Count of Monte Cristo

Gunshots!

Lin Ke's heartbeat stopped...

The time is so long, every moment is a torment.

Until Lin Ke heard the noise!

It was the terrified cry of the robbers!

The scene is chaotic again!

Lin Ke opened his eyes, not knowing for a while whether he was in hell or not.Gunpowder smoke filled the surroundings, and there were screams and cries everywhere, which made him excited and frightened.

The leaves rustled, black mist filled the surroundings, overlapping huge black shadows, tearing through the night in despair, those screams were like the call of a devil in hell... In the darkness, the pain was very clear, every cell was telling Their pain and suffering, every breath is torture to themselves.

The moon hovered alone around the dark clouds.From a distance, everything in the woods looks like bloody faces, the skin of trees and soil is beginning to fester, and the air is filled with a suffocating smell.

He tried to move his head to see better, but the pain prevented him from moving or concentrating, and it all seemed like a dream.

He even saw Edmund's eyes, worried and frightened eyes... He wanted to grin and give Edmund a smile, telling him not to worry.But this movement was so difficult that he couldn't complete it even with all his strength.The darkness of the night is above his sight, but there are screams in his ears, and someone stepped on his body, and the pain reaches every cell...

He slowly closed his eyes again, is this punishment from hell?He thought in a trance, couldn't he go to heaven?

Until he was picked up with both hands, buried in a broad chest, and he heard a familiar voice, Lin Ke was still in a trance, his eyelids were heavy and unable to open, his consciousness gradually blurred...

Edmund saw Lin Ke in his arms. He had passed out. There was not a single intact part of his body, and there was even blood on his wrist.His right hand was even more twisted abnormally. There was a gunshot wound on his slender hand. Flesh and blood rolled out, and eerie bones could be vaguely seen.

Edmond's face was gloomy, and he quickly bandaged Lin Ke to stop the bleeding. His movements were steady, and he took every step with love.But looking carefully at Edmund's expression, he knew that his heart was not at peace at the moment.He was even angry, those anger flashed in his eyes.

Edmund held Lin Ke in his arms and watched the bandits fighting with the military police.It was only a matter of time before the gendarmes subdued these robbers.

So Edmond's eyes moved, and he was looking for Kukumetto.The situation was urgent just now, and he could only hit Kukumeto's hand holding the gun with one shot. When he wanted to make up the second shot, Kukumetto had already dodged.

Edmund galloped over and joined the battle hastily.Fortunately, the gendarmes were fast enough. They arrived almost at the same time as Edmond arrived. Seeing so many gendarmes, the robber subconsciously wanted to escape.So the two sides began to chase, the robbers were unprepared, and they were not the opponents of the gendarmes at all.

The robbers snorted. A few blood flowers exploded on their bodies, and they lost their breath. The robbers hiding behind the cover just wanted to escape. The soldiers had already rushed over, and the heads of the robbers burst out. Mo, the soul flies into the sky.

The robbers dodged left and right, and were still hit!Therefore, there is no suspense in this battle, and it ends with the victory of the justice side.The only regret is that Kukumetto escaped.

He escaped, and while Edmund was bandaging Lin Ke for examination and treatment, the bandit leader had escaped not once or twice, but he still escaped this time.

Lin Ke's situation was urgent, so Edmund didn't stop any longer. After thanking the captain of the gendarmerie, he carried Lin Ke into the carriage.The six horses galloped back to the hotel.Lin Ke must get medical treatment as soon as possible, and the carriage almost rushed to the hotel like a gust of wind.Edmund remained expressionless the whole time, but held Lin Ke in his arms very tightly.

Back at the hotel, Lin Ke received a comprehensive examination and treatment. He was in good condition at the beginning, but in the middle of the night, Lin Ke felt hot all over his body and his breathing was hot, and he started talking nonsense.Edmund poured a lot of potions on him, then cooled him with cold water, scrubbed his body, and cooled him down.He had a high fever, was in a daze, his lips were chapped, and his body was dehydrated, but he vomited whatever he drank.

Edmund had no choice but to give him a little bit of lip service, back and forth more than a dozen times, before Lin Ke drank half a glass of water.

This condition is very dangerous, with injuries and excessive blood loss, wound infection and infection by those robbers, typhoid and cold.Lin Ke was still talking nonsense. The psychological pressure of his first murder, the helplessness of his friends dying beside him, and the physical illness combined successfully destroyed Lin Ke's own immune system. He even had hallucinations .He returned to his own world, the carefree third year of high school where there were only books, and he saw himself racking his brains to recite political questions... All the damage hadn't happened yet.

Edmond was trying his best to endure it. It had been a long time since he left the Château d'If, he hadn't felt this kind of emotion. The hatred of wanting to roar, kill, and take revenge on everyone was intertwined with passive helplessness, which distorted his face. up.If someone saw his appearance at this time, they would definitely feel as if they saw Satan in hell, it was so terrifying and gloomy.

This kind of Aidemeng has a thick and indelible haze between his brows and eyes, and just one glance of the frightening power is enough.

He gently brushed away the wet hair printed on Lin Ke's eyebrows, and stroked his eyebrows little by little. Lin Ke murmured, but Edmund hated that he couldn't understand anything...he could only Moisten his lips as if comforting, indirectly feed Lin Ke some water, and calculate the time to give Lin Ke medicine.

It was also very difficult for Lin Ke to take the medicine. Edmond broke the medicine, and then passed it to Lin Ke while drinking water.

A day had passed, and Lin Ke was still in a coma with a persistent high fever.Edmund tried all means and invited the most famous doctor in Florence, but none of them could make Lin Ke's fever go down.Edmond's mouth was full of anxiety, and he hadn't eaten for two days.

The illness was so severe that a doctor even asserted that Lin Ke could not wait until the third day.Edmond sent all the doctors away, and continued to repeat the previous actions. He took care of Lin Ke all the time.

Finally, Wampa pried open the door of Lin Ke's room, and Edmund looked at him coldly.Vampa was a little uneasy, but he still handed something to Edmond nervously, "This is the medicine I stole from the baron's house. I heard that it was prescribed by the royal physician to His Majesty the Yellow Emperor. It is specially used to treat typhoid fever and fever. I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have left...I"

Edmund said, "You go out."

"This...potion, give Eisen a quick drink...I didn't mean to..." Wampa cried, with a lot of tears and nose, "He is my friend, I didn't expect things to turn out like this... I didn't expect it! Please, give him the medicine, please save him..." Vampa cried very sadly, his body convulsed.

"Get out!" Edmond said coldly, "Get out!"

Vampa went crazy, put the potion into Edmond's hand, and shouted in his mouth: "It's true, it can save Eisen! Please! I beg you!"

Edmund took the potion and pushed him out!

"I don't want to see you again until Eisen wakes up."

Vampa stared blankly at the closed door, and walked away in a daze.

Edmund took the potion and looked at the pale and lifeless Lin Ke.With a hesitant expression on his face, he raised his hand to throw the potion away, but then withdrew his hand and put down the potion.

Lin Ke groaned, and Edmond suddenly walked to the bed and pressed his temple heavily, as if he had made a decision.He tested the ingredients of the potion, then drank the potion himself, then kissed Lin Ke's bloodless lips, and put the potion in.

Lin Ke coughed again and spit out the medicine again.

Edmund looked at the remaining bottle of potion, pinched Lin Ke's mouth cruelly and began to pour it in. When Lin Ke was about to spit it out, he blocked it with his lips, and then used his tongue to pour the potion into Lin Ke's throat Edmund stopped this action until the potion entered Lin Ke's stomach and could no longer be spit out.The last bottle of potion was finally drunk by Lin Ke.

Edmund didn't dare to be careless, and kept observing Lin Ke's situation.

Another day passed, and Edmund touched Lin Ke's forehead, and finally the fever subsided.He breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to get up to get Lin Kezai to get a basin of hot water to scrub, but when he stood up, he almost fell, his hair was dizzy and black, and he realized that he hadn't eaten for three days.

Edmund opened the door, and the sunlight came in, dazzling but warm.

He narrowed his eyes, called the messenger to order brandy and bread for himself, after a while, asked the waiter to bring soup to Lin Ke, and carefully fed him some, this time Lin Ke didn't vomit.After drinking the soup, Edmond scrubbed Lin Ke's body, and then continued to stay in front of Lin Ke's bed.

In this way, on the fifth day, Lin Ke finally opened his eyes, and he had come back from the gate of hell.

Lin Ke's weak smile made Edmond feel like a treasure, and he finally let go of the burden in his heart, but Lin Ke only woke up for a while, and fell into a coma again.But this time Edmund was no longer afraid, Lin Ke would never wake up, he smelled his body, took a bath and had dinner.

When he came back, Lin Ke was still awake, and Edmond kissed his forehead, bridge of nose, lips, chin, fingers, piously, tenderly, with gratitude and caring care.

Finally he went to bed, lay down next to Lin Ke, and closed his eyes. He hadn't slept in four or five days.He fell asleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes.

It was already a week later when Lin Ke fully woke up.

After Lin Ke woke up, he completely figured out what happened that day.He had been targeted by the robbers a long time ago. When he went to find Vampa that day, the robbers sent someone to call Wampa away, saying that Teresa had been taken away by the robbers.Wampa was completely flustered, he hurriedly left the place agreed with Lin Ke, and followed that person.So Lin Ke was taken away by the robbers who were ambushing there.

Lin Ke also heard about Fabre and Lida. When Edmond rescued him, Fabre was out of breath. He tightly held the dead Lida's hand. The military police wanted to separate them but did not did not succeed.In the end they had to be buried together.

Edmund received the news that he had been captured by robbers, and it was from Vampa.He prepared the money, but he also went to the local court and explained the matter in detail. The prosecutor immediately paid attention to this matter and sent military police to encircle and suppress the bandit gang.

Now this gang of robbers has been caught and taken to prison. The only regret is that Kukumetto escaped.

The curtains of the room were drawn tightly, and the room was filled with candles.Now the people in the hotel had the flu too, many sick and sallow.

Influenza has caused large-scale deaths in history, and people in this period did not have a deep understanding and accurate medical knowledge about influenza.But they also have their own way of coping with the flu.In addition to bloodletting treatment, they also have ancient prescriptions handed down from ancient Greece and ancient Egypt, brewing some herbs to help people get healthy.

Edmund has also been very busy in recent days. He helped local doctors develop medicines. He used all the medical knowledge given to him by Father Faria. He also collected some local medical books and herbs for research. , to help people recover.

Edmund came back very late these days, but no matter how late, he always brought some very delicious food to Lin Ke, with a light taste, suitable for Lin Ke to eat.

Lin Ke's task is to rest and take care of his body.His wrist injury didn't heal, and he couldn't do some movements. Edmund forbade him to use his right hand, so Lin Ke had to exercise his left hand.He drinks bitter herbal medicine every day, then gets out of bed and does some simple rehabilitation exercises, and then reads some books on psychology and philosophy.

In fact, Lin Ke didn't feel much when he shot and killed Mi Tuosen, but after his body recovered in the past few days, he was under a lot of mental pressure, and he began to have nightmares.In the dream, there were large areas of bright red flowers, each of which was so huge that it could cover his whole body. The leaves of those flowers entangled his ankles, dragging him into the center of the flower, and then closed the petals tightly to smother him to death.Every time he woke up with a look of horror on his face.

At this time, Edmund would hug him, hug him tightly, pat his back, and then softly read passages from the Bible, making Lin Ke fall asleep again.Such a dream made Lin Ke's spirit unbearable. He began to read books on psychology and tried to treat himself with decompression.

He also inquired about Fabre's situation. It turned out that Fabreli joined the bandit gang for family reasons, and then followed Cucumetto to Florence.In Florence he met Leda and fell in love with her.He had already planned to break away from the gang of robbers in a while and stay with Lida in Florence for the rest of their lives.Unexpectedly, Lida was discovered by Mi Tuosen and brought back to their camp to ask for a ransom.Lida passed away, and after his father heard the news, he also went to meet God, right in front of Lida's tomb.After Lin Ke learned of the whole incident, he sighed for a long time, but he didn't expect his former friend to leave like this.

Edmund told him that the two were buried together in Mordaoga Cemetery, and that Lin Ke could visit them after he fully recovered.

During Lin Ke's recuperation period, Vampa came several times, but he didn't see Lin Ke. Edmund stopped him from the door, Lin Ke didn't know.

Lin Ke also had complaints against Wampa, but he knew that Wampa was not all to blame for being caught by the robbers, but he still felt very uncomfortable when he thought of how much he had suffered.So when Edmund told him about Vampa's confession afterwards, Lin Ke didn't say anything else.
