Chapter 3: Soul Change
Before the two of them realized what was going to happen, they heard a sound similar to splashing water, Du Qilin and Meng Qian hurriedly got up and ran to the gate, and when they saw the yellow liquid flowing from the cracks in the ground, both of them were stunned, and a thought appeared in the minds of the two people at the same time: it's over.
When he smelled the smoke, Du Qilin took a step back, returned to the box just now and sat down, and said to Meng Qian, who was still standing there, "I know how they found it." ”
Meng Qian turned around in surprise: "What time is it now, are you still thinking about these things?" We should think about how to get out! It's all your crow's mouth! ”
"Yes, I'm a typical good man who doesn't speak bad." Du Qilin said apologetically: "I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to die with me, it's all because of me." ”
"Perhaps, there will be a turnaround..."Meng Qian said without confidence, he took a few steps back in frustration and sat down: "If I knew this, it would be better to fight with them, then there is still a possibility of winning." ”
"Indeed, it's a bit embarrassing to die here, and I guess tomorrow's headlines will only be two people burned to death in a private warehouse."
“……”
"Hey, it's all this time, aren't you going to tell me what your name is?" Meng Qian felt that the atmosphere was a little stuffy, and said quite seriously: "When the time comes, if I meet Lord Yama, Lord Yama asks me how you died, and I say that I died to save people, but I can't say who I am trying to save, Lord Yama should scold me for being a fool, right?" ”
Du Qilin chuckled and said, "Lord Yama is too lazy to take care of you. ”
"So what? Are you sure you won't tell you what your name is when you die? ”
"My name is Du Qilin." Du Qilin thought about it, he was indeed dying, so there were not so many taboos, after all, the other party had to die with him in order to save him.
When Meng Qian first heard this name, he instantly felt that this person who looked like a little young master was really a little young master, and his name was Qilin, but when the name Du Qilin turned back and forth in his mind for five seconds, Meng Qian said with a dull face: "No, is this your name the same or myself?" ”
Du Qilin: "Personally." ”
"I..."Meng Qian muttered: "Then it's no wonder that I have to be hunted down by so many people, I knew that I wouldn't save you, isn't this obviously looking for trouble for myself..."
"What did you say?" Du Qilin obviously heard Meng Qian say something strange, and he must have muttered something later.
But Meng Qian shook his head vigorously and retorted: "No, I was just thinking, why did you come back?" Aren't you in the West? ”
"I'll be back after I finish studying."
Time passed minute by minute, the person at the door seemed to leave as if he had completed the task, and the thick smoke gradually approached the warehouse from the side of the door, at first the two of them could still say a word, and after a while, Du Qilin's breathing began to be chaotic, Meng Qian hurriedly shook his hand and talked to him: "Don't you still want to tell me, say, say how they found it?" ”
The smoke had already shrouded Du Qilin and Meng Qian, and the consciousness of the two of them began to slowly disappear, only supported by a breath, Du Qilin gasped a few times and said, "You... With... It's pepper... Powder, they... Brought... A dog... Chasing... I hear... The dog barked..."
The smoke became heavier and heavier, Du Qilin couldn't hold on and passed out, Meng Qian wanted to continue to wake Du Qilin, but when he touched him, he couldn't resist the thick smoke after all, and fainted.
……
Meng Qian thought that he should be dead, in order to save a person he didn't know, by the way, that person seemed to be called Du Qilin, the son of Du Huancheng, the future warlord of Shanghai Tang, and the current Du Shaoshuai.
It's a pity, if the two of them are still alive, they may become friends of life and death, although the positions and positions are different, but Meng Qian always feels that Du Qilin is not a person who values identity, how good it would be to be friends with each other, if it was just to be friends with each other, instead of becoming each other, how good it would be...
Meng Qian sat on the hospital bed, his hands were pierced and he couldn't move, in addition to some doctors and nurses in white coats, there were men in military uniforms coming in and out of his ward from time to time, although he didn't know their faces, but Meng Qian could strangely call out their names. They called him "young marshal", and every time he did, Meng Qian picked up the mirror on the bedside table and looked at his completely different face—not unfamiliar, he had seen it countless times when he was in the warehouse that day.
Three days, three days after Meng Qian woke up, he still couldn't accept the reality that he had become Du Qilin, he didn't even dare to open his mouth to speak, for fear that he would be found out if he said something wrong.
"Young marshal, you are talking to me, you are always silent like this, I feel scared when I look at it!" Adjutant Kang came almost three times a day, but Du Qilin sat on the bed stupidly, looking confusing.
Adjutant Kang asked the doctor, and the doctor said that it might be that the smoke entered the nose and mouth too much, causing the young marshal to be unable to react for a while, and it would be fine in two days.
Meng Qian, no, Du Qilin has been accepting the situation that he has become Du Qilin for the past three days, and he has been touching Meng Qian's situation over there, but there are guards standing at the door, and he really can't go out, and after three days, he doesn't even know whether the other party is dead or alive.
Adjutant Kang thought that he would die without a problem today, so he planned to leave.
"Adjutant Kang, is the man who fell in the warehouse with me still alive?"
"Young marshal, you finally spoke!" Adjutant Kang was pleasantly surprised: "You finally woke up, how are you doing?" Are you uncomfortable? ”
"You answer my question first."
Adjutant Kang smiled and called the doctor first, then turned to Du Qilin and said, "The person you said is named Meng Qian, right?" ”
Du Qilin nodded.
"That day, I got the news of the patrol room, and immediately rushed to the scene, at that time, the entire outside of the warehouse was burned to the ground, and you and Meng Qian were taken to the nearest hospital in the French Concession by the people from the patrol room." Adjutant Kang seriously explained the situation to Du Qilin that day: "When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor told me that you were out of danger, but that Mr. Meng was a little more serious than you, but half an hour later, the doctor also told him that his life was not in danger. Later, you were transferred here, Mr. Meng still stayed there, he woke up at about the same time as you, I knew that you must be worried about the other party, and sent someone to look for him, but he had already been discharged from the hospital and could not find him as a person. ”
"He's gone?" Du Qilin was surprised.
Adjutant Kang nodded: "I went to check on his situation, he is the inspector of the patrol of Xiaodongmen, but as far as I know, he quit his job yesterday and moved out of his original residence, and the whole person disappeared out of thin air." I guess I was scared of what happened that night, so I decided to find a place to hide first. ”
Afraid? Du Qilin wanted to spurt out a mouthful of blood, but Meng Qian, who had Du Qilin's soul, actually abandoned him and ran away? Doesn't his conscience hurt?
Seeing that Du Qilin's mood was not right, Adjutant Kang hurriedly said, "Young Marshal, are you okay?" ”
"......" Du Qilin didn't want to care about anything, and went directly into the quilt as a turtle king, cursing Meng Qian for stepping on dog shit while walking on the road.
Adjutant Kang saw that Du Qilin didn't seem to be fully awake, and he didn't plan to ask him what happened, just when the doctor pushed the door in, Adjutant Kang and the doctor lifted the quilt that Du Qilin was holding on to, and helped him check his body.
"Don't worry, the young marshal is fine, and he will be discharged from the hospital in two days."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
As soon as the doctor left, Du Qilin put the quilt on his head again, and Adjutant Kang saw him like this, so he had to say to Du Qilin: "In the past few days, because of the young marshal's affairs, the big marshal has been very busy, so I don't have time to see the young marshal for the time being." Several aunts and wives in the family were also stopped by the marshal and did not let them come to see you, but the marshal told me this morning that he would come to see you in person tomorrow morning, if there is nothing to do, I will retreat first, and the young marshal will have a good rest. ”
Meng Qian did run away, and when he found out that he was no longer Du Qilin, he ran away. He hesitated for two seconds, but was replaced by the surprise of being a stranger, not only did he quickly quit his job in the patrol house and quit the house he had been renting, but he also planned to buy a ticket to leave Shanghai immediately.
But when he took out the money, he found that Meng Qian didn't even have the money for a ferry ticket, he looked at the few Yuan big heads in his hands, and felt that his head was also big.
"It seems that I can only find a place to make enough money before leaving..."Meng Qian muttered to himself.
Although he is really sorry for Du Qilin who suffered for him over there, but people's hearts are selfish, and he finally has such an opportunity, and he wants to really live for himself.
Du Qilin really didn't expect the other party to be such a conscienceless person, not only did he know that he was suffering here alone, but he even ran away happily, Du Qilin secretly swore that he would not let him find it, otherwise he would have to pay the price.
Du Qilin, who had accepted the reality, began to worry about himself, although he had not seen Du Huancheng, but when he heard about it, he also knew that this person was very dangerous, with both means and strategies, otherwise how could he take Shanghai for himself in just one year.
With such a character, how can Du Qilin ensure that his identity will not be recognized in an instant when he speaks? What kind of situation will you be in after you recognize your identity? Du Qilin felt a chill in his back when he thought about it.
However, now it's too late to escape, so I can only take one step at a time...
"Ahh Du Qilin lifted the quilt covering his head, and threw the quilt pillow on the bed to the ground as if he was angry, this sound shocked the people guarding the door, you push me, I push yours, and finally pushed the nurse who had been taking care of Du Qilin in.
The nurse didn't think Du Qilin was very scary, she had taken care of Du Qilin's daily life for the past few days, although she didn't know how to speak, but fortunately, her eyes were not scary, at least they were much better than those soldiers standing at the door.
She picked up the bedding and pillows on the ground, put them in the basin on the side, skillfully took out new bedding and pillows from the cabinet in the ward and put them on the bed, and carefully made the bed for Du Qilin.
