Chapter 5: Tanka (9)
Before he could finish a sentence, the old tears were already flowing all over his face. When the third daughter heard this, she hurriedly spoke comfortingly. This said that if the mother-in-law had a spirit in the sky, she would definitely be happy for her father-in-law's safe escape. That said that there is no need for a meeting gift, the whole family is reunited safely, it is really an atmosphere, a cool, a gentle, Chunlan, Xia He, Qiu Ju, competing for beauty, each has its own strengths.
When Shi Chonggui saw it, he didn't feel relieved. He secretly said in his heart: "Although Erbao has suffered a lot over the years, with these three female dolls, he will fall into the honey pot for the rest of his life, even if he is not the emperor." β
When she was happy, she suddenly found that Chang Wanying's face was a little pale, so she smiled, picked up the shelf of being a father-in-law, and said loudly: "Okay, you three good children, you don't have to deliberately make my old man happy." In the future, if there is anything wrong with Erbao, just tell me, I will come to you and you to support you. Especially you, the little baby of the Chang family, I remember that your name is Xiao Yingzi, right! Hurry down and add two clothes, the river is windy, and you have just been tired and sweating, no, your feet, why is there so much blood at your feet!"
At first, there was a little kindness, but later, the voice quickly became trembling. "Ahh I saw a bright red blood trail dripping down the edge of the armor, and in a matter of moments, it had already joined the stream on the deck at my feet.
"Senior sister, are you injured, where are the injuries?" Zheng Ziming was so nervous that his forehead was sweating, and he hurriedly rushed over and held Chang Wanying's arm with one hand.
"No, be careful, your right shoulder is still bleeding!" Chang Wanying smiled at him softly and broke free gently.
She was born a little shy, and in front of so many people and her future father-in-law, she was even more reluctant to be too close to her fiancΓ©. However, as soon as his body moved, all of a sudden, his eyes suddenly darkened, and his legs involuntarily went limp.
Zheng Ziming reacted very quickly, quickly retracted his left arm, and hugged Chang Wanying in his arms. Tao Sanchun and Hu Yanyun also pounced, hurriedly checking the injuries. Everyone looked through it carefully, and only then did they find a simple feather arrow used by the Motashi people under Chang Wanying's cloak. Almost against the back of the scapula, into the shoulder blades, a few inches deeper. Previously, everyone had been busy fighting and saving people, and the cloak made of silk was not very bloody, so they accidentally neglected the past, and no one paid attention to it.
"Quick, prepare a clean cabin, prepare the hemp boiling, prepare the knives. Senior sister just said that she brought all the medicines and knives I usually use!" Zheng Ziming was so anxious that his voice changed tone, he held Chang Wanying with one arm, and strode towards the door of the cabin.
"Go to Sister Huyan's room, Sister Huyan's room is the cleanest!" Tao Sanchun was also so anxious that his eyes were red, and he ran to the head to open the way while shouting.
"Ma boiling, knives, and the things you usually use to save people are all placed in the same box, placed next to Sister Chang's bed. She, she has been keeping it personally, every day, every day, wiping the box several times a day!" Hu Yanyun was so anxious that his face was full of tears, and he choked up and reminded loudly.
Because her father and brother are in enemy countries, she rarely has to hear some rumors. And Chang Wanying not only refused to fall into the well, but put on a posture of an eldest sister and blocked all the open guns and arrows outside the house. Therefore, in Hu Yanyun's heart, he has long regarded Chang Wanying as his own sister, and he really can't wait to treat each other at this moment, so that it is not the other party who is hurt but himself.
"Madame, what's wrong with Madame!"
"Madame's injury doesn't matter!"
"General Zheng, you, save her quickly, you will definitely be able to save her, right?"
"General, if you need any medicinal materials, just say it, we will fight to the death to get the medicine back for you!"
"General, General......"
"Madame, Madame......"
Although the other male generals around him were not as flustered as Tao Sanchun and Hu Yanyun, they were all anxious. They all followed up and asked questions.
"Stop, don't delay the general to save people! General, the general can live and die, flesh and bones!" Tao Sanchun saw that the situation was not good, and shouted loudly, blocking behind Zheng Ziming. Stretching out his arms, he blocked all the male generals from the cabin door, "What are you following around? Who of you can help? Cheer me up and guard the ship." If there is another mistake, everyone will die!"
"This, yes!" The generals were stunned, but finally regained some composure, agreed, turned around and ran back to all parts of the deck, performing their duties and strictly guarding their posts.
"Ziming, at this juncture, don't mess with your heart!" Tao Dachun turned his head, ready to explain a few words to Zheng Ziming, and then go to control the entire battleship. saw Zheng Ziming staggering to a warehouse on the left, and the red blood stains flowed down the shoulder blades, mixed with the blood dripping from Chang Wanying's body.
"Ziming!" he was so anxious that his hair stood on end, and he wanted to rush forward to help. was pushed out of the cabin by his own sister-in-law, Tao Sanchun, "Go, you are responsible for managing the warship and letting people drive the ship more steadily." Leave the rest to us. β
Tao Dachun nodded vigorously at his sister-in-law and turned to the side. As he walked, he prayed silently in his heart: "Ziming, you have to be steady." At this juncture, you must not mess around. Only if you stabilize yourself first, can you save your wife! Ziming, you, you can live and die with flesh and bones, this is what we have seen with our own eyes. β
"Bah!" the door of the cabin closed behind him, completely separating the inside and outside of the cabin into two worlds.
"Whew!" Zheng Ziming's legs weakened and he knelt on one knee beside the bed. However, his left arm firmly supported Chang Wanying's body, and together with Hu Yanyun, he carefully put Chang Wanying on the bed.
Tao Sanchun led seven or eight female soldiers, trotting to carry boxes containing tools, spirits, and snow-white cotton cloth. Then he panicked and went to prepare hot water and hemp boiling. Hu Yanyun personally pushed open the window, letting the sunlight shine in, illuminating the entire sleeping cabin extremely brightly.
"Brother Zheng, you must be calm. Raising her hand and wiping her eyes, she whispered and begged, "Sister Chang is only a fatal wound to the arrow in her left shoulder blade, you have to calm down, she is still waiting for you to save her." β
"I know!" Zheng Ziming washed his left hand with strong wine, and picked up the scissors tremblingly, preparing to cut the shaft of the wolf's tooth arrow against the flesh. However, I don't know if it was because of excessive blood loss, or if his left hand was far less spiritual than his right, he tried three times in succession, but he never succeeded.
"I'm coming!" Tao Sanchun suddenly rushed in, grabbed the scissors, clicked, and cut the arrow shaft in two against his clothes. Then while continuing to use scissors to cut the blood-stained leather armor on Chang Wanying's shoulders and back, he gasped and reported: "I washed my hands with strong wine just now, rinsed my mouth, and wiped my face and arms. You say, if I move, I don't believe that Lord Yama dares not to give face to the old lady!"
"Hold her tight and let her sit up!" Zheng Ziming took a deep breath and nodded. Then he picked up a sharp short knife with one hand.
Hu Yanyun is right, he must be calm at this moment, otherwise, the little junior sister will not be able to save him. If he encounters any danger in the future, the little junior sister will not come again. If he comes up with any outlandish ideas in the future, there will be no one to fool around with him patiently. He, the various compensation he was prepared in his heart, will never have a chance to be fulfilled. He, he will never have the opportunity to explain his true thoughts clearly. He will live forever in guilt and never forgive himself, ever!
Tao Sanchun hugged Chang Wanying with both hands, put the other party's head on his shoulder, and formed a solid triangle facing each other. Zheng Ziming took deep breaths again and again, forcing himself to calm down. Picked up the cotton cloth, dipped it in clean spirits, and began to scrub Chang Wanying's wounds.
The strong smell of wine made him cry. In the hazy eyes of tears, he seemed to see a pale green shadow again, blocking in front of Hu Yancong, who was holding a sharp blade, and opened his arms to protect himself firmly behind him.
"Hu Yancong, do you want to be shameless?"
"Shi Xiaobao, is it really you?"
"Shi Xiaobao, don't be afraid, I'm here! My father is Changsi, they don't dare to do anything to me!"
"Shi Xiaobao, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you!"
"Shi Xiaobao, are you really Shi Xiaobao?"
"Senior brother, if you don't want to remember the past, just forget it!
"Senior Brother......
A sharp stabbing pain welled up in his heart, and the pain was so painful that he could barely breathe properly.
He found himself to be so despicable and shameless. took so much from Chang Wanying, but never gave anything in return.
He found that he had long been accustomed to the selfless dedication of the other party, just like he was accustomed to the water and air in his life. It wasn't until I was about to lose that I realized that I couldn't survive a day without each other!
"Senior brother......" A soft call suddenly sounded on Tao Sanchun's shoulder. With a little pain, a little attachment.
Zheng Ziming was taken aback again, not sure if he was hallucinating. Dropping the cotton cloth dyed red by the spirits, he stood up, walked around Tao Sanchun's back, knelt down, and gently held Chang Wanying's head with one hand, as if holding a rare treasure.
"Senior brother, I'm going to die, am I?" It's not an auditory hallucination, Chang Wanying is really awake! She smiled softly and asked in a low voice, just like asking if the flowers outside were in full bloom, and whether the sky was cloudy or clear.
"No, you won't, never!" Zheng Ziming shook his head vigorously, tears raining down. "With me, you never. The hemp boils for a while, you drink it, and I'll pull out the arrow cluster for you. You know, I'm a great doctor, and I can revive a patient as long as he has breath left!"
"Senior brother, you are lying again!" Chang Wanying smiled, her eyebrows completed two beautiful crescents, "As soon as Senior Brother deceives people, his earlobes will move." Brother, don't you know it yourself?"
"I, I didn't lie to you, I swear, I swear. Ma boiled, Ma boiled and scattered, it was really good right away!" Zheng Ziming was so anxious that he raised his head and swore to the sky, "If I had half a lie just now......"
"Okay, what do you swear, you?" Chang Wanying glanced at him lightly and whispered disgust. It's like a newlywed wife who blames her husband for spending her makeup.
"Really, I really didn't!" Zheng Ziming's heart shrank in pain, and he looked at Chang Wanying's eyes and explained loudly, "You know I'm the best at saving people, I ......"
"I know, I've known since I was a child!" Chang Wanying smiled and responded gently. Immediately, he closed his eyes, gasped slightly, tried to open his eyes again, and asked with a little mischievousness: "Senior brother, are you really Shi Yanbao?" Tell me, are you Shi Yanbao, or did someone else take it and occupy his body? β
"I, I'm Shi Yanbao, it's really, it's like a fake!" Zheng Ziming's body trembled when he was asked, and he shouted hard, "Really, junior sister, don't think about it too much, I'll save you, I must save you!"
"Senior brother, don't worry!" Chang Wanying smiled weakly, her voice gradually lowered, "Then you tell me something, something about us when we were young." Speaking slowly, I listened with my eyes closed. β
"Senior sister, I'm Shi Yanbao, it's really Shi Yanbao! Senior sister, you wake up, don't sleep, I don't allow you to sleep!" Zheng Ziming shook his left arm slightly, trying to wake Chang Wanying up, but not only did he move too violently, so as not to pull the wound on the other party's shoulder and bleed more.
Who he really is, he himself really doesn't know. originally thought that he would be confused in the past in this life, but he didn't expect that the junior sister, who had never pursued this matter, always wanted a definite answer.
"When we were children, when we were children......" He gritted his teeth in a hurry, sweating profusely. Watching as she watched, Chang Wanying's skin became whiter and whiter, and her eyes became tighter and tighter. Suddenly, my heart throbbed and I shivered in pain. Immediately, a bright light slashed into his mind, and countless fragments of memories spurted out, and in mid-air, they were pieced together into a complete pattern.
"I remembered, I really remembered! I'm Shi Yanbao, I'm Shi Yanbao!" he tore his throat and shouted, lest his voice be low, causing Chang Wanying to fall asleep and never be heard. "I, I once caught a caterpillar and forced you to cut its body with a knife to see if it had any internal organs!"
"I once boiled herbs for you to drink, and I said that if you drink it, you will grow as tall as me!"
"I once lifted your skirt and was so ashamed that you cried!"
"I used to tell you that I came from another world, where people flew around in boxes, and carts never needed horses and oxen to pull them. β
"I once told you that there is a way to engrave your portrait and voice in stone, and it will never be destroyed!"
"I used to put ginger powder on my arm and show you how to ......"
"I used to ......"
One by one, one by one, they were all trick-or-treats he did when he was a child, when he was with Chang Wanying. Each piece is as vivid as ever in memory.
And Chang Wanying's head became heavier and heavier, heavier and heavier, like Mount Tai, pressing his left arm trembling slightly.
"Little junior sister, wake up. I'm really Shi Yanbao, I really remember. I was, I had promised to build a three-story house for both of us. When I marry you, let the green trees in Bianliang City make up for ten miles!" he shouted, uttering the most beautiful promise of his childhood.
Perhaps, it was just a child's talk at the beginning.
He now knew that this promise would never change!
