404, It's rare to be stable and say a thousand words
Xie Yunshu couldn't explain how she felt when she set foot on the old street again. She thought this place was dark and scary before, but now she and Shen Ce were forced to take refuge here by something really scary.
Dou Jie's car drove by in the alley, and it was quiet inside. It was almost 11 o'clock, but the side alley outside was bustling with activity. The barbecue stalls were in full swing, and the sound of drinking and punching could be heard from far and near. The word "small stall" Standing in a row, you can't see clearly what they are selling.
Finally, the car stopped in front of a small independent building with bright street lights. Dou Jie's men jumped out of the car first, opened the door for them and turned on the lights. Dou Jie and Xie Yunshu helped Shen Ce out of the car, and entered the mahogany door in the living room. Sit down on the chair.
Xie Yunshu looked at the entire brightly lit hall. It was no longer the style of the low courtyard where Dou Jie stayed. At that time, he was low-key and simple, but now he looked like a gangster brother.
Dou Jie stepped back, poured water for the two of them, sat down on the seat opposite, and said with a faint smile: "You can live here with peace of mind from now on. I will send someone to fetch the things I put in the place where you lived before. "His tone was kind, no longer as solemn as his subordinates.
Shen Ce solemnly replied: "Brother, you help me, Shen Da Da will always remember it in his heart." Perhaps providing this blessing is just a simple effort for him, but it is a true sincerity.
Dou Jie waved his hand and said relaxedly: "You're welcome, tell those boys if you have anything to say. I've been dealing with some things recently and I don't have time to accompany you." Although the old street is not big, there are many trivial matters, which is enough for him to do. Management is overwhelming.
"Okay." Shen Ce knew a lot about him and didn't ask any more questions.
"It's late today, so go to bed early. I'll arrange for you to live in the two rooms on the south side of the second floor." He pointed to the second-floor corridor above the living room.
Shen Ce joked: "Your place is safer than the police station. I can have a peaceful sleep." He didn't know how long it had been since he had a peaceful sleep, and he was used to it.
"That's for sure. How can I still make you fearful by asking you to come here?" Dou Jie took a sip of tea, stood up and said, "I have something to do and I have to go out again, so let this guy accompany you." He pointed. Pointing to a subordinate waiting quietly aside, he looked to be less than twenty years old.
Shen Ce didn't want to trouble more people, so he replied: "No, I can still walk. Yun Shu, help me go upstairs." After saying that, he turned to look at her beside him, and with her help, they stood up together. .
"Okay, I'll leave first then, you guys have a good rest." Dou Jie took his men and they walked towards the entrance together.
Shen Ce stood by the coffee table and looked at his back, and couldn't help but say: "Is it serious? You should be careful." Some things involved confidentiality, and it was hard for him to ask too many questions.
Dou Jie turned around and smiled fearlessly, "No, I'll be back after finishing the matter." The eldest brother was not that easy to be, and the people below him would always find something to do for him.
"Okay, bring a few more people with you." Shen Ce instructed, standing there and watching him off.
"I know." Dou Jie glanced at the two of them one last time, turned back, and for some reason said in his heart: What a perfect match.
Opening the door, those men were lined up waiting outside. With just a glance, the door was closed from the outside, leaving the living room quiet.
Xie Yunshu sighed secretly in his heart, Dou Jie and the others were quite disciplined, as hierarchical as in the movie.
Helping Shen Ce to go upstairs, she asked in a low voice: "Are we going to stay here from now on?" The building was a bit empty, and the echo was too obvious when she spoke louder.
He held his left arm, trying to prevent it from being pulled, and nodded: "Yes, until the danger is relieved. Dou Jie will help us deal with it. It is estimated that those people can be caught within two days." Qiao Mengzhe was trapped in In prison, his men were carrying out the plan step by step outside. Since they couldn't ask questions, the only way now was to capture them one by one.
She looked at the house and sighed: "Dou Jie turns out to be the eldest brother." She never expected that she would be able to meet a figure like the underworld eldest brother in her lifetime, and through a man as upright as Shen Ce.
Shen Ce looked at her thoughtful look and explained: "He is a low-key person. You didn't notice it before. It's normal." And people who really have that status will not show off outside and are generally very low-key.
She nodded and turned around to look at the decoration on the second floor. They were all in a fresh and bright style. She said unintentionally: "I really didn't see it." She thought that the gang boss would look very fierce, with scars on his face and tattoos on his body, and the same at home. It was filled with fighting equipment, but the reality was completely different from what she thought.
Turning on the light and entering the room, she helped him sit down by the bed.
Shen Ce felt weak. He watched her open the water dispenser and help him change his shoes. His tone became a little different, "He has a place in Haikou City." In the past, when he was injured, there were always others in the military doctor's team. Such a figure will be busy for him.
"With him protecting us, I feel more at ease." She took off his coat and bulletproof vest, feeling much more relaxed. She took out the anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers prescribed by the doctor from her pocket, and asked him: "Shen Ce, does your wound still hurt? Do you want to take another painkiller?"
He shook his head lightly and said, "No, the medicine he just took is still working." The person before always told him to take less painkillers, otherwise the medicine would not be as effective as it was every time.
Xie Yunshu didn't notice anything strange about him and said to him: "If it hurts you at night, just call me and I will help you pour water."
"Yeah." He looked up at her and felt that a certain area of his chest was numb unconsciously, both in the past and now.
"You can't move your arms. Let me pour hot water and help you wash your face." She walked into the bathroom and checked whether the toiletries were complete.
Shen Ce came back to his senses and said, "No, just lift your left hand for me."
She poked her head out of the bathroom and said, "What if we get into trouble? I'll do it. You can brush your teeth yourself." Then she went back and continued to collect water.
"Okay." He sat on the bed and looked around. He suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, if you want to call Qiao Ye, just use the landline here. Your location will not be found or monitored."
She jumped out of the bathroom, her hands were still wet with water drops, and she said in surprise: "Really? I'll call him right now." She wiped her hands dry on her clothes and walked towards the door of the room.
Shen Ce stopped her from behind: "Don't talk about my injury, otherwise he will be worried."
Xie Yunshu asked in confusion: "What do you mean?" It would be easy for him to find out if she lied in front of Qiao Ye.
He pondered for a moment and then said: "Just say that I was followed today. I'm fine now. I'm hiding in my friend's territory."
"Okay." She agreed readily, walked out of the room and ran downstairs.
Pressing the number she knew well by heart on the landline, the person on the other end just answered the call and said hello, and she hurriedly said: "Hubby, it's me."
Qiao Ye recognized that it was her and said in confusion: "Yun Shu, what phone did you use to call me? The caller ID showed an empty number." A few dozen seconds ago, he was guarding the two children in the baby's room.
She was so happy to be able to talk to him on the phone that she replied: "That's why Shen Ce allowed me to call you. Husband, Shen Ce and I no longer live in Dongshan Lake. We were followed today and we now live in Shen Ce." Ce’s friend’s house, he is the boss of this place.”
The amount of information in her words was a bit overwhelming, which made him feel dizzy. "It doesn't matter where you live, I believe Shen Ce will take good care of you."
"Well, I'm fine. How about you, are your wounds healed?" It's been a week since I last saw him, and I feel tired just thinking about it.
Qiao Ye answered over there: "I'm healed. I've already been dealing with things at the company today. When will you come back? Mu Wen told me for two days." After a week of rest, the company just took leave, and he had to go back to take charge of the overall situation. , even though the chest can’t move much.
Xie Yunshu didn't know what message Mu Wen sent to Shen Ce, so he said vaguely: "I'm afraid it won't work anymore. Those people are targeting us. Shen Ce said that going back will cause you trouble, but it will be safer to stay here."
Qiao Ye sighed softly in his heart and said softly: "Yunshu, come back soon. I don't feel at ease without you around. No matter when they stop or what they want to do, we are not afraid." Without her by his side, He has no energy to do anything.
She didn't hear the tiredness in his words and responded: "Well, I will discuss it with Shen Ce. Where are the babies? Are they okay?"
"The confinement sister-in-law takes good care of her, don't worry." Qiao Ye actually said this with a guilty conscience.
She said sweetly and softly: "When I'm not here, you have to take time to spend more time with them."
Qiao Ye leaned against the window and rubbed his forehead feebly, "I know, Yun Shu, I miss you so much. Come back soon. The house has been converted into iron and copper walls now, so it is very safe."
Xie Yunshu put her face against the phone, and all the grievances and frights she felt during this period came to her heart. She cried unconsciously, lowered her eyes and sobbed: "Husband, I miss you too."
"Don't cry, it's so late. Wash your face and go to bed." Qiao Ye was extremely tired from the whole day's chores, and he wouldn't be able to fall asleep if he listened to her cry for a while longer.
Tears kept falling, and she muttered: "Okay..."
Qiao Ye stroked the top of her hair from the bottom of his heart and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, be obedient, and you'll be able to go home in a few days."
"Well, good night, hubby." She sobbed, her tears falling all over the floor as she missed her.
After hearing her call her husband a few times, he finally chuckled and said over the phone, "Kiss me."
She angrily refused: "No kiss."
"Why?"
She couldn't help but smiled and whispered: "Save it and go home and kiss her together."
He smiled helplessly, "Okay, good night then." After this disaster passed, he became more and more eager to see her soon.
"Good night." Xie Yunshu hung up the phone reluctantly. There were thousands of words he had not yet said, but he just hoped he could understand.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ye looked at Zhong Ling, who was sleeping restlessly in front of him, and couldn't help frowning. She was about to come back, but the child's illness had not improved at all. When the time came, she knew how she should explain to her.
After being hospitalized for a week and suffering from low and high fevers repeatedly, could the child also feel the uneasiness of this family?
After calming down, Xie Yunshu went upstairs, knocked on the door of Shen Ce's room, and called him from outside: "Shen Ce." Thinking that it would be inconvenient for him to move around, he opened the door and leaned in.
Shen Ce was still sitting on the edge of the bed, looking up at her, faintly seeing the redness in her eyes, and asked, "Did you talk to him on the phone?"
She slowly walked into the room, sat on the bed next to him, lowered her head and said, "Well, he asked us to go back in the next two days."
"What did you tell him?"
Xie Yunshu cast him a helpless look and muttered: "I said someone is following us, so we have to hide here for a few days before deciding whether to leave." In fact, it was because Shen Ce had to recover from his injuries, but she hid it from Qiao Ye.
Seeing that she was in a low mood, he decided to comply with her wishes and said fearlessly: "Okay, I can rest for a few days with this injury. Just ask Dou Jie to help us find someone to drive." It was just a skin injury, and it will take a long time to heal. That’s it.
She was still frightened when she thought of his bloody wounds, and struggled: "How about we tell him the truth? You have to recuperate for a while before you can move."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a few hours' drive. I'll be with Lin Shao and Qilin when I get back, so I can continue to recuperate." She is still unhappy without Qiao Ye, so let's send her back as soon as possible.
She was in a mess and didn't want to think about this dilemma anymore. She stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late. I'll help you prepare face wash."
"Well, please." He stood up holding his arms and followed her to the bathroom.
She lowered her gaze and said dejectedly: "You shed your blood to protect me. What I do is nothing."
He then added: "By the way, if you hear any fighting or noise at night, don't worry about it. Fighting happens here all the time."
"Okay, you should have a good sleep, and you don't have to be a cat anymore." She put half a basin of hot water in and soaked the towel.
"Yeah." Shen Ce stood beside her and looked at her through the mirror.
Xie Yunshu wrung the towel half dry, turned sideways to face him, and said, "Close your eyes, I'll help you."
Shen Ce closed his eyes as he listened to her, and chuckled: "It makes me feel like a cripple." The warm towel wiped it carefully, wiping away the dirt of his day.
She stopped her hand, rubbed the towel again and wiped his hands, and asked curiously: "You were injured before, so you still stay on the front line of the battlefield?"
He thought about it for a moment and replied calmly: "Take painkillers and bandage it and then continue, but it's not as expensive as it is now."
"Don't take it lightly this time. The doctor said that poor recovery will affect your future activities, and you will regret it if it leaves any sequelae." Looking at his wrapped left hand, he just hoped that the wound would heal quickly.
Shen Ce thought of those days when the blade licked blood, and he didn't seem to have thought about the sequelae of being injured. He looked down at her and said with a smile: "This is just for you. If you have anything you can't do due to the sequelae in the future, just leave it to me." Give it to you." After saying that, I felt something was wrong.
She was so nervous that she didn't hear the other meaning, so she replied: "Don't expect me, you still have to take care of yourself." She took the toothpaste and toothbrush, filled the toothbrush with water, and handed the toothbrush to his right hand with a smile. Said: "The toothpaste has been squeezed out for you, just brush it yourself."
"You should go back and rest, have a good sleep." He took the toothbrush and smiled back at her.
"Call me if you need anything." She walked out of the bathroom, feeling much more relaxed.
He looked at her profile and said, "I won't call you, so just sleep peacefully."
"OK, good night."
Life has to go on. In the next few days, she and him will still be the only ones dependent on each other, so just sleep well.
