The sun cast a warm golden hue upon the village as Li Xuehua, a now spirited 3 and 1/2 year-old, embarked on a seemingly ordinary errand. Her parents entrusted her with a simple task: to fetch fresh bread from the nearby bakery for their evening meal.
As she skipped along the familiar path, her anticipation grew. The scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, guiding her steps.
Unbeknownst to Li Xuehua, shadows lurked nearby—three bullies who delighted in preying upon the weak and defenseless. Known as Zhang, Liu, and Wang, this troublesome trio exuded an air of arrogance and superiority. Their eyes gleamed with mischief as they spied Li Xuehua clutching the precious loaf of bread.
Unwilling to let go of her prize, Li Xuehua tightened her grip and quickened her pace. But the bullies were relentless, closing in on their prey with menacing smirks. They reveled in the opportunity to intimidate and snatch the food from the young girl.
Meanwhile, Xin Tiu, a curious and kind-hearted six year old boy, happened upon the unfolding scene. His eyes widened in astonishment as he witnessed the plight of the beautiful child being targeted by the three bullies. A sense of indignation welled up within him, fueled by a desire to protect the innocent.
Drawing upon his father's teachings in martial arts, Xin Tiu stepped forward, his voice brimming with confidence. "Hey, leave her alone! What do you think you're doing?"
The bullies, initially caught off guard by Xin Tiu's unexpected intervention, exchanged glances before bursting into mocking laughter. Zhang, the ringleader, sneered, "Look at this little hero trying to play savior. We'll teach you a lesson, kid."
With a devious grin, Zhang launched a punch at Xin Tiu, seeking to assert dominance. However, unsuspected to the bullies, Xin Tiu possessed a hidden strength honed through his father's training. Swiftly evading Zhang's strike, he countered with a skillful maneuver, his well-practiced technique catching the bullies off guard.
In the midst of the confrontation, Li Xuehua remained a silent observer, her eyes focused and alert. An aura of mystery surrounded her, hinting at powers beyond her years. As Xin Tiu deflected the bullies' advances, a calm yet determined voice cut through the tension. "I can handle them."
The bullies, blinded by their own arrogance, erupted into laughter, dismissing Li Xuehua's words as mere childish bravado. Little did they know that within this young girl lay an extraordinary force waiting to be unleashed.
In a burst of lightning-fast movement, Li Xuehua materialized in front of Zhang, her eyes gleaming with an intensity that defied her age. With a swift and precise kick to Zhang's abdomen, she unleashed a power that sent shockwaves through his body. Zhang's vision blurred, and darkness consumed him as he crumpled to the ground, unable to comprehend what had just transpired.
The remaining two bullies, their bravado shattered, stood frozen in fear. Attempting to flee from the unexpected turn of events, they stumbled over each other in a desperate bid for escape. However, their feeble attempts were in vain. Li Xuehua moved with astonishing speed, incapacitating them with a series of calculated strikes.
Pak, pak, pak—the echoes of Li Xuehua's powerful blows reverberated through the air, leaving the bullies sprawled helplessly on the ground. The villagers who had gathered to witness the confrontation stared in awe and disbelief. How could a child so young possess such extraordinary prowess?
Amidst the astonished silence, Xin Tiu's jaw hung open, his eyes wide with amazement. The girl he had initially sought to protect had single-handedly dispatched the three bullies with astonishing ease. In that moment, he realized that he had witnessed something truly remarkable—an extraordinary display of strength and power that defied explanation.
As the dust settled, the chapter drew to a close, leaving Xin Tiu in a state of awe and wonder. The courageous acts of Li Xuehua had not only conquered the bullies but had also left an indelible mark on the young boy's heart.
