Back To The 80s-Chapter 327 - 337: A Glance (860 more monthly tickets added)_1

Bai Xiaolan curiously watched the people lying on the ground. Despite shivering from the cold, they were still persistently trying to absorb the spiritual energy, some even hugging an ancient tree to do so.

The azure sky, the biting cold air that made one feel refreshed, and the occasional pigeons flying by in the sky, made Bai Xiaolan feel a sense of freedom.

She strolled around happily, watching the old people spinning tops and flying kites.

Seeing a large crowd heading towards a corner of the park, Bai Xiaolan followed and discovered a temple fair.

In front of the fair stalls, the vendors had already started preparing. Some set up their tents and stages, while others had already arranged their products for sale. There were Capital City’s Rabbit Lord toys, Huguo Temple’s snacks, tripe, lamb skewers....

Stalls for storytelling and comedy performances were rehearsing in advance, attracting people and surrounding each stall.

The temple fair originated in the Liao Dynasty and was most prosperous during the Ming and Qing dynasties. However, it was banned for nearly twenty years after the founding of the People’s Republic, only to be lifted this spring festival.

Bai Xiaolan had no memory of visiting a temple fair as a child. Having one to visit today felt like she had found a treasure. She excitedly ran towards the comedy stall, not caring about bumping into pedestrians, afraid of being late and not getting a spot near the front.

Ji Xiangdong was taken by surprise when he got bumped into and saw a slim figure hurrying past him. It seemed this kind of temple fair was indeed attractive.

He was here with the director of the autonomous region to participate in a model worker conference. They had a free day today, and the director suggested visiting Capital City’s economic market for some learning.

Bai Xiaolan watched the comedy performance with great interest. As it was just a rehearsal, it didn’t last long. When it ended, she followed the dispersing crowd, feeling it was worth venturing out today.

"My money is gone," a middle-aged woman suddenly exclaimed. Bai Xiaolan’s sense of justice flared, and she rushed to the front, watching the frantic woman mumbling, "I clearly kept it here, why is it gone?"

Bai Xiaolan tried to spot the thief in the surrounding crowd and saw a man wearing an old hat panicking and running away.

Bai Xiaolan excelled at catching thieves in the act. She pushed through the crowd and gave chase.

Normally, thieves work in groups. Seeing Bai Xiaolan chasing, the thief’s accomplice pretended to trip her up.

Stumbling, Bai Xiaolan yelled, "Grab that man in the grey old hat, he’s a thief!" A few hot-blooded youths in the crowd immediately chased after him.

Only then did Bai Xiaolan turn her attention to the accomplice. How dare he mess with her, was he asking for trouble?

The reason Bai Xiaolan dared to fight was because she had learned some martial arts from her three older brothers growing up.

Staring at the accomplice who was much taller than her, Bai Xiaolan punched him straight in the face before he could react.

The accomplice was stunned and quickly stepped back. Seeing that the young woman dared to hit him, he lashed out with a kick at Bai Xiaolan.

Being an experienced fighter, Bai Xiaolan easily sidestepped the seemingly fierce kick. She grabbed the accomplice’s leg and kicked him hard in the groin. This move was one she had mastered a long time ago.

In fact, her three brothers had taught her simple and brutal moves, striking vital points.

The accomplice, who had been kicked in the groin, let out a wail of pain, clutching his crotch and jumping up and down.

Spectators applauded and commented on how formidable this young woman was.

While cursing angrily, she continued to kick the man, "You bloody thieves dare to mess with me, I’ll beat you to death today. Today I act in place of Heaven and punish you, you dare to steal..."

Ji Xiangdong stood on the outskirts of the crowd. When he and the director came over, he saw the accomplice’s kick directed at Bai Xiaolan, which made his heart rise to his throat.

Seeing Bai Xiaolan not only dodging nimbly but also landing a heavy blow on the opponent, he felt relieved and stayed on the sidelines.

Watching Bai Xiaolan’s face flush with anger and listening to her swearing, Ji Xiangdong thought she was quite amusing.

The director clicked his tongue in amazement, speaking in his odd Chinese, "This girl is too skilled, just like the wild horse foals from beneath our Tianshan Mountain."

Upon hearing the director’s comparison, Ji Xiangdong laughed too. This girl’s temper was indeed like that of a wild horse, difficult to tame.

"We’d better go. When the police come, it will be inconvenient for us to stay here," the director suggested.

One more glance at the still angry Bai Xiaolan, Ji Xiangdong nodded slightly, smiled, and walked away.

It was not until her foot ached from kicking that Bai Xiaolan stopped. Watching the man still rolling on the ground, she sneered, "You are such a wimp. After a few light kicks, you are crying like a sissy."

She looked up inadvertently and saw Ji Xiangdong’s retreating figure, leaving her dumbfounded. That figure seemed like the one she was looking for. She moved to chase but didn’t forget to give another hard kick to the man on the ground before rushing out.

Bai Xiaolan watched as the tall figure disappeared into the crowd, and she didn’t manage to catch up, leaving her somewhat dejected. She wasn’t sure if it was the person she was looking for, but the figure looked very similar. Even though she had only seen his retreating figure four years ago, that image was engrained in her memory.

Dejected, Bai Xiaolan was about to head back when the man she had beaten came over with a police officer, complaining, "Officer, it’s this woman, she attacked me without asking any questions."

Feeling angry, Bai Xiaolan, not caring about the police officer at all, rushed forward and kicked the man to the ground again. The officer was stunned by the speed of this young woman. Before he could react, the man was already knocked down. It wasn’t until the officer sternly told her off that she stopped, thinking about chasing the figure she saw earlier and feeling quite frustrated. She was about to kick the damned accomplice again.

The officer hurriedly stepped in. This was not a lady, but rather a female Zhang Fei.

"Alright, let’s settle this at the police station," the officer suggested, sighing with a headache.

At this moment, the young men who had chased the thief returned with him in custody. With no room for explanation, Bai Xiaolan smirked at the officer: "See, I told you he was a bad person, you didn’t believe me."

The exasperated officer ordered everyone to the temporary security office at the Ditan gate, took simple statements, and then finally allowed Bai Xiaolan to go home.
