Chapter 11 two

It was already the early morning of the next day when Aya returned to the small tent where he and Shanai lived.She reined in her mount and saw Shanai staggering out of the tent.It was probably because the medicine she gave Shana was too harsh. After Shana had been in a coma for twelve hours, his legs were still weak and he couldn't see clearly. Aya didn't call Shanai, and carried Timur into the tent, and put it where Shanai had slept. "What's the matter? What's the matter?" Shana asked after chasing Aya, apparently, he still hadn't figured out what happened in his vague consciousness.

Aya didn't have time to answer him, she lit the oil lamp and carefully checked Timur's injuries. Timur's right leg was severely broken by something like a stick, the little finger and ring finger of his right hand were cut off, and there was a knife wound on his chest and back.A knife wound was very close to the heart, and it was a blessing that Timur survived, but she had no idea whether Timur would survive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If this is Jieshi City or Tiemen Village, she can invite the best local doctor for Timur.But this is the territory of Sistan, if she asks for a doctor, the three of them may not even survive tomorrow.

what can we do about it?Up to now, a dead horse can only be treated as a living horse doctor. Aya tore off Timur's skirt and washed his wound with wine.Aya's half jar of spirits was brought all the way from Jieshi City to Sistan. Usually, when Timur came to visit her and Shanai, he liked to eat roast lamb with Shanai and drink in big bowls. They had already drank several altars, and only this precious half altar was left.Shanai watched Aya's actions from the side, and many things slowly came back to his mind. "Aya." Shanai's voice was no longer so vague. Aya didn't even raise her head: "Sha Nai, come and help me."

Shanai squatted beside Timur and checked Timur's wound again.His brows were slightly frowned, and the expression on his face was very focused and serious.He didn't ask silly questions like "what the hell happened?" He knew exactly what happened.Even if his heart was full of guilt, complaining that he did not die with his brothers, he would not say it to Aya.For the first time, Aya realized that there is actually something very strong in Shana's bones. Her Shana is a real man, worthy of her entrustment for life. Shanai used to hunt with his grandfather when he was young, and learned some native methods for treating bruises from his grandfather.While Aya was cleaning Timur's wound, he connected Timur's broken leg.As for Timur's severed two fingers, he could only bandage them up.

After Aya and Shanai finished everything they could do, Aya rested his head on Shanai's shoulder and fell asleep exhausted. In the early morning, Aya was awakened not by the glare of the light but by the sound of two men's conversations. "Longevity bless you! Timur, you survived." "Of course, I'm too fated to die." When she opened her eyes, she met Timur staring at her. Timur's eyes were as bright as before. "Are you awake, Timur?" Aya was surprised and delighted. "I'm all right." "Really?" "Really. Aya, I think, you should be the one who carried me out of the pile of dead people?"

"is her." "I feel that way." "Timur." "What's the matter?" "Sorry." "Is it because you didn't die with your brethren?" "I……" "Timer, it's all my fault if you don't blame Shana. I gave him medicine." "What medicine?" "Pharmaceuticals to make him sleepy." "I guessed it. You didn't come to the assembly in the morning. Some people said that they saw you slipping out when it was dark. I guessed what happened later. I have to say, thank you, Aya." "Thank me?"

"Do you think that because of my mistake, I would be happy to send my brothers to die? Your trick made Shanai survive, and I still have at least one good friend by my side, no, two good friends, how could I Don’t feel lucky about it! Besides, after all, you didn’t give up on me, and carried me all the way out of the dead.” "I didn't know you were still alive. At that time, I just thought, even if you died, I had to carry you back, or Shanai would blame me for the rest of my life." Timur smiled, the wound felt touched, and he frowned in pain. "Shanai, you change Timur's medicine, I'll try to get a carriage. We can't stay here for a long time, I'm worried that it will be dangerous if we stay for a long time."

"That's right, be careful." "Know." Shanai untied the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Aya: "Take this and find someone who knows how to sell it. It's enough to buy a carriage." "But this jade pendant is not..." "It's okay, my grandfather won't blame me. No matter how precious things are, they are not as important as people." Timur said nothing.He never puts the words of real gratitude on his lips. Aya stayed outside the whole day and didn't come back until it was dark.Shanai didn't dare to leave Timur's side, but her ears were keenly listening to the movement outside.

As soon as Aya parked the carriage in front of the tent, Shanai had already walked out. Shana took Aya back to the tent, glanced at her, and was surprised. Aya who appeared in front of Shanai and Timur was unrecognizable.Her face was bruised and bruised, one eye socket was black, and there was a bloodstain at the corner of her mouth.Her clothes seemed to have been rolled in the mud. The sleeves, collar, and hem were torn in many pieces, and half of the back was exposed. Aya smiled proudly at Shana: "It's done." "What's the matter with you?" Shana asked in distress or anger, not knowing.

"What happened?" Timur also asked. "Hey, don't mention it. I originally wanted to find someone who knows the goods and sell the jade pendant for a good price. Unexpectedly, I ran into a few scoundrels in the city. They recognized me as Chagatai and saw that my jade pendant was valuable. They wanted to snatch it for nothing. Let's go. Where I was willing to accept, I fought with them. They relied on their numbers, and I couldn't beat them, or I wouldn't have suffered so much. Later, thanks to an old Sistan who showed me the way, he passed by and said to me And, they let me go, but the jade pendant was still taken away by them. I am not reconciled. You also know that if we lose the jade pendant, we will not be able to buy a carriage, so I have been quietly following them after they left, I saw They sold the jade pendant, bought more than a dozen jugs of wine in a wine shop, and hired a carriage to transport them out of the city. I followed them, and they came to a tent far away, and unloaded all the wine out of the tent Well, one of them slaughtered a sheep and boiled it in a big pot. Before the meat was cooked, they started drinking. I don’t know how many jars they drank. Anyway, they all passed out in the end, and they were all drunk. Like a pig. I stole their carriage, put their unfinished meat in empty jars, packed their unfinished wine, and drove all the way back. Humph, they deserve it, they have to pay for it tomorrow Carriage, our jade pendant is not for nothing."

Facing Aya's smiling face, Shana didn't know what to say: "You..." "Don't talk too much. Help me carry Timur out. There is food and drink in the car. Let's run away at night. The Sistans will find us if we go late." Timur couldn't move his right leg, and it took Shanai and Aya a lot of effort to get him onto the carriage.Aya took out cold mutton for them to eat and let them drink. She sat in the front and drove the car herself. Shana poked her head out of the car and asked her, "Aya, let me drive the car, come in and eat something." Aya replied: "No, I'm not hungry right now." She said she wasn't hungry, but in fact her mouth hurt and she didn't want to eat. After a while, Shana poked his head out of the car again: "Aya, would you like something to drink?" Shanai's mother-in-law, Aya, has long been used to it. Although it sometimes annoys her, she is very happy in most cases.Anyway, she knew that Shanai loved her and cared for her in every possible way. "Give me something to drink," she replied. Shanai poured a bowl of wine and handed it to her from the carriage. Aya wondered: "Where did you get the bowl?" "There's one in the car." "Hey, these bastards are quite well prepared." While Aya was cursing, she drank while drinking, the wine stabbed the corner of her mouth sorely, so she had to return the wine bowl to Shana. "This wine is not good at all." She made an excuse. "It's okay." Shana said strangely. "Not good." Aya insisted. Timur spoke from the car: "Aya, I will be sweating profusely later, and I will send you a hundred jade pendants made of the best jade from all over the world. How about it?" Aya grinned, but because of the pain, she withdrew her smile again: "Can you sweat profusely?" "Why not?" "You forgot, Genghis Khan's legal code stipulates that only the direct descendants of Genghis Khan can be called sweat, and you are not his direct descendant, how can you call sweat?" "It doesn't matter whether you are called a Khan or not. The important thing is to have the performance and power of the Khan. What I want to do is to be a real Khan, not just have the title of a Khan." "You are quite ambitious." "Which man has no ambition." "Shanai doesn't." "Shanai also has it, but his ambition is different from mine." "I didn't see it. Well, I believe in you, I believe you will be able to have the power of the Great Khan. However, I don't want a hundred jade pendants, I just want you to promise me one condition." "what?" "At any time, don't doubt Shana's loyalty to you." "Don't worry, I will treat heroes as Genghis Khan treats heroes." "You want to be like Genghis Khan?" "Yes, it is my life's goal to rule the world like Genghis Khan." Aya looked back at Timur. She was in a trance for a moment. Timur's face changed.In the bright moonlight, Tamerlane's face really looked a bit like the portrait of Genghis Khan her father enshrined in his yurt. She felt that Timur was passing on a kind of confidence to her, and she smiled in her heart, which was a satisfied smile.In any case, this hurting man with an uncertain future has great ambitions, and just based on this, everything she and Shana have done for him is not in vain.
