25 Dying
In the next few days, as Xian Jingyue expected, all the people in the team that came out of the Yumen Pass this time had been infected with the plague carried in the glutinous rice, and in the past few days, they began to attack one after another. And the last one among all the people to get sick was Xian Jingyue herself.
Originally, with the cultivation of Xian Jingyue, even if he couldn't be infected with all diseases, he shouldn't be afraid of infection similar to the plague, but now he has lost all his strength in the battle of Huguang, and his bones have been greatly reduced, and he is not even as strong as ordinary people. Since he has been infected by the plague, if there is no cure for the symptoms, I am afraid that he will have to sit and wait for death like everyone else.
And Li Liu himself has become a plague patient, so naturally he can no longer take care of others. She had a seizure a few days earlier than Xian Jingyue, and her condition was more serious, and she couldn't help coughing even in her sleep, and the pain was heartbreaking. To say that although this woman misbehaved, but in the end she was also a poor person, seeing her sick like this, and then thinking back to her care for herself along the way, Xian Jingyue couldn't help but feel sad, and she has been staying by her side to take care of her for the past few days.
Fortunately, the tragic death of Master Zhou a few days ago still touched the guards on the wall of Jiayuguan, although they always refused to let everyone enter the pass, but these days from time to time they will use buckets to send some dry food and water. Later, seeing that everyone under the city wall fell ill, the soldiers defending the city unanimously believed that they were infected by the rumored "zombies", and they were even more convinced of the rumors that had been spread earlier. However, in addition to being horrified, they inevitably moved their hearts of compassion, and while bringing food to everyone, they also put some ordinary herbs to cure the wind and cold in the bucket. The people under the city wall did not understand medical science, and they did not know whether these medicinal materials were symptomatic, so they had to fry a large pot in an iron pot, and each person shared a bowl, but it had no effect.
I didn't expect this road to be so difficult, first ambushed by bandits, and then turned away from the gate of Jiayu Pass, and now because of the death of Master Zhou, the conscience of the soldiers defending the city was finally discovered, and they sent food and water one after another, but the group was defeated by the plague. It seems that this catastrophe is really fate, and it can't be avoided in the end. Since it has fallen to such a point, everyone is still too busy to take care of themselves, how can anyone pay attention to the food and medicinal materials that Master Zhou asked the Jiayuguan garrison to help prepare. Even if the Jiayuguan garrison sent this batch of food and medicinal materials at this moment, everyone would not be able to transport them back to Yumen Pass.
And Xian Jingyue has actually had several killing thoughts in these days, wanting to attack the Jiayu Pass in front of him in one fell swoop, as a vent. But after calming down and thinking about it, I finally dispelled this thought. To say that whether it is the Yumen Pass garrison or the people on this trip, the reason why they ended up in today's fate is that the culprit is the Shenhuo Sect that set up a bureau behind the scenes, or that Yan Sidao, and the Jiayuguan garrison's inaction is actually just self-preservation, worrying that the rumored "zombies" will enter Jiayuguan and thus infect the entire northwest, so the Jiayuguan garrison cannot be convicted of death just by the four words "see death and not save". And after all, Xian Jingyue is the commander of the Imperial Court's pro-army Governor's Mansion, if he really makes a move to attack the city, it will be the crime of rebellion and rebellion of the nine clans of Zhulian, once he makes a move, there is no room to turn back.
What's more, in the face of the Jiayuguan city wall in front of him, Xianjingyue is still internal force, and he has not been infected by the plague at this moment, and he may not be able to climb the wall of Jiayuguan alone; I am afraid that before he is halfway up, he has been shot to death by the soldiers defending the city. Recall that Taiyuan Guan rebelled back then, had instigated a large number of refugees to attack Jinling at night, or by his sister Xie Yixiang and Zhuang Haoming desperately defended the city, which quelled the rebellion of the refugees that night, I didn't think that in just two years, the offensive and defensive momentum has completely changed, and now in front of Jiayu Pass in the northwest, I have become a refugee who gathers in front of the city gate to make trouble.
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, the weather has become colder and colder, this Jiayuguan is located in the valley, and the cold wind is blowing from the north, which makes people feel cold. The sick people hid in the trench in front of the wall of Jiayuguan, and the woman who was first infected with the plague finally couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed violently, and a large mouthful of blood gushed out with her cough, and then her eyes rolled and she died on the spot.
Seeing this scene, the only trace of luck in many people's hearts is gone. Previously, when he was in Yumen Pass, although the patients infected with the plague lacked the right medicinal materials, they were treated with other medicinal materials in the army, and they could still survive and barely control their condition. But now sleeping in the moat of Jiayuguan, it is a cold desert winter, and he is infected by this plague, so he can only sit and wait to die. As a result, many soldiers and civilians were in despair, and in the end, not many people even took the food and water sent by the soldiers defending the city wall.
Xian Jingyue's heart was even more sad and indignant to the extreme, judging from this situation, I was afraid that within ten days, everyone under the city wall would die, even himself. And Li Liu's condition beside her has become more and more serious, and a lot of bloodshot has gradually appeared in the phlegm she coughed up, seeing that the woman she had taken care of was finally killed by the plague, she couldn't help but sigh, tears like rain. Since he was already dying, naturally there was nothing to take care of, so at that moment, Li Liu used all his strength and tried to lie down in the arms of Xian Jingyue beside him, and said with difficulty: "My lord...... So far, the lowly ...... There is no shame in being humble. I've slept with many men in my life, but this is the first time I've encountered a man like you...... I can't tell you how different you are from those men, but that's what I think in my heart...... I remember that day it was still the autumn wind, the whole Yumen was very hot, the first time you came to the grocery store on the street to find me, the clothes on your body were so white, and the look on your face was so proud, I ...... I've wanted to sleep with you ever since......"
Xian Jingyue was stunned when she heard these words, but seeing that Li Liu was sick like this, she couldn't bear to push her away, so she had to be silent. Li Liu continued: "I also know that I am not worthy of you, and I am very satisfied to be able to stay by your side...... Although you didn't treat me well, and even hated me in your heart, you never thought of harming me, or being like any other man...... The same use of my ......"
As she spoke, her hand had gently stroked the most sensitive part of Xian Jingyue's body, and she muttered, "I'm going to die right now...... Before I die, I still hope ...... I also hope that my lord will fulfill my wish, and let the lowly students serve you for a while...... He died without regrets. ”
Xian Jingyue was infected by the plague, and he was also blocked in his chest, coughing from time to time, but at this time, he couldn't help but feel hot all over his body, and his face was red. Unexpectedly, this Li Liu family has become so sick, but he still does not change his life, and he still thinks about the love of men and women until he dies. However, in this situation, Xian Jingyue couldn't bear to scold her, and hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "I heard your flute on the wall of Yumen Pass that night. I'd like to hear it again. ”
