Her voice was so loud that Xu Zijiang, who was in another carriage, heard it immediately. He rushed over and saw the thief trying to snatch the knife with a ferocious expression, while Yu Jiu was tightly gripping his neck. The thief's hand holding the knife was so weak that he almost couldn't hold it anymore. So he desperately used his other hand to choke Yu Jiu's neck, trying to get her to loosen her grip.
Yu Jiu knew that if she let go, she would be finished, and there would definitely be a bloody knife coming out. So even though she was being choked and had difficulty breathing, she kept squeezing his nerves until he released the knife from her hand.
"Cough cough cough."
Yu Jiu was so choked that he couldn't even swallow his saliva and almost choked to death.
Seeing this, some of the other passengers wanted to help, but they didn't know how to do it, so they could only stand on their seats and shout, trying to intimidate him.
"What are you doing! You're carrying a knife! Let him go right now! I'm calling the train conductor! I'm calling the train conductor right now!"
Xiao Qian went berserk. At first, he couldn't bear to stab Yu Jiu directly because she was pretty. He didn't expect this bitch to know a thing or two and dare to pinch his nerves. If he didn't teach her a lesson, she would think she could fly to the sky!
He viciously gripped Yu Jiu's throat, focused solely on revenge, having completely forgotten about Xu Zijiang.
Yu Jiu's head was spinning from his choking. She struggled a few times, her body sliding down a bit, then she forcefully lifted her leg and slammed her instep hard into the back of his head. This move required an extremely high level of flexibility; she almost folded her entire body in half.
Xiao Qian was caught off guard and struck hard on the back of the head. The pain made his vision go black, and the hand that was gripping Yu Jiu's neck loosened. The hand that was being pinched also lost its grip on the knife, and the knife clattered to the ground.
This is the moment! Yu Jiu fought back fiercely, slapping Xiao Qian hard across the face, then suddenly flipping over and standing up, gripping Xiao Qian's neck from above.
"Cough cough cough."
This time it was his turn to be out of breath.
"Let me go, you bitch! You think you're so great?!"
Xiao Qian was an experienced thief with plenty of fighting experience, and Yu Jiu was too weak. After a slight pause, he forcefully pulled Yu Jiu's hand off his neck. Just as he was cursing and trying to stand up to continue beating Yu Jiu, Xu Zijiang finally arrived from another carriage.
In fact, this whole sequence of actions happened in the blink of an eye. If Yu Jiu had reacted any slower, he would have either been stabbed in the back or threatened and had his money taken away.
Xu Zi grabbed Xiao Qian's outstretched hand and twisted it downwards.
"ah!!!"
In an instant, his hand fell limply down, hanging on his arm as if boneless. He had actually broken Xiao Qian's hand!
Xu Zijiang was furious, his face dark with rage. Without saying a word, he slammed Xiao Qian's head against the table again, making several loud thuds. The table was almost broken, let alone Xiao Qian's head.
"Stop! Stop hitting him!"
Just then, the train conductor rushed over, drenched in sweat and panting. When he saw that they were familiar faces, he was stunned. Why were these two people again?
Yu Jiu tugged at Xu Zijiang's sleeve and whispered.
"Stop, Xu Zijiang, it's alright."
She was afraid that if she continued hitting him, he would really die. Blood was already rolling down his head, probably from hitting the corner of the table, which had caused a large wound on his forehead.
"Yes, yes, it's alright. Just hand him over to me. This guy is a habitual thief. I don't know how he got back in the game. He also likes to carry a knife. If he can't steal any money, he'll stab people. Give him to me, and I'll make sure to take him to the police station!"
As the train conductor was speaking, a stun gun was used to shock Xiao Qian, knocking him unconscious.
Seeing him lying unconscious on the table, Xu Zijiang released him with a dark face and questioned him in a deep voice.
"How can your train be so unsafe! You even bring knives on board, what are you guys doing?!"
"I'm so sorry, it was our oversight, but that's how it is on trains, there are so many people and so many things going on, it's hard for us to keep an eye on everyone. You'll just have to be more careful yourselves."
The train conductor felt both aggrieved and self-righteous.
At that time, there were no surveillance cameras or security check machines; it was all done by human search. There weren't enough people, so this era was completely different from later times. It was truly chaotic, and nobody knew how to deal with these people.
"Moreover, there are many gangs on the train. If you arrest one, another will come and you can't catch them all."
"Take them away right now!"
Xu Zijiang didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so the train conductor quickly had the other conductors help the small amount of money away. He then squatted down to pick up the knife and hurriedly left as well.
Xu Zi pressed Yu Jiu back into her seat and lifted her chin to examine her neck closely.
"It's all red, does it hurt? Are you injured anywhere else? I shouldn't have gone to that toilet!"
Xu Zijiang was filled with regret; he never expected that something like this would happen after he had only been gone for a few minutes!
"It doesn't hurt, it's nothing. He just pinched me, and I pushed him away. I'm really fine. It's not your fault. He's been watching us for a while, just looking for an opportunity. Besides, as they say, trains are chaotic, and it's normal for minor accidents to happen. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
"Xu Zijiang, look, I've remembered everything you taught me! If you hadn't taught me how to manipulate hemp tendons, I wouldn't have known how useful it was! He couldn't even lift his knife! If he hadn't brought a knife, I would have dared to fight him. It's perfect timing to put your skills to use!"
Yu Jiu wasn't scared at all; on the contrary, she was very excited, her eyes shining brightly.
She was able to fight back against a man with a knife, and even succeed in doing so, which showed that she had made great progress and was no longer the weak little girl who was defenseless and at the mercy of others! She felt that she had become powerful!
"You."
Xu Zi gently rubbed Yu Jiu's head, sighing helplessly, unsure of what to say. Shouldn't a normal person blame their partner for not protecting them? Why is she excited about becoming stronger? He just doesn't understand.
However, I'm also glad that I taught her some self-defense skills. It's always good to have more skills.
"I'll teach you some more when we get back, so that you can protect yourself even if I'm not around."
Xu Zi said firmly, "Yu Jiu is not a weak parasitic flower. Moreover, she is so eye-catching. Who knows what might happen to her in the future? He really can't be by her side every second. Since that's the case, let's go along with her wishes and let her grow up!"
"Okay, I like being awesome. But why aren't you here? We'll be together forever after we get married!"
