Chapter Eighty-Six: The Tragedy of Life Begins
Saving Mo Xiangsi that day was the beginning of the tragedy of my life, if God gave me the opportunity to do it all over again, I would not have saved her if I died! - Long Yuan
***
The author is skeptical of the words in the introduction: "Then why did you save her this time?" Have you thought it through? ”
Long Yuan stayed. It didn't seem to be, he just remembered that he looked at the stupid woman who was stunned under the embankment, and then closed his eyes stupidly, and then Long Yuan saw that the embankment behind Mo Xiangsi was cracked, Long Yuan was just about to remind the woman, but the girl was so stupid that she closed her eyes, and at the last moment, Long Yuan just thought that he was going to be stupid to death by this woman! Then a cloud of anger welled up in his chest, and he rushed towards the woman without thinking.
He didn't even have time to think about whether it was possible to confront nature with a person's ability, he didn't even have time to think about whether it was possible for him to be buried in the flood with that stupid woman, he finally boiled it down to the fact that he was so angry when he looked at that woman so stupid, and people often acted irrationally when they were angry, but why did he still remember that at the moment when he was about to hold Mo Xiangsi, he seemed to remember the time when he forced Mo Xiangsi to jump into the West Lake, The woman turned her head to his begging look, and Long Yuan thought, maybe she was afraid of water.
So he just had time to hold her tight, watch her look at himself stupidly, come to her, and then be flooded with her.
Mo Xiangsi didn't have time to realize that he was dead, or rather. She didn't know what happened that day, she felt as if she had been knocked out with a stick, and if she really died. That's too unjust.
But Long Yuan felt that he was even more wronged, because he knew what he had done, but he really couldn't understand that he was stupid enough to do such an intolerable thing!
Therefore, when Long Yuan woke up, he felt that there might still be heavenly principles in this world.
Long Yuan felt like he had fallen apart in pain. He didn't know how many days he had been unconscious, and he didn't know where he was now, but he could see the commotion in front of him. Everywhere there were people in rags, coming and going, boiling medicine everywhere, men, women and children. Those who are not sick take care of those who are sick. All of them were pale, shivering from the cold and coughing incessantly. Long Yuan's brows furrowed tightly, this should be a refugee camp.
"Kid, are you awake?" An old woman in her forties and fifties was holding hot porridge in her hand, watching Long Yuan wake up, and hurriedly handed it over, "The old doctor's medical skills are really good, it's only been three days." And thou shalt wake up, alas. But it's also your young man who is in good health, not like that girl. ”
Long Yuan couldn't help frowning when he heard the names of "child" and "young man", and was just about to leave, but stopped when he heard the woman say the three words "that girl": "You mean the woman who came with me?" Where is she? ”
The old woman said, "Child, don't worry, you drink some porridge first, you haven't eaten well for a few days, you listen to me tell you slowly." ”
Long Yuan was really hungry at this time, he stared at the food in the old woman's hand for a long time, it was not that he was hypocritical and did not eat vulgar food, after all, it was not that he had not eaten anything more unpalatable than this. His caution about food was only whether it was poisonous or not, but now, seeing that it was full of displaced people, and that he had already been dressed in the same clothes as them, there was nothing to worry about at this point, so he took it and drank it.
"Child, that girl doll is not as good as you, unfortunately infected with the plague." As the old woman spoke, Long Yuan's heart lifted.
"Presumably, it's because the doll works too much, and her body is very weak. When the old doctor picked you up from the barren beach by the river, you were still alive, and the girl was dying. Because of the heavy flooding, many people were flooded, and the corpses were washed up on the shoals over there, and the old doctor often took the people in our village to see if there were any alive and rescued them. You see, most of the people here were rescued like that. ”
Long Yuan's brows furrowed tightly: "Where is she?" ”
The old woman saw that Long Yuan had also drunk porridge, his body was strong, and he was afraid that he would also recover some of his body at this time, so she said, "Can you go?" Come with me if you can, you young men are strong, and the doctor has arranged for you to be outside in the shed, with the children and women inside. ”
Long Yuan nodded and followed the old woman in, and sure enough, there were so many women and children in the room who kept coughing, most of them were also infected with the plague.
Long Yuan was a little angry: "But because that doctor brought her to this kind of place, she contracted the plague?" ”
The old woman hurriedly shook her head: "Child, it's not like this, you can't blame the old doctor, our lives were saved by the old doctor, besides, look at this Zhuangzi, where is there any other place for you to live?" ”
Long Yuan said: "At least those who are not infected with the plague should be separated from those who are infected with the plague!" Otherwise, the number of dead and wounded will only increase. ”
The old woman was stunned for a long time before she said with tears in her eyes: "You...... You kid, how can you say the same thing as the officers and soldiers outside. ”
Long Yuan asked in a cold voice: "Officers and soldiers, there are officers and soldiers here?" ”
Long Yuan, who was originally worried that he would not be able to contact his subordinates, was a little relieved at this time, and planned to leave this place with Mo Xiangsi in his arms and go to another place for treatment.
The old woman said: "At the beginning, several children in our village were infected with the plague, and then the officers and soldiers came to seal our village, and no one in our village was allowed to go out, and the sick children could not seek medical treatment, so they could only wait for death one by one...... My dog ......."
The old woman cried bitterly: "My dog baby has no plague, but a few days ago there was a fever, so I let them burn it together......"
Long Yuan looked at the old woman at this time, frowning, but did not speak again.
"Later, you should all thank the old doctor, if it wasn't for the old doctor, you would have been killed by them a long time ago, it was the old doctor who came to the village, treated the people in our village, gave us medicine, cured the sick, and prevented the sick ones, and he also led a few young children in the village to the beach washed by the river to save people, the dead were buried well, and the living were rescued, so that the plague in our village stopped.
You can't hate the old doctor, kid! Your life and the life of the girl doll were saved by him, you don't know, the girl was too badly injured, the old doctor looked at it, she was almost out of breath at that time, and said that it couldn't be cured. I was going to save you back, so I buried her, but you...... Your hand is so desperate that you can't separate it, the old doctor is soft-hearted, so he brought her back, but, but the girl, as soon as she came back, she was infected with the plague, and the old doctor had no choice, so she worked hard for the girl, and the girl was hard, and finally survived. ”
Long Yuan crossed the layers of crowds, and finally saw it on the innermost bed, that hard-nosed Mo Xiangsi, who had not seen her for a few days, but he didn't want her to be emaciated like this.
With a sallow face, pale lips, and protruding cheekbones, her eyes that have always been so bright are tightly closed, as if she no longer has the vitality she had at the beginning. Is this really Mo Xiangsi?
Long Yuan was stunned in place, his brows finally wrinkled again, he stepped forward to pick up Mo Xiangsi, turned around and planned to leave.
The old woman hurriedly stopped him: "Son, where are you taking her?" ”
The noisy crowd here also looked at the person who behaved abnormally, and they were at a loss for a while.
"It's not a good place for her to recuperate, I'm going to take her out."
The old woman hurriedly stopped: "Child, you can't get out, the officers and soldiers outside are guarding, if anyone dares to go out, they will kill them and burn them again." ”
Long Yuan frowned: "Didn't you say that the plague here has been controlled?" ”
"Where will people from outside believe it?" The old woman pulled Long Yuan.
Long Yuan took a deep breath, too, it was he who asked too stupidly, how could he not know this kind of thing.
But even so, he has to take Mo Xiangsi out.
After all, the environment here is too harsh. He didn't know how long Mo Xiangsi would last.
"I have my own way, so you don't have to be trapped here."
The old woman was about to say something, but she saw Long Yuan, who was originally walking fast, suddenly stopped.
Pain, an inexplicable pain slowly rose, Long Yuan's hand shook, and he almost threw Mo Xiangsi out of his arms.
Long Yuan tried to take a step forward, but the pain became more and more intense, he didn't know what was wrong with him? Is it hurt?
But when he woke up, he checked and found that there were no wounds on his body. But what's the deal with such heart-wrenching pain?
His vision was blurred as his brain washed over with increasing pain.
finally couldn't help but get down on one knee and had to let go of Mo Xiangsi.
The old woman was also dumbfounded, watching Long Yuan's cold face gradually appear with a painful look, she hurriedly greeted the young man who was sending medicine and bandages: "Hurry up, carry that girl back to the bed, and this child, also help her to the bed." ”
The pain gradually paralyzed his senses, Long Yuan looked at the figure in front of him who took away Mo Xiangsi, but his heart began to gradually clear, he was poisoned, he must have been poisoned? The things on his body are gone, his clothes are gone, he originally thought that he must have been washed away by the water, could it be them, they recognized their identity, so they poisoned themselves?
Who is it? Long Yuan grabbed the old woman in front of him who was trying to help him up: "It's you!" Did you poison me? ”
The old woman was also stunned: "Child, no, I, I don't have ......"
She suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out a small bottle from her arms, and poured out a black pill from it: "When the old doctor entrusted you to me, he said that if you are in pain, I will give you this, and it will not hurt if you eat it." Eat it, kid. (To be continued......) R1292
