My years as a soldier

Hu Jiuzhang's life was saved by Bai Muyun, but his two legs could not be cured just by treating them.The leg bones of his two lower legs were directly smashed, and the outer flesh was also smashed.Originally injured like this, ordinary people would rather have their legs amputated than leave rotten flesh and bones on them, even the doctor who took care of Hu Jiuzhang said so.

"Once this wound becomes necrotic, it will be life-threatening. It will be too late to amputate at that time. Please think deeply..."

But what the old man with white beard said was to Bai Muyun.

"What did you say earlier? Didn't you promise me that it can be cured, and it will be cured well?"

Bai Muyun's expression was extremely cold, and even his voice was cold.The old doctor who was over fifty years old stood in front of him, and he had to bow his head and salute before he dared to speak to him. His respectful appearance made Hu Jiuzhang feel dumbfounded.But Bai Muyun didn't take it seriously, and there was even some anger in his voice, and the old medical officer bent even lower as soon as he opened his mouth.

"My lord, calm down, I did say this, but now the military master's body has not fully healed, and the bone injury cannot be delayed for a moment. It has already passed two days. At this time, if he wants to reset the bone, he has no choice but to restore the original bone. The bones that have been misplaced are knocked open again, and re-fixed. No matter which step in the process, there must be severe pain, and I am really afraid that the patient will not be able to support it."

The old doctor's words also made Hu Jiuzhang's scalp tingle.He had only been awake for half a day, and the severe pain in his leg had already made him restless.At this time, he actually wanted to break the wound again?Calling it torture is even worse.

Hearing what the old doctor said, Bai Muyun also showed some hesitation on his face.

"You go out first."

With a wave of his hand, the old man didn't even dare to lift his head, so he just backed out.Hu Jiuzhang leaned on the couch, staring dumbfounded.

"Xiaobai, Mr. Bai... who are you?"

"If you have time to ask me this, don't you want to think about your legs?"

"Hey... what are you thinking..." Hu Jiuzhang sighed on his face, "I have received so much kindness from you, if I die in the step of healing the wound, wouldn't it be a waste of your kindness?"

"You still told me these things—" Bai Muyun's face, which was still as cold as ice, suddenly turned helpless, "You have been suffering from high fever for the past two days, and if you hadn't been hanging on medication, you might not be able to keep yourself alive. The leg is yours Yes, this matter depends on you, as long as you say it will be cured, I can afford it, but I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."

"..." Hu Jiuzhang looked at Bai Muyun and sighed, hesitantly, "If it can be cured, I can bear the pain. My mother is the only son left. If I can't leave, I will die with him." There is no difference, but if it can be cured... I still want to be cured."

"That's good." Bai Muyun agreed quickly. He got up and went to call the doctor. Just as he was about to leave, he looked at Hu Jiuzhang with doubts, "Old Hu, you said you came to Chang'an to do something, what are you going to do?" What happened? Why did the people from the county government hold the staff instead?"

"I……"

Hu Jiuzhang hesitated for a moment, but in the end he finally opened his mouth and confessed to Bai Muyun.My life was saved by others, so I can't hide this family matter from others.

"I'm here to look for my younger brother..." His voice seemed brisk, but his eyes were always lowered. "My younger brother's name is Hu Yan. He is a scholar. He went to Beijing to seek an official half a month ago, but for some reason, in Chang An offended someone, and was severely injured. I came here this time to find him, but now he is dead too... this matter... eh... that's it."

"Who hit him?" Bai Muyun's eyes once again flashed a glint of predation, actually exuding a chilling chill.

"Don't ask, Mr. Bai. This is my family business. Even if you want to kill someone in the future, I, Hu Jiuzhang, will have to do it myself."

"..." Bai Muyun was buried in disappointment when he said that.

"I've said it all, don't call me Mr. Bai...Since it happened in Chang'an, there will be a long time to come. It's because I'm talking too much...Hey, I'll go to the doctor and talk about healing."

Bai Muyun left in a hurry, and after a while, Bai Muyun brought the old doctor and a dozen young men behind him in a file.Seeing the things the servants were holding in their hands, Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help shivering.

A charcoal brazier, three or four single-edged knives large and small, a small hammer, a needle and thread, bandages, and a large pot of herbs with a pungent smell—is this a punishment?

Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help but gasped, but if this was the price to pay for keeping those two legs, then he had no complaints or regrets.

I thought that I would be so useless in my life, but now I have the chance to give it a go, how could he back down!Hu Jiuzhang immediately spoke to the old doctor.

"Old man, please keep my two legs. I can bear no matter how painful it is. Don't be soft-hearted later."

But the old man didn't dare to say anything more to Hu Jiuzhang, he just bowed his hands respectfully to him, which was regarded as his acceptance, and he kept paying attention to Bai Muyun's expression.

"Old Hu... are you really capable?"

Bai Muyun didn't even look at the old man, his eyes were only on Hu Jiuzhang's face.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with healing."

Hu Jiuzhang put on a look of disapproval, and only when the old man took off all the bandages on his legs, Hu Jiuzhang saw his own two smashed wounds.

"...Are you really not in pain?"

While Bai Muyun was worried, Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help swallowing.This is not nonsense?Doesn't hurt you try?But when he said it, he changed his tone.

"fine……"

But as soon as Hu Jiuzhang finished saying this, he regretted it.The old doctor held a silver knife that had been grilled over charcoal fire, and was about to cut off the rotten flesh on his leg, but at this moment, Bai Muyun suddenly sat down beside Hu Jiuzhang's couch, blocking Hu Jiuzhang's view of looking down. .Immediately afterwards, there was a sharp stabbing pain——Hu Jiuzhang almost didn't cry out.At that moment, his body began to tremble uncontrollably, and the thin shirt on his body was soon soaked in cold sweat.

"Old Hu, don't look at—"

But Bai Muyun couldn't help but stand in front of him, pushing him back on the soft pillow.

"Scream if it hurts, it doesn't matter how loud you scream."

Bai Muyun's voice lingered in his ears, but Hu Jiuzhang was so tormented by the continuous pain that he couldn't even speak a word.Soon he heard the sound of the silver hammer beating on his leg bone again. Now he understands what it feels like to be pierced to the bone, and when the old man hit it with the silver hammer, Hu Jiuzhang seemed to be broken. Like a kite on a thread, he suddenly fell backwards on the soft pillow behind him—he was actually passed out from the pain.

I don't know how long it took, but when Hu Jiuzhang woke up, he could still feel the pain in his legs, but the original room was gone.Hu Jiuzhang turned his head sideways with great effort, but was frightened by the sharp gaze that suddenly flashed beside his couch——

Bai Muyun was sitting on the edge of the couch staring at him, Hu Jiuzhang let out a long sigh, but Bai Muyun still didn't seem to notice that he had woken up, he just bit his lower lip tightly, not even a speck of blood could be seen on his face .

"cough……"

Hu Jiuzhang made a soft sound, and Bai Muyun's body shook suddenly. When he looked at Hu Jiuzhang again, in his crystal clear black eyes, a tear suddenly condensed, flowing down the corner of his eyes to the tip of his chin.

"Old Hu... are you awake?"

Hu Jiuzhang was so shocked by Bai Muyun's appearance that he couldn't speak.Of course he knew that Bai Muyun was worried about him, but Hu Jiuzhang never thought that such a wealthy person would shed tears for such a worthless frontier soldier like himself——

For a moment, Hu Jiuzhang panicked.

"Wake up... hey... Xiaobai, don't cry."

"I……"

It was only at this time that Bai Muyun realized that he was crying. He hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then turned his head to the side, not asking Hu Jiuzhang to look at it.

"Just wake up."

After a while, Bai Muyun spoke again.

"I'm going to ask the servants to bring some food. You lie down and don't move around. Be careful that your leg injury will get worse."

Bai Muyun got up to leave, but his figure was a little swaying.Apparently he had been sitting there for too long, when he got up suddenly, his leg was numb.Hu Jiuzhang saw it, but he pursed his lips and showed a gentle smile.

Looking at Bai Muyun, he only felt warm in his heart, and how uncomfortable he was, could be offset by having such a person by his side.

After a while, Bai Muyun led a servant and walked in with a plate of food.Bai Muyun waited for the young man to leave before sitting beside Hu Jiuzhang's couch, and carefully helped him up.Hu Jiuzhang was about to exert himself, but when he didn't want to, he was gouged out by Bai Muyun's sharp eyes.

"You don't move - lean on me!"

For some reason, Bai Muyun's gentle and refined voice turned into a stern command tone. Hu Jiuzhang was taken aback for a moment, feeling in his heart that this son's face changed like a book, but his body obediently vented his strength and lay in Bai Muyun's arms , let him support himself on the soft pillow folded behind him.

"Don't move from now on."

Hu Jiuzhang was obedient and obedient, but Bai Muyun was still cold and serious.

"In the future, if you get up or turn over, I will do it."

"Uh……"

Hu Jiuzhang leaned on the soft pillow, unable to think of how to respond for a moment.Looking at Bai Muyun with a cold face, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.Is this still the Bai Muyun he met in the hotel?

"cough……"

Hu Jiuzhang stared at him blankly for a while, then said softly after thinking, "Xiaobai...I'm still alive and well, you don't have to be so nervous."

Hearing what he said, Bai Muyun frowned, turned his head away, and brought over a bowl of porridge on the plate with all his heart.Although Bai Muyun didn't speak, Hu Jiuzhang saw it. He saw Bai Muyun blushed.At this point, Hu Jiuzhang couldn't help but smile again, adding a bit of brilliance to this pale sick face.

"Hey, Xiaobai, give me the bowl, and I'll eat it myself."

Hu Jiuzhang even had enough confidence to speak, but Bai Muyun's brows were still furrowed.

"No, the doctor said you are too weak, I will feed you."

When Bai Muyun said this, he spoke righteously, but it was not convincing when coupled with his slightly red face.Hu Jiuzhang looked at him and sighed helplessly, and then spoke again, with a wider smile on his face.

"Hey... have you ever fed someone?"

"Feeding people—you don't need to learn this, right?" Bai Muyun always felt that Hu Jiuzhang's words seemed to be finding fault, and he didn't let go of his brows once he frowned.

"Don't be angry...I mean, I'm a rough person, and I'm really terrified to be taken care of by you like this."

"What are you afraid of?" Bai Muyun couldn't help showing some dissatisfaction on his face, "You are my friend, shouldn't friends take care of each other?"

"It makes sense...but..." As he was speaking, Hu Jiuzhang twitched his brows slightly. He thought for a moment, and then his eyes showed some calmness that only belonged to the elderly.

"Xiaobai... Actually, you don't have to worry about me so much. A soldier's body is not that fragile, really."

"What you say doesn't count, what the doctor says counts." Bai Muyun's tense expression finally relaxed a little, but he still didn't ask Hu Jiuzhang to touch the bowl in his hand, but put a spoonful of porridge in front of him After blowing a few mouthfuls, it was handed to Hu Jiuzhang's mouth.

"Stop talking, let's eat first."

Hu Jiuzhang sighed softly, but seeing that the person's expression was not as cold as before, he opened his mouth cheerfully and swallowed the hot porridge.The porridge was made of white rice, and Hu Jiuzhang had never eaten white rice a few times in his life, so when he tasted it, he felt it was extra sweet.

"I'm really not that weak..."

While eating rice porridge, Hu Jiuzhang did not forget to argue with Bai Muyun.

"Well, after dinner, how about I tell you about our Han Haijun? After you listen, you will know..." Hu Jiuzhang said, with a proud smile on his face, "You handed in this My friend is actually not as weak as you think."

"What about your Han Haijun?" Bai Muyun finally smiled when he heard his words, and his expression returned to the indifference when they first met.

"I don't listen to your Han Haijun's affairs." He said lightly, and fed another spoonful of porridge to Hu Jiuzhang's mouth.

"how?"

"I'll listen to your business..." Bai Muyun said softly, his eyes could not help but lowered, "Tell me about your business, old Hu..."
