In early autumn, there is often a strong wind blowing in Chengdu, and the trees with dense leaves are blown out by the wind in the courtyard. The wind blows through the windows and into the room, and if there is no wound on the back, it will be a good autumn.

The back injury has been around for several days, and despite proper medication and bandaging, the pain continues to come and go, along with chest tightness caused by lying on the bed for a long time. Qu Longjun moved occasionally, but after lying on his stomach for a long time, it was useless.

In the last few days, Qu Longjun has passed in uneasy fear.

Since following Wen Shoubin to Chengdu, it is not that he has not imagined the current situation: going into danger, revealing the conspiracy, and encountering all kinds of bad luck after being arrested...... However, for Qu Longjun, a sixteen-year-old girl, there were not many choices in the past.

There is no choice, in fact, there is not much fear.

When she was young, she listened to her parents' arrangements for all kinds of things, and before she could grow up, her home was gone, and she was sold to Wen Shoubin after a bumpy toss...... These things are not glorious to say, but in fact, since she was really sensible, her life has been arranged by others.

This kind of life is like being driven down a narrow road, and I am really used to it, but there is nothing wrong with it. Wen Shoubin is not a good person, but if she really wants to say bad, at least she already understands his badness. He raised her, married her off or gave her to someone at some point, and he probably couldn't take care of her, but at least there weren't many things to worry about until that day came.

Life's ups and downs often arise without warning.

A few months ago, the news of the defeat of the Jurchens by the Huaxia army spread, and Wen Shoubin suddenly began to tell them some big truths, and then arranged for them to come to the southwest. Qu Longjun's heart was vaguely at a loss, her future was shattered.

After arriving in the southwest and staying for two months, Wen Shoubin began to make friends from all walks of life, and began to slowly figure it out, and everything seemed to be back on track. But on the night of the twentieth day, a crowd rushed in from outside the courtyard, and danger came again.

Packed up their things, fled, and then went to the courtyard of the small Chinese military doctor, and the people discussed leaving Chengdu. In the middle of the night, Qu Longjun also thought that it would be okay to do this, so that everything would go back, who knew that there would be such a bloody scene next.

Wen Shoubin died suddenly, so lightly, the other party just pushed him into the fight casually, he was in a pool of blood in a blink of an eye, and he didn't even leave half a last word.

The fight in the courtyard was also sudden, but it was violent and abnormal. The explosion shook through the room, and the five wounded were killed along with the fall of the house, and among those wounded there were even such and such "heroes", and the fight outside the hospital was only a simple confrontation, with people swinging knives at each other with sharp blades, and in the blink of an eye, one fell and another in the blink of an eye...... She didn't have time to comprehend this, she didn't understand the fight, she didn't understand the death, and she fell with it.

When she opened her eyes, she fell into the hands of the Black Flag Army, and Wen Shoubin, who was not kind but really provided her with the eaves in the past, died lightly and forever.

The sixteen-year-old girl, like a snail with its shell peeled off, was thrown into the field. She has long been accustomed to the evil of Wen Shoubin, the evil of the Black Flag Army, and the evil of this world, she does not have a clear concept.

But presumably, it would be a hundred times more sinister than Wen Shoubin.

She remembered the dim darkness of the courtyard, where blood dripped from the tip of the boy's knife......

……

There was always the smell of medicine and the sound of people wafting in the courtyard outside the house, and in the morning, the sun always poured in through the half-open windows, and the autumn wind blew through her, making her feel as if she was not wearing clothes.

Lying on the white bed, her back was always painful, her chest was uncomfortable, and if she could move at will, she would rather curl herself up in a ball or hide in a corner that no one else could see.

The day after she was injured, someone came to interrogate her about a lot of things. The relationship with Wen Shoubin, the purpose of coming to the southwest, etc., she originally wanted to pick a good one, but after the other party said her father's name, Qu Longjun knew that it was difficult to get lucky this time. Although his father died because of the black flag back then, but in the process of sending troops, he must have killed many people with the black flag, and as his daughter, he came to the southwest to make trouble for revenge, how could he be easily let go if he fell into their hands?

In this kind of cognition, a few days passed, and on the afternoon of the twenty-third day, a little doctor named Long Aotian appeared in her room with a straight face, holding a notebook to ask about her injuries, she replied one by one, and her body was so nervous that she didn't dare to move.

This little doctor's appearance seems to be pure, but in the early hours of that morning, she had already seen the other party's scheming and acting skills, as well as the ruthlessness and ruthlessness when killing. She still didn't quite understand the reason why the Black Flag Army left her life, but when she saw this little doctor, she vaguely guessed in her heart that she was probably going to be forced into some conspiracy again.

As for what will happen, I can't think clearly for a while, and I don't dare to speculate too much. This young man grew up in a treacherous place in the southwest, so he developed a despicable and ruthless character at such an age, Wen Shoubin not to mention, even if Huang Nanzhong, Yan Ying and other characters are still played with by him in applause, what can a woman like himself resist? If he is unhappy, he doesn't know what kind of torture methods will await him.

"A hundred days of broken bones." After asking about his condition, Long Aotian said, "But your injuries are not serious, it shouldn't be that long, there is a shortage of people in the health center recently, I will come to take care of you, you have a good rest, don't mess around, get out of here quickly." That's it. ”

That afternoon, the other party said these words to give an explanation. During the whole process, Qu Longjun could feel that the other party's mood was not high, and he frowned the whole time. She was too frightened by the other party's warning to "rest well, don't mess around", and as for "get out of here quickly", maybe she had to wait until she was better to deal with herself, or she was forced into some conspiracy.

In this way, the next day, the little military doctor brought her three meals a day and a decoction of medicine, and the most surprising thing to her was that the other party actually came to clean the night pot under her bed for her in the morning--made her feel that such a ruthless person could be so informal, and perhaps because of this, he had no obstacle in calculating and killing people--these things made her more and more afraid of the other party.

In the next few days, in order to go to the toilet less and get out of bed less, Qu Longjun subconsciously let himself eat less food and drink less water, after all, the little military doctor was not meticulous to this extent, but on the twenty-fifth day, he saw her unfinished half bowl of porridge and muttered: "......Are you a worm?" Qu Longjun lay on the bed and pressed himself into the pillow, his body stiff and did not dare to speak.

On the twenty-sixth day, she struggled to go out to the toilet with her things, and when she came back, she fell and the wound on her back opened slightly. After the other party found out, he found a female doctor to come over, cleaned and bandaged her, and after that, he still faced her with a straight face.

This is a small episode during the recuperation period.

***************

The voice of the interrogation was soft, and there was not much oppression.

“…… In one night, I killed more than a dozen people, so happy? ”

"Well, I'm fine."

"Before the incident, I guessed that there was a problem with the surname Huang, I didn't report it, and secretly sold medicine to others, and on the other hand, I quietly monitored Wen Shoubin for a month, found out the matter, and didn't tell anyone, and now I still help that Qu girl as a guarantee, you know that her father died at our hands, right? You're still spying on feelings......"

"No emotion......," the teenager muttered, "I don't think she's that bad......"

"You know that you have broken discipline, right? You're calling it fishing law enforcement. ”

"I'm not fishing, but there's no evidence that they've done something bad, so they like to talk nonsense......"

"You know that if there is a problem, you should report it, and if you don't report it, they will find you and do so many things. also guarantee, the above is to let me ask you, admit punishment or not. ”

“…… Admit punishment and admit punishment, I'm cool anyway. ”

With a wave of his hand, a shudder sounded on the boy's head, and he couldn't dodge it.

"You're going back to school in September, you know?"

"Well, just go to school."

"Before the incident, it was really difficult to say that the surname Huang would definitely do bad things, you didn't report it, and we couldn't say anything about you, but at night you did it directly and became a yard person, your brother said, this must also have your subjective wishes. Your father asked me to educate you, and I can't think of any good way other than beating you, but you are not allowed to go to the errand of the martial arts tournament next. ”

"Ah...... I'm just going to be a bone-setting doctor......"

"Still talking back!"

With a wave of his hand, he dodged.

“…… All right. If you don't do it, you don't do it. ”

"In addition, after coming out for so long, since you have been crazy enough, you have to have a beginning and an end. Aren't you kind enough to vouch for someone else's little sister? She was stabbed in the back, the medicine was not out of us, the room was not out of us, and the doctor and nurse who took care of her were not out of us......"

"This ...... Even the criminals we caught are ours......"

"Still talking back. You're different! ”

"Well, it's not the same......"

"Your affairs, you handle it for me, since you have made a guarantee, then the health center, you go to help, the little girl's care belongs to you, don't trouble others, wait until her injuries are healed, and after dealing with the tail of the hand, you go back to Zhang Village to go to school."

"Ah, why should I take care of ......?"

"Her father killed our people, and we also killed them, you said she was not bad, do you know what she thinks in her heart? You have compassion and want to save her once and vouch for her, it's your business, right? What if she resented and didn't want to live, and stabbed a doctor with a knife? Oh, you make a guarantee, just throw people over to us, and point to someone else to help you settle her, that's not okay...... So you take care of her. When it is dealt with, the matter in Chengdu will be over, since you dare to admit punishment alone, then do so. ”

The young man's face wrinkled into a bun: "Uh...... It's not that I don't recognize it, but why is it the first sister of the junior high school, you are ......?"

"The task given to me by Mr. Ning, what? Comments? Or you want to fight me? ”

“…… I think you're just getting revenge on her for coming to seduce my brother before......"

"Say what?"

"Nothing...... If you admit punishment, you will accept punishment. I love peace and don't fight. ”

****************

The charter on the plea of punishment was finalized in this way.

Ning Ji didn't have too many thoughts about losing his job at the tournament and taking care of a stupid woman. I felt that it was caused by the first sister and my brother being embarrassed and wanting to see their jokes.

On the other hand, he is just an innocent child in his teens, and he participates in fights and killings all day long, and his parents have long been worried about him. In the past, I was looking for a reason to take advantage of the topic to play, this time in the middle of the night with more than ten Jianghu people to fight, said that he was forced to helpless, in fact, the moment of the fight he was also repeatedly jumping between life and death, many times the blade exchange is just an instinctive response, as long as there is a slight difference, the death may be yourself.

It's a good thing that I survived and seems to be able to deal with it calmly, but this matter has indeed reached the psychological bottom line of my family. Father asked the first sister to come over to deal with it, and let everyone see a joke, which is still an act of eating a toast, but if you don't eat the toast, when you really eat and drink, it will be quite uncomfortable, for example, let your mother come over and cry with him, or spread rumors with a few younger brothers and sisters that "your second brother is going to kill yourself", which made a few children howl more than - with his father's ruthless heart, plus his eldest brother who has obtained his father's true inheritance, it is not that he can't do this kind of thing.

Because of this, after a little temptation, he still took this matter briskly. Taking care of a stupid woman with an injury in the back is certainly a bit of a loss of heroism, but he can bend and stretch, be unruly, and be angry and embarrassed to his brother and sister-in-law. Think about it this way, and cheer for yourself in private.

Regarding the matter of taking care of people in the ward, Ning Ji does not have many cleanliness habits or psychological barriers. When many soldiers are unable to take care of themselves, they have naturally taken care of them many times, decocting medicines, feeding them, running errands and wiping their bodies, and dealing with drowning ...... is also because of this, although the first sister of junior high looked like a thief and watched the excitement when she talked about it, but this kind of thing is really nothing big for Ning Ji himself.

Of course, when it comes to getting started, there will be some things that are different from those on the battlefield.

The other party especially hated him, or was afraid of him, which made him feel very unhappy.

It seems that after the events of that night, the little dog treats himself as a vicious villain. Every time she passed, the other party cowered, and if it weren't for the injury in the back, she could only lie upright, maybe she would have curled up into a quail in the quilt, and her voice was completely different from usual, when she peeked at her. Although Ning Ji is young, he can still distinguish such a reaction.

Are you kidding? Am I a bad person? What am I afraid of!

You're the bad guys, okay! You and Wen Shoubin's old cheap dog went to the southwest to make trouble and do bad things! You live in that yard and talk all day long about what the scoundrels say! I look so decent, where do I look like a bad person!

What's more, in that courtyard a few days ago, I saved your life!

For this unclear and ungrateful little dog, Ning Ji was a little angry in his heart. But he also wants to save face, and he doesn't bother to say anything verbally - there is nothing to say, he peeps at her various things, of course, it is impossible to make a confession, so speaking of which, he and the little cheap dog are just a meeting in Pingshui, and they don't know each other in the past.

In this way, if the little dog doesn't give him a good face, he doesn't bother to give the little dog a good face. Originally, considering the other party's physical inconvenience, I also thought about whether to feed her, help her go to the toilet and other things, but since the atmosphere is not harmonious, it doesn't matter after thinking about it, after all, in terms of injury, it is not serious, it is not completely impossible to get out of bed, I am different from her men and women, and my brother and sister-in-law are waiting to see jokes in embarrassment, more is better than less.

Of course, when she fell in the corridor on the twenty-sixth day, Ning Ji felt a little guilty in her heart. The main thing is that she fell a little embarrassed, and her chest was flattened, and he wanted to laugh when he saw it. This impulse to laugh made him feel that it was not the work of a righteous gentleman, and only then did he ask Aunt Gu from the health center to take care of her last toilet every day. Although the first sister said that he would take care of the other party by himself, this kind of special thing is not too much to worry about.

As for the fact that the other party ate a little more after Aunt Gu helped her to go to the thatched house, Ning Ji also reacted later, and probably understood the reason, the heart of a woman is hypocrisy, and the doctor's parents don't understand the truth.

Leaving the martial arts competition, the hustle and bustle of Chengdu seemed to be a little farther away from him. He didn't care, he had gained a lot of things in Chengdu this time, he had experienced such an exciting fight, walking the world was a matter of the future, and he didn't have to think about it now, and even on the 27th, when Yao Shubin came to him to eat hot pot on the 27th, he talked about the movements of all parties in the city, the infighting of a group of Confucian scholars, the masters who appeared in the martial arts competition, and even the elite gathering in various armies, Ning Ji looked like he didn't care.

"Hmph, I've seen it a long time ago."

"Oh? How do you see it? Yao Shubin's face was full of curiosity.

"I won't tell you."

****************

Time passed through the end of July, and there were several clouds gathering.

After the chaos of July 20, the topic of military parade officially surfaced, and the Huaxia Army began to release invitations to watch the military parade in the city, not only the people in the city who originally supported the Huaxia Army got the invitation, but even the great Confucians and celebrities living in the city at this time also received formal invitations.

On the topic of whether to go or not to go that day, the Confucian scholars in the city debated for several days. People who have not received the invitation have criticized it vigorously, and there are also Confucian scholars who have received the invitation to call on everyone not to cheer, but there are also many people who say that since they came to Chengdu, they want to witness all the things, and even if they want to write an article to refute it in the future, people can say more credible on the spot.

The crowd was arguing again in the newspaper, and it was very lively.

……

The sky seemed a little overcast, or perhaps it was because the foliage was too lush to block out the light.

In the courtyard of the inn called Xiangwu Guild Hall, Yang Tiehuai was sitting precariously, looking at the articles on the newsprint, slightly distracted. There seemed to be a sound of scolding in the air in the distance, and after a while, only to hear a bang, I don't know who threw the stone from outside the courtyard, and the sound of scolding came from the street.

His eldest disciple Chen Shiguang was sitting opposite the desk, and he also heard this noise, looked at the invitation on the table and the teacher on the other side of the desk, and said in a deep voice: "The black flag is despicable and shameless, and it kills people with a knife, which is cold. But the students thought that the way of heaven would not make such a wicked person gain power, and the teacher only needed to avoid him for a while and leave Chengdu first, and things would always slowly find a turning point. ”

Yang Tiehuai glanced at the big disciple calmly and did not speak.

After arriving in Chengdu, he was one of the most fiery Confucians, and at first he wrote angry scolds on newsprint, refuting the various behaviors of the Huaxia army, and when he had to go to the streets to debate with others, he was stoned on the head, and these behaviors became even more radical. For the turmoil on July 20, he secretly connected and contributed a lot, but at the moment when the riot started, the Huaxia Army directly sent a letter to warn, he hesitated for a night, and finally failed to make up his mind to do it. By now, he has been carried out by the Confucian students in the city and has become the one who scolds the most.

At this time, the principle of self-purification of the pure is actually no longer feasible. The more the event fails, the more the participants need to find a person who bears the blame, and it doesn't matter who the pot is, after all, if there is no such person, how can the fools and fools forgive themselves?

The wound on his forehead had healed, and after the bandage was removed, an ugly scab was left, and the old man's serious face set off the ugly scab, and every time he appeared in front of people, he showed a strange momentum. Others may laugh in their hearts, and he knows that others will laugh in their hearts, but because of this, the expression on his face becomes more and more stubborn and tough, and this toughness also sets off each other with the blood scab, showing the confrontational demeanor that others know he also knows.

“…… Be a teacher. ”

It was a long time before he said this.

The noise and invective outside the hospital became more harsh from afar.

****************

On July 29, the Jurchen captives had been settled in a military camp in the western suburbs of Chengdu.

In the evening, Wan Yan Qingjue looked through the fence of the camp and saw a familiar figure walking not far away—he carefully identified it twice—it was Zuo Wenhuai, who had punched him in Changsha. This Zuo Wenhuai looked delicate, and he looked like a rabbit at that time, but at this time, he put on a black Huaxia Army uniform, his body was straight and his eyebrows were like a sword, and he still had the awe-inspiring aura of a soldier when he looked at it.

"Zuo Gongzi! Zuo Gongzi—"

Wan Yan Qingjue grabbed the railing and beckoned to this side.

He was one of the highest-ranking nobles in the Jurchen army, he had been arrested once before, and now he was also assisting the Huaxia army in managing the high-ranking of the captives, so in the past few days, he occasionally did something out of the ordinary, and the nearby Huaxia soldiers did not immediately come to stop him.

Zuo Wenhuai and several soldiers around him all looked over here, and then he raised his eyebrows and came over to this side: "Oh, isn't this the little prince of Wanyan, his face looks good, and he has been eating and drinking well recently?" ”

"Zuo Gongzi, I have something to tell you."

“…… Eating and drinking in prison is not a good sign, and you are not afraid of eating a severed head meal? ”

Because of Yu Mingzhou's matter, Zuo Wenhuai didn't have a good impression of Wanyan Qingjue, and said such things to scare him at this time. Wanyan Qingjue's eyes were serious, and his hand almost stretched out from the fence to grab him: "Zuo Gongzi!" I'm on business, and it's good for you...... It's good for the Huaxia Army, please listen to it...... You know who I am, it's harmless, it's good, it's good......"

Wanyan Qingjue emphasized so much, Zuo Wenhuai stood not far from the railing, looked at him quietly, and after a while: "You say." ”

Wanyan Qingjue looked at both sides, as if he wanted to chat in private, but Zuo Wenhuai waved his hand directly: "If you have something to say, just say it here, or forget it." ”

"Okay, okay." Wanyan Qingjue nodded, "Zuo Gongzi, I know your identity, you also know my identity, you also know the identity of these people in the camp, everyone has a family in the Jin country, and every family has a relationship, according to the rules of the Jin country, if you are defeated and not dead, you can redeem it with gold and silver......"

"That's not our rule."

"But it can be considered." Wanyan Qingjue said, "I know that after the defeat of Western Xia, you also let them redeem people, I was arrested for the first time, and I was also ransomed, these in the camp today, you know some of the identities, but you are not familiar with the Jin country, as long as you can go back, you can get far more benefits than you think." I wrote a list here, which you didn't know before, I know that you can meet Mr. Ning, and you give it to him for me...... Give it to him for me......"

Zuo Wenhuai looked at him: "The parade didn't say that I was going to kill you, so scared?" ”

"It's not that I'm afraid, but we're going to pay it anyway, and we're willing to give you more chips, maybe...... Everyone can go back quickly. Wanyan Qingjue's expression was quite calm, and he smiled at this time, "Han people are not easy to kill, I know, since the Tang Dynasty, the Taimiao has not killed prisoners much, and we are defeated on the battlefield, you don't need to kill us, kill us, you can only die endlessly......"

Zuo Wenhuai was silent for a moment: "I really like to die endlessly......"

"But there's no need...... It's not necessary......" Wanyan Qingjue looked at him over there, "Please pass it over, it's not harmful to you anyway......"

“…… Bring it. ”

Zuo Wenhuai finally nodded, and Wanyan Qingjue immediately took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them out. Zuo Wenhuai didn't take the paper, the soldiers on the side came over, Zuo Wenhuai said: "Take a bag, seal this thing, and transfer it to the secretariat, just say that it is the condition that Wanyan Xiaowang wants Mr. Ning to consider...... Are you satisfied? In fact, in the Huaxia Army, there is not much difference between you and me. ”

Wanyan Qingjue nodded, he took a breath and took two steps back: "I think of something about Yu Mingzhou, Zuo Gongzi, if you want to know, ...... after the parade"

Before he finished speaking, Zuo Wenhuai's eyes on the other side of the fence sank, and there was already a gloomy murderous aura: "You mention this name again, I will personally send you on the road after the parade!" ”

Wanyan Qingjue shut up and waved his hand, and Zuo Wenhuai stared at him for a moment, then turned to leave.

The sky was tilting in the west, and Wanyan Qingjue in the fence stood there in a daze for a moment, exhaling a long breath. Compared with the other Jurchen prisoners of war in the camp, his mentality is actually a little calmer, after all, he has been arrested once before, and he was exchanged back, he has also seen that Mr. Ning, the other party pays attention to interests, and it is not easy to kill, as long as he cooperates with him to complete the process of sacrificing prisoners, the other party is not even interested in humiliating these prisoners - because the Han people pay attention to being a decent man and a gentleman.

Of course, even if the risk is low, they don't want to take it, people are eager to go home early, especially those who have a big family and have enjoyed half their lives, no matter how much gold and silver and Han slaves they have to pay in exchange, their families will find a way. It is also for this reason that in recent days, he has been trying to find a way to deliver the words to Mr. Ning.

He thought about the next parade.

Maybe after the parade, the other party will call him again, during which they will certainly say a few words about him, ridiculing him for being arrested again, and then of course he will show the strength of the Huaxia Army. I was honestly afraid, and behaved humbly, so that he was satisfied, and everyone might be able to go home sooner—the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and he is not ashamed to suffer some humiliation as the highest status among everyone......
