Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 45: Seven Colored Flowers
It was night, the sky was like an ink pool, and the stars were sinking and falling.
He Yi lit a bonfire and lit up the surroundings, and at night, the centipede-like dead trees were still waving their branches in the wind, and the shadows under the firelight were blurred.
After the injury, he began to sort out the bodies of the dead soldiers one by one, so as to check whether there were any survivors.
After the counting, a total of nine soldiers, including Jia Shao, still had a trace of breath and heartbeat.
The feeling of ecstasy instantly filled He Yi's heart.
"No more accidents, no more accidents......"
He Yi choked up a little, carefully cleaned and bandaged the wounds of these survivors, and fed some water and dry food one by one, and soon after, several people woke up first.
"Yes...... Is it General He......" Jia Shao opened his eyes groggily, and the side of his eyes was cloudy and blurry, only a scattered silhouette seemed to be moving, so he whispered.
"Yes, it's me, I'm here!Xiao Shao, how do you feel?" He Yi heard this, and hurriedly walked over to check on Jia Shao's situation.
After hearing He Yi's voice, Jia Shao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his body softened again, and said weakly: "I'm fine...... Luckily, it didn't hurt the vital ......."
He looked around and saw the corpses of his comrades' siblings everywhere, and immediately fell silent, and his bloodless face turned even paler.
The original team of 100 people survived less than 10 people at this time.
Nine deaths and one life, perhaps this is the current situation.
It's really a lot of casualties......
...... ......
The survivors cheered up and buried the dead with He Yi, without erecting a monument, only a raised mound.
After that, several of them sat on the ground, all of them did not say a word, just silently gnawed on the dry food in their hands, which tasted like wax.
After going through such a dark thing, they can't raise the slightest fighting spirit in their hearts.
Everyone was silently thinking in their hearts, why was they being used as bait?
What did you do wrong?
It's a pity that no one will ever answer them.
"Ho, General Ho. Where do we go next? I, I don't want to go back to the plains......" After a while, a soldier suddenly asked, his voice a little trembling and timid.
There is no greater mourning than the death of the heart.
They are soldiers, soldiers with the blood to defend their homes and the country, and they do not hesitate to die to protect the safety of the people.
But in the end, it has become a part of the cultivators' pursuit of personal gain.
And this matter, the plain county must have known about it, but he chose to hide it.
Are they not afraid?
If this matter spreads to Pingyuan County, or even to Huyang City, everyone will be cold at that time, who else is willing to enlist in the army?
Or is it ...... They never thought about letting these people go back alive?
"Our parents and family are in Pingyuan County, so if we don't go back, where else can we go?" said another soldier.
"If we don't go back, then we will be treated as dead, at least we can still be called a martyr, if we go back, will the county Cheng trouble us? Also, will we be ...... Extinguish?"
“......”
There was another long silence, and it was clear that everyone was worried about the issue.
How to escape from Shekou?
He Yi looked up at them, not feeling good in his heart.
Indeed, in the current situation, even if they return to Pingyuan County, I am afraid that the county will not let them go, and perhaps going elsewhere to make a living is the best way.
But what if this "elsewhere" is the same?
Repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly, where is the end?
"Fan Wu, Fan Wu, General He, Fan Wu vomited blood!" At this time, Jia Shao's panicked voice came from the side.
Since Fan Wu was pulled back by the Seven-Colored Demon Flower, he has been under the care of Jia Shao, because of his leg injury and inconvenience, Jia Shao let Fan Wu stay aside first, and did not let him participate in the attack on General Zhao.
There wasn't much of a problem before, but now Fan Wu's whole person is like a wilted eggplant, his face is sallow, and he is languishing.
"How could it be like this?" He Yi walked over quickly and checked for Fan Wu, but he didn't find any clues.
There were no obvious external injuries on Fan Wu's body, the only wound was an arrow that He Yi shot at Fan Wu's calf in order to prevent Fan Wu from picking the seven-colored demon flower, but this was by no means enough to make it look like this.
Moreover, it was indeed a last resort, Fan Wu at that time did not pick the seven-colored demon flower, if he took it, with his own strength, he would have to die in the mouth of the angry tree heart python, and there was no possibility of survival.
"He, General He, I'm fine...... It's just a little out of strength, just take a break......" Fan Wu said weakly, he has always felt that it is his responsibility to do the matter of the giant python in the heart of the tree, and he feels very guilty in his heart, and he really doesn't want to cause any trouble to everyone anymore.
Fan Wu waved his hand at He Yi, wanting to show that he was fine, but what came out was a fist.
"What's wrong with your hand?" He Yi noticed Fan Wu's right hand clenched into a fist.
At this time, Fan Wu was very weak, and his whole body was weak, but the palm of his hand was firm.
Fan Wudao: "I don't know very well, I saw that the flower was strange at the time, and I wanted to pick it to see if I could cure the injury on He's body, but as soon as I got close to the bud, it bloomed, and then a green thing flew out of the stamen and went directly into the palm of my hand. I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I realize that my palm can't be opened. ”
He Yi was stunned and said, "Show me." ”
With that, he vigorously broke Fan Wu's fingers, and as soon as he tore open a gap, a ball of black and purple blood flowed out.
"Shhh
"Grit your teeth and endure it!" He Yi said with a frown.
He pried Fan Wu's fingers open a gap, wiped the blood, and looked through the gap, only to see that inside Fan Wu's palm, a blood-stained emerald seed had taken root in his palm, completely connected with the flesh and skin.
That is, the seed of the seven-colored demon flower......
"You must go to the doctor immediately!" He Yi said with a dark face.
Ten fingers connected to the heart, this seven-colored demon flower took root in Fan Wu's palm, and was sucking the essence blood of his heart through the tendons in his hand, no wonder Fan Wu would look so weak.
He Yi didn't know where the roots of this seven-colored demon flower had spread, and he didn't dare to forcibly take it off, he was afraid that once he made a mistake, it would cause Fan Wu's body to lose a lot of blood and die of weakness.
"Shall we go back? But we... Do you really want to go back......" The surviving soldiers hesitated.
After this incident, they were worried that they would be framed again when they returned.
"Go back, but don't go back to Pingyuan County, go to Lirong Village!" He Yi gritted his teeth and made a decision. Then he carved a map on a piece of bark, handed it to Jia Shao, and said: "You go now! After you arrive at Lirong Village, don't have a conflict with the other party, just find a person named Gongliangju and tell him that I let you go." ”
Listening to the meaning of He Yi's words, as if there was a sense of parting, Jia Shao couldn't help but say, "General He, won't you go with us?"
"I still have some things to do, it may be delayed a little, life is at stake, you send Fan Wu away first, and I will arrive later." He Yi said.
“......”
"Hurry up, it's important to save people!"
“......”
Although reluctant, Fan Wu's injuries really couldn't be delayed, and in desperation, they could only throw themselves to Lirong Village overnight.
As for He Yi, he was not willing to go to Li Rongzhai.
In his heart, since Li Rongzhai dared to attack the city, he had already been branded as a thief.
He Yi is extremely disgusted with this kind of behavior, so he can't and will never be in the same league with him.
He and Gongliangju are old comrades, this is true, if it is changed to the previous He Yi, after learning that Gongliangju helped the thief to rebel, he will definitely punish him with his own hands, even if the other party is forced to rebel.
But now, the world has changed, and it is completely different from before.
He knew that occasional rebellion might be a wake-up call to those who understood what was important in this secular world.
Therefore, he can acquiesce to the act of being in the company of the thief, but even so, he will never allow this kind of thing to happen to him.
This is the bottom line that He Yi still adheres to.
Even after learning the news of the destruction of the Beirong army, this bottom line has not changed.
