Chapter 653: The Battle of the Day and Night
The road was very difficult, and in the end even the horses could no longer ride, and the snow was so deep that you had to try to lift your steps with every step, and then you fell into it again after stepping on it. The snow is still falling in the sky, the forest is getting denser and denser, and the road ahead is becoming more and more confused, and the single color paralyzes everyone's sight, making people more and more tired, as if the road ahead will never come to an end.
"Flawless, can you still hold on?" Feeling that Flawless's footsteps were gradually exhausted, Bai Yan paused and turned around.
Flawless shook his head, it was false to say that he was not tired, this road was full of wind and snow, the horses could not walk, and the clothes on his body were wrapped in layers, so he walked for nearly three hours without stopping, if it weren't for his own kung fu foundation, he was afraid that he would have fallen down at this moment.
"When we cross this mountain, let's find a sheltered place to rest. Even if Bai Yan was almost unable to support it, he knew that the others must be even more tired, and the saying that he could reach the ten directions in five days was judged by the ordinary environment, not such a bad climate. The weather can change unexpectedly, and if there is a delay on the way, the date of the return and return will be delayed, and the consequences will be very bad.
"This should be the cold mountain ridge shown in the map. Flawless stopped and looked around, then stretched out his hand and said, "There is a cliff attached to the south, and a fish-shaped mountain echoes it in the north. I remember that the place was circled by Master Jane with a red pen on the map, which means that this place is very unstable, and there are many signs of avalanches, so let's not rest, and turn it over in one go. After listening to Bai Yan's words, Flawless thought carefully about the terrain map he had seen, and said his thoughts. Bai Yan knew that he had an extraordinary memory and could never forget it, since he said that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, then it was best to turn over it as much as possible.
"I see that you are very tired, why don't I carry you on my back. After Bai Yan finished speaking, he turned his back, leaned over and lowered his head, Flawless was touched by the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help but step forward and pull him, and said with a slight smile: "You treat me as a three-year-old child, even if I am thin, I have such weight, do you really have an iron body." β
"Don't get in the way, I can still carry you. β
Seeing that he was obviously very tired but still smiling, Wufang felt more and more distressed, so he staggered his fingers from his fingertips and clasped them tightly, and said with a smile: "That's fine, you can pull me away if I can't walk, don't delay time, let's go." β
Bai Yan knew his flawless temperament, so he no longer insisted on it, stretched out his hand and pulled him, and walked forward again with everyone.
I never thought that the climate in the north would be so abnormal, it was already Mayday, and the wind was still cold and bleak, the snow was drifting, the air was thin due to the high terrain, and after walking for a while, people and horses had difficulty breathing.
"Third brother, what's wrong with you? Little Marquis-" There was a sudden shouting in front of him, and then the team stopped, Bai Yan was startled, and was about to step forward to ask, when he saw Qin Chi turn around quickly, and raised his voice in the distance: "A soldier can't stand it and faints, where is the medicine that Miss Xianyi brought?"
"Here it is. Xian Yi responded, took the burden on the horse's back, found the refreshing pill, handed it to Yu Chenghao, and let him hurry forward. Because the team stopped, Bai Yan went to the front to check, and Flawless finally found a gap to rest, he moved his feet that had been frozen to numbness, and then walked to a big tree and leaned on.
It hurts, the soles of his feet should have blistered blood, and his ankles are sore, but these are small things, but what really worries him is the rhythm of his heartbeat.
It's strange that after walking like this, my heartbeat should be getting more and more rapid, but why......
Reaching out and pressing it on his chest, Flawless felt the speed and rhythm of his heartbeat, and then slowly frowned.
Something is wrong, this feels really wrong, since the Acacia Valley came out, the state of this body has not been right, although he has not broken his medicine for many years, but it will not be so abnormal, now this situation is so strange, people are overwhelmed, and they don't know how to deal with it.
"What are you thinking?" The soldier was fine, he woke up soon after taking the pill, knowing that everyone's body was at its limit, even if it was dangerous, they had to rest for a while, so Bai Yan ordered everyone to rest on the spot for a while, and after turning around, he saw Flawless leaning against the tree in a trance, so he lightly went to his side and hugged him into his arms.
"I'm thinking...... Should someone be sent back at this moment to inform Master Jane that the return trip would be postponed? Finding that Bai Yan's hands were clasped on his chest, Flawless subconsciously reached out to block his chest.
I can't let Bai Yan know what he is doing at the moment, at least not now!
"I also have this plan, the climate is so bad, we should take all the emergencies into account in advance, and leave a few days for buffering, otherwise it will be bad if we get to the Baishan Army in the ten directions, but we don't have time to rush back. β
"This road must be more difficult to walk, so I found two people, turned around with the soldiers who were not able to support the body, and informed Master Jian of our decision. β
"Good. Although Bai Yan responded to Flawless's words, he kept his eyes on him, and his intuition told him that Flawless had something to hide, but he couldn't know what it was.
"What are you staring at me all the time?" Wufang's words were actually a little empty-hearted, he knew that although Bai Yan was very arrogant on weekdays, his heart was very sensitive and delicate, he must have felt that he was hiding something from him, but he couldn't bear to force himself, this kind of feeling of knowing that there was a problem but not getting an answer was naturally very uncomfortable.
"Flawless. β
"Hmm. β
"You're going to tell me if there's something, right?"
Flawless fell silent, making it impossible for him to lie in the face of Bai Yan, so he replied with silence. Bai Yan understood in his heart, but he couldn't accept it for him, and because his condition was beyond the treatment of ordinary doctors, thinking of this, he couldn't help but lower his head and bury it in the back of his neck.
There is nothing more painful in this world than this! I know that his life is dying bit by bit, but there is nothing he can do about it......
Powerless!
"Lingering. β
Hearing Mingwei's call, lingering took a deep breath and raised his head hard, the whole night of sleepless made his spirit already extremely poor, because he had to move stones, so he took off his armor and robe, and he didn't feel cold when he moved, but after sitting down at this moment, his face gradually turned pale.
"You go and take a break, we're here. "It's not just last night, since Xue Changan brought back the news that the number of giant deer troops outside Shifang City has increased, lingering has hardly had a good rest. Reinforcing the city wall, arranging manpower, patrolling at night, and training during the day, his whole person is already on the verge of collapse, and if he goes on like this, no matter how good his body is, he can't carry it.
Lingering unexpectedly did not refuse, he stood up, patted Mingwei on the shoulder, and then dragged away with tired steps.
Xi Hao......
It's almost unbearable, where are you...... Where are you?
"Brother Lingering?!Brother Lingering-" The copper basin in his hand fell to the ground, and Gu Yu shouted and went straight to the man. He just saw that Lang Mian came back tired, so he thought about fetching water to wipe his face, who knew that after entering the tent door, he saw Lang Mian fall to the ground, he knew that Lang Mian had not slept all night with people to rescue the people who were crushed by the collapse of the mountain rock last night, but he didn't expect him to be so weak.
"What's wrong?" someone outside the tent heard the shouting and hurriedly ran in, Gu Yu tried his best to take a handful of lingering, but he was thin and small, lingering and long, and he couldn't move at all.
"Come over here and take a hand. He called the man to set up a lingering man, pulled him to the couch and put him down, then wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and said to the man: "Go find Dr. Zhong, hurry up." β
"Good. β
Gu Yu ran to get a basin to refill the water, and then wiped his lingering face with a handkerchief, only to find that his face was terrifyingly pale.
"Ahh
It's so hot, it seems that he was sick last night, but he still insisted on it until now, and now in this Shifang City, in addition to Hou Ye, everyone respects him the most, Hou Ye's old injuries have not healed, if he also falls at this moment, then who can these soldiers and people rely on.
"Brother lingering, you must not have anything to do, it was you who said that you want us to persevere, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, now everyone is looking at you, you can't leave us all without faith, Brother lingering. Thinking of the current situation inside and outside Shifang City, Gu Yu couldn't help but wipe away tears. At the beginning, it was said that as long as everyone worked together, they would definitely be able to tide over the difficulties, but now the army of the giant deer is approaching, and God still refuses to let go of the people in this city.
"Dr. Zhong is here. There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, and a bunch of people came in with the figure of Dr. Zhong, and everyone rushed in to linger, anxiously waiting for the doctor's diagnosis.
Dr. Zhong also didn't sleep all night, there were too many injured people, and the medicinal materials were not enough at all, so many patients with minor injuries were treated with silver needles through the acupoints.
"Doctor Zhong, how is it?"
"What do you meanβ"
"Is there a big problem? Is it cold?"
There were many people talking, and after watching Dr. Zhong's pulse, they were silent for a long time, and E Min and others on the side were anxious. Hou Ye's old injuries have not healed due to the shortage of medicinal materials, although he is not a soldier in the army, but he has won everyone's trust and respect with his practical actions, everyone has long regarded him as the person who replaced Hou Ye's orders, and now he is also sick, this Shifang City is not a group of dragons without a leader.
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. Doctor Zhong was dizzy by their gossip and asked, raised his hand and shook his head and went to the desk, picked up the pen and ink and was about to prescribe the prescription, but was snatched by E Min with one hand, and said urgently: "Our medicinal materials are not enough, but I am afraid that we will not be able to make up the prescription, so Doctor Zhong might as well go directly to see if the medicine is ready, and let Gu Yu immediately take it and boil it and send it." β
When Doctor Zhong heard it, it made sense, even if he wrote a lot, it would be in vain if there was no medicine and the ingredients were not in order, so he got up and stood up and said to Gu Yu: "Follow me." β
"Yes. β
Gu Yu followed Dr. Zhong out of the tent, and Emin realized that Dr. Zhong had never said what kind of illness the lingering was, annoyed that he was anxious, and worried about lingering's condition, so he followed out of the tent to ask what was going on. Mingwei opened the curtain and entered, and saw that Xue Changan and the others were still around him, so he walked over and dispersed them, and said, "I'm tired all night, so I'll take a look here." β
"Butβ"
"Go ahead. Mingwei didn't say anything more, just walked to the couch and sat down, reached out and took off the handkerchief that wrapped around his forehead, re-wet and wring it out, and then put it back on.
This person, if he is an iron body, if he continues to work like this, even the iron man can't stand it!
Xi Hao...... Xi Hao......"
Hearing Xi Hao's name still being called in the lingering high fever, Mingwei couldn't help but feel sad, raised his head, and forced back the tears that came out of his eyes.
Although he and he have known each other for a short time, they have also lived and died together, thinking that Xi Hao was imprisoned by Wu Feiyun in the Julu military camp, and he went through a lot of hardships to find him, thinking that the two of them would not be separated again after escaping, but they were pursued by Hebodo's army and lost each other again. Now the Shifang City is worried about internal and external troubles, crumbling, but Xi Hao has no news, if he were an ordinary person, he was afraid that he would have been unable to bear it a long time ago, but he not only stood up, but also shouldered the responsibility of more than 10,000 people, but people are flesh and blood after all, how can he not collapse if he is so embarrassed by himself.
"Why are they all so stupid, so stupid that it hurts to the heart......"
It's so stupid that it's heart-wrenching, it's not just a lingering person, the man named Mingwei who followed behind Flawless silently...... And how not!
"Newspaper-" The soldier in charge of the path came from afar, and replied in a loud voice to the man standing on the horse: "I found the sign left by Lord Luo, and it is still three hundred miles away from the place where the former army is stationed. β
With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Wu Feiyun looked down at Xi Hao in his arms, then the corners of his lips raised, and he sneered: "Pass the order, rest on the spot, make food and pull out the camp at the right time, and then go straight to Shifang City for me non-stop!"
