Chapter 345: After the Darkness, There Is Light
Zhang Cheng has Wei Yun's enlightenment and has slowly come out of his self-blame, he is used to the cruelty of war, but the death of his brother still makes him miserable.
Buried deep in his heart, Zhang Cheng stood up and bowed to his brother's grave, he could come out of the shadows, but it didn't mean that he could forgive himself.
Wei Yun saw that Zhang Cheng had cheered up, and he didn't say anything, leaving this place to Zhang Cheng and the ruffian Qu brothers who died in battle, Zhang Cheng must have something to say to them.
After Wei Yun left, Zhang Cheng, who was already drunk, regained his previous ability, staring at the graves of his brothers, he couldn't speak for a long time.
"I can still be brothers in the next life, I will still be your eldest brother, we will still fight together, fight together, and drink together! As a big brother in this life, I can't live with you, and I will repay you one by one in the next life, you can go with confidence, I will help take care of the family, there is a resolute farm and ranch, I will not let your family suffer, let me give them a pension in the future!"
"When we got there, we met our old brothers and told them that we were good, and now we have new hopes, more companions, more brothers, and a good general!"
"When I die, we will drink three hundred cups together, the love of a lifetime, and we will still be brothers in the next life! When Ling Yi wakes up, we will leave, there is no condition now, and when we are all stable, I will take you back to Bingzhou and reunite you with your family!"
Zhang Cheng left the hillside where Brother Ruffian Qu was buried, his gaze more determined and murderous than in the morning.
By the time Ling Yi woke up, he didn't know how long he had been in a coma, and during the coma, he dreamed that he had returned to his childhood, dreaming of his grandfather, his parents, and his sister, as well as Wu Qing and Xiaokui's siblings.
In the dream, he once again experienced everything he experienced when he was four years old, the escape, the departure of his mother, the bad news of his grandfather and father, the death of Yue'er's sister and Xiaokui, and of course, the scene where his sister personally cut off his wrist in order to protect her, which made him extremely painful, but he couldn't wake up no matter how he struggled in his sleep, repeating everything he had experienced over and over again.
In the end, in the darkness he had no direction, he was lost in the endless darkness, and no matter how much he groped, he could not touch the edge of the darkness.
Fear, boundless fear, cold, bone-piercing cold over the whole body, loneliness, helpless loneliness in the mind.
"Sister!"
"Mom!"
"Father!"
"Grandpa!"
Ling Yi screamed, but no one answered him.
"Lingyi...... Lingyi ......"
Just as Ling Yi was curled up in the corner, an ethereal voice sounded in his ears, as if it was very close, but it was far away!
"Who? who's there?" Ling Yi struggled to push away the darkness, but the dark space didn't change in the slightest.
"Lingyi...... Lingyi ......"
The voice calling for Ling Yi continued, and under this call, Ling Yi became calm, and asked softly, "Who are you?
But there was no answer, and the voice kept calling: "Lingyi...... Lingyi ......"
The more he listened to Ling Yi, the more familiar he felt, and after not knowing how many times he was called, Ling Yi finally heard clearly who the person who called him was: "Wanxi, is it you?"
Ling Yi listened to the voice calling him, excited, was Wanxi coming to find him?
"Wanxi, where are you?"
But it was the call that responded to Lingyi: "Lingyi...... Lingyi ......"
I don't know how long it lasted, but Ling Yi still didn't touch the edge of darkness, as if everything in the world had disappeared, leaving only endless darkness.
"Lingyi...... My sister is back......"
As Ling Yi continued to explore, the voice that had just called Ling Yi changed again, and he said something that made Ling Yi excited.
"Sister is back, where is she, is she okay?" Ling Yi struggled even more violently.
"Sister is back......" did not answer Ling Yi's words, and the voice before was still repeating.
"Sister, where are you?" Ling Yi's emotions became more and more excited!
Under Ling Yi's infinite struggle, a crack suddenly appeared in the boundless darkness, and Ling Yi seemed to see Wanxi through the crack, and also saw his sister, and also saw his mother, and even saw his father and grandfather!
"Ah......h
The light recovered, and the pain in his whole body suddenly swept over Ling Yi's consciousness, and he endured it tenaciously, Ling Yi wanted to raise his hand to block the dazzling light, but his hands were weak and he couldn't lift it at all.
At this moment, an excited voice sounded in my ears: "Ah...... My brother is awake!"
"Ah, Uncle is awake!" another childish and excited voice sounded in his ears.
The first voice Ling Yi knew was Ah Hai's shouting, and the second voice was the voice of his little nephew Yan Zijin!
Then there were bursts of hurried footsteps, from far and near, and many inquiring voices: "Are you really awake?"
"Is Ling Yi okay?"
......
These are the voices of his brothers, partners, and friends, Ling Yi gradually regained his eyesight, seeing the crowd around him, looking at their excited, excited, and relieved expressions, Ling Yi said softly: "You are all around me, I can't breathe!"
"It's still a joke, it seems that I've really recovered!" Yan Jingfei helped Yan Chunxi, saw that Ling Yi was already awake, and quipped.
"Hahaha......" The words made everyone who had been worried about Ling Yi for so long laugh!
Hao Jun stepped forward to check Lingyi's pulse, and finally said reassuringly: "It's not a big deal, as long as you have a good rest and slowly recuperate, you can recover, this time Lingyi is too seriously injured, and the consumption is too huge." Fortunately, his self-healing ability is extremely strong, and he can recover as long as he is pranayama for a period of time!"
"That's good, that's good!" everyone relaxed.
"Boy, you're very good, recover quickly, and have a good fight with me, you can actually make the martial saint seriously injured, there must be a lot of secret hole cards, let me try it too!"
This was said by Yan Jingfei, and the eighteen horsemen of Yan Yun beside him also looked at Ling Yi expectantly, as if they couldn't wait, and they were going to do it with Ling Yi now.
"Is there such a brother-in-law as you?" Yan Chunxi pushed Yan Jingfei out of Ling Yi's room with a palm, and said to everyone: "Let's all go out, let Ling Yi rest for a while, he has just woken up, and his spirit needs to recover quietly and slowly!"
"Rest well!" everyone exited the room!
Yan Chunxi said to Ling Yi: "You rest for a while, I'll cook you some rice porridge!"
"Thank you, sister!" Ling Yi said softly.
"I'm going to help too!" The kid jumped up and walked out with Yan Chunxi!
"Thank you, boy, too!"
"Taking care of my uncle is what Zijin should do!hehehe!" The kid followed Yan Chunxi out of Ling Yi's room.
Now only the three Sun Ze brothers are left in the room, and they are just about to get up, but they are stopped by Ling Yi: "Big brother, you wait a minute!"
Sun Ze and the three stayed in Ling Yi's room, and Sun Ze asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Ling Yi struggled to sit up and asked weakly, "How many people did the ruffian lose this time?"
In the face of such a powerful enemy, Ling Yi didn't have much expectations, just now, he didn't see Zhang Cheng's figure, nor did he see Wei Yun.
"There are still casualties in the riffraff this time!" Sun Ze replied, Ling Yi would know sooner or later, since he asked now, Sun Ze didn't plan to hide it!
"Are there many casualties?" Ling Yi asked nervously, what he was most worried about now was the casualties of the riffraff.
This is the first battle of the riffraff, a bad one, not only will it suffer heavy losses, but it will also cause too much psychological trauma to the surviving brothers, he doesn't have to worry too much about the veterans, those recruits need to pay special attention.
"All the ruffians were injured, and four hundred and thirty-six of them were seriously injured!"
Listening to Sun Ze's introduction, Ling Yi was also secretly surprised: "Why are so many people seriously injured, what about the sacrifice?"
Hearing the number of seriously injured people, Ling Yi was taken aback, but these people did not sacrifice, as long as they recuperate well, there should still be a chance to recover, and now what he wants to determine is how many brothers have been sacrificed.
"Uh, this ......" Sun Ze hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
"Big brother, just say it directly, I'm fine!" Ling Yi persuaded Sun Ze instead!
"Alas, this time we lost a total of eighteen brothers, four of whom are veterans!" Sun Ze said in a depressed mood, these people were all trained by him, and their feelings were extremely deep!
"Alas, we have sacrificed so many brothers, but in the face of so many enemies, or tigers and wolves, our losses are small!" Ling Yi also felt uncomfortable.
If it had been replaced by other troops, the whole army might have been wiped out a long time ago, and now the ruffian song has won the victory with just such a small loss, and it is already a legendary existence!
But sacrificing his brother who gets along day and night, Ling Yi still feels sad in his heart, think about it, a few days ago, everyone was still drinking and eating meat together, and now they are separated forever, which makes Ling Yi really uncomfortable.
"Go back to Bingzhou to settle down the families of these brothers, give them more pensions, if they are still willing to stay on the farm or pasture, take care of them more, if they don't want to stay, just find them a good place to go!
Sun Ze listened to Ling Yi's explanation and said, "You don't have to worry too much about these, I will arrange it well, just rest assured!"
"Why didn't Zhang Cheng and Cousin Wei Yun see them just now?" Ling Yi asked.
Hao Jun replied: "Zhang Cheng has been blaming himself a few days ago, borrowing alcohol all day long to kill his sorrows, he was relieved by Wei Yun a few days ago, but he recovered, these days they have been taking care of those injured recruits and enlightening them, Wei Yun has also set up a special guidance class, and now the two of them may be guiding those recruits!"
"Well, that's fine, at least you can relax everyone's spirits and let Zhang Cheng come to me after he finishes!" Ling Yi also agreed with Wei Yun and Zhang Cheng's approach!
"I'll inform them when they're done in a while!" Hao Jun nodded in agreement.
Ling Yi then explained: "Use the best medicine to heal the brothers' injuries as soon as possible, if you can't do it, just use some pills, and then there will be a big battle waiting for us!"
Hao Jun nodded: "Don't worry about this, I'm here, no problem!"
