Wang Qian and Li Kun did not know where the two broken branches came from, but the motorcyclists believed that they knew. It was obviously Wang Qian and Li Kun, who were very close to them. Only they had the ability to do so. Otherwise, who would be able to throw the light branches so far? They were in pain from being stabbed by the broken branches. If it wasn't for the protective gear on their knees, they might not have been able to stand up.
"I'm warning you, mind your own business!" One of the riders jumped up from the ground and pointed at them. His voice came out of his helmet, and it sounded muffled.
Even at this moment, they were still holding onto the branded bag tightly.
Wang Qian and Li Kun didn't want to cause trouble because they hadn't completed their cultivation yet. It was too early for them to talk about fighting above their level.
But now that things had come to this, they weren't afraid of anything. The two of them looked at each other and knew what they were thinking. With a shout, they threw the large bowls of Mala Hot Soup at the two motorcyclists' bodies.
These two bowls of Mala Tang had just come out of the wok. The thick red oil stock in the wok didn't seem to have much heat, but in fact, the heat was completely covered by the red oil on the surface of the soup. In terms of temperature, it was at least 70 to 80 degrees Celsius.
The motorcyclist was wearing a leather jacket and a helmet, but the helmet's visor had already cracked during the fall. The oil from the Mala Hotpot had splashed onto the visor, blurring their vision and preventing them from seeing anything clearly. Moreover, the helmets were only windproof and not waterproof. A small amount of soup had seeped into the helmets through the cracks, scalding them. They screamed and held their heads with both hands, trying to take off their helmets.
Wang Qian and Li Kun's confidence was boosted. They decided to go all out. While the riders couldn't see the situation clearly, they rushed up and started punching and kicking.
"How dare you steal my bag! How dare you steal my bag! I hate bag thieves the most! "
"F * ck you! Stealing my bag and acting like a tyrant? How dare you act like a tyrant in front of me? Do you know I've practiced it before? "
"Beat him up!"
They used both their hands and feet, and their mouths weren't idle either, cursing and cheering themselves on.
By the time the motorcyclist managed to take off his helmet and throw it away, he had already suffered a few punches and kicks. They were about the same age as Wang Qian and Li Kun, but it was hard to tell what they looked like. Their hair was oily and steamy, sticking to their scalps. Translucent vermicelli dangled from their ears. The spicy soup flowed into their eyes, making them almost unable to open their eyes.
However, Wang Qian and Li Kun had only trained with their mouths. Their fists and legs were weak, and they had no actual fighting experience. Psychologically speaking, they didn't dare to go all out. They were afraid that they would be held responsible if they beat up the riders too badly. Therefore, they didn't cause any substantial damage to the riders.
The motorcycle riders were different. They had to run away quickly, or the police would arrive soon, so they had to get rid of these two troublemakers as soon as possible.
They were desperate, and without saying a word, they threw a punch at Wang Qian's face.
Wang Qian panicked. He instinctively closed his eyes and waved his palm outwards without thinking.
"Aiya!"
The one who fell was not Wang Qian, but the rider who punched at him. He clutched his ribs in pain, as if Wang Qian had hit him hard.
However, Wang Qian felt that he had only grazed the side of the rider's body. He didn't use any force at all, so how could the rider be in so much pain?
On the other side, Li Kun was in a similar situation. The rider had clearly dodged his punch, but for some reason, his body went limp and he threw himself at Li Kun's fist. Then, he was hit squarely. The strange thing was, although he was punched in the chest, the rider fell while clutching the back of his neck.
"Wow! That's amazing! You guys are amazing! "
"That's amazing. Did you guys practice?"
The surrounding students applauded excitedly. Even the street vendors were amazed. They couldn't see the details clearly in the dark, so they thought that Wang Qian and Li Kun had defeated the rider in one move.
Wang Qian and Li Kun were dumbfounded. They didn't understand how the rider could be so weak. Could it be that … they had followed their master for a long time and unknowingly achieved immortal cultivation? They had heard that the most powerful cultivators could cultivate immortal cultivation while sleeping. Could it be that they had developed the ability to cultivate immortal cultivation while playing games?
Li Kun picked up the bag from the ground and handed it back to the owner. The owner was also a student of Binhai University. The bag was a Christmas gift from her boyfriend. In addition to its monetary value, it was also very memorable.
She thanked Wang Qian and Li Kun so much that they were embarrassed.
After a while, the police who had received the report arrived.
Since the incident happened close to Binhai University, and the incident involved students of Binhai University, the head of the school's security department also arrived with his subordinates to persuade the unrelated students to return to school.
The cause, process, and result of the incident were very clear. There were many witnesses, so the police took the two riders and left after hastily taking their statements.
"Are you students of Binhai University?" The head of the security department came to ask. He had overheard the police taking Wang Qian and Li Kun's statements.
"Yes." They couldn't hide it even if they wanted to, so they honestly told him their major, class, name, and student number.
The head of the security division noted down their names and student numbers. Smiling, he patted their shoulders and praised, "Good lads, you're really something. Acting bravely for a just cause is a great thing that's hard to come by. Have you received any honors or commendations before? Have you ever been a good student? "
Wang Qian thought about it and said hesitantly, "Elementary school … does that count?"
Li Kun answered, "My King of Kings was a diamond."
Ever since they were young, their grades had always been average, and they had never received any honors. Even when they were playing games, they had never reached the top.
The head of the security department said, "… Forget it. You guys go back first. If there is anything, I will find you again."
"That … Did we just act bravely for a just cause?" The two of them asked uncertainly. They had been hot-headed and had smashed the noodles on the other party's head. If it was considered excessive self-defense or intentional injury, it would be troublesome.
"If what you said just now is correct, then it is considered acting bravely for a just cause," the head of the security department explained. "You were stopping the criminal from committing illegal acts, because the other party kept holding onto the victim's bag and didn't let go until the last moment when they fell to the ground. After they let go, you didn't do any additional damage. If this isn't acting bravely for a just cause, then what is? If this isn't acting bravely for a just cause … Don't worry, the school will fight the lawsuit with you. "
"Don't worry, I am willing to testify for you. The others just watched and didn't do anything. You guys stopped them because you wanted to help me get my bag back!" The girl from earlier also said from the side. She had a lot of opinions about the other people present.
Wang Qian and Li Kun breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts returned to their stomachs. However, they really wanted to say that they weren't the ones who stopped the motorcycle, and that they didn't have the ability to do so. But if they said that, it would obviously complicate things, so they held back and didn't say it.
"Okay, it's getting late. You guys go back first," the head of the security department said. Then, he reminded Wang Qian and Li Kun meaningfully, "For the next few days, you must keep your phones connected. Make sure that the school can find you if they want to."
Wang Qian and Li Kun nodded confusedly.
The head of the security department and his subordinates brought the girl back to the school. The onlookers gradually dispersed, and the street vendors gradually packed up. The alley became even quieter and darker.
Wang Qian and Li Kun felt like they were in a dream.
"F * ck! I didn't even get to eat the bowl of spicy soup before I slapped it away! "Wang Qian suddenly realized and said regretfully while slapping his thigh.
Li Kun also felt sorry for him, but then he thought about it and smiled, "It's okay, big bro. We didn't pay for it! At least we got to taste the soup. It's not a loss! "
Thinking of this, the two of them turned from worry to joy.
Wang Qian remembered the business at hand, and counted the cards he had left. "I only have a few dozen left. What about you?"
Li Kun was stunned. "F * ck! Speaking of this … When I was picking up the girl's bag, I think I accidentally stuck my last card on her bag … "
Wang Qian was speechless.
Li Kun also seemed to realize that he had done something wrong. He said guiltily, "You can't blame me. I just stuck it on her bag! What do you think her boyfriend will do if he finds out that there is a card like that on her bag tomorrow? "
"Nothing," Wang Qian answered decisively.
A gust of cold wind blew, and they both felt a chill down their spines, but at the same time, their blood was boiling. They had finally surpassed their master in one thing — breaking up a couple with their own hands.
"Will her boyfriend take revenge on us?" Li Kun asked.
"Who knows? I think we should stay more at the pet shop and at home, and less at school. Maybe we will be stabbed to death one day." Wang Qian made a wise decision.
The two of them walked back along the other side of the road, talking about what had just happened. What puzzled them was, how did the motorcycle overturn? Was it a mechanical failure or a supernatural event? What about the broken twig?
They also stuck the remaining dozens of small cards on their way back, but to avoid arousing suspicion, they deliberately left one for the door of the pet shop.
Not far behind them, on the roofs of the shops along the street, a ghostly figure was looming, using billboards, eaves, broken light boxes and other objects to hide its figure. Even if it was occasionally exposed to the moonlight, it would disappear in a flash. Its speed was so fast that it made people wonder if their eyes were playing tricks on them …
This figure was wearing a bamboo hat and a thin long gown. It was obviously dressed like an ancient night ranger, but its body was much smaller. Under the shadow of the bamboo hat, a pair of brass eyes were shining. They were so bright that they could take one's soul away. At first glance, one could tell that they were not human eyes. However, this pair of eyes did not make people feel afraid. It contained a peaceful but irresistible power.
Old Time Tea followed Wang Qian and Li Kun from a high position, talking loudly along the way.
It looked up at the starry sky. Due to the heavy light pollution, not many stars could be seen. Cats' eyesight was not suitable for long-distance vision and still objects. Only after becoming an elfin could it clearly see the starry sky.
Today, when Old Time Tea asked Zhang Zian to accompany Wang Qian and Li Kun to go out at night, Zhang Zian's reaction was quite unexpected. He advised Old Time Tea to change the time. After all, it was too cold at night. Old Time Tea hadn't been out much recently. It felt that if it stayed in the shop any longer, its bones would get rusty, so it insisted on coming. It really helped Wang Qian and Li Kun a lot. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to pass the girl's dormitory.
As for stopping the motorcycle rider, it was an unexpected reward. Of course, Old Time Tea wouldn't ignore illegal things. It decisively punished the two men and gave credit to Wang Qian and Li Kun. Maybe it would bring them some unexpected benefits. They worked hard in the pet shop every day, so they deserved to be rewarded.
Wang Qian and Li Kun turned a corner in front of them and took a shortcut back to the pet shop.
Old Time Tea picked up a pebble and flicked it in another direction, intending to remind them to go straight home instead of going back to the pet shop. However, after hearing the noise, the two of them became suspicious and thought that it was really a supernatural event, so they deliberately avoided going home.
Old Time Tea smiled helplessly. These two were straightforward people. Their brains often didn't work, or sometimes they made a wrong turn. It could only let them be.
These days, Old Time Tea felt that Zhang Zian seemed to have something on his mind. Although there was no evidence, its intuition told it that Zhang Zian's worries had something to do with it.
Was it because of the New Year that he was thinking about its age?
Old Time Tea thought that Zhang Zian's worries were unnecessary. Zhang Zian was still too young to worry about this. Birth, old age, sickness, and death were all part of human nature, even for cats. If he tried to change his fate, he would have to pay a high price.
Was there really a way to change one's fate in this world?
The pet shop was in sight. Most of the lights on the second floor were off, except for the toilet. Wang Qian and Li Kun quickened their steps. When they arrived at the door, they realized that there was no need to go back to the pet shop.
They whispered to each other and stuck the last card neatly on the shutter door. Then they said goodbye to each other and went home to find their mothers.
After they left, Old Time Tea jumped to the window of the toilet on the second floor, gently grabbed the window frame with the tip of its paw, opened the window silently, got into the room, closed the window, and locked it.
"Grandpa Tea, you are back."
Zhang Zian was still awake. He was looking at his phone. He felt a cool breeze blowing into the room. He knew that Old Time Tea was back. He left the unlocked toilet window specially for Old Time Tea.
"Zian, why are you still awake? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me to come back? "Old Time Tea took off its bamboo hat and came in from the cold outdoors. It liked the warmth indoors more and more.
Zhang Zian pointed in the direction of the living room. There was some dim light coming through.
"It's okay. Pi is still awake anyway."
Old Time Tea nodded. "Go to sleep. You have to wake up early tomorrow. Oh, the two kids went home safe and sound. Nothing happened on the way home. "
She didn't mean to hide it, but punishing the two motorcycle riders was just a trivial matter that wasn't worth mentioning in her magnificent cat life.
