Chapter 644: Attacked by Night
The winter days at the border pass were long, and the soldiers drank strong wine on weekdays to warm their stomachs and bodies, and when they were drunk, they could forget the pain on their bodies for the time being, and they could sleep and continue to fight.
It was rare to drink such a good wine today, and everyone couldn't help but drink more, and even the soldiers standing guard secretly served the wine.
The banquet lasted until midnight, everyone was a little drunk, even Song Xinshu drank a few glasses, and she didn't want to drink more when she was slightly drunk, watching Su Qing talk to the military while drinking.
She thinks that this is the best time, every day when she opens her eyes, she can see his side face, and she can touch it as soon as she stretches out her hand, if only she could live like this in the future.
Just as she was about to get up to see Su Xueqing, suddenly a soldier ran over covered in dust, and knelt down in front of Su Qing without even breathing.
Su Qing stood up instantly, frowned and asked, "What's going on so flustered?" ”
"General Yu...... The west side of the camp was broken through, and the Ningqi people attacked in the middle of the night, breaking the siege to the west of us! ”
Erhu's voice disappeared, everyone looked over here, Su Qing's expression changed greatly, and he said sharply: "Everyone immediately go with me to guard it!" ”
All the soldiers immediately put down the wine bowl in their hands, stood up and ran towards the west, Su Qing held Song Xinshu's hand and said, "You hurry back to the tent, don't come out if you have nothing to do!" ”
After Su Qing finished speaking, he boarded the war horse led by the soldiers and ran straight to the west.
There was laughter and laughter just now, but now only Song Xinshu and Sister Li were left, and she hurriedly ran over and said, "Madam, go back to the tent quickly, I'll clean up here." ”
Song Xinshu also felt that her whole body was starting to get nervous, and she saw that Sister Li's attitude was resolute, so she had to go back to the tent first.
At this time, she didn't stay in the tent alone, so she came to Su Xueqing's tent, only to see Mei'er and her eating, and she was also surprised to see Song Xinshu come in.
"Xinshu, isn't it time for dinner, why are you here?"
Song Xinshu told them what happened just now, and Su Xueqing's face changed after hearing it: "Being raided by the Ning Qi people, there shouldn't be anything, right?" ”
"I don't know, I'm just worried." Song Xinshu sat on the bed with a sad face, she didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing when she first came.
Maybe this is a common thing in the army, but when she thought of Su Qing fighting on the battlefield, she only felt terrified.
Su Xueqing held her hand, wanting to give her a little comfort, and said, "General Su is brave and good at fighting, it must be no problem, you can stay here for a while." ”
Song Xinshu was restless, she couldn't stay at all, she couldn't help it, so she walked to the door and said, "I'll go find Sister Li!" ”
Before Su Xueqing could reply, she opened the curtain and ran out, trotted to the kitchen, and saw that Sister Li was busy with her hands and feet.
"Sister Li, what are you doing?"
Sister Li glanced back, and then said while busy with the work in hand: "They are estimated to fight until dawn, how can they do without dry food by then, I have to hurry up and make a little out!" ”
Song Xinshu immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm with you." ”
Although she couldn't help Su Qing on the battlefield, she still had to do something for him, and Sister Li didn't stop her, and after a while, the two made a pot of steamed buns and cooked a pot of hot tea.
"I'll cook some more sweet potatoes and send them over."
"I'll get it!" Song Xinshu was about to run outside to get sweet potatoes, when he heard a panicked footsteps outside.
Sister Li also ran out when she heard the footsteps, and saw more than a dozen soldiers running over with stretchers, and Sister Li hurriedly greeted: "Quick, quickly send the wounded to the tent over there!" ”
Although the night was dark, Song Xinshu also saw that the person carrying the stretcher was covered in blood, and she found that her legs were a little weak, but she still ran to the tent where the wounded were placed.
The soldiers were still in a hurry to return to the battlefield, moved the people to the tent and left with the stretcher, Song Xinshu knelt on the ground, only to see a young face buried in the helmet, trembling constantly.
Song Xinshu helped him take off his helmet, only to see a sharp sword in his chest, and the handle of the arrow on his head was broken into two pieces.
"Oh my God!" Hearing someone exclaim behind him, Song Xinshu looked back and saw Mei'er standing at the door, covering her mouth in surprise.
"Mei'er, you go back first, I'll be here!"
Mei'er didn't leave, but walked over and knelt beside Song Xinshu and said, "Madam, I was sold to Lang Zhong for two years before, I will definitely be able to help!" ”
Song Xinshu heard her say this, and there was indeed a shortage of manpower here, so he let her stay and work beside the military doctor.
Sister Li patted her on the shoulder and said, "I'm going to the front line to deliver dry food, so Madame will be here first." ”
Song Xinshu immediately stood up and said, "I'll go with you!" ”
Now I don't know what Su Qing looks like on the battlefield, whether she is injured or not, she desperately wants to see him intact.
Sister Li pressed her shoulders and said, "Madam, it's too dangerous for you to go, the general will definitely be fine, you can just wait here safely, I'll go back quickly!" ”
After Sister Li finished speaking, she left without looking back, Song Xinshu felt her heart beating wildly, she wanted to get rid of Zhou Munan to take a look, but when she ran into his tent, she found that it was empty.
She could only go back to the wounded tent and help the military doctor place the wounded and stop the bleeding and bandage them.
As she said, Mei'er helped the military doctor wrap gauze for the wounded, and her skills were not inferior at all.
But Song Xinshu saw such a scene for the first time, her hands and feet were cold, her ears were full of the sound of the wounded screaming in pain, she was busy and her hands were covered with blood.
Finally bandaged the wounded in front of him, Song Xinshu also calmed down, Su Qing is the general in this army, and he will definitely be safe.
At this moment, another batch of wounded soldiers was sent, and Song Xinshu immediately got busy again, and after a wounded soldier with a relatively minor injury saw her, he hurriedly shirked and said, "Madam, how can I bother you to do this?" ”
Song Xinshu helped him take off his armor and said, "There is no need to talk about this now, the most important thing is to heal your injuries quickly." ”
She bandaged and said, "How is the situation on the battlefield now?" ”
"The enemy came suddenly, and we were unprepared, and we were taken by surprise."
"What about General Su?"
The little soldier endured the pain and said: "General Su is fighting, and we brothers follow General Su from a distance, even if we are injured, it doesn't matter." ”
Song Xinshu listened to his words, and finally let go of his heart a little, and he finished bandaging the wounded soldiers in front of her, and the clothes on her body were all dyed.
She scooped some hot soup from the kitchen and distributed it to the wounded who could still sit, and although there was a fire in the tent, they had lost their blood and were shivering with cold, so they had to drink some hot soup to warm their bodies.
Some wounded soldiers who couldn't sit up, Song Xinshu and Mei'er helped their heads to feed them some.
The water in the clear water basin was already muddy, so the military doctor went to change a basin of clean water, and said to Song Xinshu: "Madam, you have really helped me a lot, I will not be able to be busy at this time in the past, and these soldiers have to thank you!" ”
Song Xinshu said embarrassedly: "Where, I'm very happy to be able to help General Su here." ”
They waited for a while, but no new wounded were returned, and the military doctor looked at the already bright sky and said, "It seems that the general has repelled the enemy, and the wounded soldiers have not been sent back." ”
Song Xinshu said happily: "Really? ”
She walked out of the tent to see if she could see them returning, but saw Sister Li running from a distance, as if she was carrying something on her back.
She hurriedly ran over to greet her, and when she saw Sister Li carrying an unconscious soldier on her back, she said with tears on her face: "Madam, Madam, my son ......"
Song Xinshu instantly understood what was going on, she lifted the curtain of the tent, and hurriedly let Sister Li walk in, and the military doctor and Mei'er also surrounded her.
She looked at it anxiously, the little soldier's face was already pale, and after taking off his armor, there were several sword holes on his body, a wound was still on his chest, and the clothes he was wearing were soaked with blood.
The military doctor pinched his hand to check the pulse, Song Xinshu looked at him expectantly, but saw the military doctor slowly shake his head.
Sister Li suddenly knelt down for the military doctor, and cried while kowtowing: "Military doctor, I beg you, you must save my son, I am such a son!" Please! ”
Song Xinshu hurriedly helped her up, held her cold hand and said, "Eldest sister, you get up first." ”
Sister Li ignored Song Xinshu, turned to her son's body, and kept stroking his face: "Son, my mother is here, look at my mother, my mother can't live without you!" ”
Song Xinshu looked at him and a young boy, who was only twenty years old, she listened to Sister Li's crying, feeling that her heart was broken, and her eyes were hot.
Mei'er cried directly, she pulled the military doctor's sleeve and said, "Uncle military doctor, is there really no way?" ”
The military doctor shook his head and said, "He has lost too much blood, and his pulse is already very weak, really...... There's no way around it. ”
The boy raised his hand with all his strength, stroked his mother's face and said, "Mother, I'm fine, I'll be fine......"
As he spoke, his raised hand hung down, and Sister Li froze, holding the child's hand and rubbing it constantly: "Mother warms your hands, it's not cold, let's be fine, my mother will make you a good ...... to eat."
Song Xinshu knelt beside Sister Li, grabbed his shoulders and said, "Sister, you ......"
She now felt that everything was pale, what words could comfort her as a mother who had lost a child, she felt that everything she said now was superfluous, and she only felt that listening to her cry, her heart was going to break.
