Chapter 67
***It turns like water, I forget what it tastes like***
I squinted my eyes and looked over Tokugawa Iemo's shoulder to see Shinpachi whose whole face was tangled together, probably frightened by my appearance, I reluctantly curled the corners of my mouth.
The left lung was shrinking, and I could feel it failing with every hard breath.I know that a person can live if he loses a kidney, and he can live if part of his liver is removed within a reasonable range, but if he loses one lung, in this era of limited medical technology, no matter how you think about it, the hope is very slim. Woolen cloth.
The light passing through in front of my eyes became more dazzling, which made me dizzy.Several men squeezed away Hijikata Toshizo, busy around me, taking the pulse and checking the injury, I heard their sighs in whispers.
"Sui..." I had a fishy sweetness in my mouth, and I felt that Hijikata Suizan took my shoulder and my heart calmed down, "Dragon... horse. Live, live..."
I took a sharp breath and leaned against Hijikata Toshizo, for the first time, I felt his body was very hot.
"Without my order, how dare you..." Hijikata Toshisan's voice was cold, "If you die, I will not let you go."
Heh... that's great, even if I die, he will remember me.The proof of existence, even with the power of historical revision, cannot be erased.I raised my hand with all my strength, and a big warm hand wrapped it tightly, "I won't let you go, not even if I die."
Ha, I slowly closed my eyes, and the world fell into darkness.
******
"How's it going?"
"Been sleeping."
I opened my eyes a little, and when my eyes became familiar with the light, I saw a strange room, with Toshizo Hijikata pacing back and forth in the room, and Keisuke Yamanan standing quietly on the side.
I sat up halfway while propping up on the ground, my body felt very strange, I raised my hand to touch my chest, and only felt a slight soreness.
"woke up?"
It was Hijikata Toshizo who supported me. I looked at him and nodded, then lowered my head in confusion. Was it just a dream?But there were obviously blood clots on the fabric of the chest, and a sweet smell could still be smelled carefully.
Hijikata Toshisan handed over a cup of warm water, and I reached out to take it, but the cup shattered and fell to the ground the moment I was wrapped around it, spilling clean water all over the floor.
"What?" I felt a little strange.
"Ishikawa-kun, in that attack just now, you bravely blocked the musket bullets for the general, and everyone in the world will be moved by your loyalty."
Keisuke Yamanan's words made memories flood in like a flood. First, Toshizo Hijikata stopped in front of Ieshige Tokugawa, and then I took a step in that direction by mistake. In a short period of time, I was shot and fell down.
I can still remember the painful pain, and I can also recall the feeling of powerlessness, but now I am clear-headed, not to mention the pain, there is almost no pain at all.
Back from the dead?At that time, I really felt that I was going to die. I looked at Hijikata Toshizo questioningly, and suddenly remembered the last time I was attacked by a ronin, so I smiled and said: "Oh, that's the same as last time, I thought it was a big deal. It can be fatal." I tilted my head and rubbed the location of the wound in my memory, "How long have I been asleep?"
"The time for half a stick of incense."
"The time for half a stick of incense?" I stared at Toshizo Hijikata in astonishment, seeing the blood on my chest, how did I recover after half a stick of incense, "Could it be that you gave me anesthetics?"
That's not right, I'm very conscious, "local anesthesia?" I added, but when I moved my whole body, there was no place where I didn't feel nothing.
"What's going on?" I realized that things were going in a weird direction.
Hijikata Toshizo pressed my shoulder, "Calm down and listen to me."
"I'm calm."
"You changed like water after you drank it." Hijikata Toshizo grabbed my hand a little harder, "That's why you survived."
Something exploded in my head and buzzed in my ears. I saw Hijikata Toshisan's mouth opening and closing and saying something, but it was just because of the tinnitus that I couldn't hear clearly.
I drank water like water?I pushed away Hijikata Toshisaka and rushed to the door, how could it be possible?When the paper door was opened, the sun poured on the body, and there was a slight burning sensation, but other than that, there was no other reaction.
Shannan Keisuke approached me, pushed me into the room, and closed the door, "Raksha's movements in the sun will be restricted, so don't ask for trouble."
"Don't lie to me! Where are the others?" I yelled to break away from Shannan Keisuke's hand on my back, "Shinpachi? Chief?" I searched around and smiled, "I see, I must It's the director's idea, right? He loves this kind of joke the most."
"Using Bian Ruoshui is the general's order." Hijikata Toshizo said softly, "But even if it wasn't like this, I would..."
"Shut up." I took a few steps forward and pulled out the gap between Hijikata Suishan's waist, pulled up my sleeve and made a cut on my arm. I gasped in pain, and stretched my arm to Hijikata Suishan In front of San, "Look, I'm not a Rakshasa."
Watching the blood flow, the smell of blood in the air is getting heavier and heavier, and I suddenly feel an unstoppable desire rising in my heart.
"Blood." I crashed into Hijikata Toshizo's arms, ran my hand along his neck and caressed his cheeks, my lips touched his delicate skin, blood vessels throbbed under the thin skin, delicious blood Exudes a fragrant smell.
My teeth were slowly digging into his flesh, and the blood immediately filled my mouth. I heard Hijikata Toshizo groan in a low voice, and I also heard Shannan Keisuke's stop behind him.
"Tong."
I heard Toshizo Hijikata whisper, "Tong."
Consciousness was withdrawn, I let go, and after seeing the wound on Tsuishan Hijikata's neck, I staggered a few steps.I became a monster, a blood-drinking monster.
Hijikata Toshizo grabbed my hand and wiped off the blood with his sleeve. The wound that should have been hideous in my imagination disappeared completely, as if it never existed.
The door opened suddenly, Hijikata Toshisan blocked me from the sun, and after the door closed, he dragged me down to the ground together.
"My lord," he said.
I looked up and saw a handsome face, he asked us to get up with a smile, "Are you all right?"
"It's nothing serious, my lord." Probably seeing that I didn't answer, Shannan Keisuke stepped forward and replied respectfully, "The effect of changing like water is gradually improving as imagined."
"It's okay to postpone the incident." Iemo Tokugawa looked at Toshizo Hijikata and me, "Thank you both for saving your life."
"It's his duty to protect the general's left and right." Hijikata Toshizo said solemnly.
"Okay. The heart of a samurai should be rewarded." Iemo Tokugawa looked at Toshizo Hijikata with a smile, and then shifted his gaze to my face, "You look somewhat similar to my imperial master, so I must be in the dark There is God's will in the world. Why don't you two just follow me?"
