attacking short legs

The underground boxing ring is located on the back of the famous building materials market in the west of M City. Except for two old residential areas, there are rows of low front houses in the surrounding area. The boxing ring is hidden underground in a chess and card room.

The building materials market is usually only open until [-] pm. When it gets dark, no one can be seen in the building materials market, and there is no light at all, as if it is an isolated area.

Song Mu parked the car in the open space outside the building materials market, and walked towards the chess and card room with Duan Yu.

The chess and card room is facing a lively side street, and there is a narrow alley between the lottery shop next door. Pass through the alley and go around to the back door of the chess and card room. The entrance to the underground boxing ring is at the corner of the back door Next to it, there is a staircase that secretly extends underground.

There were two fierce-looking men standing by the entrance, one of them was holding a cigarette in his hand, chatting and laughing with his companion, seeing Song Mu and Duanyu coming, he raised his hand holding the cigarette , pointing at the two of them and asked: "What are you doing?"

"I came to watch the game." Song Mu remembers what Zhao De told the gatekeeper when Zhao De brought him here.

Because the underground boxing ring is illegal, the person who opened this place was very cautious about the people coming and going, and sent two people to watch at the door.

The man looked at Song Mu and Duan Yu carefully, and after putting down his guard, he winked at his companion, who then moved away from the entrance to make way for them.

"Thank you." Song Mu smiled politely at the man, and walked down the stairs with Duan Yu.

The stairs are made of iron. Every time Song Mu and Duanyu step on the stairs, the stairs will make a dull thumping sound, and even shake slightly, giving people a very weak feeling.

The stairs spiraled downwards. Judging from the height, the terrain of this underground boxing ring is very low. The further you go down, the more turbid and thin the air you breathe in, and a little depressing.

Before the two had finished going down the stairs, they heard a burst of cheers coming from the light at the exit of the stairs. The two glanced at each other and quickened their pace out of curiosity.

"Hit him hit him!"

Just entering the arena, such shouts almost pierced Duanyu's eardrums.

Across the crowd in front of him, he saw a ring in the middle of the basement, on which stood two men wearing boxing gloves and licking their upper body.

Both of them were sweating profusely, and beads of sweat hung on their bodies, dripping down their waists like a waterfall. One of them had been bruised from the beating, and he barely stood up by relying on the rope behind him.

The man in the victor's posture stood in the middle of the ring, stepping in small steps, and constantly beckoned and challenged his opponent, which also made the people watching the game more excited and passionate.

"Fight back! You are useless! I have all my money on you!" Several white paper coupons were thrown out by its owner.

One of them floated to Duanyu's feet. He picked it up and saw the bet amount, odds and object, and a red seal, which was the name of this underground boxing ring.

Duan Yu raised his head and glanced at the crowd that surrounded the ring, each of them was flushed with excitement and shaking their fists at the contestants on the ring.

The air was filled with blue smoke, and many people had cigarettes in their mouths, making the air in this closed basement even more turbid.

Duanyu was already sweating after standing for a while, but Song Mu quickly integrated into the atmosphere of the scene, staring at the naked hand-to-hand fight between the two on the stage, completely forgetting the purpose of his trip.

"Song Mu?" Duanyu called him, his voice was quickly drowned out by the shouts around him, and Song Mu didn't respond to it.

"Song Mu!" He yelled into Song Mu's ear again, and patted him on the shoulder, "Are we just watching like this!?"

"Ah, that's right!" Song Mu came back to his senses, pulled Duanyu out of the crowd, and walked towards the back of the ring, "Did you see that? That's how they fight, you think about it ?”

"So for a while, I will go on stage to fight others like this, and if I win, I will get money?" Duan Yu asked.

"Yes." Song Mu stopped at the door of a room behind the ring, and looked at Duanyu seriously, "This place is all about real fights, and those people have real skills, you should think about it clearly."

"I also have real skills." Duanyu smiled confidently, "Are we going to sign up?"

"Yeah." Song Mu nodded, pointed to the door behind him and asked, "You know the risks, are you sure you want to go in?"

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of." Duan Yu left Song Mu behind and strode to the door.For money, he can go all out, and he has worked so hard since he was a child.

There was a sound of mahjong coming from behind the door. Four men gathered around a mahjong table, all of them were smoking cigarettes, touching cards in their hands, and looked at Duanyu and Song Mu in unison.

"We are here to sign up." Duanyu said calmly, looking at the men on the table.

One of the men with a thick gold chain around his neck stood up and looked at Duan Yu with his head tilted.There is a long scar on his face, which is not a good thing at first glance.

"Do you know the rules?" the man asked.

"What rule?" Duan Yu turned his head to look at Song Mu, who also shook his head.

"Sign and draw, you are responsible for life and death." The man took out a piece of drawing paper from under the table, slapped it heavily on the table, and said domineeringly: "Whoever you want to go up to fight, whoever will sign, and see the rules clearly. .”

Duan Yu stepped forward and took a look at the drawing paper, and signed his name on it without hesitation.

The man picked up the drawing paper and looked at it. He was so surprised that the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground, "Your name is Tyson Rabbit!?"

"Yes." Duan Yu nodded solemnly, and Song Mu on the side could only hold back a laugh, not daring to make a sound.

"I'll go." The man sneered, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I don't care if you are Tyson or Tyson Rabbit, anyway, this name is signed by you, we will only recognize this, come to us under a pseudonym It's not that there are people who make money here. You are lucky tonight, there are two champions here, as long as you win a game, you can get 5 yuan."

"So simple?" Duan Yu smiled, "When will I be able to take the stage, I'm in a hurry."

"Hehe, your shelf is quite big?" The man smiled at the other people on the table, and said to one of the poker players leaning against the cabinet, "Get him a pair of gloves."

The poker player nodded, took out a pair of black boxing gloves from the cabinet that had worn off a lot of skin, and handed it to Duan Yu: "Take off your shirt."

"Why?" Duanyu took the gloves and asked.

"Did you see that the people on the stage are wearing shirts?" The poker player flicked his cigarette ash, exhaled a mouthful of smoke rings, and squinted his eyes in the dense smoke and said, "It's all for your own good, so that you won't be clean after a while." Get out of the clothes, besides, if you fight in tight clothes, the audience will not be interested in watching it."

"It seems like I've never seen someone beat him with clothes on." Song Mufu whispered in Duanyu's ear.

"Okay." Duan Yu nodded, took off his shirt and handed it to Song Mu, "Help me take care of my clothes."

"En." Song Mu nodded, looking at Duanyu's body, really sweating for him.Compared with those strong men on the stage, his body looks weak and vulnerable.

"Isn't this a chicken for nothing!" The people at the card table couldn't help mocking when they saw Duanyu's thin and tender upper body, "Young man, you have a body like yours, so forget it Well, money is more important than life."

"Don't worry, I won't be hit." Duanyu sneered, glanced at him disdainfully, and put on boxing gloves for himself.

"The tone is not small." The man with the thick gold chain looked at Duan Yu coldly, "Are you ready?"

"All right."

"How do you want to fight? Do you want to fight with a challenger like you first, or fight with the champion first?"

"You can fight as much money as you want."

"That's the ringleader?" The man with the thick gold chain cocked his lips at the poker players behind him, and said to them in a strange way: "He's coming to the stage in a while, you have to hold your phone, lest the 120 call be late."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people at the card table burst into laughter.

"Are you going or not?" Duanyu looked back at the thick gold chain proudly.

Duan Yu didn't pay attention to these people at all, and the words that spewed out of their mouths didn't reach his ears. He had seen a lot of things like judging people by their appearance, and seeing people as inferior with their dog's eyes. .

"Just be proud, you will suffer later." The man with the thick gold chain muttered with a sneer, and followed Duan Yu and the others to the side of the ring.

Just after a fight in the ring, Juan Yu, who was already in a slump when they first entered, was lifted off the ring by several staff members. He looked badly injured, with a bruised nose and face, unconscious.

Holding Duan Yu's clothes, Song Mu smacked his lips sympathetically as he watched the person being carried down, and then watched Duan Yu walk onto the ring with heroic eyes.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!" The thick gold chain stood on the stage and yelled, "This is today's new challenger, Tyson Rabbit, and he is about to challenge our champion from the day before yesterday, Meng Hu, welcome! Everyone bet enthusiastically! Super high odds, 1 to 10!"

"1 to 10! If you win, you will get rich!" Someone booed immediately from the audience.

"I can't buy this skinny at 1 to 100! If he can beat Meng Hu, I will swallow the boxing gloves in his hand!"

This was immediately heard by Duan Yu, and he followed the voice to find the owner who said this, a young man with messy hair, their eyes just met, Duan Yu said to him: "You Don’t break your promise just now.”

As he spoke, he sniffed the boxing gloves on his hand, wrinkled his nose, and said provocatively to the young man: "These gloves don't smell very good."

The eyes of all the people present immediately focused on the young man. Seeing that he couldn't get off the stage, the young man straightened his back and raised his chin and said: "I always keep my word! You win if you have the ability! A joke! Bet all your wealth on Meng Hu!"

"Okay!" Thick gold chain Ying shouted, clapped his hands and said: "5 minutes betting time, hurry up everyone, the game will start in 5 minutes!"

As soon as his words fell, people flocked to the staff in charge of betting.

Seeing him, Song Mu hid Duan Yu on the stage and secretly fiddled with his pockets. He didn't know what he found, smiled triumphantly, and ran to the betting crowd to join in the fun.
