♂?,,
Xiao Yu was taken aback and couldn't help but think that it was a bad omen. He had easily created a combination of punches, and unintentionally came up with such a terrible name.
"Halt! Don't move or I'll shoot!" A policeman held his gun with both hands, aiming at Xiaoyu, his tone severe.
"Police officer, attack power level 3, medium health, weapon - handgun, attack power +50. Combat assessment - fighting him is no better than smashing a block of tofu to death."
Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately raised his hands, standing still on the spot, not daring to move.
The pistol's attack is too fierce, and I don't have the skill to dodge the bullets. What's more, I clearly know that this matter is just a misunderstanding, and I shouldn't take the blame for the thief.
Two policemen arrived, one in his twenties and the other slightly older. Seeing the militiamen lying all over the ground shouting and screaming, these two policemen couldn't help but secretly gasp in surprise. Could it be that this young man was from Shaolin Temple?
The middle-aged policeman took out handcuffs and cuffed Xiaoyu, asking, "You're quite capable, what's your name? Where do you live? Have you been in trouble before?"
"Officer, my name is Zhang Xiaoyu, I'm a resident of this neighborhood. The fight between me and the security guard was just a misunderstanding, you've caught the wrong person! The real thief is over there!" Xiaoyu turned his head towards the streetlight, but was left stunned, as the thief had vanished into thin air.
The two policemen looked down at the street lamp, and there was nothing. The young policeman couldn't help but say angrily, "Dare to play tricks on the police? Just wait till you get into the police station, it'll be a good show!"
Xiao Yu really has a hard time speaking out, now the thief is gone, and it's an iron-clad fact that he knocked down these joint defense team members. Moreover, the victim's bag is in his hands, and he's caught red-handed. This black pot is probably going to be shouldered by him.
"Officer, the victim has been found!" Two security guards supported a girl who walked over from the front, limping and seemingly with a twisted ankle.
"Perfect timing, come and take a look, is he the one who snatched things?" The police beckoned to the girl to come forward and identify him.
The girl came before Xiaoyu as promised, sizing him up. Xiaoyu also sized her up under the streetlight.
The girl was dressed very simply, a long-sleeved light green shirt with a pair of jeans, medium build, melon-shaped face, long hair, big eyes, somewhat weak and thin, looking pitiful.
The girl's pretty eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the injury on her foot might still be aching. She looked very carefully, and after about thirty seconds, she shook her head and said, "The person who snatched my bag wasn't him. That person was taller and more robust than him, and his clothes were different too. He wore a black T-shirt and shorts."
Xiao Yu felt a sense of relief in his heart, and thought to himself, "Good, good," and couldn't help but secretly admire this girl, who even in the midst of chaos remembered the appearance of that thief.
The police were in a dilemma now, if this Zhang Xiaoyu was not the thief, then where was the real thief?
Suddenly a crisp "bang" came from behind, followed by a man's scream like killing a pig.
"Thief is here!" Old Zhang's voice came from behind.
The middle-aged policeman immediately ran back upon hearing the sound, and soon he brought over a man in his thirties who was also limping and wincing in pain.
Xiao Yu looked and was delighted. From his clothes, it was the thief he had knocked down earlier. The big handkerchief covering his face had fallen off at some point, revealing his face. It was a man with a thick beard, and a clear scar from a knife hung on his cheek, looking very frightening.
"It's him! He's the one who snatched my purse!" The girl also cried out.
"Hey, Old Feng, isn't this the notorious robber 'Scarface' who was wanted by our city a month ago?" The young policeman on duty immediately recognized the thief.
Lao Feng's face was also filled with an uncontrollable smile, and he laughed, "Hehe, Little Wang! Not bad! It's really him! I didn't think we'd catch him!"
"Huh, Old Feng, who's that behind you?" Little Wang saw an old man following behind Old Feng, carrying a wooden stick on his shoulder, with an air of triumph, just like the victorious Sun Dasheng, it was actually Old Zhang.
Old Feng laughed and said, "Thanks to this old comrade, we've caught 'Scarface'!"
Xiao Yu was confused. Wasn't Old Zhang drunk and lying on the bench? How could he now be catching thieves with such energy?
Old Feng took out the key and opened the handcuffs on Xiao Yu's hands, saying, "Young man, sorry about that. Your godfather just told me what happened earlier. The spirit of righteousness is great, but next time pay attention to your methods. Your kung fu skills are impressive, but you can't hit people who shouldn't be hit."
Xiao Yu's face suddenly turned red, "Officer, I said it was a misunderstanding earlier. They probably saw me holding the leather bag and thought I was the thief, so we ended up fighting."
Those militiamen also got up at this time, Xiaoyu showed mercy and did not attack the vital parts, so these people lay on the ground for a while and were not seriously injured.
The police on the scene took notes from the girl and Xiao Yu, stuffed "Scarface" into a police car, and sped away.
The members of the joint defense team looked at each other, and then went their separate ways. The injuries they sustained were not serious, and applying some medicinal plaster would be enough to heal them. However, the way these people looked at Xiaoyu was not kind. Anyone who had been beaten up wouldn't be in a good mood.
Xiao Yu and Old Zhang accompanied by smiles, saw off the joint defense team members, only then did they let out a sigh of relief, and also walked towards their own home.
"Hey, wait a minute!" A clear and crisp voice of a girl came from behind.
Xiao Yu turned around and saw that it was the girl, who hobbled over with a white leather bag slung over her shoulder.
"Are you okay?" Little Yu asked with concern as he saw her struggling to walk.
The girl's heart felt a warmth, thinking that this boy was quite considerate.
She shook her head, looking a bit embarrassed, and said, "I sprained my foot, it's okay, I just need to apply some ice when I get home. What I wanted to say is thank you for your help. This month, my sister and I had our rent and living expenses stolen by bad people."
The girl said with a lingering fear, patting her chest.
Old Zhang chimed in from the side, "Little girl, don't carry so much money in your bag from now on, it's easy to get into trouble at night."
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, it was my sister who asked me to take the detour to the bank after self-study tonight. The rent is due tomorrow, so it's a bit urgent."
Xiao Yu saw the girl walking with difficulty and said to her, "Where do you live? I'll send you back."
The girl originally wanted to refuse, but thinking again, she was inconvenient to walk, and she had money on her body. What if she met a bad person on the road? She agreed with a red face.
The girl gave out her home address, unexpectedly it was the same building as Old Zhang's. The girl lived on the third floor and Old Zhang lived on the fourth floor, just upstairs and downstairs from each other, what a coincidence!
Xiao Yu supported the girl with a hurt foot with one hand and held Old Zhang, who was still slightly drunk, with the other. The three of them walked home together.
Along the way, a few people started chatting. The girl was a Shanghai native whose parents were sent to Xinjiang Province as educated youth. According to national policy, when she and her sister were in third grade, they obtained their Shanghai hukou and returned to Shanghai for school.
Due to the cramped living conditions of their relatives' homes, they were unable to accommodate her sisters, so the two had to rent a one-bedroom apartment outside and rely on each other for survival.
Her sister is three years older than her. After graduating from high school, considering that her mother had been laid off for many years, her father's salary was not high, and she was old, it was really hard to support the lives of two people, so she didn't take the college entrance exam, but found a job as a salesperson in a company to support this family.
Xiaoyu's heart was filled with gloom. As the saying goes, every family has its own unsolvable problems. This girl's situation is worthy of sympathy, and her sister is even more worthy of respect.
Xiao Yu walked the girl all the way to her front door, and she told Xiao Yu that her name was Xia Xian, a high school student in her third year at No. 55 Middle School, who would be taking the university entrance exams next year.
Wu Shi Wu Middle School is a school that Xiao Yu has heard of, located in the southern part of the residential area, not far from here. Old Zhang had let him choose between Hong Guang and Wu Shi Wu Middle Schools, and Xiao Yu chose Hong Guang.
Xiao Yu also told Xia Xiao Yan her name.
Xia Xiaoxian read Xiaoyu's name softly twice and said with excitement, "Xiaoyu, Xiaoxian, the names sound like a pair!"
After she finished speaking, she knew she had misspoken and her face turned red with embarrassment.
After sending Xiaoxian away, the father and son returned home. Old Zhang looked at Xiao Yu with a smile, Xiao Yu felt strange and asked: "Dad, what are you smiling about?"
Old Zhang chuckled and said, "Son, I think this little girl is not bad. She's quite gentle, dresses plainly, and looks pretty good. Take some time to develop things with her, maybe something will come of it."
Xiao Yu's face turned red, and he quickly changed the subject, "Dad, I think you've had too much to drink today, you're talking nonsense. But I just can't figure it out, how did you manage to run off and catch a thief when you were so drunk?"
As soon as this matter was brought up, Old Zhang's spirit came back to life, and he immediately began to speak with flying spittle. It turned out that from the time Little Yu had a fight with that thug, Old Zhang's wine had sobered up by half. The spring knife in the thug's hand made Old Zhang's heart tremble with fear, worried that his son would get into trouble. Later, seeing his son display great divine power and knock down the thug and the joint defense team members one after another, he finally put his mind at ease.
When the police suddenly appeared, Old Zhang saw that the thief was sneaking away on the ground not far away, and Old Zhang got anxious, thinking that he couldn't escape.
He picked up a wooden stick that had fallen from the ground by a member of the militia, then quietly walked to the front under the cover of a long bench and hid in the bushes waiting for the thief to approach.
At this time, the police were busy checking the injuries of the joint defense team members and putting handcuffs on Xiaoyu, and did not notice what was happening here.
When the thief crept into the darkness, feeling no danger, he stood up and was about to run when Old Zhang's wooden stick swept over with a thud. This time, fueled by alcohol, the force was incredibly great. The thief had no defense and was struck on the shinbone, fracturing his leg on the spot.
Xiao Yu listened and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, praising Old Zhang for being more vigorous with age, his heroic spirit undiminished.
Old Zhang was extremely pleased, humming a little tune as he went to take a bath. Xiao Yu secretly wiped away cold sweat, this time it was easy to divert the topic, but this old man, despite never having been married, was particularly interested in such things.
Lying in bed, Xiao Yu couldn't fall asleep. In his mind was Xiaoxian's shadow, and he seemed to still hear her words: "Xiao Yu, Xiaoxian, the names sound like a pair!"
"Hint: Favorability towards Xia Xiaojuan increased by 10."
