Three days passed in a flash.
In the past few days in the Outer Xing'an Mountains, except for Jiunianggou, where the Dragon King Festival is being held, other places are very peaceful, and the days seem to have returned to the past.
But after all, it’s still not the same as before. There is one thing that is spreading among the villages:
The Dragon Lord killed a man.
At first, it was the mountain people near Longxinggou who discovered a crushed corpse by the river.
Then one after another, six of them were found.
That kind of death method that is smashed into a thin layer like spreading pancakes, nothing else can do it except the dragon king who is a huge monster.
The envoy of the Dragon King in Jiunianggou released the news that this group of people sneaked into the Wai Xing'an Mountains with guns, and they came for the Dragon King, but they overwhelmed themselves and were killed by the Dragon King.
After releasing the news, the envoy of the Dragon King hurriedly left Jiunianggou and rushed to the next stop.
As for where the next stop will be, he did not disclose.
The villagers in Jiunianggou only knew that when he left, there was a starling bird on his shoulder.
The bird's body appeared to be wounded, wrapped in thick bandages.
…
In the past few days, there has been no movement in the camp of the International Biological Research Association.
Lin Shuo lost Xiao Ba, as if he had lost his soul, he ran out day by day, the first time Anne followed, after that even Anne didn't let him follow.
Without Lin Shuo, the people in the camp had no choice but to stand still.
The huge "n-shaped" track, as well as the smashed corpses by the river, all warned the people in the camp.
Here, even with guns in their hands, they are still very small.
This morning, Yang Tuo walked into the tent where Anne was, leaning on crutches.
This surprised Anne.
In her impression, this young scholar was somewhat similar to Lin Shuo in character, with a natural arrogance in his body, and he usually didn't pay much attention to others.
Anne has always been the focus of all the environments she has experienced since she was a child.
In addition to her extremely high emotional intelligence and good personality, her peerless beauty will attract everyone's attention.
And this trip to Xing'an Mountains was the time when Anne felt that her femininity had fallen to the lowest point since she became an adult.
This made her feel novel and relaxed, but at the same time she felt a little bit lost, especially that guy Lin Shuo.
But Lin Shuo still trusted her no matter what.
As for the young scholar Yang Tuo who walked into the tent, his whole body seemed to be covered with an unbreakable layer of ice from the beginning to the end.
Today he took the initiative to walk into his tent, and Anne certainly wouldn't think that it was the explosion of her feminine charm that gave him the idea of getting close.
The beautiful woman closed the diary she was writing, and stood up: "Dr. Yang, what do you want?"
"How long are we going to wait here?" Yang Tuo asked.
Anne smiled.
In her heart, everyone here can be anxious, but Yang Tuo cannot be anxious.
Because his leg was broken, although He Zihong's bone-bonding technique is very good, and the splint Wei Xingshan made for him is also qualified, but it's useless for him to worry about a hundred days of injury.
"Dr. Yang, don't worry." Anne persuaded, "You should understand the situation. Things are not going smoothly."
Yang Tuo said: "Aren't the gunmen outside almost dead? And we should also make it clear that whether it is the hooked snake or the Black Water Dragon King, they all move through the waters here. We can definitely deploy diving equipment, yes Conduct a thorough search of the waters near here. I believe that we will soon find the hook snake's nest."
Anne nodded: "Actually, I've thought about this a long time ago. But first, we only have five rubber boats and no diving equipment. Secondly, going to the bottom of the water is too dangerous, even Mr. Lin, Facing the Hooked Snake or the Black Water Dragon King, I dare not go into the water easily."
"I can get in touch with diving equipment." Yang Tuo said, "As for whether it is dangerous or not, you don't have to worry."
"Dr. Yang, what do you mean?" Anne frowned slightly.
While the two were talking, footsteps suddenly came out from outside the tent, and Lin Shuo came in as soon as he lifted the curtain.
In his hand, he held a lot of herbs.
"Mr. Lin, why did you come back so soon today?" Anne asked in surprise.
"Why, no?" Lin Shuo replied.
"Of course." Anne glanced at Yang Tuo, "Dr. Yang is asking me about the progress of the matter, and he feels that we are a bit delayed now."
Yang Tuo glanced at Lin Shuo and coughed softly.
For Lin Shuo, Yang Tuo was suspicious at first, not thinking how capable he was, but later, seeing is believing, and he became jealous again.
Anyway, from the beginning to the end, Yang Tuo kept Lin Shuo at arm's length.
Seeing Lin Shuo's return now, Yang Tuo coughed to get his idea, nodded slightly as a greeting, and was about to leave on crutches.
"I'm here to look for you." Lin Shuo looked at Yang Tuo, pointed to the folding chair, "Sit down."
Yang Tuo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't object. He moved to the side of the chair, set up the crutches, sat down, put his hands on his knees, raised his head calmly, and looked at Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo walked up to Yang Tuo, squatted down, and looked at his calf which was fixed by a splint: "I happened to see these herbs today, so I just picked them."
"I have a broken bone, can herbs help?" Yang Tuo asked.
Lin Shuo didn't explain, but stretched out his hand to remove Yang Tuo's splint, then used the palms of both hands to grind out the juice from the herbal medicine in his hands, and quickly wiped it on Yang Tuo's broken leg.
Yang Tuo's whole body was shaken, his face turned pale from the pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
However, the young scholar did not say a word, but gritted his teeth, fixed his eyes on Lin Shuo's hand, as if he was trying to understand how this piercing pain came about.
Anne came over, stretched out her hand, pinched several acupuncture points on Yang Tuo's knee with five fingers, and rubbed slowly, Yang Tuo felt the pain relieved a lot immediately.
"Many things." Lin Shuo kept his hands on his hands, and raised his head to give Anne a white look.
Anne didn't care, and smiled at Lin Shuo: "He is already an adult, and this little pain won't let him have a long memory."
Lin Shuo ignored her, and after all the herbal juice had been applied, he pressed his hands against Yang Tuo's broken shinbone one after the other, and closed his eyes.
Afterwards, Yang Tuo only felt a burning sensation in Lin Shuo's palm, which spread to his wound.
This burning sensation is getting stronger and stronger, and soon. It was as if my legs were pinched between two soldering irons.
His injured leg began to shake continuously, and he instinctively wanted to pull it away, but Lin Shuo's two palms tightly hugged the leg.
Seeing this, Anne stretched out her other hand, made a virtual fist, and quickly tapped Yang Tuo's outer thigh with the second knuckle of her middle finger.
Yang Tuo only felt a burst of soreness, and the burning sensation in his calf disappeared immediately.
"It doesn't look like your family's method." Lin Shuo raised his head and looked at Anne, "Where did you learn it?"
"My mentor taught me." Anne replied softly, "He is a good friend of my parents. My parents died early. He passed on my parents to me on behalf of my parents. He also taught me some things. His own way."
"Is his surname Miao?"
"Yes, Mr. Lin, do you know him?"
"I don't know, I only know this method." Lin Shuo shook his head, and then let go of his hands.
Yang Tuo half understood the conversation between the two, but he soon stopped thinking about it.
Because of his injured leg, he suddenly felt normal.
The faint labor pain that had been tormenting him these days had completely disappeared.
Yang Tuo looked very surprised. He wanted to stand up subconsciously, but Lin Shuo held him down: "Don't move. You have a broken bone. If I treat you like this and you recover, then I will be a god."
While talking, Lin Shuo continued to tie the splint to Yang Tuo, and pointed to the crutch on the ground: "You will use this thing for a week, and it will be almost ready after that."
"Really?" Yang Tuo suspected that he had heard wrong.
It is not only a Chinese proverb that hurts muscles and bones for a hundred days, but also a common sense in the world's medical circles.
Now that Lin Shuo has made such a move, will it be all right in seven days
This is simply a fantasy!
"If you don't believe me." Lin Shuo raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Tuo, then pointed to his leg, "Shall I discount it again?"
"No need, no need." Anne said hastily, "It's hard to connect, and it will take a lot of trouble to interrupt. That's it."
"Thank you." Yang Tuo no longer questioned anything, bent down to pick up the crutches, and stood up with his strength.
"I know who you are, and I know you're in a hurry right now." Lin Shuo looked at the scholar, "You sneaked out in the middle of the night to make those satellite calls, Xiaoba told me a long time ago. But things always have to be done step by step. You can't do it recklessly. If you want to explain to the families of the victims, you have to live first."
Yang Tuo was startled, then nodded, and walked out of the tent leaning on crutches.
"The pressure on him shouldn't be small, right?" Anne waited until Yang Tuo was far away before saying softly.
"From what you mean, you also know who he is?" Lin Shuo asked.
"I knew it from the beginning." Anne said, "The Chinese side greeted me."
"Hmm. This person actually has a clearer brain than He Zihong." Lin Shuo commented lightly, "He Zihong is a bit too idealistic."
"As a scholar, it's inevitable." Anne said, "But Mr. Lin, you seem to be in a good mood today, and you can still think of treating Dr. Yang's injuries."
"It's okay." Lin Shuo smiled.
Ever since Anne got to know Lin Shuo, she seldom saw him smile, at most, the corners of his mouth twitched, a smile that wasn't on the surface.
The only time I saw his sincere smile was when Lin Shuo was chatting with the villagers in Guangxi.
She quickly realized, with surprise on her face: "Have you found Master Ba?"
"That's not true." Lin Shuo smiled and shook his head, "But there's news, it's still alive."
