Chapter 259: The wound worsens
Wang Rui, who was beaten by Zhou Xiaocao and vomited blood, led the way in front with a somewhat staggering pace, while Zhou Xiaocao followed with a gloomy face. Seeing this little grass's face, the four charms of Begonia glanced at each other and followed.
They have been by Zhou Xiaocao's side for so long, and they rarely see Zhou Xiaocao getting angry. Actually, this time it was the second time that Zhou Xiaocao got angry. Even if he was betrayed by the little prince Liu Minghui and the betrayal of the Ximen family before, he was not angry, it can be seen that those two things are far from reaching Zhou Xiaocao's bottom line.
So, what is Zhou Xiaocao's bottom line?
The first time he got angry, it was because after returning home, those so-called "Zhou clansmen" came to the Zhou Mansion to make trouble under the ulterior motives of the old patriarch, which made him angry. And the price that made Zhou Xiaocao angry was that the old patriarch died within two days of running home with his tail between his legs when he lost his face. As for his unpromising grandson, who would think that he had the courage to seek revenge on the current patriarch Zhou Xiaocao?
And this time, it was Zhou Xiaocao's second anger, and the reason this time was that he heard that the soldiers of the forbidden army who were injured in order to suppress the bandits were born and died, and their injuries were getting worse!
The four charms of Begonia thought in their hearts, Zhou Xiaocao is really affectionate, these forbidden troops were brought out by him, but he is not obliged to take care of them to the slightest detail. Their injuries worsened, as long as he showed some concern and asked, that is, there was no need to be so concerned, after all, after going back, these people would still return to their respective troops, and it would not be his turn Zhou Xiaocao to intervene.
But Zhou Xiaocao was angry! He really saw these people as his brothers and sisters. For these people, who may just pass by in the journey of life, he cares about them like this. So. What about the four of them?
The other three girls, when they looked at Xianglan-kun. There was a hint of envy in his eyes. In their opinion, Zhou Xiaocao, the master, must have an idea of Xianglanjun beyond the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Whether the two of them admit it or not.
In a hurry, several people finally came to a courtyard. This compound was originally a courtyard for wealthy merchants, and was temporarily used as a recuperation place for wounded soldiers. To be honest, this place is the first time Zhou Xiaocao has come here.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard moanings, cries of pain, and sighs.
Pushing open a room at random, the strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of medicinal herbs came to my face. This room is in the sun. The light is a little dimer. After Zhou Xiaocao's eyes adjusted to it for a few seconds, he saw a slip of ground bunks, with simple covers on it, sitting or lying, all of them were wounded.
Zhou Xiaocao crouched down in front of a soldier who was constantly moaning, and grabbed his injured arm, the gauze wrapped around his arm, oozing a yellowish liquid and the crimson color of blood. Zhou Xiaocao grabbed his arm. He began to grin with his teeth, visibly in great pain. Tearing off the gauze three times and dividing it by two, Zhou Xiaocao took a closer look at the wound and couldn't help but gasp.
It was supposed to be a stab wound. This is the most common wound among soldiers who go into battle to kill the enemy, that is, they are slashed diagonally by a knife, and they enter the flesh by more than an inch. Such wounds. In the Hereafter, it's nothing. Come to the hospital. Clean the wound and wrap it with gauze. With oral anti-inflammatory drugs, it doesn't take long to get better. Even in this backward time and space, it shouldn't be a difficult task for those surgeons with a lot of experience, right?
But now, this wound, suppurated! That means that the wound is infected, and the consequences are serious!
Smelling the faint fishy stench emitted by the suppuration of the wound, Zhou Xiaocao turned back to Wang Rui and said, "What's going on?" I want to hear responsible answers! ”
Wang Rui lowered his head, not knowing whether it was because of pain or fear, or guilt, his voice trembled a little: "General, this last general has invited the best doctor in Xingyang and bought the best medicinal materials, but the doctors said that they can't control it at all!" ”
"Bastard!"
Zhou Xiaocao trembled with anger, pointed outside and shouted, "Go, call those three beasts in for me!" ”
Wang Rui replied and ran out of the city quickly. After a while, three people who were also silent with their heads bowed were brought in, and they were the four generals brought by Zhou Xiaocao this time.
Zhou Xiaocao pointed to the purulent wound, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and his voice was cold: "Tell me, what's going on!" ”
The other three people, you look at me, I look at you, they don't know how to answer. They don't want to see such a situation. The wounds of their own robe brothers have deteriorated, and they have not been worried about it for the past few days. It's just that, no matter what method they use, there is not even the slightest improvement, and the wound keeps getting worse. Helplessly, they thought of it and told Zhou Xiaocao. Such a thing, they could have solved it without Zhou Xiaocao coming forward. It's just that this time, things are far beyond their capabilities. Even, there have been rumors in the army, saying that this is a curse or some kind of curse. It's just that they can't control the deterioration of their injuries, and they can only watch these rumors spread, and there is nothing they can do.
This time, they had already expected Zhou Xiaocao's anger, so they first asked General Wang Rui, who General Zhou appreciated more, to test it. However, what they didn't expect was that Zhou Xiaocao was not only angry, but also thunderous rage!
Facing Zhou Xiaocao with an angry face, the three of them all felt their scalps tingle, and they couldn't answer Zhou Xiaocao's question. After having to look at each other, they all knelt on the ground: "The last general is incompetent!" ”
Zhou Xiaocao shouted, stood up, and rushed forward, everyone kicked and scolded, panting: "Incompetent? You will only say that you are incompetent! These people are our brothers! We brought them out of the capital so that they could make contributions, and we would not let them suffer! Brothers are like siblings, and as generals, we should love soldiers like sons! Now, your soldiers are being tortured like this, and you can only say that they are incompetent! Could it be that the suffering of these brothers, with a word of your incompetence, can be concealed? No! They will only be more miserable, because they will not see hope, they will not see a way out, they will be full of despair! ”
Zhou Xiaocao stretched out his trembling hand, nodded one by one, and was so angry that he was almost speechless at the four generals who were kneeling on the ground: "Damn, damn it!" Are you worthy of the emperor, the court, these robed brothers who followed you from birth to death, and your own conscience? You guys"
is different from the impassioned just now, Zhou Xiaocao's words, but the more he speaks, the quieter his voice becomes. At its worst, it's almost unhearable. However, the anger and disappointment that erupted in the bones made the four generals feel the same way. At this moment, they could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground and wept bitterly.
The cries of the four generals and the sighs of Zhou Xiaocao made the wounded in the room also very infected, and they also cried bitterly when they thought of what happened to them now. In this room, in this man's world, tears became the only theme.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place. At this moment, they were really sad. It is to grieve for his own incompetence, to grieve for the suffering of his brothers.
After a pause, Zhou Xiaocao said: "Don't cry, the problem has come out, we must first find a solution to the problem." Crying will not solve the problem, because God does not sympathize with the weak. If you are a man, you should be self-reliant, and only self-improvement is the eternal theme of men. Now, stand up for Lao Tzu, and then, let's solve this problem together! ”
The four generals got up from the ground and gave Zhou Xiaocao a standard military salute in unison: "Yes!" Checkmate! (To be continued......)
