Chapter 18 New Neighbors
Ye Xiaojie has been shorter than her peers since she was young, and she is delicate and cute.
When she was a child, many male classmates liked her and wanted to play with her.
The child was ignorant and didn't know how to attract the attention of a girl he liked, so he often pulled Ye Xiaojie's hair or put caterpillars on her desk to scare her.
Ye Xiaojie's parents learned from her teacher that she was being bullied in kindergarten, so they enrolled her in Sanda class so that she could protect herself.
Ye Xiaojie was a little reluctant at first, but as time went on, she became more and more fond of martial arts. She had learned all the martial arts in Xia country, and also dabbled in foreign boxing, but she only learned the basics, and her best skill was Sanda.
Perhaps due to her long-term martial arts practice, Ye Xiaojie has a relatively calm personality.
She did not teach Xia Xiaoman Sanda immediately, but had a sparring session with Xia Xiaoman first.
After fighting once, she roughly knew how to teach Xia Xiaoman, "Your strength is your great strength and stable lower body. Your weaknesses are your lack of practical experience, low flexibility, and your moves are disorganized."
"It's impossible to improve your flexibility all at once, but I can teach you how to play a certain position."
"There are 720 acupoints on the human body. Hitting the Zhangmen acupoint under the ribs will make people lose strength instantly and feel pain when breathing. Hitting the Taiyang acupoint will make people dizzy and fall into a coma. Hitting the Ermen acupoint will also make people dizzy and faint..."
Ye Xiaojie carefully taught Xia Xiaoman to recognize the acupoints of the human body, which acupoints can make people unconscious, which acupoints can make people weak, and which acupoints can double the pain.
Xia Xiaoman studied very seriously and even went back to get a notebook and pen to take notes.
Halfway through the lesson, Zhou Qiuyang also came to learn. Ye Xiaojie and Sun Qing became teachers, one was responsible for teaching and explaining, and the other was responsible for being a model, cooperating with Ye Xiaojie to point out the learning points.
In just a few days, Xia Xiaoman benefited a lot.
Ye Xiaojie spends one hour every day explaining theoretical knowledge, two hours on physical training, and the rest of the time repeating the moves she taught.
In the last hour, she would let Xia Xiaoman and Zhou Qiuyang fight each other. Not just a casual exchange, but a real fight, a fist-to-flesh fight.
Since he started practicing Sanda, the bruises on Xia Xiaoman's body have never disappeared.
On the third day after moving to Chenyang Community, the wind was significantly weaker and the rainfall was reduced by more than half. Compared with the weather in the previous few days, it can be described as a gentle breeze and drizzle.
After finishing a round of physical training, Zhou Qiuyang sat down against the wall to rest. "The weather outside is much better. Should we go out for a while?"
Xia Xiaoman had no interest in going out. The supplies in her space were enough for her to splurge for a while.
Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie didn't really want to go out. The rain was not heavy now, and they thought the flood would recede soon. It wouldn't be too late to go out after the flood receded.
But considering that they were the ones who went out before, leaving Zhou Qiuyang alone to guard the house, it seemed a bit unfair for them to disagree if Zhou Qiuyang wanted to go out now.
Finally, it was decided that Xia Xiaoman would stay at home in the afternoon while the others would go out for a walk to see if they could meet a rescue team and inquire about the current situation.
Being alone at home with little entertainment, Xia Xiaoman repeated all the moves Ye Xiaojie had taught her. When she got tired, she would take a ten-minute break and then continue practicing after being well rested.
…
It was six o'clock in the evening and it was getting dark, but Sun Qing and the others had not returned yet.
Xia Xiaoman stood on the balcony of 1302 and searched with a telescope for a while, but didn't see them, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried.
It was almost eight o'clock when a faint light appeared on the street. She looked through the telescope for a long time and confirmed that the other party was Sun Qing and her friends before going downstairs to greet them.
Just in case, she carried an axe and a machete behind her waist.
In one day, the water receded by more than half a floor. The flood that had originally risen to the level of the ninth floor receded to ten centimeters below the eighth floor.
When Xia Xiaoman reached the eighth floor, she heard Sun Qing's hoarse voice, "Be careful, carry Lingling up first."
The flashlight shone onto the balcony, and a little girl of five or six years old was carried in by a man.
Xia Xiaoman raised her eyebrows. Are the neighbors so kind? How come they brought back two people in one trip? No, three people.
After the little girl was brought in, the man brought in a boy who looked exactly like the little girl.
"Xiao Man, come and help!"
Hearing Sun Qing's voice, Xia Xiaoman came to his senses and walked to the balcony to help move the supplies.
Seeing the appearance of Sun Qing and the others, she frowned, "What were you doing? How did you get so injured?"
Sun Qing's shoulders and left arm were wrapped in gauze, with blood oozing out of the gauze. The area around her neck was bluish purple, and it was obvious that she had been strangled. No wonder her voice was so hoarse.
Zhou Qiuyang also had bandages wrapped around his back, and his face was frighteningly pale, as if he would faint at any moment.
The one who was least injured was Ye Xiaojie, who had a cut on her right leg. Maybe there wasn't enough gauze, so she didn't bandage it. The wound had turned a little white due to being soaked in rain water.
Sun Qing pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, "We were robbed. Thanks to the coach, otherwise we might have died outside today."
"Your throat may be injured, so please speak less. Come here, I will carry you up."
The man whom Sun Qing called coach lifted Sun Qing up and placed her on the balcony railing. Xia Xiaoman helped her jump off the balcony, followed by Ye Xiaojie.
Zhou Qiuyang was so badly injured that he couldn't move. The coach carried Zhou Qiuyang on his back, climbed into the balcony and carefully put him down.
"You must be Xia Xiaoman, right? Please take them upstairs first. I'll clean up here." After the coach said that, he turned around and climbed out of the balcony to move the supplies.
Xia Xiaoman turned her head to look at Sun Qing and the others. Ye Xiaojie explained, "He is the boxing coach of Aqing and me. His name is Wen Jianfeng. This is his son Wen Xu and daughter Wen Ling."
"Coach Wen is a nice person. He won't take our supplies away. If you are really worried, you can take Xiaoxu and Lingling up first." The two children were being held captive, and Wen Jianfeng couldn't run away with the supplies.
Xia Xiaoman was not afraid that Wen Jianfeng would take away the supplies. Those were Sun Qing and the others' supplies, and they didn't mind, so why should she mind?
Sun Qing's injuries were to her arm and shoulder, so she didn't need support to walk. Ye Xiaojie's injuries were to her leg, but the injury wasn't serious, so she could still walk a bit despite the pain. The only one who couldn't walk was Zhou Qiuyang.
Zhou Qiuyang seemed to have lost too much blood, and he was completely drowsy. Not to mention walking, he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Xia Xiaoman squatted in front of him, picked him up, and said to the twins who were standing aside at a loss: "Little guy, let's go!"
The twins looked at their father, and after getting Wen Jianfeng's approval, they happily followed Xia Xiaoman.
