Chapter 993: Floating Dust (Part II)

The ugly hour had already passed, and the stars in the sky seemed to dim as the night deepened, and the clouds seemed to be scattered across the canopy.

There are only two rooms in the courtyard that can be used, and the lights are being shaded at this time, and the little military doctor of the Black Flag Army gives first aid to a total of five seriously wounded people, and Huang Shan occasionally brings out a hot water basin with blood, in addition, from time to time, the little military doctor can be heard scolding Huang Jianfei and Qu Longjun in the room.

The blood was poured into a jar and sealed for the time being. In addition, some people began to cook in the kitchen under the command of Yan Ying, and most of them were people who licked blood from the knife edge, and they were already hungry after being nervous, fighting and running away in the middle of the night.

When the little military doctor was dealing with the seriously wounded in the room, the few people who were not seriously injured outside had already bandaged themselves, and they monitored the outside on the roof and wall for a while. After feeling that things were a little calmer, Huang Nanzhong and Yan Ying met and discussed for a while, and then Huang Nanzhong called Ye Zi, who had the best light skills in the family, and led him through the city to find a person who had been scheduled to see if he could get out of the city tomorrow morning. Yan Ying also summoned one of his subordinates and asked him to go back to find Guan Shanhai in order to find a way back.

"We've all fallen for the devil." Looking at the treacherous night outside the courtyard, Yan Ying sighed, "The situation in the city is like this, the Black Flag Army has known about it for a long time, and if the demons don't stop it, they want to warn everyone with such a chaotic situation...... Before tonight, there was a lot of talk in the city about 'taking risks', and many of those who said this were probably the work of the Black Flag. After tonight, everyone will have to put away the trouble. ”

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuoquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the court, and no one was afraid. It can be powerful and oppressive, and it is never rare to last long. Huang Nanzhong said, "As long as he can't convince people with virtue and reason, there will always be successors." ”

The riots in the city were faintly coming, and the two were chatting a few words under the eaves, uneasy. Speaking of the little military doctor again, Yan Ying said: "This little doctor surnamed Long, can you really trust it?" ”

"He violated military discipline and secretly sold medicine, it was a month ago, and if Black Flag wants to set up, he won't let a fourteen or fifteen-year-old doll come. It's just that he grew up in Black Flag since he was a child, and even if he commits a crime, it's hard to say whether he can help us with all his heart. ”

"If you can catch a person with a black flag and let him kill it with his own hands, you don't have to guess."

When Yan Ying said this, his eyes looked out of the courtyard, and Huang Nanzhong also nodded and looked around. At this time, there were still eighteen people in the courtyard, and after removing five seriously injured people, Wen Shoubin's father and daughter and the two of themselves, there were still nine people with martial arts, and it was not impossible to catch a lone black flag.

But the two were silent for a moment, and Huang Nanzhong said: "In this case, it's better not to make extraneous branches." Now the yard is full of good players, and I also explained to Jian Fei and them, pay attention to this little military doctor, he can't play any tricks at his age. ”

Yan Ying's face was gloomy and nodded: "That's why I have to do it...... Yan has a relative who died at the hands of the black flag today, and he is thinking too much about it now, if there is any offense, please forgive me. ”

Huang Nanzhong also arched his hand, his eyes were grim: "What Huang brought today, it is said that it is a family general, in fact, many people I have watched them grow up, some are like nephews, some are like brothers, plus Ye Zi here, there are only five people left." I don't know what happened to other people, and whether they will be able to escape from Chengdu in the future...... Regarding Brother Yan's mood, Huang is also average and empathetic. ”

After the two finished saying this, Huang Nanzhong said hello, turned around and went into the room to check the situation of first aid.

At the back, there are just two blue brick houses connected side by side, with simple furnishings and simple furnishings. According to the previous statement, it was the only property that the little military doctor of the Black Flag Army used the army pension to build in Chengdu after his family died. Since it was originally a one-person apartment, there was only one bed in the room, and it was used as an emergency desk.

In a hurry, everyone spread straw, rags and other things on the ground for the injured to lie down. When Huang Nanzhong came in, three of the original five wounded had already done emergency treatment and bandaging at this time, and were taking out the bullet in the leg for the fourth wounded.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, the little military doctor was scolding, Huang Jianfei was also chattering, and the girl named Qu Longjun was carefully wiping the blood and sweat for the little military doctor on the side, and her face looked like she was about to cry. Everyone was stained with blood, and there were seven or eight candles lit in the room, and even though the summer had passed, it was still indescribably hot. When Huang Shan saw the master of the family come in, he came to say hello in a low voice.

Although the little military doctor's words were not clean, the movements under his hands were fast and orderly, Huang Nanzhong glanced at it a few times, and then nodded. He didn't enter the door mainly to instruct the operation, turned his head to look into the corner of the room, and saw Chen Wei and Qin Gang two heroes lying there.

The killer named Chen Wei is the general under the "ghost plot" Ren Jingzhu, at this time due to serious injuries, half of his body was bandaged, and he was lying there motionless, if it wasn't for Huang Shan to report that he was fine, Huang Nanzhong would almost think that the other party was dead.

Qin Gang, who was next to Chen Wei, was a little bigger, but after first aid, he refused to close his eyes and rest, at this time he put a pillow behind his back, half lying and half sitting, with two steel knives in his hand, as if he was not familiar with everyone, he was still vigilant about the surrounding environment and guarding the safety of his companions.

He had the heart to get close to the other party, walked over and said, "Qin Yingying, your injury is not light, you are bandaged, it is best to take a rest......"

I only heard that Qin Gang said: "I haven't left the dangerous place, and I don't dare to sleep peacefully." What's more, those of my generation who practice martial arts can survive the pain of today, and it is nothing to suffer this injury again in another day. ”

"Heroes are truly iron-blooded, admirable." Huang Nanzhong arched his hand, "Please rest assured that as long as I am here, even if I risk my life tonight, I will definitely protect the two of you." This is for ...... In the future, when we talk about today's demon slaying move, I can put the name of a hero like Grandmaster Zhou in front of me, and I will not be sorry for my life at this time......"

When he said Zhou Tong, Qin Gang fell silent for a while, as if he was listening to the voice outside: "Is there any movement outside?" ”

"There are still people who come forward one after another, the Black Flag Army is fierce and amazing, but they are unrighteous and helpless, maybe tomorrow at dawn, we can hear the news of the devil's ambush...... And even if they can't, with today's feats, there will be a steady stream of people coming to him tomorrow. Today is just the first time. ”

His voice was calm, and even in a room filled with blood and heat, it gave people a sense of stability. That Qin Gang glanced at him a few times, gritted his teeth and said, "My three junior brothers died under the sword and gun of the black flag...... But my brother and I are still alive, and today's revenge will be avenged tomorrow. ”

"Definitely." Huang Nam Middle Road.

The two were talking here, and the little doctor who was saving people over there snorted: "I found the door myself, my skills are not as good as others, but I am still shouting for revenge......"

The young man's tone was unpleasant, several seriously injured people in the room were holding their lives in each other's hands before, and Huang Jianfei was advised by his master, so it was inconvenient to have a seizure. But in the current situation, who didn't hold a fire in his heart, even if Qin Gang glared angrily at the other party, Huang Nanzhong, who was sitting on the side, also flashed a trace of uncertainty in his eyes, but patted Qin Gang's hand, turned his back to the little doctor, and spoke lightly.

"This year, the Jurchens have ravaged the Central Plains and fought all over the south of the Yangtze River, and today, the displaced people are scattered, and this year I don't know how many people will starve to death in hunger and cold. This scene has been in the Central Plains for ten years, at the beginning of the change of children and food, and later thousands of miles without a rooster crow, not a joke. Aotian, you are in Chengdu, what you see is wealth and prosperity, but today, many people are really dying of cold and starvation. What are you here for? ”

The little doctor was holding a knife in his hand, and there was blood on half of his face, as if he didn't expect the other party to dare to fight back: "You can't beat the Jurchens, blame the southwest?" ”

Huang Nanzhong was calm: "The Wu Dynasty has established several faint monarchs, there is nothing to say about this, and now he has lost the country, and the world is divided, which can be regarded as a cycle of heaven, and good and evil are rewarded." But how innocent are the people of the world? Dai Mengwei Dai Gong of Xicheng County, saved millions of soldiers and civilians in the hands of the Jurchens, and the Black Flag Army said that he won the hearts of the people and would not pursue it for the time being, but why? It's all because Black Flag is not responsible for those millions, if not millions. ”

He said eloquently: "Of course, the scene is well said, Black Flag has that demon in charge, and on the surface it is open to the door and willing to do business with the Quartet. So what is business? Today, the rest of the world has been smashed and there are a bunch of worthless bottles and cans, only the Huaxia military is abundant, and on the surface it is doing business, saying that if you bring money and things, I will sell things to you, and in private it is not to take advantage of everyone. He's going to peel off the skin and bones of every family again......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If it was in previous years, there was nothing to say about this kind of businessman's way, and he did business, which was his ability. But now these businesses are related to human lives, and if the devil wants to do this, he will naturally have a hard time, and he wants to come here, so that the black flag can change to a less powerful leader, so that the people outside can live more, so that the black flag is truly worthy of the name of China. ”

His words were calm and calm, and Qin Gang on the side nodded again and again when he heard it, and squeezed Huang Nanzhong's hand hard. The little doctor on the other side is saving people, engrossed, only feeling that these voices are in his ears, that sentence seems to be reasonable, but which sentence is extremely awkward, when the injury is dealt with to a certain stage, I want to refute or speak sarcastically, I organize my thoughts but I don't know where to start.

Huang Nanzhong stood up: "Okay, the truth of the world is not as straightforward as we think, Doctor Long, you save people first." When you save a few heroes, you still have something to say, and the old man will talk to you again, and I won't bother here for now. ”

He was angry in his heart, but after all, he could distinguish the importance clearly, so what good would it do to dismiss these teenage Black Flag members at the moment? Even if you want to do something, you can only wait until the other party saves people before making plans.

Saying goodbye to Qin Gang at the moment, he patted Huang Jianfei and Huang Shan on the shoulders, and went out of the room, at this time, the fourth seriously injured person in the room was almost bandaged.

In the courtyard outside, everyone had already cooked rice in the kitchen, and found a small jar of pickled vegetables from the corner of the kitchen, and each shared it. The night was dangerous and long, and everyone was tense for half the night, when they snorted and poured rice into their mouths, some stopped and cursed, and some remembered the brothers who had died earlier, and couldn't help but shed tears. Huang Nan Center understands that men don't flick when they have tears, and that is not to the sad place.

It was difficult to summarize the tension, danger and fear of this night. People have already imagined the scene of many launches before they start, there are successes and failures, but even if they fail, they will always end up with a vigorous attitude - they have heard countless times in the past when Zhou Dong assassinated Zong Han, and this time Chengdu time has been swaggering for more than a month, and countless people are talking about it.

When the explosion started last night, they heard the commotion in the first half of their patience, and their mood was also excited. But no one expected that it was really their turn to do it, but it was just a moment of chaos, they rushed forward, they fled quickly, some people saw their companions fall beside them, some personally faced the black flag army's wall-like shield array, wanted to make a move but could not find a chance, half of them were even a little confused, before they could get started, the companions in front of them fled back with blood - if they hadn't turned around and fled, they wouldn't have been dragged around.

They didn't know if the other rioters were facing such a scenario, but the night's fear had not yet passed, and even if they found the small courtyard of the military doctor to hide temporarily, it did not mean that they would be safe and sound. Once the Huaxia Army solves the situation on the street, there will inevitably be a big manhunt for those who have escaped, and they may not be able to leave the city...... And the little military doctor is not necessarily credible......

Eating like this, everyone recalled the previous embarrassment and embarrassment, and then thought about the next situation and danger, and the atmosphere in the courtyard was depressing for a while. The "Sizhou Murder Knife" Mao Hai was irritable, and couldn't help but ask several times: "The kid surnamed Long didn't do anything, right?" ”

"Do you want to go in and have a look?"

"I don't think he's necessarily credible."

He chattered, and couldn't help but go into the room twice, one of which obviously clashed with the little military doctor, the little military doctor shouted "If there is a kind, do it", but because of Huang Jianfei's protection, Mao Hai could only suppress his anger.

Huang Nanzhong and Yan Ying persuaded him in the past: "What's the use of being angry at this time?" ”

Mao Hai's eyes were red, and he said sullenly: "My brother is dead, he rushed ahead and was hacked to death by the gang of dog thieves in Black Flag...... ...... hacked alive before my eyes"

His voice was unusually depressed, and Huang Nanzhong and Yan Ying had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder: "The situation is undecided, a few righteous people in the room are still waiting for the little doctor's healing, after this hurdle, you can do anything, there are so many of us, we won't let people die in vain." ”

There are small episodes in which people stand or sit or walk back and forth in the courtyard, and every movement outside makes people nervous, and those who are sleeping suddenly sit up from under the eaves. sweet potato

The ugly time was coming to an end, the starlight in the courtyard became dim, and the first aid treatment in the room was temporarily completed. The little military doctor, Huang Jianfei, Qu Longjun and others came out of it. Huang Jianfei went over to report the results of the first aid to his master: the lives of the five people have been saved, but what will happen next has to be seen slowly.

When the little military doctor saw that there were people eating in the courtyard, he also walked towards the wooden shed in the corner of the courtyard that served as a kitchen. Qu Longjun went to see her restless father-in-law, and when she heard that Shoubin asked her to eat something, she also walked over there, ready to get some water to wash her hands and face first, and then see if she could eatβ€”this night, she actually wanted to vomit for a long time.

When I arrived at the kitchen, the little military doctor was adding food in front of the stove, and the swordsman named Mao Hai was blocking outside, trying to find fault, and seeing Qu Longjun coming over and wanting to go in, he made way and said: "Don't think that this kid is a good thing, he will sell us sooner or later." ”

Qu Longjun was resigned, went in to get water, and waited for the other party to leave with a bowl, so she sensibly added two bowls of rice and sandwiched some pickled vegetables - although she couldn't eat it for the time being, she didn't forget to bring a bowl to Huang Jianfei and Huang Shan.

At this time, the atmosphere in the courtyard scared her.

A group of fierce and vicious, knife-licking people are more or less wounded, with a slight bloody breath around the courtyard or standing or sitting, some people's eyes are staring at the little military doctor of the Huaxia Army, and there are also such and such eyes secretly looking at themselves.

- The eyes that looked at the little military doctor were not kind, and there was bloodlust in vigilance, and the little military doctor was probably very scared, just sitting on the steps to eat and die to death; As for the eyes that looked at her, she had seen a lot in the past, she understood what the meaning of those eyes was, in this kind of chaotic night, such eyes were even more dangerous to herself, and she could only try to ask for some kindness in front of people who were more familiar, and add food to Huang Jianfei and Huang Shan, which was a move to protect herself under this fear.

Huang Nanzhong and Yan Ying are the real core figures in this courtyard, they moved the wooden stake and were sitting under the eaves chatting with each other, Huang Jianfei and another Jianghu person were also beside them, and at this time, I didn't know what to say, Huang Nanzhong beckoned to the little military doctor: "Brother Long, come here." ”

While eating, the young man went over to sit on the steps under the eaves, Qu Longjun also came to deliver food to Huang Jianfei, and Huang Nanzhong asked: "Your name is Long Aotian, this name is very exquisite, very imposing, and extraordinary, presumably you have a good family background in the past, and your parents have read books?" ”

Long Aotian picked up the food: "I haven't read much, my father is a doctor, and my mother is a farmer in the countryside." ”

"Oh? Then where did you get your name, you can't have such a big name anywhere else. ”

"Mr. Ning killed the emperor, so there are a lot of children named this in the Huaxia Army over the years, I was changed at the age of six, and there are also people called Batian, Dragon Slayer, and King Killer in the next village."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I see. Huang Nanzhong and Yan Ying were stunned, then nodded, and Qu Longjun couldn't help laughing on the side, and then turned around to the room and sent food to Huang Shan.

Coming out of the room, under the eaves, Huang Nan and Zhong were reasoning with the little military doctor.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Didn't you have some doubts in the house before, and now I will tell you what Mr. Ning has done...... "Guanzi" contains, Shinong and industry are the four people, the scholar is the first, the farmer is second, the worker is second, the merchant is the last, why the merchant is at the bottom, it is not unreasonable, the merchant is heavy on profit and light on righteousness, and he can't have it at all, but if there are too many, it will become a big disaster......"

"Why?" The little military doctor interjected.

"Huh?"

"Why is too much of a problem?"

"He values profit over righteousness, if there is only profit and morality in this world, then can you still live in this world? I'll give you an analogy...... It was the eleventh year of Jinghan, and the right minister Qin Siyuan was still in power, and the floods and droughts in the world were all bad, and there were food shortages in countless places...... For disaster relief, the imperial court has allocated funds, but he is different, for personal gain, he mobilized merchants from all over the country to make a big deal of this national disaster ......"

"After this money was distributed, the huge power of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion spread all over the world, and even Cai Jing and Tong Guan at that time could not stop their sharpness, what did he do? He used the wealth of the country and the people to support his own soldiers, so when he besieged Bianliang for the first time, only the soldiers on hand of the right minister and his two sons could fight, is it a coincidence......"

"Obviously not like this......" The little military doctor frowned, and he couldn't swallow the last bite of food.

Yan Ying on the side patted him on the shoulder: "Child, you are only fourteen years old, you grew up in the Black Flag Army, there will be someone who will tell you the truth, you go out with us this time, and when you go outside, you can know what the truth is." ”

Long Aotian stared at him, unable to refute for a while.

Huang Nanzhong said: "Let's take the current matter as an example, Aotian, you grew up in the Black Flag Army, and you probably don't think there is anything wrong with the Black Flag Army's statement that the contract is heavy." You will feel that the Black Flag Army is willing to open the door, is willing to do business, and is willing to sell grain, you think it is expensive, just don't buy it, but today, how many people can afford to buy the Black Flag Army's things, saying that it is open the door, but in fact it is closed...... Just like the disaster relief back then, the price of grain rose to 30 taels, and there is also a price, and the businessman said, you can't buy it if it's too expensive...... So don't so many people starve to death, it's not okay to talk about business here, and the only thing that can save the people of the world is the righteousness in the heart......"

Yan Ying on the side answered: "Na Ning Demon does things, he talks about the rules in his mouth, in fact, it is all business, and now so many people want to kill him this time, isn't it because it seems that he has given others a way to go, but in fact there is no way out." If you follow his path, the people of the world will not be able to save you after all...... Regarding this Ning demon, Wu Qimei Meigong of Lin'an has an eloquent article, detailing his four major sins in the Huaxia army: cruelty, cunning, madness, and tyranny. Child, if you can get out, you should read this article repeatedly. ”

Huang Nanzhong said slowly: "In addition, there are two fundamental mistakes in the Naning Devil, one is that he is reckless and kills the king, so that there is no room for things to turn around, but he is so arrogant that he claims to destroy Confucianism and laughs for the world." His study of things is a good thing, but because of the things he does, he can't be generalized. There are also heroes in the Black Flag Army, but it's a pity that they can't reconcile with the world with this devil......"

He continued: "Just imagine, if this Ning Demon Boss dies today or someday in the future, the Huaxia Army can become the Huaxia Army of the world, and many people are willing to associate with here, and the study of things can be widely promoted. In this world, the Han people don't have to fight each other, so ...... Rocket technology can be used in our Han military formation, and the Jurchens are nothing...... But as long as he is there, as long as he has a history of killing kings, no matter what the world is, there can be no peace talks, and how many people and innocents will die because of this, they could have been saved. ”

Huang Nanzhong said this and sighed: "It's a pity, this Chengdu incident still fell into the calculation of this devil after all......"

He and Yan Ying were talking here, and three warriors came over to listen, and at this time, listening to him talk about calculations, some people asked in doubt. Huang Nanzhong repeated the previous words, about the advance layout of the Huaxia Army, the public opinion on the assassination in the city may have the influence of the Huaxia Army's meticulous work and so on.

Huang Nanzhong said: "It is said that those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, and the real royal road does not lie in killing." Chengdu is the territory of the Huaxia Army, and the Ning Demon could have been arranged to contain tonight's chaos in the realization, but the Ning Demon is murderous, and he has long been accustomed to killing and using blood to alert others, he just wants others to see how many people died tonight...... But this kind of thing can't scare everyone, and look, there will be more righteous people coming to fight against it one day. ”

Next to Mao Haidao: "If he comes back in the future, Lao Tzu will kill the whole family of this devil to avenge today's revenge......"

A knight with a bandage on the side of his face said: "I heard that his family has six or seven wives, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers...... Chen said that Chen Yingying is the best at disguise, if he didn't want to assassinate the demon this time, but to assassinate a few of his dead ghost wives and children, maybe he would have succeeded a long time ago......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ At present, Chen Yingying is not dead, I think it is the retribution of the devil. ”

Someone said to the little military doctor next to him, "You know now, right?" If you still have a little bit of humanity, then don't give Mr. Ning Mr. Changning a short one! ”

Someone kicked him in the back, but he didn't use any force, only kicked his body and shook it forward, and said: "Lao Tzu has long seen that you are unhappy with this black flag dog." The little military doctor turned his head to look back with a fierce gaze, and since the five wounded in the room still needed his photo, Huang Jian Fei got up and pushed the other party away.

Everyone then continued to talk about the ferocity and brutality of the demon head of Naning, and some people stared at the little military doctor and continued to curse - the little military doctor scolded and scolded because he still had to save people, but now that the first aid is done, there is no need to have so many scruples.

Sitting in the courtyard, Qu Longjun was a little unbearable for this little military doctor, who also had no strength to fight back and had saved people before. Wen Shoubin pulled her aside: "Don't get too close to that kid, beware that he won't die well today......"

Hearing that there was a huge ominous aura in Shoubin's words, Qu Longjun blinked, and after a long time, he finally nodded silently. What can she do in such a situation?

The time had already reached midnight while everyone was talking, and the light in the sky was even darker. There was occasional movement in the city, but the mood of the people in the courtyard finally quieted down a little after a period of excitement, and the time was about to enter the darkest part of the morning.

Qu Longjun leaned against the wall and pretended to sleep, and occasionally when someone moved, she would wake up and look at her for a while. The little military doctor was targeted twice, once because he was deliberately pushed, once when he went into the room to check on the wounded, and was blocked by Mao Hai at the door and scolded a few words.

The lights in the room have been completely extinguished after the injury has been treated, the stove has no flames, the courtyard is squirming, and the figures under the starlight seem to have a touch of gray blue, Qu Longjun clasped his hands and knees, sitting there looking at the faint sparks in the sky in the distance, how long will this long night pass? She thought about this in her heart, many years ago, her father went out to fight, and he couldn't come back, and she cried all night in the yard, watching the night go to the deepest, and the day was bright, and she waited for her father to come back, but his father never came back.

In the years since her father's death, she has traveled all the way and traveled to some places, and she has long since lost positive expectations for the future. It is good not to stay in the Huaxia Army and take over the task of meticulous work, but when I go back, I am just selling it to that big family as a concubine...... This night's worry made her feel tired, she had been frightened by this and that before, she was afraid that if she was killed by the Huaxia Army, there would be people who would be furious and do something to herself. But fortunately, in the next period of time, I will spend it quietly, so I don't have to be afraid of this......

She thought to herself.

At about two o'clock, Huang Nanzhong and Yan Ying sat on a wooden stake, leaning against the wall to beat their spirits, occasionally talking a few words, without rest. Although he is mentally exhausted, it is speculated that there will be rioters who will choose to take action at such a moment. The people in the courtyard too, the people watching from the roof opened their eyes wide, Mao Hai walked through the eaves, holding his knife, Huang Shan went out and took a few breaths and went in, and the rest of the people also tried to stay awake as much as possible, waiting for the movement outside - if they could kill the Ning Demon Head, the next thing they would greet was the real dawn.

The light did not come.

The one who kicked the little military doctor Long Aotian earlier was a chivalrous man under Yan Ying, who drank water and walked under the eaves and took a look at the little military doctor who stood up. The knight was two heads higher than the other party, and at this time, his eyes were wide and he was about to hit his body, and the little military doctor also walked up.

Qu Longjun's vision couldn't see what was going on - she didn't react at all, as soon as the two of them touched, the chivalrous man let out a "hmm" sound, and pressed his hands down suddenly, and the pace that was still moving forward retreated wildly in an instant, and his body hit the pillar under the eaves.

Everyone looked at each other in amazement.

The next moment, a young man named Long Aotian waved his hands sideways. The light of the sword, the blood, and the other party's internal organs flew up in the night sky before dawnβ€”
