Chapter Fifty-two Ambiguity

  "Have you practiced Iron Shirt or Golden Bell Cover?" Gu Lianyun lay on Ouyang Yun's bed, looking at the holes in his chest clothes and curiously asked.

  Ouyang Yun stood on one side, holding a dagger in his right hand and roasting it over the fire, without answering her words, saying: "I think you'd better come yourself."

  A flush rose to the woman's face, and she giggled, deliberately using a teasing tone: "What? Shy? Don't tell me you don't have any experience in this area."

  Ouyang Yun's eyes swept over the layers of cloth wrapped around her chest, and her face turned red as she hummed a sound, casting a slanted glance at her and saying: "Woman, don't seduce me, I'm not some gentleman, if I couldn't hold back and ruined you, this young lady, it wouldn't be good."

  Gu Lianyun's eyes narrowed, and there was a flicker in her gaze as she scolded: "What is this? You want to ask if I've had a man before? Are you saying that you really have feelings for me?"

  Ouyang Yun rolled her eyes and was about to say "stop showing off, you're being overly sentimental", but the words that came out of her mouth were: "So, how many men have you had?!"

  Gu Lianyun was furious, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, touching the wound, and she let out a muffled groan. She quickly relaxed her body, smiled and said: "This, I need to think carefully!" Saying that she needed to think carefully, her eyes stared unblinkingly at his eyes.

  However, Ouyang Yun's performance was a bit disappointing or unexpected. His eyes fell on the dagger and he said, "Hurry up, it will be overcooked if you burn it again."

  The woman thought for a moment, biting her lower lip lightly with her teeth. She pulled down the bandage on the injured area with her right hand, but perhaps it was tied too tightly or something was sticking out too much, and the effect was minimal. She winced in pain and stopped, saying: "You do it instead."

  Ouyang Yun looked over there, his gaze was dazzled by the spring light, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with an unrefined "gulp" sound, saying: "Let's cut it off first." Then he took out the military dagger from his body and gently inserted it about two inches in.

  The icy dagger pressed against the woman's softness, her whole body trembled involuntarily, and her gaze seemed to be dazed.

  Ouyang Yun's face began to sweat, he gritted his teeth and made a forceful cut, severing the bandage on her chest. He smiled and said: "Who would have thought that just a moment ago we were fighting for our lives, now it's like this." He took out a towel that had been prepared beforehand and stuffed it into her mouth, saying: "Bite down! If it hurts too much, just shout!" Then he let out a heavy sigh and inserted the dagger into the wound.

  Gu Lianyun was a woman, very beautiful and in her prime. Although Ouyang Yun had only cut off one-third of the cleavage, the fullness of her chest still overflowed with spring light that filled the entire room.

  This woman is no airport, obviously more turbulent than Ba Liu Su.

  Ouyang Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and Gu Lianyun's heart couldn't help but beat violently for a moment. However, the man's next behavior made her feel a bit curious, and that one sentence that seemed to be said unintentionally stirred up her imagination even more.

  "Ah! Just a moment ago, we were fighting for our lives, and now...now it's like this. If someone saw us, I wonder what they'd think? It's strange, why did I have to say that I've had many men just now? That perverted training, if I hadn't prepared some medicine beforehand, who knows what the outcome would be? Hmph! Those hypocritical instructors, when assigning training partners, actually fought over being paired with me. Do they really think they're cultivating elite special agents for the party and country? If I were just a simple, naive little girl, maybe I'd even have been deceived by these people... "Ah! Ugh!" A sharp pain shot through her, and she broke out in a cold sweat, involuntarily letting out a muffled cry.

  Ouyang Yun's face and body had been wet for a long time. This small operation, which he had done before, was now so laborious? Was it just because the other party was a beauty? But heaven have mercy, I'm not someone who hasn't seen beauties before, nor have I reached the point where I'd be dazzled by a sow. Alas, it's really embarrassing to say that at 21 years old, I'm still a...

  Finally, with a loud cry from Gu Lianyun, Ouyang Yun's right hand shook, and the bullet was picked out by the dagger. He felt a sense of relief, his body shaking violently, almost falling to the ground. "It's okay, it's okay, it's out, nothing's wrong!" He shook his head, quickly stabilizing himself, throwing the dagger and bullet onto the table, sprinkling the gold wound medicine on top, covering it with a small clean towel, then pulling up her lapel - unintentionally, his hand touched her skin, both of their bodies slightly trembling, then, without warning, their faces flushed.

  Ouyang Yun hastily withdrew his hand, took two steps back, and exaggeratedly said: "I'm exhausted, more exhausting than chopping off a little devil's head." Then he fell into the chair, panting heavily.

  The golden wound medicine made by the Tangmen was very effective, and when applied to the wound, it felt cool and refreshing. The pain subsided immediately. Gu Lianyun looked at the man sitting next to her who was panting, and softly said "thank you". Then she tidied up her clothes with her right hand and buttoned them up.

  Ouyang Yun stopped the sound of searching around her, then turned her head to look at her and said: "We can be considered as a draw, that last Japanese man, I actually didn't want to kill him."

  "Why?"

  "I've only been in Beiping for a few days, and the Japanese have already come knocking on my door. Ha! It seems their influence in Beiping is not to be underestimated. If I could just pry open that Japanese man's mouth from earlier, it would be great to take them all down at once!"

  "In that case, I reckon it won't be long before another 'He-Mei Agreement' comes out."

  Ouyang Yun looked at Gu Lianyun, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "You think further than me, no mistake, I almost forgot that the National Government doesn't dare to fight with Japan now. Hmph, Japanese people are like a dog that can't be fed enough, the more meat buns you give it, the bigger its appetite will become, in the end, eating meat buns becomes a habit, and it won't care how much wealth its master has."

  Gu Lianyun had been carefully sizing him up, and for some reason, the more she looked at him, the more pleasing he seemed to her eyes. Hearing him say this, she let out a "pu" sound and laughed, saying: "Your metaphor is quite unique, but also quite realistic. Hmm, when I came in, I saw you writing something - keeping a diary?"

  Ouyang Yun suddenly remembered his "penicillin", and when he looked, a thick stack was left with only a few intact sheets, the rest were either burned or blown to pieces. He got angry and cursed: "Damn it, I've been working hard all night for nothing!" He asked her: "Are you Liushu Shijie? Do you have that 'bone-eroding powder'?"

  "What's 'Ossein Powder' for?"

  Ouyang Yun widened his eyes and said: "The corpse of the little devil hasn't been dealt with yet, it's better to burn it directly and throw it into the thatched pit, it can be fat and fertile."

  "You're really ruthless."

  Ouyang Yun snorted and said, "Still not learning from your good master sister, humph, don't tell me you're preparing 'bone-eroding powder' to erode cats or dogs."

  Gu Lianyun smiled and took out a packet of medicinal powder from her body, saying: "Take a little bit from each corpse's wound and then throw it directly into the latrine pit."

  Ouyang Yun didn't reach out to take it, his words were cruel but in his heart he was a bit soft towards this thing, saying: "Are you okay now? You come instead, I'm not very good at using it."

  Gu Lianyun smiled and said: "Help me up."

  ……

  After dealing with the corpse of the little devil, the rooster had already started crowing at dawn. Ouyang Yun looked at the mechanical watch he had just bought and exclaimed: "My god, it's already past three o'clock! Ah, I have something to do tomorrow, I need to sleep." He looked at Gu Lianyun and saw that her spirit seemed fine, but thinking about it made him uneasy. He said: "You can sleep in my room, by the way, I have a bad habit when sleeping - if someone gets close, I might make some intense movements..."

  He hadn't finished speaking when Gu Lianyun laughed and said irritably, "Don't worry, who do you think you are? Cao Cao? Everyone wants your head - go to sleep quickly, I'm sleepy too."

  Ouyang Yun had never read the Three Kingdoms carefully, and was unaware of Cao Cao's dream of killing people. She listened to it vaguely, thinking that no matter what, having a female evil star by her side would be safe first, so she took Baozi into Bai Li Su's room, put on an anti-toxic mask before sleeping, and only then lay down on the bed with her eyes closed.

  Most people who have been special soldiers can develop a good habit, that is, no matter how bad the environment is, when it's time to sleep, they close their eyes and fall asleep in less than five minutes; and when it's time to wake up, they don't care about the thickness of their sleepiness, as soon as they open their eyes, they can be refreshed immediately. Ouyang Yun fell asleep in less than five minutes after lying down.

  Gu Lianyun wasn't as lucky as him, although she also wanted to sleep and recharge her energy. However, lying on Ouyang Yun's bed, she couldn't fall asleep at all. Tonight's experiences were a strange encounter for her. Originally, she was only sent to retrieve something for the organization, but first, she suffered an ambush after losing control of her horse, and then managed to turn the situation around with her wristwork. After that, she encountered Japanese people launching a sneak attack...

  She was eighteen when she left Sichuan, and twenty-one when she became an independent agent. By now, she had seen quite a few people, but Ouyang Yun was absolutely one of a kind. This person wasn't old, but his abilities weren't small either. What was rare was that although he had the usual bad habits men had, he could control them - this person would sometimes act like a soldier, sometimes like a hot-blooded youth, and sometimes like a pervert; at times, he would appear to be a humble gentleman, only to suddenly burst into curses, with a ruffian-like demeanor. It was laughable that despite being a demon who killed people like flies, he was actually timid as a mouse, and when facing this weak woman, he even wore a gas mask to sleep... Thinking of these things made her want to smile, and just as she was about to let out the laughter, she remembered her mission and realized that the other party was indeed a difficult opponent, making her feel somewhat annoyed.

  Get up and walk to the window, smell the smell of gunpowder and blood, the feeling of suffocation is getting heavier and heavier. She thought: Maybe she's not suitable for fighting and killing at all. Who doesn't want to find a loved one and live a peaceful life? Only, being in this country, living in this chaotic world, wanting to achieve this simplest wish is also an unattainable thing.

  On the desk in front of the window, several sheets of paper were scattered around. One of them had "Tomorrow's Schedule" written at the top. She glanced at it unintentionally and her eyes gradually became serious. Then she looked at a few other pages, didn't quite understand, and furrowed her brow.

  What kind of person is this Ouyang Yun anyway? She thought so, and a wave of drowsiness came over her, stretching her waist involuntarily...
