Origin Story
话说在古代某个小镇上，有个叫阿牛的年轻人，为人老实憨厚，却常常被人欺负。一天，阿牛在集市上不小心撞到一个强壮的恶霸，恶霸怒气冲冲，不由分说地对阿牛拳打脚踢。一番毒打后，阿牛鼻青脸肿，倒在地上起不来。路人纷纷侧目，却无人敢上前阻止，因为恶霸在当地横行霸道，无人敢惹。阿牛忍着剧痛，慢慢地爬起来，心中默默发誓，总有一天，他要让自己强大起来，不再被人欺负。从此，阿牛开始刻苦练武，终于练就一身好功夫。几年后，恶霸再次找阿牛麻烦，结果被阿牛打得鼻青脸肿，狼狈而逃。从此以后，再也没人敢欺负阿牛了。
Once upon a time, in an ancient town, there lived a young man named An Niu, who was honest and kind-hearted, but often bullied. One day, An Niu accidentally bumped into a strong bully at the market. The bully became furious and beat An Niu without a word. After the beating, An Niu was bruised and swollen, lying on the ground unable to get up. Passers-by looked on, but no one dared to step forward to stop him, because the bully was rampant in the area and no one dared to provoke him. An Niu endured the pain and slowly got up, secretly vowing to one day make himself strong and no longer be bullied. From then on, An Niu began to practice martial arts diligently, eventually becoming a skilled fighter. Years later, the bully once again troubled An Niu, but was beaten black and blue and fled in disgrace. From then on, no one dared to bully An Niu again.
