"Uh! Uhhhhhh...!"

pain!

The heartbreaking pain, like a burning flame, dominated all of Nishino's nerves.

Under the intense stimulation of such severe pain, he could not even utter a complete scream.

However, after all, Nishino is a Sadamachi Doshin who is used to seeing the storm.

He relied on his strong willpower to hold back the pain, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at his body.

His current state... although it cannot be said that he has been shot into a hedgehog, the situation is by no means optimistic!

I saw a total of 6 arrows sticking straight out from various places on his body.

1 arrow in the left arm, 1 arrow in the left calf, 1 arrow in the right thigh, 1 arrow in the flank, 2 arrows in the chest...

Chain armor can effectively defend against slashes, but it does not have such good protection against penetrating attacks.

Bows and arrows are the most powerful weapons in the cold weapon age, bar none.

Facing the arrows fired from a close range with the bow, chainmail and the like are simply useless!

Limbs are not important body organs, so Nishino's left arm, left calf and right thigh ached, but these injuries were not fatal.

As for the two arrows in the chest... Nishino was very lucky. The two arrows did not penetrate the gap between the sternum and the ribs, but hit the sternum and ribs exactly, and were blocked by the hard bones.

Although most of the bones hit by the arrow were cracked, the important heart and two lungs were saved.

Only the arrow on the side... is very troublesome.

The flanks are not surrounded by bones such as the sternum and ribs like the chest.

Only soft skin and muscles protect the belly.

The protective power is inherently weak, but a large number of important organs such as the stomach, liver, gallbladder, spleen, intestines, and kidneys are all located in the abdomen.

Whether it is a hole in the intestines and stomach, causing food and gastric acid to leak out, or damage to the liver, spleen, and kidneys, in this era before antibiotics have even been invented, these are serious injuries that are extremely difficult to cure even if sent to the doctor immediately.

.

Centered on the arrow buried deeply in his side, a large amount of blood spread out on his clothes.

In the blink of an eye, less than half of the clothes on Nishino's abdomen were stained black with blood.

Nishino has never had the experience of being shot in the stomach by an arrow - most people who have experienced this are dead.

But based on his current physical and mental condition, he concluded that he would not die soon.

However...if he doesn't receive timely treatment or the wound opens, he will eventually die.

This is what the average person should end up with after encountering a bow and arrow.

The kind of person who can casually dodge arrows or chop down flying arrows is a completely different species.

Nishino put the Zhenzhu in his hand on the floor and struggled to sit up.

"My grandson...? Hello! Hello!!"

Nishino looked at my grandson beside him.

Just now, thanks to my grandson's timely swoop, both of them were able to save their lives.

The Fire Thief Kai is a special security force composed of members of the Advanced Bow Team and the Advanced Iron Cannon Team.

Therefore, the sounds that my grandson, who was born as a fire thief, hear the most are the sound of strings and the sound of gunshots.

My grandson heard the sound like something being tightened coming from the room, which was the sound of a bowstring being fully drawn, so he immediately threw Nishino to the ground - fortunately, the two of them were able to pull all the strings together.

Minimize damage.

Otherwise, if they were hit by such a fierce rain of arrows head-on, Nishino and my grandson would probably be killed on the spot without even having time to scream.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that my grandson is Nishino's savior.

Therefore, when his consciousness and sanity were slightly restored, Nishino immediately turned his head to check my grandson's condition.

After seeing the other person's engraved appearance, his pupils shrank instantly.

Judging from the number of arrows, my grandson's situation is slightly better than Nishino's.

Nishino was hit by 6 arrows and my grandson was hit by 5 arrows.

It's just that... the place where my grandson was hit by the arrow is very bad.

One arrow below the right clavicle, one arrow on the right shoulder, one arrow on the left forearm, and two arrows on the flank.

Injuries to the collarbone, shoulder, etc. are not ignored for the time being.

The injury to the abdomen... was seriously visible to the naked eye.

The blood loss was extremely fast. In just a few blinks, the clothes on his abdomen were soaked in blood so that the original color could not be seen.

Although Nishino does not understand medicine, he still judged based on his old experience that the aorta in my grandson's abdomen should be damaged...

"Hey! Wake up! Are you still conscious? Can you still speak?"

Nishino no longer cared about holding the knife, grabbed my grandson's shoulders with both hands, and patted his extremely pale face.

"Well..."

My grandson's eyelids were raised tremblingly.

Even though his face was already covered with a huge amount of cold sweat, he still grinned and said softly in his unique way of speaking with a long and drawn-out ending:

"Oops~ Were we ambushed..."

Nishino and my grandson both turned their heads and looked at Phoenix House Yataro's bedroom.

It happened to be a coincidence that when the two people looked at each other, the two sliding paper doors that were riddled with holes from the dense rain of arrows collapsed with a "bang", revealing the scene inside.

I saw murderous intent lurking inside the room!

Twenty or so fully armed archers formed a two-file battle formation with "the front row squatting and the back row standing", and the arrows they re-strung were aimed straight at Nishino and my grandson.

In the darkness, the arrow clusters glowed with cold air.

"Huh? It doesn't seem like the person coming is Tachibana Aoden?"

At this time, a middle-aged man's voice, which sounded like a pig's braying, attracted the attention of both Nishino and my grandson.

The two of them looked around - a fat man covered in fine clothes walked out of the shadows of the room.

This person's image... To put it nicely, it's not flattering; to put it harshly, it's too ugly to be seen.

A shiny face and a body as fat as a ball.

Her big belly, as if she had been pregnant for ten months, held up her thick cotton clothes.

A pair of small mouse-like eyes that kept turning.

What's even worse is that he also has a pair of conspicuous buck teeth sticking out of his lips, which makes him look more like a wretched mouse.

He has a businessman-style Tsukiyo head, which reveals an ugly and uneven skull.

Although there are no hard and fast rules, generally speaking, samurai's Tsukiyo hair buns are tied on the top of the head, while civilians and merchants' Tsukiyo buns are tied farther back.

In a word - this man is as ugly as an unjust case.

"Nishino-kun...this guy...is Phoenix House Yataro..."

"Ah, I can see that."

Even without my grandson's introduction, Nishino dared to conclude that this big fat man was Phoenix House Yataro!

In the feudal era, when productivity was low and food generally lacked oil, water and calories, he developed such a plump and plump body - the image of a privileged businessman with extremely high standards.

"Hey! Who are you two?!"

Phoenix House Yataro walked up to the more than twenty archers with his hands on his hips and a swaggering square step.

He was cautious, even though both Nishino and my grandson were injured, he still kept his distance from them.

At this time, my grandson's mental state was slightly better.

He gently pushed away Nishino's hand that was supporting his shoulder, then leaned on the ground with a knife and struggled to sit up.

"Wow~ This body shape... is really amazing~~ How arrogant and lustful a life do you lead to be able to maintain such a round body?"

Phoenix House Yataro frowned.

How could he not hear the sarcasm hidden in my grandson's tone?

"I ask again, who are you two? Are you Tachibana Aoden's associates?"

Nishino remained unmoved on the surface, but secretly he began to think:

——Tachibana Aoden? Why did this guy mention Tachibana Aoden’s name?

Although Nishino has been living a hard life hiding in XZ these days, he is still aware of some major news that has happened recently.

Therefore, he knew of Qingteng's feat of kicking the Qingshui clan 13 times last night.
