Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 171 Dead
The sky full of stars dimmed, it was the darkest time before dawn.

King Qin hugged the woman in his arms tightly, put his palm on her vest desperately, and galloped forward.For a long time, he forgot to order the direction of the horse, and only knew how to run forward.He didn't know whether it was intuition or other reasons, but he clearly felt the body in his arms cooling down little by little.

He knew the strength of his palm better than anyone else, and his mind went blank, he just hugged her and couldn't even speak.

After running for quite a while, he was finally able to make a trembling voice, but couldn't make a sound: "Girl...Girl...you, are you still alive..."

She remained silent, and obediently leaned into his arms, but she couldn't rely on her, and her head kept drooping.

He squeezed her hand lightly, feeling that it was gradually getting colder, his whole mind was not sober, he didn't know what he had done, let alone where he was going.

He reined in his horse in the dark night before dawn, not daring to run again, for fear that if he ran again, her soul would be frightened away.He didn't even dare to get off the horse, just stayed on the horse's back, hugged her tightly, and didn't know what to do.This time, it was different from any other time, even if she committed suicide, even if she was sick, she could control and measure what she did; but this time, she did it herself!

Only he himself knows best!

Although the palm with all his strength was aimed at killing Zhang Xian, he saw it the moment she blocked her approach—it was because he saw it that he hated it even more!I hate her for running away again and again; I hate her for being someone else's wife; I hate her "bridal chamber wedding night"; I hate her for not taking herself seriously...

When he tore up the Nian Geng wedding stickers, his heart had already cooled down, thinking that it would never warm up again, his hatred had almost overwhelmed his love and affection.

One slap down, it ended up with her!I no longer have to worry about it.

So, he really just slapped it down.

However, if she died, would she really have no worries?

Is this really the result I want?

Standing in the endless night, he shed tears, and suddenly screamed like crazy: "Girl...you don't die! Don't die! Girl, you are alive, okay?"

However, her hand simply slipped from his hand completely, hanging limply, and the end of her nose seemed to have no breath.

King Qin's legs softened, and he almost fell to his knees, weeping uncontrollably. The person in his arms was already as thin as a flimsy feather. As long as he loosened his hand, it would be mixed into the sky or the soil, turning into the tiniest dust. From then on, The fragrance disappears and the jade dies...

A round of bright red sun rises from the east and shines on this northern land. There are dense forests everywhere and white snow in the distance. There is only one path winding and rugged. Passing this path, another day's journey will It is the border of Song State.

King Qin's legs were already numb, and when he was about to stand up, he shook his hands and still hugged Hua Rong tightly. He could see clearly at this moment, but saw that her eyes were closed tightly, there was a line of blood that was about to dry up at the corners of her mouth, and her face was like gold. Paper, no breath at the end of the nose.

He didn't leave the ground for a moment, and put his palm on her vest, surrounded by tall trees, a squirrel jumped over, and a drop of morning dew fell from the tall pine needle tree next to it, just dripping on Hua Rong's face. A slight "click" could be heard on the face.Water drops fell on her face and slid down the corner of her mouth, diluting the purple blood, and her eyelids moved suddenly.

King Qin was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Girl..."

However, the surroundings were quiet, and Hua Rong was also quiet, without a single movement, he suspected that he was delusional, and still put his hand on her vest, judging that she still had the last breath.If this trace of breath dissipates, he will die immediately.

He suddenly remembered that people often say that Ganoderma lucidum prolongs life. Often when a person is seriously injured or dying, if he takes a good ginseng decoction, his life can be extended for a while. He himself once captured a thousand-year-old ginseng and put it away on the island.But the journey is far away, and it will take a month or two to get there. Hua Rong is sober now, not to mention a month or two, even a day or two is not enough.

He pulled himself together and was about to carry her on the horse, but remembered her injury, so he couldn't bump anymore, so he hugged her firmly again, and walked on foot, only letting Jinses whine and follow beside him.

The more you go to the border of the Song Dynasty, the more desolate it is. After years of war, the border has long been empty, and there are only some historical relics left in the former tea horse trading market. Song pigs, gold dogs, the two countries have become irreconcilable, All trade and friendly exchanges have been completely interrupted.

At this time, King Qin had calmed down a bit, remembering that people often say that there are three treasures here in Jingou, and ginseng is one of them, so he slowed down his pace, staring at the slight forest on both sides of the river, and the snow-capped mountains.

However, if you want to get ginseng, unless you are an experienced old ginseng customer, most people can't find it at all.What's more, with a person in his arms, he couldn't try his luck to search around in the vast forest.

After walking like this for half an afternoon, he saw that it was getting late and he couldn't find a place to stay, so he had to stop and light a fire.Although it is already May weather, the night in the north is also a bit chilly, and the roar of tigers and wolves can be heard in the jungle from time to time.He was overjoyed, if a big worm came out, he might as well kill a tiger and eat it.

He hugged Hua Rong, held his breath and concentrated, for a while, he heard a roar, and a tiger cub slowly approached.He quietly put Hua Rong in a pile of dry leaves and laid it down, tiptoely lifted a dead branch out, far away, facing the little tiger, threw the dead branch, and stuck it on the little tiger's head.The little tiger rolled a few times, Qin Dawang stepped forward to grab it, beat him to death several times, brought it up, quickly cut the skin and peeled the flesh with the knife in his bosom, found a few large leaves, filled it with water, and boiled the tiger meat into soup.

After finishing it, he picked up Hua Rong again, made a spoon out of leaves, and fed her a few mouthfuls, but her mouth could no longer be opened, and she couldn't swallow anything except the breath of life.

After eating and chewing himself, he became a little more energetic, then put his palm on her vest, unbuttoned the skirt, and wrapped her gently.

Her face was pressed against his hot chest, and his hands gradually felt warm. He was overjoyed and called her repeatedly: "Girl, girl..."

However, she didn't respond in the slightest.

His heart moved, and he unbuttoned her clothes, but saw that she had arrow wounds on her left shoulder and back. Although they had been bandaged, they were in danger of festering due to running around.He quickly took out the medicine in his arms, carefully smeared it on her, re-bandaged her, then carefully dressed her, and then hugged her and lay her down again.

While putting on the shirt, I felt some things in her bosom, all bits and pieces, packed in a small bundle.King Qin unwrapped it and saw that it turned out to be the geng post when she got married. On it was written in red letters Yue Pengju and Hua Rong, their names and birth dates.

He thought of the yellowed paper he had torn up, and compared it with the bright red paper, he realized that this was the real wedding sticker.

When Hua Rong went out at that time, she also expected bad luck and bad luck. Fearing that something bad would happen, even Yue Pengju didn't know, so she secretly took the wedding stickers of the two of them, like a talisman.

King Qin picked up the wedding poster and looked at it for a long while, and anger surged in his heart again, and he was about to throw it into the fire to burn it, but in a blink of an eye, seeing her eyes closed, her face pale, knowing that her hope of survival was slim, If he asked for this wedding sticker when he turned back, where did he find it for her?

Resentfully, he folded the wedding stickers again, put them back into her arms, and slowly put the shirt on for her, feeling pain in his heart. Well, maybe, when she died, she could still take a look at the wedding stickers It will also be comforting.

In this way, at dawn, after another journey, I saw a small shop in front of me.

This is an extremely rare shopkeeper on the border of Song and Jin Dynasties. The shopkeeper is a mixed Han Chinese and Jurchen, proficient in both languages, and has contacts with border generals on both sides, so it can be preserved.Especially the state of Song, who sent people to discuss peace repeatedly, really needed a small shop along the way.Therefore, the shopkeeper has spotted the business in this troubled world, and the fees are extremely expensive.

It was still early and there were not many guests, King Qin rushed in after hugging Hua Rong.Xiao Er yelled, "Do you want to stay in the hotel?"

"Hurry up, bring your best medicine and food up..."

This small shop naturally has food, there are often many wounded people at the border, and there are also a lot of wound medicines, but seeing King Qin's viciousness, he just said: "The rules of the small shop, you need to pay the silver taels first..."

King Qin took out a piece of silver: "Bring the soup quickly."

Xiaoer took the money and quickly served a bowl of noodle soup.

King Qin sat on the side, picked up Hua Rong, took a spoon, and fed her a few spoons.After finally moving her chin to feed it down a little, she tilted her head and spat out all of it, and purple-black blood gushed out from the corner of her mouth again.

King Qin didn't dare to feed him any more. Seeing Xiao Er looking at him furtively, he said angrily, "Is there a doctor around here?"

"Doctor, there are two in my small shop..."

King Qin was overjoyed: "Please come out quickly."

"However, their consultation fee is very high."

King Qin fumbled again and fought desperately in the Kingdom of Jin. He lost a lot of things on his body, and the salutes were mainly at Ma Su and Liu Wu. He touched another ingot of gold and threw it out, only to find that he was penniless.

Xiao Er collected the gold and walked in slowly. After a while, two old men with goatees growing on their chins and scorched skin came out, dressed in half gold and half Han.

King Qin asked for help from others, and for the first time in his life, he became polite: "Two old gentlemen, please take a look, can my wife still be treated?"

An old man felt Hua Rong's pulse, paused for a moment, and handed it to another old man. The two smiled at each other and shook their heads.

Seeing that the two of them were playing tricks, King Qin couldn't help it anymore: "What's going on?"

"Guest officer, your wife has long since died. Why are you still holding her? The weather is hot now. If the body is not disposed of as soon as possible, it will break down."

The girl is already a "corpse"?

The other doctor also shook his head, and his tone was sympathetic and disdainful: "This man is sick, and he is running around with a dead man in his arms. Guest officer, it is you who should make up for it..."

King Qin was furious and grabbed his collar, and threw the old man out: "Quack doctor, what do you know?"

The other old man slipped away quickly and dodged it. Xiao Er saw that he was vicious and was about to get someone to chase him away. King Qin had already stood up by himself with Hua Rong in his arms, and walked out angrily.

Walking to the door, I suddenly saw a group of Jurchens in fresh clothes walking towards the small shop with their backpacks on their backs, chattering without knowing what to say as they walked.He didn't want to say much at first, but he saw one of them with an excited face, carrying a basket, opened it, and walked away from it, as if he was calling the waiter.

King Qin had sharp eyes, but when he saw the ganoderma lucidum in the basket he opened, he immediately understood that this group of people were all ginseng customers from the north, and these things were sent here, either as a trade or as a gift to an important person.
