Chapter 997: When the wind gradually rises, when the wind suddenly stops (Part 1)

In early autumn in Chengdu, strong winds often blow, and the trees with dense leaves are blown by the wind in the courtyard. The wind blows through the windows and into the room. If there are no injuries on the back, this will be a good autumn.

The injury on his back had been there for several days. Although he had been properly medicated and bandaged, the pain still came in waves, and was accompanied by chest tightness caused by lying on the bed for a long time. Qu Longjun moved occasionally, but

I lie down for a long time, and nothing will help.

In the past few days, Qu Longjun has been living in uneasy fear.

Since following Wen Shoubin and arriving in Chengdu, it is not that he has not imagined the current situation: going deep into dangerous situations, having his conspiracy exposed, and encountering all kinds of bad luck after being caught... But for Qu Longjun, a sixteen-year-old girl,

In the past, there weren't many choices.

There is no choice, and in fact there is not much fear.

When she was a child, she had to listen to her parents' arrangements for everything. Before she could grow up, her family was gone. She was sold to Wen Shoubin, and then she learned various skills that a thin horse should master: cooking, embroidery, playing music and chess.

Calligraphy and painting... These things are not glorious to say, but in fact, since she became sensible, her life has been arranged by others.

This kind of life is like being driven down a narrow road. If you are used to it, there is nothing wrong with it. Wen Shoubin is not a good person, but if he really wants to be bad, at least he has already done all his bad things.

I understand. He raised her and married or gave her to someone at some point. If he was really at the end of his rope, he might not be able to care about her, but at least there was nothing to worry about until that day came.

would be too much.

The hurdles in life often appear at unexpected moments.

A few months ago, the news that the Chinese army defeated the Jurchens spread. Wen Shoubin suddenly began to talk to them about some truths, and then arranged for them to come to the southwest. Qu Longjun felt vaguely at a loss, her future was shattered

Already.

After arriving in the southwest and staying for two months, Wen Shoubin began to make friends from all walks of life and gradually began to make plans. Everything seemed to be back on track. But on the night of the 20th, a group of people rushed out of the yard.

Will come in, and danger will come again.

After packing up their things and fleeing, they arrived at the courtyard of the little Chinese military doctor. People were discussing leaving Chengdu. Late at night, Qu Longjun also thought that this would be fine, and that everything would be gone.

I went back, who knew there would be such a bloody scene next.

Wen Shoubin died suddenly, in such an understatement, the other party just pushed him into the fight, and he was in a pool of blood in the blink of an eye, without even leaving a last word.

The fighting in the yard was also sudden, but extremely violent. The explosion shook the room, and the five wounded people lost their lives along with the collapse of the house. Among the wounded, there were even such and such "heroes", and the fighting outside the hospital was

It was just an extremely simple confrontation. People were holding sharp knives and swinging knives at each other. In the blink of an eye, one person fell, and in the blink of an eye, another person fell... She hadn't had time to understand this, she hadn't understood the fighting, and she hadn't understood this death.

He also fell down.

When she opened her eyes, she fell into the hands of the Black Flag Army. In the past, Wen Shoubin, who although not kind but actually provided her with a roof over her head, died in an understatement.

The sixteen-year-old girl was like a snail with its shell peeled off, thrown on the wilderness. She had long been accustomed to the evil of Shou Bin, but she still had no clear idea of ​​the evil of the Black Flag Army and the evil in this world.

But presumably, it would be something a hundred times more sinister than Wen Shoubin.

She recalled the scene of blood dripping from the tip of the young man's knife in the darkness of the yard...



There was always the smell of medicine and the sound of people floating in the yard outside the house. In the morning, the sun always poured in from the half-opened window. The autumn wind blew by, making her feel as if she had no clothes on.

Lying on the white bed, her back always hurts and her chest feels uncomfortable. If she could move at will, she would like to curl up into a ball or hide in a corner where no one else can see her.

The day after she was injured, someone came over to interrogate her about many things. Her relationship with Wen Shoubin, the purpose of coming to the southwest, etc., she originally wanted to choose something to talk about, but when the other person mentioned her father's name

After that, Qu Longjun knew that there was no chance of luck this time. Although his father died because of the black flag, he must have killed many black flag people in the process of sending troops. As his daughter, she is now fighting for

They come to the southwest to cause trouble in revenge. How can they be easily let go if they fall into their hands?

After a few days of living with this understanding, on the afternoon of the 23rd, a young doctor named Long Aotian appeared in her room with a stern face, holding a notebook and asking about her injuries.

He answered ten times, and his body was so nervous that he didn't dare to move.

The little doctor seemed innocent in appearance, but that morning she had already seen his scheming and acting skills, as well as his ruthlessness and ruthlessness in killing people. She still doesn't quite understand the reason why the Black Flag Army left her alive, but

Seeing this little doctor, I vaguely guessed that I was probably going to be forced into some conspiracy again.

As for what will happen specifically, I can't think clearly for a while, and I don't dare to speculate too much. This young man grew up in a dangerous place in the southwest, so he developed a despicable and ruthless character at such an age.

Said, even if people like Huang Nazhong and Yan Ying are played by him, how can a woman like herself resist? If he is unhappy, who knows what kind of torture methods will be waiting for him.

.

"It takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones." After asking about his condition, Long Aotian said, "But your injury is not serious and it shouldn't last that long. There is a shortage of people in the health center recently. I will come to take care of you. You

Have a good rest, don't mess around, hurry up and get out of here. That's it."

That afternoon, the other party finished these words to explain. During the whole process, Qu Longjun could feel that the other party was not in a high mood and frowned the whole time. She was frightened by the other party's warning to "rest well and don't mess around."

I don't dare to move. As for "get better quickly and get out of here", maybe I want to wait until I get better before I deal with myself, or I want to be forced into some conspiracy.

In this way, the next day, the young military doctor brought her three meals a day and boiled medicine. What surprised her most was that he came over in the morning and cleaned the chamber pot under the bed for her - making her feel

Seeing that such a cruel and ruthless person could be so informal, perhaps it was because of this that he had no trouble scheming and killing people - these things made her even more afraid of him.

In the next few days, in order to go to the toilet and get out of bed less often, Qu Longjun subconsciously asked himself to eat less and drink less water. After all, the little military doctor was not so careful. He only saw that she couldn't finish eating on the 25th.

With half a bowl of porridge, he muttered: "Are you transformed from a bug..." Qu Longjun lay on the bed and pressed himself into the pillow, his body stiff and he dared not speak.

On the twenty-sixth day of her arrival, she struggled to go to the toilet while holding something. When she came back, she fell and slightly opened the wound on her back. After the other party found out, she found a female doctor and did the surgery for her.

After cleaning and bandaging, he still treated her with a straight face.

This is a small episode during my recovery period.

***************

The interrogation voice was soft and not too oppressive.

"...You killed more than ten people in one night, are you happy now?"

"Well, I'm fine."

"Before the incident happened, I guessed that there was something wrong with the person named Huang. I didn't report it, and secretly sold medicine to others. On the other hand, I secretly monitored Wen Shoubin for a month, found out the matter, and didn't tell anyone. Now I'm still helping that person

Miss Qu as your guarantee, you know her father died in our hands, right? You even monitored her feelings..."

"No feelings..." The young man muttered, "I just don't think she is that bad..."

"You are aware of the violation of discipline, right? This is called fishing law enforcement."

"I'm not fishing, but there's no evidence that they did anything bad. They just like to talk nonsense..."

"If you know there is a problem, you should report it. If you don't report it, they find you and cause so many things. You also guaranteed it. The boss asked me to ask you whether you accept the punishment."

"...Just accept the punishment. Anyway, I feel good."

With a wave of his hand, a loud bang hit the boy's head, and he couldn't avoid it.

"You have to go back to school after September, you know that?"

"Well, let's go to school."

"Before the incident happened, it was really difficult to say that the person named Huang would definitely do bad things. You didn't report it, so we couldn't say anything to you. But you took action directly at night and became a yard man. Your brother said that this must also be subjective on your part.

Wish. Your father asked me to educate you, and I can’t think of any good way besides beating you up. However, you won’t be allowed to go to the tournament.”

"Ah... I just want to be a bruiser..."

"Still talking back!"

He waved his hand and dodged away.

"...Okay. If you don't want to do it, then I'll do it."

"Besides, since I have been out for so long, since I have gone crazy enough, I have to finish from beginning to end. Aren't you kind enough to vouch for this young lady? She was stabbed in the back. Did we provide the medicine and the room? Did we provide the doctor who cared for her?

Are we the nurses?"

"This... even the criminals we captured are our fault..."

"You still talk back. You are different!"

"Okay, if it's different, it's different..."

"You handle your affairs for me. Since you have given the guarantee, go and help at the health center. The care of the little girl is yours. Don't bother others. When her injuries are healed and her hands and tail are taken care of, you can

Go back to Zhangcun to go to school."

"Ah, why should I take care of..."

"Her father has killed our people and was killed by us. If you say she is not bad, do you know what she is thinking? You are compassionate and want to save her once and vouch for her. This is your business.

Right? What if she is resentful and doesn’t want to live anymore, and stabs a doctor with a knife? Oh, just make a guarantee and throw her over here, and ask others to help you put her in place. That won’t work.

...So you deal with her well. Once the matter is dealt with, the matter in Chengdu will be over. Since you dare to accept the punishment as a bachelor, then do so."

The young man's face wrinkled up: "Well...it's not that I don't recognize it, but why are you talking about it, sister in the first year of junior high school..."

"What about the task that Mr. Ning gave me? Do you have any objections? Or do you want to fight with me?"

"...I think you are just taking revenge on her for coming here to seduce my brother..."

"say what?"

"It's nothing...just accept the punishment. I love peace and don't fight."

****************

The rules regarding punishment have been finalized in this way.

Ning Ji didn't have too many thoughts about losing his job at the martial arts tournament and taking care of a stupid woman. In his mind, he thought it was because the first sister and his brother were colluding and wanted to see his own jokes.

On the other hand, he is just an innocent child in his teens who participates in fighting and killing all day long. His parents have long been worried about him and they are well aware of it. In the past, they would always find reasons to look at him.

He took advantage of the situation and started fighting with more than ten Jianghu people in the middle of the night. He said he was forced to have no choice but in fact during the fighting moment, he was repeatedly jumping between life and death. Many times, the exchange of blades was just an instinctive response.

If something goes wrong, you might be the one who dies.

It is a good thing that he survived and seems to be coping calmly, but this matter has indeed reached the psychological bottom line of the family. My father asked Sister Chuyi to come over to handle it, and he let everyone watch a joke. This was considered a toast.

However, if he refuses to drink a toast, it will be quite uncomfortable when he is actually punished with a drink, such as asking his mother to come over and cry with him, or spreading rumors to several younger brothers and sisters that "your second brother is going to make a fool of himself"

"Dead", which made several children howl incessantly - with his father's cruel heart and hands, and his eldest brother who has inherited his father's true legacy, it is not impossible for him to do such a thing.

For this reason, after a little trial and error, he readily accepted the matter. Taking care of a stupid woman who was injured in the back was indeed a bit unheroic, but he was able to bend and stretch, and did not stick to trivial matters, making his brother and sister-in-law who were colluding with each other angry to death. In this way

Think about it, and cheer yourself up in private while having fun.

When it comes to taking care of people in the ward, Ning Ji doesn't have much mysophobia or psychological barriers. Field medical care is used to seeing all kinds of amputated limbs, intestines and internal organs all year round. When many soldiers can't take care of themselves, it's natural to take care of them nearby.

I have done it many times, decoction and feeding, running errands and cleaning myself, dealing with defecation... Therefore, although Sister Chuyi talked about it with a look of watching the fun, this kind of thing was very difficult for Ning Ji himself.

Say, it's really nothing remarkable.

Of course, when you actually get started, some things will happen that are somewhat different from those on the battlefield.

The other party particularly hates him, or is afraid of him, which makes him feel very unhappy.

It seems that after what happened that night, the little bitch regarded himself as a very vicious villain. Every time he passed by, the other person would shrink back. If his back was not injured, he could only lie upright, maybe under the quilt.

She shrunk into a quail, and her voice was completely different from usual when he spied on her. Although Ning Ji was young, he could still distinguish such reactions clearly.

Are you kidding me? Am I a bad guy? What’s so scary about me!

You are the bad guys, okay! You and that old bitch like Wen Shoubin came to the southwest to cause trouble and do bad things! You live in that shabby yard and talk all day long about what those bad guys say! I look like this

He's decent, but he doesn't look like a bad guy!

What's more, I saved your life in that yard a few days ago!

Ning Ji was a little angry at this ungrateful little bitch who couldn't tell good from bad. But he also wanted to save face and didn't bother to say anything verbally - there was nothing to say. Of course he couldn't do anything to spy on her.

He confessed, so speaking of it, he and the little bitch were just a chance encounter, and they had not known each other before.

In this way, if the little bitch didn't give him a good look, he didn't bother to give the little bitch a good look. Originally, considering the physical inconvenience of the other party, he had thought about whether to feed her and help her go to the toilet. , but since the atmosphere was not harmonious, it didn’t matter after thinking about it. After all, the injury was not serious, and it was not that she couldn’t get out of bed at all. She and I were different men and women, and her brother and sister-in-law were working together to see the joke. What a joke. One thing is worse than one thing less.

Of course, when she fell down in the corridor on the twenty-sixth day, Ning Ji felt a little guilty. Mainly, she fell a little embarrassed and her chest was flattened, which made him want to laugh. This kind of want to laugh.

The impulsiveness made him feel that he was not a gentleman, so he asked Aunt Gu from the health center to take care of her every day. Although Sister Chuyi said that he should take care of her by himself, she didn't care too much about such special things.

.

As for the fact that the other party ate a little more after Aunt Gu helped her to the hut, Ning Ji realized it later and probably understood the reason. Women are hypocritical, and doctors don't understand the principles of parents.

After leaving the tournament, the hustle and bustle of Chengdu seemed a little further away from him. He didn't care. He had gained a lot in Chengdu this time. After experiencing such exciting fighting, traveling around the world was something he would do in the future.

There is no need to think too much now. Even on the twenty-seventh day, when Crow Mouth Yao Shubin came to him to eat hot pot, he talked about the movements of all parties in the city, the internal strife of a group of Confucian scholars, the masters who appeared in the martial arts competition, and even the various armies.

Ning Ji didn't seem to care about the gathering of elites.

"Huh, I've seen it a long time ago."

"Oh? How do you see it?" Yao Shubin looked curious.

"I won't tell you."

****************

As time passed by late July, clouds began to gather again.

After the chaos of July 20th, the topic of the military parade officially surfaced. The Chinese Army began to release invitations to the military parade in the city. Not only the people in the city who originally supported the Chinese Army received the invitations, but even people living in the city at this time received the invitations.

Great scholars and celebrities from all over the world were also formally invited.

Confucian scholars in the city debated for several days on the topic of whether to go that day or not. People who had not received the invitations criticized it vigorously. Some Confucian scholars who had received the invitations called on everyone not to go and support them, but many people also said

Well, since I came to Chengdu, I wanted to witness everything. Even if I have to write an article to refute it in the future, people can speak more believably on the spot. If I have made up my mind not to participate in doctrine, why did I have to come to Chengdu before?

Woolen cloth?

Everyone was arguing again in the newspaper, which was very lively.



The sky seemed a little gloomy, perhaps because the overly lush leaves blocked too much light.

In the courtyard of the inn called Xiangwu Guild Hall, Yang Tiehuai sat upright, reading the articles on the newsprint, slightly lost in thought. There seemed to be curses coming from the air in the distance. After a while, he heard a bang, and he didn't know who it was.

Stones were thrown from outside the courtyard, and shouts and curses could be heard in the streets.

His eldest disciple Chen Shiguang was sitting across from the desk and also heard the noise. He looked at the invitation on the desk and the teacher on the desk and said in a deep voice: "Heiqi is despicable and shameless. He kills people with a borrowed knife, which is deplorable. But students

I think that the way of heaven is clear and will not allow such evil people to gain power. The teacher only needs to stay away from him temporarily and leave Chengdu first, and things will slowly find a turn for the better."

Yang Tiehuai looked at the disciple calmly and said nothing.

After arriving in Chengdu, he was one of the most fiery-tempered scholars. At first, he wrote articles on newsprint to refute various actions of the Chinese army. After he went to the streets to argue with people and was hit on the head with a stone, these actions changed.

He became even more radical. For the turmoil on July 20th, he secretly collaborated and contributed a lot. But when the riot started, the Chinese Army directly sent a letter warning him. He hesitated all night, but in the end he could not

I made up my mind to take action. Now, I have been carried out by all the Confucian scholars in the city and I have become the most scolded person.

At this point, the principle of the purifier self-purifying is actually no longer feasible. The more the incident fails, the more the participants need to find someone to take the blame. As for whose specific blame it is, it no longer matters.

After all, if there is no such person, how can the foolish men and women forgive themselves?

The wound on his forehead has healed, but after taking off the bandage, an ugly scab was left. The old man's serious face contrasted with the ugly scab. Every time he appeared in front of people, he showed a strange aura. Others might think

He sneered in his heart, and he also knew that others would sneer in his heart, but because of this knowledge, the expression on his face became more stubborn and tough. This toughness also set off the blood scab, showing that others knew that he also knew.

Come on in a confrontational manner.

"...the teacher knows what he knows."

It took a long time before he said these words.

The noise and abuse outside the hospital became more harsh from a distance.

****************

On July 29, the Jurchen prisoners who were brought here were settled in the military camp in the western suburbs of Chengdu.

After taking a walk in the evening, Wanyan Qingjue looked through the fence of the camp and saw a familiar figure walking by not far away - he carefully identified it twice - it was Zuo Wenhuai who had punched him in Changsha. This Zuo Wen

Huai has a delicate appearance. He looked like a rabbit that time, but now he is wearing a black Chinese army uniform, his figure is straight and his eyebrows are like sword blades. When he looks over, he still has the awe of a soldier.

"Master Zuo! Master Zuo——"

Wanyan Qingjue held up the railing and waved this way.

He is one of the highest-ranking nobles in the Jurchen Army. He was captured once before, and he is currently assisting the Chinese Army in managing the high-ranking prisoners. Therefore, when he occasionally does something out of the ordinary in the past few days, the nearby Chinese soldiers did not immediately

Come and stop him.

Zuo Wenhuai and several soldiers around him all looked this way, then he raised his eyebrows and came this way: "Oh, isn't this the young prince Wanyan? He looks good, has he been eating well lately?

"

"Master Zuo, I have something to tell you."

"...Having good food and drinks in prison is not a good sign. Aren't you afraid that what you are eating is a decapitation meal?"

Because of Yu Mingzhou's incident, Zuo Wenhuai didn't like Wanyan Qingjue, so he said such words to scare him. Wanyan Qingjue's eyes were serious, and she almost stretched out her hand from the fence to grab him: "Young Master Zuo! I have something serious to do.

It’s good for you... it’s good for the Chinese Army, please listen... you know my identity, there’s no harm in hearing it, it’s good, it’s good...”

Wanyan Qingjue emphasized this. Zuo Wenhuai stood not far from the railing and looked at him quietly. After a while, he said: "Say."

Wanyan Qingjue looked around, as if she wanted to chat privately, but Zuo Wenhuai waved his hand directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it here, or forget it."

"Okay, okay." Wanyan Qingjue nodded, "Master Zuo, I know your identity, you also know my identity, and you also know the identities of these people in the camp. Everyone has a family in the Jin Kingdom, and every household has a family.

It has something to do with it. According to the rules of the Kingdom of Jin, if you are defeated and still alive, you can redeem it with gold and silver..."

"That's not our rule."

"But it can be considered." Wanyan Qingjue said, "I know that after the defeat of Xixia, you also asked them to ransom people. I was captured for the first time and was also ransomed. These people in the camp today have some identities.

You know, but you are not familiar with the Kingdom of Jin. As long as you can go back, you can get far more benefits than you think. I have written a list here, which is something you didn't know before. I know you can

When you see Mr. Ning, you hand it over to him for me...hand it over to him for me..."

Zuo Wenhuai looked at him: "The military parade didn't say I would kill you, are you so scared?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, but we have to pay it anyway. We are willing to pay more so that you can have more chips. Maybe... everyone can go back quickly." Wanyan Qingjue's expression was quite calm and she smiled at this time, "

The Han people are not easy to kill. I know that since the Tang Dynasty, prisoners have been sacrificed to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. We were defeated in an upright manner on the battlefield. There is no need for you to kill us. If you kill us, you can only continue to die...

…”

Zuo Wenhuai was silent for a moment: "I quite like to fight to the death..."

"But it's not necessary...it's not necessary..." Wanyan Qingjue looked at him over there, "Please pass it on, it's not harmful to you anyway..."

"...bring it to you."

Zuo Wenhuai finally nodded, and Wanyan Qingjue immediately took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them out. Zuo Wenhuai did not accept the paper. The soldier on the side came over. Zuo Wenhuai said: "Get a bag and put this

Seal the things and forward them to the secretariat, saying that these are the conditions that Young Prince Wanyan wants Mr. Ning to consider... Are you satisfied? In fact, in the Chinese Army, there is not much difference between you and me."

Wanyan Qingjue nodded, took a breath, and took two steps back: "I remembered something about Yu Mingzhou, Mr. Zuo, if you want to know, after the military parade..."

Before he could finish his words, Zuo Wenhuai on the other side of the fence had his eyes darkened, and a sinister murderous aura was rising: "If you mention this name again, I will personally send you on your way after the military parade!"

Wanyan Qingjue shut up and waved his hands. Zuo Wenhuai stared at him for a moment, then turned and left.

The sky was tilting to the west, and Wanyan Qingjue stood there in the fence for a moment, exhaling a long breath. Compared to other Jurchen prisoners of war in the camp, his mentality was actually slightly calmer. After all, he had been captured once before.

And he was exchanged back. He had also met Mr. Ning before. The other party was interested in interests and was not easy to kill. As long as he cooperated with him to complete the process of offering prisoners, the other party would not even be interested in humiliating himself as prisoners.

It's not high - because the Han people value being a gentleman.

Of course, no matter how low the risk is, they don't want to take it. People are eager to go home early, especially those of them who have a big family and have enjoyed it for half their life. No matter how much gold and silver they have to pay in exchange for Han slaves, their

The family will find a way. Therefore, these days, he has been thinking of ways to deliver words to Mr. Ning.

He thought about the upcoming military parade.

Maybe after the military parade, the other party will call him over again. Of course, they will say a few words to him during the period, teasing him for being arrested again, etc., and then of course they will also show the power of the Chinese army. I will be more sincere and fearful, and behave more humble.

Let him be satisfied, and everyone may be able to go home early - a man can bend and stretch, and as the highest status among them all, it is not shameful for him to suffer some humiliation...
