Ancient Assassin Meets Modern-day Career Woman

Chapter 2: wake up

Views:

The ambulance came quickly. Although this is a suburb, a well-known public tertiary hospital has built a branch here to divert patients. It's actually not far from where Ruan Qing is.

With Ruan Qing on the phone and flashing his headlights for guidance, the driver accurately found the location and drove the ambulance off the road.

Medical staff have experienced strong winds and waves, and have seen all kinds of tragic scenes without changing their faces. This time, I took a second look at the man in black because of his clothes and bun.

Ruan Qing drove his car and followed the ambulance all the way to the hospital. The doctor came to see him, checked his vital signs, confirmed that he was in shock and coma, and asked Ruan Qing about his condition.

Ruan Qing hesitated and said, "He... fell from a very high place."

Falling from mid-air, the roof of her car was dented. It hurts just thinking about it.

The man was pushed to the emergency room. Soon the nurse gave her some bills and asked her to pay.

Ruan Qing paid all the money and waited quietly in the corridor, with many things running through his mind.

Time seemed to pass very slowly. I don’t know how long it took. Finally, a nurse came out and shouted: "Where are the family members? The family member wearing Hanfu?"

"..." Ruan Qing hurried over, "Here it is."

The doctor had nothing to say. When he was dealing with the skin wounds, he saw that there were many old scars on the man's body, all similar.

But Ruan Qing thought of the long knife in her trunk, and her heart tightened: "Do you want to call the police?"

The doctor had never seen the fierce siege on the high cliff covered by dark clouds. Of course, he could not have imagined that this was all done by relying on superb body skills to move dangerously and dangerously between life and death, leaving only shallow scratches instead of Fatal disembowelment.

The doctor said, "It depends on the situation. The human body has a self-protection mechanism, and it will wake up naturally when it's time to wake up."

Ruan Qing was stunned. She didn't realize this. Firstly, it was because it was dark and it was too dark by the river. Secondly, because he was dressed in black. She smelled the blood and knew he was bleeding, but she couldn't see the wound clearly in the dark.

The doctor finally decided: "It doesn't look like there was a fight, so I won't call the police yet."

The man was still unconscious when he entered.

After hearing whether to call the police or not, Ruan Qing sighed and asked, "When will he wake up?"

When I got into the car, my heart was still pounding. I calmed down for a while before turning on my mobile phone to search. I found a nearby Kaifeng restaurant to fill my stomach first.

"Then do I have to wait here? Can I go have a meal?" Ruan Qing asked.

Not to mention the blood stains remaining on it, which looks a bit scary.

The doctor explained the situation to her: "It is not life-threatening. There is soft tissue contusion and some subcutaneous congestion. We need to continue to observe whether there is a concussion in the future."

"There are some wounds on his body. I initially judge that they are stab wounds." The doctor said.

There is a cloth strip wrapped around the handle of the knife. Judging from the feeling, it must have been used for a long time.

But it’s impossible to call the police because of old wounds on a person’s body.

Suddenly her cell phone rang, and she came to her senses. She picked it up and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. It was an unknown caller, from a landline.

The wounds were very neat and could be judged to be sharp blades.

What happened today, one was terrible and the other was bizarre, made her mentally exhausted.

The doctor hesitated.

Ruan Qing listened obediently and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Cuts and stabbings are reported to the police because they may involve a fight or intentional injury, but such superficial scratches confuse doctors. They don’t know under what circumstances they appear in multiple locations on the body. Wound. Moreover, he also controlled his strength so well that he could draw several strokes steadily and shallowly.

Ruan Qing thanked the doctor, left the emergency room, returned to the car in the parking lot, hesitated, and opened the trunk.

The doctor said: "If you are not a family member, you can leave. Oh, did you advance the money for him?"

Ruan Qing said vaguely: "It's from the roadside. That place is by the river, and it's much lower than the foundation of the road... "

But the wounds on this man in Hanfu are puzzling, they are scratches. And it was a very shallow scratch. Although it bled a lot and looked scary to ordinary people, it only broke the skin. From a medical point of view, it was a very minor injury.

"Then you go to eat first. His vital signs are currently stable." The doctor said, "Leave a phone number and we will notify you when he wakes up."

The emergency room was packed with people, and there wasn't even an empty seat. Ruan Qing was not in a hurry to go back and took a rest in the restaurant first.

The doctor wondered: "How did you fall?"

Under the light, the blade shone with an icy edge.

"Where did you fall?" the doctor asked.

There are a lot of clutter in the trunk, and although there are lights, I can't see clearly. She turned on the light of her mobile phone again, bent down and stared at it for a long time -

The hospital didn't call her, which meant that the person hadn't woken up yet.

The doctor said: "That's it..."

Ruan Qing couldn't help but swallowed and slammed the trunk. When she looked up, she saw the dented roof of the car, reminding her that what happened tonight was not a dream.

The doctor asked again: "Are you a family member?"

She had not eaten dinner because of the trouble she had caused with her ex-boyfriend today. She had been afraid to leave just now, and now she was so hungry that her stomach ached.

"No." Ruan Qing said, "I was, um, passing by. I saw him unconscious and called an ambulance."

But it was neither a cut nor a stabbing. If it was either of these, the doctor would call the police without hesitation. The hospital has regulations in this regard.

There is no doubt that the sword is real.

Of course Ruan Qing couldn't say there was another reason why she didn't leave. The advance was a good reason, and she had really advanced the money to that person, so she nodded and admitted it.

Ruan Qing continued to be vague: "I didn't see it. He had already fallen down when I saw it."

Twenty-seven jumped from a high cliff and suddenly woke up! A masked man is putting his face close to his!

Without thinking, Twenty-Seven picked up a thin stick next to him and put it against the opponent's throat! If the opponent makes any abnormal movement, he can immediately pierce the opponent's throat and kill him as soon as he exerts his strength!

"What are you doing! What are you doing!" A woman's voice shouted loudly, "Put it down! Put it down quickly! Lie down! I'm checking you out!"

The accent is weird, but I can barely understand it.

The key is... the confidence in the other party's tone.

Immediately afterwards, someone blocked his hand and snatched the thin piece of wood away from him.

The movements are very quick and the strength is not small - but it is only the strength of ordinary people. In fact, from the moment the other party moved, Twenty-Seven knew that they were ordinary people and posed no threat to him.

He remained calm and allowed the other party to snatch the thin wooden stick from his hand, and then laid him down again.

Everything is weird. The house, the ceiling is as bright as the light of day,

The moment he woke up, Nian Qi thought it was daytime, but he immediately knew something was wrong. Even in the daytime, even if the partition door is fully opened, it may not be so bright.

The light came from the ceiling, a bright white light with a cold feel. Illuminating every corner of the house clearly.

Is it a lamp

If this were a lamp, one would be worth a thousand gold. Why are there so many lamps embedded in the ceiling

So luxurious!

People's clothes, accents, and hair are also strange.

The other party is a man and a woman. The man is wearing a white long coat, and the woman is wearing a pink top and trousers.

This woman actually had her arms bare, showing no shame.

Although it was quite offensive, Twenty-seven didn't make a fuss. He has traveled north and south of the Yangtze River and has seen a lot. He has seen Yi women in the south even wearing short skirts with their calves exposed.

It was this woman who had just scolded him and snatched the thin wooden stick from his hand.

She casually threw the thin wooden stick into a round bucket on the ground, and threw another one on the bedside table into it. He also yelled to the person sitting on the other side of the bed next door: "Family members, please be careful, the garbage should be thrown away. Don't leave the finished lunch boxes here."

There was also a person lying on the bed next door, and there was another person sitting on a round stool on the other side. After being yelled at, Nuonuo quickly got up and responded, then walked around and put the two flat monsters on the bedside table. The box was taken away and thrown into the bucket on the ground.

Although Twenty-Seven was lying down, his eyes quickly scanned everything around him.

The man in white robe leaned down and held his head: "Don't move."

The man's body is relaxed and non-threatening. Twenty-seven didn't move.

The man in white took out a small object from a pocket on his chest, pressed it with his fingers, and the object actually glowed.

Twenty-seven was shocked again.

What kind of treasure is this? Will it shine

The man in white illuminated his eyes with the luminous thing, extinguished the light, let him go, stood up and asked, "Do you feel anything? Headache, dizziness? Nausea and vomiting?"

When he asked, Twenty-seven immediately understood his identity—it turned out to be a doctor.

Although the surrounding environment was shocking, he felt relieved.

There is only one kind of person in this world that he must tell the truth completely, and that is the doctor. You are cheating yourself by telling lies to the doctor.

Twenty-seven sat up and answered honestly: "It's okay, I don't feel sick. My body hurts a little."

But his accent was so different from the doctor's that the doctor didn't understand him after he said it once. He had to slow down and repeat it before the doctor understood.

He asked again: "Where are my clothes?"

He was naked from the waist up, and when he was obviously unconscious, the people at the medical center took off his clothes and bandaged him with medicine.

The white gauze bandage looks very clean, and the bandaging technique is also very good. It is obviously a medical clinic with very good medical skills.

But where is this place

The place where he jumped off the cliff was in the wild mountains on the outskirts of Jiangcheng. How could there be such a medical center with such weird accents and costumes in the Central Plains? Never heard of it.

The woman in pink armless clothes bent down and took out a strange bag made of unknown material from under the bed. It was actually transparent and you could see the contents inside.

She handed the bag to him: "It's all here. Check to see if there is anything missing. When we were treating your wounds, everything we took off was stuffed into the bag."

It can already be seen that the identity of the woman in pink clothes is probably the maidservant who helps the doctor in white robe.

There are more than a dozen beds in this house, and several maids in pink clothes are walking around quickly and talking to people. They all move very quickly, and they look like they are accustomed to doing things.

These are all collected in the eyes in a few breaths when the gaze is swept.

In his line of work, quick observation of the environment and rapid integration are necessary ways to survive.

Twenty-seven said "Thank you, girl" and took it, took out his clothes and put them on.

He observed while putting it on. He didn't know why, but it seemed that because he said "Thank you, girl", the expressions of the doctor in white robe and the maid in pink were a little subtle.

Did he say something wrong

The doctor watched him get dressed, slowed down his speech, and explained the situation to him: "At present, there are no symptoms of concussion, but we must continue to observe. If you have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, etc., seek medical attention immediately."

Twenty-seven nodded: "Okay."

The doctor added, "I'll take care of your injuries. I'll prescribe you some oral anti-inflammatory drugs. You'll be fine after you pay for the medicine."

Twenty-seven had already tied his belt, took out his purse from the bag made of strange material, and tied it tightly around his waist.

When he heard "pay the money," he took out a silver coin from his wallet and handed it out: "Thank you, there's no need to look for it."

This medical center is clean and tidy, and the bandaging techniques are exquisite. Twenty-seven is not a person who is short of money, and if he has more, he will be rewarded.

The expected courtesy and the joy of receiving the silver reward were not there. The doctor in white robe and the woman in pink both stared at the thing in his hand.

The expression is very strange. Have you never seen a silver thorn? It shouldn't be. Just looking at the bright lights on the ceiling is worth thousands of dollars. It is definitely not a poor place.

Could it be that... it's too little

Think about the several luxurious lighting lamps above your head, and then think about the strange glowing instrument in the hand of the white-robed doctor just now... Twenty-seven took out a silver coin from his purse and said apologetically: "I don't know how much the consultation fee at your clinic is. , are these enough?"

Diagnosing and treating injuries does not involve setting bones or cutting flesh. No matter how expensive it is, it should not be more than the value of two silver ingots. All he took out were five-cent silver coins, two of which were one tael, enough for a family of five to eat and drink for a month.

The two people became even more silent.

The woman in pink spoke first and asked hesitantly: "Is this... silver?"

The doctor in white robe laughed dryly: "Are you filming X audio and video? The props are quite realistic."

Twenty-seven didn't understand what he was talking about. There are also foreigners on the frontier who cannot use gold and silver, but they also speak the Central Plains dialect, which is not what they should be.

He was also truly confused and said, "Isn't it enough? Can you please tell me how much the consultation fee is?"

Although his accent sounded awkward, the confused look in his eyes and the sincerity in his voice were unmistakable.

The doctor in white robe and the maid in pink looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, the white-robed doctor took out the luminous thing from his pocket.

"Let me check again. Is it a head injury?"
