Chapter 19: Hanging Lives

Jia Boss has infinite ability, and he can even speak a few stumbling Japanese. After leaving the docks, the three of them limped to the city center and found a dilapidated Yamato inn as a temporary place to stay.

The two brothers of the Jia family went to bed and fell asleep. Qiao Zhicai hugged the quilt and gritted his teeth, and said in his heart What kind of beast is this, one like a pig is wider than the other, and his heart is as wide as the sea.

As a result, as soon as his head was next to the pillow, he immediately sank into the dark sweet country tiredly.

Qiao Zhicai was frightened all day long, and had nightmares in the middle of the night. In his dream, the corpse mountain, the blood, the sea monster, and the demon monster frightened him to keep running and dodging. Painfully scratching the heart and scratching the liver, not waking up.

In an attic in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the other side of the ocean, Qiao Lijie suddenly opened his eyes and woke up covered in sweat.

He got up in a daze and drank a glass of water, which he spilled everywhere.

The death of the dream followed him like a ghost. It was as if he could see the sea of blood and corpses dancing around as soon as he turned around.

Qiao Lijie sat in the dark room in a daze, facing a portrait of his second brother on the small table.

When he dreams back at midnight, it is when he is at his most vulnerable. He suspected that he was being frightened by his second brother.

However, he quickly rejected this inconsequential conjecture. The second brother should be okay adrift on the cruise ship, according to the time. I'm afraid I'm going to arrive in Hong Kong.

A few days later, he recalled the unprovoked nightmare and compared the time of the shipwreck in the newspapers. The proof is that on the night of the bombing, he and his second brother were miraculously connected again.

As a staunch materialist, Jolige thinks fascinated from electromagnetism analysis to wave-particle duality. At last he suddenly heard General Roshi greet him.

Qiao Lijie followed General Roshi, who was wearing a military uniform, past a group of soldiers lined up neatly. The two shook hands cordially in front of the plane, and the general introduced: "This is the Japanese translator I found for you." When the team arrives in Kyushu, he'll help you find your second brother! ”

Qiao Lijie said: "Thank you so much! Your Excellency, General! I won't forget your help......"

It turned out that he used all his connections this time to find an investigation team that flew directly to Kyushu. With the help of the head of the laboratory, General Roshi, it was possible to get to the place of the incident as soon as possible.

Two or three members of the investigation team boarded the plane.

The small plane took off in a crashed position and staggered into the sky.

Qiao Lijie sat on the bumpy plane, feeling like throwing up on the one hand, and feeling too slow on the other. I can't wait to invent a rocket now, and launch myself to the second brother in one step.

The sea of clouds floating outside the window caught his eye, and he swiped through his notebook to record his conjectures about telepathy, looking up at the clouds from time to time. The panic that didn't go down enveloped him like a floating cloud, so he often had to raise his head and take a deep breath and spit it out slowly.

The interpreter asked, "Mr. Joe?" Do you know where your brother might be? ”

Qiao Lijie shook his head. "If you prepare for the worst. Let's go to Kyushu Hospital first. ”

The interpreter nodded, and said in his heart, "If it's the worst, you don't even have to go to the hospital......

Qiao Zhicai is trapped in Kyushu.

He and the two brothers of the Jia family squirmed out of the crowd with difficulty, wiping the sweat from their foreheads. He took a handkerchief and fanned the wind and said, "When will we leave this hellish place?" ”

Boss Jia is elegant and decent at all times, and he seems to be much more energetic than Jia Yihe and Qiao Zhicai. He put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked up at the sky. "Now that the docks are all paralyzed, and we can't go out by land, I think we have to stay here for a few more days."

Jia Yihe jumped three feet high and said: "What is there to stay in this place, I don't care, I just want to go to Hong Kong." ”

Qiao Zhicai wilted and glanced at the second child of the Jia family, who looked like a lock picker. Manic psychosis is suspected. Most scientists are said to have mental illness. His thoughts wandered to Joliger again. The third child is obviously very difficult to interact with people, and maybe it is also a mental problem.

Jia Yihe didn't notice that Qiao Zhicai had already treated him as a mad dog. He shook his head, crossed his waist, and pointed to the sky and cursed. And Boss Jia seems to be accustomed to his younger brother's unstable mental state. Kicked him very calmly.

Jia Yihe was kicked by the eldest brother who flew out of the sky and couldn't get up for a long time, so he temporarily stopped the noise.

George asked himself, feeling that he was much better to Qiao Lijie than the Jia brothers. So a little emotion rose. The heart said: If I beat Lijie like this, maybe he will be obedient and dare not blow up his wings. Don't even dare to kick my nose and face to move my hands and feet! He struggled to think of those kisses and touches, those sweet gasps. I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The three of them had no choice but to return to the Yamato Hotel again.

Although the boss of the Jia family has a modest appearance, his name is very powerful, called Jia Zhenting.

Jia Zhenting wanted to find a boat to go to sea, but there were only fishermen's boats nearby. Immediately after the resumption of communication, he sent a telegram to Tianjin, asking his father for assistance.

Kyushu is not as prosperous as Tokyo, but it has a unique wild interest. The undulating wheat waves in the suburbs have also begun to bloom with new green.

Qiao Zhicai came to Japan for the first time, and he was curious about all the customs. Jia Zhenting took them to a nearby tavern to sit down. There is also a noticeable lack of business in the tavern. Only a half-aged wearing a kimono is silently taking care of business.

Qiao Zhicai asked, "Brother Jia, have you ever been to Japan?" ”

Jia Zhenting nodded.

Jia Yihe said, "My brother is going to study in Tokyo, Japan!" ”

Jia Zhenting didn't want to mention it, so he told him to shut up.

Qiao Zhicai guessed that he must be a person with a story. But people don't want to say it, and he doesn't ask around.

The three of them drank a bottle of sake. Qiao Zhicai said: "This thing is tasteless, far worse than our Moutai." ”

Jia Yihe rarely agreed with his words. "It's like, this thing is. It's too bad to drink. ”

Qiao Zhicai felt that Jia Yihe's speaking level was really limited, so he didn't bother to talk to him.

The middle-aged man who was drinking on the side heard them talking, touched them and asked, "Is it Chinese?" ”

Jia Zhenting let out his gaze and looked at the man, seeing that he was dressed no different from ordinary Japanese men, so he nodded.

The man chatted with Jia Zhenting and asked, "Do you want to go to Hong Kong?" The Chinese stranded here have long since left to avoid the next wave of attacks. ”

Jia Zhenting was noncommittal, and did not express his position.

Then the man said, "I can take you to Hong Kong!" ”

Jia Zhenting smiled: "I also want to go to Tokyo with my friends to visit teachers. There is no rush to go. ”

Qiao Zhicai is an old Jianghu, he sensed that something was wrong, and held down Jia Yihe to prevent him from interjecting.

The three of them came out of the tavern, and Jia Zhenting said, "Let's keep an eye on people." Don't move around. ”

Qiao Zhicai felt someone following him, lit a cigarette for him, and asked, "What the hell?" ”

Jia Zhenting took a cigarette in his mouth, "Japanese gangsters, vampires in troubled times." Seeing that a few of us Chinese lived in a hotel, I wanted to take advantage of the chaos to grab a hand. ”

Qiao Zhicai frowned, the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake. If you are not familiar with the place, you are afraid that you will not be able to get rid of the local hooligans. What's more, the sea is still full of floating corpses, and after the robbery, you just have to throw them into the sea.

At night, the doors and windows of the three people were closed, and Jia Zhenting took out a Browning pistol, loaded it with bullets and wiped oil.

Qiao Zhicai saw that he had a gun and asked, "Why didn't you take it out earlier?" ”

Jia Zhenting smiled: "It's just a group fight." I can't kill you! ”

Qiao Zhicai intuitively felt that he was not joking, so he had to smile wryly.

A few people turned off the lights and chatted for a while in the dark. Qiao Zhicai gradually became sleepy, trying to stay awake against the cold wall. In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a thunderclap. It took a long time to react in a daze, and it turned out to be a gunshot.

Someone tried to break into the house, but was forced back by Boss Jia with a gun.

When they saw that they had guns outside the door, they immediately fired back. For a moment, bullets flew sideways, and wood chips flew in all directions. Qiao Zhicai hugged his head and lay on the ground, lamenting that he was really unfavorable for the past year, and he could be remembered by others after drinking a little wine.

After a shootout between the two sides, the scene was very chaotic. Jia Zhenting dragged his younger brother and beckoned Qiao Zhicai to jump out of the window and escape.

In the darkness, Qiao Zhicai saw that Jia Zhenting had been shot in the arm, covering his arm with blood.

The trio fled under the cover of night. Qiao Zhicai couldn't help but worry about where to run? Seeing that the Japanese gangsters are about to catch up.

Boss Jia said, "Go back to the izakaya at night." ”

Jia Yihe paused and said, "Brother, what are you going there to do at this time?" ”

Qiao Zhi knew that he had other plans, so he had to fight his spirit and staggered towards the tavern at the moment of crisis.

Jia Yihe saw that Qiao Zhicai was still carrying the box. said: "It's all at this time, and you are still sacrificing your life and money." ”

Qiao Zhicai hugged his box tightly. "This is entrusted to me by others, and I can't give it up even if I give up my life."

Luckily, the tavern wasn't far away, just a few steps away.

Qiao Zhicai smashed the glass of the back door with the box, and the three of them rushed into the dark tavern. His heart was pounding. I heard the sound of footsteps outside and ran away.

Boss Jia stumbled to the side in the dark. Qiao Zhicai held him, and Jia Zhenting said, "You can help me make a call." ”

There was a telephone on the wall of the tavern. Qiao Zhi knew that he was asking for help, and hurriedly dialed the phone for him. There was a long beep over there, but no one answered. When I was anxious, it happened to be through there.

Jia Zhenting stepped forward and muttered in Japanese.

Qiao Zhicai thought to himself, it's useless for you to say so quietly, I don't understand.

Jia Zhenting put down the phone and sighed.

Qiao Zhicai understood that his fate was hanging by a thread at this time, and asked, "How is it?" Will your friends come and help? ”

Jia Zhenting took out his gun and gestured. smiled and said, "I don't know if it's too late." ”

Qiao Zhicai flipped the suitcase in his hand and said, "Brother Zhenting, I'll give them these things." You don't have to go out and work hard. ”

A smile appeared on Jia Zhenting's smooth face. "Brother Qiao is really interesting. Don't worry, I can handle it. ”

Qiao Zhicai heard someone walking this way outside, and hurriedly grabbed Jia Zhenting. "What can you handle. We think we're unlucky, but we can't go toe-to-toe with them. ”

Someone shouted in Japanese outside the tavern.

Qiao Zhicai asked, "What did they say?" ”

Jia Zhenting sneered, "They want us to go out and surrender by ourselves, it's really a pipe dream." These bastards have no credibility at all and will only kill you with one shot! ”

Qiao Zhicai saw that Jia Zhenting's right arm couldn't move, so he grabbed the gun and checked it.

Jia Zhenting asked, "Have you ever played with a gun?" ”

Qiao Zhicai grinned and replied, "I went up the mountain to beat rabbits, but I didn't have any accurate head." ”

Jia Zhenting said: "Novices should not aim at the head, it is not easy to hit. Then he aimed at his body and chest and saw people and shoot again. ”

Qiao Zhicai felt that the cold pistol seemed to be able to break his palm heavily. Seeing that his expression was calm, his heart was slightly quiet. "Don't worry, killing one is enough for two to earn."

The people outside became more and more anxious, and saw a glimmer of light floating in the sky, so they surrounded the tavern and tried to slam the door through the front and back doors at the same time.

Qiao Zhicai's heart turned black with hatred. Managed to escape a big bombing. Do you really want to sacrifice this old bone in a foreign land and become a lonely ghost?
