Chapter 817: Mountains and Rivers Are Suspicious
It is an undeniable fact that the cold wind swayed the trees and silver flowers, and one by one they shattered and fell, and the qiē buried in the thick snow revealed its cruel side under the pile of newly unearthed corpses, which was an undeniable fact, since the middle of the night, the number of people killed by the outbreak of disease was increasing, the harsh environment, and the shortage of medicinal materials, these indisputable facts made everyone have to face this qiē - if it could not be contained, this sudden disease would deal a fatal blow to the entire team.
Xi Hao stood in the distance and looked at the corpses of those soldiers who died outside the battlefield, and silently shed tears.
Infinitesimal!
In the face of the law of life and death, human power is so small! Whether it is one's own desperate efforts to keep oneself or the encouragement of others with all their might, they cannot stop the footsteps of death coming. The soldiers who were killed by the disease swallowed their last breath in front of them, and when they closed their eyes, they really had an irresistible fatigue, and they had ...... Too tired to fight anymore!
I want to give up!
I want to leave without regard for it! I want to leave without regard for it! and linger back to the valley of lovesickness, and live a life that only belongs to me in peace and quiet, without war, without fighting, without the pain of life and death, and without the heartbreaking qiē.
"I ...... Not worthy of their trust...... Because I...... Can't save this qiē ......"
If you can't save them, you can't save the rest of the people, when the unstoppable disease swept the whole team, the army that rushed to the front to seize the water cut off the backup, and the reinforcements behind the Dazheng army will also be blocked from the distance, once the Hebodo army finds the clue and moves forward with all its might, the entire battle situation will irreversibly change!
If the epidemic spreads, it will be like a flood and a beast, destroying everything.
"There must be a way, Xi Hao, you have to cheer up, there are still so many soldiers watching you, everyone is still watching you...... Xi Hao...... This is your battlefield, you can't lose, I will always be by your side...... I've been with you......" The gentle murmur echoed in his ears, and the hoarse voice made Xi Hao's sudden consciousness slowly recover, and he turned his head to meet the lingering and warm eyes.
"I know you're sad, but you can't give up, there are so many soldiers who depend on you for their lives, if you give up, who else can they rely on. ”
"But...... I couldn't even diagnose the real cause, the course of the disease was so short, and the onset was so fast, that I didn't have time to react, they died one after another, and the number of infected people was increasing, but I couldn't come up with a sure cure, and I watched them die in front of me, as if I had ended their lives with my own hands! lingering, I had never felt this way, I couldn't save anyone, I couldn't save any of them—I couldn't save them." The whimpering finally turned into a venting roar, and Xi Hao cried bitterly and grabbed his lingering chest, burying his head into his arms.
"It's useless...... I'm useless...... I can't protect anyone, whether it's Daddy or Bai Yan and Flawless, I can't protect anyone...... Lingering, I'm a shit, a shit!"
"No! I don't blame you!"
It is the injustice of heaven that will make us go through so many ups and downs and tribulations, but Xi Hao, if even we give up, then who should bear the fate of these soldiers who trust us!
So, we can't give up!
"Absolutely, can't give up!"
"How's the situation?" Mingwei, who was resting at the desk with his forehead propped up, woke up with a spirit.
"Not good. You Rui's answer was shockingly succinct.
"But what happened to the outbreak of the epidemic?what happened to Lang Mian and Xi Hao?, is there any news about them?" Ming Wei asked with a frown, but before You Rui could answer, he walked out of the tent. Seeing his solemn expression, You Rui hurriedly followed, and walked a few quick steps in front of him.
"Childe has ordered that no one should go even half a step near there without his permission, and even if you go, you may not be able to see them. ”
"I'm not going in, but there is one thing that needs to be determined urgently, you go and count the grain and grass now, and gather all the scattered medicinal herbs in the team, and when I come back, I will tell you of the decision." ”
"But—"
"You Rui, can you trust me?" Hearing that You Rui was still questioning, Mingwei suddenly looked sideways at him, and then asked solemnly. You Rui looked up and saw that his eyes were resolute and his expression was awe-inspiring, and he couldn't help but nod and replied, "I believe it!"
"Then listen to me, and go and count the herbs at once, there is not much time, and when I return, I must get the exact amount." ”
"Yes!"
"Childe. ”
"Childe!" Seeing Xi Hao and lingering into the tent, Dr. Zhen, who was inserting needles for the sick soldier inside, hurriedly straightened up, spread his hands with a shocked face, and motioned to the soldiers on the side to block them together while talking, blocking in front of the two of them: "Please go out with the two sons, it's good to have us here." ”
Xi Hao is also a doctor, so he naturally wants to stay with his patients. Go away, let me see how he is!" Xi Hao scolded a little angrily, and then turned his footsteps and walked around to the man, Doctor Zhen was a little anxious, and before he could open his mouth to persuade him, he saw that he shook his head very solemnly, and immediately choked his full words in his throat.
His fever has not subsided, and among the earliest patients, he is the only one who is still supporting himself. Xi Hao reached out and probed the man's forehead, sighed and took off the handkerchief that he put on his forehead, replaced it with another piece that he had passed over again, and then clasped his wrist and checked the pulse.
This was the last person left among the patients who first became ill, and he was now sick with the corpse covered in snow, and he was still struggling with the pain.
One person opened the curtain and entered the tent, did not make a loud noise, only quietly approached Lang Mian, and said a word in his ear, and after listening to it, Lan Mian glanced back, and then stepped forward, came to Xi Hao's side, and whispered: "Wait for me for a while, I'll come when I go." ”
"Good. Xi Hao didn't say much, and after he should have passed, he lowered his head to observe the person's situation, and when he saw this, he turned around and walked away with the person who came.
"Have you taken the second decoction today?" The man's condition did not improve much, the continuous high fever had made him fall into a coma, and the scorched lips and sunken eye sockets showed that he was severely dehydrated, but because the laryngopharyngeal reflex gradually disappeared, even drinking water became a kind of torture.
"Not yet, there are too many sick people, after all...... You have to take care of those who are mildly ill first......" Dr. Zhen's voice gradually weakened. For a doctor with a conscience and medical ethics, there is no priority between the life of the patient, but here, they have to make a decision that is above morality and conscience, that is, to leave the opportunity of life as much as possible to those soldiers who have hope of being cured, and thus they have to give up another part of the patients who are approaching death, although it is a last resort, but it also makes them suffer and suffer.
"It's okay, bring some water to moisten his mouth, and I'll give him a needle to make him feel better." Since we can't get it all back, let's make them less painful, and in this way, we have done our part. Xi Hao didn't blame anyone, he knew how much courage it took to make such a decision, he just wanted to use his medical skills to make these dying soldiers suffer as little as possible, so he desperately squeezed out a smile and used his actions to guide the way forward. Doctor Zhen responded in a trembling voice when he heard this, first turned his back and wiped away two lines of tears, then bowed down and took the silver needle to Xi Hao's side, raised his hands and said, "Childe Shi needle, old man will tray for you." ”
"Xi Hao thanked Dr. Zhen!" Xi Hao didn't shirk, only pulled out a silver needle sideways, and then lowered his head to buckle the person's acupuncture points, unexpectedly, as soon as he leaned down, the person's whole body was twitched, and after a period of tonic spasms, his arms suddenly rose and hit Xi Hao's face. Xi Hao reflexively reached out to block it, but forgot the silver needle in his hand, and when he realized that his palm was punctured due to too much force, he hurriedly lowered his head, but he was powerless to stop the blood dripping down his palm.
Worst!
The blood was falling on the corner of the man's dry lips, Xi Hao was shocked and reached out to wipe it, but it was too late, he looked at the blood red that quickly faded, and his heart suddenly fell into the abyss!
