I'm a bully in troubled times

Qi Ranming's voice was mixed with the crackling of the bonfire, making it unreal.

Jiang Yu wanted to speak, but there were outsiders around, and it was difficult to speak, so he glanced at the old man hesitantly.

The old man himself was quite self-conscious. When he saw Jiang Yu looking at him, he stood up with his hands behind his back and said, "The medicine in the jar can be taken off after another fifteen minutes. You can drink it while it's hot. I still have something to do, old man. Since your friend is here, let him watch you, I'm leaving."

Qi Ranming nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Senior, go slowly."

The herbs were boiling in the pot, and the fragrance of the medicine was lingering in the dark and cramped space in the cave. The flames danced on Qi Ranming's thin side face, and an unspeakable silence spread between the two.

Jiang Yu tasted the unexplainable emotions lingering in his chest, and felt that he had to do something.

"It's not for me, but for what?" Jiang Yu asked him.

Qi Ranming closed his eyes tiredly, raised his hand and threw the crudely made bamboo flute into the fire, before it fell, Jiang Yu caught it in mid-air.

"It blows well, why burn it?"

Qi Ranming stretched out his hand to Jiang Yu: "Where's my flute?"

Jiang Yu untied the bone flute from his waist and gently put it in Qi Ranming's hand.

Qi Ranming opened his eyes, curled up his fingers slowly, held the bone flute in his palm, and rubbed the delicate body of the flute with his fingertips as usual.His eyes fell on the bone flute, as if he was looking at the flute, or looking at someone through the flute.

"Since you don't want it anymore, how about giving it to me?" Jiang Yu raised the bamboo flute he picked up.

"As you wish." Qi Ranming moved his lips.

Although Qi Ranming didn't show it very clearly, Jiang Yu inexplicably felt that Qi Ranming was more depressed than usual, and seemed to be a little resistant to him.

"You haven't answered me yet," Jiang Yu tried to lean forward, approaching Qi Ranming, and asked softly, "If it's not for me, then what is it for?"

Qi Ranming's eyes suddenly shot over coldly: "Mr. Suiyang must feel the thoughts of everyone around him clearly, and keep everything in his own hands, so that he can feel at ease?"

It is really repelling him, but the reason?

"Crack!" A spark exploded from the bonfire.

Jiang Yu quietly looked at Qi Ranming's handsome eyebrows, and said softly, "You know that's not what I meant."

Qi Ranming pursed his lips: "What is Mr. Suiyang thinking, and how could I..."

"Of course."

Two words interrupted Qi Ranming's unfinished words.

The overly intimate address made Qi Ranming feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't refute.

Jiang Yu tidied up his words and said, "I didn't come to you because you were injured because of me. Even if it wasn't my negligence this time, I would come here."

"As for the reason," Jiang Yu thought for a while, "probably because you were on the battlefield, handed over your back to me, and protected my rear."

Trust is a more precious thing than any other relationship. How many brothers and lovers have turned against each other, let alone trust.

Qi Ranming seemed to accept this statement, frowned, took a breath, lay down slowly with his hands propped up, adjusted his posture with difficulty, and said: "I can't move now, and you need to take charge of the overall situation in the city. It's useless for you to stay with me, it's better to go back to the city. If Nangong Chuo attacks the city, it's better to be in the city than not to be there."

Jiang Yu said: "I'm afraid it's too late to go back now. Nangong Chuo suffered a big loss from me the day before yesterday, and now De County has been firmly surrounded to death."

Qi Ranming closed his eyelids: "In that case, when you came out, didn't you think about this possibility?"

"Once people become impulsive, they don't care so much. Knowing is one thing, but how to do it is another." Jiang Yu said, paused, looked at Qi Ranming's profile and said, "These days , I am quite worried about you, Ran Ming."

It was rare to express his thoughts so bluntly, but Qi Ranming did not answer.Jiang Yu observed him carefully, and found that Qi Ranming's breathing was steady and long, as if he had fallen asleep, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Jiang Yu counted the time, and when the medicine was ready, he took off the medicine jar, poured the medicine with a color that made people afraid to drink it into the ceramic bowl, blew it, and when it was a little cooler, he gently Patted Qi Ranming's shoulder: "Ranming, I've taken the medicine."

Qi Ranming didn't move.

"Ranming?" Jiang Yu approached and called in a low voice.

Qi Ranming still didn't respond, Jiang Yu was worried that Qi Ranming's wound was inflamed, so he stretched out his hand to test the temperature of Qi Ranming's forehead, but found that Qi Ranming's forehead was not only not hot, but also cold.This temperature is not normal.

Jiang Yu touched Qi Ranming's face and neck again, it was cool, and even his whole body was icy cold.

If it weren't for the heat in his chest, Jiang Yu would almost have thought that the person in front of him was dead.

Is this really pure trauma?

Jiang Yu didn't believe it.Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that he was asleep and unable to resist, Jiang Yu pulled Qi Ranming's wrist and put his fingertips on his pulse to feel for it.Qi Ranming's pulse was soft, seemingly absent, slower than ordinary people.

At this moment, Jiang Yu began to regret that he probably didn't study medicine well in Jicheng.

Judging from the pulse condition, Qi Ranming's Qi and blood are insufficient, but it's not just that, his condition seems to be caused by toxins accumulated in his body for a long time, not just this serious injury.

Jiang Yu picked up the medicine bowl and smelled it, and it seemed that it was not purely wound medicine, or a medicine for nourishing qi and blood.

Jiang Yu suddenly understood why Qi Ranming refused to take his pulse just now, presumably he didn't want to reveal this to him.

"We still have to check his wounds to see if there is any serious problem." Jiang Yu thought so, put down the medicine bowl first, and gently lifted Qi Ranming from the pile of straw, letting him lean into his arms, He unbuttoned his shirt and was about to look at it when the person in his arms suddenly grabbed Jiang Yu's hand.

Jiang Yu is not afraid of him now, he has been hurt like this, so he just does whatever he says?Some people just try to be brave.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yu's voice came from above Qi Ranming's head.

In fact, Qi Ranming is always awake and not awake these few days, sleeping more than awake.Even though he grabbed Jiang Yu's hand, it didn't mean he woke up, it was just instinct.When he was awake just now, he ran out of cold noodles, and the current Qi Ranming was completely different from the Qi Ranming Jiang Yu had always thought of.

Qi Ranming struggled to open his eyes, trying to stay awake, but his brain was groggy, his head was filled with mud, and he couldn't move, he couldn't even tell where he was.

"Don't move." The familiar, low-pitched male voice spoke again, and now Qi Ranming instinctively knew that he had no strength to resist, so he chose to obey, and followed the man's strength to calm down.

"The medicine is not hot anymore, let's drink it." A medicine bowl was brought to his mouth, and the strong smell of medicine wafted into his nose. Qi Ranming actually hated the smell of medicine, so he turned his head away immediately, refusing to drink it.

"Don't drink?"

Qi Ranming half-raised his eyelids hazily, the people in front of him seemed to have double images, in twos and threes, he didn't know how many people there were, but the dark environment around him was very familiar.That was the nightmare he couldn't escape from when he was a teenager.

"Be obedient, drink the medicine." He heard someone say this to him, and he didn't know if the voice came from his ear or from deep in his memory.The threatening and coaxing voice and tone that had been heard over and over again, engraved in his mind, made Qi Ranming shudder and tremble uncontrollably.

"Cold?"

Someone hugged him tightly, and the warm embrace was very reassuring.Qi Ranming only felt this kind of embrace from one person, and that was his mother who passed away nine years ago.That cowardly and stupid woman doesn't know anything, but when she hugs Qi Ranming, she always has a gentle look on her face, and she will gently touch Qi Ranming's face, and call him in a soft voice: "Ranming."

"Of course."

Qi Ranming opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine.It is medicine or poison, and he has never been qualified to refuse. People who are born in the dust can only roll in the dust all their lives, being used by others, and they will be discarded when they are worthless.

Should he be glad that he still has value?

No...he had already left there, Qi Ranming was in a daze, not knowing where he was.Is he still in Qin State? Where is the Second Young Master?

……

"Mother……"

Qi Ranming read a sentence in a low and vague manner.

"Huh? What did you say?" Someone asked in a low voice.

Qi Ranming frowned tightly: "Bitter..."

too bitter.

Immediately something sweet was stuffed into his mouth, it was a very familiar taste, pine nut candy.Every time my mother came back from the palace, she would buy it for herself.

Is mother there?Qi Ranming thought vaguely, and couldn't help coquettishly: "It's cold, it's so cold..."

Jiang Yu was helpless.

The fire was so hot that he almost died of heat, but the person in his arms was still ice-cold.How to do it?Jiang Yu had no choice but to hug him tightly.

I'm not taking advantage of others, Jiang Yu thought to himself.

"Mother..." The person in his arms read another sentence, and this time Jiang Yu heard it clearly.

Good guy, it's okay to treat him as a mother.

Jiang Yu is riding a tiger right now, to be reasonable, he didn't intend to develop so fast with Qi Ranming, he hasn't decided anything yet, and he doesn't want to jump in without thinking.But the situation in front of him was a bit unexpected. It was impossible for him to be the shopkeeper and throw people aside.

Jiang Yu didn't dare to hug the man too tightly, after all, after taking a rough look just now, the man had several stab wounds on his body, and he was afraid of touching the wound with too much strength.

However, Jiang Yu stared at Qi Ranming's face that was close at hand, thinking, Qi Ranming's current appearance...is pretty good.

Frowning eyebrows, cold sweat on the forehead, pale cheeks, chapped lips, there is a kind of fragile beauty, which is not at all different from the usual tough, cold and arrogant Qi Ranming.

And only he can see it.

Some kind of strange feeling climbed up Jiang Yu's heart and nerves, he was about to move, and his fingertips scratched Qi Ranming's side face, and finally landed on the corner of Qi Ranming's lips, and tapped lightly.

Jiang Yu Triangle Cat's medical skills can't tell what's going on in Qi Ranming's body, but he guesses that Qi Ranming usually looks like an ordinary person except for his complexion.Qi Ranming's internal strength is profound, and perhaps he suppressed it with his internal strength. He was injured this time, and his old illness and new injury broke out at the same time, so he couldn't suppress it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu adjusted his posture slightly, took the person with his left hand, and let him lean into his arms, and held Qi Ranming's right hand with his right hand, and transmitted the internal force to Qi Ranming's body very slowly, little by little.

Seeing that Qi Ranming frowned in pain, Jiang Yu had no choice but to control his inner strength more gently, like a trickle, passing from Qi Ranming's palm through the tendons on his arms, reaching his limbs and bones, warming the wound and inner organs. internal organs.

Qi Ranming was in a state of confusion at the moment, only felt that his whole body was cold, but the wound was extremely painful, but suddenly there was a warm force slowly flowing through his body, and he felt much better immediately, and the frowning brows gradually smoothed away.
