Chapter 5 Conspiracy
The man who pushed the door in looked in his forties, strong figure, big bra and round waist, had some stains on his clothes, and seemed to have iron filings and fireworks. The door of the ward was opened by him rather than being pushed open by him.
There were two teenagers who came in with this man. One of these two teenagers was the fat man Su Chang whom he had seen when he woke up before, and the other was a little thin.
The three of them were sweating heavily and gasping, as if they were running all the way.
"Liqiang, are you okay? Your body still hurts now, are you feeling uncomfortable..."
Before Yan Liqiang could speak, the man in his forties strode over with anxiety, pressed Yan Liqiang's shoulder with both hands, and checked Yan Liqiang's body up and down. When he saw that Yan Liqiang's body was indeed not seriously injured, the man's anxious face relaxed a little.
Seeing the heartfelt concern and anxious expression on the man's face, Yan Liqiang's heart also felt an unspeakable touch. In his previous life, he grew up in an orphanage and had no idea what fatherly love was since he was a child. He did not expect that he would still have such a father in this life.
"Father, I'm fine. The injury has been taken with medicine. I guess it'll be better if I just have a few days off!"
"It's fine, it's fine!" The man pressed Yan Liqiang's big hands and finally left Yan Liqiang's shoulders. He breathed a sigh of relief. "If Su Chang and Qi Donglai hadn't come to tell me the news this time, I wouldn't know that something happened to you..." After saying this, the man turned his head and looked at the two boys who came in with him, "Su Chang, Donglai, go to the uncle's house another day, and uncle invites you to drink. It's getting late now. Your family is probably waiting for you. You can go home quickly!"
Su Chang nodded and glanced at Yan Liqiang, "Okay, Uncle Yan, since Liqiang has woken up, we will go back!"
"Go, go!"
The two teenagers were about to turn around and leave, but Yan Liqiang suddenly called them, "Su Chang, Donglai, thank you this time!"
The young man named Su Chang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect to hear the word Xie from Yan Liqiang's mouth. He chuckled and scratched his head, "This, it should be, it should..."
The young man named Qi Donglai next to him looked at Yan Liqiang in surprise, but found that Yan Liqiang's sharp gaze was staring at his face. The young man named Qi Donglai smiled, "Well, then Liqiang, you have a good rest!"
...
Seeing Su Chang and Qi Donglai leave, Yan Liqiang inexplicably had a question in his heart. For some reason, he felt that Qi Donglai seemed a little nervous. When he was just looking at him, the corner of his mouth involuntarily pursed inward, and there was a subconscious act of swallowing saliva. Such an expression, based on Yan Liqiang's experience and experience in his previous life, showed that the person was very nervous at that time.
Why is Qi Donglai nervous when facing himself?
Suddenly, Yan Liqiang thought about the situation when he was competing with Hong Tao today.
This time, he had an accident in the ring. When he was competing with Hong Tao, for a moment, he suddenly felt his right foot's calf suddenly numb, his whole body stiffened, and his movements slowed down. As a result, Hong Tao seized the opportunity, snatched the opportunity to approach him, and used the iron sand palm. His two palms hit him heavily, knocking him out of the competition ring. He was defeated miserably and suffered injuries. He was unable to fully recover in a short period of time.
He really didn't know that Hong Tao had been secretly practicing the Iron Sand Palm, but even if Hong Tao practiced, it was not too long after all. His Iron Sand Palm had not yet entered the house. If he really wanted to fight, he wouldn't lose so badly and lose so ugly in front of everyone.
"Li Qiang, isn't that Hong Tao equal to you before? You have been comparing before. Even if he practiced the Iron Sand Palm and had some heat, it didn't take long after all. Today, you shouldn't lose so badly in the ring. What's going on?"
After Su Chang and Qi Donglai left, Yan Liqiang's father Yan Dechang immediately asked about the situation on the ring today with a serious expression. Judging from his face, Yan Dechang felt more resentful than Yan Liqiang's failure this time.
"I don't know what's going on, but there was a moment when I didn't react and I was hit by Hong Tao. Maybe I was shocked to find that Hong Tao learned the iron sand palm..." Yan Liqiang said in a hurry.
"The victory or defeat of a competition doesn't mean anything. Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. As long as you go back and work hard and summarize your experience, you will definitely defeat Hong Tao in the ring next time. You must become the strongest one in your generation in Qinghe County. You must knock down that Hong Tao. Have you heard it?" Yan Dechang stared at Yan Liqiang with a bright look, with great expectations in his eyes, and his tone puts inexplicable pressure. His hand fell on Yan Liqiang's shoulder again and squeezed it hard.
What else could Yan Liqiang say? He just nodded habitually. Over the past years, Yan Liqiang has developed the habit of obeying his father, and the "small goal" of his life given to him is to become the first person of the younger generation in Qinghe County.
Seeing Yan Liqiang nodding, Yan Dechang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the following time, Yan Dechang found the doctor from the clinic and asked Yan Liqiang about his injuries without getting tired of it. He learned that Yan Liqiang's body was indeed not seriously damaged, but there was a bit of blood in his chest. As long as he did not practice martial arts and did too much exercise within the past or two months, he would slowly recover. He bought two bottles of medicinal wine for the treatment of the injury in the clinic, and then he left the clinic with Yan Liqiang.
The clinic was in the National Museum of War. When the two of them walked out of the clinic, the National Museum of War had already become deserted. The martial arts field and the arena were empty, and there was no hustle and bustle during the day. Only in the clinic, there were people who were still seeing the doctor.
Yan Dechang, who walked out of the National Museum of War, frowned, and his face was like a block of iron. The doctor said that Yan Liqiang needed to rest for at least one or two months, and his face darkened. Because if this was the case, it meant that Yan Liqiang might not be able to participate in the National Bureau of War exam two months later...
Outside the National Museum of War is Qinghe County. The county town is naturally the most prosperous place in Qinghe County. The street outside the National Museum of War is five meters wide, with traffic and crowds of people coming and going, and shops and tall buildings on the street are everywhere, which is very lively.
At this moment, the sun was setting, and the sky was just getting dark, and there were strings of red lanterns hanging at the doors of some shops. Among the people coming and going on the street, many people were wearing long Hanfu and swords hanging on their waists. They were all floating and heroic, and looking around, it was like being in a dream.
Yan Dechang looked around and directly ordered Yan Liqiang, "You just wait here. The doctor told me just now that you should try to move as little as possible in the past few days. I'll call a car. There are still a few miles from here to home. Today we will take the bus back!"
After saying that, Yan Dechang walked straight to the side of the street to look for a car without waiting for Yan Liqiang to speak.
Seeing Yan Dechang leave, Yan Liqiang smiled bitterly. As a father, Yan Dechang was too ruling with Yan Liqiang. In his memory, Yan Dechang was a tiger father. From childhood to adulthood, he arranged everything about Yan Liqiang. He didn't worry about anything. The only thing Yan Liqiang needed to do was to practice martial arts, practice martial arts, practice martial arts, become stronger, become stronger, become stronger. It is precisely because of such a father that Yan Liqiang had almost no life and fun of his peers since he was a child, and nothing was left.
Good friends are a bit introverted, taciturn, and don’t understand the worldly ways. Because of this personality, almost no one in the town school is willing to get too close to Yan Liqiang. Because there are many training and fighting courses in the school, in these courses, the students who were beaten by Yan Liqiang naturally hated Yan Liqiang. This is also the reason why so many people gloat about Yan Liqiang after Yan Liqiang was beaten off the ring today, and some even deliberately fell him off the stretcher.
It has to be said that in terms of human relationships and interpersonal communication, Yan Liqiang has been a living negative teaching material for the past decade.
As for Su Chang and Qi Donglai, the two of them have not been close to Yan Liqiang for a long time, less than a year. It is also because one day after school last year, Yan Liqiang saw that they were bullied and extorted by several people from the school. Yan Liqiang rescued two people once. Since then, Su Chang and Qi Donglai have regarded Yan Liqiang as good friends and have dated Yan Liqiang.
After waiting for Yan Dechang's figure to disappear at the end of the street, Yan Liqiang squatted down, rolled up the legs of his right trousers, and looked carefully.
It took almost no time. Yan Liqiang, based on his feelings at that time, found a red blood spot on his right calf as if he had been stabbed by a needle. Correspondingly, there was a small area on the rolled-up trousers with a darker color, and if it had been stained with a drop of oil.
There is only a little trace, and if you don’t look carefully, you can’t even find it.
Looking at the trace left on his calves, Yan Liqiang's eyes froze, and something suddenly came to his mind - ice ants.
Ice ants are strange creatures. This creature is highly toxic. Once bitten by ice ants, it will make people feel numb all over.
Most ice ants live only in the mountains and forests. Like ordinary ants, they are social animals. They rarely appear in places where people live, but they cannot be said to be absolutely none, because almost every year, Yan Liqiang heard news that there are hunters or woodcutters who go up the mountain to hunt and hunt after returning home.
Ice ants are about the same size as ordinary ants, and are snow-white all over. Some are almost transparent, so it is difficult to see at a glance. Many people who go up the mountain will bring back several ice ants by accident. For people, being bitten by one or two ice ants will not be able to kill them, but their bodies will be paralyzed for a moment, but if they are bitten by a group of ice ants, it may be dead. Once the ice ants bite and release all the toxins in their bodies, they will die immediately like bees after sting them. Its body will melt like ice and turn into liquid like water droplets.
The traces on my calf and my feeling at that time were exactly in line with the characteristics of being bitten by ice ants.
How could there be an ice ant inexplicably on me?
Thinking of Qi Donglai's nervousness just now, in a moment, with Yan Liqiang's wisdom, he outlined everything in his head.
What a calculating thing!
Yan Liqiang didn't want Yan Dechang to know about such a thing. If Yan Dechang knew that Yan Liqiang failed the first test in the county exam, he was plotted against him, with Yan Dechang's temperament, he might be jealous and find someone to fight to the death.
Hong Tao's father was the pavilion chief of Liuhe Town, Qinghe County. His family's uncles were some in Qinghe County, some in Pingxi County, and several of them were among the public. In Qinghe County, the Hong family can be regarded as a big family, which is not comparable to ordinary families. In Liuhe Town, the Hong family is the best family in the town.
Yan Liqiang's home is in Liuhe Town.
