Chapter 23: Acting Bravely
Today is Saturday, and many people go out to play in the city on their day off.
In addition, there are only two buses going to An County, No. 5 and No. 10. Before Chen Jue got on the bus, he saw a carriage full of people.
In addition to the middle school students wearing colorful school uniforms, most of the people were old men and women in their fifties and sixties, as well as middle-aged women dressed up in fancy clothes. All of them were crowded in one carriage, and the atmosphere was very muddy.
Chen Jue swiped his e- , and seeing that there were no seats available, he squeezed into the back seat.
According to his previous experience at school, there are still about ten stops before entering the city, and at least half of the passengers will have to get on the bus. It is better to leave some space for the people who get on the bus later.
"I haven't taken a bus like this for a long time! I miss it so much!" Chen Jue looked at those familiar school uniforms, and there was even the school uniform of Longshan High School where he used to study.
No, it should be called An County No. 2 Middle School now.
However, after getting on the bus, Chen Jue found that many people were looking back at him. Obviously, like Zhou Jingjing, they were attracted by the almost perfect skin and temperament on his face.
"This uncle looks too young!"
"Great skin!"
Most people who come from rural areas do not have adequate nutrition, and many old men and women have pale faces.
Even those students, who eat, dress and spend the same as the city kids, few of them have skin complexion comparable to Chen Jue's.
After all, the 97% health index and 1.57 physical attribute on the panel are no joke! They are simply based on the most perfect human standards.
In addition, after Chen Jue practiced boxing, his temperament began to become somewhat outstanding, so it was normal for him to attract attention.
…
The bus stopped and started, and when it arrived at a bus stop called Taoxian Village, three soldiers in military green short-sleeved shirts squeezed on.
The three soldiers stood tall and straight, each of them was at least 1.8 meters tall, with dark skin obviously from daily training and were tanned. As soon as they got on the bus, they attracted a lot of attention.
Chen Jue also looked at the three soldiers. He knew that they were all from an army unit stationed nearby. When he was in high school, he would occasionally meet a few of them on the bus during weekends. He didn't expect that after so many years, he would run into them again on a casual trip into the city.
After getting on the bus, the three soldiers started talking and laughing, looking very approachable. However, their military alertness made them all notice Chen Jue, who stood out among the ordinary people.
After all, Chen Jue's current appearance is indeed quite eye-catching, almost like a crane standing out among a flock of chickens. In addition, he is standing in a relatively conspicuous position at the back of the carriage, so it is impossible not to pay attention to him.
"Did you see that gentle guy with glasses?"
"I see! She's so white!"
"Don't be a sissy, right?" The three of them whispered in private, glancing over from time to time.
Chen Jue also noticed the gazes of the three people and responded with a smile. The three people then felt that it was a bit impolite and quickly withdrew their scrutinizing gazes.
…
The bus stopped and started, and when it arrived at a stop on the outskirts of the county town, many students and adults got off the bus.
However, since they had not yet reached the downtown area of the county town, Chen Jue planned to sit for two more stops.
However, soon after the car started, an old lady in the car suddenly screamed: "Ah! My wallet and cell phone are missing! Someone stole them!"
The pig-slaughtering scream scared everyone so much that everyone in the car subconsciously touched their pockets.
"Auntie! I actually saw someone touching your phone just now... That person was very fierce and glared at me. I didn't dare to say anything for fear of retaliation..." A middle school girl in school uniform said with a pale face.
The three soldiers came over and said, "Don't be afraid, little sister! We are here! What does the thief look like? What clothes are he wearing?"
The girl nodded and stammered, obviously frightened and a little flustered: "He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and holding a red plastic bag. He was short, had a dark face, and had very small and scary eyes. He got off at the stop just now."
After the girl gave a rough description of the thief's appearance, the three soldiers hurriedly asked the bus driver to stop the bus and open the door. The three of them planned to get off the bus and chase the pickpocket who had escaped.
After all, the car had only driven less than 300 meters out of the station. If we arrived in time, we might be able to catch the thief.
The bus driver was also very cooperative. He pulled over, opened the back door, and asked the three people to get off quickly.
However, what the three soldiers didn't expect was that just as they got off the car and before they could start running, they heard a voice in their ears: "There is strength in numbers! I will go with you to chase them!"
When I looked back, I saw Chen Jue, the pretty boy, swiftly jumping out of the car through the window at the rear of the car.
After several days of practicing martial arts, Chen Jue began to become bolder than before.
In addition, he had kung fu skills, so he was very interested in such chivalrous and righteous deeds. As soon as he got out of the car, Chen Jue displayed the momentum he had used in the past few days of mountain climbing, kung fu training, and running to buy groceries!
He even took a leap forward, mixing in the Eight Immortals Posture's moving skills, and his speed was so fast that he even surpassed the three soldiers who were unable to react in time by several body lengths.
"What the hell! Get off the horse?"
"martial arts master?"
"Have we encountered a civilian martial artist?"
Several extremely absurd and strange thoughts flashed through the minds of the three people. They originally thought that they had met a fair-skinned sissy.
I didn't expect him to be so well-hidden! I really underestimated him before!
The three of them chased for more than 300 meters, but they still couldn't catch up with the pretty boy who looked a little bloated!
As for Chen Jue, he was running while keeping his eyes open in all directions. He sprinted as fast as he could, heat rushing through his body. His strong physical attributes began to take effect, and with his successful training in the past few days, he actually ran 300 meters in one breath without getting discouraged!
The three soldiers behind him obviously started to slow down a lot, and their distance from him became larger and larger, about 20 to 30 meters!
When he reached the bus stop, Chen Jue immediately saw a panicked guy not far away.
The pickpocket was originally waiting for the next bus, intending to change to another one to continue committing crimes. He squatted at the door of a small shop behind the station and smoked as if nothing had happened. He did not notice that the bus at the corner in front of him had stopped temporarily.
When he looked up and saw the four figures chasing him, one of them was actually in uniform. He was so scared that he immediately turned around and ran away.
"Black short-sleeved shirt, red plastic, it's you!" Chen Jue saw the man's appearance clearly and felt delighted. He exerted force on his feet and his figure was able to speed up again in a short time.
Although Chen Jue's strength and agility attributes were not outstanding, he had superior physical strength. He had also practiced martial arts and knew how to exert force and power.
With a leap, as if jumping over a hurdle, he jumped over the more than two-meter-wide green belt beside the bus stop and rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, he had shortened the distance between the two of them.
This pickpocket was not a good person either. He seemed to have eyes on his back and moved very quickly. He dropped the red plastic bag in his hand and ran away.
They chased each other like this for more than 200 meters before Chen Jue felt that the little black guy in front of him had slowed down, and the sound of heavy breathing came to his ears from the front.
"He's dying!"
Seeing that he was only a few steps away from catching up, Chen Jue pounced, stretched out his hand, grabbed the pickpocket by the back of the collar and threw him to the side of the road.
He lost his balance and flew out, but before falling to the ground, he twisted his waist and performed a difficult somersault called the bow-over-stern move from the Eight Immortals Posture, with his legs up, shoulders and head down, and he did a parabola -like , then landed steadily, turned around, turned back again, and pinned the pickpocket to the ground!
Within a few seconds, the three soldiers caught up from behind, and the four of them subdued the pickpocket together.
But seeing these people were all panting heavily, including the black pickpocket who was also panting and sweating profusely, it was enough to show how intense the chase just now was.
As for Chen Jue, he did not breathe a sigh of relief. After handing the pickpocket to the three soldiers, he stood on the spot in the Eight Immortals Posture, letting out a long breath of hot air. The pores all over his body, which had been closed at some point, suddenly relaxed, and a stream of white sweat visible to the naked eye poured out from his whole body, leaving the people around him stunned!
