Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: No More Chances

But there were just two ordinary guards, and he wanted to knock them out easily.

Xu Qinglang: "..."

He wanted to remind Tang Jun that he couldn’t see, but looking at Tang Jun’s resolute face, he ultimately didn’t say it. He couldn’t beat others, but Tang Jun...

Suddenly, he felt a bit regretful. Why did he become a medical student? He always thought of himself as excellent and could handle anything with ease, but now, Xu Qinglang felt that it’s quite necessary to have some good combat skills.

"Are we leaving now?"

"..."

"Shouldn’t we act now?"

"..."

"If we don’t leave, they’ll hit us here."

Xu Qinglang looked anxiously at Tang Jun, who hadn’t moved. The noise outside was getting louder and closer. They had heard several groups pass in front of the house.

Inside the house, although it provided some cover, the urgent and pressing atmosphere constantly worried Xu Qinglang. It was as if a sharp blade was hanging above his head, making him anxious and uneasy.

"Wait a little longer." Tang Jun sat there calmly, not at all uneasy, with his eyes closed as if he were meditating.

His serene composure made Xu Qinglang feel like the emperor was calm while the eunuch was anxious.

He paced back and forth in the room, occasionally glancing at Tang Jun.

"Stop walking around."

Yuan Yu was annoyed by Xu Qinglang’s pacing; she was seriously studying the possibility of using ginseng to treat Tang Jun’s eyes.

If it could be applied to the bruise, could it promote blood circulation and disperse the bruise?

Yuan Yu’s thoughts went wild, and with Tang Jun by her side, she felt safe no matter where they were. Even if it was chaotic outside, Yuan Yu wasn’t worried at all, as if anywhere with Tang Jun was safe.

If the sky falls, Tang Jun will hold it up for her.

"I, I’m worried."

Xu Qinglang couldn’t remain as calm as Yuan Yu.

Outside, things were getting more chaotic. Just when Xu Qinglang thought Tang Jun might sit there forever, Tang Jun suddenly stood up and said, "Xiao Yu, let’s go."

Tang Jun pulled Yuan Yu and headed out.

When Xu Qinglang reacted, they were already at the door. Tang Jun lifted his foot and kicked the wooden board open.

How strong was that kick?

Xu Qinglang was stunned for a moment and then quickly followed.

"Wait for me."

Xu Qinglang glanced at the two people on the ground. He had never been so shocked. It was extremely chaotic outside, with flames and thick smoke, looking extraordinarily frightening.

Xu Qinglang had seen many injured people growing up with his grandfather, but he had never encountered such a situation.

Feeling weak in the knees, Xu Qinglang had no choice but to run as Tang Jun led Yuan Yu further in.

Along the way, they encountered quite a few people. Tang Jun would fight those he could, and for those he couldn’t, he used the stones in his hand. However, he never aimed for the vital areas, preventing them from attacking him while sparing their lives.

Yuan Yu watched Tang Jun’s swift actions in shock, wanting to say something, but the situation didn’t allow her to, so she kept it all in her heart.

As they ran further inside, they couldn’t see anyone. Yuan Yu curiously asked, "Huh, where did they go?"

"They all left." Tang Jun replied, leading Yuan Yu and Xu Qinglang up a hill, where he handed each of them a knife.

Xu Qinglang, trembling, said, "I don’t know how to use this."

"What’s so difficult about it?" Tang Jun kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings. With so few people, leaving safely wouldn’t be easy.

"It’s okay, I’m not hurt." As Tang Jun finished speaking, Yuan Yu was already quietly bandaging the wound on his arm.

Tang Jun glanced at it and suddenly felt someone aiming from the rear left. He swiftly pulled Yuan Yu down to the side.

"Watch out." Xu Qinglang didn’t know how, but he noticed someone targeting Yuan Yu. Without thinking, he dashed over. Unfortunately, by the time he got there, Yuan Yu had already been pulled aside by Tang Jun.

"Ah..."

Xu Qinglang took an arrow to the abdomen, and simultaneously, Tang Jun flicked a stone, causing the person to fall.

...

Dafu County, hospital.

"Will he be okay?"

Yuan Yu was filled with guilt along the way, thinking that Xu Qinglang got hurt because of saving her.

Tang Jun said, "The injury is in the abdomen. As long as the arrow is removed, he’ll be fine."

He wasn’t good at comforting people, but seeing Yuan Yu’s guilty expression, he felt sorry for her, though he didn’t know what to say.

Xu Qinglang’s intent to save someone was not wrong.

From Tang Jun’s perspective, he could protect Yuan Yu, but Xu Qinglang would still worry about her.

So, under those circumstances, Xu Qinglang rushed towards Yuan Yu to block a bullet that didn’t need to be blocked.

"Yes, everything will be fine." Yuan Yu, flustered by the earlier situation, became intertwined despite being a surgeon.

Upon confirming that Xu Qinglang was not in danger, Yuan Yu felt slightly relieved and sat outside, anxiously waiting for Xu Qinglang to come out.

Suddenly, Yuan Yu locked eyes with Tang Jun and asked, "When did your eyes get better?"

"When I rolled down the slope."

Tang Jun replied, thinking he should thank Ni Yan, or else his eyes might not have recovered.

"Then why didn’t you say something?" Yuan Yu, after thinking carefully, realized that since it was night, she hadn’t noticed. But now she thought back, and on the way back, Tang Jun indeed hadn’t tripped once. Also, he didn’t seem blind just now.

Tang Jun pursed his lips, saying nothing. Firstly, there wasn’t a good opportunity, and secondly, in that situation, if he mentioned his eyes had recovered, how would they find an excuse to leave today?

"Congratulations. If Sister Xiao Yue knew you regained your vision, she’d be thrilled." Yuan Yu sincerely looked at Tang Jun, genuinely happy for him. Staring into Tang Jun’s eyes, she could tell they had regained their light, no longer as dim as before.

"Yes, Xiao Yu, there’s something I want to tell you."

As Tang Jun began to speak, Yuan Yu cut him off, saying, "Whatever it is, let’s wait until Qinglang recovers."

Qinglang?

Tang Jun wanted to ask, but Yuan Yu, with her eyes closed and leaning against the wall, appeared exhausted, and he didn’t have the heart to press further.

The surgery was completed quickly, though Xu Qinglang remained unconscious while Yuan Yu tended to him carefully.

Once assured of Xu Qinglang’s safety, Yuan Yu started caring for other injured patients. Although the hospital had plenty of doctors and nurses, the number of injured was overwhelming. With Yuan Yu there, she could assist a bit more.
