Chapter 17 Helping in times of need
WTF?
Chen Jie was practicing the Yangchun Jue when he heard a scream. He opened his eyes and saw a person rolling down the hillside through the grass.
"Doctor Bai?!"
Chen Jie immediately thought of this person.
Soon after, we saw Doctor Bai rolling down to the bottom of a ditch. Maybe because he was too old, he fainted.
Seeing this, Chen Jie stood up, but sat back down.
Wait, if I go over to help him now, it would be like I’m waiting here for him to fall. If I want to do someone a favor, I have to save him from danger.
People often only remember the kindness of helping others in times of need.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie closed his eyes and continued to practice.
About half an hour later, Doctor Bai woke up from his faint. He felt as if his whole body was falling apart and in great pain. He moved his arms and found that they were fine. But when he wanted to stand up, he found that he could not move his feet.
I touched it and it was obviously swollen, and the ankle was a little crooked, which means the bones were dislocated.
Doctor Bai touched it and suddenly applied force. With a click, the ankle was straightened. He gasped in pain.
But when I wanted to stand up, I couldn't move at all.
Looking at the Wild Wolf Valley, Doctor Bai felt a little scared. Few people passed by the Wild Wolf Valley, and it was said that there were wild wolves. His legs and feet could not move now, so what should he do if he encountered a wolf?
And even if I don’t encounter wolves, the temperature in the mountains is very different from the temperature outside the mountains. It would be terrible if I were to freeze here all night!
I, I am so unlucky!
Doctor Bai wanted to get up and save himself, and he finally stood up with the help of a tree. However, he fell down again after taking two steps. The pain was so severe that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"anyone there?"
Thinking that Doctor Bai had shouted, he ended up scaring away all the birds in the forest.
Only his voice echoed in the empty forest.
Suddenly, this place seemed particularly lonely, and slowly fear emerged in Bai Langzhong's heart.
"Is anyone there~?"
Doctor Bai called out twice more, but no one responded. Instead, a wolf howled from the woods in the distance: "Ah~"
This really scared Doctor Bai.
Chen Jie was woken up like this. After practicing the Yangchun Jue for a cycle, Chen Jie felt that the sleep loss from lack of sleep was made up. His groggy head became clearer and his tired body felt fuller.
Although this Yangchun Technique has no method for fighting, it is still very useful for restoring energy.
Chen Jie stood up and saw that Doctor Bai had woken up and was obviously panicking. Feeling that the time was almost right, he carried his small bamboo basket on his back and walked around the ridge.
Make sure you appear in Bai Langzhong's field of vision.
Sure enough, his appearance caught the attention of Doctor Bai.
When Doctor Bai was feeling extremely exhausted, he suddenly saw a young man collecting herbs passing by on the ridge and was overjoyed.
Seeing that there was hope for survival, he shouted, "Kid, kid, whose kid are you? Come and save me!"
"Hey……"
Doctor Bai shouted, and then he saw that the young man seemed not to have heard him. He turned around and walked down the hill, disappearing without a trace.
Doctor Bai was very anxious: "Hey, here, here..."
As Bai Langzhong called out, Chen Jie disappeared.
Doctor Bai felt as if struck by lightning. It was as if he was in the vast ocean and was about to drown. Suddenly, a wooden board floated in front of him and he was about to grab it. But at this moment, a sudden gust of wind and waves blew the board away.
It's really devastating to see the hope of life slipping away right before your eyes.
Doctor Bai sat on the ground dejectedly. It was over. He was dead. Maybe this was his fate!
Bai Lang felt hopeless, but at this moment the young man suddenly appeared on the hill where no one had been seen before. He looked around as if he was looking for something.
Doctor Bai rekindled his hope of survival. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he waved his arms and shouted, "Here, here..." The young man seemed to have finally determined the direction. He looked towards Doctor Bai and saw Doctor Bai rushing towards him.
Soon we reached the bottom of the ditch.
Their eyes met, and Chen Jie spoke first: "Doctor Bai?"
Doctor Bai looked at the young man in front of him and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a moment.
The young man asked, "What's wrong with you, doctor?"
Doctor Bai smiled bitterly and said, "I was picking herbs just now, and I was not careful and rolled down, and sprained my ankle."
"Ah, let me help you check whether it is serious or not."
Doctor Bai smiled and said, "It's okay, but my feet can't move, so I can't walk."
The young man said, "Ah, this is a desolate mountain, and there are wild wolves around here at night. It's very dangerous..."
When Doctor Bai heard that there were wild wolves roaming around at night, he shuddered noticeably, but Chen Jie's next words reassured him.
"How about this, Doctor Bai, I'll carry you down the mountain."
"Ah, this, this is not good."
Doctor Bai was polite, and Chen Jie smiled and said, "It's already this time, so don't be polite."
Chen Jie squatted down and said, "Come on, Doctor Bai, come up."
"This... is a relief for you, young man."
"Hey, what are you talking about? We are all from the same village. How can we just stand by and watch someone die?"
As Chen Jie spoke, he continued to walk forward with Doctor Bai on his back. Doctor Bai was thin, but not heavy, so it was not too difficult for Chen Jie to carry him.
"You just said that we are from the same village. Are you also from Xiantao Village?"
Chen Jie said: "Yes."
"No wonder you look familiar to me. Whose family are you from?"
Doctor Bai was chatting with Chen Jie.
"Oh, my grandpa is Chen Yongwang."
"who!?"
Doctor Bai was stunned and his voice changed. Chen Jie said, "Doctor Bai, don't get excited. I know you have some conflicts with my grandfather, but those are matters between you elders. It's not appropriate for us young people to interfere."
"Besides, it's useless to say these things in this deep forest. Let's talk about other things after we get back to the village and it's safe."
Doctor Bai was silent for a long time, then he sighed and said, "Alas, it's all old news, let's not talk about it. Actually, your grandfather was quite capable, and I was convinced that I lost to him back then."
Chen Jiexuan's timing was very good. Bai Langzhong had just experienced many ups and downs and a life-and-death crisis, so some of the old grudges were not so difficult to accept.
The two of them walked down the mountain along the ridge, and they also chatted. When they heard that Chen Jie had indulged in pleasure in his early years and ruined the Chen family's business, Doctor Bai also said a few words to Chen Jie, and he also sighed at Chen Yongwang's ending!
"Jiu Si, it's good that you've turned over a new leaf now, but don't do anything reckless in the future. Your grandfather's reputation will not be ruined by you."
"Yes Yes."
Chen Jie nodded in agreement. They had been walking on the mountain road for fifteen minutes. Chen Jie was sweating profusely. In order to leave a good impression on Doctor Bai, he also worked hard.
Feeling that Chen Jie's breathing was getting heavier, Doctor Bai said, "Take a break."
"It's okay. You can't afford to be injured any longer. You'd better get down the mountain as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Chen Jie continued to walk forward.
