Faithful to Buddha, Faithful to You

Chapter 61: Canyon Tragedy

While everyone was busy, Rosh watched the sky silently and squatted into the grass for a moment, shaking his head with concern: "The black clouds are crushing, the insects are in a hurry, and there should be rain tonight. How can you stay in this valley? The sergeant will surely be overwhelmed and should be relocated to the high ground. ”

He still couldn't sit down and persuaded Lu Guangteng, while I was packing things in a set tent. Half an hour later, he came back and said with a dull face: "Lu Guang said that the sergeant was at rest and should not move any further.” He exhaled and looked at me strangely, "Irene, what are you doing? ”

I laughed and fastened my suit: "Be ready to run for your life. It's going to rain heavily tonight, and there's going to be plenty of water in this valley. ”

“Axel, you knew that already, didn't you?” He pulled my shoulder and his sharp eyes turned on my face. I vomited back at him.

“Aiqing, human life is precious, how can you not see it?” He let go of my shoulder and blamed me a little, "if he knew it was going to rain tonight, how could Rosh just save himself? ”

I couldn't bear to think that the rain would drown thousands of people. But... hesitated to say: "Rosh, it's not that I don't want to save, it's that I don't want to change history because of my involvement. Everyone has their own set number of lives, if I...”

“Irene!” He interrupted me and looked serious, "what about your appearance? There's a man in Rosh's life for more than a thousand years. Isn't life the norm? ”

He turned his head to the darkening day outside the tent and locked his pretty sword brow: “In short, whatever the outcome, Rosh would never sit idly by. Human life is the most precious thing in the world, and history is nothing but a later criticism, not fear. ”

“I get it.” Set aside your concerns, nod your head hard and hold his hand, "Lu Guang will not take your opinion, we will find someone who can listen. Rosh, you go talk to Dujin, he's the only sensible person around Lu Guang. I'll go to every tent and tell everyone not to sleep tonight and be ready to leave anytime. ”

His eyebrow lock opened and he smiled and nodded at me: "Thank you, Ai Qing...”

“Couples, thank you very much.” Take his hand out of the tent together, "whatever it is that changes history, I just want to do what a conscientious person should do in this situation. ”

Not surprisingly, Lu Guang couldn't hear Du Jin. Rosh and I had to notify each camp separately. Too many people, so much luggage, most people will also be suspicious and spend a lot of time talking. Fortunately, Du Jin also believed in Rosh, and the secret autobiography ordered the soldiers to cooperate and prepare.

I walked out of my last tent, and it was almost midnight, and the wind came through the canyon and whistled and rolled the dust from the fallen leaves around me in the air. As she dragged her tired body away from the wind and walked towards her tent, her head suddenly dripped over a raindrop of bean size. A lightning bolt crossed the infinite darkness in front of the valley, followed by a burst of thunder. The raindrops were getting bigger and denser, and I hurried to my own tent. When the side of your body is wet, suddenly you run close to a dark shadow. Hear my voice, it's Rosh! He ran to me and hid me in his arms, blocking the storm.

We were all wet when we ran into the tent. Quickly change into clean clothes and put on clothes. The noise and the horses outside became loud and noisy, and for a moment, the lightning went off and the rain went down.

Rosh picked me up in the carriage, and the driver and luggage were ready. He himself refused to come up and shouted to me in the rain: "You go first! I'll go find Du Jin. We have to evacuate the valley or we won't be able to hide in the valley until the rain starts flooding! ”

I won't, I'm going with him, and he's absolutely blocking me from getting out. “Listen, you can't stay in the rain too long. You'll get sick. You follow me, you drag me, I find Duin and I come back. ”

He gave the driver a few orders and rushed away. The carriage just drove a little while, and I heard a noise of chaos and a woman crying. Looking out, it's a bunch of musical dancers and craftsmen. They have no discipline from regular soldiers, and now no one organizes, carriages and camels are blocked, blocking the way out of the valley. I jumped out of the car and waved to make sure everyone didn't panic. In such a chaotic scene, the sound of thunder and thunder in the horses, my voice could not be heard very far. I was anxious and pulled the flashlight out of my arms and raised it brightly. This steady light really calmed the crowd down. I couldn't help but use this flashlight because I was afraid the battery would run out. Today I saw the emergency situation and it was late in the dark before I put the battery in my arms and put it back in my arms. Now I really need it.

I shouted out to everyone not to mess around, watching as I stroked out a pass, and the leader of each team came out to assist. I acted as a traffic policeman in the rain, directing for an hour, and the band and the craftsmen had withdrawn. Next up is the Camels, who took Lu Guang and scratched his belongings from Turtles. I stood in the rain for too long, my clothes were irresistible, and the new clothes were all wet. At midnight in early April, I stood so wet that my hands were frozen. The two hands alternately raised the flashlight, and the empty hand quickly put the hot air in the mouth, but it was futile.

I couldn't hold on to the freeze, my teeth started to rattle and my words were getting inconsistent when I shouted for command. But if I walk away, it'll be messy again. Lu Guang's ex-militaries and Chinese troops are still stuck in the middle of the valley, and the weight of these platoons behind them is now burdensome, heavy and slow. If we don't pull out soon, the big army behind us will be blocked. I stamped my feet in the mud, and my shoes were already in the water, and my feet were getting cold. I shuddered and bit my teeth and continued to wave the light.

I was freezing my head off and I was in a trance and suddenly I heard someone shouting my name. I tried to identify a few wind lights swinging fast in the darkness, and it was only close that I finally noticed that a group of people rushed in the dense rain silk, the first of which was Rosh and Duin!

Rosh rushed in front of me, touched the clothes on me, looked at my forehead again, and couldn't help but pick me up and rush towards the carriage. I tried to tell him that I was okay, but when I touched his warm chest, I realized that I was freezing fast and unpopular.

I was taken into the carriage, and he told the cabbie to stay out and don't let anyone in. Then take off all my clothes and take out the thickest winter clothes in my bag and cover my whole body. He took off his clothes and drilled in and rubbed my arms with both hands.

In his warm surroundings, I finally softened up. He watched me regain my temperature, put on my dry clothes, my eyes filled with pain and blame, but he didn't say anything. Wrapped me up like a polar bear, confirmed that my hands and feet were warm, then he put on his coat and went out, but came back soon. He told me that Duin's men had taken over command, and now it's our turn to go out.

Our carriage drove across the valley, a group of soldiers waving the wind lamp in my hand my way, and dug in and stood and pointed. Seeing the order now, I relaxed and fell asleep in Rosh's arms.

When I woke up the next morning, I found myself without signs of illness. I'm glad Rosh got back in time last night. Jump out of the carriage and gaze at the sky. It's cleared, the sun is warm, and apart from the mud on the ground, there's no sign of last night's pounding rain. We were resting in a highland, looking around, wretched. Everyone, every camel and horse, is covered in mud. Soldier's servants waited for nothing to enjoy in the carriage, and slept upside down wherever they could sit. Everyone stayed up all night and didn't have the strength to camp again.

Rosh jumped off the wagon too and stood behind me and measured with me. After escaping from the valley, we leaned in the carriage and closed our eyes for a while. A small group of people came towards us. The leader was wearing armor, tall and bright, and kept a tight, tired face, which is exactly what Du Jin.

He walked up to us and held his chest in his arms. We hurried back.

“Last night, the virtues of magicians and princesses saved tens of thousands of lives, and Du's gratitude could not be rewarded. ”

“General Du must not say that this is what the Roche and his wife should have done.” Rosh answered calmly with his hands closed.

“General Doe, how are the casualties?” I am anxious to ask that my heart is still somewhat obsessed with my active participation.

“The blessings of the toads and princesses, only part of the rear army that finally failed to withdraw from the valley, were flooded and thousands lost. ”

I'll stay. I've done everything I can to get involved, to inform people early, to evacuate traffic using modern methods, but the result is still, as the history says, "Thousands of dead”. So, if I was out of my mind, how many would have died?

“It is a great privilege not to hurt the fundamentals.” Perhaps seeing the color of intolerance on Rosh's face, Du Jin added, "It's been flooding since the heavy rain, but for more than a few hours. The moment of disaster, late at night. If everyone sleeps, and the consequences are unimaginable, will it stop these thousands of people? I'm afraid we're all going to die in this valley. Fortunately, the magician was able to evacuate quickly after the princess had painstakingly notified him that no one was asleep. ”

Rosh looked at the nightmarish valley not far away, and there was mercy in his eyes, and he breathed out a long breath and prayed with his hands to Du Jin: “General Du, please allow Rosh to recite the Book of Excellence for the dead when they are buried. ”

“The magician is truly a man of mercy and wisdom, Du is truly admired! Any future assignment of the magistrate will surely lead to the death of Du.” Du Jin suddenly held his fist against Rosh's half-bound knee, so solemnly surprised us, Rosh hurried him up.

“By the way, what lamp did the princess use last night? You can actually see it from far away, and it's bundled and can swing at will.” Du Jin worshipped me again, "last night was so disorderly, if the princess didn't give the right instructions, Camel Macedo, would have delayed the hour. The princess owes much to this service. ”

“This...” I clasped my teeth and my head turned desperately.

“This is a gift from King Kangju to my king. I hear it came from Qin in the extreme west. This is the only one my king gave to the princess. ”

I glanced at him and saw no waves in his face. I had to add a sentence with my teeth: "Yeah, there's only one in the world, but last night it was soaked in water for too long and it's broken.” It didn't lie to him, it really blew up.

Du Jin expressed a pity, a few more words to arrange the camp. I shouted and pulled his horn: “Aren't you delusional? ”

He glanced at me and said softly, "If it were a thousand years later, he would feel even more delusional. ”

He shot me sharply in the eye, and I hurried to do the handover without killing him: “I'm sorry, I dare not. Next time, never come forward with something. ”

He sighed and took my hands up high, his eyes full of sorrow: "Not to blame you for that. It's a matter of priority. Last night's situation, of course. It's just that you didn't care so much about your body last night. You almost froze to death? ”

I stopped and laughed at him. It's the first time he's called it, it's warm in his heart.

“Look at you, you can still laugh!” He was upset and tapped my head. I knocked on his light door when he was a kid. When did it go upside down? I was about to mumble a few words and saw him say, "If it freezes out, Lu Guang won't stop the whole team for you. The road is turbulent and there is a lack of medicine. If the illness gets worse..."

Suddenly he paused, his face appeared fearful of the look I had never seen, and his eyes looked sadly at me: “If there is no cure here, I'm afraid Rosh will have to let you go back to your time...”

Just chirp in his heart and immediately understand why he's scared. The boss's words swept through his head quickly, and for a moment, I was more afraid than him. Mmm-hmm. Try to disperse the things I don't want to face. Look him in the deep eye and solemnly raise your hand and swear, "Don't worry, I will protect myself. Because of you, I've never felt so important about my body. This body is not just mine, it's yours. ”

He curled his mouth and laughed lightly. Break my sworn hand down: "Let's go see if there are any wounded. ”

He held me by his gentle hand, the spring breeze brightened his monk's coat, and the sun shined a golden light on him. I couldn't help but smile and wrap my fingers around his hand and walk forward with him.

We took three days off before we left. Thousands of people have died, many of whom have been washed away by the floods. Only a third were found, digging a large pit and burying all the bodies in one place. For Lu Guang's stupidity and paranoia, they gave their lives without a tombstone. Rosh has been busy for three days, insisting on reciting the Bible to each of the dead. Lu Guang felt disgraced when he saw Rosh always avoiding in a shade.

Three days later, we walked into the valley of memory again, and the whole team was silent, only in noisy footsteps, the wagon's bustle, the clanging of the camels, echoing in the valley. The sky above, the sun shines, thousands of people break their souls overnight, but who can remember?
