Shanghai morning

It was already broad daylight when we returned to Shanghai. The snow stopped in the middle of the night last night. Today is a rare clear winter day.Even though he hadn't slept all night, Wang Yao still couldn't help looking out the window. He had never looked at this familiar city with such a leisurely mood. Everything seemed a lot newer.

Al drove Wang Yao to the entrance of the alley, and after stopping the car, he suddenly said, "Yao, Merry Christmas!"

"Eh? Oh, Merry Christmas!" Wang Yao quickly returned his blessing.

Al suddenly took out a small packaged box from his coat pocket and held it in front of Wang Yao: "This is for you, a Christmas present."

"Ah? This..." Wang Yao looked at the thing in Al's hand in embarrassment, not knowing whether he should take it, "I forgot to buy you something..."

"No, you already gave me a gift." Al said with a smile.

"Me? When did you send it?" Wang Yao tried his best to recall.

Seeing Wang Yao's dumbfounded appearance, Al smiled and shook his head: "I have already received it, that's all."

"Ah? Then...thank you for the gift!" Wang Yao was still puzzled, but he didn't want to ask too many questions.

Wang Yao got out of the car, leaned as far as possible, and watched Al's car drive away through the mud.The snow in Shanghai can't keep it, it turns into muddy water at the first sight of the sun, and the result of a moment of romance is the sewage and silt that can't be removed in a few days.

Playing with the small box in his hand, foreigners like to wrap their gifts in this kind of colorful paper, which makes people feel flashy.Right now Wang Yao is a bit reluctant to open it, it's a pity that such a delicate package is torn.

"Oh, something has happened! Something has happened!" A pretentious female voice yelled in a devilish manner.

Wang Yao saw that it was Xiaofei wearing a poor-quality red cheongsam.Xiao Fei is a low class girl, born in Nanyang, came to Shanghai three years ago, and has been soliciting customers on the pier.

When Xiaofei spoke, she kept twisting her water snake waist, like a red eel: "Oh, Brother Wang, this is terrible! It's going to kill someone!" When she said this, her red waist was already on the verge of falling. Wang Yao twisted back and forth several times in front of his eyes.

Wang Yao felt dizzy: "You are awkward! Pick up the important ones and say it!"

Xiaofei still couldn't stop twisting, her jade lotus-like arms waved back and forth with the twisting of her body, and the white handkerchief in her hand fluttered along with it: "I just walked past the pier. I, always Can recruit foreigners! You know, foreigners like me like this, white and tender, with watery eyes! So..."

Wang Yao interrupted unbearably: "Okay, okay! Just say what happened? Who happened?"

Xiaofei waved her handkerchief charmingly: "Listen to me! I found an American customer today, and there are so many Americans recently..."

"Don't say it's useless! Who happened to it?" Wang Yao asked annoyed.

"That's about to come. I was walking with the American guests, and I happened to see the porters on the pier fighting with the Japanese boss' thugs!" Xiao Fei twisted her soft body into an incredible twist, and half covered it with a handkerchief. Vermilion lips with thick lipstick.

"What?" Wang Yao's eyes widened all of a sudden, Xiaotai was working as a porter at the dock, "Did you see Xiaotai? Is he in there too?"

"Yes! Yes! How else would I come here?" Xiaofei pushed her chest forward and raised her voice, "Xiaotai was slapped all over her face! The blood is rushing!"

When Wang Yao heard this, his face changed suddenly: "Why didn't you say it earlier! Go and tell Xiaoyue!" He said and ran out in big strides.

"Hey, I haven't finished yet—" Xiaofei still shouted from behind, but Wang Yao had already run away and disappeared.

Running to the pier in one breath, Wang Yao was so exhausted that he was out of breath, but he didn't dare to rest, because when he arrived, the chaos on the pier had escalated, and now it was not only the scuffle between dock workers and Japanese thugs, but also a large number of policemen. At the scene, people are being arrested.Wang Yao saw a few workers lying on the ground at a glance, rushed over to take a look, and sure enough Xiaotai was among them with blood on his face.Not caring much, Wang Yao grabbed Xiaotai and dragged him outside.

Suddenly he grabbed Wang Yao with both hands: "Get up!"

Wang Yao looked up and saw that it was a tall policeman, who seemed to regard Wang Yao as a troublemaker. Wang Yao hurriedly explained: "Sir, I'm passing by!"

"Passing by? Then why are you dragging him?" the patrolman asked viciously.

"This is my brother. I only came here when I heard that there was an accident here. I never thought he would suffer!" Wang Yao shook his head vigorously, trying to appear helpless.

"Then he's making trouble? You can go, leave him behind!" The policeman swung his baton across.

"Oh sir, look at him like this, he has only one breath left!" Wang Yao pretended to be sad, "If you arrest him now, he must die in a prison! Don't you have to pay for the coffin? "

"I don't care about it. I'm here to arrest criminals. How can I release them casually?" The policeman put his hands on his hips, determined not to let Wang Yao take Xiaotai away.

Wang Yao turned his attention, and suddenly asked: "Sir, from your accent, you are from Peiping, right?"

The policeman stared at him and scolded angrily: "Where am I from, it's none of your business? Don't do this!"

Wang Yao quickly nodded and said: "Sir, to tell you the truth, our two brothers are also from Peiping. When we first arrived in Shanghai, this little bastard was only 12 years old. I worked so hard to bring him up. That’s right, not to mention fighting with people, you don’t even dare to step on insects! And you can see that he was implicated, isn’t the leader still fighting there? What’s the use of catching him?”

On the other side, the workers who led the riots were still struggling to resist, despite the beatings from the patrolmen raining down on them.

The policeman thought for a while, and raised his baton: "Take him away! Hurry up!"

Wang Yao quickly thanked the patrol, took a piece of handkerchief to cover the wound on Xiaotai's head, got up and left.

As soon as Wang Yao walked away, the patrolman was called away by his colleagues: "Ah Jing, don't be dazed! Come back!"

On the way back, the blood on Xiaotai's head was spattered onto Wang Yao's shoulders and chest. Wang Yao wanted to hail a rickshaw, but the driver refused to take them when he saw the scary appearance of these two people.After running for a little while, a coachman was finally willing to pull it. He muttered in his mouth that it was such an unlucky job that he finally opened the shop today.Sitting in the car, Wang Yao used his body to support Xiaotai. The handkerchief covering Xiaotai's head was already soaked in blood, and Wang Yao could only use his sleeves to cover it.

At the entrance of the alley, Xiaoyue was waiting with Xiaofei. Seeing Xiaotai like this, Xiaoyue burst into tears first.

"Don't cry, help me get him in!" Wang Yao said and picked up Xiaotai again, and Xiaoyue was crying and supporting Xiaotai's body, calling his name.

At this time, Xiao Fei was making noise on the sidelines, showing off how she had worked so hard to pull Xiao Yue back from a certain teahouse, offended the customers who were listening to the music, and deliberately exaggerated how she was wise not to let Xiao Yue run away Go to the pier and comfort her by Xiao Yue's side.

Putting Xiaotai at Xiaoyue's house, Wang Yao told Xiaoyue and Xiaofei to take care of Xiaotai. At this time, Wanwan had already followed him, and was standing at Xiaoyue's door asking to go in.

"Don't go in! It's scary!" Wang Yao told Wanwan to go home.

"Why can't I go in? Did brother Xiaotai have an accident? There are many people and helpers!" Wanwan resolutely refused to leave.

"Oh, it's full of blood, you girl, don't look at this!" Wang Yao pushed Wanwan away.

"Don't leave!" Wanwan stood up, "Miss Xiaoyue treats me so well, how can I not help?"

Wang Yao thought the same, so he had no choice but to ask Wanwan to help Xiaoyue.

"You guys take good care of him, I'll go to the doctor," Wang Yao said, "If the police come, you can go to the foreigner in the attic of my house and ask him to take Xiaotai to a safe place." It is very difficult for a weak girl to move a man. At this time, she can only beg the most annoying Russian.

"Brother Wang, you must save Xiaotai!" Xiaoyue cried and handed over the little money he had saved to Wang Yao.

Wang Yao assured her that he would bring the doctor back and left in a hurry.

It is not difficult to find a doctor. There are many Western and Chinese medicine doctors in Shanghai, but if you don't have money, you can't do it.The church has a charity hospital, but in a case like Xiaotai, it is very likely that she will be rejected or sent to the police station.Chinese medicine is relatively cheaper. Wang Yao found an elderly Chinese medicine doctor and invited him to come, but the little money on Wang Yao's body could not impress the doctor at all. out of the mountains.

The doctor came, Xiaotai was still unconscious, but the doctor was not in a hurry to see a doctor, but asked to pay the money immediately, so Wang Yao had to go back to his home to get the money. During this period of time, Wang Yao also saved some money due to working as a mannequin. Although there are not many, there is always an emergency.He picked up the money and was about to go out when Ivan blocked him.

"It seems urgent?" Ivan looked at Wang Yao with a smile.

"It's important to save people! Don't delay!" Wang Yao said anxiously and ran to the opposite side, Ivan didn't ask any more questions, and followed Wang Yao to Xiaoyue's house together.

He dedicated his own money to the doctor, but the doctor still felt that it was too little, and threatened to walk away.No matter how many people begged, the doctor seemed to get more and more tempered as he begged more and more. He was like a crab.

Suddenly, a tall figure blocked the doctor's way. The doctor looked up, and the silver-haired foreigner was staring at him playfully with rare purple eyes.

"You...what do you want to do?" The doctor forced himself to ask calmly.

"Doctor, if you don't get cured, don't even think about going out here!" Ivan smiled innocently.

"You want to intimidate? Don't...don't think I'm afraid of you!" The doctor's voice was trembling, but his mouth was still stiff.

"But if Xiaotai dies, my friend will be very sad!" Ivan leaned down slightly, creating a strong sense of oppression, "If my friend is sad, don't even think about getting out with your life!"

"You guys are blackmailing! You want to see a doctor without paying me!" The doctor yelled loudly, but there was no deterrent effect in front of Ivan.

"You're the one who wants to blackmail you?" Wang Yao finally couldn't help cursing, "Don't think I don't know how much a quack like you is worth for a cure? You clearly want to take advantage of the fire! You have a dark heart!"

As soon as Wang Yao finished speaking, Ivan picked up the doctor, and the doctor was so frightened that his limbs danced wildly: "Put it down! Put it down!"

Ivan smiled and lifted the doctor to the window, and sent half of his body out of the window. The doctor was so frightened that he screamed like a pig.Ivan said slowly: "Doctor, do you want to see a doctor? Or do you want me to 'put you down'?"

"Don't! Don't! Master Yang, spare your life! I'll treat it right away! I'll treat it right away!" The doctor repeatedly begged for mercy.

Xiaotai's trauma was not serious, and healed after applying some medicine, but he couldn't wake up after being hit on the head. The doctor said that if he couldn't wake up before midnight, it would be serious, and he would be fine when he woke up.

"Thank you, doctor!" Ivan smiled and pushed the doctor into a chair. "Then when he wakes up, you can leave. Please rest here now!"

The doctor was so scared that he peed his pants. Fortunately, Xiaotai was fed some water and woke up slowly after an hour. Although he was still weak, he could recognize the people around him and he could talk. It seemed that his brain was not damaged.

Ivan was finally willing to let the doctor go, but the doctor ran away without a trace.

Xiaotai looked at several people present, and asked with difficulty: "Who brought me back?"

"Brother Wang came back after saving you." Xiao Yue gently wiped his face, "Don't talk, take care of your injuries."

"Xiao Yue," Xiaotai couldn't move his head, he could only turn his eyes to look at the girl he loves, "Let's go, today's incident is getting serious, I definitely can't stay in Shanghai."

"How come?" Xiao Yue asked in surprise.

But it was very difficult for Xiaotai to speak, so Xiaoyue had no choice but to stop asking and put Xiaotai to sleep.

Wang Yao signaled to the others, except for Xiao Fei who couldn't see the heat clearly, everyone backed out quietly, and Wang Yao walked last, pulling Xiao Fei out as well.

"Hey? Hey? What's the matter, Brother Wang?" Xiaofei asked loudly in a daze.

"It's nothing to do with us, Xiaofei, go back and find your American guests, thank you today." Wang Yao grabbed Xiaofei's shoulders with both hands and turned her away, pushing her out of the alley .
