Chapter 89

【Please recommend, please collect, please three rivers~~~】

People are resilient. This moment proves it.

The carriage was packed, with people squeezed together without a single gap. When these two started fighting, a large space was suddenly cleared. Cheers and encouragements, fueling the conflict, and attempts to mediate and stop it—all kinds of human nature were instantly revealed.

"What are you fighting for? What's there to fight about!" Pushing through the crowd, Li Shier quickly squeezed into the circle and shouted sternly.

"You crippled bastard, I'm hitting my own hammer, what's it got to do with you?" The Sichuan man glared.

"Si, Si, back off, roll as far as you can!" The Shaanxi man pushed.

The two spoke disdainfully and instantly formed a united front. They didn't even look at Li Shier but stared at Dugu Fu. Li Shier was disabled, though he looked strong, he was more for show than use. Dugu Fu, on the other hand, was young and robust, the kind who could be ruthless and impulsive. His expression showed a hint of caution.

In the next second, Li Shier's fist, as big as a bowl, hammered down on the two men's heads: "With such poor judgment, you dare to come out and cause trouble?" One punch each, and the two men were knocked out cold, as if a Buddha had appeared and another ascended to heaven.

Ignoring Li Shier, with a grandmaster like Gong here, would they dare? The two ruffians thus fell instantly.

"Damn! Damn!" The crowd dispersed, filled with disappointment, regret, and frustration. The show was too short.

Squeezing through the crowd back to his seat, Li Shier looked at Dugu Fu: "See, this is the result of you bringing two weak women on the journey."

Dugu Fu smiled slightly, unperturbed: "Brother, do you really think such a small trick can fool me?"

What small trick?

In the Thirty-Six Stratagems, this is called "Deceive the East, Attack the West."

The two were putting on a show nearby to draw the attention of the surrounding people. Then, their accomplices in the crowd would take the opportunity to steal the belongings and wallets of the onlookers. But here, they weren't stealing property; they were stealing... two living people.

After the chaos, the boss lady and Guo Xingxing were gone! They had been quietly taken away by the two men's accomplices.

"Did you see that? Aren't you going to do anything?" Li Shier raised his eyebrows.

"Brother, didn't you do anything either?"

"I want them to know the dangers outside, not to think that after hanging around with you for a couple of days, they can run around in the world. When I rescue them from the human traffickers, they will understand these lessons." Li Shier crossed his arms, speaking confidently.

"I want to show you that weak women can also make it in the world. Don't forget, the girl Gong Er you were trying to save a few days ago was also a woman. When they take down the human traffickers, you will see that you were wrong..."

"Want to bet?"

"On what?"

"If I lose, I'll make you a pair of top-quality white wax rods."

"If I lose, Brother, I'll make your broken leg grow back."

"What?!" Even Li Shier, who was bold, was shocked.

"Brother, don't be surprised. In multiple dimensions, such technology is common."

"Alright, it's a deal!" Li Shier nodded and shook hands with Dugu Fu to seal the bet.

The two smiled at each other, knowing that what they had just said was all nonsense. If Li Shier found a good white wax rod, would he forget to make a pair of weapons for Dugu Fu? Or if Dugu Fu had a chance to fix a broken leg, would he deliberately let it pass just because he won the bet?

While talking nonsense, the two pushed through the crowded crowd, heading in the direction of the two women.

As they moved, Li Shier suddenly smiled: "Brother, do you really think I'm the kind of person who discriminates against women?"

"Uh, this?" Dugu Fu didn't think so, but his behavior over the past two days...

"I do have some of those thoughts, but I wouldn't be so petty as to quarrel with a little girl..." Li Shier slowly explained, leaving Dugu Fu speechless and tears streaming down his face.

His emotional intelligence really needs some training! Really!

==========

At the same time, at the rear of the train.

The train rumbled forward, with thick smoke billowing from the engine, sweeping back like a ribbon. The smoke occasionally swept through the carriages, especially the rear ones.

The carriages were filled with smoke and dust, and with so many people, they felt like saunas. Whenever the smoke swept through, coughing could be heard. Occasionally, there were the sounds of chickens and ducks "clucking" and "quacking," and dogs and cows "barking" and "mooing"... because this area was close to the livestock cars.

In the chaos, two shifty-eyed men dragged Guo Xingxing and the boss lady, pushing through the crowd, "Move! Move! Damn, can't you see?"

They walked with smiles on their faces: "We made it! We really made it big this time!"

"Indeed, who would have thought we'd find such prime catches on the train! If we send them to the Hundred Flowers, they'll earn thousands of dollars a month!"

"The key is they have no background. Look at their clothes and appearance... tsk tsk..." They shook their heads, looking at the two women as if they were country bumpkins.

"Ugh..." Guo Xingxing's face turned red with anger.

Bear with it, just a little longer, the boss lady signaled with her eyes.

I... ugh! Guo Xingxing gritted her teeth.

As the saying goes, the soft fear the hard, and the hard fear the ruthless.

These two human traffickers, with their vicious looks, moved smoothly through the crowd.

Even if someone found it strange that these two were dragging two unwilling beautiful girls, they would lower their heads and say nothing when they met the traffickers' fierce gazes.

In a few minutes, they had passed through four or five carriages, pushed open a side door, and revealed a hidden room to the two women.

The room was cramped but lined with soft cushions and wall hangings, giving it a surprisingly luxurious appearance. Inside, it was as crowded as outside, but with women, young and beautiful.

Some were dressed simply and disheveled, with worried faces, sobbing softly; others were dressed elaborately but had a worldly air, standing lifelessly.

The arrival of new people didn't attract much attention. A few turned to look, then turned back, continuing to cry or stare blankly.

Sure enough, this was a gang, specializing in trafficking women. Their suspicions confirmed, Guo Xingxing and the boss lady exchanged a glance and nodded.

The two traffickers pushed them into the room and were about to lock the door when it was suddenly held open. The two women each grabbed a hand on the door: "Are you going to sell us and all these sisters?"

The two traffickers were taken aback, sneering, "You finally figured it out." But the next second, their smiles vanished. Their faces turned ashen, and they trembled like leaves!

Why?

Because the boss lady and Guo Xingxing each reached into their clothes, pulled out a gun, and held two strange gadgets, pointing them at the two men.
