Chapter 13: Sleepless
The night was dark.
After a night of tossing, it finally stopped.
In the cellar, it was cold and damp, and the walls around it were covered with gray-green moss, which was infested by mosquitoes.
Chen's mother was sick and tired, coupled with a night of fear and fear, she really couldn't support it, so she went back to her room and slept peacefully.
Seeing that there was a mess in the house, the younger brother Yunzhi used the excuse that it was almost spring, so he also went back to the house to hastily clean up and rest.
Only Siyu was left alone to take care of the young man in white.
She let out a long sigh, her brother should have left her to help, but he couldn't rely on it.
No way.
She had to take a mattress out of the house, set up a simple couch in the water cellar where only one person could turn around, and spread the quilt.
She pushed the man in white onto the couch, so that at least he would not be invaded by the earth's qi and the cold would enter his body.
In the cellar, the mosquitoes were attracted by the bloody breath of the man in white, and swarms of large, large black mosquitoes sucked the little blood of the man in white.
No matter how much she swung it, she didn't go, and those mosquitoes went and came, buzzing, making her scalp tingle.
She knew that this was not going to work, that this man would have to bleed to death.
As a last resort, I found a few mosquito coils in my boudoir and lit them.
But in this small space, I am afraid that the mosquitoes will not be smoked to death, and people will be stunned first.
She had to burn only a little mosquito coil, and the effect was better.
Only then did she have time to take a closer look at the white-clothed knight.
I saw that his two sword eyebrows were thick and black, his face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were closed, but his face was covered.
She couldn't help but wonder.
The first time he saw him, he covered his face with a white veil.
She wanted so much to see what this guy who dared to steal the treasury silver looked like.
She pulled the veil away, revealing a resolute, angular face.
It was the first time she had been so close to a strange man.
In the small water cellar, it is difficult for one person to turn around, but two people are forced into it, which shows the distance between the two.
The man's heavy, hot breath breathed on her face, and she couldn't stand it.
She wanted to leave, but suddenly felt that her hand was grabbed like an iron tong, and she almost screamed out in pain, and when she looked back, he actually grabbed her hand and didn't let go.
But his eyebrows twitched, but he never opened them, obviously, he was dreaming.
"Don't go, don't go, don't leave me!"
He's babbling.
Siyu couldn't break free, so he had to stay for the time being.
She looked up at the starry sky.
A full moon came out of the clouds, and the silver moonlight sprinkled down on Siyu and the man in white.
Everything around was shrouded in a cold, silvery white moonlight.
She didn't feel sleepy.
The morning glory of the next-door neighbor climbed over the courtyard wall and bloomed into small trumpet flowers of blue, yellow, light red and white.
In the moonlight, they are like silver bells, and when the night wind blows, they sway back and forth, but they can't make a sound!
At that moment, Siyu suddenly felt so tired.
She untied the silk scarf on her head, and let her long hair, like a waterfall, like ink, pour down.
She pursed her small lips and carefully and boldly judged the unconscious man in front of her.
Seeing that his face was stained with blood, he shook his head dissatisfiedly, dipped a little rainwater accumulated in the cellar with a hand towel, and slowly wiped the blood stains away.
I can't help but say that this guy looks so heroic.
She thought to herself.
As she was thinking this, she suddenly saw blood gushing from under him.
The blood stains, which had dried up, were once again washed away.
Her brows furrowed, and she followed the direction of the blood flow, only to find that he had been hit by an arrow, and the arrow was deeply embedded in the wound.
He had broken the shaft of the arrow, but the arrow remained in the wound.
That's why he bleeds.
Next, Siyu carefully examined his whole body and found that he only had such an arrow wound.
She wanted to help him pull out the arrow, but the young man in white immediately curled up in pain.
Siyu understood that if the arrow was allowed to stay in his body, then the injury would not be able to heal.
She hurried back into the house, took out scissors, and gauze, and went back to the cellar.
The scissors were deliberately roasted on the flame of the candle.
The reason why she did this was because she had seen a midwife give birth to a pregnant woman and do it.
It's a pity that she is still the same, and the midwife will prepare a basin of boiling water.
It's just that the lovely Siyu completely forgot.
Siyu had never treated such a wound.
She'd only seen the veterinarian next door pull out the spikes on the cow.
That was a very long time ago.
It was at least 10 years ago.
Siyu also wants to do the same.
I saw her holding gauze in one hand and scissors in the other, cutting the clothes of the young man in white.
What's next?
Siyu thought about it for a long time, things had passed too long, and her memory was not very good.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she remembered.
Tearing off the clothes on both sides, I found that the wound on this stomach was extremely deep, very deep.
She gasped, such a trauma is really uncertain!
But if this kind of wound is incurable, I am afraid that Doctor Cai will never be cured.
In the Ming Dynasty, all wounds caused by swords and arrows in the Ming army were not allowed to treat such patients.
Therefore, this time Siyu had to bite the bullet.
She stuck the shaft of the arrow with scissors, held gauze in one hand, and placed half a bottle of wine next to her.
I don't know if this is possible, but after thinking about it, it seems that there is no other way!
Otherwise, this man in white can only be a death.
Help him pull it out, and he might die, or maybe, that's the difference.
Siyu made a decision immediately!
It's time to witness the moment of miracle!
Siyu closed his eyes and sighed, just for a moment.
The man in white roared in great pain, and Siyu, who was frightened, hurriedly covered the wound with the gauze, but saw the blood rushing and washed away the gauze.
……
Siyu was stunned.
At this moment, Siyu didn't know what to do, and his mind went blank.
This pig-like howl is especially terrifying in the silent night!
alarmed his younger brother Chen Yunzhi in the house, and when he saw this scene, he quickly picked up a ball of rags to cover the wound.
Siyu poured a whole bottle of liquor on it with white wine.
Another scream!
Yunzhi was so angry that he scolded, "Sister, you want to hurt him to death!" ”
The man in white was trembling in pain, and he didn't know how long it had been since he pressed like this, but the blood had stopped in such a daze.
And the man in white fainted again.
Siyu felt a little guilty at that moment.
looked at the man in white worriedly, only to see that his face was even paler at this time, and there was a terrifying pool of blood under him.
Siyu couldn't help but worry about whether she had killed him like this, and cried with a whimper.
The younger brother Yunzhi cursed: "Sister, you really dare to do anything."
"I don't know! How could he have such a big reaction, I saw that his arrow was deeply stuck in the flesh, I wanted to help him pull it out, who would have thought that he would react so much? Blame me! ”
"Sister, I don't know if his howl just now alarmed the neighbors, if we get serious, I'm afraid that our family will have to walk around if they can't eat, it seems that tomorrow, we have to find a way to transfer him away."
Siyu thought for a while, "This is absolutely not good, he must not move now, don't worry, few people come to this place, if there are living people, we will cover him with the bluestone slab, sprinkle some grass and sundries, even if it is a fairy, it is difficult to find." ”
Siyu thought he had finished speaking triumphantly, only to find that his younger brother looked at him very strangely.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Why are you looking at your old lady like this! ”
"Sister, do you have a grudge against him?"
"No, he's kind to me!"
Si Yu said solemnly and seriously.
"I thought you were going to destroy the corpse, sister, you are trying to kill him!"
……
Yoon-sik was almost speechless to his old sister. But she is still very confident and dares to do anything!
For a while, he couldn't cry or laugh.
He looked at the wound he had just caused, it was a bloody hole! , very terrifying, no wonder this person just screamed so badly.
It can't go on like this!
He soaked the gauze in wine and pressed it against the wound.
"Sister, you press it first, don't be bleeding profusely!"
When Siyu heard this, he couldn't believe that his younger brother would cheat himself like this.
"How can you do that? Let me be here with him, we are lonely men and widows, is it good for me to spread it out like this? I'm a big girl with yellow flowers! ”
How do I know that my brother only said to her, "Sister, I have to go to Doctor Cai overnight to ask him for some white medicine, I will say that my mother is cold, coughing up blood and can't stop, in exchange for you with such a bloodstain, if you can go, then I will press it." ”
When Siyu heard this, he looked at himself, and then found that his face, hands, and body were stained with the blood of the man in white.
She nodded, "Okay, you can come back soon." ”
As he spoke, his brother rushed out the back door.
Regarding the excuse of his younger brother, Siyu was relieved, because Doctor Cai knew that his mother often coughed up blood.
Often in the middle of the night, both her brother and she had to find the Yunnan Baiyao on his door to stop the bleeding.
After a while, the younger brother came back and sprinkled the white medicine on the man's wound, and the bleeding completely stopped.
The man in white gradually had a human color on his face, and he was not so pale.
Siyu was somewhat relieved, and said to his younger brother, "Go back to sleep, I'll take care of him!" ”
Yun Sik looked at his sister strangely, "Sister, you are not afraid of being alone in the same room." ”
Chen Siyu looked at the eastern sky, which was already porcelain-white, and said to him, "It's almost dawn." ”
"Then you haven't slept all night, do you still go to the academy?"
Siyu nodded, "Yes, there is no way, otherwise how can I pay back the 10,000 taels of silver you owe?" ”
Hearing his sister say this, Yunzhi's face was once again ashamed, and he whispered to his sister: "Sister, I'm really sorry, I swear, I will never gamble again."
Chen Siyu had heard this countless times, and she looked at her younger brother helplessly.
Yoon-sik also understands that he has made countless oaths in front of his sister, but he has broken the oath again and again, does this time still count?
