Chen Canaan said, "I dreamed that you told me that you were leaving for a faraway place and would never come back."

Jovian looked at his ghastly white face in the dim light of the candle, somewhat unsure.

Chen Canaan gasped and continued, "Said that there would be another person to replace you by my side, and then ...... I watched you disappear."

Because of the loss of blood and the extreme weakness of his body, it was obvious that he was still struggling to speak, and he was already panting a bit after saying this.

Qiao Wen was suddenly stunned, and after a moment, he curved his lips and smiled softly and laughed, "Brother Nan, I'm here."

Chen Canaan held his hand with slightly more strength, his tone somewhat despondent, "Yes, you're still here." Then one pair of eyes looked around the unfamiliar surroundings with difficulty and asked again, "Where are we now?"

Qiao Wen said, "When we were escaping last night, we came across a village in the mountains, the people in the village were very nice and took us in for the time being, so you get well and when your body gets better, we'll go again."

Chen Canaan nodded slowly, "Xiao Qiao, why do I feel a little cold."

Qiaowen had felt the hand holding him like ice, and touched his forehead again, and sure enough, it was also slightly oozing with cold sweat. The night in the tropical jungle was actually sweltering hot, this was a reaction to the loss of blood and weakness.

He covered him with a thin blanket and lay down next to him, reaching out and carefully hugging his shoulders, "Nan, I'll hold you, I won't be cold if I hold you."

Chen Canaan leaned her head toward his neck and closed her eyes reassuringly.

Qiaowen silently gazed at his face, a sudden wave of fear welling up in his heart.

Almost, just a little, the young man before him had perished because of the plot he had disrupted by his arrival. He was but nineteen years old, and had done nothing evil, much less had time to enjoy the pleasures of money, and did not deserve such a fate.

Luckily.

He breathed a deep sigh of relief, reached out and touched Chen Canaan's hair, and slowly fell asleep as well.

Chen Canaan practiced boxing from a young age, practiced a body of copper and iron bones, get up earlier than the chicken every day to sleep later than enough, full of energy can be called perpetual motion machine, long so many colds have not been born a few times, this time it is a long and honest sleep, just sleep has been not too stable, frequent and repeated a dream, dreaming that Qiaowen said that he was going to a faraway place, come to say goodbye to him.

He asked him where he was going, and the other man just smiled and shook his head, saying he was grateful for his years of care and telling him to be precious.

Originally this was a sad scene, but because Xiao Qiao in the dream, always with a gentle smile on her face, even the usual sadness between her eyebrows disappeared, apparently with gladness to say goodbye to him.

So this dream doesn't seem to be a nightmare.

So Chen Canaan couldn't be saddened by this, just couldn't say whether it was loss or disappointment, and finally unified into bewilderment.

He opened his eyes in this great daze, jerked his head up and heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of the familiar back in the doorway a few steps away.

Little Joe is really still around.

He slowly lay back down, staring silently at the unfamiliar beams above him, his memories from before he passed out coming back a little. He remembered very clearly how they escaped, and also remembered that he was shot in a gunfight and firefight, and it was Qiao Wen who fetched the bullet for himself.

What happened after that, he barely remembered.

As if remembering something, he gritted his teeth against the pain and raised his upper body slightly, lifting the hem of his T-shirt up to look at his injured abdomen. There was a circle of gauze wrapped around it.

This bandaging skill is far better than Uncle Wah's Mongolian doctor.

The expression of Qiao Wen at that time appeared suddenly in his mind, his brother who was afraid of even killing chickens and fish since he was a child, but there was no panic, only calmness and decisiveness.

He let out a small breath, Little Joe was truly different.

He lowered the hem of his coat and lifted his head, for his movements were so light that the few people at the door did not perceive that he had awakened, and were still talking and laughing.

Three big men were helping Ajiao choose vegetables at this time - of course, at this time, Chen Canaan didn't know that Ajiao was called Ajiao, and only knew that this young girl should be the one who saved them, and also the owner of this house.

I don't know what Ah Zhi said, but Ajiao suddenly giggled, that honey-colored face was simply radiant, a pair of big dark eyes, but did not look at the talking Ah Zhi, but shyly and timidly kept staring at Qiao Wen.

Qiaowen, facing the girl's gaze, was surprisingly comfortable, and even courtesy generally also smiled at people all the time.

Chen Canaan coughed lightly.

Several people turned around following the sound, and Qiao Wen even put down the wild vegetables in his hands and hurriedly walked into the house, "Brother Nan, are you awake? How do you feel?"

Having been hit by a bullet, this certainly didn't feel very good, but fortunately, Chen Canaan thought of himself as a hard-blooded man who wasn't afraid of pain, so he calmly shook his head, "I'm fine."

Just as he tried to stand up, his abdominal wound was pulled, and he let out a ghostly howl of pain.

Qiao Wen was busy holding him and said, "Don't move, you are not lightly injured this time, and we don't have any good medication, if you don't recuperate properly, be careful of inflammation and infection."

With that, he reached out to touch his forehead and was relieved to see that there was no fever.

Chen Canaan said, "I think I'm fine."

Jovian said, "You don't think it's going to work, anyway, listen to me and be honest for a few days."

Jiang Yu Feng poked in a large, well-defined face from the doorway and laughed, "Ah Nan, this time we were able to escape successfully, you made a big contribution, when we return to Hong Kong City smoothly, Brother Feng will surely thank you properly."

Chen Canaan rubbed the back of his head, "I just hope that Master Leopard and Brother Fei don't find me in trouble again."

Jiang Yu Feng said, "That's for sure, if Fei finds you in trouble, you don't have to do anything, I'll go and clean him up."

Chen Canaan smiled, "Thank you, Brother Feng."

Jiang Yu Feng also laughed: "What are you being polite to me for, we are now friends for life, as long as we are in Hong Kong City, you and Ah Wen will be under my protection."

Chen Canaan smiled and nodded.

Jovian also gave a heartfelt smile.

This trip to Vietnam, although it is dangerous, but as long as you can go back smoothly, even if Chen Canaan this gunshot wound, it is definitely not in vain.

Although Jiang Yu Feng is also a vicious gangster, but he is upright and righteous, and probably forced to go down this road. In the future, with him as a backer, at least in the city fortress days do not have to worry about.

While thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Chen Canaan's abdomen.

The thought of the previous night's thrill was still quite a bit of a shock. Maybe there was just a hair's breadth of difference, and this guy's little life could have been buried in the tropical jungle.

He admitted the price was a bit steep.

He had raised his head to look at Chen Canaan, although this guy still had a pale face, but his expression was already back to its usual hangdog, clearly putting the matter of a foot into the ghost gate behind him.

Qiao Wen couldn't help but admire his open-mindedness. Of course open-mindedness was just a nice way of putting it, objectively speaking, this should be called lack of heart and lungs.

But it's always good to look beyond that.

People of their origin, if they couldn't see past it, would probably have a hard time being happy, like little Jovian in the original.

Chen Canaan is a nature that can't stay still, when he was asleep he was still able to be honest, now that he woke up and slept for so long, even his toes are moving.

Whereas others are better off with their wounds, he's already not caring when the wounds are there.

However, Qiao Wen, in conjunction with Jiang Yu Feng and Ah Zhi, had placed a strict grounding order on him, determined not to allow him to move out of the confines of the ground floor.

He tried to resist, but was immediately subdued.

Ajiao had made breakfast, and the aroma of the hot noodle soup was overflowing.

Since Chen Canaan could barely take care of himself, Ajiao purposely gave him a small wooden stool to put his bowl on, while the others feasted around the table.

Ajiao was a passionate girl, and was especially enthusiastic about Qiao Wen. Although she needed Chi to act as an interpreter, it didn't affect her interest in communicating with Qiao Wen at all.

Ah Zhi at first also conscientiously acted as a translator, but at the back is really can not be tensed, even the tone of voice began to table change flavor, pointing to a plate of fried fish on the table, said, "Ah Wen, Ajiao asked why you do not eat this fish, is it because you think it is not tasty?"

Said with a deliberate wink and a wickedly teasing face.

Qiaowen was calm, not embarrassed by such prodding, but just picked up a piece of fish and put it into the bowl, saying, "It's delicious."

Seeing this, Ajiao simply stretched out her chopsticks and took another piece and sent it into his bowl, gibbering.

If it wasn't for the fear that the girls would be embarrassed, Chi simply couldn't help but laugh as he said, "Ajiao said to eat more since it's delicious."

Jovian smiled at the girl across from him and nodded "Thank you."

Chen Canaan, who was eating alone within the confines of a floor bunk, gradually couldn't help himself when he saw this image.

Xiao Qiao had originally been shy about talking to girls, but now he was actually eyeballing a big girl. This is not good.

The wounded man, who could not bear to be cold-shouldered, let out an ouch and put down his chopsticks.

Several people looked toward him in unison.

"What's wrong? Nan." Jovian asked.

Chen Canaan sucked in cold air and said, "It hurts, the wound hurts as soon as the hand exerts force."

When Qiao Wen heard this, he busily picked up the bowl in his hand and took a big gulp of the soup, then put the bowl down again and wiped his mouth, "You guys eat, I'll go feed Nan."

Jiang Yu Feng said, "Why don't I do it?"

Jovian shook his head, "No no no."

Chen Canaan looked at his eyes and said, "You bring your bowl over and just eat it while feeding myself, don't let it get cold."

Qiaowen thought about it, so he moved next to him with his bowl, and the two of them sat on opposite stools, while the other four remained seated around the table.

Chen Canaan half leaned against the wooden wall behind him, enjoying Qiao Wen's attentive service, revealing a face of satisfaction, and not forgetting to take two bites before reminding the other party, "Eat yourself."

Jiang Yu Feng looked at the two guys and shook his head in amusement, "Pro-brothers aren't as affectionate as these two boys."

Chi chimed in with a smile, "Indeed, my brother and I have been fighting since we were kids, and now we don't even get in touch a couple times a year."

Chen Canaan said rather proudly, "That's because Xiao Qiao is good, I love him, or else you'll see my stupid cousin Howie, who hates to let me beat him up every three days."

Qiao Wen lost his smile, "Alright, you also behave yourself in these few days and honestly recuperate from your injuries."

"Copy that."

Jiang Yu Feng laughed lightly and said, "I don't know if Ah Wen is well-behaved or not, but this trip out, let me see the ability of this Ah Di of yours, I originally thought that he was just a timid and weak child, I didn't realize that it was a deep hide, you have such an Ah Di is considered your good fortune."

Qiao Wen said in a faint voice, "Brother Feng is overrated."

Chen Canaan was so proud of himself that he reached out to reach his shoulder, but unexpectedly before he touched the person, he tore the wound on his abdomen and let out a strange cry in pain.

Jovian frowned and snapped, "I told you to be honest."

Chen Canaan vainly shrunk his neck, sighing: "Do not say, the taste of this shot is really a little addictive, and so back to the city walled enough for me to brag about our class of four nine children for a while."

Jovian drew down the corners of his mouth breathlessly.

Ajiao couldn't understand what a few people were talking about, but about guessed that the protagonists of this topic were the injured Chen Canaan and Qiao Wen, so she listened extraordinarily attentively, especially when Qiao Wen spoke, she smiled and stared at him, as if she could understand the meaning by looking at the person.

Qiao Wen didn't feel anything about such a gaze, but Chen Canaan was a bit like an enemy.

After a full meal, the wounded man who had been shot recovered most of his spirits, however, due to the ban, he could only stay honestly in the house, and then watched as the three men were led by Ajiao to wander around the village.

"That ...... I think I can also walk." Seeing that a few people had already gone out of the threshold, the people inside the house finally couldn't help but shout.

Jovian turned back toward the man who was ready to climb up and reached out with a pretty face, "Stay still!"

"Oh." Chen Canaan could only endure the pain and honestly shrink back.

This small village is only a dozen families, are simple wooden houses, the whole village is only thirty or forty people. Seeing them a few strangers, the villagers are kind and enthusiastic look, looks very simple folk, as if it is really a peaceful and tranquil paradise.

Even Jiang Yu Feng couldn't help but sigh, "It's rare to have such a fast place to live in isolation in the midst of war."

Ajiao led a few people around, ready to hit the road back home, however, walked a few steps, suddenly perceived something wrong, turned back to look, but saw Qiao Wen stood in place, looking at the side of the two men rubbing grass rope out of focus.

She opened her mouth and gabbled, Qiao Wen didn't react as if he hadn't heard, or Ah Zhi translated in Chinese, "Ah Wen, did Ajiao ask you what you were doing? Why don't you leave?"

Qiao Wen returned to his senses and smiled as he stepped forward to follow a few people, saying, "It's just that I think your village is quite nice."

Chi truthfully translated for Ajiao, "Wen thinks your village is very nice."

Ajiao nodded and looked at Qiaowen with a smile as bright as a flower.

Ah Zhi gently pushed Qiao Wen with his elbow and said with a bad smile, "Ah Wen, I think this Ajiao sister really has a crush on you and wants you to stay as a door-to-door son-in-law."

Qiaowen lost his smile, "Don't talk nonsense, ask them for me when they moved into the village?"

Chi asked as straight as he could, and after getting Ajiao's answer translated it to Qiaowen, "Said it was over a year ago."

Jovian nodded thoughtfully, secretly surveying the passing villagers as he walked.

He had originally thought that his village was really what Ajiao had said, that it had come here to hide from the war, and dared to accept them, the unidentified Chinese, simply because of the simplicity of the people. But just after a turn, he realized that something was not quite right, and as to what was wrong, he did not dare to be too sure for a while.

All in all this village should not be that simple.

He pondered while not moving to look at Ajiao who was chattering with Chi, a seventeen or eighteen year old girl who, in addition to being hardworking and enthusiastic, seemed to be particularly capable, almost a bit too capable.

Perhaps his gaze lingered too long, in the end it was perceived by Ajiao, the two pairs of gazes couldn't help but collide, and the girl smiled shyly, looking not unlike a young girl in her prime.

This image fell into the eyes of Jiang Youfeng and Zhi, both of whom couldn't help but look like Qiao Wen.

However, this teenager who upset the young girl's heart was always calm and collected, as if he didn't know that he had gotten into peach blossom debt.

Jiang Yu Feng was aware that Qiao Wen was good-looking, but in the past, he only thought that he was a child, or a timid and sickly child, and that no matter how beautiful he was, he had nothing to do with romance. Nowadays, it seems that this latter boy will only be a scourge to many girls in the future - well, boys are also possible.

In fact, it had only been out and around for an hour, and when he returned to the house, Chen Canaan, who was alone, was already on the verge of revolting.

Ah Zhi looked at him like he had a nail in his ass and came over to him to tease him, "Ah Nan, I'm telling you, your Ah Di is being looked at by Ajiao's sister, and he might want him to stay here as a house son-in-law."

Chen Canaan spat at him, "Let your mother's bullshit go! My Ah Di is only eighteen and has a great future in Hong Kong City, how can he stay in this mountain cranny to be someone's son-in-law of the mountain gate."

Zhi was sprayed with spittle by him, reached out to wipe it off, and said with a speechless face, "I was just joking, why are you still cursing?"

Chen Canaan rolled his eyes and said, "It's okay for you to joke about me, but not Xiao Qiao's."

The corner of Chi's mouth twitched and said, "I've never seen one as protective of his brother as you are."

Chen Canaan said, "This life of mine was saved by Xiao Qiao, of course I have to protect him."

Chi nodded, "That's true."

The two were laughing and joking when they saw Ajiao carrying a basket that seemed to be going out to pick wild vegetables. She walked up to Qiao Wen, pointed to the bamboo basket at the crook of her elbow and gestured a few times, Qiao Wen nodded knowingly and stood up.

The two men in the room just watched as the two of them left in the company of a lone man and a woman, abandoning even Chi, the interpreter.

Chi spread his hands with a beaten face, "See, it's not me who's talking nonsense, is it?"

Chen Canaan furrowed one pair of handsome eyebrows, revealing a thoughtful expression.

For the next two days, in addition to solving his physical needs, Chen Canaan remained trapped in the palm-sized floor bunk, and was at most allowed to move slightly in the sun at the entrance.

So he could only watch as Qiao Wen followed Ajiao to go picking and catching fish, and after dinner they even went to the village together to hang out and consume their food. The two people who obviously did not speak the same language were able to get past Ah Zhi, the translator, and were able to communicate roughly by hand gestures.

Chen Canaan looked so anxious.

These two are comparable to the cowherd and the weaving maiden, there is no chance in a million, he can't let Qiaowen's love affair open in the deep mountains of this Vietnam, and he can't harm the good girl who helped them.

So in the afternoon when the two of them came back from outside, Ajiao went to the kitchen to cook, Qiao Wen went back to the house to rest, and Chen Canaan, on the pretext of going to the convenience, furtively called on Chi and pulled the person into the kitchen.

Ajiao, who was making a fire, saw the two men come in and bloomed into a smile as she asked, "Something wrong?"

Chi turned back and looked at Chen Canaan with a wooden face and said, "Ask you what for?"

Chen Canaan cleared his throat and said, "I'm Xiao Qiao's brother."

Chi froze slightly.

Chen Canaan urged, "Hurry up and translate."

Chi did as he was told, uncertainly.

Ajiao smiled and nodded.

Chen Canaan said, "When I'm healed, we'll have to go back to Hong Kong City, my brother has a job back home, it's impossible for him to stay in Vietnam." After saying that, he raised an eyebrow at Chi.

Chi continued to translate with a wooden face.

Ajiao is still smiling.

Chen Canaan gritted his teeth, "We appreciate Miss Ajiao's feelings for Xiao Qiao, but unfortunately, you and my brother are indeed destined for each other."

Chi looked at him in shock.

Chen Canaan said without changing his face, "Translate!"

Ah Zhi helplessly rubbed his nose and stiffly conveyed these words politely to the expectant Ajiao.

Ajiao froze slightly, then giggled, laughing so hard that both Chen Canaan and Chi were confused.

When she had laughed enough, Ajiao only opened her mouth again to say a string of words, and Chi nodded with a sardonic expression that looked as if she wanted to make a hole in the ground.

Then lifelessly, she turned her head to Chen Canaan and said, "Ajiao said that you misunderstood, she doesn't mean that to Wen, she's just curious as she's never seen such a beautiful boy before."

Chen Canaan looked at the girl who smiled at him with a frank face, and at this moment, just like Chi, he also hated to make a hole in the ground and turn away.

He glared hard at the innocent translator, "It's your fault for always talking nonsense."

Ah Zhi is simply sinus, indignantly said, "I am just a bitter-sweet joke, how do I know you still take it seriously." Said and added through clenched teeth, "My face are lost to you."

The two men resentfully said goodbye to Ajiao and bashfully went back to the main house.

Although he had made a fool of himself at Chun Jiao's place, Chen Canaan still didn't feel comfortable with Qiao Wen, he thought about it and walked over to the other side to sit down.

Qiao Wen glanced at him and said, "Nan, don't jump around blindly, be careful of moving your wounds."

Chen Canaan said, "I feel like I'm fine already."

Qiao Wen was unimpressed with this, "Don't think that just because the bullet didn't penetrate your internal organs that you're fine, it's not certain if you'll turn around and leave aftereffects."

"It's fine." Chen Canaan waved his hand in a carefree manner, straightening his body to show that he was really unharmed, and then looked at him, testing in a low voice, "Xiao Qiao, what do you think of Miss Ajiao?"

Qiao Wen said, "Their siblings took us in and are our great benefactors."

Chen Canaan said, "Other than that?"

"Other than that?" Jovian turned his head to look at him curiously.

"That's ......" Chen Canaan pairs his fingers, "I see you and her are quite compatible, do you have something in mind for others?"

Qiao Wen froze for a moment and snorted out a laugh, saying, "Brother Nan, what are you babbling about? We're already like this, do I still have that kind of mind?"

Chen Canaan blinked, "There really isn't?"

Jovian stuck out a finger to poke him in the head, "Of course not."

????????????,????????:"????,????????????"

Jovian shook his head with a bemused look on his face.

Zhi on the side finally couldn't help but tell off, "Just now A-Nan even ran off to tell A-Jiao, in your brother's name, that you guys were destined for each other and told her to think about it."

Seeing Qiao Wen squinting his eyes towards himself, Chen Canaan pointed to the sky outside and looked left, "Xiao Qiao look, there are birds of prey eh, it seems like they've never even seen them before."

Jovian sighed at the two-hundred-and-fifty one.

But it was bittersweet, and at least slightly distracted from the grief of losing a brother and the aftermath of a close call.

Because Ah Zhi has just been dragged into losing face, he hated to spit some more with Qiao Wen, however, before he could open his mouth, Chun Jiao suddenly appeared in the doorway in a hurry, with an anxious face, "There are soldiers searching the fortress, if they see that you guys are Chinese people will be in danger, you guys quickly go to the hill behind the house and hide."
