Chapter 5: The Mountain Stronghold Hero Saves the Beauty
"It's dawn, I'm here, hurry down." A shout came from downstairs.
Gao Tianming stuck his head out of the window and saw a fat man shouting downstairs.
"I'll be right down, wait a minute." Gaotianming shouted downstairs.
"Mom, I'm going out with Wenfeng to buy a tracksuit. I'll be back for dinner tonight." Gaotianming said to his mother and then ran downstairs.
Wang Wenfeng is quite tall, about 178 cm, but his weight is way over the standard, at around 180 pounds. In middle school, he was actually pretty normal and even a bit handsome, attracting many young girls. Unfortunately, times have changed.
"Fatty, can't you lose some weight?" Looking at Wang Wenfeng standing there, constantly wiping sweat, Gao Tianming said silently.
"You don't understand this, do you? Now being thin and tall is too common, I'm a bit chubby, but I'm chubbily handsome, I have a stylish figure. I'd rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox, if I'm going to do it, I'll be the most handsome chubby guy." Wang Wenfeng said with a proud face.
"You're just making excuses, I just found a martial arts master today and I'm going to start learning from him tomorrow, do you want to come?" Gao Tianming recommended to Pangzi.
"Not going, after exercising, what if I exercise all this beautiful meat away?" The fat man said with a mouthful of debt.
Gao Tianming was driven to distraction by Pangzi, and directly dragged him to the commercial street.
Getting off the bus, Gao Tianming and Pangzi walked into a sports brand store. The shop assistant came forward enthusiastically: "May I ask, what would you like to buy?"
"He wants to buy a tracksuit and shoes, you help him pick one out." Gaotianming only had time to say one word before the lines were all snatched away by Pangzi.
"Alright, this way please." The waiter said with a smile.
……..
Looking at myself in the mirror, my clothes and shoes look pretty good. Because I haven't gone out much during the summer vacation, my skin has become a lot fairer.
Looking at the face in the mirror, "Why hasn't it become handsome? Even being struck by lightning didn't make it handsome. Can't the genes be optimized and adjusted a bit?" Gaotianming muttered to himself.
"Alright, I'll take this set." "Thank you for your patronage, the total is 420 yuan. Here's the receipt, welcome to visit us again next time." Holding the receipt, Gao Tianming felt a sharp pain in his heart, things are really too expensive nowadays.
After coming out of the store, Gaotianming and Pangzi sat down on a bench under a big tree. They used to do this often in the past, chatting while appreciating beautiful women as they passed by.
"Daybreak, university students have all read for three years, still no girlfriend?" Fatso asked with ill intentions.
"You're not asking this out of ignorance, are you? You're just here to poke at my sore spot, you annoying guy." Gao Tianming said gloomily.
"It's not me saying you, your technique of picking up girls is really too bad, look at you, 23 years old already, say, are you still a virgin now? Haha, if I said it out loud, nobody would believe it." The fatty shamelessly sneered.
"You damned fatty, I'm just defending myself..." Gao Tianming's words trailed off as he stopped mid-sentence, furrowing his brow and staring at a girl walking down from upstairs.
"Never seen a beauty before, one look at her and I'm speechless." The fatty chuckled.
The girl has very fair skin, wearing a pair of shorts and a short T-shirt that shows off her figure perfectly. She is carrying a white handbag in her left hand.
Gao Tianming wasn't staring at the girl because she was pretty, but because a scene had flashed into his mind.
A man wearing a duck tongue hat suddenly rushed out from behind the girl, grabbed the white handbag and tried to snatch it away. Unbeknownst to him, the strap of the handbag was tangled with the girl's hand, causing her to be dragged 2 meters. The thief did not let go but instead pulled out a dagger from his pocket and cut off the strap. Passersby who had witnessed the robbery wanted to help, but upon seeing the dagger, they were frightened and watched as the thief escaped. Everything happened in a flash.
"Robbery!"
"Ah?" Ga Tianming's sudden words confused Fatty.
Everything happened as if it were in his head, the hijacker appeared and cut off the strap. Rushing towards the direction of high sky dawn.
When the hijacker pulled out the dagger, he was about 7 meters away from Gao Tianming. An ordinary person could have run over in a little more than one second with acceleration.
Gao Tianming was still sitting on the bench, pretending to stretch his waist and stretching out his legs. The bandit had rushed over, probably didn't notice Gao Tianming's feet, just accelerated to speed up to the fastest, and immediately bumped into Gao Tianming's feet. The result can be imagined, the bandit flew out 4 meters away, the dagger in his hand fell even farther.
The passersby were all stunned, and Gao Tianming still maintained his stretching pose, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
The hijacker fell too hard and couldn't get up. Passersby found that the dagger was no longer in the hijacker's hand, and several young men rushed out to pin him down, then started calling the police.
The girl who was robbed stood up and checked her injuries. Her arm was just a little scratched. The girl looked at her handbag, which had just been snatched away and now returned to her, looking somewhat bewildered.
The girl walked up to Ga Tianming and said, "My name is Lin Luxue. Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, my handbag would have been snatched away, and I wouldn't have suffered this abrasion in vain." The girl smiled as she spoke.
Looking at Lin Lüxue's beautiful face, Gao Tianming was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Hello, my name is Gao Tianming, he is my friend, Wang Wenfeng. I just happened to be lucky earlier, all I can say is that evil people will get their retribution. You have an injury on your hand, why don't we accompany you to the hospital to take a look?"
"Thank you for your concern, it's just a minor injury, I'll go myself later, so as not to trouble you. I have something else to attend to, I'll leave first, see you later." Lin Luxue politely declined.
"Then, goodbye."
Watching the girl walk away, the fat guy who had been holding back finally couldn't help but speak up, "Tian Ming ah, you did a good job saving the beauty, but why didn't you ask for her phone number? You don't even know this basic move, no wonder you can't find a girlfriend, sigh~ what a pity."
The fat guy with a single eyebrow obviously forgot what Gao Tianming had just said.
"This is you repaying kindness with ingratitude." Gao Tianming retorted.
The commotion on the road has returned to normal as before. Today's incident will probably become a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.
Gao Tianming and Pangu walked on the road for a while longer, until it was time for dinner in the evening, then they each went their separate ways home.
Back home, Gao Tianming didn't mention the robbery he encountered on the road to his parents. His father and mother were ordinary people who did not want their son to experience such a dangerous thing, they just wanted him to live a peaceful life. Gao Tianming also didn't want them to worry.
…….
Lying on his own bed, Ming Tian began to habitually think about things. His expectations for tomorrow's martial arts training, and his yearning for the future.
