Episode 7 Finding Fang
Xiang Xiaoqiang heard Xiuxiu's cry, pushed away the military doctor MM, and strode to the door of the ward.
He was shocked by what he was doing in the hospital room.
Xiuxiu shrunk in the quilt, her pretty face was flushed, tears were in her eyes, staring at the two men in the ward pushing each other and twisting together.
And what's even more shocking is that both of them are still foreigners. One was dressed in a military uniform, as if it were still a British officer's uniform, and the other was in a suit. The British officer tore at the other and dragged him out the door, shouting between his teeth:
“Getout! Getout,……”
The man in the suit resisted with all his might, grabbed the railing of the hospital bed, and whispered:
"Huh! Mumble! …… Sunburned ......"
"Wow-"
Xiuxiu's hospital bed was dragged half a foot away by him, and Xiuxiu screamed in fright.
Xiang Xiaoqiang's anger surged up, slammed his fist on the door, and shouted loudly:
"Forehead Detective - Stretch !!"
The British officer immediately reflexively "snapped" upright, standing like a pole in the ward. The other man seized the opportunity and punched him in the lower stomach, and the Englishman crouched down with his stomach in his hands.
Xiang Xiaoqiang became angry again, and shouted loudly again:
"Ah-k-knock!!"
"Smack", the other also reflexively stands upright, also like a pole.
Xiang Xiaoqiang hugged his chest, his anger decreased slightly, and he looked at the two of them. Well, one British, one German, and both are military men.
The military doctor MM at the door looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang, who had made them stand in just two syllables, covered his mouth, and was amazed. The two nurses who rushed in hurriedly ran in and invited the two foreign friends out.
Xiuxiu was lying on the hospital bed, looking at Xiang Xiaoqiang at the door in a daze, slowly blushing on her face, the corners of her mouth twitched, and two large teardrops rolled down.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was very satisfied with Xiuxiu's performance, he glanced at Xiuxiu very gently, gave her an encouraging smile, and then turned his face, stared at the military doctor MM with a straight face, and said in a deep voice:
"What's going on? Your naval hospital allows people to fight at the patient's bedside, right? I've only been gone for a few days? That's the kind of life that Xiuxiu spent in your hospital? ”
The military doctor MM was frightened, took two steps back, slowly looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang's face, thought about it for a moment, and suddenly said in surprise:
"Ah, Xiang ...... Xiang Xiaoqiang! You are Captain Xiang Xiaoqiang! You're the hero who led the team behind enemy lines...... You came to see Xiuxiu some time ago! Hey, come and see, Captain Xiang is with us! ”
Xiang Xiaoqiang was dizzy for a while, thinking that this eldest sister is still so unreliable, and she hasn't said anything before she asks you, she chirps like a magpie......
Soon, the nurses of the entire corridor gathered at the door of the ward, chirping and probing their brains, looking at Xiang Xiaoqiang, asking each other, the military doctor MM chattered excitedly, and kept telling them about his last separate conversation with Xiaoqiang......
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked like this, his image was about to be ruined by this military doctor MM, coughed, pulled down his face and said:
"I'm not a hero now, I'm a colonel commander of the Imperial People's Guard, a lieutenant, stand up and talk back!"
Immediately there was silence.
……
The military doctor MM now admires and respects Xiang Xiaoqiang, and says everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Since the "special program" was broadcast on the radio the day before yesterday, many people came to the hospital to watch the show yesterday. In addition, Xiuxiu is a beauty, and even a big guy told Xiuxiu bluntly after reading her that he wanted to take her home and let her make a price. At first, it was "enthusiastic people from all walks of life who came to visit", and although Xiuxiu was annoyed, she still remained polite.
In the afternoon, even some second-rate people came to join in the fun. Xiu Xiucai couldn't bear it anymore and asked the hospital to kick everyone out. But there was a British officer, probably also in love with Xiuxiu, who bought a large bouquet of flowers and told his love very gentlemanly. Because he is British, and he is also the deputy military attache of the British Embassy in Ming, he has diplomatic immunity, and he has always maintained his demeanor, and the hospital is not easy to rush him, so Xiuxiu endures it.
"What's the matter with that German?"
The military doctor MM also said that the German young man had been hospitalized in their place a few days ago, and met Xiuxiu who was pushed out of a wheelchair in the courtyard, and after chatting for a while, he became obsessed with Xiuxiu, and came to deliver a rose every day these days, and he still came after being discharged from the hospital the day before yesterday. This young man seems to be younger than Xiuxiu, and he speaks very good Chinese.
According to the military doctor MM, the young man is quite elegant, he just comes to accompany him every day to say a few words, leave a rose and leave, not annoying. So even though this German guy has no identity and is easy to dismiss, Xiuxiu didn't let people go. It was when he came today that he saw that the Englishman was still here to bother Xiuxiu, so he stepped forward. The British hated the Germans and looked down on this hairy boy, so the two quarreled a few words and then fought.
Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded, and faintly felt a sense of crisis: Isn't there one more competitor? I saw that the German guy just now was quite young, he was only ten ** years old, and he was also very handsome, snow-skinned and blonde, and a standard Nordic Aryan race. Although he looks smaller than Xiuxiu, it is difficult to ensure that Xiuxiu does not move his thoughts. And as Westerners, they have a great advantage over Ming men in catching up with women in the Ming Dynasty - because they only marry one wife.
Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaoqiang's hands were cold. He ordered the door to be closed and not to be disturbed, and then gently came to Xiuxiu's bedside.
Xiuxiu looked at him with her chin tucked into the quilt as before, pursed her lips, and her eyes twinkled.
Xiang Xiaoqiang sat on the stool, sighed softly, and asked:
"You...... All right? ”
A smile crept into the corner of Xiuxiu's eyes and nodded slightly.
Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed again, asked about her condition, and asked her how she lived here? How's the food? Is it cold at night...... He knew that although he liked this Xiuxiu very much, it was still wishful thinking at the moment, and Xiuxiu didn't say anything. In other words, Xiuxiu has her own choice. I just have to be as considerate as possible for her.
Xiuxiu nodded and replied in a small voice.
Then, the two had a big cold scene.
Xiuxiu suddenly closed her eyes, and said in a small voice:
"You've been to Qiuqiu's house."
Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned, his heart turned, and he looked at Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu's eyes were slightly closed, and her cheeks slowly turned red.
He was overjoyed and sighed:
"Well, I've been...... His father was a great help to me...... But, you also know what happened between us...... You know what I do to her. In the same way, he knows what I do to you......"
Xiuxiu's face turned even redder. After a long while, he opened his eyes and said softly:
"It's been a hard trip. …… It's also dangerous. ”
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at her very gently, and stretched his hand into her quilt, wanting to hold her hand. Xiuxiu gently pushed Xiang Xiaoqiang's hand out and took the initiative to hold his hand outside the quilt.
A warm current surged through Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart, and he opened his mouth and said:
"There's nothing to work for, there's nothing dangerous, and I'll never leave the people I love, even if it's my own life. Whether it's Qiu Yu or you, I'll risk my life. ”
Xiuxiu looked at him for a long time, and finally smiled and nodded:
"Hmm...... I know. ”
Xiang Xiaoqiang held Xiuxiu's hand tightly, feeling the warmth from her body. Although he couldn't figure it out, he knew that this warm current was real. What a German lad, don't worry about it anymore.
"Xiuxiu."
Xiang Xiaoqiang plucked up his courage and said.
"Huh?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang took Xiuxiu's hand with both hands and kissed it gently:
"I'm so happy to have you."
Xiuxiu's face was flushed, her lips pursed, she nodded, and let out a mosquito-like hum:
"Hmm!"
Looking at Xiuxiu, who was full of crimson, with closed beautiful eyes and shy lying on the bed, with delicate lips, Xiang Xiaoqiang restrained the urge to kiss gently. But he knew that Xiuxiu and Qiu Yu were different. Xiang Xiaoqiang made up his mind to fully respect Xiuxiu before she became his wife. As long as she doesn't want to, never touch her.
Today is a confession to Xiuxiu, and Xiuxiu also agreed.
As for Qiu Qiu's side, Xiang Xiaoqiang was not worried at all. The relationship between Qiu Yu and Xiuxiu is already very good, if he really marries a lot of wives, then Qiu Yun and Xiuxiu will definitely become the most iron-clad "one party" among them.
After a while, Xiuxiu whispered:
"Xiaoqiang, ......"
Xiang Xiaoqiang's heart was even warmer: she finally stopped calling herself "Mr. Xiang".
This "Xiaoqiang" called Xiuxiu herself and wanted to find a crack to drill down. But she met Xiang Xiaoqiang's gentle gaze and continued shyly:
"Xiaoqiang, that German, he ......"
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled:
"There's no need to say it now, I don't care about him anymore. I only have you in my heart. ”
Xiuxiu's face showed sweetness, and she said:
"I know...... But I'll have to tell you. The German said that he was visiting Daming, and said a few days ago that he had appendicitis and had surgery here. The day before yesterday, while we were chatting in the courtyard, one of his friends came to him, and the two of them whispered to each other. It was German, which I didn't understand, but they repeatedly mentioned two words, one was Führer and the other was SS. ”
Xiang Xiaoqiang's eyebrows gradually twisted. As a military fan, this couldn't be simpler, Führer: Führer, SS: SS.
The young man was German, and it was normal for Germans to talk about the Führer, but while constantly mentioning the Führer, and at the same time constantly mentioning the SS, it was clearly not like the common people.
As soon as he established the "SS" of the Ming Dynasty, the authentic SS in Germany is likely to come to the door...... It stands to reason that he, the commander of the Ming People's Guard, is also a foreign intelligence organization that is a good target to get close to. Could it be that this person is using his proximity to Xiuxiu to get close to himself?
No. He had been hospitalized many days ago, and he had been chasing Xiuxiu for many days, and it had only been three days since the coup d'état and he became the commander of the People's Guard.
Xiuxiu said again:
"He said his name was Pflaume.Eisern-Mann, he said Pflaume means 'peach' and Eisern-Mann means 'iron man'. I...... I call him Ah Tie. ”
Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded, asked about the characteristics and details of that person, kept it in his heart, and prepared to go back and let people check it, and then send someone to keep an eye on it, and next time he came, he would keep an eye on it. This is also the first business of the People's Guard after it opened.
Then Xiang Xiaoqiang talked to Xiuxiu about the idea of running the People's Guard, and asked her some professional questions, but Xiuxiu still answered some and some did not. Xiang Xiaoqiang estimated that she was still a member of the East Factory, and she was reluctant to talk about some things involving the secrets of the East Factory. Xiang Xiaoqiang originally estimated that Xiuxiu was such a person, even if she became her wife, as long as she was still a person from Dongchang one day, she would be loyal to her duties.
"There is someone who should be willing to help you, and he is also a rare master."
Xiuxiu said.
"Who?"
Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"Princess Liaoyang."
……
Qinhuai District.
Stone road, small bridge and flowing water, pink walls and tiles, weeping willows are swaggering, very quiet and quaint. The villas and residences of dignitaries and nobles in Nanjing City are mostly gathered here.
Xiang Xiaoqiang got off the car, signaled the driver not to honk, and stepped forward in person.
The house was some distance from the road, with its clumsy stone walls, withered creepers, and a small stone path faintly leading into the ancient trees and flowers in the wrought iron gate decorated with bronze flowers. In the canopy of evergreen trees exposed in the stone walls, all kinds of beautiful birdsong are melodious and melodious.
It's really a good place for self-cultivation.
On the stone stack next to the iron gate, there is a quaint bronze plaque with the words: No. 14 Scissors Lane.
Rang the bell twice to Xiaoqiang.
"Poof", a black shadow jumped from a high place and disappeared into the orchid bush. It was a black cat. Seeing that Xiang Xiaoqiang did not move, the black cat walked out gracefully, sat on the stone path, and looked at him through an iron gate.
After a while, a figure appeared from the flower path, a maid. Yes, a maid, a young girl, dressed in a very classic maid's outfit, with a long apron and two pigtails.
The black cat seemed to be very familiar with her, "meowed", rubbed her body on her legs, and the girl laughed and cursed, for fear of stepping on it, and walked cautiously towards the door.
"You are ......"
She inadvertently inserted her right hand into the big pocket of her apron, looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang with a smile through the iron door, looked at his military uniform and rank, and finally stopped at the collar badge.
Xiang Xiaoqiang saw that she was very familiar, and as soon as he heard her speak, he immediately remembered it.
Isn't this the girl who took a big book to find herself to "sign" before the meeting in Dongchang?
Well, it's done quite well, even the maid is a female agent of the East Factory. In her right hand, which was inserted in her apron, she probably had a gun.
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled:
"Under Xiaoqiang, I ask to see Her Royal Highness Princess Liaoyang."
