Chapter 268: Finally Seeing Lushan’s True Face
Ma Qijun was shirtless, with the bandage on his shoulder going from his right armpit to his left shoulder, and there was a bloodstain on his chest.
Although Mr. Xie is old, Chinese medicine practitioners are good at health preservation, and his voice is full of energy and deafening.
Ye Xiaomei was also startled, and hurried forward to hug him: "Why are you getting out of bed so soon? Lie down quickly."
Seeing the ups and downs of Mr. Xie's heart, he was obviously angry: "You are really looking for ways to die. It's only been four hours since the operation and you feel you are tired of living?"
Ma Qijun ignored her and followed Ye Xiaomei's force to the bed, then lay down with a grin on his face. Ye Xiaomei quickly put a pillow behind his back.
By the time he adjusted his posture, beads of sweat the size of beans began to fall on his haggard face.
You can tell from his expression that he is in great pain, but he is trying hard to endure it.
"The doctor hasn't done a second check yet, so just lie still and don't go anywhere."
"I heard that you fainted, so I came to see you." Ma Qijun didn't say anything else.
Seeing that the thief ignored him, Mr. Xie groaned angrily, "I'm already half buried in the earth up to my waist, and I'm too lazy to say anything to you."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Ye Xiaomei lowered her head and pursed her lips, her mind full of thoughts. She felt like she had a lot to say but didn't know where to start.
Ma Qijun closed his eyes tiredly and said, "The border escort vehicle for the prisoners arrived yesterday. I will take you to see the man after daybreak at the latest."
Which one? The one who looks exactly like him?
Suddenly, Ye Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat. In fact, when his life was in danger, Ye Xiaomei was thinking about nothing else except his safety.
"I believe you, but I'm just curious why there are two people who look exactly the same. There's really no other meaning." The important thing is that I'm worried that he ran out of the hospital so early.
Ye Xiaomei squeezed out a few words from her throat, low and thin like the sound of a mosquito.
Ma Qijun curled his lips.
She trusted him, but Ma Qijun felt sorry for her. He never thought that Ye Xiaomei would be so humble to keep him.
Fortunately, her finger was not that serious. He had observed it carefully last time in the interrogation room.
"You should stay here for a few more days." Ye Xiaomei changed the subject.
"I know my body well, so you don't have to worry about me." Ma Qijun closed his eyes slowly, and the wrinkles on his forehead would occasionally tug at the pain from the wound.
Ye Xiaomei felt a pain in her heart when she saw this: "He needs to stay in the hospital for at least three days to prevent the wound from getting infected."
Ma Qijun seemed not to have heard anything. He closed his eyes and spoke slowly:
"I have a postal savings passbook in my left pocket. Please hand it over to the local police station for me at dawn."
"Oh." Ye Xiaomei lowered her head and picked her nails. Her long and curled eyelashes trembled nervously. Her face was as white as jade with a little baby fat. Under her small nose was a pair of naturally rosy lips.
Ma Qijun felt nervous when he saw her looking like a bullied young wife. She had suffered a lot these days:
"I'm sorry you've been through a lot during this time. If you have anything else to ask, feel free to ask."
He pinched his brows and swallowed the bitterness in his eyes. He had done this kind of spy work infiltrating local camps before, but at that time he was just a squad leader and was not married at all.
Naturally, there will be no worries.
This time, he almost broke down the day before the wedding banquet for his child. He really didn't want to pretend anymore and just led his troops to eliminate evil. However, he didn't have any real evidence against Xue Wenhao.
He was so depressed that he couldn't sleep all night and wanted to give up.
Did she really understand her man? Ye Xiaomei's heart was beating like a drum. She was not afraid of anything else, but was frightened by her own thoughts.
"I just found that I don't know you very well." Ye Xiaomei paused before speaking out her thoughts:
"As for the rest, I don't have that many thoughts. As long as you live well, that's all."
Ma Qijun's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that the girl who clarified in the interrogation room had heard him, so she understood him. However, this sentence that she didn't really understand herself made him feel sad.
"You mean... the thing that happened before. If that's the case, there's no need to worry about it. I'm still the same as before." Ma Qijun didn't know if saying this would help her get over the knot in her heart. Even though he felt sorry for her, he still tried hard to look at the girl, hoping to see the childlike, black and bright eyes in her star-like eyes again.
Ye Xiaomei shook her head slowly: "Maybe I also remembered what Heizi said about you before."
"What did you say about me?" Ma Qijun didn't wait for Ye Xiaomei to finish her words, and secretly cursed Heizi in his heart what he had said.
Seeing how nervous he was, Ye Xiaomei hurried to comfort him: "Just lie still. Heizi said your temper is different from when you were in the army. He said you are like a wolf."
Ma Qijun heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he would have to teach Heizi a lesson someday. Perhaps he had been too idle recently:
"He's referring to my attitude and methods in training soldiers. That's for their own good. Bullets don't have eyes on the battlefield. No one can guarantee that they can come back alive. All I can do is train them into iron men one by one."
Ye Xiaomei nodded silently, thinking it made sense.
"If you are worried, I will take you to the military district to have a look." Seeing that he did not say anything, Ma Qijun added:
"You can live in the family building, which is mostly occupied by military families."
"Ah?" Ye Xiaomei really didn't want to visit the troops: "That's got to wait until you get better."
To be honest, Ye Xiaomei was looking forward to it in her heart. She wanted to really get to know this man.
Seeing that she did not refuse, Ma Qijun felt relieved:
"Actually, I don't know you very well."
"Me? I don't think there's anything hard to understand about me." Ye Xiaomei was different. She didn't have to play along, and she couldn't go on any missions. What was there that was hard to understand?
Ma Qijun's mood gradually improved: "At least I didn't know my wife could do business." The dumpling restaurant was the evidence.
This... Ye Xiaomei was a little caught off guard: "The purpose of doing business is to make money. Of course the money you gave is enough to spend, but who would complain about too much money, right?"
Ma Qijun sighed and said, "Can you afford to study for a hundred years while doing business?"
"Of course I can handle it." Ye Xiaomei would not allow anyone to refute this.
"Have you made any money?" Ma Qijun asked indirectly, but in fact he was just trying to find an excuse to stop her from working so hard.
"Now..." Ye Xiaomei counted on her fingers, "I haven't made back my original investment yet. After all, the rent and kitchenware are all investments. I believe that I will be able to make back my investment when the flow of people increases after school starts."
Ma Qijun looked at Ye Xiaomei's confident face and felt worried:
"How about making a bet? If you don't make back your money in the first month of school, which is from September to October, you'll quit."
"What if I make my money back?" Ye Xiaomei had no intention of letting it go just like that, as she had paid for half a year's rent.
"You decide when the money is back, and I won't bother you anymore."
"It's a deal." Ye Xiaomei's face finally showed her previous innocent and self-aware look.
Soon it was daybreak, and the head nurse, along with the nurses, began ward rounds with the surgeon in charge.
Ye Xiaomei bought a bowl of wontons and placed it on the bedside table. Ma Qijun's various indicators were normal, which caused another sigh.
But Ye Xiaomei has something to do today.
He took a taxi directly to Chaocheng Police Station. Just when he saw Zhang Sanmao handing him the passbook, Ye Xiaomei noticed a familiar figure.
That person's height and back profile are exactly the same as Ma Qijun.
