~5 min read 869 words

Su Xinghui and Li Zhongwen looked back and saw a few strong men walking toward them aggressively, pointing at them and shouting loudly.

A strong man in the lead pointed at Su Xinghui and said, "Who are you? Put down the net."

Li Zhongwen was about to reveal Su Xinghui's identity, but Su Xinghui pulled his clothes and stopped him. He said to the strong man, "It doesn't matter who I am. Why are you setting nets to catch birds here?"

The strong man said, "We have been setting nets to catch birds here for generations. This is our livelihood. If we don't catch birds, what will we eat? Why should you care?"

Su Xinghui said, "Do you know that there are national protected animals among the birds you caught? It is illegal for you to set nets to catch birds. If it is serious, you will go to jail. Aren't you afraid?"

Several strong men laughed loudly as if they had heard some funny joke: "Listening to your accent, you are also an outsider, and you still come to manage our business. You are really bold! How about this: considering you are young and ignorant, I will let you go today. You released a few birds just now. One hundred yuan per bird, let's say ten birds, you give one thousand yuan, and then set the net back as it was, and you can go."

Su Xinghui was so angry that he laughed. These people were really rampant!

"You have broken the law. Anyone can manage it. Are you really not afraid of going to jail?"

"Go to jail? Who dares to let us go to jail? Then you go and report it! Do you know that the director of the Jinxi Township Police Station is my cousin? Let's see who goes to jail? Young man, I advise you, don't get yourself involved for a little bit of business. Just pay the money."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Very good. You said the director of the police station is your cousin. Then you tell me, what is his name? Otherwise, if you say it so casually, who knows if what you said is true or false?"

The strong man said, "I'll let you know. My name is Lan Laosi, and my cousin is Mu Xingfa. You go and ask around if he is the director of the police station."

Su Xinghui nodded, but his hands didn't stop and were still collecting the net: "Alright, I remember. Your name is Lan Laosi, and your cousin is Mu Xingfa, right?"

Seeing that he was still collecting the net, the strong man couldn't help but get anxious. He rushed up a few steps and punched Su Xinghui: "You young man, you are so bold? Are you really not afraid of being beaten?"

How could Su Xinghui be hit by him? He unhurriedly hooked the strong man's wrist with his left hand, hooked his foot, and the strong man couldn't stand steadily, fell backward, and fell onto the beach with a thud, covered in mud and water.

When Su Xinghui spent his summer vacation at his uncle's house when he was a child, he often went barefoot with a few cousins to catch fish and shrimp on the river beach, so he was very adapted to this kind of beach. Therefore, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all fighting in such a place.

Seeing the strong man make a move, Li Zhongwen was about to shout to reveal Su Xinghui's identity, but he didn't expect that the strong man couldn't even pass one move under Su Xinghui. He was surprised and happy, but he didn't shout, instead stepping forward to catch the net in Su Xinghui's hand, letting Su Xinghui free his hands.

Seeing Su Xinghui knock down Lan Laosi, the other strong men shouted together and rushed up, wanting to gang up on Su Xinghui. But how could Su Xinghui be afraid of these few people? He just used a few kicks and punches to throw all these strong men onto the beach.

The ground of this beach was not hard, but the mud had been dried for several days, like rubber, with a kind of toughness. The technique Su Xinghui used was very clever. Everyone was hooked by his feet, flew into the air, and then fell heavily on the ground with their backs down.

Falling like this, although it wouldn't cause injury, the blood surging at that time was certain. Several strong men were groaning and couldn't move for a while.

Su Xinghui knocked these people to the ground, and a few fishing boats rowed toward this side. Several people got off the fishing boats and ran toward this side. Many people came down from the lake embankment and ran toward this side. Before long, more than 20 people surrounded Su Xinghui.

Among these people were local fishermen and bird watching enthusiasts. Several fishermen shouted aggressively: "Who are you? Why did you hit people?"

Li Zhongwen said, "Can you make it clear? They hit people first, and they didn't win."

Hearing that Li Zhongwen had a local accent, a fisherman asked, "Are you from Jinxi Township?"

Li Zhongwen said, "Yes."
