Chapter 47: Death 2
"Tie Liang, you take the team back to the village first, and I'll go to Master Mo to see the situation of the wounded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" On the mountainside, Tie Ming looked at the grass hut not far away and spoke.
"Brother, you have an injury, let me accompany you. Tie Liang worried.
"Don't forget, you're the backbone of everyone when I'm away, go ahead and don't let me down. Tie Ming's face was stunned for a moment before he slowly smiled, and with expectation in his eyes, he said lightly.
"Got it, brother. Hearing this, Tie Liang realized a little, and then said no more, and continued to descend the mountain with the team.
Many of the people who were injured in this battle had already lined up to stand in front of the grass hut, and after Mo Zai came back, he immediately made preparations and specially moved the square table in the house, and all kinds of herbs densely occupied the entire table.
At this time, he has become the ordinary old man who knows some medical skills in the past, concentrating on treating everyone's injuries, and his face is calm.
It's just that the people who have seen Mo Zaiti's sharp shot at the scene, who dares to treat him as the doctor in the past, everyone who comes forward to receive treatment does not dare to take a breath, no matter how serious the injury is, they all endure it, and their faces are flushed.
"You are injured in the chest and abdomen, and there will be blood stasis in your body for a long time, I will first dredge your muscles and bones, activate your muscles and veins, and then take my medicine, which should be cured within half a month. Mo Zaiti said lightly to the man in front of him, and he had already left his seat between words, and he was about to start moving.
"Master Mo. β
I don't know when, Tie Xuan, who had been standing on the edge of the crowd, finally stepped forward, but there was still some distance from Mo Zaiti, he shouted from afar, and did not mean to continue to step forward, and their relationship seemed to be unable to return to the simple and pure before.
"Well, come here. β
Mo Zaiti nodded faintly at Tie Xuan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then continued to treat the patient in front of him.
He knew in his heart that Tie Xuan was telling him that he didn't hate him, but he couldn't understand and forgive him yet. In this regard, he was already satisfied, as for more, he didn't want to force it, Tie Xuan was still just a child after all.
"Yes. Tie Xuan nodded, took a few steps forward with a blushing face, and stood beside Mo Zaiti.
Immediately, the two cooperated with each other, Mo Zaiti was responsible for prescribing prescriptions, and Tie Xuan helped him get medicine, which can be regarded as learning medical skills from him. Although Tie Xuan has been silent and does not speak, he is still very serious in doing things, and in the envious eyes of everyone around him, he faintly felt something special, but he always pursed his lips and did not say a word.
Tie Xuan was busy until the sun set, and it wasn't until the last person who came to treat his injuries was gone, that the complicated emotions in his heart gradually calmed down.
"Master Mo, I'm leaving. Looking at Mo Zaiti, who was packing things up on the side, Tie Xuan said in a hoarse voice.
"Well, go ahead. Hearing this, Mo Zaiti, who had been busy, raised his head, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
When night fell, every household lit a lamp made of ferocious beast fat, and the villagers would not be so extravagant on weekdays, and most of them rested early.
But tonight was different, the villagers brought back a lot of the corpses of the fierce beasts, although the big heads were from the hunting team, and some were the pensions of the dead warriors, but the rest still let each family get a lot of meat of the fierce beasts, as for the valuable skins and tendons, they were disposed of by the hunting team and were ready to be sold in the town.
Tie Xuan walked home in silence, he didn't know what kind of attitude he should have towards Master Mo, should he hate him, no, Master Mo's kindness to him really made him unable to rise such emotions.
It's just that after learning about his father's death from Master Mo's mouth, his mood has been messy, and the calm lake seems to have been thrown into a stone, causing ripples in circles.
Standing at the entrance of the village, Tie Xuan looked at the brightly lit village, behind every lamp was a family, for a while, he suddenly felt that he was too pedantic, no matter what the entanglement between Master Mo and his father was, those things were too far from him.
He is just a young man living in the village, and he lives with his grandmother, and the purpose of his efforts to cultivate martial arts is also to make his grandmother live a good life.
In this case, why should he be so entangled in how to get along with Master Mo, how is it on weekdays. In his life, the word father had no superfluous meaning other than that of the person who gave him life.
Continuing to walk towards the village, suddenly several hurried people approached, all of them were dressed in black tights, under the dim light, if it weren't for the head-on, Tie Xuan would not be able to see clearly that the person at the head was actually Tie Ming, the deputy of the hunting team.
The two sides looked at each other, but they didn't stop and staggered.
Looking back at Tie Ming and the others who had disappeared into the darkness, Tie Xuan thought in his heart, he knew the grievances between Tiejia Village and Crouching Tiger Village, and he also knew that the martial arts of Tiejia Village suffered a lot of casualties in today's battle, but he believed that because of the appearance of Master Mo, the losses on the side of Crouching Tiger Village would definitely be greater.
So now look at Tie Ming's appearance of leaving the village in a hurry, the purpose is already coming out, that is, to attack Crouching Tiger Village at night. As for whether he guessed right or not, Tie Xuan was in no mood to think about it anymore, because he knew that no matter what Tie Ming did when he left the village tonight, he would know everything tomorrow.
Tie Xuan guessed right, after Tie Ming discussed with the old village chief Tie Li, in order not to alarm the people in the village, he asked Tie Liang to take people out of the village in batches at night, and he and Tie Li hurriedly took the remaining few people out of the village after the discussion.
Tonight's operation, he has to lead the team to run for hundreds of miles to destroy Crouching Tiger Village in one fell swoop, and this is also his first action after succeeding as captain, and he must do it beautifully, so that everyone can obey him, believe in him, and support him.
Walking to the door of the house, gently pushing open the courtyard door, Tie Xuan quickly calmed down his somewhat fluctuating mood, and shouted with a joyful face as always, "Grandmother, I'm back." β
No one answered him, and the courtyard was silent, except for the sound of the wind in his ears.
After standing for a long time, an ominous premonition surged into Tie Xuan's heart, and the whole person no longer hesitated, and quickly ran towards the house.
As soon as he entered the house, Tie Xuan smelled a faint smell of blood in the air, and suddenly he shivered all over his body, and his heart became more and more afraid.
"Nothing will happen to Grandmother. Although he didn't want to think about it, his mind seemed to be uncontrollable, and at this time, he also saw his grandmother lying motionless on the floor.
"Grandmother, grandmother, grandmother. Tie Xuan rushed over, half-helped his grandmother, and kept shouting.
The voice echoed in the narrow room, lonely and desolate, Tie Xuan called tirelessly, the whole person seemed to have lost his mind, and his mouth repeated the same words.
After a long time
"Uh, it's Xuan'er, you, you're finally back. The old woman's face was as pale as earth, and her anger was like a gossamer, and she opened her cloudy eyes and said with difficulty.
"Grandmother, grandmother, who hurt you, who is it, I must kill him, kill him. Tie Xuan had never hated a person like this, at this moment, his eyes were red, his face was hideous, and his heart was boiling with murderous intent.
"It's Tie Fan who came to ask for what your father left behind, I don't give it, he, he pushed me, I just... The old woman said intermittently.
"Tie Fan, it's Tie Fan, I know, grandmother, grandmother, how are you feeling now, you... Tears rolled down his cheeks, but Tie Xuan didn't bother to wipe them, his hands tightly supported his grandmother's body, his mind was chaotic, and his heart was full of worry.
"I'm running out of time, Xuan'er, you listen to me first, the jade pendant around your neck is the heirloom of our Tie Clan, you must keep it, it's inside, it's inside... The old woman stretched out her hand to Tie Xuan with great difficulty to grab something, her eyes flashed with hope, and she struggled to say.
The room was very quiet, and the corner of Gao's eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the flickering candlelight on the corner of the table, and in a hazy way, she seemed to see the scene where her former wife and beloved son were saying goodbye to her in front of the door, but she didn't want to, a farewell is eternal, and she didn't turn around.
At this moment, she seemed to see her deceased husband and son looking at her with a smile on his face in the candlelight, waving his arms and waving at her.
"Grandmother, grandmother, don't talk, don't talk, by the way, let's hurry up and find Master Mo, he has excellent medical skills, and he will definitely be able to save you." Seeing that his grandmother seemed to be about to leave him, Tie Xuan couldn't help but be flustered, his face was anxious, and he was in no mood to pay attention to his grandmother's intermittent last words.
But before he could turn around, his grandmother's outstretched hand in the air suddenly drooped, her head tilted to one side, and the whole person had already closed her eyes and returned to the west.
"Grandmother, grandmother, grandmother... Tie Xuan kept calling, and when he finally realized that his grandmother had left, he suddenly roared out like a broken throat, and his voice was full of infinite sorrow and pain.
The night outside the house was getting thicker, and although Yuehua tried her best to sprinkle the light on the earth, many places were still pitch black, black and oppressive, like a huge mouth that chose people to devour, devouring everything.
On a lonely night, the moonlight was hazy, and on the dark mountain road, Tie Xuan was running fast with his grandmother on his back, letting his sweat wet his hair, and only the grass shed halfway up the mountain in his eyes.
Mo Zaiti hadn't slept yet, he was sitting cross-legged under the Bodhi tree as always, his mind was empty, and he practiced silently.
Suddenly, he felt a rush of heavy footsteps coming from the mountain path, which seemed particularly noisy in the silence of the night.
"Master Mo, Master Mo, save my grandmother, save my grandmother. Before he arrived, Tie Xuan had already shouted, but his voice was hoarse and low, like the friction of a broken dead tree.
"Xiao Xuan?" Mo Zaiti looked at the visitor unexpectedly, only one glance, and his expression was immediately sluggish.
"Master Mo, save my grandmother, quick, save my grandmother. Tie Xuan gently put down the grandmother on his back, his face turned pale, and he gasped for breath.
Without hesitation, Mo Zaiti almost immediately got up and began to check on his grandmother's physical condition, he knew very well how important the life and death of the old woman in front of him meant to Tie Xuan, who was now in the growth stage.
Tie Xuan on the side didn't care about wiping the sweat from his forehead, and his eyes were staring at Master Mo with a pair of eyes, hope or despair, all of which were due to the change in Master Mo's face.
At this moment, Tie Xuan felt that time was so long, as if it had turned into a hundred years in an instant. He could hear the sound of his own strong heartbeat, the chirping of insects around the hut, and even the subtle sound of the leaves of the linden being shaken by the wind.
All things in heaven and earth seemed to burst out of their strongest life fluctuations at this moment, and these made Tie Xuan's original mood become more and more irritable and restless.
Finally, Mo Zaiti withdrew his hand to take the pulse, but turned his back to Tie Xuan, and he didn't know what the expression on his face was.
"Xiao Xuan, she's dead, I can't save her. After being silent for a long time, Mo Zaiti turned around, his expression was heavy, and he spoke slowly, his voice low.
"No, I don't believe it, I don't believe it. Hearing Mo Zaiti's near-death sentence, the last bit of hope in Tie Xuan's heart was instantly shattered, and he looked at his grandmother in front of him with blank eyes, and muttered in his mouth.
"Isn't it that you didn't pay attention to it, tell me, isn't it, isn't it?" Suddenly, Tie Xuan rushed towards Mo Zaiti, grabbed the clothes on his chest, and asked with a hideous face, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.
"Xiao Xuan. For Tie Xuan's rude behavior, Mo Zaiti didn't stop it, he just looked at Tie Xuan who was crazy in front of him with a sad face, and he really didn't know how to comfort the other party's weak and injured heart.
"Grandmother didn't die, grandmother won't die, how can she die. Tie Xuan seemed to be asking and talking to himself, and the hand holding Mo Zai's clothes slowly loosened, the tears on his face had not yet dissipated, and a new round of tears couldn't help but flow down.
"I see, Master Mo. β
After a long time, no longer being irritable or crying heartbreakingly, Tie Xuan finally responded lightly in hindsight, accepting a cruel reality that he had to face, and looked deeply at his grandmother, who had been dead for a long time.
Mo Zaiti couldn't bear to look at Tie Xuan, who was staring at his grandmother blankly at the moment, affectionately parting since ancient times, and this kind of loss of relatives is even more heartbreaking, not to mention a teenager who is still a minor.
"Alas, the man doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place. Looking at Tie Xuan's dejected appearance, Mo didn't feel anything more in his heart, and sighed.
At this time, Tie Xuan moved, as if this sigh had awakened him, and with an indifferent face, he sorted out the last remains for his grandmother, wiped off the dust on the road when he first came, and then carried his grandmother on his back again, and walked towards the bottom of the mountain step by step.
"Alas, this is really an eventful season, Tie Xuan, this kid, I hope he can see some of it. Mo Zaiti looked at Tie Xuan, who had left gloomily, sighed, and muttered to himself.
The night was still silent and serene, and nothing that happened under the hazy moonlight seemed to cause it to cause the slightest mood swing, and everything seemed to be as the old saying goesβthe sky looks at the world mercilessly, and the clouds turn empty.
