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

"Ah? No way?" Xu Tianyi stood up from the grass.

"You two are pigheads, big pigheads!" Wan Qili pointed at the two of them and cursed.

Su Bai was still lying on the grass, looking at them and smiling.

600 miles from Shanghai to Nanjing is not bad, but that is the shortest way.

But now, we have taken a road that may be the longest and most difficult one.

In fact, it is just a detour, of course it is much farther.

"Yes, little pig head," Xu Tianyi returned the word "pig head" to Zi Yan: "We are now..." He rolled his eyes: "In the south of Shanghai, or in the southeast!"

"It's southwest." Su Bai corrected with a smile.

Wan Qili then told everyone that, under normal circumstances, one would go from Shanghai to Nanjing via Suzhou or Wuxi, but our route took a big detour.

Go south, then west, go around to the south side of Taihu Lake, and then go north from the west side of Taihu Lake, without passing through Wuxi at all.

It is impossible to reach Nanjing today. I have to rush to Huzhou before dark and stay one night. I will set off early tomorrow morning and arrive in Nanjing in the afternoon.

"Come on, Xu the fool," Wan Qili patted Xu Tianyi on the shoulder, "You drive the rest of the way!"

"Yeah!" Xu Tianyi quickly agreed.

Zi Yan looked at Xu Tianyi with contempt and said, "Look how happy you are when someone calls you a big fool."

"Let's go and have a good rest when we get to Huzhou!" Su Bai stood up from the ground.

In fact, even Wan Qili didn’t know how many kilometers away from Nanjing she was after taking a detour. This was also her first time to Huzhou.

After we set out again, the road conditions were much better, and we kept encountering cars, horse-drawn carriages, and pedestrians carrying loads and baskets on their backs.

It was just getting dark when we arrived in Huzhou.

They only felt hungry at this time, so they had a delicious meal and returned to the inn to rest. Xu Tianyi and Zi Yan strolled around the streets of Huzhou for more than two hours with great interest.

Huzhou seemed to be completely unaffected by the war. The people were talking and laughing, and everything was in order.

Damn war, damned invaders!

What’s even more infuriating are… the inactive bureaucrats, the speculators who profit from the war, and the fools like the Military Intelligence Bureau’s Special Investigation Team.

Su Bai realized that penicillin could not save China.

Wan Qili said that this was due to the corruption, incompetence and ignorance of the late Qing Dynasty and the years of warlord fighting that led to the country's weakness, and Su Bai partially agreed.

After the two of them expressed their feelings, Su Bai said to Wan Qili: "Let's not talk about national affairs, let's talk about you."

Su Bai was worried that Wan Qili would be punished by the Military Control Commission after returning, but Wan Qili said that as long as Su Bai and the others could return to Longxing smoothly, she would be fine.

Luo Pinzhang could make up all her lies.

Individuals are not allowed to use the Military Control Commission's radio station at will, especially for middle and lower-level officers like Wan Qili. If they want to contact Su Bai again in the future, Wan Qili will have to find a radio station to send a message to Su Bai.

That's not something that can be done all the time.

"Sister, from now on, every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, you should turn on the radio according to the notification time you agreed with Long Xing before!"

"It's not like we're going to the temple to burn incense, so why do we have to choose the first or fifteenth day of the month?" Su Bai decided to leave a radio for Wan Qili, and Long Xing would have another one, so he would take two radios back, making a total of three radios.

"What do I need so many radio stations for? Open a business to sell them?"

Wan Qili smiled. Several of her classmates had commercial radio stations at home, so it was not difficult to find a place to send a message to Su Bai.

She couldn't take the radio because it might bring her unnecessary trouble.

Su Bai understood that the relationship between him and her might be known by the Military Control Commission's superiors at any time, and it would be difficult to explain if a radio was found in her home again.

Wan Qili said that this was what she meant. She had discussed this with Luo Pinzhang and thought that if it was discovered by the special investigation team, it might be a good thing.

"How can it be a good thing?" Su Bai was puzzled.

Once the special investigation team discovers the relationship between Wan Qili and Su Bai, they will inevitably isolate Wan Qili for investigation, or even detain and interrogate her.

In this way, Wan Qili would have enough time to explain to them Su Bai's experiences over the past six months and the difficult process of applying for approval of penicillin.

Due to the importance of penicillin on the battlefield, they would definitely verify everything Wan Qili said.

Luo Pinzhang will not be idle either. He will ask people from St. Mary's Ambulance and St. Peter's Basilica to testify again for Su Bai.

The murder of Dr. Kang dominated the anger of Liu Xiaowen, who was hurt by love, and Dr. Miao and Dr. Du, who were beaten by Xu Tianyi. They incited all the rescue team to jointly file a complaint. Some people who believed in Su Bai did not dare to tell the truth under such circumstances.

Also, Dr. Shi, Captain Jiao, Captain Yang, and the thousands of soldiers who were saved by penicillin...

A reinvestigation could easily turn the matter around.

"Sister," Wan Qili grabbed Su Bai's hand and said, "You know how difficult it is for us to report it level by level according to the normal procedures. They may not even give us a chance to speak."

Su Bai shook his head after hearing this. What kind of world is this? Does such an extreme method have to be used to get things done?

"It would be best if they don't find out about our relationship." Su Bai said to Wan Qili, "If they do, just clear yourself of the problem. Forget about the penicillin issue."

"What does forget it mean?" Wan Qili broke free from Su Bai's hand and stood up.

"Do you think penicillin can save China? Can it cure these corrupt officials who are already rotten to the core?"

Su Bai told Wan Qili that she had already decided that even if Dr. Shi was disabled, she would go to Wuhan to produce penicillin. After she had taken care of Long Xing's affairs, she would go to Wuhan to meet her.

There is no need for any bullshit approval anymore. The produced drugs can be directly supplied to the military and hospitals that need and approve penicillin.

Wan Qili was silent, she couldn't refute Su Bai.

But Su Bai believed that she would still implement it according to her own ideas, and he could not persuade her.

After all, if she wanted to clear herself of the blame, she would inevitably have to make the innocence of Penicillin and Su Bai a prerequisite.

Wan Qili grabbed Su Bai's hands again. She could only send them to Nanjing. The Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing was where the two sisters would say goodbye.

Take a boat from Xiaguan Wharf across the river to Pukou, and there are long-distance buses heading north only from the north side of the river.

I don’t know when we will meet again after this separation.

Su Bai felt very uncomfortable. She understood that as a soldier and a member of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station, there was a high probability that Wan Qili would stay in Shanghai and continue her underground work after the fall of Shanghai. How difficult and dangerous would that be?

Su Bai, who was already exhausted after being jolted for most of the day, did not sleep well that night.

It’s more than 400 miles from Huzhou to Nanjing in the north. By noon, the city wall of Nanjing could be seen from afar.

When they set out this morning, the four of them put away their military uniforms. According to Wan Qili, we, the captain-level officers, will be nothing once we enter Nanjing. Even the Military Control Commission would not dare to show off our power here.

"Look, that's Guanghua Gate!" Wan Qili said, pointing to the city gate tower in front.

"Wait, wait!" Wan Qili suddenly asked Xu Tianyi to stop the car.

"What's wrong?" Xu Tianyi asked.

"No, there's something wrong!"
