MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 41
Since childhood, Shaoshang has been adhering to the concept of 'out of sight, out of mind' far; because, you cannot be invincible.
For example, she knew her parents and a fellow in the same town when she was a child, but she basically stopped contacting her since she went to study abroad; for example, Lou Yao, who witnessed her pulling Qiaomu, hoped that the violent thunder would scare him away forever ; Another example, Master Ling, who has seen her groping under the bridge for a long time - God bless him not to think of the incident of falling from the bridge on the day of the Wanfu Banquet!
However, when Shaoshang counted the casualties of Cheng Mansion, she felt that even if it was to reduce the number, let alone a few more lingering faces, it was enough to marry Jinlan.
The body, and even the intestines that were kicked by the horse's hoofs, were ripped through. The most terrifying thing was that the two guards had been slashed in the face, one had his nose flattened, but he was still alive; the other was stabbed from the left eye to the chin, and the stab wound went deep into the skull, and was dying.
Sang Shi was both sad and worried, and later developed a low-grade fever. Finally, Li Wulang acted thoughtfully and brought the best doctors in the town with him. After the pulse was diagnosed, he immediately set up a pot to decoct medicine. Looking at Sang Shi, who was in a coma and babbling constantly, the housekeepers and servants who came to the house one after another surrounded him and chatted, and Shao Shang suddenly realized that he had to temporarily act as the head of the Cheng family.
Short businessmen should cheer up and carry out the duties of the master—
First send a few seasoned housewives to the thief prisoners to inquire about the whereabouts of the captive handmaids. Then they sent a family general to retrieve the dozens of luggage carts that were left behind along the way they came. The thieves were busy chasing them, and it was estimated that they had not had time to divide the spoils.
The uninjured people set up tents to rest outside the house, and the injured people moved into the house, cut down trees and burned charcoal for the brazier to heat up everywhere. The servants are divided into two groups, one is burying the pot to make rice, the other is boiling water to clean the wound and burning grass ash to stop the bleeding.
He took out more than half of the pocket money given by Father Cheng to the doctor, and told him to send someone quickly to the village to get the medicine for frying. The weather is cold and the ground is freezing, blood loss and trauma, whether there is any injury or not, about everyone has to drink a few bowls of decoction to drive away cold, stop bleeding and eliminate inflammation.
The next step is spiritual comfort.
Young merchants need to go one by one, condolences to the injured, and rewards those who have made merit. Facing the nearly 100 soldiers who fought **** battles all day and night, she really wanted to give a speech like a great leader, saying that the soldiers were full of tears and blood boiled without regrets.
Unfortunately, she can't, all her eloquence skills are lit up in sarcasm and other negative aspects. I can only promise repeatedly that 'the dead and the disabled will take care of their families, and the wounded will be comforted' and so on.
But she also has advantages, that is, she is hard-hearted. The generals and guards have a lot of work to do. They have to set up accounts to collect the corpses and go out to inquire about news. The servants have to manage the kitchen, so they are mostly maids who deal with the injured. There were a few young people who were scared to cry just seeing the **** wounds, no matter how loud the medics shouted and commanded above, they couldn't do anything. Shaoshang passed by and saw it, and asked the maid to tie a loop on her arm, and she started without saying a word.
In this way, the maids were embarrassed and shy when they saw that their daughter-in-law was like this.
After working for a long time, Li Taigong called outside the house, 'Lord Ling is here, please see the lady', Shao Shang hurriedly came out of the house, not to mention the blood on his skirt and robe, two **** The hand seemed to have just come out of the murder scene.
Under the cold sunlight, Ling Budo had skin as white as snow, tall and slender as winter cypress, with a black fur cloak, and stood quietly with the six sword guards around him. In the open space in front of the house, there is an eternal beauty like snow in the forest. Shaoshang stood in front of him at a loss, feeling like a pig-killing girl who was rushing to the business progress with a face full of flesh.
The female animals in the healing room all came to life, the girls stopped their lives and climbed the window to peek, and the exclamations and whispers behind Shao Shang were clearly audible - 'She is so handsome', 'Which general is this', 'Like the fairy in the painting'...
Li, she raised her head and continued, "If it hadn't been for Lord Ling's righteous help, I don't know how it would have ended. I don't want to express my gratitude. What will Lord Ling say in the future, the Cheng family will not dare to refuse!" , but the details should be blurred as much as possible, and don't get caught up in the words.
Ling Budo heard 'no thanks for the kindness', and smiled slightly: "Young lady is polite."
Shao Shang has decided to be a mature adult, don't talk back like a child, not to mention there are still many things to ask, now I dare not play my temper, and my tone is more and more respectful : "The little girl's strength is meager, and nothing else can be effective, but I see that there are also wounded under the command of Lord Ling. It's too late for the Lord to march, so you might as well leave the injured soldiers behind, and the Cheng family will take good care of them. I have just prepared the two largest rooms. In the empty house, there are charcoal basins, hot water, wound medicine and human hands, which can be used by the injured soldiers." He raised his arm and pointed to the two houses behind him on the left. This is the most intimate way of repaying her gratitude she can think of so far.
Li Taigong nodded again and again, and said, "Young lady, this proposal is very good, Master Ling, look..."
Ling Budo has not spoken yet, but a juvenile guard beside him with a square chin has already interjected: "Young lord, the injury can't be delayed any longer, it's better to go to the house to heal..." He didn't finish his voice. , Another slightly older guard also said: "Young lord, although Liang Qiufei spoke recklessly, he was right. The injury can't be delayed any longer."
Only then did Shao Shang discover that the elderly guard had an arrow stuck in his left arm. She hurriedly said eagerly: "This guard's injury is not serious, hurry into the room to heal."
The old guard had a worried expression, and after hearing the words, he looked at Shaoshang in astonishment. Ling Budo pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and then walked towards the empty room.
Shao Shang was stunned for a moment, couldn't he believe in handing over the injured to the Cheng family? Would you like to visit in person? She turned around and said with an apologetic smile: "Don't worry, my lord, the Cheng family will take good care of the wounded soldiers!"
The young man named Liang Qiufei was anxious: "You...!"
Ling Budo didn't say a word, raised his left arm and lifted the animal hair cloak to one side, only to see a black woven gold brocade under the jet-black shoulder armor shaped like a tiger's tooth and a lion's head. The shaft of a broken arrow, the blood stains have already coagulated.
Young businessman choked.
Li Wulang on the side shouted in response to the situation: "Oh, Master Ling, you are injured, how long has it been, hurry up, hurry up and invite the doctor who just arrived, he is My hometown is the best at treating sword wounds!"
Shao Shang turned away silently, raised his hand to make a request for an extension - well, you are considered a casualty.
Ling Budo paused for a while, looked sideways, the girl's sleeves were **** by the loops, and when she raised her hand, she revealed a pink tooted snow-white forearm, only two inches between her wrists She is wide, her skin is lustrous and soft, and she is very cute.
After thinking about it, he stepped into the room again.
Go inside the house.
The two maids next to her finally couldn't stand it anymore, one said, "Miss, you'd better wash before entering." The other hurriedly brought hot water and soap horns.
Shao Shang secretly sighed that his busy head was numb, he washed his hands with a wry smile, and then hurried into the room, the two maids hurried to catch up.
The empty house was baked warm and dry, and everyone took off their fur coats. Another guard with a scar on his face led several soldiers to inspect the house and put them on the Four Mazas. Ling Buxuan sat high, the Li family father and son sat on the left two, and the right one was obviously reserved for the young businessman who temporarily acted as the head of the family.
When Shao Shang went in, he saw Medic Cheng and the sword-scarred guard standing behind Ling Budo, carefully removing his cloak and shoulder armor, and then the breastplate and robe. After that is the middle clothes and underwear, showing the white shoulders...
Shao Shang was a little embarrassed and wanted to turn her head and leave. Who knows, from the Wu maid by her side to the Li family's father and son, she didn't feel anything wrong - also, she just saw the light in the healing room Bare arms and legs are not twenty or eighteen.
Since everyone doesn't mind, what else does she mind, she has seen it all.
The father and son of the Li family had already left their seats, and they approached Ling Budo to look at the arrow wound, and Shaoshang followed Taigong Li honestly, leaning his neck to look around. When the healer removed the cloth tape covering the wound, everyone took a deep breath—
A thick arrowhead with rust was ferociously exposed two inches on the left side of the back scapula, and a circle of black and red was condensed around the arrow wound, obviously it had been a while.
The best narrator Li Wulang exclaimed: "Oh, how long has Mr. Ling been injured?! Why don't you treat it immediately! This injury is getting worse and worse!"
The young guard named Liang Qiufei said both proudly and indignantly: "In order to suppress the bandits, we have not rested for two days and two nights, how can we heal the wounds?! When I was free for a while, who knew that I met you halfway, crying and begging our young master to save your father, isn't this still hitting now?!"
The scarred guard said solemnly: "A Fei, don't be rude."
Understanding the meaning of the words, Shaoshang's ears twitched, and he slowly moved a few inches behind Taigong Li. Unexpectedly, when Li Taigong heard the words, he stepped forward a few steps excitedly, completely exposing the girl behind him.
The old man was excited, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Lord Ling is righteous! I thank you old man here! In the future, whenever you send me, my hometown will not help!"
These words are similar to what Shao Shang said, but Taigong Li is the head of the family, the patriarch, or the third old man in the village. These words speak loudly and are undoubtedly more reliable than Shaoshang.
So, Shaoshang nodded her head lower, I hope everyone will not notice her.
Ling Budo glanced at the girl indistinctly, smiled and said, "Don't be like this, old man. If you talk about Gao Yi, the old man is the righteous Gao Hongyu. For the sake of an exhortation, he just accompanies Cheng Cheng. Women and children are in such a dangerous situation."
Shao Shang was unhappy at first, and then felt as if, as if, as if… there was nothing wrong with this. Li Taigong can send someone to go around to ask for help, and naturally he can escape on his own, but the old man has been insisting on not leaving.
She was not only grateful for Taigong Li's righteousness to the Cheng family, but also unwilling to admit that he was a drag, she hesitantly said: "That...Uncle said that Taigong Li is his own family, and uncle will slowly repay the kindness. , the two of them have been around for a long time..."
These words are very decent, Li Taigong laughed loudly: "The female son said it well! The two families are close, so what kind of kindness is not kind!"
Shao Shang lowered his head and gave a compliment to his wit.
Ling Budo glanced at her and said lightly, "Pull the arrow."
As soon as these words came out, the Li family father and son and Shaoshang immediately held their breaths and hung their necks to watch. Who would have thought that the healer was sweating profusely, but still couldn't pull out the broken arrow.
It turned out that Ling Budo was in an emergency when he hit the arrow. In order not to disturb the morale of the army, he broke the tail of the arrow by himself, leaving only the length of the palm-width arrow shaft, and covered it with battle armor and a cloak. Then draw the arrow to heal.
I didn't know that the arrow that pierced through the shoulder only exposed less than half an inch of the skin, and even the shaft of the arrow was stuck in the flesh. There is a certain degree of adhesion between the arrow shaft and the flesh and blood, so the doctor can't pull it out no matter what.
"Why not use pliers?" Li Wulang said.
The doctor sighed and raised the broken small iron pliers in his hand. A country doctor like him can at most pull a few thorns into the flesh of the wounded, how can such a powerful iron arrow be bitten.
There are only two options.
But the former is too time-consuming to return to the military camp immediately or to call the military doctor quickly; for the latter, Ling Budo has to suffer twice.
Ling Budo didn't hesitate, and immediately said, "A Fei, take an arrow for your brother."
Liang Qiufei pulled out a feather arrow from behind, and handed it to the scarred guard beside him tremblingly: "Young master, you can endure the pain!"
Ling Budo ignored him and looked to the side, the girl in the blood-stained linen stood there blankly, with her right hand supporting her left elbow and her left palm supporting a small white and tender girl The chin, like a child, tilted his head and bit his lip, wondering what he was thinking.
He looked at the girl for a long time, and the Li family and all the guards fell silent. Only then did Shao Shang realize that everyone was looking at him, and he smiled embarrassingly: "The little girl has a strategy, I don't know if it is feasible or not."
Speaking, she took a string of pearl shells hidden in her arms from her neck.
Dozens of beaded shells are hanging under the neck rope, and they are colorful when shaken slightly. shape. When shaken slightly, the 现现 is crisp and full of brilliance.
Shao Shang took out the dagger and cut the neck rope, carefully poured the pearl shell into the pocket, only took the neck rope in his hand, and walked towards Ling Budo. Only then did everyone notice that the neck rope seemed to be made of several thin threads.
Others were still puzzled, but Ling Budo knew what he meant and smiled: "Is this rope strong?"
Shao Shang hurriedly said: "I made it by hand, it's very solid!"
It was raining heavily that day, and it was wet and cold outside. She and Wan Qiqi hid under the porch and panicked, so they found many golden threads of different colors from the bottom of the press box even iron wire. She taught Wan Qiqi to weave bracelets and cross knots, and the rest would weave long neck ropes to string bead shells.
She remembered clearly, three flexible vermilion brocade threads, three black iron threads, and a shiny gold thread, which could even lift heavy pedestals and tables.
Shaoshang stood behind Ling Budo, and carefully embedded the neck rope into the flesh with his slender fingers, hooking it under the cluster of rusty arrows. She didn't dare to use force, she could only insert a little bit. Due to the proximity, the drawbacks are full of blood and rust, and the line of sight can't help but expand.
But Shao Shang knew that his physical strength was amazing, his arms were like a male model, and just now he even split the bandit leader with a knife in half.
After watching it for a while, I realized that my face was a little hot, and I quickly moved my face away. The two-dimensional one really can't compare with the three-dimensional vivid color.
Ling Budo felt itchy breathing on the back of his neck, and suddenly turned his head and said, "Is that pearl a gift from my sweetheart?"
Who knows Shaoshang sighed: "It would be great."
Ling did not doubt look at her for a while, then turned around and hummed.
The pearl shells were collected by Wan Eqi outside. The two girls grinded them into various interesting shapes, and then strung them into necklaces, one for each person. Thinking about it now, if Wan Qiqi was a man, she would definitely marry. I don't dare to say that it is a fairy couple, but it is more than enough to be a husband and wife of a wolf, a tiger, a leopard and a thief. How perfect that would be!
"The hook is done..." Shao Shang breathed a sigh of relief, she felt that the hook was very firm, and now she just needs to pull the neck rope and pull out the broken arrow.
Liang Qiufei couldn't help but said, "What if the cluster of arrows falls off and only one arrow is pulled out?"
Everyone laughed. Only then did Liang Qiufei think that if there is no arrow, the shaft can be pulled out directly from the front, and his face flushed.
Shao Shang was also very happy, but suddenly his right hand felt cold, but he saw Ling Budo pull his palm and wrap a snow-white brocade on it. Liang Qiufei wanted to come forward to pull the arrow, but was grabbed by his brother behind him.
Ling Budo looked at the girl and smiled: "Be careful, don't hurt your hand."
Shao Shang was stunned for a moment, then nodded. In fact, she wanted to say that she didn't plan to draw arrows herself; she was a skilled worker and didn't do manual labor. However, seeing Master Li's still puzzled look, Shao Shang felt that maybe others might not understand, and he had to be a good person to the end.
strength. With the sound of sticky Zira, the broken arrow that had been dyed red and black was finally pulled out, and then the man's strong back tendons shrank rapidly, the coagulated wound ruptured again, and a thin blood flowed along the white slender His back slowly flowed down.
Shao Shang was taken aback by the amount of blood and let out a soft "ah".
Ling Budo turned around, looked at the girl and said, "Does your hand hurt?"
Shao Shang shook his head quickly: "My hand doesn't hurt. Does it hurt?" The wound on your back is about to become a **** hole!
Ling Budo smiled, and in an instant it was as beautiful as the melting of winter snow, he said, "I don't feel any pain."
She thought to herself, she has always been too sharp to the world, in fact, there are still many good people in the world.
The next time she sees Yuan Shen and Lou Yao, she will have to be more polite, see how friendly she is to this Master Ling this time. Walking in the rivers and lakes is to form a good relationship, it will be good for yourself and the Cheng family!
The doctor standing at the bottom saw that the broken arrow had been pulled out, and was about to go forward for treatment. Who knew that Ling Budo's right hand on his knee was slightly lifted and shaken, and then he was left and right. The two guards were pinched and unable to move.
The guards, including the lively Liang Qiufei, were all waiting quietly at this time.
In fact, the conversation between Ling Budo and the daughter of the Cheng family is very simple and more normal, but for some reason, Li Wulang always feels that the atmosphere in the room is a little weird, as if it has a strange softness .
He turned to look at his father and said with his eyes: "Father, do you think... it seems...
Taigong Li: Shut up and pretend you didn't see it.
The old man is very fond of it. The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and there are so many people in the house. What's more - Li Taigong looked at the man and woman at the top.
Ling does not doubt that this person is as deep as the sea, he can't see clearly and say it's not good; it's not like the little lady... The old man's heart is happy, either he doesn't understand it at all, or he has the wrong idea.
