Chapter 14 Chapter 14 On the training ground, two groups came from the left and right...
Jiang Yunzhong was very conflicted. He could accept it even if they had the same father or the same mother, but unfortunately it was neither of them.
He shook his head: "I'm almost graduating, so I don't have time to go home. I don't have time."
Suddenly, the emergency assembly whistle sounded. There was a lot of complaints and shouting in the bathroom. More than a dozen young men were in a panic. The instructor was too picky. They had only been in the bathroom for five minutes, how could they finish washing so quickly?
Everyone was scrambling to get under the faucet and make soap bubbles. Suddenly, someone opened and closed a door with a bang. When they looked up, Han Jingyuan and his two best brothers had already put on their clothes and went out.
Everyone was cursing, you stole my clothes, I took your clothes and put them on randomly, then ran to the playground to gather.
The instructor punished those who were late to do push-ups. After the group was dismissed, the instructor left Jiang Yunzhong alone and said, "Your dad called and said your new mother and sister have been here for a week. I'll give you one day off. Pack up and get out."
Dad is too much. He is already twenty years old, but he still uses feudal patriarchal methods to put pressure on me. The more pressure he puts on me, the more Jiang Yunzhong wants to resist.
He stood at attention and saluted: "No need to ask for leave, I will go back at the weekend."
How could the instructor indulge these twenty-year-old troublemakers? "I think today's training is not enough. Okay, run ten more laps around the playground."
A few of the same troublemakers stayed after the group was dismissed and watched the fun from the sidelines: "Jiang Yunzhong, do you really dislike new sisters? Don't give them to us."
None of these jokes escaped, and all of them were punished together by the instructor.
Han Jingyuan protested: "Instructor, I didn't joke around, nor did I disobey orders, so why should I run with you?"
The instructor only said one sentence to these troublemakers: "Because you will be colleagues and comrades-in-arms in the future, brothers who will share life and death and can be trusted with your backs. If you keep talking nonsense, you will have to run 20 laps for me."
…
After Jiang Xiaoci heard her second brother talk about some things about her eldest brother, she knew that her eldest brother was not as easy to please as her second brother, so she wanted to leave a good impression on her eldest brother.
By the weekend she had fully recovered and the seedlings in the pots had sprouted new leaves, which was a good sign, so her family felt comfortable letting her go out.
Early in the morning, she took her second brother to buy the vegetables that her eldest brother liked to eat. Passing by the training ground of the staff compound, they saw a group of young men in their teens and twenties playing basketball there.
Jiang Xiaoci looked at the basketball hoop a few more times. After drinking the tea she prepared, her second brother has fully recovered and can play basketball without any hindrance. She really wants her second brother to go on the court and try. Then her second brother will find that his legs are healed, and he will definitely pass the physical examination for military service this year!
As expected, the basketballs in the hands of the brothers on the court flew over with a whoosh and almost hit Jiang Xiaoci on the head. The second brother quickly reached out to block them, but the basketball hit his arm.
There was a loud bang. The force was so strong that it must have hurt so much. It was obvious that the other party threw the ball on purpose. Jiang Xiaoci was angry. She stared at the older brothers who came over, thinking that even if they apologized, she might not forgive them.
Han Cong didn't even look at the little girl, his target was Jiang Yunyi.
He picked up the basketball on the ground and challenged: "Jiang Er, do you still remember me?"
Jiang Yunyi's leg was injured because of Han Cong. It took a lot of effort to heal it. The second time he was injured was also because of Han Cong's family. Han Cong was sent back to his hometown because of this. He also failed the military physical examination. The grudge between them was deep, but he didn't expect the Han family to let him come back so quickly.
The other party doesn't live here, but he came to the staff quarters to play basketball so early in the morning, obviously looking for an opportunity to cause trouble.
In the past, Jiang Yunyi would have challenged back without further ado and a fight would have started, but Jiang Xiaoci wanted to make a good impression on his eldest brother today, so he endured it.
Jiang Yunyi warned: "Han Cong, our two families have already mediated, you and I should both back off. I suggest you apologize to my sister, then take your ball and your people and get out."
Han Cong was most annoyed by Jiang Er's arrogant attitude. Since he cared about his adopted sister, Han Cong couldn't help but take a few more glances at him, and then he saw the problem.
The little girl is good in every way except that her eyes are unfocused, just like a person who is blind but pretends to be normal.
Han Cong caught the pain point and laughed, "Your sister has eye problems. She can't focus at all. It turns out she is a little blind."
Jiang Yunyi himself could tolerate the other party's provocation, but since Jiang Xiaoci was brought up by him, he could not let her be bullied by anyone.
Jiang Yunyi sneered: "You asked for it." As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his fist.
Jiang Weihai originally wanted both of his sons to join the army, so he never relaxed for a moment in their physical training.
In the years after he was away, the eldest son developed his own ambitions and went to police school, while the second son wanted to join the army, but unfortunately he injured his leg and failed the physical examination.
But their physical strength was still there, and Jiang Yunyi did not lose out in a one-on-many situation.
In the melee, Jiang Yunyi was surprised to find that the strength of his legs was more than enough to support such an intense fight. Logically speaking, he should have been unable to stand by now, so how come he became stronger and stronger as the fight went on?
…
The other side had more people and more power. No matter how good Jiang Yunyi was at fighting, he still took a few hits under the siege of five or six people. But he was only happy in his heart, as if his leg was really healed.
Jiang Yunyi hadn't fought so happily for a long time. Gradually, he was evenly matched with the five opponents. He was injured, and the opponents were not much better off.
Jiang Xiaoci had only been here for a few days, and because of her, my second brother had a fight with someone else. The other party was shameless and used their numbers to bully the weak and surrounded my second brother.
Jiang Xiaoci was so angry that she watched her second brother being kicked and punched several times. She was extremely anxious and knew that the one named Han Cong was the leader.
She understood the principle of "capture the leader first", so she jumped onto Han Cong's shoulders, wrapped her two little arms around his neck tightly, and pulled back hard, making thunderous noises beside his ears.
"You bastard, you brought so many people to bully my second brother, tell them to stop immediately, or I will bite your neck through!"
Han Cong's ears were almost broken by the shock. She was so angry. Why did she get involved in a fight between boys? This is such a disgrace.
Han Cong threatened: "Get down here, or I'll throw you out!"
Seeing that he didn't listen to her advice, Jiang Xiaoci decided that she was not just talking. Her second brother had fought several people for her, so she must stand by him through thick and thin.
Jiang Xiaoci bit his neck hard and refused to let go.
Han Cong felt pain and tried to throw Jiang Xiaoci over his shoulder, but failed. He tried hard to twist the hands that were tightly around his neck, with such force that he almost broke Jiang Xiaoci's arm.
Jiang Xiaoci also felt the pain, so he opened his mouth and cursed: "You shameless bastard, if you have the guts, come and fight my second brother!"
"Let's have a one-on-one duel!"
Han Cong was already furious and once again made a gesture as if to throw Jiang Xiaoci out.
At the same time, two groups of people came to the training ground of the family compound, one on the left and one on the right.
Jiang Yunzhong and Han Jingyuan, who lived across the street, were neighbors who grew up together. However, due to the affairs between his younger brother and Han Jingyuan's cousin's family, the two developed a rift. They would not speak when they met, and would automatically avoid each other. Even if they took the same road home, they would go one on the left and one on the right, one in front and one behind.
But this time it was different. The one fighting on the basketball court was his younger brother, and the other was Han Cong, who caused his younger brother's leg injury.
Seeing that the roaring little girl on Han Cong's back was about to be thrown out, it was probably the new sister he had never met.
No matter what the reason for the fight, Jiang Yunzhong was worried that he would not have the chance to teach Han Cong a lesson. He took off his coat and threw it on the ground, called his good brothers, and cursed: "Han Cong, come at me if you dare!"
Han Jingyuan was a little faster than Jiang Yunzhong. He didn't help anyone in the fight. Han Cong was about to throw the girl on his shoulders out. If she was hurt, no one on the court today would have a good outcome.
In a flash, Han Jingyuan caught the falling girl, and his back hit something hard, causing severe pain.
Fortunately, I put some cushion on it, otherwise the girl would have fallen and bumped into something, and no one would have been safe.
The little girl fell on him without even looking back, her mind was all on her brothers on the battlefield. She jumped up, picked up the scattered basketball from the ground, and smashed it at the back of Han Cong's head. She was really fierce.
Han Jingyuan took several seconds to get up from the ground, turned his head and looked at the small tin box that fell out of someone's pocket. It was this thing, the lid had fallen somewhere, and the broken tin had probably rubbed his back and caused skin to peel off. He kicked it away to avoid hurting anyone again.
…
There was a scuffle in the family compound, and they were all young men in their twenties. A nosy neighbor called the police, and soon the sirens came closer and closer. Everyone knew that the police had arrived, and everyone present was taken to the police station. Getting a beating was a small matter, but having their case recorded was a big deal.
Jiang Yunzhong said, "Fighting is fighting, but everyone should keep their mouths shut. Just say it was a normal collision during the game. Is that okay?"
Han Cong suffered a loss. When he touched his neck, he found blood oozing out. He had just returned from the countryside and didn't want to go back. He gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger: "I have no problem. Ask your sister."
Jiang Xiaoci didn't want her two brothers to go to the police station. The eldest brother was in the police academy, and the second brother's leg was hit so badly just now. He would definitely pass the physical examination for joining the army this year. Neither of them could leave a record.
Jiang Xiaoci didn't like the older brothers on the other side, but she still agreed: "Then let's say you cursed first, and after we taught you a lesson, you were convinced and reconciled."
Han Cong was about to start another fight, but was stopped by Han Jingyuan: "After entering the police station, do you still want to take the college entrance examination this year?"
Han Cong couldn't accept Jiang Xiaoci's conditions, so he threw in the towel: "Brother, even if we agree, will the police believe us? It's not that easy to coax them away, right?"
Jiang Xiaoci thought, what's the difficulty? She could coax one of them to show them. She said, "You guys pretend to play ball now. I'll go talk to the police. You don't have to go to the police station."
The group of people were skeptical and ran back to the basketball court awkwardly. They were not playing basketball, they were hitting people with the basketball. They thought to themselves that if they couldn't fool the other party, they would beat up the other party first to avoid being at a disadvantage.
Jiang Xiaoci would never let her two brothers be taken to the police station. After both sides agreed, her brothers went to play basketball. She turned around and ran to the police car, looking innocent and romantic, and asked, "Uncle, why are you here?"
The police looked at the dozen or so energetic young men on the court, and they looked like they were about to start a fight.
An older police officer said, "We received a call about a fight in the city police station's family compound. Little sister, did you see it?"
It would be impossible to lie, so it was better to admit it. Jiang Xiaoci laughed twice, then agreed, but changed the way he said it.
"I was there the whole time and saw it, uncle. This is what happened. My brothers were playing basketball there. That brother Han Cong hadn't been home for more than a year and was so angry at my brother's basketball skills that he got humiliated. But my brother didn't bother with him. You see, they've reconciled now and everything is fine now."
Several of the guys had wrinkled clothes, and some had obvious bruises on their faces. It was not uncommon for young men of this age to fight each other over disputes.
What's more, this is the staff quarters of the Municipal Bureau. The parties involved want to keep the matter peaceful and the police don't want to make a big fuss, but the prerequisite is that they stop fighting.
The police officer asked Jiang Xiaoci: "Little sister, can you guarantee that they won't fight again after we leave?"
Jiang Xiaoci waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, we are all from the same family compound, and my brothers are very nice people. They won't fight in front of me again. Uncle, you guys should go back soon."
Just by coincidence, a family in the staff compound came out in a panic, shouting that there was a thief in their house and they wanted to call the police.
Isn’t this a ready-made police officer? The two policemen didn't care whether this group of troublemakers would fight again, and ran to the house where the theft occurred to investigate the scene and take statements.
Regardless of the reason, Jiang Xiaoci got the job done. She turned around and pointed at Han Cong angrily: "Don't tell on me when you get home. If you dare to tell your mother, I will tell my father that you were the first to beat a girl like me. Let's see who gets beaten in the end, you or my brother."
Han Cong's neck was in so much pain, and he was so angry: "Are you being reasonable? It was obviously your second brother who started it first."
In Jiang Xiaoci's mind, Han Cong was a person who didn't understand reason and cursed randomly, so there was no need to reason with him. Besides, Jiang Xiaoci was already very angry because of his confusion of right and wrong.
"You provoked my second brother first and called me a blind boy. You deserve to be beaten."
Maybe it was because Jiang Xiaoci's behavior today shocked everyone. She bit Han Cong's neck, and then innocently said nice things to coax the police uncle away. Both sides tacitly understood and dispersed without saying anything.
After the other party left, Jiang Xiaoci felt her pocket and found that the tin box that contained her candy was lost. It was brought from Dahe Village and was very commemorative.
She searched all over the court, and in the chaos, someone kicked the box aside, and it was flattened. She picked it up with a broken heart, but found blood on it. She was not injured, and Jiang Xiaoci found it very strange.
…
The fight was over and the police left, but the parents still found out and rushed back.
Jiang Weihai was really angry this time. With a baton in hand, he hit each of his two sons a few times: "You are still fighting with your sister here. What if she gets hurt? You are so grown up, but you still can't tell the difference between the seriousness and the minor."
Jiang Yunzhong took a step forward and said, "Dad, I'm the one who started the fight. If you want to hit someone, come at me. You know my second brother's body, can he withstand such a beating from you?"
Dad moved too quickly just now and Jiang Xiaoci didn't have time to stop him. Now she hugged her father's arm holding the baton and begged for mercy.
"Dad, it's not my brother's fault for what happened today. That guy named Han Cong called me a blind boy, and my second brother got angry, so we had a fight. And I fought the worst. They just fought, but I bit them. I even bit Han Cong's neck. Dad, if you want to hit someone, just hit me. If you hit my brother, how can I get along with him in the future?"
Jiang Weihai felt very upset. Not only did his sons fight, but they also brought their sister with them to fight. How could this be tolerated? If Xiaoci hadn't pleaded for mercy today, he would have taught his two sons a lesson.
He was tired of repeating some things over and over again: "Look at my sister, you all know how to think about the overall situation. Before you think about fighting in the future, consider the consequences."
Although he was scolding him, Jiang Weihai was still worried about his son. He asked Jiang Yunyi, "How does your leg feel? Is there any pain?"
Jiang Yunyi not only did not feel uncomfortable, but after this activity, he felt more and more energetic.
He was pleasantly surprised: "Dad, my leg should be completely healed. I want to go for another physical examination before joining the army."
Jiang Xiaoci nodded in agreement: "Before the eldest brother came, the second brother fought five people at once and never lost. If his leg was not healed, how could he win? It must be healed."
Jiang Yunzhong was happy for his brother: "Today, my brother kicked Han Cong more vigorously than before. I think he is really getting better."
Jiang Weihai angrily hit the boss with a stick: "Can't you set a good example?"
After beating up the eldest, I couldn't wait to take the second to the hospital for a detailed examination.
…
On the other side, Feng Qiaozhen, who had rushed back, was also scolding her son. She was almost angry to death.
I knew that Han Cong would cause trouble as soon as he came back. I told him many times not to hang out with his cousin, but he not only did he hang out with him, he also helped in the fight.
Feng Qiaozhen scolded, "The girl next door is so cute. You guys fought in front of her. Can you afford to pay for the damages? Get down on your knees."
Han Jingyuan felt sorry for his mother, so he took the feather duster from the top of the cabinet and handed it to him. His mother said, "Mom, my knees hurt if I kneel down, so I'll stand and you can hit me wherever you want, back and forth."
Feng Qiaozhen was so angry that she had a headache. She took a feather duster and hit him hard several times. He remained motionless. Feng Qiaozhen was so upset that she threw the feather duster away and said, "I know you are tough and not afraid of being hit. I can't hit you anymore."
Han Jingyuan was most afraid of his mother being like this. He would not be afraid if his mother really hit him. He bent down to pick up the feather duster, and suddenly, Feng Qiaozhen saw blood on his coat. Was he injured during the fight?
Feng Qiaozhen hurriedly took off her son's coat, and Han Jingyuan quickly wrapped his clothes tightly around him: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Feng Qiaozhen pointed at him and said, "Don't fool your mother. Is your back injured? I told you to wear a coat normally but you didn't. Today you are wrapped up so tightly. There must be something fishy going on. Take it off and show me."
Han Jingyuan had no choice but to take off his coat and unbutton his shirt, only to see blood stains on his shirt. He made light of the incident: "I accidentally scratched something during training, it's nothing serious."
Feng Qiaozhen saw that the wound was round and a large piece of skin had been scraped off during the friction. She felt so distressed that she quickly took out the medicine box, but found that the disinfectant alcohol was gone.
The quickest way is to borrow some from the neighbor next door. Feng Qiaozhen said, "Wait a minute, I'll go borrow some disinfectant alcohol from the neighbor next door."
Han Jingyuan dissuaded her: "Mom, if you go to borrow alcohol in such a big way, they will think we deliberately let them know that I'm injured, and how much suspicion will it cause? I can go down and buy it myself."
Feng Qiaozhen thought about it carefully and felt that what her son said made sense. Even if Jiang Weihai was not suspicious, if his eldest son misunderstood again, wouldn't that deepen the conflict?
So she said, "Just sit at home quietly, I'll go buy it."
Feng Qiaozhen was buying disinfectant alcohol at the health center at the door, and she happened to run into Jiang Xiaoci who was also buying here. The little girl must have been scared today, so she hurriedly asked, "Xiaoci, are you injured anywhere?"
Jiang Xiaoci quickly shook her head. She knew that Aunt Feng and Han Cong's family were related, so she said embarrassedly, "Aunt, I'm fine, but I bit Brother Han Cong's neck. Please go to his house later to see if his injury is healed. I have some pocket money, so I'll pay for his medical expenses."
Feng Qiaozhen smiled and her heart melted. What a well-behaved and honest child.
She smiled and said, "It's okay. They are tough. It's nothing to be hurt by a small injury. Why did you buy alcohol?"
Jiang Xiaoci said, "Brother has a wound on his fist. I bought some alcohol to disinfect it. You bought alcohol. Is Brother Han also injured?"
Feng Qiaozhen said, "He must have fallen onto something round and scraped off a large piece of skin. It's okay. Just apply some medicine and bandage it. It will be healed in a few days."
Jiang Xiaoci thought about it and remembered that when she was thrown out by Han Cong, it was Han Jingyuan who caught her. Her tin box was also round and was crushed. Could this be the reason why Brother Han was injured?
After buying disinfectant alcohol, Jiang Xiaoci came back with Aunt Feng who lived next door. Aunt Feng started scolding as soon as she entered the room, as if the injured brother refused to take off his clothes. Jiang Xiaoci turned her head and took a look. Under Aunt Feng's coercion, Brother Han took off his shirt. The wound on his back really matched the round box that she had crushed.
The eldest brother of the Han family looked outside, and Jiang Xiaoci quickly turned her head and ran back to her home.
