Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

After turning two more corners, Su Bai came to this place, which was not far from St. Mary's Primary School.

The thrilling scenes that just happened on Edo Road are still vivid in my mind, including the gunshots, shouting, screams from people being shot, and the neighing of frightened horses...

"There are only three of them..." Su Bai murmured.

"Don't worry," Wan Qili said to Su Bai, "After sending you back to St. Mary, we will go back to check. Your safety is the most important thing. It concerns the lives of countless people!"

Su Bai knew that it would be equally dangerous for Wan Qili and Xu Tianyi to go back, but she didn't know what to do at the moment and could only let them go.

Maybe the gunshot was too close; my head was still buzzing after I returned to St. Mary's.

Doctor Miao and Doctor Du came over immediately and asked Su Bai with concern what had happened and why the others hadn't returned.

"I don't know, let me be quiet." Su Bai felt limp all over and had no strength at all.

At this time, Dr. Shi and Zi Yan also came out. These people had been waiting for Su Bai to come back and had not slept yet.

Several people helped Su Bai back to the office, which was also where Su Bai and Dr. Shi rested.

Doctor Shi poured Su Bai a glass of water: "It's good that you're back. We were all very worried."

It turned out that Dr. Miao and Dr. Du handed over the hired carriage to Liu Yimiao and then walked towards St. Mary.

Along the way, the two had a disagreement over whether or not to go back to help. They stopped halfway and simply sat down to argue, but in the end they could not reach a consensus.

They were not far away when the gunshots rang out on Edo Road.

They soon realized that it was most likely that Miss Lan and her friends had gotten into a fight with someone.

They knew that the people around Miss Lan, regardless of gender, all had guns.

At this point, the two of them quickly reached a consensus that there was nothing they could do to help.

The two ran all the way back to St. Mary's Primary School, naively thinking that they could only ask Captain Jiao for help because he had people and guns.

He was stopped by Doctor Shi. Captain Jiao's soldiers were all at the front line and it was impossible to withdraw even a single soldier.

Captain Jiao found out about this and asked his guards to change into plain clothes and go get the information. This was all he could do.

Even though he was prone to swearing and had a hot temper, as the head of a regiment he was well aware of the pros and cons. The action of Chinese soldiers entering the concession with guns was a big deal, not just an ordinary one.

In desperation, he could only sigh and wonder, when can these red-haired and green-haired devils be driven out of China?

Dr. Shi has the clearest mind. If something really happened to Dr. Lan and the others, Dr. Lan must be rescued.

She immediately ran to find Vice President Zhang who was already fast asleep, but he was helpless. Who could she find in the middle of the night?

Can only wait.

Vice President Zhang's opinion is the same as Dr. Shi's. If Lan Jieru cannot come back today, he will use all his connections tomorrow. If she falls into the hands of the Concession Police Station, he will rescue her at all costs.

But the key is that Lan Jieru must be alive.

Now, seeing the person, Dr. Shi was very happy.

"Wait." Su Bai was powerless to do anything for the others and could only pray for them.

It was already past two in the morning when Su Bai returned to St. Mary's. Wan Qili sent her to the school gate and turned back.

Less than an hour later, Wan Qili and Xu Tianyi came back, dejected.

"They..." Su Bai was most afraid of hearing them say that the person had been found, but...

"We didn't find it." Wan Qili told Su Bai that she and Xu Tianyi had not even been able to return to Edoya Road before they discovered that all the intersections in the International Settlement were blocked. This time, the police acted really quickly.

Wan Qili, who was familiar with the road, drove and tried two other routes, and even took a detour into the Chinese area, trying to enter the International Settlement from the Chinese area, but she was unsuccessful. Instead, she was chased twice when she refused to be stopped by the police.

"Don't worry, bandits are all lucky." Xu Tianyi comforted Su Bai.

"Bandits? Who are the bandits?" asked Dr. Shi.

Wan Qili quickly took over the conversation and said that Xu Tianyi and Liu Yiyan were always arguing with each other and calling each other bandits and living bandits.

Doctor Shi asked everyone to go to bed. Tomorrow morning, after all departments had arrived at work, whoever had connections in the two concessions would have to use them. She would also go to find Vice President Zhang, and together they would go to the Health Bureau and the City Government to inquire and seek help.

I stayed half asleep and half awake until dawn, and vaguely heard a lot of people talking outside.

When I turned around, Dr. Shi was no longer on the bed next to me.

Su Bai stood up and just put on her shoes when Wan Qili ran in and told her that Liu Yiyan was back.

After saying this, she shook her head.

"died?"

Wan Qili shook her head again: "She has been taken to the operating room. I'm afraid... it's hard to say."

"Where are Tietou and Chang Shunbao?"

"Chang Shunbao was injured, but it's okay, Tietou is fine."

"Let's go and take a look!" Su Bai and Wan Qili came to the operating room. There were already many people standing outside.

"Where are Tietou and Chang Shunbao?"

Dr. Miao told Su Bai that Xu Tianyi took Tietou to take a shower, and Chang Shunbao was in another operating room, and Zi Yan and Dr. Du were treating his wounds.

It was Doctor Shi who instructed everyone not to disturb Su Bai.

"Take a bath? Take a bath for what?" It's really weird.

"They...are covered in feces," said Dr. Miao.

Su Bai and Wan Qili came to Chang Shunbao's operating room and smelled a strong odor as soon as they entered the door.

Zi Yan pushed Su Bai and Wan Qili out: "He can't speak yet. You can only smell the stench if you stay here. Tietou will tell you everything after he takes a bath."

Su Bai and Wan Qili came out of the operating room. Wan Qili told her that Liu Yiyan and the others were not chased because they hid in a cesspool. This was all she knew, and she would let Tietou explain in detail later.

"There are still cesspools in the city?" Su Bai didn't understand.

Wan Qili told Su Bai that although people in Shanghai are used to using toilets, many public toilets have pits.

Under the prefabricated squat toilets in these toilets is the manure pit, or it would be more accurate to call it a manure pool.

Su Bai understood that Liu Yiyan and his people were really resourceful and could think of such a trick.

Wan Qili said it was lucky that there was such a toilet on their escape route.

Lucky?

Su Bai smiled bitterly. It was uncertain whether Liu Yiyan would live or die. It was hard to say whether he could survive this disaster.

Xu Tianyi came back with Tietou.

What happened was pretty much the same as what Wan Qili said. She indeed saw such a toilet when she heard sirens and gunshots and felt there was no way to escape.

Tietou said that it was fortunate that most of these patrolmen were useless people who could not run fast and were not good at shooting, otherwise they would not even have a chance to hide in the cesspool.

At this point, Tietou started to cry: "The commander... was shot many times."

"He saved my life again!"

After the truck and Su Bai and the others evacuated, Liu Yiyan also began to fight and evacuate at the same time. When he temporarily suppressed the patrol's firepower and was about to turn around and run, Liu Yiyan realized that he could no longer walk.

Tietou carried him on his back and ran, while Chang Shunbao covered him and ran.

There were more and more patrolmen behind them, and the bullets were getting more and more frequent. Tietou didn't know how many times Liu Yimei on his back was shot, but he blocked the bullets for him anyway.

Chang Shunbao was injured when he was almost near the toilet.

Wan Qili's statement was similar to Tietou's. These patrolmen usually only catch thieves and maintain public order, so they have no combat effectiveness at all.

"Is this considered lucky?" Su Bai asked.

Seeing that Su Bai was unhappy, Wan Qili stopped talking.

Actually, it's just luck.

After Dr. Shi entered the operating room, he did not come out until noon.
