Zuocun carried Lu Silan on his back and held Okita Souji in his arms, rushing towards the ruins of Lu Silan Medical Center.
After Saito revealed that Okita was ill, Zuomura asked Lu Silan for his opinion, and then ran to the ruins of the Shinsengumi with Lu Silan on his back.
After the lame Lu Silan briefly checked Okita's condition, he asked Zuo Cun to take Okita Souji and himself to the ruins of the medical center. He had some medicine that could delay the cough.
Okita's consciousness was a little blurry.
She coughed twice and looked at the figure holding her.
"Zuocun..."
Finally arrived at the ruins.
"Put me down and I'll look for you. Take care of Captain Okita first." Lu Silan's voice was a little weak.
"Ah good."
Zuocun cleared a small open space and let Okita lie on the ground first.
Zuo Cun then directly cleared out the ruins.
Lu Silan found his medicine cabinet, rummaged around on the cabinet and found a small glass bottle.
"That's it, you feed it to Captain Okita." Lu Silan threw the bottle to Zuo Cun, while he lay on the cabinet, breathing heavily and sweating, "Let me rest for a while, I feel a little weak It’s too much.”
Having just undergone an extremely unprofessional amputation surgery, Lu Silan was indeed feeling very uncomfortable.
"Well, thank you, Lu Silan." Zuo Cun said gratefully.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, my life would be dead." Lu Silan smiled.
Zuocun didn't waste any time, opened the cork of the bottle, poured out a pill from it, and fed it to Okita.
Lu Silan glanced slightly in the direction of Zuo Cun.
That medicine can indeed delay Soji Tian's illness.
But it's just a delay, it can't really cure Okita's condition.
Lu Silan sighed.
He can't change history, and naturally he can't really save Okita Souji.
If the relevant history were changed, he would definitely be discovered by those two guys.
So...I'm sorry, Anno-sama.
Samura put Okita Souji's head on his lap with complicated eyes.
...
"So, are you just going to leave without saying a word?" Kondo looked at Zuo Cun, who was carrying Lu Silan on his back.
"Don't forget, Kondo, this is what you said, I am a wanted criminal." Zuo Cun smiled behind Lu Silan's back, "I gave you a beating a few days ago, and you left a dangerous person like me here. This is a place where your boss will probably be unwilling to do it."
Hijikata Toshizo stood nearby, looked into Samura's eyes, and suddenly smiled.
"Hijikata, why are you laughing?" Zuo Cun was a little surprised.
"I feel like you've changed, but in fact you haven't changed." Tobi Hijikata hit Samura on the shoulder.
Zuo Cun was confused: "In short, tell Okita that you must take your medicine on time, and I will leave first."
Lu Silan added: "Three times a day, once in the morning, noon and evening."
"I understand, thank you, kind doctor." Isamu Kondo held a few bottles of medicine and waved to the two of them.
Zuo Cun smiled and jumped away with Lu Silan on his back.
Kondo watched Zuo Cun's figure gradually disappear and sighed.
"I really hope he is not an enemy...in every sense." Toshizo Hijikata stood aside with a little sadness, "He and Okita can..."
"Stop talking about Hijikata, let's sort out the comfort issue in Kyoto now." Isamu Kondo interrupted Hijikata Toshizo, "Now if someone wants to take advantage of the situation, it will be our responsibility."
...
The two of them returned to the hut, and Souna had already prepared a meal.
Putting Lu Silan on the tatami, Zuo Cun looked at Lu Silan.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Lu Silan's eyes moved to his sitting legs and sighed: "Who knows, but I will probably continue to be a doctor."
"...You still want to stay in Japan?" Zuo Cun showed a hint of surprise, "But your legs, and the medical center has already..."
"It doesn't matter, even if it can't be driven in a big city like Kyoto, I can still drive it in this village." Lu Silan pretended to be sad, "I have stayed in Japan for ten years, so... Why are you going back?"
Zuocun was slightly silent.
So, has it been this long?
"As for my legs, if I opened a medical clinic, I would rarely go out, so... the impact should not be big." Lu Silan smiled.
Village Chief Zuo sighed: "If that's what you mean...I won't advise you."
"I'll make you a crutch later."
"Thanks."
Zuo Cun helped Lu Silan outside, chopped down a tree with a pheasant feather, and carved it repeatedly to create a crutch that Lu Silan could put in the creaking nest.
Lu Silan tried it and felt it was a bit uncoordinated, so Zuo Cun revised it again.
"Souna, are there any vacant houses in the village?" Zuo Cun asked Souna through the window.
"Ah, yes." Zoshina was washing dishes. "There is an empty house next to the tavern. No one has lived in it for a long time."
"Really?" Zuo Cun touched his chin and smiled.
...
Tokugawa Iemo hammered the table hard.
"Let His Majesty the Emperor issue an edict." Veins suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he was extremely angry.
Upon hearing the news of the fire in Kyoto, he quickly mobilized manpower from Edo to help fight the fire.
When he arrived in Kyoto from Edo, what he saw was a ruins littered with corpses.
"Defining those rebellious officials and traitors of the Choshu Domain as enemies of the court!"
he roared.
"Crunt!"
"We must attack!"
When the imperial court and the shogunate gathered forces together and began to send troops towards the enemy Choshu Domain, on the other side, the Shikoku fleet that Takasugi Shinsaku had not negotiated before also approached the coastline of Choshu Domain again.
For a time, the Choshu clan fell into a situation of internal and external troubles.
The vassal soldiers of Satsuma Domain, Aizu Domain and other vassals, with the imperial edict, were eagerly preparing to attack the Choshu rebels.
Beyond the coastline, the fleets of the United States, Britain, France and the Netherlands were ready to move, frequently carrying out harassing bombardments.
The political situation within the Changzhou vassal was also extremely chaotic.
The Forbidden Gate incident and the burning of Kyoto showed that the Choshu clan was not a positive character no matter what angle it was viewed from.
In the chaos, Katsura Kogoro chose to protect himself wisely, and at the same time tried every means to rescue Takasugi Shinsaku.
After rescuing Takasugi Shinsaku, the two people split up.
Takasugi Shinsaku found the "teams" he had trained and was planning something secretly.
Kogoro, on the other hand, went to Satsuma Domain, Ryoma's residence.
After Zuo Cun arranged for Lu Silan, he quickly rushed to Satsuma.
After roughly understanding what happened during this period, Zuo Cun realized something.
The real era of collapse is already coming.
What we have to do now is to join up with the other three allies and complete the part of the things we are responsible for.
