Chapter 2: Dalang, it's time to drink the medicine

"Listen to it, give our family the best medicine, we must wake up this kid, he blocked an arrow for our family, and our family wants to give him back his life, understand?"

"Yes!"

Half-asleep and half-awake, Su heard a high-pitched voice commanding something, and there seemed to be many people around him, and there was flattery in his voice.

After a while, perhaps the owner of the voice was gone, and the people who invited merit and flattery gradually dispersed, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

What's going on?

Sue's mind was a mess, and the sudden change of circumstances turned his cognition upside down, but he tried to keep himself calm, and the long-term brutal training allowed him to quickly adjust himself in order to make the most accurate judgment no matter what unexpected situations he faced.

"Turn on the PC and check the damage!"

Su called out in his consciousness and wanted to activate the electronic chip implanted in his brain, but the call seemed to sink into the sea, and the chip did not respond.

At the same time, a burst of intermittent memories echoed in his mind like a fragmented movie.

The memory is another self, surnamed Xu Mingrui, sixteen years old, when his parents died when he was nine years old, he was accepted as a righteous son by his father's comrade-in-arms, Yang Weiyuan, Marquis Jingwu of the Great Wei, and has been in the army since then, and is now the leader of Jingwuhou's personal guard.

Although it is still a non-mainstream martial arts position, and there are only 17 people under its jurisdiction, but with the care of his father-in-law, as long as he can make military achievements on the battlefield, he will be able to rise to prominence in the near future.

Under the washing of these memory fragments, Su suddenly recalled the sound of horses' hooves before fainting, and the battlefield of swords and swords, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

Did you really go to the Land of Exile, or to a parallel time and space, or even to a planet that was still in the Cold Weapon Age?

He remembered very well that he had come to this world with his soul and body, but how could he have this Xu Rui's memory now? And he seems to look exactly like himself?!

Under the suspicion, Su's muscles twitched slightly, and the eyelids that had been unable to open seemed to be unrestrained, and opened suddenly.

"Wake up, wake up, young master wake up!"

There was an exclamation from the side.

Before Su could see the world clearly, the dazzling sunlight penetrated his pupils, stabbing him from opening his eyes.

He subconsciously raised his hand to block his eyes, and saw an old bearded face between his fingers, almost touching the tip of his nose.

"Ahh

Sue was startled by the old face and sat up with a grunt.

And the owner of the old face seemed even more stunned than he was, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Less...... Master...... You ......"

"What's wrong with me?"

Su asked subconsciously.

The man pointed to Su's chest and said tremblingly, "Young Master, your injury ......"

Su looked down and saw that his chest was wrapped in a thick bandage, and the layers of cotton cloth were printed with red blood.

He immediately remembered the arrow he had been shot in the chest before, and his heart sank.

You must know that there is neither plasma nor antibiotics on the ancient battlefield, and there is no surgery, and the chance of surviving when you are shot in the chest is too low and too low.

But the strange thing is that after such a serious injury, he did not feel pain at all, moved his hands and feet slightly, and did not have any blockage, as if he had never been injured.

Su hurriedly pulled the bandage up, and his eyes suddenly widened.

There was no wound on his chest, just a thumb-sized scar that looked like he had been recuperating for years, not just an arrow!

"This ......"

Su hurriedly looked around, he was sitting in a small tent, under his buttocks was a thin wooden bed board, there was no moisture-proof equipment on the ground, and a small pot was directly supported in the mud, and the strong smell of medicine diffused from the pot, and there was a bitterness.

There were a lot of bloodstained bandages scattered around the small pot, and there were also wooden basins used to clean the wounds, just like the scene of first aid, which was enough to prove that he had indeed just been injured.

"There are strange things every day, and there are a lot of them today, but why is it not logical?"

Su slapped his head and leaned on the bed board and half-lay down.

"Less...... Young master, isn't the magic medicine sent by Grandpa Cao working? ”

The old face came up tremblingly, and it could be seen that he was a little afraid of himself, but he had no intention of running away.

Su looked at the man, he was a man in his fifties, not tall, his body was very thick, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a low-level soldier.

There is this person in Xu Rui's memory, his name is Xu Fang, he is the domestic slave of the Xu family, and the only inheritance left to Xu Rui by his own father.

Seeing that Xu Fang was wearing armor, the brown leather armor was stained with dark red blood, and the white cotton on the neckline had been soaked in sweat and blackened.

Su has been an orphan since he was a child, and in order to fill his stomach, he was abducted and cheated, and it was not once or twice that he was beaten up and couldn't get out of bed, and no one ever cared about his life or death.

Although this military man cares about his young master Xu Rui, not his real self, but for Su, who is extremely lacking in love, he still feels a little moved.

But moved to be moved, after all, Su has a heavy responsibility, and he came to such a ghost place inexplicably, he knows very well that if he wants to live, collect intelligence, and accurately formulate the next plan is the top priority.

The memories that had just been poured into his mind were just fragments, and there was a large missing piece in the middle, and Su almost didn't know anything about the environment he was in, and he could only hope for the Xu Fang in front of him.

"Xu Fang, what's the situation now, tell me about it."

Sue asked in as calm a tone as she could.

Hearing the young master's question, Xu Fang's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Young master, we escorted the military rations with the supervising army Cao Gonggong yesterday, and the team fell thirty miles behind the Chinese army, who knew that we just ran into the barbarians of the Southern Dynasty and fought an encounter.

Those bastards were prepared, we were caught off guard, plus the eunuch of Gonggong Cao only managed to escape for his own life, and the brothers fought hard, this battle was a mess, and the Chinese army was almost intercepted.

Fortunately, Hou Ye expected that the battle situation had changed, and the army arrived in time, so that the danger was saved.

You are really, those dogs and eunuchs, which of the brothers is looking at him? When you are shot in the chest, the medical officer said that if you deviate to the left a point, it will be difficult for the gods to be saved!

If you have something long and short, how can I go to see the lord under the nine springs......"

As he spoke, Xu Fanglao burst into tears and couldn't cry.

It was the first time Su had dealt with a crying old man, one head and two big, and he was thinking about how to stabilize him and ask for something useful, but suddenly there was a burst of footsteps outside the tent.

"Take the medicine, take the medicine!"

The curtain was lifted, and a lieutenant in his early twenties walked in with a medicine bowl.

Seeing Su sitting on the bed, the lieutenant was slightly stunned, and said in astonishment: "Xu Zuoling, you are awake?" ”

Su and Xu Fang looked at each other, they didn't know the person, or Xu Fang came back to his senses first, clasped his chest with his left fist, and gave a military salute: "The lowly Xu Fang has seen the adult, who are you?" ”

"Oh, the last general is a pro-military captain under Gonggong Cao's account, and he came to deliver medicine on the order of Gonggong Cao, but I didn't expect Xu Zuoling to wake up, but he wasted this holy medicine."

The lieutenant laughed loudly.

Xu Fang scratched his scalp and said embarrassedly: "Isn't it that group of little yellow doors every time the medicine is delivered, why do you bother the adults to make this trip this time?" It's really gratifying. ”

The captain smiled: "Xu Xiaoqi is polite, this medicine is different from the past, it is the great inner holy medicine treasured by Gonggong Cao, it is said to have the miraculous effect of white bones and raw flesh, of course, the last general will personally run this trip." ”

As he spoke, the lieutenant handed the medicine bowl to Xu Rui: "Although Xu Zuoling is sober, he hurts his heart, so don't take it lightly, let's drink the medicine." ”

Raw flesh and bones? This cow has blown up to the sky, but I didn't expect that the greedy and fearful of death Father-in-law Cao was still a little righteous......

Su scolded a word, took the medicine bowl and was about to drink it, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the captain staring at him intently, the smile on his face seemed to be a little stiff, and his hands were trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.

"I heard that this medicine was given by the saint himself, and Gonggong Cao was reluctant to use it himself, but he took it to save you, which shows that his old man values you, what are you waiting for, drink it."

Seeing Su holding the medicine bowl and falling into deep thought, the captain hurriedly urged, but that reminded Su of a classic line: "Da Lang, it's time to drink medicine."

Su nodded slightly, quietly approached the medicine bowl and sniffed it, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"The father-in-law and the adults are kind, how dare they live up to their humble duties? This is served, this is served. ”

As he spoke, he held the medicine bowl in both hands and brought it to his mouth.

Seeing this, the lieutenant's eyes froze, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, but before the smile could bloom, it completely froze on his face.

I saw Su's wrist shake, the medicine bowl turned into a water scoop, and the decoction that should have been drunk suddenly splashed on the captain's face, he couldn't dodge, and was splashed with dog blood, and suddenly screamed, covered his eyes and fell backwards.

"Young master, what are you doing?"

Xu Fang was shocked, but saw Su suddenly jump up from the bed and pull out Xu Fang's waist knife.

"Don't do anything, just kill people!"

Su let out a low snort, and slashed at the captain's neck with a large knife.

"What?!"

Xu Fangru was killed by thunder, and he was in place, not knowing what to do.

"Good thief!"

The lieutenant's reaction was very fast, and before he could completely fall to the ground, his right hand had already touched the hilt of the knife hanging from his waist, and at the same time, his left hand wiped his eyelids, forcibly opening his painful eyes, wanting to launch a counterattack immediately after landing.

But as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a cold blade swept like moonlight, slashing at the back of his neck, and blood splattered out.

Su's reaction was not unpleasant, and his attack was not ruthless, but he never expected that the waist knife was very heavy, the steel mouth was poor, the strength in his hand was not enough, the blade was slightly off by three points, and it did not cause fatal injuries when it slashed above the cervical vertebrae.

The lieutenant snorted and fell to the ground, he was also a ruthless character, regardless of the severe pain at the moment of life and death, covering the wound with one hand and pulling out the waist knife with the other, he was about to get up and fight hard.

And once he gets up, with Su's powerless body, he can't say that he will be killed immediately.

"What are you doing in a daze, and you don't come up to help?"

At the last moment, Su shouted, and Xu Fang, who was stunned, came back to his senses, and he didn't have time to think about it, gritted his teeth, jumped out like a mad tiger, and threw down the captain who wanted to get up, and held his right hand holding the knife with both hands.

Su was fierce in his heart, gritted his teeth, held the knife in both hands, jumped up from the bed, and slashed at the man's neck with all his might.

With a "poof", the long knife entered the flesh, blood spilled all over the faces of the two people, and a round head rolled to the side, dead and blind.

Seeing that the captain was killed, Su Chang breathed a sigh of relief, threw away his waist knife and collapsed.

"It's really troublesome, the efficiency of killing people with knives is simply terrifying......"

He muttered, only to feel as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and he simply lay down on the ground.

"Less...... Young master, this is miserable, let's kill Gonggong Cao's personal military captain, not to mention the old gelding, even Master Hou can't spare us. ”

Xu Fang looked at the captain who was in a different place, and was so anxious that he wanted to cry without tears.

Su tilted his head to look at him, he was amused in his heart, he didn't hesitate a little when he asked him to help, but now he was scared, it seems that this guy is also loyal, but he is a little timid......

"Okay, don't worry, he will never be Gonggong Cao's person, he is here to kill me, if you don't believe it, take a broken silver, smear it with the spilled decoction, and see if it will turn black."

Su couldn't bear to tease this honest man, Wen Yan explained.

Xu Fang was slightly stunned, and hurriedly took out a broken silver the size of a fingernail from the box, and dipped it in the remaining little decoction, and the silver immediately turned black.

"Poison in medicine!"

Xu Fang exclaimed in surprise, his two eyes widened, and he looked at the young master's face like a ghost.

"God! What a god! Young master, how do you know he's here to kill you? And you know that the medicine is poisonous?! ”

Su waved his hand and said: "Before the great development of applied chemistry, there were only a few kinds of poisons, and the most used was arsenic trioxide, commonly known as arsenic.

Due to the immaturity of the technology, a large amount of arsenic sulfide is often left behind when refining arsenic, and the arsenic sulfide will turn black after a chemical reaction with silver, which is what you see.

As for how I found out......"

Xu Rui sneered and said: "This person probably has no professional training, his psychological quality is too poor, he is in an obvious state of anxiety, coupled with the failure of expression management, staring at the bowl of medicine, even the blind know that there are ghosts in the medicine."

I just smelled it, and although the bowl of medicine has a strong medicinal taste, I can still smell the obvious bitter almond smell, which means that the arsenic dose in the medicine is very large, and even the strong smell of medicinal herbs can't be concealed, which is really a bit amateurish.

Young Master, if I can't even see through such a low-level assassination, I deserve to die, now do you understand? ”

Xu Fang scratched his scalp and shook his head suspiciously.

He didn't understand what arsenic trioxide was, and what expression management he had, but he felt that the young master had become a different person since he woke up, and he had become unfathomable.

Idiot, you are discussing scientific principles with this primitive man......

Su rolled her eyes, scolded herself in her heart, then wiped the blood from her face and stopped talking.

The sudden appearance of the star beast, the inexplicable spatial teleportation, Xu Rui's identity and memory, and the arrow wound that recovered in an instant, Su always felt as if there was an invisible hand controlling all this.

It's just that it's too late to think about it now, because he first has to live in this completely unfamiliar environment, and if he wants to survive, he must sort out the chaos and make a practical plan.

And most crucially, he wants to assess whether it is possible to save up an interstellar fleet in this hellish place and send the damned alien invaders back home......
