Lin Feng was extremely depressed.
He had intended to burn incense and worship Buddha, taking the opportunity to clear his mind, but an old man had scammed him of all the money he had on him. Fortunately, he still had his bus card, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to return home.
At that moment, Lin Feng was sitting on the bus descending the mountain. Including the driver, there were only three people on the bus. In the last row of seats, there sat a woman who appeared to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old. Lin Feng felt she looked familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen her before.
The bus slowly traveled down the winding mountain road, and because the rain was heavy and the road was mountainous, the driver did not dare to drive fast.
In this manner, the bus leisurely made its way downhill as Lin Feng absentmindedly gazed out the window.
Suddenly, the driver slammed on the brakes, and the bus came to a stop.
Lin Feng didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just a traffic jam due to the rainy weather, and that it would move soon.
However, after more than ten minutes, the bus showed no sign of moving. Lin Feng couldn't help but stand up and look outside through the windshield.
This glance took him by surprise!
He saw that across the mountain road lay a bus, and beside it, an orange Mercedes, its hood smashed and thrown aside, its windshield shattered into pieces. Due to the heavy rain, he couldn't tell if there was anyone injured inside the Mercedes.
The mountain road was already narrow, and with the vehicles blocking the road, cars could neither descend the mountain nor ascend.
Seeing Lin Feng standing at the front looking out, the driver couldn't help but speak, "This section of the road sees several accidents a year, a few people die each time! It looks like this time might be another rough one!"
"Why hasn't the city put up a warning sign here?" asked Lin Feng, puzzled. If accidents occurred annually, it would make sense to take it seriously.
"Ah, who says there isn't a warning sign? Look over there, isn't that a warning sign? But strangely enough, whenever there is an accident, both drivers claim they didn't see the sign, though it's visible to everyone driving by any other time," the driver said, somewhat baffled.
Following the direction the driver was pointing, Lin Feng indeed saw a warning sign.
"Why hasn't the ambulance arrived yet? It has been about ten minutes since we stopped here," Lin Feng estimated.
"How could the ambulance get here? Look at how many cars are jammed below. The traffic police need to clear the vehicles below first; by then, the injured might already be dead!" The driver, having encountered many accidents, spoke from experience.
"Driver, open the door!" Lin Feng said, already standing at the door.
"Young man, what are you going to do out there? It's just an accident. What's there to see? Besides, it's still raining outside!" the driver said kindly.
"I need to go and save people," Lin Feng said firmly.
The driver was startled, then opened the door, a peculiar expression crossing his face!
"Young man, here's an umbrella. Take it!" The driver suddenly fetched an umbrella from the side and tossed it to Lin Feng.
"Thank you!" Lin Feng glanced at the driver, took the umbrella, and strode towards the site of the accident.
By now, around a dozen people had gathered. The door of the bus was already open and it was empty, suggesting no one was injured, but inside the orange Mercedes, two people were motionless!
Yet none of the onlookers had attempted to pull the two individuals out of the Mercedes.
Lin Feng, a doctor, said nothing. Society was indifferent, such was human nature; he bore no resentment toward anyone. In such circumstances, he knew he must save lives at the earliest!
Ignoring the peculiar looks from those around him, Lin Feng opened the car door and carefully assessed the situation inside.
The driver was a man with a bleeding head wound, and beside him, a young woman lay motionless on the dashboard.
"Please, save her," the man saw Lin Feng, opened his eyes, and said weakly.
"Don't worry, I'm a doctor!" At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly felt that his profession was truly great and something to be proud of!
"Thank you." The man, upon hearing Lin Feng declare himself a doctor, showed a hint of a smile before looking worriedly at the woman beside him.
"Fei Fei, you must hang in there." The man whispered softly, and after he spoke these words, he could no longer hold on and passed out.
Lin Feng's brows furrowed tightly as he gently turned over the woman lying on top of the car, only to see her eyes tightly shut, her complexion pale, her pulse weak and rapid, her breathing shallow and quick, and her hands ice-cold.
"This is bad! These are clear symptoms of shock! It looks like the woman has a belly injury, with internal bleeding!" Lin Feng immediately deduced.
"Quick, make a call and ask how long the ambulance will take to get here? This woman has internal organ bleeding, she needs surgery as soon as possible, or else there could be life-threatening dangers!" Lin Feng leaned out and shouted to the onlookers outside!
"They just asked a while ago, said it's going to take about twenty minutes!" someone immediately responded.
"Twenty minutes?" Lin Feng started, "Twenty minutes is too long, I'm afraid this woman won't survive that long! What should we do?"
Just as Lin Feng was in utter distress, feeling helpless, suddenly a voice rang inside his mind, "Kiddo, what's the hurry? It's just some internal bleeding. I'll teach you what to do!"
"Who is talking?" Lin Feng, startled, blurted out.
But the people outside paid no attention to Lin Feng's words, and none of them spoke to him either.
"Stop looking! I'm right here!" As soon as the voice finished, Lin Feng felt a figure flicker before him and a person appeared out of thin air!
"Why is it you?" Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the man as the old man who had deceived him out of five hundred and twenty dollars back in Talin!
Suddenly, Lin Feng's expression changed drastically!
This old man had just appeared out of nowhere in the back seat of the car! How did he manage that? Could it be that this old man wasn't human?
"What on earth are you?" Lin Feng had already concluded that this old man wasn't human, so he directly voiced his suspicion, and at the same time, he tried to get out of the car, only to suddenly find that he couldn't move at all!
"Haha, kiddo, don't be nervous! I'm no 'thing,' ahem! 'What is not a thing' indeed! You can call me Qi Luyi, and you don't need to be scared, I'm not a ghost."
"Help!" Lin Feng, not believing that a person who appeared out of nowhere could be anything but a ghostly apparition, promptly began shouting loudly, but it seemed like the onlookers outside couldn't hear him at all, their gaze fixed on the car, yet they seemed completely unaware of Qi Luyi.
"Kid, stop shouting, they can't see me, nor can they hear our conversation!" Qi Luyi said cheerfully, but his smile appeared somewhat sinister to Lin Feng.
"Who exactly are you?" At this point, Lin Feng steadied his spirit and bravely asked.
"Heh heh, didn't you go to pray for an easier job? I'm here to fulfill your wish!" Qi Luyi said, "But now's not the time for idle talk, if we delay any longer, this young lady will be done for! I have a way to save her, but it requires your action, the question is, do you dare?"
"You can save her? What a joke! She has injuries to her internal organs, there's bleeding in her abdomen, she needs emergency surgery, do you know how to perform surgery?" Lin Feng could hardly trust this old swindler.
"Cut the crap, just tell me, do you want to save her or not? If you want to save her, I have a method, but if you don't want to, then forget it!" Qi Luyi said unruffled.
"Can I trust this old swindler?" Lin Feng asked himself, but seeing the woman's tightly closed eyes and pale face, Lin Feng knew that without intervention, this woman might not survive much longer.
"Fine! I'll trust this old swindler one more time!" Lin Feng blurted out!
"What the heck! What old swindler? I am a genuine Divine Doctor!" Qi Luyi protested dissatisfied.
"What do I need to do?" Lin Feng, not having time to argue with Qi Luyi, immediately asked.
"You brat, just wait and I'll deal with you later!" Qi Luyi continued, "Now, take off the lady's clothes!"
