Chapter 5 The Flower of Tilan (Thanks to the leader of Disillution)
Beep-beep-beep-
When Heshia opened her eyes again, she saw a white ceiling in front of her and heard the slight beeping of the machine in her ears. She just wanted to move her body, but a pain came from her whole body, which immediately stopped her from thinking about it. Then the voice of the electronic AI came from the side.
[The patient has woken up, contact the station]
Is this a hospital? The girl smelled a familiar smell of disinfectant. She looked around and found a recliner next to the bed. A strong young man was sleeping there. He was covered with a quilt, and his thick arms were exposed.
She recognized this young man. His name should be He Cheng. He was from the same community, so he was considered a neighbor.
Soon, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a nurse in a light blue uniform came in. She was also pushing a cart with various instruments on it.
"You are awake." The nurse said, and then skillfully checked the various indicators displayed on the instruments next to the girl's bed.
"You are lucky. When I saw you being sent in covered in blood, I thought you couldn't hold on."
"But fortunately, there is no fatal injury. The doctor also said that you are lucky and avoided the critical place." The nurse comforted Heshia's emotions, then carefully helped her sit up and asked if she was still uncomfortable.
"Do you feel uncomfortable..." Heshia looked at her arms on both sides and felt the position of her neck.
There seemed to be no wound on her neck, but her right arm was bandaged and fixed, and could not move. As for the left arm, although it was very sore, it could still move.
After listening to the girl's description, the nurse nodded.
"It's similar to what the doctor said. This is a good thing. I'm afraid that you have suffered a concussion injury to your head or caused mental disorder due to severe stimulation."
"Very brave, I heard that not only did you not abandon others, but you also fought to the death to kill the out-of-control person." As she said, she gently hugged Heshia with her arms, and her hand slowly stroked Heshia's hair.
"Hmm..."
The girl didn't know what to say, but a faint warmth lingered in her heart.
It seemed like she hadn't been hugged like this for a long time.
After a while, the nurse let go of Heshia and smiled again.
"Although little Tilan is fine, we still have to do some tests. Come on, stretch out your finger, I want to draw some blood."
Oh, the nurse is not an angel. The girl raised her left hand slowly with some fear of pain, and then turned her head to the side, not wanting to see the scene of being pricked by a needle.
"Okay, the blood draw is over, and there are a few more small tests later. Little Tilan just needs to operate her extraordinary core."
"Hmm." The girl obediently followed the instructions to operate the extraordinary core, and then output a little magic power.
"Everything is normal, it seems that there is nothing wrong." Then the nurse put away the instrument.
"I'm going to submit the report. You probably have to stay in the hospital for observation for the next two days. In the meantime, you can drink some water and eat something." After she finished speaking, she looked at the young man who was still sleeping next to her and slapped him awake.
"Wake up, if you continue to sleep like this, Grandma He will come and teach you a lesson." Compared to the gentleness she showed to Heshia, the nurse was much more rude at this time.
"Who, who wants to teach me a lesson, who dares to teach me, I am..."
He woke up with a start, rubbing his head while looking around. When he saw Heshia next to him, his eyes showed a burst of surprise.
"Ah, Tilan, you are awake. I am Brother He who lives near your home. Do you remember that I usually transport the purchases in the community..."
"Remember."
The girl nodded, which made the other party more excited. She began to talk about it incessantly. It was roughly the process of Heshia fainting that day, several children ran out of the tunnel, called adults, and then the neighbors sent her to the hospital. Because this incident was particularly sudden and serious, it can be said that everyone in the surrounding communities knew about it, and the public security agency of Arpeggio City also came to do a post-investigation and repair.
"In my opinion, those guys are just talking. I guess in the end they will just add a few more surveillance points and repair the street lights." He Cheng shook his head, indicating that he had experienced a lot.
Heshia knew that He Cheng specialized in community procurement and transportation. He was well-informed about the surrounding information and was familiar with the working style of local institutions.
"What about the children later? Are they okay?"
"It's okay. They just had some scratches at most. It's nothing serious. But you've made me worried." He Cheng shook his head and looked at Heshia solemnly.
"Do you know how scary the scene was when I rushed over? There was blood everywhere, and there were claw marks on the walls and the ground. You were lying there like a torn rag doll, with some bones exposed. You were beautiful and pitiful. Why didn't I notice such a beautiful girl in the community before? Maybe you were too young before..." As he spoke, the topic of his mouth shifted to another side.
"Hehe... Can brother He Cheng stop talking about this?" Heshia still felt extremely scared when she recalled the experience before she fainted. She didn't want to hear it again.
"Okay, I won't say it anymore. You rest first. By the way, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
"Just a normal lunch will do."
"What do you mean by normal? Eat the best. You must have delicious food after surviving a disaster. You have walked through the gates of hell. You don't have to save this money. Your brother He will pay for it for you!" He patted his chest.
"Okay, let's have a T5 set meal from 'Xiangzhufang', which has a lighter taste." Xiangzhufang is a civilian catering brand, and a T5 set meal under its brand costs about 80-120 federal coins.
"Okay, I'll go buy it for you. There's one nearby. Drink some water first." Then he walked out.
While waiting, Heshia drank some water, and then leaned against the head of the bed to slowly think about how she survived.
At that time, she used the Pure Spirit Formula to convert magic power and killed the enemy. Her consciousness was already very blurred. Because of the blood loss, she couldn't see anything in front of her eyes, and she began to have some auditory hallucinations in her ears, as if someone was singing, and as if someone was talking in her ear.
The wound on her neck caused the warmth in her body to quickly drain away, and the blood choking into her trachea made it difficult for her to breathe, and she even had no strength to cough.
In the end, she could only rely on the weak remaining unconsciousness to repair her body, just like she did during the enrollment review during the day.
Although there was no auxiliary stitching to align the wound, her body seemed to be more fluent and skilled in manipulating it, and there was no resistance. Perhaps it was in that unconscious state that she sewed up this rag doll herself.
Heshia carefully touched her neck with her fingers, and a delicate touch came. She closed her eyes again and used her extraordinary ability to check her body. Except for a little shadow in the lungs, the other internal organs were still intact. As for the right arm, it would probably take some time to heal, but she could speed up the healing herself...
Forget it, I'd better heal myself after being discharged from the hospital, otherwise it would be too surprising and unexpected. Heshia shook her head. Life taught her a lot. If it's not necessary, don't expose your specialness. This is also a way to protect yourself.
However, when Heshia was checking herself, she suddenly found something different. The color of her hair seemed to have changed.
Groping, she rolled up the hair at the back of her head in front of her body, and the previous gray hair turned into smooth black hair.
Alas, what is this?
The girl looked for a mirror in a panic, and finally saw her face in the washroom of the ward.
The long black and smooth hair fell in front of her body, making the girl lose her former immaturity and become somewhat gentle and moving. The once black eyes have now turned into a light blue color, like the only orchid blooming in the dark world, with a dreamy charm in the quietness.
Even though her facial features have not changed much, her temperament seems to be a completely different person, with a kind of unforgettable charm, the kind of person you can't forget after just one look.
"Do you know, Heshia, in the ancient elves' records, there is such a flower, its grass leaves are not much different from weeds, and it is difficult to distinguish them at ordinary times. When other flowers are in full bloom, it stands in the corner in obscurity, and no one cares. When it comes to autumn and winter, other plants wither and turn yellow, but it still remains green. It was not until several years later that it finally bloomed its only blue flower with difficulty, and the blue petals were so dazzling and beautiful in the cold wind and snow."
In the memory, a woman who looked similar to Heshia was lying on the hospital bed, pulling her, who was still young, and telling this story.
"I know, Heshia is a little timid and shy, and always afraid to talk to others, but it doesn't matter, even if your mother is gone one day, you can grow up strong and welcome your own season."
"Don't give up, Heshia, live strong."
Not long after, her mother passed away. Standing in front of her tombstone to mourn, this was the last conversation Heshia could recall.
Heshia Tilan, 'Tilan' is the name of that kind of flower in the Elvish language.
