a moment, they gritted their teeth in anger, wishing they could swallow those kids whole.
Tuni closed her eyes, and for a moment, her defensive heart rose. She didn't believe that these little guys were just fighting over two sugar gourds. However, if they wanted to snatch money from between her teeth, no way.
"What do you want to do?!" Tuni said in a low voice.
Across from me were six young boys, about eight to ten years old. The leader was holding a long thin bamboo pole in his hand and had a straw in his mouth, with an evil grin on his face.
A thin boy behind him said, "It's them. I saw them selling chestnuts at the market yesterday and bought a lot of meat back home. They're here again today, they must have money on them..."
"Is that Ni Mei?! As expected, they're after money! They think she's easy to bully just because of her young age?! Doesn't matter if Shen Si Si is willing or not, they'll still try to get what they want!"
Six young men were wearing tattered and dirty clothes, really like beggars, but beggars couldn't evoke her sympathy either. What the hell, Shen Sisi came here to eat black pancakes, what's the difference with beggars?!
Essentially, there's no difference. A beggar occasionally gets money and may even get a meal from kind-hearted people. Shen SiSi had her first meat meal in eight years yesterday, but now she's being asked to spit out the money she could use to eat meat - it's like cutting her flesh and it hurts. At this point, she got a bit angry.
"Want to rob money?!" Shen Sisi chuckled.
They didn't take her seriously at all, seeing how small and thin she was, they didn't think it was a big deal. The leading boy said: "Smart girl, hand over the money, otherwise you'll get a good beating... ah... ouch..."
That young man hadn't even finished speaking, and before he could react, Shen Sisi had already thrown the money into her storage space and pounced on him with her bare fists. She grabbed the leader of the group and gave him a good beating. Originally slender, she was actually shorter than that young man, but she won by catching him off guard. By the time the young master reacted, he was already pinned to the ground, dazed from being hit repeatedly. Shen Sisi didn't care; she just kept punching his face and stomach with all her might. Although her fists were small, they made up for it in quantity, and soon the young master was unable to get up, his stomach aching terribly, his nose blue and swollen...
The five people behind were stunned, they were used to stealing and robbing small children, but had never dared to rob adults before. They had always targeted kids who would cry and give them what they wanted at the sight of their numbers and intimidating attitude. But today, they met a tough nut.
Three brothers thought it was normal to be beaten by their sister, and it would be abnormal if they didn't fight back. Although the sister had the upper hand at this time, the three of them were not to be underestimated either. They stepped forward and surrounded those five young men, saying: "Return our sugar gourd, or you'll have to bear the consequences..."
They were used to fighting and rolling around with other young people in the village, where there was no particular etiquette. If things went well, they could wear a pair of pants; if not, they could fight. The three brothers were also used to it, although dealing with five people might be a bit stressful. But after all, they were all peers, and they wouldn't suffer much loss. Most importantly, the three brothers would never give in and hand over their money. Er Bao and San Bao still had a grudge against that sugar gourd, so it was even more impossible for them to hand over their money.
