Someone is trying to get past him without paying, so he takes a single 扌 finger and hooks into their shirt collar, then 拉 pulls them back so fast they stumble backwards ten feet before falling to the ground. Then he takes out his bow and 拉 pulls it back, ready to take out the dude if he tries to sneak in again.
