[064] Strange
I don't know how long I slept, Xiao Shizhu slowly regained consciousness, but he was still weak, his abdomen was still aching, and when he moved slightly, he had a sharp pain like a sawing hacksaw, sawing every meridian in his body. He simply lay down for a while before he opened his eyes with great difficulty.
The first thing that catches your eye is the wooden ceiling. Looking around again, he saw that he was lying in the cabin, his armor had been taken off and he had changed into clean clothes.
The Moon Destroying Sword was sheathed and lay quietly beside his pillow.
"General. King Kong happened to walk in, saw Xiao Shizhu open his eyes, walked quickly to his bedside, and cried with joy: "You can be considered awake!"
Xiao Shizhu turned his head to look at him and smiled, and said, "The arrow that can shoot my Xiao Yige is not made yet." ”。
"Don't be poor. Seeing that his lips were chapped, King Kong hurriedly got up and poured him a glass of water, and carefully helped him to sit up, slowly handed the glass to his mouth and slowly leaned back, saying, "Drink slowly." ”。
"How long have I been asleep?" After drinking a glass of water, Xiao Shizhu asked weakly, "Where is this?"
"You've slept for five days and five nights. King Kong helped him lie down again and said, "We are now returning home." ”。
"What about the water master, what about the water master of the ghost kingdom?" Xiao Shizhu asked urgently, and he was injured because he spoke too quickly, causing him to cough a few times.
"It's all gone. King Kong raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "It's good that you woke up, otherwise it wouldn't be worth destroying the ghost kingdom." ”。 Xiao Shizhu's heart warmed and moved.
As he was talking, Ying Zhao's voice came from the door: "King Kong, hurry up and prepare a stretcher, we are almost at Shuoyue Island." ”。 Before the words fell, I saw Ying Zhao striding in.
When he saw Xiao Shizhu lying on the bed, he was looking at him with his eyes open, and after smiling and shaking his hand at him, he was slightly stunned, and then after recovering his senses, he also burst into tears first, and choked up: "Big brother, big brother, you can be considered awake." ”。
"What are you crying about, you are the vanguard of the Xiao family's army, be careful of being seen by your soldiers and laughing at you. Xiao Shizhu sat up again with the support of King Kong, subconsciously raised his hand and touched his chest, and said a little panicked: "Where's my letter?"
"Here. King Kong hurriedly went to the table to fetch it for him, handed it to him, and said, "When you change your clothes, I will take it down for you." ”。
Xiao Shizhu took the letter, looked at the envelope in his hand and smiled faintly, his eyes were full of happiness, and he told King Kong and them: "Don't tell the ghost mother about my injury." lest she worry. ”。 After speaking, he stuffed the envelope into his arms again.
"It's late. When King Kong and Ying Zhao heard this, they both looked embarrassed. Then King Kong said to him, "You are unconscious, so we have to inform the ghost mother and ask her to prepare the best imperial doctor to come to the port to pick us up." ”。
"It's a mouthful. Xiao Shizhu frowned and said, "Isn't it just an arrow? and it didn't hit the vital point, as for so much to mobilize the people?" But in his heart, he thought about how to reassure the other party if he saw the ghost mother for a while.
"That's no ordinary arrow, it's called Soul Breaker. Ying Zhao stepped forward and said loudly: "It is made by Emperor Xudu, the arrow is made of stone-pressed hell, and the arrow shaft is made of iron wood from the Iron Tree Hell, which can kill all souls." Half of the ancient gods of the year died under this kind of arrow. When I saw the arrow, I, I thought you were dead. ”。 After Ying finished speaking, he sobbed again.
"Huh. However, Xiao Shizhu was not shocked or afraid when he heard this, but smiled lightly, and still said with some weakness: "It seems that Emperor Xudu is going to be disappointed, there are fake and shoddy products in his weapons." ”。 As soon as his foot hit the ground, although the wound was torn and there was a burst of pain, he still couldn't help but ask: "How many casualties did the troops suffer in conquering the enemy's naval port?"
"One warship was not damaged, the Xiao family army had no casualties, and the main force of the four city guards died more than 300. ”。 King Kong reciprocated to him.
"The casualties are not too big. Xiao Shizhu said and walked slowly outside the cabin, and Ying Zhao and King Kong hurriedly followed, one fetching him a cloak and closing, and the other supporting him.
When he came to the deck, the light of the cloudy sun was a little dazzling, and Xiao Shizhu hurriedly raised his hand on his forehead to block part of the sunlight. But seeing that the mighty fleet was heading east, the soldiers were busy with their own business. Under the leadership of Haei and Kimohara, the formation of Yumin flew through the air with the flotilla to escort it.
When the soldiers saw Xiao Shizhu, they were stunned for a moment, and then their surprised eyes turned into joy, and a commotion came from all over the deck one after another, followed by cheers one after another.
"Comrades, brothers. Xiao Shizhu took a deep breath and gathered enough strength to shout: "I, Xiao Shizhu, are back again." ”。
The shouts landed, and the ship fell silent. After a brief silence, the silent crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers.
This battle not only won him more prestige in the Xiao family's army, but also made Chunyun Xiaxing and the Sicheng Guards look at him with admiration and admiration. Xiao Shizhu's strategic thinking and tactical command ability are so strong that Chunyun and Xia Xing, who have experienced a hundred battles, are beyond their reach, and even if they are seriously injured, they can think calmly, which makes Chunyun and Xia Xing's admiration for him increase a few points.
Even the people on Shuoyue Island in the distance knew about Xiao Shizhu and Xiao Jiajun, and after learning that the first contribution to the defense of Shuoyue Island was none other than Xiao Jiajun, they praised Xiao Shizhu as the god of war from heaven and Xiao Jiajun as a heavenly soldier, which made Xiao Shizhu's reputation rise day by day.
At this time, after Xiao Shizhu greeted the soldiers, he stood at the bow of the boat. Raising his eyes to look, but seeing that Shuoyue Island was at the junction of the sea and sky in front of him, he stared at the small island in the distance and said to himself, "I'm going home." ”。 As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched the letter on his chest.
On Shuoyue Island, the military port to the west.
After a major battle, the military port was in tatters. Everywhere you can see craftsmen with workers, repairing and rebuilding.
The ghost mother, who was full of anxiety and worry, stood outside the port with the forbidden army and a dozen imperial doctors. Early in the morning, she received a report that after the army returned with Xiao Shizhu, she hurriedly took the imperial doctor to the military port.
But after seeing the fleet appear in her sight, the ghost mother was even more anxious. She couldn't calm the constant panic of worry in her heart, and could only relieve it with a flurry of hesitant steps, but the more she walked, the more nervous she became, like a string full of bows. The ten fingers of his hands were clasped together, and he silently prayed for Xiao Shizhu in his heart.
After the fleet docked at the side of the military port, she couldn't wait to meet it quickly.
As soon as he arrived at the port, he saw Xiao Shizhu slowly walking off the warship with the support of King Kong and Yingzhao. The ghost mother was slightly stunned, suddenly stopped, her heart beat faster, she was at a loss, her mind was chaotic, she stared at Xiao Shizhu and opened her lips slightly, but she couldn't speak.
There was surprise and surprise on his face, which intertwined to form a complex expression. Tears welled up and swirled in their eyes.
"After winning such a battle, I can be regarded as a hero of the ghost mother country, right?" Xiao Shizhu walked in front of her, looked around, and saw the construction team working hard everywhere, and smiled at the ghost mother who was still looking at him blankly: "Why didn't you give any applause, flowers and honor guards or something to greet the hero." ”。
Before the words fell, the ghost mother threw away her worries and panic, and threw herself into his arms desperately, hugging him tightly without saying a word, crying and sobbing quietly without saying a word.
But because she wrapped her hands around Xiao Shizhu's waist and touched the other party's wound, Xiao Shizhu gasped in pain and snorted lightly. When the ghost mother heard him snort, she hurriedly let go of him, looked at his bulging abdomen because of the bandage, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt. Xiao Shizhu smiled. The ghost mother glanced at his indifferent look on his face, hurriedly wiped the tears on his face, raised her pink fist and began to beat his chest, and said angrily in her mouth: "If you don't go, you have to listen, you're hurt, right?" As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes again. The tone seems to be complaining, but in fact it is concerned.
She has been very strong all her life and has never shed tears, but she has shed tears for this man more than once after Xiao Shizhu's arrival. Even the ghost mother herself felt that this was very uncompromising, but she just couldn't control herself.
And Xiao Shizhu looked back, and saw that all the sergeants behind him were silently watching, and after looking at him with envy, he hurriedly grabbed the ghost mother's fists and said, "I'm injured here, if you beat me twice, I'll really die." ”。 As he spoke, he winked at the ghost mother, signaling that there were soldiers around her, don't be so close.
The ghost mother turned a blind eye, broke free of his hand with her right hand, raised her index finger and slightly lifted her foot to stick to him, gently leaned her index finger on his lips, and whispered softly: "I don't allow you to say that you are dead, can you remember?"
But after seeing Xiao Shizhu's slight bow, the ghost mother put away her tenderness, put on a serious look, and said loudly to Chunyun and Yingzhao: "All the soldiers have worked hard! 10 taels of silver for each of the 100 households, 15 taels for each of the 1,000 households, and 100 taels for each of the commanding generals. The Xiao family soldiers who went deep into the enemy territory were rewarded with double rewards. ”。
"Long live my lord!" all the soldiers knelt down and kowtowed to the ghost mother after hearing this.
"Let's go. The ghost mother generously took Xiao Shizhu's hand and said, "Let's go back to the palace." ”。 As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Shizhu and went outside the military port......
In the inner courtyard of the Ghost Mother Palace.
Xiao Shizhu was lying on a bed with a gold bib, his head resting on a jade pillow, and under his body was a lynx inlaid with mink fur, covered with a blue silk face and a silk jacket. In the whole house, except for him, there was only the ghost mother.
And Xiao Shizhu has also been lying here for five days, thanks to the blessing of divine power, he has been recuperating for a few days, and his wounds have healed.
He turned his head to look at the ghost mother who was sitting on the edge of the bed, carrying the medicine bowl, and then turned his head to stare at the ceiling and sighed, "When am I going to lie down?"
Since ancient times, both in the underworld and in the human world. There are many from slaves to generals, but I am afraid that there is only Xiao Shizhu who lets the lord of the country serve him.
"The Imperial Doctor can say, you have to recuperate. The ghost mother used the jade spoon in her hand to hold a spoonful of decoction from the medicine bowl, and now after blowing on the side of her mouth, she slowly handed the spoon to Xiao Shizhu's mouth, and said softly: "You just lie down obediently, and I will accompany you if you are bored." ”。
"Well, just have you with you. Xiao Shizhu drank the medicine, looked at the ghost mother with a begging gaze, frowned and complained: "It's too bitter, can you stop drinking it?"
"Good medicine is good for disease, and if you don't take medicine, the injury can't be healed, so drink it all obediently. The ghost mother coaxed him like a child, and after feeding him a spoonful of medicine, she saw that there was excess medicine soup flowing from the corner of his mouth, so she hurriedly put down the medicine bowl, picked up her embroidered handkerchief and gently wiped the medicine off for him.
"Didn't you say that I will marry me when I come back?" Xiao Shizhu took another sip of medicine, and then smiled evilly at the ghost mother and shouted: "Why is it that for so many days, I haven't seen you mention the matter of getting married and entering the cave room." Yubi looked at each other with interest, and added: "You won't be fooling me, right?"
"Where?" The ghost mother's cheeks were slightly red, and she gently patted his chest, turned her head and said shyly, "Your body is now, why do you have a cave room?"
"Who said no. After Xiao Shizhu patted his chest, he gave a thumbs up and said proudly: "How about my body?"
Seeing that the ghost mother didn't answer, he stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around the other party's slender waist, and said, "Why don't you come up and try it now?"
"Took the medicine. The ghost mother slapped his hand off her waist, took a spoonful of decoction, and stuffed it into his mouth indiscriminately, and said angrily: "Shameless!"
"But also, it's too early to get married, so why don't you choose an auspicious day. Xiao Shizhu saw that she was shy, so he laughed, and then put away his smile and said solemnly: "I heard that the arrow that shot me is very powerful, but how can I use it? As for using it on me? In the past few days, I have pondered that the enemy army has mobilized the army to get such a strange arrow to serve me, and this matter must be strange." ”。 Yubi frowned, and there was a wave of doubt between his eyebrows.
