How To Survive as a Villain

When he saw Xiao YuAn was defenselessly sleeping in the inner part of the bed, Yan HeQing raised his eyebrows with light surprise: “You’re quite at ease with me around.”

Xiao YuAn was so tired that he had already entered a state of shallow sleep, he didn’t care whether Yan HeQing will understand his words or not: “Yan-ge, even though you’re a Tyrannical President, I know you’re not the type of Tyrannical President who thinks with the lower half of his body.”

Yan HeQing, on the other hand, no longer bothered him and blew out the candle light placed on the low table. Then, he continued to read the military book with the help of the moonlight shining down from outside the tent.

Although Xiao YuAn was so sleepy that he couldn’t speak well, he still said after feeling that the light had dimmed: “Light up the… candle, I… I can sleep, you…. don’t damage your eyes… light, light it up.”

However, Yan HeQing didn’t light the candle, so Xiao YuAn kept talking until the tent was lit by candlelight again.

The next morning, when Xiao YuAn woke up, he found that last night he was sleeping alone when his eyes closed, and after opening his eyes, he was still sleeping all by himself.

The tent was also empty, and Yan HeQing was nowhere to be seen.

Xiao YuAn put the mask on his face and walked out of the tent quite confused. Outside the tent, he found that the entire barracks was empty, so he went to a stationed guard and asked: “Where’s your Emperor?”

“Xiao, Physician Xiao? His Majesty led his troops to battle early this morning.” The guard replied.

“In such a hurry?! But he’s still wounded!!!” Xiao YuAn shouted.

“Ah…? Isn’t it a common thing to be wounded in a war?” The guard was dumbfounded by Xiao YuAn’s sudden outburst.

“…….” Xiao YuAn found that he was being a bit impolite, so he covered his mouth and coughed. Then he bowed his head and waved his hands, but didn’t say anything else as he got up, walking towards the tent where the injured and disabled soldiers were resting.

For the next few days, the wounded soldiers were constantly sent from the battlefield to the military tent. Most of them were covered entirely in blood, and the lucky ones would only suffer from knife and arrow wounds. The unfortunate ones will lack arms and legs, and the most unfortunate of them will directly lose their lives.

Xiao YuAn can easily smell the blood in the air, making him feel nauseous. At one time, a soldier whose face was cut open to the point that the jawbone was visible, was sent into the military tent. Xiao YuAn had desperately tried everything he could to save him, but in the end he still failed to pull that soldier back from Guimen Pass. The only thing he could do was watch the soldier dying in pain after losing his vital energy.

After the corpse of that soldier was wrapped in white cloth and carried out of the tent, Xiao YuAn couldn’t help but hold his throat outside the tent as he vomited for a little while. A soldier helped him, patting him on his back: “Physician Xiao, are you alright?”

Xiao YuAn waved his hand and then wiped it clean with clear water. Then he patted the young soldier’s shoulder and said earnestly: “If in your next life you become a CEO, remember to support the medical system when you do charity.”

The young soldier was very confused: “Huh? Wha-? What? Ah?”

Before Xiao YuAn could recover his strength, someone entered the tent while shouting out loud: “Physician! Save him! Quickly save him!! Physician!”

“Thi-….. this way.” After vomiting, Xiao YuAn’s voice was a little weak, so he simply shut up and directed the soldier carrying another soldier to put him down. He then took the gauze and the medicine to stop the bleeding, but when he saw the soldier’s face, he was stunned: “Deputy General Chen?!”

Chen Ge’s right shoulder was pierced by a sharp arrow and his abdomen was also hit by another arrow. He must’ve passed out due to the blood loss, so Xiao YuAn didn’t dare to neglect him and began to take out the arrow. Unexpectedly, the arrow of the Eastern Wu Kingdom had a hook and couldn’t be taken out without cutting the flesh open, worsening the wound. At this, Xiao YuAn grit his teeth and used a knife to take out the arrow.

Probably because it hurt so much, Chen Ge surprisingly woke up in the middle of the process, and then he began to howl. Xiao YuAn almost lost his hearing by Chen Ge’s howling, so he knocked him unconscious with a knife hand strike¹, which had stunned the young soldiers around them.

When Deputy General Chen woke up for the second time, his first words were: “Don’t knock me out!! I have something to say!”

Xiao YuAn was wrapping the final bandage, so he raised his chin to indicate that Chen Ge could say it. Then, Deputy General Chen howled: “This battle will soon be over! We’re about to win! Aahhhhhhh it hurts!! Motherfucker it really hurts! Holy shit!!”

Xiao YuAn rubbed his ear, and without hesitation, he knocked Chen Ge out with a knife hand strike again.

XYA’s job is so hard! And he has to do it all alone (´；Д；｀)

I hope everything is going well on the battlefield for YHQ’s side _(」∠ ､ﾝ､)_
