Li Hongmei had an ominous feeling as well. The bamboo grove was just down this road. There were usually birds chirping but they did not hear any today which make them feel uneasy.

"Maybe, we stop for a while and wait to see if there were others coming to the same direction. If someone comes, we can go together with them. How's this?" said Li Hongmei.

The two of them waited outside of the bamboo grove.

They did not see any other pedestrians coming over; instead, two men rushed out from the bamboo grove and one of the two was the bridgehead old man!

The bridgehead old man went all red from neck to forehead by waiting in the grove for a long time. Once he rushed out, he began to swear, "You two cows! You robbed away my business and made me a ridicule. With all these years, I have been making a living by selling cold jelly. What the hell are you two up to?"

And the other was a young man who looked like the old man's son. He scolded too, "I heard that you even insulted my pa by making up stories, some bullshit like he bullied you as a widow! It was you who bullied an elder man!"

Ye Xiaoxian saw the father and son bearing an enraged air and she knew that they could not be reasoned with, so she protect Li Hongmei behind her back and took shoulder pole in her hand. "What are you up to now?"

The son of the old man said, "There are two options for you. First, stop selling cold jelly from tomorrow; second, if you don't listen to me, I'll give you a good kick today. I'll take care of you every time you went to sell cold jelly!"

Ye Xiaoxian said with a sneer, "the town is not your home. I can sell whatever I like. It's none of your business. Now I'll give you two options as well. First, disappear right now from here. I'll let you go. Second, we aren't afraid of you just because you're men. If we really fight, I wonder who will end up being kicked ass!"

Li Hongmei saw that Ye Xiaoxian had make it definite and she had no choice but whispered drily, "Little Ye, actually we can compromise today and let Baoshan teach them a lesson tomorrow."

"Ma, we should teach them a lesson once for all or they'll think we're afraid of them."

"So do you know any kung fu? You've practised it before?"

"Nope. But showing an imposing manner before a fight is important."

"…"

The father and son saw Ye Xiaoxian's reckless manner and they were more furious. They picked up shoulder poles to strike onto Ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian held the shoulder pole, giving out a shout to boost her courage and rushed to these two!

Li Hongmei had no option but to rush towards them as well.

The two sides were about to confront each other; at this time, a piece of stick with a fierce gust of wind whirled and flew over, hitting the bridgehead old man on the knee, and the old man tripped, falling down on the mud on his face.

Before everyone even realized, another piece of stick flew over, hitting on the old man's son and he fell on the muddy ground as well.

Everyone was shocked and Ye Xiaoxian looked back subconsciously, glancing the tall and muscular figure of Xiao Baoshan appearing on the mountain lane. It was he who threw those two pieces of stick just now!

He must have practiced kung fu.

Ye Xiaoxian's heart fluttered towards Xiao Boshan again and it took her quite a while to suppress her pounding heart. She said to herself: 'Xiao Baoshan doesn't like you. He has someone in his heart already.'

"Baoshan, the man and his son were trying to hit us just now! How lucky we were as you were here or little Ye and I would be doomed. Alas, my heart was still thumping. Ma was so heavenly shocked." Li Hongmei put her arm in Baoshan's, taking him as a life-saving shelter.

Li Hongmei then said to Ye Xiaoxian, "Little Ye, aren't you afraid? Come near here to Baoshan, hurry up!"
