After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Xi Zhenghe looked directly into the other person's eyes for a long time, then nodded: "I understand."

Zhu Can leaned against the chair to steady himself. He didn't understand what the other person was saying, but he noticed that the other person was not wearing a hospital uniform, his hair was messy, and he looked exhausted.

"Where are you going..."

"Zhu Can, listen to me first."

Zhu Can was called by his name and stood there in a daze. Xi Zhenghe pinched Zhu Can's shoulders with both hands and forced the two to look at each other very closely.

"The vanguard army is about to attack. I just went to the Zhu family's house to look for you, but everyone has left. The house is deserted. There's a note in your bedroom from Dada saying that Mrs. Zhu bribed the ferry and asked you to meet up there as soon as possible."

The sound seemed to be out of sync with the picture. Zhu Can first saw the other person's lips moving very quickly, and it took a few seconds before he heard the information.

"They're all gone!?"

Xi Zhenghe nodded, picked up the saw behind the table and stuffed it into Zhu Can's arms, then hugged him and pushed the door open to walk out.

"We have to hurry. We don't know if we'll make it in time."

"Where are we going to the ferry?"

Zhu Can never expected that what was just a few news items in the newspaper would now force him to leave the land he was familiar with immediately. Although the Zhu family where he had lived for more than ten years had many bad things, was he going to leave in such a hurry today?

Everyone in the family is gone, all of them? What about his father?

Xi Zhenghe didn't know the details. After finding the note, he immediately guessed that Zhu Can might be looking for him, so he hurried on his way. On the way, he met a familiar servant of the Zhu family who came to bring a message. Unfortunately, before he could say a few words, he was dispersed by the military and police who rushed out to loot.

Xi Zhenghe watched helplessly as the man was hit in the sternum by the raised horse's hoof. Everyone was shocked and scattered. The military and police ended a young life with two random shots. The road seemed to be frozen in an instant, and there was no more extra sound.

Xi Zhenghe pulled Zhu Can out of the door quickly.

Originally, Xi Zhenghe planned that if he was no longer in his office in the hospital, he would have to find a way to go to Wang Cheng to find a solution.

Fortunately, he guessed right.

Zhu Can was holding a saw and following in a panic. He was out of state for the first ten seconds. Xi Zhenghe didn't have time to wait for the other party to slowly accept it, and almost pulled him up to fly.

After a while, Xi Zhenghe felt the resistance in his hand decrease, and his wrist was suddenly grasped forcefully. "Zhenghe, let's go this way."

Zhu Can held the saw in one hand and held the man's wrist with the other, and walked through the alley according to his memory. He followed Nabu and Dada through this shortcut. Although it was narrow and winding, the advantage was that it could avoid the soldiers who were trying to take advantage of the situation.

The Zhu family still had a lot of money he had saved up, and he just hoped that Dada could collect it all when he left.

The two of them ran all the way. There seemed to be flickering lights in the distance in the night. In the extremely dark light and shadow, Zhu Can's face was like a silver fish that jumped out of the water in an instant, and then sank into the quiet deep sea the next moment.

Zhu Can didn't exercise much on weekdays, so he relied entirely on his determination. When passing by a Western-style building, he paused slightly. He saw that the iron door of the building, which had been well renovated by Mr. Zhu, was wide open, and the inside was empty and dark, with no living creature left.

Zhu Can felt empty inside, knowing that his father must have gotten the news long ago and chose to flee far away with his new wife and children a few days ago.

"Walk."

In the cold and restless moonlight, Xi Zhenghe saw that Zhu Can's face had turned pale. He could only shake the other's hand and urged: "If you delay, something bad will happen."

Zhu Can nodded, his expression still grim. Even while running for his life, he still had the energy to chatter about something else: "Zhenghe, where did you get this saw? Did the hospital let you do some plant work?"

Xi Zhenghe lowered his voice: "For surgery."

"Surgery? Saw what? Saw a person?"

……

"Or just pout?"

Zhu Can's mind raced, he imagined the scene, and laughed out loud at an inappropriate time.

When the two were almost at the ferry, they heard a commotion. Zhu Can was about to duck and hide in a bamboo basket at the corner, but when he turned around, he saw the tall Xi Zhenghe, who had nowhere to hide and had already raised the scalpel he had brought with him some time ago.

"Force yourself?"

Zhu Can was about to get halfway in but was about to pull out when Xi Zhenghe pushed him back in. Zhu Can was still trying to climb up when two ragged men who seemed to be chasing someone accidentally broke in. One of them was holding a long stick and they bumped into Xi Zhenghe head on. They didn't fight back and took advantage of their numbers to grab the watch on Xi Zhenghe's wrist.

Xi Zhenghe dodged sideways, and the thin and narrow scalpel slashed through the opponent's face with a silver light.

"Go! Or I'll slit your throat next time!"

Who would have thought that the two people opposite were actually desperate criminals. At this moment, they were aroused and rushed forward with just a curse of "Fuck him".

Xi Zhenghe stepped back to avoid the stick that the first person swung at his head, but the stick of the second person hit his right leg directly. As he fell to the side suddenly, Xi Zhenghe grabbed a stick in a flash and pulled it down, and the scalpel "pop" pierced into the side of one of the men.

The screams overlapped, and when Xi Zhenghe tried to roll over to avoid the attack from the second person, Zhu Can's saw successfully got stuck in the shoulder of the second person.

"Oh my God! I'm sorry!" Zhu Can was frightened by the blood spurting out. He said sorry while sawing harder.

"Let's go first." Xi Zhenghe got up, ignored the two people still howling on the ground, and pulled Zhu Can and ran. As soon as they got out of the alley, they saw the back of a rich lady in cheongsam running frantically in the opposite direction in the alley opposite.

The ferry was just around the corner. The two crouched low and crept into the darkness. The dim oil lamps swayed in the sea breeze like dozing eyes.

"Eighteen, nineteen, two...Uncle Lin!"

"Hush! Master, I finally got you!"

Zhu Can was so delighted that he almost wanted to hug Uncle Lin. Uncle Lin pointed to the small fishing boat behind him and said, "My wife and the others had to leave before the port closed in the afternoon. We have to take this small fishing boat!"

"Okay, no problem. Dada's going too, right?"

"Yes, I left with my wife. We have to hurry. Another wave of soldiers will come to check in the evening!"

"Okay," Zhu Can pulled Xi Zhenghe's sleeve, "let's get on the boat quickly."

The sleeve suddenly slipped from Zhu Can's hand. Zhu Can turned around and saw Xi Zhenghe, who could no longer stand upright and limped back half a step.

"You go with your family."

Zhu Can opened his eyes wide, looking at Xi Zhenghe's unclear features in the darkness, and watched him retreat further and further away.

"I can't come with you. I have things to do here."

"Zhu Can..."

"Have a safe journey."
