1648 Huang Chong’s Tears of Gratitude
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and Huang Chong was finally out of danger. On the first day he woke up, Chi Shuyan prepared to go to the hospital ward to see him at noon after class.
At that moment, Huang Chong was crying bitterly and fearfully on the bed in the hospital ward as he cried to Wang Jinyang and the others about what happened to him. Tears and snot ran down his face, making him look especially miserable and wretched. When he spoke, his body trembled non-stop and his voice was hoarse from crying. He was obviously scared out of his wits.
By the time Huang Chong finished stuttering out how he had almost been cut into more than a dozen pieces by the excavator and his face was almost flattened, even Wang Jinyang and the others were so scared that their faces turned white and their legs shook and turned as soft as noodles.
The timid Wang Jinyang and Li Xiaoyan were already leaning against one another, but the braver ones didn’t look much better.
After Huang Chong said his piece, he immediately cried bitterly and wildly begged Yang Ji, “Yang Ji, Yang Ji, where’s Master Chi? I beg you, can you refer me to Master Chi? I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die!”
In fact, Huang Chong really wasn’t afraid of death; he was just afraid of dying in such a wretched way. At the thought of the construction site at noon a few days ago, Huang Chong still felt lingering fear and his hair stood on end. He thought that Yuan Yuan could save him, but Yuan Yuan hadn’t foretold anything before this incident.
Huang Chong didn’t dwell on it; at most, he thought that the other party wasn’t capable. Compared with Yang Ji, who was still standing in front of him unscathed, Huang Chong naturally trusted Master Chi more now.
Huang Chong’s cries were too loud and tragic. Yang Ji went forward to comfort him sympathetically. Wang Jinyang thought of something and suddenly said, “That’s not right, Huang Chong. Didn’t I give you a talisman from Master Chi before? Did you have it on you all the time?”
Huang Chong didn’t think much of it and immediately nodded, saying that he had it in his pocket. The others all looked at Wang Jinyang.
Wang Jinyang immediately checked the pockets of Huang Chong’s jacket. When Huang Chong was undergoing surgery, his jacket had been taken off and was still stained with a lot of blood. The nurse had said earlier that she would help throw it away, and Huang Chong hadn’t cared.
Wang Jinyang thought Huang Chong didn’t have Master Chi’s talisman on him. The others were also quite puzzled as they waited for Wang Jinyang to take out the talisman. Who would have thought that after searching both pockets of the jacket, all Wang Junyang found was charred ash in the second pocket? There was no talisman at all.
Wang Jinyang didn’t react at first and even complained, “Huang Chong, where’s the talisman I gave you? Didn’t you say you carry it with you? What is this?” Wang Jinyang really couldn’t tell what this black ash was, and was even more puzzled. “What the hell is this?”
Yang Ji and the others didn’t react, and immediately asked Huang Chong where the talisman which Wang Jinyang had given to him was.
Huang Chong was a bit stunned at first and couldn’t answer the question. He stared blankly at the charred ash in Wang Jinyang’s palm and was about to look away, when Huang Chong suddenly thought of something and his face stiffened. Then, he looked at Yang Ji like he was his final hope and cried as he begged frantically in a low voice, “Yang Ji, you must refer me to Master Chi. Yang Ji, you must help me with this. Wahhh… I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have not believed Master Chi. Really, Yang Ji, apart from Master Chi, no one can help me escape this calamity. I beg you, I beg you… Yang Ji!”
Huang Chong’s cries were even more miserable than earlier. Those who didn’t know better would think that his parents had died. In short, his cries were very loud. Even the nurse passing by outside the door couldn’t help but knock on the door and come in to remind them not to disturb the other patients.
But Huang Chong couldn’t stop crying at all.
Wang Jinyang and the others were all alarmed by Huang Chong’s wails. Those who didn’t know better would think that something big was going to happen to him again.
Yang Ji was also shocked and hurriedly agreed. He also said that Master Chi definitely wouldn’t ignore Huang Chong. She had even specially come to see him a few days ago when he was in the operating room.
With Yang Ji’s soothing, Huang Chong finally stopped crying. Only then did Wang Jinyang and the others learn from Yang Ji’s stuttered explanation that the charred ash in Wang Jinyang’s palm was from the talisman. As for why the talisman turned black, it was because it had saved him back then.
Back then, the excavator arm had come crashing down. Huang Chong pissed his pants on the spot, thinking that he would be smashed to pieces, especially when the edge of the bucket was about to hit his face. However, it suddenly stopped moving, as if it had been blocked by something.
At that time, Huang Chong was on the brink of death and couldn’t think too much. Now that he was alive and well, he recalled the details of his near-death experience.
The details didn’t add up and were very strange.
At that time, all he had on him was that talisman, and it had suddenly turned into charred ash. Huang Chong could only believe that the talisman had blocked a calamity for him.
Huang Chong was even more scared now. If Jinyang hadn’t kindly given him a talisman at that time, his body would definitely be cold by now after he died an incomparably tragic death. His body would probably have been broken into more than a dozen pieces, and he wouldn’t have been able to bear it. Thinking this, if it wasn’t for the fact that he was lying on the hospital bed and couldn’t move, Huang Chong would have immediately rushed to Wang Jinyang and hugged him fiercely.
Huang Chong thanked Wang Jinyang repeatedly with lingering fear and emotion. “Jinyang, you saved my life. If you hadn’t given me that talisman before, my body would be cold now. Jinyang, you and Master Chi are my saviors!”
