"Thank you, sir. Wake up. It's time to take your medicine."
Ding Er gently helped the weak Xie Dalang up and prepared to give him the medicine himself.
Xie Dalang grabbed his hand and whispered, "I'll do it."
The thin and pale hands were icy cold. The weak breath was so faint that Ding Er's throat choked. He had crawled out of the pile of dead bodies countless times, and it was still a bit unbearable to see Xie Dalang like this.
Thinking of the handsome and almost enchanting eldest son of the Xie family, Xie Yao and Xie Jinnian, and then looking at Mr. Xie now, anyone would feel sorry for him, right
"Thank you, sir. Our general will be here soon. Please hold on a little longer." Ding Er took the empty medicine bowl and whispered comfortingly.
Even he himself knew that these words were weak and powerless. In order to save Lord Xie, Yan Gui gave all the 10,000 troops in the capital to himself and rushed to Pei County first.
He never imagined that a small county like Pei could hide nearly 100,000 soldiers.
The local aristocratic families colluded with the bandits and dared to trap the Yan family army under the pretext of suppressing bandits. This was something Ding Er had never expected.
He thought they were his compatriots and was not prepared to use swords and arrows against them, but the other side thought they were enemies who came to seize their territory and land.
His sword had killed countless enemies and bandits, but he never thought that one day he would have to use it against the common people, the innocent people held hostage by the aristocratic families.
Now General Yan's 10,000 troops are stationed in Pei County, and he, with more than 20 people, finally broke out of the siege to rescue Xie Dalang who was trapped in this remote mountain village.
This mountain area is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is located on the side of the valley and is extremely hidden. It has been nearly seven days since Xie Dalang was brought here by his men, and it has been the third day since Ding Er found him. I don't know when they will be found outside. Who will come first, the enemy or the friend
Ding Er reached out and touched Lord Xie's forehead, which was also cold. He had experienced life and death before, and knew that this was not a good sign. He was extremely anxious: "Lord Xie, there is no doctor or pharmacy in this village. This medicine, this medicine was dug fresh from the mountain by my brothers."
The herbs dug from the mountains are just ordinary herbs for clearing heat, detoxifying and reducing inflammation. They are not the right medicine for the disease. This kind of medicine is basically of little use, but it is better than nothing.
Xie Jinnian shook his head gently: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of death." He took a breath and continued: "I just hope General Yan can know the situation here. These people may rebel if they are forced into a corner."
After saying this series of words, Xie Jinnian's breathing became heavier and his face turned red, which frightened Ding Er. He quickly reached out to help him up and patted him gently on the back.
He didn't dare to use force, for fear that if he used too much strength, he would be in trouble if he couldn't get up after being hit in one breath.
Ding Er put Lord Xie down and said softly, "Lord Xie, don't worry, General Yan will definitely rescue us. If General Yan can't do anything about these colluding officials and bandits, I don't think anyone else can."
"Yeah." Xie Jinnian nodded slightly, feeling as if his soul was being torn away from his body. He thought he probably wouldn't live long.
Seeing Lord Xie frowning in his sleep, Ding Er felt mixed emotions. Lord Xie was just passing by, and General Yan really took over this area. Looking at the current situation, it was probably too difficult.
"Damn it, these people are fighting for their lives to kill the enemy, but they are so cruel to their own people, they are bastards." Ding Er stood at the door, looking at the mountains in the distance and couldn't help cursing.
