The Exorcist

Chapter 8 God of Gamblers Chapter 12 Recuperation

Ruan Zhan was seriously injured.

Wan Li sent him to the hospital on the spot, saying that he had slipped and fallen from a height. He had three broken ribs and minor internal bleeding. Although he didn't need surgery, he had to be hospitalized.

It stands to reason that although the two evil spirits have very high magic power, they cannot defeat Ruan Zhan. Ruan Zhan has experienced too many dangers, defeating scholars who have practiced for hundreds of years, bloodthirsty witches from abroad, Japanese onmyoji and shikigami, geniuses who use poison, a pair of demon boys with three hundred years of magic power, and humans like Sima Nan Masters will never fall into their hands.

However, the news they brought was too shocking, which confused Ruan Zhan first, and then used the nature of father and son to make Ruan Zhan's powerful killing moves all come back to him. Not only was his body hurt, but his consciousness also remained. Unconscious, it was clear that the spell had also damaged his mind.

Looking at Ruan Zhan lying on the bed, Xiaoxia was very scared, fearing that he would die of serious injuries. She has seen him injured. In fact, ever since he got involved in the supernatural incident, which battle has he not tried his best? In which battle is the weak defeating the strong? Which battle will not end in failure? But no matter how seriously injured he was, even after the tragic victory against Sima Nan in Hongqing Town, he still looked extremely strong, as if nothing in the world could defeat him. But now, looking at him lying motionless on the bed, his face was as white as paper and his lips were bloodless, like a snow mountain that could melt at any time. When a person who is usually the strongest shows such vulnerability, it will make people feel sad inexplicably. What's more, this person is what Xiaoxia loves so much. Looking at him, her heart aches to the point of bleeding!

Guarding him, she began to blame herself. If she did not appear in his life, maybe he would live a safe and comfortable life without having to face so many hardships and hardships. She must have brought the disaster to him! Even this time it's the same. If she doesn't come back, those two evil spirits won't come to her, and then they won't recognize who Ruan Zhan is, let alone hurt him!

Carefully lying beside the bed, she gently hugged Ruan Zhan's neck and pressed her cheek against his cold face. Xiaoxia cried silently, and her tears stained Ruan Zhan's face. She was lucky to meet him, but to him, maybe she was a devil!

"I don't think it will help his recovery." As soon as Wan Li walked into the ward door, he saw Xiao Xia crying heartbrokenly, and comforted him, "He just had some of his sensory functions blocked due to the backlash of the spell. Bao Datong Didn’t I say that? With his authentic Taoist skills, Ah Zhan will be able to recover his spirit soon. As for his body - just like what your favorite cartoon said, he has the same resilience as a dog, so don’t worry , he will be fine soon."

Xiaoxia was just crying silently, but when Wanli comforted her, she couldn't help but start sobbing.

"Hey, hey, okay, don't cry." Wan Li patted Xiaoxia's head, "This is very unlucky, as if he is dead and you are his widow. Besides, he just can't wake up yet, and in his heart Maybe he understands very well that if you are so sad, he will be sad too."

"It's all my fault!"

"It's weird, why do I blame you?" Wanli Ren Xiaoxia held on to his sleeves and said with a smile, "Don't blame yourself for everything. Don't you think there is an arrangement somewhere? When you were in school , I always thought that my destiny was up to me, but now I understand that there is an invisible thread in this world that involves the destined person, and you have to face it whether you are willing or not. Believe me, you didn’t bring him any trouble. Come to disaster, maybe you gave him a chance to re-understand his life and future. You see, I was right, he kept silent, showing his acquiescence. Haha."

Xiaoxia knew that Wan Li was comforting her, but seeing Ruan Zhan's appearance, she couldn't relax no matter what. It wasn't until three days later, after Bao Datong continued to use Taoist magic to help him resolve the backlash spells accumulated in his body, that Ruan Zhan Finally woke up.

However, although his consciousness recovered, he developed a high fever, and his illness became severe and urgent. It seemed that all the loneliness and fragility he had experienced since childhood, all the pain caused by strength, and all the consequences of forcing himself were all in this injury. All of them broke out.

Xiao Xiayi took care of him without hesitation. She refused to leave anything to others, giving him medicine, feeding him, talking with him, and relieving his boredom. Ruan Zhan turned around. In fact, Ruan Zhan was just weak and his broken ribs had healed long ago. It was not that he couldn't take care of himself, but he forced Xiaoxia to act 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 he never thought that a girl like Xiao Xia, who looked prickly all over her body, could actually be a good wife and mother. He kept clamoring to pursue Xiao Xia publicly when Ruan Zhan got better.

As far as Ruan Zhan is concerned, although he was tied up by Xiao Xia and was unable to be free, this period of time was the happiest time in his life. He has never been cared for so meticulously, and he has never been so close to Xiaoxia. Looking at her crimson cheeks, her charming eyes, and her bright smile every day, I suddenly felt an infinite attachment to this world.

In the past, he didn't care about this life at all. Even though he was a little nervous and sad after hearing about the three disasters, he gradually changed to a mentality of calmly accepting his fate. But when Xiaoxia slowly penetrated into all his life, he suddenly realized that habits are a terrible thing. He was used to loving her, used to treating her tenderly, used to seeing her every day, used to having her by his side, which made him greedy for the feeling of being with her, and also gave birth to a strong desire to create a transition. The miracle of robbery, I want to continue living, even if I just stay by her side!

He even began to think that if he could survive this life-threatening situation, he could be with her!

When he was injured, he never mentioned his father. In fact, he kept thinking about it. However, to find out the answer, he must first find those two evil spirits. With his current physical condition, it is simply impossible. He was not an impulsive personality, so he kept silent and secretly practiced his spells, hoping to maximize his abilities. After more than two months, Xiaoxia finally allowed Ruan Zhan to move around freely, and he began physical exercise.

Those two villains knew about their father, so they must be caught and forced to tell them. And later from Xiao Xia's mouth, he heard that they had hurt her, so they would have to die. No one can hurt Xiao Xia without paying the price. If he hadn't followed Xiao Xia secretly that day because he thought Xiao Xia's words were flashy, they might have killed Xiao Xia and Wan Li.

Of these two people, one is his lifelong friend, and the other is his most beloved in the world, and he must protect him!

"Are you going to find those two villains?" Nothing about him could be hidden from Wan Li's eyes.

Ruan Zhan nodded.

"I won't stop you. After all, if you catch them, you can know about your uncle." Wan Li sighed, "But you can't believe everything they say. Although you are usually calm, caring will make you chaotic. Promise me, anything will be done." Think before you act.”

"Don't worry. I was fooled once and I will never make a mistake again." Ruan Zhan was always cold when talking about those two evil spirits.

"You don't think that uncle is a bad person, do you?" Wan Li thought of what the evil spirit said that day. It seemed that when A Zhan and his son met again, something difficult to understand would happen, as if his uncle had done something evil. But he would never believe that the old man was a villain. There must be some misunderstanding or secret. There must be.

Ruan Zhan raised his head and looked out the window, as if recalling the past. After a while, he said, "He is not a qualified father, but he is definitely not a bad person. In the past two months, I have been thinking about these things that happened every day. Now I begin 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 weird?" Ruan Zhan smiled bitterly, "I'm thinking that maybe he has his own reasons, just like I do with Xiaoxia. Obviously -" he paused, "but he forced himself to stay away from her."

"You can't let her go, are you? Do you want to accept her?"

"It depends."

"It seems that rest is beneficial. You have been lying down for more than two months. Although you will practice all night when Xiaoxia is not prepared, you seem to have figured out a lot. It seems that one day I will be injured and lie down. , when the time comes, lend me your Xiaoxia to serve me." Wan Li smiled when he heard Ruan Zhan's tone indicating that he wanted to fight against fate and fight for his own happiness, but couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

He was very happy that his friend had figured it out, and since he knew about A Zhan's father, he also decided to promote the relationship between Xiao Xia and A Zhan. He would never get involved or cause trouble, but it was really time for A Zhan to accept Xiao Xia. , his heart felt like a bunch of random needles had fallen, and he couldn't tell where the pain was, but it was uncomfortable.

He was once too confident and felt that he could control his feelings and would not have unnecessary thoughts about Xiaoxia. But when he suddenly realized that his feelings were out of control, they had overflowed and now they asked him to give them up, just like digging up his flesh every time. Like flesh and blood. However, he has always been a bystander to A Zhan and Xiao Xia, and has never taken a step into their relationship.

The first person he loved died; the person he married, he probably never really loved; the person he opened his heart to love again was deeply in love with his best friend - this is his sorrow .

"I won't borrow it." Ruan Zhan frowned, "You have so many admirers, just shout out to me, and I'm sure you'll be even more like a puppet than I have been in the past two months."

Banli laughed, although his heart still hurt. But he had never seen Ruan Zhan look childish. He had been as calm as an adult since he was a child. At this moment, when I heard that someone wanted to borrow Xiaoxia, it was as if someone was trying to steal his things, so I hurriedly defended him. His ridiculous and cute appearance should be taken as a souvenir.

"why are you laughing?"

"The face that laughs at you finally has a look other than a fake smile and a cold expression. Still a puppet? I see you are very happy being a puppet! Haha."

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

Wan Li still kept smiling. It was rare that Ruan Zhan felt so relaxed and clear in his heart. At this point, he was truly happy for his friend. However, the pain in my heart came up again, and I quickly suppressed it and just asked, "When are you going to confess your love to her? When you get through your death, right? Hou, I really want to see what Iceberg Man is going to do. Say the word 'love' to a woman."

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Ruan Zhan turned around, a little shy. He has also been among thousands of flowers. He didn't expect to be like this today. He even felt strange, "I still need to study how to deal with those evil pairs!"

"Do you know where to find them?"

"Xiao Xia said -" Ruan Zhan's voice couldn't help but become softer when she mentioned this name, "She once prepared a legal document for that 'God of Gamblers' He Fugui, about the development of a barren mountain. That mountain is called Tietou Mountain is in He Fugui's hometown. I wonder how a man who is addicted to gambling could possibly want to do something serious. No one has seen the value of development of that mountain for so many years. How can a gambler sell it? My wife's bastard saw something?! Think about it again, why did those two evil spirits help him? It can be speculated that this mountain may be wanted by those two evil spirits. It may be that the mountain has gathered spiritual energy, and they want to practice , settling down, or there may be other ulterior motives. You should know that if the development rights of that mountain belong to He Fugui, those two evil spirits can use their puppets to do whatever they want. Otherwise, why would they choose He Fugui? Why did you appear in Jinshi Town?"

"That's right." Wan Li nodded, "Only they have the motive to book the entire mountain, and they also have the convenience of appearing at that place and time. As for why He Fugui was trained to be the God of Gamblers, it may be because of his addiction to Gambling is like fate, and there are evil thoughts hidden in the heart, and it is easier to control. You must know that developing barren mountains requires a lot of money. Bao Datong and I talked about this 'God of Gambling', and he said that there is indeed a saying among the people that as long as Find a very sinister boy's grave, burn incense and go home in the middle of the night. The process is extremely dangerous, but as long as you are not scared to death, you can win every bet. It is unknown whether anyone has succeeded, but He Fugui can accumulate so much money in such a short period of time. The huge wealth must have come from gambling. A few days ago, the police caught a gambling bureau in the next street, and there were millions of dollars in gambling at one table."

"His money is not easy to get, there is no doubt about it. But no matter whether He Fugui went through the legendary toss or the two evil spirits helped him become the so-called 'God of Gamblers' in the gambling game, he is just a Just an accomplice, or just a tool to achieve an end."

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

"tomorrow."

"Do you need help?"

"No need, I have to solve these two things myself! By the way, I want to avenge He Fugui's wife. Xiaoxia really wants to do it, so I will help her do it. Besides, you have a job, and you have to stay here to help me take care of Xiaoxia . Bao Datong still has to keep an eye on the bar. I will regret leaving such cheap labor unused." Ruan Zhan made a rare joke. It can be seen that after thinking about it, he was in a much brighter mood.

"How do we do this?"

"Aren't those two evil spirits with He Fugui? I'll find He Fugui. Let's make a big bet with them!" Ruan Zhan smiled slightly and pursed the corner of his mouth. From every angle, he looked a little evil.
