Chapter 112: Breaking the Heavens

He Yuzhu followed the figure ahead unhurriedly, when the man suddenly stopped and looked around vigilantly.

Seeing no one nearby, he let out a sigh of relief, pulled a cold steamed bun from his bosom, and began to wolf it down.

Like a night cat, He Yuzhu leaped down from the wall with agility and landed silently in front of Liu Xiaohua.

Liu Xiaohua was so startled he staggered, and the bun in his hand nearly fell into the snow.

"Brother Liu, long time no see." He Yuzhu brushed the snow foam off his hands.

Liu Xiaohua was shocked at first, then gave a bitter smile, "The moment I see you, I know I can't escape." He continued to gnaw on the bun as if it were his last meal before execution.

"You're really boring; I'm not here to arrest you."

Liu Xiaohua swallowed the food in his mouth, stuck out his thumb, and praised: "You kid are tougher than me. I was furious when I saw that military truck hit someone, but I couldn't do anything and didn't dare to intervene."

"They have sent many experts from Nanjing, all to catch you. You cannot stay in Si Jiu Cheng. You must leave."

Liu Xiaohua gave a bitter smile, his voice filled with despair: "My address has been marked, and now I don't even have any money left. Where can I go?"

"You're still being polite with me." He Yuzhu pulled a heavy money bag from his bosom, the clinking of silver dollars ringing out clearly in the silence.

"Can you let me go? Will that Liu Rusi spare you?" Liu Xiaohua looked at him vigilantly, his eyes full of suspicion.

He Yuzhu chuckled, "I am only interested in her as a person; I have no interest in her organization."

"Where are you going to send me?"

"I won't speak in riddles. The Communist Party has been asking me to find you. I didn't want to help them before because I was concerned about your thoughts. Now that you are working against the Military Statistics Bureau, I understand. I can send you to the Jidong Guerrilla."

Liu Xiaohua pondered for a moment, a flash of determination in his eyes, "I'll listen to you. However, there is one more person I must kill before I leave."

"Tell me who it is, and I will help you."

"Wang Yongchun, Section Chief of the Intelligence Division of the Military Statistics Bureau Beiping Station."

"Give me the address."

"He escaped death last time, and now he has many people protecting him. Can you do it?"

"We leave now. I will kill him, and tomorrow I will take you to the guerrilla unit."

"I want to go see an Old Beggar. Last time I was frozen stiff, he saved me," Liu Xiaohua said suddenly, a rare touch of warmth appearing in his eyes.

"Let's go." He Yuzhu nodded, and the two figures disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Half an hour ago, Sanya and Ertou were struggling to drag Erlengzi through the snow, a bright red trail of blood marking a jarring path on the pristine white snow.

Sanya finally could not hold on any longer; she let go of Erlengzi's hand, squatted on the ground panting heavily, sweat sliding down her forehead.

Just then, Datou ran back in a hurry and was stunned to see this scene: "What is going on? Erlengzi was fine just a moment ago, how did he end up like this?"

Sanya was so anxious she was about to cry, speaking incoherently: "Datou, you... hurry and carry Erlengzi on your back, we must leave quickly! That kind big brother... killed someone..." She quickly recounted what had just happened, her voice filled with anxiety.

After hearing this, Datou's face turned deathly pale: "It's over, the officers will definitely come looking for Erlengzi. We must leave here immediately!"

"But Erlengzi was the one hit! Why would the Black Dog come looking for him?" Ertou asked, puzzled, while wiping the sweat from his face.

"Are you stupid?" Datou stomped his feet anxiously, "If they can't catch that big brother, they will definitely kill us to silence us and cover up the case." He squatted down, hoisted Erlengzi onto his back, and the three of them stumbled forward.

They soon arrived at a dilapidated shack with wind blowing in from all sides.

After Sanya explained the situation of Erlengzi being hit, the Old Beggar lying there opened his eyes and took a look.

Sanya hurriedly helped him up and said: "Siqiang, Erlengzi is about to die, please take a look at him!"

The Old Beggar got up and cursed: "Stinky girl, you're the one always finding trouble for me."

"Siqiang, this kid was sent flying by a car!" Ertou described.

The Old Beggar took Erlengzi's pulse and muttered to himself: "This kid really has an iron-forged body. His internal organs are all displaced, yet his pulse is still normal. No wonder someone calls him Erlyu! However, his brain might not remember things from before... Sanya, take out my needles."

Sanya quickly took out a needle kit from a small bundle on the kang and opened it.

The Old Beggar instructed: "Pierce the Baihui Point, Fengchi Point, Tianzhu Point, Houding Point..."

Sanya skillfully inserted the silver needles into the acupoints, her technique so proficient it didn't look like that of a child.

Before long, Erlengzi slowly regained consciousness and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Old Beggar gave his back a hard slap, and only then did Erlengzi slowly wake up.

"Who are you people?" Erlengzi asked blankly, his eyes unfocused.

"I'm Ertou, do you still recognize me?"

Erlengzi shook his head and suddenly clutched his head: "I'll go pick up firewood right away, Dad, don't hit me!"

Ertou patted his head and said: "Siqiang, didn't you say he doesn't remember things? How come he still remembers his stepfather hitting him?"

The Old Beggar sighed: "This, this, I don't understand either. Memory is such a thing, who knows which meridian is clear and which is blocked?"

"The memory of his stepfather hitting him might be too deep," Ertou laughed, "I really wish he would forget it."

Just then, He Yuzhu pushed the door open with Liu Xiaohua.

Their sudden appearance left everyone in the room stunned.

Sanya lowered her head in embarrassment and whispered: "Big brother, I... I lied to you just now."

"It's alright," He Yuzhu said gently, "Big brother is good friends with this uncle. You cannot stay here; you must relocate. The Black Dog will investigate this matter immediately."

The Old Beggar said in a dilemma: "But we have nowhere to go."

"I have a place to arrange for you." He Yuzhu looked at Erlengzi lying on the pile of straw, "Is this the child who was hit? Can he survive?"

Sanya nodded: "Erlengzi can live, he has a strong body."

"Surviving shouldn't be a problem," the Old Beggar sighed, "it's just that his brain might have some issues."

"Let's relocate quickly." He Yuzhu took out a few Big Ocean coins and placed them on the kang, "Sanya, you take your Siqiang and leave together. Take a rickshaw to Nanluoguxiang 91. I will take Erlengzi."

After speaking, He Yuzhu squatted down, carried Erlengzi on his back, and strode outside.

Liu Xiaohua followed closely behind, and the two figures soon disappeared at the end of the alley.

At this moment, police sirens were already sounding on the street, and a large number of Police began to investigate the incident.

Some military personnel also drove over in military trucks.

At the same time, the telephone in Shen Shichang's mansion rang incessantly.

He sat slumped in his chair, his face pale.

Suddenly, the telephone rang again, and he mechanically picked up the receiver, from which came the angry roar of Dai Laoban: "Old Shen, what on earth is going on in Beiping! First there was an explosion, and now someone has killed members of the American Advisory Group. I can no longer suppress this matter; the Principal is already furious, and the culprit must be found within seven days! Otherwise, both you and I will be in serious trouble!"

Shen Shichang hung up the phone, his hands trembling slightly.
