Lito patted his chest heartily and said, "Brother Guan, what are you saying? Is there anything I can't help with? Just say the word; I'll go through hell and high water without hesitation to help!"
"Fine!" A harmless smile appeared on Liu Huyi's face, and then he reached behind him to pull out a big stick.
Three days later, the news that Liu Hun had crippled Lito spread across Taiping Town. Some said it was a money dispute, others said they misjudged the sparring. Some even claimed it started over peanuts while drinking. There were even rumors that Lito had stolen Liu Hun's underwear off his drying rack, with various versions circulating about the colors.
In any case, Lito was crippled by Liu Hun and subsequently quit the opera troupe, returning to the old house in the front village, spending his days cursing Liu Hun at the village entrance. The villagers of the front village admired Liu Hun greatly, so they gave Lito the cold shoulder and ignored him completely.
