After pausing for a while, my energy and blood calmed down a little, I turned around and headed back out of the forest.
Just a few steps out, I suddenly heard a "bang" gunshot!
The sound of the gunshot was not far away. It even shook the leaves in the woods and caused many birds to fly into the air.
I actually don't think there's a problem.
In this day and age, there is no county without soldiers and bandits.
But the speed of my feet was a little faster, and I hurried out of the forest.
When I got on the road, the first thing I saw was that the archway in front of the funeral street was empty and there was no one around.
My first reaction was that Xu Changlin, the paper man, had brought Xu Changlin back to the shop, after all, it had been so long.
I walked across the street and crossed the archway of Funeral Street.
In the peripheral vision, there was a person lying reclining behind the archway. His body was twisted and curled up in a weird way, and he was still trembling and convulsing.
The ground is full of blood! Almost half of his body was soaked! The ground also turned black and scarlet.
The strong smell of blood assaulted my nostrils. I stared at him, and my expression suddenly changed...
Because this person turned out to be a paper man named Xu? !
"Uncle Xu!" I was so shocked that my voice changed its tone!
I quickly moved forward and helped him up, only to find that there was a bloody hole on his left chest...
This is clearly a gunshot wound!
Paperman Xu's breathing was extremely weak and would stop at any time...
"Uncle Xu..." My voice was even more trembling.
Was that where the gunshot sounded just now? Just hit the paper man Xu? !
The paper man Xu was fine a moment ago, and Xu Changlin has also been captured! How could he have been shot? !
I almost gritted my teeth and stared at my eyes. Originally, I wanted to carry the paper figure Xu and run into the city!
His injuries are too serious and he will definitely die if he doesn't get rescued quickly.
With a jolt, I let go of him slightly and ran towards the funeral street. As I ran wildly, I quickly reached the door of the paper shop.
There was a carriage standing in front of the door. I went up directly and hit the horse's butt with a whip. The horse neighed and ran towards the street entrance.
I stopped under the archway, quickly put the paper Xu on it, and drove straight to Jiuhe County!
I'm not familiar with most of the roads in Jiuhe County, but I remember the medical center where He Pheasant and Miao Guangyang were treated last time.
There were no people on the road at night, so I whipped my riding whip wildly. Within a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived outside the hospital.
After getting out of the car, I banged the door hard, and there was a rapid response from inside.
Soon, the door of the medical center was opened, and a sleepy young man came out. He frowned and said that it was closed and he had something to do tomorrow.
I grabbed his collar fiercely and said sternly: "Human life is at stake! Someone has been shot! Wake up your doctors and save him immediately!"
Immediately afterwards, I took out a large amount of money from my pocket and stuffed it directly into the boy's chest!
The boy was very frightened by me at first. After catching the money, he shivered again and seemed to wake up a lot.
"Shot?"
His voice trembled, and he turned to look at the carriage. Without saying a word, he hurried to the door of the carriage and looked inside. His tone was also a bit panicked.
"How can our medical center treat this kind of injury? Hurry and go to a foreign hospital!"
I didn't know where the foreign hospital was, so I asked this young man to get on the carriage and lead me the way.
Fortunately, Jiuhe County itself is not that big. With the guidance of the boy, he arrived at the foreign hospital in less than half a quarter of an hour.
Along the way, my mind was confused, and in my heart I was only anxious and worried about the paper man Xu's injury.
Fortunately, the boy was also helping. After entering the hospital, he shouted to the doctor. A group of men and women in white quickly carried the paper man Xu onto a white cloth stretcher. The group of people quickly carried the paper man Xu away. .
During this period, I originally wanted to follow, but I was pushed away and asked not to disturb their rescue.
After the paper figure Xu was taken away, the surrounding area became quiet.
Now I am standing in an aisle, with a dark yellow light source above my head and gray walls on both sides.
The aisle is only about two meters long, and there are some long wooden chairs.
What I smelled between my nostrils was an unpleasant and pungent smell of medicine, which was different from the bitter smell of traditional Chinese medicine. It was also a bit cold, which made me feel sick.
"First... sir? Why don't you sit down and take a breath? I'll wait here with you."
"Foreign doctors are very good at treating gunshot wounds. Although our hospital can also save people, gunshot wounds really need to be sent to the hospital. I just heard a few words from those doctors, saying that the injury is serious and requires immediate surgery and rescue, and blood transfusions and so on. of."
The boy's words made my ears ring even more.
There are also some vocabulary words that I still feel are unfamiliar.
Operation? rescue? Blood transfusion?
My head shook, my body shook, and I almost fell.
The boy quickly came to hold my shoulders and helped me sit on the chair next to me. He said slightly uneasily: "Sir, I see there is blood all over your body and there are so many injuries on your neck. You Do you want the doctor to take a look as well?"
I ignored the boy and just took off the long wooden box on my shoulder. After opening it, I took out the golden abacus.
The cold gold abacus made my hands tremble in excitement, and the abacus beads on it gave off a cold feeling.
I subconsciously looked up again and glanced at the light source coming from above my head.
It was not my common candle or kerosene lamp, but an oval-shaped object, much smaller than a lantern, with a transparent and stable light source coming from it.
Is this also a new thing for foreigners? It's really strange, much better than kerosene lamps and candles.
After looking at it for a few more times, I felt my eyes sting a little.
Lowering my head again, I stared at the golden abacus on my lap.
My fingers pressed on a few beads, but I froze and couldn't move.
I want to tell the paper man Xu a fortune, but I don’t have his birth date.
As for his appearance, in my panic just now, I didn’t pay attention to it.
Clutching the golden abacus tightly, I had no choice but to put it back into the long wooden box.
Turning to look at the other side of the aisle, the paper figure Xu was pushed over just now...
"I'm fine. I can't die. When can they revive Uncle Xu? I want to see Uncle Xu's face."
Speaking of looking at faces, that is, looking at faces, I am afraid that the paper man Xu will die.
The boy was embarrassed for a while and said: "Sir, the foreign doctor is performing an operation. How can I go in and see him?"
"But... you'd better be mentally prepared. After all, you were shot... in the chest..." The boy had not yet finished speaking.
I raised my head sharply and stared at him.
The next moment, the boy was so frightened that he became silent...
