Chapter 41 Neil Was Beaten Up

Neil hurried home, drenched in sweat, panting from exhaustion, took a few breaths, and suddenly felt a little dry, so he called the refrigerator to see if there was any fruit or water, but there was none. And now his parents are not at home, there is no water to drink, and when his parents go out in the morning, they didn’t give him any money. He wants to drink the water from the tap, but his parents have always told him that the raw water in the tap is not drinkable. , the tangled and helpless Neil wandered back and forth in the living room.

After he lingered for a while, he decided to search around the house to see if he could find five cents or a dollar and go downstairs to buy a few bottles of mineral water to drink.

Neil rummaged through the living room, but couldn't find it, so he went to his parents' bedroom to rummage. After searching for a while, he found dozens of dollars in the drawer next to his parents' bed, but Neil didn't take much. After taking a dollar, I closed the door and went downstairs to buy water.

Neil is quite familiar with this area. He knows where there are vendors and where to buy things. He clearly remembers in his mind that there is only one vendor in this area, and he fled back to the middle of the alley before.

As Neil ran downstairs, he prayed in his heart not to meet Tofu and his brothers.

He walked down the stairs, and saw that the sky, which was still a little bright before, suddenly became very dark. It was still at noon, but it was as dim as dusk and sunset, as if a storm was about to come.

Neil was still not frightened by the dark sky, and continued to run towards the vendor with a dollar in his hand.

He didn't run very far, when the sky began to rain mercilessly. The unstoppable rain was mixed with lightning, thunder and howling wind. It made him gasp for breath, and it was difficult for him to breathe. He still wiped the rainwater off his face with his hands, gritted his teeth, and ran towards the store with his hands clenched tightly against the wind.

When the heavy rain came, Neil originally thought that Tofu and his brothers had been scared away by this ****, but most of the time, God likes to joke with you, and made a series of unimaginable coincidences, so that you It's hard to escape, you have to bear what you should bear after all, and you can't escape.

The heavy rain had caused all pedestrians on the street to hide, and only Neil was still running desperately in the entire alley.

Because he thought that his parents hadn't come back yet, and it was raining so hard, he had to buy them back quickly and send them an umbrella. Thinking of this, he ran towards this store even more desperately. At this time, his whole body The top and bottom were mixed with rain and sweat, and it was hard to tell whether it was rain or sweat.

After another 5 minutes or so, Neil, who was already drenched, rushed into the store in a hurry.

He rushed in without looking at the boss, but wiped the rain and sweat from his face and hair with his hands vigorously: "Uncle, how many bottles of mineral water can I buy for one dollar?"

The store owner heard that the voice sounded like Neil, so he quickly looked up to see if his ears had deceived him. Seeing that it was indeed Neil, he responded with a smile: "Neil, you can buy five bottles of mineral water for one dollar." .”

The vendor owner looked at his drenched body, and continued with concern: "By the way, you are drenched all over, are you cold?"

Neil shook his head firmly: "It's not cold, uncle, can you fill me with five bottles of water sooner? Because when I get home, I have to send umbrellas to my parents."

The store owner nodded to him, then tore off a plastic bag to fill him with water.

Neil scanned the store with his eyes. Amidst the pattering rain, Neil could vaguely hear the voices of many people talking in the store room, but he couldn't hear what they were talking about.

After a while, the store owner handed the five bottles of mineral water in a plastic bag to Neil with a smile. Neil took the plastic bag with his left hand, and handed the dollar he was holding tightly to the boss with his right hand, smiling at him. Laughing, he carried it and ran out of the store.

Tofu and his brothers originally wanted to hide from the rain in this store and leave as soon as the rain stopped, but who expected Neil to come to buy water, it seems that he should be unlucky today.

They have been watching Neil all the time. Seeing Neil leaving with water, they rushed out of the storage room. Tofu was afraid that the store owner would ruin their good business, so they threw him a dollar and said thank you. Followed his brothers to chase Neil.

The store owner saw that today's incident was a bit strange. They clearly said they were hiding from the rain before, but now the rain is still heavy and has not stopped. Neil went out with his front foot, and they left with his back foot. It must be bad for Neil, but the rain is so heavy , and the kid gave me another dollar just now, I'd better not bother with this kind of nosy business.

Since Neil was carrying five or six catties of water in his hand, he couldn't run fast at all, and he also heard someone chasing him in the dimness, the sound of footsteps splashing rainwater, and the pace was quite rapid, Neil turned his head quickly Come and see, seeing that it was TOEFL and the others, they turned around and ran desperately.

Tofu reminded his brothers loudly from behind: "Don't let him run away now."

"Yes... Boss!"

Amidst the deafening thunder and rain, Neil heard such cruel orders from Tofu, and wanted to take a shortcut to escape their claws, but because the street was so bad and full of potholes, Neil accidentally choked on a paving stone, He fell heavily to the ground, kneeling hard on the stone road, as if injured, holding the water in his hand, and was thrown far away, he gritted his teeth firmly, panicked, enduring the pain of knee injury , I still want to pick up the water and run for my life.

But he endured the pain, and before he could pick up the water that fell on the ground, he was surrounded by Reddy's brothers.

Neil stood up straight. In fact, he couldn't calm down for a long time, but he still put on a calm expression and glanced at his brothers. He deliberately strengthened his tone and tried to occupy the top of his body and said, "What are you doing around me?"

"You shouldn't be pretending. You actually hit our boss with a basketball before. Fortunately, we reacted quickly and avoided it."

"It's all avoided, what are you still doing around me?"

"It's not smashing, but your behavior is too bad."

"You can't blame me. Your boss is too crazy. Unlike you, I am his dog's henchman, but he orders me. In order to protect my dignity, of course I have to fight back."

"Okay, you're amazing, boss, this kid doesn't know how to repent." They stared at Neil and nodded, then turned their heads to glance at Tofu and said.

"Why are you talking so much about him? Beat him hard for me."

"Yes……"

As soon as he answered, he punched and kicked Neil. Neil didn't want to be slaughtered like this. While dodging and defending, he clenched his fists to fight back, but because he had just been thrown, his knees were in severe pain. Does not kick high.

Under the urging of his father since childhood, Neil has developed good muscles. Even though his feet and knees have been injured, he is tall, has big fists, and is very quick in response and quite flexible. It was difficult to hit him with a single punch, and occasionally he could only hit one or two punches, but his whole body was too muscular to hit him, so dozens of punches in quick movements knocked several of Tofu's brothers to the ground.

After Neil was knocked down, he also threw his hands in a more arrogant manner, and said with a smile, "It's just that!"

Tofu was very upset to see Neil being so arrogant. As the boss, he also thought that he could flex his muscles and let him see that being the boss is not in vain.

When Neil was still immersed in the joy of the groans and screams of the eight or nine people who had just been defeated, Tofu flew towards Neil with a scud, and the force was so strong that Neil was kicked down with one leg. ground, and then pointed to Neil to his brothers, who moaned and stretched their sore waists, stood up slowly, and limped towards Neil who was knocked to the ground After punching and kicking Neil until his face was swollen, Tofu ordered to retreat.

Tofu vented his anger, took his brothers, and left at the risk of death.

After they left, Neil was paralyzed in the rain and groaned in pain. His face was bruised and purple, and there were bloodstains at the corners of his mouth and nose. His whole body hurt. He crawled to pick up the mineral water he bought, wiped the corners of his mouth and With blood on his nose, he limped home with water.
