Chapter 81
At night, a small leader of the competition party and a girl came to the hotel to express their deep gratitude to Chen Xiong.

It was one of the runners he had brought back from the hillside, and the other female runner was still in the hospital, so she could only entrust her companions to express her gratitude.

"I didn't even remember how I walked back or how I fell down. The two of us completely lost the memory of that time. If you didn't wake us up, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get down."

The girl's grateful expression was full of fear. It was not her first time participating in a marathon or cross-country running, but it was really the first time she had suffered such severe hypothermia, and now she was close to death at such a close distance.

At this time, the number of victims has risen to 8, and more than a dozen people have lost contact and there is no news.

"Mr. Chen Xiong, thank you for your precious helping hand during the competition. We would like to conduct an exclusive interview with you. Is it convenient for you?"

The leaders of the event were very polite. As a mountain marathon champion, Chen Xiong was quickly recognized by the volunteers and cross-country runners at the CP2 supply point after the race.

"Interview? No need."

Chen Xiong resolutely refused, he didn't like such fancy things.

He also has a bad feeling about the tournament organizers.

"This"

This person seemed to see the resistance on Chen Xiong's face, and did not force it. He said politely: "Okay, congratulations again to Mr. Chen Xiong for winning the mountain marathon. We will pay the bonus to your account as soon as possible. However, relevant personnel may come to you in the future to understand the emergency situation at that time and conduct corresponding investigations. I hope you can cooperate. Sorry for bothering you."

"OK, all right."

Chen Xiong felt a little strange, but he still agreed.

After returning to the room, Chen Xiong practiced the Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu several times. In this hotel environment, he could only practice the Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu to pass the time.

After practicing the Eight Parts Vajra Kung Fu several times, Chen Xiong took a few sips of warm wolfberry tea, but found that there was a text message from the bank on his mobile phone. When he clicked on it, he was a little surprised by the content.

"You will transfer 9887 yuan of Xialong coins to the card with the ending number of 30000."

"This is the prize money of the event? But the amount is not right?"

No tax was deducted, and it seemed that a little more was paid.

Chen Xiong frowned and thought for a while, then went to the next door to ask Li Sanjiang.

After listening to Chen Xiong's words, Li Sanjiang was also a little strange. After hearing what Chen Xiong had said, he thought for a while and then said in a low voice: "I guess the race party and organizer are in big trouble. You are a mountain marathon runner. The champion, who saved someone in the middle of the game, his strength and image are all leveraged, they probably want you to say something nice for them, at least not to tear things down."

"What do you mean?"

"Yes, this money should be based on the bonus and then the hush money. Maybe it will make you a spokesperson for the game."

Li Sanke rubbed his chin and felt that his guess was indistinguishable: "The situation should probably be like this. There will definitely be follow-up investigations for this kind of competition accident. You are also one of the parties involved, and you will definitely be asked about it." to find out what happened at that time.”

Chen Xiong also probably understood. It is estimated that the competition party wants to set itself up as a positive example, at least to give this competition a bright spot and cover it up.

When the time comes to push myself forward, can I really say something about the tournament side not being active in the rescue?
I'm afraid I can only say a few words. Extreme weather comes too quickly and too urgently, and runners can't react.

Chen Xiong was silent for a while, and suddenly his expression was a little strange: "Lao Li, how about we go back tonight?"

"what?"

"Ah, what? The bonus has been paid out. Do you want to stay here and wait for someone to treat you to tea? Let's go. I'll leave tonight. I'm not the responsible person. Nothing will happen if I run away. If you don't leave, I'll be on my own. Let’s go.”

Chen Xiong's eyes flickered, indicating that he was going to carry the bucket and run away overnight.

Li Sanjiang thought about it. They were athletes from Ehu Province. There was no need to say what they had to do, let alone support the event.

"Okay, pack your things, we still have a car, let's go directly to Tongcheng, and then return to Jiangcheng tomorrow morning."

Li Sanjiang informed the team members, and several people packed up their things, directly chartered a car and left Jingtai County, and arrived in Tongcheng in more than an hour.

The convenient hotels in Tongcheng are not so expensive. Even if they are near the high-speed rail station, they only cost more than 200 per night. Chen Xiong thought about it and booked four rooms at his own expense, so that the younger brothers in the team would not have to pay for an extra day rent.

The next day, the first high-speed train set off directly for 6 people.

"The matter is serious, let alone scenic spots and Jingtai County, Tongcheng is probably responsible."

Li Sanjiang breathed a sigh of relief: "We searched and rescued the last missing runner last night. The number of victims has not yet been revealed, but according to the statistics in the group, there may be as many as 1/10 of the participants."

Chen Xiong and several team members were stunned.

Life is too fragile.

All the way without talking, Chen Xiong took out the acupuncture silver needles and practiced the needling technique on the cowhide mold to pass the time.

Acupuncture is somewhat similar to practicing boxing. If you don't practice for a period of time, your hands will become sluggish. If you use your hands for a long time, the needle will not be stable and accurate enough.

"Actually, the acupuncture needles used today are made of stainless steel. Although they are tougher and easier to insert, they are also harder and more prone to pain."

"The ancient gold and silver needles are made of softer materials. Although it is not easy to insert the needle, it will also cause less pain. However, if the patient is agitated, the needle body is more likely to deform or break in the body."

[You have practiced the flying needle technique, and you seem to have some understanding of acupuncture and massage]

[Ancient Chinese massage experience +3]

Skill: Ancient Chinese Medicine Massage Lv3 (48% for entering the room)

It is difficult to gain experience simply by practicing with acupuncture needles.

"Why don't you try getting some silver needles? Silver is cheaper, and you don't feel bad if you lose it. Gold needles are not good, old noses are expensive."

Chen Xiong thought about it, and felt that he could upgrade his acupuncture equipment.

On the way, Chen Xiong and Li Sanjiang also received more than 20 calls, but they were all from unknown numbers. They belonged to Tongcheng. They just glanced at them and sensiblely pulled these numbers into the ranks of phone scams.

Do not answer, do not know the number, even if killed.

In the evening, at 6 o'clock, they finally arrived at Jiangcheng Qingshan high-speed railway station.

"I'm finally back. This game has really been a bit bumpy."

Li Sanjiang brought a few team members to go back to the provincial team, but Chen Xiong suddenly called to him: "Old Li, I want to take a break during this time, so I might not go to the team."

"Uh, okay, you can take a rest."

Li Sanjiang could also feel that Chen Xiong didn't seem to be very interested after participating in the mountain running competition. Even the bonus didn't make him any happier, so he ran back overnight.

As for the team's training, to be honest, Li Sanjiang really didn't think there was anything he could train, so let Chen Xiong do it himself.

"Pay attention to your weight and show your athlete's qualities."

After exhorting, Li Sanjiang left first.

After taking a taxi, Chen Xiong returned to the small courtyard of the bungalow he rented.

Even though the rented house was a little crude, it inexplicably gave him a sense of peace, which was much more comfortable than running around outside.

The yard is still the same.

Boxing targets, barbells, standing red bricks.

The only difference is that the osmanthus tree in the corner is blooming, and it smells a delicate fragrance, but it is quite faint.

This should be an early osmanthus, and it is just autumn, and the weather is still very hot.

Chen Xiong simply cleaned the yard, practiced two sets of snatch warm-ups, and then tried a boxing target. It felt that the hanging sandbag was more comfortable.

"Hey, the human body is still too fragile."

Chen Xiong hit the boxing target a few times and felt a little sad.

Not only did I feel sorry for the runners who died in the extreme weather, but I also discovered my own physical shortcomings.

Even though his physical value is rounded up to twice that of an ordinary person, his defense is actually no different from that of an ordinary person.

High winds, freezing rain, hail, and gravel can all injure him.

Taijiquan and Babu Vajra Kungfu seemed to increase his real blood, but did not increase his defense.

Anyone who has played the game knows that the cost-effectiveness of simply stacking blood or armor is not high, and you still have to grab with both hands and be hard with both hands.

Looking at the firm but delicate skin on his body, Chen Xiong felt that he might have to find some foreign skills to practice, to strengthen his own defense, and to feel a little more secure when encountering emergencies.
