The dagger was extremely sharp and carried with force, piercing straight through the arm and revealing a very short section of the blade.
This was Wang Tianxiao's ever-present weapon, not primarily for harming people, but rather as a precaution against wild beasts. The knife was usually kept in his boot sheath, so that if he were accidentally pounced on by a wild animal, he could easily draw it.
The last time I encountered a wolf on my way home, I was also injured by this weapon; otherwise, I would have been in grave danger.
The thief, used to petty theft, had never experienced such pain. After the car crashed to the ground, he curled up like a shrimp, groaning in agony.
Wang Tianxiao then walked over and pulled out his trouser pocket. In those days, people's belts weren't leather belts; they were simply tied with rope or strips of cloth.
The belts of these two men were made of hemp rope.
Wang Tianxiao tied him up tightly in the same way he would tie up prey, and then pulled another one over and tied it together.
The knife wasn't pulled out yet; if it were, the thief might not be able to hold on and would bleed too much, which would be troublesome.
While he was tying up the thief, several more people came into the alley. Seeing his situation, they didn't know what he was doing and quickly retreated.
That's how it is in this era; many things are still in a primitive stage, and brute force can sometimes solve some problems.
After tying them up, Wang Tianxiao dragged the two men behind the motorcycle, then mounted the motorcycle himself and slowly rode forward, dragging them toward the nearby police station.
He turned the corner because the police station was right in front of him, and he was worried that he might run into his boss and not be able to handle it. He didn't expect that something would happen so quickly, and he really had no choice but to go.
I just hope I don't have such bad luck that I run into my boss inside again.
Although he was riding his motorcycle slowly enough, and the police station was just a hundred meters away after the turn, the two thieves were still dragged around in agony, squeaking and yelling all the way, attracting passersby to stop and watch, pointing and whispering.
At this point, the two thieves couldn't wait to get to the police station. The pain was unbearable, and if they delayed any longer, their buttocks would be worn raw.
They kept begging Wang Tianxiao for mercy, but he didn't say a word. He had always deeply hated petty thieves.
These petty thieves are lazy and don't want to do anything. They always stare at other people's things, hoping to get something for nothing.
Sometimes stealing a small thing is fine, but sometimes stealing something crucial can lead to the destruction of families, the separation of spouses and children, and the annihilation of happy lives.
He wouldn't hesitate to take action against such scumbags.
When they arrived at the police station, the guards at the gate were also stunned, not knowing what was going on. Wang Tianxiao then explained the situation.
The gatekeeper listened and looked at the two thieves curiously, thinking to himself, "These two guys are about to go to the police station, so why do they seem so happy?"
These petty thefts could normally be handled by the local police station, but since they've been brought to the Public Security Bureau, we can't just ignore them, so we followed the proper procedures and took some statements.
Wang Tianxiao then learned that these two guys were repeat offenders who not only stole motorcycles and valuable bicycles from the roadside, but also had experience in burglary. Now that they've been caught, they'll probably be locked up for a while.
The Public Security Bureau asked Wang Tianxiao to leave his information. They said it was from the Forestry Bureau, and that they wanted to send a letter of commendation to the bureau to thank him for catching two habitual criminals.
Wang Tianxiao, on the other hand, was concerned about when he could get his knife back.
This was a vital piece of equipment for his survival; when the gun was unusable for various reasons, the dagger often had a surprising effect.
I was told to come back in about two weeks to pick it up.
Wang Tianxiao was in a dilemma, but he had no choice but to give up for the time being.
A section chief from the Public Security Bureau saw him, this great hero, off to the gate. Just as he was about to get on his vehicle and leave, he saw a yellow-green three-wheeled motorcycle coming towards him.
A group of young police officers rode the bicycle, with a middle-aged police officer in his thirties or forties sitting in the basket. He was also wearing a police uniform and looked dignified and imposing.
Judging from the epaulets on his shoulders, he's a leader.
Sure enough, the section chief greeted him warmly with a smile: "Deputy Director Wang, you're back."
Deputy Director Wang responded, but his gaze wasn't on the section chief; instead, he stared at Wang Tianxiao, his brow furrowing slightly. "Tianxiao, what are you doing here?"
Wang Tianxiao felt like he'd been cursed.
What a twist of fate! What I don't want to do, happens to happen.
This Deputy Director Wang is none other than his elder brother, Wang Tianzhong, who is thirty-five years old this year. According to his age, he should have just been promoted to deputy director not long ago.
He tried to dodge, but in the end he couldn't avoid it and ended up running right into it.
"What, you know this Comrade Tianxiao?" The section chief looked at the two of them in surprise and asked subconsciously, then suddenly realized, Wang Tianzhong, Wang Tianxiao, this...
He felt like he was superfluous and quickly looked for an opportunity to slip away.
"Big brother."
Since they had run into each other, Wang Tianxiao saw no need to avoid it. He called out "Brother" in a very casual manner.
Wang Tianzhong was unaware that his younger brother had been reborn. In Wang Tianzhong's eyes, his younger brother was still the same honest and simple person he used to be, except that he was a bit more stubborn.
"Xiao Li, go park the car first."
Wang Tianzhong got out of the car, put his hands behind his back, and said to Wang Tianxiao, "Come with me."
Wang Tianxiao didn't move. "Brother, I have something to do here. How about I don't go to your place today? Come back to our house for dinner another day when you go back to your hometown. I'll make you long noodles."
The long noodles are handmade spicy red noodles. Li Yali rolls the noodles exceptionally well; they're so thin you can see your shadow through them, yet they're still very chewy. Wang Tianzhong has a sensitive stomach and can't eat many things, but he loves her noodles and always eats several bowls.
Wang Tianzhong stopped and turned to look at Wang Tianxiao with some confusion. He probably never expected that Wang Tianxiao would disobey him and put forward his own ideas.
He then carefully examined Wang Tianxiao for a while, his gaze falling on his motorcycle. "Where did you get this motorcycle?"
"A friend lent it to me."
"You have friends like this?"
Wang Tianxiao smiled slightly, "Big brother has friends, and of course I have my friends too."
“You know what I mean.” Wang Tianzhong was somewhat dissatisfied when he saw that Wang Tianxiao did not give a direct answer.
"That's exactly what I meant." Wang Tianxiao's attitude remained gentle but steady.
"Don't use things that aren't yours easily. This motorcycle isn't cheap. If you break it, how will you pay for it? You should use that money to give Yali and Fangwa a better life... By the way, is Yali about to give birth?"
"Yes, it'll be over in the next few days."
"That's good. Take good care of her and try to have a son. You're the only one in the family who doesn't have a son yet."
Wang Tianxiao thought to himself, "You don't have one either, you don't even have a girl yet."
But he knew that Wang Tianzhong was saying this with a hint of regret in his heart. It was precisely because he himself had no children that he hoped other families would have more boys so that the Wang family line could continue.
