Chapter 15: Resurrection from the dead is against the will of heaven
The women in black were all children that my aunt rescued from the abandoned baby tower in Langjiang. How could I not feel heartbroken when I saw them being brutally murdered in such a way?
After the aunt told her the prescription, Twelve Bian killed her with a knife immediately. Xiao Qingxu had no objection to this and directly ordered them all to be killed.
"girl--!"
Not long after the work was done, the sound of a carriage rushing towards this side came from not far away, mixed with Li Zixi's shouts.
Lu Heying and others looked over when they heard the sound and saw five carriages rushing towards them. Li Zixi hurried over with two guests.
When Twelve was trapped, the Lord of Dancheng seemed not to want to cause any more trouble. Although he said he would kill them, he allowed Twelve and others to rescue Li Zixi.
After Li Zixi was rescued, Bai Xiaoye asked two guests to wake him up on the road and asked the three of them to find a few carriages in case someone in the back was injured and unable to move. If they couldn't win, they could still run away.
Bai Xiaoye hurriedly said, "Hurry up, the master's poison cannot be delayed."
Xiao Qingxu and the others didn't say anything more. Ji Suxian carried Shang Yuwan into the carriage, followed by Twelve, and Xiao Qingxu also followed... Lu Heying pulled him down.
"Come with me. I'll take your pulse and give you some medicine."
Xiao Qingxu was also injured.
He looked at the carriage where Shang Yuwan was.
Lu Heying directly dragged him onto another car, "Junior sister can hold her own in there, and Twelve's shoulder needs to be patched up. What are you doing in there? Come on, come with me."
He himself was also injured and needed Xiao Qingxu to apply medicine for him.
Bai Xiaoye asked everyone else to get on the carriage first and turned to look at Li Zixi.
"Master Li, you..."
Li Zixi waved his hands and said, "Please leave me a carriage so I can take these bodies back to Yanmen. My general is still in Yanmen. I have to go back and will not be with you."
"Don't worry, although the general and I are exposed, the prince cannot kill us for the time being."
Bai Xiaoye was waiting for this sentence. He nodded and climbed onto the carriage. "Master Li, take care of yourself and be careful."
The prince's men must still be guarding Yanmen, so they can't go to the Laixiang Clinic there, and they can't take Li Zixi, an outsider, back to Baijialou.
Seeing that the carriage had disappeared, Li Zixi looked back at the corpses on the ground, silently rolled up his sleeves and carried them one by one onto the carriage.
It has been a long time since he has done something like collecting corpses.
Li Zixi's eyes looked a little lonely.
I really miss the time when I was a soldier.
Back then, everyone was still alive and well. The Shang family hadn't been executed yet, and the general was still drinking with them.
"City Lord, they're gone."
In the City Lord's Mansion of Dancheng, the City Lord looked at his grandson who had been brought back from the bed not long ago with a kind look, and reached out to touch the child's soft hair.
"Clean up all traces and deliver the silver, so no one finds out. If you can't do it well, I'll bring you my head."
The guard quietly raised his eyes to glance at the sleeping child on the bed, then immediately lowered his head and replied, "Yes."
The city lord's hands were caressing, but his mind was full of thoughts.
He was a little confused about the Crown Prince's intentions this time. It was much stranger than before. He had his grandson kidnapped and ordered him to surround and kill them at the Huiyun Inn, yet he said there was no need to force them. Was he trying to test their strength? Or was he playing cat and mouse? Regardless, the silver had to be delivered this time without delay.
Back on this point, if Li Zixi was not Zhang Jiuquan's man, Ji Suxian really wanted to recruit this person into his own pharmacy.
Li Zixi seemed to be very good at this kind of thing. Not only did he and the guests find a carriage, but he also put various medicines for stopping bleeding and treating injuries, clean clothes, and even some food to replenish physical strength in the carriage.
Ji Suxian chose the largest carriage with a couch in it. She gently placed Shang Yuwan on the couch, felt her pulse, took a few stitches and gave her a few more injections, treated her wounds, and then changed her clothes.
Turning around, he saw that Twelve had no intention of taking off his clothes. His eyes were as big as copper bells, staring at Shang Yuwan.
"......" Ji Suxian was too tired to speak, and she started to take off Twelve's clothes.
Twelve looked at her and was so scared that she retracted her hand.
On second thought, what is she afraid of?
"If your wounds aren't treated, you'll bleed to death. Don't you want to see Master Shang again? Don't you want to avenge the Shang family?"
Twelve's beast-like eyes slowly withdrew, and he took off his clothes by himself, revealing the old scars of all sizes on his body.
Ji Suxian was not frightened by those hideous scars. He looked at the wound on her shoulder, applying medicine and bandaging it while marveling at it.
It's so deep and so big, yet he's still so energetic. Is he made of iron? Can't he feel any pain at all?
"If it hurts, scream. I won't laugh at you. Fortunately, there is no poison in it..."
Ji Suxian was muttering to himself, while Twelve said nothing, his eyes never leaving Shang Yuwan.
"Twelve, do you believe in resurrection from the dead?"
Ji Suxian asked the question casually, and Twelve shuddered.
The look in Ji Suxian's eyes changed, but she said something irrelevant.
"Cold? Don't worry, there's enough stuff in this carriage for us to get back to Baijialou. We won't be cold when we get home. Do you want to wear more clothes? It would be very troublesome if a fire breaks out in the back."
Twelve still didn't say a word. After bandaging herself, she changed her clothes. Ji Suxian forced her to put on a cloak.
It took them four full days of rushing to get back to Baijialou.
Although Baijialou is called a "building", its scale is as large as half of Dancheng.
As soon as they arrived, Xiao Qingxu carried Shang Yuwan straight to the pharmacy.
Bai Xiaoye and Cheng Yishui took the guests to carefully clear the traces to prevent the prince and the people behind him from following them. Ji Suxian and Lu Heying, the brother and sister, were also busy all the time. Lu Heying memorized the prescription in his mind and went to the medicine cabinet to find the medicine to boil it. Ji Suxian stayed with Xiao Qingxu and Shang Yuwan, the two sick patients, and did not dare to leave.
Ji Suxian was really afraid that Xiao Qingxu would lose his composure and lose his life.
Xiao Qingxu also stayed close to Shang Yuwan, and kept repeating in his mind what someone had once said to him.
[Resurrecting someone is ultimately against the laws of nature. Although you and I have paid the price, if we are not careful, the laws of nature will find an opportunity to make those who should have died die again. Remember, remember...]
"Cough cough cough!" Xiao Qingxu couldn't help coughing. When Ji Suxian was about to step forward, he calmed himself down in time.
"It's okay, I won't die. I won't die. The new emperor hasn't ascended the throne yet, and the Shang family hasn't learned the truth yet. I won't die, I won't die..."
Xiao Qingxu trembled as he held Shang Yuwan's pale hands. One was big, the other was small, both were skinny and bloodless.
He tried his best to suppress his excited emotions, but he was completely defeated when he saw the few white hairs on Shang Yuwan's head.
"I will let you live, we will all live, we will all live, we will all live..."
"Brother Xiao."
Ji Suxian, who had been silent for a long time, interrupted his nightmare-like mumbling and looked at the person she had known since childhood with complicated eyes.
"She must be the young lady of the Shang family."
One word can cause a thousand waves.
Ji Suxian had never encountered such a thing before. It was simply unbelievable, but she had to believe it.
The Brother Xiao she knew had chosen someone in his life and would only be with that person for the rest of his life.
She originally thought that Brother Xiao was using the new strategist in this building as a substitute, but now it seems...
Ji Suxian suddenly realized something even more terrifying.
Resurrection from the dead is just a legend, and if it comes true it would be against the will of heaven.
The more Ji Suxian thought about it, the more terrified she became.
"Brother Xiao, your life span has suddenly shortened..."
Is this the price to pay for going against the will of heaven?
