Chapter 55
Lao Lu fainted all night.
After obeying Lao Lu's instructions, Yinzhen used the axe to cut off the old man's left hand. At one point, his hands were so shaky that he could barely hold the axe, and his body stubbornly resisted the decision of his will, refusing to do such a terrible thing, but Yinzhen forced himself to act, and after the first axe went down, followed by the second axe...... He used the utmost willpower to complete this humble amputation.
Then, he carried the unconscious Lao Lu on his back, left the pile of zombies behind him, and fled into the dense forest.
He found the shack where Julia had been held a few days ago and put Lao Lu there.
It was a long way from the villa area, and Lao Lu was seriously injured, so they had to live in this dilapidated jungle shack.
Before the operation, Lao Lu had briefly instructed him a few words, about postoperative hemostasis and bandaging, preventing infection, etc., but Yinzhen didn't understand it very well, he didn't know what "infection" was, and he didn't know how to prevent it.
To make matters worse, he didn't have any medication on hand.
So everything is left to fate.
Put Lao Lu in the shack, Yinzhen went out to find food, but fortunately, there were still a few bottles of mineral water. In addition, he could only guard Lao Lu worriedly, and kept praying that he could get through.
Yin Zhen couldn't sleep, he had to be alert to the movements around him, and in addition, the tragic memory of the operation process had been haunting him, waking him up from his heavy drowsiness from time to time, and scared him into a cold sweat.
If Lao Lu died, more than half of the responsibility was on him, and it was his improper operation that caused the death of the injured. Because he is an idiot, he can't understand so many words, and he can't even do such a simple thing, if it was Julia, he would definitely be able to take a more reliable way.
And if he hadn't taken it upon himself to increase the number of teams, the zombies in the vicinity would not have been attracted, and Lao Lu would not have been bitten.
With strong anxiety and guilt, Yinzhen didn't even realize that he had never even cared so much about his father.
After a day and a night, Lao Lu finally regained his senses.
He never had a fever, which made Yinzhen feel relieved, which showed that he escaped the infection and survived.
After waking up, Lao Lu was still very weak, and Yinzhen caught a pheasant in the woods. He followed Julia's example, smeared mud on the pheasant's body, and roasted it over a fire. After cooking, peel off the puree to reveal the white and fragrant chicken inside.
This became Lao Lu's first sick meal when he woke up.
Two or three days later, Lao Lu's spirit was a little stronger, and he was able to speak, although the pain was intense, he was gradually able to bear it. So, he first asked about the situation of Yinzhen's Little Red House.
Yin Zhen told him everything that happened after Lao Lu left, 1510, and he also told Lao Lu about Julia's kidnapping and getting rid of Yu Jin.
Lao Lu was shocked: "So, Julia is not dead? ”
"Nope." Yinzhen said, "She should go back to the Little Red House now." Shao Tianming lied to Sjepan, and I fear that if Sjepan knew that Julia was still alive, it would be detrimental to him and the child......"
As soon as he said this, Lao Lu couldn't help but burst into tears.
He told Yinzhen about Shao Tianming and Yuanyuan, he said that he had expected that his granddaughter would not live long, and now that his son-in-law is also dead, he is the only one left in the whole family, and he has no relatives.
After hearing this, Yin Zhen didn't know how to persuade him, but he finally said to Lao Lu: "Don't think like this. After all, Julia is still alive, and she is also your daughter. And me, if you will, I am also your relative. ”
When Lao Lu heard him say this, he became even more sad for a while. He sighed softly: "How can I be, how can I dare to be related to the Son of Heaven?" ”
As soon as he said this, Yinzhen's face suddenly changed!
Seeing that his face had changed greatly, Lao Lu knew that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Ah Zhen, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else." ”
After being silent for a long time, Yinzhen finally asked, "Do you know who I am?" ”
Lao Lu nodded: "Brother Jiu told me." ”
Yin Zhen lowered his head and stared at the straw mat on the ground: "...... I didn't want to hide it from you, I thought you and Julia wouldn't believe me even if I did. ”
Lao Lu smiled bitterly: "Yes, who would have thought of such a thing?" Actually, I still can't believe it. But when I think about it, I feel that the piles are all seamless. For example, yesterday I was operated on, and I really can't think of a second person who can do it except you. ”
Yin Zhen's face became more and more pale, he opened two frightened eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "You mean to say that I am cruel and ruthless by nature, just like my ninth brother said?" ”
Lao Lu panicked, and quickly shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that!" Ah Zhen, I mean, you are really a person who can handle big things, and it is not surprising that you will have to ascend to the throne in the future. ”
Yin Zhen looked at him, and then slowly lowered his head: "...... I can't be the emperor anymore, I can't even go home. In the future, I can only stay in this wild forest and zombies for the rest of my life. ”
Seeing him like this, Lao Lu didn't know how to comfort him, he thought for a long time before he said: "Since you can't go back, let's live and settle down here, but you think, you are not like me, and the family is unlucky to stay here." And since Hongli is liked by his grandfather, he must be taken care of......"
Yin Zhen raised his head and said inexplicably: "Hongli? ”
Lao Lu was stunned, he suddenly patted his head: "Oops, I remember the time, this child hasn't been born yet, right?" ”
"Hmm." Yin Zhen nodded, "I don't even know who his mother is." ”
"Oh, it's Niu Co Lu." Lao Lu said, "My father's name is Ling Zhu, and he is a fourth-grade official - do you have any impression?" ”
Yin Zhen was stunned, and suddenly said, "It's her!" ”
"Really? Impressive? ”
"Not very impressed." Yin Zhen lowered her head and said reluctantly, "A little girl who follows Chang Fujin, like bean sprouts, and it's not good-looking......"
"Uh......"
"I don't like her, I haven't said a word."
Lao Lu laughed helplessly: "That...... I don't know why she is Qianlong's mother. ”
Yin Zhen couldn't relax at all, he lowered his head again, for a long time, reached out and pulled the corner of Lao Lu's clothes, and asked worriedly: "Lao Lu, am I really a bad person?" ”
Lao Lu was stopped by his question, and he opened his mouth: "This...... How so? People can't be generalized to good or bad, and that would be too simplistic and crude. ”
"But what you said before wasn't you praising me, were you?"
Lao Lu secretly complained to himself, he really regretted that he had talked so much about Qing history with Yinzhen before, but now in retrospect, he didn't have a good word, they were all scolding him.
So far, he can only bite the bullet and say, "Ahem, this...... I didn't know you before, it was all written in the history books, and I was also blind, and after reading it, you must not take it to heart. If you really are a bad person, how can you save me and Julia? The history books are from 300 years ago, and they have passed through so many people's mouths and passed around, and it is very likely that something went wrong. If you put aside the history books and just say that you are a living person, then I think you are a good person. ”
"But the ninth elder brother hates me, and the eighth elder brother also hates me." Yin Zhen whispered, "What did I do to make them hate me so much?" I'm not sorry for them! ”
Lao Lu looked at him blankly, although he understood everything, he couldn't say anything.
Yin Zhen is only thirty years old now, before this he was just leaning on the prince's big tree, his own edge was not very revealed, he had not yet walked to the middle of the target, he was still very innocent, how could he take what had not happened before he was charged with a crime? And people's feelings and thinking will change with age, fifty-year-old Yinzhen hates his younger brothers, but thirty-year-old Yinzhen may still have a deep brotherhood.
"Perhaps...... It's a mistake. Lao Lu hesitated and said, "Maybe they made a mistake." It's quite possible, right? The history books don't say you're here. ”
"But Brother Nine wants to kill me. He chased me with a light machine gun, but Julia saved me. ”
Lao Lu was taken aback: "Really? He's really going after you? ”
Yin Zhen nodded: "Just this time I was on the way to go out with Julia." ”
Lao Lu thought for a long time in embarrassment before he said, "Ah Zhen, don't blame your ninth brother, he ...... It's pathetic. Your eighth brother is also quite pitiful. They are in the Yongzheng Dynasty, and they are all miserable. ”
Yin Zhen looked up at him curiously: "It's miserable?" How miserable? Have I reduced their profits? Don't give you a heavy responsibility? Scolding them? Or do you have them beaten with sticks? But they are all my younger brothers, and they are also the sons of Huang Ama, I will not do anything to them, and I dare not do anything to them, otherwise those old fellows will not scold me to death? Maybe you have to go to the tomb of Huang Ama to cry at the grave. ”
Lao Lu wants to say that even you can't believe it, where do I start? And when he thought of telling the thirty-year-old Yin Zhen about the staggering and daring things that the fifty-year-old Yinzhen had done, would this set a limit on his life? If the kid hadn't intended to do this, he would have done it by talking and talking to him, and he would have done it...... Doesn't that mean that it is the Qing history that you have created?
Whether he follows the development of history or goes against history, I am afraid that it will not be good. And there are too many causes and consequences, some of which are related to Kangxi, if he rashly talks about his father, Yinzhen may be angry, Lao Lu thinks about it, and finally feels inappropriate.
"Ah Zhen, that's all something you haven't done yet, why do you want to ask? Like you said, you won't do anything to them. ”
"But they insisted on killing me." Yin Zhen said depressedly, "Look, my ninth brother shot today." He has always been a man who counts his words, but this time he broke his promise, and when he thinks about it, I don't know how much he hates me in his heart. ”
When he said this, Lao Lu also felt compassion. He was silent for a long time before he said: "You have to be careful in the future, your ninth brother did kill you, and I see that he has a lot of weapons in Wal-Mart." He once told me that he would kill you no matter what, and whoever dared to help you would be his enemy. If I dare to be on your side, he won't show mercy to me and Julia. ”
Yin Zhen looked at Lao Lu in astonishment: "He really said that?!" ”
Lao Lu nodded, but he said again: "You don't have to worry, Julia and I can't just leave you aside for these two words of intimidation." Ah Zhen, you can rest assured, in the future, we will be in the villa area, and we will have to be like a family. ”
When he said this, he smacked his lips again: "Uh, speaking of which, Fourth Master, shouldn't I call you that?" ”
Yin Zhen shook his head and said, "It's okay." I'm nothing now. It's awkward to be called 'Fourth Master' or something. ”
Hearing him say this, Lao Lu was relieved, and he nodded and smiled: "You think it's awkward, I think it's an honor." Julia's girl doesn't know yet, does she? When you go back and tell her, she won't dare to bully you while working. ”
Lao Lu spoke with great interest, but Yinzhen kept his eyes down, and his face was covered with a heavy look.
After a long time, he stood up and said softly, "I'll go boil some water." ”
That night, Lao Lu was sleeping in a daze, but he was pushed awake.
Lao Lu opened his eyes, and through the faint moonlight in the forest, he saw Yinzhen standing in front of him, with an axe on his back and two bottles of water.
He hurriedly sat up: "Ah Zhen, what are you doing here!" ”
"I'm leaving, while the moon is good tonight, I can hurry." Yin Zhen said in a hoarse voice, "Your injuries are starting to heal, and you will be able to get up tomorrow." Lao Lu, you go back to the villa area alone, anyway, you will arrive after crossing the river. Julia is definitely waiting for you at home. ”
"What about you!" Lao Lu was anxious, "Where are you going alone!" ”
Yin Zhen was silent for a moment, as if he didn't hear his question: "I left three bottles of water, which should be enough on the road, and you can't move the axe, so I left the gun, and there are more than ten bullets in it." ”
"Why don't you go back with me!" Lao Lu was angry, "What nonsense!" How can you do it alone! ”
"Brother Nine wants to kill me, and if I go back to the villa area, it will only affect you and Julia." Yin Zhen paused, and then said, "Don't worry, the world is so big, there is always a place for me." ”
Then he turned around and quickly disappeared into the forest.
