Chapter 61: Self-blame drags on
Ji Ruhuan raised his head and looked at Wu Yuexuan, who was much taller than herself, and said in a hoarse voice with red eyes, "They died because of me." ”
Wu Yuexuan saw Ji Ruhuan's appearance, sighed, and responded, "They are secret guards, and they are living to protect the safety of their masters, you don't have to blame yourself." ”
Ji Ruhuan sniffed and responded, "If it weren't for my uselessness and going up to drag everyone back, if I listened to you earlier, they wouldn't have died." ”
Wu Yuexuan didn't know how to comfort Ji Ruhuan, he was right, the duty of those secret guards was to protect the safety of the master, maybe before, a secret guard would die if he died, and he wouldn't care at all.
But now I feel sad in my heart, they fought side by side with him, entered the layers of encirclement of Western Xia, and finally entered Hengyang City alive, and fought side by side against Da Liang, and the relationship between master and servant seems to have changed, becoming brothers who fight side by side, comrades-in-arms who advance and retreat together.
Li Zhi, who was ordered by the general on the side to come out to find Ji Ruhuan, listened to the conversation between the two and almost guessed what was going on.
In the end, he followed General Ji to be immersed in the battlefield, and he was used to seeing this kind of life and death, seeing that several people were depressed, he opened his mouth and comforted, "They are the warriors of the Ming Dynasty, and they died to defend the territory of our Ming Dynasty, even if they die, it is also glory, don't be sad, I see that Wu Xiaogongzi is also injured, let's go back first." ”
Thinking that staying would not be of much help, the two of them nodded, and followed Li Zhi to the city in a depressed mood.
But Ji Ruhuan had already been injured, and she was exhausted and sad and blamed herself, so she only walked a few steps, her eyes were black, and she fell backwards.
Wu Yuexuan on the side helped Ji Ruhuan who fell in time, frowned, and looked worriedly at the pale-eyed woman in his arms.
Li Zhi was also shocked, and hurriedly summoned the military doctor on the side to come over, "Quick, show her quickly." ”
The military doctor checked Ji Ruhuan's pulse, and then said, "I've been injured, right? The injury hasn't healed yet, and I'm overworked, so I fainted." ”
Wu Yuexuan and Li Zhidu looked stunned, looking good, how could they have been injured? Why didn't they hear her mention it?
On the side, Wu Tong looked at the stunned expressions of the two, and said, "I must have deliberately concealed it because I was afraid that General Ji would worry." ”
Wu Yuexuan looked at the military doctor on the side, and asked with a worried expression, "Is the injury serious?"
The military doctor was used to seeing too many life and death injuries on the battlefield, and since she could go to the battlefield, Ji Ruhuan's injury was nothing in her eyes, so she answered, "It's not a big deal, but in the end, it's a female baby, go back and take care of it, don't toss anymore." ”
Wu Yuexuan and Li Zhidu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, seeing that Wu Yuexuan was actually going to pick up Ji Ruhuan and go back, Wu Tong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Childe, you still have an injury on your shoulder, or I'll come." ”
Li Zhi's face darkened, he reached over to support Ji Ruhuan by himself, and said to the guards who followed him, "Find a clean stretcher and carry Miss back." ”
Their young lady is still a little girl who is not in time, where can she hug a few big men.
Ji Ruhuan was awakened by a nightmare, the dream was full of blood, there were corpses everywhere, and if you looked closely, they were all people she knew.
Father, Uncle Xiang, Wu Yuexuan, Wu Tong, Li Zhi......
Frightened, she opened her eyes and sat up, only to find herself lying in the room.
There was a middle-aged woman guarding the bedside, and when she woke up, she responded with a smile, "Miss is awake, Lord Li, Lord Li, go and tell the general that Miss is awake." ”
Ji Ruhuan was still sitting on the bed in a daze, thinking about the scene of the river of blood in a daze.
The middle-aged woman brought a bowl of porridge, and said while feeding it to Ji Ruhuan's mouth, "Miss eat some porridge first, fill your stomach, and drink the medicine after eating, otherwise it will hurt your spleen and stomach." ”
Ji Ruhuan opened her mouth mechanically, and the middle-aged woman fed her porridge, only to hear movement at the door.
Ji Ruhuan turned his head, and actually saw that his father was helped in by two people, and finally had an expression on his stunned face, frowned and said, "Daddy still has injuries on his body, why did he come over?"
As he spoke, he was about to get up and go over to help his father.
General Ji hurriedly opened his mouth to stop, "You sit still and don't move." ”
At the same time, he himself also sped up his movements, and the two of them moved to the stool next to Ji Ruhuan's bed and sat down on one foot.
After sitting down, he looked at Ji Ruhuan with a reproachful face and reprimanded, "I have injuries on my body, and I still ran to the city tower without telling my father, do you think your life is big?"
Hearing his father mention the city tower, Ji Ruhuan remembered what happened on the city tower, lowered her head in a depressed mood, and whispered, "My daughter is useless, not only can't help much, but also kills someone." ”
General Ji looked at his daughter like this, where could he bear to blame, in just half a year, his daughter seemed to have changed as if she had become a different person, she had grown up and sensible, but it also made him feel more distressed.
With a sigh, General Ji opened his mouth and comforted, "This is the battlefield, there will always be people who fall one by one, maybe there are your relatives and friends, but since you are on the battlefield, you can't retreat, either you die or I die......"
General Ji paused, and continued, "Look at me, what are you doing with this, these are all men's things, you are a female doll, you should stay at home obediently, be your boudoir lady, now you have seen the cruelty of the battlefield, take care of it in this courtyard, and after a while, you will follow Yue Xuan back to Kyoto." ”
Ji Ruhuan lowered her head with red eyes and didn't speak again.
General Ji turned his head to look at the middle-aged woman on the side, "It's been hard work for this time, sister-in-law." ”
The middle-aged woman replied with a smile, "Don't worry, the little one will take care of the young lady." ”
Since then, Ji Ruhuan listened to his father's words, stayed in this courtyard obediently to recuperate, and did not go out again.
Except for occasionally talking with my father, most of the time I sit under a grape trellis in the courtyard to enjoy the shade.
Whenever she heard the earth-shattering sound of war drums and horns and roars and shouts in the distance, she looked in that direction in a daze.
Since Wu Yuexuan was injured, he was also ordered by General Ji not to go up to the city tower again, and he often wandered around this small courtyard when he was idle.
Every time he saw Ji Ruhuan sitting in the courtyard in a daze, Wu Tong couldn't help but say to his son-in-law on the side, "Childe, this big girl Ji won't be really stupid." ”
Wu Yuexuan didn't speak, glared at Wu Tong and signaled him to shut up, and then stopped, staring blankly for a while before turning around and leaving.
Wu Tong felt that with this experience, his son-in-law was afraid that he would no longer make trouble to divorce Miss Ji.
As far as he thinks, this eldest girl Ji is actually not bad except for being arrogant and domineering, and now she is still a county lord, and she is barely worthy of marrying their son-in-law.
At least it's much better than those delicate ladies in Kyoto, who cry when they don't agree with each other, and are pretentious.
It's just that they have gone this way, and they are still far away in the north, but they don't know that Kyoto is already a different way.
