Chapter 36: Life is a roller coaster
It was already late at night, and Qiu Cicada saw Gongsun Qi and Zhen Cheng with haggard faces, after all, they had been running around for two or three days. She couldn't bear it and persuaded the two to go back and rest.
"What can you do if you are alone?" said Gongsun Qi.
"Why not, there are still 100,000 troops outside. Qiu Cicada smiled.
"You've been tired enough in the past few days, and it won't work if you stay here, go back and rest first, and I'll call you when my son wakes up." ”
"Brother Gongsun, I think it's okay, don't forget, there are still 100,000 troops who need you. Zhen Cheng persuaded. So Gongsun Qi and Zhen Cheng went down to rest.
After more than an hour, the autumn cicada also fell asleep leaning on the chair. Suddenly, a shadow swept in, pushed open the door and walked straight in, looking at Mo Chu who was covered in blood on the bed, two lines of tears fell.
"You care about her so much, you don't even want your life for her. She sobbed as she spoke, not knowing whether she loved or hated. Suddenly, she heard a noise outside, as if the autumn cicada had woken up, she quickly swept out the door, and the autumn cicada had just called out the princess, and the shadow had disappeared into the darkness.
"I like people so much, why do I keep running away. Qiu Cicada muttered, "The princess is so good, falling in love with someone who can't be loved." ”
The next day, Zhen Cheng moved Nangong Xin and Mo Chu back to their respective rooms. Nangong Xin was already a little sober, but her body was still relatively weak. Mo Chu was still in a coma, with only a slight pulse on his body. Gongsun Qi and Zhen Cheng's eyes were red and swollen, and their bodies were haggard, but they still straightened their shoulders.
The rain in Hanyuguan still did not stop, but it became heavier and heavier. "Miss Qiucicada, the princess and Brother Mo will be handed over to you, now that the flood is serious, I must lead the soldiers to continue to govern the Wei River, if we silt up downstream, not only the people of Chu will suffer, but also the Yue country upstream. Gongsun Qi's voice was hoarse.
Qiu Chan looked at the iron-blooded tough guy in front of him adoringly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Please take care of your health, the people of the two countries will be handed over to you." ”
Gongsun Qi smiled bleakly, "You also have to take care of your body." After that, he went to the Wei River.
Another day passed, and Nangong Xin was completely conscious. She asked Zhen Cheng and Qiu Chan beside her, "Why haven't you seen Brother Chu all the time?"
Zhen Cheng hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Senior brother has something to go out." ”
"It's been two days, and it's time to come back, are you hiding anything from me?" Nangong Xin asked.
"No, no. After Zhen Cheng finished speaking, he hurriedly went out to wipe his tears.
Nangong Xin saw that Qiu Cicada was also wiping away tears, and suddenly felt bad, "What are you hiding from me, tell me where Mo Chu is?"
Qiu Cicada hurriedly replied: "It's nothing, Childe did go out to run errands." ”
Nangong Xin saw that the corners of Qiu Cicada's eyes were red and swollen, and knew that something must have happened, so she got up and said, "Since you don't tell me, I'll go to him myself." ”
Qiu Cicada was anxious, "Lie down, princess, your body is still very weak and can't move." ”
"If you don't tell me where Brother Chu is, I'll find it myself. Nangong Xin threatened.
"Well, I'll tell you, but you must not get excited. Autumn Cicada said slowly.
"Say it quickly!" Nangong Xin looked at the appearance of the autumn cicada, and had a premonition that the situation was very serious, and she was even more anxious.
"You have been poisoned by Tang Que, the poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, Sai Bian Que exchanged the blood of the son on your body and cured you. Autumn cicada sobbed as she spoke.
"Are you crazy, how can you exchange his blood for me, can he live without blood?" Nangong Xin shouted loudly.
"For his blood can cure your poison. "Autumn Cicada's heart is broken.
"Is he going to die for me, where is he, take me to see him. Nangong Xin shouted madly.
"He was still in a coma, and Sai Bian Que said that if he had woken up a day ago, he would be fine, but he has not woken up yet. Qiu Cicada didn't finish speaking, and she had already started crying loudly.
Nangong Xin jumped up from the bed and clamored to see Mo Chu.
Zhen Cheng rushed in when he heard the sound and said, "Senior sister, you have to be calm, your life is exchanged for your life, if you don't take good care of your body, your junior brother will die in vain." After speaking, his face was full of tears.
"If he dies, what's the point of me living. Quick, take me to see him!" Nangong Xin was completely out of control.
Qiu Cicada slowly helped her to Mo Chu's room. Mo Chu's face was like white paper, lying quietly on the bed. Nangong Xin's tears flowed down like water leaking through the floodgates.
She walked to Mo Chu's bedside and looked at his pale face, unable to cry.
"Brother Chu, why are you so stupid, for my sake, you don't even want your life. Her tears fell onto Mo Chu's face one by one, and in an instant, Mo Chu's face was also moist.
"Brother Chu, wake up, what's the point of my life when you're gone, wake up quickly. She shed every word, and every word was like a knife piercing her heart.
The more Nangong Xin cried, the more sad she became, and she began to shake Mo Chu's body.
Qiu Cicada was anxious, "Don't shake the princess anymore, it's really dead if you shake the boy again." ”
"He's gone, and I'm not alive anymore, Nangong Xin said and fell on Mo Chu and cried bitterly.
Suddenly, Mo Chu's hand moved slightly, Zhen Cheng touched a handful of tears, looked at his hand fixedly, and Mo Chu's fingers moved slightly again.
"Don't make any noise, my brother is awake. Zhen Cheng exclaimed loudly.
Nangong Xin and Qiu Chan immediately stopped when they heard the sound and looked at Mo Chu quietly. Mo Chu was still unconscious. Nangong Xinwan burst into tears again, "You lie to me, Brother Chu is dead." After speaking, he shook Mo Chu's body desperately.
Mo Chu opened his heavy eyelids and said weakly: "Don't shake it, if you shake it again, I'm really going to die." When Nangong Xin heard this, she burst into tears and laughed, "Brother Chu, you are not dead, you are really still alive, great, really good!"
"If you quarrel again, I really won't be able to live. Mo Chu smiled miserably. Qiu Chan and Zhen Cheng jumped for joy.
"Today is really a good day, when Brother Gongsun comes back, we will definitely celebrate. Zhen Cheng said excitedly.
Hearing Zhen Cheng say this, Qiu Cicada looked at the sky, and it was already dark outside the house.
"It's getting dark, and it's time for the general to come back. ”
There was a sound of footsteps outside, "The Great General is back." Qiu Cicada smiled.
The door opened, and it was not Gongsun Qi who came in, it was his lieutenant, his face was pale and he was tired.
"What about the generals?" asked Qiu Chan.
"General, he ......," his words choked in his throat.
"What the hell is going on with the general, don't talk about it, say it quickly. "The autumn cicada is in a hurry.
"The general has died in the line of duty!" he had just finished speaking, and tears were already flowing down his face.
Mo Chu listened, ahhhh Nangong Xin hurriedly ran over to take care of him. The room was in chaos.
Zhen Cheng immediately stabilized his position, "How could the general die in his duties, did he come from Yue Guo to attack us?"
"No, when the general was leading us to govern the Wei River, the upstream Yue Kingdom destroyed the reservoir dam, and the water rolled towards us, and the general was swept into the flood in order to save people. ”
Mo Chu was anxious, "With the general's martial arts, how could he be involved in the flood?"
"When the flood came, the general immediately ordered everyone to evacuate in an orderly manner. But there was a child herding cattle by the river, the cow was frightened when he saw the flood, and the child couldn't pull it, Lin Tianjiao suddenly appeared to help the child, and the general rushed over to throw the child to a safe place. When he tried to take Lin Tianjiao out of the flood, Lin Tianjiao hugged the general because of fear, he couldn't do it, and finally the general threw Lin Tianjiao out with all his strength, but he was swept away by the flood. ”
"How could Lin Tianjiao appear in Hanyu Pass?" Mo Chu asked as he coughed.
"Lin Tianjiao saved the general's mother, and they have known each other for a long time. When she heard that the Wei River was flooding, she took the lead in donating 1,000 taels of silver to us for relief. ”
"I see, nothing good happens to this woman as soon as she gets involved. Mo Chu coughed violently.
"You send more men to search downstream. ”
"The last general has sent 5,000 soldiers to search the Wei River, but he has not found the general, such a big wave, the general is definitely not there. He choked up again.
Mo Chu felt a sharp pain in his heart, and then spurted out a mouthful of blood, and passed out.
