Chapter 1, The Martial Arts of Broken Bricks

The girl in white finally arrived at the door of Qi Yue's room. She paused for a moment, her gaze meeting Qi Yue's. Although she usually had little restraint over her actions, when Qi Yue saw the innocent look in the girl's eyes, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. He instinctively spoke in his usual tone: "Beautiful lady, are you also in this room?"

Qi Yue stared blankly at the field mouse, "What are you doing?" A sudden flush appeared on his face, and he struggled to hold back the warmth in his eyes as he shoved the phone and card back to the field mouse, "I absolutely cannot accept this. Today's incident was caused by me; how can I take your things? Don't worry, your boss is very resilient and won't die."

"Damn it, what are you hiding for? Don't worry, I don't hit women; I just want to take care of this guy." Qi Yue said fiercely

Qi Yue took a few steps forward but ultimately stopped, as the 20,000 yuan was too important to him. The orphanage had long expelled him due to his poor conduct, and now he was barely managing to rent a basement with the meager social assistance he received each month. Not to mention savings, that little assistance barely covered his meals. When he struck Yan Xiaoyi on the head with that brick just now, he clearly heard a sound of bones cracking, and it was likely a serious injury. If he were to die, at the age of nineteen, he would no longer be protected by the juvenile protection laws. The thought of death filled Qi Yue with profound fear, and he lamented to himself, how pitiful it is that I am still a virgin!

Upon entering the carriage, Qi Yue's initial tension from the altercation instantly dissipated. The carriage was adorned in a warm yellow color scheme. Thick carpets covered the floor, yielding softly underfoot. The overhead lighting appeared to be energy-saving bulbs, quite bright. However, he was unaware of the luxury level of this train, as it was, after all, his first time on a train and his first time leaving the capital.

Day, a devil's figure, an angel's face; if she were to share a room with me, I would be willing to live ten years less! No, it would be better to live one year less; perhaps, in ten years, I could enjoy more beautiful women.

Shuiyue appeared somewhat excited, "Really! I guessed it quite accurately. What kind of artistic work are you engaged in? Could you tell me? I never expected to meet an artist on this trip to Tibet; it is truly an honor for me"

Qi Yue's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken, as he inhaled deeply, fearing that saliva might escape uncontrollably. What excited Qi Yue the most was that this girl in white seemed to be alone, without any companions.

The number of people on the vehicle gradually increased, becoming more and more noisy. As the excitement and anticipation in his heart rose simultaneously, he could no longer focus on the magazine in his hand. Instead, he leaned out from his upper bunk to observe the women who piqued his interest.

Nana seemed oblivious to the gazes of the passing students and smiled charmingly, saying, "Whatever! If that doesn't work, then let's go to your house."

Qi Yue suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly climbed back into his bed, trying to present himself in a manner he believed to be suave, saying: "My name is Qi Yue, we truly have a fateful connection; you see, we both have the character 'Yue' in our names."

The girl in white leaned against her quilt, curiously observing the dazed Qi Yue, and said generously: "My name is Shuiyue, and you?"

It was only then that Qi Yue realized that his saliva had dripped down without his noticing, and feeling somewhat flustered, he quickly agreed and hurriedly helped the girl in white place her luggage on the overhead rack

"Just the two of you?" Yan Xiaoyi's expression grew even more disdainful. He lifted his right leg and executed a beautiful side kick into the air, the movement exceptionally crisp. Coupled with his handsome appearance and shoulder-length black hair, he exuded an indescribable elegance, though his eyes were filled with contempt. Nana, who was hiding behind him, seemed less afraid now, glaring at Qi Yue and saying, "I have nothing to do with you anymore. Don't come looking for me again. I am now Xiaoyi's person."

Beside the overweight man stands a young man who appears to be a few years older than him. The young man is approximately 1.8 meters tall, and in stark contrast to the overweight man, he is somewhat slender, perhaps accentuated by the presence of the heavier individual. His features cannot be described as handsome, yet his narrow, elongated eyes exude a sinister gleam. If any one of his facial features were to be examined in isolation, it might be deemed somewhat lacking; however, when viewed as a whole, they create a unique harmony, making him the kind of person who is quite pleasing to the eye.

What should we do? It's a cold dish, I've already hit him, and I will bear the consequences alone. Qi Yue had extensive experience in fighting; this was at the school gate, and the school security would likely arrive soon. Without any hesitation, he yanked down Yan Xiao Yi's pants and forcefully wrapped them around his head. At this time, it was early summer, and Yan Xiao Yi was only wearing a pair of underwear. Seeing the fleshy part of his lower body, Qi Yue kicked him hard, causing Yan Xiao Yi's body to tremble violently. "Let's go"

"What? Me? I don't have it! How could I have altitude sickness? I'm quite robust," said Qi Yue, hurriedly gesturing to the white-clad girl with his arm, although his obvious muscles were not visible.

The family background of Tian Shu is vastly different from that of Qi Yue. He is not an orphan; on the contrary, he has a powerful and influential father. Even Tian Shu himself is unaware of the extent of his father's wealth. The reason he associates with Qi Yue is that he has no interest in studying at all. Although he is enrolled in a prestigious high school, as a first-year student, he skips classes every day to hang out with Qi Yue. Their acquaintance was a chance encounter; Qi Yue showcased his kingly aura during a fight, single-handedly taking on three small thugs from another neighborhood, which Tian Shu happened to witness. From that moment on, Tian Shu acknowledged him as his leader.

The hard sleeper compartment accommodates four people per room. Qi Yue, worried about being caught, was the first to climb aboard the train and find his seat. As he surveyed the novel sights on the train, he looked forward to the possibility of sharing his compartment with a few beautiful women; even if there was only one, the forty-eight-hour journey would not feel lonely.

Qi Yue's expression turned sinister. He had been an orphan since childhood, growing up in an orphanage under the care of social welfare, without anyone to discipline him. As he grew older, his sense of rebellion intensified. Although the Yanhuang Republic implemented a twelve-year compulsory education system, allowing free high school education, he ultimately dropped out before graduating, becoming a social drifter. In ordinary terms, his idle lifestyle, characterized by fighting, drinking, and smoking, could easily label him as a petty thug. This girl named Nana had been in a relationship with him for over a year. Despite Qi Yue's poor background, he valued this first love greatly. However, after initially depending on him, Nana quickly kicked Qi Yue to the curb when she found someone like Yan Xiaoyi, who was not only capable in a fight but also had backing. Qi Yue felt indignant and specifically came to the entrance of Nana's school today to settle accounts with Yan Xiaoyi.

"Oh, do you have altitude sickness? That can't be right! We haven't even left Beijing yet," the girl in white said, looking at Qi Yue in surprise

"Uh, yes, yes, I am an artist." When Qi Yue first heard the term 'artist,' his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg. However, being a rogue by nature, he quickly regained his composure and responded, after all, during these years of wandering in society, he may not have honed other skills, but his thick skin had certainly increased day by day

Field Mouse said: "Boss, I have always wanted to ask you, why don't we use a machete? A machete is so impressive and powerful."

Jingshan District is the smallest district in the capital city. Its area is much smaller compared to several other urban districts. At 4 PM, which is the time when various schools dismiss their students, two individuals are currently standing in a dim corner not far from the entrance of Jingshan Vocational School.

The girl in white adjusted her clothes and carefully climbed up to the upper bunk. It turned out that he was just like Qi Yue. At this moment, Qi Yue became even more excited, as he could see every part of the girl’s body at eye level, albeit through her clothes. Looking at the gap of nearly one meter between the two beds, Qi Yue couldn't help but secretly sigh, what a case of being so close yet so far! If only it were a big bed, how perfect that would be! While thinking this, he looked up and saw, wow, it was also white inside. Hmm, this girl clearly fits the pure and innocent type, far superior to Nana. This time, I absolutely cannot let this opportunity slip away. Oh heavens, I earnestly request you, just let my virginity come to an end.

"Boss, where are you going?" the field mouse asked somewhat anxiously.

Nana saw Qi Yue, and her face clearly showed a hint of panic, prompting her to hurriedly hide behind the handsome young man

Qi Yue stopped five meters away from the handsome young man. The field mouse, with hands on his hips, shouted: "Yan Xiaoyi, you foolish X, you actually dare to steal my boss's woman. Today, we will teach you a lesson."

Watching the field mouse, which was running but not particularly fast, Qi Yue felt a surge of emotion within him. He murmured to himself, "Good brother, consider this as my borrowing from you. If I can repay it, I will return it a thousandfold." While lost in thought, he took out a cheap cigarette and placed it between his lips. However, when he prepared to light it, he realized that his lighter had somehow gone missing.

If it is a painful experience for a man who prides himself on his good looks to be rejected by the woman he admires, then the suffering that Qi Yue is currently enduring is indeed doubled. After all, being outright rejected before even reaching the threshold of a relationship is far less fortunate than being abandoned after a lingering romance. Upon hearing the term "uncle," Qi Yue's jaw nearly dropped.

The field mouse nodded vigorously, but there was a hint of concern in his eyes. "Boss, I heard that guy has been training in martial arts for about seven or eight years. Do you think we can handle this?"

Qi Yue originally intended to purchase a hard seat ticket, but when he went to buy the ticket, he discovered that the T27 train to Tibet does not offer seat tickets. Upon further inquiry, he learned that Tibet is located on a plateau, which can easily cause altitude sickness. To ensure a smooth journey and reduce the likelihood of unexpected incidents, all trains are equipped with sleeping berths, divided into hard sleeper and soft sleeper categories. After much hesitation, Qi Yue finally bought a hard sleeper ticket for over 800 Yanhuang coins and boarded the train. Before arriving at the train station, he withdrew all 20,000 yuan from the card given to him by the field mouse, which for him was undoubtedly the largest sum of wealth he had ever possessed.

The handsome young man directly took Nana's hand and chuckled, "Nana, I have missed you so much. What shall we do later?"

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva and recalling the moment of spring light, Qi Yue hurriedly touched his nose, fearing he might embarrass himself again

Qi Yue and Tian Shu were having a great time filming, when suddenly they heard a piercing scream in an extremely high pitch. Both were startled, and the earlier adrenaline rush they felt was significantly diminished. Looking at Yan Xiao Yi, they saw blood gushing from his head, and his branded sportswear had been stained with dirt and blood, taking on a bizarre color. Although his body was still convulsing, he had lost all ability to resist. The thought of the word "murder" made Qi Yue and Tian Shu exchange a glance, and they simultaneously halted their actions.

Although his body was still convulsing, he had lost all ability to resist. The thought of the word "murder" made Qi Yue and Tian Shu exchange a glance, and they simultaneously halted their actions. Although these small-time ruffians were used to running rampant outside, the very idea of murder was something they dared not even contemplate.

The capital city is located in the northern part of the Yanhuang Republic. By May, the north has already become quite warm. As night falls, the capital city becomes noticeably more vibrant, with various neon lights continuously flashing along the streets. Some professions that only exist at night have just begun their work.

A swift figure approached the entrance of Jing Shan Vocational School at a steady pace. As he ran, he shouted, "Nana, I am here!" The newcomer was a young man, around eighteen or nineteen years old, standing approximately 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned physique. Dressed in sportswear, he appeared dashing and spirited. His shoulder-length black hair was neatly styled, and as he ran, it fluttered slightly in the gentle breeze. He had a handsome face, though his eyes seemed to flicker with mischief, and a hint of a playful smile lingered at the corners of his mouth.

Qi Yue patted the messenger bag slung over his shoulder and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't forget, your boss here has come with a treasure."

After casting a fierce glance at Nana's ample bosom, Hetian Mouse immediately fled in disarray. Qi Yue had never considered reconciling with Nana; this woman had already revealed her true nature to him. Like a public bus, once a woman gets off, another gets on—how could he want her again? Today, he sought Yan Xiaoyi merely to vent his frustrations. However, while thinking this, he couldn't help but reminisce about the mysterious parts of Nana's body. As a small rogue, Qi Yue certainly had some potential in terms of fantasy and theoretical experience.

Originally on high alert, Yan Xiaoyi was suddenly thrown into disarray. He had planned to deliver a whip kick as soon as Qi Yue charged into his attack range, but he did not expect Qi Yue to use such a method. He hurriedly raised his arm to block, and although he had practiced martial arts, he was far from having the toughness of iron and bronze. The force of Qi Yue's brick strike was considerable, and Yan Xiaoyi cried out in pain as his arm was struck squarely.

"I heard you practice martial arts?" Qi Yue glanced sideways at Yan Xiao Yi

I just came out as well. The girl named Nana approached the handsome young man, her face displaying a sweet smile

At this moment, a girl from Jing Shan Vocational School was walking out slowly. Her delicate face and voluptuous figure exuded a hint of alluring charm. She was not wearing the usual school uniform, but rather a knee-length skirt and a bright yellow short-sleeved top. As her eyes flickered, she radiated a somewhat provocative aura that seemed incongruous with her age. Unlike other students who left the school directly, when she reached the school gate, she looked around as if searching for something.

Qi Yue's movements were much faster than Yan Xiao Yi had imagined. When that round brick shattered above Yan Xiao Yi's head, he finally understood the meaning of why the flowers were so red. His body went limp, and before he could even utilize his skills in leg techniques, he was struck down to the ground by Qi Yue with a brick, blood flowing down from his head

The field mouse's movements were noticeably slower than its own leader by a few beats, and it charged forward holding a large brick, shouting slogans, "Confucius said: Is it appropriate to fight with bricks, to hit in the face, or to act recklessly? Since it is so, can one person act alone? Shouldn't friends join in? Let's give it our all, isn't that enjoyable? If one cannot hit, then hit to the death; if one dies, so be it!" I wonder what Confucius would think if he were still alive and heard these words.

Qi Yue's gaze was intense and broad in scope. Any woman with a hint of beauty and not too advanced in age would be scrutinized by him from below, indeed from below. This had become Qi Yue's habit; he always believed that as an experienced lecher, one should start by assessing a woman's figure. How could one enjoy oneself without a good physique? While a pretty face is important, the figure is evidently more crucial. He always believed that as an experienced lecher, one should start by assessing a woman's figure. How could one enjoy oneself without a good physique? While a pretty face is important, the figure is evidently more crucial

At that moment, Qi Yue happened to rush in front of him, catching the brick that had rebounded off Yan Xiaoyi's arm and swung it down forcefully.

The handsome young man scoffed disdainfully and said, "Nana, don't be afraid, I'm here. With his character, even if there were ten of him, I would handle them all the same."

He casually picked up a train manual and flipped through it. According to the manual, this T27 train would take a long journey of forty-eight hours to reach Tibet. For this trip to the snowy plateau, Qi Yue held considerable expectations. The simplest of these was the hope of encountering some exciting experiences on the train. He had read plenty of erotic novels and was already filled with anticipation for certain events that might occur on the train.

What a pair of adulterers! A cold voice echoed from the corner as Qi Yue and the chubby Tian Shu emerged with mocking smiles on their faces. It was evident that they had been waiting for this young couple.

"Boss, will that kid really show up today?" The speaker was a chubby boy who appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, standing approximately 1.7 meters tall. Upon seeing him, one could easily be reminded of the saying about someone being eight feet tall and having an eight-foot waist, as his overall physique indeed resembled that of a globe.

Qi Yue said with some pride: "You won't move for this, the machete is considered a controlled item, but the brick is different. Even if you get caught, it will be much lighter, and besides, bricks can be sourced on-site, making them easier to use. Fatty, this is experience. Alright, you can go home now, your boss is about to run away. I estimate that Yan Xiao Yi won't die, but he will definitely suffer. I've inquired, and his father is indeed with the municipal bureau. If he doesn't run now, he probably won't have another chance. You're different; as long as you go home, you won't have any trouble."

As the clock struck 9:30, Qi Yue, who had boarded Train T27, finally let out a sigh of relief. Before getting on the train, he had been filled with anxiety, fearing that if his escape failed and he was caught, it would spell disaster for him

"Boss, this is for you." As he spoke, the chubby field mouse took out a brand new mobile phone from his bag and handed it to Qi Yue. "I just got this from my mom. You can use it so I can contact you. Oh, by the way, Boss, here’s a card for you too." He then took out a Dragon Card from the Construction Bank and handed it to Qi Yue. "I’m almost sixteen, and my dad had someone get me an ID card in advance, and then he got me this card. It has twenty thousand yuan in it, and the password is my birthday. Boss, you can use it first, and if it’s not enough, just call me, and I’ll find a way to transfer money to you."

Shuiyue smiled faintly and said, "What brings you to Lhasa? Are you here for tourism? Let me guess your profession, if you don't mind. I think, with your attire, you must be following the currently popular trend of disillusionment; you should be an artist, right"

The field mouse shouted slogans as it charged forward. Although its movements were somewhat slow, the blows from the brick were delivered without hesitation, striking directly at Yan Xiaoyi. Qi Yue's brick shattered, but he still had his fists; how could he let such a satisfying opportunity slip away? The stout and the thin, wielding fists and bricks like a rainstorm, caused Yan Xiaoyi to scream in agony. Fortunately, he knew to curl up his body and protect his head with his hands. The stout and the thin, wielding fists and bricks like a rainstorm, caused Yan Xiaoyi to scream in agony. Fortunately, he knew to curl up his body and protect his head with his hands. Although Yan Xiaoyi was taken down by Qi Yue's rogue tactics, it must be said that Qi Yue's fighting experience was indeed much richer than his.

The girl in white, her face slightly flushed, shyly said to Qi Yue, who was half a head taller than her: "I apologize, I couldn't see clearly from below just now. However, if you keep your eyes wide open like that, they can easily become dry. I am studying medicine, you know"

Alright! The handsome young man's eyes suddenly revealed a hint of fervor, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became lewd.

Nana was clearly stunned by the scene before her, and at that moment, a girl coming out of the school suddenly screamed, "There's a murder."

"Am I really that old?" As he spoke, Qi Yue jumped down from his bed, instinctively touching his face. Indeed, he had not taken a shower in at least a week, and for someone as lazy as him, managing to shave while showering was already quite an achievement. Coupled with his faded jeans, he certainly appeared to have gained a few more years of weariness. Deliberately running his fingers through his hair, Qi Yue presented his face to the girl in white.

At that moment, a white figure caught Qi Yue's attention. It was a breathtakingly beautiful girl, wearing a pair of white branded sneakers. Her long, fair legs were exposed, though only up to her knees. The area that Qi Yue coveted was well-covered by a white short skirt. On her upper body, she wore a white oversized shirt. Her entirely white outfit attracted not just Qi Yue's gaze; after all, this girl, who appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen, not only had a well-proportioned figure but also possessed a face as beautiful as an angel's, with a hint of innocence in her delicate features.

The girl in white covered her mouth and chuckled, saying: "Then how could you be drooling? Oh, by the way, could I trouble this strong uncle, no, big brother, to help me put my luggage up? I don't have enough strength."

Yan Xiaoyi, after all, had practiced martial arts. When he saw Qi Yue charging at him with a brick, he did not panic; after all, a brick was ultimately not as threatening to him as a machete. However, as a social drifter, Qi Yue's fighting experience was something Yan Xiaoyi could not compare to. The moment Qi Yue charged, the brick in his hand immediately slipped from his grasp and flew straight towards Yan Xiaoyi's head.

Qi Yue let out a cold snort, opened his backpack, and reached inside. The chubby Tian Shu was making the same motion.

As Qi Yue swallowed hard, he received quite a few disdainful glances. However, it was clear that lewd looks could not constitute evidence of a crime. Although he faced countless disdainful stares like the books, Qi Yue still took pleasure in observing.

After boarding the train, Qi Yue felt considerably more relaxed. For him, the term "Tibet" was merely something he had heard of; it was a mysterious place. He only knew that there existed a mysterious entity there called the Potala Palace

Qi Yue shot a displeased glance at the field mouse and said: "Stop the nonsense. Even though I only graduated from junior high, I have spent two years in high school, even if I didn't finish. Now, let's get ready."

Boss, did we go too hard just now? I didn't expect that kid to be all show and no substance, easily knocked down in just a few moves, without even the strength to fight back, truly pathetic

Qi Yue snorted and said, "Field mouse, you must remember that the principle of breaking martial arts with a brick is an unchanging truth throughout the ages. As long as you catch him off guard, any so-called King of Northern Legs is simply nonsense"

The field mouse insisted, saying, "No, boss, you must keep this. Oh, by the way, I heard from my dad that the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has opened. It is said that the scenery in Tibet is fantastic, and it is quite far from the capital. You might as well go there to hide for a while; that way, you can consider it a trip. Save the 20,000 yuan, and it should last for about a month. I will go back and plead with my dad, and as soon as things are settled, I will call you. Boss, if you are going to leave, do it quickly to avoid prolonged troubles. I will go first." Saying this, he did not wait for Qi Yue to force the items back to him and turned to run away.

"Old man, boss, what should we do? This kid can't really be dead, can he?" The field mouse's small eyes involuntarily revealed a hint of panic

The girl in white looked at Qi Yue with a bare gaze, seemingly curious. She smiled slightly, nodded at Qi Yue, and said: "Hello, sir, is there something wrong with your eyes? I have eye drops here."

Qi Yue patted his broad shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I've been through this kind of thing many times. Although this time it's a bit more serious, running away is not a big problem. However, this time I might have to run a bit farther and won't be able to return to the capital for a while. You should honestly go to school for a few days; with such good conditions, it would be a pity not to take advantage of them. To be honest, I also envy those who are wise, but unfortunately, even if I study hard in high school, I won't be able to attend university after turning eighteen, as we simply don't have the money."

Qi Yue and the field mouse ran very quickly. In a short while, they had already left the vicinity of the school and stopped in a secluded corner. Qi Yue's expression softened considerably, though he appeared somewhat bewildered. Although he had vented his anger, he did not feel particularly happy; instead, a subtle pain lingered in his heart. After all, Nana was his first love! Although nothing substantial had ever occurred between them, the beauty of that first love had been completely shattered in Qi Yue's heart. Yet he did not feel particularly happy; instead, a subtle pain lingered in his heart. After all, Nana was his first love! Although nothing substantial had ever occurred between them, the beauty of that first love had been completely shattered in Qi Yue's heart.

The chubby man chuckled and patted his backpack, saying: "Boss, it really feels a bit strange to see you carrying that backpack. It seems like this thing doesn't quite suit you."

Yan Xiaoyi's expression changed noticeably, but he could not show weakness in front of his girlfriend. "If you want to make a move, go ahead. Let me tell you, my dad is with the municipal public security bureau. Delinquent youths like you should have been sent in for reformation a long time ago"

He will definitely come to pick her up today. She should be getting out of school soon. Damn it, if I don't vent my anger today, I might as well write my name, Qi Yue, backwards. Field mouse, just watch my expression later.

Yan Xiaoyi said proudly: "Not bad, I have studied for a few years. My master is the famous King of Northern Kicks. So, do you want to test my leg skills? Fighting with a petty thug like you is simply dirtying my shoes"

Qi Yue withdrew his hand from the backpack, let out a cold laugh, and said, "There is a saying you may not have heard: 'A brick can break martial arts.' Today, I will let you know why the flowers are so red." As soon as he finished speaking, he charged forward with such speed that even Yan Xiaoyi, who had practiced martial arts, was taken aback. At that moment, Qi Yue was holding a large brick in his hand, which was naturally his secret weapon from the backpack.

A master, this is undoubtedly a master, who can actually be immune to the gaze of a lecher. Qi Yue felt great joy in his heart; encountering such an innocent young girl, if he did not act as a lecher just once, it would be a great loss.
