Lord of the Desert

Chapter 9 Sobbing
"The preparations for the simulation experiment are complete, and this time we will verify the temperature limits of the combustion chamber and turbine."

Hong Fan walked through the laboratory and listened to the urgent report from his deputy.

"Start the test run of the whole machine."

He calmly gave the order, walked quickly to the observation room and stood still.

Through several layers of protective glass, the new silver-white engine is fixed on the frame.

Everything is so familiar, so handy.

"Get ready to turn on, count down, three, two, one..."

Immediately, the rotation of the blades sounded, the frequency became higher and higher, and soon turned into a beep.

Hong Fan crossed his arms and silently waited for the result.

At this time, he heard a sharp noise behind him, disturbing his mind.

Anger gathered in the young senior engineer's heart.

Then, wake him up.

"Ok?"

The first thing that catches the eye is the top of the canopy bed with mottled paint.

Outside the window, there is the sound of the pearl-necked turtledove breaking a gong.

[China, Dahua? 】

[Wake up, or just fell into another dream that has not yet woken up? 】

Hong Fan was in a trance for a moment.

Following the birdsong, the remnants of the dream passed away on the cerebral cortex, like sand between fingers, and it will soon be difficult to catch up.

He rolled over and got out of bed, looked at the sun, and found that it was already noon.

He was delayed by Dragon Soul Tree and Sand World last night, he slept too late.

In the small courtyard, six bowls and basins of different sizes were placed on the stone table, with porcelain bowls upside down to keep them warm.

After Hong Fan finished washing, he called Aunt Liu a few times, but no one answered.

Obviously, she changed her lunch into her own bowl and went to the kitchen to return the food box.

Seeing that it was still early, he planned to practice boxing and kicking first, and wait for Aunt Liu to come back.

In fact, Hong Fan can be regarded as a warrior even if he does not count the inherited memory.
Before time travel, he was a fighter fan for many years. He had practiced Sanda and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

It's a pity that in his previous life, his physical talent was average. Facing high-level opponents, Hong Fan can only rely on his excellent sense of distance and fighting IQ.

But now it's different.

Feeling flustered, he stepped forward and punched, easily smashing a piece of wall on the courtyard wall, and the peak of his fist was only reddish.

This was followed by air strikes with various fist and leg combinations.

And then the continuous diving and hugging.

Accelerate, slide, dive, get up...

Under Hong Fan's smooth rehearsal, a set of movements was so fast that it almost seemed to be flying close to the ground.

After training at such an intensity for 10 minutes, Hong Fan suddenly felt discomfort in his dantian.

This is a sign of exhaustion.

[I didn't expect the warrior's stamina to be so poor. 】

He frowned and thought.

[Or is it just the inner vision? 】

However, although the energy is exhausted, you can still do some technical training.

Taking off his clothes, Hong Fan wore only shorts barefoot, and began to repeatedly practice forward and backward rolls, shrimp walks, shoulder rolls, riding slides and other technical movements on the rammed earth.

After half an hour like this, he was finally satisfied.

Wash the body with cold water and put on clean new clothes. While feeling refreshed, hunger suddenly climbed up.

A body that was at the level of a top athlete in the previous life must consume astonishingly.

Seeing that Aunt Liu hadn't come back, Hong Fan sat down at the stone table and planned to eat first.

There is no need for extra politeness between him and Aunt Liu.

As expected yesterday, the lunch really met the standard.

In addition to a large bowl of rice, there are four dishes and one soup, two vegetables and two meats.

Open the upside-down porcelain bowl, it's all steaming hot.

Hong Fan chewed heavily and quickly consumed most of the food.

At this time, he heard staggering footsteps outside the door.

With a creak, the courtyard door was pushed open, and it was Aunt Liu who came in with her head bowed.

"Master, are you up?"

She closed the courtyard door, saw Hong Fan at the stone table, and asked with a smile.

But the latter did not reply immediately.

"Auntie, what's the matter?"

Hong Fan stood up and asked.

From his observation of words and demeanor, he can naturally see the reluctance of Aunt Liu's smile.

"It's okay, master..."

Aunt Liu still wanted to cover up, but Hong Fan rushed to her in a few steps.

He glanced over, and immediately found that there were bloodstains on the other party's wet trousers, which had not been completely washed away, and holes that were not conspicuous due to smoothing.

"You are hurt?"

Hong Fan squatted down and rolled up his trouser legs for Aunt Liu, and two rows of deep teeth marks were visible.

The blood barely stopped, but the wound was still exposed.

"Master, I was not careful; a little thing, it doesn't get in the way!"

Aunt Liu took a step back, put down her trouser legs, and explained repeatedly.

But her young master's serious expression stopped her from speaking.

"After my mother left, it was my aunt who pulled me up."

Hong Fan stood up and spoke solemnly.

"My aunt is to me, there is no room for loss!"

There were only eight words, but Aunt Liu was stunned, unable to speak.

"Auntie, don't move."

As Hong Fan said, he turned around and carried the short and thin Aunt Liu on his back easily, and then put him down beside the stone table.

"The wound must be treated first. I'll boil water."

He said in an unquestionable tone, turned around and strode away.

At this time, the eyes of Aunt Liu who was sitting on the stone bench were already red.

First, he boiled hot water in the side room, and then took the bed curtain and tore off a strip.

Wash the wound carefully and wrap it with boiled cloth.

Finally, he fetched a towel and asked Aunt Liu to scald her face with hot water.

Only then did Hong Fan ask the question for the second time.

"Auntie, what happened?"

But how could Aunt Liu speak?

She just shook her head uncontrollably, looked at the young master's face carefully, and then she laughed and shed tears.

Ten years since Hong Fan's mother passed away, it was the first time that the owner's servant lost his composure.

She sobbed heart-piercingly, mumbled words such as "Bodhisattva" and "Madame" in her mouth, and let the tears fall on the dust.

Hong Fan just patted her on the back and waited patiently.

After a long while, Aunt Liu gradually calmed down and confessed everything.

Facing such a young master, she really didn't feel the need to hide anything.

"My aunt was bitten by Jiang Youcai, the youngest son of the Jiang family's wife."

Hong Fan nodded slowly.

He knew the two dogs.

The two big wolf greens, each weighing over a hundred catties, are the favorites of the young master Hong Ping, the son of the eldest son.

He also knew Jiang Youcai.

This person has always been Hong Ping's regular follower, and now he is responsible for raising the latter's dog.

"Master, those two dogs were trained to behave well by Jiang Youcai, so my injury is definitely fine."

Seeing Hong Fan's serious expression, Aunt Liu couldn't help but speak again.

Her phrase "it's all right" refers to rabies.

"The young master has lost face to Mrs. Jiang's family. His family's boy let the dog bite me, so it's even."

"And from now on, no one will skip meals, and the young master will not be afraid of losing money in martial arts..."

She looked at the half-eaten food on the table, her words were full of joy, and she completely forgot about the bite wound on her leg.

"Auntie has been recovering from her injuries these few days, so I can save all of this."

Hong Fan nodded and replied without expressing his opinion.

He has only traveled for more than ten days. Although he liked to fight in his previous life, he always obeyed the law.

He can't do the kind of "dragon has reverse scales, you will die if you touch it" and "kill people recklessly regardless of the consequences".

If the wolf green had bitten Hong Fan's leg today, he could have endured it temporarily if necessary.

But since the other party was targeting Aunt Liu, he had to repay.
