the innermost part of the heart

, "Do you want my heart? Give it to you. Do you want my life? Give it to you too." Then he raised it in front of Ah Chu, dripping with blood.

No, no!

On the top floor of the hotel, he raised his gun and yelled at Ah Ci who had ruined his affairs, "Ah Ci, you dare to fight with me!" Ah Ci watched him, tears streaming down little by little, blood red tears, The more it flowed, the more it quickly submerged Ah Ci in a sea of ​​blood, and he was drowned.

No, no, no!

"You do what you have to do."

"You know it well."

"300."

"Thunder strikes from the sky."

……

Another half an hour passed, Ah Chu's face turned abnormally red at first, and then turned pale. Ah Chu's body also trembled from the beginning to convulsions all over the body, and the sweat was as fast as bursting. I got wet.Yu Xiaojiang was terrified, grabbed the teacup he was going to put down before and threw it out.Originally thought that the moment the teacup was broken was the moment Ah Chu woke up.But no, Ah Chu not only did not wake up, but even showed signs of difficulty breathing.Seeing Ah Chu panting like a fish out of water but still unable to breathe, Yu Xiaojiang burst into tears and shook Ah Chu like crazy. "Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!..."

Then Ah Chu was finally shaken awake by her. Yu Xiaojiang saw that Ah Chu was coughing violently as if he was choking on the air, and when he finally passed the breath, he started to vomit frantically against the edge of the bed, full of gastric juice , Bitter water, no food at all.When he finally stopped vomiting, Ah Chu fell on the bed and began to cry in a daze.Yu Xiaojiang didn't know whether Ah Chu had woken up or not. She was at a loss, hesitated, and blamed herself, but she could only hold Ah Chu's terribly cold body in her arms and cry.In the past, she couldn't help Ah Ci, and now, she couldn't help him either!

When Ah Chu woke up, he had no idea where he was.His eyes were wide open and out of focus, and he was paralyzed on the bed like mud, both in his head and in front of his eyes, were all thick black blood.He seemed to hear someone crying, but it was far away.He couldn't even pick himself up, so how could he care about others?

It wasn't until dawn and his body gradually warmed up that Ah Chu realized that he had been in Yu Xiaojiang's arms the whole time.It should be Xiaojiang who cried before, but she has calmed down now and just hugged him.

"Xiaojiang, give me a cigarette!" Ah Chu said hoarsely.

"Are you awake?" Yu Xiaojiang said in surprise.

"Yeah." Ah Chu moved himself out of Yu Xiaojiang's arms, but still didn't have the strength to get up.

"Is there anything uncomfortable?" Yu Xiaojiang looked Ah Chu up and down.

Ah Chu shook his head and looked in the direction of the cigarette case.

Yu Xiaojiang followed Ah Chu's gaze, gritted his teeth, went down to fetch the cigarette without saying anything, stuffed one into Ah Chu's mouth, and then lit it three times with the lighter.

Ah Chu caught fire and took a deep breath of cigarettes, then gently held Yu Xiaojiang's warm but trembling hand beside the bed, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yu Xiaojiang shook his head, but accidentally let out tears again.

That day, not only Ah Chu, but even Yu Xiaojiang didn't have much energy. They didn't eat breakfast and stayed in bed until the sun was high.At noon, Xiaojiang cooked porridge, but Ah Chu still couldn't get up, and ate lunch in bed.The room has been very quiet, both of them are silent, it's not that it's hard to face anything, it's just that they feel tired simply because they have been tossing around all night.In the afternoon, before going out, Xiaojiang finally said, "Don't use that hypnosis anymore?"

"Okay." Ah Chu was still sleepy, his voice was hoarse, but his tone was very sure.

Yu Xiaojiang nodded and went out.Although she was also worried that Ah Chu was alone at home, she still had to do what she had to do. The only thing she could do was to come back early.

Yu Xiaojiang thought that Ah Chu should still be lying on the bed when she came back, but in fact, when she entered the door, she saw the back of Ah Chu working at his desk.

"Are you back? Come here and take a look at this." Ah Chu turned around and greeted her, telling her to hurry over.

With just one glance, Yu Xiaojiang could tell the difference. Ah Chu cleaned himself up again, and the little stubble that appeared in the morning disappeared.I can't explain why, Xiaojiang always has a feeling of disobedience. She should be happy when Ah Chu cheers her up, but for some reason, she just feels weird.

Although he had doubts in his heart, Yu Xiaojiang approached Ah Chu as if nothing had happened. "What's wrong?"

"I'm translating the telegram I just received, and it's only one sentence away." Pointing to Yu Xiaojiang the previously translated text, Ah Chu went on with the unfinished work.

"The deployment of the first stage has been completed, and the higher-ups have all groups of personnel ready to start the second stage of battle." After Ah Chu finished translating, Yu Xiaojiang murmured to the telegram.

"What's the second stage?" Ah Chu looked at Yu Xiaojiang, his tone was flat, but his eyes radiated fiery light.

Yu Xiaojiang felt a pain in his heart, as if seeing the real Yang Muchi again, those eyes were so calm, self-controlled but warm, since when did Ah Ci's eyes become dim?She can't remember.But she clearly remembered the morning when Ah Ci said goodbye to her, Ah Ci's eyes were full of eager despair.At that time, she thought that he was in a hurry to save people, but now, she gradually understood that Ah Ci was going to die, otherwise why he refused to wake up until now?

"Xiaojiang?" Ah Chu frowned slightly, looking worriedly at the person in front of him who was in a trance.

Yu Xiaojiang took a deep breath, restrained his mind, and said word by word, "The second stage is that Rongchu will return to Shanghai's financial circles and start to contact the Japanese." After she finished speaking, she saw Achu's pupils tightened suddenly. "Are you ready?" Yu Xiaojiang asked cautiously.

Suddenly, a bright smile that could almost burn people's eyes bloomed on Ah Chu's face, it was a smile exclusive to Rong Chu. "Anytime." Ah Chu said, using Rong Chu's unique frivolous tone.

But Yu Xiaojiang felt a sharp pain in his heart.Although that smile was bright, it was just too bright, making her instantly think of fireworks, epiphyllum, or even shooting stars.

"Get ready for the next few days, I think it's time for us to move."

"Where are you moving?" Ah Chu put away that smile, and instantly returned to Yang Muchi's expression, asking solemnly.

The feeling of disobedience came back again, this time Yu Xiaojiang found some problems.Ah Chu's role swap was too fast, so fast that she was not used to it.But she just paused for a moment, then said softly, "No. 28, Pine Snow Street."

Hearing Yu Xiaojiang's soft sigh-like voice, Ah Chu frowned slightly.Yes, where else could it be?But he just responded, "Got it."

Part 4

It was only two days of silence in the attic of No. 32 Xiaoshitou Hutong, and then the ping-pong-pong started again.Neighbors sometimes chatted in private, some said with certainty that the male owner was not in good health and had already coughed up blood, fearing that it might not be some kind of infectious disease; Even the pawnshops are less frequented... No matter what it is, everyone has always agreed on one thing, that is, the original peace will be regained immediately, no matter whether it is the man who returns to the west soon or the woman who dies early. Remarried, anyway, they all hope that this family will leave quickly.As a result, the neighbors stayed farther away from this family. If they could not be provoked, they would not be provoked, and if they could have less contact, they would have less contact.

In the attic, the door was locked, and the curtains in front of the door and on the windows were drawn tightly.In the dark room, Yu Xiaojiang kicked away the chair with the straw target tied in front of her again. Ah Chu, who had his hands dangling beside her, quickly drew his gun, turned around, and shot in one go, but the bullet didn't hit the red heart, and it just didn't hit the target. Just off target.

"Come again." Ah Chu put away the gun angrily.

"It's already pretty good." Yu Xiaojiang went to pick up the overturned chair.

Ah Chu didn't say anything, just turned around and closed his eyes.

Yu Xiaojiang sighed silently, kicked the chair again and slid in different directions...

In the past, Yu Xiaojiang would have been very happy to have such a motivated student, but now, she would rather Ah Chu not be so strict with herself.

Before leaving the house in the afternoon, Xiaojiang told Ah Chu that she would go to Songxue Street to see the surrounding situation, and she was going to sneak in to see if anyone had broken in or ambushed. She asked him if there was any What needs her to take back in advance, after all, they have to prepare for their return.

Ah Chu shook his head.

"Or some personal item, it doesn't have to be related to the task, anyway, I just pass it along." How much Xiaojiang hoped that Ah Chu would say yes.She didn't know how she was feeling, maybe she just hoped that Ah Chu could feel a little bit like a living person.

But Ah Chu thought about it, and still shook his head.

Yu Xiaojiang had no choice but to walk away with his eyes downcast.

Walking downstairs, she suddenly remembered that there was one more thing she had to do to return to Rongchu's identity, and that was to find Liu Ahsi back.After all, although this person has nothing to do with Yang Muchi, he is already one of Rongchu's symbols. He used to take him with him wherever he went, even when he was in love.Of course, if Liu Ah Si couldn't be found, he would have to make up a proper reason, but in fact, Liu Ah Si was in Chunhe Hospital, and they could bring him back at any time.However, how to arrange people back still needs to be discussed further.Without further ado, she'd better go to Chunhe Hospital in the afternoon.And since he was going to Chunhe Hospital to look for Ah Si, Xiao Jiang wanted to simply ask Ah Chu if he had anything he wanted to bring to Ah Si. After all, the two of them had worked together for a long time and had a good understanding
