Chapter 86 0086

Judge Zhu Si's coffin is parked in the center of the front hall of the temple. The big black lacquered coffin was donated by an old lady who believed in Buddhism in Yangjiao Town. For him, she donated the birthday material she had prepared for many years for herself.She believed that judge Zhu Si would not suffer from hell after his death, because he found the conscience that he had abandoned for half his life before he died. "Hey, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately!" She said counting the beads. Whether one becomes a Buddha or not is a matter for the world, Judge Zhu Si will not know.His death was widely spread by the people of Giethoorn Town.After his death, the seven or eight hundred guns under his command did not go their separate ways. They were temporarily led by Xiao Xie'er. On the one hand, they were protecting the spirit of their dead leader, and on the other hand, they waited for the seriously injured Guan Baye to recover slightly. When he recovered, he ordered to stop.At least they have died with the four judges once, and they are no longer bandits after resurrection.

Guan Baye, who was lying in the Chinese medicine shop of Xiangshengtang, was awake, but he was awake. When Xiao Xie'er entered the room and told Judge Zhu Si that he had shot Tianting, his pain was deeper than the pain of the wound. "It's all my fault," he said, with tears that didn't flow easily, "I sacrificed myself to save him and make his reputation better, but who would have hurt him instead? I don't know that your boss is so violent?!" "You made him perfect in the same way, but he also made hundreds of our brethren perfect." Xiao Xie'er said, "We have been thieves for many years, who has blood on their hands? Now everyone wants to learn to be a 'human', only Jing Wait for your orders and instruction from Ba Ye....Don't worry too much, the most important thing is to heal your wounds. Take out the bullet first, then apply medicine to adjust breath, and you will recover soon."

"I can't help but think about it," Guan Baye said bitterly, "if your boss dies, he should die in Yanshi, not here, by his own gun... This is exactly where he is too stupid, he If I die like this, the burden on my shoulders will be heavy enough... He intentionally spared my life and let me bear this burden alone, how could I not pick it?! How could I not be in a hurry?!" "It's useless to be anxious, Ba Ye," Xiao Xie'er said, "It's a common saying that a good man is only afraid of illness. Your gunshot wound is worse than that of a sick patient. If you don't follow the steps in the treatment, you will be unable to get out of bed!"

"Remediation returns to...remediation," Guan Baye gasped and said, "There are some things you have to do for me in a hurry. Now I am a wounded person, and my life is still in your palms. I forced you to kill me." Bosses, I don’t have to hesitate about how you should deal with me... Well, even if you can trust me, Guanba, your bosses once said 'no need to force each other', go out and ask them if they are willing to lay down their lives for Yanshi ? Those who want to stay... stay, those who don't want to... let go..." "I'll do it," Xiao Xie'er said, "I wonder if Ba Ye has any orders?"

"Please prepare a piece of paper for me," Guan Baye said, "I have to go to Lie Ling as soon as the bullet is taken out! Please prepare my white saddle for me. I can't delay my trip because of my injury. You You know, Yan... City is a... dangerous... city!" "You want to go on the road with your injuries? Ba Ye, do you need to be in such a hurry to get there?" Xiao Xie'er was stunned and said, "Isn't that right?!..." "Don't worry about me!" Guan Baye said, "That's my order. After I leave, you can gather as many people as you can, and stay in the town for the time being. Listen to my news and then pull south, Chai. Will Jiabao and Wanjialou be willing to pull guns to help Yanshi? It is not certain at the moment, and we will find out after I go.”

Seeing the other's tired face, Xiao Xie'er couldn't bear it, for fear that he would talk too much and waste his energy, she leaned back, closed the door quietly and retreated.And Guan Baye was still muttering alone in the room. He understood his injury. The shoulder injury was not serious. In the bone, even if it is taken out smoothly, the flesh injury is easy to heal, but the bone injury is difficult to heal without a hundred days of rest.How long is one hundred days?If the common sense is used to recuperate and heal the wounds, after a hundred days, Yanshi may become a burning ruin, a cemetery where thousands of people are buried! ...Knowing that this left leg will become disabled when it is resting and not recovering, I don't care about that much. It is not a pity to save Yanshi, let alone one leg? !

Because of this idea, when the Chinese medicine practitioner of Xiangshengtang put the bullet in the plate, and the blood was not dry, Guan Baye stood up and yelled to prepare the horse for him.But although he had an iron mind, he was not born with an iron body. The severe pain of the wound made him fall into a coma. It was not until the day before Judge Zhu Si's funeral that he could barely get out of bed with his stick. "How many days have I been lying down?" Xiao Xie'er counted: "Together with today, it's only been thirteen days. Judging from your injury, it's still not suitable for walking. The doctor said, but if you walk for a hundred days, your tendons and bones will be damaged, and your legs will become disabled." of."

"Ten...three...days," Guan Baye said to himself, with an anxious and sad expression on his face: "Have you got any news about the salt market?" "I once sent someone down to inquire about it," said Xiao Xie'er, "so far the person I sent out has not returned." "You can't keep me in the dark. If you do this, you will harm Yanshi." Guan Baye said, "I see that you are lying! The lie is hidden in your eyes, you can't hide it from me,... ...To tell the truth, what happened to Yanshi?!" Little Xie'er mumbled and lowered his head: "Baye, please forgive me, it's for your legs... The rumors in Yanshi are very tight. The teacher who had been ill before found out that the girl Xiaojuhua was playing tricks in secret. Killed her in the West School Field in a few days. I heard that Sun Chuanfang sent several urgent telegrams repeatedly to destroy Yanshi within a time limit. In the past few days, the Jiangfang Army has already fought with Yanshi on both sides of the east and west! I am not trying to lie, Ba Ye, really Yes... your leg will never heal, and there is no use in haste."

"Prepare the horse for me!" Guan Baye yelled angrily, ignoring what Xiao Xie'er was talking about. Facing Judge Zhu Si's coffin, when he bowed his knees, Guan Baye felt the wound on his leg open again, and blood dripped down the leg of his trousers into the boot, but he bit his tongue and didn't have time to let it go. He took these things into consideration, and in his golden flower Youwu's eyes, he only saw the danger of Yanshi. ...It was already past noon, and it was cloudy and rainy, but he had to get on his horse and rush to Wanjialou on the other side of the reed marsh immediately. , you can rush to Wanjialou.

He didn't ask Xiao Xie'er to send someone to protect him, he got on the horse's back, led the rein and urged the horse to whistle out of the south gate of Yangjiao Town, and steered the horse southward along the low sloping deserted road.Excessive anxiety can't be found. At this moment, Guan Baye is full of emptiness and desolation.Life is as gloomy and cold as the sky in front of you. I don't know how to push through the clouds and mist to find sunshine?Take this desolate road on the West Road as an example. I almost wrote down half my miserable life, the days when I worked for the old Liuhe in a rolling cloud. In the wind of the reed field, I straddled wheat mules and led 16 salt carts through here a few months ago. The trees were surrounded by frost flowers, and the cold wind was biting. In a blink of an eye, the field became green again. brother's grave.Afraid that the grass has grown all over the place? ...That's right, at that time Judge Zhu Si inserted the spikes, and the majestic picture scroll Wanjialou, now it's just lying in a seven-foot coffin, waiting to be buried in the loess.Who knows what kind of changes have taken place in Wanjialou, which has been separated for half a year?It is precisely because the personnel changes are too great, and there are too many unexpected incidents, such as Baoye being killed, Yanshi raising a gun, the four judges drinking bullets, and the Liuhe gang breaking up, which makes me exhausted and exhausted. Although I try my best for the suffering world , who can know the result? !

No matter how sad or gloomy it is, you have to move forward every day you live. More than once, I often use these words to comfort myself. If I can’t walk, I have to move forward!The wound on his left leg was numb with pain, and the leg of his trousers was wet with blood, but Guan Baye still gritted his teeth and scolded the horse. When we return to Dewanjialou, Dayi will have to convince Mr. Ye that Yanshi's action is too important. If all parties work together to defeat the Jiang defense army in one battle, Sun Chuanfang's army will be bitten by the Northern Expedition in the south of the Yangtze River. It is bound to be impossible to mobilize more troops to cross the river. The front and rear are forced from the inside and outside.Although Master Ye is not as shrewd and decisive as Master Bao, he should trust himself, right?What's more, there is a master Zhen who is very congenial with him to help make up his mind.Maybe my refusal to get married at the beginning would make Mrs. Zhen hate myself and Guan Batai for being unreasonable. Now that I think about it carefully, my decision at the time was not wrong at all. Although Miss Hanying is a bit of a man's wild After all, she is the spoiled daughter in the boudoir... Who wouldn't want to have a shelter from the wind and rain, where people can rest from the endless rivers and lakes?Who doesn't want to grab a handful of roots while wandering all year round?But Guan Ba ​​is not that kind of person, and he didn't have that kind of life. He can't drag her down by saying anything. Opening up his heart, what comes out is not tenderness, but blood. The pressure of the world alone has made him breathless. Come on, can you add love tiredness? ... Yanshi is now raging with war, and Guan Ba ​​must die. If the brothers and sisters of Zhenye are discerning, they should understand my intention of refusing the marriage at the beginning. A slight dizzy black wave surged towards his eyes, forcing Guan Baye to hold the reins, put his hand on the judge's head and closed his eyes for a while.After quite a while, Qiangzi lowered his head to look at the wound, not only the trousers were soaked in blood, but also the saddle and the belly of the horse were completely stained red, the short boots were filled with blood, overflowing the boots towards the wound. The outflow was dripping with Qianda's blood all the way. If it continued like this, he might lose too much blood halfway, fall off the horse's back, and die helpless.Thinking of this, Guan Baye couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. He immediately pulled out his stick, cut off the corner of his robe, stretched it up to the wound, and strangled it tightly a few times. He felt that although this could not completely stop the bleeding, it could at least delay the time, so as not to constrict the inside of his body. blood flowed out.After bandaging the wound, he violently knocked one foot on the stirrup and urged the horse to gallop.
