Chapter Twenty-Six: The End of the World
I took the token and it just felt heavy. With such a heavy responsibility, how can I, a fledgling swordsman, take on it? He said: "Senior Xu, I can allow other things, but this matter is really beyond the ability of the juniors, and I really dare not accept it." ”
"There is a providence in the dark, and the young man does not have to be too humble. Xu Cheng struggled and said: "Xue'er has a rough fate in her life, you take care of it for me...... Cher. ”
After saying this, Xu Cheng tenderly glanced at the girl who was still crying, and said, "Promise Dad, don't take revenge!" The arm slipped from the top of her head. "Dad, you don't want to die!" the girl cried heartbreakingly.
In the blink of an eye, the officers and soldiers of the brigade rushed up, and a group of masters and the Yellow Turban Army resisted desperately, but they could not stop the officers and soldiers like ants. Seeing that the matter was urgent, I said to the girl in the yellow shirt, "Girl, go quickly! ”
But she still lay on her father's body and wept. At this time, an officer and soldier had already been killed, and I went over to cut off his spear, so helpless, I had to desperately pick up the girl in the yellow shirt and stride towards the few people to break through.
I ran as hard as I could, only hating my father and mother for missing two legs, and finally ran to a river, and when I saw that no one was following me, I was really exhausted from running, so I let her go. Her face was pale, and even her breathing was extremely subtle, and I was really worried that she would die like this.
My bag had long since been lost, so I had to find a large leaf, filled it with water, and feed her little by little, but she didn't know how to drink at first, and finally her throat moved. I shouted "Miss Xu" a few times, but she didn't respond.
Seeing that she drank water, I felt a little relieved. He used the dragon slaying knife to cut down a few small trees nearby, picked up some dead branches, and lit them with the fire breaker he brought with him, and built a big fire. I saw that her cheeks were flushed, and I touched her forehead, but her forehead was hot, and it seemed that it was not lightly burned.
I had no choice but to tear a piece of cloth from my own shirt, soak it in water and put it on her forehead, and so on a few times, and after a few hours, her fever finally subsided somewhat, and she seemed to sleep peacefully. At this time, in this barren mountain and wilderness, only the cry of a crow was heard, which made it even more desolate. I heard the master say that when a person is dying, the crow will come and count the eyebrows of the person, and if it counts it, the person will not be saved. I foamed at the mouth of the spit and rubbed it on her brow so that the crows could not count. In the moonlight, her eyelashes still glistened with tears, the bridge of her nose was raised, her lips were red like blood, and a small wine bowl loomed beside her cheeks. Although my heart moved, I didn't know if she could save her life at this time, so I didn't think about her beauty. After a tiring day, I sat on one side leaning against a tree and gradually fell asleep.
I slept until midnight, and I heard only a cry, which turned out to be the girl's dream. I only heard her whispering: "Dad, you don't want to die, you can't just leave Xue'er alone......"
I could hear her sadness in the haze, and I couldn't help but shed tears. She still knows her parents, and I have no parents since I was born, and my master brought me up, but he had to let me go down the mountain and leave him, and came to the three kingdoms in this troubled world. Now in this huge world, where is my home? I have no relatives or friends, and I am afraid that no one will know if I die, let alone shed tears for myself.
For a while, thoughts were like springs, and sorrow came from the heart, but I couldn't sleep. At this time, the fire was a little smaller, so I added some firewood, and I was worried that she would be cold, so I took off my shirt and covered my body. Only then did he take out the dragon slaying knife and look at it carefully, this knife is much heavier than my original tiger head knife, about eighty pounds, and it is also wider and longer than my original tiger head knife. The blade of the knife seems to be made of dark iron, and the palm of the hand is also cold to the bone, and the body of the knife is tattooed with a swimming dragon, faintly swallowing mountains and rivers. People in the martial arts pay the most attention to the blade, and the head of the knife is bloody, this is the guy who eats. I don't want to get this treasure knife, I don't want to order the rivers and lakes, at least it will not be wrong to use it for self-defense.
I didn't have time to think about it in the chaotic battle just now, but at this time I felt very funny: I was originally an officer and soldier of the imperial court, but I became a thief by mistake, and I was still the big leader of the thief, and the world was really impermanent. I just don't know how Cao Cao and Zhao Yun will deal with themselves in the future?
Cao Cao is open-minded by nature, so naturally he will not take it to heart, but what about Zhao Yun? Although she is a woman, she is jealous and hateful, and she does not know that she is hundreds of times fiercer than other men, and she may have to compete with me in martial arts.
As soon as I thought of Zhao Yun, my heart hurt faintly again for some reason.
※※※
In my thoughts, I fell asleep again in a half-dream. The dream was full of scenes with Zhao Yundong's room, and I couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness. When I woke up, it was already dawn, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that my coat was covering my body, but the woman in the yellow shirt was gone.
I was so shocked that I thought to myself, could it be that a bear came at night and took her away?
I jumped up, holding the treasure knife in my hand, looking left and right. After walking a few steps, I saw that under the river, a girl was combing on the river, but it was not the girl in the yellow shirt.
"Girl, you're awake. I said.
She turned her head to look at me and smiled a little: "Duan Gongzi, thank you for saving your life." She tried to stand up, but she stumbled, apparently badly injured. I hurried to help her to a dry place and sit down.
"Miss Xu......" I was about to speak, but she interrupted, she said: "Duan Gongzi, my name is Xu Qianxue, you can call me...... Cher. ”
"Well, Miss Xu...... Cher, how are your injuries?"
"It's not good, I'm afraid I'll die. Xu Qianxue frowned.
"I'll take you to the doctor. I quickly stood up.
"In this barren mountain, where to find the doctor, even if I find it, I am afraid that I will die. ”
I thought so, but I still said, "Even if I fight for my life, I have to save you." ”
"Duan Gongzi, are you so good to me?" her tone was soft and watery, and she didn't know if she was injured and didn't have much strength.
"You helped me, and I was entrusted by Senior Xu, so I naturally want to be good to you. ”
"Is that because that's the case?" she sighed, as if blowing a river of spring water.
I ...... "I really don't know what to say." Fortunately, she didn't ask, but asked, "Are you really willing to sacrifice your life to save me?"
"Of course, the eldest husband is hard to chase after him. I patted my chest.
"Okay, Duan Gongzi, I was slapped by Zhang Rang's old horseman, which shook my heart. If there is no famous doctor to treat the symptoms, I am afraid it will not last for ten days. ”
"Do you know where there are famous doctors?" I said urgently.
"Not far from here, is the Mo family's organ city. If we can go to the Organ City, maybe the Mo family can see my father's face and heal me. ”
"The Mo family?" "There is still a Mo family in this world, but I am puzzled, "Is it the Mo family among the hundred sons?"
"Well, they've been around for hundreds of years. But the Mo family has no quarrel with the world, and it has been peaceful years over the years, so they have long stopped asking about the world and lived in seclusion here. ”
"I remember that there was a big official surnamed Dong in the Han Dynasty, who once proposed 'deposing a hundred schools and respecting Confucianism alone', isn't that so?"
"Hmph, how can the hundred schools of thought be deposed by the imperial court? I often heard my father say that everyone represents a certain force and class. Just like Confucianism and Legalism represent the powerful, farmers represent the common people, and Taoism represents the scholars, in this world, people's hearts are complex, and the hundreds of schools of thought are still there no matter what era they are, but they may not be so vigorous. ”
Since I came here, I have never heard of such an esoteric truth, and of course I don't seem to understand it. Next, she introduced me to the basic ideas of the Hundred Schools of Thought, as well as some basic knowledge of the Mo family that I was going to go to, and I wrote them down one by one.
"This world is in chaos, isn't it going to be revived again?" I seemed to be very interested in this matter.
"Yes, after hundreds of years of stability, there is no peace anymore. Xu Qianxue said. She smiled, like the snow was about to melt all winter, "Duan Gongzi, don't worry about the country and the people, I'm already hungry, can you find something to eat?"
When she said this, my stomach also "gurgled". I held the treasure knife in my hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll try my luck and see if I can find a bear." ”
