"This person shouldn't be a member of your family, right?" the old doctor said.
Miao Cui asked her youngest daughter to come down. Because she had taken the nobleman's jewelry, now was the time to feel guilty. She heard the question and did not want others to know: "She is a distant relative of mine. She married a wealthy family. She came back to visit her relatives this time. Unexpectedly, she suddenly There was a flood and she suffered a lot in the water. Doctor, please save her."
The old doctor was dubious, and after all the examinations were completed, he said: "This lady's injury is very serious. I am not good at medical skills, so I can only temporarily prescribe some medicine to activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, exorcise evil spirits and nourish the body."
Xiao Yinzi suddenly cried anxiously: "Doctor, please think of a way."
"She has been in a coma for three or four days and has not yet woken up. There is congestion in the back of her brain, her skin is very hot, and evil spirits have entered her body. In my opinion, even if she wakes up by luck, she will still have symptoms." The old doctor felt sad when he saw the little girl crying so sadly. The suspicion was dispelled a bit, but what he said was true. If the fever persisted, there was a possibility of brain burns.
"This is a small place. It would be best if a famous doctor can treat him." The old doctor finally said, packing up the medicine box and leaving the ointment. He looked at the medicinal materials Yu Dalang bought, added more and more, and carefully explained how to prepare the medicine for decoction. The heat, several times a day, before leaving.
Xiao Yinzi immediately went to cook the medicine. He was very sad and only hoped that the noble man could get better.
Miao Cui sighed. She put a wet handkerchief on Guiren's forehead and continued to take care of her. She felt that she had hit a hot potato in her hand. She regretted saving her life. Later she saw that she would have to spend a lot of money to treat Guiren. To be honest, If the little daughter hadn't been watching, and she still had some conscience in her heart, then...sigh.
Yu Shitou told Dalang what happened in the cabinet shop, which caused Miao Cui to curse loudly. When she heard that the price of food had increased five times, and it is estimated that it will continue to rise in the future, the curse became louder.
The next day, I still couldn't calm down. Even though Yu Shitou was at the helm, I could still hear my mother-in-law scolding the unscrupulous grain merchant. The cabin was filled with the smell of medicine. Xiao Yinzi and Xiao Jinzi were cooking medicine, and Xiao Yinzi was cooking it very seriously.
It was against this noisy background filled with the bitter medicinal smell that the woman on the bed finally moved a finger with difficulty.
The place where I slept seemed to be shaking. I was feeling groggy. I could vaguely hear someone arguing outside. There was an extremely bitter medicinal smell on my tongue and mouth. I could also smell fishy smell on the tip of my nose, mixed with a strange sour smell. It didn't smell good, I had chest tightness, vomiting, and a splitting headache. I became even more dizzy and unconscious.
Xiao Jinzi raised the pillow for the noble man. Aniang was busy, so he and his little sister took care of this noble man. He was nine years old this year, and he was thin and dry. When he saw the medicine bowl steaming, he said: "Oh, my little sister." Yinzi, please blow it to cool it down, otherwise it will burn someone."
Xiao Yinzi climbed into bed: "It won't be hot anymore if I blow it again. It's cold now, so I can't drink cold medicine."
Xiao Yinzi skillfully put a spoonful of black concoction into the noble's mouth, and then pressed it against his tongue, so that the medicine could be drunk. This method was taught to them by the old doctor yesterday.
It worked really well. After finishing the bowl of soup, Xiao Yinzi touched the noble man's forehead and felt that it was better than yesterday and not so hot.
In the evening.
The boat stopped at a wild ferry.
Frost is crushing the grass, and the moon is bright and dew is thin.
Yu Shitou and Yu Dalang were soundly asleep in the outer cabin. Miao Cui in the inner cabin made a bunk under the bed and took her youngest daughter and second son to sleep together. When the moon was at the top, the moonlight leaked from the ship window onto the bed, and she fell asleep. It took a long time for the woman to move her eyes under her eyelids. She slowly opened her eyes and felt that her eyes were very dark, as if she didn't turn on the light.
My head was throbbing with pain, and my whole body ached with the slightest movement. My hair was soaked in cold sweat. I touched my hands underneath and found the hard bed board and straw mat. With difficulty, I half-propelled myself with the strength of my arms and sat on the head of the bed. , the woman gasped lightly.
The surroundings were too dark, which was very inconvenient for her when she just woke up, and she was not used to it.
The only sounds in my ears were the sound of water flowing and the sound of men snoring.
This is where?
The woman frowned and reached out to touch the back of her head. She felt a big lump. The pain made her sweat. After putting down her hand, she groped again in the dark. She should be sleeping on a bed, but there were so many in her home. person?
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of anything. Her mind was confused. She looked at the darkness and subconsciously touched her wrist. Unexpectedly, she found nothing. Suddenly, her heart felt empty, and she was lost for a moment.
She intuitively remembered that there should be something on her wrist, which was given to her by a very important person. When she tried to recall it, her mind went blank. When she thought about it a little, her brain felt like a needle pricking her head, and she felt... Yes... the woman touched her ears again, but found nothing. She pursed her lips, trying her best to suppress the sadness and loss that filled the air. She checked in secret and found that she had many injuries.
In addition, there is a rectangular sign hanging on the neck. It is very small and feels a bit like jade.
When I touched the words engraved on it, I felt refreshed and traced it carefully with my fingertips. I found that the words Qian Ying were engraved on it.
It should be her name, right? She read it twice in her heart, and the vague feeling of familiarity finally made her no longer so afraid.
But where is this? Her home? It doesn't seem to be the case. The woman always feels that it is very inconsistent here.
There was also an injury on her leg. She touched the edge of the bed and carefully got off the boat. When she landed, her calf was numb. After enduring the pain, she hit something as soon as she took a step, so she could only retreat to the bed.
Xiao Jinzi murmured twice in his sleep and continued to sleep.
She returned to the bed, looked into the darkness, turned her back to the wall, and faced the direction of the sound. She could not help but feel panic in her heart. She didn't know how long it took before she squinted for a while. When she heard any movement, she immediately closed her eyes tightly. .
In the morning, Xiao Yinzi was still boiling medicine, and Xiao Jinzi ran outside to play in the forest for a while, shouting to his father that he had caught a big fish.
The two men continued to give medicine to the injured nobleman.
"Dad, you are so awesome. There will be fish to eat at noon." Xiao Jinzi said happily.
"Keep the fish and sell it." Miao Cui dismissed her second son's idea.
Xiao Jinzi thought of another way and shouted outside: "Daddy, daddy, I want to eat fish."
Yu Shitou smiled and said, "Okay, dad will go fishing again."
After that, we went fishing.
After Xiao Yinzi took the medicine, he and his mother made fish baskets as usual.
Miao Cui glanced outside the window: "God, the sun finally shines. If the rain continues, no one will survive."
The only sound in the room was the sound of weaving fish baskets.
As everyone knows, the person on the bed was so shocked by her words that he closed his eyes. He slowly opened his eyes a little, only to find that his eyes were still exactly the same as when he opened his eyes yesterday, pitch black.
Is it daytime outside?
Then why couldn't she see? She opened her eyes.
Miao Cui got up and walked to the window of the boat. She found her second son sitting on the shore and watching his father fishing. pointing in her direction.
Suddenly he was startled: "Are you awake?"
Xiao Yinzi looked up and jumped with joy.
Yu Dalang, who had been in the outer cabin, heard his little sister's cheers and walked to the inner cabin to see that she was really awake.
"I asked dad to catch another one." Xiao Yinzi went out in a hurry and called her dad.
Seeing that the noble man was silent, Yu Dalang stepped forward and wanted to get close to him, but found that the noble man had been looking at the direction where Xiao Yinzi went out.
She seemed to be looking at Xiao Yinzi.
He didn't seem to be watching.
Even when he was close, it seemed as if he could not be seen.
Yu Dalang thought of what the old doctor said and had a bad premonition. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the noble man's eyes, but the noble man didn't notice it at all.
Miao Cui shouted: "Oh, what's going on? Why are you still blind?"
Hearing such unreasonable words, the noble man's breathtakingly gorgeous face stared blankly at his mother.
This is not easy to handle, Yu Dalang frowned.
Chapter 260 (original two chapters combined into one)
The autumn wind is bleak.
On the Guieryan battlefield south of Daizhou, the two armies gathered here.
Youzhou Iron Cavalry, Taiyuan Shenwu.
Zhou Xu is wearing armor in front, with a Youzhou knife hanging from his left waist. One of his hands is buckled on his belt. The belt is made of cowhide. It is not luxurious, but rather ordinary. The only advantage is probably that it is strong. , it is also an old thing that has been used for many years. Whenever he fights, Zhou Xu always wants to touch something and take something he is used to. For more than thirty years, his old things will only be used if they are broken and can no longer be used. Gathered in dust in the mansion's treasury.
The other hand gently dragged the Juque Sword. The Juque Sword was a veritable heavy sword. Zhou Xu was worried about crushing the horse, so he was not willing to put the sword across the horse's back. Instead, he lowered his hands and dragged the Juque naturally. The sword walked, and the thick blade left a deep mark on the ground.
Behind him are Chang Shuanglin and Yang Dong, respectively on the left and right sides of the general. Behind Yang Dong is a newly promoted captain. There is a scar on his face, which is longer than the scar on Yang Dong's face. He is tall and strong. An iron spear, it was Hu Dali who was promoted due to his military exploits. Due to his good performance in combat, he was admitted to the Xianden camp. He beheaded He Man in the battle of Hexi, so he was promoted to captain.
Hu Dali is stronger than before. Since the war, he has had enough to eat almost every day. After becoming an official, he has meat every day. He is not one who knows how to restrain himself. His appetite is getting bigger every day. , The iron gun wielded in his hand became heavier day by day, and more and more people were killed day by day.
Sometimes, Hu Dali felt that fighting was great. Of course, winning the battle was even better, but the Taiyuan Shenwu Army on the opposite side looked difficult to deal with. According to the number of infantry fighting, there were 40,000, as well as light cavalry and crossbows. There are about 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers, supervising the combat team, and logistical personnel.
But Hu Dali is not afraid of them either.
Across a Guieryan plain, Zhou Xu looked at the Taiyuan Shenwu Army infantry formation opposite. It happened to be a sunny day, and the silver armor of the Shenwu Army infantry looked like a heavy snowfall in the sun.
They formed a tight formation to await the cavalry on the opposite side, and there were Shenwu light cavalry roaming behind the square formation. The distance was too far, and the Shenwu Army's central tent was surrounded by infantry.
Although the two had fought against each other for such a long time, this was the first time that Wei Yanshan had faced him in front of him.
Zhou Xu thought of Jin Ben who was arranged by him to stay at Xiaopei. When there were ten thousand ghost slaughter cavalry, he left two thousand for his wife and gave five thousand to Jin Ben to attack Xuzhou. He had three thousand here, plus Yang Dong Together with Dai Chenggong's light cavalry and infantry, he had 15,000 troops, mostly cavalry. Once a frontal attack was made, the opponent's number would be twice as many as his own, and the infantry phalanx was quite a threat to the cavalry. Xu thought about it and decided to let the light cavalry circle around the edge of the infantry formation to harass them. Maybe he could also find an opportunity to lead the ghost slaughter cavalry to kill the advancing soldiers in a roundabout way, slowly slicing the flesh with the knife to eliminate the infantry force.
With flags on both sides, Zhou Xu tapped his fingers on the hilt of the giant sword, making a dull sound.
He originally thought that Wei Yanshan valued Xuzhou so much that he would not come out. Zhou Xu originally planned to suppress the rebellion in Hexi, and after destroying Daizhou, he would go to see his wife first, and then move to Xuzhou.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yanshan came out.
"My lord, your letter has arrived."
Hu Dali led someone forward and said loudly: "This is a letter from Gui Tuqi." He didn't know much about reading, so he only saw the words "Saturday" on the envelope.
The scout who delivered the letter was a Ghost Slaughter Cavalry. He was kneeling on the ground. Unlike the rest of his colleagues, he did not wear a mask. He wore light armor and came all the way from Jiangnan Road on horseback. The hand holding the envelope was slightly Trembling, Zhou Xu first glanced at his waist badge, and then slowly picked up the letter.
The letter was not written by Madam, but by Sixteen.
He looked at the surface of the letter but did not open it.
"What's your name?" Zhou Xu lowered his head and asked.
The messenger raised his head slightly, revealing a rough face, but he did not dare to look at the prince: "Back to the general, the last general is Ding Yufeng, the commander of the Ghost Slaughter Cavalry East Camp."
"It turns out to be a big insect." Zhou Xu thought of this person. As long as the Ghost Tuqi people had fought with him, he knew it well. Ding Mayfly was a good name, but Ding Mayfly didn't like it. He felt that the insect was called Mayfly. He was too young and not domineering at all, so he gave himself a nickname, a nickname for tiger, Big Chong. He smiled and said: "But I am so tired delivering letters, why are my hands still shaking?"
Hearing the general calling out his name clearly, Ding Mayfly couldn't help but knelt down on his knees, his eyes were red, and he cried harshly: "The general is incompetent, please punish me."
He buried his head deeply on the ground. The king was worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the king humiliated his ministers to death. The general entrusted the safety of his mistress to their Dong Daying camp, but they did not protect his mistress, but made her disappear. So A serious crime, death is inevitable!
Yang Dong and Chang Shuanglin came over at the same time. Only Hu Dali got off his horse and wanted to help the messenger up: "If you have something to say, please explain it clearly."
Ding Yufeng couldn't get up and faced the general with no face: "The Xun family of Qinghe was a spy from Wei Yanshan, and they planned to cause the Dongyue Dike to burst. The princess was washed away by the flood and her whereabouts are missing."
Just three or four sentences made Hu Dali, who was holding him, stunned for several seconds. The people around him also looked horrified. When they came to their senses, Hu Dali sat down on the ground and made a sound. The princess was washed away by the water and disappeared. Is this, this, this enough?
He subconsciously looked up at the prince.
In the daylight, the general was sitting on horseback, his face obscured by shadows. A huge shadow covered him and the messenger. A gust of wind blew and the envelope fell to the ground.
The general turned over and dismounted. Hu Dali clearly saw the general's shadow staggering, as if he had lost his balance.
Zhou Xu picked up the letter, loosened the reins, and the war horse snorted beside him. His voice was not loud, but he was just reminding Ding Yufeng: "Liar reporting of information will lead to beheading, Ding Yufeng, for the sake of fighting in the past, I I can spare your life.”
Ding Mayfly paused and said, "I beg the general to punish me. I will have no complaints at all."
Zhou Xu opened the envelope and read the letter written to him by Zhou Shiliu. His cheek muscles twitched and his eyes opened, showing a hint of blood.
Hu Dali couldn't help but shudder when he saw the general's expression.
