Chapter 53: I have more people than you
From the moment he left Taohua Island and boarded the boat to Wan County, the fates of Xi Xingchen, Zhou Qiaoqian, Duan Zhenghua, and Jin Bo were tied together.
There are far and near friends. After having a heart-to-heart talk on the boat, Xi Xingchen felt that the relationship between the three of them and Zhou Qiaoqian had gone beyond the category of friends.
After some weighing, Xi Xingchen used the word "my sister".
This is a title that only relatives deserve. Xi Xingchen wanted to use this title to tell the three of us that we will be brothers who advance and retreat together in the future.
Zhou Qiaoqian, Duan Zhenghua, and Jin Bo were all exquisite and transparent people. They instantly understood what Xi Xingchen meant. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, and they felt that the distance between them was getting closer.
As the person involved, Zhou Qiaoqian said nothing, but it could be seen from her slightly red eyes that she agreed with Xi Xingchen's title.
Chen Jie looked Zhou Qiaoqian up and down maliciously and said, "Very good!"
"Bah!" Zhou Qiaoqian hated the way Chen Jie looked at her and spat at him angrily.
"Okay! Little Pepper, I like it." Chen Jie said to Xi Xingchen. "Keep her here. Since you are my uncle, I don't have to kill you today."
When Xi Xingchen heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and murderous intent rose in his eyes.
In his previous life, Xi Xingchen had a good-natured personality and rarely said harsh words to others. But he is a very principled person at heart. He will not bully someone because he is weaker than him, nor will he deliberately cling to someone because he is powerful. But it would be a big mistake to think that Xi Xingchen is a bad person. .
When Xi Xingchen was in elementary school, a classmate in the class bullied Xi Xingchen because his relative was the leader of the school. The offended Xi Xingchen immediately beat up the classmate. The school teacher called Xi Xingchen's father, and when he returned home, his father beat him up.
Xi Xingchen was dissatisfied, so he went back to school and beat the classmate again, so the school called him daddy. Dad went home and beat Xi Xingchen again, and Xi Xingchen went back to school and beat that classmate again.
After going back and forth like this four or five times, the arrogant classmate and his family members were beaten down by Xi Xingchen. Finally, after the classmate was beaten by Xi Xingchen, he didn't dare to tell his parents, so the matter was settled. .
Dragons have reverse scales, and anyone who touches them will die.
After experiencing what happened to Dong Liangce's family, Xi Xingchen swore that whoever dared to touch the people around him again would make them pay an unimaginable price.
Chen Jie threatened Xi Xingchen with Zhou Qiaoqian's threat.
Xi Xingchen said coldly: "I tell you very responsibly, if you dare to touch a hair on my sister, I guarantee you will not survive today."
For a person who never speaks harsh words, if he becomes harsh, it will be a big deal.
"Just you?"
Chen Jie obviously didn't take Xi Xingchen's words to heart. He opened his arms with laughter and looked around in an exaggerated way, meaning there are so many of us, why do you fight me!
"It's up to me!" Xi Xingchen said.
After saying these words, Xi Xingchen, who was still a little impulsive, calmed down instantly, but the murderous intention in his heart became even stronger.
"And me!" Duan Zhenghua walked to Xi Xingchen's side firmly.
"And me!" Jin Bo also took a step forward.
"And me!" The young man who performed the storyteller also ran over, and behind him were five or six people dressed as students.
"And I..." The man chatting with the Lingnan businessman also stood up and walked to Xi Xingchen's side.
"And me!" A tanned porter picked up the pole and walked to Xi Xingchen's side.
"And I..." A woman pulled her husband, who was shaking with fear, and stood behind Xi Xingchen.
"..."
The power of example is infinite. Soon, everyone on the deck stood around Xi Xingchen, forming a confrontation with the bandits.
In fact, when it comes to how to survive, the people who have the most say in this world are the people living at the bottom.
Just like the people on this ship, they are not fools. Their hard-earned money has been robbed. Don't they want to resist?
of course not. Especially after seeing that Chen Jie wanted to kill the Lingnan businessman, everyone on the boat realized that these bandits not only wanted to rob money, but also wanted to rob women and kill people.
They also know that this kind of thing can happen to Lingnan businessmen, and it can also happen to them.
They know better that if they resist, there may be a chance of survival; if they don't resist, they will only be at the mercy of others.
But they just silently accepted the reality of being robbed by bandits.
In the final analysis, it's not that they don't want to resist, but that they are afraid of being shot first.
This is the herd mentality. Everyone is thinking that someone will come out to be the leader, and then follow him to fight with the bandits. In the end, no one stands up.
Just when they were desperate, Xi Xingchen stood up. For the sake of their wealth and lives, they naturally had to take a risk.
"And I..." A little boy with pigtails that reached the sky followed his mother, waving his fists and saying in a sweet voice.
"Now, I have more people than you!" Xi Xingchen looked at Chen Jie and said with a hint of joking.
Just now Chen Jie was saying that whoever has more people and bigger fists has the right to speak. Now Xi Xingchen will return it to him intact. Don't let this slap come too soon.
Chen Jie's face turned green and white for a while, with veins popping up on his face, and he said angrily: "There is no point in having more people. It depends on whose fist is stronger."
Chen Jie suddenly struck at Xi Xingchen with his knife.
Before Xi Xingchen could move, Jin Bo took a step forward and slapped Chen Jie in the face.
Jin Bo's palm was as fast as lightning. Chen Jie could only change his moves in a hurry and quickly raised his sword to meet him. Jin Bo's physical strength was astonishing, and this palm knocked Chen Jie back three steps.
"I kill you!"
Chen Jie became angry with shame, and the long knife in his hand turned into a bolt, slashing towards Jin Bo like mercury spilling to the ground.
Jin Bo looks tall and powerful, but he is extremely agile. He took a step to the side, passed Chen Jie's blade, turned around, and came to Chen Jie's side. He slapped Chen Jie on the head with a palm as big as a cattail leaf fan.
Chen Jie's sword missed and he knew something was going to be bad. Before he could change his move, he felt a strong wind blowing above his head. He was so frightened that one soul was born and the other two souls ascended to the sky. He hurriedly lowered his head, and then felt as if his left shoulder had been hit. With a heavy hammer, the whole person flew several meters away like a straw, fell heavily on the deck, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Chen Jie is also a ruthless person. After receiving two slaps from Jin Bo in succession, his fierceness increased. Regardless of his injuries, he jumped up like a carp.
"That's enough!" Just when Chen Jie was about to fight Jin Bo, Su Jichang called out to him.
