What a beautiful white lotus

Ye Rongqiu stabilized his mind: "I'm fine."

Xiao Zhao looked at him worriedly.He doesn't know medicine, but he knows that Ye Rongqiu's body will never be fine after so much blood was injected. Ye Rongqiu's body is so thin, how much blood has been filled in total!Along the way, although Ye Rongqiu pretended to be nonchalant, he could see that Ye Rongqiu's footsteps were very flimsy and his expression was very tired. He was probably just holding on.

Xiao Zhao whispered: "Commissioner, why don't we go back first, I won't kill devils, you should take care of yourself first."

Ye Rongqiu said: "I'm fine, let's go in and have a look, maybe we can find something inside."

Xiao Zhao had no choice but to follow Ye Rongqiu into the market.

This is the largest bazaar in Wuchang City. On the surface, it looks like it sells common sundries, but secretly they conduct other transactions. They have a secret code, and people who know the business may be able to buy things here that cannot be bought in the market. s things.

Ye Rongqiu still silently followed behind Zhou Shujuan, and Zhou Shujuan was also very vigilant, constantly looking around.Ye Rongqiu and Xiao Zhao bowed their heads and pretended to be customers in the market, but Zhou Shujuan didn't notice them.

Zhou Shujuan walked to a stall, her body blocked her movements, Ye Rongqiu and Xiao Zhao couldn't see clearly, they only vaguely saw that she seemed to give something to a stall owner, and the stall owner gave her something.

After Zhou Shujuan put away her things, she left the stall, turned around and walked out.

Ye Rongqiu and Xiao Zhao hurriedly lowered their heads even lower. Fortunately, Zhou Shujuan didn't notice them and walked out of the market quickly.

Xiao Zhao looked bewildered: "Sister Ru is gone?"

Ye Rongqiu frowned and thought for a moment, then whispered to Xiao Zhao: "You wait for me here, and I will do something."

Xiao Zhao was taken aback, feeling a little uneasy: "Are you going alone?"

Ye Rongqiu said: "I'll go to the stall in front and ask, and I'll be right back."

Xiao Zhao is away from home, one is that he is worried about Ye Rongqiu acting alone, and the other is that he does not want to be alone.But Ye Rongqiu couldn't tell his gaze, so he had no choice but to listen to Ye Rongqiu.

Ye Rongqiu pretended to choose goods, and slowly approached the booth that Zhou Shujuan had touched just now.The stall owner was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, whom Ye Rongqiu had never seen before.He walked to the stall, which sold some porcelain, he picked out two at random, and asked casually, "Do you have any in Huangshi?"

The stall owner was taken aback, frowning and looking at him.

Yellowstone is a jargon in the black market, because the color of sulfonamide is yellow, and the word sulfonamide is added with a yellow next to the word "stone", so it is used to refer to sulfonamide.

Ye Rongqiu was not sure whether this person was just an ordinary merchant or an underground party member, and his experience was not enough to judge, so he could only approach the stall owner pretending to be a customer who wanted to buy something. He had already asked two stall owners Lord, but all got a negative answer.

The stall owner looked at Ye Rongqiu vigilantly, then raised his hand as a gesture.

Ye Rongqiu said, "Five?"

The stall owner nodded.

Ye Rongqiu asked: "Are there a lot of goods?"

The stall owner was neither salty nor weak: "The market price is enough for you to use for three days."

The three-day dosage is only a few grams of sulfonamide, and it costs 500 yuan, which is really overwhelmed.But it may be thankful that there are still such drugs on the black market.

The stall owner's response made Ye Rongqiu even more confused.Zhou Shujuan was probably buying sulfa just now.Judging by the performance of the stall owner, he seemed to be just an ordinary merchant in the black market. Zhou Shujuan came to buy and sell from him, and Ye Rongqiu, who had never met him before, came to inquire about him and asked for the same price.If it was an underground party member who made an appointment with Zhou Shujuan to deliver medicine earlier, he should not talk to other guests after the deal with Zhou Shujuan is completed.If Zhou Shujuan really bought medicine from the black market, where did she get so much money?During the few days when he lived in Wuchang, they couldn't even eat a full meal. It was impossible for Zhou Shujuan to secretly save such a large amount of private money rather than have food.

Ye Rongqiu fell into deep thought, and the stall owner said: "Do you want it, hurry up. I don't have much goods in my hand, and there are no other stores besides mine."

Ye Rongqiu smiled awkwardly at the stall owner: "Forget it, I don't have enough money." Then he left.The stall owner was not in a hurry to ship the goods, and had no intention of retaining them.

Ye Rongqiu walked back to Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao asked him softly: "Commissioner, what did you say to that man just now?"

Ye Rongqiu shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go and find Shu... Ru Nan."

Seeing that Ye Rongqiu refused to tell him, Xiao Zhao pursed his lips depressedly, and followed Ye Rongqiu out.

Ye Rongqiu was in a mess.He really didn't expect things to develop like this. When Zhou Shujuan said the word sulfonamide yesterday, he immediately ruled out the black market because he didn't think they had enough money to buy sulfa.He thought that in order to save Qiu Jinjin, Zhou Shujuan would definitely use her "reading" skills.He thought a lot last night. He still hopes that the black dog is the Communist Party. At least in this case, they are still in the same camp.Even if the identity of the black dog is not the leader of Nianbai, but just a helper of Nianbai's subordinates, as long as the black dog is the Communist Party, that is the best situation.It's a pity that he sneaked out with Xiao Zhao, and his wishful thinking of wanting to see the true face of the black dog was miscalculated.Probably he underestimated Zhou Shujuan.No matter what method is used, no matter where the money comes from, at least Zhou Shujuan has obtained sulfonamide, she is capable enough.

Ye Rongqiu took Xiao Zhao out of the market in frustration.He didn't give up completely, and wanted to continue to follow Zhou Shujuan, but it was a pity that they had delayed for a while, and Zhou Shujuan had already disappeared.It's not impossible to speed up and chase, but it's not just because of depression, Ye Rongqiu's dizziness, vertigo and tinnitus became more serious, and his legs became weak when he walked a little faster.He wasn't a strong man at all, but a frail scholar. After all, he had spilled so much blood that his body was almost reaching its limit.Even if he didn't give up, there was really nothing he could do.

Ye Rongqiu had no choice but to say: "Let's go back, I'm a little tired."

Xiao Zhao nodded again and again: "Go back, you go back and have a good rest." Ye Rongqiu's face made him tremble with fear.

The two returned to the main road and turned into a small road after walking for a long time.Ye Rongqiu memorized the way he came here, and brought Xiao Zhao back the same way.Zhou Shujuan chose relatively remote paths, which happened to be able to escape the patrolling Japanese troops.

After walking for a while, Ye Rongqiu suddenly stopped.

Xiao Zhao followed and stopped without knowing why: "Political Commissar, what's wrong?"

Ye Rongqiu clutched his chest, his face was pale: "Take a break, I'm flustered." He overestimated his physical condition a bit. In fact, Zhou Shujuan told him to stay in bed for at least three days. Given the extent of his blood loss, he would be fine if conditions permit. At least they should rest and recuperate for a few months, but unfortunately the conditions simply do not allow them to leave Wuchang as soon as they find an opportunity.But Ye Rongqiu really couldn't lie on the bed with peace of mind. Not only did he not rest, but he also walked so many roads under the sun. The dog's whereabouts made Ye Rongqiu very disappointed, and the willpower to support him also dropped a lot. At this moment, all the discomfort in his body surged up, and he could hardly walk.

Ye Rongqiu was flustered, and Xiao Zhao was also flustered.He didn't expect it to be so serious.Zhou Shujuan told him to be optimistic about Ye Rongqiu, and also told him how bad Ye Rongqiu's physical condition is now, but Xiao Zhao has always believed in Ye Rongqiu unconditionally, and Ye Rongqiu said he could, so he thought Ye Rongqiu really could.Although Ye Rongqiu is thin and weak, in Xiao Zhao's heart, he is an omnipotent man.

Xiao Zhao supported Ye Rongqiu and sat down against the wall. Ye Rongqiu's body was icy cold, not the temperature a human should have.His mind was in a mess, for some reason, he was a little worried that Ye Rongqiu would die like this.He tremblingly said: "Commissar, are you okay? How about I carry you back."

Ye Rongqiu shook his head: "It's too eye-catching for you to walk behind my back, I'll just rest for a while."

Xiao Zhao had no choice but to take a rest with Ye Rongqiu.

Ye Rongqiu's head was dizzy, he put his head on Xiao Zhao's shoulder, his eyes half-opened and half-closed.

Xiao Zhao was afraid that Ye Rongqiu would not be able to wake up after falling asleep, so he kept talking to Ye Rongqiu, but Ye Rongqiu didn't respond to him, he became more and more anxious, and started talking nonsense.

"Political Commissar, Brother Ye, I'll carry you away, I'll carry you out of the city, we don't want to take you with me in Wuchang City, let's go back to the factory and find the head of the group, the head of the group must have a way to save you."

"Out... out of the city?" Ye Rongqiu asked feebly.

"I, I'll take you out! Kill all the little devils!"

"..."

Xiao Zhao was still chattering, Ye Rongqiu really wanted to sleep for a while, but the voice in his ear made his head buzz.He shook his head slightly, but Xiao Zhao didn't feel it.

"Don't talk, just be quiet for a while, I'll be fine soon." Ye Rongqiu murmured softly.

However, Xiao Zhao suddenly grabbed his arm forcefully: "I didn't say anything."

Ye Rongqiu was half unconscious and half awake: "Who is arguing then?"

In fact, Xiao Zhao has indeed been quiet for more than ten seconds - because he heard other movements in the depths of the alley.

"Political commissar..." Xiao Zhao whispered in Ye Rongqiu's ear, "There are people in the alley."

Ye Rongqiu's reaction became very slow: "Is there... someone?"

Xiao Zhao pricked up his ears and listened for a while: "There seems to be the sound of fighting."

Xiao Zhao supported Ye Rongqiu to stand up: "Commissioner, you can't rest anymore, there seem to be several people in front, they are approaching us, let's go out first."

Ye Rongqiu's five senses have become dull now, so he didn't hear the sound, but Xiao Zhao's ears are very good, he heard a burst of messy footsteps.This is not on the street, and it is probably not ordinary people who will have conflicts in such narrow alleys.There are only three hostile forces, their comrades, the national army, and the Japanese devils. I don’t know if there are any companions in front of them, but there must be their enemies. With Ye Rongqiu’s current physical condition, once exposed to the enemy, it may be More bad luck than good luck.No matter how impulsive Xiao Zhao's character is, he still understands this point. Now Ye Rongqiu's safety must be put first, and nothing else is important.

He shook Ye Rongqiu's body, trying to wake him up, but Ye Rongqiu was still confused.Xiao Zhao was so anxious that he had no other choice, he grabbed Ye Rongqiu's arm and bit it down!

"Hiss..." Ye Rongqiu felt the pain, and finally regained his sanity.

Xiao Zhao hurriedly led Ye Rongqiu into another alley.At this time, the other party's footsteps were getting closer, and even Ye Rongqiu heard them.

Xiao Zhao wanted to run, but Ye Rongqiu pulled him to stop.Xiao Zhao thought it was because he was unwell, and planned to carry him without a word, but Ye Rongqiu gestured to him to stop, and said softly: "Don't run, they can hear our footsteps."

Xiao Zhao was taken aback.

Ye Rongqiu was right, they could hear each other's footsteps, and the other party should be able to hear them too.If you want to escape right now, if Ye Rongqiu is healthy, you can still try, but Ye Rongqiu is so weak, dragging him by yourself will definitely not run fast, if the other party is alerted, it will be a disaster if you catch up.The best way is to find a place to hide first to avoid this catastrophe.

Xiao Zhao looked around and saw several sacks of sand piled up on the right, he quickly helped Ye Rongqiu to squat down behind the sandbags.

When they quieted down, the movement of the other party became more obvious, and the conversation could already be heard.

"You shameless traitor, I curse you, you will die!" They heard a man scold angrily.

"Ah!" Then, there was a scream from the man, he should have been beaten.

Although Ye Rongqiu and the others couldn't see what the situation was like, judging from the sound, they were afraid that the person who scolded the traitor just now was at a disadvantage and had already been caught by the other party.And the gang of traitors is relatively large.

Xiao Zhao whispered in Ye Rongqiu's ear: "There are five or six people listening to the footsteps."

Ye Rongqiu nodded.At this time, he was fully awake, and in order to make himself more energetic, he was pinching his palm with his nails.

"Since I can't live well, it's okay if I don't die well." Then they heard another man's voice with a little teasing.

Ye Rongqiu and Xiao Zhao were taken aback at the same time.Although he didn't see his face, Ye Rongqiu couldn't hear this voice wrong even in his sleep!That's the voice of a black dog!

And Xiao Zhao also heard the voice of the black dog and the old Guotou talking in the alley that day, and he could still recognize this voice after a short time.He couldn't be sure, he cast a proving look at Ye Rongqiu, Ye Rongqiu's shocked expression confirmed his conjecture.

"You! You will definitely have retribution!" The voice of the person who spoke first was already very flustered.

"Then let the retribution come sooner, I can't wait." The black dog said again.Compared to the panic of the other person, he was extremely relaxed and calm.

From the other end came a few more muffled sounds, which sounded like fists hitting limbs.

"Take it easy, don't beat him to death, your captain probably wants to capture him alive." It was the voice of the black dog.It seems that the person who did it just now was not a black dog.

"Mr. Yamadera, thanks to you, we can catch this man. Stop talking nonsense with him, we will take him away now." The person who spoke this time spoke in awkward Chinese, and it seemed that he was probably Japanese. .The captain in what Heigou said just now probably refers to the squadron leader of the Japanese army.

"Bastard! Beast..." It was still the Chinese who was beaten, his articulation was no longer clear, maybe his teeth were knocked out, but he still didn't give up and fought back with his words.

Xiao Zhao's eyes widened, and he touched the gun hidden in his waist.If we were still uncertain just now, after listening to the Japanese devils now, they really met Yamadera Yuki!Listening to the footsteps just now, there shouldn't be too many people, no more than five or six.As for the one who was beaten, whether it was the Communist Party or the Kuomintang, in Xiao Zhao's heart, he was his compatriot!He couldn't help rushing out, seized this opportunity, caught those Japanese puppet devils by surprise, maybe he could successfully kill those scumbags and rescue his compatriots!

Ye Rongqiu saw through Xiao Zhao's intentions and grabbed his arm tightly.

Xiao Zhao's eyes were already red.If it wasn't for Shansi Xing, if it wasn't for these hateful devils and traitors, how would Hoe and Xiaosan die, how could Qiu Jinjin be seriously injured, how could Ye Rongqiu be so weak!It's all these scumbags!Even if Ye Rongqiu stopped him at this moment, he could not appease his anger, he struggled to stand up.

"Crack!" The sandbags piled up in front of them were not very firm. Xiao Zhao and Ye Rongqiu accidentally bumped into the top sandbag while wrestling, causing it to slide down and hit the ground with a muffled sound!

Both Ye Rongqiu and Xiao Zhao were stunned.For a moment, their hearts rose to their throats.At this moment, they could only pray that the devils didn't hear the commotion here. In an emergency, he rushed to hug Xiao Zhao, pressed him to the ground, and continued to use sandbags as a cover.

"Who's there!" It was the Japanese devil who yelled.

The sound of footsteps approached them immediately, Xiao Zhao had already lost the upper hand at this moment, and it was impossible to carry out a sneak attack.He could only turn over with Ye Rongqiu in his arms, protect Ye Rongqiu under himself, pull out his hands, and squat behind the sandbag, planning to use the sandbag as a cover to fight the devils.At this point, he has no choice!

"Look at these two spies!" the black dog barked, "I'll go and see!"

The messy footsteps stopped, and there was only one footstep running towards here.

Xiao Zhao swallowed nervously, and grabbed the gun in his hand.The person who came was Yamadera Yuki, and even if he died here today, he would have to kill this shameless traitor!

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye they reached the entrance of the alley where they were hiding.Xiao Zhao looked out through the cracks in the sandbags, ready to shoot Shansi Xing as soon as he appeared!However, I didn't expect that Yamadera Yuki was so cunning that he didn't expose himself. He just hid behind the wall and quickly peeked in. Xiao Zhao didn't have time to catch his movements, so he retracted his head.

Then, Ye Rongqiu and Xiao Zhao heard some strange rubbing and flipping sounds, but they didn't know where they came from.

After a few more seconds, he walked steadily into the distance.

"No one, it's a bag of sand that fell down." The black dog said.

"No one? Did you see clearly?" the devil asked.

"No, I've checked it. If you're worried, go and see for yourself," said the black dog.

"Haha." The ghost said with a smile, "Mr. Shansi said no, then there must be no. Who doesn't know that you are the most powerful, even mice can't escape your eyes, you have helped us catch many hateful rebels Already." He praised the black dog, trying his best to express his trust, in order to save the embarrassment caused by the question just now.

Then, the sound of messy footsteps continued, only going away in the opposite direction, getting softer and weaker, until they could no longer hear any sound.
