Chapter 5 Storm and Pond Fish
The cheerful chirping of birds outside the window woke Zhang Tie up. After waking up, Zhang Tie opened his eyes and saw a comfortable beige ceiling covered with a snow-white quilt. Yes, the faint smell of disinfectant immediately made Zhang Tie understand where he was.
This is a hospital!
Zhang Tie wanted to sit up from the bed, but when he tried to get up with his hands, the pain from his left shoulder and lower abdomen suddenly made Zhang Tie grin. Only then did Zhang Tie realize that he seemed to have been hit by two arrows before he collapsed at the school.
Damn it, Zhang Tie cursed inwardly, baring his teeth.
The wound on the lower abdomen doesn't hurt very much, but the wound on the left shoulder seems to be more painful.
Lifting the quilt, Zhang Tie took a look. Damn, the gauze that was removed just now is finally no longer used as a mummy. Why is it wrapped up again at this time, and more and more wrapped? Is this the nickname of the mummy? The aftereffects of coming?
The sun was shining outside the room, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. Zhang Tie got out of bed, walked to the window, opened the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and took a deep breath.
Outside the room is a garden of the hospital, with a nice view. Standing in the room, Zhang Tie took a look and guessed where he was from the outlines of several buildings outside the garden—the Shenghui Hospital in Heiyan City. .
I didn't expect that one day I would be able to be admitted to the best hospital in Heiyan City, which seemed to be the kind of high-end intensive care unit where I lived alone.
Zhang Tie smiled self-deprecatingly, the treatment of becoming an imperial officer is really not for bragging.
Seeing the sunlight outside the window, Zhang Tie, who was only wrapped in gauze and bandages, stretched out a hand, touched the warm sunlight, and closed his eyes in enjoyment.
Until now, feeling the warm temperature of the sun outside the window, Zhang Tie seemed to have escaped from the effect of the terrible poison.
That feeling is very scary, stiff and cold, the blood and muscles of the whole body are instantly frozen by a layer of ice. From your toes to your tongue, you feel that your whole body no longer belongs to you all of a sudden, the material body that made you exist seems to have disappeared at once, turned into fly ash, and can no longer bring you any feeling.
At that time, Zhang Tie thought he was sure to die. The effect is such a violent poison. It is many times higher than the high-grade rat poison in Tang De's grocery store. Under the circumstances at that time, the process from being hit by the arrow to losing consciousness and falling down may not even take five seconds, and the effect of the medicine has already begun to take effect.
that feeling,
Just thinking about it now. It made Zhang Tie feel lingering fear.
...
Zhang Tie hadn't basked in the sun for two minutes by the window. As soon as the door of the room opened, a nurse with a tray pushed open the door and walked in. The nurse seemed to be here to change Zhang Tie's dressing. Zhang Tie had already woken up, and he couldn't help but screamed "Ah..." in surprise.
The nurse just called out. Four soldiers in dark red uniforms rushed in at once.
"Sir, are you awake?" a soldier asked with wide-eyed eyes.
"Did I sleep for a long time? What's the date?" Zhang Tie asked.
"Today is August 11th, you have been in a coma for two days!"
...
Just over ten minutes later, Colonel Leibniz and a group of officers from the Jagged Battalion got the news. They all came to the hospital together and squeezed into Zhang Tie's room.
Seeing that Zhang Tie had woken up intact, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Zhang Tie already knew that the name of the poison in him was Lanshuang. And I also know some things related to me that happened in Heiyan City in the past two days.
Zhang Tie was very moved because the Iron Blood Camp actually mobilized the entire camp because of his arrest, and surrounded the Gregory family's castle, wanting to avenge himself.
A steward and a guard captain of the Gregory family in Heiyan City were arrested. Of the two, one was in charge of the Gregory family's weapon warehouse, and the other was Gris's father's immediate boss. Gris's father stole the crossbow from the Gregory family's weapon storeroom to assassinate Zhang Tie, and the two of them didn't even know about it.
These two people were also thrown out as scapegoats, which can be regarded as calming the anger of the Iron Blood Camp.
caught at the same time. And Thord, because it was Thord who was going to duel with him, so he was assassinated at school. No one knew whether Thord had any conspiracy with Gris and his father, one was open and the other was secretly trying to deal with it Himself, so after his own accident, Thord did not run away, and was thrown into the prison of Black Yan City in a blink of an eye. After some interrogation, Thord "finally recruited", and after hearing that Gris had not returned After that, it was he who took the initiative to contact Gris' father, and the two discussed to get rid of Zhang Tie.
After Thord admitted the conspiracy with Gris and his father, Thord died of serious injuries after the duel and died in prison—all the details about Zhang Tie's assassination came to light.
Thord's confession cleared the Gregory family of "the suspicion of assassinating the chief envoy". Naturally, no one cared about the life and death of a small person at this time, and Zhang Tie just sighed in his heart. This matter, this matter is over, Thord is dead, so there is no need to pursue it anymore.
In this matter, I was not wronged by these two arrows, and the two crossbow arrows shot on me should indeed be. Although there is no evidence to show that Gries killed himself, Gries's father believes so Well, what else can you do. I just blame myself for being too careless, thinking about Gris too simply, thinking that as long as there is no evidence, others can't do anything to me, I never thought before that in this world, sometimes, some people want to do something As long as things are confirmed, no evidence is needed at all.
It is not wrong for Greis's father to fight desperately to exchange his life with him. It is only natural to avenge his son. Even until this time, Zhang Tie found that although he had killed that person, he could not hate that person at all. Come on, that man might be a good father who just raised an asshole son.
The only ones who were wronged in this matter were probably the Thord and Gregory families. They were the two pond fish that were affected by the fire at the city gate. Of these two pond fish, one is a crocodile, and the other may not even be considered a tadpole, but can only be regarded as plankton. The crocodile is in trouble. Everyone pushed the plankton out.
This is the rule of the game in this world, just like what Tang De said, in this world, accidents happen to the rich and disasters happen to the poor, no matter where they are placed.
The whole incident was caused by Gries, and Zhang Tie was also deeply reflecting on his childishness in dealing with Gries, evidence. That's what the weak side needs, to comfort themselves, to seek sympathy and support, but it's actually useless.
What evidence is needed for the Norman Empire to annex Heiyan City? What evidence is needed for a lion to eat a rabbit? What evidence is needed for a man of courage to rejoice? What evidence do the big men need when deciding whether millions of people will die? My long-standing mindset of being a vulnerable group almost killed me in this matter. What would a real strong man do in such a situation? He must have returned to Black Flame City and found an opportunity to find a reason to kill Gris and his father together, and directly eliminate this threat in the bud. Where would such a person have the opportunity to plot against him.
Childish, childish, too childish! After figuring this out, Zhang Tie's heart suddenly opened up a lot, and his mind took a step forward, becoming more mature.
Another advantage of this incident is that some people still had some doubts about Zhang Tie's encounter with lightning. And after this incident, everyone was convinced. After encountering the poison of Lanshuang, everyone watched Zhang Tie lying on the bed without any external help. With the instinct of his body, he actually forcibly resisted the poison of blue frost. It's simply appalling. If it wasn't for the lightning strike that caused mysterious changes in his body, making his acquired lightning strike functional scholar syndrome extremely strange, and opening up the mysterious potential of his body's treasure house, how could he regain his life? Woolen cloth?
The first batch of people who came in to see Zhang Tie started chatting with Zhang Tie, and they all became interested in the lightning that hit Zhang Tie. The time and place when the lightning struck Zhang Tie, the size of the lightning, and Zhang Tie's physical condition at that time. Many people inquired about Zhang Tie's body parts that were struck by lightning, and these random and strange questions. Even Colonel Leibniz showed interest.
Zhang Tie, who had been prepared for this, of course answered watertightly. If anyone wants to verify it, they can definitely find a place next to a certain big tree on the hillside in the place Zhang Tie mentioned. Evidence of being struck by lightning. Unless someone has the ability to go back in time, no one can find the loopholes in Zhang Tie's lies.
...
"You should rest well during this time. The doctor said that it will take a month for your injury to heal, so I will give you a month's leave. You don't have to go back to the barracks during this period. You can go back after your injury is healed!" Lai Colonel Bunitz directly gave Zhang Tie a big vacation. Colonel Leibniz was in a good mood these two days. After the matter was satisfactorily resolved, the sincerity of the Gregory family made him wake up with a smile in the middle of the night thinking about it. Through this incident, Colonel Leibniz found that Zhang Tie was simply his lucky messenger. He took a fancy to Zhang Tie even more. Come roll with good luck.
Colonel Leibniz felt that his decision to recruit Zhang Tie into the army was really wise.
After seeing Zhang Tie wake up, Colonel Leibniz finally let go of the guards. After the officers of the 34th Division left, those who had been restrained from meeting Zhang Tie in the hospital rushed in together. .
Everyone has been taking turns staying in the hospital these two days, waiting for news from Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie saw Wright, Doug, brother, Beverly, and Wood. Everyone's faces were a bit haggard. It seems that they haven't had a good rest in the past two days, especially the old brother. Not from the body, but from the spirit.
When he saw his brother whose eyes were flushed from the heat, the first thing Zhang Tie asked was, "Does Mom and Dad know about me?"
What Zhang Tie is most worried about now is that his parents still don't know what to do in the past two days after knowing what happened to him.
"At the beginning, I didn't dare to tell them at all. I told them that after the duel, you let that person die and then went back to the barracks. Because there were too many people, there was a little riot in your school, and you didn't lose a single hair. Later, I found out You have hope of recovery, and I don't dare to tell them, so they still don't know about it until now, but Dad seems to have heard some uncertain rumors outside, and mentioned you to me with some doubts last night, Mom It seems that I also became suspicious and was fooled by me. If it is convenient for you, it is best to go home and meet at some time. Even if you don’t enter the house, just say hello to your mother outside the door and let her take a look at you! "
Hearing that his elder brother was able to hide the news of his accident from his father and mother for two days, Zhang Tiexuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Not many people witnessed his assassination in school. In a short period of time, the school became a mess, so there were all kinds of rumors, especially when they spread outside the school, and because the Gregory family was involved, these rumors took on various tricks. Under my brother's deliberate concealment, I finally didn't make my parents worry.
...
Anyway, I have a lot of rest time, Zhang Tie is not in a hurry, first chatted with Wright and Wood, comforted everyone, and then asked everyone to go home and have a good rest. The other brothers were fine, and then Zhang Tie's eyes fell on Alice who had been silently looking at him after entering the room.
Everyone else walked out of the ward very tactfully at this time, looking at Alice's red and swollen eyes, Zhang Tie smiled, and gestured a muscle-drumming movement with his right hand, which is still free to move.
Alice's tears flowed down all at once, and Alice walked over, as if she was afraid of hurting Zhang Tie, she hugged Zhang Tie lightly, and fell on Zhang Tie's chest for a full two minutes Crying without saying a word, Zhang Tie was frightened all of a sudden, and quickly wiped away Alice's tears, "I'm sorry, did I scare you that day? I know it's really not good to kill people in front of you. That scene was indeed a bit bloody..."
Seeing that the man was still worried about whether the scene that day had scared her, Alice just shook her head, but tears welled up in her eyes.
"Then why are you crying?" Zhang Tie kissed away the tears on Alice's face distressedly, "You must not have slept well these two days!"
"They all said that you had already reacted at that time. If you had chosen to avoid it at that time, the two crossbow arrows would not have shot at you at all, because we were in front of you, so when you were deciding life and death, you chose to let the Let's live, push us away, and you use your own body as a shield for us to face the incoming crossbow arrows, isn't that right?" Alice held Zhang Tie's face in her hands, crying There is already a deep affection in the beautiful eyes, "Why are you so stupid?"
Zhang Tie smirked, and didn't know what to say. It was just his instinctive reaction at the time, and he didn't think of it so much. Zhang Tie only felt that when he was still standing, there was no way for Alice and the others to face the danger. reason. Especially now, after knowing that those crossbow bolts were covered with blue frost, Zhang Tie only felt lucky that those two crossbow bolts were shot at him...
"To be honest, I just feel happy now. Fortunately, those two crossbow arrows were shot at me! If I let those crossbow arrows fall on you, I don't know how to deal with it now. I can't imagine what happened because If I let you lie here and make you never wake up again, what will I do, I might be driven crazy by this incident..."
At this time, there is actually no need to say more.
Alice's fiery lips then kissed him proactively. Today, Alice wanted to swallow Zhang Tie whole. (To be continued.
