Chapter Fifty-Six: Heaven Should Not Be Spiritual, Earth Is Not Spiritual
When they reached the northernmost tent, the crowd stopped. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć As soon as the traitor opened the wooden door, he smelled a foul smell coming to his face. The man's face was full of disgust, and he covered his nose and said, "Throw the two of them in, quick, quick!" It stinks! ā
As soon as the words fell, the two rebels raised their feet, kicked Lu Chengkong and Xu Li in, and immediately covered their noses and left, leaving only one person to guard the door.
There were no windows on all sides of the tent, and he couldn't see his five fingers, Lu Chengkong was kicked in, his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground. As soon as his hands touched the ground, he felt sticky. There was a damp stench all around, and the smell was like the dung of livestock.
"Ah......" There was a sudden groan of pain beside him, Lu Chengkong hurriedly crawled over, stretched out his hand and groped around, and said, "Brother Xu!" Where are you? ā
Seeing that no one replied, Lu Chengkong followed the sound and climbed forward a few more steps, only then did he touch Xu Li. I only felt that Xu Li was cold and trembling slightly.
"Brother Xu......" Lu Chengkong grabbed Xu Li's clothes, and he didn't know what to do.
After a while, gradually getting used to the darkness around him, Lu Chengkong looked down, only to see that Xu Li's left elbow had been cut off by Qi Qi, the wound was bloody and fleshy, and blood was oozing out from time to time.
It's only been three or two days, Lu Chengkong seems to have been used to such bloody scenes, and he no longer feels disgusted, so he hurriedly took off his coat, tore off a piece of linen, and tied Xu Li's left hand firmly.
"Oh,!" Xu Li struggled to sit up, pressed the injury tightly with his right hand, and scolded: "If it weren't for the tiredness of the past few days, I would ...... How could I have a hand cut off! Ahem......" Before he finished speaking, he kept coughing.
"Brother Xu...... I'm sorry......" Lu Chengkong saw that Xu Li, a rough man, had become the weak he is now, and remembered Song Qiang's words: If they had returned to Nangang at that time, or if they hadn't entered Yan County, they would never have died...... Perhaps, it was their own 'refusal to admit defeat' that killed them.
"It's all my fault...... It's all my fault! Lu Chengkong suddenly felt guilty, hung his head, and couldn't help blaming himself.
"Haha......" Xu Li coughed twice, forcibly took a breath, and forcibly smiled bitterly: "Master Lu, why do you feel guilty?" How can there be immortals on the battlefield? Today is either your death or his death...... When you go to the battlefield, you can't regret it...... I will never regret it! ā
"But if I hadn't insisted on going my own way and insisting on coming to Cui Xiliang, Pang An, Liu Shi, and Tianlu would not have died!" Lu Chengkong gritted his teeth, thinking that even Pang An's corpse could not be saved, and his eyes turned red.
Xu Li sighed and said weakly: "Song Qiang has become a rebel, why do you bother to take his crazy words to heart?" Ay...... People are not as good as heaven, don't blame yourself, let's do our best! ā
"I lost, but I really tried my best. Pang An, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry for you! Lu Chengkong touched his chest and looked around, unable to resist.
Being a general and making contributions has become a dream bubble for a person who is trapped in a cage.
At this time, a traitor opened the tent door, threw two jugs of water, and cursed: "Stop arguing! Cut your tongues again! ā
Lu Chengkong picked up the kettle, fed Xu Li to drink, and then helped him to lean aside. After a while, Xu Li fell asleep, but where could he sleep? Suddenly I remembered the days when I just came to this world, although I was confused, but I could eat and drink enough, where would I suffer like this? Thinking about all this, I can only be helpless.
I don't know how long it took, but I saw that the moonlight gradually penetrated through the crack of the door, Lu Chengkong got up and checked Xu Li's wound, the bleeding had stopped, but he shouted him twice, but he was still groggy and not awake. Lu Chengkong couldn't help but be a little worried, but he was afraid that Xu Li would never wake up again.
It wasn't until noon that one of them opened the door and threw in two bowls of food. Lu Chengkong picked it up and saw that the white rice in the bowl was already a little yellow, mixed with a few pieces of green vegetables, and there seemed to be black soil next to it...... It's not as good as the leftovers that others eat. Lu Chengkong smelled the foul smell in the camp tent, and then looked at the leftovers in his hand, although he was hungry, he couldn't eat it.
After a few hours, Xu Li finally woke up. Lu Chengkong picked up the black mud on the rice and fed Xu Li a few bites. Xu Li no longer had the strength to speak, and after eating, he fell asleep again, and Lu Chengkong could only curl up to the side.
For two days in a row, Lu Chengkong and Xu Li stayed in this camp tent that did not see the light of day.
By the end of that night, Lu Chengkong hadn't eaten for five days. He sat cross-legged on the ground, his limbs were weak, his eyes were full of stars, he kept swallowing saliva, and he was holding the leftovers in the bowl blankly. I don't know how long I watched it, but I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, and I didn't care if my hands were on the ground with excrement, or if the food stinked...... He picked up his rice bowl and devoured it.
This meal was full of rancid taste in his mouth, Lu Chengkong chewed it twice, and spit it out with a "wow". But he was only stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth again and chewed expressionlessly......
Whatever it is, eat it to live.
He seemed to be accustomed to the stench, and even if the rice was mixed with the sand on the ground, he didn't care, and in a few clicks, he ate with the bottom of the bowl facing the sky.
After the meal, Lu Chengkong's spirits improved. It's just that no one has spoken to him for the past few days, and I don't know what the military situation outside the camp is. Xu Li slept on the side except for drinking water and eating in a daze. Lu Chengkong crawled over, touched Xu Li's forehead, and exclaimed, "It's so hot!" Raising Xu Li's severed arm again, he could already smell the smell of decay.
"Brother Xu, Brother Xu!" Lu Chengkong hurriedly shook Xu Li.
Xu Li closed his eyes tightly, frowned, his mouth opened slightly, and he didn't know what nonsense he was reading.
"Doctor!" Lu Chengkong hurriedly slapped the door of the tent and shouted.
After a while, a person slowly walked over. When he opened the tent door, Lu Chengkong hurriedly begged: "Please, go and ask the doctor to save Brother Xu!" ā
"Doctor?" The man just glanced at Xu Li in the corner, sneered, and said impatiently to Lu Chengkong: "Do you know where this is?" Still want a doctor? It's a big night, what is the noise, if you don't shut up, I will kill you now! ā
"He can't be delayed! Please, please get a doctor! Lu Chengkong said unrelentingly.
"Phew!" How could this man care about Xu Li's life or death? opened his mouth and spat at Lu Chengkong, then closed the door of the tent, and read as he walked: "Shut up Lao Tzu!" ā
At this moment, Lu Chengkong has already called the heavens and the earth to be ineffective.
In the early morning, the tent door opened again, and several people entered. Lu Chengkong had the light on his back and couldn't see their appearance.
Suddenly, a person raised his whip and whipped it towards Lu Chengkong, how could he be prepared? I felt a whip swept over my face, and it was suddenly hot, and I immediately covered my face and said angrily: "What are you doing!" ā
The man ignored Lu Chengkong, whipped Xu Li again, and said in his mouth: "Get up for Lao Tzu and go to work!" Xu Li was whipped and did not move.
When the man saw Xu Li lying still, he scolded: "Pretend to be dead? He raised his whip and whipped it again.
Seeing this, Lu Chengkong thought to himself where Xu Li could withstand this toss, so he hurriedly rushed towards this person and exclaimed, "Stop...... Don't fight! ā
"Ahh But before he could pounce on him, he was kicked in the stomach by the man. Lu Chengkong rolled to the ground with a painful face, only to see the man walking towards him with an angry face.
"Dare to fight back!" The man whipped Lu Chengkong several times in the face and body before he stopped and scolded: "You stand up for Lao Tzu!" ā
Lu Chengkong endured the pain, stood up crookedly, and said in a low voice: "Don't beat Brother Xu...... His left hand was broken, and he was feverish, and he couldn't stand up. ā
A person next to him walked up to Xu Li, swiped his hand with his foot, and said, "This person is really dying." ā
After hearing this, the man with the whip didn't care about Xu Li, raised his hand and pointed at Lu Chengkong, and said coldly to the person behind him: "Take him out to work, this dead man will not care about him!" ā
The two responded and dragged Lu Chengkong out of the tent.
