Volume 1 Wuchang Vortex Chapter 21: Wrongly Torn
"Open the door! Open the door!"
"Fuck you! I suspect there are rebels here and I need to search!"
The new commander was assassinated in the street by rebels before he took office, which was like the ignition of a firestorm in Wuchang. Teams of soldiers were shouted at and rushed out of their beds, rushing madly into the streets and alleys, searching house by house for rebels. Many who dared to resist were arrested on the spot, and the whole city was shrouded in chaos.
"this home……"
"Don't move. Didn't you see this?"
A soldier who was dragged out of bed with a lot of resentment was about to knock on the door to search, but his buddy next to him stopped him and pointed at the red paper on the door. The soldier was also shocked after taking a look, because there were four big characters "Duzhibu Liu" written on the red paper, which meant that this family was a man of honor, so he did not dare to offend and went to the next one.
Behind the gate, Liu Gong and his brother Liu Tong clenched their pistols tightly. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the soldiers finally leave. They turned around and asked, "Liu Tong, you didn't cause any trouble, did you?" Liu Tong shook his head quickly, "Brother, don't you believe me? I am a bit of a jerk, but I don't dare to provoke those soldiers!"
Come to think of it, although Liu Tong is quite courageous, he will never provoke the army. But what was the gunshot just now? Could it be that a comrade was arrested tonight? So when Liu Gong saw that there was no one outside, he hurriedly said, "Go, go to Xiaochao Street and ask what happened."
"Brother, there are soldiers all over the streets outside, I..." How could Liu Tong dare to go? He treated revolution as a game and would never do anything that would cost him his life.
Mr. Liu had no other choice but to go upstairs and pick up a German telescope he bought from Shanghai in the hope of seeing what was happening. As the lens shook, a black shadow suddenly jumped into his sight. Just as he wanted to see it clearly, the shadow had quickly disappeared into the alley.
Yang Qiu didn't know that he was seen . After matching the house number on the note, he knocked on the door gently.
In the second-floor building, Shen Shukai sat under the electric light with an anxious look on his face. After a moment, he saw the old shopkeeper and the doctor coming out of the room together, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"He's awake, but... Manager Shen, I think it would be better if you send him to the Concession Hospital as soon as possible."
"What? Is there no hope?" The doctor's words made Shen Shukai sweat profusely. When he thought of the look Yang Qiu gave when he left just now, he felt that he had done something wrong tonight. He should not have gone to see Yang Qiu at that time. Not only did he bring back a burden in vain, but if the girl really died here, he was afraid that the entire Heshengyuan would be in big trouble because of this matter.
"That's not the case." The doctor saw that a famous person like Shen Shukai was so anxious, and thought he was an important person. He didn't dare to delay and said quickly: "Gunshot wounds are different from ordinary sword wounds. Western medicine is better for treatment. Besides, I don't have any medicine that specifically treats gunshot wounds and fire poison."
"That's no problem. Just tell me what medicine you need and I'll send someone to get it right away."
"All right."
Seeing how anxious he was, the doctor had to prescribe some medicine. Shen Shukai did not dare to delay and quickly handed the list of necessary medicines to the old manager of the Chengdu branch who came with him.
The old shopkeeper looked a little unhappy after reading it, and said, "Shopkeeper Shen, it's no problem to buy these medicines at ordinary times, but now the docks and rivers outside are all closed. If we hadn't come back quickly, we would have been discovered long ago. Going out to buy these medicines now will definitely attract other people's attention."
"Oh, it's all my fault for being confused for a moment!" Shen Shukai didn't expect things to become so tricky. When he was getting anxious, there was a knock on the door suddenly. A moment later, he saw the waiter and Yang Qiu walking in.
"Master Yang... you are here!"
Hearing Shen Shukai's anxious words, Yang Qiu thought something had happened to Miao Luo, so he grabbed his collar and asked, "What happened to Miss Miao?"
The old shopkeeper knew how capable Yang Qiu was, so he quickly pulled him aside and pointed to the room: "Don't worry, sir. The girl is in there and has woken up. However, the doctor said that there is a shortage of medicine, so she needs to be sent to the concession as soon as possible."
"No, I brought medicine."
After Yang Qiu finished speaking, he immediately pushed the door open and walked in. The other three people heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that there was medicine. The doctor even asked curiously, "Manager Shen, who is this..."
"Oh, it's trouble!" Shen Shukai slapped his thigh, unable to explain it clearly.
…
Miao Luo lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, his heart in turmoil.
In order to save his life, people who were considered to be his comrade actually shot him. He, who was supposed to be the assassin, ended up lying in bed unable to move. In the end, it was the shameless and despicable villain Yang Qiu who insulted his innocence who saved him.
“Why is this happening?!”
Just when she was feeling the most confused, the door was suddenly pushed open again. Just as she turned her beautiful eyes to see who it was, two bursts of anger suddenly rushed out.
"Yang Qiu, you evil thief!" Miao Luo struggled and tried to take out his gun. Yang Qiu said quickly, "The gun is under the pillow. But I tell you, there are policemen and soldiers outside now. As soon as the guns are fired, this place will be surrounded immediately. The people outside who have finally rescued you will all be shot to death."
"If you think this is how you should repay the person who saved you, just shoot me."
After hearing these words, Miao Luo finally stopped what he was doing, bit his lip and turned to look at Yang Qiu. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
Yang Qiu had never served a woman in his previous life, let alone a crying woman. He was suddenly flustered and didn't know what to do. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and prepared to go out and find the old shopkeeper to coax the woman.
"where you go?!"
Fortunately, Yang Qiu didn't make a fool of himself by calling out in a low voice in time. Seeing Miao Luo's hair loose, her long black hair flowing down like a waterfall, her pretty face full of tears and looking very pitiful, he subconsciously said, "If you cry, I'll go find... find the old shopkeeper to comfort you."
"..." Miao Luo wished he could immediately draw his gun and kill this idiot who couldn't even coax a woman. His big eyes looked sadly at this mortal enemy, and he was speechless.
The strange silence made Yang Qiu a little unbearable, especially the pair of glaring eyes, as if he had done something terribly wrong to her. He begged for mercy: "Miss Miao, I don't think we have any grudges against each other, right?"
"No grudge?" Miss Miao gritted her teeth, the murderous look in her eyes rising again, she said angrily: "You kidnapped Mr. Song, my brother and I promised dad that we would protect him for the rest of our lives."
“But I let him go later.”
"You arrested Du Laoliu."
"He's just a bandit who's blocking the road and robbing people."
"Then you also killed the hero Wang Tianjie, causing the list to be leaked and so many people to die."
"He ambushed me in the dark and wanted to kill me. I didn't know who he was when I shot him. Should I let him kill me?" Yang Qiu said angrily, "Besides, why did you keep such an important list with you? If you had no intention, why didn't you destroy it?"
Miao Luo was not a brainless person. While confronting Yang Qiu, he was thinking carefully about what happened before. It seemed that what he said made sense. Whether it was Du Laoliu or Wang Tianjie, he was always passive. Even when he killed him just now, he was passively beaten.
"Then why did you accept the reward from the Qing Dynasty and become that Baturu?"
"My dear." Yang Qiu slapped her forehead, finally understanding why it is said that women who have lost their minds are the most terrifying. She sighed bitterly, "I can't ask for Baturu by myself, and I can't refuse the reward. Besides, I am a soldier and I am under their control. Do you want me to disobey and seek death?"
Miao Luo was speechless, but he didn't want to be convinced, so he blurted out angrily: "Then why are you bullying me!"
"bully you?!"
Heaven and earth, the evil thief Yang was almost crazy. He had no experience in dealing with women in his life and he really couldn't think of such a reason. Although the moves he used in Chengdu were a bit shameless, he didn't know you were a woman at that time? Besides, the instructor said when he joined the army, who cares about gender in a life-and-death fight!
Seeing that Yang Qiu was finally stumped by her question, the girl actually felt a little proud in her heart, especially when she saw that his cheeks turned red and he burst out laughing, but immediately frowned after laughing.
Yang Qiu secretly felt it was a pity to see her beauty suddenly revealed. Then he remembered that he was here to heal her, so he quickly untied his bag and took out the medical tools, and then he tore a piece of bed sheet to wrap a small piece of wood he picked up on the road with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Miao Luo could understand the medicine and pliers, but why wrap the wooden stick for no reason?
Before she could figure it out, Yang Qiu stuffed the stick, which had been wrapped several layers and became thicker, into her mouth: "Bite it hard when it hurts, but don't make any sound, or it will alert the outside world."
It turned out that she was biting it because she was afraid that she couldn't bear the pain. Miao Luo glared at Yang Qiu angrily. Am I really like a puppy?
What's wrong with that?
Seeing Miao Luo biting the stick with his cheeks puffed out, with a pair of eyes that wished they could pierce through him, Yang Qiu suddenly felt frightened. If this vicious woman's man had... that hobby in the future, would he be bitten off? !
Fortunately, his experience in his previous life taught him that he should never confront women or try to explain to them, so he ignored the murderous look and started checking the wound.
Some hemostatic powder had been sprinkled on the wound, but this was not an effective way to do it. Having learned battlefield first aid, he knew that if the bullet could not be removed as soon as possible, it would be very troublesome to wait until the wound healed, because the bullet would shift in the muscle and if it pierced the aorta, it might cause paralysis.
Looking at Yang Qiu's serious expression under the lamp, Miao Luo felt a little sweet in his heart, thick eyebrows, curved mouth corners, and those focused eyes... Damn, what was I thinking? She is my enemy!
The warmth that flashed across her cheeks immediately interrupted the girl's thoughts. Seeing that Yang Qiu was still carefully checking her wound and didn't pay attention, she breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her vicious expression.
"The bullet shouldn't be deep." When Yang Qiu's fingertips slid across her thigh, the girl felt numb and palpitations. She heard him say, "It needs to be taken out immediately. It may be painful. You..."
"Hmph!" Miao Luo was unable to speak as he was biting the stick in his mouth. He could only snort coldly and act fearlessly as if saying "You are the one who is afraid of pain".
"As long as you are not afraid of pain." Yang Qiu secretly laughed at the angry look of the little girl. When he tore open the trouser leg, he did not notice that there was a layer of underwear that reached the knees underneath, so he pulled it with a little force.
“Hiss…”
The trouser leg was torn directly from the middle to the lower abdomen, and even the underwear inside was torn open, revealing not only the white thigh roots, but also a few naughty grasses sticking out from the side.
"Ah! Shameless, bastard, pervert, I'm going to kill you!"
