The days of peace were broken one night.

Heavy breathing, thick bloody gas filled the room, Avis turned pale face, covered his right arm and wounded almost three inches, the whole flesh turned out, and the wound of the bone could almost be seen. He hunched over the wall near the window, listening intently to the movement outside—the footsteps of the troops in uniform boots—and at this moment, the ghetto was too quiet.

An Ning silently pulled out the rudimentary medicine box from under the bed—this existed before she lived here. Obviously, this is what Noah prepared for these two friends.

When bandaging, Avis, who is usually unruly and fearless, also gritted his teeth and gasped all the time.

She glanced at him faintly, but the bandage in her hand tightened suddenly. For a moment, Ives couldn't even bother with the pain, and glared at her vigorously, as if trying to make the other party see in his own eyes that he was full of anger and condemnation of this rude behavior.

—and yet she only turned around and went back to her business, causing him to be amused.

With a creak, the door gently pushed open.

It's Noah.

She hurriedly greeted him, examined it with her eyes, and looked carefully at Frank, who was following closely behind. Compared to Avis, Frank didn't have any serious injuries other than his messy clothes and a few minor injuries on his face.

The door closed quickly.

The sheriffs patrolling the streets and the army of the Governor's Palace, who were besieged throughout the city, would not find that the man they were looking for was in the slums that they were hurrying through.

"Frank, you're amazing!" Looking at the little fat man, An Ning didn't hesitate to praise at all, and glanced obliquely somewhere as he spoke, "It's much better than some fighting scraps." ”

The danger was gone for the time being, and Avis couldn't help but stiffen, "I didn't know there would be an ambush in the Governor's Palace—" he said, and he cursed rudely, "Someone must have sold us here, damn it, I'll just say that this plan can't be notified in advance." ”

She snorted, too lazy to listen to Avis's babbling, but the sound visibly stopped him, and he didn't speak again—he hadn't forgotten why Ann was angry.

Thinking of this, he looked at Noah, who was sitting at the table, as if he was pleading for help.

Noah glanced at the girl and curled her eyes gently.

"So what's next, what are you going to do? Know the plan to assassinate the Governor - you have failed. Speaking of this, An Ning Ning was not angry, there were so many people in the city, but the gangsters and beggars in the most inconspicuous slums joined forces, ready to kill the governor by forceful means, and then took advantage of the war everywhere in the country, and there was no one to govern it for the time being, and accept this right.

- They must be too bold and confident.

Frank was already gobbling down bread, and he was always hungry after a fight. Ivis grinned and checked the injury, and after a moment's pause, he said lightly, "Frank and I are going to go later—the plan didn't fail." The Governor must have thought it was over, but he didn't know that we still had people hiding in the underground cellars of the Governor's Palace, and that they were all over there. ”

She pursed her lips, ignoring him, and looked directly at Frank—but the little fat man looked up and smirked at her, as if he didn't care at all that he was going to enter the Doge's Palace.

She was very angry, because of the feeling that things were always going wrong in her heart, and because of their attitude of not valuing life. Her eyes were cold, and her tone was very cold, "It's hard to pick up your life, and you're going to die in vain, you can go as long as you go, but next time, don't let Noah, who can't fight at all, smuggle you back from such a dangerous place!" ”

As the night ticked by, the three of them sat quietly at the table, except for Frank, Aavies, and Noah had the occasional brief exchange. An Ning simply ran to the back of the house out of sight and out of mind to squat to boil hot water - this place was simple, and they could only use this to temporarily disinfect it.

A group of people really doesn't have a long memory.

She grimaced, and suddenly remembered the first time she was in this world, when the damn gangster didn't grasp the situation at all, and kicked herself in the stomach in the garbage heap - she felt a faint ache in retrospect.

Is that kind of person really reliable?

Click.

The wooden branch in her hand was broken by her, and she looked at the fire with a blank face, and threw it all in.

"Ann, the hot water is enough, no need to boil it anymore."

"And, they're gone."

"Oh." The girl replied coldly.

Noah sighed softly, bent down, and took her hand. The firelight simmered her hands hot, and the young man's hands were cold, which strangely made her and the fire in her heart disappear a lot.

"Annie." He looked at her, the flames jumping beside him reflected the palpable warmth of his usually gentle blue eyes.

"Don't worry, Annie." The corners of his mouth curled slightly, "My swordsmanship is not bad." ”

……

The day is approaching, and there is already a faint line of Phnom Penh on the edge of the sky in the distance.

After staying up in the house all night, the two of them who had not slept looked out of the window like this, and Noah's expression became more and more solemn.

"It's not going to be good, they're — it's possible to be exposed."

"What then? Are we going to save them? Although complaining was complaining before, but when it came to the real moment, she was also worried about them.

"No, we don't have to go. Frank's force is quite good, and Avis has a lot of small ideas, so the two of them have no problem escaping from the Doge's Palace. "We might have to pack up our things now and wait for them at the beach." ”

"Pack up?"

"Well, I can't live here."

As he spoke, he remembered something again, took out the only remaining coins from his arms, which were not much, divided a part, and put them in An Ningning's palm.

"This—and I want to trouble you to give them to Mrs. Ida at the mouth of the alley, and we're afraid we won't be able to help them anymore."

She frowned imperceptibly, lowered her head and looked at her palm, and only after a while, did she say.

"Okay."

"Well, then I'll wait for you here." He touched her head, his eyes as gentle as ever.

……

It's already this point in time, but she hasn't seen even one of the beggars in the slums who got up first to look for business on the street—it seems that the sudden inspection and riot of the army last night made people cautious.

And.

She glanced in the direction of the center of the city, and the bell that should have been ringing had not been ringing until now. It was so quiet and eerie that she was sure that almost all the people in the city would not dare to act rashly when they smelled the unusual wind.
