Zhong Kui's Diary
"That stinks!"
Zhou Mazi poked his head out from the garbage heap, taking deep breaths, his face covered in grime, feeling nauseous.
"Don't shout so loud; if you don't want to die, hold it in!" Scar Liu glared at Zhou Mazi, cursing him in a low voice. His anger made the scar running from his brow to his chin look particularly menacing.
This was a temporary dumping site outside the city, piled high with trash—old, smelly socks, rotten watermelon rinds, and even used condoms... Zhou Mazi and Scar Liu had buried themselves in this filthy refuse.
In the distance, a piercing siren sounded, causing both Scar Liu and Zhou Mazi to turn pale with fear. They held their breath and buried their heads back into the stinking garbage.
On the road, three police cars with flashing lights came to a stop but seemed to find nothing and quickly sped away.
Once the sound of the sirens faded, the two cautiously lifted their heads, gasping for air, their faces even dirtier than before.
Zhou Mazi attempted to get up, but Scar Liu quickly shouted at him to stop. After more than a minute had passed, Scar Liu finally shook himself off gently, crouched down to look around, and said quietly, "Alright, it's safe now. Let's go!"
Hearing this, Zhou Mazi immediately scrambled up and frantically cleaned off the dirt on himself. His actions drew scorn from Scar Liu: "Damn it, is that all you've got? You can't even handle this little bit of dirt."
Annoyed by Scar Liu's comment, Zhou Mazi retorted, "So according to you, those who rummage through garbage for scraps are the successful ones?"
Scar Liu snorted in response and pointed at a bulge in the corner of the garbage pile: "Look, Nan can endure more than you."
Zhou Mazi wiped his face with his sleeve, making his already filthy face look even worse. Angrily he said, "We're just fugitives; is that more interesting than this?" He then walked over to the corner and kicked at the bulging trash pile, shouting angrily, "Nan! Get up; we're leaving!"
The pile of garbage remained still. Zhou Mazi and Scar Liu exchanged glances, both surprised that there was no response. Scar Liu cursed under his breath and stepped forward to kick it hard. A red trash bag flew up into the air, scattering various bones and vegetable scraps around, but there was no sign of anyone beneath the garbage.
"Hey? Where's Nan?" Zhou Mazi exclaimed softly.
Scar Liu was equally astonished; just half an hour ago, they had hidden in this trash heap when they were cornered. Scar Liu clearly remembered that young man named Nan hiding right in this spot.
"Could he have been caught?" Zhou Mazi trembled as he spoke.
"Are you deaf? Do you think we wouldn't know if the police took him away?" Scar Liu spat.
"But..." Zhou Mazi started to say but fell silent. He saw a young man emerge from behind a large tree in the distance, with strikingly handsome features and a cheerful smile as he walked towards them.
"You two have really done well to hide for so long in this garbage heap," the young man said as he approached Scar Liu and Zhou Mazi, his expression relaxed and joyful, as if he were meeting two old friends after many years.
"Who are you?" Scar Liu shouted, flipping his hand to reveal a sharp spike made from a toothbrush. It was this very spike that he had used to pierce the guard's wrist before knocking him out, allowing the three of them to escape.
"My name is Xu Fengxiao, a patrol officer from the Red Flag Police Station at Qingxiu Branch in Star City." The handsome young man smiled and extended his right hand, seemingly wanting to shake hands with Scar Liu.
"Go to hell!" Scar Liu thought fiercely and thrust the spike towards Xu Fengxiao's eye with lightning speed.
Before entering prison, Scar Liu was the leader of the Dragon Tiger Club in Qingxiu District of Star City. This position was earned through his own strength, and if one were to select the top ten experts in the Dragon Tiger Club, Scar Liu would undoubtedly be on that list, and not at the bottom. His thrust was executed with such speed, precision, and ferocity that even someone knowledgeable would be left in awe.
At the same time, Zhou Mazi also threw a punch aimed at Xu Fengxiao's head. Seeing Scar Liu act decisively, Zhou Mazi naturally wanted to cooperate; he didn't care whether this constituted assaulting an officer. They had already escaped from prison—did they really need to worry about that charge?
Zhou Mazi was confident in his punch; he could easily shatter five stacked bricks with a single blow if he wanted. He believed that with his and Scar Liu's combined efforts, Xu Fengxiao would soon become a corpse.
As the spike rushed towards him and Zhou Mazi's fist came crashing down, Xu Fengxiao raised an eyebrow, slightly tilted his body, and casually reached out with his right hand to grab Scar Liu's wrist. With a pull and a tug, Scar Liu lost his balance and stumbled towards Zhou Mazi. At that moment, Xu Fengxiao smiled and released Scar Liu's wrist while pushing him from behind. Because of this push, Scar Liu's spike jabbed straight into Zhou Mazi's abdomen just as Zhou Mazi was unable to retract his fist in time.
"Bang!"
Zhou Mazi's fist struck Scar Liu's face.
"Thud!"
Scar Liu's spike pierced into Zhou Mazi's abdomen.
Zhou Mazi let out a shocked scream, crouching on the ground while clutching his stomach, cold sweat pouring down his face. Meanwhile, Scar Liu had already been knocked unconscious by Zhou Mazi's punch and lay motionless on the ground.
Xu Fengxiao looked at his palm with a smile, seemingly satisfied with his actions. He calmly addressed Zhou Mazi, "How does it feel? Does it hurt? If it does, why not come back to prison with me? At least there will be someone to help bandage your wounds there, right? The outside world may seem exciting, but it can also be quite helpless."
Zhou Mazi gritted his teeth and glared at Xu Fengxiao, cursing loudly.
Xu Fengxiao raised an eyebrow and smiled as he walked towards Zhou Mazi, reaching out to grab him with a gentle expression, as if he were pulling a cute child rather than a dangerous escaped convict.
At that moment, an unexpected change occurred.
Two plastic garbage bags suddenly flew up from the pile of trash behind Zhou Mazi, hurtling towards Xu Fengxiao. Xu Fengxiao's expression changed, and he instinctively took a step back, raising his hands in front of him to shield himself. However, the two garbage bags burst open in mid-air as if controlled by someone, showering Xu Fengxiao with banana peels, apple cores, and other trash like raindrops.
Xu Fengxiao shouted angrily and pushed off the ground with his legs, leaping backward just in time to evade the barrage. Even in this sudden situation, he moved with remarkable grace.
As Xu Fengxiao retreated, there was a loud explosion from the garbage pile, scattering various pieces of trash everywhere.
Amidst the fruit peels, paper scraps, bones, and vegetable leaves, a figure shot out from the trash heap, head first and feet trailing behind, using its head as a weapon to crash into Xu Fengxiao's chest like a cannonball.
Xu Fengxiao sneered and swung his right fist towards the figure's head. His punch was far more powerful than Zhou Mazi's; it even whistled through the air.
Just as Xu Fengxiao's fist was about to hit the figure's head, the figure swiftly extended its right hand and grabbed Xu Fengxiao's wrist, yanking hard as if trying to throw him to the ground.
Xu Fengxiao shouted angrily and pulled back forcefully while simultaneously retreating quickly.
Unexpectedly, the figure's pull was just a feint. Seeing Xu Fengxiao retreating, it moved forward like a leaf in autumn wind, pressing directly against Xu Fengxiao's chest and striking him twice on the chest with both palms.
With a roll of his eyes, Xu Fengxiao instantly fainted and collapsed to the ground.
The whole exchange happened in a flash; Zhou Mazi had not even reacted when Xu Fengxiao was already lying on the ground. Looking at the figure, Zhou Mazi exclaimed in surprise, "Nan! It's you!"
The figure turned around, revealing a broad forehead, large eyes, a high nose, and a lazy smile at the corner of his mouth that gave off an air of indifference. Even though he was covered in dirt at that moment, his demeanor resembled that of a noble gentleman dressed for a royal banquet.
"Wow! It's only been a little while since we last met, Brother Zhou. You look good—rosy cheeks!" The young man named Nan laughed heartily as he helped the pale Zhou Mazi up. He examined the wound and noticed that there was still a sharp spike from Scar Liu embedded in Zhou Mazi's abdomen. After a moment of thought, he looked slightly surprised at Zhou Mazi's back and said, "Huh? Who are you?"
As Zhou Mazi turned around in confusion, Nan swiftly reached out and pulled out the spike from Zhou Mazi's abdomen with one hand while quickly covering the wound with his other hand. The two actions were executed seamlessly and at incredible speed.
Feeling a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen, Zhou Mazi let out a scream and turned around, gasping for breath with a twisted expression, cursing in a mix of dialects. Nan only smiled and didn’t mind, casually throwing the sharp object on the ground and telling Zhou Mazi to press down on his wound himself. Then he tore off two strips of cloth from his own shirt and roughly bandaged Zhou Mazi, patting him on the shoulder with a smile, "Fortunately, it didn't hit any internal organs; it's just a flesh wound."
He then turned and squatted next to Scar Liu, checking for signs of breathing. After a moment, he pressed firmly on Scar Liu's philtrum, and soon Scar Liu groggily regained consciousness.
Looking around in confusion, Scar Liu scratched his head and asked what was going on. Zhou Mazi explained the situation, and Scar Liu spat in disdain, picking up the sharp object from the ground. He wobbled to his feet and walked toward Xu Fengxiao, seemingly intending to poke him a few times to vent his frustration.
Nan quickly grabbed him and said with a smile, "Liu Ge, don't be impulsive! I only managed to take him down by surprise. If you poke him now and wake him up, what will we do? Besides, this guy might have already contacted other police officers. We should leave quickly!"
Scar Liu thought about it and spat at Xu Fengxiao again in frustration. "Damn it, this guy got off easy. Let's go!"
Zhou Mazi clutched his stomach and angrily shouted, "Where are we going? Scar Liu, you better clarify where you're taking us! Back in prison, you said once you got out, everything would be on you... Now look at this! You brought us to rummage through garbage and almost got me killed by that cop. Is this what you meant by everything being on you?"
Scar Liu huffed in response, "What are you so anxious about? I need to make a call first! Like I said before, as long as I can get in touch with Boss Feng from the Dragon Tiger Club, everything will be fine!"
Nan cheerfully chimed in, "Zhou Ge, stop complaining! I'm counting on Liu Ge to take me somewhere nice to eat!"
As they spoke, the three of them supported each other and staggered away.
