Broken hand
He Yingchun clasped one hand behind her back, clenching it tightly until it was sweaty. She lowered her voice, a little hoarse, "Oh, you look familiar to me too! I must have seen you on the street. The shop has three fresh noodles, pork rib noodles, and pickled vegetable and shredded pork noodles. You can see they're all on this sign."
Huo Saner's eyes wandered from her face, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly as he tried to search his memory. When he couldn't come up with anything, he shifted his gaze to the wooden sign again, "Any recommendations?"
"You can try the pork chop noodles, and there's also a platter of side dishes, including cold cucumber salad, hot and sour potato shreds, and sweet and sour garlic. We also have stir-fries, three fresh delicacies, shredded pork with fish flavor, and twice-cooked pork!" He Yingchun turned sideways and introduced them to him one by one.
Huo Saner glanced at the prices and said, "Okay, let's have a large pork chop, a platter of side dishes, and...this one, the fish-flavored eggplant." He found a seat and sat down. Xiao Zhuo had taken leave to go home to visit his family for the past two days, so he was the only one who came out to order food today, otherwise the two of them could have tried a few more dishes.
"Okay."
He Yingchun returned to the kitchen, where her mother was sitting. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, don't go out yet. I saw Huo Saner."
"Who?" Mom was picking up noodles and not paying attention.
"Huo Saner, the one in the military camp, he has seen us."
Mom was surprised, "He recognized you?"
"I don't think so. He said it looked familiar." He Yingchun put the side dishes on the plate. She saw that her mother's hands were shaking. "It's okay, don't panic. So don't go out yet. I'll greet the guests outside."
Although my mother is a little fatter than before, you can still see it if you look closely.
But she was so skinny before, and she looked like two completely different people now. Huo Saner probably just thought she looked familiar, and even if he recognized her, she would refuse to admit it.
"Okay, you bring the noodles over first." Mom handed the noodles to her.
"Okay, another bowl of pork chop noodles and a plate of fish-flavored eggplant. I'll go take care of it first, you do it." The kitchen was steaming hot, and He Yingchun wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Sir, here's your platter of side dishes!" He Yingchun deliberately lowered her voice, sounding a little hoarse.
Huo Saner looked at her twice more and then shifted his gaze to the side dishes.
This platter of side dishes is not expensive and looks quite unique. A small round plate is divided into three parts, with a light purple flower in the middle as decoration. Huo Saner took a bite and found the spicy and sour potato shreds, his eyes lit up. It was delicious!
He has a strong taste and likes spicy food, so he ate a few more bites. The large pork chop noodles were served, with thick soup, rich meat and sauce, and paired with refreshing side dishes. It was really delicious.
Seeing that he was concentrating on eating, He Yingchun went to greet other guests. After going back and forth several times, he no longer paid attention to her, so she thought that there must be nothing to worry about.
Huo Saner lowered his head to eat noodles, and soon he finished them all. After paying the bill, he said, "The noodles are good."
He walked out of the noodle shop and brushed past Heng Yusheng.
"Boss He, business is good." Heng Yusheng walked in with a pot of wine and a smile.
He Yingchun greeted him with a smile, "Boss Heng, you're joking. Would you like a bowl of noodles?"
Heng Yusheng nodded and ordered a bowl of snow vegetable and shredded pork noodles. "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. I'll take care of other people first."
He Yingchun brought her the noodles and side dishes and went to greet other guests.
Outside the door, Huo Saner didn't leave. He walked around outside and muttered, "Boss He, Boss He?"
He glanced at the sign of "Xiyingchun Restaurant" above his head and slapped his head. Wow, isn't this the spicy hot pot?
“Bang!”
The tip of the gun pressed against the blade, making a crisp sound.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and then with a dull thud, Bao Qiang hit Wen Jingzhao's heart with his elbow. Wen Jingzhao turned over, unable to dodge, and groaned in pain. He could almost hear the crackling sound of his bones breaking, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Bao Qiang took advantage of the victory and swung his spear again, stabbing at him. "Hey!" Wen Jingzhao quickly drew his sword, the sword wind was sharp and the sword light was like lightning.
The weapons collided and the two sides confronted each other. Wen Jingzhao's fingertips trembled, and Bao Qiang was breathing like a bull, and he became more excited at the sight of blood.
We can't fight like this anymore.
Wen Jingzhao gripped the knife handle tightly, sneered, and provoked him, "The knife is a good knife, but the owner has a broken hand."
"What did you do to the second brother!" Bao Qiang widened his eyes and roared, stabbing with the silver spear more fiercely than before.
Wen Jingzhao exposed his weakness and pretended that the knife in his hand was knocked away. He reached out and drew a long whip from his waist, hooked it around Bao Qiang's neck, and the two fell to the ground. He tightened his legs and kicked the other's shoulders hard, using both arms to hold the whip tightly.
“Ah… Hehe… Ah…”
Bao Qiang grabbed the whip around his neck, his face swollen and red, his legs kicked the ground violently, twitching rapidly, his face gradually turning purple, and he became silent.
Wen Jingzhao let go, leaving red marks on his hands. He shook them to let the blood return, then slowly straightened up and stood up.
"Ah!!!" Bao Qiang held his breath and waited for him to let down his guard.
He picked up the knife on the ground, rushed forward and slashed at Wen Jingzhao.
Wen Jingzhao had his back to him and reacted quickly to avoid the noise. He had no idea that Bao Qiang could still have so much strength after holding his breath for so long.
“Swish!”
The blade severed his wrist, separating the carpal bones. Wen Jingzhao's pupils constricted as blood gushed out. "Ah!" His veins bulged with pain, his legs gave way, and he nearly fell to his knees.
Wen Jingzhao covered the wound with one hand, raised his leg and kicked, knocking Bao Qiang to the ground again. He tightened his legs and twisted his head hard. There was a violent cracking sound, and Bao Qiang's head tilted, and he was already dead.
He picked up the long knife on the ground with one hand, placed it on Bao Qiang's neck, raised his hand, swung the knife, cut off the opponent's head, and blood splattered everywhere.
The person is completely dead.
Wen Jingzhao knelt on one knee, tightly holding his wrist. The bone had been cut off, with only a little flesh still attached. He moved his fingers, but could no longer feel the existence of his hand.
Wen Jingzhao tore off a corner of his clothes and aligned the wrist bones, connecting the flesh and bones. He was sweating profusely from the pain as he bandaged it bit by bit. With trembling hands, he took out the porcelain bottle from his arms, tilted his head back and swallowed a pill.
His Adam's apple rolled and beads of sweat dripped down his neck.
"Wen Jingzhao! Wen Jingzhao!" Zhang Chao's voice came from outside. Wen Jingzhao paused for a moment, wrapped Bao Qiang's head, and walked out.
Suddenly, he paused and looked towards the bedside. Lin Shuang'er's eyes met his, tightly covering her naked body and shivering in the corner, "Please let me go... I was kidnapped by him... Wuwu... Please let me go..."
"What's your name?" Wen Jingzhao asked.
"Shuang'er...Lin Shuang'er, my name is Lin Shuang'er..." Lin Shuang'er looked up, her eyes filled with tears, and her voice was weak.
…
"It's over, you're finished." Zhang Chao was riding a horse. He just broke into the room and saw a woman with tears in her eyes, wanting to repay Wen Jingzhao with her body. The scene was more dramatic than a storybook.
"If I hadn't come, would you really have taken her in?" He recalled, Lin Shuang'er's skin was as white as snow, delicate and boneless. "Being a concubine is not a bad idea."
Wen Jingzhao didn't even raise his eyelids. He moved his wrist, which had just been broken, as if it were dead flesh, without any feeling. He suppressed his doubts, took out the elixir from the porcelain bottle, and ate another one.
After a while, his wrist became hot and itchy, and there were bursts of pain. Soon, a layer of sweat covered his back.
Zhang Chao saw that he ignored him and snorted.
"Don't say you're boring. I think Lin Shuang'er does look a bit like your young wife." He pondered, "Especially her eyes. They look alike."
He was thinking to himself, and Wen Jingzhao didn't listen to what he said at all. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, his head becoming increasingly heavy.
"Wen Jingzhao? Wen Jingzhao! What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, let's go." Wen Jingzhao whipped the horse and sped up. He tightened his lips and his face became even more stern.
Lin Shuang'er and the other abducted people walked at the back. Most of the men were killed by Bao Qiang, and most of those left were women, who walked slowly.
Her gaze fell to the front, watching the figure in front gradually disappear into the distance. She licked her dry lips and looked away.
She bit her lip in regret. She should have held on to that man just now. Her relatives were killed by Bao Qiang, and now she didn't know where to go. If she could follow that man, she would have a place to stay. She sighed and followed the main group forward.
Zhang Chao and Wen Jingzhao immediately reported to Ma Tongguang. When he saw Bao Qiang's head, he laughed a few times.
"well!"
"The second-in-command of the stronghold, Qiu Hu, and a group of bandits have also been tied up. However, their third-in-command and some bandits are missing. In addition, there are some women they abducted. What do you think should be done with them?"
"Yes." Ma Tongguang nodded. "First, confirm her identity to see if she is a kidnapped woman or if there are any bandits among them..."
Wen Jingzhao was already having trouble concentrating. The wound on his wrist began to itch, so itchy that he wanted to scratch it desperately.
Seeing that both of them looked tired, Ma Tongguang patted them on the shoulders and said, "Go to the hospital to check if you have any injuries. Go back and rest first. You two have made great contributions to this bandit suppression."
The two of them left the school lieutenant's office.
"where did you go?"
"Noodle shop." Wen Jingzhao covered his wrist with his hand and walked quickly towards the noodle shop.
"What's wrong with your hand? Is it injured?" Zhang Chao had noticed that his expression was not right and he was less talkative than usual.
"It's okay, it's just a small cut." Wen Jingzhao felt that the wound on his wrist was no longer healing. He moved his fingers, but only two fingers could move.
"Okay, hey, I'll go too! I'm going to eat noodles!" I've been living in the wild these past few days and my mouth is dry.
The two walked to the noodle shop.
"Hey, isn't that your young wife?" Zhang Chao saw He Yingchun sending a man out from afar.
The two of them were talking and laughing, one tall and one short, and their actions were intimate. The man said something, and He Yingchun smiled with her head down, not noticing that there was someone in front of her. The man pulled her to his side and put his hand on He Yingchun's arm.
"Damn, this pretty boy is trying to steal your girl!" Zhang Chao shouted.
"Okay, Boss Heng, come again next time!"
"Okay..." Heng Yusheng was about to speak when a cold snort sounded behind him.
"Boss Heng, has your huge Jiangyue Building gone bankrupt? Why do you keep coming to this small shop all day long?" Wen Jingzhao walked over with a cold face and pulled He Yingchun to his side.
Zhang Chao followed behind him, excitement in his eyes. Fight! Fight!
