Chapter 179: Storm and pond fish

Views:

The cheerful chirping of birds outside the window woke up Zhang Tie. When Zhang Tie woke up, he opened his eyes and saw a comfortable beige ceiling, covered with a snow-white quilt, and the familiar smell in his nose. Yes, the faint smell of disinfectant immediately made Zhang Tie understand where he was.

This is a hospital!

Zhang Tie wanted to sit up from his bed. When he used his hands to support himself and tried to get up, the pain from his left shoulder and lower abdomen suddenly made Zhang Tie grin. Only then did Zhang Tie realize that he seemed to have been hit by two arrows before he collapsed at school.

Damn it, Zhang Tie bared his teeth and cursed secretly.

The wound on the lower abdomen is not very painful, but the feeling on the left shoulder socket seems to be more painful.

Lifting the quilt, Zhang Tie took a look. Damn it, the gauze that was just taken off was finally no longer needed for mummy. Why is it wrapped again at this time? And the more it is wrapped, the more it is wrapped. Could it be that this is the nickname of mummy? Any side effects

The sun was shining brightly outside the room, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. Zhang Tie got out of bed, walked to the window, opened it, looked at the scenery outside the window, and took a deep breath.

Outside the room was a hospital garden with a nice view. Zhang Tie, who was standing in the room, took a look and guessed where he was from the outlines of several buildings outside the garden - Shenghui Hospital in Black Flame City.

I didn't expect that one day I would be admitted to the best hospital in Black Flame City. It seemed to be the kind of high-end special care ward where one person lives alone.

Zhang Tie smiled mockingly to himself. The benefits of becoming an imperial officer were indeed not exaggerated.

Seeing the sunshine outside the window, Zhang Tie, who was only wrapped in gauze and bandages, stretched out a hand, touched the warm sunshine, and closed his eyes in enjoyment.

It was only at this moment, feeling the warm temperature of the sun outside the window, that Zhang Tie seemed to be freed from the effects of the terrible poison.

The feeling was very scary and stiff. It's cold, and the blood and muscles in your whole body are instantly frozen by a layer of ice. From your toes to your tongue, you feel as if your whole body no longer belongs to you, and the material body that allows you to exist suddenly seems to It just disappears and turns into ashes, and can no longer bring you any feeling.

At that time, Zhang Tie thought that he would definitely die. The poison with such a powerful effect is better than the high-grade rat poison in Tang De's grocery store. It’s simply countless times higher. Under the circumstances at that time, the process from the time he was hit by the arrow to the time he fell unconscious might not have even lasted five seconds. The effect of this medicine has already started to take effect.

That kind of feeling, even thinking about it now, still makes Zhang Tiexin frightened.

Zhang Tie hadn't even basked in the sun at the window for two minutes when the door to the room opened and a nurse carrying a tray opened the door and walked in. The nurse seemed to have come to change Zhang Tie's dressing. When she entered the door, she saw that Zhang Tie was already awake. She couldn't help but exclaimed "Ah..." in surprise.

As soon as the nurse called out, four soldiers wearing dark red military uniforms rushed in.

"Sir, are you awake?" a soldier asked with wide eyes.

"Have I slept for a long time? What's the date today?" Zhang Tie asked.

"Today is August 11th, and you have been in a coma for two days!"

Just over ten minutes later, Colonel Leibniz and a group of officers from the Iron Blood Battalion received the news. Everyone came to the hospital together and crowded into Zhang Tie's room.

Seeing that Zhang Tie had woken up intact, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Zhang Tie already knew that the name of the poison he was poisoned was Lan Shuang, and he also knew some things related to him that had happened in Black Flame City in the past two days.

Because of his capture, the entire Iron Blood Battalion mobilized and surrounded the Gregory family's castle. Zhang Tie was very moved by wanting to avenge himself.

A steward and a guard captain from the Gregory family in Black Flame City were arrested. Of these two people, one is responsible for guarding the weapons warehouse of the Gregory family, and the other is the immediate boss of Gris's father. Gris' father stole the crossbow from the weapons warehouse of the Gregory family to assassinate Zhang. Iron, these two people don’t know anything at all.

These two people were thrown out as scapegoats, which calmed the anger of the Iron Blood Camp.

Also arrested at the same time was Sood. Because it was Sood who wanted to duel with him, he was assassinated in school. No one knew whether Sood had any conspiracy with Gris and his father. One was in the dark and the other was in the dark. He secretly wanted to deal with himself, so after something happened to him, Sood did not run away. In the blink of an eye, he was thrown into the prison of Black Flame City. After some interrogation, Sood "finally took action". After listening to After saying that Gris did not come back, he took the initiative to contact Gris' father, and the two discussed how to kill Zhang Tie.

After Sood admitted the conspiracy with Gris and his father, Sood died of serious injuries after the duel and died in prison - all the details about Zhang Tie's assassination came to light.

Sood's confession cleared the Gregorian family of "the suspicion of being the mastermind of the assassination." Naturally, no one cared about the life or death of a small figure at this time. Zhang Tie just sighed in his heart, regardless of whether Sood was involved in this or not. This matter, this matter is over here, Sood is dead, there is no need to pursue it anymore.

In this incident, he was not unjustly hit by the two arrows, and the two crossbow arrows that were shot at him were indeed deserved. Although there is no evidence so far that Gris killed him by himself, Gris' father believed that , what else can you do. I only blame myself for being too careless and thinking too simply about Gris. I thought that as long as there is no evidence, others can't do anything to me. I never thought before that in this world, sometimes, some people want to do something. As long as something is confirmed, no evidence is needed at all.

Gris's father was not unjust for his desperate attempt to exchange his life for his death. It was only natural to avenge his son. Even until this moment, Zhang Tie found that although he had killed that person, he could not hate that person at all. Come on, maybe that man was a good father who just raised a bastard son.

The only ones who were wronged in this matter were probably the Soder and Gregory families. They were the two fish in the pond who were affected after the fire at the city gate. Of these two pond fish, one is a crocodile and the other may not even be considered a tadpole. It could only be regarded as a plankton. When the crocodile was in trouble, everyone pushed the plankton out.

These are the rules of the game in this world. Just as Tang De said, in this world things always happen to the rich and the poor suffer. It is the same everywhere.

The cause of the whole incident was Gris. Zhang Tie was also deeply reflecting on his childishness in dealing with Gris. Evidence was only needed by the weaker party. Used to comfort yourself, seek sympathy and support, but actually have no effect at all.

What evidence does the Norman Empire need to annex Black Flame City? What evidence is needed for a lion to eat a rabbit? What evidence does a courageous person need to take revenge? What evidence do the big shots need when deciding the lives and deaths of millions of people? My long-term mindset of being a disadvantaged group almost killed me in this matter. Encountered such a thing. What would a truly strong man do? He must have found an opportunity to find a reason to kill Gris and his father together when he returned to Black Flame City, and directly nip this threat in the bud. How could he give such a person a chance to plot against him.

Childish, childish, too childish! Figured this out. Zhang Tie's heart suddenly opened up a lot, and his whole mind also took a step forward and became more mature.

Another advantage of this incident is that originally, some people had some doubts about how Zhang Tie was struck by lightning, but after this incident, everyone became convinced. After encountering the highly poisonous Lan Shuang, everyone watched helplessly as Zhang Tie lay on his bed without any external help. Relying on the instinct of his body, he was able to resist the blue frost poison. This is simply shocking, if it weren't for the mysterious changes in his body caused by the lightning strike. This made his Acquired Lightning Strike Function Scholar Syndrome extremely strange, opening up the mysterious potential of his body's treasure house. How could he save his life

The first group of people who came in to see Zhang Tie, after chatting with Zhang Tie, each of them actually became interested in the thunder and lightning that hit Zhang Tie, the time and place of the lightning that struck Zhang Tie, and the details of the lightning. The size of the body, Zhang Tie's physical condition at the time, the parts of Zhang Tie's body that were struck by lightning, and many other strange questions were inquired about carefully. Even Colonel Leibniz showed interest.

Zhang Tie, who had been prepared for this, of course gave a flawless answer. If anyone wants to verify it, they can definitely find a place next to a big tree on the hillside of the place mentioned by Zhang Tie. Evidence of being struck by lightning. Unless someone has the ability to trace back time, no one can find the loopholes in Zhang Tie's lies.

"You should rest well during this period. The doctor said it will take a month for your injuries to heal. I will give you a month's leave. You don't have to go back to the military camp during this period. You can go back after you recover from your injuries!" Colonel Leibniz directly gave Zhang Tie a big vacation. Colonel Leibniz was in a good mood these two days. After successfully solving the matter, the sincerity of the Gregory family made him wake up laughing thinking about it in the middle of the night. Through this incident, Colonel Leibniz discovered that Zhang Tie was simply his lucky messenger. He was even more fond of Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie would not only bring him success in Nottingburg, but also in Black Flame City. Come roll good luck.

Colonel Leibniz felt that his decision to recruit Zhang Tie into the army was extremely wise.

After seeing Zhang Tie wake up, Colonel Leibniz finally let go of the guard. After a group of officers from the 34th Division left, those who had been waiting in the hospital and were restricted from meeting Zhang Tie poured in together. .

Everyone has been taking turns staying in the hospital for the past two days, waiting for news about Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie saw Wright, Doug, Brother, Beverly, and Wood. Everyone's face looked a little haggard. It seemed that they hadn't had a good rest in the past two days, especially the elder brother. Although he was trying to stay energetic, Zhang Tie could tell at a glance that the elder brother was tired. This fatigue was not Not from the body, but from the spirit.

When he saw his old man, whose eyes were already red from the heat, the first thing Zhang Tie asked was, "Do my parents know about me?"

What Zhang Tie is most worried about now is that his parents still don't know how anxious they will be in the past two days after knowing what happened to him.

"At first, I didn't dare to tell them. I told them that after the duel, you let the man live and then returned to the military camp. Because there were so many people, there was a little commotion in your school, but you didn't lose a hair. Later I found out There is hope for your recovery, and I don’t dare to tell them, so they still don’t know about it until now. It’s just that Dad seems to have heard some uncertain rumors outside. Last night, he mentioned you to me with some confusion, Mom. You seem to have become suspicious, and you were fooled by me. If it's convenient for you, it's best to go home and see you. Even if you don't enter the house, you can just say hello to your mother outside the door and let her take a look at you! "

Hearing that his elder brother was able to hide the news of his accident from his father and mother for two days, Zhang Tiexuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Not many people saw his assassination in the school with their own eyes. In a short period of time, the school became a mess, so there were all kinds of rumors. Especially when they spread outside the school, and because they involved the Gregory family, these rumors took on various forms. Thanks to my brother's deliberate concealment, my parents were not worried at all. This can be regarded as a great blessing among misfortunes.

Anyway, he had a lot of rest time next, so Zhang Tie was not in a hurry. He chatted with Wright and Wood for a few words, comforted everyone, and then asked everyone to go home and have a good rest, and also informed the Aircraft Brotherhood. The other brothers were fine on their own, and then Zhang Tie's eyes fell on Alice, who had been looking at him quietly without speaking since entering the room.

Everyone else walked out of the ward very wisely at this time. Looking at Alice's red and swollen eyes, Zhang Tie smiled and made a muscle-flexing movement with his right hand that could still move freely.

Alice's tears suddenly flowed down. Alice came over, as if she was afraid of hurting Zhang Tie, and hugged Zhang Tie gently. For two minutes, she actually lay on Zhang Tie's chest. Shedding tears without saying a word, Zhang Tie was suddenly frightened and quickly helped Alice wipe her tears, "I'm sorry, did I scare you that day? I know it's really not good to kill someone in front of you. That scene was indeed a bit bloody..."

Seeing that this man was still worried about whether the scene that day had scared her, Alice just shook her head, but tears burst into her eyes more violently.

"Then why are you crying?" Zhang Tie kissed away the tears on Alice's face, "You must not have slept in the past two days!"

"They all said that you had already reacted at that time. If you had chosen to avoid it at that time, the two crossbow arrows would not have hit you at all, because we were in front of you, so when you were deciding between life and death, you chose to let We live, push us away, and you use your body as a shield for us to face the incoming crossbows, isn't that so?" Alice held Zhang Tie's face with her hands, crying. There was already a deep affection in her beautiful eyes, "Why are you so stupid?"

Zhang Tie giggled and didn't know what to say. It was just his instinctive reaction at the time, and he didn't think so much at all. Zhang Tie only felt that while he was still standing, there was no way for Alice and the others to face danger. reason. Especially now, after knowing that those crossbow arrows were quenched with blue frost, Zhang Tie just felt lucky that fortunately those two crossbow arrows were shot at him...

"To be honest, I just feel happy now. Fortunately, those two crossbow arrows hit me! If those crossbow arrows fell on you, I don't know how to face it now. I can't imagine what it would be like because of What will I do if I let you lie here and never wake up? I might be driven crazy by this..."

At this time, there is actually no need to say anything more.

Alice's hot lips then took the initiative to kiss him. Today, Alice simply wanted to swallow Zhang Tie whole.
