Before long, a large number of Pei family troops also rushed in, and Han Zhongyu and Xuanyuan Che's men fought and looked for a place to retreat.
The shops in the city were interconnected. By this time, the people had already evacuated under the supervision of the government. Almost all the shops were locked. When Lan Ting and the others escorted Xuan Yuan Che and the others to the front of a restaurant, they smashed open a door, slipped inside, and then retreated out through the back door.
After several such moves, they finally reached the edge of the city, and the sounds of fighting gradually faded away.
As fate would have it, when the group looked up, they saw a clinic diagonally across the street. Although it was locked and the doctors might not be available, they were sure they would have the medicinal herbs. So the group went into the clinic.
The clinic had enough space, but unfortunately, it didn't have the medicinal herbs they were hoping for. They guessed that there were too many wounded people these past few days, and the city's medicinal herbs had been requisitioned.
They even took out the hemostatic medicine kits that Lanting and the others always carried and gave them to the brothers who were injured earlier.
At this point, it's really frustrating.
Xuanyuan Che suddenly realized that Xie Yushu, being such a meticulous person, might also be carrying some life-saving pills. Therefore, he said to Han Zhongyu...
"Check if she has any pills on her."
There might be a way to save someone's life!
Han Zhongyu disregarded all rules and refused, and touched Xie Yushu's waistband and cuffs, and sure enough found a small bottle. Fortunately, it contained hemostatic pills.
There were only five left, and Han Zhongyu fed Xie Yushu one.
The other four were given to Lanting to feed to Qu Xiaodie, Nanxing, Muli, and a brother who was more seriously injured.
Han Zhongyu then remembered that he also had two pills left. His brothers in the Divine Eagle Guard and his secret guards, as well as Zhao Hu and the others, each had two pills. However, the battles these past few days had been too fierce, and many people had been injured repeatedly, so the hemostatic pills had long been used up.
Some were given to their brothers.
Some were even forgotten when the fighting started. Others were lost in the battle.
Upon seeing this, they all remembered and began checking their own bodies for any remaining pills. Some of them gave some to those who were more seriously injured.
Then they helped each other bandage the wounds.
All that's left is to wait where you are.
Apart from Xuanyuan Che and Liu Qiang, who were the last to arrive and still had some energy, everyone else was exhausted to the limit. They didn't care about their injuries or even the pain; they just collapsed and fell asleep or even passed out.
Han Zhongyu stood guard over Xie Yushu, his cheeks sunken and his eyes bloodshot, yet he refused to close them.
Xuan Yuanche said in an annoyed tone.
"I will make sure she doesn't lose a single hair. Look at your ghostly appearance, your eyes are as red as a rabbit's, and your beard is unshaven. Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd come back from the dead, yet you still insist on staring at her here."
With your appearance, even if she wakes up, you'll scare her to death again.
Go get some sleep. Even if you can't beat that guy surnamed Pei, at least you can still fight another hundred rounds.
When Han Zhongyu heard Xuan Yuanche say that he looked frightening, he couldn't help but touch his face, but he still refused to close his eyes. Xuan Yuanche couldn't stand it, so he imitated Xie Yushu, went around behind him, and suddenly struck him with a chop, knocking him unconscious.
Seeing that Han Zhongyu had completely fainted, Xuan Yuanche said to Lanting and Qingfeng.
"I will lead the brothers who came later to guard the area. You all should take a break while you can. The battle has not stopped for a moment. None of us are safe. It would be a waste of our lives to keep going like this. We should conserve our energy so that we can deal with the situation later."
It was rare to see Xuan Yuanche being so sensible, no, so considerate of his subordinates. Lan Ting and Qing Feng also went to sleep.
There were sixty or seventy people in the room, and more than half of them were wounded. Liu Qiang looked at Xie Yushu from afar, then at Xie Tianqi, who was also unconscious, and the wounded brothers around him. He called two people to go to the back room to see if there was any food, thinking of cooking some porridge for everyone.
Not to mention how much energy they expended traveling and fighting, just the fact that they were so badly injured and bleeding meant they couldn't hold on without eating something.
Fortunately, the family didn't take all the food; they found a clay pot of white rice under a cabinet in the inner room.
It weighs about ten pounds.
Liu Qiang had people wash all the pots and pans, big and small, and cook all the rice into porridge.
After simmering for two full hours, until it became sticky, fragrant, and almost melted, Xie Tianqi woke up, howling and calling for Xie Yushu.
His kung fu was relatively weak compared to the others, yet he insisted on coming along. The fight had barely begun when he was stabbed in the back and leg, nearly dying. If it weren't for Liu Qiang and Chen Chuang protecting him, Xie Tianqi would definitely have been among the first to die.
Even so, towards the end of the fight, he was stabbed in the abdomen and fainted before he could see Xie Yushu.
Liu Qiang carried him almost entirely in the latter half of the journey.
Xie Tianqi naturally knew that his skills were inferior to others, but he was extremely worried when he thought of his sister on the battlefield. His sister had single-handedly built up their family and brought him and Xie Tianming to the city, finding them jobs. In his heart, Xie Yushu was more important to him than Lu Shi.
Therefore, even if it meant his death, he would bring Xie Yushu back from the battlefield.
Whether it's a person or a corpse.
That's why he insisted on coming.
He's not that great; he can't protect the Great Qi, but he has to protect his sister.
But he was naive. The battlefield was far more brutal than he had imagined. Every moment, people fell around him, and the stench of blood made him want to vomit. He saw countless severed arms, ears, and thighs. This was hell on earth.
But his sister had already been in such a place for five days and four nights.
He dared not think about whether his sister was still alive or not; his only belief was to see her, whether she was alive or dead.
Even while unconscious, this was his greatest obsession.
Therefore, once people become conscious, they start calling out to find Xie Yushu.
Xuan Yuanche covered his mouth and pressed his hands down to make him sober up.
"Don't move around. We finally managed to stop the bleeding. If you move it and reopen the wound, we won't have any medicine left. Behave yourself, and I'll take you to find your sister."
When Xie Tianqi heard that he could see Xie Yushu, he finally behaved himself. Seeing that he was no longer moving, Xuan Yuanche grabbed his belt and dragged him to Xie Yushu.
Although the methods used in the past were not very presentable, Xie Tianqi was finally relieved to see that Xie Yushu was still alive.
However, seeing Xie Yushu covered in injuries, as were Nanxing and Qu Xiaodie, and with Chunyu and Hongmei Zhaotu nowhere to be seen, she immediately burst into tears. Even without asking, she knew that the missing people were probably gone.
Seeing Xie Yushu and the others in such a miserable state, Xie Tianqi felt both heartache and sadness, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
It fell into Xie Yushu's hand, and she hurriedly tried to wipe it off. This commotion finally woke Xie Yushu up.
