"Me? I'm here to sell herbal medicine!" Liu Ergou said, unstrapping the carrying basket from his back and setting it down nearby.
"Xiao Rou? What's going on?" he asked. "If I remember correctly, you should be at school right now. Why are you back?"
As the two spoke, veins popped on the foreheads of the five men watching them. What do these two think they're doing?! Are they pretending we don't exist?
"Brother Er Gou, school's on vacation!" Xiao Rou had barely finished answering when the five men could no longer hold back.
The man with a rat-like face cursed at Liu Ergou. "Damn it, you country bumpkin! How dare you ignore us!"
"You dare interrupt us while we're getting to know this little lady! Since you're asking for it, we'll poke a few holes in you today to teach you a lesson!"
As soon as the rat-faced man finished speaking, the other four men simultaneously drew small knives from their waists. They aimed them at Liu Ergou, ready to attack.
