Duofu was accompanied by seven people: eight or nine-year-old Erdan, six-year-old Huazi, five-year-old Gou Dan, two-year-old Duolu and Duoshou, and Duoxi who even walked on tiptoe.
Tie Dan was accompanied by three teenagers around eleven or twelve years old and two boys around seven or eight years old, making a total of six people.
Although Duofu's side had more people than Tiedan's side, the age difference was too obvious.
Duofu knew in his heart that his side had no chance of winning against Tiedan's side, and he was not prepared to fight for this honor. He planned to find an opportunity to bring his younger brothers home safely first, and then ask Yu Rujia or Gao Shujing to handle this matter.
Duofu pulled Erdan, who was rising in anger, and said, "Brother Erdan, let's go back first."
Tie Dan knew that Duo Fu was afraid of them, so he immediately pressed his advantage and said, "Trying to run away? Not so easy. Go and get ten more, no, twenty, no, bring us even more cakes to eat, and I'll let you go."
Duofu's big eyes darted around, and he readily replied, "I'll go home and get it for you right away."
A big boy standing next to Tie Dan said, "You are allowed to go back and get it. Your younger brother has to stay here and wait for you to come back with the cake to exchange for it. Also, don't tell any adults, or we'll beat you every time we see you in the future."
Tie Dan: "Yes, bring the cakes over in exchange, or I'll beat you every time I see you."
Erdan was furious. Every time he found some friends, Tiedan and his men would beat him up. Was Duofu and the others going to leave him too?
The more Erdan thought about it, the angrier he became. He said, "If you want to leave, we'll leave together; if you want to stay, we'll stay together. If you want to eat pancakes, you have to let us leave."
Duofu was also worried about leaving his younger brother here as a hostage, so he did not refute Erdan's words.
Tie Dan: "If you don't obey, I'll beat you until you do."
A group of children immediately started fighting. Although the four Duofu brothers had taken the body-strengthening pills and were several times stronger than their peers, and there were more of them than Tiedan's group, they were much younger than the others and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
The best-case scenario was that Duolu defeated a six- or seven-year-old child, while the other friends, including Duofu and Erdan, mostly got beaten up.
When Da Wa returned after delivering the wild scallion pancakes, he saw a one-sided battle. Without saying a word, he joined the fray and picked on a boy who was about eleven or twelve years old.
Da Wa and Er Dan grew up together. Da Wa had participated in every fight between Er Dan and Tie Dan, so he was very experienced in fighting. Even if he couldn't beat this half-grown boy, he could still keep him occupied.
With the addition of the eldest brother, the situation improved somewhat. Duoshou took the opportunity to help Duofu deal with a boy who was about eleven or twelve years old. The two brothers successfully held the boy back.
Although Duoxi kept crying with his mouth open, he could see that his brother was fighting with someone, so the little guy naturally wouldn't ignore it and tiptoed over to help Duolu.
Duolu was several times stronger than his peers, and he beat the six or seven-year-old boy until he howled. When Duoxi came to help him, he even had time to shout, "Duoxi, stand back!"
Duoxi cried loudly, but ignored Duolu's words and continued to raise her fist to help Duolu.
Because of Duoxi's presence, Duolu's punches weren't as swift, and he was more likely to get hit than before Duoxi came over.
To get Duoxi out of the way, Duolu glanced at the surrounding battle situation. His eldest brother and younger brother were gaining the upper hand, and Da Wa was doing well as well. Hua Zi, Gou Dan, and Er Dan were in the most unfavorable situation.
Duolu's animal instincts kicked in: "Duoxi, go help Brother Huazi and the others."
Although Duoxi was young, it didn't mean he didn't understand anything. Before he arrived, his second brother had beaten the other person so badly that he could only cry. After he arrived, his second brother was beaten several times and realized that he had done more harm than good.
Upon hearing Duolu's words, Duoxi immediately stepped out to help Huazi and Gou Dan fight against a boy who was about eleven or twelve years old.
The reason Duolu called Duoxi over was because Huazi and Gou Dan working together had a good chance of holding off the people, allowing Duoxi to go over and punch them.
After Duoxi arrived, things went as smoothly as Duolu had expected. Although Duoxi was only a little over a year old, his strength was no less than that of a five or six-year-old child. When he was angry, his punches really hurt.
At least that's what their opponent thought. He wanted to kick Duoxi out, but Hua Zi and Gou Dan found an opportunity to firmly restrain his hands and feet. All Duoxi had to do was hit people.
On the other side, eight or nine-year-old Erdan was struggling against Tiedan and the remaining six or seven-year-old boy.
After fighting for a while, he realized that he couldn't beat Tie Dan and Tie Dan together by himself, so he simply ignored the child and let him beat him. Er Dan started to focus on beating Tie Dan, as if he wanted to unleash all his old and new grudges at this moment.
Six-year-old Tie Dan was no match for Er Dan's furious punches, and he cried out in pain as he was beaten.
This was the first time Tie Dan had been beaten so badly since he appeared in the Shangfen Brigade. Unable to bear the pain, he pushed Er Dan away with all his might, got up from the ground, and cried as he went home to complain to his grandmother.
With Tie Dan gone, Er Dan had a free moment and turned around to beat up the boy who had hit him earlier.
Duofu and his men got more and more into the fight, while Tiedan's henchmen, seeing that the person they were protecting had left, had no intention of continuing the fight. After taking a few punches, they left after uttering a few harsh words.
Having successfully driven the people away, Duofu and the others sat down on the ground to rest, looking quite refreshed.
Erdan started laughing heartily, but then turned into crying.
Duofu and the others didn't know what was going on. Even Duoxi, who had been crying pitifully, stopped crying and looked at Erdan with a blank expression.
Duofu realized what was happening and asked, "Brother Erdan, did they hurt you? Why don't we go find my aunt? She's a doctor, and she can take a look at you and make you feel better."
If Yu Rujia were here, she would definitely say that although her medical skills are good, they are not so great that she can relieve pain with just one look.
After Da Wa joined the battle, their side gained a slight advantage, and several of them were beaten black and blue, with many injuries on their bodies.
When kids fight, it's usually just minor physical injuries, which are bearable. Why is Erdan crying like this? Could it be that he was hit in a really painful spot?
Not getting a reply from Erdan, Duofu got up from the ground and tried to pull him up: "Brother Erdan, come with me to find my aunt and let her see where you are hurt."
Besides worrying about Erdan, Duofu was also concerned about the injuries on his three younger brothers.
This was the first time they had ever been in a fight. Duolu and the others had bruises and swelling on their faces, which made Duofu feel extremely guilty. If he had been stronger, his younger brothers wouldn't have been bullied like this.
Erdan grabbed Duofu's hand and didn't get up. He wiped away his tears with his other hand and said, "I'm not in pain. This is the first time I've hit Tiedan back. I'm so happy."
