C60 (1/2)
After listening to him, I was like a deflated ball.
Before I could react, a person barged in from outside. Panting, he said to Lin Zhishu, ”Bao …” Bao Wenjun couldn't take it anymore, he had to prepare for the future.
Lin Zhishu calmly said before going over after he finished listening. It seemed like he had long seen the white matter of life and death.
Although Bao Wenjun being that sick already made me mentally prepared beforehand, after hearing the news, my heart still shook.
Lin Zhishu asked me if I should go and have a look.
I said, now that you've saved me, can they let me go?
Lin Zhishu said, don't worry, I have already explained this to the village head. Since I can save you from the river, they will not throw you in, otherwise, how can I save you?
I asked him, 'What did you tell them to let me off so easily?'
The Lin Zhishu said that it was too late now, we should go to Bao Wenjun's house first. We can talk about this later and see if you can stand up.
I tried using my strength. Other than my shoulders feeling a little sore, everything else was fine. Thus, I got up and walked with him towards Bao Wenjun's house.
We walked all the way to Bao Wenjun's house. The moment I entered the courtyard, I was so scared that I shrank back.
Because in his yard, there were dead dogs everywhere …
The most terrifying thing was that these dead dogs all opened their eyes wide. Their eyes were slanted to the side, revealing the whites of their eyes. Furthermore, they all opened their mouths wide.
Just imagine, what a terrifying scene this was.
Lin Zhishu said that it was nothing, these dogs died last night, I don't know what happened, but they all gathered at his house, let's not worry about this for now.
The courtyard was surrounded by a lot of people. It was a custom of my Great Heaven Dynasty to watch the liveliness, and it was common in almost every village.
Stepping over the corpses of the dead dogs, pushing through the crowd, he realized that Bao Wenjun was lying on the side of the yard, barefooted. The white cloth that was wrapped around him previously was already spread out, revealing his body inside.
It was no exaggeration to say that I almost vomited when I saw his body. Although I was prepared, it was still more disgusting than he described.
From the neck down, almost no part of his body was intact. There were scabs everywhere, and he was so skinny that people could only look at him with disgust and pity.
After some information, he found out that this morning, Bao Wenjun suddenly struggled to get up and walked out, and no one could stop him. He said that he was dying, and did not want to die in his house, for fear of attracting more dirty things, but the moment he stepped out of the hall, he fell on the ground, but he persisted in not allowing anyone to support him.
Bao Wenjun's eyes opened slightly, and his eyeballs could no longer move. His pupils had already started to expand, and I knew in my heart that he was hopeless.
Bao Wenjun's mother was sitting on the ground wiping away his tears. His father was pacing back and forth, adding to the numerous onlookers, the courtyard was in chaos.
After a while, Bao Wenjun expressionlessly whispered something and called Zhang Yang over!
When I heard him call me, I went and squatted down in front of him and told him I was here.
Bao Wenjun's brain could not move at all, because the connection between his neck and body was already sealed by a thick layer of scab, even if he had the strength to turn his head, he was afraid that if he were to open his wound, his head and body would most likely be pierced through!
His eyes were blank, and he said, in a faint voice: Stay away from the Indians.
Keep away from the Indians! Who exactly was the Indian he was referring to? And what did that mean?
I wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was still conscious to ask, but when I asked again, Bao Wenjun was no longer speaking. I had no way to urge him, so I could only wait for him to wake up.
Just then, Da Jian ran in from the outside, panting. He held a medical case in his hands, and when he arrived in front of Bao Wenjun, he immediately started to busy himself, acting as an emergency treatment tool. Da Jian knew a little about medicine, so he temporarily took care of Bao Wenjun who was lying on the ground.
