Chapter 497: Turning Point (2)
Qin Yining naturally knew Mu Jinghu's predicament. He is a person who values love and righteousness, and since he promised his master to protect the safety of Tianjizi, he will not regret it. This time he was able to save them against Tianjizi's wishes, which was already extremely rare, Qin Yining naturally couldn't wear Mu Jinghu and just let it go, although they now needed the protection of a person with strong martial arts like Mu Jinghu.
At this time, Lu Heng had already relied on his fluent Tatar language and superb communication skills, so that the Mino tribes present had a great impression of them. After chatting for a while, Qin Yining whispered to Lu Heng about letting Mu Jinghu go back.
Lu Heng smiled and explained to those clansmen. Although he couldn't understand what he said, looking at the understanding smiles on everyone's faces, Qin Yining was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Lu Heng turned around and said to Mu Jinghu in Da Zhou: "Since the elders in your family still need you to take care of them, let's go back quickly, thank you for your help today." He said and saluted Mu Jinghu.
Mu Jinghu returned the salute and said, "I feel guilty for not being able to continue to protect you." ”
Lu Heng smiled: "You have already helped us a lot, why are you still guilty?" If you want to feel guilty, it is also us who have tired you and dragged you into such a chaotic situation. ”
Mu Jinghu was not good at words, let alone talking about these scenes, so he only smiled shyly and said goodbye to Lu Heng and Qin Yining again.
Chaganbala stood up and took Mu Jinghu out through the side door.
Harbara took Lu Heng and Mu Jinghu to a room at the back of the big house, "There are too many people here, each room is divided between women and children, and the rest of the people are crowded in front to roast the fire together. I don't think the two of you are used to resting with people, so let's sleep here for the night, and then I'll try to contact the people and find a way to escape together. ”
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Okay, you can arrange it." ”
Halbara left laughing.
Qin Yining already had a fever at this time. The whip marks on her body were deep and shallow, past the initial hot time, and now she can pull the wound with a single finger, and her brows are tightly knit in pain. In front of people, she can still hold on to her tense spirit and not show the slightest flaw, but now she doesn't need to continue to be patient.
When Lu Heng saw Qin Yining's face, he knew that her wound must be hurting, and helped her to sit down on the floor covered with hay and shabby sheets, Lu Heng said worriedly: "Are you okay?" Is it feverish? ”
Qin Yining trembled, huddled in the cold corner with the package, and reluctantly smiled: "It's okay, the wound is inflamed, and the fever is normal, I have a good foundation, just rest." ”
"I'll go and get some firewood from them, and I'll light a fire here too, and boil some hot water for you to drink." Lu Heng was about to go out immediately.
Qin Yining hurriedly pulled the hem of his robe, "Don't bother." Minobu was mistreated by Anari, didn't you see nearly thirty people in the front hall surrounding a fire. I think that in their place, firewood and grass are not just usable. ”
"No, you're seriously injured and still feverish, so you can't be sloppy, at least let you drink clean hot water. We managed to escape, if you lose your life because of such a thing, do you think it's worth it? ”
Qin Yining trembled uncontrollably, and even the tips of his fingers were so cold that he couldn't help but clench into fists.
Lu Heng saw that she was getting weaker and weaker, and hurriedly went out to communicate with Harbara and Chaganbala.
When the two of them heard that Qin Yining had been whipped by Anari, they both shook their heads sadly, "We don't have any medicine here, the men of our clan have been killed, the old and weak women and children make cows and horses for the female devil, and they will be beaten at every turn*, and many people have died of fever caused by wound infection...... I'll find a way to get you some firewood, you can use it first, but we don't have a doctor here, and we can't afford to hire a doctor. ”
The faces of the two teenagers were wrinkled for a while.
"It would be nice to be able to give her some hot water. Besides, we killed the female khan, and there are pursuers searching outside, so we don't dare to ask the doctor to attract attention. Lu Heng said.
The two teenagers nodded, helped to carry firewood and grass, went to the back room to make a fire, and set up a worn-out clay pot to boil water.
Qin Yining was already in a semi-comatose state at this time, so he curled up in the corner and tried to shrink himself into a ball.
Lu Heng took advantage of the firelight to see the cold sweat on her forehead, her abnormally flushed face and her pale lips, he was anxious for a while, and he didn't care about any men and women, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover her forehead and probed her body temperature.
It's hot!
The injuries on Qin Yining's body were all hastily bandaged by herself, the medicine must not be good, and the wounds actually really need to be cleaned up and re-medicated.
Thinking of this, Lu Heng went out again to ask for help, fortunately, the people here are all old and weak women and children, and there are several grandmothers who have experience in dealing with wounds, and they are also willing to help.
Lu Heng hid outside and asked the old women to help Qin Yining clean up his wounds and reapply the medicine.
Halbara leaned over Lu Heng and whispered: "I thought you were a couple with that fairy-like woman, I can see that you care about her very much, why don't you take this opportunity to take good care of her?" It will also nurture feelings and make her appreciate you. ”
Lu Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "You don't know, she is already married." This time, he was captured by Anari and Siqin. Although I have an interest in her, she is noble and loyal to her husband, and I do not want to take advantage of others, let alone force her. If I had stayed to take care of her today, she would have been grateful to me, but she would have distanced herself from me. ”
Chaganbala smiled when he heard this, "There are so many rules where you are. If this is left in our Minobu, the girls and warriors who like it can take the initiative to pursue, and if the two people are not in harmony together, they can also apply for separation from the patriarch, and after separation, everyone will be free and can go to find others. Where are you women, I heard that they all commit suicide when they are touched? ”
"That's not that serious, ordinary people's families have women who show up for their livelihood, and we have just come out of the war and haven't been stable for two years. Those noble rules can only be used by those noble people, such as us ordinary people cannot be constrained by this. But we're thinking more about morality. ”
"Morality, indeed, only those of us who are bitter at the bottom will have this thought, a noble person, like a female khan, never considers morality or immorality in doing things, he only thinks about whether he is comfortable or not."
"Luckily, the female demon is dead."
"yes. Thanks to the two of you. ”
Lu Heng and the Chaganbala brothers looked at each other and smiled.
Qin Yining tossed for most of the night, and in the early morning of the next day, the heat gradually subsided.
Seeing this, Lu Heng could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In the following days, they hid in the house of the Minobu, and martial law was imposed on the street, and they did not dare to move around at will, so they could only inquire about some outside news step by step.
At this time, in the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xiao Xiao looked at the note in his hand, and his whole body began to tremble.
"Alive, she's alive! Did you see it, she's still alive! ”
