Chapter 111: Escape
Yan Xin was exasperated.
Tong Lin said in a low voice, “Nanxing, you’re going to be our hostage so we can escape safely.”
I sat on the ground and weighed the at hamr I grabbed from the kitchen earlier. “Cousin Tong Lin, you told you were not going to fight, but I should have known better to trust you. Also, if you have not figured it out by now, I do not like to be used by others.”
I stood up and swung the hamr at the glass window. I jumped out. The glass shards cut my skin but I couldn’t feel any pain.
Thankfully I was on the 2nd floor. I shielded my head as I fell. Flying through the air, I thought.?Why am I suddenly so agile and strong? Did the rebirth cause my body to mutate??Reality proved that I was overthinking. The mont I landed, there was a crack on my ankle. The piercing pain made cry out involuntarily.
“Sister Xing!”An exclamation sounded not far away from . The voice was familiar, I missed them dearly. At that mont, my nerves relaxed. Since Brother Hu’s unit was here, it ant that my little uncle and Jing Tian were here as well. Even if they weren’t, Gao Da and Gao Jing would be.
I opened my head to the stars in the night sky. Beyond my sight, I hear gunshots and explosions.
This place is really beautiful. Perhaps I can retire here with Jing Tian.?I saw my father holding my mother’s hand as they walked along the beach. I was playing with the waves. I felt loved and cherished. I smiled and closed my eyes. It was a dream.
When I opened my eyes next, my parents were gone. I saw nothing but white. I closed my eyes. A beeping sound entered my ears. I listened carefully and identified it as a heartbeat monitor. I opened my eyes again. I was in the hospital. I was wrapped like a mummy. All kind of instrunts surrounded .
I tried to move but one hand was attached to a drip and the other was being pressed in place. I turned and saw a furry black thing. It gave a fright and I pulled my arm back. The black thing sat up and that gave another scare.?Am I dead? Is this a ghost? No wait… It’s Jing Ni!
Jing Ni looked at blurrily before she scread in surprise. “Nanxing! Nanxing, you’re awake?” She jumped up in joy. She hugged my head and kissed it. “Nanxing! You’re finally awake!” I could feel her joy.
Then she suddenly hugged my arm and cried, “Nanxing, I’m sorry! This is all my fault! I shouldn’t have lied to you! Nanxing, hit , scold ! I’m so sorry!”
Her roller-coaster of emotions startled . I sighed and placed my index finger on her lips. Jing Ni stopped crying. She looked at through her tears. “Nanxing, do you need anything?”
I shook my head softly. Jing Ni sobbed quietly. “Nanxing, do you feel any pain? Do you want to get the doctor?”
I shook my head again. I looked at my left arm. I tried to lift it but I couldn’t. I sighed and asked Jing Ni. “Am I an invalid now?”
Jing Ni widened her eyes at . She didn’t understand what I ant.
“Will I be able to use my arm in the future?”
Jing Ni finally got it. “Your arm is fine. Lin Ran personally treated the wound. He said the bullet penetrated your body and it didn’t hurt the bone so you should heal just fine.”
I nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. If I lost my arm, I would have Yan Xin compensate with her life.
“Nanxing, do you want so water?” Jing Ni asked carefully. I nodded.
Jing Ni imdiately poured so warm water and carefully inserted a straw into my mouth.
I took a big gulp and started coughing. It caused the wounds all over my body to tear. The pain was excruciating. I moaned in pain.
Jing Ni quickly put down the water and shouted nervously. “I need help, please! Doctor!”
