The vibration of the boat landing on the shore made me wake up again just when I was about to fall asleep.

At this moment, I heard Uncle Zheng let out a long sigh of relief, followed by some noisy voices. There must have been 5 or 6 people

Ji Feng and the others carried me out of the cabin. Then, in a blur, I felt like I was being moved onto a stretcher. Then, I couldn't figure anything out.

It was a long sleep, and there were many times when I wanted to wake up, but I had no energy at all and had to fall asleep again.

In fact, due to my strong spiritual sense, I am a dreamer. I dream almost every time I fall asleep. However, this time I had no dreams at all, which is very rare.

When I finally woke up, I was woken up by the severe pain in my body, which was a bit more severe than when I was shot before.

"Are you awake?" I opened my eyes and saw the face of a woman wearing a mask. Her eyes were big, and her whole temperament could be seen. There was an intellectual beauty, but there was also fatigue in her eyes. It was her talking to me.

I didn't answer, and I didn't have the energy to answer. I could only roll my eyes and look around!

The lights on the roof were brightly lit, as if they were some special lights hung temporarily, but the room had an old smell, and it looked like a house in the countryside.

The whole room was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and I was lying on a boat, covered with a white cloth, and the area below my neck was covered.

There was another pain in my body, and it felt like a needle was passing through my wound skin. I couldn't help but hiss, and the woman's voice came again: "The order was made at the last minute, and the preparations were in a hurry, and the conditions were limited. , I didn’t prepare enough anesthetic, no, it’s probably because I didn’t expect you to wake up so quickly.”

What is she talking about? I was confused, and then I realized, was she performing an operation on me? I didn't go back to Hucun? What about my companions? I...

Thinking of this, I felt anxious, but I couldn't move. And this woman, who must be a doctor, took the time to sew a few more stitches while talking to me. The pain made me sweat.

"Talk can distract you, you can also try talking to me. Speaking of which, the physical fitness of you real Taoist monks is simply beyond ordinary people's imagination. Although these gunshot wounds avoided the fatal place, Ordinary people have to last for such a long time, and it would be a miracle to survive even if they were soaked in water. You are lucky, you can survive without even needing a blood transfusion. However, you have to make up for it later." As she spoke, she was confused. When I was still waiting to speak, the stitches were just flying, and it hurt so much that I didn’t even have the strength to moan.

There was a "clang" sound, which was the sound of tweezers being thrown out of the plate. A nurse came to wipe the woman's sweat, wiped my sweat at the same time, and then hung up the hanging bottle for me. During this process, the woman seemed very nervous. As if tired, he took off his mask, sat aside, and watched quietly.

After waiting for the nurse to finish all this, she said to me: "All the bullets have been taken out. You are no longer in serious trouble, because every bullet has avoided the vital point. You have to thank the person who shot this person." It’s so accurate, and it also has a deep understanding of the human body. Five shots, there is no such coincidence. If the technique is not accurate, you will always leave some injuries and sequelae.”

Does this mean I should thank Jiang Yi? I looked at the woman, and although it was difficult for me to speak, I still used all my strength to ask hoarsely: "Who are you from Jiang Yi?"

"I am not someone from Jiang Yi. He is the boss of the superior department. I am just a small doctor belonging to a special department. I occasionally treat injuries for special people. I had an operation all night yesterday. I didn't sleep long during the day when I was called Come to the countryside and treat your injuries." The woman took a sip of water while speaking, and then said: "However, your situation is a gunshot wound that is very easy to treat, not one of those weird injuries that requires special methods. , it’s not too difficult for me.”

After saying this, she put down the cup, sent the nurse away, and then walked up to me. Her expression suddenly became very serious, and she said softly to me: "In a month, you'd better try your best to recover from your injuries. . You won’t be so relaxed in the future, at least you won’t be able to use the identity of Chen Chengyi to act openly, otherwise there will be endless trouble.”

What's the meaning? My eyes widened and I tried hard to ask why

But the woman seemed to be very tired, yawned, and said: "Including sending me to rescue you, it is also the department's last help to you, taking great risks. You have just undergone surgery, so it is not appropriate to go too far." Excited, someone asked me to tell you that your companions are still alive and safe now, you can have a good rest."

After hearing these words, my heart began to beat violently. I wanted to call her to stop, but unfortunately she didn't give me any chance to speak and turned around and left.

I was left with a confused mind.

-------Dividing line-------

After a week, I could barely get out of bed and move around, and I knew where I was!

It is indeed in a remote countryside, to be precise, a remote countryside not far from Lake Village.

Because of poverty, almost all the people here who have the means have gone out to work. The only ones left are the old, weak, women and children. Half of the houses in the village are empty.

I was in an empty house. The owner had rented the house to a foreigner a month ago who said he wanted to inspect the geographical situation here. But I knew very well that this was the department's method. It felt like I was in a Months ago, he prepared to leave a way out for me.

The folk customs in this place are relatively simple compared to the outside world, and there is no sense of unruly people coming out of the poor mountains and rivers. Moreover, the information is not available, and people know too much and have limited knowledge. I am relatively safe here, and of course I will be safe for a month, except for being a little lonely.

The person who took care of me was a young man from Hu Village. Uncle Zheng and Granny Yun would also visit me occasionally. As for the female doctor, after I recovered a little bit the next day and explained some things to me, she left.

The young man who took care of me didn't like to talk, which made me a little lonely. This loneliness was caused by having something on my mind and nowhere to talk about it.

I haven't gotten out of bed much for a week, so when I got out of bed and walked slowly outside for half an hour, I felt a little weak.

But I was not willing to go back to bed and lie down. Instead, I stood in a daze in this small courtyard in the countryside, worried about my current situation and my companions.

"Brother Cheng, why don't you go back and lie down? It's already autumn and it's cold outside. If you catch a cold, it won't be good for your recovery." The young man had been silent while I was doing the activities before. When he saw me standing in the courtyard I was in a daze, and finally couldn't help but say something.

"It's okay. It's good for me to stay outside for a while and get some fresh air. Please help me move a chair here and I'll sit for a while." I said to him with a smile.

The young man hesitated for a moment, but still did as I asked, moved a chair for me, and also carefully brought me a piece of clothing for me to wear.

I sat down, and then the young man went in to prepare medicine for me. I don’t know whether Uncle Zheng thought of some idea or took out the things from the bottom of the box. In short, he came to see me several times and brought a lot of knowledge about the world. He said that it was already a precious medicinal material for replenishing the body, and told the young man to get it for me according to strict dosage.

But I stopped the young man: "Hey, do you have any cigarettes? If you don't have one, I have one in my luggage bag. Can you help me open a pack?" The one in my luggage that I was shot in, Monsoon took all of it for me. I brought it with me and put it on the boat. All my precious magical instruments were there.

"Smoking? Isn't this bad?" The young man hesitated.

"It's okay, just bring it here. I feel so depressed that I just want to smoke one." I said. The young man was helpless and finally brought me a cigarette.

As soon as the familiar smell of cigarette smoke entered my mouth, my mood finally calmed down a little. Finally, after these 7 days, I was able to calm down and think about everything that had happened.

I don't understand Jiang Yi's specific purpose of doing this, but judging from what I know now, he should be helping me! But why do you want to help like this

I can't think of the reason here, so I can only analyze the situation of my companions first. According to the news that Uncle Zheng gave me, that night, less than ten minutes after I left with Jiang Yi, our companions, including Lu Once Shan was inside, he left in a hurry, still carrying Tao Bai who was unconscious.

When leaving, there was a detail that Lu Shan asked Granny Yun to borrow transportation. This made me wonder. After all, we were driving to Hucun. Why did Lu Shan ask Granny Yun to borrow transportation

After blowing out the smoke, I analyzed it, and I can probably analyze a reason. There are no cars in Hu Village. When it comes to means of transportation, there is only one thing at most, and that is a boat? In addition to the special boats that go in and out of the natural array, there are many ordinary boats in Hu Village.

If this is the case, Lu Shan's purpose is also clear. They have already decided to take the water route, so they asked Granny Yun to borrow transportation and take the water route. Someone must have given guidance.

The key is that 40 minutes after Lu Shan and the others left, before Jiang Yi and I arrived at the natural formation, a group of people came from Hu Village. The identity of this group of people was unknown, but the guards left by Jiang Yi treated them very well. Respect, from the words of Grandma Yun who was present at the time, I can tell that those people were all cultivators, and their skills were so high that Grandma Yun couldn't see the details.

Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat. If Lu Shan and the others were delayed for some time, what would be the consequences? Is it scarier than what I encountered

The cigarette burned out, but I fell into a mystery within a mystery. I couldn't think of any clues at all, not to mention that there were more difficult things waiting for me, that is, I can no longer be Chen Chengyi. The identity has become an embarrassment.
