The moment the wooden stick was swung at him, Sheng An Ning felt something strange and instinctively leaned forward and rolled over.

The wooden stick as thick as an egg hit the ground with a dull sound.

The man then swung the wooden stick and hit Sheng An Ning viciously.

This time Sheng An Ning had no way to dodge. If she dodged, the stick would hit the old lady. The old lady was so old, how could she withstand the beating?

Sheng An Ning held her head with both hands, closed her eyes and prepared to face the blow.

I heard a bang, the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, but I didn't feel the expected pain.

Sheng An Ning put down her arms hesitantly, and saw Zhou Shixun coming up to her at some point. He stepped on the gangster, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly got up.

The old lady was obviously frightened and had injured her leg. She sat up holding her leg, groaning and cursing.

Sheng An Ning didn't care about anything else and went to check the injuries on the old lady's body: "Auntie, where does it hurt? Does your back and body hurt?"

The old lady pointed at her ankle and said, "It's okay, it's just my foot that's injured. These damn things hurt me." After saying that, she felt sorry for the hard-earned money she earned from setting up the stall all day and wiped away her tears.

When Zhou Shixun and Luo Caixia came out of the hospital, they saw Sheng An Ning running towards the injured woman, and then they saw someone approaching quietly with a wooden stick.

I didn't dare to warn him loudly for fear of angering the criminal. My heart was in my throat at that moment and I ran all the way over. Fortunately, I caught up with him.

Bending down and picking up the gangster, a man in his twenties said, "What do you want to do?"

The gangster didn't expect the man who suddenly appeared to be so strong. He kicked him so hard that his chest hurt and he felt like his ribs were broken. He was also frightened by Zhou Shixun's momentum and trembled: "I just want... I just want to get some money."

Zhou Shixun grabbed his collar, clearly not someone he could fool so easily: "Why do you have to rob someone from behind? Tell me!"

The criminal's legs went limp: "No... I just wanted to knock her out because she's so pretty..."

Luo Caixia also followed. After hearing what the criminal said, she exclaimed, "Ah Xun, the county has been in turmoil recently. There are robberies and a good girl is missing..."

The criminal howled: "It's not me, it's my first time..."

Zhou Shixun thought for a moment and looked at Luo Caixia: "Go and call the security department of the hospital and send this man to the police station."

Luo Caixia nodded and ran to the hospital to call for help.

Zhou Shixun broke the gangster's two arms in two moves and threw them on the ground so that he couldn't move.

Sheng An Ning touched the old lady's ankle to make sure that there were no broken bones. Looking at Zhou Shixun's neat movements, she was still frightened: "Thank goodness you came in time, otherwise I would have been miserable tonight."

If she were knocked unconscious, I don’t know where in the mountains she would be sold to be a wife.

It’s scary to think about.

Suddenly thinking of Zhou Shixun's big moves just now, he stood up quickly and asked, "Are you okay with your wound?"

Zhou Shixun felt a warm sensation in his abdomen and shook his head without telling the truth: "It's okay, I'm paying attention."

Sheng An Ning was worried: "Wait a moment and let me take a look."

Luo Caixia quickly brought people from the hospital's security department over. Zhou Shixun went over and pinned the gangster's arm down again, and asked the security people to send him to the police station.

After the people left, Luo Caixia realized that she knew the woman sitting on the ground. She squatted over in surprise and asked, "Auntie Wu? Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

All the money that Aunt Wu earned from selling noodles today was taken away. If she went to the hospital again, she would have to spend money again. She quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, the girl just said that there was no bone injury. I will just apply some medicinal wine when I go back."

Sheng Anning reminded: "Auntie, you can't use medicated wine on your injury within 72 hours. You need cold compress. Go back and wrap a towel with snow and apply it to the swollen area."

Then he asked Zhou Shixun: "Don't we have to go to the police station to testify?"

Zhou Shixun shook his head: "I'll take you back to the guesthouse, and then I'll go over there."

Sheng An Ning was still thinking about Zhou Shixun's wound: "Let's go together, your wound must have healed."

No matter how powerful Zhou Shixun is, he is still a human being of flesh and blood. The action just now would definitely involve the wound on his abdomen.

As the two of them were talking in a low voice, Luo Caixia helped Aunt Wu up and said, "Axun, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll just take Aunt Wu back."

Zhou Shixun frowned and hesitated for a moment, and Sheng Anning immediately understood what he meant. It was already dark now, and the street lights on the road were dim, and there were no street lights in many places.

This is the west side of the county town, and she just heard from the old lady that Luo Caixia's tailor shop is located in the east side of the county town.

Two things had just happened in a row, so how could Zhou Shixun feel comfortable letting a girl and an old lady go back like this?

He quickly said, "Let us take you there. We are worried about you two leaving. What if the criminal has accomplices?"

Zhou Shixun looked at Sheng An Ning with some gratitude. He was indeed worried that Luo Caixia and the others would not be safe on their way back, but he couldn't just abandon Sheng An Ning.

Finally, the old lady sat on the cart, Zhou Shixun pushed the cart, and Luo Caixia supported her from the side.

Sheng An Ning felt too tired, so she followed Zhou Shixun with her hands behind her back, looking at Luo Caixia and then at Zhou Shixun from time to time, thinking to herself that what happened tonight was quite a coincidence.

The road near the hospital is not very remote, so how could two such terrible incidents happen in succession?

He took two quick steps and came to Luo Caixia's side: "Sister Caixia, is the county town very chaotic recently?"

Before Luo Caixia could speak, Aunt Wu in the car sighed and said, "That's right. Two days ago, the girl from the Wang family on the street next to us, who is only 18 years old this year and works as a scorekeeper in the brick and tile factory, got off work and got home just after dark every day. But she didn't come home after get off work two days ago. Her family searched like crazy but couldn't find her."

Luo Caixia continued gently, "The factory said that he got off work on time that day, but he just disappeared. We haven't found him yet, and we called the police but they still can't find him."

"Yes, this is someone we know. We also heard that other girls have gone missing, but so far, no one has found her alive or dead."

Sheng Anning was surprised: "Are you all so brave?"

Shouldn't people of this era be honest? After all, they had just experienced such a special era, so how could they dare to break the law so blatantly?

We chatted all the way to the east of the city. Luo Caixia's tailor shop was on the roadside. There was a wooden board hanging on the door with red calligraphy on it: Caixia Tailor Shop.

Aunt Wu asked Zhou Shixun to just drop her off on the side of the road: "It's okay, I'll just park the car outside Caixia's door and I'll walk back slowly. You guys must be tired along the way, so go back and rest."

The few people were unable to persuade the old woman, and could only watch her limp into the alley.

Luo Caixia looked at her shop again. The streetlights illuminated the signboard very clearly. She smiled and said, "Ah Xun, you taught me how to write the words on this signboard. Do you think I have made any progress?"
