Chapter 285 There is no free lunch in the world!
Bu Wei took a look and found that Shang Bin was breathing in less and out more, and a lot of blood foam was coming out with his breathing.
Turning slightly to look in the direction of the Gu family, a hint of indifference flashed in Bu Wei's eyes.
In his opinion, there was a great deal of grievance between the Gu family and the Shang family, and it was reasonable for Ran Qingxuan not to save them. He was just the leader of the escorts and didn't want to get involved in the affairs of these people.
To him, the death of Shang Bin was just the death of a criminal, but to the Gu family, Shang Bin was the murderer who almost intended to kill the Gu couple under the pretext of killing Gu Yanzong.
He died just like that, it was all because Ran Qingxuan was too disdainful to do it himself!
After clearing a space, everyone moved their tents together again. The bonfire in the middle gradually dispelled the cold, and everyone felt like they had lived their life again.
The concubine of the Li family who was smashed to death was the one who had previously accused Zhao Chunxiu of sending her to Li Yuan's bed.
When she was covered with a torn curtain and carried out, the concubines who were still alive huddled together, with expressions in their eyes of whether they were envious of her freedom or hatred for themselves for still staying in hell.
It was only three o'clock in the morning, and there were still three or four hours before the team set out. Even though they couldn't sleep, those who had tents crawled into them to catch up on their sleep.
Two of the officers' tents had just been burned down by fire, and the four grown men couldn't even squeeze in together.
Ran Qingxuan didn't want to go too far, after all, he would have to ask for help when he arrived in Cangzhou.
He took out a waterproof sheet from his team's luggage and brought it to Bu Wei.
"This tarpaulin is not cut too short. It's more than enough for four people to sleep together. At least we won't freeze to death at night."
Bu Wei took the waterproof cloth with some surprise, and even embarrassedly apologized tactfully for Bu Fei's pushing Madam Gu last time.
Ran Qingxuan saw his somewhat awkward smile and thought that it would be better if he could smile as well when he got to Cangzhou!
"Although we are prisoners, as the Gu family who have made great contributions to the country and the people, we should also be given due respect."
After saying this, he looked meaningfully at Bu Fei, who lowered his head and remained silent.
Bu Wei opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Ran Qingxuan turned around and left.
Just as Ran Qingxuan said, no matter how much the Gu family was criminals, the contributions made by the men of the Gu family to Northern Qi were not comparable to those of the escorts who were just eating and waiting to die.
One officer was left behind to guard the prisoner, while the rest returned to their tents to take a rest.
The wind and snow stopped around six in the morning. The mountains outside the ruins seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost, and there was only one color left in the entire world.
After the snowstorm last night, everyone who got up and left the tent couldn't help but shrink their necks.
As soon as you open your mouth, the cold air rushes into your throat uncontrollably, making you choke and cough repeatedly.
"This damn weather, it's never been this cold before."
The officer shrank his neck and added a few broken wood to the fire.
People came out of the tents one after another, saying how cold it was after the wind and snow stopped.
In a corner where no one noticed, He Qin, with disheveled hair and an expressionless face, was hugging Shang Zifan, while Shang Zicheng was leaning on her shoulder with his eyes closed.
The mother and her two children were lying on a quilt, and were also covered with a quilt, but if you just stretched your head a little to look over there, you would see Shang Bin, who had died at some point.
In the end, it was the Li family members who were close by who discovered the death. Zhao Chunxiu screamed and attracted everyone's attention.
"Someone's dead. All the Shang family members are dead..."
Bu Fei walked up to her calmly and whipped Zhao Chunxiu at her feet.
"What the hell are you yelling about!"
He turned to look at He Qin, who had become half-human, half-ghost in just one night.
"Is he dead? If not, get up and pack your things."
The families gathered together looked at the Shang family, and saw four officers carrying away Shang Bin, who had been frozen stiff.
He Qin stood up silently and quietly tied up the quilt that had no warmth at all.
Shang Zicheng's injured leg has turned black. Because he did not receive timely treatment, he now has trouble standing and walking has become even more impossible.
Bu Wei was afraid that he would slow down the team, so after hesitating for a moment he walked up to Ran Qingxuan.
“Ran, I know that your Gu family and the Shang family are at odds, but we still have a long way to go after leaving Cangzhou. If he continues like this, the team will probably be delayed for another half a month.
I don't have time to waste with him. If you arrive at the place of exile one day later, you will have to suffer one more day. I'm sure you don't want that.
So even if it's just for your own family's sake, you should give Shang Zicheng some treatment first, at least so that he can keep up with the team. ”
Ran Qingxuan was not an unreasonable person. She would not just sit there and watch what the other party had said. But...
"Then go and have a look!"
Just by looking at Ran Qingxuan's expression, Gu Yanchen knew that there was no free lunch with her.
Sure enough, when Ran Qingxuan approached the Shang family, He Qin watched it all coldly and even wanted to mock them.
"Stop crying over the rat with false sympathy. You Gu family wish the master would die, so how could you be so kind as to treat my son..."
Ran Qingxuan sneered: "I, Ran Qingxuan, want to save anyone I see, it can be this group of officials who only care about money, it can be a little kid I don't know, it can be anyone I don't know on the street."
"But it definitely won't be Shang Bin and his son who want to kill us!"
Bu Wei was stunned where he stood, looking at Ran Qingxuan in disbelief as he went back on his word.
He Qin didn't expect Ran Qingxuan to say that, and she stood there in a daze.
Bu Wei was overwhelmed. He opened his mouth and motioned to Ran Qingxuan to let him step aside to talk.
"Ran, you..."
Ran Qingxuan crossed his arms and shook his head at Bu Wei: "It's not that I don't want to save him, it's that I can't save him."
"Why?"
"Didn't you see his legs? If they were that black, it means the flesh and blood had already died. There's no way to save them."
Bu Wei frowned and asked tentatively: "Is there no other way? As long as it doesn't delay the trip!"
"Don't mention it, there is actually a way, and that is amputation."
Ran Qingxuan looked at Shang Zicheng's pitch-black leg. Coincidentally, that leg was the one that kicked Gu Yanzong's wheelchair.
Since you want Ran Qingxuan to save her, just leave your two legs behind!
"What do you mean by amputation? Does it mean cutting off the legs?"
"You understood correctly. We need to cut off the necrotic leg. Otherwise, the necrotic flesh will kill him."
Bu Wei had not expected this method. He knew very well that if Shang Zicheng chose not to undergo amputation, he would only end up dead sooner or later.
It would take just over two months to send the prisoners to the place of exile. With the number of prisoners who died before, there were now five of them. It would be difficult for him to report this to the authorities then.
This trip was already enough to give him a headache. If two more people died, would he still be able to keep his job?
"Ran, are you sure he can survive amputation?"
Ran Qingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and could tell that he didn't seem to want anyone to die.
Considering his duties as the head escort, he shrugged casually.
"Sure!"
