When it was almost dark, Shen Zhiqing returned to the store. When Lao Liu saw her, he smiled happily and ran out of the counter, "Oh, the owner, you are finally back, they didn't embarrass you, right?" Shen Zhiqing responded a few words, and then looked at Gu Liu, who was cleaning up the table. Sixth Master! Shen Zhiqing stared at him coldly. Old Liu Tou looked at her suspiciously, and then at that Gu Liu, "Sixth Master?" Gu Liu put away the rag, straightened up, the corners of his mouth raised, this faint smile was both mysterious and gloomy, completely similar to the previous honest appearance.

"Miss Shen, she is really a smart person." He walked slowly, narrowing the corners of his eyes, the tips of his eyes slightly picking at his sideburns, his eyes revealing coldness and cunning. He sat down with his arms folded and his expression determined, still squinting at her, as if smiling and observing his prey. Shen Zhiqing was very unaccustomed to this look, and her attitude was very cold, "Sixth Master, what kind of play is it really playing?" ”

"Hahaha." Gu Liu hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed, "Miss Shen, don't you think this is interesting?" ”

She furrowed her eyebrows, a little disgruntled, "I don't find it interesting. He lowered his head and straightened his sleeves, "I heard that Shen Zuilou's wontons are particularly famous, and I also heard that the proprietress of Shen Zuilou often makes wontons for the guys and treats them." I just wanted to stay and try the handiwork of the hostess. ”

"That's it?" Lao Liu Tou interjected and asked. Gu Liu raised his head and nodded at them, "Yes, that's all for this." "After seeing his previous demeanor, and then looking at his innocent face looking at her and nodding, Shen Zhiqing definitely didn't believe that his purpose was so simple, she didn't want to mess with this person, she had to find a way to get rid of it." Sixth master, the small shops are all small businesses, we are honored to have your favor. It's just that if you stay here to help, I'm afraid it won't be suitable for you. ”

"What, this is driving people away?" Gu Liu stood up and approached Shen Zhiqing. Shen Zhiqing leaned back, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the sly gaze in his eyes approaching, and saw that he seemed to be staring at Shen Zhiqing with a smile and an eyes, and Lao Liu was already stunned beside him.

Shen Zhiqing tried her best to stabilize her breath and didn't look him in the eyes, "We don't know your identity either, if there is any misunderstanding in the future, we won't be able to hold back, so don't embarrass us." ”

Gu Liushang raised the corners of his mouth, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you." Thank you for taking care of me these days, I will be coming back often. He squinted and raised an eyebrow at her, poured out a lot of oceans on the table, turned and walked out the door quickly, "Remember to save a bowl of wontons for me next time, I'm going to eat what you made." Old Liu Tou was dumbfounded when he looked at so many oceans, Shen Zhiqing picked it up, and when he chased it out, Gu Liu had already run away.

"Who are these six masters?" Old Liu Tou looked ahead and pondered. "This person can't be provoked, it's better to stay away from him." Shen Zhiqing put away the ocean and glanced at it, wondering if Gu Liu would come again.

Lu Ting learned from Qin Manqi that the traitor Zhu Wantian said was indeed still in Xizhou, and sometimes he would come to Ledu with a group of foreign ronins for entertainment. Qin Manqi relied on the communication methods he was good at to gain the favor of the traitor, and sure enough, he was quickly fascinated by Qin Manqi, and he came to the city alone every other day. Lu Ting sat in the corner of the dance hall, watching coldly, the person and the eyeballs seemed to grow on Qin Manqi, Manqi was coquettish, half-pushed and half-pushed. After a few rounds of pushing and changing cups, under Qin's attack, the man had a bottle of foreign wine, his cheeks were red, his eyes were blurred, and he seemed to be drunk. "You're drunk, Manqi will send you back, okay?" Qin Manqi threw a few eyebrows at him, and the man squinted, smiling so much that his mouth was almost pulled to his ear, "Okay, okay, Manqi will go back with me." He quickly took her hand and walked out the door. Man Qi turned his head and glanced at Lu Ting in the corner.

Outside the door, Manqi helped the man, beckoned a rickshaw, and stuffed him into the rickshaw. The man wanted to pull Manqi into the car with him, but Manqi broke his hand and kissed him, "Bye-bye." The man turned his head and tried to get out of the car, but the rickshaw was already running, and he turned his head and shouted, "Manqi, Manqi," but his legs and feet were weak, and he no longer obeyed the call, and the man involuntarily collapsed in the saddle. "You, why are you running so fast?" The man was also unspeakable, and struggled in the saddle a few times. With the bump of the rickshaw, I still couldn't resist the drunkenness, and I fell asleep unconsciously after a while. At this time, a cold wind struck, and the man was blown awake, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a black rumbling all around, "Where is this?" He suddenly became alert, "Stop, stop." ”

The rickshaw driver stopped the car, got out of the frame, covered his face with his hat over his face, and slowly walked towards him. The man shouted badly, the wine had already woken up for the most part, and he crawled above the seat of the car to escape, but the car was unbalanced and immediately turned over. The man rolled to the ground, "Shout, help, someone is killing!" ”

The coachman immediately drew his gun and shot at him, but it was too dark in the night, and the traitor hid behind the saddle and rolled to the wall, and the bullet missed. The coachman chased after him, and the traitor ran all the way and turned into a street, and he ran and shouted all the way, and finally attracted a few people in black suits in front of him. The coachman didn't see it well, and took advantage of the moment when the man in the black suit was about to chase him, and fired a shot at the traitor, who fell to the ground. Several people in black suits followed him and shot at him one after another. The coachman turned into the square alley, saw the lights of the shop in front of him, and ran desperately over. Shen Zhiqing was about to close the door when he saw a person quickly get in and drill into the corner stairwell.

"You?" She didn't see who it was, but she heard hurried footsteps outside the door, "Where are the people?" What about people? Shen Zhiqing was startled, looked back at the person hiding in, and saw the coachman show his face, stretched out his index finger, and made a "silence" gesture at her.

"This is ......" Shen Zhiqing recognized, this is the person she saw last time under the red bean tree, and before she could be surprised, there was a crackling knock outside the door. Shen Zhiqing could only remove a few pieces of the door panel that had just been put on, and saw a few men in black suits. "Did you just see someone running over? That's about that. "The man compares his height." Ah, I was closing, and I didn't notice that there seemed to be a shadow dangling by. Shen Zhiqing pointed ahead, and those people immediately chased forward.

Shen Zhiqing quickly put the door panel back on, turned off all the lights in the store, and walked to the stairwell. Seeing Lu Ting sitting on the ground, his face was pale and his lips were pale, and she looked at him and saw that he had a gunshot wound in the right shoulder, and blood was gushing out. "This has to be rushed to the hospital for rescue." She was helping him up, but he stopped her, "No, it's a gunshot wound, and going to the hospital will expose you." Lu Ting gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, then gasped and half lay on the ground.

What to do, if the bullet is not removed to stop the bleeding, his life will be in danger. Shen Zhiqing called Lao Liu Tou and Qinghe, and the three of them carried Lu Ting to the room in the store. When this room is closed on weekday afternoons, Shen Zhiqing uses it to rest, and there is a bed in it. Everyone put Lu Tingping on the bed, and took advantage of the bright light of the room to see that the blood stains on the wound on his shoulder were getting bigger and bigger.

"What should I do? The owner, will anyone find out if he puts it here, and will he die? Old Liu Tou frowned, thinking that it was not easy to leave Gu Liu, why did there come another wounded man of unknown origin. Qinghe, bring me my acupuncture bag. Qinghe immediately took the acupuncture bag.

"I'm not steady with the needle, I'm afraid I'll get a prick. How are you? Can it stop the bleeding? Qinghe nodded, "Yes." Shen Zhiqing spread out the acupuncture bag, moved a horse lamp, and turned the light to the brightest. She and Lao Liu Tou took off Lu Ting's coachman's uniform, revealing a white shirt with a large patch of blood on the shirt. Shen Zhiqing frowned and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his neck and shoulders.

Qinghe leaned in the light, pinched the silver needle, condensed his energy, and saw that the acupuncture points were rooted one by one, and sure enough, the blood slowly stopped. But this is an expedient measure after all, if the bullet is not removed, the wound will still not heal, and Qinghe's hemostatic needle can only survive the night at most.

Old Liu Tou helped Lu Ting up and let him drink some hot water. "You have to have surgery to remove the bullet from this wound, otherwise it won't heal." Shen Zhiqing sat beside him, saw that he had regained some consciousness, and asked for his opinion. Lu Ting was still very weak, and Shen Zhiqing saw that he wanted to answer, so he could only lean into his ear and listen, "Tomorrow, you go to No. 85 Guanghe Road and ask if there is a single copy of "Pingyin County Chronicles"?" The other party will ask, is it Jiaqing or Daoguang? You said Jiaqing's. The other party asked when you wanted it, and you said that you would want it on the first day of next month. Then, you tell the other person about my situation, and someone will come and save me. ”

Shen Zhiqing silently wrote it down in his heart. She bandaged Lu Ting briefly, she was worried that the wound would be abnormal again, so she lay on the table next to her and rested for the night. The next day, according to what Lu Ting said, she found No. 85 Guanghe Road, which was a bookstore called Baoshan Study. She walked in the door and looked around to see that there were no customers, only a clerk, "May I ask if you have a single copy of "Pingyin County Chronicles" here?" The clerk looked up at her, his eyes were a little puzzled, "Is it Jiaqing's or Daoguang's?" ”

"Jiaqing's."

"When?"

"On the first day of next month." The clerk winked at her, closed the door, and told her to follow her upstairs. There was a room upstairs, and the clerk pushed open the door and said to the inside, "Sir, a female guest has come to visit." Shen Zhiqing walked in the door and saw a middle-aged man in a robe and glasses sitting, his hair combed and shiny, this person was Zhu Wantian. The man lifted his glasses and saw that it was a stranger, "Are you?" ”

Shen Zhiqing bowed slightly, "My name is Shen Zhiqing, and I am the owner of Shen Zui Building in Sifang Lane. Yesterday, there was a man in the store who was rescued by me, he was shot in the right shoulder, and his injuries were still relatively serious, and he needed immediate surgery to remove the bullet. He said let me find you and you can help him. ”

"Shot?" Zhu Wantian was taken aback, "Okay, I'll go with you immediately." He turned into the room, took out a large leather bag, and left with Shen Zhiqing.
