Chapter 313: Coma
A moment later, Zhong Nianyao saw Zhao Xuanlang lying on the bed, as if he was asleep, and her brows furrowed. She raised her hand and began to count on her fingers.
Zhao's father and mother watched Zhong Nianyao's actions with anxiety on their faces, but they did not dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing Zhong Nianyao.
After a long while, Zhong Nianyao finally put down her hand, then looked at Zhao's father and mother and asked directly, "Did he go somewhere near the water these two days?"
Zhao's parents were stunned for a moment, and finally it was Zhao's mother who spoke up. "We're not sure about this, but Xiaolang stayed home the entire summer vacation and didn't go out. Just yesterday, a friend asked him to go hiking, so he went out. He was fine when he came back that night, but today he couldn't be woken up no matter what we did."
Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but frown. "Even before the holiday, I could see that Zhao Xuanlang had a disaster recently, and it was related to water. I had already warned him. Now it seems that he didn't listen to me, so he got into trouble now."
"What? This brat." Father Zhao was immediately furious. "He actually pretended to obey but actually disobeyed me. When he wakes up, I will definitely beat him up."
Originally, Zhao's father and mother were very worried, but now after seeing Zhong Nianyao's arrival, they slowly put their minds at ease. Perhaps it was because of their trust in Zhong Nianyao. As long as Zhong Nianyao was around, they knew that Zhao Xuanlang would be fine.
"He's lost his soul." Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "If we want to find his soul back, we must first find out where he went yesterday."
"I'm going to call and ask right now."
After saying that, Zhao's mother made a phone call. After asking a few questions, she came back and spoke anxiously, "Nian Yao, I just asked the friends who went hiking with Xiao Lang. They went hiking in Xishan, a suburb of Beijing, yesterday. When they passed a pool in the mountains, they saw a child who fell into the water, and Xiao Lang saved the child."
"Apart from this incident, nothing else has happened."
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Nianyao said, "Let's find a friend who went with Zhao Xuanlang yesterday and have him take us to the pond! If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Xuanlang's lost soul should be there."
"I'll arrange it right away."
After saying this, Zhao's father quickly found people, and the group took the still unconscious Zhao Xuanlang to the West Mountain and came to a pond inside the mountain.
The surrounding locust trees are very dense, blocking the sunlight. The pool reflects the sunlight that shines through the shade of the trees, but it makes people feel a chill.
The water was so clear that you could see the bottom at a glance, and the surface was calm. But this calmness made people feel uneasy.
Mother Zhao couldn't help but rub her arms, a little confused, "Why do I always feel a little cold standing here?"
It's only early autumn now, and while it's a little cool, it shouldn't be this cold! It's like early winter already.
"It's really strange."
The person who led the way was a friend of Zhao Xuanlang's, Liu Zihang, who was also a student at Tenglong College. Yesterday, they and several other students had climbed the mountain together. When he heard that Zhao Xuanlang was unconscious, he was very surprised and completely incredulous.
When he came over later, he actually saw Zhong Nian Yao.
Those close to him all knew that Zhao Xuanlang had recognized Zhong Nianyao as his boss. They had mocked Zhao Xuanlang several times, but each time, Zhao Xuanlang retorted.
After all, they had been friends for many years, and they didn't want to really lose Zhao Xuanlang, so they didn't mention the main loss.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Zhao family today, he actually saw Zhong Nianyao. Moreover, what surprised him the most was that Zhao's father and mother treated Zhong Nianyao very well, and even had a hint of respect.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he was asked to take them to the place where Zhao Xuanlang went into the water yesterday.
"Why is it so strange?" Zhong Nianyao turned her head and looked at Liu Zihang, "Is there anything different from yesterday?"
Although he didn't understand why Zhong Nianyao asked this, Liu Zihang scratched his hair and said in confusion, "When we came here yesterday, we felt it was very comfortable here. If we hadn't encountered that child who fell into the water, we might have rested here. But today, the temperature here seems to have dropped suddenly, and-"
This place gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
"How did you meet the child who fell into the water yesterday?" Zhong Nianyao asked directly, "Tell me everything that happened in detail. Don't leave anything out."
The sudden interrogation made Liu Zihang feel uncomfortable because Zhong Nianyao's tone was like a superior speaking to a subordinate.
"Zihang, please tell me in detail!" Zhao's mother also spoke up. "You must tell us everything now, so that we can have a chance to save Xiaolang. Otherwise, Xiaolang will never wake up."
Seeing Zhao's mother's anxious look, although he didn't know what was going on, Liu Zihang didn't dare to hide anything and told her what happened yesterday.
"Before we even got here, we heard cries for help. Xuan Lang was the first to arrive. He saw a child, about six or seven years old, fall into the water, and he jumped in to save them. When we arrived, the child had already been rescued, and both of them were soaking wet."
"That's basically what happened. The kid said he got separated from his family and fell into the water. He thanked Xuan Lang and left. After Xuan Lang changed into clean clothes, we continued climbing the mountain."
This matter was so simple that they just treated it as a minor incident. After that, Zhao Xuanlang was fine and didn't even sneeze.
That's why he was so shocked when he heard today that Zhao Xuanlang was unconscious.
"Nian Yao, is there something wrong?"
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's frown getting tighter and tighter, Zhao's mother was a little anxious, "Or was it that Xuanlang accidentally got possessed by evil spirits when he fell into the water?"
She didn't hear anything wrong, but when she saw Zhong Nianyao's expression, she became worried.
