Chapter 16: The Human Heart
Chapter 16: The Human Heart
Yang Fang carried Wang Xiaochuan on his shoulders and left the woods. Due to the serious injury and Wang Xiaochuan's unconsciousness, Yang Fang's movement speed was not fast, leaving a bloody footprint on the ground with every step, and soon after, Yang Fang saw the horse he was riding, quietly eating the grass on the ground not far ahead.
"Good horses. Yang Fang walked to the horse and put Wang Xiaochuan on it, and began to return to Huai'an County on horseback, along the way he saw countless fields full of crops destroyed by the demon python, and he suddenly had an illusion in his heart that he had made a big mistake.
"Your Excellency, are you alright, have you killed the monster?"
"Monster to ambush, you quickly carry this brother back, hurry to the doctor. Yang Fang put Wang Xiaochuan, who was already a blood man, off his horse and brought back by the surviving servants.
"Send some people to the woods ten miles away to burn the body of the demon python, and count the casualties for me... Yang Fang looked at the bloodied battlefield with a bloody face.
"Oh, so many people have died, how dare we go to the river to wash clothes in the future, this is really unlucky. ”
"But isn't it, I heard that less than half of the people who went out of a thousand people came back, and the scene was extremely miserable, and there was blood everywhere on the shore, broken hands and feet, and so on. ”
"Ouch, it's so terrifying... ”
"Fortunately, I dragged my man to prevent him from going. ”
"How can you say that Lord Yang is like this, knowing that the monster in the river can't be provoked, he still insists on going his own way. ”
The remnants of the procession entered the city, and they were greeted not by flowers and applause, but by one after another. Hearing these voices, the "remnants of the defeated army" slowly lowered their heads. Yang Fang could hear and see all this, and he began to doubt himself in his heart, if Wang Xiaochuan hadn't sacrificed himself to lure away the demon python, they could only let the demon python kill outside the city, let alone kill it. Maybe it was really because he was young and vigorous that he made a very wrong decision.
Lu Su followed the team to take care of the wounded, she also saw all this, although she had not seen the demon python on the battlefield, but listening to the description of the wounded, she could also know that this demon python was definitely not an ordinary monster, and the harm of continuing to let it entrench in the river would only get bigger and bigger, and it was already very remarkable to be able to kill the demon python at such a small price. She wanted to open her mouth to say two words of defense, but she still couldn't say the words to her lips, after all, people's hearts are the most difficult to understand.
"Ahem, everyone go out and find me a doctor! If you can't find you, don't come back!" Yang Fang sat beside Wang Xiaochuan and clutched his chest wrapped in bandages and shouted. After Wang Xiaochuan was carried back to the palace, he had been lying in bed for three days, although he immediately found all the doctors in the city, but all the doctors said that they could not do anything. They say that people are fine, and their breathing is normal, but they can't wake up.
"Could it have anything to do with the pills I gave him... Thinking of the strange appearance on Wang Xiaochuan's body when he killed the demon python before, Yang Fang had to wonder if he had harmed him.
"My lord, my lord?" Just when Yang Fang was still immersed in his own conjecture, a voice behind him pulled his thoughts back.
"Oh, Elder Fang, what's the matter?" Yang Fang turned his head and the old man with a goatee was respectfully saluting him.
"My lord, didn't you put up a notice when you were crusading against the demon python in the river, there are only two names on the old list. One of them is the king who is lying in front of you, and the other I have brought for you. "The old man is the person who named Wang Xiaochuan and Lu Su that day.
"Oh, please come in. Yang Fang put on his clothes to cover his injuries, got up and walked to the door to prepare to greet him.
"Come, Miss Lu, come in. Elder Fang walked out of the door and introduced Lu Su into the door.
"Lu Su, I've seen Lord Yang. Lu Su saluted Yang Fang.
"Hey, you don't need to call me an adult, just call me Lao Yang, Miss Lu, I heard Elder Fang say, you saved the lives of more than 100 of our wounded alone. Without you, we don't know how to hurt people. Yang kneels down here to thank you!" Yang Fang said, picked up his robe and wanted to kneel down.
"My lord!" Fang Lao on the side let out an exclamation.
"Lord Yang! Lord Yang, please get up, Lu Su can't afford such a big gift. Lu Su stretched out her hand to support Yang Fang when Yang Fang was about to kneel, but Yang Fang insisted on kneeling, and she used a little spell to make him unable to kneel.
Yang Fang found that his knees were held up by an invisible force, making him unable to kneel. He looked up at the girl in front of him in shock, and Lu Su smiled slightly and helped Yang Fang up.
"Since Miss Lu is a doctor, she has a lot of knowledge about incurable diseases. Yang Fang was shocked by Lu Su for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, like Lu Su hugged his fist and asked.
"What kind of miscellaneous disease?" Lu Su asked curiously.
"Lord Yang, if there is nothing to do with the old man, the old man will retire first, and there will be a pension to be busy in the future. Elder Fang saw Yang Fang wave at him and retreated and left.
"Girl, please come and see, my brother has been asleep for some reason, and I have searched for the doctor in this city. Yang Fang said as he brought Lu Su to the bedside.
"Wang Xiaochuan!" Lu Su came to the side of the bed and looked at Wang Xiaochuan who was lying motionless on the bed with his eyes closed.
"Girl, do you know Brother Wang?" Yang looked at Lu Su suspiciously.
"Recognize. . . Lu Su lowered his head and said like a mosquito, Wang Xiaochuan, who was lying on the bed at the moment, had a clean face, sharp facial features, and red hair gave him a unique charm, which was like two people before. She also recognized him with her red hair, and their nerves were tense all the time when they were being hunted down, and she knew how dirty their faces were. Now she remembered that this was the first time she had really seen Wang Xiaochuan's face, but why did she blurt it out like this. Lu Su, who couldn't figure it out, felt that her ears were starting to heat up, and she was anxious and hurriedly grabbed her ears with her hands
"Miss Lu?" Because Lu Su's ears were blocked by his long hair, Yang Fang didn't know what was going on, so he could only look at her with a blinded expression.
"Ahem, it's okay, I'll take a look. Lu Su, who knew that he was out of shape, hurriedly calmed down his mood, sat on the edge of the bed, put his finger on Wang Xiaochuan's hand, closed his eyes and took the pulse seriously.
Yang Fang saw that Lu Su was helping Wang Xiaochuan to take the pulse, his heart became nervous, and when Lu Su stopped him from kneeling, he decided that this girl was definitely not an ordinary person! And she also knew that Wang Xiaochuan might really be cured, if he couldn't cure it, he could only say that Wang Xiaochuan took it to his master, and when he thought of his master's punishment, Yang Fang's palms were sweating with fright.
Lu Su's two eyebrows were tightly twisted at the moment, and what the doctors said was right. Wang Xiaochuan's body is fine, and his physical fitness is even hundreds of times stronger than ordinary people, but why can't he wake up.
"What did he go through?" Lu Su asked, putting Wang Xiaochuan's hand under the quilt.
"Ahh I gave him a pill. I swear, I'll eat the one that isn't poisonous." When Lu Su asked him a question, Yang Fang lowered his head like a child who made a mistake.
"Then how did he become like this?" Lu Su continued to ask as he stared at Yang Fang's eyes with a calm expression.
"Okay, okay, I said!" Yang Fang was stared at by Lu Su and was furious, and told the story completely, just like that, Lu Su still thought that he had something to hide, and forced Yang Fang to swear again that he didn't hide it at all, and when it came to this, Yang Fang felt that Lu Su didn't just know Wang Xiaochuan.
"Girl, don't be angry, wait until the day after tomorrow, no! Tomorrow I will take Brother Wang to my master, he must have a way, my master is a member of the sect. When he said the last sentence, Yang Fang lowered his voice.
"Your master, can you believe it?" Lu Su didn't seem to hear Yang Fang's last words.
"Don't worry, I vouch for my personality, it's absolutely fine!" Yang Fang patted his chest and said.
"Oh no, there are a bunch of people out there asking for an explanation. As soon as Yang Fang's words fell, a servant rushed in.
"Say as you go!" What happened?" After speaking, Yang Fang hurriedly ran out with the servant. "Squeak", Lu Su closed the door and walked towards the door of the mansion.
"Give me back my crops!"
"Give me back the field!"
Yang Fang came to the door of the government office, and in front of him was a group of emotional people, if there was no official at the door to stop him, I am afraid that he would have rushed in.
"Everybody's calm, calm. If the crops are gone, they can be planted again, but if the people are gone, there will be nothing, and the fields will not be affected. Elder Fang kept persuading in front of the crowd.
"What you said is light, my family of several people lives on this crop, and now that the crops are gone, how can we live!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Also, do you dare to plant the fields that have just died, and do you dare to eat the crops that have been planted!"
"Yes, do you dare to eat the crops grown by the dead!" For a while, the crowd was furious, and some people even began to throw things at Fang Lao, and the official saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help Fang Lao back.
"Elder Fang, you guys quickly help Elder Fang back to rest!" Yang Fang stepped forward and said to the two servants in front of him. Looking at the people in front of him, he probably understood what was going on. Yang Fang sighed and slowly walked to the crowd, clasped his hands into fists towards the crowd, raised his head and was about to speak.
"Dog officer!" "snapped" an egg thrown in his face.
"My lord, what are you going to do!" The official next to him was about to draw his sword, but was stopped by Yang Fang.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time it was my fault, I betrayed the trust that the soldiers placed in me, let their parents send white-haired people to black-haired people, shattered countless homes that should have been happy, and ruined your hard work. I, Yang Fang, am guilty, and I deserve to die!" Yang Fang knelt down in front of the crowd with tears in his eyes and kowtowed heavily.
After seeing Yang Fang kneeling down, the originally angry crowd suddenly quieted down.
"Don't pretend! The cat is crying! We want to compensate!
"Right! Compensate us!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, I will give all of you the compensation you deserve, will you be okay tomorrow? You come over tomorrow, and I will arrange for someone. Yang Fang got up and said to the crowd with a dirty face.
"Then let's go! tomorrow is coming!" the crowd began to disperse, Yang Fang stood still and didn't know what he was thinking, and the officials around him were all calling him.
Lu Su stood at the door and watched this scene quietly.
