"Cough cough, it hurts so much, let's go to the hospital quickly!" Yue Zhuoqun propped himself up and went to pull Bo Qiaomu.
Bo Qiaomu's chest bled when it was torn, not a lot, but it hurt.
After getting up, he said to Yue Zhuoqun, "Captain, something's not right! We both took a bullet yesterday, how come we're still awake?"
The wound doesn't hurt particularly much. Could it be that the person died, but their soul hasn't been taken away by the Black and White Impermanence?
Yue Zhuoqun also found it strange, but he had a shadow, so if he had a shadow, he wasn't a ghost.
"Let's go out first and find a living person to test the waters!"
Bo Qiaomu nodded and followed Yue Zhuoqun, looking around.
Unfortunately, it was still early and there were no pedestrians on the road.
The production team, which was supposed to set off for the city at this time, was also crying out in despair because they had lost their cattle.
The two unfortunate brothers had to rely on themselves and stumbled along for more than an hour.
Exhausted, he arrived in the county town and saw people leaving. He reached out his hand for help: "Old..."
乡！
Take me to a hospital!
Help me contact my family!
I will repay you handsomely if you save my life!
Unfortunately, he only managed to utter one word before he fainted.
Not just one person was dizzy, but two.
Both of them had bloodstains on their chests, some dried and some newly blooming.
"Ah, someone's dead!" The old lady who was emptying the chamber pot early in the morning shouted, and the neighbors came out to see what was going on.
"Where? What's going on? Good heavens, is that a gunshot wound? Call the police immediately!"
The onlookers sprang into action, and within minutes, the police officers locked the office door and rushed over.
Upon closer inspection, hey, I recognized them from the meeting a couple of days ago: "These are members of the militia from our production team. Everyone, please help us get them to the hospital!"
Upon hearing that he wasn't a bad person, the onlookers showed unprecedented enthusiasm.
Some people lifted their arms, others searched for door panels, and before long, they got the person to the hospital.
The doctor examined the wound, shook his head, and said they were not capable of performing the surgery and that the patient should be sent to the city.
The police officer became anxious: "They both suffered gunshot wounds. If they are delayed until they arrive in the city, will they even survive?"
The doctor remained calm: "With injuries this severe, he should have died long ago. The fact that he's lived this long means he must have been protected by something."
I advise you to send him to the city as soon as possible.
The police officer hesitated for two seconds, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go get the car right away!"

Meng Peiyu rested until mid-morning, then thought about organizing the supplies so she could go to the black market that night to exchange them for some money and real food.
As I was organizing things, I realized something was wrong.
"Huh, where are the corpses I brought in?"
After searching around and not finding them, he asked directly, "System, where did those two go?"
"Host, the system has automatically cleaned up the junk for you! How does it feel? Isn't the space much cleaner and tidier?"
Meng Peiyu nodded: "It's definitely not as annoying anymore! I didn't sign in today, but I'll sign in now, I need rice, flour, and cooking oil!"
"Congratulations, host! You have obtained 100 catties of water celery and 100 catties of soybeans with stalks!"
Meng Peiyu: "......"
"I want a staple food, a staple food!"
"Sorry, host, supplies are random!"
Meng Peiyu was already used to this feeling of frustration. She took a deep breath and said, "Fine, fine, at least I can eat!"
At noon, the group sent Sang Sheng out to scout the situation.
Although the people in this county had heard about the murder at the farm undergoing renovation, they didn't really feel it.
After all, they're so far away; if the murderer were to flee, they wouldn't run to this remote corner. They'd see the wanted poster and forget about it.
Sang Sheng's appearance aroused no suspicion. He even went to the state-run restaurant to buy lunch without any hesitation.
When the steaming hot braised pork appeared in front of them, they all subconsciously swallowed.
"Peiyu, you eat first!" At the crucial moment, Meng Hongsheng broke the silence.
Meng Peiyu didn't stand on ceremony. She took a small wooden bowl and scooped out about half of it: "You can divide the rest among yourselves!"
Liang Fanqi pouted, though she dared not voice her opinion.
Meng Guohao and Meng Linyu were cowards and didn't think there was anything wrong with dividing the money this way.
After finishing their meal, the group of people rested in various crooked positions.
Meng Peiyu, however, was suffering from insomnia. Every time she closed her eyes, Chen Junyan's image would appear in her mind.
"System, do you think he'll resent me?"
"Commander Chen and the host are deeply in love and will surely understand your predicament!"
"But I can't live with him anymore! I was reborn to make up for the regrets of my past life. I..."
As Meng Peiyu spoke, she began to cry: "Junyan is such a good person, I can't bear to part with him..."
The system remained silent until she finished crying before saying, "It's all fate!"
Meng Peiyu's eyes hardened: "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. One day, the heavens will be on my side!"
"Host, haven't you ever thought about turning back before it's too late?"
"I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I go back to shore? Do you know why happy people are happy? Because they fight and compete!"
The system was speechless for a moment.
"Alright, let's rest for a bit. We'll be on the road again when it gets dark." Meng Peiyu said, forcing herself to close her eyes.
However, by evening, she changed her mind.
"Dad, Mom, you go first. I'll make a call and catch up right away!"
Meng Hongsheng became wary: "Making a phone call? Who are you going to call?"
"Don't worry about it, just follow the road I pointed out. Don't stop, Sang Sheng and I will catch up as soon as possible!"
"Daughter, you can't act impulsively these days. If the police or soldiers spot you, you'll be in big trouble!"
"It's okay, I can handle it!"
Meng Peiyu was determined to call Chen Junyan, and seeing this, Meng Hongsheng had no choice but to let his family leave first.
"Guohao, hurry up and catch the carriage!" He didn't want to stay behind and be buried with them.
Meng Peiyu didn't mind. She waited for more than half an hour after they left before walking towards the post office with Sang Sheng.
"Miss, are you sure you want to reveal your whereabouts?"
"I want to talk to Junyan!"
"This is dangerous!"
"Don't worry, you're here!"
Sang Sheng smiled wryly, thinking to himself that he wasn't omnipotent.
He exposed his identity and lost his job because of Meng Peiyu. If he gets caught, he will definitely be executed.
But he couldn't refuse at all, and he didn't know what Meng Peiyu was doing. Whenever he dared to resist, his head felt like it was going to explode.
He had considered assassinating her, but that was a completely impossible path. The mere thought of danger tormented him to the point of near death.
Sang Sheng felt that being a spy in Meng Peiyu's eunuch position was truly frustrating.
Besides him, there were many other agents controlled by Meng Peiyu.
Sang Sheng felt that if things continued to develop like this, Xiao Zixing could become a vassal state of Meng Peiyu.
Fortunately, she didn't have any ambition to dominate the land of cherry blossoms.
I walked and thought along the way, and after about twenty minutes, I arrived at the post office.
Sang Sheng presented a letter of introduction: "Comrade, I need to make a phone call!"
"Please go ahead, sir!" The staff member made way for him to dial the number.
At Meng Peiyu's prompting, Sang Sheng dialed the military region's phone number.
After being transferred, someone picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this, and who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I am Yue Zhuoqun from the Northwest Huangshan Brigade. I need to speak with Regiment Commander Chen Junyan!"
"Okay, I'll go and get Commander Chen to answer the phone. Please call back in ten minutes."
