Upon hearing this, Dr. Sun turned his face away, not wanting us to see his expression.
I knew the old man was probably crying, but he didn't want us to see it.
I grinned and said, "Dr. Sun, don't worry. You know my skills. I'll make sure your village is safe and sound!"
Luo Tianhe picked up the conversation, his tone unusually serious:
“That’s right, and you’re a local, so they all know you. If we go with you, we’ll be held back, but if you’re not there, we can use whatever means we want.”
Luo Tianhe's words revealed the confidence of the underworld.
His meaning was clear.
If what Dr. Sun fears really happens—that someone wants to sacrifice a few to save the majority—then he won't be polite.
On the contrary, if Dr. Sun were present, and those people tried to persuade us with reason and emotion, and even used kinship and other constraints, we would find it difficult to take action.
Li Huai nodded frantically, "That's right, just trust us this once, we have experience!"
Dr. Sun turned his face, his lips moved, his eyes were red, he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed deeply.
“Okay, okay,” he slowly sat back in his chair, his back seemingly even more hunched.
"Then you must be very careful! Especially my cousin, the village elder, he's gone mad, don't believe him."
However, there might be some truth hidden in his ravings; after all, he's the only one who's been to the forbidden area. You must discern carefully.
He paused, looked out the window at the night sky, and spoke very softly:
"To put it bluntly, bad people come from poor and remote areas. I can't say what those people in the village might do if they get scared. So you must be very careful and prioritize your safety!"
“My nephew’s name is Sun Wang. He lives in the second house at the west end of the village. There’s a crooked tree in front of his house. He wrote the letter, so he should be able to believe it.”
Dr. Sun's words of advice grew heavier with each sentence.
I nodded repeatedly. In backward places, feudal superstition is even more serious.
Who knows what kind of trouble might arise?
"By the way, speaking of Old Dao, his injuries are much better now. Should I wake him up?" Doctor Sun suddenly looked at Luo Tianhe and said.
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe's eyes flashed with excitement, and he quickly nodded.
"Come with me."
Doctor Sun stood up and walked towards the inner room.
I hurriedly followed. I have a certain relationship with you, Lao Dao, otherwise I wouldn't have risked my life for him so many times.
Old Dao was lying on the hospital bed in the inner room.
His face was still pale and his eyes were sunken, but he looked much better than before, when he looked neither human nor ghost.
Dr. Sun shaved his short hair into a stubble, making him look more fierce and more like a member of the underworld.
"I woke him up and have a few words to say to you."
As Dr. Sun spoke, he picked up a silver needle.
I couldn't help but exchange a glance with Luo Tianhe. Although Lao Dao's condition was better than before, it wasn't much better.
After all, we had been banging on the door and talking to him, but he still hadn't woken up.
After waking up, he said a few words and still needed Dr. Sun to use silver needles.
"Don't worry too much. You know his condition at the time. He was already a corpse, barely alive."
I used a special method to keep him mostly in a state of dormancy, like a turtle hibernating, which preserves his vitality as a living person to the greatest extent.
Therefore, only special methods can wake him up.
Dr. Sun explained slowly, and Luo Tianhe and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Luo Tianhe frowned, took a step forward, and asked:
"By the way, Dr. Sun, since that's the case, won't waking him up suddenly disrupt your treatment? If so, we can come see him again after he's better."
Luo Tianhe is indeed a responsible and good older brother.
I suddenly remembered when I first met him, he went to visit an old man in the hospital ward.
At the time, I thought the old man was someone of high rank and power, but later I found out that it was only because the old man's son worked under Luo Tianhe that he cared so much about him.
"Hehe, since I suggested that you talk to him, it means that it won't delay the treatment."
Doctor Sun chuckled, then picked up a silver needle and inserted it into Old Dao's acupoint.
The long silver needle sank all the way in, making me scratch the goosebumps on my arm.
"Hiss~"
Old Dao suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath, and sat up as if on springs.
"Holy crap, boss, Chen Yan, Dr. Sun!"
"It's me, it's me. How have you been lately? Are you feeling much better?" Luo Tianhe smiled broadly, genuinely happy to see that Lao Dao was alright.
"I owe my life to you, boss, and Chen Yan. Doctor Sun has told me everything that happened, but Ant..."
Old Dao smiled at first, then his mood turned somber.
After all, he and the ant were very good friends, having gone through so many life-and-death situations together. Now that he was alive, the ant was dead and without a complete body, which made him feel quite bitter.
"Alas, everyone has their own fate. I will take good care of the ant's relatives."
Luo Tianhe also sighed; Lao Dao's words had stirred up his sorrow as well.
They chatted for a few more minutes, and then Dr. Sun said that Old Dao couldn't stay conscious for too long.
So the needle was pulled out, and Lao Dao, like a toy with its batteries removed, instantly closed his eyes.
"Damn, Dr. Sun, your medical skills are truly amazing. I've never heard of anything like it before."
My face was filled with astonishment.
Li Huai, standing to the side, rubbed his hands together, somewhat excited.
After all, Dr. Sun was his master, and in the end, all these medical skills were to be passed on to him!
He had been very resistant to it before, but now he's starting to look forward to it.
"Dr. Sun, let's go back and prepare ourselves, get some rest, and head to your village tomorrow."
It's already three or four in the morning, and we've been busy all afternoon and half the night.
Honestly, I had no energy left, and it was already a feat that I could manage to keep chatting.
Luo Tianhe is alright, but Li Huai and I were both injured.
"Don't worry, I understand. You're all in poor condition. If it weren't for the emergency, you'd better rest for a couple more days, but..."
Dr. Sun hesitated, then Li Huai jumped up and down twice, patted his chest, and said:
"Don't worry, Master. I'm not as delicate as you think. Chen Yan is from the countryside, unlike city kids. He'll recover quickly. We'll head to your village tomorrow!"
"Alright! I'll leave it to you then, but as I said before, the first priority is to save your own lives."
