Chapter 59: Poking Through That Thin Paper
Qiu Yu Ying, hiding deep in the woods, saw that group of devils shoot and leave, and she started to play with Xin Yuan. She laughed "heh heh heh" and rolled around on the grassy clearing in the woods, and before she knew it, she had rolled onto Xin Yuan's body and was riding on his back.
Qiu Yu-ying was lying on Xin Yuan's body, with her arm around Xin Yuan's shoulder. Xin Yuan was used to Qiu Yu-ying's mischief and wasn't angry, so he lightly flipped his body, using a bit of force with both hands, and threw Qiu Yu-ying out, who rolled out very far away.
This time, Qiu Yu Ying volunteered to go with Xin Yuan to Cangmen City to inquire about the situation of Yuan Zhen. She wanted to take advantage of being alone with Xin Yuan to express her feelings. So, she thought of using physical contact to see how Xin Yuan would react. If both people had feelings for each other, the girl naturally hoped that the boy would make the first move. However, Xin Yuan was not affected by her intimate actions and remained calm as water, which made Qiu Yu Ying somewhat unable to hold back.
"Brother Xin, I'm just a girl, and I accidentally bumped into you. How could you be so rude and push me away like that? Have you been staying in the temple for too long and forgotten how to appreciate romance?" Qiu Yu'ying got up from the grass, brushed off the leaves and twigs, and pouted.
"Yu Ying, what's wrong with you? You're a girl, how can you say such shameless things?! You're so casual, I'm afraid no one will marry you in the future." Xinyuan stood up straight and brushed off the dirt on his body.
"Feudal mindset! Unenlightened! When two people are in love, of course they should be free to do as they please. Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were just like that, who dares to say they weren't proper? That's the eternal classic of love, don't you understand?" Qiu Yu'ying retorted.
As she spoke, her face suddenly turned red, and with a charming smile, she walked over to Xin Yuan's side. "Xin Gege, can I have an eternal classic with you too? Xin Gege, I like you!" Qiu Yu'ying was no longer shy, she boldly said it out loud, and even went to grab Xin Yuan's arm.
Xin Yuan suddenly did a few backflips, dodging Qiu Yuying's hands, then bowed down and made a deep bow to Qiu Yuying. "Yuying sister, thank you for taking me so seriously, but I already have someone in mind, she is my junior sister - Yao Fenglan." As he spoke, Xin Yuan took out a jade pendant from his pocket, "Yuying, look at this, it's the token of love given to me by my junior sister. I've sworn an oath to heaven, for this life and the next, I will only love Fenglan. Yuying sister, I hope you can understand." Xin Yuan held the jade pendant in his hand, gazing at it with deep affection, truly a devoted lover.
Qiu Yu Ying understood immediately after hearing Xin Yuan's words. Xin Yuan already had someone he liked, and secretly, they had exchanged tokens of their affection. Seeing Xin Yuan holding the token of affection, a jade pendant, with deep emotions, Qiu Yu Ying felt a pang of sadness in her heart. With tears in her eyes, she smiled bitterly and said "Xin Gege, congratulations on having found someone you like, I also wish you and your Shifu Mei happiness and fulfillment. Actually, having an older brother like you is already enough for me. Xin Gege, can you let me take a look at your jade pendant?"
Xin Yuan was very grateful to Qiu Yu Ying, thanking her for her understanding, and walked towards her with a smile, handing over the jade pendant. "Yu Ying sister, thank you for your understanding."
Qiu Yu Ying took the jade pendant and said, "What's there to thank? Look at you, silly, are you afraid I'll break you two up? Hmm, it's truly a priceless treasure. Then, Feng Lan sister, must be as naturally beautiful as this jade pendant, right? Too beautiful! Too beautiful! Such an expensive token of love must be kept safe, don't lose it, or Feng Lan sister will be disappointed. Hmm, let me take a look, wonderful things always come from nature, so let's return it to nature!" Qiu Yu Ying drew out the sound and made a throwing motion towards the distance.
"Don't... don't... don't throw it, please, don't throw it!" Seeing Qiu Yuying about to discard the jade pendant, Xin Yuan was so frightened that his words became stuttered.
"Hahaha, who knows, Brother Xin, I'm just teasing you! If I had thrown away your token of love, you wouldn't have hated me for the rest of your life, would you? I'm not that stupid. Letting you hate me, that's what's called asking for trouble! Here, Brother Xin, take it back, I've returned it to you intact. From now on, if anything goes wrong, don't blame me!" Qiu Yuying was amused by Xin Yuan's expression and burst out laughing, laughing so hard she couldn't straighten her waist.
"Fall down!" Xinyuan clearly heard that the sound of horseshoes "got got got" came from afar and near on the small road outside the forest.
Xin Yuan has been practicing "Floating Extreme Fist" for some time, and the benefits are not shallow. This set of fist techniques not only has good combat effectiveness but also has a strong health effect. After a period of practice, Xin Yuan's eyes and ears became more sensitive. Therefore, Xin Yuan could hear the sound of horse hooves from very far away.
Xin Yuan dragged Qiu Yu Ying, and the two of them fell backwards into a thicket. Before long, they saw a Japanese soldier riding a sorrel horse galloping down the small road, rushing towards Cangmen City.
"Yu Ying, sister, we must hurry to Cangmen City and find out which hospital my sixth brother is being held in. After that, we can make a plan for the rescue. Let's go!" Seeing the Japanese soldier on horseback running far away, Xin Yuan got up with a flip of his body.
Qiu Yu Ying was no exception, a carp jumped up and stood upright.
"Xin Gege, what about those Japanese soldiers' marching packs?" Qiu Yu Ying pointed to the several Japanese military backpacks they had placed behind the tree cluster.
"Open it and see if there's anything we need inside," said Xin Yuan.
Qiu Yu Ying pulled out a dagger and cut off the strap of a military bag, opening it.
There was only a blanket and a pair of combat boots in the military bag. Qiu Yu Ying opened another military bag, inside which there were three Japanese women's kimonos besides a blanket. Qiu Yu Ying weighed them in her hands and wanted to throw them away.
Xin Yuan hastily stopped "Yu Ying, sister, even if we disguise ourselves as women, it's not easy to sneak into Sixth Brother's hospital. Perhaps these Japanese kimonos will come in handy for us, let's keep them."
"Brother Xin, are you saying that if we disguise ourselves as Japanese women, we can freely enter and exit the hospital where your Shifu's brother is being held?" Qiu Yu Ying was overjoyed after waking up to Xin Yuan Tian's words, and quickly put on a Japanese kimono. "Brother Xin, take a look! Do I look good? Do I resemble a Japanese woman?"
"Haha, exactly! However..." Xinyuan furrowed his brow.
"But what?" Qiu Yu Ying asked with sparkling eyes.
"But you have to learn how Japanese women walk, otherwise, even if you dress like a Japanese woman, you'll still be recognized." Xīn Yuán said, taking out a set of Japanese women's kimonos and putting them on. "Look, Yù'ēng little sister, you have to walk like this: upper body leaning forward, waist and back arched, head bowed down, eyes looking straight ahead, hands clasped in front of the chest, taking small steps, feet moving quickly. How's that? Do I look like a Japanese woman?" Xīn Yuán demonstrated for Qiū Yù'ēng.
"Haha, Brother Xin, you're really something. You can dress up as anything and look just like it, I have to admit. With this outfit, you absolutely look like a Japanese beauty. However, the three kimonos are all the same color, so we can't tell them apart. Alright, let's do what you say, each of us will take one, and throw away the other one," said Qiu Yuying.
