On a scorching summer afternoon, the intense sunlight poured down relentlessly, its rays seemingly carrying boundless heat, determined to ignite everything in the world.
Sunlight filters through layers of lush, verdant leaves, as if meticulously crafted by invisible yet incredibly skillful hands, scattering golden dappled patterns across the street, creating a natural and exquisite painting of light and shadow.
A gentle breeze, like a nimble sprite, softly caressed the leaves, making them rustle as if in a low melody. The dappled sunlight swayed gracefully, adding a touch of lively energy and comfort to the otherwise sweltering afternoon.
Xia Wan wore a simple and refreshing white dress. The hem of the dress was like a pair of delicate wings, swaying gently with her steps, like a lily blooming on a summer street, pure and beautiful.
She strolled leisurely down the street, fully enjoying this rare moment of leisure. The shops lining the street were lined up one after another, their shelves overflowing with a dazzling array of goods, creating a bustling and vibrant atmosphere, a lively symphony of everyday life.
There were food stalls with a rich aroma, and the stall owners were enthusiastically shouting, "Freshly made jianbing guozi! So fragrant and crispy!"
The aroma, like an invisible hand, drew passersby to stop and salivate. Some couldn't resist indulging in the delicious food on the spot, exclaiming with satisfaction, "This tastes so authentic!"
There was a general store filled with exquisite jewelry. The colorful trinkets shimmered under the gentle sunlight, attracting the eyes of young girls. They wandered among them, carefully selecting items, and exclaiming with delight, "Wow, this hair clip is so pretty!"
There were also music stores playing melodious tunes. The soothing melodies flowed like a babbling brook through the air, adding an artistic touch to the bustling street and making even hurried passersby slow down and immerse themselves in the beautiful music.
The crowds thronged, shoulder to shoulder, with shouts of vendors, laughter, and car horns mingling together to create a noisy symphony of the city.
Suddenly, the sound of fierce fighting came from not far away, instantly shattering the peace and tranquility.
The cacophony, interspersed with the muffled thuds of fists and kicks and the shouts of people, seemed particularly jarring, like a jarring noise suddenly breaking into a beautiful melody.
Xia Wan instantly perked up, a hint of excitement and curiosity flashing in her previously languid eyes, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
She has always had an adventurous spirit and a strong desire to explore such unexpected situations.
In her view, life is like an unknown adventure, and every unexpected event is a new challenge, and she is always eager to meet these challenges.
Without hesitation, she followed the sound quickly and firmly, her heart filled with anticipation for the unknown, as if she were about to embark on a thrilling adventure, radiating an aura of eager anticipation.
Turning a corner, she witnessed a shocking scene: several muscular men were attacking a man in military uniform.
The man in military uniform stood tall and straight like a pine tree, proudly standing amidst the siege. Even in the face of adversity, he remained fearless, his eyes revealing determination and courage, like a majestic mountain peak, unshakable.
His every movement was full of power as he tried to withstand the enemy's attack, but he was clearly already exhausted.
His forehead was covered in sweat, large beads of which slid down his cheeks and glistened in the sunlight. There were also several abrasions on his body, and blood seeped through his tattered military uniform, which looked particularly glaring in the sunlight and pierced Xia Wan's heart.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Wan's sense of justice surged into her heart like a raging fire, unstoppable. She immediately rushed forward, her figure like a black lightning bolt, carrying an indomitable spirit, swiftly entering the heart of the battle.
Her appearance startled the fighting group. They clearly hadn't expected someone to suddenly appear and disrupt their battle. Their movements came to an abrupt halt, and their eyes all turned to Xia Wan, filled with surprise and confusion, as if they were scrutinizing an alien who had suddenly appeared.
Moreover, judging from Xia Wan's demeanor, her steps were steady, her eyes were firm, and her combat strength seemed to be quite high, which surprised them even more.
The group of soldiers besieging the soldiers immediately diverted some of their forces to counterattack Xia Wan.
The leading man snorted coldly, his voice full of disdain and provocation, like the roar of an arrogant beast. He charged forward first, throwing a fierce straight punch. The wind from the punch howled, carrying a fierce force, and the air seemed to echo with the whistling of the punch.
Xia Wan moved nimbly, like a nimble deer, and swiftly dodged to the side, while simultaneously throwing a punch straight at her opponent's abdomen.
The man winced in pain, letting out a muffled groan. His body arched like a shrimp as he took a few steps back, a look of surprise on his face. He clearly hadn't expected this seemingly frail girl to have such skill, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
But these people were clearly specially trained, and their teamwork was so seamless that they were like a tightly coordinated machine, each move deadly.
They communicated with one another, understanding each other with a glance or a gesture, forming a tight encirclement that relentlessly closed in on Xia Wan and Zhao Qian, like a pack of wolves hunting, pressing closer and closer.
Xia Wan and Zhao Qian fought side by side, back to back, resisting the enemy's attack. Their backs were tightly intertwined, conveying each other's strength and trust.
Xia Wan could sense how formidable her opponent was; every attack and defense required her to be fully focused, and the slightest carelessness could result in injury, with danger lurking everywhere.
