Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 15 Take action
"Xiao Ran, are you okay? Why is there such a big cut on your back? Hurry, hurry, let's go to the clinic first."

Not long after Xiao Ran carried the three naughty kids out of the woods, they were picked up by the village director and others. Seeing that the three children were safe and sound, the villagers finally felt relieved.

Someone wanted to ask Xiao Ran how he found the people, so they walked into the woods, but there was thick white fog inside. The group wandered around in there for a long time and came out in a daze.

They went in several times, but in the end found nothing.

As a result, before the village director could ask, the others discovered a big cut on Xiao Ran's back. They were immediately shocked and did not bother to ask. They hurriedly shouted for someone to send Xiao Ran to the village clinic.

At this time, most clinics would have closed, but the situation today was special, and they were afraid that something might happen to the three naughty kids, so the village director specifically instructed the clinic doctors to wait a little longer.

Look, the three naughty kids didn't get to use it, but Xiao Ran got to enjoy this privilege first.

After checking the wound and making sure it was not deep, he simply sewed a few stitches, disinfected it and bandaged himself.

After hastily treating the wound, Xiao Ran prepared to go home.

If we go back now, we can still catch the bus into the city. If we go back any later, we will have to wait until tomorrow.

"Xiao Ran, why are you in such a hurry to go back? We are having a banquet tonight, you can't leave. The parents of the children want to toast you."

The village director pulled Xiao Ran's arm, showing an attitude that he was not going to let him go.

"Director, I'm still injured and can't drink. If I go back to the city early, I can go to the hospital for stitches. It's not appropriate to stay here. If the wound worsens, it will be troublesome."

After Xiao Ran said this, the director could not delay any longer and said earnestly: "Well, be sure to pay attention to safety on the way back. If you feel uncomfortable, come back immediately."

Xiao Ran always felt that the village director had something else in his words, but he didn't explain it to her, as if he was worried about something. She nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Upon seeing this, the village chief said nothing more and took the villagers to have a drink.

After the village director and everyone left, Xiao Ran also prepared to go home.

When I walked to the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, I glanced sideways and found that the old man who had hidden under the stone tablet during the day was gone.

Before he walked out of the village, Xiao Ran raised his eyelids slightly, narrowed his eyes into a slit, looked at the people in the shadows in front of him and said, "I just heard the director say that we are inviting chef Wang from the village to prepare a feast tonight. Why don't you go and have a drink, but wait here to see me off?"

"give you?"

In the shadows, Xiao Jiahui and several others came out with sticks in their hands. After hearing Xiao Ran's words, they couldn't help laughing.

As he was laughing, Xiao Jiahui's face suddenly tensed up, and he stared at Xiao Ran fiercely: "Damn it, I've been waiting for you for a whole day, and I thought you weren't going to leave."

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes. He said lightly: "Wait for me? What, are you guys reluctant to leave me?" There was a hint of teasing in his voice, and he knew in his heart why Xiao Jiahui came.

If it weren't for Xiao Ran during the day, my cousin's wife would not be able to withstand the moral bombardment of so many relatives. At that time, she would have no choice but to nod reluctantly. This guy would have jumped over the dragon gate.

But because of the fuss I made during the day, my cousin's wife finally took out the will, and now my cousin's daydream was shattered. No wonder he hated me so much at this moment.

Xiao Jiahui sneered: "Stop talking nonsense! I have to teach you a lesson today and let you know the rules of our Xiao family. Brothers, don't be polite, come on and beat me hard!" Before he finished speaking, he swung his stick and rushed towards Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran slightly turned his body and easily avoided the clumsy attack.

His movements seemed simple, but they were relaxed and casual, and he did not take such trivial matters seriously at all.

If it were in the past, he would have run away long ago, but it is different now. Not to mention that he has the blessing of the [Corpse Stitcher] curse, his strength and stamina have been greatly improved. Even with the blessing of Li Shang's Tiger Fist, it is enough to deal with these cats and dogs.

You have to know that what he inherited was not just a set of boxing techniques, but all of Li Shang's memories and experiences of fighting with others since he started practicing boxing as a child.

Facing the siege of several people, every step he took seemed to be calculated just right. He always cleverly avoided or resolved the opponent's attack with the smallest movement when it was about to come.

After dodging the sticks in the hands of several people, Xiao Ran seized the opportunity, suddenly shouted in a low voice, and accelerated his body suddenly, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and pounced on one of them.

He used the "pounce" technique from the tiger fist, which was extremely swift and he reached the opponent almost instantly.

The man panicked and wanted to raise his stick to resist, but it was too late. Xiao Ran hit him in the chest with a palm and he fell heavily.

Xiao Jiahui and his companions were stunned when they saw their companion falling to the ground, holding his chest and wailing in pain.

But Xiao Ran didn't give them a chance to recover, he turned around and rushed towards them. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he kicked them with a sweeping kick. The man felt a sharp pain in his leg, lost his balance and fell to the ground. Then Xiao Ran turned around and slapped him behind him with his backhand.

I saw a man who originally wanted to hide behind Xiao Ran and hit him with a club, but Xiao Ran suddenly turned around and slapped him. Before the slap arrived, he felt a strong and powerful wind blowing on his face, causing waves of stinging pain. The man was frightened by Xiao Ran's speed and fierce attack, and instinctively raised his hand and raised the stick to block in front of him.

"Crack!!"

However, he didn't expect that the stick which was three fingers thick was actually broken into two pieces by the blow. The remaining power of the slap made the man fly to the ground and faint.

In a blink of an eye, only Xiao Jiahui was left out of the four or five people.

Xiao Jiahui's scalp was numb now. Doesn't this guy work in a funeral home? Is it necessary to practice boxing? Who is he defending against?
These questions just flashed through Xiao Jiahui's mind. The next second, he didn't bother to think about the answers. There were only two words in his mind: "Run!"

But as soon as he raised his legs, his feet became unobedient and instead of running away, his two legs crossed and tripped over each other, causing him to fall flat on his face.

When Xiao Ran saw how stupid he looked, he couldn't help but laugh.

He walked up to the guy, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up from the ground.

"Ah, stop it, hitting people is against the law!" Xiao Jiahui screamed and was about to shout for help.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xiao Ran raised his hand and slapped him twice.

"Clap!!"

The two slaps made Xiao Jiahui's head buzz, and he immediately felt his cheeks getting red and hot, as if they were about to swell.

"You are such a loser, and you dare to think of eating up the whole family. If you succeed, there will be no way for mother and daughter to survive."

"Don't, don't hit me, I was wrong, don't hit me, I was wrong."

Seeing Xiao Ran's bad tone, Xiao Jiahui was so scared that he was shaking all over. Fearing that he would be beaten up by Xiao Ran again, he quickly begged for mercy.

Seeing his cowardly look, Xiao Ran immediately looked down on him. He even lost interest in beating him up and kicked him out. "I'll be back in a couple of days. If I hear that you dare to mess with my cousin's wife's house, be careful or I'll break your legs!"

Xiao Jiahui lay on the ground holding his stomach, and didn't even dare to fart after hearing that.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran patted the dust off his hands, turned around and walked out of the village. When he walked out of the village, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and felt an unprecedented comfort from inside to outside.

It was as if he had vented out all the regrets and depression left in the maze city.

I couldn't help but think to myself, "I didn't expect that beating someone up could be quite stress-relieving."

As the saying goes, good fortune comes to the mind. Xiao Ran felt relaxed and in a good mood. When he looked up, he saw the bus to the city center approaching slowly.

"Well, this is a good way to vent my anger. I can go home without any delay. It's much more cost-effective than having a banquet."

After Xiao Ran sighed for a while, he waited for the car to stop, quickly got in, put in the coins, found a comfortable seat to sit down, took out his mobile phone and headphones, and listened to some light music as the car drove forward and gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

…………

"Crack!!"

The flame of the lighter was reflected on a bearded face. As the fireworks flickered, the man walked out slowly on the green belt, looked in the direction where Xiao Ran left by car, and nonchalantly took out the walkie-talkie from his pocket.

"It has been confirmed. This kid is most likely a beginner. Register him and call it a day. Go home."

After a while, a rustling signal came from the intercom: "Boss, that guy was very ruthless. Two people had broken ribs and one had a broken leg. Should we do anything about it?"

The man blew out a puff of smoke and asked, "Did he use the cursed item?"

"No."

"Why should we care? We won't interfere if it's not against the rules. Just let the local authorities know. If this group of people report a crime, we'll treat it as a case of causing trouble. We're not a law enforcement agency. Don't be so bored as to try to control everything. Call it a day!"

　Sorry, I overslept yesterday.
