Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

"Wake up, wake up!" I heard someone calling me in a daze, and I opened my eyes with difficulty.

"Are you okay?" a girl squatted next to me and asked.

"Are you Mr. Wei Qing?" the girl continued to ask.

I wanted to get up but I didn't have the strength, so the girl helped me up.

"Thank you!" I said weakly.

"Are you Mr. Wei Qing?" the girl continued to ask.

"Who are you?" Out of caution, I did not answer but instead asked the other party's identity.

"I'm a college student and I've been camping in this forest park with my friends these past two days. This little dog just took my camera, and I chased him all the way here."

"Is this Yunluo Forest Park?"

"No! This is Tengshan Forest Park."

"When did Hegang have this forest park?" I was confused.

"This is Ao City, not Hegang. However, this is the border between Ao City and Hegang, so it's relatively close to Hegang."

"All right!"

"So you are Mr. Wei Qing, right?" the girl continued to ask without giving up.

I thought the girl didn't look like a bad person, so I admitted it.

"I finally met you in person! Hello, senior! I'm a sophomore at Jinghua University, my name is Yuanying. I'm currently an exchange student at the University of Aoshima! I often heard your stories when I was in school! Your deeds are also inscribed in the school's Hall of Fame!"

"Really? Then I'll have to go back and take a look some other day."

"Look, this is my student ID." Yuanying opened the photo album on her phone and showed me her student ID.

"What a familiar student ID card!" I exclaimed.

"Senior, how do you feel now? Is there anything particularly uncomfortable? I see you are covered in blood."

"My whole body hurts now!" I replied with a forced smile.

"Senior, please hold on a little longer. I've just called an ambulance. Do you need some water?" The girl handed me a bottle of water from her backpack and I took a sip.

Yuanying chatted with me while we waited for the ambulance. Listening to her stories about campus brought back memories of my college days. Those fond memories kept me going while I waited for the ambulance. The doctor treated me in the ambulance, and before I knew it, I fell asleep again. When I woke up again, I was lying in a hospital ward, with Li Zhanwen sitting by my bed.

"Aqing, you finally woke up!" Li Zhanwen was very excited to see me wake up.

I forced a smile and said, "This isn't the underworld, is it?"

"Of course not! This is the human world!" Li Zhanwen cried with joy.

I wanted to get up, but the pain was unbearable all over my body.

"Don't move. You just had surgery and can't move around. Let me raise the bed for you." After saying that, Li Zhanwen raised the head of the bed for me.

"What surgery did I have? How come I didn't know?"

"You had several gunshot wounds, and the doctors took all the bullets out of you. You were already in a coma when you were taken to the hospital, and you've been sleeping for a whole day!"

"So! How are the kids?"

"The older ones were easy to coax, but the younger ones kept crying when they didn't see you come back. I had no choice but to ask Shen Junhui to take them away."

"That's good too. Their grandma should be able to coax them into submission. What about you? Have you been frightened these past few days?"

"I was completely stunned when I heard that you were kidnapped! And it was You Yuanzhou. I kept calling you but couldn't get through. I also asked the police about your whereabouts, but they had no news of you either. Although it was only two days, the days without you really felt like years!" Li Zhanwen was very sad.

"It's okay! I'm back now! Those who survive a disaster will surely have good fortune in the future!" I reached out to wipe away Li Zhanwen's tears.

"How are you feeling now? Do you want me to call a doctor?"

"I'm fine, but the wound hurts a little."

"The doctor said the gunshot wound on your body is quite serious and has become inflamed. You also have several fractures and even more bruises. What happened? Why are you injured so badly?"

"Have the police been here? Find Xiao Tai here. I want to tell him where You Yuanzhou is."

"The police came, but you were still unconscious so they had to leave. Xu Jing knew something was wrong with you and flew back from Europe overnight. She came to see you an hour ago and she'll probably come again tonight."

"Then go notify the police. I want to tell them You Yuanzhou's location."

Soon after, the police came to the hospital to question me, and I told them what had happened over the past two days. After taking my statement, the police, based on my description, found the bodies of You Yuanzhou and You Qingshan on the mountain. The news of You Yuanzhou's death brought peace of mind to the people of Hong Kong Island, who no longer had to worry about being held hostage while shopping.

"Mom!" Changheng couldn't wait to call me at the door, then ran over and fell down.

"Slow down!" I said, sitting on the bed.

The three boys ran over one after another and stretched out their hands beside the bed, wanting me to pick them up. I wanted to pick them up too, but my arms were injured and I didn’t have the strength to pick them up, so I could only touch their little heads.

"Mom is sick! You guys have to be good and don't make trouble!" Mother Shen walked in holding Rourou.

"Why are you here too!" I was very surprised by Mother Shen's arrival.

"The kids were clamoring to see their mom, so I had no choice but to bring them here. I also asked Auntie to make some chicken soup for you to nourish you. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

"Thank you so much for taking the trouble!"

"are you feeling better?"

"much better!"

"I want my mother to hold me!" Rourou in Mother Shen's arms stretched out her hand to me, and I also reached out to take her. Although my wound was pulled, the feeling of holding the child in my arms was enough to make me ignore the pain.

I picked up my sister, and the three brothers complained aggrievedly, but in the end, I had to carry them all to bed. Now, seeing my own children jumping around in front of me, I remembered the life-and-death struggle with You Yuanzhou that day. Fortunately, those children gave me great courage and strength, otherwise I would not have been able to see such a lovely child of mine.

In the evening, the children were taken back home, and only Li Zhanwen was left with me in the ward.

"Please help me find some pen and paper. I want to write a thank-you letter." I said to Li Zhanwen.

"Who are you writing this to?" Li Zhanwen was very curious.

"School girl!"

"Why are you writing to your schoolmate?"

"The girl who first discovered me was my junior from Jinghua University. She's now an exchange student at the University of Auckland. I want to write her a thank-you letter!"

"Oh! I see! Australia City is quite close to here. How about I pick her up some other day so you can thank her in person?"

"Why would someone come all the way here just to say thank you? It's not convenient for me to see her right now, so I can only write a letter."

"Yeah, I didn't think it through, hahaha." Li Zhanwen smiled innocently.

"Can you help me go there tomorrow? And give her some thank you money."

"Of course, just give me your address and name."

"Her name is Yuanying. You can go to the Finance Department of the University of Auckland to find her."

"no problem!"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot something very important!"

"what?"

"When you go tomorrow, go to Tengshan Forest Park to find a little yellow dog and bring it back."

"Why is that? If we want a dog, we can just buy one. Why do we need a dog there?"

"This dog is my lifesaver! If it hadn't taken Yuanying's camera and attracted Yuanying to find me, I might have really been left dead in the wilderness."

"There's another story!"

"Yes, I had fainted once, and it was the little yellow dog who licked me awake. It was a bit cold at night, and it even came close to me to provide me with its body temperature. I originally thought it couldn't understand human language, but I didn't expect it to understand and find someone to rescue me."

"No problem! I'll find it!"

The next day, Li Zhanwen went to thank Yuanying on my behalf, but he couldn't find the little yellow dog. Later, he asked a forest ranger to keep an eye out for the little yellow dog, and he was finally able to find it. He brought it back to Hegang, dewormed it, gave it vaccinations, and then took it in. From then on, a new member of the family grew up with the children.
