The man who pushed the door in looked to be in his forties, with a strong build, a large waist and a round waist, some stains on his clothes, and seemed to have iron filings and smoke on his body, and the door of the ward was not so much pushed open by him as it was opened by him.

There were two teenagers who came in with this man, one of these two teenagers was Su Chang, the little fat man he had seen when he woke up before, and the other was a little thin.

All three were sweating profusely and panting, as if they had been running all the way.

"Liqiang, are you okay, where is the pain in your body now, are you uncomfortable......"

Before Yan Liqiang could speak, the man in his forties strode over with an anxious face, pressed Yan Liqiang's shoulders with both hands, and checked Yan Liqiang's body up and down.

Seeing the heartfelt concern and anxious look on this man's face, Yan Liqiang's heart also swelled with an indescribable emotion, in his last life, he grew up in an orphanage, and he didn't know what father's love was since he was a child, but he didn't expect that in this life, there would be such a father.

"Father, I'm fine, the injury has been medicated, I guess I just need to rest for a few days!"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!" The man's big hand holding Yan Liqiang's shoulder finally left Yan Liqiang's shoulder, and the whole person breathed a long sigh of relief, "If it weren't for Su Chang and Qi Dong coming to tell me the news this time, I wouldn't have known ...... you had an accident", after saying this, the man turned his head and looked at the two teenagers who came in with him," Su Chang, come east, go to your uncle's house another day, your uncle invites you to drink, it's not too early, your family is probably waiting for you, you should also hurry home!"

Su Chang nodded and glanced at Yan Liqiang, "Okay, Uncle Yan, since Liqiang has woken up, we will go back!"

"Go, go!"

The two teenagers were about to turn around and leave, but Yan Liqiang suddenly stopped them, "Su Chang, come from the east, thank you this time!"

The young man named Su Chang was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect to hear the word Xie from Yan Liqiang's mouth, he smiled and scratched his head, "This, it should be, it should be ......."

The young man named Qi Donglai next to him glanced at Yan Liqiang in surprise, but found that Yan Liqiang's sharp gaze was staring at his face, and the young man named Qi Donglai smiled, "Well, then Liqiang, you have a good rest!"

......

Watching Su Chang and Qi Donglai leave, a question inexplicably rose in Yan Liqiang's heart, I don't know why, he felt that Qi Donglai seemed to be a little nervous, just now when he was looking at him, the corners of his mouth involuntarily gently pursed inward, and there was a subconscious action of swallowing saliva, such an expression, according to Yan Liqiang's experience and experience in his previous life, showed that the person was very nervous at that time.

Why is Qi Donglai nervous when facing himself?

Suddenly, Yan Liqiang thought of the situation when he competed with Hong Tao today.

He was in the ring this time, it was indeed an accident, when he was competing with Hong Tao, for a moment, he suddenly felt that the calf of his right foot was suddenly numb, the whole body was stiff, and the movement was slow, and the result was that all of a sudden, Hong Tao seized the opportunity, rushed close to his side, and used an iron sand palm, and the two palms slammed into his body, beating him out of the ring of the competition, and he was defeated miserably, and he was injured, and it was difficult to completely heal in a short time.

He really didn't know that Hong Tao was secretly cultivating the Iron Sand Palm, but even if Hong Tao was cultivating, after all, the time was not too long, and his Iron Sand Palm had not really entered the house, and if he really wanted to fight, he would not lose so badly and lose so ugly in front of everyone.

"Liqiang, wasn't that Hong Tao on par with you before, you have also compared it before, even if he cultivates the iron sand palm and has a bit of heat, but after all, it hasn't been a long time, and today in the ring, you shouldn't lose so badly, what's going on?"

After Su Chang and Qi Donglai left, Yan Liqiang's father Yan Dechang immediately asked about the situation in the ring today with a serious face.

"I don't know what's going on, but there was a moment when I didn't react, and I was hit by Hong Tao, probably a little shocked to find that Hong Tao learned the iron sand palm...... "Yan Liqiang said in a sigh.

"The victory or defeat of a martial arts competition does not mean anything, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, as long as you go back and work hard, sum up experience, the next time you meet Hong Tao in the ring, you will definitely be able to defeat him, you must become the strongest one in your generation in Qinghe County, you must knock that Hong Tao down, did you hear it!" Yan Dechang stared at Yan Liqiang with blazing eyes, there was great expectation in his eyes, and his tone gave people inexplicable pressure, his hand fell on Yan Liqiang's shoulder again, and he squeezed it heavily.

What else can Yan Liqiang say, he just nodded habitually, in the past so many years, Yan Liqiang has developed the habit of obeying his father, and the "small goal" his father gave him in life is to become the first person of the younger generation in Qinghe County.

Seeing Yan Liqiang nodding, Yan Dechang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next time, Yan Dechang found a doctor in the hospital, and took the trouble to inquire about Yan Liqiang's injury, and learned that Yan Liqiang's body was indeed fine, but there was a little bruise on his chest, as long as he didn't practice martial arts and did too much exercise in the past two months, he would slowly recover, he bought two bottles of medicinal wine to treat injuries in the hospital, and then left the hospital with Yan Liqiang.

The medical hall is in the Guoshu Pavilion, and when the two of them walked out of the medical hall, the Guoshu Pavilion had already been deserted, and the martial arts arena and the ring were empty, without the hustle and bustle of the day, only in the medical hall, there were still people coming to see a doctor.

Yan Dechang, who walked out of the Guoshu Pavilion, frowned, his face was like a piece of iron, and the doctor said that Yan Liqiang needed to rest and recuperate for at least a month or two, and his face sank. Because if this is the case, it means that Yan Liqiang may not be able to participate in the Guoshu County test in two months......

Outside the Guoshu Museum is Qinghe County, the county seat is naturally the most prosperous place in Qinghe County, the street outside the Guoshu Museum is five zhang wide, the street is full of traffic, people come and go, the street shops are lined with high-rise buildings, and it is very lively.

At this moment, the sun is setting, the sky is just a little dark, and strings of red lanterns have been hung at the doors of some shops. Among the people who come and go on the street, many people are wearing long shirts and Hanfu, and there are swords hanging on their waists.

Yan Dechang looked left and right, and directly ordered Yan Liqiang, "You just wait here, just now the doctor told me that you have tried to move as little as possible in the past few days, I will call a car, there are still a few miles from here to home, let's take the car back today!"

After speaking, Yan Dechang didn't wait for Yan Liqiang to speak, and walked straight to the side of the street to find the car.

Watching Yan Dechang leave, Yan Liqiang smiled bitterly in his heart, as a father, Yan Dechang managed Yan Liqiang too much, in his memory, Yan Dechang was a tiger father, from childhood to adulthood, he arranged everything for Yan Liqiang, don't worry about anything Yan Liqiang, the only thing Yan Liqiang needs to do is to practice martial arts, practice martial arts, practice martial arts, become stronger, become stronger, become stronger, become stronger, and it is precisely because of such a father that Yan Liqiang has hardly had any life and fun of his peers since he was a child, and he has no good friends, In the school in the town, almost no one wants to get too close to Yan Liqiang, and because there are more training and fighting courses in the school, in these courses, those classmates who have been beaten by Yan Liqiang naturally hate Yan Liqiang, which is why so many people gloated after Yan Liqiang was knocked out of the ring today, and some people even deliberately threw him off the stretcher.

I have to say that in terms of human sophistication and interpersonal communication, in the past ten years, Yan Liqiang has been a living negative teaching material.

As for Su Chang and Qi Donglai, the two of them have not been close to Yan Liqiang for a long time, it has not been a year, and it is also because one day last year, when Yan Liqiang was out of school, Yan Liqiang saw that the two of them were bullied and blackmailed by several people in the school, Yan Liqiang rescued the two of them once, and since then, Su Chang and Qi Donglai have regarded Yan Liqiang as good friends and have a relationship with Yan Liqiang.

And waited for Yan Dechang's figure to disappear at the end of the street, Yan Liqiang squatted down, rolled up the trouser leg of his right pants, and looked at it carefully.

With almost no effort, Yan Liqiang relied on his feelings at the time, and found a red blood spot on the calf of his right foot, which looked like it had been pricked by a needle, and correspondingly, in this position on the rolled up trousers, there was also a small area where the color was a little dark, if it had been stained with a drop of oil.

It's just such a small trace, if you don't look closely, you can't even find it.

Looking at the trace left on his calf, Yan Liqiang's eyes froze, and he instantly thought of something in his mind - ice ants.

Ice ants are bizarre creatures that are highly venomous, and when bitten by an ice ant, it can make people numb all over their bodies.

Most of the ice ants only live in the mountains and forests, and ordinary ants, they are social animals, and they rarely appear in crowded places, but it cannot be said that there are absolutely none, because almost every year, Yan Liqiang will hear that there are hunters or woodcutters in Qinghe County who go to the mountains to hunt and have news of being bitten by ice ants after returning home.

Ice ants are about the same size as ordinary ants, the whole body is snow-white, some are almost transparent, it is difficult to be seen at a glance, many people who go up the mountain, accidentally will bring back a few ice ants, for people, being bitten by one or two ice ants will not die, but the body will be paralyzed for a while, but if it is bitten by a group of ice ants, it may be fatal. Once the ice ant bites a person and releases all the toxins in its body, it will die immediately like a bee sting, and its body will melt like ice at the same time, turning into a liquid like water droplets.

The marks on his calves and the feeling he felt at the time were completely consistent with the characteristics of being bitten by ice ants.

How could there be an ice ant on his body for some reason?

Thinking of Qi Donglai's nervousness just now, it was just an instant, with Yan Liqiang's wisdom, he outlined everything in his head.

What a calculation!

Yan Liqiang didn't want Yan Dechang to know about such a thing, if Yan Dechang knew that Yan Liqiang's failure in the preliminary examination of the county examination was plotted, with Yan Dechang's temperament, he would really be red and find someone to work hard.

And Hong Tao's father is the pavilion chief of Liuhe Town, Qinghe County, several uncles of his family, some are in Qinghe County, some are in Pingxi County, several people are in the public gate, in Qinghe County, the Hong family can be regarded as a big family, not ordinary people can compare, and in Liuhe Town, the Hong family is the leading family in the town.

Yan Liqiang's home is in Liuhe Town.

After a while, Yan Dechang came back, followed by an ox cart......
