pick up jade

Xiao Yurong covered her face, grinned and wanted to cry again.Qin Meixiang was overwhelmed by his anger. Before she could say anything, she saw Old Hu jumped out of the rickshaw with her splayed feet, and while running, she shouted, "Boss Qin, it's not good!"

Qin Meixiang looked at him in surprise: "What's the matter? Take it easy!"

The old Hutou propped his hands on his knees, panting and said: "Rong Guan'er can't leave the city today, the city gate is closed!"

Qin Meixiang's heart skipped a beat: "Which city gate is closed?"

The old beard took a breath, waved his big hands and said, "The seven gates of the outer city are all closed!"

These days, the gates of the city have been properly closed for only one reason: there is another fight outside!

It is reasonable to say that the cannons cannot hit the city, but whenever it is fired outside, the city will follow in chaos.Why do we have to rush at this juncture?

The old Hutou looked at his carriage and urged: "Everything else is slow, go hide with us first. Your place is too bright." The area where Wu Lianrui and Yu Dongrong lived It is next to the embassy, ​​and it is a deep alley, which is indeed much safer than Qin's house, which is close to the street.

Qin Meixiang made a decisive decision: "Then thank you very much."

Xiao Yurong immediately stopped crying, half of her face was swollen, and she said joyfully, "Yes, yes, yes..." He took off his baggage from the car: "It's not too late..."

Qin Meixiang pressed her temples, and told the two old ladies to pack up quickly and go to Yu's house together.

Xiao Yulin was already waiting at the door.Seeing them coming, he drove the car into the yard neatly.

Everyone entered the door, and immediately closed the door.Then they worked together to block the gate of the courtyard with a large water tank filled with stones.

Qin Meixiang's ears were sharp, and she could hear sporadic gunfire in the distance.No matter how many times one goes through a war at home, it still makes one feel flustered.Who knows what will happen next moment.He looked at the old beard worriedly: "Has Master Qi sent a letter recently?"

The old Hutou shook his head: "No. But it was agreed earlier that if something happens, I will take you over. Master Yu just wrote a letter a few days ago and said that the situation is not good recently, so please be prepared." He comforted Said: "Don't worry, old man, I have spent most of my life in the city, and there has never been a mess for more than ten days. Our place is a treasure! We have enough food and vegetables at home, so take care of it."

Qin Meixiang felt relieved: "I also brought some things, which are on the top of the car. Let's put them together later. Thank you for taking care of us."

The old Hutou shook his head: "Hey, you are welcome. I am tired all the way, let's go to the house and rest."

Qin Meixiang nodded, turned around, and saw Xiao Yurong climbed onto the courtyard wall at some point, her neck stretched like a goose.Before he could say anything, he saw the little monkey jump over the wall!

Qin Meixiang was stunned, and jumped up two steps in three steps.The old beard stared down in a daze: "What... what's going on here?"

Xiao Yulin sighed maturely, and helped Mama Xu and the others unload things.

Qin Meixiang had just jumped off the wall when she heard Xiao Yurong's screams from inside the room, and Wu Zhiying's roar: "Don't hit him, it's not your turn to hit him yet!"

He hurried in and grabbed the stick in Wu Lianrui's hand: "Senior brother!"

Xiao Yurong stood behind Wu Zhiying in disgrace, her voice was like a mosquito: "You...you listen to me... I didn't start in chaos and end up giving up. My senior sister and I are in love, and I want to marry her..."

Wu Zhiying's eldest brother, Wu Zhikun, spat on the ground: "My sister and the Han family have been engaged for a long time. You little bastard has made people pregnant, and where is the face of the Wu family and the Han family? I will leave you today." Killing both of them can be regarded as an explanation to the Han family!"

Qin Meixiang was a little anxious: "Martial nephew, this is the end of the matter, it's still easy for everyone to talk and discuss..."

Wu Zhikun is not good at singing, but the bastards in the three teachings and nine streams have learned ten percent of their virtues.He didn't care about Qin Meixiang's identity, and immediately opened his mouth to curse.The implication is that the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked, Qin Meixiang is crooked, coaxing his father to steal the Wu family's unique skills is not counted, and now she instigates Xiao Yurong to hug the Wu family's thigh, even stealing art and eating soft food, so shameless !

Qin Meixiang's face turned red and white, and Wu Zhikun's loud voice suppressed her when she wanted to speak a few times.In the end, Wu Lianrui yelled: "Shut up!" He turned to Xiao Yurong, gnashing his teeth: "I want to marry my daughter, but I don't want to piss and take pictures of myself! No matter how bad the Wu family is, they will never give up their daughter." Marry a little bastard like you." He turned to Wu Zhiying: "The Wu family's family style has completely ruined you! The evil seeds in your stomach can't stay, after you finish the abortion, come with me to the Han family to make an apology!"

Wu Lianrui's wife, Mrs. Zhang, stood aside and cried: "I can't help it, what should I do if someone dies?"

What Xiao Yurong wanted to say was stopped by Wu Zhiying: "Father, you know more about Han Lichuan's virtues than I do. How can he avoid eating, drinking, whoring and gambling? Do you want me to marry such a person?"

"We have been friends with the Han family for three generations. We have been married from generation to generation since the time when the Shengping Department sang operas. And what is the status of the Han family in the Liyuan, and what is the status of this little bastard you see?" Wu Lianrui was not angry. From one side: "You ruined your whole life by yourself! Now that it's all over, who would want you?"

Wu Zhiying flicked her braids: "I won't beat the child, and it's not your turn for Rong Guan'er to teach you a lesson. Look at the Han family, just marry yourself!"

Wu Lianrui was so angry that she fell on his back, picked up the stick and tried to strike again.Xiao Yurong yelled and stood in front of Wu Zhiying, and closed her eyes tightly in fright.

The stick is blocked.

Qin Meixiang tightly held Wu Lianrui's hand: "Brother, listen to me!"

Wu Lianrui panted heavily, and also said to him in a vicious voice: "What else is there to say now!"

Qin Meixiang calmly said: "Abortion is not a trivial matter, and there are as many people who lose their lives. Zhiying is so young, she must not take this risk. The face of the two families is of course important, but Zhiying's reputation is even more important. In such a field, there is no other way. It is better to make the mistake and let Rong Guaner and Zhiying get married..."

When his voice fell, Wu Zhikun yelled strangely: "He is a thing that people sleep with for nothing, what will he use to marry my sister!"

"I'll pay the money." Qin Meixiang said earnestly: "Brother, now I only rely on your word. As long as you nod, I will definitely be able to invite someone who can speak well in the pear orchard to make this marriage."

Mrs. Zhang also persuaded from the side: "That's the only way, Old Wu, you can't really watch your daughter die, can you?"

Wu Lianrui took a few breaths, and suddenly said, "Is it true that the surname is Lu?"

Xiao Yurong languished, looking at Qin Meixiang pleadingly.

Seeing his expression, Wu Lianrui didn't understand, and suddenly became angry: "It's not enough for me to be in the fire pit, I want to drag my daughter into it too!"

Before the words fell, there was a commotion outside, screaming and gunshots.

The room was silent.

After a while, the noise outside finally passed away.Qin Meixiang pulled Xiao Yurong over and said in a low voice: "It's not peaceful outside these few days, everyone should not go out. As for the matter of Rong Guan'er and Zhiying, let's wait until the outside is safe. Brother, you should think about it too. .”

After speaking, she dragged the reluctant Xiao Yurong over the wall and returned to Yu's house.

After entering the west chamber, Xiao Yurong was still wiping her eyes, looking pitiful.Qin Meixiang looked at him, unable to say many harsh words.He said softly: "You never thought about how Zhiying will behave after doing that kind of thing?"

Xiao Yurong said in a low voice: "Senior Sister said, Boss Wu won't let her marry me. If we want to be together, we can only do it first and play later."

Qin Meixiang stared at him silently for a while, and Xiao Yurong was furious: "Boss Qin..."

"I blamed you wrongly, I didn't expect Zhiying to be so courageous." He sighed: "Does your face still hurt?"

"It hurts." Xiao Yurong said honestly.

Xiao Yulin silently handed over a box of ointment.Qin Meixiang picked out some and was about to give Xiao Yurong some medicine.Suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard door: "Is Boss Qin there?"

The old beard didn't know where the people outside came from: "Who are you?"

"Just open the door."

Qin Meixiang went out and stood by the door in surprise: "What's the matter?"

"Boss Qin, it's me." The voice of Xiao Lizi, Xu Pingshan's orderly, came from outside: "Open the door."

Qin Meixiang hesitated for a moment, but still struggled with the old Hutou to move the vat away.As soon as the door opened, a group of soldiers in casual clothes rushed in, turned around and closed the door tightly.

Seeing Qin Meixiang who was unharmed, Xiao Lizi heaved a sigh of relief: "Boss Qin, I have found you. The teacher said that if there is something wrong in the city, let us follow you and take care of you."

Qin Meixiang never expected Xu Pingshan to be like this, feeling as if she had knocked over a five-flavored bottle, she didn't know what it was like: "I'm fine. Since there is a war, everyone should go back to your general and protect him Zhouquan. Mei Xiang is just an opera singer, she doesn't dare to work and bother you."

However, his words were useless, a group of soldiers divided the people into several groups in an orderly manner, the gatekeepers, the gatekeepers, and the yardkeepers stood up guarding the Yu family as if it was Xu's house.

Others can be busy with things like cooking.Qin Meixiang and the two children were sent into the room, where they sat staring blankly.

With a dozen more people at once, Qin Meixiang was a little worried about the Yu family's food storage.Fortunately, Hu's mother had guaranteed the ticket, so everyone could eat with peace of mind.

It was chaotic outside at first, but then it became eerily quiet.After nightfall, the sound of gunfire rang out in the distance, Qin Meixiang looked outside, and the sky was red.

He clenched his cuffs tightly, and asked Xiao Lizi softly: "Your master...is there a war?"

Xiao Lizi nodded: "People from the Wu family counterattacked."

How many lives were lost under this understatement.Qin Meixiang closed her eyes, but only the figure of Xu Pingshan holding her head was in her mind.His heart trembled slightly.

I don't know what is going on outside the city, and the doors of ordinary people in the city are closed.No one dared to speak loudly, and stayed in the room most of the time, doing everything quietly.

Xiao Yulin continued to practice kung fu as usual, and didn't seem to take it seriously.The old beard saw it, shook his head and said that he had a big heart.Xiao Yulin didn't take it seriously: "No matter who wins, they have to listen to the show, right?"

In a word, enlightenment.That's right, as long as you don't kill ordinary people, when the war is over, you should still live your life.So in addition to fear, there is a little hope.

Only Qin Meixiang felt a chill in her heart after hearing this.Xiao Yulin was right, but also wrong.He thought, people like them live like ants.

He hoped that Xu Pingshan would win, and if he won, Xiao Yurong would have a chance of survival.He thought to himself again, if Xu Pingshan came back, would they go back to the way they were before?

Qin Meixiang was unwilling.

He was grateful to him, and even had an inexplicable concern.But he still doesn't want to.

In the end, he put three sticks of incense on Guanyin on the altar, thinking, at least let him come back safely.

On the third day, the city was broken.The sound of marching in the street could be heard in the distance.Then came the sound of fire.After three days, it finally quieted down outside.When the person who went to inquire came back, he was overjoyed, saying that he had won, and he drove those bastards out.

The old beard hesitated to open the door, but was held down by Xiao Lizi.It is said that it is still chaotic outside, and some people take advantage of the chaos to grab things.It's always like this every time there are fights, there are always local hooligans mixed in, and the damage caused is worse than bullets and cannons.Because bullets and cannons will not destroy the jewelry at home.

Half of the guards in plain clothes left, and on the seventh day, Xiao Li led the rest of the guards and left too.

The Yu family opened the door, and everyone went out tremblingly.There are already many people on the street, and most of the houses and pavements are the same as before.But there are also accidents, such as food stores and jewelry shops that bear the brunt.The police are all over the streets arresting people, all of them are thieves and robbers who haven't had time to escape cleanly.

Qin Meixiang took the two old mothers home and found that the family had also been robbed.He rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the east compartment where he kept his luggage, and the costumes and hair masks that were too late to hide were messed up, and many of them were defaced.All jewels and gold and silver embedded in it are lost or broken.In contrast, the little foreign literature and things left in the main room are just trivial things.

Looking at the mess in this place, he was so distressed that he couldn't speak for a while.Fortunately, Young Master Yu Qi had the foresight, and all the precious prizes he collected over the years were stored in the vault of the foreign bank.Most of the money was not kept at home, so the tragedy of bankruptcy was avoided.

Reported also reported, it is estimated that little hope.The police station was full of people, some moaning, some crying.It's probably going to be a mess for a while.

If this mess insisted on bringing something good, it would probably be that Lu Zhihe ran away.The newspaper issued a notice to appease the hearts of the people. After a period of distress, as Xiao Yulin said, people had to continue to live.

The business of selling newspapers is booming.Because everyone wants to know what happened.Qin Meixiang gave the newsboy some change and took a copy.Turning over and over, his eyes froze.

Xu Pingshan was injured.

The newspaper was vague, and only said, "It was critically ill at one point, and it was transferred to Renhe Hospital."

Renhe is the largest western medicine hospital in the city, and half of the doctors are foreigners.Qin Meixiang herself was hospitalized last time, and that was also there.Ordinary injuries generally don't make it there.

He was holding the newspaper, and the more he read it, the more flustered he felt.After standing there for a while, he hurriedly hailed a rickshaw and went to the hospital.

The floor where Xu Pingshan was hospitalized was full of guards.As soon as Qin Meixiang entered the corridor, she was stopped and searched.After a search, they were not allowed to enter, and they were directly expelled.Fortunately, the guard of Xu Mansion recognized him and trotted over to make a rescue.

At this time, Qin Meixiang hesitated instead: "General...how is it?"

The man shook his head: "The operation is just finished. Boss Qin, you should go back first. The teacher can't see anyone right now."

Qin Meixiang hesitated for a moment, but left with a heavy heart.

The next day, the newspaper read new news, saying that Renhe Hospital had captured several criminals who intended to attack military and political officials.There is also a short message saying that the surgical ward of Yanhe Hospital has resumed normal admission and treatment of patients.

Qin Meixiang was careful, and when she saw these two pieces of news that were far apart, she suddenly understood something.Xu Pingshan thought he had already been discharged from the hospital.Maybe because the hospital is not safe?He hesitated for a long time, but decided to take a look, otherwise he would always feel restless.

This seems a little ridiculous.He is the one who wants to die, and he is also the one who can't let go.

In the end, he thought, these are two different things.In terms of emotion and reason, even if he is an ordinary friend with a mediocre relationship, he still wants to visit after suffering such a serious injury.

So I asked Mama Xu to wrap up a piece of wild ginseng at home, and carried it to Xu's mansion.

Although he was a familiar face, he was searched a lot when he entered the door.The guards laughed with him, but they were very meticulous in their work.Qin Meixiang understands a little bit, the inside and outside are still not stable at the moment, they are just begging to be careful.

He was led all the way to the bedroom, and when he was still downstairs, he heard Xu Pingshan's angry scolding voice: "...fuck his grandma, I suffered such a serious crime, and I was caught and sent to him, just an understatement Have you recruited people?"

Qin Meixiang paused, almost turning her head and leaving.The bandit is acting again!This voice doesn't look like it's been seriously injured!

As soon as he stopped, he hurried up: "Boss Qin, what's the matter?"

Qin Meixiang had no choice but to lift her foot and continue walking up.At the door, the orderly knocked on the door: "Master, Boss Qin is here."

The swearing and whining in the room stopped abruptly.

Military doctors and staff officers filed out, and everyone left in an instant.There was only one little plum still busy in the room.

The four eyes are facing each other.Xu Pingshan looked at him fixedly.Qin Meixiang couldn't take it anymore, she lowered her eyes first: "Let me take a look at you."

Xu Pingshan's voice was a little hoarse: "Why..."

Qin Meixiang put down the ginseng: "Thank you, General, for sending someone over to take care of you a few days ago. Please accept your kindness." He paused: "You take care of yourself, I'm leaving now."

Xu Pingshan smiled: "It's all here, drink some tea before leaving. I'll be fine soon. You can go downstairs and wait a while."

Qin Meixiang looked up and saw that he had a fresh injury, and Xiao Lizi was applying medicine to him behind him.The orderly served tea and poured water neatly, but it seemed that he was a little bit close to treating the wound.

Seeing Xu Pingshan grinning silently, Qin Meixiang finally couldn't help but said, "Either way, let me do it."

Little Lizi hesitated for a moment.Xu Pingshan glared at him quickly.The orderly put down the things tactfully: "Then there will be work."

Qin Meixiang took off her coat, washed her hands carefully, and slowly turned behind Xu Pingshan.Then he took a small breath.

Those are just small scrapes on the front chest.It's the back that kills, and there is almost no good flesh on the waist and back.He whispered: "How is this..."

"The bombardment blows up the headquarters. Damn, that's bad luck."

"Is... surgery?"

"The shrapnel broke in, and it's more than 20 yuan." Xiao Lizi interjected: "Fortunately, our teacher was lucky and took it out. If you leave a piece and a half, you will suffer in the future."

"Okay, you can go out." Xu Pingshan said impatiently, "Why are you everywhere?"

Xiao Lizi saluted, then ran away in a hurry, and even closed the door behind him.

Qin Meixiang was a little embarrassed, but her hands were still neat.While scrubbing, I could see the muscles on Xu Pingshan's back tensed up and down to the bone, which was painful to imagine.Qin Meixiang carefully applied the medicine to him, and asked softly, "Have you scrubbed the front?"

"Oh, the medicine is finished. Just wrap it around."

Qin Meixiang picked up a clean fine cotton gauze and wrapped Xu Pingshan around him.He has been standing behind Xu Pingshan, this situation is too ambiguous, as if he is half hugging him.

Xu Pingshan's breathing gradually became heavier.When Qin Meixiang's hand reached his abdomen again, it was tightly grasped.

Qin Meixiang's heart trembled, and she slowly pulled her hand away.Xu Pingshan's shoulders collapsed almost imperceptibly: "Last time...I hurt you."

Qin Meixiang didn't speak, walked around to him, and tied the bandage around his waist.He could feel Xu Pingshan's fiery eyes on his head all the time: "I still think about it when I was fighting... After living for so many years, I don't have a serious relationship..."

Qin Meixiang slowly put down her hands, and sighed softly: "I am an actor, and my duty is to entertain people."

Xu Pingshan whispered: "You really don't think about me at all?"

Qin Meixiang didn't speak, he couldn't speak.

Xu Pingshan seemed to understand everything.He carefully took Qin Meixiang into his arms.

It's so warm.Qin Meixiang lowered her head, her eyes were a little sore.

Seeing that he didn't hide, Xu Pingshan slowly turned him from his arms: "I'll wait until you are willing."
