Chapter VII

Yiguang carefully handed the hot water he begged for to Zheng Dan, who was huddled in the corner, "Sister drink water." ”

Ever since the strange illness and the death of one person after another, she began to ask the soldiers for boiled water, and most of the soldiers would not refuse.

A group of Yue women despised Yiguang's behavior very much, especially Yalan, thinking that she was seducing the soldiers of Wu with her beauty, and she had been sneering, but Yiguang did not defend or get angry, and still insisted on this move.

"I'm not thirsty." Zheng Dan didn't pick it up, her complexion today was quite wrong, her face was slightly red, like rubbing a layer of rouge.

"You haven't drunk water all day today, how can you not be thirsty, drink it quickly." As he spoke, Yiguang handed the bamboo bowl forward. It was such an ordinary action, but it made Zheng Dan shrink back as if he had seen a ghost, and said in his mouth: "I said I wouldn't drink, you go away!" ”

Her appearance made Yiguang suspicious, and in retrospect, from last night to now, Zheng Dan has been avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally, could it be ......

Yiguang's heart sank, and he raised his hand to touch Zheng Dan's forehead, who was shocked, quickly turned his head sideways to avoid it, and said sharply: "Don't touch me!" ”

Since Yiguang was already suspicious, how could he stop there, and reached out again, although Zheng Dan tried his best to dodge, helplessly narrow, he finally couldn't avoid it, and was touched by Yiguang on the forehead, and as soon as his fingers touched, he felt a burning feeling that could almost burn people.

Yiguang took Zheng Dan's hand with an ugly face, regardless of her struggle, he clasped his wrist vein, the pulse seemed to be urgent and weak, exactly the same as the previous sick Yue women; The pink on her face was not good at all, but burned.

Zheng Dan was still stiff-mouthed, "I'm really fine, you don't care about me." ”

"It's already sick like this, and they say it's okay." Hearing Yiguang's words, the Yue girls who were originally standing next to Zheng Dan turned pale, and one of them said in a trembling voice: "You mean...... She had the same disease as those people? ”

"Yes." Before Yiguang's words fell, the girls shrank to the other side, forcibly making a space in this small cage, and looked at Zheng Dan with frightened and frightened eyes.

There were two Yue girls in this car who died of illness before, and the wives were peaceful for a few days, and there were no more accidents, I thought that no one was infected, but I didn't expect it to be Zheng Dan.

Yalan was also among them, and she said with a frightened face: "Take advantage of the illness just now, hurry up and tell those Wu Jun and throw her out of the car." ”

Soon, a Yue Nu chimed in, "Yes, yes, throw her down quickly, so as not to infect everyone." ”

"Who dares to throw!" Yiguang glared at them fiercely, and his cold gaze made the women dare not make a sound, and Yalan said angrily: "If you don't throw her, all of us will die, do you want to kill us?" How can you be so vicious! ”

Yiguang helped Zheng Dan sit down and said indifferently: "Do you think that if you throw Sister Zheng out, everything will be fine?" Without Sister Zheng, others would have fallen ill, and Wu Jun ......," she looked at the Wu soldiers who were following the prisoner car from afar, "They don't care about our lives or deaths." ”

Yalan would not agree with her words, "Nonsense, if we die, what will they give to King Wu, and what will they give." ”

Yiguang was not angry, and said lightly: "If you care, you will not invite a doctor, and you will not imprison the sick in the original car and isolate them; Think about it for yourself, from the time someone got sick to the present, who has been thrown out of the car, they have all been thrown out of the car after they died. ”

Arlan was overwhelmed by what she said, "That'...... So what now? ”

Yiguang looked at Zheng Dan, whose face was flushed, and said in a deep voice: "I have seen this disease before, it is likely to be dysentery, dirty raw water, unclean food, or contact with patients, it is possible to be infected, I can try to heal, but I need herbal medicine." ”

Yalan suddenly said, "No wonder you have been asking those soldiers for boiled water recently, it turns out that this is the case, okay, what you said before is so high-sounding, what do you say about mutual support, and the same breath; As a result, they know what the disease is, but they don't tell us, which is selfish. ”

"Water is just one of the sources of infection, not necessarily it, besides, you will believe it when I say it?"

Yalan was choked by her and couldn't speak, and said angrily: "We are all imprisoned in the car now, how can we find herbs?" Do you want to ask Wu Jun? ”

A Yue woman next to her chimed in: "That's it, if you say it, you don't say it." ”

Yiguang poured water on the handkerchief, and then applied it to Zheng Dan's forehead, "I just saw a shady hillside with a lot of herbs growing on it, and there may be what I need." ”

Yalan didn't understand the meaning of her words for a while, until the Yue Nu next to her reminded her, and then she woke up and exclaimed, "You want to escape?" ”

Yiguang glanced at her and said coldly: "If you want to be heard by Wu Jun, you can be louder." ”

Sure enough, a soldier of the Wu army heard the voice and walked towards this side, and said impatiently: "What are you doing noisily?" ”

"We ...... Someone here is sick again, please ask the Imperial Doctor to come and see it" Although Yalan was not satisfied with Yiguang, he could also distinguish the severity.

Hearing this, the soldier subconsciously took two steps back, his face was full of vigilance, but he said: "If you are sick, you will be sick, what's the big deal, stop making noise, otherwise you will look good." ”

After the soldier walked away, Yiguang said lightly: "You see, they don't care if we live or die, if you want to live, you have to rely on yourself." ”

Yalan pursed her lips tightly, although she didn't want to identify with Yiguang very much, but the fact was that no matter how noble their status was, in the eyes of these Wu Jun, they were just a group of lowly Yue women who could not be regretted to die.

I don't know how long it took, Yalan suddenly said, "What if you don't come back?" ”

In response to her questioning, Yiguang said lightly: "My sister is here, I will definitely come back." ”

Yalan opened his mouth to speak, and Yiguang took a step ahead and said, "Of course, you can believe it or not, I'm just telling you the facts." ”

"Yiguang ......" Zheng Dan weakly pulled Yiguang's sleeve, "I'm fine, just rest, don't take risks." ”

"If rest had made me better, I wouldn't have died so much." Yiguang clenched her equally hot hands, "Besides, it's not just for you, maybe I'll be the next one to be infected." ”

The autumn night was silent, and the autumn insects chirped weakly in the grass, trying to leave the last traces in the middle of the night, proving that they had been there.

The soldier was napping by the prisoner car, and the key to the prisoner car was hanging on his waist, and several Vietnamese women exchanged glances, reached out and picked up a branch near the prisoner car, and tried to reach his waist.

They wanted to find a longer root, but they searched all over the vicinity of the prisoner cart, and only found a short one, which made them very anxious, and finally Yiguang came up with a way, using a strip of cloth to connect the two branches together, barely reaching the key on the soldier's waist, and after some tossing, finally reached the key and quietly opened the cage.

When Yiguang was about to go out, Yalan suddenly grabbed her and warned: "If you escape, Zheng Dan won't be able to live." ”

"I know." Yiguang brushed away her hand, walked up to Zheng Dan, who was covered in cold sweat, and said softly, "Sister, you wait for me to come back." ”

Zheng Dan nodded and said with difficulty: "You be careful." ”

After Yiguang left, Yalan's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Yiguang knew that the longer she left, the better the chance that the soldier would wake up, so after avoiding the patrolling soldiers, she hurried towards the mountain she saw during the day.

Luckily, the moon was shining right tonight, and the silver glow was pouring down like water, so you could see it clearly without the help of lights.

The mountain roads are rugged, some even have no road at all, so she can only step on the protruding rocks and forcibly climb up, and finally climb to the mountainside, Yiguang's palm has been cut several times by the sharp edges and corners of the rocks, she doesn't look at it, looking around for the herbs she needs.

Heaven has mercy, on the mountainside of this back, there are indeed the herbs she needs, and she quickly pulled out all the herbs she could find into her sleeves, put the drums and bags in the two sleeves, and then went back the same way.

She returned to the place where Wu Jun camped with apprehension, and saw that it was quiet, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so quiet, she must not have found herself leaving, as long as she quietly returned to the cage, then no one would know that she had escaped, at least Wu Jun did not know.

Thinking of this, Yiguang quickened her pace, the soldier was really still napping, but what puzzled her was that all the Yue women in the cage were frightened, especially Zheng Dan, who kept glancing at her, and that look seemed to signal her...... Don't come here.

Don't...... Without waiting for Yiguang to think about it, a sharp bronze knife had already fallen on his neck, and a gloomy voice sounded in his ears, "It's really capable of escaping from the cage." ”

With this voice, a thin figure appeared in sight, and Yiguang recognized that it was Gongsun Li, a close confidant of Xiangguo Gong Wu Zixu.

At the same time, Liuyu kicked the soldier who had been dozing awake, the latter was kicked and fell to the ground, opened his sleepy eyes and was about to scold, seeing that it was Gongsun Li, he quickly closed his mouth and showed a flattering smile, "General Gongsun, why are you here?" ”

"If I don't come, I'm afraid that this Yue girl has escaped, and you don't know." Gongsun said expressionlessly.

The soldier was shocked and shook his head again and again, "This is impossible, the door of the cage has been locked, and the key has been carried by the villain, so it is absolutely impossible to escape." ”

"Then keep your eyes open and see who she is." Looking in the direction of Gongsun Li's finger, the soldier saw Yiguang who had been poisoned with a knife against his throat.

Yiguang is the most beautiful of all the Yue women, this soldier has been sent boiled water by the central government several times, so he naturally recognizes it, but this is the first time the soldier has seen Yiguang in the cage, she is amazingly beautiful in the moonlight, more amazing than looking at each other through the cage, but at this moment the soldier has no intention of appreciating it.

He stared at Yiguang in disbelief and muttered, "How can this be, this is impossible...... Impossible......"

"These Yue girls are dedicated to the king, and they have repeatedly told you to take care of them carefully, but you are fine, just sleeping, and you don't even know that someone has escaped, so slack, what do you want you to do." As he spoke, Gongsun Li flicked his sleeves and said, "Come on, take him down to rectify the Fa on the spot." ”

The soldier was horrified and begged desperately for mercy, but unfortunately to no avail, he was dragged into the darkness by two powerful soldiers, and the result can be imagined.

After dealing with the slacking soldiers, Gongsun Li turned his gaze to Yiguang and said with interest: "Since you have already fled, why did you come back, shouldn't you go far?" ”

"I didn't plan to run away." Yiguang's answer aroused Gongsun Li's curiosity even more, "Among so many people, you are the only one who took the initiative to come back." ”

Yiguang heard the problem from his words, "So many people? ”

Gongsun Li nodded, pointed to Yalan and the others: "They all want to run, only one can't run, fortunately, they are all caught, you are the last, they said you will come back, sure enough." After a pause, he added, "Tell me, why did you come back?" ”

"Come back and save people." Yiguang's answer caused Gongsun Li's surprise, "Do you know how to heal?" ”

There is an unwritten rule in the medical Tao, that is, only men are preached, and Gongsun has been fighting in the south and north for many years, and has never seen a female doctor, so he is so surprised.

"My father is a doctor, and since I was a child, I have learned some fur."

Gongsun Li stared at her for a moment, then suddenly took her hand, and countless herbs that had just been picked from the mountains fell down.

"Sure enough, it's a doctor." Gongsun Li's eyes swept over those fresh herbs, and he said in a cool voice, "So, you already know what kind of disease they have?" ”

Yiguang said slowly: "It will make people have abdominal pain, high fever is not stopped, and it can be contagious, I'm afraid there is only one symptom of dysentery." ”

"Something." Gongsun Li smiled, pointed to the herbs and said, "Can these save them?" ”

"Yes, as long as it ......" Without waiting for Yiguang to continue, Gongsun Li already said: "Leave the poison, take these herbs and burn them." ”

Yiguang was shocked and hurriedly said: "This medicine can save people, but it can't be burned!" ”

Gongsun Li ignored her, and when he saw that he had not moved for a long time, he said unhappily: "Didn't you hear my words?" ”

Liuyu handed Yiguang to the soldiers, walked to Gongsun Li's side, and whispered: "General, Lord Dazai asked us to escort these Yue girls to the Kingdom of Wu to present to the king, along the way, many have died, if it continues like this, I am afraid that before I reach the Kingdom of Wu, I will already be dead, and it will be difficult to explain to Lord Dazai at that time." ”

Gongsun Li brushed the dust off his shoulders and said with a smile: "When did you become Dazai's man?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare, they're just worried about the general."

Gongsun Li smiled faintly, and the gaze that fell on Liuyu's body made the latter uneasy, "From Huiji to Gusu, the road is far away, these Yue women are not adaptable, they get sick and die, what do I have to do?" ”

"But ......" Liuyu wanted to say that he deliberately did not treat these Yue women, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly stopped, and he didn't know what he thought, and he showed a look of horror.

Gongsun Li squinted his slender eyes and said indifferently: "Understood? ”

"Got it." Stay poisoned and bow his head, and quietly hide the greed and reluctance in a place where Gongsun Li can't see.

"That's good." Gongsun Li nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept over Yiguang and Zheng Dan and the others in the cage, and said word by word: "This group of Yue girls intends to escape, and the crime is unforgivable, so it is ...... Kill! ”

Although he had already expected Gongsun Li's thoughts, when he heard this sentence, he was still shocked, and subconsciously wanted to ask for love, of course, not out of kindness, but reluctant to Yiguang's beauty; But he soon recognized the situation, and this matter was not for him to do, and it might even ...... Even Gongsun Li is not the one who calls the shots.

"Subordinates receive orders." Liuyu sighed in his heart, and raised the bronze sword again and pointed it at Yiguang's chest, if this sword goes down, Yiguang will definitely die.

"Don't, please don't kill her!" Zheng Dan cried and begged desperately in the cage, tears fell like beads, but unfortunately, in this troubled world, tears are the least valuable.
