Su Jindong, carrying his bag and with a frosty expression, was escorted out of the military camp.
He slumped his head, staring at his toes, a delicate butterfly hair clip gently held in his palm.
He couldn't understand why someone who was fine with him just the other day could suddenly become a complete stranger this morning, telling him not to bother her anymore.
The other day, when he said he wanted to make their relationship public and that he would report it to the military, she clearly acquiesced to it.
Why did she become someone else's boyfriend in just two days?
How did I become the third party who sexually harassed her and ruined their relationship when she was my girlfriend of a year?
He wanted to see Zhou Ningyan; he wanted to talk to her face to face and make things clear.
Su Jindong's eyes were bloodshot, and his lifeless gaze was fixed on the door behind him.
The cold iron gate was already closed.
After a long while, he turned and left, looking deflated.
I wandered around outside aimlessly for half a day, but still didn't want to go home.
Firstly, I didn't know how to tell my grandmother that I had been ordered to go home and reflect on my actions. Secondly, I was genuinely upset.
As darkness fell, he went to the state-run restaurant at the street corner and ate a bowl of dumplings.
After finishing my meal, I figured Grandma was probably going to bed soon, and that she wouldn't be asking me all sorts of questions when I got home, so I slowly made my way home.
Su Jindong had no idea that this delay would cause him to regret it deeply.
Before he even entered the alley, he seemed to hear cries for help from afar.
He could tell the sound was coming from the direction of his house, so he quickly sped up and ran forward.
Chen Ada's house, which is down the corner from Guo's house, quickly turned on its lights upon hearing Guo Wenjing's shout.
A man in his forties, carrying a shovel, limped out, not even having time to put on his coat.
"Wenjing, is she Wenjing?"
"Uncle Ada, help! Please save my grandma!"
With a tense expression, Chen Ada didn't have time to ask any questions and quickly ran towards the Guo family's courtyard, bypassing Guo Wenjing.
In the courtyard.
Just as Guo Wenjing rushed out, Jia Laosan tried to slip away, but Grandma Guo thought he was going to chase after Guo Wenjing and clung tightly to his leg.
He raised his other foot and kicked Grandma Guo hard in the chest with his big leather shoe.
Grandma Guo groaned, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and her hands, which had been tightly holding Jia Laosan, lost their strength.
After escaping, Jia Laosan quickly surveyed the surrounding terrain with a sinister look in his eyes. Then, he picked up the axe on the ground and leaped back into the Li family's yard.
Chen Ada rushed over, only to see Jia Laosan's back on the wall.
He glanced at Grandma Guo, who lay on the ground, her life hanging in the balance, and then, with a murderous glint in his eye, he swung the shovel toward Jia Laosan's neck.
Sensing the killing intent behind him, Jia Laosan dodged the fatal blow by sidestepping.
He had originally planned to come over and give Li Yueniang another blow with the axe, fearing she wasn't quite dead.
He and his three brothers grew up together and came to Kyoto from a small town to make their way in the world.
Over the years, no matter how difficult things have been, the three brothers have always relied on each other and none of them have abandoned the others.
The last time they attacked Li Yueniang, a large part of the reason was that they needed money for medical treatment.
Unexpectedly, he was sentenced to death by firing squad after just one trip out.
Even if it costs him his life, he will send that vicious old woman down to apologize to his eldest and second sons ahead of time.
But I didn't expect this person to arrive so quickly.
Jia Laosan glanced at the open door with some resentment. Under the moonlight, Li Yueniang lay on the cold ground, her life hanging in the balance.
He gritted his teeth, gave up on going inside, turned around and charged again, using his hands to support himself against the wall as he jumped over into the alley outside.
Su Jindong had just run to his door, panting heavily, when he came face to face with Jia Laosan.
Before Jia Laosan could even see his opponent clearly, he swung his axe out.
Su Jindong instinctively leaned back, and the axe grazed his scalp as it came down.
Instantly, a cold sweat broke out all over my body.
Seeing that his attack had failed, Jia Laosan didn't linger and turned to run away.
"Who are you?"
"Milk~"
"Milk~"
Su Jindong wasn't stupid. This man rushed out of his house carrying a sharp weapon, which clearly meant something had happened at his house.
He chased after her while calling out loudly for Li Yueniang.
Just then, Chen Ada also chased after them from the Guo family's house.
Separated by a wall, Guo Wenjing cried out in grief and indignation, "Grandma, Grandma!"
Outside, people living further away also heard the shouts and rushed out with whatever weapons they could find.
Chen Ada was a wounded soldier who had come from the battlefield. He was also very agile. After rushing out of the Guo family's gate, he threw the shovel in his hand at Jia Laosan as if it had been dropped.
With a thud, it hit Jia Laosan squarely on the shoulder.
Jia Laosan stumbled and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Su Jindong rushed over and reached out to grab his arm.
Before he could even grab Jia Laosan, the other party made a bizarre flip and thrust a sharp dagger toward his eyes.
With no other option, he could only roll to the side to avoid the fatal blow.
Jia Laosan reacted very quickly, taking advantage of the opening to get up, clutching his injured shoulder as he tried to run.
With lightning speed, Su Jindong pounced, grabbed Jia Laosan's leg, flipped over, and pinned him down in one swift motion, instantly straddling Jia Laosan and securing him.
The residents on the street had all arrived by then. After handing the man over to Chen Ada to detain, Su Jindong hurriedly ran home.
"Milk~"
"Milk~"
Su Jindong pushed the gate to the courtyard, which was bolted from the inside, and his heart sank to his feet.
He leaped onto the wall, jumped down, and rushed into the room.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a figure lying at the entrance.
"Milk!"
"Grandma, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
Su Jindong turned on the light at the door and quickly looked down to check on Li Yueniang.
At this moment, Li Yueniang was already barely breathing.
Su Jindong's eyes were red, his lips trembled, and his words were choked with sobs.
He looked at Li Yueniang, his hands trembling, unsure of where to begin.
"Grandma, Grandma, it's me, Jin Dong! I'm your eldest grandson! Open your eyes and look at me!"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm back, I'm back, don't be afraid~"
Grandma curled up, and even though she was unconscious, her hands were still in a position as if she were holding her belly.
It's clear that there must be an injury in the abdomen.
Su Jindong bit his tongue to calm himself down, then steeled himself and carefully picked up Li Yueniang as if she were a porcelain doll, rushing outside.
On the other side, Guo Wenjing's cries attracted several enthusiastic neighbors.
Everyone rushed in, and when they saw Grandma Guo's condition, they quickly found a door panel, carried Grandma Guo, and ran to the hospital.
