Chapter 11 - Spending the night in a mountain village
At the moment when the driver was shot, Ah Sheng also shot at the driver of the opposing vehicle under the cover of the driver's body, and the bullet hit the head of the opposing driver, and the car instantly tilted to the other side of the road and collided with the opposite vehicle.
Ah Sheng seized the gap, leaned over and opened the driver's door, pushed the driver out of the car, and stepped into the driving position to continue driving.
Another car behind chased after him again and kept shooting at Tan Xi's car, Tan Xi hid in the back seat, scared that there was no blood on his face.
Taking advantage of the terrain, Ah Sheng drove over a big tree, suddenly leaned out of the car, shot the driver of the vehicle behind him, and the bullet hit the head impartially, killing the driver on the spot. But at the same time, the killer of the passenger in the other car's car also shot Ah Sheng, who was shot in the shoulder and continued to drive forward in pain.
The sudden death of the driver of the other car's car caused the vehicle to crash directly into a tree, Ah Sheng turned his head and threw a gun to Tan Xi: "Miss, keep shooting at that car until it explodes." β
Tan Xi was stunned for a second, picked up the gun, and fired a random shot at the car behind without any concept, Ah Sheng saw it in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Miss, don't touch the gun again. Dangerous. Ah Sheng turned the head of the car and drove towards the other party's car, and two people got out of the other party's car and kept shooting at Tan Xi's car.
Ah Sheng accelerated to the bullet and continued to move forward, and when it approached, the car did not slow down. Ah Sheng took out a ** from his hand, threw it at the vehicle, and then quickly drove away.
Explosions sounded, and the opposing vehicle was destroyed.
Seeing that there were no vehicles chasing after him, Ah Sheng breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and looked at the pale-faced Tan Xi from the rearview mirror: "Is Miss okay?" β
"I'm fine." Tan Xi was a little stunned.
"Miss, we're safe for the time being." Ah Sheng comforted Tan Xi softly.
Tan Xi still nodded stunned.
Ah Sheng knew that Tan Xi was frightened, so he tried to say as easily as possible: "Miss won't shoot?" Haven't opened it before? β
Tan Xi looked at the gun still in his hand and nodded: "I won't, I haven't fired a gun, I thought I wouldn't use it." Ah Sheng... Ah Sheng... Tan Xi bit his lower lip and couldn't speak.
Ah Sheng looked distressed, so he deliberately said lightly: "Miss fired the gun just now, although it didn't hit, but it is still very handsome!" Look cool. β
Tan Xi looked up at the rearview mirror: "Ah Sheng, you are injured." Is it serious? β
"It's okay, it's all skin trauma." Ah Sheng tried to speak as easily as possible, so as not to worry Tan Xi.
As he spoke, the car slowed down and finally stopped. Ah Sheng frowned and started again, but he couldn't continue to start.
Ah Sheng was helpless: "Miss, I'm afraid the car was broken when I threw ** at them just now." Next, we're going to hike. β
"Aren't you waiting here?" Tan Xi asked.
"The target of the car is too big, if there are any more people chasing after us, we can't run away, and now we have to leave immediately." What Ah Sheng said is beyond doubt.
Tan Xi nodded and got out of the car, "Ah Sheng, is there any medicine?" Heart discomfort. β
Ah Sheng took out the bloody medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Tan Xi: "Miss, there is no water now." β
"Ah Sheng, you are seriously injured." Tan Xi's eyes were full of worry when he looked at Ah Sheng.
"Miss take the medicine first."
Tan Xi took out a piece of medicine and put it directly in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
"Is it bitter?" Ah Sheng looked at Tan Xi frowning, and a smile appeared on his face.
Tan Xi nodded and did not speak.
Ah Sheng took out a small box from his jacket pocket, took out a candy from it, handed it to Tan Xi's mouth, and looked at Tan Xi's eyes full of doting.
Tan Xi opened his mouth and took it, and the nervous expression on his face gradually eased as the sweetness spread in his mouth.
It was getting dark, and the light in the woods was even darker. Ah Sheng looked at the sky and roughly distinguished the direction, then pointed to one place and said, "Miss, let's go in this direction." Hopefully find a place to spend the night before dark. β
Tan Xi nodded and followed Ah Sheng's side.
"It's hard to walk in the woods, so Miss follows me closely." After Ah Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Tan Xi again, "Let's go with Miss on your back." Ah Sheng half-squatted down and motioned for Tan Xi to come up.
Tan Xi turned to Ah Sheng and shook his head: "You are injured, I'm fine, I can go." After Tan Xi finished speaking, he put his hand into Ah Sheng's hand, "This way you won't lose it." β
Ah Sheng held Tan Xi's soft little hand, feeling that his palms seemed to be sweating, and his steps were much slower than usual: "Miss, tell me when you're tired, I'll carry you." β
"Ah Sheng, I drag you down every time." Tan Xi said frustrated.
"No, it won't." Ah Sheng said it succinctly, Ah Sheng's heart was full of happiness at this time, he had forgotten the gunshot wound in his shoulder, and the fact that he was still being hunted down, and the world was left with only the hand holding Tan Xi.
The sky was completely dark, Tan Xi had already reached the point of doubting life, and although Ah Sheng's wound had been simply bandaged, it was still bleeding, and his face had begun to turn pale.
Ah Sheng looked at Tan Xi and didn't speak for a long time, so he found the topic and said, "Miss should practice shooting." β
"Well, I want to learn when I go back this time, so I can drag you down a little less in the future. I never thought I would encounter such a scene before. Tan Xi gasped and said.
"I can teach Miss, I'm good marksmanship." Ah Sheng still held Tan Xi's hand and said proudly.
"Good. I don't know if I can learn it, is it difficult? Tan Xi was also talking casually boringly.
Some bright lights appeared not far away, and Ah Sheng saw it with sharp eyes. "Miss, there's someone in front."
Tan Xi cheered up: "Shall we go to spend the night?" β
"Let's see the situation first, it's best to spend the night." Ah Sheng remained vigilant.
Tan Xi and Ah Sheng came to the door of the courtyard, Ah Sheng observed the door for a while, and listened to the courtyard, the courtyard seemed to be very lively, and someone was singing birthday songs.
Ah Sheng nodded to Tan Xi, and Tan Xi knocked on the courtyard door.
The one who opened the door was an old man in his 60s, who was slightly surprised to see Tan Xi and the injured Ah Sheng.
Tan Xi spoke: "My brother and I drove out, and we met robbers halfway, and the car was hijacked. In order to protect me, my brother was robbed. We've been running in the woods for a long time, can you let us spend the night here? Tan Xi said that it was pitiful, and his pale little face was full of fear and exhaustion.
Ah Sheng also leaned on Tan Xi's side, hanging his head, looking so badly injured that he was about to die.
The old man looked at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the courtyard door to let the two in.
Ah Sheng walked into the courtyard, hung his head, glanced at another old woman and two children in the courtyard out of the corner of his eye, and did not find anything suspicious, so he followed the old man to a room in the courtyard.
The old man's wife also came over when she saw a stranger coming to the house. The old man and his wife briefly talked about the situation of Tan Xi and the others. Then he said to Tan Xi: "Your brother's gunshot wound must be removed as soon as possible to stop the bleeding." It's a bit far from town, and you don't have a doctor, so you'll have to do it yourself. β
Ah Sheng nodded and asked the old man for some medicine and tools, ready to deal with the gunshot wound.
The old woman went back to her room and brought the things she needed, and handed them to Tan Xi, who thanked her and looked at these things in a daze.
Ah Sheng saw it in his eyes, endured the pain and said, "I'll teach you." β
"I... I won't. Tan Xi's hands were trembling slightly, and he looked at the old couple beside him, both of whom shook their heads to indicate that they could not do anything, and then exited the room.
"Miss, just do what I say, it's not difficult." Ah Sheng comforted Tan Xi.
Tan Xi nodded, bit his lip, and followed Ah Sheng's instructions, his hands trembled to help Ah Sheng take out the bullet in his shoulder, and then barely stopped the bleeding. After doing all this, Tan Xi was already in tears.
"Miss is doing a good job." Ah Sheng endured the sharp pain and squeezed out a smile.
"Ah Sheng, I'm sorry." Tan Xi lay on the side of Ah Sheng's bed and cried, and after crying for a while, Tan Xi slowly spoke: "Ah Sheng, in fact, you don't have to work so hard to protect me. After Tan Xi finished speaking, he looked at Ah Sheng, who had lost too much blood and had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Tan Xi looked at the many wounds on Ah Sheng's body, felt uncomfortable, and couldn't bear to disturb Ah Sheng's rest, so he left the room and came to the courtyard.
In the courtyard, the old couple is accompanying a pair of five or six-year-old children to celebrate their birthdays, among which the girls are wearing birthday hats on their heads, and the boys around them are seriously clapping their hands and singing birthday songs.
Seeing Tan Xi come out, the old woman beckoned Tan Xi to eat cake together. Tan Xi wiped the tears from his face and sat down at the table.
The little girl cut the cake and handed it to Tan Xi: "Beautiful sister eats cake." β
Tan Xi looked at the cake in his hand and the old people and children around him, feeling very cordial, and the feeling of home after a long time warmed Tan Xi's heart.
Late at night, Tan Xi had insomnia, touched Ah Sheng's head, and had a fever. After feeding Ah Sheng a fever reducer, Tan Xi sat in the courtyard, surrounded by a dark environment and fear. Tan Xi tightened his body, hugged his arms around his shoulders, buried his head in his arms, and cried softly.
I don't know when, Ah Sheng quietly stood beside Tan Xi.
When Tan Xi raised his head, he met Ah Sheng's concerned gaze, his strong will collapsed instantly, he got up and hugged Ah Sheng, put his face on Ah Sheng's chest, and said in a low voice: "Ah Sheng, I'm afraid." β
"Miss... Ah Sheng didn't know what to say, so he could only wrap his uninjured arm around Tan Xi.
"Ah Sheng, I have been in the organization for 8 years, and I have never encountered such a situation, I am afraid." Tan Xi's voice trembled slightly.
Ah Sheng gently patted Tan Xi's back: "It's going to get better, Miss don't be afraid, Ah Sheng will accompany Miss and won't let Miss be hurt." β
Tan Xi held back his tears and nodded gently.
"I never thought I'd be hunted down like this, I thought I was just doing research. This situation is all Han Yan's business.,Am I thinking too simply?γγγ Tan Xi muttered softly.
"Miss has been working in the laboratory and doesn't understand the cruelty of the outside world, Mr. Fu has always protected Miss very well." Ah Sheng said softly.
"I used to be naΓ―ve enough to think that bodyguards were redundant. Ah Sheng, I was wrong... Ah Sheng, I'm so scared... I was scared to even live in such a mountain, I ... I'm too weak ... Tan Xi broke down emotionally and kept crying.
"Miss, you behaved very well in the shootout in the car today, and now you are safe, don't be afraid." Ah Sheng gently coaxed Tan Xi.
"Ah Sheng, what would I do without you by my side?"
"Without Ah Sheng, there will be other bodyguards to protect Miss." Ah Sheng said a little self-deprecating.
"Will they be as faithful as you?" Tan Xi didn't believe it.
"Yes, Mr. Fu will always choose the best bodyguard to protect Miss."
Tan Xi shook his head and looked at Ah Sheng: "They won't work as hard as you, they won't talk to me, they won't comfort me." Ah Sheng, you are different from them. β
Ah Sheng knew that his feelings, words and deeds had gone beyond the scope of a bodyguard's duties, so he could only gently pat Tan Xi's back: "Ah Sheng will always accompany Miss, Miss don't worry anymore." β
Tan Xi nodded and leaned in Ah Sheng's arms, gradually closing his eyes.
