[Cehua] The wind and rain are like dark

The crowd made a commotion, He Xiaoxiao froze on the spot, Gu Pingcai's words buzzed in his ears.what did he say?Yes, he said he had a heart of stone, a heart of stone.Brother, you have become hard-hearted after staying in the barracks for a long time.The surrounding chaotic voices seemed to be a little farther away, He Xiaoxiao put his hand on his forehead, and called Gu Ping loudly.

"Junior brother! You listen to me! You can't do this, tell someone to come back to Junior Sister Luo—I'll go back to Junior Sister Luo!"

His yell made everyone turn their heads, and someone jumped at his feet. He Xiaoxiao was only looking at Gu Ping, but when he lowered his head, he realized that it was the woman's husband. He subconsciously wanted to get back, but was caught. The person hugged his legs tightly and couldn't move.The man kowtowed while talking, He Xiaoxiao stared at Gu Ping intently, only heard that the other party was crying for help from the experts of Wanhua Valley, as long as he could save the life of the parturient woman, he didn't care about things like male and female defense.

He Xiaoxiao opened his mouth, although he didn't say anything, but in the face of this situation, he is a disciple of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, after all, he firmly believes in the heart of a doctor and his parents, so how can he continue to stop it with a hard heart?What's more, with such a situation, even if he wanted to stop it, he couldn't stop it—the woman who was put on the ground over there suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Gu Ping, who was half squatting in front of her, by the corner of his clothes.Her voice was intermittent, and because of choking and exhausted sobbing, she was particularly shrill in the noise and chaos. Her hands were sweaty, and she tightly grasped the hem of Gu Ping's black clothes.

"I beg... I beg sir... as long as I save the little woman's child... as long as... save... in the next life... be a cow or a horse... repay... Mr. Answer..."

Gu Ping waved his hand silently, and someone around immediately lifted her up and walked into the room.He Xiaoxiao wanted to shout, but his hands and feet were restrained by something, maybe someone was hugging him, maybe he couldn't move for no reason.A group of people flocked to the other side of the medical office, and he couldn't help but follow along.The door was slammed shut, and He Xiaoxiao stood outside the door in a daze for a while, only to be brought back to his senses by the cries and cries separated from the door and the sound of things being moved in the room.He saw people standing around, including Wanhua disciples from the medical office, and some people who brought the woman here.

Whether the woman's husband followed into the house, He Xiaoxiao didn't know.He only saw faces that were obviously haggard and yellow from lack of food.The expressionless one stared at him with frozen eyes, or stared at the door of the room where the cry came from.He Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a chill rushing down from the back of his neck, his whole body shivered cleverly, and involuntarily stepped back, leaning his back against the door panel, and it was Gu Ping who locked the door from the inside.

The situation became very embarrassing, He Xiaoxiao didn't want to leave or stay.His knees were so sore that he couldn't breathe, so he squatted down on the steps and put his arms around his knees.There were endless cries of pain from inside the door, and he could feel several venomous eyes staring directly at his head—probably because he tried to stop him earlier.He Xiaoxiao had no choice but to pretend that he didn't feel it, and the surrounding voices quieted down, only the woman's painful groans and cries intermittently rose and fell.

He didn't mean to deliberately stop his junior brother from saving lives, but the inexplicable chill just now made him feel ominous.It seemed that after Gu Ping did this, something bad was about to happen.His head started to hurt, and the pain was extraordinary. He Xiaoxiao stretched out his fingers and pressed his temples hard, but it didn't have much effect.The surrounding atmosphere was stagnant and heavy, a kind of viscous oppression stuck in everyone's heart, no one even noticed that the woman's moaning and crying had stopped, and there was silence inside.

There was a soft knock on the door, and it was Gu Ping who came out.He Xiaoxiao stood up all of a sudden, but Gu Ping walked towards the crowd as if he couldn't see it.

"I'm sorry, it took too long to deliver it... I'm not skilled in medicine. I saved the lady, but I can't save the child."

There was a murmur of whispers all around, followed by chaotic noises.He Xiaoxiao couldn't see anything else, he walked over step by step, staring at Gu Ping who was left in place by the crowd running towards the house.

"... Junior brother, what did you say?"

"She is short of energy and blood, she has no strength. The baby has been stuck in the womb for too long, and it will die after birth." Gu Ping shook his head, but these words seemed to be a routine response, and he stopped looking at He Xiaoxiao after he finished speaking. , turned around and went to the well to wash his bloody hands.There seemed to be crying in the room, and He Xiaoxiao couldn't care less, so he could only follow Gu Ping step by step.

"A Ping, listen to me, call all the juniors, pack up your things and go to the camp with me, don't delay, junior sisters and the others, I will try to plan."

Gu Ping raised his eyes to look at him, He Xiaoxiao stared at him eagerly, eager to see him nod his head, after waiting for a long time, Gu Ping still said: "Brother, you go back, wait for Junior Sister Luo and the others to come back, Let's discuss and discuss."

"You..." He Xiaoxiao lowered his shoulders dejectedly.The crying sound came from the room one after another, making him panic.Although he felt sorry for the family's loss of a child, he was an ordinary person after all, and right now he cared more about his closest relatives, younger brothers and younger sisters.

Maybe it was because he looked so embarrassed and disappointed, Gu Ping's expression finally became a little loose.

"Brother, I know that you are doing it for our own good, but even though there is a lack of food right now, it won't be to the point where you will starve to death immediately. It won't be too late to go after the sisters and sisters come back. Although the outside is difficult , Waiting for a few more days is still no problem."

He Xiaoxiao had no choice but to say: "...then...the house just now, what should I do?" He seemed to have remembered something, and said anxiously, "Ah Ping, I am not trying to stop you from saving others, and you certainly are not either. I don’t know, since ancient times, there has been absolutely no reason for you to do that just now... You have been staying in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, unlike senior brother who has been out all these years, seeing more people and things than you after all—I am afraid of him The family members are in a critical situation right now, so they say they don’t mind, but it will be bad luck for you in the end. It’s okay if the mother and child are safe, not to mention that the child didn’t survive..."

After hearing this, Gu Ping's expression turned cold again.Seeing this, He Xiaoxiao felt helpless, he knew that this junior had studied medicine in the valley since he was a child, and was not very familiar with the world. He only knew how to cure diseases and save lives, so he didn't think much about it.

Sure enough, Gu Ping said in a cold voice: "She is going to die, how can I not save her? Senior brother is well thought out and thinks that the defense between men and women is more important than life, so what else can I say?"

"...I...I didn't mean that..."

"Brother, let's go back. You don't have to worry about things here, anyway, if someone finds me unlucky in the end, my life and death have nothing to do with my senior."

He Xiaoxiao was speechless, and felt an inexplicable aggrieved lingering in his heart.Gu Ping's temper was a bit too straightforward, and at this time the topic happened to touch on something that Wanhua Xinglin's disciples had believed in all his life, so he didn't have the slightest bit of goodwill. After saving his anger, he couldn't help but said in a cold voice: "Okay, it has nothing to do with me." As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered his purpose of coming here, so he suppressed his anger and said, "When Junior Sister Luo and the others come back, you guys Discuss quickly, the camp is now saying that people will enter, military plans are changing, and there may be other situations soon, don't delay."

Gu Ping didn't raise his head, but said coldly: "Brother, go slowly."

He Xiaoxiao was so angry that he turned around and left, he really didn't want to say a word to this junior who didn't care about priorities.This anger did not subside until he returned to the camp.He Xiaoxiao went back to the house, in order to calm down, he had to sit down and draw.He has been painting the previous painting for a long time, adding a few strokes every day, but he has only been painting the city gate and houses, so far he has not drawn people.There was no one to be seen in the city, and he couldn't think of what kind of situation he should describe.There were so many times that he felt that his painting might be scrapped after all, but in the end he couldn't bear to tear it up, so he had to continue painting stroke by stroke.

On the second day, however, no Wanhua disciples came to the camp to report.He Xiaoxiao thought that maybe they didn't arrange it well, so he didn't rush to urge him, because just like Gu Ping said before, within a few days, it wouldn't be the end of the mountain.But until the third day and the fourth day, there was still no movement.Outside, the Spike Army was still besieging the city, with constant attacks every day, and a lot of new siege equipment was brought in, which made people overwhelmed.From Zhou Shousong to the ordinary soldiers lower than Li Jin, they are too busy to separate themselves every day, let alone take care of these things.

He Xiaoxiao was in a hurry, finally couldn't sit still this day, and finally found some free time, so he wanted to go out of the camp to the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Office to see what happened.As soon as he arrived at the gate of the camp, he wanted to change his badge as usual, but he was stopped.

"Mr. He," the soldier on duty at the camp had long been familiar with him, "You are not allowed to enter or leave two days ago, don't you know?"

"What?" He Xiaoxiao was taken aback, "No entry or exit? What do you mean?"

"Mr. He doesn't know?" The soldiers on duty around him shook their heads repeatedly, "There is a plague in the inner city! General Zhou issued an order two days ago that people in the inner city are not allowed to enter the camp, and people in the camp are absolutely not allowed to enter the camp." Allow to go out, so as not to get sick."

He Xiaoxiao was stunned, he hadn't been out and about in the past few days, and he didn't hear about it.No wonder the juniors and juniors have not moved much these days. I am afraid that even if they find them, they will not be allowed to enter.He Xiaoxiao thought about this, and immediately became anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Then, has any disciple Wanhua from the government medical office been here in the past few days?"

"This..." The soldier on duty had a look of embarrassment on his face, "Mr. He, to tell you the truth, we don't know about this. I heard that the plague in the city came strangely. Many people fell ill within two days. Rumors in the city It's happening everywhere, saying strange things... After General Zhou gave the order, there are several layers of fortification here, and there are several layers outside, and we... don't know if disciple Wanhua has come or not."

He Xiaoxiao thanked him, and turned his head back anxiously. He wanted to ask Zhou Shousong about the situation, but now that the Spike Army was attacking the city, Zhou Shousong definitely didn't have time to pay attention to his own matters. The sudden plague, wouldn't it be even more difficult if the juniors and sisters were outside.He Xiaoxiao had no choice but to endure until night, when the Spike Army's offensive gradually stopped, and then managed to meet Zhou Shousong.

When he came back this time, he was almost in despair.It is true that there is a plague in the city, and it was discovered two days ago. When it was discovered, it was already very serious. There was a shortage of herbs in the city, and there was no way to prevent the epidemic with wormwood. The plague is getting worse.The Spike Army has been besieging the city for a long time, and the life in the camp is not easy. The heat is harsh, and the soldiers deal with the siege every day. Whenever someone is injured, the wound is not easy to heal, and the number of troops is decreasing day by day.The rear did not send troops or food to help, and the entire city has completely become a thing in the pocket of the Spike Army. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before it is conquered.If the plague in the city spread into the camp again at this time, the consequences would be disastrous.

After hearing this, He Xiaoxiao knew that he could no longer justify anything.The military order is like a mountain, if the plague is brought into the camp because of my own thoughts, then I don't know what kind of heinous crime I have committed.It's not that he doesn't understand the principle that the overall situation is the most important thing. If he hears this kind of situation and still insists on his own opinion, let alone Zhou Shousong will not pay attention to him, even he will feel that he is making trouble for no reason.

But if this is the case, what will the younger brothers and younger sisters do?He Xiaoxiao was going crazy with anxiety, and Zhou Shousong didn't have much free time, so he could only comfort him symbolically, saying that if the plague in the city was brought under control, it would depend on the situation to let him go out and bring people in. relax.He Xiaoxiao had no choice but to bid farewell to Zhou Shousong and go back alone in a hurry.He wanted to talk to Li Jin, but a few days before his death, Li Jin's injury was almost healed, so he went to the city immediately, and he had no free time every day, and he hadn't seen him for a long time.

He Xiaoxiao tossed and turned all night, and finally thought about it, and realized that it was useless to be anxious, the military order was like a mountain, and it was impossible for him to go out no matter what.I had to force myself to calm down and wait for a few days before talking.In the early morning of the second day, the Spike Army started to attack the city again, the momentum was even more violent than the previous few days, the city kept carrying the wounded into the camp, the military doctors were overwhelmed, and there was not enough manpower everywhere.He Xiaoxiao was busy walking back and forth, the surroundings were in a hurry, the shouts of killing and attacking in the city continued, he was grabbed by someone, and he yelled for him to go up to the tower to save people, as if one of Zhou Shousong's lieutenants had been injured , but refused to go to the city.He Xiaoxiao wiped the blood off his face, and rushed up the tower together with the two military medical officers. This was his first time going to the city, and it was also the first time he saw the wolf-fanged army outside the city from between the battlements of the tower.

If it was in normal times, he would inevitably feel emotion from the eyes of Danqing's disciples, but in the current situation, there is no room for emotion, the city is full of blood and smoke, and the Spike Army keeps firing arrows, so they have no choice but to stay close to each other. The battlements inside were walking, and the soldiers were chaotic but orderly going back and forth all around.He Xiaoxiao couldn't remember too much anymore. He tied his sleeves up and started to work. He didn't know how long it had passed. He suddenly heard the surroundings quiet down for a while. He looked up and saw all the crossbowmen in front retreated. The Spike Army below also temporarily quieted down, not knowing what was going on.

"...What's going on in front?" He Xiaoxiao suddenly found that the soldier squatting aside was Yao Jun under Li Jin.

"Ah, Mr. He." Yao Jun's face was dirty and he looked very embarrassed, but his eyes were still shining. "Who knows? Sometimes it is common to stop and then fight again. But just now the deputy general ordered, General Zhou asked us to pretend that we ran out of arrows, I don’t know if this is..."

There was a faint commotion under the city, and it was the restless sound of the wolf-fanged soldiers and horses in the distance.An Sijie had been trapped for a long time, but he hadn't seen any results. He was very anxious, and Li Jin and others had made a scene under his nose a while ago, and he might not be far from embarrassment and anger.

An Sijie, the wolf fang general, sat high on his horse and rode out into battle, pacing back and forth in front of the formation beyond the range of the arrows on the city.

"Hey—the city listens!"
