He jumped off the speed boat and tried to swim. He swan and swan. He did not remember the direction that he took. He was just swimming. However, after swimming for about 5 days, he was finally out of his energy.
He still tried floating but he could not do that after he drained his energy. He was slowly sinking into the sea. Then he lost his consciousness.
Once he regained consciousness, he realized that he was in the hospital. He thought the bad guys managed to catch and bring him back to the island.
He jumped off the bed and tried to rush out of the room. When he opened the door, he bumped into the doctor and nurse who was just about to enter the room.
"Sir, where do you want to go?" The doctor asked.
Xia Weizhe did not answer the question. He stepped aside to run away. The doctor noticed the strange behaviour of the patient.
"Sir, you need to rest." The doctor shouted chasing Xia Weizhe.
Of course, Xia Weizhe did not listen to the doctor. He wanted to leave this place. However, when he was outside, he was surprised to see the place. It was not the same as the island where he stayed for over 3 years.
The doctor and nurse managed to catch him up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sir." The doctor called Xia Weizhe in a soft tone. She did not want to startle Xia Weizhe.
"Where is this?" Xia Weizhe asked the doctor.
"It is Guanying City. You are in the Guanying General Hospital." The doctor stated.
"Guanying City?" Xia Weizhe was confused. "This is not the island?"
The Doctor and nurse looked at each other. People said this man was found by the seashore. They thought he had already died at that time. However, the people who found him noticed some movement, so they went to check on Xia Weizhe.
Xia Weizhe was still alive. They immediately called the ambulance and rushed Xia Weizhe to the hospital. Xia Weizhe was at the hospital for about 3 days before he woke up today.
"Sir, let's go to your room first. I will tell you everything that you need to know." The doctor said.
"A lot happens after that. I managed to escape the island. I stay out of the problem since I don't have them to find out anything about me. So, here I am become the storekeeper for this shop." Xia Weizhe said to Yu Qi.
"Island? Do you remember the island's name? Its location?" Yu Qi asked.
She felt the similarity of the story between Elder Mong and Xia Weizhe. It was the same pattern. The keyword was the island.
"I really don't know. I spent about 2 days on the speed boat and 5 days swimming before I lost consciousness. I don't know how long I spent in the sea before people found me." Xia Weizhe shook his head.
Yu Qi went silent. Indeed. It was true. Being in the sea for such a long time would disturb the sense of time. Not to mention, Xia Weizhe lost consciousness.
"Do you want to return to the cultivation world?" Yu Qi asked.
"Yes." Xia Weizhe nodded.
Even though he was already this old, he wanted to return to his hometown. Since a cultivator had a long timespan, his family might still be alive after all of this.
"Sure, I will help you. But I don't have time yet. I will tell you when I have time. Can I have your contact number?" Yu Qi asked.
"Sure." Xia Weizhe nodded.
They exchanged their contact information. Yu Qi excused herself after buying an antique vase. Xia Weizhe wanted to just give it to Yu Qi but she refused. In the end, Xia Weizhe gave a discount to Yu Qi.
Yu Qi planned to give the vase to Grandpa Tang. Yu Qi put away the vase first. She remembered there was something that she had forgotten to grab from her room at the hospital.
So, when she went to the hospital. After grabbing the thing that she forgot, she came across with the old man that she saved earlier.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Oh, we meet again, Young Girl." The old man smiled as he greeted Yu Qi.
Yu Qi smiled back to the old man. She glanced at the six bodyguards behind the old man. This old man must be someone.
"What is your heart, Sir?" Yu Qi asked.
"Because of your treatment earlier, I am fine. I just need to be careful controlling my emotions. Thank you, Young Girl." The old man smiled. "I want to thank you Young Girl. How about having dinner together?"
The man who was closer to the old man flinched. Yu Qi noticed it even though it happened in a split of second. It seemed the man did not want Yu Qi to get closer to this old man.
"It is okay, Sir. I am saving you is a part of my job." Yu Qi rejected it.
She did not have plan to get together with the old man.
"Your job?" The old man was surprised and confused at the same time.
"You are currently at my workplace. I am a doctor." Yu Qi said.
"You are?" The old man was surprised at first but when he remembered that the way she talked to the paramedic about his condition earlier. "Oh, you are a doctor here. Excellent." The old man praised Yu Qi.
The man looked at Yu Qi. It seemed he did not know Yu Qi.
