Master Lam Sai Wing Deals with a Band of Rowdies

Once a troupe of actors from the Beijing Opera made a performance in the Lam Sai Wing's native village. Master Lam Sai Wing went to see their performance. On his way back home in the company of a few of his friends he saw a man riding a horse. The man rode along a path between fields, probably, on some errand. Master Lam Sai Wing and his comrades witnessed an unattractive deeds. Some Xiao Long, an inhabitant of that place and a known rowdy, together with his old pals obstructed the way for the rider with a stick and started to jeer at him. The man got off the horse and pulled it with the bridle-rein in an attempt to go around them, but they caught him, tore his clothes, knocked down and mocked him.

The stranger demanded to compensate the damages he sustained. Master Lam Sai Wing saw it and went along the path without saying a word. He approached the place and did not display in no way his thoughts and feelings. But his disciples could not restrain at the sight of such a humiliation of the man and started to shout in a rage: "Why, who ever heard of such a thing when some debauchee is so impudent that he obstructs the way of other people with sticks and beat them?!"

Full of indignation, the Lam Sai Wing's companions resolutely engaged those ruffians. The fight was fierce. Although some more people ran to help ruffians, they could not overpower Master Lam's disciples. At first Master Lam Sai Wing did not want to take part in that brawl. However, when he realized that his disciples themselves are not able to overpower the superior force of the enemy, he joined the fight. Although there were tens of ruffians, they ran out in fear like "fallen-off leaves blown by a gust of the wind."
