===========================

On July 8th, the hot wind in Guangdong was blowing, and the bare streets were covered with a few patches of pale green, and the sharp cicadas could not break through the suffocating air.

Shen Xu came by train for a few days, and Zhao Yue couldn't take it anymore, and his whole body was already exhausted.

They bought tickets for third-class carriages, and the train was crowded with people, crying children, adults shouting and cursing, and some people brought chickens and ducks.

Shen Xu sat upright, as if he was not affected at all, just looked down at the book in his hand quietly.

But on the day he arrived in Guangdong, his face was already pale and he couldn't eat at all. Shen Xu vomited upside down in the hotel until there was nothing to vomit, it was all green bitter water.

Zhao Yue was so frightened that he wanted to rush to find a doctor, but was stopped by Shen Xu.

"I'm fine." Shen Xu's stomach twitched with pain, he was leaning on the wall, his waist arched like a bent crossbow, his hands were trembling, and his lips were frighteningly white.

"Sir, you..." Zhao Yue didn't understand, and was about to persuade him, but was interrupted by Shen Xu.

"I said I'm fine." Shen Xu said in a low voice.

Zhao Yue really didn't understand that Lido's business was in good condition. Excluding the budgeted arms expenses, there was obviously a large amount left. Why was it so?

Shen Xu straightened up slowly, leaning back on the wheelchair: "Tomorrow, I will make an appointment with Mr. Clyde to discuss the munitions. I have something to do this afternoon, so you don't have to follow me."

"You're already like this, what are you going to do?" Zhao Yue asked anxiously.

"It's very important to buy something." Shen Xu said, pushing the wheelchair out the door.

Zhao Yue also had no choice but to sit down and sigh.

Shen Xu pushed the wheelchair and walked on the street, and many people beside him cast strange glances and pointed. He was used to it all along, he just bent his waist slightly, endured the twitching in his stomach, and pushed the wheelchair hard and fast.

After walking for a long time, Shen Xu's hair and back were drenched with sweat, and finally he saw the jewelry store by the side of the road.

He gasped for breath, feeling overwhelmed by discomfort, his breathing was already a little rough, his chest was congested, he frowned, his hands were holding on to the armrest of the wheelchair, and he couldn't get over it for a long time.

Under the scorching sun, Shen Xu walked slowly through the door.

Probably due to the hot weather, there were basically no customers in the store, and a few shop assistants were sitting together, and when they saw Shen Xu coming in like this, they all frowned.

"what happened?"

"Come to buy something?"

"It's not like that either."

Shen Xu was in a mess, but he looked at it seriously in front of the counter. No one came to entertain him, and he didn't care.

He looked quickly, as if looking for something, looked around, but he couldn't find it, then raised his head and asked, "Is that new bracelet still in stock?"

He raised his head and looked straight at him with a pair of eyes. His face was pale and a bit scary.

"...Yes, there is, but the price is probably a bit expensive, sir." There was a bit of contempt in the clerk's eyes.

"Please show me." Shen continued.

He took out a stack of oceans that he had prepared a long time ago and placed them on the counter.

As soon as the teller saw the large stack of foreign bills, his expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly called someone to get the bracelet.

Shen Xu watched as they brought over the bracelets, which were small and inlaid with gold and jade. The pattern was a pair of extremely small and delicate dragons and phoenixes, outlined by the gold wires, which was extremely beautiful.

His fingers gently caressed the pair of dragons and phoenixes, his rough fingers were out of place with this beautiful little thing. He carefully put down the bracelet again: "Wrap it up."

The clerks became more and more cheerful, and one of them came over to be nice and asked, "Is the sir sending a girl?"

The pattern of this pair of bracelets is dragon and phoenix, and they are usually bought by couples as gifts for their partners or wives.

"Sir must love Madam very much. Why don't you take a look at our rings. There is a new one, which is very beautiful and sells very well."

A pair of sparkling diamond rings were also handed to Shen Xu, and he was in a daze.

-it's beautiful.

Zhizhi's hands are white and slender, and they must be more beautiful when she wears them.

The brilliant diamond ring shone under the light, but Shen Xu felt that he was not worthy of buying it.

Even if he loves her to the bone, he still doesn't have the qualifications to love her. What if he doesn't achieve fame and fame, and still drags such a tattered body...

He looked at the pair of diamond rings, couldn't help stretching out his hand, and lightly touched the diamond with his fingertips, he lowered his eyes, but finally gave up.

"No, wrap the bracelet up." Shen continued.

The twitching feeling in his stomach became more and more painful, the clerk said hello, quickly wrapped the bracelet, and handed it to Shen Xu.

He carefully protected the bracelet in his arms, and slowly went out again.

As soon as Shen Xu returned to the hotel, he finally couldn't bear the vomiting. He threw himself in front of the sink, twitching and throwing up. From the throat to the mouth, there was only an astringent bitter taste. His face was uncomfortably pale, and his knuckles turned white as he grabbed the hand by the sink.

"Sir! Sir!"

Zhao Yue hurried out when he heard the movement, and saw Shen Xu who was no longer a human being at a glance. He hurried over: "I just said to call a doctor, and I'll go now."

"No, don't go..." Shen Xu whispered.

"You're like this..."

"There is no money." Shen continued.

"No money? But we obviously..."

"I bought something and ran out."

Zhao Yue couldn't believe it, he didn't know what Shen Xu went to buy. His eyes were sharp, and he saw the box in Shen Xu's arms after a while.

—Yes, jewelry box?

"Have you gone shopping for jewelry? Could it be that this jewelry is more important than your body?!"

"It's very beautiful." Shen Xu lightly stroked the jewelry box with his fingertips.

—There is a pair of dragon and phoenix... a pair, how nice.

He had seen it in the bulletin board of the Beiping newspaper before, and it was a new limited edition, only available in Guangdong, so he wanted to give it to Zhizhi, afraid that the limited edition would be sold out today, so he was a little anxious.

"For Miss Overseer?" Zhao Yue guessed.

Shen Xu nodded: "Don't worry, I have left the fare money."

Zhao Yue couldn't speak, Shen Xu pushed the wheelchair into the room, and pressed it under the suitcase, carefully and cautiously.

Zhao Yue sighed heavily.

Sure enough, it was for his sweetheart again!

Fortunately, the next day's talk about arms turned out to be extremely smooth, and the talk was concluded quickly. Zhao Yue got into the third-class carriage in fear, and it was obvious that by the time he arrived in Peiping, he seemed to be incapacitated.

Yao Zhi was reading a book in the room, when suddenly someone called her from Shen Xu's yard.

She poked her head to look, and saw a strange man standing in the yard with an anxious expression on his face.

Zhao Yue originally wanted to try it out, but he just heard from Shen Xu that he and the military governor were neighbors. When he saw the girl's face, he could immediately understand Shen Xu.

Half of the hibiscus curls open, such a beautiful girl, willing to just follow you like this, who would be willing not to be hurt.

He gave a brief overview of the situation, and Yao Zhi immediately became anxious.

That beautiful and charming girl actually jumped onto the wall in a few steps, and jumped off directly.

Zhao Yue was taken aback by her.

"Where's Brother Shen?" Yao Zhi asked anxiously.

"Ah...in the room, in the room." Zhao Yue pointed to the bedroom where Shen Xu was resting.

Yao Zhi ran over a few steps and pushed open the broken wooden door.

The boy closed his eyes, as if he was resting, his face was completely drained of color, his thin lips were tightly pressed, lifeless.

Yao Zhi's eyes were sour, and he quickly took out the silver dollar first, then turned around and told Zhao Yue to go to the doctor quickly. Zhao Yue responded repeatedly, and rushed out of the yard in a few steps.
