Suddenly, there was a commotion at the end of the street.
Ni Dahai turned his head and saw that someone was fighting at the end of the street. He knew the men who were fighting. They were all hooligans on this street. They usually formed gangs and did all kinds of things. The leader was Zhao San 'er. He was considered a tyrant in the county.
It was not strange that they were fighting.
But their opponents were a little strange.
Four or five burly old men were shouting and yelling at a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. They rolled up their sleeves and looked fierce, but they still didn't dare to move forward. They just stomped their feet and shouted.
"You little girl, what kind of witchcraft are you using?"
"What are you holding in your hand?"
"Ouch, Third Brother, I can't take it anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the boys fell to the ground with a thud. His limbs were cramping and he was foaming at the mouth. He looked like he was having epilepsy. When the surrounding onlookers saw this, they all moved away.
Their vision opened up.
Only then did Mixiang 'er take a closer look at the girl in the crowd. She wasn't tall and was rather petite. Her skin was so white that it was somewhat frightening. It could be said that it was so white that it was almost transparent. Even the capillaries under her skin were faintly visible. Her facial features were delicate and pretty. Her eyes were round and black, and her eyelashes were thick. Coupled with her snow-white complexion, the contrast between black and white was somewhat strange.
Looking at her dress, she was not a Han Chinese. She wore a blue cloth wrapped around her head. She wore a full jacket of the same color and material. The sleeves were wide and without a collar. She was paired with a pair of blue shorts. There were peonies embroidered on the front of the shorts. The colors were bright and dazzling. Standing in the crowd, she could be seen from afar.
Mi Xaing 'er was experienced and knowledgeable. She knew that this was the dress of the Miao people. But in that era, it was rare to see the Miao people in the northeast. She could not help but be curious. She took a few steps forward and stared at the "battle" in front of her.
Zhao San 'er saw the appearance of his "brother". He was also somewhat knowledgeable. He was a little scared. "Stupid girl, did you poison my brother?"
Mi Xaing 'er heard this and glanced at the person on the ground.
Wasn't that right?
That man's hand was black. The black color was spreading upwards. He was really poisoned.
It seemed that this Miao girl was a master of poison.
The girl smiled coldly. When she spoke, her voice was crisp and pleasant. "Yes, I did poison him a little. Who asked him to touch me? Bah, serves him right!"
When the surrounding people heard this, they understood that the guy lying on the ground must have taken a liking to the girl. He was a little lustful. He was a little unruly.
Zhao San's stared his eyes wide open.... Who touched you? Who touched you? What evidence do you have? "
He stretched out his large palm. "Hurry up and give my brother the antidote. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
He was probably used to being arrogant and fighting on a daily basis. Of course, he was prepared. With a wave of his hand, he pulled out a chain from his trousers and swung it twice in the air. The sound of the wind whistling was frightening. If this chain hit his body, it would definitely be a bloody wound. It might even leave a scar.
Not to mention that the girl was timid, even a man's legs would tremble if they saw his aggressive look.
The few hooligans around him followed suit and pulled out their chains.
Normal people would not be able to withstand this aura. They would have run away in fear.
However, the Miao girl was calm and composed. She put her hands behind her back and straightened her small shoulders. "Why? Are you guys trying to bully a few men and a bare-handed woman like me?"
What she said …
Although Zhao San was a shameless person, he still felt his face burning. He could not help but argue. "How can you be bare-handed? You're obviously poisoned. You're a little poisonous woman who harms people. We don't have to be merciful to deal with people like you. What's with the rules of the underworld? Let's take you down first and force the antidote out of you."
Once he finished speaking, he waved the chain and "attacked".
Although there were onlookers, they were afraid of Zhao San's aura and did not dare to stop the fight. They all retreated to the side. They could not be blamed. Acting bravely for a just cause required skill and courage.
Mi Xaing 'er turned to look at Ni Dahai.
Ni Dahai was also a "slippery" person. Just from the first meeting with Mi Xaing 'er, she could tell that he was not a righteous person. He was basically the type who would not get up early if there was no benefit. He would not meddle in other people's business.
In the blink of an eye …
Zhao San and the rest pounced in front of the Miao girl. A few chains danced and formed an inescapable net, ruthlessly whipping towards the little girl's body.
Mi Xaing 'er could not stand it anymore. A bunch of old men beating up a little girl. What kind of ability was this?
She looked down and saw that she still had a shoulder pole in her hand. She might as well swing it and rush up. In her heart, she thought that she had to slow down the girl. Maybe she would have a chance to escape.
Zhao San heard the sound of the wind behind him and hurriedly turned around. When he saw the shoulder pole above his head, he quickly dodged to the side. His movements were a little too slow and the shoulder pole hit him, causing a piercing pain.
From the corner of his eye, he saw that there was another seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in front of him. His heart was filled with hatred. He did not know what day it was today, but he went out to compete with a little girl.
His teeth itched with hatred, but he did not say much. He swung the chain and ran towards Mi Xaing 'er. His companions were all used to fighting together. Without needing him to call them, they naturally split into two groups. One group dealt with Mi Xaing' er, and the other group dealt with the Miao girl. It looked like they were about to fight.
The Miao girl was not to be trifled with. Even if she was stupid, she knew that since she dared to "challenge" a few old men, she must have some ability.
She had some martial arts with her fists and legs. Her movements were quite nimble. Her movements were like a ghost.
Good fellow.
She also had a weapon on her.
She took out a silver hook. With a flick of her wrist, the silver hook danced like a silver moon. As she fought, she approached Mi Xaing 'er. The two of them stood back to back. They quickly looked at each other and smiled. They really did seem to have a common enemy.
The two little girls, one wielding a shoulder pole and the other wielding a silver hook, were "facing off" against four old men. It was really strange that they did not seem to be defeated.
The people at the side watched with their mouths agape. They had never seen such a "close combat" fight.
Ni Dahai could watch others fight indifferently.
However, seeing that Mi Xiang 'er was somewhat impatient, he didn't think too much about it and directly charged into the battle.
He was tall and strong. He had the aura of a gorilla charging into a pack of wolves. He swung his fists and legs, smashing and kicking anyone he saw. In a few rounds, he had taken down Zhao San's men.
Zhao San took half a step back with a look of surprise on his face. They were all from the same street. Of course, they knew each other. He politely clasped his fists. "Big Ni, what do you mean by this?"
Ni Dahai returned a smile. "Third Brother, you know that I don't like to meddle in other people's business. But today, I can't."
He casually pointed at Mi Xaing 'er. "No matter who bullies her, I can't stand it."
Zhao San frowned. "She's your girlfriend."
"That's none of your business. Anyway, I feel bad when I see her in trouble."
Ni Dahai clasped his fists politely. "Third Brother, if you give me face today and raise your hand, I'll let this matter pass. I'll owe you a favor in the future. If you don't want to end it, that's fine. Whether it's a one-on-one fight or a group fight, you decide. I'll accompany you to the end."
Although he had a smile on his face, his words were gloomy and domineering. His eyes were also filled with determination. Anyone who saw it knew that he was serious.
Zhao San knew that this Ni Dahai was very capable. He had connections with both the underworld and the underworld. He was a master that could not be offended.
He glanced at his subordinates again. They were all injured. He knew that he would not be able to get away with it today. He could only say a few words. "Alright then, Big Ni. I'll give you face and not argue with them."
He paused for a moment. "However, my brother was poisoned."
The Miao girl kept her silver hook and smiled. She answered straightforwardly. "You want the antidote? I don't have it."
There was no antidote?
How was that possible?
Zhao San's expression changed. "Don't give me that."
The girl brushed off the dust on her body. "A man with ulterior motives should be punished. To be honest, the poison is almost gone when he convulsed just now. The remaining poison will only make his arm itchy for a few hours. Once the time is up, it will naturally be gone."
When Zhao San heard this, although he was a little doubtful, he had no choice but to help his subordinates up and leave in a sorry state.
When the onlookers saw the commotion, they slowly dispersed.
Only then did the girl turn to Mi Xaing 'er. Her big black eyes looked as if there was a layer of mist in them. It was as if they could suck away one's soul if one looked at them too deeply. "Miss, thank you for your help just now. What's your name?"
Her voice was soft and cute. Although she was not as formal as the Han Chinese, one could tell from her tone that she liked Mi Xaing 'er very much.
In order to express her sincerity, she introduced herself first. "I'm Tian Xiner. My family calls me Xin 'er."
Sweet Xin 'er.
This person called Xin 'er was as sweet as her name suggested.
Mi Xaing 'er could not help but laugh. "My surname is Mi Xaing' er. I'm 18 this year. I should be older than you."
Tian Xin clapped her hands. "What a coincidence. I'm 18 too. When were you born?"
She was very friendly.
Mi Xaing 'er did not argue. "I was born in February."
"What a coincidence. Me too." Tian Xiner's eyes widened. "What's your age?"
Mi Xaing 'er was also interested. "25."
Tian Xin's mouth was wide open. After a long time, she spat out a few words. "Oh my god, what a coincidence. We were born in the same year. Is this called fate?"
Fate?
Mi Xaing 'er did not say anything.
She was a little emotional. The world was so big. They were in different time and space. Thousands of miles away, the two of them actually bumped into each other in a small county. They even fought hand in hand. It was really a case of crossing the same boat after a hundred years of cultivation. No one knew when the rain would fall.
She lowered her head and smiled. For some reason, she felt a little closer. "You live in the county too. Look at your outfit."
"Oh." Tian Xiner did not wait for her to finish. "I used to live in the mountains in Guizhou. I came here with my brother. He works in the county library. Today, I was wandering around. When I came here, I ran into this trouble. Thank you for helping me out."
Mi Xaing 'er waved her hand. "Don't mention it. Everyone will help you in this kind of situation."
"That's not necessarily true."
Tian Xiner glanced at Ni Dahai from the corner of her eye. Although she did not say anything, her meaning was obvious. This person did not help her.
Ni Dahai straightened his neck. "I don't know you. Why should I help you?"
Tian Xiner immediately replied, "Did I say something wrong? Why are you overreacting?"
Oh my god.
This girl is pretty good.
It was as if they were going to fight each other head-on.
Mi Xaing 'er quickly tried to smooth things over. "Tian Xiner, I saw that you know how to use poison."
Tian Xiner raised her head proudly. "You call that poison? To tell you the truth, my father used to be an elder, and my mother is a witch."
She quickly stopped talking. "Anyway, no one can bully me."
Ni Dahai was interested. He put his hands in his pockets. "Hey, do you know how to use voodoo? Love voodoo, hatred voodoo, and all that nonsense? I heard that you guys are very good at those things."
His tone …
Tian Xiner ignored him. She pulled Mi Xaing 'er close. "I don't have any friends in the county. Do you live here too? Let's keep in touch in the future."
Mi Xaing 'er shook her head. "I live in Siyuan Village."
"Oh, that's not very far. I'll visit you tomorrow."
"Sure."
Tian Xiner was a simple-minded person. Perhaps she had lived in the mountains for a long time. Coupled with her tribe's temperament, she found it hard to make a friend. "Do you have time now? I'll show you my house. Since you've helped me so much, I'll treat you to Myriad Flower Tea and fried pao."
Mi Xaing 'er declined. "Forget it. Don't trouble yourself."
"It's no trouble at all."
This …
How could she continue the conversation?
Mi Xaing 'er thought for a while and felt embarrassed to reject her forcefully. Just as she was hesitating, Ni Dahai spoke. "Miss Tian, can I say something? You really can't tell who's better. I don't know what's going on in the mountains, but here, if she says it's no trouble, she means that she's not going. Goodbye. Don't try to reject me."
Tian Xin widened her eyes and opened her mouth, but nothing came out. She looked a little disappointed.
Ni Dahai's words …
Mi Xaing 'er originally wanted to say goodbye, but now she couldn't say goodbye.
She smiled awkwardly. "Tian Xiner, don't listen to him. Is your house far from here?"
Tian Xiner was also a person with a sense of propriety. Although she was simple, she understood immediately. She smiled shyly at Mi Xaing 'er. "It's not far. It's just around the corner. But if you have something to do, you can go another day."
She had learned to be polite like the Han people when in Rome. She didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Mi Xaing 'er didn't want to reject her kindness. She walked over and held her hand affectionately. "If that's the case, I'll go with you. Let's go to your house."
"Okay." Tian Xiner smiled happily. "Since we were born together, don't be shy. I'll call you Xiang 'er."
"You can call me whatever you want."
The two of them held hands and were about to leave.
Ni Dahai looked back at the herbs. "I can't go there either."
Tian Xiner snorted. "I invited a friend to my house. I didn't invite you."
Mi Xaing 'er put the shoulder pole aside. "Da Ni, help me look after this. I'll come back to get it later."
She turned around and really left with Tian Xiner.
Ni Dahai looked at the backs of the two girls and smiled bitterly. "Birds of a feather flock together. We're all ghouls."
He lowered his head and packed the herbs. He asked someone to send them home.
Mi Xaing 'er and Tian Xiner walked and talked. They arrived at Tian Xin's house as soon as they turned the corner. There was nothing strange about it. It was just an ordinary house in a general alley. It was a small one-story house with three to five families sharing a large yard. The children were crying and the wife was calling. It was a bit suspicious at first glance.
She didn't care. She followed Tian Xin into the house. She looked around. There were two rooms. The furnishings in the house were simple. It could even be said that it was shabby. There was basically no furniture. But Tian Xiner didn't seem to care. She pulled her directly to the edge of the kang. "Xiang 'er, I'm good at reading people's faces."
"You know this?"
"Well, not only do I know it, but I also know it. I know it when I look at you."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a sound from the door. Then, a male voice came from outside the house. "Xin 'er, you're at home."
Mi Xaing 'er heard the voice. She couldn't help but feel shocked.
Really.
Really.
Really.
She had never heard such a nice male voice in her two lives.
Not bad.
Yun Jingting's voice was also sexy, but it was always a little indifferent. This person revealed a sense of laziness. Just by listening to the voice, she knew that he was an amiable "beautiful man".
She looked up at the door.
A man walked in slowly. When he saw Mi Xaing 'er's face, he was immediately stunned. "You, why are you here?"
