Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

After leaving the cemetery, Zhou Jin looked at the time. It was still early. He thought that if he went back he would just play mahjong, which would be a waste of such good weather today.

He glanced at Lou Xiao'e and his three sisters, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. "Let's go to Shichahai for a stroll."

Zhou Jin suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement, with expectant expressions on their faces.

Soon, they arrived at Shichahai, which was frozen at this time. The ice surface was like a huge mirror, reflecting the winter sun and shining with silver light.

There were a lot of people skating on it, and laughter echoed in the air.

As soon as Lou Xiao'e saw the people skating, her eyes lit up.

She has always loved ice skating. In previous years, whenever Shichahai froze, she would find a way to go ice skating. Even if Lou Bancheng sometimes did not allow her, she would still sneak out.

At this moment, her face was full of excitement, as if a child saw her favorite toy.

Zhou Jin looked at the happy crowd on the ice, and an urge to try it surged in his heart.

So she went to the shore and rented five pairs of skates. As a native of Sijiucheng, Yu Shui comes here to skate almost every winter, so she knows how to skate. She put on her skates skillfully with a confident smile on her face.

Xiaojiu was a high-level robot, so she could learn such low-level skills just by watching them a few times. She stood firmly on the ice, as if she was born to be one with the ice.

Then only Zhou Jin and Zhou Xin were left. They looked at the ice with curiosity and a hint of timidity in their eyes.

Next, Yu Shui and Xiao Jiu took Xin Xin out to play. The two of them held Xin Xin's hands and danced on the ice like light butterflies.

Lou Xiao'e was in charge of teaching Zhou Jin how to skate. Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhou Jin tenderly and said, "Don't be afraid, I will teach you."

She patiently explained the skating techniques and demonstrated them step by step.

Zhou Jin held Lou Xiao'e's hand tightly and tried hard to keep his balance. Although he was a little shaky, his eyes were full of determination.

They slid slowly on the ice, leaving behind a trail of happy traces.

Fortunately, Zhou Jin's physique was definitely not that of an ordinary person. After falling more than a dozen times, he was finally able to stand steadily without anyone to support him, and he could even slowly slide forward.

Then Lou Xiao'e helped Zhou Jin learn to skate and patiently taught him how to keep balance while skating on the ice. They slid slowly on the ice, as if they only had each other in the world, warm and sweet.

However, the tranquility was soon broken. A few gangsters appeared from nowhere. When they saw the beautiful Lou Xiao'e, their eyes lit up.

"Wow, this girl is so pretty!" said a gangster with a ruffian look on his face with a lewd look.

Lou Xiao'e frowned and looked at them with disgust: "If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

"Hey, don't be so fierce, just play with us." Another gangster smiled maliciously.

Zhou Jin's eyes widened with anger, and he protected Lou Xiao'e behind him: "Watch your mouths! If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude."

"Oh, you are quite arrogant!" The hooligans didn't take Zhou Jin seriously at all. "What can you do to us? We have decided to take this girl today."

The thugs became more and more arrogant and their words became more and more vulgar.

Zhou Jin was really angry at this time. He let go of Lou Xiaoe's hand and said to the gangsters: "Today I will teach you how to be a good person."

In a flash, the leading thug swung his fist at Zhou Jin, but Zhou Jin dodged the punch easily by moving sideways.

The thug missed his target and rushed forward due to inertia, almost falling down.

Zhou Jin took the opportunity to kick the gangster in the vitals. The gangster staggered and fell on the ice in a mess, curled up with a distorted facial expression.

"Come on together!" another thug shouted, and several people rushed towards Zhou Jin at the same time.

Zhou Jin's eyes narrowed as he observed their actions calmly.

A gangster attacked from the left, Zhou Jin quickly raised his hand to block, and at the same time raised his right foot and kicked the gangster's leg, causing the gangster to fall to the ground, holding his thigh and wailing in pain.

Then, another gangster swung a punch from the right. Zhou Jin squatted slightly to avoid the punch, then stood up suddenly and hit the gangster's chest with his elbow. The gangster was knocked back a few steps and sat down on the ice, losing his fighting ability.

Seeing this, the remaining thugs became a little timid, but still rushed forward.

Zhou Jin moved flexibly on the ice, dodging left and right, making the thugs' attacks fail again and again.

He seized an opportunity, grabbed a gangster's arm, twisted it hard, and the gangster screamed in pain.

Zhou Jin took advantage of the situation and kicked him in the knee, causing the thug to kneel on the ground.

The thugs who had been knocked to the ground before wanted to escape, but Zhou Jin would not give them the chance. He rushed forward and kicked the last thug to the ground.

At this time, all the thugs had lost their fighting ability and were lying on the ice, groaning in pain.

Zhou Jin looked down at them and said, "Stay still and wait for the police to come and take care of you."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes were full of admiration and pride, and she held Zhou Jin's hand tightly.

At this time, Xiaojiu and the others also came over, and Zhou Jin asked her to go to the nearest police station to report the case.

Twenty minutes later, Xiaojiu came with seven or eight police officers. After some questioning, they handcuffed the gangsters.

Because today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Jin and his companions were acting in self-defense, and there were so many people testifying, so they were not asked to go back to the police station to give a statement.

Instead, he took a statement on the spot, asked Zhou Jin and the others to sign it, and then took the gangsters away.

Although it can be considered as getting rid of a scourge for the people, today's good mood was still affected by this incident, and no one wanted to go skating anymore.

So Zhou Jin prepared to take everyone home. Fortunately, everyone had played for more than an hour, so it was not a waste of such good time. Besides, it was getting late, so it was just right for them to start cooking dinner when they got back.

However, after what happened today, Zhou Jin felt that it was the right decision for him to let Long Jiu come to protect Lou Xiao'e. Otherwise, if a situation like today happened and he was not by her side, Zhou Jin dared not even think about the consequences.

Half an hour later, Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e returned to the courtyard with their three younger sisters.

At this moment, the courtyard looks particularly quiet and warm under the warm winter sun.

As soon as they entered the house, they heard the sound of mahjong.
