Chapter 240 Dreams and Reality
"Yes, it's us!" After saying that, Alin spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered all over the ground.
"Alin, it's Alin! Everyone come and help."
"How did you escape?" the girl next to Miss Song said. "You were surrounded, and we were about to rescue you, but we didn't expect you to come back."
A-Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and glanced behind him with a sad look. "I'm fine. Go help carry the person in from the back..."
Unsure what was going on, they approached and saw a child who looked to be about five or six years old, silently crying while holding a man. His collar was wet with tears. They tried to move the man, but the child refused to let go, yelling, "Don't touch my brother! Don't touch my brother!"
"Little brother, let's help carry your elder brother inside first... There is a doctor in the house who can help your elder brother..."
He stopped talking halfway.
The person behind him was about to pat him, but when he stretched his neck forward, he saw that the man lying on the ground had a pale face and purple lips, and he didn't look alive at all.
In addition, the child was crying miserably. He was calling for his elder brother just now. It seems that since he was separated from his closest relatives, it is reasonable for him to feel pain.
A Lin thought for a moment, then stepped forward and gently advised, "Your eldest brother died saving us. If you stay here now, you might attract the enemy, and your eldest brother's life will be wasted."
The child was like a stone. He lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression at the moment, but his voice was hoarse and there was unspeakable pain in his tone.
"Why did my eldest brother die and not me? There's no point for a waste like me to live in this world. He, he sacrificed himself to save me. It's obviously me who should die! It's me! I'm a useless person!" Shi Tou roared and pounded the ground with his hands, and soon blood flowed out.
Alin couldn't help but pull him, and when he looked up, he saw that Shitou's eyes were bloodshot, and his lips had been bitten and bleeding.
His eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness. Alin was startled and raised his hand to make a knife shape and hit him on the back of the neck. Shitou fainted.
"Bring both of them in." He didn't mention the body, he said two people.
Only then did everyone notice that behind the three men were several ragged men, each with red eyes, obviously having cried. The soldiers were even more awed, thinking that someone who could make so many good men cry must be someone with a sense of justice.
Song Ci stayed beside Pei Ji and only came out to see what was happening when he heard some noise in the courtyard.
He looked up, his pupils shrank, and his eyes were filled with surprise and sadness.
Lei Zi was carried in. His body was limp, his hands hanging down, and the color and condition of his skin showed that he was not alive at the moment.
Song Ci staggered and almost fell.
It was Tian'er behind her who supported her.
"Miss, be careful."
She ignored all that and went up to A-Lin to ask, "Where's Shitou? Where's him? Why did Leizi die? Everyone's back, why did he die?"
A Lin pointed at Shitou, who was being carried in. "He was so grief-stricken, I knocked him unconscious. As for Lei Zi... Shitou was being held hostage by aliens. The situation was urgent, and reinforcements were arriving soon. In an attempt to save Shitou, Lei Zi was stabbed through by an alien."
His voice was neither hurried nor slow, but it sounded particularly slow to Song Ci's ears.
She learned from people along the way that Lei Zi and Shi Tou's parents died on the way to escape, and the two of them have been helping each other to survive until now, and they are each other's only close relatives.
Now that Lei Zi is gone, how will Shi Tou collapse?
Besides, in the final analysis, Lei Zi and Shi Tou were both trying to help themselves and others, and Lei Zi sacrificed himself for them.
She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, her hands clenched tightly in her sleeves. At this moment, she hated these foreigners immensely for killing so many innocent people. Lei Zi was a man of good skills and a sharp mind. If he were alive, he should have made great achievements. But now he died at the hands of foreigners. How painful and unbearable must the living stone be?
She herself had experienced the pain of losing a loved one and understood the heart-wrenching pain best. In her dreams at midnight, she just prayed that it was all just a nightmare.
"Take care of the stone. If he wakes up, call me."
Ah Lin nodded, "Okay. By the way, how is the young master..."
He asked the question that concerned him most.
"I've tried my best to treat him. The rest depends on his own luck. Do your best and leave the rest to fate."
A Lin clasped his fists with difficulty and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Song. I would like to thank you on behalf of my son for your great kindness. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, I will not refuse. Even if Miss Song asks you to kill me, I will not refuse."
Song Ci twitched the corner of her mouth, then noticed that his right arm holding the sword was at a very twisted angle, "Your hand is broken."
Alin still held the sword in his hand, not because he didn't want to put it down, but because he really couldn't put it down.
His bones and muscles were tangled together and twisted into a knot.
But he didn't say a word, and Song Ci almost thought he had escaped unscathed.
"Come inside and I'll help you with this."
Seeing that she looked tired, A Lin declined politely: "Don't bother, Miss Song can just take care of the young master."
"Pei Ji needs your protection and care. If you don't get treatment in time, you will become a useless person in the future."
A Lin's eyes struggled, and after a while he said, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Song." He already owed enough favors, and in the future, his life would depend on Miss Song.
The treatment process was not easy for both of them. Song Ci had to help him adjust his bones and then fix them with gauze and wooden boards. Alin was in so much pain that sweat slid down his forehead to his jaw, and he didn't say a word.
His performance made Song Ci look at him with admiration. He was indeed worthy of being a trusted person by Pei Ji.
"Alright, for now, don't use your hands too much. If the bones break or get dislocated again, you won't be able to lift a sword anymore."
"But if I don't raise my sword now, I'm afraid..."
Song Ci knew what he meant. Outside, there were alien races chasing them like hunting dogs. If he lost his fighting ability, he and his companions would lose a layer of protection.
"Try not to get physical."
"good."
Song Ci immediately explained to him where Wanxiang and the others were, "Zhangtou and the others are quite skilled in martial arts. If we can find them, it would be a great help."
"I understand, Miss Song, don't worry, I will definitely send someone to bring them here safely."
"good."
After saying that, she helped Pei Ji treat his injuries and then helped Alin adjust his bones. Song Ci was so tired that she could hardly open her eyes. Alin saw her fatigue and got up and walked out.
The room was silent for a moment, with only Pei Ji and Song Ci left.
The next day, the first rays of morning sun shone into the house.
Song Ci looked up suddenly and saw Pei Ji sitting up and smiling at her, "You're awake."
