Forty-three (4)
Shen Qiangrose had never seen him like this, like a desperate person trying his best to save someone like him, but no matter what way it was, it was not enough to make the other party empathize, so he could only use this cold and terrifying tone to make the other party understand.
She could decipher almost all the emotions that had accumulated when he said this. Tears fell, tears blurred eyes looked at him, there were too many words in her throat, but she didn't know how to say it, at this moment she almost hated herself, why did she understand him like this. The hatred that no one feels is groundless, just like Qiao Yunhua, who lives in the shadows as an illegitimate child and can't get out.
Su Shengbai did not recognize him, and the brothers of the Su family also regarded him as an outlier. In addition to using sarcasm, it is almost impossible to feel warmth. Originally, he was a proud son of the sky, but this tainted identity completely crushed him, and he has been burdened with shackles that are too heavy to bear for a long time, why would such a person not hate?
Shen Qiangrose understood him, but as a person who understood him, at this moment, it was more heartache, because she felt helpless, watching him step by step towards the abyss, but she couldn't do anything.
The cold blue lightning cast light and shadow on the car window, and it was fleeting. The thunder outside the window roared, as if it was slashing in the ears, making people tremble instinctively.
Her tears fell silently, Qiao Yunhua saw it in her eyes, and suddenly let go of her, it was already raining heavily, like beans slapping the window, turning her eyes to see, like a string of beaded curtains in summer, densely turned, and like a net woven of silver threads, lightly winding around, bringing up the chill of the whole late autumn, and the cold made people shiver.
The two of them knew each other tacitly and never said a word again. In the rainy night, the car was very slow, bumping all the way, looking through the window, it was also a blurry scene, and I don't know how long it took, and the car finally drove to the dock.
The sound of artillery fire became more and more intense and intensive, almost uninterrupted, and the sound of gunfire in the sky was like a burst, even if it rained like a waterfall, it could not cover the smoke of gunpowder, the night was already very dark, and the thick smoke was rolling in the sky, like dense black clouds, slowly surging over.
The wharf is still noisy, because of the scorching war, all the fleeing people gathered here, and the roaring artillery fire, the sound of crying abounds, the car drove directly all the way in, and saw clothes and cages and the like sprinkled all the way, as if there were thousands of people crowded on the wharf, hurrying, running for their lives under the fire.
Shen Qiangrose watched this scene, and her heart was even heavier. The car didn't stop until it reached the outside of the bar, and the driver turned around and said, "Mr. Qiao, are we waiting here?" ”
Qiao Yunhua looked outside, the night was too dark, even if foreign oil lamps were temporarily added everywhere, the flow of people was too dense and he couldn't see anything clearly. The Fuling garrison set up a sentry post at the intersection to conduct a strict investigation, and the guards guarding it were waiting with long guns, and the crowd and cars were all crowded in front, waiting one by one to be interrogated, and even cars were not allowed to enter.
Inside, sailors from various countries are guarding, and the investigation is very strict. The sound of artillery fire mixed with lightning and thunder at that end had almost resounded in the sky, and the rain curtains were intertwined in front of him, among which there were also people hurrying past from the window, Qiao Yunhua frowned slightly, and asked, "Where are their people distributed?" ”
The driver replied cautiously, "I don't know, I guess there are both the dock and the ship." ”
Qiao Yunhua pondered for a moment before saying, "There is still a period of time before the boat opens, so wait a little longer." The driver glanced outside and said, "Mr. Qiao, let's take advantage of the chaos to send Miss Shen on the boat, once the chaos starts, it will be difficult to leave." ”
Qiao Yunhua's face was a little solemn, but he didn't speak.
Shen Qiangrose listened to the few words in their words, and couldn't help but feel anxious in her heart, but she couldn't guess Qiao Yunhua's intentions more and more, thinking wildly, she happened to meet his gaze, and her eyes were covered with a little bit of brilliance by the chaotic light outside the window, like a pool of water that was about to dry up, and a layer of empty streamer appeared.
He quickly glanced away and turned to look out the window, looking incomprehensibly. Seeing the people in front of him entering one after another, the driver opened his mouth and urged: "Mr. Qiao, the time is almost up." ”
Qiao Yunhua frowned, looked at his watch, and after a moment of hesitation, he still said, "It's still too late, wait a little longer." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard someone knocking on the car window, and even looking inside, Qiao Yunhua instinctively pulled Shen Qiangrose into her arms, covered her cheeks with her hands, glanced at the driver, and the driver immediately nodded, pushed the door and got out of the car.
Shen Qiangrose nestled in his arms and didn't dare to move, but his eyes kept staring outside, and in the night, he vaguely saw the driver take the man to the other side of the car, and said something in a low voice, the figures of the two were a little blurry in the dark, but soon, I saw the man lying on the driver's shoulder.
The driver opened the car door neatly, first put the man on the co-pilot, then looked around vigilantly, and then walked back to the car and said, "Mr. Qiao, you can't wait any longer, you must act immediately!" After a long time, it will arouse suspicion. ”
Shen Qiangrose looked at the co-pilot and saw that the man's eyes were closed, as if he didn't know what was going on. Qiao Yunhua let go of her, and seeing that her face was full of surprise, he said word by word: "Listen, the overseers of Fuling have been bought by the Gu family, and once the expatriates withdraw, Fuling will be captured by the Gu army!" Now there are their people everywhere here, and as long as you show your face, you will become a handle for them to threaten Su Huiyi, so from now on, you must listen to me. ”
As he spoke, he glanced out again, the rain curtain was mixed, and the crowd was still congested towards the iron fence, and even the sentry in front of him was almost unable to see clearly, so he sorted out his thoughts before he continued: "Zhang Keming, the overseer of the current garrison in Fuling, has not dispatched the nearest army at all, if it weren't for the fact that the chief of staff under his command is Su Huiyi's henchman, this battle would not have been fought at all!" The sound of artillery fire you hear now is just a game for the higher-ups! ”
Shen Qiangrose looked at him in disbelief, and said slowly: "But you told Chen Muyang yesterday that the nearest army of the Soviet army will soon arrive......" Her voice gradually lowered, and she already understood in her heart that it was Qiao Yunhua's excuse to save herself.
Suddenly thinking of Su Huiyi, she asked again: "Then what did you and Chen Muyang say, what happened to the design of Su Huiyi?" ”
When she mentioned Su Huiyi's name, Qiao Yunhua laughed mockingly and said coldly, "Who knows? Maybe I'm really going to make a game and kill him. ”
He seemed to be a little tired, and didn't want to talk about it anymore, his eyes were fixed on the rain curtain like silver needles outside, and he said lightly: "Fortunately, Chen Muyang still has a little kindness to you, and privately told me that Gu Shuai and Zhang Keming set up a game here, in order to catch you, if he hadn't found you one step in advance, now you are a fish on the chopping board, and you are slaughtered." ”
He stroked the corners of his forehead, and said a little tiredly: "Now I can only fight, see if Su Huiyi can come over in time." He turned his eyes to look at her, and saw that her face was full of stunned looks, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked very pitiful.
He sighed inaudibly, "Sometimes I really think you're a *annoyance." ”
Where would Shen Qiangrose have thought that there are so many conspiracies and tricks in this, as if if one of them is not careful, they will fall into the abyss. At this time, many questions flashed in my heart, and I asked, "Why do we still come here when they are all their people?" ”
Qiao Yunhua glanced at her silently when she heard this, her eyes were unwavering, the corners of her mouth hooked an arc, and she said with a smile: "Because the domestic war has broken out in full swing, the steamers of various countries evacuating the expatriates will all leave tomorrow morning at the latest!" The next time will be two months later, or even longer. ”
He paused, a little serious, "So you have to get on board tonight." ”
Shen Qiangrose looked away a little flustered, only to feel that her cheeks were a little hot, she was a smart person, many things only need to be mentioned a little, she can figure it out, at this time she already knew that all these things Qiao Yunhua did were to save her.
And she actually slapped him in anger, and then she only felt her face rise hot, and whispered, "Thank you." ”
Looking outside through the window, I saw the congested crowd gradually moving forward, some people holding umbrellas in the rain curtain, some people drenching in the rain, but almost all of them were solemn.
Qiao Yunhua lowered his eyes and was silent, took out a special pass and a ferry ticket from his pocket and handed it to her, and said, "Wait a minute, our people will make trouble, you take advantage of the chaos to escape in, be sure to hand over the pass to the foreign crew inside, do you understand?" There are our people on board, and when you get on board, you go straight to room 06 in second class and they will protect you. ”
He paused, with a look of unease on his face, and said, "Now the ship is full of Zhang Keming's people, you must be 10,000 careful, you know?" But don't be too afraid, they'll all go down before the ship leaves. ”
Shen Qiangrose looked at him in a daze, only to feel like a numb heart, his eyes paused slightly on her face, and then ordered the driver to start acting, the driver quickly got out of the car, he glanced out again, as if he smiled bitterly, "It's too late to wait for Su Huiyi." ”
After that, he took out a handkerchief from his arms, which seemed to be wrapped in something, and handed it to Shen Qiangrose casually, his voice was calm, "This is for you, I have always felt that leaving things that don't belong to me is really not in line with my character, and it is better to return things to their original owners." ”
Shen Qiang rose took it in the clouds, and was about to open it to see, but saw him open the car door, and then heard a dense gunfire from the other end, he pulled her out, the rain curtain was like a waterfall, messily covering the eyes, and I went to see the sentry posts at the intersection running in the direction of the gunshots.
At this moment, the crowd was hula and poured up, Qiao Yunhua grabbed Shen Qiangrose's hand tightly, and followed the flow of people to the end of the iron fence, people were like frightened birds, just hate to fly in with their wings, and crowded each other desperately.
The rain was too strong, and the cold poured on the body, wanting to make people's bodies numb, Shen Qiangrose took a breath and suppressed all the discomfort, just wanting to escape from here quickly.
It wasn't until she squeezed into the iron fence that she saw the foreign crew in front of her, she was pushed to the front by Qiao Yunhua, at this time the crew was maintaining order in Spanish, she hurriedly handed over the pass in her hand, and the crew took a look at it and let it go.
Shen Qiangrose originally wanted to look back at Qiao Yunhua again, but she didn't know who pushed her, and when she stood firm and turned back, she only saw a dense group of people like fish, and Qiao Yunhua's figure had long been missing.
