Chapter 227: The Power of the Bear!
Bai Ze Woman leaned against a courtyard, closing her eyes to rest.
Fortunately, Edo and New Tokyo were in a transitional era, with many places being demolished and rebuilt, leading to many residents being relocated and vacant houses becoming available for her to rest.
Ever since she decided to return, she had anticipated the current situation. Saying regret now would be inappropriate.
However, when facing away from Dundun, she would still reveal a look of vulnerability.
Having been to the Ming Country, witnessed the alliance, and now arriving in Yingzhou, there was an atmosphere of peace.
She liked the misty rain of the Jiangnan in the Ming Country, enjoyed the deep historical heritage that had accumulated for thousands of years, and appreciated the pavilions, towers, and magnificent mountains and rivers there.
She also liked the tolerance of the alliance country, admired the confidence of creating their own era, and appreciated the magical creations and diverse species there.
Perhaps she also liked Yingzhou, even though it was just a quick glance, but even this island country had unimaginable bustling cities.
Unfortunately, her hometown, her motherland, did not have this peace; it was still engulfed in the flames of war, with people dying every day.
Yes, after all, it was war.
What would it achieve if she were to return?
Bo Heya was right, she shouldn’t have come back.
She couldn’t interfere with or shake this level of military conflict; war was an extension of politics, an inevitable result of irreconcilable contradictions.
She was well aware of it.
Knowing what was in her heart was one thing, but knowing what to do was another.
Perhaps she simply didn’t want to become a joke, drifting away for ten years without returning while her homeland changed beyond recognition.
Various thoughts flowed through her mind, but in the end, she had to hide in an abandoned, soon-to-be-demolished house, enduring the pain of her wounds.
Whatever happened after she returned, it was beyond her imagination and ability to change. All she could do was go back and wait for death, but whether it was dying here or dying after going back, the significance would be completely different.
She still fell asleep, exhausted, her breathing weak and faint.
But the panda guarding outside did not.
Dundun looked at the sleeping Miss, who still furrowed her brows in pain, and suddenly muttered to himself.
"I’m sorry, Miss."
"I’m about to make a decision that goes against our ancestors…"
Bai Wei walked on the way back home.
He taught classes all afternoon. Miss Yuzi seemed to have recruited a new batch of students from somewhere, and they all appeared to be local women.
There were university students in their late teens , as well as professional women and housewives over the age of twenty.
Here is a little incident: this place is a newly built dining center. Because New Tokyo developed rapidly in this era, all kinds of shops sprouted up like mushrooms. Also, people didn’t pay much attention to what was next door. On the same floor, the first floor might be a nightclub, and the second floor might be a lingerie store. Therefore, the shops here were a mix of different types, and the customers and staff were as diverse.
Bai Wei passed by several times and witnessed some unsightly scenes to varying degrees.
Some intoxicated men would harass the staff in the izakaya because there were several nightclubs nearby.
Neon drinkers had the habit of moving from one place to another, and after getting drunk, they would acquire a lot of lawlessness.
He casually woke up some people, brought down a dozen troublemakers who came to drink, physically made them vomit, stripped their clothes, and made them dive to clear their heads, then he let this group of people go.
Afterwards, some of them regretted their actions and came to Izumi Dojo to seek apprenticeship and learn martial arts. As their demonstration of sincerity, they also incidentally mentioned some despicable activities happening in nearby nightclubs, including illegal drug transactions. After thinking it over, Bai Wei spent half an hour going in there and looking around. He brought a recording device and started using various techniques to extract information. With his professional skills, he easily deceived them. However, the person leading the way showed signs of mental instability, which forced Bai Wei to rush out with a nail file and call the police.
The person who arrived was Detective Matsushita, an acquaintance. He was reliable in handling his tasks, and the Yingzhou Police Department only cared about results. He sealed off this place and detained or expelled a large number of social vagrants. The owners of several nearby nightclubs were also not clean. Several times, Bai Wei deliberately paused while passing by their entrances, making the security guards nervous. Coupled with a decrease in customers, their business declined, and they had begun considering relocating or closing down.
As time went on, the public security in the vicinity actually improved quite a bit.
Miss Yuzi also demonstrated subjective initiative. She actively promoted and recruited students, and launched exercise programs suitable for adults.
Bai Wei happened to have learned Wing Chun, so he casually taught this group of women practical self-defense techniques.
Wing Chun was originally a martial art created for women, so it includes certain "practical" combat tactics.
Knowing self-defense is highly necessary because the mentality of favoring males over females, workplace harassment, and domestic violence are very serious in Yingzhou, just like in Goryeo Peninsula.
Being responsible for coaching meant that Bai Wei needed to correct each individual. He was not a person who would do things half-heartedly, but most of his students, typically geniuses and talented individuals, lacked patience when it came to ordinary people. However, he couldn’t slack off because others paid him. So, he tried his best to increase his patience for correcting their movements, all while tolerating the flirty behavior of certain female students.
Yuzi couldn’t bear it several times and came to help resolve the situation.
But her role was relatively small. In the end, Bai Wei gave her a signal, and several teenagers who were often at the dojo rushed over to help.
Before going home, he passed by a convenience store and bought a baguette and fried chicken meatballs.
It had to be said that baguettes were really good. The taste itself was also not bad, but it was easy to get addicted if eaten too much.
Just as he walked out of the convenience store and entered Kobunacho, not long afterward, a figure suddenly appeared ahead.
"Don’t move!"
"?" Bai Wei had just broken off half of the baguette.
"Robbery!"
To be honest, the public security situation in Yingzhou is not bad. Even the gangsters wouldn’t resort to straightforward robbery because doing business is more profitable than stealing .
This was the first time Bai Wei had been robbed after staying in Yingzhou for so long, but he quickly realized something was not right because the sentence spoken was in proper Ming Country dialect…
He took a closer look and, oh boy!
What do you think you’re doing?
That guy is not a person! Not even a thing!
A big panda, mighty and fierce, with a familiar clumsy look!
But being able to speak human language, it’s definitely not an ordinary panda, it’s at least a panda that can talk.
Bai Wei held a torn baguette in his hand, feeling a bit confused for a moment.
A panda on Yingzhou’s territory robbing a Ming Country person who lives in Yingzhou using the Ming Country dialect?
Excuse me, but, isn’t this a bit challenging to human imagination?
On the slope where the sunset descends, it should be the place to encounter love.
Bai Wei didn’t just encounter love, but instead, crashed into love, the kind that would almost crush him to death.
In the alley, there was a tall and chubby panda ahead, and a fierce man who broke a baguette barehanded behind, such a small road could accommodate such extraordinary individuals.
After a while, Bai Wei held up a half of the baguette and asked, "You want to rob this?"
"No!"
Bai Wei took out the uneaten fried chicken meatball, "Is it this?"
"Well, not that either…"
Drip! A droplet of saliva, unwillingly, fell down, reflecting the scarlet sunlight.
Bai Wei, "…"
"You misunderstood, I don’t want to eat that!" The panda said seriously, then wiped the corners of its mouth with its front paw.
Bai Wei, "Oh."
He picked up a meatball and threw it into his mouth, "Go on , I’m listening …"
The panda said seriously, "I’m actually robbing!"
"Mhm, what’s next?" Bai Wei said, "I only have these, but you need to have a basic strategy for robbing, right?"
"I…"
"Do you want to eat?" Bai Wei interrupted and asked, "Do you want one?"
"I…" Dundun fell into confusion, after all, it was his first time robbing, he was not very proficient in the business, and his mindset hadn’t changed yet.
It really wanted to shout at Bai Wei, but unfortunately, the meatballs in his hands smelled delicious… pandas are omnivores.
Its expression showed some struggle, some doubt, some astonishment, and some temptation.
Damn, my thoughts are all disrupted, I need to sort them out…
No, I should refuse him and make him cooperate with me, don’t think about playing tricks.
But these meatballs still smell really good.
After hesitating for a while, Dundun finally said, "Well, it’s not impossible."
