Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Lightning

"It's okay, you're saved, go home." Wei Yan said to the women.

"Thank you Childe for saving your life......"

"Thank you, childe......"

They knelt on the ground together and kowtowed in thanks.

"Hurry up...... Shunzi, put away the horses of the Huns and let them pick one each. Wei Yan helped the poor women up one by one.

The mounts of the Huns were all well-bred horses, and even if the owner died, they would not run around, and they were soon brought together by Gao Shun and the giant deer.

The poor women, each given a horse, and retrieved their own things from what the Huns had looted.

There was a mare who was about to give birth, but he was frightened in the battle just now, and one of the pony's legs stretched out first, and his body was stuck in the horse's belly, and he couldn't get out.

The mare moaned miserably, and it was already more out of breath and less in and less breath, and it seemed that it was no longer good.

All mothers in the world are the same, and this mare is no exception, with tears streaming down her eyes.

"咴咴~"

Chan'er walked up to her, and she watched Chan'er's desolate hiss, her voice weak, and her eyes helpless, as if pleading.

"Wei Yan, let's save her." Chan'er pleaded.

Wei Yan shook his head and said helplessly: "This is a difficult birth, and the mare can't live." ”

"She's so pathetic." Chan'er looked at the mare with some sadness.

Wei Yan saw Chan'er sad, sighed, and continued: "But although the mare can't be saved, the pony may still be saved." ”

"Really? Can you really save it? Chan'er grabbed Wei Yan's arm excitedly and shook it.

"Try it." Wei Yan smiled bitterly.

In fact, he wasn't sure if the pony would survive.

In ancient times, medicine was not developed, and without caesarean section, dystocia could only wait for death.

"Who has a dagger?" Wei Yan asked.

"I have." Chan'er took out her dagger.

This dagger is only four inches long, the handle is gold, and it is also inlaid with a round northern pearl, which is very delicate.

But Chan'er was not reluctant to give up the dagger because it was precious, and she handed it to Wei Yan without hesitation.

Wei Yan took the dagger, walked to the mare's side, half-knelt in front of her and said, "I want to save your child now, you will be very painful, I hope you don't hate me when you go to heaven." ”

"Boom~" As if she understood Wei Yan's words, the mare's big head moved, and big tears slipped down.

"Okay, I'm going to do it." Wei Yan gritted his teeth, his eyes firm.

He was not a doctor in his previous life, and he had never seen a caesarean section, so he didn't know the specific steps.

But now the mare will definitely not survive, and he can only try not to hurt the pony.

So, he cut the horse's belly one by one, and each cut very shallowly and slowly, until he cut through the horse's belly.

A black pony was picked up from the horse's belly by Wei Yan.

Because it was born prematurely, the bones were too soft to stand, so they could only lie on the ground.

Wei Yan stripped off the afterbirth, and the pony stretched out its little pink tongue and licked it on Wei Yan's body.

"Wow~ it's so cute......" Chan'er happily poked her finger at the pony.

Her movements were gentle, for fear of hurting it.

The pony seems to be very fond of Chan'er, too, and when Chan'er points her finger at her nose, she actually sucks on Chan'er's finger.

"It's so itchy~" Chan'er giggled.

Wei Yan picked up the pony and placed it on the mare's head.

The mare was dying, her eyelids drooped, and she didn't even have the strength to bark.

However, just as Wei Yan put the pony beside her, her eyes suddenly brightened, and there was joy and reluctance in them.

"Boom~" The mare barked happily and closed her eyes.

The pony doesn't understand this yet, it just feels close, licking the mare's head without feeling the slightest sadness.

"The pony is so pitiful, there is no mother at such a young age, we must be kind to it in the future." Chan'er caressed the pony's wet fur lovingly.

After a while, the pony's fur dried up, and its bones hardened under the cold wind, and it stumbled to its feet.

It looked like it was about to fall without taking a step, but it didn't fall after all.

It stumbled to Wei Yan and Chan'er like this, arching its head over them, expressing its joy.

At this time, Chan'er suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Wei Yan, look, there is a piece in the middle of its forehead that is white, like a bolt of lightning." ”

"yes, it's going to run as fast as lightning in the future." Wei Yanle said with a smile.

"How about we call it Lightning in the future?" Chan'er was glad she could come up with the name.

"The name is like it was made for it." Wei Yan agreed.

"Giggles, lightning, lightning, do you like the name or not?" Chan'er bent down and touched Lightning's head.

"Boom~" Lightning cheered.

At this moment, it is less like a horse, more like a little goat.

The lightning bolt was too small to run with the other horses.

In the end, he could only take some cloth from the Huns, make a large cloth bag, and hang the lightning on the horse's back.

Although the women who were taken captive lived near the northern border, they were all from poor families and could not afford to raise horses, so they never even rode horses.

It's good that they can sit on horseback and not fall off.

Wei Yan and the others couldn't leave their stomachs and go back, so they could only walk back slowly.

This speed was similar to not being able to do it, so much so that when it got dark, they couldn't enter the safe area of Jiuyuan City.

Such a steppe zone belongs to the buffer zone, where neither the Huns nor the Han people live here.

Therefore, there is no way to guarantee the security problem, and there may be Huns at any time.

"Don't make a fire tonight, let's make up for the night, that group of Huns didn't go back, maybe they will send someone out to find it, it's too unsafe to make a fire." Wei Yan said.

Everyone agreed with Wei Yan's statement, but fortunately, the Huns' horses had uneaten dry food and dried meat, and they each shared a little.

The stars on the grassland are much brighter than in the city, and even at night, you can still see the movement nearby.

Just escaped death, everyone was trembling and didn't dare to sleep too deeply.

"Whew~"

Suddenly, Wei Yan heard the wolf howl in a daze, and he got up smartly.

Dozens of pairs of green eyes within a hundred meters around him stared at him.

They are like the silence of the night, wandering around like ghost fire.

"Whew~"

"Whew~"

The wolf howls one after another, and they were surrounded.

One by one, the others woke up.

The women hugged each other and shivered, crying bitterly.

"Wei Yan, I'm afraid ......"

Wei Yan clearly felt Chan'er's body trembling.
