Right before our departure, an old man approached:
“I come from Sha Po, which is a bit far, so can I have the therapy today? I’ve brought the money.”
“I’m sorry, but the master has treated dozens of patients on this single day and is in need of a rest. Tomorrow would be more desirable.” Li Lijuan tried to explain that we are closing.
Unexpectedly, the man whispered, “There are people looking for you guys’ trouble. Do NOT leave now”, then intentionally raised his voice, “But it’s indeed a long distance! Sha Po, locates at least a dozen miles away. It’s quite a long way, you know, especially for my old shaky bones. Just, please.”
We were astounded, realizing that he was not here for treatment but for warning.
Li Lijuan, Huang Shulang, and Ma Jindong cast their glances at me. Of course, they are waiting for my instructions.
“Well, I guess there is little room for me to say ‘no’, then, and luckily I’m feeling better now”, said me, watching Li Lijuan reset the chair and ask the man to sit down.
He peeked at the bridge, “Actually I’m all comfy and healthy,” he lowered his voice, “I’m here because I saw several rats lingering around, drooling over your money.
You see that two standing at the other side of the bridge? They were sent by the others to keep an eye on you. Trust me. They are waiting for you to pa.s.s so that they can get you once you are there.”
I didn’t even turn my head, but already well aware of the two furtive degenerates. To be honest, I usually give this kind of people a complete disdain.
My friends, however, kept glancing nervously over the direction.
“Why worry, huh? Black Bean, come buddy, you know how to deal with them.”
Receiving my command, Black Bean started off leading his three mistresses.
As sensing danger is an animal’s instinct, Black Bean felt the hostility.
“Fxxk off, you crazy mutt!”
Black Bean and his little army silently trotted near the young men. The two smelled trouble in the air and tensed up.
However, the cursing words had little effect. Black Bean and his mistresses were still pushing forward. The two men finally lost their ground and scrammed, but Black Bean wouldn’t let them get away this easily. Like the gleam of black lightning, Black Bean rushed towards one of the men and bit his ankle. The sound of crashing bones was heard immediately. Black Bean is capable of hurting a warthog, not to mention how hard an animal’s bone can be, compared to that of human.
The man shrieked in agony as he rolling on the ground holding the ankle which was bit by Black Bean. Noticed what happened behind, the other one picked up a broom from the store besides him, emboldened himself facing Black Bean and his followers.
Black Bean growled and attacked, giving little attention to the broom in the man’s hand. Disapproving this unfair fight, the three b.i.t.c.hes – Hei Jin, Jin Do, and Huang Do – joined the fight immediately.
This time, because of his rebellion, this man was bitten even worse than the former one.
Huang Do even took a bite between the man’s thighs. The pain of crashing b.a.l.l.s rendered the man letting out a painful scream.
Heard the screaming, I stopped the ma.s.sage, “Sir, it’s finished. You can get up and move around to see if you are feeling better.”
The old man stood up, “huh, it does make me feel good. I’ll pay you now.”
“Really, there is no need to do so. You should head back home now, for the sun is setting down. You helped us this much and I haven’t even had a chance to repay your kindness. How can I still charge you for this?” Said me.
“Then you guys take care.” He left joyfully.
“What should we do, master? If we were robbed on our way back, with this amount of money, I fear that we can’t keep it safe.” Said Li Lijuan tensely.
Huang Shulang looked at Li Lijuan with scorn, “Coward. Girls can hardly help at all. We can even handle a 200 kg wild boar. There is no need to fear these burglars.”
Ma Jindong is very confident as well, “Agreed. I alone can fight two of them. If more… more are coming, I’m sure we can still handle it.”
I’m annoyed, “You two, shut your mouths. Otherwise, I wouldn’t bring you with me next time”

Ma Jindong and Huang Shulang wanted to keep mumbling but managed to keep silent when I glared at them.
Li Lijuan didn’t care their words, “Master, it’s always easier to get away from an open enemy than a hidden one. We should still raise our guard.”
“It’s ok. Let’s first deposit our stuffs in whichever store here.” I went up to a ramen restaurant located near Founder Bridge and asked the owner, he accepted our deposit with delight. Hunger stroked us, so we ordered ramen and had dinner there. Ma Jindong put his hand on the backpack, didn’t let go for a single second. All of the money I earned today was in it.
“Ma Jindong, give the backpack to me for a while. I’ve never carried this much money in my life”, Huang Shulang stretched out trying to get Ma Jindong’s backpack.
Of course Ma Jindong wouldn’t let him do it. He shook his head vigorously, “Nah…no. This is the… the mission that master… master gave me. Abso… absolutely no.”
“Huang Shulang, can you behave yourself or not? If you keep doing this I wouldn’t let you come tomorrow.”
Huang Shulang could do nothing but give up his attempt. He let it go.
“Alas, look at you. If you be a good boy today, I will let you carry the backpack tomorrow.” Hearing my words, Huang Shulang jumped with excitement.
“Let’s leave. I fear they wouldn’t give up this easily.” I said.
The two young men who were wounded by Black Bean have been rescued by their people. With the bleeding wounds on their body, they won’t let us get away. After all, they were bitten by dogs so they need fees for medical care. For sure they want to dredge the money out of me.
Just like what I predicted, after a few steps out of the bridge, there emerged people tailing us.
“Master, there are several of them catching up.” Huang Shulang glanced back and whispered beside me.
“Keep walking. Don’t look back.” I said.
“Tuk, tuk, tuk….”
A sudden chug of motorcycle rang behind us. Several motorcycles were roaring and charging towards us. There were five in total, each carrying two men. Although we recognized none of these visages, I had a feeling that they are targeting us.
The vast amount of payment that Song Guanglin gave us shocked them. For these outlaws, this was too much a temptation that they couldn’t say no. They considered robbing the money from us bunch of kids was no difference than taking a walk in the park.
“Ma Jindong, watch out!” I gave him a warning.
One motorcycle drove right beside us in a flying speed and rode along. The man sitting in the back seat suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Ma Jindong’s backpack. Thank G.o.d Ma Jindong heard my warning and guarded up. He ducked at the very moment the driver reached the backpack, merely avoided the hand.
