Chapter 63: Twists and Turns
"Drag him until you're unsure of where he came from."
"It doesn't look like some bad guy."
"Even if he wasn't, there must be something wrong with his two tails, and we can't afford any missteps."
Hearing the word tail, Zhu Ge had already determined that the "he" in the mouth of the speaker was himself.
He put his ear to the door, wanting to hear the conversation more clearly, but forgot that he was still holding a teapot in his hand, the lid of the pot suddenly tilted, and it fell to the ground with a "pop", breaking in half, and he didn't care about lowering his head to pick it up, Zhu Ge quickly turned around and walked to the room, the door behind him opened, and the crisp voice of the shopkeeper appeared behind him.
"Don't move, if you move again, I'll shoot!"
So Zhu Ge was tied to a chair in the room, and across from him stood the boss and the shopkeeper, as well as a few people chatting in the courtyard at dusk.
"Who the hell are you?" These people were clearly ill-intentioned and hostile to him.
After several people looked at each other, the shopkeeper asked, "We want to know, who are you?" Do you know where you're going? ”
Zhu Ge didn't expect to shake off those two tails, but fell into another predicament. Intuitively, Zhu Ge decided that these people were not bad people, and it seemed that he was just very distrustful of him.
"It is true that he came to find a friend, and three nights ago, he was sent into the mountains."
Zhu Ge said vaguely, just to test the other party's origins.
"What is your friend's name, and where did he come from? Where do you come from? ”
Zhu Ge had a feeling of being interrogated, and out of protection of martial arts, he did not want to answer the first two questions.
"In Xia Zhuge, from Wuji Town, Wuji County."
As soon as the words came out, several people in front of them were stunned.
"The Wuji Town you are talking about, but the Wuji Town hundreds of miles away?"
"Exactly, down there is the acting mayor of Wuji Town."
"Tell me, then, who told you were coming here to find a friend?"
"Liu Dashan."
In fact, Zhu Ge was already roughly sure that these people were his own people, but for the sake of insurance, he still had to test it.
"I heard about it through my friend Liu Dashan, and I didn't want to meet all the heroes, except for some silver dollars on my body, there was nothing else, if I was making money, I hope it wouldn't hurt my life."
Several people looked at each other and smiled, and the shopkeeper stepped forward to loosen Zhu Ge's rope, and said with a consistent smile: "Mayor Zhu, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, don't worry, as long as you want, I will take you into the mountain at any time." ”
"The premise is that those two tails that don't know the origin must be shaken off."
"Who the hell are you?" Zhu Ge still has to ask.
"This town is a transit point between the hospital and the outside world, and we are responsible for intercepting all insecurity and sending everyone in need." The shopkeeper spoke in a set manner, and Zhu Ge could see that this was a person with culture and status.
"You're the head of this town?" He guessed.
"Mayor Zhu has good eyesight, this is Captain Wang Qiang of our special operations team."
"Fortunately, I will be lucky!" Zhu Ge got up and clenched his fists.
Wang Qiang smiled and patted Zhu Ge's shoulder, nodded and smiled: "Mayor Zhu is looking for a friend, but the soldier who was injured in the battle in Wuji Town a few days ago?" ”
Zhu Ge was gloomy.
"To tell you the truth, it's not your people, but the security captain of my town, who was seriously injured in the head, and now his life and death are unknown, and he is very anxious in his heart, hoping to enter the mountain immediately."
Although Wang Qiang was a little embarrassed, seeing Zhu Ge's resolute face, he turned his head and explained something to the shopkeeper, who nodded and motioned for Zhu Ge to go out with him.
"Mayor Zhu, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the journey is smooth."
Zhu Ge nodded to everyone and stepped out of the room with his feet raised.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse outside, and the bright moonlight covers everything, which is not bad, and you don't even need to bring lighting equipment.
Zhu Ge wanted to ride a horse, but was stopped by the shopkeeper.
"Mayor Zhu, your tail is still in this town, so leave the horse to confuse the public."
Yes, Zhu Ge gave up the idea of riding a horse, but he was worried that such a walk would delay time, and he was already like an ant on a hot pot, suffering uncomfortably.
The anxiety of wanting to see martial arts immediately made him unconsciously speed up his pace.
Fortunately, there are no jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains that the shopkeepers talk nonsense for alarmism, and a dirt road winds up to the valley between the two mountains.
"How long will it take?" He didn't know how many times he had asked it.
"It's almost there, after entering the valley, it's half an hour away."
Zhu Ge thought as he walked, even to protect the safety of the hospital, but this place may be too remote, in case of emergency, evacuation is a problem. The trail can only be passed by one person, and there are potholes in some places, which must be very difficult to walk if it rains. Why was it chosen here?
Occasionally, there would be the cries of unknown animals in the mountains and forests on both sides, and Zhu Ge was a little panicked when he heard it.
"Little brother, I'm stupid, I don't know why the hospital is built in such a place?" He still couldn't help but be curious, and asked.
The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously, pointed to the sparse lights in front of him and said, "We've arrived, you can see for yourself in a while." ”
Sure enough, not long after walking, a checkpoint appeared in front of me.
The shopkeeper learned the call of the partridge, three long and two short, and soon, there was the same response.
Someone walked over.
"Comrade, is there anything wrong with this late hour?" The little soldier with the gun swept the two with a flashlight, "Who is this person?" ”
The shopkeeper stepped forward and muttered a few words in a low voice, and the little soldier, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, nodded and raised the road pole.
The two walked up the road, and after a few road checkpoints, they finally saw a building that was clearly not in the Chinese style. In the courtyard, rows of white sheets are placed on clothes poles, and under the moonlight, it is eerie and chilling.
A row of patrolling soldiers passed by, and when they saw the shopkeeper, they seemed to be very familiar, of course, they didn't forget to look at Zhu Ge who was standing next to him, after all, there were not many people who could come here intact.
The two were about to go inside, when there was a sudden roar in the sky, from far to near, and when they got closer, Zhu Ge saw that it was a helicopter, and the helicopter circled for a while and landed behind the hospital. ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed, "Send another one." ”
"What?" Zhu Ge didn't understand the meaning of his words.
But as soon as the words fell, many medical staff ran out of the hospital gate, carrying stretchers and medical kits, and went straight to the backyard.
It turned out that another wounded one was sent.
Not long after, the person was carried in, his entire face was covered in blood, and if it weren't for his yellow hair, Zhu Ge really couldn't tell that it was a foreigner.
The two nurses saw Zhu Ge and the shopkeeper standing there stunned, and shouted loudly in a thin voice: "I haven't come to help yet!" ”
Zhu Ge immediately took the medicine box in the nurse's hand, and the shopkeeper also helped hold the infusion bottle, and the group quickly entered the rescue room.
"This is a hospital built by foreigners?" At present, China does not have the ability to build such a level of higher education hospital in such a place.
"This was originally a hospital prepared by the United States for US military pilots who provide assistance in China, but after consultation with the superiors, this has become the place where we are currently treating the seriously injured in North China.
"I heard I was shot in the head."
"Head? That ......" shopkeeper swallowed back when he came to his mouth, and he was shot in the head, and the chance of surviving was too small.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" A little nurse asked, walking over with her hands in her pockets.
"Oh, comrade, we are here to find someone, we were sent three days ago, and we were shot in the head......" Zhu Ge didn't know why, he was a little flustered, and his fist shrunk into his cuffs was already sweating.
"What's your name?" The nurse asked as she walked back.
"Martial arts, his name is martial arts." Zhu Ge chased after the nurse and replied quickly.
The nurse's footsteps stopped, Zhu Ge couldn't hold back, and almost hit her, but the shopkeeper pulled him in time.
"Who are you?"
"Yes...... Friend. ”
"Come with me."
The nurse led the two directly to the innermost ward on the third floor.
"The patient is in an unstable condition right now, don't bother him." The nurse ordered.
"Yes, don't worry, I'll just take a look." Zhu Ge's voice trembled a little, he was still alive! Gong'er was still alive, and he said, how could this bandit leader die so easily!
The door creaked open, Zhu Ge clenched his fists, and he didn't dare to blink his eyes more.
To his surprise, the first person to appear in his field of vision was Red Sleeves. Xu heard the door open, and she was coming out of it.
"Red Sleeves? How did you end up here? ”
"Mr. Zhu Ge!" Zhu Ge's appearance made Red Sleeves smile and bend her eyes, but when she saw that Zhu Ge's eyes didn't stay on her at all, but kept looking into the ward, her face completely collapsed.
"He's dying, let's take one last look."
Redsleeves gave way to the door with a cold face.
Zhu Ge raised his feet, only to find that his legs were weak, his hands clenched the clothes on his side, and walked to the hospital bed step by step.
Wu Gong fell asleep quietly, with a thick gauze wrapped around his head, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and his chest barely rose and fell.
It took him a lot of effort before he finally walked to the bed, stretched out his hand, and probed under the nose of martial arts.
Breathing is weak and cold......
Zhu Ge felt that his entire body was soaked in cold water, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
"Gong'er ......" Zhu Ge trembled and stretched out his hand, touching the bleeding white gauze, tears swirling in his eyes, and he tried his best to endure it......
"Let's go out first." Although Red Sleeves was unwilling, seeing Zhu Ge like this, she still relented, she pushed the nurse and the shopkeeper out of the ward, and did not forget to close the door.
"How's he doing?" The nurse asked Redsleeves, "Did you wake up today?" ”
"I didn't wake up at all after the operation, my breathing is getting shallower and shallow, and I guess I'm about to die, it's better to die, and I'll die early and be born sooner." There was not much sadness on Red Sleeves' face, which surprised the nurse and the shopkeeper.
"Even if he's not your friend, you can't curse people like this, right?"
"You! It's nosy to have you anywhere! ”
