Chapter 6 Found the medicinal spring, recovered the body
"The national treasure blood lotus? It sounds interesting, N, you go and get it." The woman who adopted Jiang Ning raised her bright lips, gently shook the red wine glass, and after giving the order, she sipped the wine elegantly.
"Is this the No. 1 killer N that makes both the black and white worlds tremble in fear? Nothing more than that." A row of black gun muzzles were pointed at Jiang Ning, and she knew she had no way to escape.
"Hand over the national treasure, and I will leave you a whole body."
How could a proud Jiang Ning die on her knees? She swallowed the so-called treasure blood lotus into her stomach, and then ignited the bomb, turning herself and those people into ashes.
At the last moment of death, Jiang Ning seemed to see large blood-red lotus flowers in front of her eyes, but she didn't care at that time, thinking it was just an illusion before death.
Now Jiang Ning looked at the identical blood lotus flowers in the sky, and finally realized the mystery of her resurrection.
This is not a dream, but a space formed by blood lotus seeds!
Jiang Ning quickly calmed down, walked out of the bamboo house and stepped onto the gravel road, looking around with sharp eyes. Since this national treasure can allow her soul to enter this body, perhaps there are other mysteries.
Jiang Ning walked to the edge, looked at the surging air flow, and slowly pressed her hand on it. As soon as she touched it, she felt a huge resistance, and she couldn't move her palm forward even with all her strength. After trying it in another location, the result was the same.
Jiang Ning had no choice but to give up and turned around to look for other clues.
As soon as she passed the bamboo house, she saw a small spring on the gravel ground. It was a spring eye, and water was slowly bubbling out, forming a small beach with a diameter of about one meter. It was clean, clear, and without a trace of impurities. The stones at the bottom of the water were dust-free. The water surface clearly reflected the red sky, which seemed particularly abrupt and strange in this world, but there was also a kind of indescribable harmony.
Jiang Ning stared at the small spring for a moment, then walked around the bamboo house, and after confirming that this was the only abnormality in the entire space, he returned to the small spring.
"Cough, cough!" Jiang Ning was startled by a sudden cough in her ear. She looked around, but she was the only one here! Suddenly remembering the rooster's crow yesterday, Jiang Ning realized that it was Liu Ming'an who was coughing.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, the next moment, Jiang Ning opened her eyes in the dark and returned to Liu Ming'an's room, becoming a wounded person who could not move freely again.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Jiang Ning turned her head when she heard the sound. With the moonlight coming through the window, she saw Liu Ming'an lying on the table with a coat on. The grown man curled up into a ball because of the cold night.
He's not going to catch a cold, is he? Jiang Ning thought.
This Liu Ming'an is a rare good man. He spent money and effort for her, a stranger, and even gave her the only bed in the house. Jiang Ning herself knew that if she hadn't met him, she might have suffered a lot.
Jiang Ning looked at him for a while, and only retracted her gaze when she saw him gather his clothes, fall asleep peacefully and stop coughing.
Jiang Ning lost all desire to sleep, and lay in the darkness with her eyes closed. Her thoughts unconsciously returned to the blood lotus space. She entered the space passively both times after falling asleep, and then would automatically come out when disturbed by the noise outside. She wondered if she could enter freely as she wished?
The question just emerged in her mind, and the next second Jiang Ning knew the answer. The darkness in front of her eyes dissipated, and she returned to the bamboo bed.
Jiang Ning narrowed her eyes and silently said "get out" in her heart. She lay in Liu Mingan's room, and the darkness enveloped her again.
"Enter the space." The wooden bed under her turned into a bamboo bed.
After trying it several times, Jiang Ning understood that this space appeared or disappeared according to her thoughts.
Back in the space again, Jiang Ning got out of bed and came to the small spring behind the bamboo house. Since this space is so magical, the spring water must be something extraordinary. Jiang
Ning squatted beside the small spring, hesitated for half a minute, then reached out and scooped up a handful of water and drank it. The spring water was sweet and a little cool. As soon as she swallowed it, Jiang Ning noticed a change. She seemed to have a deeper connection with this space. She could sense that this space was inside her body.
Not only that, Jiang Ning found that the boundary between the space and the outside world had faded. She could even see Liu Mingan sleeping on the table through the boundary. In this way, couldn't she use the space to do a lot of things? Spying secretly and hiding things from the world were no problem.
But soon, Jiang Ning couldn't think about these things anymore, because her body, especially the broken bones, began to hurt severely.
How could it be? The body in the space was intact? Why did it hurt?
Jiang Ning gritted her teeth and came out of the space. Liu Ming'an was sleeping beside her. She endured the severe pain and suffered silently in the darkness.
It seemed that all the injured parts of her body had reacted. Her cheeks began to hurt, but it was bearable. The broken bones felt like someone was sawing her flesh with a saw.
Was it because of drinking that spring water? Jiang Ning guessed.
Jiang Ning said nothing, letting the pain wash over her body like a tide, and cold sweat soaked her hair.
After an unknown amount of time, the pain gradually subsided. Jiang Ning had endured this torture-like torment and let out a long breath. She turned her head and looked out the window. The dark sky was setting with a waning moon, and a streak of dawn had already appeared on the horizon.
The pain was worth it, and Jiang Ning's injuries were all healed.
Her hands and feet were tied with splints and bandages. Jiang Ning sat up with her shoulders against the headboard, raised her stiff arms, bit the knot of the bandage with her teeth, and freed her right hand. She reached out and grasped it, and there was no discomfort at all. Even the whiplash on the back of her hand did not leave any marks.
It seemed that it was a medicinal spring with healing effects.
Then he untied his left hand, lifted the quilt, bent down to remove the splints on his legs, and with a light body, Jiang Ning tiptoed away from the bed where he had slept for two days.
Jiang Ning stood by the table and looked at Liu Ming'an quietly. She no longer needed him now. With her skills and the space she had, she was confident that she could live well in this strange era.
Should I leave? Jiang Ning asked herself.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Jiang Ning stood there, staring at Liu Ming'an without blinking, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
"Cough cough cough!"
The man sleeping on the table started coughing again, his body shaking with the cough, and the clothes he had draped over him as a quilt slipped to the ground. Jiang Ning looked at him for a few seconds, then walked up gently and covered him with the clothes again.
Liu Mingan frowned, as if he had not slept well, and his shoulders shrank unconsciously.
Jiang Ning sighed silently, forget it, this scholar spent a lot of money on her without any relationship, at least he should repay the favor.
