Sheng Xiping gripped the knife in his right hand, making a gesture as if he were about to take out money, and took two steps closer to the tall man.
The tall man, perhaps relying on his numbers and the tools in his hands, didn't take Sheng Xiping seriously. Seeing Sheng Xiping reaching into his pocket, he assumed he was really going to give them money.
"No need for nonsense, just take out whatever you have in your pocket," the tall man yelled.
"Okay, I'll give it to you right away."
As Sheng Xiping spoke, his movements were as fast as lightning. In an instant, he pulled out a knife from his pocket and stabbed it at the tall man in front of him.
The tall guy assumed that since the two brothers were armed, his demonstration should have intimidated them and made them obediently hand over their money.
So he was truly caught off guard. As the cold light flashed and approached, he didn't even have time to raise his three-section staff and could only dodge.
The two were quite close, and Sheng Xiping struck with incredible speed. Caught off guard, the other man was unable to dodge in time, and the knife pierced his left rib.
Fortunately, it was the dead of winter, and everyone was dressed warmly. In addition, Sheng Xiping knew what he was doing and didn't go too far, so the knife didn't penetrate too deeply into the flesh and didn't damage any vital organs.
Even so, the man cried out in pain, lost his grip on the three-section staff, and dropped it to the ground.
"Damn it, you dare to hurt my brother."
The shorter guy was still more than ten meters away from Sheng Xiping when he heard his companion let out a wail before he could get close.
The man hurriedly pulled a sharp hand axe from under his coat and ran towards Sheng Xiping.
When it comes to fighting, Sheng Xiping is the ancestor of this group.
When Sun Yunpeng and his group of more than ten people surrounded Sheng Xiping, he was able to fight back. How much more so when facing two thugs?
However, now is not the time to fight recklessly; it is more important to get out of there as soon as possible.
Sheng Xiping quickly drew his knife, took a step back, kicked the tall, thin man away, then picked up the three-section staff on the ground and threw it at the head of the short man rushing towards him from behind.
Taking advantage of the short man's moment of dodge, Sheng Xiping made his escape, rushing out of the alley and running towards the crowd.
In the alley, the short man was swinging a hand axe, trying to chase after them, when the tall man on the ground called out to him.
Although the tall guy's injury wasn't life-threatening, he was bleeding quite a bit and needed to find a place to bandage his wound quickly.
Besides, going around chasing people with an axe in broad daylight is just asking for trouble. Do they really think no one in the county cares?
These scoundrels are always up to no good, stealing chickens and dogs, robbing people on the road. If the police catch them, they'll be in big trouble.
"Damn it, unless this kid stays out of the county, if I ever see him, I'll skin him alive and tear him to pieces."
The shorter man grumbled as he helped the taller man up. The taller man clutched his left side, and the two of them walked out of the alley to find a place to bandage their wounds.
On the other side, Sheng Xiping hurriedly ran to the bus station and bought a ticket for the 1 p.m. bus to Songjianghe.
