Volume 2 Winter in Iron Mountain Section 31 Awakening
A week later......
Half-asleep and half-awake, he seemed to hear many voices, sometimes whispering, sometimes shouting, sometimes the sound of metal objects colliding......
His head was dizzy, and he only felt that his body was in a state of weightlessness, sometimes the sky was spinning, sometimes floating in the void.
"Who am I? What is this place? A thought crossed his mind.
"Who am I?" He thought and thought, I don't know how long time has passed......
At one point, he suddenly remembered.
"I'm iron slag!" Thinking of this, he woke up slowly. I slowly opened my eyes, but I immediately closed them, and it seemed that the whole world was only a blinding white light. After a while, he gradually adjusted to the light, and rolled his eyes to look around.
He found himself lying on a bed covered with a white quilt with a red cross printed on it. White curtains were drawn around him, and through the gaps between the curtains, he could see the row of seats against the wall outside. On that row of seats, some people were chatting cross-legged, some were taking hanging needles, and some were reading books by themselves, and the scene was a bit chaotic.
He remembered that this was the small clinic of the Narcissus Doctor. Then he tried to get up, but he felt that he had no strength in his body, and it was difficult to even turn his head.
At this moment, a small conversation came from outside the curtain, the voice was very familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was.
"Has Brother Tie woken up?" "No, but I'm out of danger." "Alas...... This iron boy, why are there so many disasters......""A gunshot wound in the chest, a stab wound, and a large soft tissue contusion, I am lucky enough to survive. "Do you think he'll ever wake up?" The eldest sister asks every half hour, and I'm almost crazy with her questions. ”
"Why didn't she come to see it herself, it's only a few steps away, and it's just a turn to ......"
The man lowered his voice obviously, and then replied, "This is Iron Mountain Town, although everyone knows about her and Iron Boy, but it can't be too obvious, otherwise it will be difficult for her to explain it to the Sand City." ”
"What's so bad to explain, what's wrong with free love?" "Be quiet, Narcissus Doctor, her family still has to arrange her marriage, forget it...... If I don't talk about it, I won't be able to tell you for a while. ”
"If you can't tell, don't say it." "By the way, how's he doing?" "Still asleep, see for yourself."
As soon as the words fell, the curtain was lifted, and the thin horse face of the old flute was revealed.
At this moment, the iron slag looked at the old flute, and the old flute looked at the iron slag, and the air seemed to freeze.
"What do you mean to say about me?" Iron Slag asked lazily.
"You...... This...... You...... You are...... This...... You...... You ......" Lao Di stammered with excitement and began to think a little confused.
"What are you, who did you say was the Iron Boy just now?" Iron Slag asked.
"Brother Tie...... Misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, it's a complete misunderstanding, I'm calling you Brother Tie. The old flute rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "It is said that people who have just woken up have some auditory hallucinations, right!" It's auditory hallucinations, don't believe you ask the narcissus doctor. ”
Iron Slag rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, help me up." He said as he struggled to get up.
Lao Di hurriedly pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't move, your wound is not healed yet...... After speaking, Lao Di called the narcissus doctor over.
Seeing the iron slag wake up, the narcissus doctor smiled slightly and said, "Iron slag, you are really hard, you are not dead from such injuries, not bad." ”
"How long did I sleep?" Iron Slag asked.
Doctor Narcissus and Lao Di glanced at each other, then pinched their fingers and said, "Today is the seventh...... Day 8. ”
"What about the others?" Tie Slag remembered that Ye Xinling was still in the stronghold, and Lao Niu had a close relationship with him, so he didn't know if it would be dangerous.
"It's all okay, Lao Niu went to the parts market to buy things the day before yesterday, and asked me to help transport them when he left." Lao Di replied.
Next, the Narcissus doctor carefully examines the wound of the Iron Slag, and the old flute goes back to inform Lena of the news that the Iron Slag has woken up. A few minutes later, Lena Xing hurried over, and as soon as she entered the door, she was distressed to hug her sweetheart, but was forcibly pulled away by the narcissus doctor.
"This is the hospital! Don't pull around here. Narcissus roared.
"Hospital?" Lena's black jade eyes slid to the side and asked him menacingly, "Who gave you your license?" Want to close tomorrow? ”
"I was wrong, sheriff." Dr. Narcissus immediately changed his tone and said reverently, "The wounds in his body have not completely healed, and if he moves, it may cause internal bleeding ......."
Hearing what the doctor said, Lena had no choice but to give up. Then she sat down on the edge of the bed, crossed her slender legs, took the fruit knife from the side cabinet, and began to peel apples for the iron slag. Her knife skills are very exquisite, and the peel of the apple is very evenly proportioned in both thickness and width.
Watching Lena's movements, Iron Slag recalls that day......
In the final moments, he saw her in a daze, when he knew he was safe, and then he lost consciousness. The memories of this period seem to be fragmented, and they are here when they wake up again. However, he still remembered the last scene, which was when Lena kicked the red-armored warrior into the air.
Unexpectedly, this samurai, who was wearing psionic power armor and could easily kill him, turned out to be like a helpless chick in front of Lina......
Before that, he only felt that Lena was a little stronger than him, and only if he didn't use the insect ability. And now it seems that he still far underestimated Lina's strength. The gap between them is no longer a matter of strength, but of level. It's like ants and elephants, there is no comparison at all. However, she has not shown this strength, perhaps deliberately concealing it......
"Sister Lena, who is the other party, why did you kill me?" Iron Slag asked. He knew that while he was asleep, Lena would find out about it.
"They are the people of the Temple of Prayer for Rain, and your little priest wants to kill you."
"Lily of the valley? She...... Why did she kill me......" Iron Slag only felt a short circuit in his head, he didn't believe that a playmate who had grown up could kill him.
"Yo~ Isn't it heartache......" Lena laughed.
"No ......"
"Okay, sister won't joke with you, it's not that the little priest wants to kill you, but the people around her want to kill you, it is estimated that it is the rain prayer sacrifice, I heard that she is an old nun who has never married, and her thoughts may be a little extreme." Lena said seriously.
"Why?" Iron slag still doesn't understand.
"If you soak someone else's priest, they will definitely not let you go." "I still don't get it." "If you don't understand, forget it, my sister doesn't understand either." With that, Lena picked up a piece of apple with the tip of her knife and tried to stuff it into the iron slag's mouth.
At this moment, Dr. Narcissus came out of nowhere and said to Lena, "Sheriff, the patient can't eat yet, thank you for your cooperation." ”
Lena frowned slightly and asked, "Isn't it okay to eat an apple?" ”
"Nope." Dr. Narcissus replied very seriously.
Lena narrowed her eyes and asked, "Doctor, can you eat apples?" ”
Dr. Narcissus froze for a moment, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all. Then Lena called the old flute, stuffed the peeled apple to him, then looked at the Narcissus doctor, and ordered, "Feed him." Then he emphasized, "Including apple cores." ”
"Brother, I'm sorry......" Lao Di looked at Dr. Narcissus with an apologetic face.
"What do you want to do! I'm a doctor and here's my clinic ......"
Soon, Dr. Narcissus was dragged out by several guards who rushed in, and the screams of killing pigs resounded through the small clinic. The patients all looked at the No. 1 person in Tieshan Town with trepidation, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
"Baby, my sister has driven the bad guys away, let's sleep in peace." Lena said.
Iron Slag's forehead was bruised, and he thought, "You drove all the doctors away, can you still feel at ease as a patient?" ”
"Oh~Sister forgot something~" After saying that, Lena seemed to remember something, took out a paper tube from her coat pocket, then pulled out a scroll and unfolded it in front of the iron slag.
The scroll was slightly yellowed, obviously some years old, and the font on it was simple and vigorous, as if a solemn and heavy breath jumped on the paper.
Hello, friends from afar.
We have received your token, and after the identification of the elders, it is a relic of the Holy Wolf bloodline.
To commemorate this forgotten history.
We decided to invite the owner of the Holy Wolf Totem to participate in our training......
……
(The following is to the effect that Iron Slag is invited to the Northern Temple for three years of training, two of which are in the North, and the last year is to the Central Silver City Military Academy.) )
Attribution – Forsaken.
After the iron slag finished reading the letter, Lena explained the contents of the letter to him in detail, as well as the whole story.
After listening to Lina's words, Iron Slag shook his head and said, "I'm not going, the Iron Old Man won't let me leave here, he said that we don't understand the rights and wrongs of Yincheng and religion, so try not to go to the meeting." ”
Lena didn't say anything, just analyzed the benefits with the iron slag. Although she knew that accepting the temple's invitation would help Iron Slag's future, she was reluctant to let him go, so she didn't try to mobilize him to go.
"By the way, what about Ye Xinling?" Tie Slag suddenly remembered that Ye Xinling was still alone in the stronghold.
"She doesn't seem to have been here, what's wrong? Missed her? Lena asked with a smile.
"No...... No. Iron slag hurriedly denied it.
Lena glanced at the iron slag with a smile, and then called the old flute and ordered, "Go and pick up Ye Xinling, just say that the iron slag misses her." ”
Lao Di nodded and left, and Iron Slag grabbed his hair and explained, "It's not that I miss her, but I'm afraid that she won't be safe at home alone." ”
"Know...... I know......" Lena said in a long voice, "my baby is the kindest." ”
Iron Slag only felt that his blood was churning, and he shouted weakly, "It's not a kind ......."
"I'm not angry~ Baby is not angry~" "I'm not a treasure...... What treasure......" "Beware of liver, small biscuits. ”
