Chapter 29: Kindness
The army marched to Xiaolan City with the cool breeze of late autumn, and at this marching speed, they would be able to reach Chiyuan City before the New Year's Festival.
The cold wind outside is bleak, and from time to time there will be a "rustle" sound of fallen leaves rising with the wind, Si Nanyue's physique is cold, and her hands and feet are cold at this time every year.
After the clouds and rain, she was just about to fall asleep, when she heard Qingjier panting and running to the king's tent, shouting breathlessly: "Your Highness is not good! The general he ...... He was assassinated and poisoned, is the little city lord here with you? Let's ask her to come and have a look!! ”
This happened suddenly, Helian was completely sleepy, put on a coat and went to Apohan's camp with Si Nanyue.
Halfway through, seeing the soldiers dragging Mu Ya's body out of Abohan's tent, Si Nanyue glanced at her slightly sideways and knew her answer.
At this time, Helian Duel's eyes naturally couldn't see others, he rushed to Apohan's side in a hurry, and only saw the usual people in front of him, and he couldn't even speak at the moment.
He curled up his tall body into an arch in pain, his blue-black mouth involuntarily grinned, revealing his gurgling teeth, his face was distorted and deformed because of the great pain, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out...... That's it, how can Your Highness still ...... I came here in person......"
Si Nanyue stepped forward to check her pulse, her face sank instantly, and she slowly shook her head at Helian after withdrawing her hand.
Apohan knew his physical condition, and he was annoyed and remorseful, and squeezed a painful voice from his teeth: "Really...... shame and throw it to grandma's house...... Lao Tzu has killed countless enemies, but he didn't expect ...... Unexpectedly, it ended up in a ...... A woman in her hands ......"
"Say what last!" Helian never believed that Apohan, who had escaped death countless times, would die on the way home, "Do you remember what you said to this king on the day of his wedding to Udo?!" ”
He leaned down and drew closer to Apoham, for the man who had always been arrogant was now a little uneasy.
"You said that the children of this king must be the same as this king, taught by your own hands, and you want to teach them to be the great warriors of the red abyss, and now Ah Huan is still a half-old child, and he is still far from this king, how can you give up in the middle of the road!"
"Haha...... Hahaha......" Apohan laughed as he coughed up black blood, "We were talking drunk, Your Highness...... I actually remember ...... now."
Helian never believed that this poison was incurable, and asked Qingjier, who was waiting on the side, to diagnose the pulse, Qingjier knelt on the ground with a thud, and said bitterly: "Your Highness, this poison that seals the throat with blood is really incurable, and the general's foundation is good enough to hold on until now, and his subordinates are really powerless......"
There was no sound in the tent, only the sound of Apohan's heavy breathing could be heard, and Helian looked at Apohan in disbelief, the panic in his eyes could not be concealed, and his legs could not move as if they had been filled with lead.
He heard Apohan speak, "This is the old man of the Wolf King...... You want to wrestle with me, Your Highness...... Don't be sad, wait until we go down and find ...... General Sukhbaru, let's tell him about His Highness's exploits, he ...... He will definitely feel for His Highness's grandson...... Pride! ”
Suddenly, Apohan began to bleed from his seven orifices, his whole body convulsed, his bruised hands grabbed Helian Duel's hand like eagle talons, and his cloudy eyes widened, looking straight at him, as if he had countless words to say, and as if he couldn't rest assured.
Qingjier hurriedly gave Apohan a tranquilizer to make him last as long as possible, Si Nanyue watched hesitantly, she frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.
Si Nanyue was cautious and hesitated for a long time, and she finally spoke: "Your Highness, I had a serious illness when I was young, and my aunt asked for a Shesha fruit from a master in the world to save my life, I think...... If the blood containing the medicinal properties of the fruit is used as a medicinal guide, combined with the herbs for detoxification, the general has a strong physique, and should ...... There is hope of surviving. ”
"Sheshaguo......" Helian Du muttered silently.
He had heard of this kind of thing, the Shesha tree grows in a cold place, and the number is very small, it blooms in 50 years, and it bears a fruit in a hundred years, it is called the holy fruit, ordinary people eat it will prolong life, and the seriously ill person eats it to have the effect of resurrecting the dead.
This thing is hard to come by, his father and grandfather have been looking for this ethereal thing all their lives, but they didn't expect it to be taken into the pocket by Si Nanyue, who was still a child......
Helian decided to hesitate again and again, but still agreed to her, "Okay, since the city lord is somewhat sure, then everything is up to the city lord, if you save the general, this king will be rewarded!" ”
With Heliandu's answer, she boldly let go, Apohan's face was like ashes, obviously she couldn't wait too long, Si Nanyue ordered someone to cut the veins on his wrist, and black poisonous blood gushed out instantly, and at the same time she cut her hand with a dagger, released more than half a bowl of blood, and fed Apohan with the prepared medicinal juice.
After a dose of blood medicine, his face improved from time to time, and when Qingier re-examined, he could already take Apohan's pulse.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Helian Jie's tightly locked eyebrows gradually expanded, Sinan Yue saw that it was effective, and did this for several days in a row, although Apohan still had convulsions from time to time, but he was able to save his life.
And she lost too much blood, her originally pale face became more and more haggard, and she lay on the couch all day and couldn't move.
Xi Ming paused learning to ride and shoot, stayed by her side to take care of her, and occasionally complained: "Miss, what do you care about the life or death of a Chiyuan person, you torture your body so much, you don't feel sorry for me!" ”
Whenever this happens, Si Nanyue purses her bloodless lips, and points her fingertips on the little girl's full forehead, asking her not to talk nonsense, so as not to be listened to by someone with a heart.
After more than ten days, Apohan's body finally improved, and she no longer needed to use blood to induce medicine, and she could finally recuperate with peace of mind.
Maybe it was because Si Nanyue saved Abohan's life, Helian Duel's attitude towards her was very different from before, and he specially transferred a few slaves and maids to serve here, and ordered three military doctors to recuperate her body.
He came over to take care of him from time to time, but for Si Nanyue, except for the number of times she saw Helian dueling, it was no different from before.
It's just that when she asked Dari Achi to bring her soup, Dari Achi stood next to her, looking at the sick, harmless woman in front of her with a complicated expression, and sneered: "You didn't let me kill that woman that day, saying that it was useful to keep it, and that's what you mean by it?" If it weren't for the little crying bag of Ximing, I would really think that you people in Zelu City are so cunning. ”
"Sir, you're serious."
Si Nanyue looked up at him, her smile was clear and soft, but her eyes were diametrically opposite and unfathomable, "Our master and servant have nothing to rely on here, we can only rely on His Highness's grace, I just want to make the road ahead easier." ”
"Whatever, it's none of my business anyway, I'm just curious, it's a miracle that Little Crying Bao grew up next to a thoughtful person like you, and it can be so innocent."
Si Nanyue's eyes darkened, and a wry smile appeared on her face, "Xi Ming suffered a lot when she was young, and she was most loved by her mother, although they are not related by blood, Xi Ming is the most like a mother's child among our sisters, she is innocent and straightforward, simple and beautiful, if she can keep this pure heart worry-free to old age, it is not a good thing, but ...... Maybe I won't be able to protect her then......"
She lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, and was just about to speak, when she heard Apohan's majestic voice from outside the tent: "Little city lord, we have come to see you!" ”
Dari Achi retreated with the current affairs, and Abohan stepped in with a pheasant, and shook the pheasant that was struggling with its wings to Si Nanyue with a smile, followed by the military doctor who came to ask for pulse.
"Little city lord, they said to drink hen soup to nourish your body, we personally brought the hounds, the pheasant should be similar to the hen, right? You, go and get some chicken, remember to make more soup for the little city lord. ”
He couldn't help but stuff the chicken into the hands of the military doctor, and the military doctor grabbed the fluttering pheasant and retreated, how could he boil chicken soup, so he could only hand over the chicken to a maid.
Si Nanyue was in a good mood when the military doctor couldn't say that she couldn't tell her feelings, so she couldn't help but hide her face and smile, she asked with a smile: "The general is in good spirits today, I think I'm in a lot better, right?" ”
"Of course!" Apohan patted his chest, "This time it's too dangerous, if it weren't for the small city lord who was righteous and sacrificed his life to save us, we might really have to accompany the wolf god and his old man to drink tea." ”
"It's good that the general is fine, and now Si Nanyue's kindness will be repaid."
The second monk of Apohan was puzzled by this sentence, "Kindness, what kindness?" ”
Si Nanyue was silent for a long time before she said: "In front of the rain vine tree in Zelu City, the general said that during the battle of Sushui Mountain, it was you who buried your brother's body, and the matter of the previous few days was due to my gratitude to the general." ”
Apohan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and withdrew after two snorts.
He was depressed and speechless, at that time, the forward general of Zelu City was buried by him, but at that time, the twenty-three holes in Si Nanyang's body were also poked by him with a knife, and even his head was cut off by him in the end.
He respects Si Nanyang's backbone, respects him rather than bend, respects him even if he dies, he must support his body with a spear, and not bend his knees to the enemy.
He was willing to bury this enemy and bury Si Nanyang in the land he swore to protect, he had a clear conscience, but Si Nanyue's sacrifice to save him made him feel a strange and indescribable emotion for a while......
"Damn, it's really evil......"
Abohan scolded and poured a sip of medicinal wine, the long night was approaching, he simply turned a corner and went to the military prostitute tent to have fun, wanting to dispel this strange feeling, but in his heart he always felt faintly indebted to Si Nanyue......
He looked up at the crescent moon in the night, when the eyebrows were in the air, and the night breeze was cold, perhaps because his body had not yet recovered, Apohan shivered, and got into the tent, and from time to time a woman's laughter came out.
