The team quickly moved away from the bandits, and everyone couldn't help but cheer.

Looking at Ma Shaoteng, whose face was covered with blood, a feeling of admiration rose in everyone's hearts, and their faces were full of admiration.

Ma Shaoteng has already initially shown the demeanor of a famous general, so how can he not be admired by a sergeant? Although there are very few opportunities for a county soldier to go to the battlefield, as long as he is a soldier, he will always encounter a battlefield of life and death, and no one wants to put his life in the hands of an incompetent general.

One general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops.

The caravan was grateful in his heart, not to mention.

If it weren't for Ma Shaoteng's decision to deter the bandits, how could Shen Weiyong use such a small price in exchange for the passage of the caravan? It is estimated that the goods of the caravan and even the men and horses will have to be explained here.

Everyone in the caravan had a feeling of surviving.

Ma Shaoteng couldn't be happy.

A thunderous blow crushed the bandits. However, most of the so-called bandits were old and young, women and children, in ragged clothes, with hungry faces, and could barely walk.

Ma Shaoteng concluded that these bandits must be short of food and food, deep in the mountains, they really can't survive the harsh winter, so that in the face of the caravan escorted by the army, they dare to fight to the death.

Ma Shaoteng suppressed bandits, and many bandits in the mountains were originally just peasants and homeless people who had no food and clothing, and were forced to go up the mountains to become bandits.

If the government strictly suppresses bandits, the bandits lack food and clothing, and often let the old and young women and children starve to death in the mountains, or drive them to fight to the death.

Seeing that they are going to freeze to death and starve to death, even in the face of the army, it is not difficult to understand that the old, young, women and children dare to fight to the death.

However, looking at the face of the weak child who died on the side of the road, looking at the old man's old eyes as if he were relieved, and looking at the woman who was numb and desperate...... It's all ordinary people!

Ma Shaoteng had a feeling that he didn't want to live and gave up on himself. This is a troubled time, and people in troubled times are as cheap as dogs!

Ma Shaoteng was upset, and Lei Shaoxuan suddenly fainted.

"How is this son?" Ma Shaoteng frowned slightly.

"Suddenly unconscious, burning badly. Hu Youde said anxiously.

"Young Master Lei must have seen the tragic situation of the bandits' dead bodies, and was so frightened that he vomited and then fainted. ”

Shen Weiyong said in a deep voice: "Although the old man is not Langzhong, he has been walking outside all the year round, but he has seen this kind of disease. ”

Shen Weiyong sighed slightly: "Previously, when Young Master Lei was in the wine shop in his dream, his face was withered, his eyes were red, and his cheeks were red. In addition, the sudden convulsions, the liver and gallbladder are so frightened that the heart has nothing to rely on, the gods have nowhere to return, and there is no certainty, which is a palpitation. The wind chill combined with palpitations, unconscious. ”

"The caravan has been walking all year round, but it is always equipped with medicine for bruises and diarrhea, but there is no medicine for internal typhoid fever. Shen Weiyong was quite helpless.

If the fever does not go away as soon as possible, most of the people will die, and even if they do not die, they will burn out their brains and become dementia. However, in the valley, there is no village in front of it, there is no store in the back, there is a lack of doctors and medicines, how is it good?

Hu Youde was in a hurry when he heard this, this place is also three days away from the nearest Shangsi County, who can resist a high fever for three days?

"How is it good, how is it good?"

Hu Youde was so anxious that he looked at Shen Weiyong anxiously, and begged, "Sir, can you think of some way?"

Shen Weiyong shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Ma Shaoteng and said: "Only by rushing to Shangsi County as soon as possible, I have quite a few connections in Shangsi County, and it is a trivial matter to find a Langzhong for diagnosis and treatment." ”

"It's too late. ”

Ma Shaoteng shook his head, and said helplessly: "Burn it for three days, even if people don't die, it will be abolished." I'll send the sergeants and you and others to speed up. Although I did not know how to treat this condition, I did know that there was an herb called thyme that could reduce fever, and dried thyme could also be used as a medicine. The valley here is wooded, and thyme is not a rare medicinal material, so it should be found. As long as the fever can be reduced, the life can be saved. Elder Shen, you free up a horse with me, and after you find thyme, I will catch up with you as soon as possible. ”

Shen Weiyong's eyes lit up, and he said: "There is a person in my caravan who has trafficked medicinal materials and can understand medicinal materials, so I will let him stay to help you." ”

Shen Weiyong left in a hurry, and after a while, he brought someone over.

This person has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, quite clever and well-behaved, and saluted Ma Shaoteng and said: "My lord is really wise." Thyme is a good medicine for fever, likes sunshine, good dry land, often grows in open spaces without shade by the roadside, and grows with weeds, and also grows in highlands by streams, leaky sand, etc. ”

The visitor hesitated for a moment and said: "If it is only to reduce fever, the root of white chrysanthemum can also be used, and mountain ginger, licorice root, willow bark, etc. are also good, these medicinal materials are quite common and easy to find." ”

Ma Shaoteng was overjoyed and said: "Wild mountain ginger, white chrysanthemum is almost known to everyone, such a mountain and wilderness, no matter what, you will be able to find it." Let's not rush first, let's look for medicine together. ”

Lei Shaoxuan only felt a splitting headache, cold, groggy, and his soul drifted out of the sky. It was as if he was in a deep pool of blood, surrounded by all kinds of severed arms and stumps, and all kinds of noisy sounds echoed in his ears, some people screamed, some cried, and some scolded...... From time to time, various eyes and faces flashed in front of him, her mother's sad tears, her sister's timid hug, Qin Yan's smile, Ruyi's sleepy face, the vigilant and vigilant gaze of the man in black, the ferocity of the death row prisoner, the despair of waiting to die in the lake, and the battlefield of flesh and blood......

"Ah......" Lei Shaoxuan woke up and found that he was being carried behind him.

"What's wrong with me?" asked Lei Shaoxuan weakly.

"Young Master Lei, are you awake? You have a high fever and are in a coma. Shen Weiyong breathed a sigh of relief, and Lei Shaoxuan woke up, "But it's okay, after taking some medicine, the fever has subsided." ”

"How long will I be unconscious?"

Lei Shaoxuan only felt chills all over his body, and in the jolting, all over his body hurt, as if he was falling apart, and he couldn't help but moan.

"I've been in a coma for a long time. Shen Weiyong comforted, "Fortunately, Ma Xun found some antipyretics." ”

"Am I going to die?" said Lei Shaoxuan weakly.

"Why do you say that?" said Shen Weiyong in surprise.

"When I set out, I heard the prison handyman say that the journey to the sea of bitterness was long and tiring. If you are seriously ill and trapped on the way, you will either die of illness or become a drag and be abandoned. Or the sergeant, fearing that he would be delayed, simply executed him for violating the military order. ”

"Young master, don't be cranky, I won't let you die on the way. Hu Youde felt a knife in his heart when he heard this, and said firmly: "Don't worry, Chief Ma won't either, he also carried you just now." ”

"Huh?" Lei Shaoxuan was a little surprised, this news made Lei Shaoxuan feel a lot more relieved.

After a while, Lei Shaoxuan was in unbearable pain and fell asleep again.

In the drowsiness, Lei Shaoxuan felt that he was like a small boat in the sea, drifting in the stormy waves. The boat was so small that it seemed to be overturned by a strong wind at any moment.

In the dark night, Lei Shaoxuan saw a faint star guiding the way, which also made Lei Shaoxuan feel a faint hope! No, it was not a star, it was his mother's eyes.

"Mom. Lei Shaoxuan shouted.

“......”

"How?"

"It's burning again! ”

“......”

"The fever has just subsided, which means that the herbs are effective, why don't you increase the amount of medicine and drink it more often?"

"Okay. ”

“......”

"Speed up and get to Shangsi County as soon as possible. ”

“......”

"I'll memorize it for a while, you've been carrying it for an hour. ”

"Lao Yu, if you carry it for Lao (Hu), he can't stand. ”

"You and Lao Shen exchange hands......

“......”

"The wind is up, be careful not to let it blow!"

"He burned so badly that he wanted to sweat and show his face, but he couldn't let the wind blow. ”

"So troublesome?"

"Of course, he is so weak, the valley is bitterly cold, and it is blown by the wind, and he still doesn't collapse?"

"Then hold it. ”

“......”

Shen Weiyong sighed.

He guessed that Lei Shaoxuan was suffering from palpitations and wind cold, this disease should have been bed to recuperate, carefully conditioned, and could not see the wind, but now there is a lack of medical treatment, walking in the cold wind, whether he can survive can only depend on the will of God.

Lei Shaoxuan's face was like paper gold, his breath was like nothing, his eyes seemed to be closed in pain, and his lips were purple. According to Shen Weiyong's experience, this is already a sign of critical illness.

For a whole day, Lei Shaoxuan only woke up twice, and he kept vomiting and couldn't eat.

Shen Weiyong has been walking outside for many years, and he is very experienced when he often travels to the death of caravan guys, in Shen Weiyong's opinion, Lei Shaoxuan's illness is so serious, even the medicine stone is difficult to save, so he can only resign himself to fate.

However, Hu Youde and Ma Shaoteng didn't know this, and in order to speed up the march, Ma Shaoteng deliberately urged the team to move quickly.

As a prisoner, Lei Shaoxuan could never take care of a death row prisoner in the Japanese soldiers. If a death row prisoner becomes ill, at most he or she will be unable to walk after being cared for by other prisoners, so he will have to be abandoned or executed in order not to delay his journey.

Fortunately, Ma Shaoteng was very popular with the military, and when he saw Ma Shaoteng holding Lei Shaoxuan, a sergeant volunteered to come over to rotate, which maintained a very fast marching speed.

Lei Shaoxuan felt like he was constantly moving from one person to another. Despite the drowsiness, the blank mind, the heart knows that many people are trying to save their lives.

The valley road was covered with snow, and stepping on it was like sinking into a mud puddle, reaching the knees, and every step was extremely difficult.

In the vast valley, the team squirmed forward like a writhing black line.

In the evening, the team finally walked out of the valley, and the scenery suddenly opened up.

A hill, undulating, white, with no end in sight, only a vaguely arranged dead tree, stretching into the distance, pointing a way.

"It's getting late, so we have to find a place to camp as soon as possible. Ma Shaoteng found Shen Weiyong and discussed, "Do you know where to camp?"

"This place is uninhabited for dozens of miles, and there is an abandoned mine about five miles west of the foot of the mountain to get away from the road, where you can stay. ”

"What's that?" Ma Shaoteng pointed to the distance, where there were a few houses faintly.

"It was originally an ancient temple called Hongjue Temple. The first emperor destroyed the Buddha, almost destroyed the Buddhist temple on the ancient road, and the Hongjue Temple has also been destroyed, leaving only the mountain gate, the main hall and a few side rooms, and now it is regarded as a righteous village. This temple is a famous murderous place on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, which is really eerie and terrifying, where do passers-by dare to approach?"

"Jokes. Merchants are afraid of ghosts, but can it be that people who are not in the army are still afraid of ghosts?"

An old soldier beside Ma Shaoteng interjected, "In Yizhuang, the horizontal and vertical can shelter from the wind and rain, but there are a few more coffins, isn't it better than an abandoned mine?"

Although Shen Weiyong is well-informed, he has only heard of Yizhuang's fierce land, and he has not experienced it himself, and he is also suspicious. It's just that there are a lot of rumors, and according to his experience, most of them are a little strange.

Merchants do not take risks easily, but when they reason with a sergeant, most of them are showmen who meet soldiers, and they can't explain reasonably.

"Lao Shen, what are the so-called murderous places of the Ancient Tea Horse Road? ”

"The four murderous places of the Ancient Tea Horse Road: Hongjue Temple Yizhuang, Black Moon Tianchi, Phoenix Ridge Heavenly Burial Road, Fairy Lake White Bone Beach...... It is said that the people who have been to Hongjue Temple Yizhuang were possessed by ghosts, either sick or disaster, and finally died of unhuman deaths, and the death was extremely tragic......"
