Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

On the ice surface of Shichahai, the cold wind lashed people's faces mercilessly like a sharp whip, bringing bursts of stinging. The whole world seemed to be covered with a thick layer of white snow, silver-clad and beautiful. However, at this moment, there was no atmosphere of tranquility and peace here.

I saw a group of people gathered together, whispering to each other with different expressions, pointing at Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao who were standing in the middle, and making all kinds of discussions.

The cause of the incident was that these two ignorant guys flirted with girls in the snow, and accidentally provoked the most notorious and famous gangster in the area - Scar Li. Scar Li was a ruthless character, not only with a fierce face, but also with a long scar on his left cheek, extending from the corner of his eye to his chin, which looked particularly scary.

"Da Mao, go get Liu Yi over here! We might really get beaten this time!" Jia Dongxu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He nervously watched the crowd gathering around him and anxiously shouted to Xu Damao beside him. He knew very well that even though he was good at talking, he was definitely not the right person to fight. Looking at Xu Damao next to him, this guy was famous for being timid and cowardly. He was already pale with fear and at a loss.

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Xu Damao was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He widened his eyes and said in horror: "If I...if I leave, what will you do?" While speaking, he stared at Jia Dongxu with a worried look, as if he was afraid that he would meet with an accident if he turned around.

"Oh, don't dawdle! Go quickly! Don't worry, I'll be fine. It's in the supply and marketing cooperative in front, not far from here, and it only takes a few minutes to go back and forth, there shouldn't be any problem." Jia Dongxu tried to remain calm, waved his hands vigorously, and urged Xu Damao to leave quickly. In fact, he was not sure, but at this moment, only by finding Liu Yi as soon as possible, maybe there would be a glimmer of hope to resolve the terrible crisis before him.

Xu Damao nodded, turned around and ran away. He passed through the crowd and ran along the ice, looking back from time to time, fearing that Scar Li and others would catch up with him.

At this time, Scar Li led a group of hooligans to surround Jia Dongxu. They all looked fierce and cursed. Although Jia Dongxu was scared, he still pretended to be calm and tried to resolve the conflict with words.

"Brothers, this is all just a misunderstanding. We will leave now and not disturb you anymore." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Scar Li sneered and waved his hand to signal his men to take action.

At this time, Xu Damao and Liu Yi hurried over. They passed through the crowd and saw Jia Dongxu who was trapped. Liu Yi's eyes flashed with anger. He stepped forward quickly, pushed away a gangster, and protected Jia Dongxu behind him.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Yi asked in a deep voice. Although his voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Scar Li looked at Liu Yi, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous young man could have such a strong aura. But he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "Are you Liu Yi? I heard you are good at fighting?"

Liu Yi did not answer, but looked at Scar Li coldly. He knew that it was useless to say more at this time, and only strength could speak.

Scar Li saw this and stopped talking. He waved his hand to signal his men to start fighting, and a fierce fight began.

Liu Yi was agile and used both his fists and feet. He dodged left and right, skillfully avoiding the attacks of the gangsters while looking for opportunities to counterattack. Soon, he knocked down several gangsters.

Although Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu didn't know how to fight, they tried their best to help. They picked up the ice on the ground and smashed it hard at the hooligans. Although the force was not strong, it also played a certain deterrent role.

Scar Li was a little flustered when he saw his men falling to the ground one after another. But he quickly calmed down, waving the dagger in his hand and rushing towards Liu Yi.

Liu Yi was quick to grab Scar Li's wrist and twist it hard. With a "crack", Scar Li's wrist was broken. He screamed in pain and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the other hooligans retreated in fear. They knew that they were no longer Liu Yi's opponents.

Liu Yi looked at the mess on the ground and sighed. He walked over to Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu, lit a cigarette for each of them and started smoking.

"Are you okay?" Liu Yi asked with concern.

"It's okay! Don't worry about it!" Xu Damao waved his hand nonchalantly, with a big smile on his face. Jia Dongxu beside him also looked relaxed, patting his chest and saying, "That's right, what's a small injury? We are all strong men!" When the two looked at Liu Yi's worried eyes, a trace of warmth and touching flashed in their eyes.

Even though both of their faces were covered with bruises, their bodies had multiple scrapes and bruises, and their clothes were tattered and covered in dust, the sense of pride and gratitude towards their friends emanating from the bottom of their hearts was beyond words.

The three brothers held each other's shoulders and walked on the mirror-smooth ice with firm and slow steps. As the sun set, the orange afterglow fell on them, stretching their shadows very long. From a distance, their backs looked like three towering mountains, extremely tall and tenacious.

After finally arriving home, Liu Yi quickly found the medicine box at home without saying a word, and then carefully cleaned and treated the wounds of Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu. Xu Damao grimaced and endured the pain, and did not forget to make a few jokes; Jia Dongxu sometimes gasped when his wound was touched, and sometimes laughed out loud when recalling the thrilling moments of the day. The three of them talked about their experiences today while bandaging the wounds, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

"Oh my, today's event is so exciting! I feel like a hero!" Jia Dongxu danced with joy, unable to contain his excitement.

"That's right! If Liu Yi hadn't stepped forward at the critical moment, we might have been in trouble!" Xu Damao nodded with a smile, turned to look at Liu Yi who was bandaging the wound carefully, his eyes full of admiration.

Liu Yi listened to their words and smiled slightly, but his hands did not stop moving. He knew very well that everything that happened today was just a small episode in their long life journey.
