Chapter 14 Kung Fu Girl Bai Ying seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage,...
On a late autumn night, Bai Ying smelled a hint of loneliness in the wind.
The cat food placed under the trees and in the grass was still full. Judging from the signs that it had not been touched, the kitten had disappeared for a whole week.
Could it be that the kitten really turned into a spirit and transformed itself into Qin Yonglian to go on a business trip to Shenzhen?
The weather forecast says that a new cold wave will be moving south in the next two days. Bai Ying is worried and prays that Jianghu Kitten will have a warm home no matter where he is by then.
She has been studying very effectively in the library recently, finishing her part-time column and submitting her homework ahead of schedule.
He could have relaxed, but when he heard that Bai Xuan was preparing for the publication of a new book, Bai Ying actively volunteered to help his grandfather proofread and organize the materials.
After staying there for a while, I didn't realize it was three o'clock in the morning before I came out of the library.
Although she had carefully searched for the kitten around the library during the day, the moon was bright tonight, and Bai Ying couldn't help but meow as she walked around along the street lights again.
As expected, she didn't see Jianghu Xiaomao, so she had to rush home alone.
When she went out in the morning, she met the doctor's family carrying large and small bags, preparing to go to Hung Hom Station to take the subway back to the mainland. Only then did Bai Ying see the little brat who had been bothering her for two weeks. It turned out that he was just as she had imagined, a lively and chubby Calabash Brothers.
Bai Ying thought that this way she could sleep at home until she woke up naturally tomorrow and no longer have to worry about naughty children acting as free human alarm clocks.
Back in the lobby, the security guard's seat was empty. The security in this old tenement building is not as good as that in the residential buildings in the surrounding areas, which is also one of the reasons why the rent is cheap.
Bai Ying walked into the elevator alone and pressed the floor button. She found that it was extremely quiet tonight, so quiet that she felt uneasy, unable to find a place to rest and always wanting to float up to the sky.
She quickly attributed her guess to her own psychological suggestion, because she felt the surroundings became quiet after seeing the gourd baby from the doctor's house leave.
I remember as a child, seeing the wilderness after a heavy snowfall in winter, a vast expanse of white, with knee-deep snow covering the entire mountain and field, and not a single animal in sight. Occasionally, you would hear a crackling sound when the snow broke a branch.
The elevator door dinged open and Bai Ying walked to the end of the corridor.
Compared to the outdoors, the air in this enclosed space felt chilly. She wasn't actually afraid of ghosts or spirits, otherwise she wouldn't have rented an apartment in Hung Hom.
Besides its diverse food stalls and the Hong Kong Coliseum, where concerts are held, Hung Hom also boasts a street known for its wreaths. Another prominent landmark is the "Grand Hotel," surrounded by three or four funeral parlors. Hong Kongers refer to burials at a funeral parlor as "checking into a Grand Hotel."
The snack bar is next to a bunch of paper shops, flower shops and longevity shops (coffin shops).
It is common to see people standing by the roadside selling wreaths, holding disposable bowls and eating fish balls with forks and gusto.
Bai Ying pulled open the first iron gate of the gate, and the heavy iron door made a rattling sound. Then he took out the key and opened the second wooden door, and the iron door slammed shut again.
She couldn't do this series of movements slowly or gently.
This sound was so familiar. Every night when her neighbor came home from work, she would be woken up by the sound of the iron door.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a corridor leading to three single rooms. The voice-controlled lights did not light up immediately, and the corridor was like a dark train tunnel late at night.
Bai Ying didn't put the key to her single room and the public key to the main door together. The moonlight from the window a few meters away was not enough for her to rummage through the pile of miscellaneous items in her schoolbag.
She remembered that there was a push button switch against the wall at the door. She walked to the wall in the dark and pressed the switch. At the same time, the light came on, and the door of the small room closest to the door suddenly opened.
Bai Ying was shocked to find out that the swimming pool lifeguard had already returned from get off work tonight.
The two had met in the elevator before, and she quickly calmed down and greeted politely: "Hello Luo Sheng, sorry to disturb you."
Ah Luo was wearing a floral T-shirt and loose knee-length shorts. He leaned against the door frame with his arms folded over his shoulders. He squinted his eyes and looked the girl in front of him up and down. He gave her a meaningful smile and said, "It's okay, little sister."
The man's voice was unpleasant, rough and hoarse, like thin needles. Every word pierced Bai Ying's heart, reminding her that she must be extremely vigilant immediately.
"Sister, do you live alone?" The man's hoarse voice, with a hint of drunkenness, echoed in the silent corridor.
"I live with my boyfriend."
"Then why didn't he open the door for you?" Luo asked with a wicked smile.
As if receiving some kind of danger signal, her eyes fell on the man's feet, and she said, "He's asleep, I don't want to disturb him."
"Sister, if he doesn't open the door for you, can your uncle open it for you?" The man interrupted her and moved closer to the girl.
Although he was wearing a loose T-shirt, Bai Ying could clearly see the strong muscle lines on his body because he had been working as a lifeguard outdoors for a long time.
Bai Ying's heart clicked, as if she heard the sound of a branch being crushed in the snow. She took a few steps back silently and reached into her bag to feel for her keys.
Seeing the little girl's rosy face, the man thought of the white neck he had seen before. He swallowed hard, feeling restless, and rushed forward to grab her wrist.
"Hey, hey! What do you want to do?" Bai Ying resisted with all her might and shouted, "I'm going to call the police!"
"We are all neighbors. My doctoral classmate is not here today. Come to my uncle's house and sit for a while." The man's voice was rough and his tone seemed nonchalant, but the strength in his hands was getting stronger and stronger, and he pulled the girl towards his room.
The corridor in the room was less than a meter wide. Bai Ying quickly analyzed the situation in her mind. If she only competed with her strength in such a narrow space, she would not have the upper hand. She secretly clenched her fists and asked tentatively, "Do you live alone?"
Ah Luo's eyes darted when he heard this, thinking there was a good chance. "Yes, there's only one person in my uncle's family, so don't be shy."
Bai Ying remembered that the three single rooms had the same structure, and there was a living room right at the entrance where they could fight. So she conserved her strength, deliberately relaxed her feet, and was dragged into A Luo's room with her bag.
The smell of alcohol in the room was even stronger. The man looked very excited. As someone who exercised all year round, his reactions were very agile. He used his physical advantage to reach out and grab Bai Ying's neck. "Behave yourself, or uncle will use a lot of force and hurt you!"
Bai Ying pretended to be breathless, her face flushed red, and followed the man's instructions, deliberately saying obediently, "Uncle, let me go first, take a breath."
The moment the man let go, before he could come to his senses, Bai Ying suddenly lowered her head and hugged his waist, seizing the opportunity to raise her knees to attack his lower body.
A Luo was caught off guard and almost fell flat on his face when he knelt on the ground.
The pain between his thighs suddenly woke the man up from his drunkenness, and he found that his seemingly weak neighbor girl actually knew martial arts.
A Luo's face twisted into a mess, he cursed fiercely, and rushed over to attack Bai Ying like a mad dog.
The man only had strength, but his movements were disorganized. Bai Ying flexibly used his elbows and arms to defend himself from a short distance.
Even though Bai Ying knew some self-defense skills, she couldn't withstand the man's brute force. He grabbed her braid and almost hit her head against the wall. She raised her leg and kicked the wall in time to block the destructive force.
Taking advantage of the reaction force of the kick from the wall, Bai Ying jumped into the air and kicked straight towards the opponent's face.
A Luo was kicked several times and felt dizzy. As soon as he raised his arm, Bai Ying twisted his wrist.
"Ahhh!" As his wrist was pinched on the painful spot, Luo burst into tears instantly due to the pain. Under Bai Ying's guidance, he turned over and faced her with his back.
The offensive and defensive forces on the scene were reversed in an instant.
Ah Luo knew he had offended the wrong boss tonight, but he still insisted, "Fuck your mother! I'm going to kill you!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ying increased the strength in her hands, pinching the man's wrist tightly without letting go, strangling the man's neck, pressing her knees against his shoulders and pressing down, then retracting the force with her palms after grabbing his shoulders.
This was the third time Bai Ying heard a snapping sound tonight. This time it was no longer an illusion like the previous two times. The man's left arm was dislocated and was actually removed by her.
It seems that the self-defense technique Uncle Xiaohu taught her is very effective.
Xiao Huzi① is Bai Xuan’s nephew. He joined the army in the late 1970s and joined the special operations team. Now he has become a high-ranking figure with two gold stars on his shoulders.
Bai Ying learned a few ground fighting techniques from him. She was just learning them for fun at the time, because these special forces ground techniques were very harmful. She didn't have any actual combat needs, so she just learned the basics. Unexpectedly, these basics saved her at the critical moment.
Bai Xuan and Qu Chengyuan raised their granddaughter. Although they doted on her by grandparents, they did not spoil her. After Bai Ying learned to walk, she grew up following a group of soldiers. Her military boxing was more than just fancy moves. When other children in kindergarten were still playing in the mud, the little girl's every move was already very good.
Women are weaker, and if they encounter a larger, more muscular man, they'll be at a disadvantage. Having practiced Wing Chun, Bo Xuan knew that this technique emphasizes subtle power, leveraging the opponent's force to counter it, and being able to stop an attack and focus on quickly subduing the opponent.
In order to improve Bai Ying's physical strength and fitness, he trained with his granddaughter for ten years.
As a woman, her innate explosive power was weaker than that of men, but Bai Ying's endurance, flexibility, and jumping ability were above average. By the time A Luo fully understood this, he had already been knocked to the ground.
"Fuck you, your mother..." The man was stubborn and pretended to bite someone.
Bai Ying grabbed the man's collar again, raised his arm and punched him in the cheek, giving him a solid punch.
*** ***
The police responded very quickly. Less than five minutes after Bai Ying called 999, a patrol officer arrived at the scene.
This case of attempted home invasion made the officers rush over with great concern, but they were shocked by the situation at the scene.
The young female student was waiting for them at the gate. When she saw the police, she remained calm and smiled slightly, her bruised lips wide. She said loudly, "Sir, the prisoner is in the room."
After that, he handed the other party a recorder and said righteously, "This is physical evidence. Our conversation just now has been recorded."
Bai Ying didn't find the key to her single room in her schoolbag, but she did find the recorder she used in class, which accidentally became physical evidence.
The wretched man already had a bruised face and nose, a rag stuffed in his mouth, and he was lying on the ground, covering his arms and groaning in pain.
Apparently, Sir had never encountered such a scene before. He turned around and looked at Bai Ying deeply. This was the legendary case of a gangster meeting a kung fu girl and stirring up a hornet's nest.
Bai Ying understood and walked over and said calmly, "It's just a dislocation. There's no need to call an ambulance. I've learned bone setting and can put it back in place."
A Luo's pupils trembled when he heard this. His arm was twisted off by the seemingly harmless little girl in front of him. Without waiting for him to refuse, A Sir agreed to let Bai Ying do it.
Bai Ying acted without mercy, and A Luo reset the joints while grimacing.
There are both witnesses and evidence, the scene is fresh and well-preserved, and Bai Ying, as the "victim", needs to go to the police station in person to record his statement.
Bai Ying rode in a police car for the first time in her life. [Get in and out of the police station], she ticked a box on her dream notebook and used this reason to comfort herself for the bloody experience that happened without any danger.
When she arrived at the police station, a female police officer came over to give her a full body check. The results showed that she only had bruises on her body and the skin on her forehead and the corners of her mouth was scratched during the fight.
"You protected yourself very well and handled the situation very well. You're amazing," the policewoman said soothingly. "Miss Bai, do you have any relatives or friends in Hong Kong? Let them come pick you up."
Bai Ying didn't want to trouble her friend, so after thinking it over, she called Zhang Caiyi. When the call went to voicemail, she remembered that she was on a business trip abroad.
Just when I was about to tell the police that I could go home alone, my cell phone rang and the caller ID showed an unknown, unsigned number.
"Hello?" She was used to picking up the phone, and she didn't expect that other than her parents abroad, who would call her so early in the morning.
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Bai Ying, it's me."
Across the electromagnetic waves, the man's mellow voice made her feel strangely at ease. After a moment of daze, the girl finally came to her senses.
"Leon?" The corridor of the police station was a bit noisy, so Bai Ying walked towards a quiet place with her cell phone.
Qin Yonglian's tone sounded a little nervous: "What's wrong with you?"
After a long silence, Bai Ying seemed to muster up a lot of courage and said, "I, I'm at the police station."
