Chapter 17: Community Storm, Lone Hero

Just as the guy in the Bulls uniform was about to throw the ball, I seized the opportunity, gathered all my strength, and suddenly used a large sweeping kick towards the short guy closest to me. Just like when I fought in the past, he had no power to defend himself at all, and fell heavily to the ground with a "thump". I shouted at the top of my voice: "Whoever wants to die, just chase me!" After shouting, I ran towards the entrance of the community. However, they were not frightened by my roar, and the remaining five people chased me without hesitation. I knew in my heart that my short-distance running explosive power has never been very good. Sure enough, before I ran out of the community, I was caught up by a short guy.

While running, I had already expected that the person who caught up would definitely grab my clothes first. At the moment I felt someone reaching out to grab my clothes, I made a quick decision, stopped abruptly and turned around, and used my second best skill - small grappling hand. I quickly twisted the man's arm, and then followed the momentum with another sweeping kick. I heard the man scream and fell to the ground. But before I could catch my breath, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my head. It turned out that a flying kick came up. The kick was so powerful that I almost couldn't stand steadily. I cursed in my heart, this kid is too flexible, he can actually kick my head.

At this time, several of them did not dare to get close to me easily, but just stood not far away and kept kicking me with their feet. I could only try my best to resist with both hands, and I would block as many times as I could. I thought to myself, you can kick as much as you want, as long as you don't get close to me and knock me down, I will bear it. In our place, when fighting, everyone's colloquial language is "your mother, your mother, your mother". At this moment, four or five of them shouted this sentence at the same time, and the voices rose and fell. I dodged and resisted at the same time. When someone tried to rush up and grab me, I desperately shook him off; when someone kicked me, I stretched out my hand to block it. If I couldn't block it, I could only grit my teeth and endure it. In this way, I was forced into a corner step by step by them, and there was no place to hide. I thought to myself, damn it, I will fight with you! So, I shouted desperately, of course, I still shouted "your mother", and then rushed towards them, trying to grab someone. But they seemed to have a lot of experience in fighting. Whoever I wanted to grab quickly hid back, and the other few people continued to take the opportunity to kick me. I didn't even have a chance to fight. I tried several times but failed. In desperation, I had to change my strategy and prepare to catch their kicks.

At this moment, I saw the right opportunity and suddenly stretched out my hand to grab someone's foot. The man obviously didn't react, so I pulled hard and pulled him over. I took advantage of the situation and grabbed his hair and pressed his head down hard. In a fight, as long as you can make the opponent unable to lift his head, the opponent will definitely suffer. I used my knee to hit his face frantically. At this moment, I could no longer care about other people. I thought about dealing with this one first. However, I couldn't hold on after all. The people next to me greeted me with fists. My head couldn't bear it at all, so I could only fall to the ground with my head in my arms. They beat me for a while. At this time, a passerby saw this scene and came to persuade them to stop fighting. After all, this is just a fight between children, and adults usually come forward to stop it. So they stopped, but what's annoying is that they spit on me before leaving. Although I was in great pain at the time, I could still move and there was no bleeding on my body. Fortunately, the environment of this community is good, and there are no bricks and stones around, otherwise, I would definitely be smashed and bleeding. Before leaving, they also made vicious threats, saying that they would beat me every time they saw me in the future.

I struggled to get up from the ground. At that time, I was really angry and my head was about to explode, because this beating was really cowardly. I watched them walk back to the basketball court as if nothing had happened, and the anger in my heart burned even more fiercely. I did not choose to leave the community, but endured the pain in my body and ran downstairs to Zhang Shasha's building. Since I didn't know which floor and door number her house was, I shouted loudly downstairs: "Zhang Shasha! Zhang Shasha!" As I shouted, I looked back at the group of people who beat me on the basketball court, and saw that they were pointing at me and laughing. I kept shouting like this for about 30 times, and finally, Zhang Shasha poked her head out from the 4th floor. She asked in confusion: "Hey, why haven't you left yet?" I ignored her and just continued to shout: "Which door number is your house?" She was even more puzzled and replied: "No. 2, what's wrong?"

I rushed up to the 4th floor and came to the door No. 2, knocking hard on the door. Zhang Shasha came over to open the door for me, and I pushed her open and walked straight into her house. I asked anxiously, "Where is your kitchen?" Because of my commotion, her parents were at home and came over after hearing the noise. They asked, "Shasha, who is this?" Zhang Shasha seemed a little flustered and hurriedly explained, "He is my classmate. I don't know what happened." I ignored them and looked for the kitchen in her house. After entering the kitchen, I opened the cupboard and found that it was full of bowls, and a kitchen knife was hanging on the top. I picked up the kitchen knife without hesitation, turned around and rushed out. Seeing this, Zhang Shasha immediately shouted behind me, "Huang Zhong, are you crazy? Why are you holding a kitchen knife?" Her parents also tried to stop me and asked, "Classmate, what's going on?" I didn't care about anything and ran downstairs quickly. Zhang Shasha shouted from behind, "Dad, stop him!" After going downstairs, I ran towards the basketball court with the kitchen knife in my hand. When they saw me holding the kitchen knife and my angry expression, they were so scared that they immediately ran away. When I saw them running away, I was so excited that I didn't care about anything else. I just thought I would catch one and chop him up first. So I chased after the guy in the Bulls uniform. When the guy saw me chasing him, he was so scared that he ran and yelled, "Did you get hit and go crazy?" He ran into a staircase in a panic, and I followed him closely. I don't know how many floors I ran up, but I saw the guy hastily close the door, and I knew he ran back home. I stood at his door, banging on it, and yelling inside, "Fuck you, didn't you say you'd beat me up every time you saw me? I'm here now, come out and beat me up! Come out and beat me up!" However, the guy was so scared that he didn't even dare to fart in the house, and there was no sound at all. Thanks to the good quality of the houses in this community, his door is an iron door. If it was a wooden door like mine, I would have chopped it up with a kitchen knife. I kept yelling and cursing for a long time, and Zhang Shasha's father also chased upstairs. He panted and said to me, "Classmate, what's going on? Give the knife to uncle first." Then he came up to take my kitchen knife. I stepped back and said, "Uncle, don't worry about it. I must chop him today." Just when his father and I were in a stalemate, Zhang Shasha and her mother also went upstairs. Zhang Shasha saw me and shouted to her father again, "Dad, why are you still standing there? Take the knife from his hand!" This time, I didn't resist again, and her father successfully snatched the kitchen knife away. Zhang Shasha asked me almost in tears, "What's going on, Huang Zhong? Are you crazy? Why are you chasing people with a knife?" So I told them the whole story in detail. After her family listened, her father said to me, "Okay, classmate, uncle knows about it, and this matter will be left to uncle to solve. Shasha's mother, take Shasha home first." But I said stubbornly, "I won't leave. I don't believe he won't come out." Zhang Shasha and her mother still dragged me away. After returning to Zhang Shasha's house, I washed my face. Her father also came back and said to me, "I'll go talk to his family in the evening. Don't worry, classmate." Zhang Shasha asked me if I was beaten up, and I said stubbornly, "It's okay. Even though there are six of them, I didn't suffer much. I even knocked down two of them." Her parents kept enthusiastically asking me to stay at her house for dinner. To be honest, the pain in my body was getting more and more obvious at this time. I couldn't even sit still. I just wanted to go home and lie down.

I felt that my face might be swollen and hot all the time. Both arms were painful and numb. So I said, "I don't want to sit any longer. I have to go home." Zhang Shasha's mother asked her father and Zhang Shasha to take me home. Probably because they were afraid that I would go back to cause trouble again, I said, "No need to take me, uncle, you and Shasha go back." But the two of them still insisted on taking me out of the community and called a taxi for me. Before leaving, her father threw 100 yuan into the car. Before I had time to be polite, her father waved his hand and the driver drove away. After getting off the bus, I put the remaining money in my pocket and went to the grocery store to buy some popsicles and ice cream. I really wanted to eat something cold at that time. At the door of my house, I tidied my clothes, patted the footprints on my body, and then opened the door to go in. My mother and father were both on vacation at home. My mother asked me: "Didn't you say you wouldn't come back for dinner today? Why are you back so early?" I replied: "We ate late in the afternoon, and no one is hungry at night, so we won't eat. I won't eat dinner later either." After saying that, I quickly went into my room. Fortunately, my mother didn't notice anything unusual about me. I took off my clothes and looked at the new clothes I bought yesterday. I felt really distressed. However, after a careful inspection, I found that the clothes were just dirty and not torn at all, which made me feel a little relieved. I looked in the mirror and found that my left face was swollen and the base of my ear was all red. Moreover, my little arm was covered with bruises, and my thighs were also red and blue. The most terrible thing was my neck and the back of my head. I didn't dare to turn my neck hard. When I lay on my back, the pain in the back of my head made me scream. I thought to myself, today is my 18th birthday, and I was beaten like this, how could I be so unlucky? However, it was not without gain, at least my relationship with Zhang Shasha has made a qualitative leap! The next day, I lay at home all day, the feeling of being beaten was really uncomfortable, my whole body was sore. I originally wanted to play the game console, but it was really painful and I didn't want to move. I calculated that school would start the day after tomorrow. I felt that this National Day holiday was wasted, and I haven't played enough. The night before school started, my phone rang, and I picked up the phone. A girl's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Huang Zhong's family?" I asked: "Who are you looking for?" The person on the other end of the phone said: "Nonsense, of course I'm looking for you." I didn't recognize who it was at once, the girl's voice was so unfamiliar. She said: "Why, you can't recognize my voice? You forgot me after not seeing each other for two days?" I immediately reacted, it was Zhang Shasha. I smiled and said, "It's Shasha, how did you get my home phone number? I just didn't think of you at all, otherwise, how could I not recognize your voice?" Zhang Shasha said, "My dad went to find the boy who beat you. The boy and several others admitted their mistakes, and their parents apologized to my dad. They also collected 600 yuan, saying that it was for your medical expenses. I will send it to you after school tomorrow." When I heard it, I immediately said unhappily, "Compensate me 600 yuan and that's it? The new clothes I bought yesterday are all torn, and they are Li Ning! And why did they beat me for no reason? Was it because of you?" Zhang Shasha said, "Those guys just moved in not long ago. I played with them a few times, and they are not from our school. With their character, how can I look down on them?"
