It was two days later that I received news from Lian Xu again.

The call came to Yuan Qianqian's mobile phone, and Lian Xu angrily reported an address on the other end, and added at the end: "Don't let the third brother come."

But how could Yu Sheng not go, and when he received the news, he couldn't wait to ask Yuan Qianqian to arrange the hospital and call an ambulance, and they also rushed over.

Considering that Lian Xu might be seriously injured, Yuan Qianqian was already mentally prepared, and his car was equipped with a complete range of first aid equipment and medicines.

However, when they finally arrived at this small village in the southwest corner of Pingcheng, and came to the room of the village guest house that Lian Xu had told her about, Yuan Qianqian was still stunned by the sight before him.

Lian Xu was lying on the narrow single bed covered in blood, and the sheets and quilts that were not white were soaked in blood, showing a suffocating dark red.

Lian Xu had already passed out, his face was as pale as paper.But his long hair disappeared, leaving only the bald top of his head with scars and blood stains from being hit by a stick.

But that's not the most startling thing.

Everyone who entered this room except Yu Sheng noticed it at first sight—on the right side of Lian Xu's body, where his right arm should have been, it was surprisingly empty...At this time, only gauze was used to roughen the shoulder. The ground was tied several times, but the gauze had been dyed blood red, and the original color could not be seen at all.

"Xiao Xu..." Mazi, a 1.8-meter-five black-faced tough guy who came back from Vietnam earlier, choked up when he saw Lian Xu like this.

"Quick! Help him stop the bleeding first! Be careful!" It was Yuan Qianqian who came back to his senses first, and hurriedly brought someone forward to help Lian Xu treat the wound, while Yu Sheng stood aside. I already had a bad premonition when I was in the corridor, and now I am more convinced that Lian Xu must be seriously injured when he enters the room, but he can't go up to help, so he can only stand at the foot of the wall, trying to listen to all the sounds around him, trying to judge Lian Xu. Tell me what happened.

Five minutes later, the ambulance finally arrived.

With the help of the medical staff, Lian Xu was carried on a stretcher and sent into the ambulance, and Yu Sheng and Yuan Qianqian also sat in it.

Only then did Yu Sheng ask in a low voice, "How is he? Where did he get hurt?"

The accompanying nurse was about to speak, but saw Yuan Qianqian wink quickly, then closed his mouth again, only to hear Yuan Qianqian say: "He has multiple injuries on his body, and the blood loss is serious, but his vital signs are still stable now. When I arrive at the hospital, I will need a blood transfusion immediately. Fortunately, Xiao Xu is not of a special blood type, so he should be fine. Right, doctor?"

Hearing that she didn't mention Lian Xu's loss of his right arm at all, the nurse hesitated for a while, and then hummed cooperatively: "Fortunately, the serious wound has been treated to stop bleeding beforehand, otherwise it will be dangerous after such a long time. Don't worry, we will do our best to save people."

Yu Sheng nodded, and said in a hoarse voice, "Please, thank you..."

"It should be." The nurse couldn't help turning her head and sighing softly after she finished speaking.

Yu Sheng stretched out his hand at this time, wanting to find Lian Xu's hand, Yuan Qianqian was glad that he reacted quickly when he got into the car just now, and arranged Yu Sheng on the left side of Lian Xu,

Seeing him reaching out, she helped him put his hand on the back of Lian Xu's.

Feeling the beating of the pulse, although it was weak, Yu Sheng still breathed a sigh of relief.

To be alive...to be alive.

Alive, there is still hope.

Looking at Yu Sheng's slightly relieved expression, Yuan Qianqian felt that his chest was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.

The moment she found Lian Xu, she understood why Lian Xu said "Don't let the third brother come".He must be afraid that Yu Sheng will feel guilty and painful when he finds out.

But if you can hide this matter for a while, how can you hide it for a lifetime?will always be exposed.

The ambulance was unimpeded all the way, and quickly rushed to the hospital, and Lian Xu was immediately sent to the emergency room.

Yu Sheng and Yuan Qianqian asked the rest of Sin to go back first, and only the two of them stood guard here. After waiting for more than two hours, they finally waited for Lian Xu to be pushed out.

"The situation has been brought under control, and it is not life-threatening, but it may be more important to help him with mental construction than to recuperate." The doctor took off his mask and said.

"Psychological construction?" Yu Sheng frowned and asked puzzledly.

"to him--"

"Third brother! I didn't tell you back then..." Yuan Qianqian interrupted the doctor, and cut off the conversation: "Xiao Xu...Xiao Xu's hair...was shaved..."

Yu Sheng was slightly taken aback, "Hair?" Although he thought it was a pity, it wasn't enough to require psychological training, right?Besides, the doctor didn't know what Lian Xu's hair looked like before.

"Qianqian, do you have something to hide from me?" The uneasiness that had been suppressed by Yu Sheng before clamored and surged up again.

"No...Third Brother, send Xiaoxu back to the ward to rest first." Yuan Qianqian said evasively.

Yu Sheng agreed, but after Lian Xu was sent to the ward and resettled, Yu Sheng asked Yuan Qianqian again seriously: "You tell me the truth, why do you need to do psychological training? Could it be... hurt your face?"

"No...the face is fine..." Yuan Qianqian felt that this lie was really difficult to maintain.

Yu Sheng really asked: "Then what's the matter? Don't hide it anymore, do you want me to check every inch?"

"Third brother..." Yuan Qianqian's eye circles were red, and he held Yu Sheng for a while before speaking again, his voice trembling slightly: "Xiao Xu... his right arm...was cut off by someone... ..."

"What?" Yu Sheng didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked again in a little ignorance: "What did you just say?"

Yuan Qianqian's lips trembled, and he gritted his teeth suddenly, his voice was much clearer than last time: "I mean, Xiaoxu's right arm was completely cut off from the shoulder..."

This time, Yu Sheng really heard it.

It was as if the bones of the whole body were suddenly pulled out of the body, and the person fell to the ground without feeling for the rest of his life.

"Third Brother!"

Yuan Qianqian's voice echoed in his ears, and Yu Sheng could realize that she was calling him, and he could also feel that she was pulling him, but he couldn't stand up, there was no strength in his body, and his body seemed to no longer belong to him. There is no way to dominate.

"Third brother, don't be too sad...Fortunately, Xiao Xu's life is not in danger, it is already a blessing in misfortune..." Yuan Qianqian persuaded, and at the same time called the hospital staff to help Yu Sheng up. Then put it on the sofa in Lianxu's ward.

Seeing that Yu Sheng's face was almost as pale as Lian Xu's, Yuan Qianqian felt anxious, and couldn't help holding his hand to comfort him: "Third brother, think about it, this has already happened, no matter how painful it is, we have to face it ...If we don't even cheer up, how can we help Xiao Xu when he wakes up..."

While Yuan Qianqian was talking, he was sobbing so hard that he couldn't even make a sound.

So the ward suddenly fell silent, as if the air had froze.

1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes... I don't know how long it has passed, and the concept of time has become blurred.

Until Yuan Qianqian felt that his hand was gently pinched twice.

"...Third Brother?" Yuan Qianqian looked up at Yu Sheng, and found that he was trying to pull up the corner of his mouth to give her a smile, but it was a pity that it seriously violated the whole facial expression and looked very ugly.

"汧汧..." Yu Sheng's voice was completely hoarse, and the texture of the friction of the gravel was very obvious, as if the soles of his shoes were rubbing hard on the sand. "Don't cry, it's okay." In turn, he was comforting her, "You are right, we can't let Xiao Xu see us like this, otherwise he will be even more sad. As long as a person is alive, any difficulty, always think about it. way to overcome."

"Well... I understand, but third brother, you—"

"Don't worry about me." Yu Sheng smiled again, this time looking more natural, but still extremely bitter, "If you want to help Xiao Xu survive, it's better if I get knocked down first."

"That……"

"Okay, let's not talk about it beforehand." Yu Sheng patted her hand, let go, and changed the subject: "Xiao Xu won't be able to wake up for a while, you can find another brother to watch with me, you Go and investigate the current situation of prosthetics on the market, find the best one, and if you need to make an appointment, make an appointment first, regardless of the cost."

"Okay, leave this matter to me." Yuan Qianqian stood up, "Third Brother, shall I go back first?"

Yu Sheng nodded and stood up, "Help me to his bedside, and tell me where the call bell is."

"En." Yuan Qianqian held Yu Sheng's arm, carefully led him to sit on the chair in front of the hospital bed, and took his hand to find the position of the calling bell.

"I'm on his left?" Yu Sheng confirmed.

"Yes..." Yuan Qianqian didn't mean it this time, it's just that the calling bell happened to be on this side.

"I see, you go." After Yu Sheng finished speaking, he groped and held Lian Xu's left hand tightly, obviously unable to see anything, but his expression was extremely focused.

Yuan Qianqian gently wiped the corners of his eyes, did not stay any longer, and left quickly.

***

"I said Nie Qing, if you continue to do this, you will get me into trouble sooner or later." Handing Nie Qing a USB flash drive, Yuan Liang, who had been fighting for a day and night, collapsed on a chair and was powerless. explain.

"Thank you, Brother Liang." Nie Qing took the USB flash drive and held it firmly. With deep eyes, he took a complete look at the three-acre area of ​​Yuan Liang's room, and said carefully, "You are still safe here for the time being." , but I can't guarantee what will happen next. Otherwise, can you move to my old house for a while? In the city bureau compound, the security measures are top-notch. The police, no one dares to do anything there, no matter how courageous they are.”

"Am I crazy?!" Yuan Liang jumped up from his chair, "Am I crazy or are you crazy? I am a super invincible epic hacker, I ran to live in the police compound, you Do you want me to train them how to hack their weak chicken system?"

"What I am worried about now is not whether you will be arrested, but your personal safety." Nie Qing was still leaning on crutches, and at this time tapped the ground with the tip, frowning and said: "Think about Chi Xiaofei, Look at me again, those people have no bottom line."

"Oh, you are worried about my safety now? Then why do you still ask me to help you with this terrible job?" Yuan Liang "cut", clicked his lips, and tapped Nie Qing's shoulder twice, " Young man, don’t be so contemplative when doing things. Brother Liang is a vegetarian? After all, I was also a professional student back then—although I went on a crooked path, I have never capsized in the gutter for so many years. If I even myself If you can't cover up the traces, it's better to wash your hands and find a school to teach programming!"

"Can you not set a flag for yourself..." Nie Qing looked helpless, "The other party is not as simple as you think. Moreover, if my guess is correct, the truth of this matter will only be more terrifying—"

"Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and verify your conjecture!" Yuan Liang patted him violently, "This is the closest thing I've ever done to going to jail. If you don't let me get what I paid for, how can you have the face to see me again?" ?”

"...You really have no taboos." Although Nie Qing was worried, but seeing that he was so determined, it was hard to persuade him.

"Okay, okay, hurry up, I want to catch up on sleep, but I'm so sleepy!" Yuan Liang yawned loudly, and carried Nie Qing to the door, "Be careful when you go out, don't fall, Get in touch again."

"Okay." Nie Qing sighed, "In short, you must be extra careful, you can't be too cautious, and if you find anything wrong, call me immediately, do you hear me?"

"Huh..." Yuan Liang leaned against the door frame with his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

Nie Qing had nothing to do with him, so he had to say one last thing: "If it's something urgent and I can't make it back, you can go to Luo Qi."

"zzzzzz..." Yuan Liang pronounced the "z" in a string.

"...I'm leaving, see you later." Nie Qing had just stepped out of the door, when she turned her head and found that she was cut off from the door.

No more accidents can happen to anyone.He said to himself silently.

That afternoon, Wu Changfu, the acting captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the City Bureau, received a leave request from Nie Qing, the leader of the third criminal investigation team, asking for a week off to recuperate at home.Wu Changfu approved him with relief, and arranged for him to recover from his injuries, and don't worry about other things.

And that night, Nie Qing left Pingcheng by plane.

Destination, city a.
