Beacon 1937

December [-], [-], late at night

When I returned to Danji Rentang, I saw Li Xiangrong waiting worriedly in the hall of the pharmacy.Since the businesses and shops in this area close at five o'clock, and they will wash up and go to bed at almost eight o'clock, so Aiwen, who returns close to midnight, keeps Li Xiangrong worried.Seeing his blood-stained shirt later made Li Xiangrong panic even more.It wasn't until Ai Wen explained that these were not his blood, but stained during an operation to save an emergency patient, that the middle-aged man was a little relieved.

After washing up and changing into pajamas, Aiwen was finally able to lie on the bed and end this exhausting day.

However, due to his habit of waking up at night, he opened his eyes and got out of bed when it was close to midnight. He walked to the writing desk by the moonlight without even turning on the light. He grabbed the ceramic kettle and wanted to pour water into the cup. Not a drop of water in it.

Helpless, Aiwen had no choice but to look for water with the kettle in his hand.He remembered seeing a few thermos bottles in the kitchen, and there should be water there.

In order not to disturb the Li family father and son, Ai Wen gently opened the door and walked downstairs cautiously.

"...You little..."

Just when Ivan was halfway up the stairs, there was a sudden indistinct voice.He stopped immediately and listened carefully, but after waiting for a long time, he could only hear the cicadas around him.

Just when Ivan thought he heard it wrong, the voice came again...

"You son of a bitch!"

"Hush your voice!"

Now he was sure that the voice was not an auditory hallucination, but that someone really broke in.Ai Wen glanced at the kettle in his hand, weighed it, and it was quite heavy. He estimated in his heart that he should be able to knock the two thieves out, so he walked down lightly again, but this time he was more careful.

When he walked under the plane tree, he found that the door of the kitchen room was ajar, and there was a light coming from it.And as he got closer, the voice became clearer and clearer...

"Fucking little Japan! I don't know if he's dead or not. I really should go back and make up two more shots." A man with a loud voice and rough conversation but short of breath at the moment said loudly.

"Shut up! Say a few words to me!" A cold voice ordered in a cadence.

"Lieutenant Chen, he can't do this, he has to undergo surgery. I'm just a Chinese medicine doctor. Although I know some surgical knowledge, I don't know how to perform surgery at all." The voice this time made Ai Wen stop... It was the voice of Li Xiangrong, the shopkeeper!

"We can't take him to the hospital, otherwise it will become a reason for the Japanese to go to war." The cold voice said quietly.

"But sir, Qin Wu will die like this." It was another strange voice.

At this time, Ivan had already walked to the door. Just when he was about to peep through the crack of the door, the door was suddenly pulled inward, and a black muzzle of a gun was aimed at his forehead.

Aiwen raised his hands subconsciously, still holding the kettle in his right hand.It always feels like I just did this action a few hours ago.

The young man who was pointing the gun at him was startled slightly when he saw his face clearly. Although his face was shocked, he was a little taller than Ivan and still held the gun steadily with one hand.

Ai Wen stared at the handsome Chinese youth in front of him. For some reason, he didn't feel nervous or scared at all like the previous time.In fact, this Chinese youth exudes an aura of calm and prestige all over his body, but Ai Wen just feels that he will not really shoot himself.

"Doctor Abel!" Li Xiangrong was very surprised, and quickly explained to the young man, "Chen...Mr. Chen, don't shoot! He is a doctor who just came from the United States, and he is not a suspicious person."

However, this Mr. Chen didn't seem to hear, he still pointed the gun at Ivan, stared at him, and didn't say a word.Li Xiangrong, who was standing aside, was in a cold sweat.

On the other hand, Aiwen was calm and composed. He glanced at the man on the left wearing a gray cloth jacket, and then at another man lying on the long table with a thigh injury, dark skin, and a strong figure.They all stared at themselves with shocked eyes.

"I think your friend needs an operation immediately." Aiwen pointed to the man on the table and said to the young man.

"Yes! Yes! I almost forgot! Chen Zhong...Mr. Chen, he is a surgeon, he can perform the operation now." Li Xiangrong hurriedly chimed in.

After a few more seconds, "Mr. Chen" suddenly put away his gun and said to Ai Wen: "Then I will trouble you, doctor."

Ivan was surprised by his sudden change and smiled sincerely. At this moment, his blue eyes glowed charmingly under the lamp.

Then he immediately walked over to the mature man to check the injury... They wrapped a bandage on his thigh, but because the bullet stayed in the wound and couldn't heal, the blood stained most of the bandage red.

"Surgery without anesthesia, can you bear it?" Ai Wen suddenly asked the strong man.His only anesthesia had been used hours earlier, and now the man had to undergo surgery in excruciating pain.

"Ah? Surgery without anesthesia? What's that?" The strong man stared at his big bull-like eyes with a face full of confusion.

"... just don't use anesthesia. I'll cut it open with a scalpel, use tweezers to pull out the bullet, and finally sew it up. During this period..."

"No, no, no! Doctor Abel!" Before Ai Wen finished speaking, Li Xiangrong suddenly interjected, "I have it! I have everything for surgery!"

Ai Wen looked at Li Xiangrong in surprise.He didn't understand how a Chinese medicine doctor who opened a Chinese medicine shop would have surgery?

I saw Li Xiangrong ran to the cupboard and pushed it away, and then pulled away the wooden boards on the ground... There is a basement below!

However, only Aiwen was shocked, and the other three showed no surprise on their faces.

"Please move him down," Li Xiangrong said.

It was said that "Mr. Chen" stepped forward to carry the injured man on his back, but was stopped by the man in gray.

"Let me do it!" As he spoke, he carried the person on his back vigorously.

It was clearly an adult man on his back, yet he carried him down the stairs lightly.

Ai Wen silently watched the interaction of several people. In fact, he had already made up his mind about their identities, but he just didn't want to expose them.He followed them downstairs, unexpectedly the scene below shocked him even more!

Morphine, medical alcohol, penicillin, povidone iodine, diazepam, glucose, saline, bandages, gauze, etc... They were neatly placed on the cabinet against the wall and spread all around.There is also a mobile bed in the center.

... This place is simply a first aid warehouse!
