Chapter 329 Blowing Water and Healing

Bo Ling keenly captured the new information, "...When did Pingjing have refugees?"

Bai Yi didn't answer right away.

The firelight reflected on his face, making his expression look complicated.

After a moment of silence, he patted the ashes on his hands, and said lightly, "Actually, there have been some in recent years, but the number is small, and there is no difference when mixed with beggars and vagrants. "

"Are they all from the north?"

"Yeah." Bai Yi nodded, "There have been more in the past six months, and there should be more in the future."

Bai Ling's eyes sank slightly, "How's the scene going?"

"It was quite tragic. I heard that it was a burglary. The houses in the south of the city are very dilapidated, and sometimes three or five families are crowded in a big house. So there are heavy casualties." Bai Yi replied calmly, "My father and I rushed to At that time, those who were seriously injured were basically in a state of hemorrhagic shock. There is no blood transfusion equipment here, so basically they can only wait to die."

"How many casualties?"

"Eleven or twelve," Bai Yi replied in a low voice, "the murderers have all been arrested and brought to justice. Such a bad case may shock the government and the public again when it is interrogated."

Bai Ling couldn't help but turned around and looked at his yard.

The incident of being chased and killed by someone also happened here once.

It's just that the queen mother sent someone to bring some snacks, so she and Bai Yi escaped unharmed.

Bo Ling walked to Bai Yi's side and sat on the nearby wooden stake.

"...Did the operation go well?" Bai Ling asked softly.

"Well, it went well." Bai Yi nodded, and there was a bit of subtle tenderness in his eyes, "Anyway, the wounds are debrided first and then sutured. I have prepared all the necessary things in the Tai Hospital before, so it's not too difficult But whether he can be saved in the end depends on the sky. The wound is so deep, and there is no tetanus vaccine here...it's hard to say."

Having said that, Boyi paused, "Anyway, I sent people to take the wounded to the Tai Hospital, where there are apprentices who can take care of them day and night. Let's observe and see if we can make it through... at least It will take two weeks before we can have a definite conclusion."

"These two weeks, you will have a hard time."

"Yeah, I have to go over early tomorrow morning to check the situation. Anyway, it's similar to the previous rounds." At this moment, he looked at Bai Ling beside him with some concern, "Are you tired all day in the palace today?" Is it? I feel that your complexion is worse than last night... If there is nothing else, you can go to rest. "

Bo Ling just shook his head, "Even if I go to bed now, I won't be able to fall asleep."

She leaned back slightly and leaned against the closet behind the stake.

Looking at the fire, Bai Ling's expression became a little dazed.

"...I'm a little afraid of fighting." She murmured.

"Well, everyone is afraid." Bai Yi took a long stick at the side and poked the fire under the stove, "There are no eggs in a full nest."

"If there was a fight, would you go to the front?"

The movement of Bai Yi's hands stopped, he turned his head to look at Bai Ling, and Bai Ling was also looking at him.

"No." Bai Yi replied.

Bo Ling lowered his eyes and smiled, "Really?"

Bai Yi stood up and lifted the lid of the pot. The hot water in the pot had begun to boil slightly. He brought two buckets and began to fill them with water. He said while working, "Have you heard the joke about Russell's World War I? "

"what?"

"During the First World War, the great philosopher Russell did not go to the battlefield. An old lady accused him, 'Young man, other young people have put on military uniforms to defend civilization on the front line. Look at yourself. Don't you feel ashamed?' .”

"En." Bai Ling nodded, looked at Bai Yi who imitated him so vividly, and said very cooperatively, "Then how did Russell answer?"

Bai Yi said with a straight face, "'Oh, madam, I am the kind of civilization they want to defend'."

In the darkness, the two laughed together.

Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief, she patted her clothes and stood up, helping Bai Yi to pass the empty bucket from a distance.

Bai Yi took over the empty bucket, "If I had encountered this kind of thing in my teens or 20s, I would have rolled up my sleeves and rushed forward. Not now."

"why?"

"Only people of that age would dare to charge forward. Believe that they can bring about change, and dedicate themselves to some illusory slogans... But look at history, has the world ever changed?"

Bai Ling opened her eyes slightly - she was also thinking about this question not long ago.

Bai Yi continued, "All wars are a group of people paying for the madness of a few people. Doctors spend years or even decades conquering a disease to save the lives of hundreds of patients. But those machinations Thousands of healthy, young bodies can be thrown into a meat grinder with just a few clicks..."

Having said that, his voice lightened slightly, "Don't you think this is ridiculous?"

Berlin didn't answer.

She raised her head slightly, this question was so difficult to answer.

Bai Yi took a deep breath, "When people are young, they always look at themselves. Looking at their lifelong ideals and ambitions, pursuing certain inevitable missions... When they are older, they will look back at themselves. His family, looking at his own circle, even those classes that he feels strange and has never actually come into contact with.

"He will see the connection between people, see his own insignificance... In short, he will understand that he is just an ordinary person among all living beings in the final analysis.

"He will also understand that some slogans that are shouted loudly are all lies, empty words, and are bait to fool people into selling their lives.

"Compared with those things, you will care more about whether your family can have enough food, whether your child can go to school, and whether he can grow up safely."

Bai Shijun coughed from the old house.

Bai Yi smiled wryly, "Except for him."

Bai Ling looked at Bai Yi quietly, she had already sat back on the previous stake.

The big boy in front of him seemed completely unaware of the contradictions in his words and deeds.

He always likes to describe himself as some kind of realistic, mature... even with a bit of a philistine image.But in fact, at certain moments of bottoming out, his choices were not much different from Bai Shijun's.

Bo Ling yawned lightly.

She felt relaxed again.

This has happened many times in the past. The two chatted and dragged each other's concerns from the real level to an abstract framework discussion, and both of them are very good at blowing water on this topic.

Obviously reality has not changed at all, but suddenly, it becomes something that can be understood and disassembled with familiar cognitive structures.

Bo Ling propped up his chin, and gently shook his toes.

However, this kind of contradiction seems to be completely self-consistent with Bai Yi.

For some reason, she vaguely felt that Bai Yi needed this mask very much.

In order to protect Bai Yi, it seems that she should keep silent about her new discovery, but a certain kind of good mood makes her want to try a little bit.

"I have a question." Bo Ling said suddenly.
