"you……"
Shen Zhixi was speechless, his eyes fell on the back of Tang Zhouzhong's arrow and he couldn't recover for a long time.
For a long time, there was no movement outside the window.
After confirming that there was no trouble, Tang Zhou turned around and reached out to touch Shen Zhixi. However, Shen Zhixi stepped back to avoid his hand and went behind him to carefully check the injury.
"I'm fine."
Tang Zhou noticed her intention, grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
He hugged her and repeated, "I'm really fine."
But even though he said he was fine, his body couldn't deceive himself. He kept falling, and almost half of his body was pressed against her. She had to use all her strength to hold on.
"You said it's okay, don't you know I'm weak?"
Shen Zhixi's eyes were red, but he spoke calmly, neither crying nor sad, unusually calm.
"It doesn't matter." Tang Zhou still said it was fine, but his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, as if they were about to close at any time. "It will be fine if it doesn't hurt your heart. It will only bleed a little. Don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid."
Shen Zhixi hugged him back, trying to steady his body to prevent him from being crushed.
"I'm not afraid..."
She repeated these three words to remind herself to be firm.
Before, she might have been afraid that Tang Zhou would die and she would not be able to conceive a child, but it was different now. Even without a doctor checking her pulse, she could be roughly sure that she was really pregnant, so she no longer needed Tang Zhou. Boat.
Therefore, even if Tang Zhou was really shot to death by an arrow, she would not be delayed.
"That's good." Tang Zhou hugged her tightly and leaned weakly on her neck, "I knew you wouldn't be afraid. Even in the most stressful situation, you can stay calm. I'm relieved. Just now That is, even if the knife is held at your neck, you can handle it calmly and know what I am going to do, how well we cooperate."
The more he spoke, the weaker his breath became.
"Madam, we have more and more understanding."
But even though his breath was weak, he still kept speaking.
"You don't need to worry about the bodies of these gangsters. I will take care of them. Don't worry, nothing will happen..."
Normally, he doesn't talk much.
But now, he was chattering non-stop.
What he said was correct. There was indeed a tacit understanding between him and her, so Shen Zhixi understood that he was forcing himself not to fall asleep by talking non-stop. He was afraid that she would worry, Afraid of danger, he had to protect her.
"It's no longer safe here. I have to take you home as soon as possible."
"Suzuland, I want to take you home."
"I'll take you...to a peaceful life, a life where you don't have to worry about daily necessities, and where you don't have to be bullied anymore."
"Lily of the Valley... Madam."
“……”
Shen Zhixi closed his eyes tightly, hiding all the turbulent waves in his eyes.
"Okay." She followed Tang Zhou's words and said with a smile: "I'll go back with you, but you have to have a good rest first. If you don't rest, you won't have the energy to take me away. Go to sleep, wake up Let’s make good preparations to go home.”
"No." Tang Zhou shook his head gently and refused, "I can't sleep."
"Okay, you, who vowed to listen to me before? They all said it nicely, right?"
"No, no." Tang Zhou hugged her tighter.
She found it hard to breathe. She couldn't respond to Tang Zhou's strong love.
"Then just be obedient and have a good sleep."
Tang Zhou was silent for a moment, then slowly replied with the word "Okay", and then his body sank down as if limp. Shen Zhixi struggled to hold him back, but fortunately Yuanyang reacted in time and rushed forward to help.
He was so heavy that it took a long time to get him back into the house even with Yuanyang.
The injury was on his back, so he could only lie on the bed.
Shen Zhixi checked carefully and found that although the wound where the arrow hit was not superficial, it had indeed avoided the vital point. As long as the bleeding was stopped, it would not be fatal.
"Miss, do you want to call a doctor?"
Shen Zhixi did not nod, but said calmly: "Go get some water and some hemostatic medicine."
Something like that had just happened, and she was afraid that there would be danger outside again, and it was also dark, so she didn't feel at ease asking Yuanyang to go out alone at night, just in case.
Yuanyang agreed and ran out the door immediately.
Tang Zhou was lying on the bed, his clothes on the back were soaked with blood, the moon-white color was dyed crimson, there was blood inside and out, it looked horrifying.
Shen Zhixi stood up, fetched the scissors and came back, then cut open the clothes on Tang Zhou's back bit by bit, exposing his back. Where the arrow hit, blood was still pouring out, as if it was about to drain out.
She had no idea what to do and was too scared to move.
Tang Zhou's face was completely drained of color and his lips were all white, which made Shen Zhixi anxious.
She stood up again and went to the washstand to get a dry towel, ready to put it on the palm of her hand to pull out the arrow. Otherwise, she was afraid that her hands would be slippery due to the blood on the arrow, and her hands would shake when she pulled out the arrow. If she couldn't pull out the arrow at once, she would have to Pulling it out again would be equivalent to a second injury to Tang Zhou.
"Here comes the hot water and some hemostatic medicine."
Yuanyang came back with hot water. She was not as calm as Shen Zhixi, and there were tears on her face. She put down the washbasin and half-knelt in front of the bed, and asked Shen Zhixi with choked sobs, "Miss, he won't die, will he?" If not, I’ll ask a doctor to come back and take a look.”
"Go back tomorrow morning. His injury is important, and you are also important to me. I can't risk your safety, just in case there are still gangsters in the mountains."
"But if there are still gangsters, if they come again, we will..."
"Then let's die together. I can't send you out to die with my own hands." Shen Zhixi squeezed the towel in his hand, glanced at Yuanyang and said, "Okay, I know for sure that his injuries are not fatal. I remember I left some ginseng slices before, you go get some and let him hold them in his mouth."
"Okay, I'll get it right now."
After Yuanyang left the bed, Shen Zhixi was ready to start drawing arrows.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down again and again, but it only took a moment to pull out the arrow.
He bent down slightly, wrapped a rough dry towel around the arrow body, and pulled it up as soon as he closed his eyes.
It is indeed not difficult to pull out the arrow, but it can be seen that the blood thing will inevitably make people feel nervous.
Along with the sharp arrows, there was also spraying blood. A lot of it was sprayed on her face without noticing, and the bloody smell made her uncomfortable.
After being dazed for a moment, she dropped the arrow and towel, and immediately went to get the hemostatic medicine.
Almost a whole bottle of powder was sprinkled on the wound, and the bleeding was finally stopped.
Her hands were shaking, and after she relaxed, she felt that her body was extremely soft.
I had endured it for a while before, but now that I knew Tang Zhou would be fine, I couldn't hide the nausea in my stomach. I covered my mouth and walked to the door, holding on to the door and vomiting uncontrollably.
"Miss!"
Yuanyang came over with ginseng slices and was frightened by Shen Zhixi's appearance.
Shen Zhixi waved his hand indifferently, indicating that she would just take care of Tang Zhou and put the ginseng piece into Tang Zhou's mouth.
After vomiting for a long time, I finally felt that even my legs were weak.
When he returned to bed, Yuanyang was gently wiping the blood on Tang Zhou's back with a wet towel.
Shen Zhixi stood by the bed and looked down at Tang Zhou with complicated eyes.
She was sure that she was really pregnant, which meant it was time for her to go.
