Chapter 3

Just now, that pale pink airflow couldn't have been true qi, could it? And who is this big man? Such a fierce person can't be an ordinary person, right?

A series of questions appeared in Zhang Hao's mind.

The big man threw down the head, walked down the hill, and directly came to the front of the carriage. The other guards, except for two who remained vigilant, also relaxed and prepared to bandage their wounds. From their orderly actions, it was clear that they had been strictly trained and might even have experienced war!

"Who are you?"

Just as Zhang Hao was considering how to approach these people, the big man already had a bow in hand and shouted in his direction.

Zhang Hao was momentarily stunned, then immediately thought of the big man's extraordinary skills, realizing that hiding on the side wasn't much of a secret.

He walked out from the mountain hollow to a place where the big man and others could see clearly, and raised his arms to show that he had no weapons and no ill intentions.

"I'm not with those bandits; I just happened to pass by and have no ill intentions," Zhang Hao said.

He had already found it strange earlier that although their voices were a bit odd, their words were similar to Mandarin, so there was no worry about communication. Originally, Zhang Hao had prepared for the possibility of not being able to communicate. Although he didn't understand what was going on, it was clearly more convenient this way.

Looking at Zhang Hao's short hair and strange attire, the big man and the other guards were somewhat surprised. Compared to the curious guards who pointed at Zhang Hao, the big man was clearly much more composed.

From Zhang Hao's demeanor and clothing, it was clear that he was likely not related to the bandits. With the big man's high skills and boldness, he immediately put away his bow and made no other gestures.

"Sir, I'm lost. Could you take me to the nearest county?" Zhang Hao didn't want to miss these people and quickly asked.

He wanted to find a prosperous area to take advantage of the differences between the two worlds to earn money. At the same time, he wanted to understand the specific situation of this world to consider his next steps.

As he spoke, Zhang Hao walked toward the other side, very carefully. One was to avoid being misunderstood, and the other was that the blood and gore on the ground made it uncomfortable to walk. He was also ready to open the time-space door and run away if necessary. After all, without Zhang Hao's consent, no living being or object could enter the time-space door.

To some extent, the time-space door could be used as an invincible shield, though it could only protect one side.

The guards were laughing and bandaging each other's wounds, occasionally glancing at Zhang Hao, clearly curious and wary. Clearly, the previous battle and their injuries were not on their minds. Such a demeanor naturally made one think of terms like elite soldiers.

"Ugh..." Before he even got close, even though Zhang Hao tried to control himself, he couldn't bear it. The gruesome corpses, severed limbs, and especially the strange-smelling, steaming internal organs were beyond his control.

Zhang Hao vomited with a wrenching heart, and seeing his state and reaction, the big man and others completely relaxed their vigilance. In these times of constant warfare, a man who reacted so strongly to seeing a dead body was clearly not a threat.

One of the guards with a scar on his face and his companions laughed loudly at Zhang Hao, but as they laughed, their voices suddenly became hoarse, their faces turned red, and they suddenly fell to the ground.

"Xie Yang, Xie Yang..." The others, sensing something was wrong, quickly looked over.

"Commander, Xie Yang is having an attack again!" One of them, supporting the scar-faced guard, said anxiously to the big man.

At this point, Zhang Hao had almost vomited everything in his stomach. Hearing the commotion, he looked up. Seeing their anxious expressions, he understood that it might be an emergency.

His legs felt weak as he walked over, noticing that they were only surrounding the scar-faced guard and not doing anything else. He frowned and said,

"You all step back. This way, he can't breathe."

"Are you a doctor?" The big man turned around and grabbed Zhang Hao's arm. Zhang Hao felt a sharp pain in his arm; the big man's hand was like an iron clamp. Although Zhang Hao usually felt he had a good physique, compared to the big man, he was like a child.

"I'm not a doctor, but I've seen similar situations. You surrounding him like this, the air can't circulate, which is bad for him." Zhang Hao said through the pain. "Also, let me see the specific situation."

The big man, not understanding terms like air, but seeing that Zhang Hao had some ideas, immediately pushed aside the surrounding guards, leaving only the one supporting the scar-faced guard.

Zhang Hao then saw the condition of the scar-faced guard, his expression tightening. The scar-faced guard seemed to have lost consciousness, his face covered in sweat, and his complexion was blue and purple. This seemed to be a sudden heart attack!

Zhang Hao quickly went forward, had the guard lay him flat, and felt his neck pulse and heartbeat.

"Two of you, come here." Zhang Hao called out, then looked at the square-faced guard who had been supporting the scar-faced guard, "You press here, like this, with moderate force."

Before the big man could come over, one of the guards stepped forward. They could see that Zhang Hao had a plan. Zhang Hao began to teach him how to perform artificial respiration.

After the two guards maintained their actions, Zhang Hao said to the big man, "Wait a moment, I'll go get the medicine. If his heartbeat gradually stops, place your hand on his chest and use your fist to strike it. Wait for me to come back."

After saying this, under the watchful eyes of the big man and the other guards, Zhang Hao directly opened the time-space door. This time, it was the big man and the others who were stunned. Watching Zhang Hao pass through a water-like light and disappear, followed by the strange light fading, these tough men who had fought and been injured without a care all looked at each other, feeling as if they had seen a ghost.

In this era, the belief in ghosts and gods was deeply rooted.

"What are you standing around for? Continue," the big man quickly reacted, immediately shouting, while pondering who Zhang Hao really was.

After returning to the modern world, Zhang Hao immediately closed the time-space door, grabbed his keys and wallet, and hurriedly ran out. Saving a life was like putting out a fire, and sudden heart attacks were the most troublesome. Fortunately, the village where he lived had all the necessary facilities, and there was a pharmacy near his residence.

"Speedy Heart Pills," Zhang Hao said to the pharmacy employee. Seeing him out of breath, the employee didn't waste words, knowing the reason for the urgent need for Speedy Heart Pills, and quickly fetched the medicine. Zhang Hao directly threw down a red bill, not waiting for change, and hurriedly ran back.

There was no choice; the time ratio between the modern world and the Three Kingdoms world was about 1:3. One minute here was three minutes there. If he didn't hurry, Zhang Hao was afraid it would be too late.

Fortunately, Zhang Hao's residence was on the third floor. Despite his urgency, he still ran back to the room before opening the time-space door.

Returning to the Three Kingdoms world, Zhang Hao didn't pay attention to the big man and others' expressions. Seeing that the two guards were still performing their actions, he felt relieved. He ran over, took out about ten Speedy Heart Pills, pinched open the scar-faced guard's mouth, and had someone help hold his tongue, placing the pills under his tongue.

After doing these actions, Zhang Hao sat down on the side, wiping the sweat, relieved that he had arrived in time. After all, sudden heart attacks were extremely dangerous, and the symptoms were complex. Perhaps because the scar-faced guard's condition wasn't the most severe and his constitution was good, he could hold on for so long.

A minute or two later, the scar-faced guard's blue and purple face gradually faded, and his breathing began to recover. The surrounding guards immediately cheered.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao smiled. Not only because he had saved a life, but also because he knew that through this incident, temporarily relying on these people would be no problem.

He directly opened the time-space door in front of everyone, this time only the size of a palm, and threw the mineral water bottle he was holding into it.

Seeing his actions, the surrounding people's eyes were filled with awe, even the mighty big man.

Ancient people believed in ghosts and gods, and Zhang Hao's actions were too mysterious. This was all intentional. His previous return to the modern world was also done in front of them.

Not just to save a life, but more to show his mystery, making these people wary. Compared to these people, Zhang Hao was relatively harmless. If he didn't show some special abilities, and with his strange attire, he was worried about being looked down upon or ignored.

In the modern world, Zhang Hao still had to worry about becoming a lab rat due to the time-space door and was concerned about his parents and family. But in the primitive ancient world, he didn't have to worry too much. He didn't mind using various methods to enhance his mystery and status in others' eyes.

This was also because Zhang Hao saw that these people were not the kind of devious and cunning individuals, so he chose this method.
