In the evening, Shang Cheng slowly regained consciousness again.

Unlike the previous times when he woke up, this time, he didn't immediately fall into a coma because of the irresistible pain.

His mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't figure out what was going on or where he was. It took him a long time before he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have fallen from his horse.

What about after the fall? What happened immediately after he fell off his horse?

As he closed his eyes and tried to remember, a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of his head, like someone holding a sharp cone and holding a thorn there. Before he could react, it was as if someone had smashed a heavy stone on the frozen surface of the lake, shattering the ice, and the sudden pain spread to the top of his head, the side of his skull, and his forehead...... Under the fierce pain like an avalanche, all the green tendons on his forehead exploded, his temples jumped suddenly, his ears buzzed, and the muscles on his cheeks fell into numbness in an instant...... The irresistible torture made him can't help but let out a painful **!

He vaguely felt that several hands were pressing against him. Someone was talking on the side. Someone else was anxiously asking something. But he didn't even hear a word clearly. Someone lifted his eyelids. He could see the flickering oil lights, he could see the shadows of the people around him, but he couldn't see anything clearly; He didn't have the extra strength to focus his gaze. He put all his energy and strength into the fight against the pain!

I don't know how much time has passed, but the pain has finally subsided temporarily.

Now, he was lying there dying, his eyes still closed, gasping for air, his chest heaving like a worn-out bellows. He was drenched in sweat all over his body, as if he had just been fished out of the water. The soreness of the muscles in his arms was still trembling and spasming, because he was holding the sheets and mattress too hard......

He slowly opened his eyes.

It's a big house. There were two oil lamps in the niche on the wall, and the center of the lamp had been manipulated, and the dim light and shadow made everything in the room look dim and hazy. There was nothing in the room, only a table and a few drum stools; Maybe there used to be furniture, but it has been taken away. There was also an oil lamp on the table, and the fire, which was smaller than a bean, reflected a palm-sized yellow halo. He moved his stiff neck and turned his gaze to the other side, which was not very clear. There are two windows on that side; The large windows are open; In order to prevent mosquitoes and autumn insects from flying in, a muslin veil was also hung. He could perceive that the place where he was lying now was not a fire kang, but a bamboo couch; Because the couch was not long enough, a few small wooden stools were specially placed so that his legs and feet had a place to extend.

Foot?

He suddenly realized something: when he was struggling in pain just now, it was as if someone was pressing his leg hard to prevent him from kicking, could it be that his foot was ......

His gaze immediately turned to his feet!

Luckily, the feet are all there! His heart breathed a sigh of relief. But he immediately noticed that his right foot was tightly wrapped in raw cloth from the toe to the calf!

He steadied himself, and with a sense of generosity and tragedy, he cautiously tried to move his toes. Oh, no problem! It's just that my ankle hurts so much that I can't move at all; Other than that, there's nothing wrong with it. His nervousness relaxed. It seems that when he fell from his horse, most of the time this foot did not shake off the stirrup in time, so he sprained his ankle. It's a small problem!

"Governor, are you awake?" Duan Si, who had been standing on the edge of the bamboo couch, asked him in a low voice.

Shang Cheng nodded, and was about to speak, when the needle-like stinging pain swept towards him, brutally squeezing aside everything he wanted to say and what he wanted to ask......

By the time he came to his senses again, it was already completely dark.

It is no longer Duan Si who is sitting in front of the bamboo couch and waiting. The light in the room was not good, and in a hurry he couldn't see who it was, and in the dimness he could only see a low black shadow, and a pair of small and spiritual eyes that were shining one by one. This could be Guo Biao, or it could be Ximen Sheng. Both of them were about the same size, both of them were short and stocky, and they both had a very kind round face, which looked like two rich country men.

The man, too, saw that he was awake, and before he could move, he hurriedly held him down, and at the same time admonished, "Don't move!" ”

He could hear that it was Ximensheng's voice.

He asked, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"Don't move!" Ximensheng warned sternly again. He walked to the table, brought a bowl of water, stirred the water in the bowl with a silver spoon, and said, "You fell off your horse." The horse is startled, and drags you for more than a dozen feet, and finally rushes into the wheat field before stopping. He came over with a bowl, only to find that Shang Cheng couldn't drink water while lying down. He put the bowl on a small stool, slowly helped Shang Cheng to sit up, rolled up a thin quilt behind his back, and then gently helped him to lean on the thin quilt, picked up the bowl and said, "This is honey water." One by one, you hurt your head, your ankle was twisted, and the doctor repeatedly told you that you can only drink this now. ”

Got your head down too? Shang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to touch his head.

Thankfully, this time there was no such pain that made people feel uncomfortable, and he touched his head smoothly.

He froze. I don't know when, the most annoying long hair on his head was actually shaved naked! Now, he doesn't have a single hair on his head, except for the slightly prickly stubble. However, the "birthplace" of the pain in the back of his head, he still cautiously did not touch it, and the pain was too painful, making him involuntarily think of the torture he had endured in the Nanguan camp three years ago, and the worse thing, the result of that injury, which was the result of his eye disease at that time. Will there be a ...... left behind this fall?

He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The room was very dim, and Ximen Sheng couldn't see clearly, Shang Cheng's face suddenly became extremely gray. But when he saw Shang Cheng put his hand on his head and couldn't fall again, he explained: "You fainted when you fell off your horse." We don't dare to delay, hurry up and bring you back to the doctor. You've woken up a few times, and each time you've kicked and smashed in pain. At this point, his expression darkened, and he was silent for a moment before continuing, "...... But we and the doctor have undressed you, and except for a twist on your right ankle, everything else is fine; Even if he was dragged by a horse for a while, there was nothing wrong with his bones and internal organs. But you went crazy with a burst of pain, so you had to shave your hair one by one, and the doctor was worried that it could be that your head was bumped by something, although there was no external injury, but it may have hurt the bones and brain ......"

Shang Cheng's throat was a little astringent nervously, and he asked in a dumb voice: "That, my head, my head ......"

Ximen Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "We discussed it. It was my idea to have your hair shaved and let the doctor examine it carefully......" He stood up and shook Shang Cheng deeply, and said, "Zida, I'm sorry!" At that time, the situation was urgent, and I was worried that there would be a big problem on your head that would not be revealed, and that the doctor would not be able to examine it carefully if there was hair to cover it, so I took it upon myself to teach someone to shave your hair without your consent. As I said, this is my opinion, and it has nothing to do with others. Later, the doctor carefully examined it, and there were no internal and external injuries......" He pulled out a knife from the waistband of his boot, lifted his head and held his hair in a bun, and said solemnly, "It was my scruples and suspicions that ruined your filial piety." I have done a great mistake in this matter, and I should ask myself for punishment before you. As he spoke, he took a knife and cut his hair.

Shang Cheng was taken aback by his actions, and hurriedly said, "Don't ......" As soon as he stretched out his hand and moved his body, he felt as if he had been hit hard in the back of his head, his eyes were dark, and he fell back with a breath.

Duan Si had been guarding outside the door, and Ximen Sheng was a little anxious when he pulled out his knife to cut his hair, so he didn't rush in for fear of alarming Shang Chengcai. At this time, seeing that Shang Cheng seemed to be about to fall into a mad coma because of dissuading Ximensheng, where could he take care of anything else, he pushed open the door and snatched Ximensheng's knife from his hand, glared at him fiercely, and hurriedly went to see Shang Cheng's situation.

Shang Cheng waved his hand, he didn't dare to shake his head, looked at Ximen Sheng with his eyes, and said, "You are for my good, how can I blame you?" And he had long been impatient with such long hair, but he had no reason to shave it. Now, he has a reason not to grow his hair in the future, and he no longer has to worry about washing his hair but still dripping water for half a day. It seems that bad things don't necessarily mean that they can't become good things; It's just a bit more expensive.

He asked Ximen Sheng: "The doctor didn't say it, I have a headache...... He paused, waiting suspiciously for the headache to attack. But it just doesn't flare up. “…… What's going on with my headache? ”

Duan Si preemptively said: "The doctor said that it may be because of the recurrence of eye disease caused by falling from a horse, and the headache caused by the excessive scabies is also more serious. "Duan Si knew that Shang Cheng was suffering from eye diseases at the same time, and they were accompanied by severe headaches, and even the Zhu Shen Doctor of Yi County couldn't eradicate them, so he could only use the medicinal power of a pill to suppress the eye disease and prevent it from attacking." The doctor also said that you can't go anywhere during this time, and you can't be too tired, so you must stay in bed and recuperate, and only then can you return to Yanzhou when the eye disease is not so rapid. When you return to Yanzhou, you can no longer be busy from morning to night every day as before, you have to calm down and recuperate for at least half a year, otherwise you are likely to fall ill. It's best to find someone to treat the eye disease as well. Ximen Sheng continued his words: "After the doctor diagnosed you, I sent an eight-hundred-mile document to Beijing, and asked the military department to find a few capable doctors to come and see you for you; also sent 800 miles to Yi County, let them put that ...... The miracle doctor sent it quickly. ”

"Yanzhou...... Did you inform Zhang Shao? ”

Ximen Sheng nodded and said, "I've also informed him." Your situation is very bad, so I think that the matter of sending troops to the grassland this time must be considered in the long run. As he spoke, he took his eyes to look at Duan Si. Duan Si hesitated for a moment, gave a look back, and shook his head slightly.

Shang Cheng didn't speak. He lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment, and asked, "Where is Guo Biao?" Let him come over for a moment, I have something to say to him! ”
