This seems to describe a boy's first love affair (he is a boy, she is a woman). Things go awry ("turn the leg", "I guess we lost that battle"), but the boy, or the narrator, have confidence that she will return (to him). The seven (yes, five) Chinese brothers ultimately cannot fall prey to any harm: whatever comes of this affair or its loss, the boy will be fine. The "she" who returns may even be a different woman.
