I don't know how long it has been, let alone how long I've been unconscious. There was still a dull pain in my chest, and I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn't open them at all. At this moment, I seemed to hear Want Wang's voice.

"Senior, can this really save my eldest brother's life?"

"There should be no problem, although the chances of success are not very high. But after all, your brother is a cultivator, and his physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. Don't worry, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor!"

"Okay! Then there will be Lao Senior!" a feeling of tiredness hit me as they finished speaking, and I fell asleep again.

This time it was a long, long time after a deep sleep, until the sound of a "thump" heartbeat sounded, and I coughed violently, and then my eyes opened with it.

I took two big breaths, and it was a little better. I was now on a bed in a thatched hut, with layers of straw above my head, interspersed with a few tree trunks as beams. Next to the bed was a small table with a steaming bowl of potion on it.

I sat up with my hands on my feet so that I could see the room in its entirety. On the ground I saw the mill and a small pile of dried herbs.

Such tools are generally only used by Chinese medicine practitioners or some charlatans. So I can conclude that this should be a doctor's house.

I looked down at my chest, and a scar the size of a palm was visible. "Did I really change my mind?"

I sighed softly, then stood up and walked outside with my hand on the wall. As soon as I arrived at the door, a vicissitudes of voice came from outside the door.

"Young man, are you awake?"

I was stunned and hurriedly pushed the door open. An old man with white hair in a blue robe appeared in my sight. This old man's face is ruddy, but he is a Luo pot.

I smiled at him and said, "Senior, you saved my life, right? ”

At this point, I will bow down.

Seeing this, the old man smiled and said: "This is nothing, since I am a person who studies medicine, it is my duty to treat diseases and save people." You don't have to be so polite, forget about all this red tape. Oh, yes, how are you feeling right now? Is there anything wrong?"

I was stunned for a moment, then checked myself, and then replied, "Senior, I have recovered now and do not have any discomfort. ”

"It's very good, you're just recovering from a serious illness, and you still need to recuperate. Let's go back to the house and lie down!"

I nodded, and was about to go back to the house, but as soon as I thought of Wangwang and them, I immediately asked the old man again, "Senior, where are the people who sent me to you?"

The hunchbacked old man put down the herbs in his hand and replied, "They all went back, saying that there are some things to deal with in S City." Let me tell you, don't think about anything, take good care of your illness, and when your body really recovers, you can go back to S City to find them. Also, I drank the decoction on the table, and then went to sleep obediently. Go for it!"

I listened to this, let out a soft sigh, and walked into the room. Lying on the bed, I pulled out my phone from my backpack, but unfortunately it was out of battery. And there is no power supply in such a straw house, and it seems that I can only wait for my body to heal if I want to contact Want Want and them.

I picked up the soup bowl on the table and drank it down. After drinking the decoction, my head was a little dizzy, and after a while, I fell asleep.

This time I fell asleep, I actually had a dream. In my dream, I saw a small village. I saw seven or eight children playing together, and their faces were full of happy smiles.

A pot-bellied young woman came out of the room, holding a plate of washed apples in her hand. The children gathered around the apple as soon as they saw it. I thought the young woman was going to give the apples to the children, but then something shocked me.

The young woman's belly suddenly cracked, and a red head emerged from it.

When the children who approached saw it, they were so frightened that they quickly retreated. But the red head suddenly opened its mouth, and a red whirlwind came out of its mouth, and then swept over the children.

The cries, the screams, immediately resounded throughout the village. The children swept by the red whirlwind were turned to white bones, and their flesh and blood were eaten by the monster in the young woman's belly.

The children were dead, and the blood-red heads were retracted into their stomachs. The young woman gently touched her big belly, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

I woke up from this dream, and my forehead was covered with sweat. Such a bloody scene is really too torturous. And I wondered, how could I have such a dream?

After three days in the thatched hut, my body gradually recovered. I can already walk freely, although I still don't have much strength, but I have already improved qualitatively.

At noon, the old man and I sat around a stone table in front of the thatched hut, on which were the potatoes that the old man baked for me. Because the thatched hut is located in the deep mountains and old forests, it is a very happy thing to have a few potatoes to eat.

In fact, I ate such baked potatoes in Daxinganling when I was a child.

In the Northeast, in the countryside, stoves are built in winter to protect against the cold. Almost all the children in the countryside have eaten their own potatoes baked on the stove, and in their childhood memories, this potato is so delicious that it is definitely no less tempting than a chicken leg.

I ate four large potatoes in one go, and because the old man roasted them a little burnt, it made my mouth black.

The old man looked at me and said with a smile: "You are like my grandson, he was like you when he was alive, and every time he ate baked potatoes, he would end up with a black mouth." ”

I wiped my mouth with my hand a little embarrassed, and then asked, "Senior, how did your grandson die?"

The old man sighed lightly and said, "The plague, caught up with the plague. In addition to me, my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are gone. If it weren't for the fact that I had to go into the mountains to find the spirit grass, maybe they wouldn't have ended up like this. So sometimes life is like this, although you have a body of medical skills, but in the end you can't even save your own relatives. Alas......"

I saw a sad look in the old man's eyes, and then comforted: "Senior, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn! By the way, senior, you are my savior, but I don't even know your name." I don't know what to call you?"

The old man wiped his eyes with his hand, and then said with a smile: "My name is Liu Guozi, don't you see that I am a Luo Guo? In ancient times, there was a prime minister whose surname was Liu, and he was called Liu Luoguo. And my name is what my father came up with. ”

Liu Luoguo in the mouth of Uncle Liu is actually the minister Liu Yong of the Qing Dynasty, speaking of Liu Yong, you have to mention a big corrupt official and, one is clear and one is greedy, in the time of Qianlong, these two people are two extreme representatives.

I smiled at Senior Liu, and then suddenly thought of my own heart, so I asked, "Senior, have I really changed my heart?"

Liu Guozi smiled and nodded, "The one you used before can no longer be used, and it is useless to keep it, so I will replace it for you." ”

Unexpectedly, I really changed my mind. "Senior, who gave me this heart?"

Liu Guozi looked at me, and then said with some displeasure: "What do you care whose heart it is? When you're full, go to sleep, recover quickly, and get out of me early. I'm used to being clean by myself, and I'm always uncomfortable with you. ”

I saw that Liu Guozi was a little angry, so I said knowingly: "Senior, no matter what, I still thank you very much." I think I'll be cured in two days, and I'm not going to linger too long. I'm sorry for the trouble!" With that, I stood up, saluted him, turned and went back to my room.

After two days of cultivation, I really recovered as before. Now that he has been healed, there is naturally no need to stay here. I tidied up my backpack and pulled out a thousand dollars from it. It's not that I'm stingy, but I only have so much on me now, and it's more or less a heart.

When I return to S City, I will have someone come over to thank me. I put my backpack on my back and walked out of the room. "Senior Liu, my body has recovered. So I'm going to leave today. During this period of time, I have troubled you a lot. If it weren't for you, I might have died. There is no way to repay the grace of saving your life, I will kowtow to you three times, and I will thank you. ”

At this point, I got down on my knees and knocked my head three times. Liu Guozi didn't stop me, maybe he thought I should do it.

Now that you are healed, go away! I believe that your relatives and friends are waiting for you. ”

I stood up, smiled at him, and put the prepared thousand dollars in my pocket on the table next to him.

"Senior Liu, I only have so much money on me. It's all for you, and if you go to the town or the market, buy yourself something to eat!When I get back to S City, I'll definitely come back to thank you. ”

Liu Guozi looked at the money on the table, nodded and said, "If I don't accept it, you will definitely feel uncomfortable." In that case, then I'll take it. After descending the mountain, head east, and if you go fast, you should arrive at a small village before dark. The old man won't leave you, let's go!"

When I heard this, I bowed to the old man again, and then turned around and walked down the mountain. I don't know what kind of mountain I'm on at the moment. But as long as you charge your phone and get in touch with Want Want them, you'll be fine.

Although the mountain is not high, the mountain road is extremely difficult to navigate. Even as a cultivator like me, walking such a mountain path is tiring and sweating.

After a day's trekking, I finally came to the bottom of the mountain. Liu Guozi said that all the way to the east, you will find a village.

I walked eastward as I was told, until it was about seven o'clock, when finally the lights came from ahead. Some people will say, "Isn't my phone out of battery?" How do I know what time it is? In fact, I always have the watch that Ryuuji gave me on my wrist.

I walked in the direction of the light, and it didn't take long for me to come to the west end of the village. But when I first arrived, I felt a sense of familiarity.

Suddenly, I thought of that nightmare of myself. Isn't this dream village the village in front of you?
