CHAPTER XXII
When the doctor woke up again, the only thing he felt was soreness all over his body, especially his legs, which were as swollen as copper and iron. The doctor, who has had several escapes, knows very well that this is caused by overloaded running, and usually after a day and a half, the situation will improve, but if you want to walk immediately, it is basically impossible.
When I think about this, the doctor is most concerned about where he is. He has temporarily lost the ability to escape, and if he has been captured back to Fallen Leaf City now, then what awaits him is not only the fate of a slave or a beating, but also a death. The doctor is not as dull as he appears to be, and at times he can see things better than some clever people. Because his thinking is too simple and not easily affected by some external factors, he can quickly see the key point of the problem.
The first thing the doctor felt was not the dark and damp smell that he was familiar with, but the reassuring smell of bedding, which was mixed with a little bit of sweat peculiar to men, but for a slave doctor, it was no longer a treatment that he had never enjoyed.
Just when the doctor was once again immersed in this comfortable atmosphere that made him fall asleep again, he suddenly remembered the old man who changed the trajectory of his life. Previously, because of the rush of running, there was no time to pay too much attention to the old man.
It was extremely difficult to prop up the upper body, and I found that my legs were not at all obedient, and any slight movement would make me feel uncomfortable.
What the hell!
In this way, the doctor lay on this bed for an afternoon. The doctor had not been able to sleep at all throughout the afternoon, although he was now extremely tired. But in the face of the upcoming change of fate, in the face of the critical moment that may be a turning point in fate for him, the doctor has never been able to make up his mind.
When darkness began to envelop the camp, the doctor finally waited for the first person he saw when he woke up.
Before deciding to meet the "giant", Airy pondered it in his tent.
When he saw the figure of the doctor lying in the snow, he couldn't help but be shocked by the doctor's huge figure, which can be called "unusual". Although I have seen many tall soldiers in the barracks. However, to be like the doctor, Airy searched all the people he had seen in his memory, but he still couldn't find a single one that could compare the "long and short" with him.
But it's not just this one thing that's puzzling. The doctor's gorgeous aristocratic attire and his rugged temperament were indeed incompatible, but really like the slaves that Baser spoke of.
All your questions are answered by trusting yourself.
When Airy lifted the curtain and stepped into the tent where the doctor was resting, he could clearly see the anxiety and a hint of caution on the doctor's face.
Not very tall, with an ordinary face, except for the brilliant military uniform on his body, which was incomparably brilliant in the eyes of the doctor, everything about Airy did not seem to attract the doctor's attention. Of course, this was only before the doctor learned of Airy's identity.
Airy tried his best to maintain a general's majesty, but at the same time he had to put a kind smile on the corner of his mouth. After all, it is indeed not so easy to maintain one's composure in front of a "giant" like a doctor. That kind of body shape really gave a great sense of oppression, and even if the doctor was sitting on the bed, Airy could still perceive it very clearly.
In the face of this sense of oppression, Airy's mind couldn't help but pop up with another person, that is, Li Yuxuan, the head of the family. However, the difference between the two is that the former is only an oppression of external forces, while the latter is a complete spiritual subjugation. When facing the head of the family, I believe that it is impossible for anyone to maintain a stable state of mind, at least there is absolutely no way for him to do it. At this point, perhaps Lang Zhong, who is also a general, is much better than himself.
After seeing the smile on Airy's face, the doctor sitting on the bed relaxed the tense expression on his face. He didn't know that it was precisely because of the feared archery skills of the man in front of him that he pulled himself back from the ghost gate. Before he fell unconscious, the doctor had been on a high slope, and his physical strength at that time made it difficult for him to see Airy's face a hundred paces away.
However, the moment the doctor's whole body relaxed, the two sword-wielding guards who followed Airy into the tent made the doctor's nerves tense again.
Airy was a thoughtful man, and immediately noticed the change in the other party's mentality, waved his hand to let the two guards exit the tent, and made an apologetic gesture to the doctor on the bed.
"Hello," Airy pulled a chair in the tent and sat down across from the doctor, stabilizing his emotions and sorting out the slightly cluttered thoughts in his head, "This is the camp of the 'Home', we need to confirm your identity." ”
The doctor did not answer immediately, but "inspected" Airy from head to toe and from foot to head several times with his own gaze, and then replied, "How do you prove that you are from the 'homeland'?"
Hearing such an answer, Airy couldn't help but sigh slightly, unexpectedly that the other party not only did not answer his own question, but asked himself a question.
I really can't think of any way to prove that I am a "home" person. Although he wears the costume of the leader of the "homeland", it does not mean much to strangers. Do you want to let yourself go back to the camp tent and show him the appointment document stamped with the order of the head of the family, Huang Long? And Airy really doubted that the "giant" in front of him could read the words on it.
Just when Airy was at a loss for a while, the doctor suddenly remembered something and rushed to say: "The ...... with me"
"He, it's still very dangerous, our military doctor is rescuing, but it depends on the situation......" Airy, a soldier who has been brutally duel on the battlefield, has long been quite indifferent to life and death, so when he answered, his tone was stiff.
But the doctor didn't think so, and when he heard the other party's tone, he didn't seem to care at all about the old man who "saved" him, and his face was slightly angry. The attentive Airy understood at first sight that the other party had misunderstood him. But as the commander of a legion, there was no need to explain anything, so he stood up and said coldly: "If you can get out of bed now, then I will ask someone to take you to meet him." ”
Apparently, Airy was quite dissatisfied with the doctor's uncooperative attitude just now, called in an ordinary soldier, whispered a few words in his ear, and left the tent.
The doctor also saw from the change in Airy's attitude that the other party was dissatisfied with him, but now he was bent on seeing the old man and wanting to know if he was out of danger, so he didn't care too much about Airy's attitude at all.
After Airy left, the doctor struggled to get out of bed, and the moment his feet touched the ground, his legs felt as if they had been stabbed by thousands of spikes.
After a while, the doctor waited until his feet had become accustomed before leaving the tent under the guidance of the soldier. Along the way, from time to time, the doctor saw groups of heavily armed soldiers patrolling the camp, everyone was in high spirits and high morale, and it was indeed called an elite unit. Although the layout between the camps seems to be staggered, and the passages between them extend in all directions, outsiders will definitely be at a loss when they are in them, but looking at those soldiers, they are familiar with the road, and there is no feeling of reluctance at all. It can be seen that the people who set up this barracks must be people who are well versed in the art of war. But the current doctor didn't pay attention to these things at all, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to them, and now he just hoped to see the old man as soon as possible, because that was the only person he could trust.
After about a quarter of an hour of wandering around the cobweb-like camp, the doctor finally saw the familiar old man. The old man was lying quietly on a bed, and to the doctor's surprise, the man who had appeared in his tent earlier was also here, talking softly with three or four men dressed as doctors. However, looking at the expressions on the faces of those doctors, it seems that the old man's life is difficult to save.
"The meridians of his whole body have been broken, and his internal organs have been displaced......"
Before the healer could finish speaking, Airy nodded and said, "Got it, you guys go down first." ”
Several healers bowed down and withdrew from the barracks, watching the departure of all the healers, Airy, who had practiced martial arts, knew very well that the old man was already dead at this moment, even if the gods descended to earth, I am afraid that they would be powerless.
"Say as much as you can!" said Airy softly as he left the tent and passed the doctor.
"I have finally fulfilled the Duke's request. ”
These were the last words the old man said as he was dying.
