Chapter 46: Gusu's Infatuation

  Beijing Cooperative Hospital, Ouyang Yun and Chu Tiange walked into Bai Liusu's ward under the leadership of Chen Jiayao. After two weeks, the four people reunited, and many stories happened on Ouyang Yun and Chu Tiange. Ouyang Yun was fine, an old slicker on the battlefield - but Chu Tiange was different, after being tempered by blood and fire, there were more angular things on his body, in Chen Jiayao's words, he looked more like a man.

  Bai Liu's wounds on his body had healed, and there was more color in his face, but both hands were still wrapped in thick plaster casts, suspended on either side of the bed.

  Looking at the worm on his face, Ouyang Yun smiled and put the flowers in her hand on the bedside table, saying: "One person per room, not bad conditions."

  Since the three of them came in, Bai Liuxu's face had been faintly pale, seemingly neither happy nor worried. Upon hearing his words, she glanced at Chen Jiayao and a hint of complexity flashed across her face as she said, "Thanks to my two good sisters."

  "Little sister, since we're sisters from the same family, why are you still being so polite?" Chen Jiayao said with a smile.

  Ouyang Yun and Chu Tiange looked at each other, then asked: "What's going on? Have you two sworn an oath of brotherhood?"

  Chen Jiaoyao smiled quietly and said: "Yes."

  Ouyang Yun smiled, revealing two rows of big white teeth, and asked: "Who is the other one?"

  "You've seen it before, Tian Ge is still familiar with it."

  Chu Tian Ge rubbed his head and hesitantly asked: "Someone I'm familiar with? Who could that be?"

  "Pan Mei Ren ah."

  "Pan Mei Ren?" Chu Tian Ge smiled and said: "Very familiar."

  Ouyang Yun's eyes were met with a blushing face, and he suddenly said, "It's her. Hey, thanks to you two, Flowing Silk has been a real nuisance this time." After finishing speaking, he felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit off, looked at the two people standing beside him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

  Chu Tian Ge smiled and said in a low voice: "Liu Su, big brother, are you two very familiar?"

  A faint red glow appeared on Bai Liu Su's face, but it disappeared in an instant.

  Chen Jiayao looked at her sworn little sister and then at Ouyang Yun, a rare sly smile on her face.

  Ouyang Yun's face turned red, knowing that these two had measured his heart with their own. He said irritably, "I'm telling you two, please don't think wildly, okay? Liuxu's injury has a direct relationship with me, I... this is self-blame." After finishing speaking, he himself felt the reason was forced, so he said, "This is an elder brother's concern for his younger sister, what do you two understand?!"

  Chu Tian Ge burst out laughing and made a silly face at Chen Jia Yao, saying: "Alright alright, we don't understand, can we just drop it now?"

  Bai Liu Su seemed like an outsider, his face had been calm since the red glow dissipated, and he hadn't shown any ups and downs. Suddenly, he asked Ouyang Yun: "Has the liaison officer from the new faction of the headquarters found you?"

  Ouyang Yun was startled, and only then did he realize that he had another identity in front of Bai Liuxu. He thought of the pile of treasure and couldn't help but feel a little worried, shaking his head and saying: "No, has he looked for you?"

  "She came just a few days after you left, and with her was someone surnamed Huang. The one surnamed Huang said he's the wild chicken," Bai Liu Su said, staring tightly at his eyes.

  Ouyang Yun's hands subconsciously clenched into fists, and after a moment of thought, he calmly replied: "I'm an imposter."

  Bai Liu Su shifted his gaze, as if he had expected it all along. After a while, he said: "You'd better be careful, Gu Lian Yun is my senior sister, her skills are far superior to mine, and she has received training from the Special Affairs Department."

  Ouyang Yun only then realized that this contact was actually a woman. He asked: "Have they been giving you any trouble?"

  Bai Liu Su looked at him with a slightly complicated gaze and shook his head saying: "No, I said that sum of money has already been handed over to you."

  "Thank you," Ouyang Yun said solemnly. After a moment's thought, he added, "Don't worry, I will use those things in the right place."

  It wasn't until now that they noticed they were wearing military uniforms. Bai Li Su asked: "Were you originally a soldier or did you just join recently?"

  "Recently."

  Since they started talking, Chu Tiange and Chen Jiayao had been quietly watching them because they couldn't understand what was being said. Now, Chu Tiange smiled and said: "I forgot to introduce you, my older brother is now the Lieutenant Colonel of the 29th Military Academy."

  Chen Jiayao looked at his badge and asked: "What about you?"

  Chu Tian Ge's face turned red, but the next moment, he puffed out his chest and said: "Junior Lieutenant Squadron Leader, how about it? Doesn't this military uniform look great on me?"

  Chen Jiayao let out a "heh" and laughed, scolding: "You're just flattering yourself!"

  Chu Tian Song hehe smiled.

  Ouyang Yun had been silently watching Bai Liusu, when he suddenly spoke up and said: "First, take good care of your injuries. Once you're healed, follow me around, Shen Ge and the others are all good men, they didn't finish what they started, let us, the living, help them complete it - The Japanese are still rampaging on Chinese soil, but some people are only thinking of solidifying their own positions." After he finished speaking, his mouth curled up, revealing a hint of mockery.

  Bai Liu Su let out a soft sigh and didn't say anything. Her gaze turned towards the window, her eyes gradually becoming distant, as if she had thought of something.

  After the student troops settled down in the Wanping military camp, Ouyang Yun went to see Bai Liusu at the first time, and then rushed to the "Ghost House" from the hospital. After re-hiding all the gold, silver, calligraphy and painting, antiques in the basement, his anxious heart finally calmed down completely.

  It is said that one does not know the value of oil and salt until he becomes the master of a house. Now, as the commander of the student army, he has also tasted the benefits of having money. To let him give up this batch of wealth would be even more difficult for him to accept than taking his life.

  The emergence of Gu Lianyun was a variable, having received training from the Special Operations Division and being Bai Liusu's senior sister. He was familiar with Bai Liusu's skills, although his strength was not up to par, he had many small tricks up his sleeve, especially that corrosive powder - every time he thought about those Japanese ronin and ninjas ending up with their flesh mixed with feces, he felt a chill run down his spine. Ah, speaking of which, this guy was also ruthless and merciless, otherwise he wouldn't have killed the Japanese people, causing them to cry out in "tragedy" and "incidents". However, compared to Bai Liusu's tactics, he thought himself to be quite kind-hearted. Of course, if he had corrosive powder on his hands as well, it was unknown how much of his kindness was genuine. It was estimated that the Japanese people would absolutely not believe he wouldn't use such a primitive yet extremely ruthless "biological weapon".

  It was past eleven at night, in the dormitory of the Wanping Military Academy, Ou Yang Yun crouched under the lamp, staring blankly at a large pile of calligraphy and antiques in front of him.

  This person is completely inexperienced in this area, looking at one painting and then another, picking up a tripod, although knowing that they may be valuable, but truly valuing them is beyond his grasp. He had originally thought of using Chu Tian Ge's connections to invite an expert from Qinghua University to appraise them, but remembering that many were stolen by the notorious thief Bai Liu Su, he worried that if he got caught, not only would he lose the goods, but also be labeled as an accomplice to a great thief, which would greatly damage the good image of his school's military team. After much internal struggle, he didn't dare take the risk and was deeply troubled, even considering burying them to avoid future troubles.

  On the table next to him, a handheld computer was already open, but unfortunately it contained only information about people's livelihoods, economy, military and so on, with no mention of antiques or calligraphy, which was of no help.

  The computer took a long time to boot up, and Liu Lao Tou came out for another stroll. Facing the elderly's nagging teachings, Ouyang Yun couldn't help but want to ask him if he recognized her several times. Fortunately, she didn't reach the point of being possessed by madness, opening her mouth several times, only to end up with a helpless bitter smile. Then, she silently warned herself: "Kid, in this time and space, the only one you can really rely on is yourself. Everything should start from scratch again!"

  Suddenly, he found that the chirping of insects under the window had stopped. After a moment's pause, he quickly rushed to the door, pulled it open and rushed out.

  Tonight, the eleventh of April on the lunar calendar, the moon in the sky is slightly waning, and the moonlight casts a hazy glow over the entire barracks. Under these conditions, it's extremely difficult to hide in an open area like this military camp. Ouyang Yun rushed out of the house door, his right hand grasping a steel needle at the first moment, his eyes scanning towards the camp gate, seeing two sentries standing upright at the entrance, and quickly turning around to look at the rooftop.

  There was indeed someone on the rooftop, but had already reached the end of the barracks. Ouyang Yun saw the opponent's graceful figure flash across the rooftop and disappear behind the house, vaguely guessing who it might be, and gave up chasing - from the opponent's shadow, it should be a woman, so it is very likely that it was Gu Lianyun mentioned by Bai Liusu - as Bai Liusu's shifu, her lightness kung fu was naturally not bad.

  Ouyang Yun turned back into the house, quickly putting away those paintings and whatnots, then decided that starting from tomorrow night, she would wear a gas mask to sleep every night.

  For a master like Gu Lianyun, the sentry's role was almost negligible. With the existence of bulletproof vests, he wasn't afraid of being assassinated by his opponent. However, when it came to things like ***, he couldn't help but be cautious, especially that bone-eroding powder. Heaven knows what would happen if he smelled it... He recalled the outhouse in Ghost House and shuddered, forcing himself not to think about it anymore - Ah! If he thought about it any further, heaven knows whether he could still sleep soundly tonight.
