The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Hou Jie gently pushed open the mottled wooden door and stepped into the deep and winding alley.

The sun shone through the gaps, casting mottled shadows. A group of carefree children with childish faces were playing and fighting here. When they saw Hou Jie, some of them shyly dodged, while others boldly called him "Brother".

Hou Jie felt warm in his heart, and he took out a few candies from his pocket and distributed them to the group of enthusiastic and lovely children. This action seemed to open up the children's minds. In an instant, a group of children gathered around Hou Jie, vying to call him "brother". Hou Jie smiled and took out the remaining candies from his pocket, giving one to each of them. After receiving the candies, the children left happily, and the alley echoed with their childhood laughter. They were all children from poor families, and they might not be able to eat a candy for many days.

Hou Jie was walking while keeping an eye on the surroundings. Suddenly, his sight was drawn to a large group of people at the gate of the yard in front of him. They were chattering around, seemingly discussing something important.

Hou Jie's heart moved and he slowly approached the crowd. He didn't want to alert the enemy, so he chose to stand outside the crowd and listen carefully.

It turned out that the man in this family was stabbed several times by a drunk Japanese ronin on his way home. His injuries were serious and it seemed that he could not be saved.

Hearing this news, Hou Jie felt sad and angry. He knew this man, he was a hardworking and kind person. He always gave silently, but he didn't expect to encounter such misfortune.

Alone, Hou Jie quietly withdrew from the bustling crowd and slowly moved towards the path next to him.

He needed some time to calm down and think, so he found a quiet corner, sat down and fell into deep thought. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind that kind people should not be bullied. He stood up and walked out of the alley to the scene of the incident.

After finding out the identity and address of the assailant, he became more determined. He knew what he was doing and encountered injustice. If he didn't run into a neighbor, it would be fine. But now that he knew about it, he wanted to lend a hand, even if it was to avenge him.

At this time, Japan's national fortunes were declining, national strength was weakening, domestic politics was in turmoil, the economy was weak, and military power was stretched to its limits, making it difficult to effectively intervene in the complex affairs within the city.

Its rulers are doing their utmost to hold on to their last line of defense. They are extremely cautious about any actions that may cause further unrest and dare not act rashly.

After some twists and turns and preparations, Hou Jie entered the space, changed his clothes, and after a simple tidying up, he grabbed a handful of soil and gently wiped it on his face to cover up the traces or marks that might be recognized. This series of actions not only reflects his consideration for his own safety, but also reflects his cautious attitude towards the upcoming activities. He doesn't want to get into trouble and bring disaster to his family.

Arriving at Yanshan Trading Company, a large Japanese pharmaceutical trading company in the city, he bypassed the main entrance and went to a more secluded wall on one side of the trading company. He carefully pricked up his ears, listening attentively to the movements around him, and vigilantly paying attention to the surroundings to see if there were any unusual sounds or unusual smells.

The waiting process was long and agonizing. He kept adjusting his breathing and calming himself down until he was sure that the surrounding environment was safe enough. Then he jumped onto the high wall, and then nimbly jumped off the wall and landed steadily in the yard of Yanshan Trading Company. The whole process was done in one go, fully demonstrating his superb lightness and agility.

I had only taken a few steps when the world around me suddenly seemed to be slowed down. Every tiny sound was amplified, and every faint light became unusually bright.

At this moment, a unique figure not far ahead caught his attention—it was a person wearing a kimono.

This man was obviously drunk, he staggered, his body swaying, as if a gust of wind would blow him down. His hands waved wildly at both sides of his body, trying to find balance, but every attempt seemed to be in vain.

Seeing this man enter a room, Hou Jie, with his keen intuition and careful observation, speculated that he was most likely the culprit of the drunken murder. Faced with such a situation, Hou Jie rushed forward without hesitation. After entering the room, he locked onto the target with lightning speed and firmly grasped the other person's neck. With the sudden force of his hands, a crisp "kaba" sound was heard, which was as terrifying as the breaking of porcelain.

The man struggled a few times under Hou Jie's control, and his throat twitched like a sob, like a poultry with its throat pinched, revealing a desire for life in weakness and despair. However, under Hou Jie's iron determination and wrist, this struggle seemed so pale and powerless, and he could only succumb to the cruelty of reality and took his last breath. Then, he dragged the man to the corner of the room.

Hou Jie's entire action was smooth and coherent, without any drag, and his movements were precise and his strength was just right, showing his incomparable calmness and strong professionalism. He completed the task perfectly without leaving any traces, and the whole scene was handled by him in an orderly manner without any chaos.

Hou Jie walked to the door without hesitation and closed it quickly. Then, he began to search every corner of the house carefully, leaving no gaps where treasures might be hidden. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and his hands were dexterous and powerful. After a while, some precious items appeared in his hands one after another. He quickly put all the "trophies" he had collected into the space and continued to search for other valuable items that might exist.

Finally, Hou Jie tied the unlucky guy to the beam with a strong rope and made him stand on one leg in a very ironic and mocking way. This pose not only highlights the embarrassment and helplessness of the other party, but also perfectly interprets the concept of "one-stop service". I believe the Japanese must have had a wonderful expression after seeing this.

From binding to styling, Hou Jie took care of everything himself and completed it in one go, which not only satisfied his own bad taste, but also fully demonstrated his meticulous service spirit.

Hou Jie was secretly proud of himself. He thought, "When it comes to attentive service, I'm afraid no one in the world can compare to me."

Finally, he came to the door, took off his clothes, and put on an elegant kimono. This kimono not only showed his status and identity, but also showed his confidence and calmness. After waiting for a while, he opened the door and walked out openly.

He is now completely different from the past. After a long period of hard training and the blessing of space, his body has become extremely strong, and every punch and kick contains great power. His movements are swift and accurate, and often just one punch or one kick can cause disability or even death. This strength and confidence make him stand out from the crowd and come for revenge without fear of danger.
