The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 232 Road Encounters
A corner of the hospital was turned into a temporary interrogation room.

The stethoscope became a whip, and the needles and scissors left the man under interrogation in a bloody mess.

After bumping Zhang Wenxuan's head back and forth against the cold wall several times, he was so weak that he was about to lose consciousness.

Blood had blurred his eyes.

Before passing out, the kind doctor thought about one thing intermittently:

"Qilan, Ms. Lin, it's time to escape."

There was no news throughout the afternoon, as if the police were only here to arrest him.

Doctor Zhang closed his eyes.

From the beginning to now, he didn't say a word, and he didn't cry out the pain.

Sergeant Liu, who found nothing, was disappointed.

While taking off the blood-stained gloves, he kicked him angrily a few more times.

After kicking, he suddenly remembered something, hurried into the doctor's office, and picked up the phone.

"My lord, the Lin family's father and daughter must have left the hospital. I'll send someone to investigate nearby. You can arrange someone to interrogate the suspect directly."

"As soon as possible, we must catch the living!"

Sergeant Liu hung up the phone and ordered Dr. Zhang to be tied up, stuffed into a black carriage outside the hospital, and taken to the cell of the police station.

The rest of the doctors and nurses were all in tears, but they couldn't do what they wanted, so they had to watch the carriage go away.

The snow began to fall again.

The marks left by the carriage, the messy footprints of the policemen, and the blood dripped by Dr. Zhang along the road were all frozen together.
Gu Qilan was exhausted from running with Li Yan, who was seriously injured and unconscious.

He was very familiar with the road near the hospital.

Unfortunately, it was dark and snowy, and the road was cold and slippery.

"Snapped!"

Both fell down.

One is on the back and the other is lying on the ground.

"Ouch!"

Qilan couldn't help but yelled a little, and it took a lot of effort to get up with his arms supported.

Li Yan still didn't wake up, and he didn't know whether the fall was heavy or not.

Suddenly, the sound of police blowing whistles and gathering came from a distant street.

Qilan's heart "thumped" in the air, and he hurried to carry Li Yan with all his might.

"Can't leave him, poor brother!"

When he carried Li Yan on his back again, he found that his legs could barely move.

Qilan knew in her heart that if she ran for her life, this little remaining strength would be enough.

However, what he is carrying now is a living life.

With the support of the last bit of strength, Qilan finally carried Li Yan to a narrow alley.

There are not many houses here, which are very dilapidated.

It was dark and there were no lights.

He groped as he walked, and with great effort, he came to the end.

No Exit.

The street ends in a cul-de-sac!

Qilan's legs went limp, and his strength was about to run out in minutes.

"Plop", the two rolled into the icy mud pit on the side of the road together.

The snow fell like gravel.

The two of them were like petrified portraits in the snow, motionless.

Except for the white air exhaled from the mouth, there is no feeling in the limbs.

In a muddy snow field, two figures gradually appeared.

It is a man and a woman.

The man's hands are holding a bulging bag of things.

The woman held an umbrella and held a small kerosene lamp in her hand.

They were all young, and their clothes were out of tune with their surroundings.

In this unremarkable broken street, many tenants from Bei Piao lived.

There are all walks of life.Very complicated.Very messy.

Only recently has it ushered in a new tenant it has never had before.

In Beiping, where people are not familiar with life, saving the cost of living is a big deal.

Li Jianhua and his younger sister Li Caiwei came here by accident.

The money they brought with them when they went north to study was not much, and it had already been spent.

There were changes in the family, both parents died, and the uncle in the capital no longer had contact with him.

Ever since I said goodbye to Lin Yitang, I haven't had the chance to meet him again.

Before Lin Yitang left, he set a date for the next meeting, sincerely.

Talked as if he would actually come.

When that day came, he was not seen.

Another day passed.

There was still no one in the hall.

Never made a phone call.

However, the high-priced hotel where the brother and sister lived could hardly afford it.

When carrying the luggage, Caiwei was thinking about the whole thing and didn't want to leave for a long time.

Jianhua was anxious, but he couldn't hold back his increasingly empty wallet.

They still have to wait.

Just change to a cheaper place and wait.

As a result, Jianhua's original idea of ​​finding a borrower to tide over the difficulties also died.

The two brothers and sisters were not familiar with the place of life in Peiping, and finally settled here after following the advice of the original hotel waiter.

The two of them don't know how to do housework, so they just rely on buying some food to get by.

Jianhua found a typesetting and proofreading job at a newspaper office far away to make ends meet.

The salary is average, leaving early and returning late.

He thinks that his younger sister is not suitable to go out to find a job, and the exam is the most important thing.

Caiwei is weak, so she closes the door and reads in her room all day.

I still miss one in my heart.

She was always worried that something happened to him, and she often had nightmares at night.

I woke up crying, and I didn't know where to find him.

Lin Yitang didn't know about their moving away.

But he deliberately kept a distance from them, for fear of affecting his engagement.

Jianhua thought he was his brother-in-law-to-be.

Caiwei has never concealed her feelings for him.

If they knew the news that they were going to get engaged, they would feel sad and desperate.

It's best not to meet at all.

Lin Yitang is not hard-hearted.

He planned to secretly send someone to send a large sum of money so that the two of them would have no worries about food and clothing.

It's a pity that the guard he told to deliver the money did not complete the task.

Before he had time to leave that day, he was unfortunately killed by the traitor Wang Xin who returned halfway.

Now Lin Yitang has been framed and imprisoned.

The brothers and sisters of the Li family lived a normal and free life in the shabby room.

That night, Jianhua felt very depressed.

He read the news about the arrest of the suspect in the Huaxia Hotel in the new newspaper published by the newspaper office, and learned of the news of his imprisonment.

Compared to going to jail, what is this kid's secret of his engagement worth?
Jianhua left work in a hurry, much earlier than usual.

Seeing that her brother came back early this day, Caiwei felt much better.

Had to stay and not go out during the day.My brother came back too late before.

After finally coming back early, she longed to go out for some air.

She hadn't seen much snow in Fujian in the past, and she also wanted to see the snow scene at night.

Jianhua ate out by himself, but his sister's meals were included in the rent.

Caiwei has been eating pancakes and porridge provided by the landlord for several days, and sometimes cabbage mixed with soy sauce.

This is the first time she has seen these poor-quality foods.

Caiwei frowned, feeling more bitter than taking medicine.

When you find food still difficult to swallow for the first time:
Take a bite, and your mouth is full of astringent corn dregs.

The stale polenta can be tolerated.

The pancakes were dry and hard.

Can't bite.

Tongue and teeth are sore.

Soy sauce cabbage is very salty.

In the past, when we were at home, the servants ate fruits and white rice.

Today is not what it used to be.

Caiwei followed Jianhua and went out under an umbrella.

The snow scene is nothing to look at.

The ground is muddy.

Passing by a pastry shop, she smelled the aroma of newly baked pastries.

She finally couldn't resist the hunger in her stomach, and leaned in front of Jianhua
"Brother, shall we go buy some milk biscuits?"

Jianhua took out the few coins left in his pocket and handed them to his sister:

"Buy more if you want to eat."

The two brothers and sisters bought biscuits, and braved the gradually increasing snow, and walked back.
