Chapter 244 The Road to Home (2)

Chapter 244 The Way Home (Part [-])

Eighth day, close to noon.

When the scorching sun shone down from the sky, the mountain road was silent.

The imprints of a large number of people passing by are clearly imprinted on this mountain road at this time, wooden baskets, shoes, clothes, parcels, flags and even large and small wooden furniture, human footprints and footprints of various animals are out of order The ground spread out, lowered the grass, cluttered the shrubs, and when the mountain wind blew slightly from the shade of the trees, the rags swirled in the air and flew up.

Two figures came out from the shade of the trees, watched for a while, and then gestured to each other, walked towards the valley to check the direction of the crowd.

The wind stopped, and the bodies of the two men were exposed to the sunlight. It could be clearly seen that the two men were carrying weapons on their bodies, one of them had a bow on his back, and the other had a crossbow on his back.Due to the hot weather, both of them were wearing single clothes, but even so, the clothes on their bodies seemed to be pieced together, judging from their sensitive hands, they looked a bit like mountain wild clothes. Orion in between.

Of course they are not hunters.

The fragmentary leftover scenes in the valley are left by the fugitives after the Hangzhou military disaster. Due to the large number of people and lack of order, it is actually very easy to identify the general direction.One of them walked forward, while the other searched for things among the messy grass and the sundries discarded by everyone, bent down to pick them up from time to time, and then threw them away again.

When the person in front climbed up the mountainside over there and looked forward in the sunlight, the person in the grass here also suddenly found something, bent over to pick it up, and wiped it on his sleeve. .Not far away, the companion looked back from the hillside after seeing the traces in front of him. This person also waved his hand and raised the thing in his hand. Under the sunlight, it looked like a string of precious beads.

After waving his hand, the man leaned over to rummage in the grass again, but after searching for a while, he didn't find anything else of value.He stood up, looked at his companion who was walking, suddenly, his body shook, an arrow pierced obliquely into his chest, his tail feathers trembled in the air, under the dazzling sunlight in front of his vision, his The companion flew out suddenly, and another arrow turned into a black shadow and flew... This was the last scene he saw.

The person holding the bead chain in the valley shook a few times and then fell down. In the grass, another figure got up and fled quickly.Another arrow was shot, and two figures rushed out from the woods on one side, running while drawing their bows.Then another arrow crossed the man's side, bringing out a splash of blood.

The fleeing man turned around and returned an arrow, and ran into the woods, where one of the two men chased after him.The other person rushed to the corpse in the valley. He turned the corpse over, then carefully opened the fingers of the corpse, took out the bead chain, looked around, searched the corpse again, and found some broken pieces. Yinzi cursed, and then searched in the nearby bushes and bushes. After finding a few feet away, the companion who chased into the woods returned.The two of them looked at the bead chain together, and then they also surveyed the valley for a while. They seemed to find two more valuable artifacts before disappearing in another direction.

Not long after, under the scorching sun, dark figures appeared at the mouth of the valley.The crowd came here, and there was not much order. The few people in the lead rode horses, and the ones behind all walked.Someone was holding up the flag feebly, the larger one had the word "Fang" written on it, proving that it was an army following the Fang La uprising, while the smaller flags looked a bit varied, like "Li" and "Lu" Ah or something.

The clothes of these people were not neat, but most of them wrapped their heads in dirty red cloths. Some people took off the red cloths to wipe their sweat when they were tired from walking. Each of them carried one or two weapons of various kinds. Of course there are swords, guns, swords and halberds, but there are also many hoes and rakes. Most people have no morale. If you say they are bandits, only a few of them have the bravery of the legendary bandits. Unbearable, dragging the weapon under the scorching sun, sweating and walking weakly.Compared with the gangsters under Fang La's command that Ning Yi had seen in the city of Hangzhou, this group of people is far inferior.

100 people, 200 people, 300 people... When the people in front entered the valley, the team behind was still stretching outside the valley.They also obviously followed the traces of fleeing. The few people who were leading the horses looked at the traces in the valley, and pointed and whispered. After looking for it, he was pushed and shoved forward by his companions behind. When the valley was halfway through, a person in front turned around and pointed his horsewhip towards the woods beside him, and some people went into the woods.

After a while, shouts suddenly came from the woods, and the shouts suddenly reached the highest level, as if thousands of people were hiding in the woods and rushing out.The dark team in the valley panicked for a moment, but someone shouted, someone commanded, the men on the horses raised their long-handled weapons, and those who could have bows and arrows in the team also set up their bows and aimed at the woods.First of all, the companions who had entered the woods escaped in embarrassment, and then, a black crowd poured out, dressed in various clothes, looking shabby, with khaki turbans on their heads, and many people looked down at the crowd with their bows on their heads. Surprisingly, the group of people rushing out of the woods held the main banner with the word "Fang" as well, but on the other side banners, the words "Si" and "Yao" were written.

The man headed by Yanzhong was holding a big knife. At this time, he raised the weapon in his hand in front of the team and made a gesture to appease the subordinates behind him. He looked at the people above and fell silent for a moment before he said: "Yao Yi! What are you doing! We No grudges in the past, no grudges in the present, and you are also ordered by the commander-in-chief to go north, how dare you ambush me here!?"

The crowd in the forest surged for a while. After a while, a group of people separated from the crowd. The leader was a thin man with a pointed chin. He looked down with his head up, showing contempt, and then pointed to the flag on one side: " Ambush you! Lu Xie, I really want to ambush you! Don’t fight this flag at all, you are dead now!”

That Yao Yi's voice was also a little shrill, and he waved his hands and jumped as he said: "I won't kill you today! I, Yao Yi, take the word "righteousness" first, I can't do dirty things like secretly attacking friendly troops! But today I will kill you Hand it over to me! Who are you, despicable sneak attack, kill my scout—"

The man named Lu Xie in Guzhong was stunned for a moment, and cursed in dialect: "Damn it! Yao Yi! You have shit in your head! I don't even know what you're talking about! You take the word Yi first, and you change your name to Yao Yi!" The fucking righteous word is first, and you are now behind the righteous word! What a despicable sneak attack, killing your scout, I don’t know the slightest..."

"Fuck you! The surname is Lu! Your people are the closest to you. Let me tell you, none of my people died. One escaped, and he said it was yours! But after he finished speaking, he stopped The poison is dead, with snake venom, the people on your side are the most powerful, have I wronged you—”

The two sides yelled at each other, and after a while, they were getting closer and closer. Under the scorching sun, it seemed that their swords were on the verge of breaking out.In the foothills on one side, two eyes flashed past. In the woods a few miles away from here, another army was also resting at this time, preparing for the hottest moment before getting up and going Go north...

At the same time, in the woods dozens of miles away, two people carried a stretcher, one led a horse, and were moving quickly along a waterway through the forest. Naturally, one person slept on the stretcher, it was Ning. Yi.Su Tan'er walked beside him, and while walking, he waved a fan for Ning Yi, trying to drive away the heat for him.The one leading the horse was Geng Nursing House, who had been persuading Su Tan'er that she was pregnant and it was better to get on the horse, but Su Tan'er just shook her head silently and refused.

They stayed a little longer between the rear camps in the morning and mid-morning, and by this time they had been abandoned by the team.

For them, it was really a complicated morning. The news that Su Tan'er was pregnant was confirmed, followed by the news that Ning Yi's wound was infected, which made everyone almost at a loss.This kind of injury is common in battlefield knife wounds, and the fatality rate has even exceeded 50.00% in these years. Sergeants who have been injured all the year round cannot bear the injury, not to mention that Ning Yi is still fleeing at this time, and there is no time to rest at all.

Originally, with Ning Yi in this family, everyone basically had a backbone. Even if he told Juan'er that the situation was critical in the morning, Juan'er and others would not be too worried, because the uncle in the family is too powerful. There is not even a human sense that he cannot do.However, the sudden turning point in front of him almost made Su Tan'er stunned for a while and didn't know what to do, but it was also Ning Yi who calmly gave instructions after only a moment after knowing the injury.

Let the healing doctor prepare the medicine, prepare the knife, open the wound, scrape off the rotten flesh, let the family members prepare alcohol, needles and threads... In fact, for wound infection, now that there is no penicillin, the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is not the same. It is completely blank, there are always some medicines and methods that can have a certain effect.After all, there are doctors in the refugee stream who will bring medicinal materials, collect the medicinal materials through Qian Haiping, and boil the medicinal materials on the spot. At the same time, let the doctor treat the wound for the second time, disinfect it, suture the wound with needles and thread, etc. He is afraid that the doctor will not understand. He was so good at doing it that he even asked Su Tan'er and a few maids to wait beside him—in fact, he didn't see who sewed up the wound for him in the end. Give up resistance and let yourself pass out.

When the team set off again due to wound treatment, they were unable to follow.But Su Tan'er has recovered decisively at this time, she just left three nurses and two horses, one of which was given to the doctor who treated Ning Yi's wounds, so that the doctor could quickly follow the team later, and after that Even Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er were extremely resolutely arranged by her to go first.After knowing the news of her pregnancy, she almost doubled her determination. Others in the family could not refute it at all. In this way, they healed their injuries, boiled the medicine, and fed some Ning Yi who was in a coma mouth to mouth. , Several people just set off with a stretcher. Due to the hot weather, Su Tan'er kept fanning Ning Yi on the road.

The afternoon sun continued to pour down through the gaps in the trees, gradually there was a slight wind, and the sound of cicadas rang along the way. After all, the quality of the nurses of the Su family was better than that of ordinary soldiers. At this time, the two were carrying stretchers. Walk like flying.Feeling the cool breeze, Geng Nursing Academy tried to persuade Su Tan'er to get on the horse again just now, Su Tan'er shook her head: "It's okay." She paused for a moment, and she didn't know what to think, and then said: "Fang La's people can't catch up so fast ..."

"But...Miss...you have a child in your belly, you think about my uncle, he doesn't want to..."

"I'd rather not want this child!" She turned her head suddenly and said, holding Ning Yi's hand on the stretcher tremblingly with one hand, tears flashed slightly in her eyes, and she also walked quickly with the stretcher, "I am now ...I just want him to get better! I...I'm not so precious, Uncle Geng, don't worry..."

"but……"

Before Geng Nuyuan finished speaking, another voice rang out: "Ah...my wife is not so expensive, I know..."

Ning Yi shook Su Tan'er's hand, slowly opened his eyes on the stretcher, and then took a deep breath.Waking up from the stretcher, he used a modern name, but at this time, no one was going to study it. Everyone was excited, and then moved forward for a while, Ning Yi waved on the stretcher: "Stop...stop... ..."

In the morning, Juan'er only thought that he had a slight cold, and everything else was fine, but she fainted during the operation, which naturally shocked everyone, but when she got up at this moment, although it seemed difficult at first, but then he slapped Yawning, gradually recovering: "I slept very well this time, thank you everyone..."

After saying this, Ning Yi walked out of the woods and washed his face by the river next to him. Su Tan'er followed and stroked his forehead, but it was still hot.Ning Yi drank what he had brought along the way, and the rest was important. He hugged Su Tan'er by the river and attached his ears to her lower abdomen.Su Tan'er cried and shook her head: "It's not long, it's not long, I'm fine."

"I know... In the morning, if you had to fight hard, you could carry it down, but I fainted on purpose. Now take a rest and regain your energy. I know you are in good health, so we must hurry up to catch up with the team now, and then Do something, okay?" He said these words with a smile, and heaved a sigh of relief, "You have my child in your stomach, no matter what, I will keep you safe."

"Are you all right, the doctor said...the doctor said..."

"It's fine for the time being, I have a sense of proportion, don't worry."

He replied in this way, rode on the horse with Su Tan'er, told Geng Nuyuan and others to follow up quickly, and then chased after the fleeing team.

In the absence of sufficient living conditions, the fatality rate of wound infection after injury is as high as 50.00%, but even without penicillin, good care like Nightingale's medical team can still reduce the possibility of wound infection to [-]%. Less than two-thirds.Of course, for those who have already been infected, even if the wound is scraped off and there is good nursing care, this is not the case. He will still face the threat of a very high mortality rate. He can only use the treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine at this time and his own physical fitness to resist past.

He will still have a fever, and he may fall into a coma afterwards, but right now is not the time to sit and wait to die. Right now, he can still do some things, at least to minimize the fatality rate of encountering military disasters.

He actually doesn't care about the children, but now, he cares more about this wife and these family members.

No matter what method is used, they must be sent back!

The horses ran out of the woods at a moderate speed of caring for pregnant women, and headed towards the fleeing team ahead, chasing after them...

*****************

In the afternoon, Chen Xingdu rode up the hillside, opened the map, looked at the winding team below, and waited for the return of scouts.

He is 34 years old, he is still young, and he does not seem to be very dignified.He is not the highest rank general in the Wude camp, not even the deputy.In the past, his status was in a position of neither high nor low, and he was not a long-sleeved dancer. He didn't have any exposed domineering or natural leadership skills. Now, he has become a member of this collapsed team of nearly ten thousand people by accident. For him, Commander Fang is a huge pressure, but of course he also understands that this is also a huge opportunity.

The Wude camp was defeated in less than half a month after defending Hangzhou. After the fall, all the generals from senior to mid-level generals will be liquidated, and he is among them.But right now, this team has gathered nearly half of the rich and powerful people in Hangzhou. As long as he can take them out and let these people remember this favor, he will immediately become the commander of the capital in the future even if he can't reach the sky in one step. The title of commander is absolutely indispensable, and the future is hard to limit, but the problem is that this team will also become the focus of Fang La's army. On the way to Huzhou and Jiaxing, there are still bandits making trouble.He didn't know how to get over the situation where there was no way out and there were chasing soldiers. He was not good at this aspect.

A group of scouts sent farther away had returned not long ago, and several strands of Fang La's army had begun to move northward, possibly targeting Huzhou. What the scouts saw was that the army chased and killed a group of fleeing residents on the way, and they were almost killed. The killing was clean, and the bandit army continued to kill after looting the belongings that were easy to carry. It seemed that they were still looking for different traces of escape along the way.In the past two days, everyone analyzed the possibility that Fang La would go straight to Jiaxing, but now there are several troops coming to Huzhou, which made Chen Xing feel a little confused for a while.

"General Chen." The honorific voice came from the side, and also riding up was Qian Haiping from the Qian family.Chen Xing gave a salute: "Brother Qian is outrageous, what kind of general am I? Oh, Mr. Qian said before that he would persuade those people to donate some property as a way to suspect soldiers. I don't know how it went?"

Such a large-scale team marched forward in a mighty way, leaving behind a lot of messages, and occasionally some people even fell behind.Qian Haiping guessed that Fang La's army would definitely follow the team with more belongings, so he wanted to persuade the big households in the team to donate some of their encumbrances, but at this time, it seemed that there was not much result.

"Although everyone agreed to it for a while, but then they argued endlessly about the share of each family. These people are so short-sighted when they encounter this matter. It's really... well, a large part of them were persuaded by Li Heng to go out of the city together. , It's a pity that Liheng is not here at this time, otherwise I'm afraid it will be easier to solve, now... there will be a result later."

Chen Xingdu nodded, and then softly talked about the information brought back by the scouts: "Mr. Ning said that Fang La should take Jiaxing at the beginning, but now it seems that he is taking Huzhou... In this way, we are on a dead end Yes, not far ahead, Qingfengzhai and Xiaoluo Town have been said to have been taken over by rebel bandits, but it is difficult for us to detour..."

Qian Haiping thought for a while: "They plundered property, so leisurely... No, if they really went to Huzhou, they must be led by Fang La's general, and how could they get here. They really want to take Jiaxing. Several teams must be going to harass Huzhou and prevent its rescue! Moreover, after the qualifications for looting in Hangzhou were divided, these people who were released, on the one hand, disturbed, and on the other hand, they also came to track us. Now, where else can we go? They took Jiaxing and messed up Huzhou, we have to go a little more northwest..."

"Where can I go to the northwest now? If I turn again, I'm afraid I will be surrounded by bandits who rushed over..."

"There must be a discussion about this at once."

At this time, there were naturally a large number of people who could serve as aides and counselors. When Qian Haiping said, he turned around to call these people, and Chen Xing nodded: "Please trouble Mr. Qian, by the way, what about Mr. and Mrs. Ning? "

"He was slightly injured after the battle with Shi Bao, Liu Dabiaozi and others in Taiping Lane, but this morning the wound festered and external evils entered his body. Although the doctor treated him, he was left behind in the morning, alas..."

Chen Xingdu was slightly stunned: "Actually, I didn't listen to Mr. Qian's introduction before. The Ning couple are only in their early twenties, so young. Could it be that they really... fought head-on with Shi Bao and Liu Dabiao?"

Qian Haiping thought for a while: "I didn't believe it at first, but... at that time, if the outside of the city could resist for two more days, maybe these people would be caught and wiped out. In fact, we thought at the time that Fang Qifo was also in the city. The fight between Ning Liheng and Shi Bao and the others was also true. Shi Bao was almost killed by his hands that day. As far as I know, there was a bandit leader named Gou Zheng who was killed by him on the spot. The rest is uncertain...there was little time..."

"...Oh" Chen Xing thought for a while, and then nodded to express his understanding. Qian Haiping raised the rein and was about to move forward, but squinted his eyes and looked at the rear of the team. A galloping horse passed through the crowd. , came galloping forward, and saw a few people on the hillside. Along the way, Ning Yi and his wife saluted on horseback.Seeing Ning Yi coming back, Qian Haiping was quite happy, and Chen Xingdu also looked at the couple more seriously. The situation was chaotic in the past few days. He always didn't pay much attention to these young people, even if Ning Yi proposed something Ideas and speculations can only be accepted under the discussion of others.

Of course, this is not the time to talk about being honored or anything. Qian Haiping wanted to call for someone, and Chen Xingdu simply talked about the situation at this time.In fact, from Hangzhou to Huzhou or to Jiaxing, it is only a distance of more than 150 miles in a straight line. However, there are many waterways in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is very easy to be blocked. There are no boats, so you can only cross the river by bridges in certain places. At that time, there were bandits blocking the way in front of them, and Fang La's army had followed up behind them. This team was not moving fast, and the room for maneuvering was actually getting smaller and smaller.

They don't expect Ning Yi to have the power to change this situation, but now they have paid great attention to it, and of course they can explain it to him more clearly. Ning Yi frowned, and after a while, he was cautious to Chen Xingdu opened his mouth.

"I would like to ask General Chen to arrange for me some veterans or scouts who are familiar with the situation in Fang La's army. I want to ask them some questions. In addition, I want a map of the vicinity and a few people who are really familiar with the surrounding conditions. ,Maybe……"

He paused slightly: "Maybe I can make the situation a little bit better..." He still had a fever at this time, and it was extending to a more severe trend. These words were spoken.Chen Xingdu looked at him for a while, then nodded.

Su Tan'er sat in front of Ning Yi, bowed her head and hugged his injured arm, quietly, the sun was shining, a little dazzling...
