The second brother looked back at the family who was still completely in the dark, and his face was rare and solemn. He lowered his voice and admonished me: "I will definitely find a way to get them out of here, but there is no need for any hesitation or pickiness at all times, our only purpose is to live." ”

His tone made me very uneasy, and I lowered my voice and asked him, "Then what are you going to do, I can't think of a way to save myself now." The Japanese surrounded Shanghai like an iron bucket, and even if you have the ability to reach the sky with one hand, you can't take all such a large family out safely. ”

The second brother smiled miserably: "There is always a way, it depends on what I can give." Now, for your sake, I will not hesitate to be alone. ”

I felt a slight pain in my heart, the person in front of me, his lost eyes, and the helpless curvature of the corners of his mouth were telling me that he would pay a huge price for the safety of his family. But he was so tight-lipped that I couldn't tell what he wanted from just a few words. I think he must have promised too much and lost too much. But all I did was silently hold his cold hand: "Okay, then let's not waste time, let's split up." You go get someone to help you first, and I'll go and get everyone to start preparing for the evacuation. When the car arrived, we left immediately. ”

The second brother gave me a meaningful look, but did not refute my words. He just said in a quick but decisive tone: "Okay, you stay here and wait for news." If all goes well, I'll pick you up myself, and if something goes wrong, someone will take you away. At that time, I have already thought of the code of the joint, and the person who comes will knock on the door five times first, and then say that he is thirsty and wants to drink water, and you will answer him in the house, there is Qimen black tea, Huangshan Maofeng and Biluochun, which one do you want. If he answers you and asks you for a glass of boiled water in the middle of the night, then you can open the door for him. He will take you to a safe place to settle down temporarily. When the time is ripe and the limelight is not so tight, I will find an opportunity to send you out of Shanghai, and whether you want to go to Hong Kong or the United States depends on your grandfather's wishes. ”

The second brother's plan was not rigorous, but it did not dampen his worries in the slightest. He has always been so strong, and he likes to carry it alone. In order not to worry his family, he didn't know how long he had been planning to escape. I told him in an unusually firm tone: "Okay, you can rest assured to deal with it, and I will definitely arrange things at home." ”

That night, I sent my second brother away, but I couldn't sleep at all. Thinking back to what the second brother had done these days, I suddenly had an idea, and almost immediately guessed what the sacrifice the second brother was talking about. Knowing the truth, I immediately covered my mouth, and tears welled up in my eyes. I tried to turn the tide, but I found that I had nothing to offer, and I was full of passion and impulse, but I couldn't do anything at all. I thought of this time and that time, and now those people are helping the second brother for the immediate interests; But if one day you accidentally offend them, the power of the backlash may be even greater than it is now.

If it had been changed before, I might have been able to turn to Cao Yu'an or Gu Zuoyan for help, but now these two are still difficult to protect, what strength do they have to help me? As for those people, I thought with hatred that the ambitions and identities of those people had already been revealed. It is more likely that all this is their deliberate plan, just to force the second brother to comply step by step. As for the second brother, although he knew the joints, but the lives of his family members were threatened, and he was restrained by people everywhere, so he could only be killed, I couldn't help but cover my face with my hands and let out a lament.

What I never expected was that a multiple-choice question that would change the fate of me and my whole family was placed in front of me. Just as I was tossing and turning, the phone ringing downstairs. In the dark and quiet midnight, in the empty and silent big house, it looks extremely terrifying. My mind was moving, and a strange thought came to me.

When I rushed downstairs, I found that the light was shining through the cracks in the door, and I don't know if everyone was awakened by a call in the middle of the night or if they had just stayed awake all night. I picked up the earpiece, but an unfamiliar bass voice came: "Miss Zhu, remember me?" ”

I was confused: "Huh? ”

The voice laughed suspiciously: "I thought you would recognize me when you turned into ashes, and it seems that Miss Zhu's memory is not very good." Hello, I'm Cao Wuxian. ”

I was annoyed: "I don't think I'm so familiar with you, I've reached the point of connecting with each other late at night." What you did today is really presumptuous, and the old people in the family are afraid that they will also be awakened by you. If there's nothing important, I'll hang up first. I was about to hang up the receiver when I heard a voice from across the phone: "Wait, hang up my phone, you may miss the only way to get the whole family out safely." ”

I didn't hesitate to take back the earpiece, and it was only when people were most nervous and anxious that I truly explained what it meant to "rush to the doctor": "Say it quickly, what method." "My voice was low, and it sounded a little threatening."

And Cao Wuxian is not secret: "There is a person who is very important to us who is seriously injured now, and we urgently need an operation to save him." You can rest assured, we have prepared the operating table, surgical equipment and medicines, and there is a shortage of doctors who can treat diseases and save people without revealing secrets. ”

I rejected him almost without thinking: "Director Cao, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about me." Even without this war, I would still be an ordinary medical student, not a real surgeon at all. Not to mention that because of this war, even my dreams had to be interrupted. I can't remember how long it has been since I've held a scalpel in my hands, let alone saving people, and I can't save a cat. If you really want to save your friend, you might as soon as you get someone else, and maybe you can be saved. ”

Cao Wuxian's words suddenly changed 360 and became gloomy: "Miss Zhu, you probably don't know much about your situation. Now is not the time for you to bargain for money, I am your only lifesaver now, and if you miss it, you and your dear brother will have absolutely no good fruit to eat. You probably don't know how powerful the enemy you are facing, in a word, there are not many people in this world who can escape the clutches of Tegaoko. I'll send a car to pick you up in a quarter of an hour, and I'll go out as soon as I hear the horn. In order to show his attitude, he reiterated again: "This matter must not be leaked, the situation will be more serious than you think." ”

Even though I successfully operated on Cao Yu'an under extremely difficult circumstances, when I changed into a surgical gown and picked up a scalpel, my right hand still trembled uncontrollably.
