Lin Xia and Lin Dong had just positioned themselves at the doorstep of this family's home when Lin Qiang and a brute, who had been hiding somewhere earlier, approached them from across the street, sneering.
They both held sticks in their hands, gesticulating threateningly as if they were planning to give Lin Xia and her company a beating.
Lin Dong panicked instantly, fearing he couldn't defeat these two boys alone and wouldn't be able to protect his older sister!
However, Lin Xia didn't panic. It was now too late to run, so she looked around for anything handy that could be used as a weapon.
Next to this family's home, at the entrance of another house, lay a pile of branches, seemingly collected but not yet put away.
Acting decisively, Lin Xia pulled Lin Dong a few steps over and each picked up a branch as thick as an adult's wrist.
