Song Xiaobei slowly opened her eyes, and the bloody scene appeared in her mind. Her face was pale, and her eyes were no longer as bright as before.
"Xiaobei, you're awake." Gao Xili asked softly. He regretted it very much. He should not have let the weak woman see such a bloody scene.
"My dear, you're injured. You're bleeding a lot.”
"I'm fine. The man's arm was injured and the stab wasn't deep.”Gao Xili's eyes were red. He smiled and gently stroked her forehead.
"Really?"
Gao Xili nodded.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Three days."
"Dear, I want to drink water."
"Alright, just you wait."
Gao Xili quickly got up and poured a glass of water. He helped Song Xiaobei sit down and let her lean in his arms.
"Where are those people?" Song Xiaobei asked as she drank slowly.
"Buried. They had brought this upon themselves. The military doctor found out that someone had knockout powder on him, which caused the soldiers to be in a daze and lead to what happened later. You brought this upon yourself."
"Dear, I'm a little hungry."
"Alright, wait a moment. I'll bring some porridge over immediately.”
When Song Xiaobei woke up, Gao Xili felt relieved. He opened the door and Song Xiaobei saw Xiao Ming kneeling at the door. She felt strange and asked,""Dear, why did you punish Xiao Ming?"
"I didn't punish him. Xiaobei is unconscious. He was the one who wanted to kneel.”
"How long have you been kneeling?"
"Three days."
"Xiao Ming, get up. If there's a next time, we'll never meet again.”Why did he have to kneel? Wasn't he afraid that his knees would be crippled? Song Xiaobei felt a little helpless and angry, but she didn't know who to be angry at.
"Miss Xie. Xiao Ming got up. Miss, don't be angry.”Xiao Ming was terrified. He hated himself for being reckless. In his heart, Miss was like a noble goddess. He thought that he had given the order, and those who could have survived had all died, so the young miss had fainted. The military doctor also said that he had suffered too much shock and agitation.
That night, Song Xiaobei had a high fever. Gao Xili took care of her all night. Her body temperature only dropped at dawn. Gao Xili asked people to invite all the doctors nearby. Their diagnosis was the same as the military doctor's. He instructed them to discuss countermeasures with the military doctor and take good care of the patient. He was basically waiting by Song Xiaobei's bedside, quietly holding her hand and waiting for her to wake up. King Leng's cold face and cold words made everyone tremble in fear. Fortunately, the military doctors had diagnosed that Song Xiaobei's health had improved, and King Leng's expression softened.
"Xiaobei, it's time for porridge." Gao Xili came in with a bowl of hot porridge.
"Alright, I'll do it myself." Gao Xili wanted to feed her but was rejected. Song Xiaobei ate slowly.
"Xiaobei, take your medicine."
The black medicine made Song Xiaobei shudder. The smell made her nauseous. In modern times, she rarely fell sick, let alone take medicine. Looking at Gao Xili's tired face, although the medicine was very bad, he still forced it down his throat.
Gao Xili saw Song Xiaobei's uncomfortable expression and felt pain in his heart. "The medicine is too bitter. Change the prescription." He instructed the military doctor and hurried out to look for candied fruits.
Song Xiaobei's performance in the epidemic area impressed the military doctor. He quickly discussed with the others and made adjustments to the prescription…
"The medicine this time isn't too bitter. Did the doctor change the prescription?" Song Xiaobei drank another type of medicine, but her stomach did not resist.
"The military doctor will adjust the prescription according to your physical condition at any time.”Gao Xili said as he put a candied fruit in her mouth.
"It tastes good." Song Xiaobei smiled.
Gao Xili was relieved. He realized how precious her smile was.
night
" Ah…" Song Xiaobei woke up from her nightmare. In her dream, she was surrounded by dead people and blood flowed like a river. Gao Xili was covered in blood and stood in a pool of blood.
"Xiaobei, don't be afraid. It's just a dream. I'll stay here with you." Gao Xili heard the news and got up. He hugged her and found that her face was covered in sweat.
"My dear, you're injured. There's blood everywhere." Song Xiaobei muttered to herself.
"Xiaobei, I'm fine. The wound on my back has scabbed over.”Gao Xili held her in his arms and comforted her in a low voice. He wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief and gently hummed her song. An hour later, she slowly fell asleep.
He realized that the clothes on her back were wet. He brought hot water and carefully wiped her face and neck. He closed his eyes and wiped her back and changed her clothes. His fingertips accidentally touched the softness of her chest. At this moment, there was not a single stray thought in his heart. He studied her face and found that it was even smaller than his palm. His heart ached. He asked himself if he had allowed her to leave alone that day, but in the end, he couldn't. He couldn't live without her. He could not see her, but if there was no news from her, he couldn't accept it.
"What's going on?" Gao Xili looked coldly at the military doctor and the doctor. He felt the seriousness of the matter.
"Reporting to wangye, the events of the past few days have caused miss to be greatly stimulated. She has a shadow in her heart and developed a heart disease.”The military doctor was terrified and told him the truth.
"Is there a way?"
"As the saying goes,'Heart disease needs a heart medicine to treat.'I'm incompetent, so I can only prescribe some calming soup.”
"Is it bitter?"
"Bitter, hard to swallow."
"There's no need for that. Everyone, think of another way.”Gao Xili didn't want Song Xiaobei to suffer double torture.
He stood by her bedside and held her hand, feeling as if a knife was stabbing his heart.
Song Xiaobei woke up and looked at Gao Xili, who was dozing off by the bed. She quietly pulled her hand away from his grip and admired the exquisite facial features in front of her. She really could not get tired of looking at this face. She couldn't help but fiddle with her long and dense eyelashes.
Gao Xili's body moved a few times before he woke up.
"Dear, why don't you go back to your room to sleep? It's so uncomfortable to lie by the bed."
"I'm fine." As Gao Xili spoke, he habitually touched her forehead. Her temperature was normal, and he felt slightly relieved.
"Dear, who changed my clothes?" Song Xiaobei woke up and realized that her clothes were different.
"Xiaobei's clothes were wet with sweat, so I changed them," Gao Xili said honestly with a red face. However, I closed my eyes and didn't see anything.”
"Dear, thank you."
Song Xiaobei was very touched by the high and mighty wangye protecting her like this.
The next day, after the two of them had breakfast, Song Xiaobei drank the soup and looked out the window at the clear sky.
"Xiaobei, the weather is good today. I'll take you out for a walk.”
"Alright!"
Song Xiaobei had just walked into the courtyard when her body involuntarily stiffened. Fortunately, she could not see anything on the ground, as if nothing had happened.
It turned out that after the corpses and debris were cleared, the ground was dug up by Xiao Ming and his men, filled up, and pressed down. The traces of blood were also buried, and the house was cleaned up. There were no traces of the thrilling scene in the surroundings.
Gao Xili helped her into the carriage. He hugged her and she leaned against him. Xiao Ming drove the carriage forward slowly.
Suddenly, the car shook and stopped.
"Master, Miss, I'm sorry. Something happened to him on the way." Xiao Ming said. From his tone, he felt like someone who had done something wrong.
Song Xiaobei pulled open the curtain and saw an interesting scene." The few of them surrounded a cat because the cat had a big fish in its mouth.
There were a few fish in the basket of the fish stall next to them, but they were not as big as the one in the cat's mouth. No wonder there were people and cats snatching fish.
Song Xiaobei burst out laughing. The man selling fish was a little unhappy. He turned around and recognized his savior. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Thank you, Miss. Thank you very much. Miss is our village's reborn parents and living Bodhisattva.”
"Big brother, get up quickly. So it's you. Is your body alright?”Song Xiaobei said. She recognized that the man was once a patient of the epidemic area and had even fed him medicine.
"I'm fine. I'm in good health."
There were also a few people on the street who came from the infected area. They all kowtowed to express their gratitude. The cat took the opportunity to escape with the fish in its mouth.
"Big sister, all of you quickly get up. How are the villagers?"
"Miss, we're all fine. Everyone in the village missed Miss. Miss, come and visit when you have time." As the woman spoke, she placed the persimmons in the basket onto the carriage. He then said,"This was picked from my own tree. The taste is not bad. Miss, try it."”
The others also put their things in the car. There were oranges, eggs, and vegetables. The man who sold the fish also wrapped the fish in the basket with leaves and placed them on top.
"Thank you, thank you. I'll definitely go when I have time.”Song Xiaobei smiled happily. She gave the candied fruit that Gao Xili had painstakingly found to the woman and asked her to distribute it to the children in the village.
The carriage carried everyone's wishes and returned home. A smile that he had not seen for a long time appeared on Song Xiaobei's face. Gao Xili was extremely excited.
"Master, I haven't read the letter from the capital two days ago.”Seeing Song Xiaobei return with a smile, Xiao Liang reminded his master softly.
Gao Xili remembered the letter Song Xiaobei received when she was unconscious. He opened the letter and read it. He handed it to Song Xiaobei and said,"Test Xiaobei and see how she's been learning."”
Song Xiaobei read the letter once, and it passed smoothly. "That's great," she said with a smile."Everyone's happy."”
It turned out that Gao Xiqin had become a monk. Before he left, he gave each of his concubines a sum of money for breaking up. The prince inherited the throne. Gao Xili used the medicine he had sent over and his legs began to feel.
"Fifth brother, we're back. I heard that you did something earth-shattering. Xiaobei, why are you here?" Gao Ximeng talked non-stop as soon as he entered the room. If he didn't see Xiao Liang's eyes, he would have poured out all the words in his stomach. He realized that Song Xiaobei had lost a lot of weight, as if a gust of wind could blow her away. Shangguan Yu, who was following behind, also noticed something amiss. The two of them felt uneasy.
"I'm restless and restless. The horse ran a few more steps, and then I arrived here. Here, it's a good thing." As Song Xiaobei spoke, she placed the letter in Gao Ximeng's hands and went back to her room to rest.
"Dear, why did you follow me? I'm fine, go accompany your brother.”Song Xiaobei saw Gao Xili behind her.
"They come here often. The soldiers basically know them. The first time I met you, I returned to the capital from here.”
"It's not the path I took."
"There is a shortcut from Luocheng to Dan Yang. They passed by Jie Yuan Village, but that road was not easy to walk on.”
"Tell me about your childhood and how you chased after girls.”
"Little Seven, Yu, and I have been close since we were young. " When I was young, Little Seven loved to cry, and Yu loved to smile…" Gao Xili recalled the past. When he realized that Song Xiaobei was asleep, he covered her with the blanket and went out. With a heavy expression, he recounted Song Xiaobei's unusual behavior from the moment she left the capital. He reminded his good brother to be careful with his words.
" Little Seven, how's the mall?"
"Four hundred and sixty-seven people died, eighty-nine were heavily injured, and seventy-five were lightly injured. It's 80,000 catties of copper."
"It's indeed an impregnable fortress. Where's Yu?"
"One hundred and twenty-nine dead, sixty-two injured. Killed 2,415 enemies."
The news of success kept coming, but they did not smile. This was the price they had to pay for Song Xiaobei. They were very sad. Gao Xili made some arrangements and waited by Song Xiaobei's bedside, humming a song.
A smile could not be bought with money. She did not expect the villagers to bring her happiness. He asked the guards to send silver to the villagers. Gao Ximeng and Shangguan Yu also followed. They wanted to see the infected area of the past and the paradise of today.
Song Xiaobei did not sleep well and woke up after a while. Xiao Ming brought her lunch-vegetable and meat porridge, steamed eggs, and fish soup.
She smiled and said,"Fortunately, this was not snatched from the cat's mouth."”
Gao Xili and Xiao Ming were amused when they recalled the scene.
" Ah…" At night, Song Xiaobei was still woken up by nightmares.
Gao Xili quickly went to her room and hugged her. Tears streamed down his face, and he felt his heart ache. He felt how useless he was.
Song Xiaobei's cry was like a sword stabbing everyone's heart. They remembered the first time they killed someone. His hands were shaking, his legs were shaking, his opponent had fallen, and he was scared out of his wits. More than two hundred people had fallen in front of her. How could she bear it? Everyone ignored the fact that she was a mortal with flesh and blood, a defenseless and weak woman, and everyone regarded her as an omnipotent god.
Gao Ximeng and Shangguan Yu were shocked and heartbroken. Song Xiaobei used her frail body to support Luo Cheng, but no one could soothe the pain in her heart.
After Song Xiaobei fell asleep again, Gao Xili wondered if her situation would be better if she changed her environment and found something to do. He told his brothers,"Return to the capital at dawn."”
