Xu Damao jumped up and slapped Yi Zhonghai on the forehead, causing Yi Zhonghai to stumble.
That wasn't all. Seeing that Yan Bugui had little fighting ability and was getting in the way by jumping around in front, he couldn't help but pull him to the back, while he himself joined the ranks of the "Three Heroes".
The great battle officially began the moment Xu Damao joined the fray.
Xu Damao, with his long legs still idle, kept slapping Yi Zhonghai's face with both hands, the sound of slapping echoing incessantly.
Soon, Yi Zhonghai's forehead turned bright red.
With Xu Damao's assistance, Liu Haizhong was finally able to catch his breath. Compared to Yi Zhonghai, he had indeed gained some weight, and his activity level had reached its peak recently.
Liu Guangtian and Xu Damao cooperated very well, one using his feet and the other his fists, while Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui supervised the fight from the sidelines and occasionally chimed in.
Under this combination, Yi Zhonghai was quickly beaten black and blue, his body covered in footprints, new wounds on top of old ones, and his face was no longer recognizable.
"Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi, I'm begging you, please go and separate them. If this fight continues, your grandpa will be crippled if he doesn't die!"
An elderly woman was being dragged along by Sha Zhu, pleading incessantly, "I don't need you to go up and help fight, but please go and separate them, okay? Considering how good your uncle used to be to you, please help this old lady!"
If Sha Zhu hadn't been holding her back, the old lady would have pounced on her long ago.
Sha Zhu looked troubled, but he was secretly delighted. There wasn't a single good person among these people; he could laugh himself awake in the middle of the night whenever someone got beaten up.
"Auntie, it's not that I don't want to go up and break up the fight, but as you can see, these people are already bloodthirsty. My arm isn't healed yet, and if I go up, I'll just get beaten up too."
"Then let me go and let me take the beating for your grandpa. I don't believe they'll hit me too."
An elderly woman cried and tried to break free from Sha Zhu.
It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because her words made Sha Zhu pull even tighter: "Don't go up there. Didn't you see that Jia Zhangshi is lying on the ground and almost dead? If you go up and stop her now, they'll definitely think you're going to fight."
"Don't worry, as long as Yi Zhonghai falls to the ground, I guarantee this fight will be over immediately."
Sha Zhu kept assuring the old lady, "If you don't agree, I have an idea for you. See Wang Dabao? Go find him. He has a good relationship with Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and Xu Damao. Maybe he can pull them apart."
Wang Dabao surveyed the battlefield. The battle had gone from being intense to Yi Zhonghai showing obvious signs of fatigue, clearly exhausted and destined to be knocked to the ground.
Liu Guangtian and his son Liu Haizhong showed no mercy, kicking Yi Zhonghai so hard he had to stumble backward.
“You hit my dad, and you also hit my Uncle Dabao, Yi Zhonghai, I won’t let you get away with this.”
Liu Guangtian shouted as he hit Yi Zhonghai. He knew Wang Dabao's identity and thought that as long as he didn't kill or maim Yi Zhonghai, even if it went to the police station, it wouldn't be a big deal, since Wang Dabao would be there to cover for him.
Xu Damao was different; he knew how to control his strength and didn't dare to hit vital areas, instead constantly slapping Yi Zhonghai's face.
Wang Dabao was about to step forward to stop them when his arm was suddenly pulled by an older woman.
“Brother Da Bao, I know you and Lao Yi didn’t get along before and had some conflicts, but that’s all in the past. A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Can you please help this old lady and tell them to stop fighting?”
At this moment, the old woman was already crying her eyes out, her hands tightly gripping Wang Dabao's arm, her knees buckling as she was about to kneel down.
"Da Bao, I'm begging you, please have pity on us old folks."
"Oh dear, sister-in-law, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
How could Wang Dabao let an old woman kneel down for him? People would say that later, it wouldn't be the same story. "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you saw how badly Lao Yi beat people before, right? Now it's his turn to be beaten. If I go over to break up the fight, wouldn't that be taking sides?"
"Okay, I won't make things difficult for you."
The woman wiped away her tears with her sleeve and tried to rush inside.
Wang Dabao quickly pulled her back, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't be impulsive. If you rush over now, you won't be able to help Lao Yi, and you'll just get beaten up yourself."
Wang Dabao didn't consider himself a completely wicked person. The old woman had a good reputation in the courtyard, and she would always greet him when she saw him leaving. Compared to Jia Zhangshi, she was a million times better.
Besides, if she rushed in and got kicked out by Liu Guangtian and Xu Damao, Xu Damao would lose his job as mediator and would be bombarded with spittle by everyone.
"Da Bao, let me go. Let them beat me to death. I don't want to live anyway. If I had given birth to a child for Lao Yi, I wouldn't have been bullied by these people."
An elderly woman collapsed to the ground, covering her face and weeping bitterly.
Wang Dabao sighed and glanced inside. Yi Zhonghai was already at his limit, but he still didn't ask Sha Zhu for help.
It's a pity that Sha Zhu escaped unscathed.
"Old Liu, Old Yan, that's enough. Everyone's watching. This is not a good look."
Wang Dabao parted the crowd and shouted to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, then looked at Xu Damao and Liu Guangtian, who were still not done fighting, "You two should stop right away. If you keep fighting like this, tomorrow we'll have to give Yi Zhonghai a whistle, and then you two will get shot too."
Liu Guangtian kicked Yi Zhonghai into a corner, then turned around angrily and said, "Uncle Dabao, this old bastard dared to hit you and my dad, I won't let him get away with it."
"It was Jia Dongxu who kicked me. Jie Kuang has already avenged me. You two, stop right now."
"oh oh!"
Upon hearing from Wang Dabao that the person who hit him was Jia Dongxu, Liu Guangtian immediately turned around to look for Jia Dongxu's whereabouts. After finding Jia Dongxu lying not far away groaning, he jumped over and kicked him.
Jia Dongxu nearly jumped high when the kick landed on him.
After everyone stopped fighting, an older woman immediately rushed over and hugged Yi Zhonghai, who was covered in wounds.
"How are you doing, sir? I'm so sorry. You haven't been able to leave a son or daughter for the Yi family all these years. If we had a son, they wouldn't be bullying you like this!"
An older woman hugged Yi Zhonghai, who was curled up in the corner panting, and cried bitterly, feeling guilty and heartbroken.
Hearing what the older woman said, the neighbors who had gathered around to watch the commotion also sighed.
The middle-aged woman wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "Old Yi, let's get a divorce. You're not even fifty yet. You can find another wife and have a child. I've been a burden to you all these years!"
As she spoke, tears streamed down the middle-aged woman's face as if they were free.
