Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

Chapter 13 Hero Saves the Beauty

As darkness fell, Ding Yang didn't return to Shaling. Instead, he went to Yantian Industrial Zone and ate a 5-yuan boxed lunch.

I lit a Temex cigarette. There's a foot massage parlor in the industrial area. I've been in Fenggang for so long, but I haven't had a foot massage many times. Anyway, I don't have a motorcycle anymore, so I'll just have a foot massage first.

As the saying goes, in life I'm good at mending and patching, but at bathhouses I spend money like water.

Foot massage parlors in industrial areas are relatively cheap; you can get a foot massage for an hour for 20 or 30 yuan.

Ding Yang selected a woman in her thirties who was quite attractive.

"Technician number 8 is at your service."

"Um!"

It's said that wearing a hand-branded yukata is a symbol of a successful man.

Smoking cigarettes and chewing betel nuts, he poured out his heart to his sister.

First, I soaked my feet in a medicinal solution, then I got a massage.

"Beautiful lady, where are you from?"

"Hey handsome, what about you in Xuchang, Henan?"

"I'm from southern Hunan."

"Oh, where does this handsome guy work as a boss?"

"Tighten screws in the industrial area across the street."

"Beautiful lady, does your father like to gamble?"

"A little bit, men, they all like to gamble."

How is your mother's health?

"Not too good, considering my age."

"How many sisters are there?"

"I also have a younger brother who is studying at a university in Beijing."

"Oh! That's pretty good."

Are you married?

"No, I had a relationship before, but we broke up."

It's not easy. My dad is a gambler, my mom is sick, my brother is in school, and she's heartbroken. If I don't help her, who will? I'm not just washing feet, I'm washing the muddy path of the world.

The time spent washing feet is always too short; an hour passes in the blink of an eye. My love for you rises with the clock and falls with it, and when the clock stops, my heart is filled with unease.

"Handsome, how about we go upstairs for a bit?"

Ding Yang smiled and asked, "Do you have set meals?"

"Yes, there are 12 major projects."

"How much?"

"The set meal is 200, which is a great deal."

"Was it you who went on stage?"

The woman blushed slightly.

"If you're handsome, you can choose me too."

Ding Yang thought to himself, "I've worked hard for two days, and I might not even earn two hundred yuan. Now that I've lost my motorcycle, I have to find a job again, and I don't have much money left in my pocket."

Besides, this woman is alright if it's just a foot massage, but she's too old if it's a set meal. I originally thought she was a respectable woman, but it turns out she's a "retailer." What a disappointment.

"Thank you, but I don't have enough money on me today. I'll come again next time."

When people arrive in Luoyang, the flowers are in full bloom, but when I come, spring has not come. When the bells stop tolling, all feelings vanish.

Ding Yang left the foot massage parlor and wandered aimlessly until he came to the entrance of an alley.

I noticed two thugs blocking a woman's way. The alley was dimly lit, so I couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but she had a good figure and was almost 1.7 meters tall.

Suddenly, one guy grabbed the woman, while another guy started searching her and immediately snatched her phone and bag.

The woman was so frightened that she dared not utter a sound.

Holy crap! This is a total robbery, this is so low-tech.

Ding Yang was furious. He was determined to fight back when he saw injustice.

He charged forward with a savage thud, kicking one of the men to the ground while yelling, "Robbery! Robbery!"

Another guy wanted to fight Ding Yang.

Little did they know that Ding Yang had boxing experience. Although he was an amateur, he was definitely much better than someone who didn't train. He threw a left hook at the guy's chin, but the guy didn't know how to dodge at all.

"Bang!"

He was knocked out on the spot, knocked unconscious, and left lying on the ground like a corpse.

This person's chin and the back of their head are actually like a seesaw; hitting the chin is the easiest way to make them faint.

The guy who was kicked got up from the ground. Seeing his companion being beaten and seeing Ding Yang's size, he knew he couldn't win, so he turned and tried to run away, completely disregarding his companion's life or death.

Ding Yang wasn't about to let him escape. He rushed forward, grabbed him with his right hand, and slammed his left knee into his head.

"Bang!"

He fainted on the spot.

Ding Yang cursed inwardly, "Oh no, I kicked too hard. I might really kill him. I hope I don't smash his skull."

In the blink of an eye, two people were knocked unconscious.

The woman was still in shock, her face pale with fright.

Ding Yang picked up his phone and bag from the ground.

"Hey beautiful, is this your phone and wallet?"

"Yes, thank you!"

"Call the police immediately!"

The woman then realized what was happening and immediately dialed 110 (the police emergency number).

Ding Yang stepped on the guy's back, made him lie face down, tied his hands, and pulled off his own belt to bind his hands as well.

"Beautiful lady, don't go yet. You have to be my witness. I did something heroic."

Perhaps it was because they heard Ding Yang shout "robbery" that a large crowd of onlookers suddenly gathered.

Ding Yang felt very awesome, with a kind of chivalrous spirit.

In less than 5 minutes, the village's security patrol team arrived. In Dongguan, almost every village has a security team.

"What happened?"

The woman immediately went up.

"These two men robbed me, stealing my bag and phone, but this handsome guy saved me."

Several security guards helped the two men up.

"Ur...Ur...Gah...Gah..."

Police lights flashed; officers had arrived.

Let's get a preliminary understanding of the situation.

Seeing that the police had arrived, Ding Yang knew he should leave.

To his surprise, the police officer asked him to go to the police station to clarify the details and give a statement.

Ding Yang cursed inwardly, thinking that this was really asking for trouble, but thankfully the woman came along.

The two got into a double-cab Isuzu police car, which is also called a "birdcage car" in Dongguan. Fortunately, they sat in the back driver's seat, not in the cargo box. I heard that when they used to arrest people with temporary residence permits, they were all crammed into the cargo box.

Once in the car, Ding Yang finally got a good look at the woman. She was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with an oval face, a high nose, big eyes, and a slightly upturned chin. She was quite attractive, but unfortunately, her chest was rather flat, probably a B cup at most.

The woman would occasionally steal glances at Ding Yang out of the corner of her eye.

Because there were police officers present, the two did not speak.

At the police station, the two gave statements separately.

After the statement was taken,

"Officer, may I go now?"

Since it was originally an act of bravery, and the woman was a witness, Ding Yang was not in any trouble.

A police officer asked, "Handsome, have you ever practiced boxing?"

"I practiced it when I was in school, so what?"

"No wonder you were so accurate. You broke that guy's jaw and he had to go to the hospital."

"At the time, I was anxious and didn't think too much. I just wanted to catch these guys. I didn't expect to break their bones."

"Alright, you can go now."

Ding Yang left the police station and had just reached the main gate.

The woman was actually waiting for him.

"Handsome, thank you so much!"

Ding Yang laughed and said, "So, how are you going to thank me?"

"what……"

The woman didn't expect Ding Yang to ask that question.

"How do you want me to thank you?"

Ding Yang thought that the best solution would be to repay him with his body or to let him sleep with him once.

He took out a Temex and lit it.

"Hey beautiful, how about you treat me to a late-night snack?"

"OK!"

The two walked shoulder to shoulder toward the industrial area.

"Oh, where do you live?"

I work at Shinano Motor and live at the factory.

"Are you at Shinano Mada?"

"Yes."

Ding Yang knew that Shinano Motors was a Japanese-owned company that mainly produced micro motors. It had several thousand employees and was a well-known large factory in Fenggang, with excellent benefits.

"Then why did you go into the alleys inside the village?"

"I was off work and went to meet a fellow villager. She rents a house in the village, and I never expected something like this to happen."

"oh!"

"Beautiful lady, what's your name?"

"My name is Liu Jing, and what's yours, handsome?"

"Ding Yang, you can just call me Xiao Yang!"

"Handsome, you're from Hunan, right?"

"You know about this too?"

"You speak with a Hunan accent."

"Where are you from?"

"you guess!"

Ding Yang deliberately imitated a Henan accent.
