There was heat coming from the ground. Although it was weak and ordinary people would not be able to feel it or notice it, he detected it once he reached out his hand.
It was down there.
Wang Yao looked around. There were no shovels or pickaxes nearby.
Forget it, Iâll just use my hands!
He squatted down and began to dig. Since it was a mountain, there were soil and rocks. However, it was as if his hands were as hard as iron and stronger than steel. As his hands rapidly moved, dirt and rocks flew out. His body kept sinking. A pit soon appeared in the ground.
In the hot springs villa at the foot of the mountain...
âWhere has Sir gone?â Jia Zizai found Zhong Liuchuan and Pan Jun in the villa. He was bored. There was nothing fun in the villa. It was as bleak as an autumn day. The five of them were considered rare objects there.
âI donât know either.â
Just as he was talking, he saw a young boy with yellow hair and seven or eight young men coming toward them with sticks.
âWhat is this situation?â Seeing the people, Jia Zizaiâs eyes brightened.
âCome over here! Come over here!â He could not help but call out to them.
âWhat are you doing?â Hu Mei glared at him.
âIâm finding trouble. Canât you tell they are looking for trouble?â
âDamn it, where has he gone?â the yellow-haired young man muttered as he walked. He soon saw Jia Zizai and the others. To be exact, he saw Hu Mei.
âBig brother, that girl is very beautiful!â
âLetâs go.â
The young men walked over to Zhong Liuchuan with the sticks in their hands.
âHey beautiful, letâs get to know each other.â The yellow-haired boy grinned and posed in a way he thought was handsome and gentlemanly.
Ha-ha! Jia Zizai was amused. Someone actually dared to flirt with his wife in front of him. How brave of him!
This was like teasing a dragon or stroking a tigerâs whiskers. Words could no longer describe how much the young man was putting himself in extreme danger.
Hu Mei was discontented as she asked, âWhat are you excited about?â Someone was flirting with her, but her husband looked excited. Didnât that mean he had a problem?
Jia Zizai thought, At last, there is something to do!
âHey, you, yellow hair, youâre blatantly flirting with my wife. Has your brain been kicked by a donkey?â
âAh!â After hearing this, the yellow-haired young man was stunned. His eyes narrowed as he looked Jia Zizai up and down.
âYou are not local, right?â
âIndeed, I am not.â Jia Zizai nodded.
âThatâs good. How about you let your wife accompany our brothers to drink and have a good time? How does that sound?â
âYou are so arrogant. When I came here, I saw a banner hanging outside. I think it was placed there to keep out the village tyrants and ruffians. Are you committing a crime despite a law-enforcement campaign, or are you trying to die in all sorts of ways?â Jia Zizai lit a cigarette.
The yellow-haired young man and people behind him turned pale. Recently, the county had been quite strict regarding that. Quite a few people had been arrested in the nearby villages. They heard that the people who went in all became dejected. This group of young men were still young and did not know much. They thought it would be dignified to do that, but they also did not want to go to jail.
They just stood there facing an embarrassing dilemma.
Jia Zizai thought, Hit me! What are they just standing there for? He was waiting to fight back. He loved to bully bad young people.
âWhatâs the matter? Did you suddenly figure it out? Are you afraid?â
âUm.â Zhong Liuchuan shook his head. He decided to step away and no longer accompany Jia Zizai, who was trying to encourage trouble.
âWhat would I be afraid of?â The yellow-haired young man glared at him as his neck grew taut.
The young men were filled with energy and anger. They were quite susceptible to agitation.
âWell, I bet you guys are only good at talking. If you donât have the courage, you better just go back to drinking milk.â Jia Zizai waved his hands as he spoke.
âSon of a b*tch, beat him up! Iâll take care of any problems if something goes wrong!â
Upon hearing that, the yellow-haired young man could no longer stand it. He swung the stick in his hand toward Jia Zizaiâs head.
âThey have finally made their move! I could barely wait!â Jia Zizai excitedly exclaimed.
Hey!
Slap!
The yellow-haired young man was stunned by the slap that hit him. His cheeks began to hurt and burn.
Slap! Slap! Slap! As the crisp slaps continuously sounded, all the young men covered their cheeks with their hands. They stared at the man standing in front of them, who had a cigarette in his mouth and a devilish smile on his lips.
It hurts! It hurts!
Why is this man only slapping our faces?
âBoss, this guy is a trained martial artist,â a young man with a slightly normal brain said.
âWithdraw!â
They knew it was best to not fight when the odds were against them. They wanted to run away.
âWithdraw? Did I give you permission?â Jia Zizai was not happy. He wasnât even done with his warm-up. He had just had a little fun, so how could he let them escape so easily?
He took a step and stood in front of the young men, blocking their way.
âDonât go away in such a hurry.â
âWhat else do you want to do?â
âShall we play a little?â
âNo, weâre not free.â
âAh, werenât you guys quite cool just now?â
âBoring!â Zhong Liuchuan turned around and left.
âWait for me.â Pan Jun followed him. He had initially been worried about Jia Zizai. When Jia Zizai struck out, he could tell he knew kung fu and was quite proficient at it. Since Jia Zizai would be fine, there was no need to stay to see him bully young men.
The yellow-haired young man gritted his teeth. The arm holding the stick was trembling.
âWhy donât you guys try again? Maybe it was purely by chance just now.â
âGet out of my way!â The yellow-haired young man could not stand it any longer. He rushed toward Jia Zizai with the stick.
Slap! Another slap landed on his left cheek. It had happened to his right cheek before.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Whoosh! Whoosh! Little stars appeared in front of the yellow-haired young manâs eyes.
Iâm so dizzy!
The others could not help but feel a tingle down their spines. They knew that it hurt just by hearing the sound. They wondered if this big brother of theirs would be beaten silly.
âThatâs enough.â Hu Mei, who was standing at the side, could not stand it any longer.
âHow can that do? He wanted to flirt with you just now,â Jia Zizai replied.
âStand up. Letâs play a game of brain tease. Iâll ask you a question. If you canât answer within five seconds, Iâll slap your face.â
âThereâs a meeting in the forest. Who didnât come?â
â5, 4...â
âThe elephant,â a young man hurriedly said.
âWhy?â
âItâs in the fridge!â
âWrong,â Jia Zizai said.
The sounds of slaps followed. The other half of the other young menâs faces also received slaps.
âWho is it?â
âThe skunk.â
âWhy?â the young men asked.
âIt stinks too bad, so itâs not allowed to participate.â
âDamn it, what kind of reason is that?â The young men were stunned. What brain tease? This was not a brain tease. This was a prank.
âTime for the second question. Xiao Ming has three brothers. The eldest brother is Xiao Qiang. The second brother is Da Qiang. What is the third brotherâs name?â
The young men were all dumbfounded upon hearing the question.
Who could know the answer? It would just be whatever he said. They might as well not answer it. They would be beaten sooner or later anyway.
â5,4...â
âI donât know.â
âAh, heâs called Er Qiang,â Jia Zizai said. âWhat a simple question. How can you guys not know it?â
âRun!â
Someone shouted out. The young men all ran in different directions. Before long, each of them was on the ground.
Oh my, Iâve kicked a piece of steel!
Their faces were full of horror.
âSir, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me.â A young man knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. As soon as he spoke, someone followed him. The other young men all knelt in front of Jia Zizai.
âWhat is this?â Jia Zizai asked with a gloomy face. âThere is gold under a manâs knee. How can you guys be so spineless? Stand up, all of you!â
âOtherwise, Iâll keep slapping you guys!â
All of them quickly stood up.
âLetâs play another game. How about truth or dare?â
âWeâre still playing?â
âWhy? Do you have a problem?â
âWell, no, no problem.â
âTell me about your education background.â
âHigh school.â
âTechnical secondary school.â
âJunior high school.â
Jia Zizai sighed and shook his head. âYou guys are really something. Even I have a degree.â
âHereâs the question. Name six famous writers and their representative works in modern times.â
âJin Yong, the Eight Parts of Tianlong and The Legend of The Condor Heroes.â
âGu Long, Little Lee Flying Knife, and Lu Xiaofeng.â
âGhost Blows the Lamp.â
âWhat are those?â
Jia Zizaiâs expression was growing more ugly.
âWhat Jinyong? What Gu Long? What ghost blows the lamp? Itâs Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Mao Dun, Ba Jin, Lao She, and Cao Yu!â
Slap! Slap! Jia Zizai could not help but slap them.
Such actions were addictive.
