Chapter 185 The Avengers Appear
After all, the child is a child and will not hide his illness. He immediately became energetic as soon as he felt better and even accused her of talking nonsense like a little adult.
Zhou Ruoyu laughed and said, "Pfft, no, no..."
When Xiao Li got better, Director Zhang was completely relieved. Once people relax from high mental tension, they will feel sleepy. He didn't eat anything and just slept in the upper bunk on the other side.
It was indeed getting late, and the noise in the aisle of the carriage was getting less and less. The passengers, who were already thirsty after chatting all day, returned to their shops and prepared to go to sleep.
The situation was very different from when we came here. Because there was a VIP on the bus, there were no more vendors selling eggs and white steamed buns with baskets in the aisle, and no passengers leaning against the window with their hands folded and wiping their noses from time to time.
They didn't understand. It was Gu Changhong who said this after personal observation: bandits and highway robbers usually disguise themselves as vendors or honest passengers, but there seemed to be no such people on the bus today. Those who needed to be eliminated had been dealt with before getting on the bus.
Not only Zhou Ruoyu but also Li Ming felt relieved. They should be able to sleep well tonight.
Zhou Ruoyu should have slept on the upper bunk, but she was afraid that Xiao Li's illness would relapse, so she simply lay half of her body beside Xiao Li. The rattling of the train seemed to have an excellent sleeping effect, and she felt drowsy.
She was half lying beside Xiao Li, with her head supported by her elbows and her eyes slightly closed.
Someone gently moved her elbow, and she started, then suddenly opened her eyes. Standing in front of the shop was a little girl, about seven or eight years old. She looked thin and dark under the dim light.
She was so thin that Zhou Ruoyu couldn't bear to touch her. It seemed as if the child would fall down if she was touched casually. What a pitiful child.
The little girl looked at the two men sleeping on the other side, raised her index finger to her lips and made a silencing gesture: "Shh..."
From the time Zhou Ruoyu stood up to the time she put on her shoes, her eyes were fixed on the little girl. Seeing that she was being stared at, the girl pursed her lips and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a part of her forearm.
Under the light, the forearm, so thin that the bones were clearly visible, was covered in blood, with new and old scars.
Zhou Ruoyu's breathing hitched, and she moved faster than she could think. She grabbed the girl's arm and asked softly, "Did someone hit you?"
The girl could only swallow her saliva aggrievedly, as if this was the only way to hold back her tears.
Then she rolled up her other arm, looking just as miserable. It's easy to empathize with people when they're mentally confused. Zhou Ruoyu stood up, pulled the little girl up, opened the curtain, and walked into the hallway. "You're looking for my help, right? I can help you!"
Although the voice was low, the attitude was very firm. The fact that the abuser could attack such a girl who was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable was enough to show that he didn't want her to survive.
The little girl, still holding back her tears, grasped Zhou Ruoyu's wrist tightly with her skinny hands, and moved her lips. Seeing that she seemed to want to speak, Zhou Ruoyu leaned down and put her ear to the little girl's mouth.
But she didn't wait for the girl to speak, instead she saw the girl's body suddenly leave the ground and fall heavily several meters away.
Everything happened too suddenly. Zhou Ruoyu looked up in panic and saw a familiar figure standing beside her - Gao Weiguo!
"Gao..." She pointed at the girl on the ground with a puzzled look on her face, but before she could say anything, she saw several big men rushing up from behind Gao Weiguo.
One of them grabbed Gao Weiguo's neck, while the other pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed him in the chest. Gao Weiguo was obviously prepared. Although his neck was being grabbed, he used the force of the person behind him to kick the hand holding the dagger in the air.
With a "dang bang", the dagger fell to the ground. The man just shook his wrist and continued to pounce. Instead, he seized the opportunity and hugged Gao Weiguo's dishonest thigh from the side, which completely made Gao Weiguo unable to move.
All this happened within a few seconds. Zhou Ruoyu had no time to react. She was stunned!
The person who could control Gao Weiguo could not be an ordinary citizen, or in other words, he could not be a bandit who developed from among the ordinary people and went astray in order to make a living.
Their movements were nimble and skillful, and no movement was superfluous.
The hands precisely clasped Gao Weiguo's throat on the inside of his clavicle. With such force and precise positioning, a grown man would have died within ten seconds.
In a moment, just a moment, Zhou Ruoyu reacted.
She suddenly turned around to look at the little girl who was kicked away by Gao Weiguo, but she was gone!
The gang committed the crime with the intention of taking their lives!
She was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She picked up the dagger that Gao Weiguo had kicked to her hand, rushed over, and stabbed the man who was hugging Gao Weiguo's thigh in the back of his neck!
The man was determined to kill Gao Weiguo first because he was skilled, but he didn't expect Zhou Ruoyu to attack him from behind. He had no time to dodge and the dagger pierced deeply into his back!
Blood spurted out immediately, and Zhou Ruoyu was unable to dodge. The blood sprayed all over her face, even blurring her eyes...
After wiping her face, she watched the man limply loosen his hand from Gao Weiguo's thigh. Zhou Ruoyu's heart was beating like a drum: She! Killed someone!
The great fear made her body tremble constantly. The blood sprayed on her face flowed down her cheeks warmly. She breathed heavily and stared at the limp man with wide eyes.
Although Gao Weiguo's legs were no longer shackled, his breath seemed a little weak because his vital points were locked.
The man who was strangling him obviously did not expect that the woman could wield a knife to hurt people.
His face was fierce, and he roared softly behind him: "Kill that woman first! She's causing trouble!"
In an instant, two more men came out from the box next to them, and without any hesitation, they rushed towards Zhou Ruoyu with daggers in their hands.
How could Gao Weiguo easily do as they wish!
His eyes widened, his face flushed crimson, veins bulging on his forehead. He gripped the man's fingers tightly around his throat, straining with all his might to break free from the deadly restraints.
At the same time, his leg muscles tensed, like a taut bowstring, accumulating immense strength. Seizing the perfect moment, he suddenly raised one leg and unleashed a fierce sweeping kick with lightning speed.
The kick was extremely fast, with a whistling sound, and accurately kicked the calf of the man who was about to rush towards Zhou Ruoyu.
The man had been charging forward aggressively, but was caught off guard by the sudden attack.
There was a dull "bang" sound, and he lost his balance and flew straight out like a cannonball, then fell heavily to the ground in a mess.
Zhou Ruoyu swallowed hard and breathed heavily.
The man lying at her feet still had a dagger stuck in his back. She suddenly grabbed the handle of the dagger, pulled it out with all her strength, and then stabbed the fallen man in the back!
