.unconsciously. [Source of this book]
Two full days and two nights have passed.
In a strange place.
Pan Ting suddenly opened her eyes.
The first time she woke up, she found that she was sleeping on a slightly hard bed and looked around.
It is a relatively simple sleeping room.
"Here...where is it? I'm already dead."
Panting quickly recalled what happened before she fell into coma and knew that she had been shot in the chest.
Thinking of this, she tried to sit up, but... she felt so tired that she couldn't support her body at all.
"Don't move around. Your current injury has not recovered enough to get up. If you want to get up and move around normally, you will have to rest for at least two weeks."
At this time, a slow and steady voice came from the door of the lying room.
Just by listening to the voice, you can tell he is an old man.
Moreover, he is a very indifferent old man. It is strange that a person's voice can be so picturesque.
Even because of this unfamiliar voice, Pan Ting suddenly felt a sense of comfort and stability in her heart.
An unprecedented sense of calm came over me, as if I was home.
It's like when I was a child, I came home, lay on my quilt, and listened to my mother telling stories to sleep.
Makes people feel very safe.
When Pan Ting woke up just now, she felt very panicked because she didn't know where she was now. This was the first time since she could remember that she woke up and found that she was in a strange place, and this place was so strange. It is simple and shabby and even has a hint of coldness.
However, the moment the old man's voice came to her, she no longer felt any uneasiness at all.
"you are… "
Pan Ting tried hard to sit up, but she really couldn't use the strength.
But she didn't need to worry, because the old man had already walked over, and then a pair of old but powerful hands gently helped Pan Ting up, and put a few more pillows under the back of her head.
At this time, Pan Ting finally saw the old man in front of her clearly.
This is an old gentleman who looks thin and always has a smile on his face.
He was wearing a simple commoner, dressed like a poor and lower-middle peasant, but he faintly exuded a sense of being an outsider, a powerful aura that permeated the entire house invisibly, but this A powerful aura, but without any lethality or aggression at all, it shines on everything like the warm sun.
“…”
Pan Ting was silent for a moment, and she realized that she had been rescued.
I was saved by the old man in front of me who made me feel unusually at ease.
She still felt pain on the left side of her chest. She lowered her eyes and saw that the wound had been bandaged. In other words... she was not dead, but had a lucky escape.
When her thoughts gradually returned to calmness, Pan Ting thought about it and finally asked the question that she had wanted to ask just now but had not dared to ask.
That's the question of...whether Lorraine is still alive.
"Old sir, you saved me, right?"
The old gentleman smiled and nodded when he heard this, and then said: "Yes."
"How to save it."
"When I was practicing, I accidentally encountered you who were seriously injured and unconscious. It's fate."
"We, then... how is he?"
Pan Ting's heart trembled when she heard this and asked.
The old man said: "His injuries are much more serious than yours. You were shot in the chest. Fortunately, it seemed to have been blocked by something. The bullet deviated from its position. Fortunately, it didn't hurt you." Heart, that's why you saved your life. Otherwise, I couldn't save you. The man's head was severely injured and he is still in a coma. When will he wake up? I can’t predict it, but at least I can guarantee now that his life is not in danger for the time being. (·~)”
As he spoke, the old man raised his finger and pointed to the room inside.
"He is in that room. I specially cooked a herbal medicine in that room. During his coma, he can continuously inhale the herbal gas. It is regarded as gas therapy. It should be helpful to his recovery."
"I... I'm going to take a look."
As Pan Ting spoke, she made a move to stand up. At this time, she struggled to hold her body up and actually moved a little.
But under this slight movement, the wound on her chest was affected, and the pain was severe, making her feel unprecedented pain.
"hiss."
Pan Ting's face was already a little pale, and the pain this time made her face even more pale.
"If you insist on getting up and taking a look... then drink this first and I'll help you over."
With that said, the old man handed the medicinal soup he had just brewed in front of Pan Ting.
Pan Ting took a small sip and found it was extremely bitter, but good medicine tasted bitter. She didn't have any princess disease. She immediately shrugged her nose and drank the whole bowl.
... With the support of the old man, Pan Ting endured the severe pain of her injury and came to the room next door dedicated to Lorraine for "qi therapy".
There was a strong smell that seemed to be fragrant but not fragrant. Pan Ting looked at Lorraine who was lying quietly.
There was a thick band of gauze wrapped around his head.
"I don't know what you have gone through, and I don't know, old man, what this young man has gone through. The damage on his body is very serious. Not only his head, his internal organs, and even his meridians have been damaged. He suffered various serious injuries of varying degrees, and a certain acupuncture point on his body seemed to have experienced some kind of stimulation, causing his entire meridian system to be severely affected. When I found you, you two were unconscious on the shore. Bian, it's a good thing that I, the old man, discovered it. If you were discovered by other people in this village, even if you are treated, it will be able to save you at most, but it will not be able to save this young man's life. "
The old man said.
“…”
Pan Ting felt severe pain in her heart at this time.
However, there was a sense of happiness in her heart for no reason.
She walked forward slowly and looked at Lorraine's pale and bloodless face, but fortunately there was still a trace of life in her face. There were tears quietly in her eyes.
To be honest, this was the first time she could look at Lorraine so quietly and without any scruples.
She found that Lorraine was so perfect no matter how she looked at it.
In her eyes, Lorraine is the most fascinating man in the world.
Perhaps, this is what is called beauty in the eye of the beholder.
However... Pantene also had a gut feeling.
She felt that if she could escape with Lorraine, she should have something to do with Lorraine.
Because she knew that when she lost consciousness, Lorraine still had a glimmer of consciousness.
Logically speaking, there was no doubt that the two people would sink to the bottom of the sea at that time, but they appeared here, and this gentleman said that he found them on the shore. There was no need for him to lie. The waves were really strong there. It was difficult to wash the two of them to the shore, so there was only one possibility. Lorraine used his only trace of consciousness to bring Panting closer to the shore in some way.
She could imagine how Lorraine, as a man, fought against the sea for certain beliefs.
... She guessed right. After Lorraine sank to the bottom of the sea, he used a silver needle to prick the acupuncture point that could mobilize all the breath. Then his unlimited potential was instantly stimulated. He used that somewhat manic state to lead With Pan Ting, we cruised all the way to the north.
When he saw the coastal scene in front of him becoming clearer and clearer, in the darkness, he finally felt discouraged, could no longer hold on, and completely lost consciousness.
Fortunately, a huge wave came behind them and pushed the two of them to the shore.
As for this master... he must be a being with some stories and skills. He didn't know what he was doing on the coast in the dark night, but he happened to find Lorraine and Pantene, so he rescued the two people. .
... Since Lorraine needs to continue "qi therapy", it is not good to be overly disturbed.
So Pan Ting left the room where Lorraine was "sleeping" at this time, and returned to the place where she relied just now.
"Master, thank you for your help. I don't know what to call you."
"Haha, life is nothing. Come and go with your butt naked. The name is just a code name. In this village, everyone always likes to call me 'Uncle Medicine' because I like to collect medicine and make medicine. It is quite popular in this village, so if you have nowhere to go for the time being, you can stay here. If you feel bad about it, you can give me a massage when you are healed. People who come to my place for medical treatment on weekdays are also welcome. Quite a bit. As an old man, I am quite busy sometimes."
The old man still had that faint smile on his face. Behind his kind and calm smile, there was great wisdom.
He could see that Lorraine and Pan Ting were probably being hunted by some enemies. Since they survived the catastrophe and were saved by him, there was nothing wrong with taking them in because they were destined to be with them. Besides... this While the master was healing Lorraine, he accidentally detected the residual aura contained in Lorraine's body.
Those smells attracted his special attention.
He wanted to wait until the young man woke up and ask questions.
"If it's really possible...then...thank you, Uncle Yao."
Pan Ting felt very grateful, and she immediately thanked him.
Uncle Yao shook his head gently and said with a smile: "No need, I am destined to you two. Oh, by the way, how should I call you, girl."
"I..." Pan Ting hesitated for a moment, "Call me... Xiaoqing."
Just now, Pan Ting was thinking that if they survived the catastrophe, they would have good luck in the future. This was considered a day of sunshine after the rain, so she blurted out and took the word "Qing" as her name.
"Oh, what about that young man?"
"he… "
Pan Ting paused for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "His name is Xiaotian."
"Xiaotian, Xiaoqing." Uncle Yao smiled when he heard this, "The sky is sunny after the rain, haha, a very suitable name."
