One of the female generals of the Yang family

【Chapter 5】The silver needle into the body in the game of life and death

After another long time, Qin Xue was really sleepy, and the person in front of her was still lying on the table and flipping through the books, as if she didn't feel sleepy.Qin Xue turned her body slightly back, leaning her back against the wall, looking at Yang Xun who was annotating something on the book, opening and closing her eyelids occasionally until she fell into a deep sleep.In the dream, she seemed to hear rapid panting, which made her feel a little depressed. When she woke up, she saw Yang Xun, who was already covered in sweat, trembling violently on the bed not far away.

She jumped off the bed and ran to check, only to see Yang Xun clenched his fists, his brows were balled up, as if desperately enduring the pain in his body, his nails dug deep into the flesh, showing that he was in severe pain.

"Military division." Qin Xue shook his body, causing him to raise his eyes slightly, but his whole body was still trembling uncontrollably.

"Military officer, military officer hold on, I'll call the military doctor." Qin Xue was about to get up when he grabbed her arm and shook her head vigorously.Qin Xue didn't know why he had to hide it when he was so uncomfortable.Naihe was held tightly by him and couldn't leave, so he had to lean on his side again and comforted him: "Okay, I won't go."

Hearing what she said, Yang Xun slowly let go of his hand, and the shaking of his body eased a lot. After a long time, he finally recovered his calm.Panting heavily, he looked at the tea cup on the side, and was about to raise his hand to take it, but Qin Xue handed it to his mouth first, and said softly, "Military master drinks tea."

Yang Xun nodded gratefully, took the teacup and drank it himself, and put it back in person, not intending to bother others, and then said: "Go to sleep, I must have woken you up, if you are not used to it , you can move to another place tomorrow."

Seeing that he was trying to get up, Qin Xue stepped forward to help him, and when he leaned against the wall, she lay down on the side of the bed and looked at him, and said with a smile: "It's because I can't sleep, it has nothing to do with the military division."

Yang Xun looked down at her, with beads of sweat occasionally slipping off his face. Although he looked haggard, his face was extremely beautiful.Seeing Qin Xue staring at him, Yang Xun smiled slightly, "I must be scary looking like this."

Qin Xue stared at his eyes very sincerely, as if she was looking at a strange treasure, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, it's very beautiful, it is very beautiful."

Yang Xun sighed softly, "What's so interesting about a dying person."

Only then did Qin Xue understand that the reason why he didn't want the military doctor here was because he didn't want his family to know that he was dying.Thinking of this, Qin Xue felt inexplicable emotions in her heart. She straightened her back slightly, "They don't know that you are so sick, do they? You don't let the military doctor treat you because you are afraid that they will find out about you soon." She He didn't say anything, but for some reason, there was a look of anxiety on his face.

Yang Xun stared at her current appearance, very strange, "We are not familiar with each other, it's rare that you are willing to worry about me."

"I just think that if you are sick, you need to be treated. Why hide it from them. If your family members know that you are going to die soon, they will still have a chance to say goodbye to you. If you lose you for no reason, you must be very sad." Qin Xue thought of her colleagues. When the family parted suddenly, I regretted not having time to say goodbye in the future.Looking at Yang Xun now, seeing that he hid his illness from his family, he was very dissatisfied with him.No matter what serious illness he has, he should tell his family.

"It's not a disease." Yang Xun said suddenly, "It's poison."

"Poison?" Qin Xue stared at him in confusion.

Yang Xun looked at the lamp in front of him, and said calmly: "Have you heard of 'pine bone'?"

"Daliao's strange poison, 'pine bone'?" Qin Xue was surprised, "This poison has been lost for decades, how did the military master get it?"

Yang Xun stared at her, but didn't answer right away. He was a little puzzled, why he would tell this to the stranger in front of him. Only his parents, brother and army doctor knew about the poisonous 'pine bone' in his body, and he never told anyone else.For some reason today, when he saw the person in front of him, he always felt very close, and he was willing to talk to her about anything.

This kind of feeling made Yang Xun feel very warm and at ease. Looking at the person lying next to his bed and the care projected in that person's eyes always gave him an inexplicable sense of intimacy. It was lost when he was young, and now it reappears, he just wants to hold on tightly.

"I was killed when I was young when I was fighting against the Liao army with my father. That was the first time I went out with the army. I was only nine years old. Who would have thought that they would attack a nine-year-old child. Since that day, I have been There is an inexplicable hatred for the Liao Kingdom, not only because of the poison on their bodies, but more because of their cruelty and unscrupulous methods." Yang Xun seemed to have hatred in his eyes, and when he recalled the past, the unwillingness and melancholy in his eyes were deeply moved by him. Hidden, but the expression on his face is faint.

How could Qin Xue not understand his hatred? Qin Nan was only ten years old when the Liao people tortured him to death. This catastrophe and this tribulation were brought about by her willful actions back then. If she hadn't insisted on bringing Qin Nan out of Zhuangzi, he wouldn't have been sent to Daliao. If she hadn't taught this child not to yield to anyone , Qin Nan might soften his temper and become a qualified slave.Thinking about it now, she would rather have him live like a slave than lose her brother.

Looking at Qin Xue in front of her in a daze, she seemed to have thought of something sad, and there were some tears in her eyes, which she tried hard to control with her fists.Look at the snow-white stand-up collar on her neck that is much higher than others, it doesn't look conspicuous during the day, but it's a bit abrupt when she only wears an inner lining at night.

Yang Xunfang was about to raise his hand to touch her collar, but Qin Xue stood up abruptly, covering her neck with horror in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Yang Xun paused his hands in the air, his face a little embarrassed, "I just feel that in such hot weather, you often hold your neck to remind you that you can put down your collar. The collar is rolled up, it shouldn't be standing up." Yang Xun slowly lowered his hand, feeling that the person in front of him reacted a bit too aggressively, but couldn't figure out why.

"It's okay, I just feel safe with the collar close to my neck." Qin Xue squeezed out a smile, and looked up at the embarrassed Yang Xun, "If the military master has nothing else to do, I'll go to sleep."

Yang Xun closed his eyes and nodded, watching her approach the bed and fall asleep sideways.

Qin Xue turned her back to the person behind her, and touched the collar of her neck with her hands. She was flustered. If she hadn't noticed Yang Xun's hand reaching out in time, and he saw that she didn't have an Adam's apple, she would definitely know her daughter's body. Then, You can't stay in the barracks.She let out a sigh of relief, and listened to the person in the room who was already breathing steadily, and understood why he refused to sleep for a long time and wanted to read until late at night. It turned out that there is a kind of person in the world who is afraid of falling asleep and afraid of the night.

Seeing the scene just now, Qin Xue couldn't fall asleep no matter what, how terrible is the 'pine bone', who can torture a person to this point, and who is so cruel, to poison a child so that he cannot practice martial arts for life Haunting.It can be seen how much the Liao people hated the Yang family and how much they wanted to put them to death.

A sudden wind blew up outside the tent, whistling.Qin Xue adjusted her posture, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, and secretly narrowed her eyes into a slit, staring at Yang Xun who was still sitting on the bed. He was looking at the dark night through the window of the camp tent, listening to the howling wind, thinking something What.The shadow of the lamp from far away hit his face, flickering on and off, reflecting his handsome face with sharp edges and corners.

Staring at the man with a rough fate in front of her, Qin Xue seems to have found a soul similar to her own in the world. Although the past is different, she has the same heartache and helplessness, suffering and must live.She never knew that God arranged such a person for her. Looking at his current appearance, the painful past that she thought she would never get rid of, turned out to be so insignificant.At least, when she was in the most painful time, a man named Yeluquan accompanied her and protected her.But the person in front of him can only bear it alone. When he is in pain, there is no one to hug him.

Feeling that her eyelids were getting heavier, Qin Xue slowly fell into a deep sleep. In the dream, it was her past in Daliao, where she was stripped of her clothes in public, and had cow dung and horse dung poured on her for fun, and was used by a big lady. He went shopping while being led by the neck by a rope, and was stabbed in the body with a sharpened wooden sword by the young son of a rich family, leaving two latent scars on his back and waist.

In the dream, Yeluquan broke into her while she was washing the cow's blood, holding a machete in his hand, and asked her who did it.That was the first time she cried, not because of grievances, but because she saw the anxious and angry look on that person's face, and knew that in such a cold place, there was someone who was willing to give her warmth, someone who was willing to stand up for her .

In the dream, Yeluquan held her hand tightly and led her into the market. There were discussions all around and they were pointing behind them. A silver hairpin from the stall compared her head, shook her head dissatisfied, and dragged her to the best restaurant in Daliao, where she ate the best dried tripe in Daliao.

"Qin Feng." A familiar voice broke into the dream, causing Qin Xue to open his eyes suddenly.

"Let you take care of my third brother, but you sleep in here." Yang Shun sat beside her and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I sent someone to Jiamu Town to find out where Baili Yu was. Now there is news, it's time to show your skills arrive."

Qin Xue rubbed her eyes, looked at the bright sky through the rolled up curtain, and sighed softly, "Xu Jiu is going to be angry with me again."

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to explain to him."

"Really." Qin Xue regained her spirits immediately. Seeing Yang Shun nodding with a smile, she suddenly fell back to sleep, "Xiaoshi is right, it is really not enough sleep."

"I'm helping you, I want you to do business, not to sleep." Yang Shun pulled her up, "Don't forget, your companions are at the gate of hell."

Qin Xue hurriedly stood up, slapped her head and said, "Yes, finding Bailiyu is a big deal, wait a minute, I'll put on my clothes." As she spoke, she put on the general uniform on her body in a hurry, but was pulled away by Yang Shun Next, in surprise, he saw a white shirt handed over by him, which is convenient for going out, and accepted it with an embarrassed smile.

At the foot of Jiamu Mountain, there stands a thatched cottage. Looking from the outside to the inside, many places have collapsed, and only one cottage seems to have been simply repaired.Two people dressed in white walked into the house, only to see a clean bed and the utensils for grinding medicine on the table, but no one was there.Yang Shun brushed the table with his fingertips, but found no dust, thinking that the resident just went out and did not leave.

Qin Xue saw a bright yellow bead flower beside the pillow, it was a rare four-petaled flower.

"Do you recognize this flower?" Seeing her staring at the bead flower in a daze, Yang Shun walked over and took the flower in his hand.

Qin Xue pretended not to know, shook her head, and kept her eyes fixed on the flowers.

"It's not surprising that you haven't seen it before. This is a bead flower. It is a flower seed cultivated in Xunguzhuang, and it cannot bloom in other places."

Hearing the name of Xungu Zhuang, Qin Xue pulled a forced smile from the corner of her mouth, and moved her eyes to the medicinal herbs beside her, fearing that Yang Shun would notice her unstable emotions, so she hurriedly hid them.

Yang Shun didn't care about her flickering eyes at the moment, and continued: "This flower should have just been obtained not long ago, and it hasn't completely decayed. I don't know what Bailiyu went to Xungu Village for. Could it be that someone inside was sick, and the He invited."

Qin Xue moved to a large vat in the house, and lifted the wooden cover covering the mouth of the vat. The inside was empty, and a small insect quickly crawled out following the bright light cast on it.A teardrop fell on the place where the bug had just crawled away, Qin Xue covered the wooden cover again, turned her back to Yang Shun and did not turn around.

Footsteps came from the courtyard, getting closer.While Yang Shun was walking towards the door, Qin Xue quickly wiped the corners of her moist eyes, and walked towards Shengxiang together with him.Baili Yu, who was dressed in light white, pushed the door and entered, just bumping into the two people who came out facing each other, with a slight daze on his face.Looking at Qin Xue who looked familiar again, he was not surprised, nor did he say hello to her.Instead, he looked at Yang Shun and said, "The fourth son of the Yang family?"

"Exactly." Yang Shun cupped his hands and saluted, "My servant is Yang Shun."

Bai Liyu stepped into the house, put the basket of herbs picked in his hand on the table, still did not speak to Qin Xue, but continued to ask Yang Shun, "I don't know why the fourth son is looking for me?"

"Looking for Mr. is naturally a matter of curing diseases and saving lives." Yang Shun walked to his side, stared at him and began to organize the items on the table, thinking that he had the intention of leaving again.

"Let's look for it next year, this year's three are enough."

Just as Bailiyu finished speaking, Qin Xue looked at the pearl flower that Yang Shun had put back next to the pillow, and suddenly said, "Who was given to Xunguzhuang for the first diagnosis and treatment this year?"

Only then did Baili Yu go to see her, and said calmly, "Villa Master, Qin Han."

Qin Xue seemed to ask something more, but Yang Shun stood aside, she stopped talking, her hands were tightly clutching the cloth, her thoughts were confused.

"What's wrong with Qin Han?" Yang Shun asked unexpectedly.

Bai Liyu looked up at him, "I forgot, the Fourth Young Master has some friendship with Xunguzhuang." He walked to the bed, continued to organize his belongings, and replied lightly: "When you are old, your body is no longer strong. Chang Yu couldn't afford to be seriously ill, I prescribed a prescription for him, and he was fine after drinking it."

Yang Shun nodded and looked at Qin Xue, who was stunned, not knowing why her sudden change of mood, so he had to beg Bailiyu alone: ​​"I heard that the master is a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, and now there is a plague in the Yang family army, please help me, sir. "

"I never make an exception, please come back, Fourth Young Master." Bai Liyu had already packed up his belongings, and was about to turn around as he stepped onto the medical box, when Qin Xue suddenly stood in front of him, with no emotion on his face.

"If I can bear the five injections, sir, can you accompany us to the military camp? Those people don't need to be rescued by him himself, but only need to be referred to a military doctor. In this way, sir is not an exception." Her eyes were complicated, and occasionally There was a sense of fear.

"Five needles?" Baili Yulang laughed, "The Prince of Liao Kingdom begged me to make an exception for the Empress Dowager Xiao, and he only dared to ask for four needles, and he fainted before receiving three needles. Are the silver needles for embroidery?" When he bypassed Qin Xue and wanted to continue walking, Yang Shun ran up to stop him, "Although I don't know what you are referring to, but these five needles can be tried on me. "

Bailiyu showed displeasure on his face, "Do you really think I am an embroiderer?"

"Sir." Qin Xue turned around with firm eyes, "Sir will definitely want to use me to test the needle." She walked to Bailiyu's side and whispered in his ear, and Bailiyu's eyes shone brightly, looking When looking at her, he took a look.Then he lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then nodded and said: "Okay, if the little brother can survive my four injections, I will tell the military doctor how to save him."

"Five needles, I want my husband to make an oath. If the military doctor can't do what you want, I will treat you personally." Qin Xue's expression at the moment was that of a dying person, and her voice was cold.

Bai Liyu didn't agree immediately, looked at the thin figure in front of him, then looked at Yang Shun who was staring at them with a frown, and said: "Then I also want an oath from the fourth son, if the little brother can't survive five years Needle, the Yang family is not allowed to embarrass me."

Qin Xue turned to look at Yang Shun, Fang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yang Shun, "Sir, you should use me, my brother is not strong enough, I'm afraid it won't work."

Bai Liyu was very satisfied with Qin Xue's body, shook his head and said, "No need to persuade, I have already decided to use your brother."

Just as Yang Shun was about to speak, Qin Xue tugged at his sleeve, shook her head, and said to him, "Please Fourth Young Master buy a clean house for Mr. in the army."

Inside the barracks, white smoke rose from a tent. Qin Xue covered her body with a thin shirt and soaked in a wooden barrel that smelled very strong of medicine. Bai Liyu placed five silver needles of different thicknesses on the table, waiting for half a day Test the needle an hour later.This is the method he read from ancient books that can help prolong life. If silver needles are inserted on the twelve deadly acupuncture points on the body, with proper strength and position, one can prolong life for one year.

Bailiyu didn't ask someone to do this experiment because he wanted to prolong his life, but just wanted to find out the peculiar relationship between the meridians and acupoints of the human body from this secret technique, so as to improve medical theory.It's just that I'm not proficient in this method. When the silver needle penetrates into the dead point of people, I always fail to grasp it well, which makes their life worse than death, painful, and even kills them.Therefore, he has always been looking for willing people to be needled while they are conscious.

Qin Xue was lying on the white sheet, staring at the dome of the tent, recalling some childhood memories that she could still remember, the smile on her father's face when he carried her on the horse for the first time, teaching her archery for the first time The admiration in her eyes at that time, the praise in her mouth when she led her to do business for the first time, and the many days with her father's company, appeared in front of her eyes one after another.

The first needle should go into Qihai acupoint, one inch below the navel, if you are not careful, it will break the qi and blood stasis, and cause the body to malfunction.As for this acupuncture point, Bailiyu tried it no less than a hundred times, and it was handy. Qin Xue received the needle while lying down, and felt no discomfort.

"The girl is the first woman who dared to ask me for a needle. It is really rare for me." Seeing her stiff body, Bai Liyu wanted to distract her from her nervous thoughts.

Qin Xue smiled lightly, but did not speak.

The second needle went into Renzhong acupoint, and just after it was inserted, I felt dizzy.Baili Yu's voice continued, "I can only be sure now that I have seen the girl's female body. I have seen the girl in Daliao. But don't worry, girl, I will not tell you about your disguise as a man."

Qin Xue nodded gratefully, her mind rumbled.

The third needle pierced the Renying acupoint, and she felt dry and hot all over her body, retching, and dizzy. Qin Xue couldn't bear the discomfort like the blood in her whole body retreated, and began to twitch violently.

"How about it, can we continue?" Seeing her pupils widened and her thoughts wandering, Bai Liyu called her loudly. Before she could say 'girl', she was afraid of being heard by people outside the tent, so she had to change her words: " Brother Qin Feng."

Hearing the shouts from inside the tent, Yang Shun was about to carry him in, but was stopped by Yang Xun, who stared at the curtain and said, "If you go in now and break Mr. Baili's rules, Qin Feng's few stitches will be in vain." suffered."

Yang Shun nodded in understanding, not daring to be impulsive again.

There was a shout in the tent, it was Qin Xue screaming heart-piercingly, but her throat was suppressed by the silver needle, her voice was a bit rough, and she couldn't hear the voice of a woman.Yang Shun clenched his fists and began to pace anxiously outside the tent.Yang Tai also stood outside the camp with everyone waiting for the result.

The people from the kitchen arrived together led by Xu Jiu. Everyone had complex expressions and worried eyes. The man who used to bully Qin Xue said regretfully, "Brother Qin is such a hero, yet I laughed at him for his femininity. Damn it."

The other people often satirized him secretly and slandered him openly, and they all lowered their heads in shame.

Xiaoshi wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, sighed and said, "I'm always annoyed with him, he never argues with me. I also laughed at him for being unmanly, and didn't even have the courage to speak back. Now I realize that it's us who Not as good as him."

Everyone nodded in agreement.At the same time, there was another scream, much weaker than before, Qin Xue seemed to have no strength to support, Yang Xun couldn't help taking a step forward, but was stopped by Yang Shun, who shook his head at him.

The author has something to say: Please give more valuable opinions!Bringing Qin Xue to prostrate
