Chapter 15: Killing Horses and Saving Relatives (3)
The man opened his eyes in a daze, and the only faint voice came from his breath, "Anning, save me, save me." After saying that, he fell unconscious again.
"Does he know me?" An Ning looked at him differently, vaguely feeling uneasy, she straightened the man's head with both hands, brushed away the fluffy hair on her face, and she put her hand between her lips in shock, "Brother Yanjir ......." She looked at the little girl lying beside her and guessed, "Could it be ...... , you are Ruolan ....... ”
An Ning called a few soldiers and carried Yangil and Ruolan back to their quarters, and Xuanluonu, the coachman, and the ministers stood in the center of the living room, and asked the doctor to take their pulse. The ministers were talking about it at the bottom, and they all had their own explanations.
"The Yanqi family perished overnight, the prince was able to escape alive, the heir did not die, it seems that the Yanqi tribe can still be saved. The Prime Minister said.
"Just him?" said the doctor with contempt, "In this chaotic world, how dare we send troops to fight for the land for him, the matter of Angel and Andy has already involved me in the dispute of Rob City, and I guess the king does not want to be involved in this matter." ”
"Sooner or later, the savages will be driven out of our land. The coachman glanced at the doctor with disdain, "Sooner or later, Prince Yangil will return to Yanqi." ”
An Ning listened to their discussions, and disgusted emotions welled up in her heart, and the doctor got up to report, "Miss, Prince Yangil's body is very weak, but there is no major problem, Miss Ruolan is cold and has no pulse, and it seems that there are no signs of life. ”
"Do whatever it takes to save her. An Ning ordered, "I want Miss Ruolan to wake up." Her eyes were red.
The doctor's expression was serious, and he fingers picked his chin and thought, "There is a way to try, I can't guarantee whether I wake up or not." ”
"One percent of the time you're going to have to try the doctor. An Ning's eyes were full of begging.
"I need a Miss Ma. The doctor said.
"What do you want horses to do?" An Ning asked with a surprised expression.
"Miss Ruolan needs to warm her body in the belly of the horse. "The doctor explained that if I still can't wake up, I'll have two horses, and if I can't wake up, then there's really nothing I can do, miss. ”
"No, I can't. Xuanluonu glanced at An Ning with his spare eyes, "The horses in my Luobu City have always been victorious, and horses are used to fight on the battlefield, not to save people." ”
"Then what if I have to save it?" An Ning turned his head to her, and there was a trace of anger in his heart, "Even if my father is here, I'm afraid he won't be able to behave me, unless you kill me." ”
Xuanluonu glanced at An Ning thoughtfully, for so many years, as a stepmother, she has always looked at her with her eyes, "The king is gone, everything here is up to me, I think you are the opposite." ”
"It's just two horses. An Ning stared at Xuanluonu's eyes, with an expression of unyielding, "There is no need for your commanding tone." ”
"...... you?" Xuanluonu's eyes were full of poisonous women, looking at the adults on the scene, with no dignity at all.
An Ning bypassed Xuanluonu's eyes, looked down at Ruolan who was lying on the bed, turned back to the doctor and said, "Please, Master Doctor, I'll take care of anything." ”
The doctor nodded, and called an attendant, "Someone." He commanded, "Carry Miss Ruolan to the stables." ”
Xuanluonu watched coldly from the side, a waiter picked up Ruolan and walked out of the room, An Ning followed the doctor, and everyone followed out. They chose a spacious area in the stable courtyard, and the attendant placed Ruolan on a stone slab. The stables brought a group of horses, fastened their limbs to stakes in all four directions with ropes, and when the stables plunged the knife into the horses' throats, An Ning turned his head away from the cruel scene. Blood spurted out like a waterfall from the cut of the blade, and the horse struggled with all his might, but it was all in vain, and when the blood flowed down like a wave, it was already on its knees, and soon it lay on the ground for a long time, its eyes open, and its body twitching until it did not move.
Then the physician went up to the horse, kicked the horse twice, made sure that he was no longer moving, and ordered the stable, "Cut the horse's belly." ”
The stableman brought a big knife and cut the horse's belly, and the attendant picked up Ruolan and put her whole body into the horse's belly, only the head was exposed. An Ning squatted down, touched Ruolan's face, forehead, and hair with her hands, then combined her hands, closed her eyes and begged, "The temple of Luobu City, the almighty ancestral god, the mother of heaven, the righteous father and the righteous mother, you must bless Ruolan to wake up, please." ”
I don't know how long it took, but many people left the scene, only An Ning, the driver and the doctor were there. An Ning squatted in front of the horse, the cold prompted her to wrap her cotton wool coat tightly around her body, she used Ha Qi to transmit the temperature to her hands, and her palms rubbed back and forth, but the cold still froze her hands and feet numbly.
"Miss Ruolan's mother is Miss's stepmother?" the doctor asked beside her.
"Yes. An Ning nodded, "She treats me like her own daughter." ”
"Your stepmother didn't hurt you in vain. The doctor said, "If Ruolan can wake up, it is God's kind favor to you." ”
"In this Rob City, I don't have many relatives anymore. An Ning said in a deep voice.
"You still have your father. The coachman corrected, "He loves you very much." ”
"But he never intended to save his sister. An Ning said in a rough voice to the coachman, "The people who love me have left me one by one." ”
"Don't think that the world is at the end of the world, sometimes it is more painful to live than to die. The coachman comforted, "More than 30 years ago, the savages killed nearly 200 people in my family, I thought it was the end of the world, but in fact, your father saved me and let me survive, and now, I am still a third-grade official, and there are hundreds of people in my family, and I can be regarded as earning in my life." More than 20 years ago, the Red Tooth led an army to attack Rob City, and Rob City suffered countless casualties, and everyone thought that Rob City was going to cease to exist, and it was Holch who sent troops to repel the Red Tooth people and save us. Now that we are enslaved by the Red Fangs, and the Yanqi tribe has all perished overnight, isn't it the end of the world for those who are alive?"
"So Master. An Ning replied, "I have to practice my arrows well, I have to make myself strong, I have to save my sister from the Red Fangs, and Andy has to come back safe and sound." ”
"The royal court of the Red Tooth can be regarded as really powerful, and now, we are the slaves of the Red Fang people, and if you want to destroy us, it is like trampling an ant child to death. The coachman looked at An Ning with fatherly eyes, "Your father also wants to save his own child, and if there is a way, he will not let Andy, who is not yet eleven years old, go to make peace with a bad old man in his sixties." ”
"Your master is right. The doctor touched the horse's body temperature, "You can't be willful, the courtiers of Rob City are now shaky, as the young lady of Rob City, you should reassure them." ”
An Ning pursed her lips, sighed deeply, and did not speak.
"It's past the time of the three sticks of incense. The doctor touched the horse's body temperature and said, "Let's change the horse, the horse has no temperature anymore." ”
An Ning nodded, and the doctor asked the horse to bring another horse and kill it in the same way, at this time, An Ning did not look back, watching the horse's blood spurt out like a waterfall, struggle, and fall to the ground until there was no breath. The horse's belly was cut open again, and the attendant took Ruolan out of one horse's belly and put it into the belly of the other, "This is our last bet, Miss." ”
The coachman looked directly at An Ning and saw tears rolling in her eyes, "No matter what the result, you have done your best." He patted An Ning's shoulder to comfort An Ning.
An Ning nodded slightly, squatted beside the horse, looked at Ruolan's cheeks, and her expression seemed to wake her up, "Please, Ruolan, you must wake up." ”
The night was already deep, and about another hour of three incense sticks had passed, the doctor touched Ruolan's breath, and opened her eyes to see that the horse's body was cold, and said to An Ning, "Take Miss Ruolan back to the room first, if she can wake up at the twenty-four incense hour, she will be considered alive." ”
An Ning nodded, she faced the coachman, "Master, please pass on the order, the news that Brother Yanjier and Ruolan are alive must be blocked, and no news should be leaked." ”
"Yes, Miss. The coachman replied, "You are very reminded." ”
At this time, the doctor ordered the attendant to pull Ruolan out of the horse's body and carry her back to An Ning's room, and An Ning ordered the maid to give Ruolan a bath, change her clothes and put her on the couch.
After Anning fed Ruolan the medicine, she seemed to be a little tired, she walked into Ruolan, she sat on the couch, holding a hand with both hands, Ruolan was sallow, skinny and haggard, and her eyes were deep, like two black holes. She looked more like a lonely leaf that was weak and windless, and a gust of wind was enough to blow her away, and there was not a trace of breath rising and falling under the shattered skeleton.
