a row of egrets

The hospital where Xiao Yibai and the others are helping is located in the southern part of Mogadishu city. Compared with the northern part where the gangs are at war, this place looks more peaceful.

This place is not just full of pirates, wars, poverty, and terrorist attacks as imagined. On the contrary, it is here that Xiao Yibai witnesses the rare amorous feelings in the prosperous cities in China. Sandy beaches, clean sea water.

In the ruins of the city that was shattered by the attack, there are many people who are struggling to survive.

The hospital is not big, and the shortage of medical resources can be seen from the number of doctors. The first thing everyone does after arriving at the hospital is not to start receiving patients, but to learn how to use a gun.

As an orthopedic surgeon, Xiao Yibai hardly took much effort to hold the rifle, but he still felt that the gun was heavy, and he didn't know who the first bullet would hit.

At that moment, Xiao Yibai retreated in his heart, he knew what kind of dangerous year he was about to face.

Judging from the dilapidated planes during the transfer, the countless gunmen seen along the way, the frequent gunshots, and the bodyguards with guns in the hospital, it can be seen that even if it is relatively peaceful here, it is only compared to places in war. , compared with China, this place is still a hell on earth.

Xiao Yibai had no time to be afraid or hesitant. Doctors were short-staffed, and they had to deal with many patients every day, some of which were infectious diseases of malaria and tuberculosis, and some were wounded by gunshot wounds.Under the local high temperature, Xiao Yibai and the others wore bulletproof vests in their white coats, pistols on their waists, and large guns within easy reach. As long as they heard gunshots approaching, they all moved to the basement. Stay in the stuffy space until the gunshots fade away.

The hardships in life and work are actually not the biggest challenge for Xiao Yibai. Although he lived in a good environment since he was a child, because he lived alone too early, he is very independent and adaptable.In addition, his personality is originally calm, so the harsh environment will not affect his state of mind too much.

The only thing that can affect him, apart from missing Lu Zhan, is the psychological stimulation brought by the cruel reality.

Xiao Yibai was almost numb in the day-to-day treatment of those appalling patients, and could only start the operation and bandage calmly. What really touched him was the slaughter of people's hearts by war.

One afternoon, a thin black child appeared at the entrance of the hospital. At that time, Xiao Yibai was returning from outside in a medical car with several other doctors, and there were several patients in the car.

Xiao Yibai got off the car at the door, he walked over to pick up the child, and asked him in English: "What's wrong with you?"

The child didn't seem to understand, just clutching his stomach, frowning tightly, and within two seconds, he turned around and spit out a puddle of liquid.

Xiao Yibai touched his forehead, and found that he didn't have a fever, it must be a bad stomach or a stomach problem.He was about to pick up the child and take him to the hospital. Seeing that Xiao Yibai hadn't come back, a bodyguard came out to look for him. Seeing Xiao Yibai supporting a child, the bodyguard almost immediately took two steps and walked over to the child with one kick. Kicked to the ground.

"What are you doing?!" Xiao Yibai was rarely so emotional, he turned around and saw the child lying on the ground moaning while clutching his stomach, he could hardly bear it anymore.

"Patients who enter the hospital must be checked. You will cause trouble if you do this." The bodyguard answered him in English with a blank expression.

Regardless of Xiao Yibai's reaction, he pointed the black muzzle of the gun at the child, and said to him in dialect: "Undo the bag around your waist."

The child lay on the ground writhing in pain, spitting out mouthfuls of liquid, and the bodyguard pulled the sleeve to load the bullet and aimed it at him.

Xiao Yibai blocked it almost subconsciously, looking at the bodyguard: "There is no reason for you to do this."

"Death will not reason with you, sir." The bodyguard looked at him almost coldly, "Please step aside, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. Xiao Yibai's heart trembled, and he was about to turn around to look, but the bodyguard stretched out his hand and pulled him away. There were several deafening gunshots.

Xiao Yibai's heart had never beat so fast before, when he turned his head, he only saw a pile of fuzzy flesh and blood on the ground, as well as a grenade and a small pistol.

The bodyguard covered the wound on his side, and turned to look at Xiao Yibai: "Do you understand, in war, everyone is death, even children."

Xiao Yibai breathed hurriedly under the scorching sun, the smell of blood in the air was intertwined with the scorching temperature, sweat blurred his vision, his stomach churned, and he bent down and vomited.

The bodyguard's waist was scratched by the bullet fired by the child, Xiao Yibai lowered his head to bandage him, and the two of them remained silent without speaking.

He has been here for more than three months. When he usually goes out for treatment, half of the bodyguards in the hospital will accompany them to escort them all the way, but Xiao Yibai rarely communicates with them. He is cruel and unkind. On the one hand, the atmosphere is very tense every day. He is really not in the mood to chat, and he himself doesn't like chatting.

"What's your name?" Xiao Yibai asked him.

"Carl."

Carl should be of mixed race. His appearance is not like that of a pure-bred black man, but rather has the three-dimensionality and delicacy of a Caucasian. If you look carefully, you will find that his eyes are tea-brown.

"My mother is British." Carl probably felt Xiao Yibai's gaze, and explained lightly.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have looked at you like this." Xiao Yibai wrapped the bandage for him, "You don't have to go out with us recently, you can just stay in the hospital as a guard, your injury is not suitable for going out."

"I was shot in the shoulder with two bullets, and I fought against the enemy on the battlefield for three days." Carl's voice was low and hoarse, "This small injury has no effect on me."

Xiao Yibai did not speak. He has lived in a peaceful environment for more than 20 years. The cruelty and tragedy here are beyond his imagination. He feels that he is not qualified to judge and question them.

"We are sent by the embassy to protect you." Carl looked at Xiao Yibai who was packing up the utensils, and said suddenly, "So you have to cooperate with us, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble."

Xiao Yibai nodded: "I see, thank you."

Lu Zhan met a man named Qiu Tong in the United States, who was also a rich second generation who was kicked out to take over the business.The first time I saw Qiu Tong was at a reception. Lu Zhan walked to the terrace to breathe. After taking a sip of wine, he found a person standing on the other side of the terrace.

The man was talking on the phone, taking a sip of wine, and there was a faintly lit light beside him. When the night wind blew, Lu Zhan suddenly saw Xiao Yibai in the bar for the first time. scene.

Probably feeling Lu Zhan's gaze, the man turned his head. Surprisingly, his appearance is also cold, but compared with Xiao Yibai, his brows and eyes reveal more of a kind of looseness .

He saw a man in a suit and holding a wine glass standing on the other side of the terrace. He looked very young, tall and thin, looking at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, handsome and white.

So he said to the phone: "That's it, no need to contact me again." He walked towards Lu Zhan.

Although Lu Zhan was looking at Qiu Tong in a trance, what he was thinking in his heart had nothing to do with Qiu Tong, and his mind was full of Xiao Yibai.Qiu Tong was just the trigger for him to think of Xiao Yibai, and it was just a random target he caught when he didn't know where to focus his eyes.

"Looking at me?" Qiu Tong walked over and smiled at Lu Zhan, "My name is Qiu Tong, who are you?"

When Lu Zhan came back to his senses, a pair of clear eyes flickered under the night sky, which made Qiu Tong's heart skip a beat.

"Lu Zhan." Lu Zhan replied in a low voice, filled with uncontrollable emotions.

"What are you thinking about?" Qiu Tong is very direct, "You can't possibly be thinking about others when you look at me like this?"

Lu Zhan didn't have the nerve to say that he was really thinking about Xiao Yibai just looking at him.

"Sorry, I'm just looking around casually." Lu Zhan slowly pulled away from his emotions, and then took a closer look at Qiu Tong.

Very young, looks a bit cold, but has a neat and casual demeanor, and speaks crisply and directly, with a smile on his lips, which looks a bit teasing, elegant and ruffian.

"Look at it casually?" Qiu Tong laughed again, "I just looked at you for so long, and you told me to just look at it casually?"

"Can't you?" Lu Zhan took a sip of wine and said lightly, "The terrace is so empty, I don't know what to look at, so I can only look at you."

"Then what did you see?" Qiu Tong took another step in front of Lu Zhan, approaching him and asking.

After staying abroad for so long, Lu Zhan knew what Qiu Tong meant no matter how stupid he was, so he took a step back: "I didn't see anything, I said it was just a casual look."

"How old are you?" Qiu Tong suddenly changed the subject, "It doesn't look like twenty."

"Sorry, I'm 35." Lu Zhan said as he walked into the hall, not really wanting to talk nonsense with him.

But Qiu Tong grabbed his hand: "Lu Zhan, do you think I don't know? After all, he is the young master of the Lu Group. Since you have reported your name, why do you think others will listen to your nonsense?"
