Sensing his gaze, I also looked back at him unflinchingly.
Sha Biao, truly lives up to his name, both in appearance and his gaze, gives off an extremely robust feeling. However, I was not afraid at all. As the saying goes, the righteous are bold and confident. I examined my conscience and found that I had not done anything wrong in this matter. There is no deceit in my heart, so I can be upright and unafraid, what is there to fear?
"Heh…"
Seeing this, Sha Biao couldn't help but smile, then walked directly towards me, showing great interest, "You are Wang Lin, right?"
As I saw him approaching, I instinctively stepped forward, shielding Director Han firmly behind me. I nodded and said confidently, "Yes!"
On the surface, I remained calm and composed. But in reality, I was full of apprehension. After all, this person is Uncle Sha's son, and it's obvious that he's not a good guy. Who knows if he would make a sudden move? What if he snatched away Director Han's police gun? We would be in big trouble.
However, what surprised everyone was that Sha Biao came in front of me and directly clasped his hands together and sincerely said to me, "I'm sorry! My father was wrong in this matter, and I apologize on his behalf to you!"
After speaking, Sha Biao even bowed directly to me and Director Han.
"This..."
To be honest, I was puzzled by his sudden change. Wasn't he just acting arrogant and ready to fight a while ago? But now…
Not only me, even the Miao family men around were dumbfounded and looked at Sha Biao with uncertainty. Uncle Sha was particularly angry and said, "Biao, what are you doing?"
"Don't listen to the nonsense of that kid from the Zhang family. These two are here to slander me on purpose... How can..."
"Shut up!"
Before Uncle Sha could finish speaking, Sha Biao angrily interrupted him, "Do you want to stir up more trouble?"
"I have told you, don't get involved in such messy stuff! Look at what you've done while I was away for just two days."
"I..."
Under his son's harsh scolding, Uncle Sha was immediately speechless. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he could only glare at me and Director Han before leaving in a huff. How could he not be angry? Being scolded by his own son like a child...
"Hehe…"
Watching Uncle Sha leaving, Zhang Ge approached me with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is the 'leader' of the Bapo Township Miao Village, the famous Biaozi Brother! In the entire Bapo Township, basically, he's the one in charge. Especially in this village, the words of the township head might not have much weight compared to his!"
As he spoke, Zhang Ge patted my shoulder and said, "Don't worry! Unlike others, Biaozi Brother is known for helping strangers. Now that he's back, no one will cause trouble for you guys!"
I could tell that Zhang Ge and Sha Biao had a good relationship. As for the "leader" he mentioned, it should probably mean the head or leader. No wonder he dared to speak this way to his father. If this were in my family, my parents would have given a double scolding...
Shaking my head, I was not very interested in this. I directly exchanged a glance with Director Han, ready to leave here.
Although Sha Biao helped us get out of the situation, this village is a place full of trouble. We should leave as soon as possible. Now it's Uncle Sha, if later someone like Zhang San or Li Si shows up, we won't be able to bear it...
However, just as we were about to leave, Sha Biao suddenly stopped us and asked in a deep voice, pointing to the gate, "Are you leaving?"
"Yes!"
I nodded, but couldn't help raising an eyebrow with a teasing expression, "If not, do you want to treat me to a meal?"
"Heh..."
Sha Biao squinted and smiled, "A meal is fine, but before that, shouldn't we address the matter of you hitting someone? After all, this is the Miao Village of Bapo Township. If someone is hit, we should give an explanation. Otherwise, how am I, the 'leader,' going to face the relatives and friends in the village?"
"Huh?"
As soon as he said this, Zhang Ge was dumbfounded, and he hastily said, "Biaozi Brother, what do you mean? I just told you..."
Raising my eyebrows, I cut off Zhang Ge directly and calmly said, "So, what do you think I should do to explain it to you, Leader Sha?"
Sha Biao glanced around and then pointed to an empty space in the middle of the village, saying, "You are good at fighting, probably have practiced. I also have practiced a few moves. We could exchange a few. If you win, this matter will be settled, and I will treat you to a meal. What do you think?"
"Uh, this doesn't seem right. It's better not to..."
Hearing that Sha Biao wanted to fight me personally, Zhang Ge was taken aback and quickly tried to dissuade Sha Biao, shaking his head at me. It was obvious that he wanted me to refuse this proposal, but unfortunately, I was going to disappoint him.
Without any hesitation, I nodded instinctively, "Alright, let's do it!"
To be honest, I was also full of anger that I couldn't vent. I hadn't even asked him what would happen if I lost.
Since you want to fight, then I'll accompany you in a fight. I take life and death lightly. If you're not convinced, let's do it! Since I reached the foundation-building stage, I haven't had a proper bout with anyone else. This Sha Biao looks very strong. It's a good opportunity to test my skills!
"Good! Courageous man!"
Seeing that I readily accepted his proposal, Sha Biao couldn't help but smile and then pointed to the open space in front, "Please!"
"Let's go!"
Sure, here is the faithful and accurate translation of the given text:
Still, I have to say, this Shabiao is quite to my taste, straightforward and not lacking in integrity. Even if he wants to bully me, it's all out in the open. I'd rather be a real villain than a false gentleman!
As soon as both sides entered the arena, the surrounding crowd had already gathered, layers upon layers, almost blocking the space on all sides, and there were even some do-gooders climbing onto the roof to watch.
"Come on!" Shabiao was also straightforward. Just as he stood firm, he made a starting gesture, then waved at me with a great general's demeanor!
"Be careful!" Since that's the case, I certainly won't be polite with him. I warned him and took a step forward, throwing a punch at his chest!
To be honest, I've never really practiced any martial arts.
Shabiao said he practiced "Zhuangjia Ba Shi," but that was just modesty. I, on the other hand, was a genuine practitioner of Zhuangjia Ba Shi. And this bit of Zhuangjia Ba Shi was all learned from Lao Zhangtou or Xia Xiaoyi!
But it's okay. The moves are not about being exquisite, they just need to work! As Deng Xiaoping once said, it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it catches the mouse, it's a good cat. Why bother with so many exquisite moves? Being able to knock down the opponent is more important than anything else!
"Black Tiger Gropes for the Heart?" Seeing my punch heading towards his chest, Shabiao couldn't help but be stunned. Subconsciously muttering, he then quickly reached out his hands, using the "Open the Door and Bow to the Thief" move, directly entangling my fist.
However, my punch appeared to be at full force, but it was actually just a feint. This was, after all, the first time I had fought Shabiao, so I had to test the waters.
Seeing his palm entangling my fist like a chain, I suddenly stopped my steps, changed the punch's direction, and fiercely struck towards his right arm!
Shabiao's reaction was undeniably fast. He quickly changed his move, suddenly slapping out with his right palm as if to engage me in a direct confrontation! This was exactly what I wanted. With just a few moves of "Zhuangjia Ba Shi," if I had to go back and forth with him move for move, it would have been like asking for trouble. My only chance was to confront him head-on and strive for a quick decision!
The wind from Shabiao's palm was whistling, my fist was almost twenty centimeters from his palm, and I felt a sense of restraint. It felt as if I were faced not with a person, but with an impenetrable wall!
I'm competitive and refuse to lose, so I immediately stomped the ground, directly mobilizing the qi in my body, concentrating it all in my fist!
Suddenly, a huge force spread through my arm, and it seemed as if my whole fist was enveloped in an invisible flame. It might have been just an illusion, but it seemed as if I could hear the crackling of the air. The surrounding audience was amazed.
"Hmm?" Sensing the change in my fist, Shabiao's face immediately revealed a hint of seriousness. Without any hesitation, his other hand quickly reached out too!
Bang! With a muffled sound, Shabiao directly retreated a few steps, stumbled at his feet, and fell to the ground. I also took two steps back, but I didn't fall, although my face turned somewhat pale.
After all, I had just established my foundation, and the qi in my body was still quite limited and unstable. And for that one blow just now, almost half of the qi within me was drawn out in an instant. At this moment, I felt a sudden weakness throughout my body.
But my blow had truly stunned the Miao family men around me, all of whom had their faces changed. Especially those who had just fought me, at this moment, they were even more frightened, as if they had just realized that I had actually gone easy on them before.
