"Big brother, what should we do?" Big Farmer panicked.
"Hurry up and hide!" Zhang Lin waved his hand, signaling Big Farmer to hide in the kitchen. Big Farmer turned around and ran.
" Dong, dong, dong." The knocking on the door became louder, but there was still the sound of knocking on the door and no shouting. Zhang Lin knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He calmly said," I'm coming, I'm coming." He walked over calmly, removed the wooden board, and prepared to open the door.
As soon as the bolt was pulled out, there seemed to be something very heavy leaning against the door. The door was pushed open at once. A man covered in blood fell at the door. His upper body had entered the door, but his lower body was still outside. He had already fainted. This gave Zhang Lin a fright. At this time, the sky was almost bright. With the help of the morning light from the east and the street lamps, he saw that this person's clothes were very familiar. He boldly reached out and pulled the man's back to his body to take a look. It was Yashuo. What was going on? When he left the house, he was still fine. Zhang Lin felt that his hand that had touched Yashuo's back was covered in something. At a glance, his hand was covered in blood. Experience told him that Yashuo's back had been shot. Without a word, he quickly dragged Ya Shuo into the door. As he closed the door, he shouted Big Farmer's name. When Big Farmer heard Zhang Lin calling him, he quickly ran out and saw this scene.
After locking the door, Zhang Lin asked Big Farmer to help carry Ya Shuo to the brick bed in the inner room. He asked Big Farmer to boil a basin of hot water and let Ya Shuo lie on the brick bed. He quickly cut Ya Shuo's coat and found that the upper left side of his back was indeed shot. Blood stained his back. Zhang Lin took out a pair of tweezers, burned it, wiped it with alcohol, and took out the bullet with a scalpel and tweezers. He put it into the iron plate with a bang. Big Farmer brought hot water and wrung the steaming towel dry. They gently wiped the blood around the wound and applied medicine. Then, they helped Zhang Lin wrap the gauze around Yashuo. Only then did the two of them heave a sigh of relief.
"How could he be injured?" Big Farmer asked.
" It's very likely that he was beaten up by the spies who chased you. If that's the case, then we've implicated him." Zhang Lin blamed himself.
"Big Brother, let's ask him when he wakes up. It's almost dawn now, and we haven't slept all night. Let's go take a nap."
Zhang Lin nodded and left with Big Farmer.
The next day, the steamed bun shop was open for business as usual. Breakfast time passed, and the steamed bun shop became a little quieter. The waiters cleaned up the leftovers and chopsticks, and there was nothing unusual. The big farmer was helping out in the kitchen, and Zhang Lin was sprawled on the table in the room writing something. Suddenly, he heard a bang in the room next door as if something had fallen to the ground. He seemed to know what had happened and quickly put down his pen to go into the room. He saw that there were broken pieces of a cup on the ground.
" Big brother, I…I want to drink a cup of water. I didn't hold it properly." Ya Shuo was weak and his lips were dry and white.
"Aiya, brother, you're awake. Don't move. I'll get you some water. Just call out." Zhang Lin picked up the broken pieces on the ground and turned around to get a cup of hot water.
"Brother, don't move. I'll help you up."
"Thank you, Big Brother. Aiyo!"
Yashuo leaned against the headboard and drank a mouthful of hot water." Brother, you're quite strong. You were shot last night and you're awake today. Do you want to eat something? I run a restaurant here and have everything."
Ya Shuo smiled and said weakly," I like to eat big brother's Xiaolongbao."
" Hehe, alright. I'll get someone to make you a bowl of soup with dough lumps," Zhang Lin said and went to work.
After a while, Big Farmer came over with steaming soup dumplings and dough dumpling soup. He placed the tray on the table near the head of the bed and said," Eat quickly." He smiled and took the dough dumpling soup very enthusiastically.
Ya Shuo was about to use his left hand to take the bowl, but his left back was injured. The pain from lifting his arm was excruciating, and the expression on his face was very painful. Big Farmer looked at him and said,"Is it because your back is injured and you can't lift your arm? I was like this last time too. I need to rest for a few days. Let me feed you." As she spoke, she was about to use the spoon to feed Ya Shuo's mouth.
" No, no." Ya Shuo shook his head like a rattle-drum." A man feeding another man, what's the big deal? You should bring the plates over and put them on my lap. I can eat with my right hand, not my left."
" Sure." Big Farmer placed the tray on the table on Ya Shuo's lap. Ya Shuo's left arm didn't move, and he used the chopsticks and spoon in his right hand. It didn't take long for him to finish his meal.
Zhang Lin had come in at some point, as if he knew that Yashuo would have finished eating and had deliberately chosen this time to come in. As soon as he entered, Zhang Lin sat on the bed and asked about what happened last night.
Ya Shuo thought for a moment and started to explain,"Last night, I left the shop and kept walking east. I thought the spies had gone far away, but who knew that I would meet them in Yongle Alley in front. They seemed to be looking for Big Farmer, but they couldn't find him, so I hid in one of the alleys. I suddenly remembered that Big Farmer and I were about the same height and build. If they thought I was Big Farmer and shot me, they would mistakenly think that Big Farmer was dead and would not chase after him in the future. So I looked at the street lights in the alley and took the opportunity to run. As I ran, a shadow flashed across the ground. The spies saw the shadow on the ground and quickly found me, so they chased after me. There were many alleys in Yongle Alley. The spies became anxious after circling around a few times. They fired directly at the back. I dodged a few fatal shots and deliberately took this non-fatal shot. After that, he ran into an unknown alley and saw that the wall of a house was not high. He turned over and entered the courtyard of the house and hid in the latrine. It just so happened that the family was at the end of the alley. The spies thought that I had left the alley and entered the street, so they chased after me. I stayed in the outhouse for a long time and lost a lot of blood. I was afraid that I would lose too much blood, so I tried my luck and came out from the door of that house. Fortunately, I didn't encounter any spies again. I thought that it was just close to Brother Zhang's shop, so I stumbled all the way here.”
" Brother, we've implicated you." Zhang Lin was touched and held Ya Shuo's right hand tightly.
"Big brother, don't say that. This is a good thing. If the spy shot me, he would definitely think that I was dead. For the time being, he would not chase after Brother Danong.”
" Brother Yashuo, it's all my fault. You're injured." Big Farmer was so touched that his nose was sore.
"Hehe, don't cry. I'm not dead yet, and you're out of danger.”Ya Shuo was a little energetic after eating and started to be mischievous again.
"Big brother, I knew I wouldn't misjudge you. You're definitely reliable. It's been hard on you, brother." Zhang Lin held Ya Shuo's hand tightly in excitement. Ya Shuo could not help but cry out in pain. Zhang Lin then realized that he was a little too excited and apologized repeatedly.
"By the way, brother, you're too bold. If he shoots you in the vitals, won't you lose your life? That will make us feel guilty for the rest of our lives.”
"Big brother, don't worry, I know what to do.”
"Oh? Oh right, you said that you dodged a few fatal shots and took this shot on purpose, right?”
"Yes." Ya Shuo smiled smugly." I will listen to the sound of the bullet flying over and determine where the bullet will hit.”
"What is it? Brother, do you have the ability?" Zhang Lin's eyes widened, and the farmer was dumbfounded.
"Hehe, that's nothing. I heard from my grandfather that my great-grandfather was a soldier and could catch bullets flying at him. I only know how to listen to movements.”
Zhang Lin stood up from the bed. He looked at Yashuo as if he was looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was saving people from distress. He suddenly felt that this person did not need to test his faith anymore. In terms of character, he could block a bullet for Big Farmer. In terms of ability, he could hear the sound of the bullet flying over and determine where it hit. With such character and ability, it was not easy to find someone to train for a few years, especially with his ability. Many people would never be able to hear the sound of a bullet flying even after practicing for their entire lives. This was a talent. Seeing his great-grandfather catch a flying bullet, he knew that this kid's talent was not bad.
Zhang Lin couldn't wait any longer. The higher-ups wanted him to hand over the talents that could be cultivated as soon as possible. If he missed out on Ya Shuo now, he would never be able to find such talents again. He knew that if Ya Shuo was used by the enemy and became his enemy, then an enemy with such ability would be very terrifying. Thinking of this, Zhang Lin didn't say anything else. He went forward and held Ya Shuo's hand again, saying,"Brother, you actually have this ability. Have you ever thought of using this ability to do something for the country?”
When Ya Shuo heard Zhang Lin's words, he knew that things were progressing according to his plan. He replied without hesitation,"I've long wanted to do something for the country, but unfortunately, there's no way out. I don't know who to rely on.”
Zhang Lin was overjoyed when he heard that. It was really a gift from the heavens."Brother, it's fate that you and I know each other. If we can have the same goal and help each other, it will definitely deepen our friendship and benefit mankind. Are you willing to follow me, your big brother?”
Ya Shuo was happy to hear that. He would soon be able to complete the mission he had discussed with Azurepeak--to find the underground party organization. During the war, he could use financial and material resources to support the underground party and contribute to the country. Therefore, he was so excited that he even forgot his pain and asked,"What are you doing?"
Steamed Bun seller Zhang Lin was filled with joy.
When Ya Shuo heard this, he was like a deflated balloon. He thought that he had taken a bullet for Li Danong and even exposed his family's ability. Seeing how touched Zhang Lin was, he should have directly revealed his true identity. He did not expect that he would still hide it from him and not say that he was an underground party. This ginger was still older and wiser. Thinking of this, Ya Shuo's face revealed a disappointed expression. He seemed to be in a dilemma and kept asking himself if this shot was worth it.
Zhang Lin seemed to see Ya Shuo's dilemma, but he was not sure what Ya Shuo was thinking, so he asked tentatively,"Brother, what's wrong? Are you not happy to sell buns to me?"
