Chapter Twenty-Three: After the Dust Settles

Looking at the starlight looming in the night sky, I lay on my back on the ground, thinking wildly, when I heard footsteps not far away.

I struggled to sit up and look over. Huang Wuyi was walking towards us at this time, and said as he walked: "Master Sui, are you okay?" I turned my head to look at Master, who was meditating, and I turned back and asked, "Huang Wuyi, what do you want to do?" ”

"Oops! Fenglin, since that guy is dead and the curse on my body has been lifted, of course I won't do anything bad to everyone. There was some truth in what he said, but I still didn't fully believe him.

He said to him, "You'd better stop playing tricks, or I won't let you go easily." ”

"No, no!" He walked over to us. I struggled to stand up, Huang Wuyi hurriedly stepped forward to help me, I didn't refuse, and came to Brother Zhang's side with his support.

I couldn't see the specific situation clearly in the dim moonlight, so I thought it would be better to go back to the villa first.

"Huang Wuyi, you can help carry Brother Zhang back to the villa." I said.

"Okay." As he spoke, he let go of the hand that was holding me and stepped forward to carry Brother Zhang. I limped a few more steps, came to Master's side and said, "Master, let's go back to the villa first." After a while, Master opened his eyes, and I hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Xiaofeng, you're okay, right?"

"I'm fine, Master." Huang Wuyi had already picked up Brother Zhang and was walking towards the woods not far away.

"Master, let's go back too." Then they supported each other and followed behind Huang Wuyi, the light in the woods was even darker, and the path on the ground was almost invisible, and they didn't know if the road Huang Wuyi led was right.

Everyone was exhausted from the battle not long ago, and they didn't walk fast. After walking in the woods for a while, we returned to the place where I had been held, and instead of going in again, we walked up the woods next to us.

It wasn't until we came out of the woods and saw the villa that I understood. It turned out that the room where I was being held was directly below the villa, and although it was not completely connected to the villa building, it was very close to the villa.

Back at the villa, dinner had been delivered and placed on a round table in the hall. However, everyone had no appetite to eat, so Huang Wuyi put Brother Zhang in the room, and then went back to their rooms.

When I returned to the room, I didn't wash, I lay down on the bed directly, the soreness in my body made it impossible for me to sleep, and it was even a lot more difficult to fall asleep.

After falling asleep this way, I didn't fall asleep, just a normal sleep. When I woke up the next morning, the content of last night's dream was blurry and I couldn't remember it at all, just like before.

I looked at the sunlit curtains, and although I didn't know what time it was, I slowly sat up and meditated cross-legged.

It wasn't long before there was a knock and a question outside the door.

"Hello, is it convenient to come in?" A woman's voice spoke. I wondered to myself, who is this?

After thinking about it, could it be the person Huang Wuyi called? Then he opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Oh! I'm a doctor, and Mr. Li asked us to come. "Doctor? It seems that Huang Wuyi really notified Mr. Li and asked the doctor to take a look, and then said, "Oh, then you come in, the door is not locked." A female doctor in her twenties walked in, with short neat hair, a round face and a smile, a white leather jacket, a medical box with a red cross on her right hand, and tight jeans and canvas shoes.

She came to my bed and sat down, although her appearance was not as alluring as that of female stars, but she also looked very well-behaved and cute.

"May I ask what is wrong with you?" She asked.

"I'm not feeling well all over." I replied.

"Not feeling well all over? How is this possible, can it be concrete? She thought I was teasing her again, but I could only describe it in detail: "It's true, it hurts from the palms to the toes, every joint, every muscle." "If I hadn't suppressed it with a sense of less yin, I might not be able to sit up now.

"Let me see." As she spoke, she leaned forward and gently took my hand and looked at it. Seeing that the skin on the backs of my hands had been broken, and the blood on the surface had clotted into scabs, she quickly took out the disinfectant from the medicine box to wash it, and then wrapped it with gauze.

I blushed, and a strange feeling immediately appeared in my heart.

"Aside from this trauma, it seems to be a joint and muscle strain from overexercise, do you think it hurts?" She asked with a gentle flick of my middle finger.

"It doesn't hurt." I said with a red face.

"Huh? So what about this? She tugged at my hand again, and suddenly a tearing pain came from my wrists, elbows, shoulders, and then the rest of my body.

I was instantly shocked in my heart, and the moment I said 'it doesn't hurt', my sense of lack of yin disappeared, and the pain in my whole body returned.

"Ahh I couldn't help but scream, tears streaming down my eyes.

"Ahh Sorry, I didn't mean to. I screamed suddenly, so frightened that she took my hand down and said apologetically.

"Whew! Not... It's okay, as long as you don't touch me, you'll be able to recover in a while. The pain in her abruptly lowered hand came again, and I couldn't help but shout again, and then I thought about hurrying to reduce the sense of yin.

"I'm so sorry, I'm going to get you ice packs." She said and hurried out.

After she left, I gradually regained my composure, and then began to work with a sense of less yin. It wasn't long before she came up with a washbasin full of bags of things, presumably ice packs as she said.

"I'll put an ice pack on you first, and I'll be much better with some aspirin later." She slowly pulled away the blanket I was covering and told me to lie down slowly.

She didn't take off her clothes and went to bed last night, and she didn't say anything when she saw that I was still wearing dirty clothes, and put a dozen ice packs on my calves, thighs, abdomen, etc., and then went out to bring a cup of hot water and fed me two pills.

"Thank you!" I watched as she spoke, although I saw her again that the feeling of less yin was gone, and there was a cold sensation in her limbs and abdomen, mixed with pain.

"No thanks, that's what I'm supposed to do. Don't get out of bed these days, recuperate for a few days and you'll be fine. She laughs.

"yes, got it." Then she went out with the empty basin, and it didn't take long for the master to walk in and say, "Xiaofeng, how are you?" ”

"Master, I'm fine."

"Hey! It's done, but I can't imagine that you've been so badly injured. ”

"Master, don't worry about me, the doctor just said that you will be fine after a few days of rest."

"Hmmm! You don't have to worry about the rest, we'll go back when your injuries are healed, and you can recuperate with peace of mind. After Master's words, he walked out, and I continued to lie on the bed, thinking about last night's fight.

It seems that the muscles and bones of the body are still difficult to withstand high-speed exercise, so it is necessary to exercise more frequently in the future.

Although my body couldn't move, I could still continue to practice Dream Harness. Half an hour later, she returned, with a plate in her hand and two bowls in it.

When I came to the side, I just wanted to move, but she stopped: "Don't move, I'll feed you." ”

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, now you're a patient!" One of the two bowls is soup and the other is porridge.

After she finished feeding me, she didn't leave, but sat on the side with me.

"That, how is Zhang Ye?" When I think of Brother Zhang, I don't know how much the yin and evil qi has affected his body.

She heard me and looked up and said.

"He's worse than you, and he's still unconscious. I don't know how it happened, but I heard my sister say that he had multiple internal injuries all over his body, and his whole body also had organ failure. The most obvious thing is that the hair has turned a lot grayer, what a strange disease! I sighed in my heart and asked, "Is there a way to cure it?" ”

"Now I can only recuperate slowly, I don't know how much I can recover, what are you doing here? Why are they all so badly and strangely injured? She asked curiously.

"This... I can't say. ”

"Why? I'm not going to say it. She leaned in.

"We promised Mr. Li."

"Oh! All right. She said with a little disappointment. She took care of me for the next two days.

In addition to her family, there has never been an outsider like this before, and the feeling for her in my heart is getting deeper and deeper.

On the second day of bedridden, she changed the ice pack to a hot towel and changed her clothes with her help. Originally, I was unwilling, but she said that the doctor had not seen anything, and that my clothes did stink.

On the third day, she began to massage me again, gently rubbing the muscles of my whole body with gentle fingers, slowly stretching my arm joints, calf and thigh joints.

In the process of getting along with her, I also found out the reason for the disappearance of the sense of less yin, because as soon as I saw her, I was nervous, my heart beat faster, the sun consciousness was chaotic, and it was difficult to control my cranky thoughts.

But there was a sense of happiness that filled my heart, and I suspected that I was in love with her. But a shred of reason tells me that it is impossible between us.

Not to mention that she is two years older than me, in terms of life and experience, she is a doctor in a hospital in Hong Kong, and I am a migrant worker from a mountain village in Qianzhou.

Although I knew it was impossible, I still wanted to be with her, and even deliberately said that my body was not well enough to keep her.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, she said she was going back to the hospital. And my body seemed to her to be almost recovered, in fact, she should have gone two days ago, maybe because of my request, or maybe because she had a little nostalgia for me.

I sent her to the gate of the villa, watched her get into the car, and was reluctant to wave goodbye to her, and she smiled and waved.

The door closed and drove away, leaving only a cloud of dust. At this time, only Master and I were left in the villa, and it seems that my willfulness has really wasted a lot of time!

With this in mind, he walked upstairs to Master's room. On the first day the doctor arrived, Brother Zhang was taken back to the hospital in the city by ambulance, and Huang Wuyi left the city the next day.

"Master, when are we going back?" I went to Master's room, knocked on the door and went in, and asked.

"Xiaofeng, the environment here is good, very suitable for cultivation. Mr. Li also promised to give us half a month for free, do you think you want to stay? ”

"I listen to Master."

"Hmmm! Then let's stay here for another half a month, just use this time to teach you Tai Chi. ”

"Master, has Huang Wuyi explained this matter clearly?"

"I asked him, but he didn't know exactly what happened. But I'm guessing that's something like this.... ”

"That evil cultivator should be hiding in this mountain to practice, but after the Li Group bought this place, they immediately started to open the road to survey. This move made him very unhappy, so he caught the first surveyor. But I don't know why, maybe it was because he was dying of life, or maybe the surveyor's system met his needs, anyway, he took the surveyor's body at that time. ”

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Snatching refers to seizing the body of others with a powerful primordial spirit, but this spell is extremely risky, and not everyone is suitable for snatching, and the slightest mistake will dissipate the soul." Master explained.

"What's the matter with that corpse?"

"That corpse should be the original body of the evil cultivator, and the disfigurement should be for fear that someone will recognize him. As for why he was discarded in the cave, it is probably because he wanted people to mistake him for a surveyor after discovering it, so as to give up the search for him. But he ignored that it was no longer the chaotic end of the Qing Dynasty decades ago, and that the outfit would only make the person who found it more suspicious. ”

"Maybe it's because he just won the house, his skills have been greatly reduced, and he urgently needs to replenish his vitality. So he killed four more people in the villa and absorbed their vitality. The next day, another rescue team came up the mountain with Huang Wuyi, and he found that if he continued, he might cause more cultivators, and that would be more than worth the loss. So at night, under the cover of the sea breeze, he came to the villa to scare them, and the driver Xiao Wang was stunned by him. This trick also drove the rescue team back to the city overnight, and finally had a car accident. As for whether the car accident had anything to do with him, it is unknown, but the driver Xiao Wang was taken away by him. ”

"That was also the night that he found Huang Wuyi, right?" I guessed.

"Hmmm! That night, Huang Wuyi thought he had taken all his precautions, but he woke him up shortly after falling asleep. Under the means of intimidation and coaxing, Huang Wuyi knew everything. From the current era, to the current situation in Hong Kong, as well as the attitude of the Lee Group on this matter, they have all explained. He should be overjoyed to learn that the world has changed drastically, and the Li Group's reluctance to publicize it also makes him want to continue to use the conditions here to lure and absorb the vitality of more people. Huang Wuyi naturally became his puppet. ”

"Then we got here, and you know the rest of the story. The next day was in the cave, Xiao Zhang and I had just entered the cave, and we saw something flash in front of us, and then we accelerated and chased after it. But the figure finally disappeared at the place where the body was found, and it was then that I realized that neither you nor Huang Wuyi had entered. ”

"Hmmm! As soon as you entered the cave that day, I also saw someone in the woods, so I chased after Huang Wuyi, and then fell for his plot. "I talk about my experience.

"Xiao Zhang and I started looking for you after we came out, but we didn't find you until it was almost dark. In the end, I had to go back to the villa, but I met Huang Wuyi in the villa, and he said that you got lost in the mountains and forests. At that time, I felt that something was wrong, but there was no other way, so I performed a spiritualist spell that night to find out your life and death, but I didn't find it. Thinking that you may still be alive, and using the secret method of sound transmission, I hope to keep you alive and not give up. ”

"Master, I heard your voice." I said with tears in my eyes, and I remembered the situation in my head again.

"Hehe, it's okay." Master comforted me, and then continued: "The next day, Huang Wuyi still followed us out to look for you, but at this time I already felt that there was something wrong with him, but I couldn't be sure, so I asked Xiao Zhang to quietly spy on him. Sure enough, in the afternoon, he excused himself by saying that he wanted to go back to the villa first, and Xiao Zhang quietly followed him, and finally found the place where you were being held. When Xiao Zhang informed me to rush outside, because he didn't know the situation inside, he didn't act rashly, and only after sensing your spell casting did Xiao Zhang break open the door and enter. ”

"Fortunately, Master and Brother Zhang arrived in time, otherwise I might not be able to hold on." I said.

"Yes! I didn't expect to survive this time, I thought I would have to explain in this barren mountain and wilderness. Master sighed and said, then turned his head and asked, "Xiaofeng, can you tell me why your speed has become so fast?" ”

"It's a floating dream!"
