Chapter 238
Bang! The sound of a firearm being discharged.
A gun is fast at seven steps away, and it is fast and accurate within seven countries. They are waiting for this law to come true, to see that handsome head being pierced by a bullet and explode like a watermelon.
However, there was only a flash of silver light in his eyes. Was it the sunlight reflected from the silver cross worn around the priest's neck?
Rong Zhou had never done anything himself before, so facing Lu Er's direct force suppression, he didn't need to do anything at all.
He was not as rough as Lu Er, who made a bloody mess every time. Not only was the blood splattered everywhere, but his whole body was also stained with blood. Lu Er asked Rong Zhou to press him in the water several times after he did it. It was very tiring to bathe a creature with fangs and claws.
And he hated to be stained with dirty blood, it was smelly.
As Rong Zhou closed the Bible, he quickly moved to the right. The silver light they saw was a flying cross and a flying silver needle.
All I could feel was the glare of the reflection and the sound of bullets being fired from the gun, and the rest was silence.
The light silver needle cut through the air and silently pierced into the eyes and brain. The energy it carried was like a small storm, turning the things under the skull into a paste.
Rong Zhou hated violence and was afraid that their blood would stain his clothes, so they died silently, standing still with only two drops of blood flowing from their noses.
Rong Zhou frowned slightly. Letting them die painlessly like this was too merciful. He would think about it next time. The most important thing now was not to attract the attention of other Japanese soldiers.
After a while, a few drops of blood appeared on the path, and it was clean and empty. The extra grave mounds testified to what had happened here.
After a while, another group of Japanese soldiers passed by from one direction. The church gate and half of the wall had collapsed, and the entire church could be seen at a glance. Only two Japanese soldiers were walking around inside with guns, and they were about to run to the next place.
Rong Zhou stood openly in the round high window of the church spire. Under the church spire, there were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7 Japanese soldiers wearing shit-yellow Japanese uniforms hanging. Occasionally, a drop of blood dripped from their nostrils, but the Japanese soldiers who came to search did not notice it.
Even if they raised their heads slightly, they could see it, but unfortunately no one looked up, and they also saved their lives.
This most prosperous city in the East is like a deserted city. The sound of dead bodies and gunfire has never stopped since the day of the bombing.
The sun sets and darkness falls again.
"Pack your things and leave here. The Japanese will raid here from time to time." Looking at the two nuns and more than ten children in the basement was Rong Zhou's biggest headache.
He is not afraid at all when he is alone. He can hide, run, and even fight back without any problem. But as long as there is someone around him, he will be restricted.
"What about Sister Xia Linna's feet?" Sister Lin pointed at Sister Xia Linna who was lying on the bed. Although the wound had been treated, it was still difficult for her to walk.
The older children in the cellar were still having it easy, but the three babies in swaddling clothes had their mouths covered during the day to stop them from crying. But what if they cried while they were on the road at night?
"I will now have Sister Xia Lina enter the International Settlement and find the priest you mentioned. Once he confirms that he can accept you, I will bring you over one by one."
"Well?"
Rong Zhou didn't explain too much. He explained the current situation to Sister Xia Lina in English. Facing the repeated raids by the Japanese, they really couldn't live here anymore. There was no way to wait for her leg to heal, so he sent her to the church in the International Settlement first.
"Will they really accept you there?" This is what Rong Zhou was worried about.
"Oh, don't worry, good sir. That's a kind priest. He will take these children in."
Rong Zhou didn't just agree or disagree with her words. He really hoped that as she said, these people could have a place to stay.
On a dark and windy night, wearing the clothes of a priest or a nun can make you blend into the night.
Rong Zhou, carrying Sister Xia Lina on his back, moved silently through the night. As he slowly approached the International Settlement, he discovered that something was not right. Rows of Japanese soldiers were patrolling with dogs, and searchlights were flashing from the sentry posts from time to time. He had no choice but to change his route.
But after changing three or four routes, they encountered patrolling Japanese soldiers every time they were close to the International Settlement. Something was wrong. If they wanted to enter the International Settlement, they had to pass through the Japanese blockade.
Sister Xia Lina, who was on his back, saw what was happening and suggested, "Why don't I go over and try? Since I look like a foreigner, maybe they won't do anything."
"Don't put your hope in the demons' mercy. They are demons. They will hurt you the first time before you get close, no matter if you are a foreigner or not." Rong Zhou carried Sister Xia Lina on his back and pushed her back a distance. "I have a way to get there, but it might scare you. I hope you close your eyes."
"How are you going to get through such a tight blockade?" Xia Lina was a little curious. At the same time, she was also very curious about the young man in front of her. This man was a very good doctor and a good person who would help strangers. He didn't seem to be afraid of the blockade line guarded by heavy troops. She was a little curious about how he could get through under such circumstances.
"..." Rong Zhou was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to lie, but it was also very troublesome to explain. "There are other ways. Close your eyes, and then open them when I tell you to."
Sister Xia Lina saw his embarrassment and stopped asking questions: "Okay, everyone has their own little secrets. I understand. I will never open my eyes. Don't worry."
After saying that, Sister Xia Lina closed her eyes, put her arms around Rong Zhou's neck from behind, and held herself firmly in place.
"Thank you." Rong Zhou was grateful that she didn't ask any more questions and he didn't need to explain anymore.
Sister Xia Lina felt the wind coming towards her getting stronger, and she sighed in her heart. The young man ran very steadily. The next second, she felt a sudden sense of weightlessness, and she almost screamed. Fortunately, she had been keeping her nerves tense, knowing that countless guns would be pointed at her at any time.
Her heart was pounding as she was curious about what had happened, and she kept her promise to never open her eyes until she knew what was going on, but she just speculated in her mind.
With the sudden feeling of weightlessness and the stronger night wind, what on earth did the young man do?
After closing my eyes, my other senses were amplified a lot. It felt like the wind was blowing for a long time, and then it seemed to get smaller very quickly. The feeling of weightlessness when falling was only for a moment, and then it quickly stabilized.
The young man's voice came: "Where is Sister Xia Lina's church? Can you show me the way?"
Xia Lina opened her eyes. It was still dark around her, but the buildings were not as dilapidated anymore. Occasionally, lights could be seen from the windows. It was obvious that they had entered the International Settlement.
