Chapter 22 Midnight Gunshots
Midnight in Shanghai is still crowded with people.
Five or six drunken Japanese soldiers on Dongying Street ran rampant on the street, and some items placed in the stalls were either broken or pushed down. Some people who didn't have time to dodge barely survived the pain of flesh and blood.
Not far away, a pair of eagle-like eyes stared at them, and the clenched fist burst into blue veins.
"Flower girl!" Seeing the women walking by, one of them couldn't help but pounced.
"Flower girl, flower girl!" Suddenly someone hugged her from behind.
The girl struggled desperately, and the mournful sound of help shook everyone's heart. Finally, a man who looked like a student stood up from the crowd.
"Let go of her!" The man was righteous.
"Bagga!" The Japanese soldier headed angrily shouted, and kicked the man, who instantly avoided the big foot that was kicked to the abdomen. Of course, this further aroused the anger of the Japanese soldiers, who waved another punch. The man, who also seemed to have received martial arts training, threw the Japanese soldier to the ground in a few strokes. Seeing the companion fell to the ground, several Japanese soldiers rushed up together.
The young and strong man effortlessly overturned the Japanese soldier to the ground and won bursts of applause. One, two, and when the third Japanese soldier fell to the ground, one of the Japanese soldiers drew a short spear.
"Bang!" A gunshot frightened the onlookers who were still smiling and fled in all directions. The man who was still dancing with his feet just now suddenly covered his chest and gurgled blood out. The man moved his footsteps, trying to knock down another Japanese soldier. "Bang" was another thrilling sound of gunfire, and the young man gradually fell down.
Xiao Jinlin, who was hiding on the corner, attacked the Japanese soldiers without hesitation. The Japanese soldier who had just climbed up from the ground fell down in dismay.
"Bagaya Road!"
"Bang!" Another Japanese soldier fell.
Seeing the Japanese soldiers shooting at him with guns, Xiao Jinlin had no choice but to fight back while running. When the gun rang, a bullet flew through. Xiao Jinlin couldn't dodge as quickly as the bullet flew past him, landing on the wall and splashing sparks.
, was startled and fired back a few shots before hiding in the dark night stream.
Hearing the gunshots, Xiao Yuntong woke up from the dream. After getting dressed, she quietly got up and stood at the window staring.
Suddenly, something seemed to be shaking under the vines not far away. A closer look turned out to be a person, and the thin figure quickly moved towards Xiwan. What are you doing so late, bro? The gunshot just now, could it be... was about to open the door and go out to see what happened, but there was a hurried knock on the door.
"Tongtong, Tongtong." She hurriedly opened the door when she heard the shout.
Seeing Ren Cailing in light blue satin pajamas, she was a little puzzled: "Mother, why are you here?"
"I see you coming back from get off work?" Ren Cailing looked worried, she looked at her daughter's beautiful face carefully and said, "Tongtong, you should go home, our family is not short of this money. Chaos, you are a girl, tell me how to rest assured."
"Mother, don't worry, I learned some martial arts self-defense abroad." Xiao Yuntong said tiredly to his mother, then turned around and walked out.
Seeing her daughter rushing away, Ren Cailing had no choice but to follow: "Tongtong, where are you going so late?" At this moment, she just wanted to see if Big Brother came back. If so, then the shadow just now was him. When she ran to Dongyuan, she blocked the door of her eldest brother's room. At this time, Xiao Jinbiao walked in from the outside.
"Jin Biao, you went out to drink again, and you came back so late?"
Xiao Jinbiao's long and narrow eyes narrowed a line, staring straight at her with blurred eyes, his eyes full of provocation and disdain: "Who are you, why do you care about me?"
"Just because I'm older than you, I'm your sister."
"Sister?" Xiao Jinbiao's eyelids slowly turned upward, showing impatience and contempt, and a "呲" sound came from his nostrils. In his heart, this big house has always been an outsider, only a stumbling block in his life.
At this moment, the wooden door behind him suddenly opened, and Xiao Jinlin, who was all white, poked his head out with sleepy eyes: "What's the noise? You don't sleep, why don't you let people sleep?"
"Jin Lin?"
"Mother, what are you talking about, I slept well, you woke me up, and you asked me why I'm here?" Xiao Jinlin gave her an angry look and said loudly, "What are you doing in the middle of the night without sleeping? You don't sleep, and don't affect others." After that, he closed the door with a snap.
"It's dangerous!" Xiao Jinlin looked at the open window, patted his frightened heart, quickly took off the black clothes in his pajamas, and hid his night clothes.
