Shang Ke peeked outside through the small cracks between the supply boxes. Not too far from them were six to seven figures searching their way over. The surroundings were piled with junks of all sizes. There were emptied boxes, discarded parts and some disordered trash.
此刻光线虽然有些昏暗，但是只要他们从杂物堆里跑出来，马上就会被人给发现。如果他们继续待在原地，估计也逃脱不了被抓住的命运。
Although the light was a bit dusky right now, if they ran out from the junk, they would immediately be found. But if they continued to hide in this spot, they likely still wouldn’t be able to escape their fate of being caught.
尚可现在要做的，就是在警察赶到前，保障自己和封隽不被抓住，否则那群人肯定会毫不犹豫下死手。他虽然学了武术，但如今这个身体只是一个孩子，身高、力量、速度等等，都无法与成年人抗衡，唯一能够依仗的就是灵活。
What Shang Ke needed to do right now was to make sure Feng Juan and him would not be caught before the police hurried over. Otherwise, that group of people would show no mercy at all. Although he knew martial arts, his current body was just a child. Height, power, speed and so on were all not contendable against an adult. The only he could count on was flexibility.
眼看那群人距离他们越来越近，尚可低声对怀里的孩子说：“你待在这里别动，我出去将他们引开。”
Watching those people becoming closer and closer, Shang Ke whispered to the child in his arms. “Stay here and don’t move. I’ll draw those people away.”
封隽紧紧抓住尚可的手，虽然一句话也没说，但拒绝的意思很明显。
Feng Juan tightly grabbed Shang Ke’s hand. Even though he didn’t say a single word, it was quite clear he was refusing.
尚可手腕一翻，轻松将封隽挣开，又叮嘱一句：“待在这里别动！”然后猫着腰，钻出货箱，朝另一边潜去，中途“很不小心”地踢到一个瓶子。
Shang Ke’s turned his hand and easily broke free of Feng Juan’s hold, he once again repeated himself, “Stay here and don’t move!” Then he bent his waist and squeezed out of the box to go to the other side and hide. Halfway through, he “very uncarefully” kicked a bottle.
“在那边！追！”一声低喊之后，紧跟着是一串脚步声。
“Over there! Get him!” A deep voice shouted and followed that was the sounds of footsteps.
尚可头也没回，靠耳朵分辨身后的动静。
Shang Ke didn’t even look back and just used his ears to make out the situation behind him.
1、2、3……一共有5个人追了过来。
One, two, three… there was a total of five people that chased him.
5个？尚可心下一沉，搜索他们的人有7个，如果只追上来5个，那么剩下的2个……尚可猛地回头，果然发现有两个人影正在封隽躲藏的位置晃悠。
Five? Shang Ke’s heart sank, there were seven people searching for them. If only five of them followed, then the remaining two… Shang Ke quickly turned his head back, as expected, there were two hoving around the area Feng Juan was hiding at.
不好！
Not good!
尚可脚步一转，顺势躲过向他扑来的几个人影，如野猫一般在凌乱的杂物中飞窜。
Shang Ke took a sharp turn and dodged the man who threw himself at him. He quickly ran through all the messy junk like a wildcat.
“这里还有一个。”一个男人粗鲁地将封隽提起来。
“There’s another one here.” A man crudely picked up Feng Juan.
封隽不停挣扎，喉咙里发出小兽般的低吼。
Feng Juan struggled nonstop, a small beast-like growl pouring from his throat.
“md，这群小崽子，真是麻烦。”另一个男人说着就扬起手上的枪柄朝封隽砸去。
“Damn it, this group of kids are so troublesome.” Another man spoke and raised the rod in his hand, striking down at Feng Juan’s head.
封隽睁大眼睛，眼中充满恐惧和绝望，隐隐还有一丝对命运的不甘。
Feng Juan eyes went wide. In them were fear and despair, along with a faint trace of unwillingness toward this fate.
正在危机之际，一个小小的身影突然疾冲而来，猛力撞在那人的身上，将他撞得一个踉跄。
Right at the moment of crisis, a small figure suddenly dashed out and knocked against the man with all his might, causing the man to stagger from the impact.
尚可落地之后，没有丝毫停留，右腿着力，高高跳起，对准抓住封隽的那个男人的手腕飞起一脚。
After Shang Ke landed, he did not pause and put power into his legs to jump highly, aiming straight at the wrist of the man who was holding Feng Juan.
那人吃痛，松开了手掌。
That man released his grip at the pain.
封隽跌落在地，还没回神，就被人用力拉起来，带着他一边闪躲，一边朝巷口冲去。
Feng Juan fell to the ground and was grabbed by and pulled up before he could come to his senses. Shang Ke dragged him and evaded the people while he went for the exit.
封隽跟着尚可狼狈地逃窜，手臂几乎快被他扯断，但这个瘦小而勇敢的背影，却深深印在了他的心里。
Feng Juan followed Shang Ke’s rough escape style, his arm almost pulled out by him. But the brave figure of the small person before him left a deep impression in his heart.
“警察，不许动！”
“This is the police, don’t move!”
尚可等待的救星终于出现了！一大批便衣警察快速朝这边冲来。
The savior Shang Ke was waiting for finally came! A large group of policemen quickly rushed over from this side.
“shit！”
“Shit!”
身后传来一声咒骂，随后就是一连串枪响。
A curse came from behind followed by a string of gunshots.
尚可敏锐地发现几发子弹明显是朝他和封隽射来的，他当机立断将封隽扑倒。可惜，还是慢了一步，他的肩膀和右腿分别被子弹射中，射中肩膀那颗子弹，穿透他的肩膀，没入了封隽左臂。
Shang Ke keenly noticed that a couple bullets were clearly aiming at them, so he made a decision on the fly and dragged Feng Juan down. But unfortunately he was still a step too slow, his shoulder and right leg were shot. The bullet that went through his shoulder hit Feng Juan’s left arm.
两人同时栽倒在地，鲜血混杂在一起。
The two of them fell to the ground together and blood mixed.
“请求救护支援，这里有两个孩子受到枪击！”
“Rescue support here please, there’s two children that were hit by the bullets!”
耳边传来一阵噪杂声，尚可感觉自己被人抱起，明白他们已经安全，便放心地晕了过去。
A burst of clamor came from the side and Shang Ke could feel someone carry him up. Knowing that they were already save, he relaxed and lost consciousness.
两天后，尚可在消毒水的气味中醒来，肩上和腿上包着绷带，手上还打着点滴。
Two days later, Shang Ke woke up to the distinct smell of sterilization. His shoulder and leg were bandaged while an IV drip was connected to his hand.
转过头，发现封隽就躺在隔壁的病床上，睡得正熟，看起来并没有大碍，至少避免了双腿残疾的悲剧。
With a turn of his head, he saw Feng Juan lying on the hospital bed next to him. He was sleeping deeply and did not appeared seriously injured, at his they avoided his legs becoming disabled.
“这些孩子太可怜了，特别是年纪稍大的那个，身上全是伤，至少连续遭受了四五年的虐待。”这时，一个女声从病房外传来。她说的是e语。尚可对e语倒是颇为精通。毕竟学习计算机，e语是必备语言。
“These children as so pitiful, especially that older one, his body was full of injuries, he must have been abused for at least four to five months.” At this moment, a female voice could be heard from outside the room. She was speaking in English and Shang Ke was rather proficient in it. After all, English was an essential language when trying to learn computer language.
“他们的情况怎么样？”另一个女声问道。
“How are their situation?” Another woman asked.
“还需要观察几天，目前还算稳定。”
“We still need to observe them a couple of days. They are stable for now.”
说着，病房被打开，几人鱼贯而入，见尚可已经醒来，微微愣了一下，随即露出一个安抚的笑容，缓步走到他的床边。
The door to the sickroom was opened then and a few people walked when. When they saw Shang Ke was awake, they paused for a moment before a comforting smile was immediately place on their faces. They slowly walked to his bed.
“男孩，你还好吗？”一位稍微年长的男子微笑着和尚可打了声招呼，望着他精致的五官和清澈的眼眸，暗赞了一声：真是个漂亮的男孩。
“Child, are you alright?” A somewhat older man smiled and greeted Shang Ke, he looked at his delicate features and clear eyes and secretly praised: He really is such a pretty child.
尚可只是盯着他们，并没有说话。
Shang Ke only stared at them and did not speak.
男子身边的女子突然醒悟：“罗文警探，他不是e国人，可能听不懂e语。”
The woman by the man suddenly realized, “Detective Rowan, he isn’t from UK, he likely can’t understand English.”
“他们应该是亚洲人，只是不知道是z国还是h国。”罗文顿了顿，试探着用蹩脚的z文对尚可说了一句，“你好。”
“They should be asian, but we don’t know if they’re Chinese or Japanese.” Rowan paised and tried out using shoddy Chinese to say to Shang Ke, “Hello.”
尚可朝他点点头。
Shang Ke nodded his head toward him.
罗文确定了他的国籍，立刻让身边的女警请一位擅长z文的人过来。
After finding out his nationality, Rowan immediately had the policewoman by him to find someone who knew chinese.
他们这次行动并没有抓到主谋，所以想从两个孩子身上寻找一些线索。
They were not able to catch the mastermind in their operation this time, so they wanted to find some clues from these two children.
“警探，他们刚刚经历了那样一场灾难，希望你们不要再惊吓到他们。”女医生开口提醒。
“Detective, they have just experienced such a disaster, I wish you guys don’t frighten them.” The female doctor reminded them.
“这个自然。”罗文保障。他亲眼见过这两个孩子身上的伤，心中也很是同情。但这件事比较紧急，如果这次让幕后黑手逍遥法外，下次就不知道是什么时候能抓到了。
“Of course.” Rowan guaranteed. He saw the injuries on the two children with his own eyes, he also felt quite a bit of sympathy. But this matter was rather urgent, if they don’t catch the mastermind and let them get away this time, then they don’t know when will they get another chance to catch them.
不过多时，一名年约四十的中年男子走进来，和屋里的其他人打过招呼后，来到尚可床边，用z文温和道：“你好，我是拉姆森教授，你叫什么名字？”
In a short moment, a middle age man in his forties entered the room. After he greeted the other people in the room, he walked to Shang Ke’s bed and used Chinese to gently asked, “Hello, I am Professor Ramson. What is your name?”
尚可并没有回答，而是转头朝封隽的方向望去。
Shang Ke did not reply, rather, he turned his head to where Feng Juan was at.
“啊！”原本熟睡的封隽突然发出急促的呼吸声，看起来十分痛苦。
“Ah!” Feng Juan breathing suddenly quicken in his sleep, he appeared very much in pain.
女医生快步走过去，查看他的身体状况。
The female doctor quickly walked over to check his body condition.
封隽挣扎了一会便清醒过来，只是脸色苍白，满头是汗。
Feng Juan struggled for a while before waking up, his face pale and full of sweat.
众人见到封隽的反应，并没有觉得奇怪，等再看尚可时，才察觉不对。这个孩子是不是太冷静了一点？从醒来到现在，没有表现出一丝慌张和恐惧。
When everyone saw Feng Juan’s reaction, they did not think it was strange. Rather, when they looked back at Shang Ke, now they feel the oddity. Wasn’t this child too calm? From the time he woke up to now, he hasn’t shown any confusion or fear.
封隽惶恐地朝四周看了看，等看到另一张病床上的尚可时，才稍稍安心，然后挣扎着想要爬起来。
Feng Juan looked around in fear until he saw Shang Ke on another bed. He relaxed a bit then struggled to get out of the bed to go to Shang Ke.
女医生连忙制止，免得他弄伤自己。原本以为需要费力安抚一番，没想到封隽并没有坚持，很快就安静下来，只是用一双充满警惕和防备的眼睛直盯着他们，盯得他们心里发毛。
The female doctor quickly stopped him in case he injured himself more. She had thought it would take more effort to stop him, but Feng Juan did not insist on it and quickly quieted down. He merely used a pair of vigilant eyes to stare at them, he stared at them so much they were a bit fearful.
罗文等人颇为诧异，感觉他们这次救回来的两个孩子，似乎都有些与众不同。
Rowan and the others were all rather flabbergasted, they feel that the children they’ve saved this time were both a little different from normal.
确定孩子的情绪还算稳定后，拉姆森教授开始尝试与他们交流，先询问了一些简单的问题。结果他们一个沉默不语，一个语焉不详。
After confirming that their situation was rather stable, Professor Ramson started to try to talk, asking some simple questions. In the end, the result was that one remained silent and did not speak while the other one spoke but did not give details.
女医生指了指封隽：“这个孩子可能是因为受到惊吓，所以记忆出现了缺失。”随后又看向尚可，迟疑道，“他的语言系统并没有什么问题，大概只是暂时性失语。”
The female doctor pointed at Feng Juan, “This child’s memory might have some holes because of the fright he received.” Then she looked toward Shang Ke, hesitantly saying, “There is no problem with his language system, it should be temporarily loss of speech.”
罗文等人面面相觑，眼中闪过一丝无奈。
Rowan and the others all looked at each other, a trace of helplessness flashing through their eyes.
“看来是问不出什么线索了。”女警苦笑。
“Looks like we won’t be able to get any clues from them.” The policewoman made a bitter smile.
尚可看了看他们，并非他不想说，而是为了小命着想，他暂时什么都不能说。
Shang Ke looked at them. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to say it, but in consideration of his small life, he temporarily cannot talk to them about it.
根据系统提供的信息，这股黑道势力十分庞大，而且警方内部有他们的内应。之前警察围剿的那伙人，不过是这股势力丢出来的小小鱼饵而已，估计他们这次连一个活口都没有抓到。
According to the information supplied by the System, the power of this underground organization was very large, plus, they had some moles in the police. The group of people the police previous caught were just a very small bait they threw out. They likely didn’t even catch someone who had any useful information.
尚可并不清楚哪些警察是内鬼，却知道这股势力活跃了十几年，直到封隽羽翼渐丰，才被彻底瓦解。
Shang Ke did not know which police was a mole, but he knows that this power has been active for more than ten years until Feng Juan gradually grew to power and thoroughly collapsed them.
他只要透露一点信息，那么接下来他和封隽将要面临的，很可能就是无休无止的暗杀。
If he leaked out even a bit of information, what would follow Feng Juan and him would likely be endless assassination attempts.
因为他们在转运途中，曾经见过那位幕后大佬。虽然只是惊鸿一瞥，却在原主的记忆中留下了深刻的印象。单单这些天从他们嘴中听到的零星信息，也足以让他们杀人灭口。
They have seen the big shot behind the scenes once before when they were switching routes. Although it was just a glance, it left a deep impression in the original’s memory. Even just the fragments of information they could get from them would be enough for someone to be sent to kill them.
系统这次发布的任务是守护封隽到二十二岁。
The mission the System released this time was to protect Feng Juan until he was twenty-two.
以为这只是一个普通保姆任务的尚可，觉得自己果然还是太天真了……
Shang Ke who thought it was just a normal nanny mission felt that he was really too naive…
警察从两个孩子口中没有问出任何信息，连他们的身份也无从得知，只能将通知大使馆，让他们过来调查。
The police were unable to get any information from the two children nor were they able to find out their identity. So they could only notify the embassy and have them investigate.
不过尚可知道，最后调查肯定是不了了之，他们根本没有查到他们的身份。
But Shang Ke knew that the final result of the investigation would be nothing, they simply could not find out their identity.
原主布诺是中蒙边区一个山村的孩子，连户口都没有上，从小被父亲虐待，后来实在受不了，就从家里逃出来，一路流浪，直到被人口贩子抓走。
The original Bruno was a child from a mountain village, it was so small that even the population wasn’t noted. He was mistreated by his father since young and finally ran away from home when he couldn’t take it anymore. He wandered aimlessly until he was caught by the children traffickers.
而封隽出身的家族，内部斗争严重，哥哥被人害死，他也在被送走的途中失踪。而后时局动荡，封家人元气大伤，实在没有精力再顾及其他。直到五年后，他们才重整旗鼓，但那时，已经完全失去了封隽的消息。
On the other hand, the family Feng Juan was born into has a serious internal power struggle. His older brother was killed and he himself went missing on the route of being sent elsewhere. The political situation became worse after that, the Feng Family’s strength was greatly cut and they did not have energy to take care of other things. They were only able to regroup after five years, but by then, they had completely lost any information on Feng Juan.
在医院休养的这些天，尚可和封隽过得还算不错，有专门的医生和心理辅导老师，还有各种适合孩子的娱乐活动。
In the days they stayed in the hospital to recover, Shang Ke and Feng Juan were getting by well. There was a specialized doctor and psychological advisors along with all sorts of children entertainments.
罗文警探似乎很喜欢他们，虽然没有从他们身上得到什么线索，但还是会经常来看他们。尽管封隽对他不假辞色，而尚可始终一语不发，他也没有气馁。
Detective Rowan seemed to really like them, although they were not able to obtain any clues from them, he still frequently came by to see them. Although Feng Juan did not look kindly upon him and Shang Ke remained silent the entire time, he was not discouraged.
这些天并没有什么奇怪的事情发生，尚可猜测那个团伙应该已经放松对他们的警惕。但他并没有冒险向罗文警探透露什么消息，尽管他知道这位罗文警探是日后剿灭这个团伙的主要负责人之一。可惜他太关心他们，频繁与他们接触，尚可反而不方便开口。
Nothing strange happened these days so Shang Ke guessed that those people probably relaxed their guard against them. But he still did not take the risk to tell Detective Rowan any information even though he knew this Detective Rowan was the main person in charge that eliminated those people in the future. It was a pity that he was too concerned about them and frequently got in contact with them, so it made it harder for Shang Ke to say anything.
经过半个月的疗养，封隽的伤势基本已经恢复如初。
After half a month of recovery, Feng Juan’s injury was pretty much completely healed.
而尚可右腿上的伤却有些麻烦，以后即使痊愈，也无法再进行剧烈动作，只是不妨碍平时行走。
But the injury on Shang Ke’s left leg would be somewhat inconvenient, even after it completely healed, he would be unable to do any drastic actions. It just won’t hinder everyday walking.
“可可，你放心，我会永远陪在你身边的。”封隽已经忘记过去，眼前这个男孩就是他现在唯一的记忆。
“Ke Ke, don’t worry, I will forever stay by your side.” Feng Juan has lost his memories of the past, so this boy before him was his only memory now.
尚可微笑着点头，握住封隽的右手，轻轻拂过他掌心的那颗痣。
Shang Ke kindly smiled and nodded. His hand held Feng Juan’s right hand, softly brushing the mole on the hollow of his palm.
他们自此相识，从此相守。
From here they know each other, and from now on, they will protect each other.
前三世都没能与这个人在一起，这一世，他不想再放弃。距离封隽二十二岁还有十六年，十六年的相守，对他而言，已经是一种奢侈。
He wasn’t able to stay together with this person the past three worlds. In this life, he did not want to give up again. There was still sixteen years until Feng Juan was twenty-two. He had to protect him for sixteen years, and to him, it was something luxurious.
直到两人伤愈，大使馆那边也没有查到他们的身份信息，所以当地zf决定将他们送往福利中心，从此落户异地他乡。
By the time their injuries have healed, the embassy were still not able to find information on their identity. As such, the local government decided to send them to the social welfare center, having them live in this foreign country from here on out.
出院时，罗文警探亲自过来送他们，一路上千叮万嘱，一个人说得不亦乐乎，两人都没有回应。
When they were finally checked out of the hospital, Detective Rowan personally came by to send them out. He talked the whole very delightly even though the two of them said nothing.
等到福利中心门口，罗文颇有些依依不舍。
When they were at the entrance to the social welfare center, Rowan felt a bit reluctant to part with them.
尚可背着他送给自己的小背包，突然用e语对他说了一句：“谢谢。”
Shang Ke wore the small bookbag he gave him and suddenly used English to say to him, “Thank you.”
说完，转身便和封隽手拉手走进了福利中心。
He turned and entered the social welfare center hand in hand with Feng Juan.
罗文一愣，望着两个瘦小的背影逐渐远去，好半晌才醒觉，这个男孩不仅会说话，而且……或许还能听懂e语？
Rowan paused, staring at the two small figures gradually distancing before finally realizing something. Not only could this child speak it, he… could also understand English?
所以，他这段时间的缄默都是故意的？
As such, his silence all this time was on purpose?
