Chapter Four Flesh and Flesh
When he took a closer look, it turned out that Qin Juexiang was standing beside him with a smile, a chicken leg dangling towards him in his hand: "Brother, are you hungry? Hurry up and take a bite."
The operation was still going on inside the white tent in the hospital. Chang Sihao looked up at the sky and thought that it was a long time. Could it be that Lawyer Xin hadn't rested all this time? Qin Juexiang threw the chicken leg, and he took it with his hands and chewed it.
stand up.
Qin Juexiang kicked away the fragments of the wooden chair, leaned over and sat next to him, and said: "Brother, your reaction is beyond words. If others want to plot against you while you sleep, it will be in vain. How do you practice this Kung Fu?" Chang
Si Hao said: "I don't know. Maybe you can get some sense by living in an isolated city where enemies may come in at any time, or by walking in a mountain forest where tigers and wolves are infested." Qin Juexiang pulled him.
Changyin hummed and said: "You may lose your life at any time. Naturally, you can stimulate your potential. It makes sense. By the way, I heard Captain An recount the story. Damn his grandma, what kind of kung fu is Suonan Gyatso?
Do you want the three of you to do it together? In this fight, a huge Buddhist cave collapsed? Isn’t this guy turned into some wild monster?"
Chang Sihao shook his head, smiled, and asked, "I didn't see you this morning. Where have you been?"
Qin Juexiang said: "Yin Leisheng and I are guarding the east gate. To the east is our territory of the Ming Dynasty. Where did the Tatars come from? Do we need to guard against them? The bearded man simply can't get along with me." He raised his head and glanced at Chen Sheng.
One, glared at him.
Chang Sihao said: "The Tatars will attack Ximen if they invade. Brother Chen has arranged this to protect you."
"Fuck," Qin Juexiang's head shook: "What do I do here? If I don't kill the Tatars, what will I do here? Use him to take care of me?" Chang Sihao chuckled: "Huh? Juexiang, I'm in the army.
In just two days, your temper has gotten worse! Your grandfather is seriously injured now, and he is most afraid of being angry. Please be calm and don't make nonsense." Qin Juexiang was speechless and was speechless. Chang Sihao threw the wave-cutting knife to
Him: "Are there any chicken legs?"
Qin Juexiang stood up with a smile and was about to get it for him when he saw the white curtain in the courtyard lifted up and Xin Lu stepped out, her face pale and tears welling up in her eyes.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they rushed forward to ask. Xinlu's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and her steps were a little frivolous. She wiped away her tears and gently rubbed around her eyes, and said: "I have been under the strong light for a long time.
It’s caused by soreness in the eyes. Don’t worry. The old man’s injured pulse has been connected. It still needs to be observed for a period of time. From now on, day and night, a master must use internal power to sense the blood flow in his body at all times. If there is any
If the blood and Qi are stagnant, an embolism has formed internally, and you must use your strength to help break it open, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted."
Chen Sheng said, "Leave this matter to me." Xin Lu nodded and explained to him the method of unblocking the meridians. The others opened the tent and saw that Qin Langchuan's arms and legs were covered with stitched wounds of different lengths.
There were seventy or eighty places, big and small, and the white cloth on the bed was soaked with blood. Although it was common for these people to lick blood with the tip of a knife, it was confusing to care about it. I couldn't help but feel frightened. I saw that the color of the old man's fingers, toes and other peripheral parts had changed.
Hong, the material is fine, and my heart is at peace. An Ziteng leaned forward and asked: "Old Master, how do you feel?"
Qin Langchuan grinned: "What else can I do? It hurts!"
An Ziteng was stunned. He had been working for the Qin family for so many years and had fought many big and small battles with the old man, but he had never heard him say a word of pain when he was injured.
Qin Langchuan continued with a smile: "If Beishan is here, it will be fine. Let's learn from Confucius Guan once, treat illnesses, play chess, drink wine, and chat..." When he spoke, his eyes were slightly dim, quite
See Xiao Suo.
"Old Master!" Everyone smiled reluctantly, feeling sad for a while.
Qin Juexiang saw that his grandfather's face was suddenly gray. The wrinkles on his face that he had never noticed on weekdays were so deep and so bitter. His cut white hair was of different lengths, lying softly on the pillow soaked with sweat.
, The tired eyes made him look older than ever before, and his heart ached. He stroked his hand and said with tears, "Grandpa, please don't die." Qin Langchuan moved his fingers slightly, picked at the palm of his hand, and said softly.
He laughed and said, "Who will spank you if I die?" Qin Juexiang burst into laughter, blowing bubbles from his nostrils, but tears fell. Xinlu had finished explaining at this time, and heard Qin Langchuan's low voice here.
Without any energy, he came over and said: "Everyone, please stop talking and let him relax and sleep. This will be beneficial to the recovery of the injury."
Qin Langchuan lost a lot of blood and had not slept all night. He was groggy and his eyes were a little scattered. He murmured: "Don't even look at me. All grown men should do their business and defend the city...
..." His eyelids were lowered, and his consciousness gradually became unclear. Everyone helped carry him into the house and put him in place. Chen Shengyi said to everyone softly: "Listen to the old man, I will just stay and look after him, and the others will take over.
Take a rest and go to the city when it’s time to go to the city.”
"Yes Yes!"
Chang Sihao also got up and wanted to go to the city with everyone, but An Ziteng stopped him and said, "Uncle Sun, how can you be steady when you sleep on the chair for a while? We are here tonight, so don't go and have a good rest!" Chen Shengyi also said
Coming over to persuade him, Chang Sihao had no choice but to go back to his room, put on his clothes and lie down.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was dark, everyone was awakened by a knock on the door. They put on their clothes and came out. It turned out that it was Chen Shengyi who was knocking on Xinlu's door, saying in a panic: "I'm afraid the old man may not be able to survive!"
Everyone hurried to Qin Langchuan's room, and when they got to the bedside, they saw that Qin Langchuan's whole body was swollen, and his skin was swollen like an inflated sheepskin drum.
Xinlu walked in quickly, glanced at it, and his expression widened. He said it was okay, made a few incisions with a knife to drain out the fluid, and applied medicine to the injured area. "Sister Xinlu, what kind of medicine are you talking about?" Qin
Jue Xiang frowned when he saw that the medicine was dark and had a pungent smell. "Oh." Xin Lu responded, holding it in his hand and said, "This is the healing elixir of my Hengshan sect, Wu Lei Sheng Hua Powder."
Qin Juexiang grinned: "How does this look like gunpowder to you? It's not for making firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, right?"
It is composed of ingredients with extremely strong odor. It is specially designed to treat serious illnesses and injuries. It works very quickly. How can it be gunpowder?" Qin Juexiang said with an unhappy expression on his face after hearing this: "Sister Xinlu, I have to pick you for this.
Why didn't you give this good medicine to my grandpa yesterday? Your Hengshan elixir is expensive. How much does it cost per pound? I'll buy some." Xin Lu said: "This medicine is too powerful. I was afraid that it would make his blood boil after using it yesterday.
There was an embolism in my body, so I’m doing it now. I’m not reluctant to do it.” Qin Juexiang suddenly blushed. Xinlu further explained to everyone: “After the pulse is connected, the blood will flow, and some areas that are already close to necrosis will be nourished and will expand.
Repair, these fluid accumulations are the waste produced during the repair process. If there is no edema and the skin is dry, that would be bad." Qin Juexiang smiled and said: "I see, let me tell you, the medical skills of the Hengshan School are not so...
…”
Chang Sihao was afraid that he would cause trouble here and affect the treatment, so he hurriedly said: "Jue Xiang, didn't you say yesterday that you were responsible for guarding the east gate? Come on, take me to your station to have a look." As he spoke, he pulled him out.
House, he couldn't help but reply.
Qin Juexiang said as he walked: "What's there to see? You just think that I don't listen to what I say. To be honest, the Hengshan School's medical skills may not be as good as my eldest sister. If the eldest sister is here, the injury will definitely not be swollen, so that the patient will not be swollen."
What's the point of suffering?"
When he came to the east of the city, there was a thunderstorm. As soon as he saw the two of them, he got dry food and water, sat on the rolling log, ate and talked about the night watch. After breakfast, Chang Sihao said: "You have been here all night.
Go back and rest quickly, we are here to keep an eye on you." Yin Leisheng only looked at Qin Juexiang and seemed not to hear his words. Qin Juexiang said displeased: "Why are you standing there? Brother Chang's words are my words.
!" Yin Leisheng responded in a dull voice, saluted the two of them, and turned around. Qin Juexiang saw him walking away, turned around and said: "Brother, don't take it seriously, this stupid cow is too late to react!
"Chang Sihao said: "No. From the first time I heard your grandfather introduce my identity, his expression was different. Although he was polite, it was superficially respectful, I could tell." Qin Juexiang laughed:
"What, brother, do you mean that this boy is interested in my eldest sister and regards you as his love rival?" He laughed out loud when he saw Chang Sihao's noncommittal and acquiescence expression.
Came: "Brother, then you are too worried. My eldest sister only treated his injury once. He is a little grateful in his heart, but nothing else. Don't look at him as a rough-headed person, but he is a bit...
She's pretty and has a good heart. You guys are not familiar with each other, but it will be better if we get along for a long time. It's quite cold sitting here in the morning with the wind blowing, so I'll show you around."
Chang Sihao nodded.
When we got up to the city, we saw that thirteen artillery pieces were placed on this side of the city, which was roughly the same as what we saw on the west side of the city. Looking outside the city, we saw the sky was high and the fields were vast. Not far away, there was a large river with turbid currents and smooth water.
Qin Juexiang said: "This Yuanfeng Town in Hebei and Sangqian in Nanhui are a natural barrier. There is no need to prevent the Tatars, and you don't even need to take a look. Brother, let's go out to fish for fun?" Chang Sihao said: "This
How can the city gate be easily opened at that time?" Qin Juexiang said with a smile: "If you don't open the city, you can still go down. The city wall is not straight. With our lightness skills, it is no problem to go up and down." Chang Sihao said: "Don't be too strict.
If you cause trouble, grandpa will scold you again if he finds out."
With one sentence, Qin Juexiang's expression turned gloomy and he lost his voice.
His eyes were straight as if he was thinking about something, and after a while he murmured: "Brother, I saw grandpa lying there yesterday. I seem to have never seen those wrinkles on his face. I have the impression that he shouldn't
That's how he is, in my heart he will always be high-spirited, talking and laughing loudly, with a voice as loud as a bell. No one in this world can defeat him, no one can hurt him. When he sees me, his eyebrows should always be
He stood with his eyes wide open, but he looked like that yesterday... Brother, why do you think people grow old..."
Chang Sihao couldn't answer, and knew he didn't have to answer. He just held his shoulders and stayed with him silently, looking lonely.
The autumn wind was blowing brightly, and the flags were flying. The two of them just stood on the top of the city, watching the Yuhe River lapping at both sides of the bank and rolling southward. They were speechless for a long time.
Qin Juexiang gathered his thoughts and said: "I heard that I went to Shuozhou. How did General Yan and the others discuss it? Is it impossible to go and save him?" Chang Sihao shook his head. Qin Juexiang hugged his shoulders and turned around, leaning on
On the battlements: "I don't think the soldiers are too big, because the soldiers here are guarding Datong. If you help Shuozhou and win, it's easy to say, but if you lose, it will be a big crime. That's called leaving the post without permission. This gang on the border
Soldiers don't seek merit, but seek no faults. If they live one more day, they will receive one more day's pay. If I call him, he is trying to steal his job. He has no choice but to fight hard. If he doesn't fight here, who would go out and cause trouble?
Him? He can’t hide yet!”
Looking at the floating clouds in the sky, Chang Sihao remembered that when he accompanied Mr. Cheng to defend the city, there was no food and no reinforcements. If the defenders from other places could come to support, they would not be so miserable as the enemy soldiers killed the city and destroyed the city.
Probably this is the mentality.
More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye, the golden wind swept by, the September chrysanthemums bloomed, the weather became morning and evening, and gradually became cooler.
It was much better. When asked about the military situation, no one dared to talk about it. After lunch that day, An Ziteng came over to visit and asked about it again, but An Ziteng still just interrupted. Qin Langchuan rushed up and cursed: "Xi Chen!
You don't know my temper!" An Ziteng had no choice but to pour out everything: "Old man, according to the report from the detective horse, Bozhigude and Sukhbashou won several battles and destroyed the old camp.
The gatekeepers were defeated and refused to fight. Now both sides withdrew their troops and reunited with An Da. Even so, they did not break Shuozhou. They just plundered the surrounding counties and towns while besieging the city.
The village, Shuozhou city defense is solid, there is no problem in defending it, don’t worry, Lawyer Xin said too, you need to rest for your illness, rest peacefully, Commander Yan and us are taking care of the things in the city..."
Qin Langchuan shook his head while listening, and finally said: "According to your point of view, the city should be satisfied if it is not broken, right? The county is not a city? The villagers are not ordinary people? General Yan is afraid of dereliction of duty, so you can't move.
?If we can’t fight a big battle, it’s okay to carry out rear harassment, right?”
An Ziteng said: "Old man, please calm down. I had the same idea, but the third wife, Zhong Jin, has set up camp in Gushan, and there has been no movement. The 20,000 men and horses have to be on guard."
"Oh?" Qin Langchuan responded subconsciously and immediately calmed down a lot. He thought, what is she doing there? To contain Datong's military strength so that I can do whatever I want in the south? Gushan is north of Gudian, in the middle and upper reaches of Yuhe River.
, so far away from Datong, it would only take half a day to send troops over. If she gets closer or even approaches the city, wouldn't the threat be greater? Zhong Jin is a very smart girl and will never do anything meaningless. What is she planning on?
Ghost idea?
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and someone raised his head to greet An Ziteng. Qin Langchuan shouted: "Yu Zhide! What's the matter with you? Do you want to hide it from me?" Yu Zhide appeared with a smile and said: "No way.
Something..." Qin Langchuan said: "Stop talking nonsense! Let's talk!" Yu Zhide glanced at An Ziteng and wanted to arrange it. Qin Langchuan glared at him, and he immediately softened, bowed and said: "Yes, yes.
Old Master, my army is coming..."
Qin Langchuan perked up upon hearing this: "How many miles are there from the city?"
