The bright moon sits on the ground

I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Rui felt that her arms and legs were frozen.

It seemed that only the torso belonged to her, and the rest was unconscious. She didn't even know whether her hands were still supporting Military Master Pei's knees, or whether her trembling legs were still moving forward...

So Zhang Rui had to look sideways from time to time to see if Army Master Pei was still on her back.

Military division Pei is occasionally awake, and occasionally falls into a light sleep. Zhang Rui is worried that he will not wake up.

This snowy night was too quiet, so quiet that the fighting sounds during the handover of the two armies could not be heard. It seemed that the inside of the city and the outside of the city were two worlds. All I could see was a white snowfield. Gone.

There was a deathly silence, the world seemed to be empty, only the tireless wind and snow continued to rage.

She began to panic, and regretted why she asked Pei Junshi not to speak.

Zhang Concubine always said that she couldn't hide her words, and always liked to write what was in her heart on her face. Perhaps Military Master Pei also sensed that her emotions were not right, so she coughed a few times and said, "Miss,? I never asked what you want to do in the future."

Zhang Rui opened her mouth, and the strong wind carried ice and snow into her throat, which melted in an instant. She almost let go and choked twice, and finally supported the person on her back firmly This time she learned to be smart, and clenched her teeth, and squeezed out the words from her teeth, so as not to eat another mouthful of snow: "I haven't made up my mind yet, but I want to be like my father, like him." , lead thousands of troops, guard the city, as long as the breath is still there, no foreign tribes will be allowed to invade."

After she finished speaking, she felt that the words were like a child's babbling, and she couldn't help but want to go back on her word: "The military master listened to it and don't laugh at me."

Military Adviser Pei did not take her words as a joke at all, and asked in a very serious tone, "Young Miss, do you want to become a general? Your status as a general will bind you to Zhen'e forever. I thought, with Young Miss' temper , will yearn for the world beyond Zhen'e."

Zhang Rui remembered the stories he had heard from An Picai and Chang Jinyu before, such as "Zhang Shuangbi was unrestrained when he was young", "he fled Zhen'e Mansion with a gun in his hand", and "he refused to live or die". Go back", "I was taken back by Wuhuada", she suddenly felt funny, it seemed that the wind and snow were not so hard to endure, even the biting cold could be endured.

"This." She thought about her words and replied, "Maybe I was born to feel that I should take over his burden."

That's why he wanted Zhang Shuangbi's squirt gun, and that's why he often ran to the barracks, and was taught several times by him.

"Except for me, no one can inherit his mantle." Zhang Rui said, "If brother Qi is not so weak, with his intelligence, he will definitely be able to take over the position of general. If sister-in-law is not here There is no talent in martial arts, and with her calmness and prudence, she will surely be able to protect Zhen'e's peace for a hundred years. It's a pity that I am the only one who learned my father's marksmanship."

"Speaking of which, my father probably didn't think about it at all. The military adviser just treat my words as nonsense."

The chest attached to the back rose and fell, and Zhang Rui realized that Military Master Pei had sighed.

"It's really rare for a young lady to have such thoughts. How could I treat your heartfelt words as nonsense?" Military division Pei's voice was no longer as intermittent and weak as before, but the wind was too loud, Zhang Rui didn't notice his abnormality at all, and just listened to his words intently, "My little girl is older than you, and she married far away half a year ago. I'm always worried about how well she will live there. If she can have half of you Temperament, I wouldn't be so worried about it."

"It's just that it's not that easy to bear the life of a city. The road ahead is long and there is no end in sight."

He said: "If you want to become a general, you have to shed more blood and sweat than others, you have to endure more praise and abuse than others, you have to pay more than others, and all precious things are better than others." That flag on the wall."

Zhang Rui raised her eyes to look at the gloomy sky, she put away the joking tone she used to hide, and said softly, "Well, I know."

After a lot of talking, Junshi Pei seemed a little tired, and his voice had a strong nasal tone, "Miss, I'm a little tired, please take care of me along the way, I'll take a break for the time being."

Zhang Rui was also not very embarrassed, and responded to him regretfully: "Okay, Military Advisor Pei, I will call you later when I arrive at the medical clinic."

Junshi Pei seemed to answer, but he didn't seem to answer her words.

Anyway, the new wind was always blowing, and I couldn't hear anything clearly, so Zhang Rui took it as an answer.

In fact, the medical center is not far from the city gate, and it usually only lasts for a stick of incense, but Zhang Rui always felt that she had walked for several hours in the heavy snow with Pei Junshi on her back, until her arms and calves were frozen. Qingzi saw the signboard of the hospital.

On a windy and snowy night, the lantern outside the medical hall, which was always burning with warm light, had been extinguished.

Although it was turned off, Zhang Rui seemed to have grasped at straws, and finally there was a sporadic light in his eyes.

She swallowed, and felt a pain in her dry throat, but she didn't pay attention at all, her mind was only on the nearby medical center, she wanted to wake up Military Master Pei, and wanted to tell him, look, we are finally here, and we will be here soon There are physicians to heal you.

But Zhang Rui didn't shout after all, she thought, let him rest for a while, the rest of the matter will be discussed in the hospital.

She unconsciously took big strides, took a few steps up the steps, supported Military Adviser Pei on her back, raised her left hand, moved her knuckles that were stiff from the cold and even tingled, and knocked on the door of the hospital , while shouting: "Zhen'e Army! Is there anyone?"

No one responded.

Zhang Rui frowned, she felt that the person on her back was already sliding down, so she could only retract her hands first, supported his knees with both hands, stepped back a few steps, and carefully observed the structure of the medical center , is indeed the one in her memory.

So Zhang Rui cleared her throat, raised her voice, and shouted, "There are patients outside, please open the door as soon as possible!"

There was silence everywhere, and she even began to wonder if something happened in the city, but she put her face close to the door of the medical hall, and looked through the crack for a while, and found nothing abnormal, and she didn't smell a trace of blood. Just a faint medicinal fragrance.

Zhang Rui gradually felt a burst of irritability and uneasiness for no reason. She couldn't free her hand, so she could only raise her leg to kick the closed door. With all her strength, boom, boom, the knock pierced Ling Lie. The wind and snow echoed in her cochlea—it was already very loud, she thought, no matter how deeply she slept, she should wake up, but why was there still no movement in the medical hall?

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind is like a knife blade, which can forcefully gouge the flesh off the body.

She felt that her cheeks were so cold that she lost consciousness, her face was covered with a thin layer of frost, and her teeth started to ache from the cold.

If there is really no one, she can't wait here all the time. The weather is too cold, let alone she can't bear it, but the seriously injured military division Pei must not be able to bear it, and she has to find another one. Place to take a break.

Zhang Rui was furious, and after a short period of silence, he angrily kicked the door of the clinic again.

Then she turned around, ready to leave this dead place, and first find a shelter that could shelter from the wind and snow.

Zhang Shuangbi had given medicine to Junshi Pei in advance, and he still had a bitter fragrance on his body. However, because he was not sure whether the doctor in the barracks was a spy, Zhang Shuangbi could only use the medicine he always had by his side. A drop in the bucket.After all, she was going to find a doctor, but she was worried that Junshi Pei might not be able to last that moment, so it was better to find a place to rest first.

The moment Zhang Rui walked down the steps with stiff steps, she heard something strange.

It was the barking of a dog, which came from the medical hall, split through the whistling wind and snow, and passed clearly into her ears.

Zhang Rui's movements paused, his eyes widened in disbelief.

There was only one sound of dog barking, followed by frantic footsteps, deliberately lowered, but she still heard them.

Why did the dog in the hospital bark until now.

Why did the barking stop after the footsteps sounded.

Everything has already been revealed.

There are people in the hospital, and they are awake, very sober, listening to her knocking on the door like a madman outside asking for help.

Zhang Rui suddenly felt dizzy. She had walked in the snow for so long before, but she had never felt as cold as she was at this moment. It wasn't the coldness on her body, but the coldness emanating from the bottom of her heart, which froze her blood into ice , clogging the throat.

Obviously there, obviously listening, why won't you open the door?Why refuse any kindness?

What does she look like in the eyes of these people?A monkey trick?Is it the only joy in their tedious waiting?

For a moment, all the emotions came to my heart, and Zhang Rui felt her eyes sour, and couldn't tell whether it was more anger or more despair.

She sucked in a breath of wind and snow suddenly, choked and trembled all over, and then she came to her senses before she was willing to continue walking forward with Military Master Pei on her back.

If they refuse to open the door, then change to another one and find a place to let Junshi Pei warm up before talking.

Only the heavens can know that in the heavy snow, the girl carried a thin man on her back, walked hard, left from the gate of the medical center without looking back, knocked on the door from door to door, and said, "I am the little girl of King Zhen'e." daughter", said, "I have injuries around me, can you let us stay for a while", but all the doors are tightly closed, like a silent tomb, separating them from the outside.

She could even read the names of the people who lived in these people's homes.

But the person hiding inside still refused to respond, as if he didn't recognize her.

There was only one old man who cautiously said "please go back" after her frantic knock on the door.

As if hearing a voice other than wind and snow for the first time, Zhang Rui cheered up and said: "The foreigners have not broken through the city gate yet, and the King of Hunger Suppression is defending the camp with his soldiers. There is only one wounded person beside me... outside It's safe."

"It's just in case." The old man said with a thick accent, "You are soldiers who go to battle to kill the enemy, and all of you are capable, unlike ordinary people like us, in case of any accident, we will even There is no chance of saving your life."

Then he heard a "bang", like a thunderclap, which made everyone in the room tremble.

The anger in Zhang Rui's heart poured out in an instant, and she slammed her hand on the door fiercely. There was a raised nail on the wooden door, embedded in her flesh and blood, but she didn't realize it, once, twice, She continued to hit it, blood splashed out, and the palm was already a bloody mess. She looked at it coldly, but laughed out loud. The hatred contained in the laughter made the listener feel palpitations.

"Who do you think the Zhen'e Army is defending the city for?" Zhang Rui chewed up the words, "Who do you think the Zhen'e Army is shedding blood for? It's for you people, for You selfish, stupid 'common folks', do you know how many people died because of you unrepentant bastards, for you heartless things?"

"You don't know anything, you don't know anything, you just hide in your shells and wait for the dawn!"

There was no sound from the other end of the door, and in this world of ice and snow, there was only the sound of the wind that she hated.

The city is dead, Zhang Rui thought, although the foreigners have not broken through the city gate, but the city has fallen.

She turned around in despair, and supported Military Admiral Topei's knee, not even daring to tell him these facts.

"Well, Mr. Pei, you mentioned to me before, what is the name of your daughter who married far away?"

"If you only care about her, why don't you wait for this war to pass and find a free opportunity to visit her?"

Perhaps it was because Zhang Rui hadn't waited for a response for a long time, and Zhang Rui's mood gradually sank, almost on the verge of collapse.

"I'm sorry." She walked in the heavy snow, her voice was hoarse like a dilapidated old house, creaking in the wind, she tried her best to make her voice soft, but there was inevitably some whimpering, "I'm sorry, Military Master Pei, I may not be able to find a doctor to treat you, they will not open the door, I can't save you, I don't know what to do..."

"Mr. Pei? Mr. Pei... Are you awake? Are you still listening to me?"

Zhang Rui suddenly remembered that Military Master Pei hadn't spoken for a long time.

His last words were that he was a little tired, please take care of her all the way, he will rest for a while.

She could no longer contain her emotions and cried bitterly.

Then, he slipped and fell into the vast snow field.
