Chapter 12: Rehabilitation

Ruan Zhan was seriously injured.

Wanli sent him to the hospital on the spot, saying that he had fallen from a high place and injured him. He had three ribs broken and had mild internal bleeding. Although he did not need surgery, he had to be hospitalized.

Logically speaking, although the two evil spirits had high magic power, they could not beat Ruan Zhan. Ruan Zhan had experienced too many dangers, defeating scholars who had been practicing for a hundred years, bloodthirsty witches from abroad, Japanese Onmyoji and Shikigami, geniuses of the Gu, a pair of demon children with three hundred years of magic power, and human masters like Sima Nan would never be left in their hands.

However, the news they brought was too shocking, which made Ruan Zhanxian confused. Then he used his father and son nature to let Ruan Zhan's powerful killer moves back on his body. Not only was his body hurt, but his consciousness was also not clear. Obviously, the spell also hurt his mind.

Looking at Ruan Zhan lying on the bed, Xiaoxia was very scared, afraid that he would be seriously injured. She had seen him get injured. In fact, since he intervened in a supernatural incident, which battle did not do his best? Which battle did not defeat the strong? Which battle would not be a lottery? But no matter how severe the injury was, even in Hongqing Town, he still seemed extremely strong, as if nothing in the world could defeat him. But now, seeing him lying motionlessly on the bed, his face as white as paper, his lips were bloodless, like a snow mountain that could melt at any time. The strongest person on weekdays showed such a fragile appearance, which made people feel sad inexplicably. What's more, this person is loved so much by Xiaoxia. Looking at him, her heartache was so painful that she was dripping from bleeding!

She began to blame herself. If she didn't appear in his life, maybe he would live a safe and comfortable life without facing so many hardships and hardships. She brought the disaster to him! Even this time, if she didn't come back, the two evil spirits wouldn't come to her, then they wouldn't recognize who Ruan Zhan was, and wouldn't hurt him!

He lay carefully beside the bed, gently hugged Ruan Zhan's neck, his cheek against his cold face, Xiao Xia cried silently, and tears also touched Ruan Zhan's face. It was her luck to meet him, but for him, maybe she was a devil!

"I don't think you will help him recover like this." As soon as Wanli walked into the ward door, he saw Xiaoxia crying heartbrokenly and comforted, "He just sealed some of the functions of the senses because of the backlash of magic. Didn't Bao Datong say that? With his authentic Taoist technique, Azhan will soon be restored to his spirit. As for his body - just as you love cartoon, he has the resilience like a dog, even if you don't worry, he will be well soon."

Xiao Xia just cried without saying a word. When Wanli comforted her, she couldn't help but sobbed.

"Hey, okay, stop crying." Wanli patted Xiaoxia's head, "This is very unlucky, as if he is dead, you are his vassal. Besides, he just can't wake up yet, and maybe he understands very well that if you are so sad, he will be sad."

"It's all my fault!"

"It's strange, why blame you?" Wanli Ren Xiaoxia pulled his sleeve and said with a smile, "Don't blame everything on yourself. Don't you think there is a plan in the dark? When I was in school, I always thought that my fate was up to me. Now I understand that there is an invisible thread in this world that involves destined people, and whether you want to or not, you have to face it. Believe me, you didn't bring him disaster, maybe you gave him the opportunity to re-understand his life and future. Look, I was not wrong, he kept silent, expressing acquiescence. Haha."

Xiao Xia knew that Wanli was comforting her, but when she saw Ruan Zhan's appearance, she couldn't feel relieved no matter what. Until three days later, after Bao Datong continued to use Taoist techniques to help him resolve the backlash magic accumulated in his body, Ruan Zhan finally woke up.

However, although his consciousness recovered, he developed a high fever. The disease came in a heavy and urgent manner, as if all the loneliness and fragility, all the pain under strength, and all the consequences of forcing himself had all erupted in this injury.

Xiao Xiayi took care of him in disguise, and refused to use anything to others. She fed medicine, fed food, talked with him, relieved her boredom. The office did not go back and did not take anything to heart. Every day, she revolved around Ruan Zhan. In fact, Ruan Zhan was just weak and powerless. The broken ribs had already healed, and it was not that she could not take care of herself. But she forced Xiao Xia to force her like a paralyzed patient and refused to let him do anything. She was so nervous that Ruan Zhan had no choice but to cooperate with her. Bao Datong once joked that she had never thought that Xiao Xia, who seemed to be thorny, was a woman with a good wife and mother, and she kept yelling to wait for Ruan Zhan to openly pursue Xiao Xia.

As for Ruan Zhan, although he was tied up by Xiaoxia, this period was the happiest time in his life. He had never been cared for so meticulously, and he had never been so close to Xiaoxia. Every day, he looked at her blushing cheeks, her charming eyes, and her bright smile, and suddenly he developed infinite attachment to this world.

In the past, he didn't care about this life at all. Even though he heard that he was a little nervous and sad after the three difficulties, he gradually became a calm mind of accepting fate. But when Xiao Xia slowly penetrated into all his life, he suddenly realized that habits were a terrible thing. He was used to loving her, used to treating her gently, used to seeing her every day, and used to having her by his side. This made him greedy for the feeling of being with her, and also gave birth to a strong desire, wanting to create miracles of tribulation, wanting to continue living, even if he just stays by her!

Even, he began to think that if he could survive this death disaster in his life, he could be with her!

When he was injured, he never mentioned his father's affairs. In fact, he kept thinking in his heart. However, to find the answer, he had to find the two evil spirits first. With his current physical condition, it was impossible. He was not an impulsive personality, so he remained silent very forbearingly, but just practiced his own magic secretly and wanted to increase his ability to the highest level. After more than two months, Xiao Xia finally allowed Ruan Zhan to move freely, and he began physical exercise.

The two evil spirits knew about their father and had to catch them and force them to tell them. And later, from Xiao Xia's mouth, he heard that they had hurt her, so they would die even more. No one could hurt Xiao Xia without paying the price. If it weren't for his thoughts that Xiao Xia's words were flashing and he followed secretly that day, they might have killed Xiao Xia and Wan Li.

These two people, one is a friend who has a life-long friendship, and the other is his favorite in this world, and he must protect it!

"Are you going to find those two evil spirits?" Nothing about him could hide from Wanli's eyes.

Ruan Zhan nodded.

"I won't stop you. After all, you can know about my uncle if you catch them." Wanli sighed, "But you can't believe them all. Although you are calm in normal times, you will be confused when you care. If you promise me, you must think twice before doing anything."

"Don't worry. I've been fooled once and I will never make a mistake for the second time." When talking about the two evil spirits, Ruan Zhan was always cold.

"You don't think that uncle is a bad person, right?" Wanli remembered what the evil demon said that day. It seemed that when Azhan and his son met again, there would be a very difficult situation. It seemed that his uncle had done something evil. But he would not believe that the old man was a bad person, and there must be any misunderstanding or secret, it must be.

Ruan Zhan looked out the window, as if he was recalling the past. After a while, he said, "He is not a qualified father, but he is definitely not a villain. For the past two months, I have been thinking about these things happening every day. Now I start to feel that my birth, abandonment, retrieval, and his death are all related to a huge secret."

"Don't you hate him anymore?"

"Is it strange?" Ruan Zhan smiled bitterly, "I was thinking that he might have a hard time, just like I did to Xiao Xia. " He paused, "but he forced himself to stay away from her."

"I can't bear to leave her, right? Do you want to accept her?"

“It depends on the situation.”

"It seems that resting is good. You have been lying for more than two months. Although you will practice all night while Xiao Xia is not prepared, it seems that you have figured it out a lot. It seems that I will be injured one day and lie down. Then I will lend your Xiao Xia to serve me." Wan Li smiled and couldn't tell what it felt in his heart when he heard Ruan Zhan's tone.

He was very happy that his friend figured it out, and since he learned about Azhan's father, he decided to promote the relationship between Xiaoxia and Azhan. He would never get into a quarrel, and it would cause trouble. However, when Azhan wanted to accept Xiaoxia, his heart was like a scattered needle falling into a stolen needle, which made him unable to explain where the pain was, but it was so uncomfortable.

He was too confident for a time and felt that he could control his feelings and would not have any extra thoughts about Xiao Xia. But when he suddenly realized that his emotions had been out of control and it had become a disaster. Now he wanted him to give up, just like digging out his flesh and blood. However, for Azhan and Xiao Xia, he was always a bystander and never got into this relationship.

The first person he loved was dead; he probably never really loved the person he married; the person he loved once again opened his heart and deeply loved his best friend - this is his sorrow.

"No borrowing." Ruan Zhan frowned, "You have so many admirers, just shout, "You are more like a puppet than I have in these two months."

Wanli laughed loudly, although his heart still hurt. But he had never seen Ruan Zhan's childish look. He had been as quiet as an adult since he was a child. At this moment, he heard someone want to borrow Xiaoxia, as if someone wanted to steal his stuff. He hurriedly defended his ridiculous and cute appearance. He should take a look at it.

"why are you laughing?"

"Your poker face, laughing at you, finally has a sense of being a false smile and a cold mouth. And a puppet? I think you are very happy to be a puppet! Haha."

"Idiot! I really don't know what those women like you!" Ruan Zhan scolded.

Wanli still smiled lightly. It was rare that Ruan Zhan had such a relaxed and clear goal in his heart. He was really happy for his friends in this regard. However, the pain in his heart came up again, and he quickly suppressed it and asked, "When are you going to confess to her? Are you going to survive your death disaster? I really want to see how the iceberg man would say the word 'love' to a woman."

"I don't have time to talk nonsense to you." Ruan Zhan turned around, and was a little shy. He was also a person who lived among the flowers. He didn't expect this to happen today. He even felt strange, "I also need to study how to deal with that pair of evil spirits!"

"Do you know where to find them?"

"Xiao Xia said-" Speaking of this name, Ruan Zhan's voice softened, "She had prepared a legal document for the 'Gambling God' He Fugui, which was about developing a barren mountain. The mountain was called Tietou Mountain, which was in He Fugui's hometown. I was wondering, how could such a person who was addicted to gambling and life want to do a good job? The mountain has not been seen in the value of development for so many years, how could a bastard who bet on his wife see what treasure came? Think about it again, why did those two evil spirits help him? It can be speculated that this mountain might be what the two evil spirits wanted, and it might be that the mountain gathered spiritual energy, they wanted to practice, settle down, and there might be other unspeakable purposes. You should know that if the development rights of that mountain belonged to He Fugui, the two evil spirits could use their puppets to do whatever they wanted. Otherwise, why did they choose He Fugui? Why did it appear in Jinshi Town?"

"That's right." Wan Li nodded, "Only they have the motivation to take over the entire mountain, and they also have the convenience of appearing in that place and time. As for why He Fugui is cultivating him as a gambling god, it may be related to his obsession with gambling, he has evil thoughts hidden in his heart, and is easier to control. You must know that developing a barren mountain requires a lot of money. Bao Datong and I talked to this 'gambling god'. He said that there is indeed a saying among the people: as long as you find a very fierce boy's grave, and then burn incense to go home in the middle of the night, it is extremely dangerous during the period, but as long as you are not scared to death, you can win every gambling. It is unknown whether anyone has succeeded, but He Fugui can accumulate such a large amount of wealth in such a short time, and the money must be obtained through invincible gambling. A few days ago, the police caught a gambling game on the street next door, and there were millions of gambling funds in just one table."

"His money is not easy to come by, so there is no need to doubt this. But no matter whether He Fugui has gone through the legendary tossing or whether the two evil spirits helped him become the so-called 'God of Gambling' in the gambling game, he is just an accomplice, or just a tool to achieve his goal."

"That's right." Wanli agreed, "Then when are you going to leave?"

"tomorrow."

"Do you want someone to help?"

"No, I have to solve these two things myself! By the way, I avenge He Fugui's wife. Xiaoxia really wants to do this, so I will help her. Besides, you have a job, and you also have to stay here to help me take care of Xiaoxia. Bao Datong also has to stare at the bar. I will regret it if I put such cheap labor." Ruan Zhan joked rarely, but it was obvious that after thinking about it, he was much cheerful.

“How to do it?”
