Chapter 107: Escaping Death
In their discourse, freedom is relative, with preconditions and conditions. On the contrary, it is Zhuangzi, and the freedom described in "The Getaway" is absolute. Judging from the things you have done, you don't look like a doctor who has returned from a study tour, but like an old antique immersed in ancient books all day. β
Yuan Yiyou's eyes suddenly sharpened as if she was about to let it fall apart, and she said loudly: "Freedom! If there are no conditions, it cannot be established! Freedom without restraint is not called freedom, it is called indulgence! Qi Zeyuan still treats you as a friend, digging into the corner of the wall, stabbing you in the back, is this how you treat your friends?! If you want someone else's fiancΓ©e to steal and rob it, then I want to kill you, can you also go with a knife?! If I still have a trace of gratitude to my mother, then I have a bitter hatred for you! If you love her, you will keep her away from her loved ones, if you love her, you will make her discredited, if you love her, you will make her displaced, if you love her, you will make her pregnant before marriage, if you love her, let her die of dystocia, do you really love her? You're a brute in human skin! A brute who loves only yourself! β
A gust of wind suddenly blew, rolling up the sand and dust on the ground, and lost the eyes of Yuan Yiyou, and the sand flowed out with her tears, she opened her eyes and sneered: "What, angry?" So who can you blame? Who made you unable to control yourself back then, and created me as a little brute? Between people, it is necessary to pay attention to human ethics, I have never heard of the word ethics between animals, you can bear with it, after all, this is the first time I have come to see you. β
The only thing that responded to her was the sound of cold wind whimpering, and the original intention was enough to scold, patted the dust on his body, and said, "You can lie here with peace of mind." This is my first time to see you, and it is also the last time I will come to see you. There should be no one in the world who will disturb your tranquility, farewell. β
Yan Bingzhi came back with tears on his face when he saw the original intention, and he comforted her softly for a long time before she stopped her tears. The two went to the ancestral hall of Qiu Tong and the two clans to pay tribute to their ancestors, and after running around all day, they returned to Xinrong Hotel to rest.
Yan Bingzhi buried the words in his heart all the way, and finally couldn't help but say it, "Yiyou, no matter what Lingzun Lingtang has done, they are all your parents." You don't have to blame them, and there's no need to punish yourself for their faults, you ......"
Yuan Yiyou interrupted him, "Brother Bingzhi, I'm tired and want to rest, you should go back to the room early." β
Yan Bingzhi looked at her lonely back, and could only swallow back the words that were about to blurt out......
At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, Tong Yuqing and Qing Ziting set off for Yejin successively. The reason why they didn't travel together was because they wanted to prevent King Duro from getting in the way, and they could spread the risk by going separately. However, their trip was exceptionally safe, not to mention an accident, and even the itinerary was exactly the same as planned, without any deviation. Qing Ziting and Tong Yuqing successfully organized the Tan Festival for Tong Fengyi and He Yanjun, and officially removed them. The two sisters, Yuan Yiyou and Tong Yuqing, finally had the opportunity to talk at night as before, they hadn't seen each other for more than two years, and they had a lot of things to say to each other, and they talked about it until dawn.
It wasn't until Mi Lan invited them to breakfast that they realized that it was not the right sky outside. Qing Ziting saw that the dark circles under the eyes of the two of them were heavier than the other, like two pandas, so she asked them to go back to their rooms to make up for sleep after breakfast.
At the time of parting, Tong Yuqing pulled Yuan Yiyou again and persuaded her to go back to Ningtai with herself. But no matter how Tong Yuqing coaxed and persuaded her, Yuan Yiyou refused to go. Tong Yuqing had no choice but to let Yan Bingzhi continue to follow Yuan Yiyou, but Yuan Yiyou still wanted to refuse, saying that Yan Bingzhi would not have a good way out if he followed her. Tong Yuqing was forced by her, and said directly: "Don't forget that I am now the second young grandmother of the Lu family, you can go, but if you don't take Brother Bingzhi with you, I will tie you to me and take you back to Ningtai." β
Yuan Yiyou pouted, Tong Yuqing also had the same expression as her, Qing Ziting had never seen Tong Yuqing coquettish like a child, she was surprised and happy, so she helped Tong Yuqing persuade Yuan Yiyou together, and Yan Bingzhi also helped on the side.
The original intention was difficult for the enemy, so I had to compromise.
Tong Yuqing and Qing Ziting returned to Yaochen Island one after the other, but unfortunately the storm will always come, and the two learned the news of the resumption of war in the west on the way, and the * of the war was the revelation of Bai Qiaoxuan's eyeliner in Duluo.
The battle was extremely fierce, and King Duluo was almost attacking the Shengwei camp by injuring 1,000 enemies and inflicting 800 casualties. To be able to provoke King Duluo to launch such a reckless attack, Bai Qiaoxuan should not only step on his sore feet, but also almost choke his lifeline. After learning the news, Qing Ziting immediately contacted Tong Yuqing and asked her if she wanted to return to Jindu. Although Tong Yuqing was very worried about the battle ahead, he was generally able to stabilize his mind and calmly told him that he didn't have to. But two days later, when she learned that there were troops in the north and south that had been transferred to the west to support, she couldn't sit still anymore, because Tong Yuhao's military camp was also in the reinforcements.
Although she was very free and easy in front of her younger brother at the beginning, she still sent someone to watch him all the way when her brother left, so as to save his life at a critical moment.
Lu Tiansheng knew what they were talking about when they came back, so he ordered Yang Hao to send front-line military reports to Tong Yuqing three times a day. A month later, the front finally came with good news, and the western defense line was held, but unfortunately the price was very high, and the Celestial Army lost nearly a third of its troops.
Tong Yuqing flipped through and over, but there was no news of Tong Yuhao's detachment in these military newspapers, which means that they lost contact with the main force, and in an instant, Tong Yuqing thought about countless possibilities, until in the end, she could only keep comforting herself that her brother was fine......
When Qing Ziting came back, she saw Tong Yuqing lying on the ground, as if she was surrounded by military newspapers, and hurriedly helped her pick up these military newspapers, but she didn't react at all, and she didn't know what she was muttering.
As soon as Qing Ziting touched her, she was excited, Qing Ziting was very worried, and asked softly, "Ruo Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Is something happening to Yu Hao? β
Tong Yuqing nodded vigorously for a while, shook his head vigorously for a while, grabbed his shirt and said, "I'm going to look for him, he's missing, I'm going to find him......"
Although Qing Ziting didn't know what was going on, she knew that she would not be able to find it, so she stopped her and said, "Ruojiao, calm down, the world is so big, how can you find the missing person alone?" Let's wait for news here. β
Tong Yuqing gradually calmed down, and for several days in a row, Qing Ziting was almost by her side, and the people sent to inquire about the news came and went, went and came, but no one brought back any useful news.
Tong Yuqing's heart became heavier and heavier as time passed, but she still stayed by the phone all day long, looking forward to a familiar voice on the other end of the phone. The familiar voice came over, but it was not the voice that Tong Yuqing wanted to hear the most......
"Yuqing, it's me. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't know Yu Hao was in that death squad, otherwise I would never have sent him to take the risk to go around the ...... behind Dulo"
Tong Yuqing interrupted him, "I don't need to say these things first, I just want to know, is Yuhao alive or dead now......"
Bai Qiaoxuan heard her voice and knew that she was already hovering on the verge of collapse, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Yu Hao is still alive, it's just ......"
Tong Yuqing's heart was pulled up and down by him, and he roared: "Just what?!" Say it quickly! β
"It's just that he was seriously injured and is now resuscitating ......"
Tong Yuqing bounced up from her seat, "Where are you now?" β
Bai Qiaoxuan knew what she wanted to do, and hurriedly said: "Yuqing, although there is no war now, King Duluo may not be crazy again, you still don't want to come over, if there is any news from Yuhao's side, I will inform you immediately......"
Tong Yuqing shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, that's my brother, how can I leave him there alone?" Say it quickly! Don't let me go through the trouble of looking it up. β
Bai Qiaoxuan knew her temper and knew Tong Yuhao's status in her heart, so she could only tell her that Tong Yuhao was now in Shengwei Hospital.
Tong Yuqing put down the microphone and walked out, and as soon as she walked outside the door, she met Bai Jiayin, Bai Jiayin strangled Tong Yuqing's words to persuade her in the cradle, "The legs are on me, if you don't take me, I will go myself." β
Tong Yuqing didn't have time to argue with her, "If you want to follow me, you have to listen to me, otherwise I will throw you back." β
Qing Ziting saw Tong Yuqing and Bai Jiayin in a hurry, and caught up and asked them where they were going, Tong Yuqing briefly said a few words to him, and let him stay at home and get into the car.
Qing Ziting saw Tong Yuqing walking like a lightning speed for the first time, and realized for the first time that if she hadn't been accommodating herself, she wouldn't have been able to catch up with her......
They crossed the mountains and mountains to the lush forest, but the torrential rain fell from the sky, and he was very afraid, because the rain was so heavy that he was about to suffocate, he could not see everything in front of him, but he felt that the trees beside him were broken by the rain, and they fell towards him......
"Ahh
"Yuhao, you're awake!"
Two faces full of joy appeared in front of Tong Yuhao's eyes, "Sister......"
Tong Yuqing's tears slipped down unexpectedly, "Yuhao, you finally woke up, you really scared my sister to death......"
Tong Yuhao stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her sister's face, "Sister, I'm fine, manly man, what's the point of being injured?" By the way, sister, is General Wu okay when he came back with me? β
Tong Yuqing knew that he was asking Wu Kui, so he replied: "He has woken up and is now recuperating from his injuries." β
"I'll go see him......"
Tong Yuhao tried his best to get up, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he realized that something was wrong, "Why can't my legs exert strength?" β
He tried to move again, but couldn't help but panic, "Why is my leg unconscious?" Sister...... What's wrong with my leg......"
Tong Yuqing couldn't bear to look him in the eyes, "You were hit by a boulder and hit your spinal cord ......"
His sister's evasion vanished the last bit of hope in his heart, and he lay down again, his voice hollow, "From now on, I can't stand up again, can I...... I'm a wreck, am I......"
Tong Yuqing shook her head while crying, "No...... No...... The doctor said that as long as you recuperate with peace of mind and then do rehabilitation training, there is still a possibility of recovery......"
Tong Yuhao laughed self-deprecatingly, "Maybe? At that time, my uncle and grandfather were smashed to the spinal cord, paralyzed on the bed, and never got up for the rest of their lives. I ......"
Tong Yuqing hurriedly said: "You are different from him, he was over half a hundred years old when he was injured, and you are only fourteen years old, and your body is much stronger than him." β
Tong Yuhao muttered: "That only means, I will be worse than him, he has only been paralyzed in bed for more than ten years, but I have to be paralyzed for decades......"
Bai Jiayin wanted to say something encouraging him, but it could be seen that he was so depressed, and said angrily: "Tong Yuhao! When did you become so cowardly? The doctor said that there was still hope, and you sentenced yourself to death, you ......"
Tong Yuhao was disheartened, the radical method was useless to him now, he closed his eyes and said, "You guys go out first, I want to be alone." β
Bai Jiayin wanted to say more, but was taken out of the door by Tong Yuqing, and the two happened to meet Bai Qiaoxuan, who came to visit Tong Yuhao.
Bai Qiaoxuan saw Tong Yuqing's face and asked, "Hasn't Yuxuan woken up yet?" β
Tong Yuqing shook her head, "Wake up, but it's ......"
Bai Qiaoxuan sighed secretly, "It is impossible for anyone to suffer a sudden change in his heart without half a wave, give him a little time, he will figure it out." β
Tong Yuqing leaned against the wall, "I shouldn't have promised him to join the army in the first place......"
Bai Qiaoxuan said: "Okay. Repenting about what has already happened is not only useless, it is also a waste of time. If you have time to regret it, you might as well find a way to enlighten Yu Hao. I think you should go back to sleep first, I won't see you for a few days, your dark circles are not like words. Don't be fine, but you fell first. β
Tong Yuqing didn't respond, Bai Qiaoxuan signaled his sister to take Tong Yuqing back to rest, and he went into the house to visit Tong Yuqing.
Tong Yuhao closed his eyes, thinking that Tong Yuqing and Bai Jiayin were back, and shouted, "Didn't I say I wanted to be alone quietly?!" What are you guys doing back?! β
Bai Qiaoxuan said with a smile: "People who are soldiers are different, so majestic......"
Tong Yuhao saw that it was Bai Qiaoxuan, and wanted to get up, but remembered that he couldn't get up at all, so he could only lie down and ask, "Brother Qiao Xuan, why do you have time to come to see me?" β
Bai Qiaoxuan picked up an apple and replied, "Who made you a great hero of hard work in this battle?" No matter how busy I am, I have to take the time to offer my condolences. β
Tong Yuhui thought of those sacrificed comrades-in-arms, and his heart was full of unspeakable bitterness, "Where am I a hero?" If it weren't for the fact that I didn't know the height of the sky, Brother Ji would not have died. In the past, I thought that war was nothing more than a struggle between the rights and interests of the higher-ups, but now that I think about it, I am really blind. For ordinary soldiers, war is actually a line of flesh and blood, life and death. I am still trying to use the war to gain more authority and strengthen the foundation of my family's business?! If it weren't for my sister arranging Brother Ji to my side, I wouldn't even be able to survive, so what would I do to maintain the Tong family? β
Bai Qiaoxuan narrowed his eyelids slightly, "Listening to what you mean, you are very sorry for the soldier surnamed Ji." What was his last wish before he died? β
Tong Yuhao mourned in his heart, "He was hit in the heart, and he didn't have time to leave any last words." β
Bai Qiaoxuan asked again: "Then what do you think he will do?" β
Tong Yuhao thought about it and said: "He must hope that I can escape, and he will also hope that his wife and daughter can be safe and happy in the days without him." β
Bai Qiaoxuan said lightly: "Not every woman is like your sister and can be on her own. If his wife is just an ignorant woman who stays at home, then the orphan and widow have difficulty even making ends meet, how can there be any peace and joy? β
Tong Yuhao's blood surged, and just wanted to say that I raised them, but I thought that I couldn't even get out of bed now, how could I support others?
Bai Qiaoxuan didn't have to think about it, he could guess his thoughts, and asked lightly, "You don't want your sister to raise them, right?" It's not enough for her to hold you in the palm of her hand, but also to repay the life-saving kindness for you, right? β
Tong Yuhao's face turned red, "No...... That was not what I meant...... I just ......"
Tong Yuhao couldn't say why, but Bai Qiaoxuan didn't mean to let him go at all, and asked, "Just what?" You don't mean to say that because you are paralyzed in bed, you can't provide for the widows and orphans of your life-savers, do you? β
Tong Yuhao's head was buried unconsciously, Bai Qiaoxuan put down the peeled apple, and continued: "Could it be that the soldiers who are fighting against the enemy army can put down the weapons in their hands and let the enemy trample on the land of their homeland because they are seriously injured? If everyone thinks like you, then the defense line of the Western Realm has long been torn by King Duro, can you still lie here and recuperate with peace of mind? The big brother Ji in your mouth used his own life to exchange your life from the king of Yama, just to make you justifiably give up on yourself? What if you have to collapse on this bed in the future? At least your hands can move! What's more, it's not like you don't have any hope of recovery. Don't tell me, you're so old that you've never heard a story of a crippled Zhijian. Your sister has a copy of the "Records of the Historians" in the office of the Financial Secretary of Yejin, and you will not be forced by your father to read the "Records of the Historians" less than she does. I don't need to say more about Sima Qian's situation, right? He can complete the "Chronicles" in a situation of great physical and mental damage, but you don't even have the courage to face the disease. You don't have to be ashamed of yourself, I also think you can't afford to be the beam of the Tong family. Not everyone is like you, there is such a good sister, she has paved a smooth road for you, but you don't even want to take a step, and you have to let her coax you and persuade you. Do you say it yourself, is this like a word? β
Tong Yuhao whispered, "Brother Qiao Xuan, I know it's wrong...... I won't say those discouraged words again, I will definitely follow the doctor's instructions to recuperate......"
"Well, this is what it looks like," Bai Qiaoxuan handed him the peeled apple, "Let's eat an apple." β
When Tong Yuqing returned to the ward again, she saw that Tong Yuxuan's appearance had completely changed, and she was very curious about what Bai Qiaoxuan had told him, Bai Qiaoxuan replied: "Some words, it is more useful for men to say to men, you women are too soft-hearted." β
Tong Yuqing heard it in a fog, Bai Qiaoxuan looked at the time and said, "I have a meeting in two quarters of an hour, I have to go back quickly." In short, you just remember one sentence, treat him as usual, and everything will change back to the way it was. β
Tong Yuqing nodded knowingly, taking care of her younger brother as usual, and Bai Jiayin was also helping on the side.
One day, when Tong Yuqing made lunch and brought it back, through the doors and windows, she saw Tong Yuhao deliberately pushing Bai Jiayin to the ground, and she was so emotional that she didn't know what she was talking about, and Bai Jiayin was also in tears.
Tong Yuqing didn't know why, but when she saw Bai Jiayin suddenly stand up, she hurriedly hid in the ward on the side, watching her leave the rear and return to her brother's ward. Tong Yuqing put afternoon lunch and said softly, "Why did Ayin provoke you?" Even if she does something wrong, you can't push her like that. β
Tong Yuhao covered the quilt and said lightly: "She didn't do anything wrong, I deliberately made her angry." As for why I did this, my sister should understand. β
Tong Yuqing's heart sank, remembering the situation when she married Qing Ziting.
"Cardamom is the best age in a woman's life, and I can't let her waste the best years in the hospital room. I can recuperate in peace, and I can have someone to keep me company, but this person can't be her. β
Tong Yuqing seems to have a thousand words, but she doesn't know where to start. She pondered for a long time before she said, "You have grown up, and you should have your own responsibility for everything." Since this is your decision, then my sister supports you. β
Tong Yuhao shook his sister's hand like a child, "Sister, it's good to have you." β
Tong Yuhui thought that everything between him and Bai Jiayin was over, but he didn't expect that the next morning, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was her.
His little surprise was quickly overwhelmed by reason, and he scolded: "Why are you here again? β
Bai Jiayin didn't answer, and Tong Yuhao said again: "Why are you faceless and skinless?" I already told you so clearly yesterday, why are you still so ignorant? β
Bai Jiayin just looked at him silently, still didn't answer, Tong Yuhao stood up and shouted, "Since you didn't understand, then I'll say it again." I hate you, your temper is rotten and smelly, I used to let you score three points for the sake of Brother Qiao Xuan's face. Now I don't want to endure it anymore, you go, you get out, I don't want to see you again! You will never be in my sight again! β
Bai Jiayin still sat where she was, Tong Yuhao was anxious, picked up the apple on the side, and threw it at her, "Get out!" β
Bai Jiayin caught the apple he threw over, took a bite directly, and finally began to speak, "No face, no skin, I don't know what to do, and I have a bad temper, from yesterday to now, these three words have been rolled around like wheels by you." Can you change the word? As the young master of the Tong family, oh no, it's the head of the Tong family, and your vocabulary is too scarce, right? β
Tong Yuhao was speechless for a while, and his eyes were empty, thinking about how to let her go. Bai Jiayin casually threw the apple out, put one hand on his pillow, and forced him to lie back.
"I'll tell you ......"
