Chapter 003: Sun Bo

Finally, after the "doctor" finished the "surgery", Zheng Yong could no longer hold on and fainted...

"Young man, bear with the pain; this bullet must be removed, otherwise your arm will be ruined"

When he woke up again, a spoonful of thin porridge was being brought to his mouth. As he opened his eyes, he saw a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, carefully scooping another spoonful of porridge from the bowl and blowing on it gently. Just as she was about to place it in Zheng Yong's mouth, she noticed that he had opened his eyes. Her face instantly flushed red, and then, in surprise, she turned her head to call out to someone outside.

Zheng Yong also remained silent, which could be taken as an acknowledgment of Sun Bo's speculation. After a while, he curiously asked, "Old... Sun Bo, have you always been in this Ma family's shack?"

I initially thought that in this small shed, I could easily brush off the conversation with a few casual remarks. However, to my surprise, this seemingly unremarkable old man accurately identified the type of bullet, which left Zheng Yongda feeling quite embarrassed

Yuan Gongbao

Who would have thought that not a single person would come in, but instead, that cold voice once again reached Zheng Yong's ears: "So you've woken up, is it really worth making such a fuss over?"

It must be said that Zheng Yong's life was saved by Chun Ni. If it weren't for Chun Ni spotting a person drifting down the river and quickly calling her father and Sun Bo for help, Zheng Yong might have truly "sacrificed himself".

Zheng Yongfa let out a heart-wrenching roar, as if the immense pain were about to tear him apart, yet the sound was stuck in his throat, unable to escape

During these days of recuperation, Zheng Yong had already prepared a set of responses. When Sun Bo asked this question, without a moment's hesitation, he replied: "I was originally a student, but later encountered bandits, and as a result ... "

If a man cannot even endure this little pain, what difference is there between him and a woman

After being cared for for about seven or eight days, Zheng Yong was finally able to get out of bed. During this time, he was especially grateful for Chun Ni's attentive service. However, what he found most unbearable was his father, Ma Dashan, who had not given him a single kind look throughout the entire time.

Sun Bo waved his hand and smiled, saying: "Considering https://www.hetushu.com, I know you are not an ordinary person. Since you are unwilling to speak, I cannot force you. However, if I am not mistaken, you must have a military background."

"Grandfather, father, he has woken up!"

As for the one who performed surgery on Zheng Yong, it was Chun Ni's great-uncle, also known as her mother's uncle, referred to as Sun Bo. It is said that he had previously served in the military, but when asked further, Chun Ni was unwilling to say more.

"Beard?" Zheng Yong almost blurted out, as the tone was too reminiscent of Beard's way of speaking. However, he immediately dismissed his own thought, as this man's voice sounded much older than Beard's.

While chatting casually, Zheng Yong suddenly thought of something, and a cold sweat broke out all over him: "Chun Ni, when you rescued me, did you see an oiled paper bag?"

Ah!

Zheng Yong smiled wryly; after all, it was not the first time he had encountered such a person in this era. After asking a few questions, he learned that this place was called Majiapeng, and the young lady was named Chun Ni. Her father was Ma Dashan, a straightforward farmer who had never strayed from this land for generations. Everything else was fine, except for his somewhat fiery temper

Zheng Yong sat down beside him and, following Chun Ni's way of addressing, said: "Old Grandpa, this time we owe it all to you. If it weren't for you, with only Chun Ni and Ma Dad, I fear that not only my arms but even my life would have been lost..."

"Old Grandpa? You can't just call him that; otherwise, you'll become Chun Ni's man," Sun Bo laughed heartily. Zheng Yong's face turned somewhat awkward as he asked, "What happened to this injury?"

Young man, can you come out and move around now

"Just returned, just returned." Sun Bo sighed, picked up the teapot and took a sip, and said leisurely: "Do you know how I guessed that you were a soldier? I served in the military long before you did. Many years ago, when Yuan Gongbao was training troops at the small station, I was already under his command. In our lifetime, we have seen many who make a living from this profession."

When Jian Chunni nodded, Zheng Yong finally felt a sense of relief. However, the words that followed chilled his heart once again: "What I found on you, although it was well wrapped, has mostly deteriorated from being soaked in water for too long. I did my best to dry some of it in the sun. Once you are able to get out of bed, I will bring it to you."

Following the sound, it was indeed the old man Sun, who had helped me change my dressings several times over the past few days. He was sitting on a chair, savoring tea from a teapot, basking in the sun while waving to Zheng Yong.

He then realized that a piece of wood had been stuffed into his mouth, tightly bound with a strip of cloth. His entire body was naked, and he was lying face down on a wooden board, with both his hands and feet pulled up and firmly tied to four wooden stakes, rendering him completely unable to move

The voice of a middle-aged man quickly dispelled his thoughts, and only then did he feel someone wielding a knife at his left shoulder. It occurred to him that he had been injured before jumping off the cliff

Sun Boxiang seemed to be lost in thought, speaking to himself: "If it weren't for the later events, when the President was bewitched and wanted to become an emperor, those so-called revolutionaries would have been no match for our Beiyang Army. Not to mention anything else, just the three outstanding figures under the President's command, any one of them would be a prominent character in front of others!

"Bandit?" Sun Bo laughed heartily and pointed at Zheng Yong's arm, saying:

Zheng Yongchang let out a long sigh, perhaps this is what is known as fate

Captured? Caught by the enemy and being tortured? This was the first thought that crossed Zheng Yong's mind

As Chun Ni was not by his side, Zheng Yong turned over in bed and got up. The pain in his shoulder had lessened considerably. He walked to the door and, upon seeing the long-awaited sunlight, felt somewhat unaccustomed to it; it was blinding.

The young lady smiled slightly and said, "Please don't take offense; my father has this temperament."

The surgery without anesthesia is truly unbearable in terms of pain. That "doctor," Zheng Yong, is unsure whether he is actually a doctor, works so slowly and methodically. Thinking about it, it makes sense; after all, it is not him who is in pain.

You have been hit by a 6.5 mm rifle bullet from the East, and fortunately, as long as it does not strike a vital area, its lethality is not significant. Otherwise, given these circumstances, no matter how capable I am, I would not be able to protect your arm.

Come, sit with me for a while, basking in the sun is also good for you

A cold, emotionless man's voice sounded
