pick up jade

The cannons outside the city rang all night.

Yu Dongrong stood by the phone, dialing one after another impatiently.Finally, he put down the phone and sat down slumped: "I'm afraid... I can't keep it here."

Over the years, there have been internal and external troubles.The government army and the revolutionary party are fighting every day, and they are going to "suppress bandits" every three days.However, the government is also divided into several factions, and they fight from time to time.The little devil occupies the outside of the pass, and everyone knows his ambitions, but his superiors are just blindly vague.It wasn't until the artillery fire was really aimed at the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in the north, Yanbei Center, that everyone realized that no matter how chaotic it is, it's just the tossing of their own family; only this time, the country is really going to perish.

The Yu family in Weiyang had already started packing their luggage overnight and planned to go to Jiangcheng for a while.Yu Dongrong knew he had to go too.The youngest, Yu Chunrong, is the main combatant in the government, with a loaded gun in his hand, he has long made the little devil displeased.Now, once the whole front goes to war, the family members who stay in the north will probably have to make meat tickets.

He looked at Xiao Yulin who looked worried, and said with difficulty: "I'm afraid... I have to go."

Xiao Yulin whispered: "I know."

Yu Dongrong was a little surprised: "You know?"

Xiao Yulin looked down at him with a sad expression: "You are different from us. It's like a fisherman fishing. When the net is cast down, the small shrimp can slip through the cracks and pass, but the big fish can't escape." He reluctantly Smiling: "You can't keep playing, after you finish playing, don't you have to come back." He looked at him with a little expectation: "Qi Ye, you will come back."

How can such a thing be said accurately?Although Yu Dongrong is treacherous when doing business, he is the most trustworthy.He couldn't make an illusory promise to Xiao Yulin—that was a lifetime of cheating for Xiao Yulin.

He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and wanted to be selfish: "Are you coming with me?"

Little Yulin's eyes slowly opened wide.But that light quickly dimmed again: "I can't leave. I signed a contract with the team. Besides, if I leave, who will take my place?"

Yu Dongrong closed his eyes.He was a jovial person by nature, but at this moment his nose was sore.He settled down, as if comforting Xiao Yulin, and also comforting himself: "It's not that fast, wait and see."

That's what I said, but I had to prepare my hands.The things that should be disposed of cannot be kept, and the goods that should be transported should be transported as soon as possible.It is clearly the dog days, but everyone's heart is cold.The shops on the street were closed by [-]% to [-]%, and the doors of ordinary people's homes were also tightly closed.Sometimes passing by the side street occasionally, I just feel like an empty city.

Occasionally, Yu Dongrong would have other thoughts, doubting whether his elder brother's decision to move his family westward was right or wrong.Now there is not a single family in the city running out, and they still live their own lives.If the whole Yu family left, it would be too conspicuous.What's more, Yandu is so impenetrable that even the northern pivots with well-equipped defenders can't be defended. Can other places really be able to defend?He is also a person who has experienced artillery fire, and knows that this city is the most stable place in the north when there is a war in the past.Life in the most stable place is hard to survive, can there really be a way for them to survive outside?

The news of the peace talks will appear in the newspapers every three to five times, but it is quickly shattered by the sound of artillery fire again and again.Yu Dongrong could see clearly that the little devil was delaying the time, and the city was about to collapse.

Before the railway line was broken, Yu Dongrong disguised the last few batches of urgently purchased medicines in cloth goods, sent them south in small batches, and kept some of them for his reliable buddies to hide for later use.

He has always been a hamster, hoarding everything, money, goods, everything he can think of.But now the more he hoards, the more uneasy he is, and he is almost going crazy.

Like the people in the whole city, he heard the news that the commander of the garrison outside the city had died for his country in this kind of fear.Before every family had time to cry and pay homage to these soldiers, plaster flags had already been planted all over the city.

At first, everyone hoped that the government in Jinling would take some action, but then this idea gradually faded away.The cities around Yandu fell one by one, and Weiyang was not spared.The checkpoints for leaving the city have been set up heavily, and the inspection of materials entering and leaving the city has become more stringent.

The most terrible thing is that the devils sealed Weiyang's port.

This means that the northern port's line to purchase materials from overseas has been broken.As soon as this road was cut off, the batch of western medicines that Yu Dongrong had hastily hoarded in his hands became the only rare goods left.

Of course, Young Master Yu Qi knows better than anyone how important medicine is in a war.

At this juncture, even if I want to leave for a while, I can't leave.The north has already fallen, and things left can only be cheap little devils.He had to find a way to transfer this batch of supplies.

Because he couldn't get away for a while, his heart settled down instead, and he continued to carefully plan the business on the shop floor—as long as he stayed here, he couldn't ignore the livelihood of the staff below him.Furthermore, if one day the shops and foreign companies are really closed down, the money for dismissal must be prepared for others.After all, they are all old people who have followed him for so many years.

The little devil has occupied the city, and it seems that he does not intend to burn, kill and loot with great fanfare.Yet everyone feels their scourge.There are more and more Japanese pirates on the street, and they are arrogant.The common people were bullied and had to swallow their anger.

All walks of life carefully maintain their daily lives in order to survive.The theatre, too, is open—everyone wants to eat.But from time to time, a team of soldiers rushed in and picked up the audience one by one for inspection, which was really frightening.

Because of the strict inspection, it is very difficult to transfer materials out, and only a small amount can be carried out in bulk goods.In this way, more than a month passed in a flash.The last batch of supplies was gone, and there was no reason to keep them.

When Xiao Yulin came over at night, he came in through the window.

Yu Dongrong had just finished writing a letter and was sealing the envelope with wax.Seeing Xiao Yulin, he smiled helplessly: "I told you not to come here."

Boss Zhou looked down at him: "There are people watching outside, it's been several days."

Young Master Yu Qi sighed: "I know. Let them be happy. I'll leave tomorrow night, and someone will pick me up at the station. Come here, no one will notice, right?"

Xiao Yulin shook his head.

Yu Dongrong looked at him seriously: "Don't come here in the future. Remember, I'm just a movie fan of you, and you don't know anything else."

Xiao Yulin looked at him quietly: "I know."

When he looked down at Young Master Yu Qi, his eyelashes were still long and dense.He originally had sharp eyebrows and eyes, but looking at Yu Dongrong now, he looked very gentle.

Young Master Yu Qi suddenly wanted to cry.I only hope that after he leaves, it will be as Xiao Yulin said, no one will make things difficult for Xiao Xiami.He pressed the letter on the table, forced a smile and said, "Take this letter away tomorrow, and put it away at home. If the ghost soldiers come to your house to trouble you, you can press it in a conspicuous place." .”

Xiao Yulin took it over and looked at it, and it was written in foreign languages: "What is the reason for this?"

"A person I used to do business with is from the East. When people see you write to him, they will think that maybe you have connections with them, and they won't embarrass you in many things." Yu Dongrong smiled wryly: " I know this method is unseemly, but if I can deal with it safely, it is better than being a traitor."

Xiao Yulin put down the letter: "Well, I know."

How could Yu Dongrong feel at ease?He has a stomach full of words that he wants to tell him.In the future, without him watching by his side, Boss Zhou has such a stubborn and stubborn temper, how much he has to wait to eat.

He whispered: "In the future, be more mellow and don't be stubborn. The world is no longer what it used to be, and guns are unreasonable."

Xiao Yulin sighed: "I know."

He seems to be able to say these three words tonight.Yu Dongrong looked up at him, sad and gentle: "What do you know?"

Xiao Yulin did not speak, but stretched out his arms to hug Yu Dongrong.He is now much taller than Young Master Yu Qi.

Yu Dongrong said in a low voice: "Because Ye Xiaodie participated in Shenjiang's Cultural World Salvation and Preservation Association, the house here was copied by the little devil... Boss Qin entrusted me with his family property, and said that he couldn't keep it by his side. But I Thinking, I don’t know how long the days will be in the future, so I left a sum of bridge money for each of you at the old shop on Gulou Street. You also put away the foreign currency notes you prepared earlier. If there is a fight in the city, you Just hide in the restaurant of the third lady on the Embassy Street. Little devils don’t dare to provoke foreigners. Here... don’t come here again after tomorrow, so as not to be watched by others and cause unnecessary trouble..."

Xiao Yulin didn't speak, and pressed his warm lips to the side of Yu Dongrong's face.

Leaving this day, it seems that it is no different from the past.In the morning, as usual, I went to work at the trading company.The manager knew that he was going to leave, so he only shook Yu Dongrong's hand tightly when he sent him out.Young Master Yu Qi patted him on the shoulder, turned around, got into the car, and went to the theater.

There are still many spectators, but the atmosphere is not as lively as before.Because the time has not yet arrived, there are only ordinary entertainers on stage.The work frame is neat, but there is a vague lack of energy in that neatness.Young Master Yu Qi sat there and watched a fold of the play, then got up and walked out quietly.

Leader Cao was not far behind him, and said in a low voice, "Master Qi, take care of yourself."

Yu Dongrong nodded: "You too. Tell the manager if you have something to do, don't be polite. After Tongle Building, it's up to you to decide."

Leader Cao nodded and sighed: "It's not good to make a big show, let the steward send you off."

Yu Dongrong shook his head: "It's all arranged, no need."

Ms. Yao San helped to handle the certificates, and they passed the customs smoothly.Many people at the train station are traveling with their families, and they are all going out of town.The two people arranged by his elder brother had already been waiting in the station with their luggage.Yu Dongrong glanced down at his watch, and walked directly to the platform: "Put your luggage on it first, and go early in the morning."

Amidst the din of his ears, he somehow raised his head as if he felt it.It was a mess all around, and I looked around and saw nothing.Seeing him looking around, the bodyguard comforted him: "I just watched it, no one followed along the way..."

Yu Dongrong gave a absent-minded hum, still looking around, as if he had to see something to be at ease.His eyes turned and turned, and suddenly froze.

Xiao Yulin stood disheveled under a pillar not far away.Seeing Yu Dongrong looking over, he grinned brightly.

The corners of Master Yu Qi's mouth curled up following him.His nose suddenly became sore.They stood there looking at each other across the crowd, looking at each other for a moment, and no one wanted to look away.

The bodyguard glanced at the big clock and urged, "Qi Ye, the car is about to leave."

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.A group of security guards rushed towards the platform.Yu Dongrong looked at a clerk in the trading company in shock, and pointed to himself beside the leader: "Where is Lord Yu Qi!"

Immediately there was a deterrent gunshot on the platform: "Don't move!"

When the gunshot rang out, everyone panicked.Those who didn't get on the train rushed to the train, and the rest of the people seeing off were in a mess without thinking, and screams sounded from time to time on the platform.

The bodyguards protected Yu Dongrong and squeezed into the car.However, it was too messy, and I couldn't go up at all for a while.At this moment, with a strong force behind him, Young Master Yu Qi was ripped off.The bodyguard received the task of desperately escorting him to safety, so he also jumped down immediately and scuffled with the security guards.

Yu Dongrong struggled desperately, but the strength in his body suddenly loosened.Looking back, I saw Xiao Yulin grabbing his captor and punching him in the door.Seeing Yu Dongrong looking over, he yelled at him: "Get in the car!" and pushed him up desperately.

The whistle sounded.There was also gunfire among the sirens.

Xiao Yulin's body went limp and fell on the platform.Young Master Yu Qi only heard his heart skip a beat, and then his eardrums were pounding with blood.He jumped out of the car, without thinking, picked up the gun that fell on the ground, rushed up and gave the traitor holding Xiao Yulin a gun butt.The opponent fell down.

Young Master Yu Qi gritted his teeth and picked up Xiao Yulin, and ran towards the moving train.Xiao Yulin gritted his teeth and pushed him: "Go, leave me alone..."

Yu Dongrong shouted: "Shut up!"

The bodyguards had knocked out the last few vigilantes.The car drove faster and faster, he jumped on the door and reached out to pull Yu Dongrong.Young Master Yu Qi pushed Xiao Yulin up hard without even thinking about it.Then he ran desperately, grabbed the car door and struggled up.

As soon as he got into the car, his body went limp, as if the immense strength just now was an illusion.Young Master Yu Qi touched Xiao Yulin's face with trembling hands, tears streaming down his face: "Where is the injury?"

Xiao Yulin whispered: "...it doesn't matter..."

Yu Dongrong lowered his head and looked at his bloody underwear, his voice changed: "Just lie to me..." Together with the bodyguards, he helped Xiao Yulin up and squeezed through the crowded carriage.

Fortunately, the road was messy, with crying fathers and mothers everywhere, and no one paid any attention to them.

When they arrived at the box, another bodyguard rushed out to meet him impatiently. Seeing that Yu Dongrong was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately...otherwise I would have to hold my head up to see the uncle."

They looked around to make sure no one was there, and quietly closed the door.Yu Dongrong undressed Xiao Yulin tremblingly.Bloody and soaked inside.The bodyguard was born and died, and he didn't see anything. After checking it, he breathed a sigh of relief: "God bless, I didn't hit the vital point." Some admired: "After being shot three times, you can still survive. "

Xiao Yulin didn't speak.

Yu Dongrong looked at Xiao Yulin's injury.The two places on the thigh and the side of the waist were scratched by bullets, only the one under the ribs was the most dangerous. The bullet embedded in the flesh, and the surrounding skin was completely opened, forming a bloody hole the size of a fist. The flesh was white, It's ribs.If it is a little bit off, it will hurt the internal organs.

The bodyguard drew out the dagger, wiped it carefully with white wine, and skillfully pulled out the bullet for him.Xiao Yulin's body bounced back in pain, but he clenched his teeth tightly, making no sound at all.

The bodyguard sighed: "The rib is broken."

There was only one small bullet with blood on it, and it was already distorted and deformed.Fortunately, the bullet did not shatter and cause more damage.Thinking about it, it was probably bounced from somewhere before it landed on Xiao Yulin.

Yu Dongrong looked at the horrific wound, feeling frightened for a while.If it is a little bit more biased and penetrates into the body...he dare not think about it.

The medical conditions on the train were limited. They washed Xiao Yulin's wound with salt water and bandaged it properly.Yu Dongrong turned out his clothes and put them on for Xiao Yulin.Xiao Yulin's body seemed to be washed—it hurt.

Yu Dongrong frowned: "Is there any morphine?"

The bodyguard hesitated: "Yes, yes..."

"What are you doing in a daze! Get an injection!"

The two bodyguards looked at each other, and finally did as he said.Xiao Yulin got the injection and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Yu Dongrong covered him with a thin blanket, was silent for a while, and said slowly, "How did the eldest brother arrange it?"

The bodyguard said in a low voice: "My lord means to let you go to Jiangcheng to take a ferry to Yuzhou, and then transfer to Rongcheng from there. The master's arrangement is also the same."

Yu Dongrong glanced at Xiao Yulin worriedly: "I want to stay in Jiangcheng."

The bodyguard persuaded: "Everyone knows that Jiangcheng is prosperous and the conditions are good in all aspects. But the uncle must have his reasons for making such arrangements. He is a man who marches and fights. In my opinion, you should listen to him."

Yu Dongrong stopped talking.

When it was dark, the train stopped.The bodyguard opened the curtain vigilantly and looked outside, his expression became uneasy: "It seems... there are devil soldiers getting into the car..."

Yu Dongrong looked at the sleeping Xiao Yulin - he had no documents.He quickly found out the pile of documents that Miss Yao San had prepared for him. There were many documents in it, which were originally prepared by Miss Yao for an aunt at home.The aunt was sick all the year round, and because she heard that the whole family was moving westward, her condition got worse, so she finally chose to stay instead of leaving.Yao Yueying gave the extra certificate to Young Master Yu Qi.

"Maybe it can be used." She said at the time: "Let's prepare a set of wigs and clothes for women, maybe." Yu Dongrong laughed at her at the time for reading too many novels, but now she silently thinks: If I can see her again Miss Yao San, I must prepare a big gift to thank her for taking precautions.

He dug out a wig from his luggage and put it on Xiao Yulin's head.

The two bodyguards got up and left.

Yu Dongrong heard Japanese whispers coming from far away in the carriage.He helped Xiao Yulin up, cut his finger with a knife, squeezed a little blood and smeared it on Xiao Yulin's pale lips, then let him rest his head on his shoulder, pulled up the blanket to cover the two of them, Pretending to be asleep.

The sound of searching was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at the door.Yu Dongrong held Xiao Yulin's hand tightly under the blanket.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of wooleewala finally went away, and finally disappeared slowly.The train whistle sounded again, and the train moved on.

The bodyguard came back, sat opposite Yu Dongrong, and comforted him: "They got out of the car."

Young Master Yu Qi nodded, turned his head and found that Xiao Yulin had woken up at some point, and his voice was weak: "Master Qi..."

Yu Dongrong kissed him on the forehead without hesitation: "It's okay. But you can't go back, you have to go to Rongcheng with me."

Xiao Yulin was silent for a moment, then smiled and sighed: "It's fate."

Young Master Yu Qi hugged his head and let him rest on his shoulder again: "Well, it's fate."
