Chapter 18 The Money-Grubber on the Bus
Around 7 a.m., during the morning rush hour for Hong Kong's white-collar workers, the bus heading to Kowloon was packed with passengers.
After boarding the bus, Li Chang'an, relying on his agility, nimbly weaved through the gaps in the crowd like a snake swimming in water, making his way to the back of the bus where there was a slightly larger space.
Seeing a passenger by the window get up to get off the bus, he was about to sit down, but after glancing at an elderly woman with white hair next to him, he stepped aside and let her sit down first.
"Thank you, young man. It's rare to see such a kind-hearted young man like you these days," the old woman said kindly after sitting down.
Young people, do not refrain from doing good because it is small. This is an essential virtue for becoming a hero. (Primordial Qi +0.01)
buzz-
As the narration ended, the bus started moving.
The bus ride from here to Kowloon takes at least half an hour, so Li Chang'an naturally didn't want to waste his time.
Although the surrounding area was full of passengers, preventing him from practicing martial arts, superior martial arts skills allow martial artists to practice and cultivate anytime, anywhere, without being confined to fists and feet.
For example, internal martial arts such as Tai Chi have auxiliary breathing techniques to nourish the five internal organs and the dantian (lower abdomen).
Snake-style boxing also exists, but as an external imitation style, its breathing method is not as mysterious as that of internal health cultivation methods. It is simply a kung fu technique that uses breathing rhythm to exercise the waist and abdomen and train flexibility.
Li Chang'an closed his eyes, straightened his back, relaxed his shoulders and hunched his chest. When his waist and abdomen were completely relaxed, he began to inhale deeply through his nostrils.
His abdomen also swelled up naturally, like a snake puffing out its belly.
Four breaths later, Li Chang'an suddenly exhaled a short, sharp breath from his nose, making a faint hissing sound like a snake flicking its tongue, and his swollen abdomen suddenly contracted inward.
With each inhale, the waist beats like a drum; with each exhale, the waist tightens like a sash.
With each breath, the fascia of the waist and abdomen is stretched layer by layer, and then immediately tightened and loosened again.
By simply practicing this rhythmic breathing, one can develop a flexible yet resilient waist and abdomen.
Suddenly, the bus braked sharply, and the passengers inside were caught off guard and scrambled forward.
Although Li Chang'an wasn't holding anything in his hands, his feet were firmly planted on the ground, showing no sign of wobbling even when the bus braked suddenly.
As a result, everyone else standing on the bus slumped forward like rice stalks, while Li Chang'an remained standing upright.
"Oh dear! I'm sorry..."
Behind Li Chang'an, a woman wearing a baseball cap accidentally bumped into his back.
The woman in the baseball cap breathed a sigh of relief after Li Chang'an shook his head to indicate that he was alright.
However, this collision also made her notice Li Chang'an's strange behavior.
She noticed that no matter how much the bus shook, the handsome younger brother in front of her remained as still as a tree.
Looking at Li Chang'an's closed eyes and hearing the strange hissing sound of his regular breathing, the woman in the baseball cap even wondered if he had already fallen asleep.
But how could he stand so steadily when he's asleep?
No, even if a normal person doesn't sleep, it's impossible for them to stand that steadily on a vehicle without any support!
Just as the woman in the baseball cap was curiously looking at Li Chang'an, she suddenly saw a hand reach into Li Chang'an's pocket under the cover of the crowded people.
He's a thief!
Just as the woman in the baseball cap was about to offer a reminder, Li Chang'an's seemingly relaxed outstretched hand suddenly moved.
With a sudden jerk and pull of the wrist, like a snake retracting its head, it first evaded the other person's fingers, then grabbed the other person's wrist with its other hand.
A white snake coils around a branch!
Li Chang'an's palm was pressed against the other person's wrist bone and quickly spiraled and twisted.
"ah--!"
A scream suddenly came from inside the bus.
A thin man wearing a mask was seen holding his dislocated, red right hand as he stumbled and bumped into the handrail of the bus.
"What is the ghost screaming?"
The driver's impatient voice came through.
"No...it's nothing, I just twisted my arm."
"Then be careful."
Seeing that the driver and the people around him were no longer paying attention to him, the thin man breathed a sigh of relief.
But his resentful little eyes still quickly swept over Li Chang'an, who was "sleeping" with his eyes closed, and he thought to himself that he had really kicked a hornet's nest this time.
The woman in the baseball cap who witnessed the whole thing was even more surprised.
This young man dislocated the pocket boy's wrist in an instant. Is this the kind of kung fu seen in TV dramas?
But why didn't he just point to the pimp directly?
After the brief interruption, the bus continued on its way.
In the latter half of the race, Li Chang'an remained asleep with his eyes down.
Aside from making strange hissing sounds, he remained motionless, his wallet sticking out of his pocket, but no one dared to touch it anymore.
After careful observation, the woman in the baseball cap also noticed that the young man with the purse had been exchanging glances with a man wearing glasses.
Are they in cahoots?
Sure enough, the next moment, she saw the bespectacled man quietly approach the old woman sitting not far from her.
The woman in the baseball cap immediately looked at Li Chang'an. Her intuition told her that this skilled younger brother must have also noticed, and she hoped that Li Chang'an could help the old woman.
However, Li Chang'an remained standing motionless with his eyes closed, as if everything around him was irrelevant.
Seeing that the bespectacled man had quickly switched the bag next to the old woman while she wasn't paying attention, the woman in the baseball cap couldn't hold back any longer and rushed over to grab the bespectacled man.
"It's a thief! He stole someone's things!"
As soon as she finished speaking, two burly men squeezed into the carriage, and together with the thin man whose wrist had been dislocated and whose face was pale, the three of them formed a triangle and surrounded the woman in the baseball cap.
"Hey beautiful, let go for a moment, calm down and let's make money together."
"Hey, this guy's clothes look expensive. Can you afford to pay for them if you tear them?"
The group spoke politely, but their bodies moved stealthily, closing in on the woman in the baseball cap and trapping her firmly in the middle.
This made her realize that these people were all in cahoots!
After one of their accomplices was arrested, they deliberately stepped forward to pretend to be peacemakers, but in reality, they wanted to muddy the waters and let someone else take the opportunity to escape!
Sure enough, when the surrounding passengers saw that this group of penniless men outnumbered them, they all lowered their heads.
Just then, the bus arrived at Kowloon Station and stopped, and the rear door slowly opened.
The bespectacled man, whose hand was being held, immediately exchanged a glance with his accomplice beside him. The group of men exerted their strength at the same time and slammed their hands into the wrist of the woman in the baseball cap.
"ah--"
The woman in the baseball cap gasped as her hand was knocked away, and the cap slipped off her head.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the bespectacled man broke free, grabbed the stolen cloth bag, and rushed towards the car door.
Seeing that the woman still wanted to chase after the bespectacled man, the thin man with the dislocated wrist cursed under his breath and raised his hand to slap the woman in the baseball cap across the face.
"Fuck your mother, you busybody!"
Just then, a foot suddenly stretched out from the sky, tripping the bespectacled man.
The other large hand moved with lightning speed, firmly gripping the thin man's wrist as he swung it out. The force was so great that the man gasped in pain.
The woman subconsciously raised her head, and without the baseball cap to conceal it, her pair of charming peach blossom eyes suddenly widened.
There was even a razor blade hidden in that slapping hand!
If I were slapped, I would definitely be disfigured. If I were hit in the eye, I might even go blind!
"I'm sorry, ma'am. Since the 'Pocket Kids' operate in teams, I had to lure everyone out before I could make my move. I'm sorry you were frightened."
"Thank you... My name is Chen Yuesheng, what's your name, little brother?"
Li Chang'an casually dislocated the thin man's other hand, and amidst his cries of pain, gave Chen Yuesheng a shy smile.
"Sister, my name is An Changli."
