Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 43

The rushing river was turbid and mighty, and Ma Yi'ao and I rushed downstream. There was a swamp all around us, and the flood flooded both banks. In many places, we could only see the roof of the house, and on that roof , and there are still bits and pieces of people clinging to it, calling for help.

As the saying goes, "the sound of the earth is urgent, and the clouds in Tianjin are sad. The hectares are full of leisurely, and the rivers and rivers of Erer are floating."

At this moment, the sky is bright and the rain is majestic.

My body suffered a penetrating wound. After fighting desperately and soaking in water for a long time, I used to rely on the strength contained in the blood beads to hold on. I took a breath in my chest, but I didn't feel anything. Now that I am out of danger, I let go of that breath. Many times, the eyes of the whole person began to turn black, and the pain and numbness came from the wounds on the abdomen and back, which made my body stiff and my hands and feet began to be inflexible.

Ma Yi'ao noticed something was wrong with me, so he swam over quickly and shouted in my ear: "Hou Zi, Hou Zi, what's wrong with you?"

I smiled wryly, looked around, but couldn't see the side, so I just shook my head and said that I might die.

Ma Yi'ao stretched out his hand and said to me: "What are you talking about? You have survived the desperate situation just now. What are you talking about being discouraged at this time? Come on, don't move, take a rest, and I will support you."

With the support of Ma Yi'ao, we drifted downstream. After an unknown period of time, we came across a submerged earthen house. There was still some space on the roof. Ma Yi'ao pulled me onto the roof with great effort. , the two of them lay on the tiles, and the rain on the top of their heads became lighter. Ma Yi'ao rested for half a minute, then hurriedly got up again, and checked the wound for me.

I lay on the roof tiles, my hands and feet were stiff, my head was heavy, and I said with some fear, "I, am I hopeless?"

Ma Yi'ao laughed, and said that he was also a night walker after all, and his physical fitness was much stronger than ordinary people, so how could he be hopeless?The arrow didn't hurt the vitals, and you have plenty of energy and blood. As long as you take care of it properly, after ten days and a half months, with your physique, you should be able to jump around again, and you'll be fine.

Hearing his affirmative tone, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then handed him the white porcelain bottle I had been holding in my hand all this time, and said, "Look, what is this?"
Ma Yi'ao was a little strange, asking where did this come from?
I said that I met Qin Liluo in the cave just now, and she threw it to me.

Ma Yi'ao took the porcelain vase, and said somewhat uncertainly, "Is it the long leg that stole your things?"

I closed my eyes, and thought of Qin Liluo's bright, pure, glamorous face, as well as her shocking long legs, I shook my head, saying that I'm not sure about stealing things...

Ma Yi'ao is not a serious person, he smiled at me and said, "A hero is sad for a beauty. Speaking of which, that little girl is really charming and seductive."

Afterwards, he opened the cork lid of the porcelain bottle, and a stream of brisk water vapor emerged from it.

I leaned over and asked, "What is this?"

Ma Yi'ao stared at me and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with that little girl named Qin Liluo?"

I was a little surprised, thinking of the beautiful things that happened in the snake cave, my heart was swayed, but I didn't show it, but I pretended to be innocent and said: "What happened?"

Ma Yi'ao said that if nothing happened, she would give you this bottle of weak water?You know, after Baxia Secret Realm is destroyed and the weak water is cut off, there is probably no other place like this in the world. Therefore, this bottle is worth thousands of gold, and it is hard to find in thousands of miles.

He put the cork back on and threw it to me.

I was very surprised, and said in disbelief, "No way, what is in this bottle is weak water?"

Did Ma Yi'ao say I would lie to you?
I held the bottle, thought for a while, and then asked, "How could she have such a weak bottle of water?"

Ma Yi'ao said who knows?Maybe she sneaked in there before and got some secretly, or maybe she got it from somewhere in Baxia Secret Realm.

I hesitated for a moment, and then said, "If that's the case, I guess she really stole the things."

Ma Yi'ao seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not confused-a woman with long legs, just based on your friendship, it is absolutely impossible to show you favors out of thin air. Give you weak water, the most likely point is not to fall in love with you, but to feel guilty for you, as for why, you should be able to guess."

I was a little depressed, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this matter is my fault."

Ma Yi'ao waved his hand and said, don't feel guilty, firstly, it is not certain whether the item is the Houtu Lingzhu or not; secondly, if you snatched the item, if someone else stole it, it is only fate, and there is no need to apologize ;There is one more thing, that is, there are very few people who know about such a confidential matter under the Baxia Secret Realm, why is it like going to the market all of a sudden, people from several parties ran over, have you thought about it why?

Hearing what he said, I was also a little curious, why?
Ma Yi'ao sneered, saying that my master was seriously injured, and that I was looking for the Houtu Lingzhu everywhere. It is supposed to be quite confidential, but I never thought that it would be widely spread. I can't get around that old crooked guy. Speaking of it, I believed in the wrong person, otherwise such a thing would not have happened.

Lao Wai is a quack broker whom Ma Yi'ao recruited to inquire about news. He earns his living by selling news. If the news comes from him, he will really be in trouble.

The two sighed and chatted about their experience in the cave that night. At this moment, Ma Yi'ao stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and shouted: "Here, there is someone here."

I looked in the direction of his beckoning, but it was the People's Liberation Army for flood fighting and rescue coming in a speedboat.

With the help of these lovely people, we left the roof of our temporary residence, and the speedboat rescued several people along the way, and then we were taken to a nearby resettlement camp, which was chaotic and full of people walking around. Ma Yi'ao stopped a government worker and informed him of my situation. When he learned that I was injured, the man immediately took Ma Yi'ao and me to a nearby health center.

In the health center, the doctor who examined me was dumbfounded. When he saw the arrow penetrating from the back to the abdomen, he asked me in a daze, what's wrong with you?
Ma Yi'ao babbled nonsense, the doctor listened ignorantly, looked at the soaked white wound, and looked at me in shock, probably unable to understand that I suffered such an injury and was still soaked in the water for so long For a long time, why didn't he die.

This is just a doctor from a rural health center. He has little experience in surgery and panicked. He said to Ma Yi'ao, "We can't do this injury here. We have to send it to the county."

The government staff who accompanied us said: "The dam burst, and most of the roads leading to the county and the city were destroyed. Where can we go?"

The doctor spread his hands and said that there was nothing he could do. The pole pierced through his whole body, and he didn't know what was going on inside. We don't have equipment here, so we performed the operation rashly. If something happens, he will die here. What can I do?

This is a second-rate doctor, not skilled, and afraid of taking responsibility, so he froze here for a while, which made Ma Yi'ao angry, and said to him: "Let me use your operating room, and I will do it myself."

The doctor was shocked and reluctant, saying how can this be done?You don't have a medical license...

He paused, Ma Yi'ao glared at him, and said coldly, "I'm a graduate of Shuimu University School of Medicine..."

I don't know if it's the name of this school bully that frightened the other party, or if I feel that if I delay this, it may become an accident. The doctor gave up the operating room, but before that, he drafted an agreement, to the effect that This matter has nothing to do with their hospital, it is just our private behavior.

Both Ma Yi'ao and I signed the draft agreement, and then entered the crude operating room. Ma Yi'ao put on rubber gloves, fiddled with a bunch of sharp knives and scissors, and said to me with a smile: Narcotics?"

I licked my lips and said yes?

Ma Yi'ao showed his white teeth, and said, "Do you think there will be such a broken place?"Don't worry, although it's a lie about graduating from medical school, my experience in dealing with trauma is no less than that of a surgeon. If you feel scared, just close your eyes and practice "Jiuxuanlu", it won't make you whole dead.

I feel like a piece of meat on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered, and now, I can only grit my teeth, so I close my eyes and go.

Facts have proved that Ma Yi'ao is not lying. His fingers are extremely flexible. He not only helped me pull out the arrow, but also helped me treat the wound properly. Sprinkled some sore medicine similar to fishbone meal on the wound, after finishing this, he wiped off the sweat from his forehead, patted my shoulder, and said it's ok, go to sleep, wait until tomorrow, everything will be over.

I was already very sleepy at that time. After listening to his words, I stopped talking and closed my eyes.

I stayed in the health center for three days, his golden sore medicine was very miraculous, the wound healed on the second day, and I was able to get out of bed and walk around on the third day, which surprised the doctor with the second knife Unbelievable, when I checked my body, I had a look of disbelief, probably a little suspicious of life.

On the fourth day, we were discharged from the hospital. Although my wound was still painful, there was no problem in walking normally.

The reason why I was in such a hurry to leave the hospital was that I wanted to find Feihua and Martin. During the few days I was hospitalized, Ma Yi'ao went to the camp and the forest several times, but he couldn't find anyone. A group of militia platoon leaders who met on a rainy night.

In order to avoid trouble, Ma Yi'ao did not recognize them.

We stayed in the camp for another two days, but did not hear from Feihua and Martin, nor did we hear from the others.

Another day, after we had breakfast in the canteen of the camp, we heard people talking about it not far away. I went over to inquire, and only then did I know that in a village downstream, when the flood receded, a huge python was found. I heard that the length is rare to see in a hundred years. Hearing this news, many people went to watch the excitement.

Orochi?

Ma Yi'ao and I looked at each other, and we both decided to take a look at what was going on.
