The afternoon sun was warm and bright, and a barren hill stretched toward the sky as if it would never come to an end.
A batteryoperated vehicle traveled slowly through the canyon surrounded by mountains, bumping along the potholed mountain roads.
Originally, with the superb crosscountry performance of the Tendo's battery car, even traveling next door to the wilderness without a road could reach a speed of seventy to eighty yards, but Ning Tao had to consider the feelings of the passengers, especially Comrade Jiang Hao's. This half day of riding over, Jiang Hao do not know pinch him a few times ......
A defile appeared at the end of the line of sight.
On one side of the pass was a cliff, and below it was a river, but only the bed of the river was visible but not the flow of water. On top of the cliff was a mountain road, which was rugged and winding, with no end in sight. On one side of the mountain road was a cliff like a knife and axe, and a piece of overha
Asad brought Ning Tao, Kang Junzi and Zaina into his home, which was a simple shack. Jiang Hao didn't go in, so he stood at the door, acting as a guard or bodyguard.In the hut, Zaina translated what Asadin had just finished saying, "Chief Asadin said he would send us two tribal warriors as guards to protect us."Ninto said, "Please convey my thanks, but no, we can protect ourselves."After Zaina relayed Ning Tao's words to Asadin, Asadin spread his hands and muttered something.Zaina said, "Chief Asadin said that it's very chaotic here, and that when their survival is threatened, even people who are normally very kind will do some crazy things. You guys don't know them, and you'll be easy targets for some people with ulterior motives, so it's better to ask Mr. Ning to reconsider."Ning Tao said "Mrs. Kang, please tell the chief that my wife and I are very powerful warriors and ask him not to worry about us. Then you can ask him what they need, and your
The tent was quiet, there were a few medicine cabinets, but just a scattering of medicines and medical paraphernalia, stethoscopes, blood pressure monitors and whatnot, it looked empty. A laptop sat on a desk, though the screen was off. Without the use of the Vigorous Holding Talisman, in the YuanYing state Ning Tao couldn't even pick up a needle, let alone uncover the laptop's screen to operate it.In the corner of the tent there was a traveling bed, and under the bed there was an alloy code box. Ning Tao's line of sight fell on the combination lock of that combination box, and he saw that the lock was coated with some kind of chemical adhesive, a very thin layer that was hard to see with the naked eye.There is no silver in this place.Ning Tao's mind moved, and the YuanYing plunged headlong into that password box. There was no light, but this didn't affect the Heavenly Eyes of the YuanYing at all.Hidden in the code box was a manportable radio, and several
Boom!After a short period of darkness, the light cascaded down, and in front of him was still the Drinking Horse Valley, but the time and space was no longer the present time and space. Waterfalls from the side of the cliffs down, in a hundred meters below the water pool smack of waves. However, the waterfall was static, those waves were static, and all the scenery in front of them was static.In Ning Tao's vision, there were countless Persian soldiers standing in the canyon, riding horses and camels, carrying curved swords, shields and spears, while some were carrying bows and quivers filled with arrows. This was a Persian army that didn't know what historical period it existed in, they crowded this narrow valley, but it didn't look like they had come here to simply drink water from their horses.What are so many Persian soldiers doing here?Ning Tao's sight searched through the army, looking for clues. But what he was looking for, even he didn't know.
As night fell, Shan City was enveloped in a vast darkness. The stars in the sky looked as small and dense as dust, and the light among the lofty mountains shone like rainbows. It was a prosperous scene of flourishing age. In Shan City Medical University. At 18 sharp, Ning Tao discreetly tucked an acceptance letter into his pants pocket and walked out of the entrance guard room. With his back to the magnificent classroom building and facing the street in front of the gate, he stood upright on the duty platform for guards. This was the last time he took over other's shift. "Mom, dad, your son didn't disappoint you. I will go to the Affiliated Hospital of Shan City Medical University tomorrow and start my internship. Are you happy for me?" Ning Tao murmured in his heart as he looked up at the vast sky, as if he had seen the faces of his father and mother who had died in a car accident four years ago. At this time, a
After some time, Ning Tao slowly opened his eyes. He struggled to his feet and looked at his right wrist. The wound from the black dog had scarred over, but he still felt a dull ache in it. "That damn mad dog!" Ning Tao got angry at the thought of the black dog. Boom! There was a sudden jolt in Ning Tao's mind, like a door was opened and something was flooding into his head! It was smell, all kinds of smell. He smelled the blood, the disinfectant, the dust, the plastic, the iron, the synthetic fiber, even his own smell... There was no telling how many smells came into his nose and his brain processed them into corresponding messages, some clear, some vague, some familiar, some strange which he had never sensed. "I..." Ning Tao stood stupefied. Momentarily, he remembered the black dog and the knowledge of dogs. Dogs were capable of smelling two million differe
Several hours later, Ning Tao was slowly back to full consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he saw the dense tree canopy and the golden sunlight pouring down from the branches and leaves. Ning Tao rolled out of the ground and looked around. There was no old house or Chen Pingdao around. He was standing on a hillside with trees, thorns and weeds all round but without even a path! However, the medical book and the transfer contract that Chen Pingdao gave him were still in his hands, and they were real, not an illusion. "Oh!" Ning Tao suddenly remembered something. "Chen Pingdao smells exactly like that black dog, and he said he had given me a bit of cultivation. He's the black dog! Have... have I really run into a ghost?" After pausing for a short while, Ning Tao opened the medical book to read it. The content of the medical book was quite concise, with only four chapters, namely, looking, smelling, elixirs and acupuncture. The
Ning Tao strode under the archway of Garden Street and into the quiet street. The street were paved with blue flagstones, marked with the traces of people, mules and horses. Each piece exuded the weight of history. The Sky Clinic was at the end of Garden Street. It was a low, blue-tiled house, with moss and ivy covering its stone walls, making it cannot be greener. It had no facade, only a wooden door set in the stone wall, and the paint on the door had almost come off. If it hadn't been for the signboard which read "The Sky Clinic" on the lintel, Ning Tao would probably have thought he was in front of a poor mountaineer's house. "Is this a clinic?" Ning Tao wondered helplessly. Glancing back at the street where he'd come from, Ning Tao found it empty. In terms of appearance and location, the clinic was doomed to fail even if it had not opened yet. "Well, since I'm here, I'd better go in and have a look." Ning Tao
It took Ning Tao most of the day to tidy up the Sky Clinic. The jumble of bottles and cans were all arranged in good order. The blood graffiti written by Chen Pingdao on the right wall was also cleaned without leaving a trace. During the cleaning process, Ning Tao had attempted to open the doors on the walls on both sides, but he failed. The clinic's ledger gave him a hint that it took 5,000 points of the merits of good intention and sins of evil intention to open a door. In total, opening two doors would cost 10,000 points, which was more than four years' rent for the clinic. Ning Tao came to the conclusion that this was not the Sky Clinic at all, but a baleful clinic! "No wonder Chen Pingdao has never entered the two stores. How could he have enough good and bad values to open the two doors when the clinic is close to bankruptcy under his management?" Ning Tao thought with a sigh. After cleaning up, Ning Tao started to study the stuff in t
