In this session of the Metaphysics Grand Competition, several senior brothers from the Xingyi Sect were injured due to previous accidents, leaving only one healthy Ju Jingbai.
The surrounding...
It was still very hot in the afternoon at the end of October.
The No. 13 bus was carrying a lot of people and slowly heading to the next stop. The occasional bumps made the people on the bus look like squeezed cans, crowded together and leaning in one direction.
Xu Lu was squeezed at the back of the car and struggled a little, which made the feeling of the hand rubbing on her buttocks even more distinct. She had felt something was wrong for a long time. How could someone's hand touch her again and again by such a coincidence?
Xu Lu looked back and couldn't find anyone, so she had to hold the backpack strap tightly in her hand and stretch it to just cover her hips. She waited and got off when she arrived at the next stop.
The disgusting gaze behind me seemed to be coming from all directions.
Suddenly, Xu Lu was shocked. The pervert actually touched her thigh. Xu Lu gritted her teeth and turned around, twisting her body to change places, but there were too many people. She kept twisting and turning, and people around her came to look at her. Someone next to her muttered with disgust, "What are you doing?"
She immediately slowed down her movements, but she didn't expect that the person didn't squeeze down, and the pervert touched her again.
"Uncle, can you pull over to the side of the road?"
Before Xu Lu could scream, a clear voice suddenly rang out, and at the same time, a male scream as rough as a duck's voice was heard.
Xu Lu noticed something and quickly looked back.
"Ah, who are you? Why are you suddenly hitting people? Stop it, do you hear me? Stop it." A boy with thick lips was hunching his back and growling in pain because a girl twisted his wrist. The grunting sound was really unpleasant, like the quacking of a drake.
"It's okay!" Ju Jingbai said with a smile.
Xu Lu and the girl in front of her looked at each other and immediately understood everything.
"Thank you, thank you!" Xu Lu said quickly. The girl in front of her was obviously not as tall as her, but she made her feel very reassured. The sudden relaxation made her eyes red and she almost cried.
The narrow space was suddenly filled with whispers from the people around. Some people even saw what the duck-voiced man did and quietly explained it to their companions.
——The next stop is Seongnan University. Passengers getting off please go to the back door in time.
The bus announcement sounded, and the driver was afraid of something happening, so he stopped not far from the bus stop. As soon as the bus stopped at the station, Ju Jingbai grabbed the wretched man's wrist with one hand, twisted it, and kicked the wretched man's butt, causing the wretched man to stagger.
The people around immediately stepped back and squeezed out a passage that was big enough for one person to pass through.
"Good." I don't know who started the applause. The warm applause instantly drowned out the well-intentioned whispers and turned into faint stars that flew into Ju Jingbai's arms.
Ju Jingbai watched with delight as the merit entered his body, and got off the car with a hoarse voice.
Seeing this, Xu Lu also hurriedly got off the bus.
"Who can I rely on?" Ju Jingbai jumped down from the bus with a hoarse voice, sat up, and questioned him with a grim face. You know, the girl in front of him was shorter than 1.6 meters, and her white arms and legs didn't look like she had half the strength of him. Who knew that he had tried his best to bend his wrist several times, but he couldn't get his wrist out of the girl's hand.
"I didn't take advantage of you, why are you pretending to be nice?" The duck-voiced man looked around. This was the snack street in the university town. There were many people on the sidewalks on both sides, so both sides were avenues for escape. "Looking at your plain appearance, I don't even have the interest to take advantage of you!"
Ju Jingbai had a pure appearance, with porcelain-colored cheeks and soft eyebrows. She was wearing a high ponytail, and her big eyes rolled around with anger. "I didn't expect you to be blind at such a young age?!" She sneered, and with her hoarse voice, she moved her jaw left and right, saying, "You're not completely blind, and you still know how to take advantage of beautiful women."
His chin was pinched so hard that it hurt, and he wanted to curse with a hoarse voice. However, when he saw the woman in front of him twisting her foot that was stepping on his vitals, he suddenly became nervous and opened his mouth but didn't dare to curse.
"If you didn't have this thing, would you not bother to bother girls anymore?"
Ju Jingbai retracted his foot, his brows and eyes cold.
The man with the duck voice looked at the ground and swallowed, a cold sweat falling down. What did he see? There was a shallow crack in the floor tiles in front of his vitals, and then the floor tiles began to crack inch by inch along the crack. If someone stepped on his vitals with such force, wouldn't he die here?
"What do you want to do?" The duck-voiced man lowered his voice.
"Apologize, do as I say, apologize." Ju Jingbai said.
"Okay, okay, I apologize." The boy with the duck voice swallowed his saliva again and looked directly at Xu Lu under Ju Jingbai's pressure, repeating Ju Jingbai's words, "I'm sorry, what happened just now was entirely my fault. I am willing to give you my luck for the next year as compensation. I sincerely ask you to accept my apology."
After the drooping voice finished speaking, Ju Jingbai asked Xu Lu, "Is this okay? Or do you want to go to the police station to resolve it?" Xu Lu was watching from a distance. When the drooping voice heard that they were going to the police station, it suddenly struggled violently. Biting her lip, she said softly, "No need. Going to the police station will at most result in criticism and education. It's too much trouble. I accept the apology."
Ju Jingbai knew the girl would choose this, so the apology clause was established. She let go of her hoarse voice, too lazy to argue any further: "Okay, remember your apology just now, let's go."
Putting aside the experience of choking for a long time when drinking water after having a hoarse voice, when he heard Ju Jingbai's words, he took a big step back using his hands and feet, staggered to his feet, and rushed out like a 100-meter sprint.
Seeing this, Ju Jingbai couldn't help but sneered: "What the hell."
"Thank you for saving me. My name is Xu Lu. What's yours?" As soon as the duck voice faded, Xu Lu ran to Ju Jingbai and said with courage, "I'll treat you to a meal as a thank you. Is that okay?"
"Well, I think you are not very lucky today. It will be safer to go home later." Ju Jingbai said happily as he watched the merit star the size of his little fingertip fall into the merit brick wall he built.
Xu Lu was stunned for a moment, but she just thought Ju Jingbai's words were a little strange, and didn't take it to heart, so she asked: "Do you have any good places to recommend?"
"I heard from people in my dormitory that there is a skewers place on this street called Hi Hi BBQ. It's cheap and delicious. Let's go there!" said Ju Jingbai.
Xu Lu nodded. She knew Hi Hi BBQ was famously affordable, but it was just too cheap. Wouldn't it be a bit cheap to treat her benefactor to this? After sitting there from four in the afternoon to nine at night, Xu Lu silently retracted her previous assessment. The remaining money in her wallet was just enough to afford this small barbecue stall.
"Jing Bai, are you full? Do you want to order a few more skewers of bread?"
"No, it's time. You can take a taxi home. Thank you for treating me to dinner."
After paying the bill, Xu Lu stood at the door of Hi Hi BBQ, watching Ju Jingbai leave briskly, and couldn't help laughing. She was really grateful to this girl. If it weren't for her, she would have felt so nauseous that she couldn't eat today. In the next few days, every time she thought about what happened today, she would be angry.
Xu Lu smiled and walked to the side of the road to hail a taxi.
"Where are we going?" the taxi driver, a plain-looking middle-aged woman, asked as he rolled down the window. Xu Lu relaxed, got into the back seat, and said, "To Jinhua Community."
"Jinhua Community, little girl, did you just get off work?" the driver said as he started the car.
"No, I just treated someone to dinner." Xu Lu said casually.
"Oh, then you probably don't know. Be careful when you enter the community. At noon, a thief came to your place to steal something, but ended up stabbing the owner to death." The driver said kindly, "After we called the police, they all came and made a fuss until the evening before they caught the thief. It was really scary."
"A thief? No way." Xu Lu's heart moved, "Sister, which house did the thief steal from?"
"I heard from our husband that he was from Building 13. He took advantage of the hot summer and noon when no one was in the community to steal things. Alas, the person who was stabbed to death was also unlucky. The neighbors saw him when they went out in the afternoon and called the police immediately. Fortunately, the thief stayed in the community. As they say, the most dangerous places are often the safest, so he was caught by the police." The driver looked at Xu Lu, pursed her lips and warned, "Little girl, if you live alone, you must be careful. Make sure to lock the door when you sleep. In today's society, there are really all kinds of people. Thieves don't even wait until night to steal things."
"Okay, I'll definitely pay attention to that. Thank you."
As Xu Lu listened to the driver's voice, her heart pounded and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Building 13, isn't that the building number where she rented the room? If Ju Jingbai didn't accept her invitation, she would definitely not be in the mood to go out for a walk. If she went home directly, she might run into that thief. If the two of them met, who knows what would happen to her.
Xu Lu suddenly clearly remembered what Ju Jingbai said: It is safer to go home later.
She originally thought that the words were strange, but now thinking about it, Xu Lu was both scared and relieved. She instantly felt goose bumps on her arms. She must have met an extraordinary master today.
At this time, the master Xu Lu mentioned was sending a voice message quickly in the dormitory group chat. As he ran back to the dormitory, he said, "Tiantian, don't be silent. There is no one on the school path. It's too scary."
"Xiaobai, be more scientific and chant with me about prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony..."
Ju Jingbai's dormitory building was the farthest from the school gate, and since the school was so large, she took a side road and ran for a long time before she had enough time to leave. She was panting heavily, and couldn't help but take a breath before sending another voice message: "Even if you didn't say it, I would have silently recited it. Ha, I'm so tired from running. If only I had listened to your advice and ridden your bike out, I'd miss it so much now."
Just as Ju Jingbai finished speaking, a bicycle fell straight down on the road ahead. The bicycle was brand new, without any locks or flat tires, as if it suddenly appeared from the shadows.
Ju Jingbai: "..." Bah, bah, bah, what bicycle do you want? ?
A gentle breeze blew from the sky, and the quiet scene was eerie.
"Ahhh! Oh my god!" Ju Jingbai screamed as she rushed back to the dormitory building. That's why she hated going out at night. What if she got scared and became sick? It was so annoying!
On the small path in the campus, a blue-gray kid walked out from the shadows and tilted his head.
He had heard from his ghost brother a long time ago that there was a girl with halos all over her body in dormitory No. 3. She was as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, and he wanted to give her any good things he could get.
This was the first time she saw it, and it seemed to scare the little fairy.
The kid picked up his bicycle. It was his most beautiful bike. He rode it dejectedly, circling the dormitory building. He wondered if he should get a prettier one to apologize next time.
When Ju Jingbai strode back to the dormitory, his roommate He Sishui had just returned. She was taking off her thick coat, and Ju Jingbai pushed the door open.
However, in October, He Sishui had already put on a thick coat. She spoke softly and quietly, coughing twice heartbreakingly: "Cough... cough cough cough... Xiaobai, where have you been? Don't you usually stay in the dormitory at night? Why are you back later than me?"
"Ha, someone treated me to a meal, and I accidentally ended up eating here now." Ju Jingbai finally managed to erase the previous scene from his mind. He focused his eyes on the bright room and calmed down before saying, "When I got back to the dormitory, I kept feeling like there was someone behind me. It scared me to death."
"You're so timid." He Sishui smiled, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and took out a few strings of beads from her pocket. "Oh, right, I got some amulets for you at the temple this afternoon. Xiaobai has been unlucky these past few days, so I also bought you some lucky beads. These lucky beads are really beautiful. Give one to each of you."
"Let me take a look, but didn't you go to the doctor this afternoon?" Ni Tiantian ran over with French fries in her mouth.
When Ju Jingbai took the lucky beads, she took the opportunity to take a look at He Sishui. The next second, she frowned fiercely. He Sishui had always been very thin, and the sickly look she had from childhood made her whole face pale.
However, a person's fortune will never change too drastically. For example, if you can live to be between 60 and 90 years old, it is absolutely impossible for you to die at the age of 58.
He Sishui's lifespan was still within the normal range in the morning.
Ju Jingbai took the lucky beads, placed his fingers at his side on his thumb and tapped them continuously.
In just one day, his eyes became dull and the blood color drained away from his face, and he looked like he was suffering from a strange disease and was about to die.
