"Water's here! Water's here!"
Zhang Tiedan quickly ran to the bedside with a basin of water in his hand.
As they ran, water was splashed everywhere.
This really angered the middle-aged woman.
She took the basin of water and kicked the boy in the butt.
"Holy crap!"
Zhang Tiedan exclaimed in surprise and fell face-first into the dirt.
His head slammed against the table leg with a thud.
Even so, he still did not cry.
Instead, he touched his nose, rubbed his head, stood up, and walked to the bedside.
They looked at Zhang Xuanchen, who was extremely weak, with curiosity.
He glanced at his mother, who was lifting Zhang Xuanchen up and feeding him water.
Turning to the girl beside him, he asked, "Sister, is he a human or a ghost? Didn't that old doctor say he was doomed?"
How did you manage to survive?
Snapped!
Zhang Qingqing slapped Zhang Tiedan on the forehead.
"How many times have I told you? She's been breathing the whole time. If you keep cursing her to die, I'm going to beat you up."
"Sis, why did you hit me? I'm telling the truth."
Oh, I see. You want him to be your husband, like your parents.
I've seen you staring at his face blankly these past few days!
After saying that, Zhang Tiedan crossed his arms and showed a smug smile, looking like he was very clever.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingqing's sallow skin instantly turned red.
She admitted that Zhang Xuanchen was very handsome, the most handsome man she had ever seen.
But she definitely didn't like him, definitely not.
"Tiedan, you...you're talking nonsense."
"Oh, sis, you're blushing, you're blushing! I knew it, I knew it!"
Hahaha."
Just as the two were playfully fighting.
Zhang Xuanchen groggily opened his eyes and looked around at the dilapidated and simple decorations, and the two siblings who were making a ruckus.
She asked weakly, "Where...where am I?"
After saying that, he struggled to stand up.
As soon as I made a move, a sharp pain shot through my body.
hiss!
Zhang Xuanchen took a deep breath and gave up struggling.
At this point, apart from some deeper wounds, all the areas cut by the leaves had fully healed.
But the ruptured meridians and displaced internal organs constantly reminded him not to make any big movements.
"This is Xiaozhai Village."
Two weeks ago, you were covered in blood and unconscious on the beach.
Qingqing and Tiedan carried you back.
At the time, we consulted the most famous doctor in our village. He said that you had lost too much blood and that all your internal organs were out of place. He said that even a miracle couldn't save you and didn't even prescribe any medicine. He told us to find a place to bury you.
But I saw you were still breathing, so I didn't do anything. I planned to bury you after you stopped breathing.
Who knew you would survive?
Some people in the village even say you're a legendary immortal.
Although the middle-aged woman spoke bluntly, Zhang Xuanchen did not get angry at all.
He knew that without this family, he might not be alive today.
At night, there are quite a few active wild animals.
He immediately thanked her, saying, "Thank you for saving my life. I will repay you once I recover."
The middle-aged woman smiled and shook her head, saying:
"We saved you not because we wanted anything from you, just like rain from the sky doesn't selectively irrigate the best fields."
In the past, when someone helped us in times of crisis, we couldn't just stand by and watch a life die before our eyes without doing anything.
Moreover, your survival is your own achievement, and it has little to do with us.
I'll stay here and recover from my injury. I'll leave once I'm fully healed.
I'll go cook for you.
After speaking, the middle-aged woman carefully laid Zhang Xuanchen flat on the bed, then took the iron basin and walked towards the kitchen.
After her mother left, Zhang Qingqing, her cheeks slightly flushed, glanced at the boy and whispered:
"Your...the little pouch at your waist and that mask are on the bedside table over there. We didn't touch them."
After saying that, she quickly went out to help in the kitchen.
All that was left was Zhang Tiedan, filthy and sniffling, staring at Zhang Xuanchen in the room.
"Hey kid, could you bring me that little cloth bag? I'll buy you some candied hawthorns once I'm healed, okay?"
Upon hearing that there were candied hawthorns to eat, Zhang Tiedan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his mouth was practically watering.
But he immediately composed himself.
He said seriously, "I'm not called a child, I'm called Zhang Tiedan!"
Also, don't even think about bribing me. To save you, my mom and sister gave you their big bed and spent all their money.
You have to return this, otherwise...I...I won't give you the small cloth bag.
The little boy thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any threatening words.
Ultimately, they could only use the small bag as a threat.
Zhang Xuanchen was taken aback when he heard Zhang Tiedan's words.
He didn't say much, but his words contained a lot.
Looking at the dilapidated and simple environment around him.
And the patched clothes he was wearing.
Those who knew Tie Dan weren't lying.
My heart is filled with countless emotions.
What a kind-hearted family!
He immediately agreed, "Okay, I remember. Once I recover, I'll definitely pay you back, and how about I build you a big house?"
"I don't want it, I only want my own family's money."
My sister once said, "Even if you're poor, you should still have dignity and backbone."
Zhang Tiedan shook his head and refused without any hesitation.
Then they brought over a stool and took the small cloth bag and mask from the counter to Zhang Xuanchen's side.
"Good, that's ambitious. I believe you'll definitely achieve great things in the future."
Hearing Zhang Xuanchen's praise.
Zhang Tiedan put his hands on his hips, sniffed, and said, "Hehe, that's right, that's right, I'm the pillar of the family."
Then, looking at Zhang Xuanchen with curiosity, he asked:
"Are you an immortal?"
Do you think I'm an immortal?
"I don't think you are one of them. Immortals are capable of going to heaven and earth and are omnipotent. How could they be as miserable as you?"
Zhang Qingqing, who had just come in to get the kettle, overheard these words.
She stormed into the room and grabbed the boy's ear.
He spun him around 360 degrees, making Tie Dan scream in pain.
He apologized to Zhang Xuanchen, then dragged his younger brother out of the room.
Zhang Xuanchen watched this scene and a smile appeared on his face.
It's as if I'm seeing myself as a child in my previous life.
"There is a subtle warmth hidden in the mundane world, and an unspeakable chill shrouded the celestial path amidst the clouds. There is no place in this world that is entirely smooth sailing."
After making a remark.
Zhang Xuanchen then looked at the storage bag beside him.
Take a deep breath.
His eyebrows were furrowed.
Despite the excruciating pain, he quickly took out a second-grade high-quality healing pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
He then began to use his internal energy to heal his injuries.
Fortunately, his dantian was not damaged; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to circulate his cultivation technique or even release a single trace of spiritual energy.
They are no different from ordinary people.
There are pills that can restore the dantian! But Zhang Xuanchen has only seen them in ancient books!
I've never seen it in real life.
Even if they saw it, the Zhang family couldn't afford it.
However, meridians are much easier to treat.
A single second-grade superior Qingling Qi-regenerating Pill can fully restore one's health.
Unfortunately, Zhang Xuanchen does not currently possess such a pill.
You can only recover from injuries outside the meridians first, and then go to the market or the Immortal City to buy them.
But it's too early to think about these things now, since even making a single move is difficult.
We can only make plans after we regain our mobility.
