Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 62 Kindness is not reciprocated
When he suddenly felt a gust of evil wind overhead, Gu Xuan, who was still lying on the ground, knew that it was not good, and he didn't care about the sharp pain of being penetrated by the feather arrow on his shoulder, so he quickly turned over and dodged to the side, but after all, the enemy came galloping on horseback, and this time he was ruthless, and with the momentum of rushing forward, the force was too great, the speed was too fast, and Gu Xuan reacted quickly, and he still suffered this knife firmly on his back.
The blade slashed through the muscles, and streams of blood spurted out as if they didn't want money, Gu Xuan couldn't help but snort, and then fell to the ground of the house next to the street, bursts of intense pain hit from the three wounds, and the world in front of him began to blacken and spin, and the consciousness of the whole person was already blurred.
The luck in the misfortune is that Jinglong behind is pressing, and it is a bad face, the two horse bandits just escaped death, looking back, frightened, where do you dare to go down again to check the matter of mending the knife, quickly drove the horse away, Jinglong did not dare to take advantage of the victory to pursue, to Gu Xuan's side, hurriedly strangled the reins, the horse was pulled up all high, Jinglong directly released the reins, and fell back to the ground all of a sudden, not caring about anything else, quickly turned over, and crawled in front of Gu Xuan, and began to check his situation。
Gu Xuan, who was still lying on the ground, heard the movement, reluctantly opened his eyes, and looked vaguely like Jinglong, so he let down his guard, let go of the stone he was holding in his hand, and sighed in a very helpless tone: "It seems that I have to find the second brother to ask for a set of dragon scale armor." ”
The sharp pain from the wound almost made him faint, and the humiliation he had suffered since childhood was actually not worth mentioning compared to the physical pain now, and it was only at this moment that he really realized the danger of this trip, and the trace of contempt and joy after leaving the capital was suddenly gone.
Unexpectedly, a group of down-and-out horse bandits who had always been regarded as a bag before could almost kill themselves, just in response to the words of the second brother, the lion fights the rabbit, and he also does his best, and the contempt for the enemy is disrespect for himself.
Gu Xuan closed his eyes and thought, he couldn't be so confident anymore, and he shouldn't take the risk of fighting with them.
Jing Long here was in a hurry, and finally checked the injuries on his body, first dealt with them briefly, and then took off the set of armor used by ordinary soldiers that had been treasured for twenty years, and then picked up Gu Xuan, put it on his back and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.
At this time, the young man from Majia Village also led the rest of the people to come over.
"Benefactor!"
The young man stepped forward first, put down the knife in his hand, lowered his head, knelt down on one knee, and saluted with his fists clenched.
However, the other rescued young men did not do so, but led the remaining women to look around at a loss at a loss at the village that was about to be burned to ruins, the old scene seemed to be still vivid, the voices of the relatives seemed to still echo in their ears, but the smell of burnt smell on the nose pulled them back to reality in an instant, who would have thought that overnight, it would be like this.
"I'm tired of preparing a clean place, and I also need a basin of hot water, which is urgent!"
Jinglong didn't care about this, he had a calm face, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said the most authentic local dialect of Hedong County, Youzhou, a few villagers listened to it, and suddenly woke up, and looked at Jinglong's eyes instantly became a lot more kind, but he was just interrupted from his memories, he was slightly stunned, and saw Gu Xuan on Jinglong's back again, they all saw the battle situation clearly just now, and knew that they were going to deal with the injuries of this young man, so they didn't dare to slack off, so they quickly ran to prepare.
"Benefactor, please come with me. ”
The young man quickly got up and led the way in front, now most of the buildings in the village have been damaged, and the only place that is clean and usable is the ancestral hall in the village.
Ignoring the other women from the same village who were still looking around blankly and tearfully, the young man took the lead and walked towards the ancestral hall.
Once the family was ruined, and the village where generations had lived was burned down, these women who were lucky enough to survive couldn't help but wipe their tears and sobbed in a low voice, but those young men knew that the treatment of wounds could not be delayed too much, and looked at the other party's ability to kill horse bandits and chickens, and then looked at his fierce eyes, they knew that this was a character who was even more fierce than horse bandits, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they all ran to do things.
Jinglong had carefully examined the injuries on Gu Xuan's body, one arrow wound on the shoulder, and two knife wounds, one in the back and one on the arm, but the most serious injuries were not the two knife wounds that seemed to be the most obvious and the most terrifying wounds, but the inconspicuous arrow wounds.
The two knife wounds were because Gu Xuan dodged quickly before, unloading most of the opponent's strength, so these two knives were actually not deep, after simply bandaging, and then applying gold sore medicine, even ordinary people can almost heal after a few weeks, but it was the arrow wound, because it came urgently, and it was a sneak attack from behind, it was not easy to dodge, this arrow even penetrated deep into the shoulder bone, if it was not handled well, it was easy to leave a disability, maybe this hand would be scrapped in the future.
Jinglong's face sank like water, he really wanted to persuade Gongzi not to act recklessly, it was best to go and notify the garrison and then come to delay the time, but Gongzi relied on all kinds of information to deduce that there were other villagers who survived, in order to save them, he couldn't waste time to notify the garrison, if the two acted separately, the danger would only be greater, helpless, he had to accompany Gu Xuan to participate in the sniper, he also understood in advance that there would be danger, but he felt that with his and Gu Xuan's skills, even if he couldn't completely annihilate this group of hateful horse bandits, but he didn't expect this to happen, but he didn't expect this result。
In the cold winter wax moon, if you just rely on bows and arrows to force them away, it is actually okay, but after all, the horse bandits have horses, and they are too mobile, so they can walk away, so Gu Xuan chose to clash with the horse bandits head-on in order to completely annihilate the demons of the village, and even abandoned the method of encircling three and missing one, but chose to fight with this gang of outlaws head-on, this is really a strategy of the next step, but he can't stop the stubbornness of the young man.
But now that this kind of thing has happened, as an escort, he is also to blame.
Jinglong relied on his experience to simply deal with the two knife wounds, did not dare to move the arrow wounds on his shoulders, and turned back to the young man and said: "Please go and inform the nearby garrison and report the situation here, you take this document and go to their general, and ask them to send the best doctor nearby, if it is delayed, let him apologize with death." ”
Everyone in the room listened to his tone, and they were all too frightened to speak, especially those women, who hid to the side in fear, and several young men from Majia Village were also afraid to pick it up, only the young man took the document about the identity of Gu Xuan and the others very calmly, and then solemnly hugged his fists and said: "Okay, benefactor, I'll go immediately!"
This performance made Jinglong can't help but glance at this calm young man, seeing that the other party got up and was about to leave, he immediately reminded again: "The horse bandits still have three fish that have slipped through the net, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not sneak attack you on the road, although the time is not early, but beware of what happens, and my son-in-law's injury cannot be delayed, you pick two people with you, be sure to notify the nearby garrison, everyone else goes out to stand guard, once there is a situation, notify me immediately!"
Standing guard and sentry, and leaving the village at this time to go to the fortress three miles away to find the local garrison in Youzhou, which is a dangerous errand for life, several young and strong faces suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and those women also secretly pulled the sleeves of their men, and carefully signaled them not to move with their eyes.
Jing Long saw that everyone else was still with their heads down, and couldn't help but be angry, Gongzi was so seriously injured in order to save you people, I can't imagine that you are not even willing to do this little errand.
He was so angry that he couldn't help but pull out his knife at once, and the young men were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated, stretched out their hands and stopped in front of the women, while the young man next to him had a helpless look, standing in place with his fists clenched, his mouth opening and opening, not knowing what to do.
Jinglong was so angry that he slashed at the beam next to him, leaving a deep knife mark, and then pointed the knife at the villagers in front of him and angrily reprimanded: "My son-in-law was injured to save you, and this is how you repay us? I can tell you, if my son-in-law has any problems afterwards, you don't want to live!"
Several women were hiding behind their men at this time, and they couldn't help but be a little bolder, and they immediately opened their mouths to shoot back.
"Your son-in-law's life is fate, but our fate is not fate? Those horse bandits don't know if they have gone far, and running out at this time is not to send them to death?"
"The water has been fetched for you, and the place has been made for you, what else do you want?"
"Yes, we are not ungrateful, but at least wait until the sky is bright, and we will not have an accident again, there is still half an hour, why rush?"
"Besides, why don't you run to deliver the message yourself, and we stay here to take care of this son?"
Jing Long's eyes widened angrily, and he had to be excited, the more he cared about Gu Xuan's injury, the more he was so angry by the words of these ignorant women that he almost wanted to go crazy, how could he rest assured that the seriously injured son would stay alone and leave by himself?
"You guys!"
At this moment, Gu Xuan heard the movement, and woke up slowly, his physical fitness was already different from ordinary people, and after the effect of the internal and external medicine he carried, he had eased up a lot, and when he heard the noise in the house, he naturally woke up, and saw that Jinglong was about to make a move, so he hurriedly shouted: "Jinglong!"
Jinglong heard the movement behind him, his body stiffened, and he suddenly came to his senses, quickly put down the knife, turned around and supported Gu Xuan, and said with a concerned face: "Childe, it's okay." ”
Gu Xuan waved his hand gently: "It's okay." ”
He looked at the villagers with complicated eyes in front of him, and knew what was going on, and sighed helplessly, the same thing, Jinglong may be very angry as an outsider, but he has only one helplessness.
A sentence that Gu Cang once said suddenly flashed in his mind, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, rights and responsibilities go hand in hand, even if no one understands you, don't be discouraged, do what you should do, just be worthy of your heart, not every pay, there will be a return, or not every pay, there must be a return at that time.
At this time, the young man could no longer help but speak: "I will go and deliver a letter for my benefactor, and bother the other brothers to guard for my benefactor here!"
After speaking, he directly put away the document in his hand, put it close to his body, and rushed out at once, the young men and women of Majia Village had no time to stop them, so they could only watch the young man step on the stirrup, carefully ride the fast horse outside the house and leave quickly.
Gu Xuan smiled slightly, and fell down again, he knew the young man's intentions, although there might be a fatal obstacle ahead, but he didn't have time to stop the other party, so he could only silently pray for him for safety.
Sometimes you want to protect a thousand people, but in the end there is only one person who sincerely appreciates you, and that is enough.
