Chapter 751
"It's really okay? Don't force it," Bai Yi supported Bai Ling, and carefully crossed the threshold of the general's mansion. Under the dim light of the lantern, Bai Ling's face turned slightly blue, "...Since we are here, we Not bad for this one night."

"Let's go to Old General Shen first," Bai Ling whispered, her expression slightly painful, "but I really have to... sit down and rest for a while."

After entering Yanzhou, Bai Ling felt a little uneasy when he heard that Shen Jichuan did not live in the military camp outside the city, but was recuperating in the general's mansion in the city.

After revealing their identities, she and Bai Yi hardly encountered any obstacles along the way. On the one hand, it was because of "Lin Bai"'s reputation outside, and on the other hand, it was Jin Yiwei who had been keeping an eye on the movements in the city.

Under their instructions, after entering the city, Bai Ling hardly touched the ground. She turned from a carriage to another sedan, and first went to a very thoughtfully arranged warm pavilion, where she rested. After a while, at the strong request of Bai Ling, everyone sent her to the mansion of the General's Mansion.

The warm Tang Pozi was delivered wrapped in a fluffy cloth cover, and when it cooled a little, someone came over to replace Bai Ling.

This kind of meticulousness came from whose instigation, and everyone knew it.

The servants of the General's Mansion led Bo Ling and his party to slowly walk towards the courtyard of Shenjichuan. When approaching the door of the house, Bo Ling saw a young guard not far away who seemed to be wiping tears.

The house was warm and warm, and several new lamps were lit, illuminating the entire outhouse brightly.

"You two wait here a moment." The old servant who led the way whispered, then turned and walked towards the back room.

Holding the handle of the chair, Bo Ling slowly leaned back on an extra wicker chair prepared for her in front of her. Her breathing became heavy and slow, and the wound on her lower back was always hurting. Bo Ling was a little suspicious of it. Is it cracked again, which is why there is such a continuous and dense pain.

The curtain in the middle was lifted, and the old servant's body poked out from it.

"Come in." He said softly.

Just as Bai Yi was about to lower his head to help Bai Ling, two people stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, and lifted up Bai Ling's rattan chair steadily. Bai Yi frowned, and followed into the room together.

Inside the house, Shen Jichuan had already half sat up.

At this moment, Shen Jichuan's whole body was as thin as a pair of dry bones, but his eyes protruded more than ever because of the dryness and fatigue of his cheeks.

The old man also laughed, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see the person in front of him more clearly.

Bai Ling saw that Old General Shen's eyes had an extra circle of silver with pale blue, like a silver circle - it was a very serious vision, but it made his eyes look more than ever. Be clear and sharp.

On Shen Jichuan's face, Bo Ling also recognized Shen Mu, who was somewhat similar to the empress dowager before she died.

"General Shen." Bai Ling was slowly placed beside the stove not far from Shen Jichuan. She looked at the old man's face and smiled a little moved.

Shen Jichuan tremblingly raised his left hand and made a driving motion towards the old servant.The old man's hand seemed to have only a layer of skin left, and every time he moved, Bai Ling seemed to hear the sound of bones rubbing from his joints.

Bo Ling also pushed Bai Yi's hand.

Soon, only Bai Ling and Shen Jichuan were left in the room.

"...How young, you guys." Shen Jichuan looked at the direction in which Bo Yi was leaving, and murmured like a sigh in his throat, and now every word he said seemed to be mixed with a chaotic sound, "I... "

Bai Ling couldn't help straightening up a little, and leaned towards Shen Jichuan - but still didn't hear the second half of his sentence.

She wanted to step forward and hold Shen Jichuan's withered hands, but she only moved a little, and the pain in her back made Bo Ling give up this idea, and leaned back on the back of the chair as if begging for mercy.

What Bai Ling didn't know was that when she was enduring the wound on her back, Shen Jichuan was also enduring the torture, enduring the torture of "living" itself.

Hunger and thirst are torture, but eating is also torture, boredom is torture, but breathing is also torture—every breath brings pain in the lungs and abdomen, his body is too weak to eat, Couldn't sleep either.

Can only wait quietly for death to release this dying situation.

Shen Jichuan looked at Bo Ling's fidgeting, and laughed like he was talking to himself, "You are young, like an old man...not energetic."

Bai Ling sighed with a smile, "I don't expect any vitality, it's not easy to save this life, General."

"I heard..." Shen Jichuan said in a low voice. He lowered his eyes slightly, and after building up his strength for a while, he looked at Bai Ling again, and said word by word, "It's amazing."

"I came to Yanzhou on the way to see you." Bai Ling said softly, "I heard that you have always carried that golden ball with you?"

"Ah."

"What about the symptoms like fear of loud noises? Are they better?"

"It's much better..." Shen Jichuan whispered, "It's been much better... Are you here specifically to ask this?"

"Yes." Bo Ling looked at Shen Jichuan, "I'll see what General Shen needs to help with."

"Oh," Shen Jichuan laughed, "there is... but you can't help."

"What is it?"

"...I want to sleep well." His eyelids sank slightly, and he suddenly laughed as he spoke, "Don't dream, it's best not to wake up..."

"Before I came here, I met that doctor Yuanshan." Bai Ling said softly, "He told me that after using the golden ball, the general's fear of the explosion gradually eased...but the nightmares are increasing day by day?"

Shen Jichuan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "Yeah...my retribution."

Bai Ling frowned slightly, "Retribution refers to the battle where the Jin soldiers first used earth mines on a large scale on the border more than ten years ago."

Shen Jichuan's body stiffened for a moment.

"Who told you?" Shen Jichuan paused, "A guest from the distant mountains?"

"No, I guessed it. A young non-commissioned officer there told me about it when I was looking around." Bai Ling said softly, "He told me that after you came back from Pingjing a few years ago, you I went to Yanzhou for the second time, and mourned again on the battlefield...I think everything that happened that year was probably very important to the general."

Having said that, Bai Ling fell silent.

Shen Jichuan seemed to be lost in memory, showing an indifferent look, and after a long time, he nodded dully.
"Yeah, I should thank you..."

"Thank me for what."

Shen Jichuan laughed, closed his eyes and said, "After weakening the evasion behavior, my illness will be improved... It's like turning on a pump, the most difficult thing is... let it run at the very beginning... do you remember."

He changed his posture in some pain, and his voice suddenly became much softer.

"Indeed... so it is."
