Chapter 72: Carried on my back
I didn’t understand why Jiangyi’s face looked so bad. Just as I didn’t understand why Jenny said she was going to carry me somewhere. Did this have anything to do with my injury getting better in three days? Could this be her way of showing me affection?
At this point, even if I were stupid, I could vaguely guess that Jenny and my wayward master had some sort of relationship, but I didn’t dare to guess what kind of relationship it was. Anyway, looking at Jenny’s “wild” and fashionable image, I would never dare to guess that it was about love. Because when I first saw the portrait of my master, the image of the old farmer basking in the sun at the foot of the wall, I thought they, heh, didn’t match…
“Big sister, I always feel that you are letting Chengyi rest. At first, you only existed as a kind of ‘guardian’. If Chengyi asks for three days, you must heal him within three days. This is probably spoiling the child, right?” I was still thinking maliciously that if Jenny and my master were to get married, would it be a scene of incongruity where my master was wearing a red robe as a Chinese groom and Jenny was wearing a white wedding dress, while they were saying the words of the wedding ceremony, and the priest was asking, “Do you take each other as husband and wife?”
Child, spoiled? It was at this moment that I realized that goose bumps are something that I can’t control.
Jenny didn’t get angry, but looked at me and said, “Why three days? I guessed right. You want to personally avenge the little guy named Lao Hui, don’t you? That little guy is quite good.”
When Jenny mentioned Lao Hui, my heart ached a little, but I still nodded without hesitation and said, “Yes, that’s what I think.”
“Although, this operation will not destroy their foundation. Just as they have been secretly carrying out a plan against heaven, they have secretly transferred key personnel, and some powerful people are openly and secretly protecting them. But that doesn’t mean that this major purge is not dangerous. Sacrifices will definitely be made. After all, the little devils will definitely exist. Chengyi, are you really sure?” Sister Jenny suddenly asked me again in a serious tone.
“What am I afraid of?” I looked at Jenny and said, “I’m not afraid of anything!” Yes, what am I afraid of? My master is a bachelor who often puts life and death aside. What am I afraid of?
“That’s right!” Jenny slapped the table and yelled at Jiang Yi, “Did you hear that? This is what my good boy asked for. This is his obsession. If he can’t accomplish it, he will be upset. If he is upset, it will destroy his heart and affect his practice. Do you dare to stop me?”
Jiang Yi was sweating profusely and dared not say anything more. He could only say in a low voice, “Sister, do you think it is necessary to expose children to things or people that they shouldn’t be exposed to? I don’t think it’s necessary. I always think that the world view should be step by step, slowly and steadily. Seeing more things that are difficult to accept will inevitably lead to over-ambitiousness, or… In short, I don’t think it’s good to stand in a certain position and see a certain world.”
Jenny looked at Jiangyi and said, “Do you think that if they see ghosts and monsters, strange insects and beasts… and listen to all kinds of legends, that it is true, or even Kunlun, then they will be able to take one step at a time. I don’t know about the others, but the children of the Li family are down-to-earth. They see what they see, and it doesn’t matter. If they are successful, they may be able to reach my realm. Don’t stop me. You are too conservative and stick to the rules. That’s why you can’t even cultivate the natural heart of seclusion, and you can only be the boss of a secular XX department.
Jiang Yi seemed to have been hit on the head by Jenny’s words, and he was a little embarrassed and silent. He could only sigh and say, “Then feel free to do as you like. Chengyi, if you recover, report to the XX branch. Someone will give you the news and take you to the place you should go to and keep up with our actions.”
After that, Jiangyi sighed and left. The people in the room were stunned. At this time, Jiangyi’s identity was revealed. The boss of the XX department. Everyone present, except for Su Rou, had heard the legend that the boss of the XX department was an existence close to the immortal.
And for such an existence, Jenny’s boss scolded him at will, and Jiangyi had to nod and agree. What was Jenny’s boss’s identity? She always hinted at her bond with Old Li. She was so young, and in the conversation just now, she always avoided the issue of her identity, and she wouldn’t even reveal her real name. There was too much mystery about her!
After Jiangyi left, Jenny came over and rudely removed the IV tube from my body. She said, “These things are as harmful as they are useful. The side effects are needless to say. Don’t lose it. Come with me.”
Ru Xue couldn’t help but ask, “Jenny, it’s late at night, and you’re taking Chengyi. You said you’d carry him on your back. If it’s close, you could just drive there. It’s not that hard.”
Jenny, the leader of the group, rarely spoke kindly to anyone. She was inexplicably friendly to Ru Xue. She smiled and said, “Good girl, actually, it’s very far away. In order to hurry, I really have to carry him on my back.”
Then she kicked me, who had just stood up, and said, “Hurry up, you little brat!”
I had just gotten up and was still weak, so the kick made me stumble and almost fall, but I couldn’t help but laugh foolishly, because it was the first time that Jenny had called Ru Xue a good girl, and I was very happy.
“You guys just wait in this room for about 4 or 5 hours, and we’ll be back. I want to take a good look at you youngsters. I like all of you very much. There must be several of you who are Li’s grandchildren, right? I said that I don’t want to be bound by your family, but as soon as I saw you, I wanted to take a good look. I really am not cool.” While she was talking, Jenny didn’t forget to grab my collar so that I wouldn’t fall. I can only say that she has a lot of strength, and she can easily grab a guy my size.
I was half dragged by Jenny, who was wearing a hospital gown. She was so petite that she could easily drag me around, and she could even talk to me while dragging me.
“This time, I’m going to take you to a village where people grow herbs that are good for the soul. A prescription is a way to combine herbs in the right proportions to maximize their effect. For example, if you take one herb, it will only have an effect of 1. But if you make pills from a prescription, it will have an effect of 10. This is the biggest reason why you can recover from your injuries in three days!” While saying this, Jenny took a cigarette out of her mouth. We walked down the road in the middle of the night, she looked like a loan shark, and I looked like a guy who had run away from his debts and had to go to the hospital, but was still ‘caught out’. Fortunately, there weren’t many people.
This is a very simple truth that everyone understands, but I couldn’t figure out what Jenny was trying to say to me. Before I could ask, she continued, “The point is that no matter what kind of prescription it is, it can’t be separated from those basic herbs. The owner of the Zhuangzi I want to take you to is a collector, collecting herbs, and is quite knowledgeable about prescriptions and medicine. He is the most powerful medical practitioner I know in the world. Going there, you can get the pills for you in the first place! Of course, if we give it time, there is a chance that Chen Liren, that little guy, will grow up and surpass us. But that’s just if. If those little guys don’t listen, if they refuse to take the practical path and instead choose the most ethereal and illusory path, and if they say it’s because they feel…”
At this point, Jenny suddenly stopped talking and hailed a taxi. To be honest, I thought Jenny was quite a chatterbox on the way here, but why did she stop talking when it mattered?
And why did she call a taxi? Didn’t she say she would carry me? I don’t understand her anyway, and I don’t bother to ask. I don’t dare to ask for the key information I want to know. I said that I am a little afraid of Jenny.
In the taxi, Jenny casually mentioned a very remote place, and then let the taxi leave. Fortunately, the hospital where I was was also very remote, so the place was not far away, and it was rare to meet a taxi.
It seemed that the words just now had stirred up Jenny’s thoughts, and she kept quiet in the car. She didn’t say a word until the car arrived at its destination.
When we arrived at the destination, Jenny walked in front of me, and I followed behind. She walked further and further into the wilderness, and I had a lot of questions, but I could only follow her obediently, because I knew that she would not harm me. On the contrary, she was ‘spoiling’ us, so I was extremely relieved to follow her.
When we arrived at a dark place, Jenny suddenly stopped and said, “Let’s do it here.”
Is this the Zhuangzi? I was about to ask, but then I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, and then I lost consciousness. She wouldn’t hurt me, would she? What was she doing? That was my last thought.
Then I felt my whole body light up, but I didn’t know what was happening. When I finally came to, I saw the environment I was in. I almost went crazy. My three views were completely destroyed. I was being carried by Jenny, but I was in the sky鈥攊n the sky!
