Chapter 4: Rescue the Man in Black at Night

Chapter 4: Rescue the Man in Black at Night

"Mom, who is it?" Sister Qin Zhen heard the knock on the door and came out.

Shen whispered to them that the person outside should just knock on the door and not speak.

Qin Zhen frowned after hearing this, "Mom, the villagers all knew yesterday that something happened to Xiaozhi, so they probably wouldn't dare to come over at this time." In ancient times, people were still very conservative, and death was considered unlucky, especially a young person's death. And now we're at the foot of a mountain, in the middle of nowhere, so the villagers probably don't have the courage to come over at night.

"Who is it?" Qin Zhen bravely asked again. There was still no echo from outside, but soon there was a thud, like the sound of someone falling to the ground.

"Mom, I'm going out to take a look. You guys just stay at home," Qin Zhi said and was about to open the door.

Shen panicked and grabbed Qin Zhi. "No, it's dangerous for you to go out like this. You don't know whether there are people or ghosts outside. If you keep silent, it will be bad if the wild animals in the mountains come down."

"Mom, it's okay, I'll go take a look." After saying that, Qin Zhi picked up a wooden stick, opened the door and went out.

The yard was pitch black. Qin Zhi opened the gate and looked around for a long time but didn't see anyone. The path leading to the village in the distance was also silent. There was no movement on the mountain behind the house. It was a hot day and there was not a single breeze.

Qin Zhi turned around and prepared to close the door, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a man lying next to the gate. Qin Zhi squatted down to check. The man was about twenty years old, wearing a black brocade robe, and he didn't look like an ordinary person. He exuded a strong smell of blood and was seriously injured. With the sensitivity of his identity as a special forces soldier in his previous life, Qin Zhi carefully scouted around and made sure that there was no one else around, and quickly carried the man in black back home. Although Qin Zhi was only ten years old, he had been doing hard labor in the Qin family for many years, and as a special forces soldier, he knew how to use his strength, so it was easy for him to carry the man in black.

Qin Zhi carried him into the house, and Shen was startled.

"Xiaozhi, what's going on? Why did you carry a man back?" Shen asked hurriedly.

Qin Zhi put him on the wooden bed in his room. The bed was now covered with only straw. It was because they were kicked out of the house with nothing.

"Mom, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Save the life first."

Qin Zhi pulled open the black-clad man's clothes. When Shen saw Qin Zhi lifting the man's clothes, she got anxious and quickly stopped Qin Zhi.

"Xiao Zhi, even though you are only ten years old, you are still a girl. How can you just lift someone's clothes casually?"

"Mom, human life is at stake. There are no outsiders in this wilderness. We just need to have a clear conscience." Qin Zhi said as he checked the injuries of the man in black. The wound on the man's chest was very deep and black blood was flowing out. It seemed that he was injured by a poisoned weapon.

Qin Zhi told Qin Zhen and Shen to go out and prepare hot water, and closed the door to help the man treat his wound. Gauze, scissors, disinfectant and the like were all available in the small villa. In her previous life, Qin Zhi was not only a special forces soldier, but also the ninth-generation descendant of the Qin family, a family of traditional Chinese medicine. She learned traditional Chinese medicine from her grandfather since she was a child, and she had practiced it since she was a child. Her grandfather often praised her for her talent and her ability to surpass her master. Later, she went to college to study Western medicine. When the opportunity came, she became a special forces soldier, and a leader among the special forces soldiers, and also a combat-ready doctor.

Qin Zhi took out her own special silver needle, which was passed down to her by her grandfather. It was said to be left by her ancestor. Qin Zhi used the silver needle to detoxify the man and disinfected his wound. Because the wound was too deep, she sutured it with thread. Finally, she fed him a detoxification pill and breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally stable.

At this time, Shen also brought a basin of hot water. Qin Zhi asked Shen to go back to her room to rest first. Shen wanted to say something but stopped herself. In the end, she went out without saying anything. Before leaving, she pulled away Qin Zhen who was about to come in.

Qin Zhi used hot water to wipe the blood off the man's body, and then washed and hung up the shirt he had just taken off from him. The blood was also poured out by Qin Zhi. After doing all this, Qin Zhi sat by the man's bed and watched over him.

Tonight may not be a peaceful night. He has been seriously injured and his fever may worsen at any time. Someone must stay by his side.

Not long after, it started to rain heavily again, and it was getting heavier and heavier, with thunder and lightning. Qin Zhi turned off the kerosene lamp and kept guarding in the dark. Qin Zhi began to worry. This man was not an ordinary person. He was being chased in the middle of the night. Fortunately, God was on his side and it rained heavily, washing away the blood along the way. Otherwise, the man's pursuers would catch up, and then the lives of his family of three would not be saved.

At midnight, the heavy rain outside was still endless. Qin Zhi touched the man's forehead and found that he had started to have a fever. Qin Zhi used a wet towel to apply to the man's forehead in the dark and also helped him wipe his body to cool down. After doing this several times, his body temperature finally dropped after more than half an hour. However, Qin Zhi did not take it lightly. In this case, the probability of repeated fever was very high, so Qin Zhi still kept an eye on him at all times.

Finally, I made it to the fifth watch. The rain outside still did not stop, and seemed to be getting heavier.

Qin Zhi fell asleep on the bed, and the man in black on the bed had opened his eyes and stared at the girl in front of him silently. The man had a blank expression, deep eyes, and a chilling sense of oppression emanating from his whole body.

A quarter of an hour later, under the eaves outside the thatched hut, two men in straw raincoats apologized to the man in black for being late in saving the emperor. The man had already put on the clothes that Qin Zhi had washed last night, even though the clothes were not yet dry.

"Zhan Liu, what's the situation outside?" the man in black asked one of them.

The guard named Zhan Liu told the man that all the assassins had been dealt with, but they were all dead men and had nothing on them to prove their identity.

The man didn't say anything after hearing this, but his expression became even gloomier.

"Master, your wound needs to be treated as soon as possible. Let's find a place first and let my subordinates check you carefully." The person who spoke was Mr. Sun. He was a skilled doctor and had followed the man in black for many years and was loyal to his master.

The man in black and the other two found a cave at the foot of the mountain, lit a fire, and after making a bonfire, the cave became bright.

Mr. Sun checked the wound of the man in black and felt his pulse. Mr. Sun's face became more and more serious, and his eyebrows almost knitted together.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Liu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Mr. Sun's expression, and he asked anxiously.

Mr. Sun hesitated for a moment before explaining to the man in black, "Master, you were poisoned last night. When I took your pulse in the chaos, it was disordered and the situation was critical. Even if I had been by your side at the time, I would not have been confident of saving you. But in just one night, apart from being a little weak, there was no sign of poisoning. The wound was also treated well. I didn't expect that the wound could be sewn up like clothes. It's really amazing." Mr. Sun was very curious about the person who helped him. How good must his medical skills be? Mr. Sun wanted to go to that person and ask for advice immediately.

The man in black didn't respond to Mr. Sun's words, his eyes sank. He thought of the process of being rescued yesterday. Humph, very good, it would be better if the girl was not sent by the opponent to approach, otherwise he would not be able to bear his anger.

"Don't take it lightly. We don't know whether this person is a friend or an enemy. Let's retreat." Soon, the cave returned to peace and everything here was flattened.
