1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

.............................................................

Yi Zhonghai was caught off guard by Sha Zhu's fierce kick, losing his balance and falling heavily to the ground. Instantly, he felt as if his chest was struck by a powerful force, causing a violent surge inside. His originally steady breathing rhythm was disrupted, becoming unusually rapid.

He subconsciously tried to cough, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't cough at all. The feeling of suffocation made him more and more uncomfortable. His face gradually turned red, and the veins on his forehead bulged, and he looked very painful.

At the same time, Jia Zhang on the other side was also not spared. She was lying on the ground in a miserable state, with a look of pain on her face. When she finally recovered and turned to look at Yi Zhonghai beside her, she couldn't help but be shocked.

Yi Zhonghai clutched his chest tightly, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but the voice that came out was so hoarse and difficult: "I... I feel a blockage in my throat, as if... as if I'm holding back a mouthful of blood!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang's eyes widened, and she was stunned. Being kicked by Sha Zhu and vomiting blood, this injury was obviously not light! Furthermore, Yi Zhonghai still hadn't been able to spit out the blood in his throat at this moment, which was even more distressing.

You know, this situation is too dangerous. If the blood is not spit out in time, it is likely to lead to more serious consequences. Thinking of this, Jia Zhang was extremely anxious and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Jia Zhang's face was filled with panic. She hurriedly shouted to Yi Zhonghai, "Master! You have to hurry up! Spit out all the blood in your throat! If you don't, your condition will be too dangerous!"

While shouting, Jia Zhang kept waving her hands, as if this could urge Yi Zhonghai to move faster.

After hearing Jia Zhang's urgent words, Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat. He was immediately frightened and panicked. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his face turned pale as paper.

However, Yi Zhonghai had experienced a lot of things after all. Although he was afraid at the moment, he still forced himself to calm down. He hurriedly followed what Jia Zhang said and tried hard to spit out the blood that had accumulated in his throat.

Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt an unbearable itching in his throat, followed by a series of sharp, dry coughs. While coughing, he repeatedly patted his back with his hands, trying to relieve the discomfort.

Time passed minute by minute, and Yi Zhonghai was still struggling to fight the discomfort. Finally, after a long period of tossing and turning, he gradually felt as if there was a mass of foreign matter surging in his throat, as if it could burst out at any time.

"Hmm..." Yi Zhonghai frowned and thought to himself: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the blood clot stuck in my throat, right?" Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, gathered all his strength in his abdomen and throat, and prepared to spit out the damn blood clot at once.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened, his cheeks puffed up like two small balloons, and he exerted all his strength to suddenly - "Pooh!!!"

Finally, Yi Zhonghai used up all his strength and coughed violently. With a muffled sound, a mouthful of thick phlegm surged up from the depths of his throat and then slowly flowed out from the corners of his mouth. This mouthful of thick phlegm seemed to condense all the filth in his body. Its color was dark like yellow wax, its texture was thick like grease, and it exuded a nauseating stench.

Jia Zhang, standing nearby, was stunned upon seeing this scene. Her tense nerves instantly relaxed, but then came a wave of speechlessness and helplessness. She stared at the disgusting mouthful of phlegm in disbelief, muttering to herself, "I thought this old man was going to spit out blood, but after all this time, it's just phlegm!"

Yi Zhonghai, however, looked as if he had completed a difficult task. He stared at the thick phlegm he had just spat out, stunned for a moment, then burst into a silly laugh. He lay sprawled on the cold ground, scratching his head repeatedly as he explained with embarrassment, "Oh, I'm so sorry. Um... I really thought I was going to cough up blood, but it turned out to be such a foul-smelling, thick phlegm!" He felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but laugh dryly.

When Jia Zhang heard Yi Zhonghai's words, she rolled her eyes at him fiercely and said unhappily, "Old Yi, you're such a pain in the ass! I've been so worried about you for so long, and all you get is a mouthful of phlegm? Humph!"

Here, Sha Zhu watched helplessly as the two people lying on the ground began to flirt with each other as if no one was around, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited a little more.

Just now, Sha Zhu had mercilessly kicked the two men, sending them sprawling to the ground. But who could have imagined that they would have the leisure to be so affectionate and flirting with each other? This was simply a naked contempt and provocation for Sha Zhu!

Sha Zhu clenched his fists in anger, his knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force. His steps were heavy and slow, as he approached the two men on the ground. Meanwhile, his already unattractive face darkened even more, and he gnashed his teeth as he roared at the two men:

"You two old fools, you're already lying on the ground like dead dogs, yet you still dare to be so playful and frivolous in front of me! Do you really think I'm a fool and easy to bully?"

"Hmph! Don't think you can get away with this! Hurry up and stand up! Those two kicks just now were just a small lesson. Today, I'm going to beat you into submission no matter what!"

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai finally came to his senses as if waking from a dream. Oh my god, he almost forgot about the serious matter of fighting with Sha Zhu!

Yi Zhonghai shuddered and, exerting all his strength, quickly climbed up from the ground like a loach. Then, while frantically brushing off the dust on his body, he turned anxiously and shouted to Jia Zhang, who was still lying on the ground beside him and refused to get up:

"Old sister-in-law, please get up quickly! We can't just sit there and wait for death!"

Jia Zhang blinked a few times, as if waking from a dream, and finally came to her senses. Her fat body twisted with difficulty, her huge buttocks jiggling back and forth, like a clumsy penguin trying to stand up. After a lot of effort, she staggered to her feet.

"Oh my! Uncle, look at this Sha Zhu, his leg skills are really amazing! We have to be very careful!" Jia Zhang yelled at Yi Zhonghai while panting.

Then, she lowered her voice again, and whispered mysteriously into Yi Zhonghai's ear: "Uncle, wait a moment, you just fight a few moves with Sha Zhu in front seriously. Attract his attention, and I will wait for the right opportunity to sneak up behind him and launch a surprise attack. Hehe, this way, I'm sure we can deal with this guy!" As she spoke, Jia Zhang raised her chin triumphantly, as if she had already seen the beautiful scene of victory in sight.

Yi Zhonghai's gaze fell on Jia Zhangshi, and he saw her face, thick with flesh, twisted with some calculation. He couldn't help but frown. He thought to himself: How could this Jia Zhangshi be so ungrateful, actually wanting to use him as cannon fodder? In the past, with his temper and status, Yi Zhonghai would never have agreed to such an unreasonable request.

However, things are different now. Even if the two of them join forces, they are probably no match for Sha Zhu. If they don't follow Jia Zhang's arrangement, they will not even have the slightest chance of winning. Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded to indicate his agreement with Jia Zhang's proposal.

"Well, since things have come to this, let's do as you say. In a moment, you can go around to the rear and launch a sneak attack, but remember to be nimble and move as fast as lightning, otherwise I won't be able to hold on here for long alone." Yi Zhonghai warned with a serious face.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang hurriedly patted her plump chest and made a solemn promise, "Don't worry, sir. How could I bear to watch you get beaten up by that idiot Zhu? When I attack later, I will use all my strength and increase my speed to the maximum to achieve a swift and decisive victory!"

At this moment, Sha Zhu stared at the two people in front of him with disdain, as if he was looking at two extremely stupid idiots. It turned out that the conversation between the two people just now had not escaped Sha Zhu's ears. Every word they said was transmitted to Sha Zhu's ears clearly.

Standing right in front of him, plotting a sneak attack, they showed him no regard for a living being. It was simply blatant contempt! Thinking of this, Sha Zhu was furious. He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from excessive force. It was obvious that he was fully prepared for another fight.

Sha Zhu's eyes were wide open as he shouted at the two men, "Stop dithering, both of you. Come at me if you can!" His voice exploded in the air like thunder, shaking the surrounding air.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Zhu unhesitatingly swung his powerful fists, lunging at the two men like an enraged lion. Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai, who had been closely watching the situation, saw this and quickly turned to Jia Zhang, shouting, "Sister-in-law, prepare for a sneak attack! I'll rush over and block Sha Zhu head-on!"

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's cry, Jia Zhang suddenly panicked and nodded hurriedly, saying, "Okay, sir, I got it! I'll go around from behind and hug that idiot Zhuzi." As she spoke, she began to move her body with staggering steps, trying to get around behind Sha Zhuzi and launch a sneak attack.

At this thrilling and crucial moment, a figure came rushing towards him like a gust of wind. Upon closer inspection, it was Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong rushed all the way and rushed directly into the middle of the three people who were on the verge of a fight. He stretched out his arms without hesitation and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Stop it!"

Because Liu Haizhong's appearance was too abrupt, the fist that was originally raised high and ready to hit Yi Zhonghai almost injured Liu Haizhong by mistake because of this sudden change. Fortunately, before the powerful fist was about to touch Liu Haizhong's body, Sha Zhu, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, withdrew it with lightning speed.

Sha Zhu's heart tightened at first, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear. He muttered to himself, "Fortunately, fortunately, it was so close to hurting the Second Master. If something had really happened, what would have happened?"

However, when Sha Zhu came to his senses, a hint of anger appeared on his face. He frowned, looked at Liu Haizhong with a slightly dissatisfied look, and said in a stiff tone: "Second uncle, please get out of the way. This matter today has nothing to do with you. Don't meddle in this!"

Over there, Jia Zhang was tiptoeing around, planning to sneak up from behind and launch a sneak attack. But just as she was about to succeed, a figure moved in like lightning, firmly blocking her path. It was Liu Haizhong!

At this moment, Jia Zhang's face flushed red with anger, and the rage in her heart seemed to be about to burst out. She stared at Liu Haizhong with her eyes wide open, breathing heavily. Then, she could no longer suppress her anger and shouted impatiently at Liu Haizhong, "Second uncle, get out of my way! Today's matter is a grudge between me, First uncle, and that idiot Zhu. It has nothing to do with you! Be smart and stay out of my business!"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai, who was standing aside, frowned tightly, nodded seriously, and echoed Jia Zhangshi in shouting to Liu Haizhong: "Old Liu, you'd better get out of my way! Don't get in the way here!"
