I saw blood flowing from the corner of Chujiu's mouth, and his body was in a weird posture. He held a copper coin sword in one hand and inserted it into his chest.
My ears heard it intermittently, and Chujiu muttered vaguely: "Emergency is like a law."
At the moment when I was about to fall into unconsciousness, I saw the corners of Chujiu's bleeding mouth raised slightly, and said four words with a smile: "Please, Grandmaster!"
It seemed like I had a dream. In the dream, I could vaguely hear the sound of police sirens and the fierce quarrel between my grandfather and Mr. Xu.
"Grandpa!" "The ninth day of the ninth lunar month!"
I screamed and woke up from my dream. When I opened my eyes, I saw a white roof. Then I felt a terrible pain all over my body. There was a smell of blood in my mouth, and my chapped lips were slightly oozing.
Bleeding.
"Are you awake?" It was Brother Wanli's slightly haggard voice. "I'll get some more water."
Wan Li brought a bowl of water and an iron spoon and put a few spoonfuls of water into my mouth. As the water entered my stomach, I became more and more conscious.
This is a hospital. There is a large bottle of liquid hanging on a stand beside the bed, and the needle at the other end of the infusion tube is inserted into my arm.
"Why are we here? Where is Chujiu?"
When Wan Li heard my question to Chujiu, he looked a little panicked and pointed to the hospital bed next to him.
Turning around, there was a person lying on the bed next to him. That person's head was covered with bandages, and he also had a hanging bottle hanging from him. He was lying quietly on the bed, motionless.
With her round head and slightly thin body, she is obviously the ninth grader.
"The ninth day of the lunar month. The ninth day of the lunar month?"
I shouted twice, but there was no movement on Chujiu.
Wan Li shook his head and sighed: "Chu Jiu's injury is quite serious. Experts say it may take a few days to wake up."
"Brother Wanli, what is going on? Where is our grandfather? How did we get to the hospital?"
"oh oh!"
When Wan Li heard me asking him what happened, his reaction was a little slow and he said "Oh" twice.
Only then did I realize that Wan Li's entire face showed endless fatigue, and the dark circles under his eyes were as thick as a circle drawn with black charcoal.
"Brother Wanli, how long have you been without a break?"
"It's been four or five days. The mission the minister gave me is to take good care of you until you wake up."
I was shocked that I actually slept for four or five days. It should be said that I was in a coma.
"Brother Wanli, you need to rest for a while. If you continue like this, someone will die, and then the three of us will be lying on the hospital bed together. I will just watch over there on the ninth day of the month."
Wanli was a little hesitant at first, maybe because he was too sleepy. After I persuaded him for a while, he pointed to a button on the bedside and told me that when the liquid in the bottle was almost empty, just press that button.
Wan Li lay down on an empty bed next door, and within ten seconds he heard snoring.
Staring at the ceiling, I recalled in my mind the scene before I fell into coma.
The moment we took the third step, the dragon soul roared at us. It seemed that we had entered its attack range.
In the last scene in my memory, the smile on Chujiu's lips showed pride.
I remember that every time he showed such a smile, he expressed a belief that he must win. When he was betting with Zhang Feng, when he slapped the old ghost, when he played cards with Uncle Ding and the others...
When he shouted out the four words "Please Patriarch", he must have successfully performed some amazing Taoist technique.
But what happened next is unknown.
I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling quietly in a daze. I couldn't think of anything, and I didn't want to think too much.
The nurse came in and changed the sling bottle for us halfway through. It was not until the sun was about to set that Wan Li finally woke up.
Wanli's mental state improved a lot. After waking up, he apologized to me for leaving me lying alone for so long.
There was a "gurgling" sound from Wan Li's stomach. He touched his stomach and said that he hadn't had time to eat yet. He took an empty bowl and ran out the door.
After a while, Wan Li sat next to me with a bowl of noodles. He made a "squeaking" sound while eating the noodles.
Then my stomach started to growl. Wan Li said with a mean smile, the doctor said that on the first day after waking up, I could only drink water and not eat.
"Brother Wanli, think carefully about whether you have a younger brother who was abducted when he was a child?"
Wan Li put down the empty bowl, wiped his mouth with his hand, and said with some confusion, "No," and asked me why I asked that?
"You look like a bitch, just like my roommate and Chujiu."
Wan Li smiled, just to retaliate against me, causing him not to sleep for several days. Then his expression suddenly became serious, and he said thank you to me.
"no need thank me?"
"Although I don't know what you did, I know that you saved me once."
Wan Li took a deep breath, his body trembled a little, as if he thought of something terrible.
"I just felt very magical at the time. Standing in the air was like walking on flat ground, and I suddenly felt playful. When I walked to the third step, I suddenly felt like a big mountain appeared above my head, and I couldn't breathe.
I was angry. I resisted with all my strength, and then I didn’t know anything anymore.”
"and after?"
Seeing that I wanted to sit up, Wan Li took the pillow from the bed next door and put it on my back. I leaned against the head of the bed and sat listening to Wan Li's account of what happened next.
After Wan Li woke up in a daze, he opened his eyes and saw me lying on the ground not far away, bleeding from all my orifices.
The next thing I heard was Chujiu's voice, but it didn't sound like Chujiu's tone. This voice was filled with extreme anger and said loudly:
"A crazy little bug dares to bully my disciples and grandsons. Do you think I am just a decoration?"
Wan Li used all his strength and turned his head to look at Chujiu.
I saw Chujiu with his eyes closed, just like me. Blood was bleeding from his eyes, nose, and ears. He squatted with his legs forward and backward, and pointed at the ground in a weird posture with his fingers on his left hand.
The right hand holding the copper coin sword swung towards Jiaohun from top to bottom.
Wanli suspected that he was dazzled and hallucinating. As Chujiu waved his right hand, the copper coin sword emitted a dazzling light. The light was like a sword more than ten meters long, slashing towards the void.
For a moment, Wan Li saw a black shadow floating in the void. This black shadow was a dragon. The lightsaber swung out by Chujiu was split into pieces.
Chujiu made a sound of "poof" and spat on the ground with blood in it. He said "garbage" and then fell to the ground on his back.
The moment Chujiu fell to the ground, the invisible cliff disappeared. The edge of the cliff we were standing on was actually a flat land in the woods.
On the flat ground, two old men sat cross-legged, both making the same gesture.
For a moment, Wanli felt that the two people seemed to be integrated into the woods, more like trees in the ground than people.
