Chapter 2 Siege of Hangzhou

The ship running between Shanghai and Anqing is the Siming of the British Swire Company. The comprador on the ship is Xiao Jiaji. He was originally a rich man from Shanghai. Chun works as a teacher to learn English.Then he got to know "uncle" You Wu through his "mother-in-law" Grandma Qigu—he was called that way after Grandma Qigu's children, so he also had a relationship with the Cao Gang.However, like Hu Xueyan, he is an insider who understands the inside story of the "threshold", but is an "hole" outside the "threshold". In order for Zeng Guofan to send Li Hongzhang to lead troops to aid Shanghai, the Siming made several trips to Anqing.When things were over, it was already late autumn, and Xiao Jiaji had to find time to see Gu Yingchun.

Gu Yingchun was very proud, first cooperated with Hu Xueyan in the silk tea business, and made a fortune.When the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang changed drastically, the source of silk tea was interrupted, and the land was diverted to land management. As rich families fleeing for refuge, they flocked to the Shanghai Concession, and the land price soared, making their wealth more prosperous.Moreover, it is close to the water, and it is convenient to choose a site and purchase materials, so a very exquisite residence was built on the newly opened Erma Road.A family of three—Grandma Qigu gave birth to a son, but she used ten servants.

The relationship between their junior and junior has always been deep, so it is natural to talk about some gossip about the journey and the like first.After a few words, Grandma Qigu's voice was heard, and then she appeared in front of them, with heavy make-up, a big face in a silver basin, the white one was extra white, the red one was extra red, and she wore jewelry to show off, making it even more unstoppable. "Master is going out?" Xiao Jiaji stood up and greeted her. "Yeah, I have two relatives who came from afar and went to see the market in Shanghai. I went to foreign firms for a drive."

"Going for a drive in such a cold day?" Gu Yingchun interrupted her and said with a smile, "You are going crazy!" Gu Yingchun liked to catch the loopholes in his wife's words. Grandma Qigu was used to ignoring him, and she just continued to say: "Treat the guests to eat fancier at noon, and go to the Western circus in the afternoon. It has not been decided yet in the evening. Do you want to go to the circus?" have a meal together?" "No need! Go home for dinner tonight. Crabs are good these two days, I'll go get a basket of crabs." "Yes!" Grandma Qigu was very happy, "I haven't eaten a good meal of crabs this year." Then she sighed, "I was robbed! The army is in chaos, and the source of crabs has been cut off. It's really boring to be a man these days. "

"Okay, okay, don't be dissatisfied!" Gu Yingchun said, "You live in the barbarian field, you don't worry about clothing, you don't worry about food, and you say that being a human being is tasteless, so what about the people who are stuck in the long hair? " "It's just because someone is trapped in the long hair. The news is unknown, life and death are unknown, and it makes people worry about it. Therefore, it is tasteless to be a human being." As he said, his face was full of displeasure. "I don't care about that much anymore." Gu Yingchun said in a comforting tone, "Go for a stroll and relax, and come back to eat crabs at night."

Grandma Qigu didn't say anything else, and left with her head down. Gu Yingchun couldn't help feeling sad, "The situation is very bad." He shook his head, "I'm afraid Hangzhou will be over within a few days." "Where's Mr. Hu?" Xiao Jiaji asked, "I don't know how it is in Hangzhou?" "There is no letter." Gu Yingchun suddenly shed two tears, "Such a good friend, seeing that he is trapped in it, I don't know if we will meet again in the future. When I talked to your teacher's wife these two nights, it was all Couldn't sleep all night."

"A lucky man!" Xiao Jiaji comforted him and said, "I don't think Mr. Hu, regardless of his appearance, temperament, or behavior, looks like a person who has been robbed. Besides, with Mr. Hu's vision and thoughts, how can he sit in a city of sorrow and be helpless? " These few words are very useful, Gu Yingchun thought for a while, then nodded and said: "No matter what, I can't see that he is short-lived." After eating at Gu's house, the two juniors and younger brothers drove out together.Gu Yingchun sent him to the shipping company, and then he went to his real estate shop and sent an "old shop assistant" to buy crabs.

With this sentence, things will be easy to handle.The old steward was also very capable. He waited on the inland river wharf until a boat from Jiaxing brought over a dozen baskets of crabs. "Five qian silver a piece, no matter how big or small. This basket is thirty-two, especially for self-denial, it counts as fifteen taels of silver." "Fifteen taels of silver, and you still say self-denial?" "If you want it, don't drag it down. You have to know that crabs are not expensive in Jiaxing, and you traded your life all the way to Shanghai. Isn't it worth five cents a piece?" As he said, he was about to come to take back his stuff.

The old secretary was not willing to let it go, but he couldn't pay the price according to the amount. He took out twelve taels of silver and stuffed it into the owner's hand.This person refused to accept it, and quarreled softly, and the deal was made for fourteen taels of silver. Send the crabs to Gu's house, and Grandma Qigu just came home.Looking at the crab, I saw a golden hair with a purple back, which is very strong. It was taken out and placed on a smooth Fujian lacquer round table, with eight legs standing upright and running rampant everywhere.The old steward watched and swallowed involuntarily.

Grandma Qigu was kind by nature and knew how to be a human being. At that time, she said to the old steward: "I have bought too much. You can take a few to the shop and share with your colleagues to taste." When they came out, there were exactly five points and five balls, a total of ten, and they passed them over. The old Siwu refused to take it, but Grandma Qigu insisted on sharing it with everyone, so she had to take it back.Then he cooks himself, instructs the cook to steam crabs with perilla, and then opens the box to find a set of silver tableware, small tongs, and a small hammer, which are extremely exquisite and cute.

While they were having a lively meal, they saw crowds of people, voices, and footsteps—Grandma Qigu was not afraid of the sky or the earth, but she was afraid of seeing this kind of situation, and her hands and feet became weak and her face turned pale.Because her home was hit by a fire when she was six years old, and the situation was like this at that time. It has been almost thirty years, and the memory is not gone, and the lingering fear is still there. "Don't be like this," she shouted angrily and urgently, "what are you messing about?" Without finishing a sentence, I saw a manservant helping someone in.Grandma Qigu became more and more frightened, but it was all right, it was good to catch a glimpse of Gu Yingchun.He took a few steps forward, opened the door curtain with his own hands, and kept shouting: "Hold it up, hold it up!" Then he took the time to say something to Qigu's grandmother, "Quickly ask someone to bring a rattan armchair. !" Grandma Qigu, who was initially in shock, asked, "Who is it?" Xiao Jiaji flashed out from nowhere, and said, "Mr. Hu!" "Which Mr. Hu?" "Which one else? Uncle!" Grandma Qigu felt sore when she heard it, and rushed to the door to greet her. Just in time, the manservant helped Hu Xueyan to the door, and the light was shining, so how could she recognize him? "Uncle?" "Seventh Sister!" Hu Xueyan, who was full of thoughts and extremely haggard, forced a smile, showing his dark white teeth, "It's me." "Really little grandpa?" Qigu's grandma exchanged tears, "How did you make it like this?" "Where is the time to talk at this time?" Gu Yingchun urged impatiently, "Why don't you bring the rattan chair?" Grandma Qigu hurriedly turned around and instructed the girl to bring a wicker chair and spread it on a mattress.The male servants hurriedly supported Hu Xueyan to lie down, and it was only then that she realized that Hu Xueyan had injured one of his legs. "Call the doctor quickly! Get ginger soup!" Gu Yingchun ordered repeatedly, "Make porridge!" The incident happened suddenly, Grandma Qigu messed up her marksmanship, but Xiao Jiaji was calmer: "Master, let Mr. Hu sit down first." Hu Xueyan sat down there, and a girl brought a bowl of red dates and ginger soup. He was panting while drinking, his hands were shaking, and his legs were cramping. In the eyes of Grandma Qigu, his vision immediately blurred. "This is extremely empty!" Gu Yingchun said to his wife, "You can't eat too much at this time. You take out that stick of old mountain ginseng." This is because Hu Xueyan has not had a full meal for two months.I escaped all the way in a small boat. Because I had business on my body, I didn't dare to show up. I walked through one "long-haired nest" after another day and night, and it was not easy to get food along the way.Even if there is, you can't eat as much as you want, because the stomach is too weak, and you can't digest it when you are suddenly full.It is said that every winter when the porridge factory is opened, a few poor people will die of inflation on the first day because of their greed.Grandma Qigu also understood this truth, and hurriedly fetched the long-preserved Jilin Laoshan ginseng from Da Nei, and asked Hu Xueyan to chew and eat to keep her vitality. "Uncle," Seventh Grandma said, looking at his injured leg, "let me see your wound." As he said that, he was about to reach out to hold his feet, Hu Xueyan hurriedly shrank back.The injury was when Changmao was interrogated near Jiaxing, and he was slashed when he said something wrong.There was no medical treatment or medicine, so I randomly found some incense sticks in the wilderness temples to cover up, and I tore some cloth strips from the small gown and tied them tightly.Now it is festering, bloody and dirty, so Hu Xueyan didn't want to let her touch it, "Seventh Sister, don't touch it." Hu Xueyan gasped after saying one sentence, paused and said two more words, "I'm hungry!" "I know, I know! The porridge is boiling." Grandma Qigu thought of a way, "I'll get something for my uncle to eat first." She went into the kitchen herself, scooped up a bowl of ready-made chicken soup, skimmed off the slick oil, tore a piece of preserved meat and chopped it into pureed meat, and poured it into the soup.Then take a piece of milk cake made of rice flour, mash it and soak it in chicken soup, and make a bowl of "paste", and hold it to Hu Xueyan in person. As soon as he smelled the fragrance, Hu Xueyan couldn't help swallowing his saliva again and again, and he wanted to swallow it all at once when he received it, but he thought that showing too much "greedy" would hurt the couple's heart, so he had to force himself Restrained, pretending to be gentle and calm, he ate spoonful by spoonful. After eating up a large bowl of paste, he felt unsatisfied, so he said in a helpless voice, "Seventh Sister, the Wu Zang Temple is still rebelling." "Uncle," Gu Yingchun persuaded him, "Eat later!" "Oh!" Hu Xueyan nodded, but his face was extremely disappointed. Grandma Qigu couldn't bear it, but she couldn't ignore his stomach, so she said, "Well, let's get something not bad to eat." So I packed a few plates of snacks, such as pine nuts, almonds, candied dates, kumquat cakes, etc., for him to "greed".At this time, the traumatologist arrived, examined the wound, and thought it was quite serious, and it would take half a month before he could act. "This, this can't be done," Hu Xueyan said anxiously, "At most three to five days, I must go back." "What?" Grandma Qigu asked anxiously, "Uncle, you want to go back? Back to Hangzhou?" "Yes! In the city of Hangzhou, so many mouths are waiting for me with their mouths open." "My uncle was entrusted by Wang Futai to come to Shanghai to buy rice." Gu Yingchun explained to Qigu's grandma, "This is a life-saving matter, and it is really inconvenient for my uncle to delay. I have already sent someone to I have invited Fifth Brother to discuss it. However," he turned to the traumatologist and asked, "Sir, please take care of me no matter what. No matter what expensive medicine you use, I must ask you to find a way to let our little uncle , within three to five days, you can walk around." "Really." At this time, Qigu's grandma also helped to plead, "Mr. Langzhong, you have to do good deeds. Our little uncle will arrive one day early, and more people will live in Hangzhou. Great news. Mr. Lang Zhong, there is no more important patient than this one you have seen in your life." This last sentence was so powerful that the traumatologist was greatly moved.Looking left and right at his wound, he smacked his eyebrows and smacked his lips for a long time before saying a word. "There is a way, I'm afraid the patient can't afford the pain." "It doesn't matter!" Hu Xueyan gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care about any pain, as long as I have a good morning!" "It's easy to say." The trauma doctor shook his head. "Looking at you, you are extremely weak. The pain is so severe that you will pass out. Let me think about it." He turned his face and asked, "Mr. Gu, Don't you know foreign doctors?" This statement reminded Gu Yingchun.Regret over and over - just because of Hu Xueyan's appearance, which was shocking. He was so dazed for a while that he couldn't think of asking a Western doctor. Now it's inconvenient to "seek another expert". "Really!" He had no choice but to answer first. "The opinions of foreign doctors are slow to come, but they have two medicines that are very effective. Can you ask for some painkillers?" "Here," Gu Yingchun looked distressed. He knew that Western medicine was different from Chinese medicine. He had never seen a patient before, and he refused to give medicine casually.Moreover, there are more than one kind of painkillers, which can be applied externally or taken internally. "Which kind of painkiller you want, you have to have a drug name." "I can't tell the name of the medicine, and I can't figure out the babbling foreign language." The trauma doctor paused for a moment and made up his mind, "Forget it! It's not a big deal to delay time. I'll do it first." So he took out a cloth bag from the medicine box, and when he opened it, it was bright and dazzling, and there were several knives and pliers of different sizes.Then wipe the wound with new cotton, gouged out the carrion with a knife, the pain made Hu Xueyan sweat profusely.Gu Yingchun and Grandma Qigu were terrified and sweated with him, but at the same time they had to pretend to be calm and think of words to comfort the patient.Grandma Qigu kept saying, like coaxing a child, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it will be fine soon." After all, it was all right, I applied "Jiangxiang powder" to stop bleeding and relieve pain, and bandaged it properly.The trauma doctor himself breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay at last, it didn't turn into tetanus." He said, "'The golden sore bleeds too much, and the pulse is weak and weak." Now you must take good care of it, and you must not neglect it. .” Then he said many taboos, not working, not getting angry, not talking and laughing, and "taboo", salty, sour, spicy and hot wine, hot soup are not allowed, even hot porridge is also taboo. "Oops!" Grandma Qigu said, "I just drank a big bowl of hot chicken soup." "I've already drank it, why bring it up?" Gu Yingchun said, "Just be careful in the future." As soon as the traumatologist leaves, Gu Yingchun will ask a western doctor to see him instead.Grandma Qigu disagreed, and Hu Xueyan also said that she didn't need it, because he felt that the pain had eased, which proved that the traumatologist had some means, so it was not appropriate to change doctors. "I'm much more energetic." Hu Xueyan said, "It's important to do big things. Why isn't Fifth Brother here yet?" "Today is the reunion of one of his apprentices. I have already sent someone to chase after the wedding. Uncle," Gu Yingchun said, "you assign me first if you have something to do." "Okay!" He put his hand into his bosom, and after groping for a long time, he took out an oiled paper bag and handed it to Gu Yingchun. Opening the oiled paper bag, there are two soul-stirring blood letters written by Wang Youling. , so as to contain the long hair and reduce the pressure on Hangzhou. There is also a call to Xue Huan, Governor of Jiangsu, asking for payment and food, and at the same time attaching a memorial, asking Xue Huan to copy and send it on his behalf.It details that Hangzhou was besieged and food shortages were attributed to Wang Lvqian, the military minister stationed in Shaoxing, who colluded with evil gentry, controlled the place, and regarded the crisis of the provincial capital as the people of Qin regarded Yue.What's even more shocking is that they actually instigated the scum to kill the officials. On September 24th, Changmao fled to the south bank of the Qiantang River. Xiaoshan, which is across the water from Hangzhou, was attacked head-on by Liao Zongyuan, the prefect of Shaoxing. He was outnumbered and the officials retreated .The common people around Wang Luqian and Xiao Shao were usually at odds with the officers and soldiers, and had deep suspicions.At this time, he thought that the gunboat was collaborating with the enemy and came back to lead the way for Changmao, so Wang Luqian ordered to surround and capture alive, regardless of shooting. Liao Zongyuan got the report, knowing that it was not a frame-up, but a serious misunderstanding, so he hurried out of the city to suppress it.With a roar, the mob pulled Liao Zongyuan off his horse and beat him up. Wang Luqian stood by and praised him silently.This internal strife created an opportunity for the enemy.The long-haired long-driver pounced, and the soldiers fell into Shaoxing without bloodshed.The day before Changmao entered the city, Wang Lvqian fled from Shaoxing to Ningbo with his family and luggage, and fled to Fujian via the sea road, and the grain road to Hangzhou was cut off.Naturally, Wang Youling wanted to participate in the impeachment of Wang Luqian, and the wording was extremely harsh, and even said "the minister died without peace", so it is conceivable that he has deep resentment towards Wang Luqian. "These two blood letters," Gu Yingchun asked, "how should we deal with them?" "Send them all to Xue Futai—" "Okay." Gu Yingchun got up before he finished speaking, "I'll send it overnight." "That's not necessary. Send it early tomorrow morning. I still have something to say." "Yes! Say it." "I want to ask you to meet Xue Futai." Although Hu Xueyan was weak, he still seemed very decisive in his low voice, "Mi, I will find a way by myself. For the boat that transports rice, I will ask Brother Wu later if it is possible." It’s best not to bother the government. However, he will send troops to escort me.” "Is this road open?" "There is an easy way to go, you don't understand. Brother Wu knows, let's talk about it when he comes." Hu Xueyan said again, "There are still a few poems, please send them to Xue Futai. You said that I couldn't because of my leg injury. To meet him face-to-face, and to ask how the tragedy in Hangzhou is like, just ask him to read these few poems." While talking, he groped in the skirt for a long time, and finally took out some extremely crumpled papers.Gu Yingchun put it on the table and smoothed it out for a closer look. The title is "Xinyou Hangcheng Chronicle Poem", and the author's name is Zhang Yinju.There are a total of twelve poems and seven masterpieces, and each capital has a commentary. Seeing the fifth poem, Gu Yingchun read: Yongrong Lingge gathers hairpins and trains, and the weather in September and autumn is clear, and countless demons are startled, and the ten gates have since broken their military books. The note under the poem is: "On September 26, the thieves besieged the city with hundreds of thousands of people, and the ten gates were closed tightly. The newspapers have never been communicated, and the residents are like birds in cages and fish in cauldrons." When Gu Yingchun read this, Qu counted: "Today is the fifth day of November, and we have been around for forty days." "Forty days is not too much, but there has been a shortage of food for a long time, and people will be in a mess on the tenth day." Hu Xueyan sighed and said, "Just keep watching." Next look, write: Surrounded by ten city gates and ten sides, who is the minister who knows how to fight?Hu Zhou, the king of Wangsui in China, is said to be the division commander of Zhang Xun. The note is: "On the sixth day of October, Yuliang from Zhang Junmen arrived and won the battle. That is to say, we sent Vice General Wen Bang into the city in the afternoon to see Wang Zhongcheng's age. Please move troops out of the city overnight, and then you can contact Zhang Junmen. , To pass through the food road. Rao Junmen blocked the cloud from the side: "Tomorrow will always be in time." Unexpectedly, the puppet rebel Li Xiucheng built a wooden city overnight, so the salary road was cut off from Zhang Ying. And ten cities separated by Hao, also built earthen cities everywhere. When Zhang Junmen ordered Vice-General Kuang to enter the city to meet Zhongcheng, he took it upon himself to destroy the bandits, and the people waited on them, saying that the bandits would be wiped out." After reading the poem and the original notes, Gu Yingchun asked, "Who is Rao Junmen?" "Rao Tingxuan. Because this man saved the Guangxin Mansion and made a name for himself with Mrs. Shen, it's actually useless." Hu Xueyan sighed and said, "How many times have I persuaded Wang Xuegong, saying that he is very timid because of people. Wang Xuegong Don't listen to me. Save Hangzhou depends on this opportunity, if you miss this opportunity, the gods will not be able to save you." "Where's Zhang Yuliang?" Gu Yingchun asked again, "Everyone says he's not good, what's the matter?" "Look further down, there is an explanation below." The poem explains it like this: Huanhou is unparalleled in the world for his bravery, how can the flying cannon be willing to drop now?Thousands of horses don't hiss, the army weeps, and the stars fall down the Yangtze River like a bucket. "What? Died in battle?" "Killed in battle." Hu Xueyan shook his head, "This person also delayed the important event. Jiaxing was defeated, and Jinhua and Lanxi couldn't hold on. Hangzhou was in danger. But, it was finally his fault." "The poem compares him to Zhang Fei, which speaks very well of him." "He was martyred in battle, so naturally we have to speak well of him." Hu Xueyan said sadly, "I advise Wang Xuegong to avoid it for the time being. It's like pushing Pai Gow to shake the stall. This dealer's luck is not going well. Take a break and start over. Wang Xuegong refused, saying that he had advised He Genyun at the beginning that it was his responsibility to defend the land, and he must not leave Changzhou lightly. Now that his words and deeds are inconsistent, how can he explain it to him?" "It seems that Wang Xuegong is a loyal minister." "A loyal minister?" Hu Xueyan sneered, "How much is a catty for a loyal minister? I think he—" His voice was choked with sobs.Gu Yingchun had never heard any angry words from Hu Xueyan, but he actually said that "loyal minister" was worthless, one can imagine the pain and anger in his heart, but he was suffering because he had no words to comfort him. "Let's eat first!" Grandma Qigu said, "It's a big deal, you have to be full before you can make up your mind. And my grandpa is really hungry too." "When it comes to Hangzhou, where can I eat?" Hu Xueyan raised her eyes tearfully, "Look at the last two poems." Gu Yingchun took a closer look, the color changed drastically.Grandma Qigu couldn't help wondering, "What's wrong?" She asked, "What did you say?" "Listen to me!" Gu Yingchun read it word by word. The people who gouged out the flesh did not come to mend the sores, and the hungry people struggled to eat it, and it was hurtful. The blood in one cavity was three liters of blood, and it was forced to taste the dragon liver and phoenix. "What?" Grandma Qigu asked in shock, "Cannibalism?" Gu Yingchun didn't answer immediately, and read the notes word by word: "The soldiers plundered bravely, and the residents beat the gong to capture them. They sent them to the place where Wang Zhongcheng of Fengshan Gate lived. Zhongcheng asked the truth, and the king ordered him to kill him. The corpses were piled up beside the road. , Soldiers fight for their hearts and livers to drink, and hungry people also fight to eat them. "Cannibalism" is usually seen in history books, and I have seen it personally." Just this passage made everyone in the front and back of the hall turn pale. Grandma Qigu shook her head again and again: "The world has changed! There is such a thing!" "I don't quite believe it either. Uncle, is it true?" "Not only is it true, it's nothing surprising." Hu Xueyan panted with a dismal face, "People are so hungry that they will eat anything." Next, he talked about the situation of the shortage of grain in Hangzhou-this year, the west of Zhejiang was ripe, but at the time of harvest, the long hairs flooded in like a tide, and the officers and soldiers retreated steadily. A long-term siege.Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of long-haired people will not be able to support them, and the siege of Hangzhou will be unsolved. The well-to-do families in the city of Hangzhou naturally had some food in stock, but they immediately felt threatened. The rice store had closed down before the city was closed.So Hu Xueyan initiated the establishment of a porridge factory, with a total of 47 places in the upper, middle and lower cities. Every day, Chen and Shen twice, cooking rice and one stone each time. Returned empty-handed three or four times. Before long, the porridge factory had to be closed.But the official rice is still sold in Jikouping. When the rice is sold out, the beans are sold, and when the beans are sold out, the wheat is sold.Rich people have places to buy rice, and they exchange gold and opium privately with the Eight Banners soldiers in the banner camp for military rations. Not long after, I ate up all the rice, wheat and miscellaneous grains, so I ate southern medicinal herbs, rehmannia glutinosa, rice kernels, and sealwort, all of which could be used as meal substitutes.Jujubes and chestnuts are regarded as treasures, while sea cucumbers, shark fins, etc., are the food of the poor. Later, they ate bran, leather suitcases, and spiked shoes—the spiked shoes were made of cowhide, duckweed, and grass roots and bark.People from Hangzhou are good Buddhas, old ladies from rich families, and they like "release life" the most.There is a place called Xiaoyunqi, which raises and releases cattle, sheep, pigs and ducks, and naturally all of them are wiped out. "The people in Hangzhou are not people, but ghosts. They are so thin that they have three holes on their faces. Two holes are eyes, and one hole is a mouth. Walking on the road, it is like "the wind blows." Duck egg shells', fluttering, flimsy." Hu Xueyan took a breath, and said with difficulty: "It's like two people meeting on the road. They are talking weakly. As they talk, one of them will fall down for no reason. The other will help him. It's okay if you don't help him. Fu was dizzy, and he fell down and couldn't get up. I don't know how many "fallen corpses" like this. Fortunately, it is winter, if it is summer, the plague would have been born long ago." "Then," Grandma Qigu asked anxiously, "where's your family?" "Life and death are unknown." Hu Xueyan said with tears, "As early as August, my old mother said that it would be better to avoid the country. The whole family was sent to Shangtianzhu under the North Peak, and the city was closed. I don't know about this news." "It must not matter." Grandma Qigu said, "The house is a family of good deeds, and the old lady likes to do good deeds. If you are lucky, you must be safe." "Alas!" Gu Yingchun sighed, "Havoc!"
