The dark-faced man finished a case of beer and ate all four dishes.
He wiped his mouth, stood up, and left.
The young widow hurriedly caught up with him and said, "Brother, you haven't paid for your meal yet."
The dark-faced man glared at me and said fiercely, "Your lousy restaurant almost made me trip and fall. I'm already being lenient by not making you compensate me for my emotional distress, and you still dare to ask me for money for the meal."
"Brother, my chair leg broke, but you didn't fall. I even brought you a plate of braised crucian carp as an apology. You can't just eat and drink here for free."
"You filthy woman, you don't know how to be polite. Damn it, if you piss me off, I'll smash your restaurant to pieces."
As the dark-faced man spoke, he raised his leg and kicked over a table.
All the plates and bowls on the table were smashed.
Besides Erlv and Ma Yunfei, there were two other tables of guests in the restaurant. Seeing that things were not going well, they quickly left.
Erlu said timidly, "Boss, let's retreat too. Let's not get involved with the sparks. Look, this dark-faced man is not someone to be trifled with."
Ma Yunfei asked in bewilderment, "Erlv, aren't you eyeing the young widow? This is your perfect opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty. If you step in and resolve this matter, the young widow will definitely look at you differently, and she might even sleep with you tonight."
Erlu curled his lip and said, "Boss, I don't know martial arts. How could I possibly beat this dark-faced man? If I get involved in this, I'll definitely get a beating, and I might even lose my life. Hehe... It's not worth it for a little widow."
The dark-faced man kicked over a table, but still not satisfied, he grabbed a thermos and threw it hard on the ground.
Boiling water splashed everywhere, and a few drops landed on Erlu's legs.
He yelled, "Oh my god! It's burning me! Boss, get out of here!"
Before he could finish speaking, Erlv darted out of the Baixing Restaurant like a rabbit.
Two waitresses hid in the kitchen, peeking into the lobby.
The young widow seemed stunned, standing there dumbfounded.
The dark-faced man seemed to get more and more excited as he smashed things. He grabbed a thermos and was about to throw it at the young widow.
At this critical moment, Ma Yunfei stepped forward and stopped the dark-faced man.
He chuckled and said, "Brother, wait a minute!"
"Kid, you want to meddle? I'm warning you: get the hell out of here, or I'll beat you up too."
Ma Yunfei has no martial arts skills whatsoever. Let alone dealing with a towering, burly man, he would probably be utterly defeated even by a big, burly woman.
However, Ma Yunfei has a clever mind; he's resourceful.
Ma Yunfei said with a grin, "Brother, I didn't expect to meet you here. This is quite a surprise."
The dark-faced man paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you know me?"
"Brother, don't you recognize me? We were drinking together three years ago."
"Really? I don't remember any of it at all."
"Brother, it seems we are destined to meet again in Qinglong Town."
Judging from the dark-skinned man's accent, Ma Yunfei didn't think he was a local; it seemed he was just passing through.
Ma Yunfei put his mouth close to the dark-faced man's ear and said, "Brother, do you know the Black-skinned Boss in Qinglong Town?"
The dark-faced man shook his head blankly and replied, "I'm just passing through and don't know anyone in Qinglong Town."
"Brother, Blackie is the boss of Qinglong Town. He has more than a hundred men under his command. He's very powerful. I heard that he has more than a dozen blood debts, but he has never spent a day in jail because he has connections in the government."
"Really? Who cares about skin color or not, it's none of my business."
"Brother, let me tell you a secret. The proprietress of this Baixing Restaurant is Hei Pi's mistress. If you offend her, you might not be able to leave Qinglong Town. I dare say, someone has already tipped off Hei Pi, and in less than ten minutes, all the intersections in Qinglong Town will be blocked by Hei Pi's men. You probably won't be able to leave Qinglong Town."
The dark-faced man was only one person, and even if he was made of iron, he couldn't hammer many nails.
"Brother, I...I'm new here and don't know the local customs, you see..."
"Brother, it's lucky you ran into me, otherwise today would probably be your death anniversary. Here's what we'll do: you quickly pay for your meal, then give the landlady ten yuan, and I'll escort you out of Qinglong Town. To be honest, Blackie and I are sworn brothers, so he has to give me some face."
The dark-faced man, after all, was a man who had traveled all over the country, and naturally knew how to change his stance depending on the wind.
He quickly pulled out his wallet from his pocket, forced a smile, and said respectfully, "Madam, I'm so sorry, I was a bit rude because I was drunk. Please forgive my rudeness. May I ask how much my meal cost?"
The young widow stared at Ma Yunfei, full of questions. She thought to herself: This handsome man whispered something in the dark-faced man's ear for a while, how come he suddenly changed his expression? It's really strange.
Since the dark-faced man had backed down, the young widow naturally took the opportunity to back down as well.
"Brother, the meal costs six yuan and two jiao, I'll just round it up."
The dark-faced man counted out sixteen yuan and handed it to the young widow, saying humbly, "Boss lady, six yuan for the meal, plus ten yuan for compensation."
Ma Yunfei winked at the young widow, signaling her to accept the compensation.
The young widow understood and accepted the money.
"Madam, I'm so sorry, please forgive me again."
Ma Yunfei patted the dark-faced man on the back and said, "Hurry up and go, I'll take you out of town."
