Don't Call Me Eagle
"Injured? How'd you get injured? "Lin Yi asked.
"I got a new mission after we came back from North Africa, and it was to track down an international drug trafficker. I didn't expect them to have a master in their midst, and I got injured … …" Huaijun smiled bitterly at this point. "I guess I was lucky, though. They thought I was dead when they saw me fall down, but Armadillo and the others … …"
"Armadillo? What's wrong with him? "Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.
"Armadillo sacrificed himself … …" Huaijun said, a little dejected.
"What?!" Lin Yi's face turned into a terrifying grim- Armadillo, that little guy who always had that bright smile on his face … … Who would've thought that a comrade who'd fought alongside him two years ago would die just like that … …
Huaijun could empathize with Lin Yi's emotion- Armadillo was Lin Yi's comrade, and Huaijun's comrade as well! Huaijun couldn't help but cry when he heard the news of Armadillo's death.
"Maybe he's still alive … …" Huaijun said, worried that Lin Yi would be sad.
"You didn't find his body?" A glimmer of hope flashed across Lin Yi's eyes- Armadillo was a smart fella, and it was possible that he could've escaped death.
"His body was thrown into the furnace by the drug dealers … … I didn't know about it until later." Huaijun sighed. "I was in so much pain when I woke up that I couldn't care less about anything else. I found a place to hide, and lost consciousness after that, until someone rescued me … …"
"Fuck his ancestors!" Lin Yi slammed his fist on the coffee table in front of him, and Lin Yi smashed it into a pile of sawdust.
Huaijun clicked his tongue inwardly. As expected of an Eagle, he was still as fierce as ever. Huaijun knew that he wouldn't be able to do something like that himself.
"I'm sorry, I was too heavily injured, and I couldn't check on my comrades … …" Huaijun said, guilt filling his heart every time he thought about it.
"It's not your fault!" Lin Yi shook his head- he knew that Huaijun would only be courting death if he went up there. "Are your injuries serious?"
"Full of injuries … … I retired after half a year of recuperation." Huaijun sighed. "Western medicine calls it sequela, Eastern medicine calls it broken meridians. You can't be agitated, and you can't engage in high-intensity work for a long period of time. Moreover, you have to use medication to maintain it. "
Lin Yi put the pangolin thing to the back of his mind and turned to Huaijun. "Give me your hand."
"What are you doing?" Huaijun asked curiously, but extended his hand anyway.
"Let me feel your pulse." Lin Yi said as he placed his hand on Huaijun's wrist, his expression solemn.
"You can feel my pulse? No way, Ying, I thought you were good at killing, but you know how to save people? " Huaijun stared at Lin Yi, a little surprised- this was his comrade-in-arms in a storm of bullets.
"There's a lot you don't know." Lin Yi said with a smile. "What, you don't trust me?"
"Don't trust me?" Huaijun's eyes widened. "Of course I trust you! I could've left my back to you on the battlefield! "
"Don't make it sound so mushy." Lin Yi said jokingly, but his heart was getting heavier and heavier. Huaijun's pulse was bad, and he could feel that his body had recovered, but his internal injuries were still very serious. Many of his organs weren't fully healed yet, and were even showing signs of weakening!
"How is it? My body's alright, right? "Huaijun asked curiously, seeing that Lin Yi had really felt his pulse.
"You only use painkillers to solve your problems?" Lin Yi didn't answer the question.
"Yeah, what's wrong with it?" Huaijun asked.
"Then why aren't you dead yet?" Lin Yi said with a frown.
"......" Huaijun was speechless. "What the fuck, are you cursing me?"
"It's not that I'm cursing you, but you're in a really bad situation right now. The injuries from last time haven't healed at all, and they're getting worse. I don't know how you've been using painkillers for so long, but someone else would've died from the pain a long time ago." Lin Yi said with a serious expression on his face. He wasn't trying to scare Huaijun, he was just stating a fact. There was no need to lie to someone like Huaijun- he'd been on the battlefield long ago, and he'd long since given up on life and death. Even if Lin Yi were to tell him that he was going to die tomorrow, Huaijun wouldn't have much of a reaction.
"An old Eastern doctor said the same thing, saying that I wouldn't be able to live past six months. Look at me, aren't I?" As expected, Huaijun wasn't affected by Lin Yi's words at all. He was stretching his arms and legs in a relaxed manner.
"He's right- half a year is too much for you." Lin Yi nodded.
"Eagle, can you stop mocking me? Do I look like someone who's about to die? "Huaijun glared at Lin Yi, a little displeased.
"My name's Lin Yi, don't call me Eagle." Lin Yi said as he looked at Huaijun. "That's why I said it's a miracle that you're still alive, and it might have something to do with your strong willpower."
"What's wrong with that?" Huaijun continued.
"You can still use painkillers to alleviate the pain, but it'll only get worse in the future!" Lin Yi said. "You might've noticed it by now, but the frequency and dosage of the painkillers has increased."
"You … You really know medicine?" Huaijun asked, surprised that Lin Yi had hit the nail on the head.
"What do you think?" Lin Yi said as he let go of Huaijun's hand- he had a rough idea of what was going on. Huaijun's situation was very complicated- there was a saying that all medicines had some side effects, and every herb would damage the body's organs to a certain degree. In other words, if Lin Yi were to prescribe a medicine for the heart, it'd affect Huaijun's spleen or liver, but if he were to prescribe a medicine for the liver, it'd affect his heart or kidney- all in all, there'd be side effects to the other organs no matter which part he treated. It'd be better if he didn't treat it, and it'd only speed up his death.
Huaijun couldn't help but ask when he saw Lin Yi deep in thought. "What's wrong? What're you thinking about? "
