Two hundred and thirteen people can get up and do it
After the Wuhe Escort Bureau sent out escorts to help the Jinzhou State Army rescue the besieged people, the Bingyuan City Guards Yamen, who originally wanted to send troops to the compound, wanted to follow the example of the capital and build a well-defended imperial city in Bingyuan City.
A city within a city. However, after Jinzhou General Song Zhiwen learned the news, he gave up his plan to guard the city's Yamen.
If Bingyuan City cannot hold on, how many people can be protected by a single compound?
These days, most of the cars in the escort office have been requisitioned, and most of the escorts are stuck in the escort office with nothing to do. Those who want to earn some money can go and get a lot of money for those wealthy families or merchants who store grain.
Coupled with the monthly payment from the escort agency, many escorts have a lot more money.
Wei Changpan and Liu Ziyi shared a pound of roasted chestnuts and went their separate ways. He walked alone on the streets of Bingyuan City, asked people the way to the compound of Wuhe Escort Bureau, and then walked slowly.
He hadn't walked so slowly for a long time. In the northern grassland, even the few times when he wasn't jolting on horseback, he was half asleep and half awake. At the slightest sign of trouble, he would get up and draw his sword to alert the surroundings. Such days have passed for a long time.
At this time, I felt overwhelmed by slowing down and wandering around, and felt uncomfortable wherever I put my hands and feet.
Finally, when we arrived at the main entrance of Wuhe Escort Bureau's compound, the two escorts who were guarding the gate in broad daylight saw Wei Changpan and thought they looked familiar, but they couldn't remember who it was for a moment. However, Wei Changpan took out the Wuhe Escort Agency access badge and it was indeed genuine.
, let him in first.
"I remembered! Isn't this the person who caused Lao Gu's son to collapse on the bed?"
"He is a person who was brought back by escort Zhang after he retired from the escort a few months ago. He may have some martial arts skills, but if he is to lead people into battle, then how can he help when he is not even a year old yet?"
"It's unfair that Xiao Gu is so paralyzed. He's so old that he's going to be useless. I heard that Dr. Ni originally wanted to try to save both of his legs, but this guy decided to let him operate on Xiao Gu.
"
"It's too bad that this guy is still walking around like he's okay. Little Gu is such a good person. He will have to sit and lie down for the rest of his life. I'm afraid it will be a bit sad to be next to him."
"Everything is unpredictable..."
With his back against the wall of a room in the compound, the discussion of the two bodyguards fell into Wei Changpan's ears. At first, they told some embellished facts, but later they made up many stories that made him laugh or cry, such as that he was
There are wild speculations such as the illegitimate son of the head escort who is living abroad and so on.
Gu Sheng was paralyzed. This was what he had expected. After all, his whole body had been trampled by horse hooves. It would be incredible if he could still stand up.
Wei Changpan now listened to the gossip of others as a joke, just to see what outrageous things these idlers could come up with in their minds.
At such an age, he still doesn't understand many things, but there is only one thing he sees clearly.
The reason why life is unsatisfactory in this world is that everything depends on the opinions of others, and if everything is like this, why should we do it?
Yu Wuhe was not familiar with the routes in the compound of the Escort Bureau, but he was still able to find people to ask for directions. Soon he found out where Gu Sheng was recovering from his injuries, which was in a small, single-family courtyard in the compound of the Escort Bureau.
, the chief escort arranged for the Gu family and his son to stay here for good health.
He pushed open the courtyard door, and the rusty copper
The bolt made a squeaking sound, and a voice came from the small courtyard house, "Dad, why did you come back so early today?"
The courtyard is spacious, bright and clean. Firewood and coal are piled as high as a hill in the corner. Apparently someone from the escort agency thought that Gu Sheng, Gu Shengyang and his son could not do heavy work, so even the larger pieces of wood were chopped and stacked in the corner of the courtyard.
, Wei Changpan opened the cover of the vegetable cellar and looked down. The cellar was full of vegetables.
Three houses, the father and son have such a place to live. It has to be said that Wu He Escort takes good care of their own escorts. Wei Changpan saw that the disabled and old escorts of Wu He Escorts live a comfortable life.
, I hope the father and son will also be happy.
Hesitantly opened the door, and saw that the furnishings in the room were sparse, with a few pieces of furniture scattered in the empty room, which made the whole room look unpopular.
"Dad, close the door quickly. The cold wind is pouring in and it will take a while for the heating to build up."
A bright red satin quilt squirmed and complained. Wei Changpan was not less angry when he heard the familiar voice, and his heart became warm, so he took two steps forward.
"It's more expensive and more expensive to burn charcoal in the house if the door is always open. I have told you many times but you still don't listen. This prodigal man..." The man facing the wall muttered and turned around.
It was clearly visible that the man's lower body was completely unable to exert any strength from the waist down. He leaned on one arm and supported the wall and turned over. When he saw the face of the visitor, he said happily, "Brother Wei?!"
"It's inconvenient to get up now, so I won't come to greet you. I'll pull up a stool and sit next to it. My father has placed the stove next to it. This is the only warm place in the whole house." Gu Sheng saw Wei Changpan's sunken face.
With both cheeks, he said softly, "Brother Wei, thank you for your hard work on this trip north to the grassland."
"Isn't this back?" Wei Changpan rummaged through his arms and took out a small oil paper bag, "I've kept the roasted chestnuts in your arms until they got cold. I peel them for you and eat them while they're hot."
After a short while, all that was left of the fried chestnuts wrapped in oil paper was a pile of empty shells at the foot of the bed. Gu Sheng burped like a roaring tiger and roared with satisfaction, patting his belly with his still mobile arm, "Been beaten."
After the barbarians besieged the city, they sold roasted chestnuts in the city with this taste. This is the first time I have eaten them since winter."
Then there was a moment of silence, the only sound in the room was the crackling of the fire.
"What fun things are there on the grassland? We have seen the barbarian horses and cavalry, but when it comes to the scenery, all we see is the blood of the people around us and in front of us." Gu Sheng muttered, and then looked at Wei Changpan with a sudden look in his eyes.
It lit up, "Tell me about the scenery on the grassland, Brother Wei?"
"I went to the grassland to do something secretive, so I can't tell you casually." Wei Changpan scratched the back of his head.
On the grassland, they were either escaping on horseback or waiting to escape on horseback all day long. Even if they had the scenery, they had no time to see it, and even if they saw it, no one would express their feelings. At that time, all they could think about every day was how much distance they had traveled today.
, with the foot strength of the barbarians' horses, can they follow the traces? Also, if the remaining food is completely eaten in this meal, where will the next meal be?
I can't even fill my belly, and no matter what kind of romantic scholar I am, I can't recite romantic poems and songs.
"That's right. Barbarians are raging in Jinzhou right now. How could you go to the grassland to enjoy the scenery?" Gu Sheng said apologetically, "Staying in this room makes people stupid. I don't know when I will be replaced by the old man.
Dad took me out for a walk and said we are the oldest
Yao had a man who was proficient in mechanics and could create a cart that could be moved by people sitting on it and holding the wheels. I wonder if there are such capable men in Jinzhou..."
Wei Changpan groaned and couldn't find the words to respond. Finally, after going around and around, he came to the topic he least wanted to mention. What he was most afraid of was that Gu Sheng would be devastated by it.
Gu Sheng noticed his embarrassment and punched him twice with his still moving arm. Then he met his eyes and said solemnly, "Whether I go to save the people who are surrounded or change the charging position, it's me, Gu Sheng."
What does it have to do with you if you are willing to do it? If you really want to say that something is wrong, you and Uncle Qi should make a decisive decision, otherwise my life is uncertain and cannot be saved. It is just two legs. My life is still there, and there is nothing.
It's okay to say."
"But you are also a martial arts practitioner, so you should know..."
Wei Changpan knew what having two broken legs meant to a martial artist. Inspiring stories about one-armed and one-legged martial arts masters are widely circulated in the world, but if you want to say who is paraplegic and can practice martial arts all the way,
But there is none. Not to mention Gu Sheng’s mediocre martial arts talent...
To be able to reach the third level of martial arts at this age, Wei Changpan has experienced a life-and-death fight like no other martial artist of his age. As for the medicinal materials used on him, they have become the icing on the cake. If he becomes hemiplegic at this moment, he can only fight with him from now on.
With the bed as your companion, it is probably inevitable that you will become depressed.
"'A journey to martial arts can be achieved by anyone in the world.' Isn't this what our senior martial artist Yao said?" Gu Sheng showed contempt and curled his lips, "It's just two legs, I, Gu Sheng, still have
You have two arms and a big head, why can’t you practice martial arts? Or is it that you, Wei Changpan, look down on our old Gu family?"
After hearing Gu Sheng's words, Wei Changpan breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was obviously a person who could not be discouraged after suffering such a heavy blow, so why should he pity him.
Some people, even if they are missing arms and legs, are still fully human; some people, even if they have even a hair on their heads, are still intact.
"The worst thing is that if you don't practice your leg skills, you will concentrate on your fist and palm skills. Even if you are walking with one leg, you may not be able to walk out on a bright road." Although Wei Changpan's understanding of martial arts is limited, it is no longer Gu Sheng's.
If you can achieve it, "it will never be a mistake to make full use of your own strengths and avoid your weaknesses."
These are the words he found out from his guts. No matter how many words he was asked to say, he would not be able to say them out.
"You can do it." Wei Changpan raised his hand and wanted to pat Gu Sheng. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find a good spot, so he simply rubbed his head and finished. "There are always people in the world who can do it."
Even if the predecessors didn’t do it, then you, Gu Sheng, will do it.”
"I'm borrowing Brother Wei's good words." Gu Sheng grinned, "When I become successful and famous, you come to Wuhe Escort Agency, and I'll treat you to a drink at the best restaurant in Jinzhou!"
"It's a deal."
....
Outside the ajar door, old Gu Shengyang, who was holding many things in his hands, stood silently for an unknown amount of time. Listening to the conversation of the two young men coming from inside the house, he burst into tears.
