Chapter Fifty-Six: The Angry Crowd
Ji Yijun stood on the elevator platform at the entrance of the school, holding a flatbed. Enrique lay on the flatbed, his eyes half-closed, and moaning intermittently from his mouth. The platform swayed from side to side and slowly ascended, and the creaking of ropes and pulleys could be heard from above, sometimes mixed with the sound of leather whips and the muffled cries of old cows. Because there is no electricity, the platform is completely driven by animal power, which is slower, but relatively stable.
"This thing is too slow. Enrique couldn't hold it anymore, and he also had a fever. Garcia touched Enrique's forehead and glanced at Ji Yijun with some concern, "Master, the priests should be able to save him, right?" The old people in the town all said that as long as there are priests who are willing to bless, people will not die. ”
Ji Yijun didn't even look at him, and replied absentmindedly: "They are not priests, they are doctors." ”
"Doctor, doctor......" Garcia muttered several times, not seeming to understand the meaning of the word.
"Well, anyway, doctor, there is a way. ...... Yes, there's a way, right?"
Garcia looked at Enrique's wound again, it was wrapped in white gauze, but there was blood oozing out along the way, and now it was all stained red, "There was a lot of blood, Grandpa Bourne said, blood is life, this time it has lost so many lives, Enrique doesn't know how long he will live less." ”
"Nonsense!"
"But that's what the old people say. They also say that wolves always die faster than dogs, so that we can cause less trouble. This time they were right. ”
"You shut up and don't talk much. Ji Yijun said angrily, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." The second half of the sentence he shouted out in Chinese, as if his poor Spanish vocabulary could not express his resentment.
"Yes, yes, Master. Garcia was visibly frightened, he didn't dare to say anything more, and walked to the other side of the car, where he sat down by the wheels.
Ji Yi fidgeted and spun around the narrow platform for a while, observing Enrique's wounds from time to time, and finally he walked up to Garcia, sighed quietly, and sat down on the ground as well.
It seems that after a long time, when Ji Yijun felt that his patience was about to run out, the swaying platform finally reached it. The two guards hooked the platform and placed a plank between the platform and the ground.
Ji Yijun and Garcia were about to work together to push the car out of the lift, when a man in a white coat rushed up, put one hand on the wheel of the flatbed, and pulled the car out effortlessly.
Ji Yijun took a closer look and found that the strong man turned out to be Liu Yisheng who had lost his memory. Liu Yisheng was wearing a white coat and looked like a dog, but his handsome face always revealed a dull air.
At the beginning, Luo Ling asked Feng Yao to take care of him, but Feng Yao didn't have any good way to lose his memory, and when he saw that Liu Yisheng was strong and strong, he asked him to help in the hospital. Over time, he really became a male nurse in the hospital, although his brain was not good due to amnesia, but he was a good hand at carrying patients.
Feng Yao really came, she didn't have time to greet Ji Yijun, and came up directly to check Enrique's wounds and signs. She quickly came to the conclusion: "The situation is dangerous, send to the hospital as quickly as possible, but it must be stable." ”
After saying this, Feng Yao carefully sat on the flatbed.
Liu Yisheng grinned, and without saying a word, he pulled the car and ran, and the speed was not inferior to that of a galloping horse.
Ji Yijun and Garcia looked at each other in shock, and hurriedly chased Liu Yisheng to the hospital.
——————————————————————
Li Jia looked at the black oppressive crowd in front of her, clenched the shell necklace on her chest with her hand, tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart, and walked outside the store. His gaze swept over the faces of the people around him, and he could clearly see anger and nervousness in their furrowed eyebrows, round eyes, and pursed mouths.
I'm not afraid of them, Hong Lifeng stood behind me with a gun. I'm not afraid of them, Ji Yijun has already sent people to the hospital. I'm not afraid of them, in fact, until an hour ago, they were friendly townsfolk with me. Li Jia has been comforting herself, looking for the courage to face all this from her heart.
When Li Jia walked to the street, the people surrounding the store slowly branched out a way, allowing him to see Zhang Hong, who was originally blocked behind people.
Li Jia didn't recognize him anymore. If it weren't for Zhang Hong's eye-catching black hair, and some of the original colors of his torn clothes, Li Jiazhen didn't know what similarities the person kneeling in front of him was with Zhang Hong.
His face was swollen like a watermelon, his nose was dripping with blood, his mouth was salivaing, his two arms were cut behind him by two strong men, and one leg seemed to be broken and swollen badly. This almost figureless guy who was beaten saw Li Jia appear, and screamed continuously, and then suddenly cried heartbreakingly.
"You can't do that to my colleagues. Please give him to me. Li Jia said in a deep voice, he knew that anger and scolding could not change anything at this time. Only calm can avoid the escalation of conflict.
"It can't be, this guy killed Enrique with evil magic. A middle-aged man standing next to Zhang Hong said, "When we were going to catch him, he used that magic to hit us." If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would have fallen like Enrique. ”
He pulled out Zhang Hong's pistol, which was a somewhat old May Fourth-style pistol. He pinched the head of the gun in his hand and shook it vigorously: "This is the thing, the evil thing, that killed Enrique." ”
"Yes, when I chase him, he will hit me with this. ”
"We saw him cast his spell, and Aunt Mary's pig was killed. ”
"The pigs are going to give birth. ”
Several young people chimed in, and soon, more and more people were clamoring.
"Smash the store and let the people inside pay for Enrique's life. ”
"Let them pay for the pigs, and the money for the piglets!"
"Throw them all into the river. Let the gods of nature wash away their sins. ”
"Li Jia, what can I do about this?" Hong Lifeng raised the muzzle of his gun, stared at Zhang Hong and asked, "Why don't I shoot a few shots to knock down the person guarding Zhang Hong, and then pull him to break through?"
"What a joke. Do you want the school and the people around you to form mortal enemies?" Li Jia suppressed his gun and whispered, "Try to delay as much time as possible and wait for news from Ji Yijun." ”
"But they're coming in. Surrounded by them, we're done. Hong Lifeng's gun was shaking, his hands were trembling, and the whole person was like a powder keg that was about to explode at any time.
Li Jia knew that Hong Lifeng's judgment was right, the attitude of these people around him was already a little out of control, in fact, his courage was not much greater than Hong Lifeng, his heart was beating wildly, his head was dizzy, and the noisy sounds around him poured into his head like a tide, making him unconsciously cover his ears with his hands, instinctively trying to avoid this terrifying scene.
"Calm down, calm down, don't make noise, don't make noise. He muttered in a low voice, and in a panic he thought of Xiao Chen, thought of Chen Hansheng, these people must be very decisive, right? He thought of the conflict of the first transaction, he thought of the raging fire in the library, what would be the outcome of this incident, and would it be so smooth? Finally, he thought of Selinda, that beautiful shadow. Yes, they are Selinda's compatriots, I am Selinda's lover, something must be done to prevent the final hurt from happening, something must be done to change the minds of these people, there must be ...... Even if it's a little sacrifice.
Thinking of this, Li Jia let go of his ears and yelled with all his might: "Shut up for me! Do you want to face the wrath of the magician!"
The people around had already begun to push Li Jia, but they were really shocked by Li Jia's roar. The crowd was quiet for a while, and the terrifying creature of the magician was still very intimidating here. People were a little annoyed and a little scared as they watched Li Jia slowly straighten up and slowly walk towards Zhang Hong.
Li Jia tried her best to control her weak steps and moved to the middle-aged man with a pistol. The middle-aged man took a few steps back a little nervously, pushed Zhang Hong in front of him, took out a firewood knife and put it on Zhang Hong's neck, and shouted angrily: "You, what do you want to do?"
They are afraid of me, Li Jia suddenly realized that the fear in the hearts of these people does not seem to be smaller than his, once he musters up a little courage, their momentum will go down, this is the meaning of the brave who meets on a narrow road.
Li Jia was a little more confident, his expression was much calmer, and his feet were solid, and he said word by word: "Enrique is not dead." Listen, he's alive. ”
"But how can you survive such a serious injury?" the middle-aged man asked with a less violent attitude, not quite convinced.
"Don't forget, we have magicians, and their abilities are beyond your imagination. Enrique didn't die on the spot, did he? ”
There was some talk from the people around them, the magician's abilities had been told for many years, and although these mountain villagers had never seen magic, they had all heard that magic was magical.
"The magicians in our castle will do their best to heal Enrique, and whatever your purpose is, at least wait for the final results to come from there. ”
The discussion became louder, and Li Jia saw that some people began to nod. "We've been here for a few days, and we've been getting along very well with everyone. Since we came, there have been more good things to buy here, and everyone has made more money from selling grain, so we can't let all of us make a mess because of the personal conflict between Zhang Hong and Enrique, right? ”
At this time, a voice rang out from the crowd: "What don't you know, anyway, Enrique was carried out of the village horizontally, everyone knows." ”
Li Jia looked for the voice, and it seemed that the person who said this was the owner of a local grocery store, and the school store had a big impact on the local grocery store these days, and these people really took the opportunity to stir up trouble.
Li Jia snorted coldly and said, "I know that some people are dissatisfied with us, but our magician master doesn't need everyone to be satisfied. I hope that no one will challenge the patience and tolerance of the magician, and no one can afford it. ”
He walked up to Zhang Hong, uncovered his clothes to check his injuries, Zhang Hong looked at Li Jia with tears in his eyes and trembling, as if he wanted to throw himself into his arms all at once. Li Jia nodded lightly to Zhang Hong, and then said to the middle-aged man: "My companion is seriously injured and must be treated, otherwise his life will be delayed, and you will be in great trouble." Let him go. ”
"But Enrique hasn't come back yet, so why should we believe you?"
Li Jia's eyes were firm, and the middle-aged man involuntarily put down the knife and took a step back.
"I'll stay, be your hostage, if something goes wrong with Enrique, if you want to take revenge, you will come at me Li Jia. ”
