Chapter 109 Transaction
A warm hug, a familiar fragrance.
Hot tears fell drop by drop on Huo Jingchuan's skin which was cold and numb.
This was the first time he had experienced such a real illusion.
It's so real that it doesn't feel like a dream at all.
"You know, I almost thought you were dead!"
If it weren't for the memories of her past life, her faith would have collapsed the moment she saw those glass containers.
"I called you so many times, didn't you hear me? Why didn't you say anything? Can't you just answer me?"
Jiang Cha tightly strangled Huo Jingchuan's neck with both hands.
He could hardly breathe.
However, at times like this, he surprisingly liked this feeling of suffocation.
Not a dream.
It's true.
He really saw Cha Cha's face and heard his voice.
But why did she come here?
Huo Jingchuan dropped the dagger in his hand and hugged her back tightly.
"What brings you here?"
He held her face in his hands and looked at her in the moonlight.
"Why are you all wet? They threw you into the water dungeon, didn't they? What else did they do to you?"
"Are you crazy? Do you know where this place is? Do you know how dangerous it is? Have you ever thought about what would happen if you couldn't go back..."
What should he do?
Jiang Cha started to laugh while crying.
"Aren't you still here?"
Her face was frozen white, and the skin on her hands was wrinkled from being soaked in water for a long time, which did not look good at all.
He really wanted to be Jiang Cha's backer.
But now...
"I can't move."
His voice was filled with despair, colder than the ice and snow on the mountains.
"Cha Cha, I can't move. Run away before they find out. Don't worry about me. Just leave."
"Since I'm here, I will definitely take you out."
Jiang Cha gritted her teeth and took off her heavy, soaked cotton jacket, "I'll carry you!"
She pulled Huo Jingchuan's arm and put it on her shoulder.
Huo Jingchuan was tall and had a large frame, so he had no power in his lower body, and Jiang Cha couldn't pull him up.
Tian Li hurried over upon seeing this, "Comrade Jiang Cha, I'll carry him."
Huo Jingchuan knew Tian Li, "You're out too?"
"Yes, thanks to Comrade Jiang Cha, she rescued us all."
Three people came out of the valley, one step deep and one step shallow. Those comrades who saw hope supported each other, and their shattered will was re-gathered. More and more people climbed out.
"What are you doing?"
"It's over. We've been discovered."
Several brothers have already started fighting with the islanders who are in charge of guarding.
"We have to go help. If we hold on a little longer, our people should be rushing in."
There was something else on Jiang Cha's body, and she had sealed the opening of the poisonous powder with a gourd that had excellent sealing properties.
"I'll go over and help first, Comrade Tian Li. I'll leave these people to you."
"Chacha."
Huo Jingchuan couldn't stop Jiang Cha at all.
He patted Tian Li's shoulder and said, "There's a grenade in that cave just now. Go get it."
Tian Li was shocked.
"As expected of my brother Huo."
In this situation, how can we get grenades?
"There's also a pistol, but there's only one bullet in it. Give it to me."
Tian Li suddenly became excited.
"Yes, I will ensure that the task is completed."
Tian Li placed him next to a huge rock and said to the others, "You all wait here. We will definitely be able to kill these bastards and rush out of here."
"Get out."
"Get out."
"Get out."
The momentum was rising, awakening the darkness.
The icy valley seemed to boil overnight.
The Japanese people who surrounded them were poisoned by the ginger tea powder.
No one knows who sounded the alarm in this valley.
A harsh sound was heard, and Jiang Cha secretly said something bad.
The huge commotion alarmed more islanders, and soon more and more people rushed out of caves, big and small.
Some of them held samurai swords in their hands, and some held guns, and they gathered from all directions.
Where had Jiang Cha ever seen such a scene?
She looked at Huo Jingchuan worriedly, and she realized that Huo Jingchuan's eyes had never left her.
"Tian Li, come here."
Huo Jingchuan's voice penetrated the rustling cold wind and fell into Tian Li's ears.
"Okay." Tian Li followed the command and quickly rushed to the highest point pointed by Huo Jingchuan.
"leave."
At the command.
Tian Li pulled the safety pin of the grenade and threw it accurately into the densest crowd.
Bang.
There was a loud bang.
A large number of Japanese people were blown away.
"kill!"
A large group of our soldiers rushed in from the cave.
"Chacha, hide quickly."
Huo Jingchuan wished he could grow a pair of wings, fly to Jiang Cha and hold her in his arms.
But he can't do it now.
He couldn't even protect himself.
No matter how scared Jiang Cha was, she knew she had to find a place to hide at this moment.
Huo Jingchuan finally felt relieved when Jiang Cha could no longer be seen in the melee.
Tian Li stuffed the pistol into his hand and said, "Brother Huo, wait here for me. I'm going to kill those bastards today."
After suffering for so long, Tian Li suddenly took off his heavy coat, picked up the discarded samurai sword on the ground, shouted, and joined the battle.
All the heroes who died in vain, all our compatriots who were tortured to a point where their lives were worse than death.
Those treasures that were secretly shipped abroad.
Precious animals, precious medicinal materials, and those great assets lost by the country.
These people deserve to die.
Huge hatred is overwhelming. Once facing the Japanese, the Chinese people always have a spirit of not giving up.
"Kill these bastards!"
Jiang Cha had been paying attention to the movements outside and didn't notice that a white figure quietly appeared behind her.
“Woo…”
Someone suddenly covered Jiang Cha's mouth, but fortunately Jiang Cha was prepared.
She held the silver needle in her hand and stabbed it into the man's neck without saying a word.
It's the old man with gray hair.
He dodged subconsciously, and Jiang Cha's head hit his chest hard, knocking him back repeatedly.
Jiang Cha turned around and ran inside.
"Stop right there, you sinister and cunning woman."
Ginger tea won't stand still.
She threw everything she could find at the white-haired old man.
Those experimental instruments, tables, chairs, benches, and documents.
Ginger tea was thrown away on everything that could move.
In the blink of an eye, she returned to the ward where the vegetative patient lay.
Jiang Cha pulled out the dagger tied to his belt and pressed it against the man's neck.
"Don't touch him."
The white-haired old man roared in shock.
How could Jiang Cha have killed anyone with his own hands?
What happened in the past two days was enough to give her nightmares for a long time.
"Don't come over here. If you dare to come over here, I will kill him."
The room fell into an eerie silence.
Jiang Cha's attention was all on the white-haired old man.
Her brain was working rapidly, thinking about whether there was any way to break the deadlock.
"Girl, how about we make a deal?"
He clearly had bad intentions.
In order to delay time, Jiang Cha replied: "Tell me!"
"As long as you can save him, I can let you go."
"Don't you believe me?"
Yesterday, when she discussed this matter with him, he was so disdainful.
“Now, I believe it!”
"It's too late. Our people are about to win. I don't need to be at your mercy."
"Do you think you really won?"
He raised his hand, and his palm landed on a red button.
"As long as I press it, all ten tons of bombs buried underground will explode."
Ginger Tea has never seen anything like it.
"Why should I trust you?"
"You could just try killing him!"
The old man said it with certainty.
He speaks Mandarin very fluently, without any island accent at all.
"You are Chinese, right?"
"So what?"
He laughed until tears welled up in his eyes. "My grandson was hit in the brain by a stray bullet. I need money, medicine, and a doctor who can treat him."
"My son and daughter-in-law died in the war. Do you know how it feels to watch your loved ones die one by one in front of you?"
"You don't understand at all. They can provide me with money, medicinal materials, and everything the laboratory needs."
"Why shouldn't I agree to them? What China can't give me, the island countries can give me."
"Traitor!"
Jiang Cha's eyes were bloodshot.
"Your son and daughter-in-law are defending our country, and you are slaughtering our people. If I were your family, I would not want to see you again even if I were in hell."
"As long as my grandson can be saved, what does it matter to me if other people die?"
"Even if your grandson survives, if he knows what you've done, do you think he'll recognize you as his grandfather?"
Jiang Cha's words touched his heart.
"I did this for him!"
He explained loudly.
Jiang Cha nodded. "Okay, then let's hear his answer. What do you think?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I can keep him awake for half a quarter of an hour, but he can only be awake for half a quarter of an hour."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"I never joke with my patients."
No matter whether it is a serious illness or a minor one, as long as it falls under her hands, she will be ready to deal with it.
"How long will it take?"
"Half an hour."
He had long forgotten that the islanders outside had been suppressed by the military reinforcements.
Now, in his eyes, there was only his grandson's face, which was so white that it was almost transparent.
For five whole years, his grandson has not seen the sunlight outside.
"Okay, half an hour then."
He stared at the clock on the wall.
Jiang Cha put down the dagger and began to give acupuncture to his grandson.
He watched Jiang Cha's technique carefully. Every shot of Jiang Cha was steady and accurate.
Time passes by every second.
He swallowed nervously.
Finally, half an hour passed.
The man who had been sleeping in bed for five years, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes...
