Some people had half of their faces cut off and were wailing non-stop.
Yingbao covered him with Wudingzhi juice with shaking hands, and then bandaged him with cotton cloth.
There were too many seriously injured people like this, and Yingbao used dozens of Wudingzhi plants a day.
Fortunately, the Wudingzhi on the top of his cave was very lush, otherwise it would have been used up.
By the afternoon of the next day, the number of wounded people increased, so Mrs. Zhang asked people to call her two concubines and their children.
She took out some silver and a few patched clothes and gave them to them.
"Take this silver. If the city is captured, put on your clothes and escape."
The two concubines knelt down, crying and shaking their heads, "Madam, we are not going anywhere. We are Zhang family members in life and Zhang family ghosts in death. Madam, you can't drive us away."
The concubine also knelt down and cried, "Mother, we will be with you and my sister in life and death. We are also your daughters. If the city is destroyed, we will follow you until death."
Madam Zhang helped them up and tried to hold back her tears. "In that case, you should go back to your room first. Take these silver and clothes with you. In case... in case the city cannot be defended, I hope you can survive."
The concubine and the concubine left crying.
Mrs. Zhang then called her daughter and eldest daughter-in-law, Cui.
Cui had been pregnant for a short time and looked a little haggard.
Mrs. Zhang asked her to sit down and told them many past events in the capital.
Cui and Zhang Xuehua listened silently without saying a word.
At this time, Yingbao was in the house trying to take her younger brother into the cave.
She took her brother's hand and went in silently.
In a flash, she appeared in the cave. Her brother Jiang Wu was shocked. "What...what is this place?"
"The Immortal Cave." Ying Bao didn't have time to explain to him for the moment. After letting him stay here by himself, she slipped out again.
I went to the next room and found Hu Zi. I grabbed his hand and said, "Close your eyes. I'll take you to a place. Remember, you are not allowed to open your eyes without my consent."
Hu Zi didn't understand, but nodded obediently.
Yingbao recited silently and entered the cave.
I looked towards my hand, but I didn't see Hu Zi.
Yingbao was startled and quickly dodged out, only to see Huzi standing in the middle of the room with his eyes closed, muttering, "Are you done? I'm going to open my eyes!"
Yingbao frowned, grabbed his arm this time, and said, "It's not healed yet, don't open your eyes."
"Oh." Hu Zi closed his eyes obediently.
Yingbao entered the cave again, but Huzi still didn't come in.
That's strange.
Yingbao didn't believe it and tried a few more times, but the same thing happened.
It seems that I really can't bring Hu Zi into the cave.
What should I do
Yingbao was also panicking at this moment.
If Hu Zi cannot be brought into the cave, then that means Madam Zhang and the others cannot either.
I had promised Second Brother that I would save his mother and sister. Isn't this a slap in the face
Hu Zi opened one eye slightly, and seeing his little cousin staring at him anxiously, he quickly closed it again.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now." Yingbao patted Huzi.
Seeing that his little cousin was not angry, Hu Zi chuckled and asked, "Are you asking me to close my eyes because you want me to eat something delicious?"
Yingbao took out an apple from her bag and stuffed it into his hand. "Have a good rest. We have a tough battle tomorrow." After that, she turned and walked out of the house.
Hu Zi asked from behind her: "Where's Jiang Wu?"
Ying Bao didn't even turn her head: "He has something to do, he will be back soon."
After returning to her room, Yingbao entered the cave again.
He found Jiang Wu who was staring at the ball of light and said, "Xiao Wu, don't tell anyone about this when you get out."
"Yeah." Jiang Wu is nine years old and has long known what is important.
His sister had a secret, and there was no way he could tell anyone else.
Yingbao continued, "Father and mother also know that these fields are cultivated by them."
He pointed to several large water tanks beside the pond and said, "Dad has raised a lot of fish. They have all grown to a foot long. There are also shrimps in that tank. We can catch them and eat them soon."
Jiang Wu had already seen the fish and shrimp, and was not interested in them. He raised his hand and pointed at the ball of light: "Sister, I think I've seen that somewhere."
Yingbao looked over and asked: "Where have you seen him before?"
Jiang Wu shook his head: "Forgot."
As soon as he came in and saw the ball of light, he felt it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember why it was familiar.
Yingbao explained to him: "Maybe you think that thing looks like the sun, so you think you have seen it before."
"No." Jiang Wu squinted his eyes and observed carefully, then shook his head and said, "This doesn't look like the sun at all, it looks like a human eyeball."
Yingbao frowned: "Eyeball?"
If you look closely at the pool in the cave, it really does look like a giant eye.
But whose eyes are so big? It must be the eyes of God.
Many myths say that the gods are hundreds of feet tall, able to stand upright, with hands like giant peaks and eyes like the rising sun.
Could it be that I really met a god
No, I guess I picked up a pair of gods' eyes.
It is also possible that this cave is the skull of the god.
Thinking of this, Yingbao couldn't help but shudder.
"Master Lingbao, the ancestor of the Three Pure Ones, I, the disciple Jiang Yingbao, have no intention of offending you. I will never wash my feet in your eyes again."
"Sister, what did you say?" Jiang Wu heard his sister muttering and approached suspiciously: "Where are you washing your feet?"
Yingbao closed her mouth silently.
She took her brother for a stroll in the cave and didn't want to let him out, but Jiang Wu insisted on going out with her.
Because he was afraid alone.
After letting her brother go back to Hu Zi's room, Ying Bao started to worry.
What if I can’t defend the city? How can I save Hu Zi and Madam Zhang
After much thought, there is only one solution, which is to prevent the bandits from invading.
The next day, the battle was already intense.
Many bandits rushed into the city and killed anyone they saw.
For a moment, the people fled in all directions.
But most of them gathered together and fought desperately against the bandits.
Prefect Zhang stood on the city wall, covered in blood, looking at the bandits rushing into the city below, feeling sad.
Can't we hold on in the end
Are all my family members and the people of this city going to die tragically today
He suddenly felt a little regretful that he did not resign.
He caused his wife, daughter and son to die along with him.
"father!"
The eldest son, covered in blood, shouted, "Dad! Help is coming! They are our Daqian army!"
Magistrate Zhang was startled and immediately ran to the parapet and looked down.
I saw a large number of colorful flags fluttering in the wind and rows of cavalry running towards this side.
The word "Zhou" was clearly embroidered on the flag.
There are not only the character Zhou, but also the character Zhong and Xiao.
At this moment, Prefect Zhang couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zhou Wuchang is here!
He really came!
Before this, Prefect Zhang not only sent a letter for help to Lin County, but also sent a letter to Zhou Wuchang with a glimmer of hope, hoping that he could find someone to come for the rescue.
After all, Zhou Wuchang had guarded Jingzhou for more than ten years, and he had subordinates in the surrounding military settlements.
"Brothers! Our reinforcements are coming!"
Brothers Zhang Wen and Zhang Min shouted to the soldiers: "Hold on, the reinforcements are at the city gate!"
The sluggish morale suddenly rose, and the soldiers seemed to be energized, shouting and rushing towards the bandits: "Kill!"
