Chapter 41: Forget Each Other in the World
Those people were standing on a not very high hill, but Yun Chu couldn't see them. It wasn't because he was blind, but right in front of him, a group of Turks were beating up Jie Si Ga and his men.
Selaima was protected in the middle by the Sai people, and her condition was not good. Yun Chu also had several arrows stuck in the round shield tied to her back.
Seeing Jie Si Ga being slashed again, this stupid woman actually waved a knife to help.
Yun Chu roared, and with the help of horsepower, he threw the three-meter-long spear in his hand. The spear penetrated the back of a Turk, and then he drew out the Tang sword, connected the handle with the hook on the armor belt, held the handle tightly with both hands, and pressed his elbow against the blade. He crossed with a Turk cavalry from the side. The flail of the Turk cavalry smashed the animal head on the shoulder of Yun Chu's armor, but he held the handle tightly and didn't let go.
The sharp Tang sword cut through the Turkic man's simple leather armor. As the blade cut in, the Turkic man's intestines rushed out of his stomach with a rustling sound. With a panicked scream, he fell headfirst off his horse.
Yun Chu himself was also dizzy from the beating of the flail. His left hand seemed to have no feeling. He had to hold the Tang sword in his right hand and use the power of the chestnut horse to sprint fiercely into another infantryman.
The infantryman could not withstand the impact of a heavy warhorse, and his body flew out immediately.
Selaima saw the back and chest full of feather arrows, and the blood in the mouth and nose, and couldn't help but let out a long scream.
Yun Chu was already at the end of his strength after holding on until this time. His body was swaying on the horse's back and seemed to be about to fall off the horse at any time.
He looked back at the Turkish cavalry that rushed up again, turned his horse to block in front of Selama, turned his head and smiled bitterly at Selama who was close at hand: "Is this the result you want?"
Selama burst into tears, shook his head and couldn't say a word. Yun Chu raised his Tang sword again, ready to welcome the last battle of his life.
Seeing that the Turks were about to rush up, for some reason, they turned their horses around and ran away in a hurry.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" Several feather arrows almost brushed Yun Chu's ears and flew over to catch up with the Turkish cavalry. The black feather arrows were very powerful, penetrating from the back of the Turks and coming out from the front chest.
Then, hundreds of black cavalry surged out from behind Yun Chu, sweeping forward like a tide.
Yun Chu thought for a while, then fell off the back of the bay horse sideways. After confirming that his body was not hurt by the arrows again, he immediately closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and fainted.
"Damn it, I'm already brave enough."
When Yun Chu woke up again, he found himself naked on a cowhide. Someone was using willow water to clean his back. When Selaima, who was curled up in the corner, saw Yun Chu open his eyes, she cheered immediately, but she immediately leaned on Jie Siga, who was also placed in the corner.
Yun Chu sighed. It was really like the sky was going to rain and the mother was going to marry. There was really nothing she could do.
Jiesga's condition didn't look good at all. Half of his arm was broken. A strong man who looked more like a butcher than a doctor had no mercy at all and directly pressed a red-hot iron on Jie Siga's broken arm wound.
"Ah——" Jie Siga screamed, and his originally straight body suddenly jumped back and forth, like a fish thrown ashore.
The doctor who treated Yun Chu's back laughed and said, "What good luck! You were hit by eleven arrows all over your body, all of which were stone arrows. Only six arrows penetrated your armor, and the deepest wound was less than half an inch.
Young man, you really fought your way out of a huge army?"
Yun Chu looked at his limp arm and said, "Doesn't this injury count for you?"
The doctor sneered and said, "It's just a dislocation. I've put a ring on it for you. You'll be back to normal in ten days or half a month."
Yun Chu turned around with his right arm to support his body and looked at the talkative doctor. "Are you the chief physician or the chief physician?"
The doctor curled his lips and said, "I just came to the army, I am just a doctor."
Yun Chu pointed his thumb at his nose and said, "Then come and meet your superior. I am the chief physician of the eighth rank!"
The doctor was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you a palace soldier?"
Yun Chu said angrily, "Have you ever seen such a young palace soldier?"
The doctor apologized repeatedly, but Yun Chu still refused to give in and kept slapping the doctor's head with his right hand...
No one in the tent paid attention to him so domineeringly, which made Yun Chu very sad.
Everyone was embarrassed when he stayed in the tent, so he left the tent with the help of the doctor and went to see his beloved chestnut horse.
After leaving the tent, Yun Chu no longer needed the doctor's support. He took out a bag from his arms, poured out a handful of gold sand and handed it to the doctor, saying, "I'm sorry for wronging you."
The doctor looked at the bag in Yun Chu's hand greedily and said in a low voice, "If the doctor wants that Hu woman, I have plenty of ways."
Yun Chu looked at the doctor without saying anything, and the doctor used his hand as a knife and gestured a cutting motion.
Yun Chu's eyes gradually became cold, and he grabbed the doctor's neck and said, "She is my mother!"
The doctor hurriedly begged for mercy again, and Yun Chu slapped the doctor's head with his intact right hand again. This time he did not hold back and used a lot of strength.
Selaima decided to make the most thorough cut with her son Yun Chu. She knew that Yun Chu beat the doctor just to attract her attention.
When Yun Chu left the tent, her tears flowed again.
The pale-faced Jie Si Ka stroked Sai Laima's face with his remaining right hand and whispered, "You should follow him to Chang'an to live a good life."
Sai Laima wiped away her tears and said, "Without you, how can I have a good life..."
Mi Man, who was also covered with wounds lying next to Jie Si Ka, suddenly said, "There are no good people in the Tang Dynasty."
Sai Laima said angrily, "If it weren't for Yun Chu saving us, you would all be dead now. The Tang people only helped you treat your injuries because of Yun Chu. You should learn to be grateful."
Jiesi Ka glared at Mi Man who wanted to retort, and said to Sai Laima, "The Tang army has arrived. Let's leave immediately and return to Grasshopper Lake to herd sheep and have children. This time, too many of our people were killed and injured."
Yun Chu naturally couldn't hear these words. He leaned on the railing to check the messy butt of the chestnut horse. The child suffered too much today. He was stabbed in the butt and hit by two arrows, one of which almost pierced into the valley.
Yun Chu checked the wound and naturally found that the care for the injured warhorse seemed to be much better than that for the wounded soldiers.
The wound medicine applied on the horse's buttocks was obviously better than that for humans.
Looking up at the flag with the word "Shuai" fluttering in the wind in the distance, Yun Chu knew that his war was really over.
After registering with the groom and receiving a new mare, Yun Chu prepared to go to the battlefield to find He Yuanshan and Liu Xiong who died in the battle.
He had already collected the ashes of five Zhang Gu, and he didn't care about collecting two more. Anyway, these people were all from Chang'an, and it shouldn't be too difficult to send them to their homes.
Riding on the high slope, the Turkic camp remained in the same place, but there were no people.
The Tang army went to pursue the Turks, so the battlefield was empty, and occasionally some ownerless camels could be seen wandering there.
Yun Chu borrowed the warhorse and the talkative doctor.
Camels are the property of the Kucha Daguanling Yamen of the Tang Dynasty. They cannot be given away for nothing by Liang Jianfang and his men.
When Yun Chu walked into the battlefield yesterday, there were as many as a hundred camels following him.
It was not that there were no soldiers who came to stop him, but after hearing that Yun Chu was the last survivor of the Kucha Daguanling Yamen, they no longer cared about his behavior.
When Yun Chu found He Yuanshan, he was lying on the sand with his face up, his eyes wide open, but no longer bright, and covered with a thin layer of dust.
The cool armor on his body was gone, and even the boots on his feet and the inner clothes under the armor were gone. He just lay there with holes and no shame, with his hair scattered like a snake.
Yun Chu split a cowhide tent with a knife, wrapped him up with thick cowhide, found a lot of poles to support the tent and piled them on it, and set fire to the greased cowhide.
When burning cowhide, for some reason, many vultures were attracted. They circled in the sky but were unwilling to land.
Liu Xiong's body was less than a hundred steps away from He Yuanshan. He should have bled to death.
A day and a half had passed, and the blood under his body had not dried yet. He also had no clothes, armor, or shoes. With the help of the doctor, he wrapped the body with cowhide, put wood on it and burned it.
It was impossible to wrap the body in horsehide, because Yun Chu did not find horsehide on the battlefield.
When Yun Chu was squatting in the scorching sun to burn the body, a team of cavalry came. After learning about the incident from the doctor, the leading knight handed Yun Chu a beautiful wine pot on his waist and rode away.
The fire burned for most of the day, and the two people who were still alive a day and a half ago turned into two charred skeletons.
Smash the whole bone with a stone and put it into a cowhide bag with their names on it. Yun Chu was ready to continue walking towards Qiuci City.
The doctor refused, mainly because he had found a lot of good things in the Turkic tents, and he looked like a thief carrying a large cowhide bag.
After the two separated, Yun Chu walked into the still smoky Qiuci City. It was not much different from when he left, except that it was a little darker.
The Daguanling Yamen was still standing at the end of the street in tatters, and the old monkey's house was only a little more black and gray, but also intact.
Yun Chu did not enter the Daguanling Yamen, but returned to the old monkey's house, pushed open the black and gray Hu bed and jumped into the tunnel, but there was nothing inside, no Naha's laughter, nor did he see the old monkey's disgusting old face.
Yun Chu walked to the end of the tunnel and opened the door. The poplar trees there were still standing quietly in the shallow water, and the white clouds were still slowly wandering in the water, exactly the same as when the universe was first created.
