Chapter 176
During the whole process, Qin Nuo no longer wanted to recollect.
I only remember that in that half an hour, my whole person was more nervous than running away alone in the snow, more exciting than when the palace was seized, and even more than seeing Emperor Beishuo on the hill a few days ago. Being bombarded to death is still trembling.
When the huge wound was sutured with a needle and thread, Qin Nuo directly slumped to the ground. He wanted to vomit, but he didn't even have the strength to vomit.
Yan Chang and Yao Xingxu are not much better than him, although they don't need to do it themselves, the visual stimulation and mental pressure they receive are also huge.
Fortunately, Yao Xingxu is well versed in some medical techniques. He helped Qin Nuo during the entire operation, including locating and suturing the internal organs. Yan Chang supported it, and according to Qin Nuo's instructions, he smeared the wound with alcohol and sprinkled it with golden sore powder.
After finishing all this, Yao Xingxu tremblingly moved his hand to the end of Pei Tuo's nose, feeling the faint breath, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He wanted to take out the cotton cloth from Pei Tuo's mouth, but he couldn't tear it.
Just now, Pei Tuo fainted from the pain and woke up several times. He didn't make a sound. Even if he was stuffed with cotton cloth, his teeth were bleeding. Now even in a coma, he is still gritting his teeth.
It's not time to breathe a sigh of relief. Whether you can hold it through next depends on Pei Tuo's vitality.
Sitting on the ground, Qin Nuo wanted to raise his hand to wipe it, but found that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand. I didn't close my eyes for a few days and nights, plus this specious operation. Qin Nuo was almost exhausted.
After Yan Chang helped Pei Tuo put on the golden sore medicinal powder, he turned to ask the emperor, but he turned to see the emperor lying on the ground, not knowing the personnel.
He was shocked, and hurriedly went to Qin Nuo to check, only to find that he was extremely tired and fell asleep.
With a wry smile, Yan Chang shook his head. When they were on the battlefield, they had gone through several days and nights of fierce battle, and such a situation would happen. In fact, he has been shocked enough that the emperor who has been pampered since childhood can support him.
Yao Xingxu looked at the unconscious emperor, and whispered: "If you relax like this after being extremely tired, you are not good at martial arts cultivation and willpower."
"What kind of martial arts does the emperor want?" Yan Chang glared at him, put the things in his hand aside, and then hugged Qin Nuo up.
Looking around, this damn camp was terribly shabby and could only leave the Emperor General here.
Yao Xingxu looked at the two people lying side by side, hesitatingly asked: "Is it appropriate to put the emperor and Pei Tuo together?"
Yan Chang rolled his eyes: "Do you want to put the emperor on the ground? Pei Tuo can't move in the current situation. It's just a moment."
Yao Xingxu sighed.
Rubbing Pei Tuo's forehead with the boiled and cooled snow water. Yao Xingxu couldn't help but float to the side, falling on Qin Nuo's sleepy face.
Snowy skin and dark hair, long eyelashes, really look like a girl. He didn't dare to look more and looked away. Hesitated for a while, couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
"Yan Chang, why did you say that the emperor could do those things just now?"
Recalling the situation just now, Yao Xingxu still has lingering fears. He has been a killer on the battlefield for several years. It is commonplace for him and his colleagues to be injured and healed, but he has never had such a mysterious diagnosis and treatment.
Cut the human belly open, and then... the doctors in the former army didn't dare to do this.
Yan Chang was holding a piece of dough, sitting at the foot of the bed like a hamster, and muttered, "Do you want someone to eat?" Recalling the situation just now, his stomach was upset.
He reluctantly put aside the food, "The emperor, General Pei also mentioned it before. What he said at the time, the emperor seemed to be born with a lot of things, unusual."
"What is born to know."
"Maybe praise the emperor for being smart."
"This way, if the medical officers in the army can do it, I don't know how many brothers' lives can be saved." Yao Xingxu sighed, "I see that the emperor used just now has no mysterious medicinal equipment, ordinary medical officers. I should be able to do it too." He was fascinated.
"Maybe I can ask the emperor to upload it in the future, and I will talk to the general when I go back." Yan Chang whispered.
Finally holding on to eat a piece of dough, he stood up and clapped his hands.
"You watch here first, I'll go outside to replace Chen Changan on patrol."
************
After drowsiness woke up, Qin Nuo felt his eyes sore, as if his upper and lower eyelids were stuck with glue. He couldn't open it anyhow. He stared at him for a long time, finally opened his eyes and cast them in the direction of the light.
I am in a dimly lit space. The walls and ceiling on all sides have rounded arcs. The color of blue and gray is a tent. By the way, I am still on the boundary of Beishuo!
The road to escape with wind and snow, the chasing soldiers, and Pei Tuo whose life is hanging by a thread...
Qin Nuo woke up with a sharp spirit.
Then he turned his head and saw Pei Tuo's very familiar face.
Uh... why are they so close? In fact, he was lying next to Pei Tuo in his suit, with a faint smell of blood and the bitter smell of golden sore medicine lingering around his nose.
There was a cloak over him, which belonged to Yan Chang.
Qin Nuo sat up and looked around. Only then did he remember that after he had performed Pei Tuo's operation, he was exhausted, and almost lost his mind as soon as he sat on the ground.
Yan Chang should have moved himself to this place, these shabby camps, only this place has a bed of hay. I can only squeeze Ji Zhu and Pei Tuo, but fortunately this haystack is quite spacious.
Qin Nuo opened his cloak, wanted to go down, and then looked back at Pei Tuo's face.
It was still gentle, and then stretched out his hand to press on his forehead.
Fortunately, although it is still hot, the temperature is already lower than what felt yesterday.
Sure enough, the perseverance and mental power of martial arts people are far better than ordinary people. Putting them in the place in the previous life, such a simple and rude operation, most of the patients can't support it.
It's just that can't take it lightly for the time being. The subsequent blood loss and infection are difficult problems, and it depends on the situation in the next two or three days... was thinking about it, and suddenly felt itchy in palm.
It was Pei Tuo who happened to wake up, his eyelashes trembling and rubbing in his palm.
Qin Nuo quickly retracted his hand and said with a smile, "You are awake."
Pei Tuo stared at his hand and landed on his face again. He looked away for a while, and hummed.
His cheeks couldn't help being flushed, but quickly turned white, his eyes dimmed.
Qin Nuo was full of calmness. He didn't even notice the entanglement in his heart, and jumped off the bed.
At this time, when the door curtain moved, Yao Xingxu came in with a basket of firewood. Seeing that Qin Nuo was already up, he said with joy: "The emperor, you are awake!"
He quickly put down the basket, took the cloak that Qin Nuo handed over, put it aside, and said, "Chen Changan has cooked the porridge, and it will be brought in later. The emperor has a drink first. Yan Chang has taken someone to investigate the situation nearby.
When walked closer, saw Pei Tuo also wake up, and was overjoyed.
Yan Chang and these few people still have the energy to go hunting, Qin Nuo thought about it and asked, "How long have I slept?"
"The emperor has been in a coma for a day and a night. Fortunately, Yan Chang and I have tried the pulse of the emperor, and there is nothing wrong with it, otherwise it would be really scary." Yao Xingxu smiled.
After sleeping for so long, I was really exhausted.
During this day and night, Yan Chang and others took turns to rest. They were used to the hard life on the battlefield, and recovered from a short rest. Today, they have taken turns to look around and search for food.
Knowing that Qin Nuo woke up, Pei Tuo also retreated, and everyone was overjoyed.
After a while, Chen Changan sent the porridge in.
Qin Nuo took it and said that it was porridge, but it was actually just a batter-like thing. It was the first time that he could eat hot food after he had cooked the dry food that he had with him in water.
Yao Xingxu leaned to the bed and gave Pei Tuo a few bites.
Pei Tuo asked, "Where are the two Liu You?"
"Before, the two of them stayed up all night to wipe the alcohol to cool down for you. They didn't sleep all night, and I just rushed out to sleep." Yao Xingxu said with a smile.
Qin Nuo's heart was gloomy. On the battlefield, it is impossible to live without death, but Pei Tuo and his party, the three hundred elite, are now only three of them surviving, and there are still some who are lost on the battlefield who don’t know their lives. It is extremely tragic. .
Thinking back to the young people who had fought together before, Qin Nuo felt sad, if there would be no war in this world.
Ha, this battle was clearly provoked by himself first.
Feeling complicated, he opened the curtain and walked outside.
Sleeping day and night, it's twilight again. The sky is overcast with clouds, I'm afraid there will be another heavy snow soon.
I remembered that in Hengdao City before, Li Yi still sighed that there has been little snow on the northern border since the beginning of winter this year. Now it seems that the snow owed in the first half of the winter is going to fall behind.
It's just such a blizzard, Beishuo will be severely affected, and don't know how many people will be displaced.
The tent in front of you is the proof, otherwise it would be impossible to leave such important property in a hurry and flee.
I'm afraid it was the herdsmen who saw that it was not snowing, so they ventured out to graze and go hunting. They did not expect that when the blizzard approached, they could only hurried back to the city, and even had time to take the tent away.
Under the blizzard, Beishuo was short of clothes and food, and must invade south. His strategy was not wrong, and he should not waver.
After a brief conflict, Qin Nuo quickly adjusted his mood.
Chen Changan was explaining something to a few soldiers outside the camp, and when Qin Nuo came out, he quickly saluted.
Qin Nuo raised his hand and said, "No, there is no need to care about these etiquette here. By the way, I will be called the emperor again in the future."
This is something he thought of last night. The news that he could not let himself go to the Northland spread, even if it was his daily name, it would be bad if it was heard by others. So he himself changed his name to me.
Chen Changan understood the significance of this incident, and immediately respected the order, instructing the soldiers to pass the pass, and all renamed Qin Nuo the son. Together with the daily behavior, there should be no more respectful performance, so as not to show deeds.
After that, Qin Nuo didn't stay idle either. There were five or six camps on the snowy ground.
Chen Changan was by his side and asked: "The emperor...what is the son looking for?"
"If you have suitable clothes, you can't continue wearing this suit. It's not convenient to ride a horse." Qin Nuo smiled while holding the skirt.
Chen Changan hurriedly looked away. It was good that he was wearing a cloak before, but now that there is no cloak to cover it, this golden dress is indeed... Fortunately, now Yan Chang has taken most of the people to go hunting behind.
Accompanying the emperor to rummage through the cabinets for a long time, finally found a piece of clothing. Made of calfskin, the popular samurai style in Beishuo, the clothes are very old, but they are still clean.
Qin Nuo couldn't wait to be replaced, and suddenly felt a lot refreshed.
In the gap between searching, something rolled out of the clothes and fell to the ground.
Qin Nuo bent down and picked it up. It was an instrument made of clay, which looked a bit like an ocarina of later generations, but fortunately it did not break.
It seems to have been here for a long time, together with this suit, there is an illusion of time passing.
Seeing Lie Xinxi, Qin Nuo stuffed the ocarina into his arms.
After leaving the camp, Yan Chang led the crowd to return, bringing back good news. There were no soldiers and horses from Beishuo in the vicinity for more than ten miles. Of course, there were surprisingly few herders, only some abandoned tents.
In addition, some corpses were found in the snow. They should be the owners of these tents.
This blizzard came too fast and too eagerly. The people who ventured out to graze chose to abandon their tents and fled back to the city. However, these herdsmen were obviously not lucky. They went too far and were frozen to death before returning to the city. Into the wild.
Also brought back together were two deer, four or five pheasants, seven or eight snow rabbits, and two rabbits were still kicking their legs.
"I found it along the way. It happened to be able to drive the meat." Yan Chang threw the prey to the ground, and couldn't wait to rush into the camp to see Pei Tuo.
Knowing that Pei Tuoge had gradually retreated, he almost jumped up happily.
In the evening, everyone set up a bonfire in the camp, and it was rare to eat a hot barbecue. Although the taste of grilling was very good and there was no trace of salt, everyone still ate with relish.
Yan Chang also specially held the barbecue, went to the camp and shook it around, and put the oily meat under Pei Tuo's nose and shook it.
Pei Tuo said with a cold face that he would settle accounts with Yan Chang when he recovered.
"Your relationship is really good." Sitting next to him, Qin Nuo couldn't help but smile.
"Since I was a kid, I have been used to playing and making trouble on the northern border. At that time, everyone was in a school." Yao Xingxu said with a smile, "If the son is too boring, let Yan Chang get out."
Several camps were allocated, barely enough for dozens of them to live with the horses. Although it's cold inside, it's better than the days when sleeping. Even if all of them have internal protection, they will freeze to death if they stay outside for a long time.
"I've also heard that General Pei set up a school on the northern border before to recruit the orphans of northern border fighters. Later, many generals also sent their children in to learn Chinese and martial arts." Sitting next to the fire, Qin Nuo smiled Said.
"It's the kindness of the general. Yan Chang was still the first batch of students at the time. This kid used to be a tyrant in the school, fighting fiercely, often bullying his classmates in private, and cheating on food and drink." Yao Xingxu was in interest when he mentioned the past.
"Are there no rules in the school? For example, you can't bully your classmates?" Qin Nuo was curious. This kind of military school should pay much attention to discipline.
"Yes, yes, but at that time Yan Chang was disgusting. It was obvious that two people were fighting, and they were both bruised and swollen. The aunts who taught and helped scold us for bullying him because of his face." Yao Xingxu said with a bit of resentment. With.
"He often relied on that face to cheat and cheat. Even Aunt Du, who sells meat buns outside Fengxuetang, every time Yan Chang buys the same five big money, others can buy three buns. It’s really hateful to bring back five, and all of them are filled with thin skins!"
Being **cute is so good! Qin Nuo thought amusedly.
"It made everyone reluctant to fight him, until Pei Tuo entered Feng Xuetang and the days when someone was domineering..."
"Is it because Pei Tuo's identity is different?"
"No, I don't pay attention to identity in the school. At first, Pei Tuo was beaten by Yan Chang, but this kid was really tougher than others. He wouldn't be called the boss no matter how much he hits, so he would fight back sooner or later."
Qin Nuo laughed out loud. He could imagine that scene, the life of a group of ** year old bear children. Yan Chang's father seemed to be an officer who died in the northern border.
"Hey, is there such a loud slur?" Yan Chang mumbled when he came out of the camp.
He saluted Qin Nuo with a smile and said, "My son, don't believe him, this guy is used to nagging."
The atmosphere at night was relatively relaxed, and Qin Nuo didn't have the restraint before.
Watching Yan Chang approach the fire, Qin Nuo asked, "How is Pei Tuo?"
"It's getting better, son rest assured, he has always been rough and tough." Thinking of Yao Xingxu's words just now, he couldn't help complaining, "It's really irritating to say that it is many years late to enter the martial arts, how can he It can progress so fast."
Chen Changan smiled and said: "I heard that General Pei entered the martial arts later than ordinary people, but he could make rapid progress in a short time and reach the realm of masters."
"Their family is talented." Yan Chang sighed with a pheasant leg in his mouth.
"In the past, in Fengxue Hall, was Pei Tuo the best martial artist?" Qin Nuo asked with a smile.
"It's not a big deal. If you fight with a real sword, I won't necessarily lose to him." Yan Chang said triumphantly, "Moreover, this guy has countless literary studies, and he is often beaten by the old master of education. I still have it. To be able to mix up the evaluation of "literary talent is acceptable", this guy is always "unsightly"."
"Who is the best in liberal arts?"
Yan Chang and Yao Xingxu were both silent suddenly, together with a bunch of soldiers around. Qin Nuo followed the gap in the tent and saw Pei Tuo's pale face on the bed, and he suddenly realized.
"The best homework is Ren Jinglei!"
Speaking of that person, as if pressing a strange button, the expressions of several people were dimmed.
Qin Nuo couldn't help sighing.
Everyone was eating tasteless barbecue, and the atmosphere around the campfire was dull.
Although there are no enemy soldiers nearby, it is better to be more cautious. After eating barbecue in a hurry, Yan Chang ordered the bonfire outside to be put out, and the remaining firewood was divided into several camps.
The sky was completely dark, the sky was gusty, and the snow flakes fell again.
Qin Nuo stood in front of the camp door, watching Yan Chang and Chen Changan directing everyone to be busy.
He couldn't help taking out the ocarina in his arms. He leaned in his mouth and blew.
He played one of his favorite tunes, "The Original Scenery of the Hometown". In his previous life, he loved this tune so he spent money to learn the ocarina and worked hard.
I haven't played for several years, and it was a bit jerky at first, but Qin Nuo quickly found the tone.
Long music floats above the camp. Slowly, the busy soldiers couldn't help stopping their movements.
After coming out of the camp at the rear, a gentle tone entered his ears. For a moment, Yan Chang had an illusion and returned to Feng Xuetang on the northern border, a carefree, heartless youth.
He also has Pei Tuo, Ren Jinglei, Yao Xingxu...There are more like-minded young companions, studying literature and martial arts together, fighting hard together, and looking forward to the day when they go to battle and kill the enemy.
Although the wind on the northern border is bitter, it is not terrible. The air on the northern border is cold, but not to the bones. Together they rode horses and galloped on the green grass, full of spirit...
It doesn't seem to be long ago, but now in retrospect, it seems as long as a half-life has passed.
Perhaps because in these short years, they are growing at an unimaginable speed.
Ren Jinglei will never come back again. Pei Tuo was seriously injured. There are more friends who died in battle on the northern border in the past few years...
I don't know how long it took, the song ended, and the short memories came to an end.
Yan Chang was shocked to see that his eyes were wet. He lowered his head, pretending to wipe his eyes carelessly. Fortunately, it was dark, and no one paid attention here.
In other words, he was not the only one who had this emotion. Yao Xingxu turned his back to this side, as if he was also looking down and wiping the corners of his eyes.
Everyone felt a little lost.
Qin Nuo looked at everyone. During his short time playing the flute, everyone had come out of the camp, staring at him with inexplicably complicated eyes.
Starting with a thousand eastern camp soldiers guarding themselves to the east and breaking through, then Pei Tuo led three hundred soldiers and horses to respond. This way, they broke through and fled, and experienced countless big and small battles. Until now, this team, the rest Including Qin Nuo and Pei Tuo lying on the bed, a total of 47 people.
Eleven in the eastern camp, thirty-five in the Perak camp, plus an emperor.
Those who are killed, separated, and divided, on this cruel battlefield, human life is like falling snowflakes, and will be completely annihilated inadvertently, without a trace.
Looking at the soldiers standing around, Qin Nuo couldn't help but open his mouth: "Along this road, thanks to your support, I have survived to this day. It was Qin Nuo that dragged everyone down, you, and the soldiers who died before defending me. "
"The emperor..." Yao Xingxu blurted out.
Qin Nuo raised his hand to stop his words, "Don't say that this is your business. Everyone, every life, is independent, whether it is the emperor of the ninety-five-year-old or the soldiers fighting on the battlefield. It is the life conceived in the mother’s womb. Everyone has their own feelings and likes and dislikes. From this point of view, every life and soul are equal. Therefore, I am responsible and very responsible for the sacrifice of anyone. Guilt."
Yao Xingxu and everyone were a little at a loss. What the emperor said seemed to make sense, but years of years of teaching, the concept of respect for imperial power has been deeply rooted.
Even if they fight to the last person, they can’t let Qin Nuo make any mistakes. This is their unshirkable duty. Even if they take it back to the army, the court, Pei Ling, Zhan Ziping, and all military generals, civil and military officials, Everyone asks for this.
"The emperor does not need to be guilty. Your kindness is a kindness to me, but it is our natural duty to protect the emperor." Yan Chang said calmly.
"I understand, it's like, if one day, I would never die in Beishuo as a king. This is also my duty." Qin Nuo said in a deep voice.
As the emperor's duty and pride, he must not hold back Da Zhou's world and become a guy like Ming Yingzong.
"I have reached this point. I will work hard to bring everyone home safely on the next path."
"At home, the people I care about are waiting for me, and those who care about you are waiting for you."
"By this time next year, we will definitely be reunited with our relatives in our hometown, in our room, looking at the scenery of our hometown."
"I will not give up anyone, and hope that you will not sacrifice lightly, and will accompany me along this way home."
"I will work hard for the next battle, and I invite you all to witness."
Maybe the following road will be extremely difficult and dangerous. Qin Nuo is already mentally prepared and determined that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up the way home, nor will he give up everyone here.
Not knowing who started first, the soldiers around knelt down one by one.
"The emperor, the ministers must follow the emperor and finish this way home."
Under the dark night, among the wind and snow, in this desolate valley and flat ground, among the scattered camps, a small group of flames burned fiercely, persistently blooming the brilliance of life.
At this moment, Qin Nuo, and everyone else, of course, could not have imagined how tortuous and long their journey home would become. And this small team will set off a bloody storm on the land of Beishuo...
