Chapter 6: The Kingdom of Heaven
"There is almost no time, the patient's chest is pierced, the heart is damaged, and if this continues, the brain will die."
"Blood transfusions have to be done as soon as possible."
"Not good, the patient's condition deteriorated and he couldn't stop the bleeding."
"I went into cardiac arrest, and the shock didn't work."
"There's no way, the patient is hopeless, declare him dead."
"Wait, what's going on?"
"The wound is gradually healing."
"Heart! My heart is starting to beat! β
"Impossible, how can a human being have such a strong resilience, could it be said that he is a demon?"
"It's impossible for an ordinary demon to reach this level, could he beβ"
ββ¦β¦ Hmmm"
Li Hu let out a slight moan, and then slowly opened his eyes.
It seemed that Li Hu was lying on a white bed, and after blinking his eyes, Li Hu looked around.
"What kind of place is this?"
A separate bed was placed in a small white room, and the bed was surrounded by a curtain for shelter.
Quite an unfamiliar place, it seems that this is a ward, which means that Li Hu's current location is probably a hospital.
In order to sober up his head as soon as possible, Li Hu shook his head a few times.
"Painful pain, painful ......!"
It seemed that he hadn't moved his body for a long time, but it was just such a slight movement that caused the bones in his neck to make a "click" sound, and Li Hu frowned slightly.
How long have I been lying in bed, and why did I show up in the hospital for some reason?
However, it didn't take long for Li Hu to not pursue these questions, for the simple reason that there was a girl who was about a year or two younger than Li Hu and slept leaning against the bed.
With black hair and immature smooth skin, he looks as beautiful as a handicraft.
"Xiao Yao......?"
That's right, the girl in front of her is Li Hu's sister - Li Yao, I saw her shoulders rising and falling regularly, and at the same time quietly snoring.
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
At this moment, Li Hu's mind suddenly crossed the scene that had happened before he lost consciousness.
Li Hu fought with his life against the crazy Delisa, was saved by Homike at the last moment, and then was pierced by Delisa's tail in order to protect Li Yao - Li Hu suddenly lowered his head and lifted his shirt to look at his body.
"What, the wound on my body is gone."
The body does not seem to be injured or scarred, although Li Hu remembers that his body was indeed pierced by Delissa's tail before he lost consciousness, but now he looks unscathed, is he in a coma and was sent to the hospital in time to treat the wound? But even if you are so seriously injured, at least you will leave a scar, is it that medical technology is so advanced now?
But in any case, it is also an indisputable fact that Li Hu's life was saved, and Li Hu sighed reassuringly.
But then another important thing came to mind.
"Yes...... yes, everyone has been ...... Kill ......! β
Li Hu said, bowing his head in frustration.
Yes, Li Hu remembered that except for Zhang Hao and Li Yao, all the others were brutally killed by the crazy Delissa, if it wasn't for Homike blocking that blow for him at that time, presumably Li Hu would also be the next target to be killed.
"Obviously, everyone wants to work hard to live, but I'm really useless, and it doesn't make any difference at all."
Li Hu bit his lip and lowered his gaze with a look of remorse.
As soon as he thought of the scene when everyone was killed, Li Hu felt a dull pain in his heart, and a sense of powerlessness had been wrapped around Li Hu.
ββ¦β¦ Uh-huh......"
It may be that Li Hu unwillingly knocked on the head of the bed and reacted, accompanied by a sleepy voice, Li Yao gently rubbed his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Yao accidentally woke you up."
ββ¦β¦ Well, it's okay, brother, you're awake. β
Li Yao showed a sleepy-eyed expression, and in this way, he met Li Hu's eyes.
"Brother, do you still have any pain or discomfort in your body?"
"No problem, my body is feeling good now, is this a hospital?"
Li Hu asked while looking around again, so Li Yao nodded lightly in agreement.
"Yes, this is the hospital, my brother has been in a coma for seven days since he came here."
"Oh, sure enough, this is the doctorβ"
Li Hu let out a breath of relief, but after a beat of slowness, he stopped talking halfway.
"Huh! Seven days! Are you saying I've been in a coma for so long? It looks like it's a blessing to wake up. β
I thought it would only be a day or two at most, but when I heard Li Yao say this, I didn't realize that I had been in a coma for such a long time, and Li Hu showed an expression of disbelief.
But there is nothing wrong with this, after all, for Li Hu, these seven days are like sleeping at night, which is a normal thing.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not a strange thing, Li Hu remembers that his body was pierced by Deliesa's tail before he lost consciousness, which caused a fatal wound, not to mention being in a coma for seven days, it was already good to wake up.
But at this moment, Li Hu felt that something was a little strange.
"But then again, your reaction to seeing me wake up was too ordinary, and you should have at least made a surprised look (babble!). Brother, you finally woke up, I almost thought you wouldn't wake up) like this. β
"Does my brother think I'm going to do such an unseemly thing? I guess you're underestimating my sister. β
"Not really." Li Hu narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly.
"But yes, it feels pretty good right now, all in allβ"
At this moment, Li Hu suddenly stopped speaking.
"Uh-huh......!"
To be precise, he was forced to stop speaking, and the reason was very simple, because Li Yao suddenly buried his face on Li Hu's shoulder, and after wrapping his body with both hands, he hugged Li Hu tightly.
Then he showed a sobbing expression.
"You idiot brother, you had a lot of blood on your body at that time, you must have been in a lot of pain."
ββ¦β¦ Xiao Yao. β
"When I was first admitted to the hospital, the doctor said that my brother's chance of surviving this fatal injury was very low, and the family didn't have the heart to read comics these days, so why did he do such a stupid thing at that time?"
"I'm sorry, Xiao Yao, I'm worried about you."
"But," Li Hu took a deep breath and gently stroked Li Yao's head.
"I don't think it's stupid at all, and if my body moves involuntarily, then you can't blame me."
Li Hu smiled and continued:
"Okay, now I'm all fine, Xiao Yao don't cry."
ββ¦β¦ Uh-huh......"
After Li Hu comforted him like this, Li Yao wiped the tears from her eyes with her hands before finally leaving Li Hu's body.
And yet, at this momentβ
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Hu heard a knocking sound in front of him, looked at the source of the sound, and found that Zhang Hao was already standing at the door before he started knocking.
I saw Zhang Hao put his hand in front of his mouth and cleared his throat.
"Yo, I'm sorry, I accidentally disturbed the happy moment of a young girl."
"Sister control boy!"
Zhang Hao's humorous metaphor made Li Hu pout his mouth unhappily, but Li Yao's eyes widened for some reason
"Sister control? What's that? Toys? β
"It's nothing, it's just a joke, don't pay too much attention to it."
Zhang Hao showed a mischievous smile, and at the same time shook his arm casually as if he was about to perfunctory the past, and then continued to say in a relaxed tone:
"Li Hu, you look quite energetic now, it should be fine."
"I'm worried about you, that ...... How to say that? Anyway, thank you very much, Zhang Hao. β
"Huh? Why do you suddenly want to thank me? β
Hearing Li Hu suddenly say something inexplicable, Zhang Hao tilted his head in confusion and sat on the chair next to the bed.
Then Li Hu narrowed his eyes and exhaled slightly.
"Because you worked very hard to protect Xiao Yao at that time."
Li Hu recalled the scene at that time, when Delisa launched a brutal massacre of everyone, Zhang Hao was resisting to the death, desperately trying to protect Li Yao behind him.
"Where, where, it's just a disturbance, besides, your sister's strength is stronger than mine, and she doesn't need my protection at all."
"Hehe, Brother Hao has been competing with me in swordsmanship these days, and the score is 27:13, but I have won Brother Hao 27 times."
"Yes, I didn't release water at all, Xiao Yao's swordsmanship is really powerful."
Seeing that the two of them were talking and laughing, Li Hu showed a relieved smile.
"It's my sister."
But at this moment, Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly widened as if he remembered something.
"By the way, Li Hu, there is something you should know."
"What's the matter?"
"The fox demon fell off the cliff with Homik, in fact, I wonder why Homike would pay with his life to help us, or do you know him?"
"I don't know him, it's just that he suspected his identity once before, but I remember what he said when he protected me (that's what it is our wolf clan does)."
"I see."
As if sensing something, Zhang Hao put his hand against his chin and nodded gently, as soon as the words fell, with a "clang", the originally closed door was opened again.
When I looked closely, I saw a man about forty years old, and the most obvious features of his body were the white coat he was wearing and the stethoscope around his neck, and he probably looked like a doctor from this hospital.
"It's coming."
Zhang Hao didn't seem surprised by the doctor's arrival, and after sending a brief greeting, the doctor nodded in response.
Then he walked straight up to Li Hu.
"Hello this patient, first time we met, I am a doctor in this hospital, I heard that you woke up, so I came to give you a simple physical examination."
After hearing the doctor say this with a smile, Li Hu let out an "oh" sound and nodded lightly in response.
Although the body seems to be fine from the outside, after all, it is a fatal wound, and it is difficult to ensure that the internal organs will be fully recovered, so the doctor probably rushed to do the examination for the sake of insurance.
Then the doctor expertly placed the stethoscope around his neck on his ear and began the examination for about a minute or two before stopping.
"Can you lift your shirt and let me see your wounds?"
"Yes."
After Li Hu followed the doctor's instructions and lifted his shirt to reveal his scarless body, the doctor, who had been smiling for some reason, widened his eyes abruptly, and then spread his hands excitedly as if he was observing some peerless treasure.
"It's so perfect, the wound repair is really perfect, although it's only a half-demon, but it's worthy of the four demon clans."
"Huh? Doctor, what do you say? β
After listening to the doctor's inexplicable words, Li Hu tilted his head in confusion.
"Hey! Don't talk too much. β
After Zhang Hao suddenly showed a sharp look in his eyes, the doctor seemed to be stunned, and hurriedly shook his arm as if he was going to perfunctory.
"No, it's nothing, since you've woken up now, and you're no longer in good health after the examination, you can be discharged from the hospital now."
"Can you be discharged from the hospital? That's great! β
"Great, my brother can finally be discharged from the hospital!"
The doctor's speech made Li Hu and Li Yao's eyes widen excitedly.
Although spending seven days in the hospital was only a blink of an eye for Li Hu, it was a good thing to be discharged after all, but only then did Li Hu notice a problem.
"By the way, I don't know where this is, are we still in the Demon Country?"
"I have already walked out of the demon country, and now this is the country of heaven, one of the three major countries, the country of mankind."
"It turned out to be ...... Kingdom of Heavenββ! β
After Zhang Hao's simple explanation, Li Hu suddenly raised his voice in astonishment as if he had realized it later.
However, there is nothing wrong with this, after all, when they planned to escape from the Demon Kingdom, Li Hu and his party took the Kingdom of Heaven as their destination, although they are not 100% sure, but Li Hu's parents are also very likely to be in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Since this is the Kingdom of Heaven, it means that Li Hu and Li Yao are one step closer to seeing their biological parents.
"This is the Kingdom of Heaven! That is to say...... Xiao Yao! The envelope is still on you. β
"I've always had it on me."
"Bring it to me."
After Li Hu took the envelope handed over by Li Yao, he immediately opened it, only to see a short line of words written on the top of the white paper.
The third house at No. 59 Sword Saint Street, the King of Heavenβ
Perhaps inadvertently looking at the address on the paper, Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes.
"What? Is the address written on the envelope? β
"That's right, the address written on this is probably the location of my house."
"The location of your house, what, isn't it around here?"
"Are you saying this is the royal capital?"
After Li Hu asked, Zhang Hao nodded slightly.
"That's right, this is the most prosperous area in the kingdom of heaven - the royal capital."
"That's great." Li Hu said, and suddenly jumped off the bed.
"Doctor, can we leave the hospital now? I want to go to the address on the envelope early. β
"Alreadyβ"
At the moment when the doctor's words were not finished, Li Hu and Li Yao had already walked to the door, and then turned around and shook their arms as if to say goodbye.
"Goodbye, Zhang Hao."
"Brother Hao, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Zhang Hao also smiled and made the same gesture in response, and then after confirming that the Li Hu brothers and sisters disappeared from view, Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly.
"Oh, the two of them are really in a hurry, but the medical expenses haven't been paid yet? There's really no way but to pay for it. β
After walking out of the hospital and onto the crowded street, Li Yao stretched slightly when she saw the scene in front of her.
"Wow, this is really a human country, all the streets are full of humans, and I don't see any demons nearby."
The buildings on both sides of the street, in a hurry, the pedestrians and carriages that are staggered back and forth, what makes people even more concerned is that there is no demon figure nearby, it is indeed a country that belongs to human beings, and it is certain that the prosperity of this city is no less than that of the demon country, for Li Hu and Li Yao, who have lived in the demon country for a few months, seeing this scene in front of them, to be honest, it really feels quite novel.
"Huh? Xiaoyao, haven't you been on the street in the past few days? β
Li Hu asked suspiciously.
Li Hu remembered that he had been in a coma for seven days, which meant that Li Yao should have been here for seven days, but Li Yao's expression now looked like the first time he saw it, no matter how he looked at it.
Then Li Yao nodded slightly.
"That's right, because I've been practicing swordsmanship in the hospital with Brother Hao for the past few days, so I've never been outside."
"Oh, I see, but is this really where we used to live? I still don't have the slightest sense of dΓ©jΓ vu. β
"Well, anyway, let's go to the house first."
After walking a certain distance, following the instructions of the sign standing on the side of the road, Li Hu finally found the place described on the envelope.
The house is very similar to the surrounding buildings, but it's no wonder, after all, almost all the houses in this area are pretty much the same.
"The third building at No. 59 Sword Saint Street should be the house in front of you."
"It looks pretty big."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Hu knocked lightly on the door, but after a few seconds, there was still no response inside.
"Hello, is there anyone inside?"
"Doesn't seem to be anyone?"
After the two of them finished saying this, at this moment, Li Yao suddenly discovered something.
"Brother, there's a lock on the door."
"Locks? I know. β
I remember that when I woke up three months ago, Li Yao had another key on her body in addition to the envelope, probably because her family expected that she might not be at home, so she left it on Li Yao.
"Xiao Yao, the key is still on you."
"Yes."
Li Hu took the key from Li Yao's pocket and inserted it into the keyhole of the door lock.
"Alright, now I'm going to go."
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
Li Hu and Li Yao stared at the lock on the door with nervous expressions and nodded.
However, this is also understandable, according to the instructions on the envelope, after all, this is likely to be Li Hu's home, if this key can open the door in front of him, it means that Li Hu and Li Yao have indeed lived here.
And maybe after a little wait, the biological parents will come back here, and although I can't remember what they look like, even if it's just a simple meeting, it's undoubtedly a special experience.
But if the key can't open this door, then Li Hu and Li Yao's future will be confused, losing their memories and unable to find their biological parents, which is also the worst and worst result.
So it's natural to be nervous.
"It's on!"
With a "clang", Li Hu realized that the key in his hand had opened the door.
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
ββ¦β¦ Uh-huh. β
Then Li Hu and Li Yao exchanged eyes, nodded to each other and pushed open the door.
