Chapter 121: Entrustment
At this time, in Yongyang County, Zhou Bo was bandaging Lin Fan's wounds. Yes, in the battle just now, Lin Fan added a few new wounds to his body.
Before the thieves attacked the city for the last time, Lin Fan asked Yang Yuanwang and Li Qingshan to leave the city with a group of civilian officials, leaving them to stay in the county office.
Although it is said that it is to defend the county government and protect the last line of defense of Yongyang City, in fact, it is Lin Fan to protect these officials and doctors, so as not to increase casualties.
Besides, even if they were allowed to stay in the city, these people would not have much combat power, and staying there might be a drag on the defenders, so it was better not to stay.
So when reinforcements arrived, they all survived. It was the presence of these officials that provided the basis for the rapid restoration of order in the city after the war.
After all, most of them are well-known locals, and they are also a group of people who deal with the people the most in the government on weekdays, and with them, many things are much easier.
Now that the war is over, Lin Fan, as a martial artist, should naturally not be involved in government affairs too much, otherwise he will be suspected of crossing the line. And Lin Fan was also very knowledgeable, and took the initiative to choose to retreat behind the scenes, so that Yang Yuanwang, the head of the county government, became the person with the highest official position in Yongyang City.
However, nothing happened, and the injuries on his body really couldn't be delayed, so Lin Fan went back to the county government to recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, and handed over the whole mess to Yang Yuanwang in one go.
It's just that after a big battle, today's county government is already overcrowded, and there are wounded soldiers lying everywhere.
As early as the beginning of the war, Lin Fan had a few tents simply set up in the open space behind the county office, and hung a few curtains overhead to block the scorching sun, turning the rear office into a small camp for wounded soldiers to accommodate wounded soldiers.
Zhou Bo cleaned up a knife wound on Lin Fan's back and began to apply medicine, which was already the last wound on Lin Fan's body that had not been treated. Zhou Yuanzhi helped his grandfather hold the medicine box and started on the side.
When the gauze was tied, Uncle Zhou casually put on Lin Fan's coat and said softly: "Okay, you can move and try to see if there is anything uncomfortable!" ”
Lin Fan gently moved his body and said with a smile: "I didn't feel any discomfort, Uncle Zhou's craftsmanship naturally has nothing to say!" ”
"Stinky boy, don't pat yourself on the back, it's useless for me, it's only serious that you get hurt less!" Seeing that Lin Fan was not in shape, Zhou Bo said angrily.
"That's right! I was injured again this time, I thought that Uncle Zhou, you would teach me a few more words, you don't open your mouth to make me always feel that something is missing, and I feel uncomfortable! Lin Fan said with a smile.
"According to me, you're just itchy and don't clean up!" Zhou Bo scolded with a smile.
After the joke, Zhou Bozheng said: "I don't talk about you, it's because the battle is like this, and it's good to survive." You're always trying too hard, it's not good! ”
As he spoke, Zhou Bo suddenly felt a little headache, probably because he had been standing for too long, and his body was a little unstable. A little dizzy, he wanted to sit on the chair and rest, so he reached for a chair beside Lin Fan.
He reached out and grabbed it several times, but he didn't touch the armrest of the chair, but the chair was obviously there, why couldn't he touch it?
Zhou Bo rubbed his eyes and looked fixedly, the chair actually swayed in his sight at this time, and even produced a phantom.
This feeling makes
Somewhat surprised, he looked at his right hand, he obviously didn't move, but he found that his hand was also constantly shaking up and down, wandering back and forth in his vision, producing ghosting, as if he had three right hands.
A severe headache struck suddenly, and Zhou Bo's eyes darkened, and then he felt a whirlwind of the world.
The weightlessness caused by vertigo made Zhou Bo unable to stand anymore, and he fell down suddenly, and he knocked over the chair in front of him under the loss of strength.
Lin Fan and Xiao Yuanzhi were the closest, and they were the first to discover Uncle Zhou's abnormality, and before Uncle Zhou fell to the ground, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"Grandpa, grandpa! What happened to you? ”
"Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou! Wake up, wake up! ”
The two shouted anxiously, but Uncle Zhou did not respond for a long time. Lin Fan asked Xiao Yuanzhi, "How can this be?" ”
Xiao Yuanzhi had tears in his eyes, and said with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa... Grandpa, he has been taking care of the wounded soldiers these days, and he hasn't had much rest for many days! ”
Lin Fan was very angry: "Nonsense, Uncle Zhou is old, how can he withstand such fatigue, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
Yuanzhi felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to refute, but he cried even more.
Chen Fangshu, Li Qingshan and others also surrounded at this time, trying to help wake up Uncle Zhou.
In a daze, Zhou Bo heard the shouts of everyone, but his body kept calling and he couldn't speak. In this way, after about a cup of tea, the old man woke up leisurely.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was everyone's anxious faces, and it turned out that everyone was around him.
This made Uncle Zhou's heart warm, and then he sighed with a wry smile: "As soon as people are old, they will not be useful, it seems that it is still not good to accept the old!" ”
Seeing Uncle Zhou wake up, Lin Fan hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhou, are you awake?" How does it feel? Are you feeling better? ”
Zhou Bo shook his head: "I heard what you said just now, my lord, don't blame Yuanzhi, I won't let him tell you." ”
"Why?" Lin Fan was puzzled.
"These wounded soldiers need to be taken care of, and they can't do without people, there are only a few doctors in the city, where can they take care of them? These wounded soldiers are still young, and if they were not injured in the war, they still have a long way to go. I'm thinking that if I take good care of them, maybe I'll be able to survive a few more! Zhou Bo said with a smile.
"You can't sleep forever! And you're going to have to tell me if you want to do that, right? Lin Fan's eyes were already filled with tears.
Zhou Bo asked rhetorically: "I told you, can you agree?" ”
Lin Fanne was speechless, Uncle Zhou was old, if he made such a request, he would not agree to it no matter what.
Zhou Bo continued to ask: "Besides, don't talk about me first, how long have you slept in total these days?" You've worked hard enough to defend the city, and I don't want you to bother with these wounded soldiers. ”
"But I'm still young and can hold on, how can you be so tired at your age?" Lin Fan said worriedly.
"yes, it's good to be young! It's not like me, it's only been a few days, and I can't hold it anymore! Uncle Zhou still smiled, but the fatigue revealed in his words couldn't be hidden.
Actually, yes
While several people were talking, Zhou Bo's headache did not reduce, but intensified. The sharp pain made his face pale, and sweat flowed from his forehead, running down the wrinkles.
Xiao Yuanzhi was already in tears at this time, and Lin Fan couldn't help but feel sad.
Zhou Bo grabbed the hands of the two of them, and his speech began to become urgent: "My lord, I have something to ask you!" ”
"Alas, you say!" Lin Fan agreed.
Zhou Bo put Lin Fan and Yuanzhi's hands together: "My lord, I want to entrust Yuanzhi to you!"
"No, you have a good rest, you are Yuanzhi's grandfather, or you should take care of him yourself when you get well!" Before Zhou Bo finished speaking, Lin Fan interrupted him.
When Zhou Bo said this, Lin Fan already had a bad premonition in his heart, and his tears couldn't hold back any longer, and he burst out of his eyes all at once.
Hearing Lin Fan's refusal, Zhou Bo became more and more anxious: "My lord, you listen to me." I know my body, I can't do it! But Yuanzhi is still young, and the world is so chaotic, what will he do after I leave? He has no relatives in the world, and he is left alone, unable to live. I hope that adults can take him with me, and I don't want him to get ahead and make achievements, but I just want him to be safe and happy all his life! ”
"Grandpa, grandpa! I don't want you to die, I want you to be well! Yuanzhi cried loudly, and wanted to pull his hand out of Zhou Bo's hand.
Zhou Bo used his last strength to hold the hands of the two tightly: "Silly boy, don't say such stupid things!" No one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death, is there anyone in this world who can not die, it's just my turn today! ”
"In the future, when I'm gone, you have to learn to be a real adult, you have to listen to Lord Lin's words well, don't make some petty temperaments anymore!"
After Zhou Bo said this to Yuanzhi, he turned his head to look at Lin Fan again: "Can you promise me?" ”
Looking at Zhou Boxi's eyes, Lin Fan also grabbed Yuanzhi's hand below and didn't let him break free.
He choked up and said, "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I promise you!" In the future, I will take Yuanzhi with me and teach him martial arts literacy. In a few years, when he is a few years older, if he doesn't want to fight in the army and wants to live a stable life, I will send him back to my hometown. It can't be said that he will be rich and prosperous all his life, but it can also protect his life. ”
Lin Fan's words made Zhou Bo's face flush, and his spirit recovered a little: "That's good, that's good!" With adults taking care of Yuanzhi's child, I can finally go to meet Yuanzhi's parents with confidence! ”
Uncle Zhou's return did not last too long, and he carefully instructed Yuanzhi some things, then closed his eyes with peace of mind and left.
Heartbroken, Xiao Yuanzhi lay on his grandfather's body and cried, Lin Fan couldn't help himself, and secretly wiped his tears on the side.
Wang Hu, Chen Fangshu, Li Qingshan and others also felt very sad. For a period of time, Uncle Zhou has always treated everyone in the Inspection Department as a junior and taken good care of everyone, and everyone also regarded Uncle Zhou as a respectable elder from the bottom of their hearts. Now that Uncle Zhou died suddenly, everyone couldn't help but be sad.
Just when everyone was still immersed in grief, Ma Qingze and his party came to the gate of the county office. He asked loudly: "This official is Ma Qingze, a member of the army of the Governor's Palace, and he is ordered to come here to do business, who are you in charge of now?" ”
Hearing that someone came to report to their home, the people on duty at the gate of the county government did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went in to report.
