Period drama: Old Cao's carefree life

Chapter 159 Running Away with a Beautiful Woman on His Back
Having changed his clothes and put on a face mask, Cao Weida quickly arrived at the place where the gunfire was loud. He climbed onto the wall and peered out from the eaves into the field.

One of the groups, unsurprisingly, was the Japanese, numbering about ten, who were slowly advancing in a fan-shaped formation, providing cover for each other.

On the other side, there were three people, two men and one woman, who were hiding in a corner of an alley and fighting back.

What drove the three to despair was that the alley was a dead end, completely impassable.

What's even more disheartening is that the woman seems to have an injured calf; she leans against the corner of the wall, propping herself up on one leg and occasionally extending her pistol to fire.

Two of the three men exchanged a few words and then spoke to the woman. The woman took something out of her pocket and handed it to one of the men. After exchanging a few words, the two men rushed out one after the other without hesitation.

After the two rushed out, the woman provided cover fire regardless of her own safety, while also drawing the attention of the Japanese soldiers.

With the woman providing cover, the two men ran swaying from side to side, returning fire as they went. Surprisingly, their marksmanship was quite good, and they killed the two Japanese soldiers on the spot.

After returning fire with a burst of bullets, he quickly darted into the alleyway near the entrance.

However, one of the men was unfortunately shot in the chest just as he was about to rush into the alley and was clearly going to die.

The remaining man, seeing his companion hit, showed no hesitation and dashed into the alley without looking back, disappearing from sight.

"Baka!! Baka yarou!!"

One of the Japanese soldiers, who looked like a sergeant, roared and shouted something in Japanese. The remaining Japanese soldiers then turned their attention to the dead end.

bang bang bang~~
Kaka~~
The click of the pistol going out of its chamber made Liu Rusi's heart sink. She quickly reached into her pocket, only to find it empty.

As the Japanese soldiers drew ever closer, Liu Rusi couldn't help but feel despair.

Tonight, they came to deliver intelligence, but the nighttime curfew in Beiping is very tight these days, and they were discovered by a sentry.

Eager to transmit intelligence, they could only fight and retreat, but were cornered by the Japanese soldiers who surrounded them from all sides.

There were originally eight of them. After a firefight, although they killed more than a dozen of the enemy, only three of them remained. She was also shot in the leg and had no hope of escaping.

Now, she is all alone here, her gun is empty, and all that awaits her is capture alive.

The thought of the unbearable ordeal she would face if captured alive made Liu Rusi tremble. She couldn't help but regret not saving one last bullet for herself!

As the Japanese soldiers drew ever closer, Liu Rusi trembled with fear. Dragging her injured left leg, she struggled to move backward, as if this could bring her a sense of security.

On the eaves, because of the dim light, he could not see the woman's appearance clearly, but since they were both anti-Japanese fighters and compatriots, he naturally could not stand by and watch her fall into the hands of the Japanese devils.

Having observed the situation on the field, Cao Weida pulled out his StG44 assault rifle, leaped a few times, and silently appeared on the rooftop behind the Japanese soldiers, firing down at them from his elevated position.

Da da~~ Da da da~~ Da da da~~
The two sides were very close, less than fifteen meters apart, so the accuracy was naturally very high.

A burst of bullets swept through the Japanese soldiers from behind, catching them completely off guard. Several Japanese soldiers were riddled with bullets before they could even react.

"Baga! Enemy attack!"

The remaining three Japanese soldiers were terrified and were about to scatter to find cover and fight back, but how could Cao Weida give them the chance?

He threw the scorching hot assault rifle into the space, quickly took out another one, and fired a burst of shots at the Japanese soldiers in the field.

Da da~~
Da da da~~
Da da~
Two magazines of bullets were fired in quick succession, killing all the Japanese soldiers, including the sergeant.

"What a loss." Cao Weida felt a pang of heartache. He had already met his KPI for the day, and killing these Japanese devils wouldn't count as part of his KPI.

Hearing the commotion outside, Liu Rusi was stunned for a moment. After guessing what was going on, she dragged her injured left leg to the alley entrance.

Just as she expected, all the Japanese soldiers who had surrounded them had been killed, their bodies lying haphazardly on the ground.

She looked up and saw a person completely clad in black night clothes calmly changing bullets into a gun on the roof not far away.

The rumors circulating in her mind immediately came to mind: a mysterious man using an assault rifle had appeared in Beiping, once carrying out an assassination attempt at the entrance of the Yangtze Dance Hall, and another time attacking a Japanese outpost.

The gun in the other party's hand was one she had never seen before. Combined with the gunshots just now, she immediately judged that this person was the instigator of those two incidents!
She didn't know which side this mysterious man belonged to, but she knew he was her only hope of survival.

The gunfire here is so clear, and given how much time has passed, the Japanese reinforcements must be arriving soon.

If we don't leave now, once the Japanese reinforcements arrive, we won't be able to leave even if we want to.

However, with her left leg injured, she absolutely could not escape on her own, and all her hopes were pinned on the mysterious person opposite her.

With that thought in mind, she endured the pain in her calf and started running towards the other side.

Unfortunately, as soon as she stepped out of the alley, she fell to the ground without the support of the wall. The violent movement aggravated the wound on her leg, and a piercing pain made her let out a muffled groan.

Cao Weida, who was on the roof, leaped down to the ground. Upon approaching and seeing the woman's face, even he, who had seen many beauties, couldn't help but be amazed. The woman had an oval face and very beautiful features. She was already quite beautiful, but now, due to the pain and blood loss from her leg injury, her face was pale and her lips were dry, which added to her delicate appearance and made people feel pity for her and want to take good care of her.

Seeing her fall to the ground and unable to get up for a moment, he quickly stepped forward and helped her up. "Miss, are you alright?"

"It's alright, I can still hold on, thank you so much." Liu Rusi shook her head, her face pale, and gritted her teeth, trying to stand up. "The Japanese reinforcements are coming soon, we must leave here immediately!"

"Let me carry you on my back; you can't walk fast like this."

"No need. If you carry me, neither of us can walk fast. Help me find a place to hide, and then you can leave quickly."

As for whether this mysterious person will be found after she escapes, that's up to fate.

"Don't worry, I'm pretty strong. Your weight won't affect me much. Here, let me help you."

"This"

Cao Wei Da urged, "Stop with the 'this' and 'that'! We don't have much time, hurry up!"

Liu Rusi gritted her teeth and finally climbed onto Cao Weida's back. If she could get far away from here, she naturally wouldn't want to stay in this area.

After all, even if she escaped the search, if her leg was shot and not treated in time, she would eventually get a fever and be consumed by the disease.

Feeling the elasticity of her back, Cao Weida became somewhat distracted. He had to admit, this girl had a really good figure, and most importantly, it was incredibly bouncy.
He grabbed her thighs with both hands, pushed off with his feet, stood up, and ran into a nearby dark alley.

Feeling the burning sensation on her thigh, Liu, who had never had intimate contact with a man before, miraculously blushed on her originally pale face.

The tingling, numb sensation made her tremble slightly, and a strange feeling made her feel like ants were crawling on her body.

But this is not the time to be coy. No matter how embarrassed you are, you can only grit your teeth and bear it.

Just then, shouts from the Japanese soldiers came from the street behind them.

Cao Weida turned his head and saw three Japanese soldiers with rifles chasing after him from a distance.

"Take this for self-defense. If there are any Japanese devils nearby, just shoot!" Cao Weida changed his left hand from supporting his thigh to supporting his buttocks, and pulled out a Browning pistol with his right hand and stuffed it into her hand.

Of course, this is not the kind issued to the police station; all the guns in the police station are registered.

"Ah!" Liu Rusi exclaimed, then quickly covered her mouth, her face already flushed even more.

This was no time to worry about such things. She gripped the Browning pistol tightly, and with the gun in hand, her courage grew considerably.

Just then, two Japanese soldiers carrying rifles darted out from the alley on the right. Cao Weida grabbed the StG44 assault rifle from his chest and immediately opened fire on the Japanese soldiers.

Da da da~~
The two Japanese soldiers fell to the ground immediately, clearly not going to survive.

Cao Weida, who had killed two Japanese soldiers, did not stop running at all. Instead, he ran faster out of the alley and darted into another alley.

Even carrying someone on his back, Cao Weida still ran incredibly fast. The Japanese soldiers chasing him were less than 1.5 meters tall, so how could they possibly catch up with Cao Weida?

After wandering through three or four alleys, the Japanese soldiers were completely lost.

On the other side, Feng Qingbo, carrying classified information, stopped after confirming that there were no pursuers. She looked back in the direction she had come from and suddenly felt empty inside.

He scratched his head painfully, gritted his teeth, and left the place.

In his view, Liu Rusi had either committed suicide or been captured at this point.

Regardless of the outcome, it will be an extremely painful experience for him.

However, he couldn't care less about that now. He knew very well that he had to return to the safe house immediately, pass on the message, and then quickly abandon it to lie low and wait for new instructions from his superiors.

After running for nearly twenty minutes, Cao Weida had already carried Liu Rusi far away from the gunfight location.

The woman behind him lay limply on his back, her breathing weak; he knew this was a sign of excessive blood loss.

"Young lady, how are you feeling right now? Do you know any shady clinics?"

At this time, the hospital must have been under martial law, and many of the people inside were either turned to defect or were spies planted by the Japanese.

Gunshot wounds are so sensitive that they can't be treated at major hospitals; only unlicensed clinics are relatively safe.

However, it cannot be said for sure that illegal clinics are safe; there might be Japanese soldiers watching the area.
