Chapter 37 (1/2)
Bounty Hunter Circle (Part 1)
Linda attacked first. It’s still another pretty high kick. However, her leg didn’t reach her target. The black man has a short stature. So, he leaned his body away and her left leg swept through. Linda lost her center of gravity and fell down directly.
Zhou Jian secretly shook his head. Although he didn’t understand much about fighting, but he knew that it’s good to abstain from using high kicks. Although high kicks are pretty, but the center of gravity isn’t stable. So, it’s easy to catch the opponent’s leg or directly swept down.
After Linda fell, the black man strangely cried out, quickly moving his legs. Linda rolled to get up but she didn’t blindly rushed in. She observed, and then attacked the black man from the side.
However, the result is still the same. The black man allowed Linda to attack, and then took the opportunity to push. Linda fell to the ground once again.
This time, Linda felt like she was a child coping with an adult male. Any attack that she did was invalid. The gap in strength is too big.
Linda’s heart was vigorously unwilling to concede. She jumped to the black man’s side before rus.h.i.+ng forward and swept her leg against him. This time, she’d learned astutely and lowered her own center of gravity so that she wouldn’t fall down.
However, she didn’t expect that after her leg connected. The black man was still standing like a portrait. But her own leg was like kicking a sheet of iron. It’s painful to the point of breaking.
Was this man’s leg made of iron? Linda didn’t need to speak much. She knew that her leg was already bruising.
The black man had learned Linda’s movement beforehand and extended his index finger and slowly swayed it at Linda. His facial expression was extremely arrogant.
Zhou Jian also somewhat couldn’t bear it this time. That person had been practicing his leg skills by kicking the sandbag since childhood. After a point, he would kick a tree instead. After being kicked for a few days, the thick trees would lose a layer of bark. For the average man, kicking like this would make the leg swollen instead. This simply couldn’t be compared. Linda was after all Chu Qing Yun’s friend. Furthermore, this time she came to the underground bank to guide him. Although they had some dispute because of the matter of the Chinese civilization, he couldn’t bear to see her being bullied.
He went up to prop Linda and said: “Don’t fight anymore.”
Then, he ignored Linda’s objection. He faced the black man and said in English. “We admit defeat. Let’s stop here.”
The black man frozed for a while, and then laughed haha. “If you want to admit defeat, sure. You just have to let your woman nicely accompany me tonight.”
Zhou Jian frowned and asked Linda in Chinese. “What did that guy said?”
Linda ill-humouredly replied back to Zhou Jian, her voice full of grievance and anger: “Even if you understand, what’s the use. Usually, you didn’t exercise. And now we’re being bullied up till our house door. Do you think we can leave after admitting defeat?”
Zhou Jian was depressed. What’s this TM (tl: curse word) obstructing us for. He didn’t provoke anyone after entering the underground bank. He already lying to be gunned down. (tl: already acting all meek and everything.)
The three Caucasians noticed that although Linda complained to her boyfriend, he didn’t dare to do anything. They excitedly called out “Gook”, “Chinaman”, all those kinds of slurs against the Chinese and Asians. Although they didn’t understand the Chinese language, they are able to hear out that Zhou Jian is a Chinese.
This “Gook” is similar to how the Chinese called out the Westerners the “White Devils” or “Big Foreign Horse”, but the nature was different. When the Chinese called out the Westerners, they were in a envious state, rather than derogatory. For example, if who married a big foreign horse, or who married a white devil, the storyteller original intention was to has a humorous expression without the malicious intention. Unless they didn’t consider giving face, they wouldn’t say this in front of the Westerners. But the Westerners are different. Although they publicize racial equality, but there is an innate sense of superiority in their bones.
