Chapter 1649: Finding a Way Out
Following.
After the infected villagers took the prepared medicine, many people regained their strength within a day, and their faces showed blood, although their bodies were still weak, but at least they were cured, and people came out of the house one after another, and those villagers almost cried out excitedly, kneeling in front of Ye Shikai and shouting "benefactor".
"You Doctor, you are really a miracle doctor who rejuvenates your hands, you are the benefactor of our Baimu Village. ”
"Okay, you don't have to thank me, it's my duty to save people, these healed villagers, hurry up and let their families take them home, eat more nutritious things, replenish their bodies, and the rest of the people don't have to worry, since the pharmacy is effective, it is only a matter of time before the cure is effective." Ye Shikai explained.
"That's great. ”
"Yes, Doctor You is really our benefactor. ”
Ye Shikai took off his mask, the source of the plague had all been concentrated in the village, and it was burned by fire, and now there was a prescription to prevent the plague from continuing to spread while treating it, so that in less than a week, the plague would disappear completely.
"Doctor You, you are the benefactor of our village, we ...... I can't repay it. ”
"Ahem, actually, I really need your help, I hope you ......"
"Don't say it, as long as it is your order, we will definitely die and help each other. ”
"Well, I'd like to go to the back hill of the village to see if any of you are most familiar with the terrain here, and if you can be my guide. Ye Shikai asked.
"It's easy to do, I called Huzi over, he is a hunter in the village, and he often goes hunting alone in the mountains, and it is enough to have him. Not long after, a "thin" man came to Ye Shikai, he is not tall, about 1.65 meters, compared to the woman next to him is not much taller, with a bow behind him, Ye Shikai's eyes are sharp, although this "tiger" is not tall, but the muscles on the body are very developed, at first glance he is good at mountain cross-country people, according to the villagers, he went into the mountains to hunt, just like a monkey into the woods, like a fish in water, strong and strong, legs are more strong.
"Are you the tiger? ”
"Yes, see Eun Gong. Huzi took off his longbow and slowly knelt down in front of Ye Shikai to salute.
"Alright, alright, get up quickly. Ye Shikai hurriedly helped him up.
"Huzi is not only the best hunter in the village, but also a sharpshooter who can shoot a fierce beast in a hundred steps, and within a hundred steps, he can shoot an arrow into the neck of a beast. ”
"Engong, the villain is not talented, not as exaggerated as the villagers say, but as long as Engong can use me, I will never give up. ”
"Well, you follow me into the mountains, I need you to be a guide. ”
…………………………………………………………
Back Mountain.
"Engong, please see, there are many paths in this mountain, and there are many caves, all of which have roads that can be connected, and they are intricate, if people you don't know come here and rush into the cave, you will definitely get lost in it. ”
"Huzi, do you see behind the mountain? Ye Shikai pointed to the distance and said, it was the camp of the Chu army, and he hoped to find a road that could connect the two places, so that the Chu army could follow this road, avoid the interception of the Qin army, and smoothly withdraw to the land of Bashu.
"Hmm. ”
"There is no other way to go. Ye Shikai asked.
"This ...... Yes, but they are all inaccessible paths, almost no one can walk them, and those roads are rough and difficult to walk. ”
"Is there a road in the cave that leads to the distance? ”
"Yes, but the road in the cave is complicated, and someone must guide ......"
"Then do you know the way? Before Huzi finished speaking, Ye Shikai interrupted.
"Of course, if Engong wants to know, I can take you on a tour now. Huzi nodded in response.
"That would be great. ”
Cave.
"Engong, you see, the caves here are all naturally formed, there are many branch roads in them, when the Seven Kingdoms, this was once the territory of the Chu State, and later the Qin State, this cave...... It became a hiding cave, which stored weapons and grain. Huzi explained to Ye Shikai.
Ye Shikai looked at the environment in the cave carefully, there were indeed traces of human habitation, and there were even some tables and chairs or something, but the wooden tables and chairs had long since decayed, and it was obvious that this had been a long time.
"Since it used to be a hidden soldier cave, why is there no one now? Ye Shikai asked.
"After Qin ruled the world, he built a fortress nearby, so naturally there is no need for this cave as a hidden cave, who wants to live in this dark and trendy place every day. ”
"This is also true, the Qin Dynasty ruled the world and collected all the weapons of the people, which was to prevent the remnants of the Six Kingdoms from organizing forces to resist. Ye Shikai looked at this cave, the road inside is not narrow, as long as the road is determined, at least one or two thousand people can be evacuated every day, so that it only takes a week for the army to be fully evacuated.
"Engong, let's keep walking, there are a lot of stones on the ground, be careful of your feet. ”
Half an hour later, the two finally walked out of the cave, Ye Shikai wrote down all the roads on paper, and with this map, the Chu army could retreat.
Ye Shikai looked at the past, it was the front line of the Chu army, Huo Ziqing set up many camps near the city, and the Qin army set up a camp thirty miles on the opposite side, such a close distance, if the cavalry charged, it only took a stick of incense to rush to the front of the Chu army, which shows that the Qin army has no fear.
"Engong, there is a battle between the two armies of Qin and Chu. ”
Ye Shikai closed his eyes and listened quietly with his ears, there was a faint killing cry in the air, and there seemed to be the sound of weapons colliding, this is a big battle.
"Indeed, there are no less than tens of thousands of troops on both sides, and after a big battle, I am afraid that the trees on the mountain will be cut down, and it will not be enough to make coffins. ”
"Engong, you must know more than me, a reckless man in the mountains, you see when this battle will end. Huzi's tone softened, Ye Shikai could hear his "voice in his heart", even if he is a tough guy who hunts fierce beasts in the mountains, he has his own weakness, war, is what all the people in the world do not want to see, especially like Baimu Village, which is on the front line of the two armies of Qin and Chu, there is a crisis of "destroying the village and destroying the door" at any time, and they have survived the plague today, and tomorrow's "military disaster", can they escape.
"Maybe, just tomorrow, maybe, never end, if we are lucky, we will be able to see the world peaceful in our lifetime. ”
"Engong, then do you want the Chu army to win, or the Qin army to win. Huzi continued to ask, Ye Shikai was silent, his eyes staring into the distance, his face solemn.
