12 Chapter 12 Scraping the Bones to Cure Poison
The night was already dark, but I didn't care about these and rushed out of the main hall, and saw that the chariots and horses of the princes and nobles were parked not far away outside the Taiwei's mansion. The closest to me is a horse that is a wonderful horse, and this rare good horse is actually used to pull a cart?
"What are you going to do?"
The coachman, who was squatting on the side, saw that I was menacing, and stood up to stop me.
"Borrow a horse!"
As soon as I spoke, I immediately pushed him away with a palm. With this push, I jumped on the horse's back, stooped down and cut the reins, clamped my legs, and with a long neigh, โกโกI spread my hooves and rushed out, as if flying.
"Drive!"
There was the sound of horses' hooves behind me, and I turned my head to see that Wei Jue, who was dressed in plain clothes, also rushed out on a healthy horse at some point, and the speed was equally fast, following closely behind me.
"Wuxi, can you not be so willful?" Wei Jue's voice came: "Wang Yan has already agreed to send troops, what are you doing here?" โ
Where can I listen to him? But his hands were not very obedient, and he gently strangled the horse's head, forcing Hua to slow down. Wei Jue chased after me and looked at me, I thought he would dissuade me from going back, but he didn't say anything more, and galloped out of the city gate side by side with me.
โฆโฆ
We galloped all the way to the southeast, and our hearts were full of gratitude to Wei Jue. He knew I was in a hurry, so he made his way through the state, resting only when the horses couldn't hold on anymore. The man did not fit his eyes, the horse did not unsaddle, and after only one day and night we arrived in the territory of Xiakou.
Since the Han Dynasty, there is Xiakou City here, the Three Kingdoms period is a strategic point, hundreds of years of operation, the city has a large population, and the villages outside the city are all over the place, which is extremely prosperous.
However, along the way, we only saw pieces of ruins, the villages where chickens and dogs used to smell each other had long been in ruins, and the original large fields had been trampled and burned, except for the bones that could be seen everywhere, there was not half a living person.
I couldn't bear to witness the tragic situation, and I was even more worried about my father's safety, so I hurriedly stepped up and finally came to Xiakou City half a day later.
If what you see is mourning all over the wilderness, this Xiakou City can be said to be hell on earth.
"Wuxi, General Shan is a general's talent, he has not tasted defeat on the battlefield, how can tens of thousands of homeless people be his opponents? Don't worry too much! Wei Jue was silent all the way, and when he saw that my face had changed, he finally couldn't help but speak.
"If it's not your father, of course you won't worry!" I now hated his calmness so much that I ignored him and jumped off the horse.
It seems that a vicious battle has just been fought here, and hundreds of kilometers outside the city are full of bloody corpses, there are soldiers in armor with knives and guns, and there are homeless people with hoes and sickles in their hands, and they may have been fighting each other a moment ago, but now they can only lie quietly together, their blood has long since dried up, mixed in the same soil, and exudes a strong fishy smell.
I searched all the way, thinking all the way, my steps became heavier and heavier, and I kept repeating a sentence in my heart: "Daddy is still alive, he must still be alive!" โ
"Dance, look!" Wei Jue galloped over and yelled at me, "Look up......"
When I heard this, I suddenly looked up at Xiakou City, and what caught my eye was a banner of the Great Jin Dynasty fluttering in the wind, and my father's handsome flag with the word "mountain" was also standing aside.
"Father is fine!"
I shouted and looked back at Wei Jue, at this time the tense nerves finally relaxed, but the strength of the whole body seemed to be withdrawn in an instant, and the feet were unstable and cold, and they were about to fall.
Wei Jue's eyes were fast, and at the moment of the jump, a fish leap caught me steadily, and he didn't say anything to me, just gently helped me back on the horse's back, led the two horses, and carefully walked around the corpses all over the ground, and walked towards the closed city gate of Xiakou.
The city gate slowly opened, and the general who guarded the city naturally recognized me, welcomed me in with a solemn face, and closed the city gate again.
"What about my father?" I asked him.
He glanced at me and Wei Jue and said, "The battle is stalemate, and there is no time to clean up the corpses of the brothers outside the city, those homeless rebels have just retreated, but they will definitely come back again in an hour, miss, you shouldn't come here......"
"I'm asking about my father? Where is he? I interrupted him and waited for him to answer.
"My lord was hit by an arrow in his right arm, and the arrow was poisonous, and those doctors in the city were trying to find a way to detoxify it, Miss ......"
"Drive!" Before the general could finish speaking, I urged my horse to go straight to the city lord's mansion.
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he flew off his horse and rushed straight into the mansion. The guards saw that I was walking fast, and they all trotted all the way to show me the way, and soon came to my father's house.
Pushing the door in, a strong smell of medicine greeted him, the room was crowded, and several old men who looked like doctors were whispering around a copper basin, which was half a basin of black and purple blood, apparently flowing from his father's wound.
"Daddy!"
My voice trembled, and I threw myself in front of the bed, and my father was half-leaning on the bed, his whole arm swollen as if he had been blown out. His face was even worse, his lips were blue, his cheeks were white, his brows were furrowed, and he was obviously acknowledging great pain.
Hearing my call, my father slowly opened his blood-red eyes, tried his best to control himself, and whispered, "Why are you here?" Why don't you stay by Wei Jue's side, you ......"
As he spoke, his Adam's apple shook and he lay on the edge of the bed and spit out a mouthful of black blood.
I hurriedly helped him up, and as soon as my heart ached, tears began to drip down like beads of broken thread, and I turned to the doctors and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze? Why didn't you save him? โ
At this time, a bold doctor looked at me and thought for a while before he spoke: "Miss, it's not that we don't save it, I really don't know what kind of poison is in the adults, and we don't dare to prescribe indiscriminately for a while, if we use the wrong medicine, it will only harm the adults!" โ
"Then you just watched General Shan suffer and die of poison in the end?" Wei Jue's voice rang out, and he walked quickly into the room and came to my side.
After carefully examining my father's arm, he raised his head and said to me calmly: "I also know a lot about medicine, but I don't know how to cure this poison?" But looking at this situation, it must not be delayed any longer, Wuxi, since it is a poisonous arrow into the bone, the former martial saint Guan Yunchang scraped the bones to cure the poison and healed, now we might as well give it a try! โ
"Scraping bones to cure poison?"
When I heard him say this, my heart trembled, how can ordinary people bear this scraping of bones?
"Wuxi, trust me, this is the only way!" Wei Jue's firm eyes made me feel a lot more at ease.
I looked at my father again, and finally made up my mind, and said to the doctors, "You have tools to cut rotten flesh and abscesses, and lend me one of them!" โ
As soon as I finished speaking, I didn't think that all the doctors retreated to the door, their faces were pale, and they answered the question: "Miss, we have never scraped our bones, and we really don't have this means!" If the young lady really wants to do this, the consequences will be unimaginable! โ
"Let me do it!" Wei Jue didn't know where to take out a small wooden box, which contained dozens of neatly arranged silver needles and three small sharp short knives.
Seeing this, the soldiers on the side immediately ran out, and after a few breaths, they brought a large jar of wine and poured it under the copper basin, and set up firewood below to burn it.
I will never be soft when I go into battle to kill the enemy, but at this moment, I can't help but tremble in the face of my father's pain.
Wei Jue saw my discomfort, held my hand, and looked calm: "Wuxi, you are also tired for a day and a night, go and rest for a while, God bless the good people, General Shan will definitely be able to save the day!" โ
