Chapter Fifty-Six: The Han Wounded Soldiers

In the blink of an eye, it's the New Year.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Wu cleaned the room, made a pen from hay, dipped it in pot black, wrote the ranking of "Ancestors of the Su Family" on thin sheepskin, nailed wood to the earthen wall, lit homemade mutton fat candles, and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Father, the unfilial son Su Wu has kowtowed to you in the northern country! Please bless Chang'an's mother and family, be safe and sound! Please bless! Bless you......" He burst into tears and knelt down.

"Brother Su" Mei Ga, who was heavily armed, shouted and pushed the door to come in, and when he saw this, he was stunned.

Su Wu wiped away his tears, got up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Outside, there's someone outside, call to see a doctor!, you're in trouble, I, I'll go alone!" she rushed out.

"It's getting dark!" he said to the young man in a leather robe and a hat and leading a horse, "does it matter?"

"Fallen in front of my house, it's a Han man!"

When Su Wu heard that it was a Han Chinese: "Leave immediately!"

He entered the house, put on his leather robe, put on his leather boots, grabbed his fur hat and put it on, took the horse prepared by the old man Yu Yi Ba and said to him, "Uncle, we are going, don't worry, rest well!"

Su Wu and Mei Ga followed the young man and ran in the vast ice and snow for nearly two hours before they arrived at the young man's home. It turned out that the man of the house, they knew each other.

During the summer grazing season, the two of them came back from medical treatment to play a horse and pass by, begged him for water to drink, and chatted together for a while.

Since it's an acquaintance, it's easy to talk. When they came, the rescued man was already conscious, but he was covered in bruises and frost for too long and could not move.

Su Wu held his hand and asked softly in Han, "Are you Han?"

He nodded with tears in his eyes when he heard the Chinese dialect.

"Brother, thank you for saving him! He is so sick that he can't be here with you, I have to take him back for treatment!" Su Wu took out a piece of deer antler velvet from the leather bag he was carrying, and handed it to the master, "Thank you!"

The honest shepherd immediately refused, saying, "I can't ask for it! I have it in my house! You are a shaman, and you can use it to cure many people!"

"Big brother has a good heart, I thank my brother for treating me!" Mei Ga's eyes hinted at Su Wu.

He put the antler velvet back on, put his hands on his chest and shoulders and saluted, and he returned the salute sincerely.

Su Wu took off his leather robe and put it on the patient, picked him up and went out and put him in the saddle.

The master immediately took a leather robe and chased it out and stuffed it for him, and he excused himself. He sincerely: "You can't freeze the shaman, bring it back next time you pass by!"

Su Wu and Mei Ga rushed home with the patient, and it was midnight. The old man sat in front of the stove and waited for them. The old man lived with them, felt blessed to be old, met two kind-hearted young people, and had something to rely on.

Whenever they went out, and when they came back late at night, he would light a fire and boil water, prepare something to eat, sit in front of the stove and wait, until they came back and ate together.

Su Wu picked the patient off his horse and ran into his house. The old man of Iba came in with a torch and helped Su Wu put the person on the couch.

The brother was frozen all over the horse, his legs were still on the horse, his face was pale, and he was unconscious. He didn't dare touch him. The old man put a torch on the ground, went out and came in with a chopping wood, and lit a fire.

Mei Ga came in with a basin of hot water: "Brother Su, wash your hands." ”

He told her, "Go cook, here, I'll come with the old man!"

"Uncle has already cooked the meal, I'm going to clean up and eat!" Mei Ga put down the basin and went out.

Su Wu untied the dirty woolen leather coat on his outside, and the rags next to him were already frozen together with the scars and bloodstains. Brother, you must come back to life...... He muttered silently in his heart, using a cloth towel dipped in hot water to bruise.

Seeing this, the old man stopped and said, "Those who are frozen cannot use hot water." He's injured and can't wipe it with snow, so now make the house warmer and call it a natural recovery!"

He watched him sit stiffly. The old man reminded: "You go to eat, I'll take care of it!"

"Let him recover on his own, and let's go eat together!"

When they came back from eating, the temperature in the room gradually rose, and the color on the patient's face became more lively, Su Wu touched the root of his ear and said excitedly: "There is a pulse!"

His legs gradually rested on the couch, his body warmed a little, and the frozen blood stains opened

Initiation. Mei Ga took a light leather cushion from his room and said to Su Wu: "You slowly push him aside, I'll lay this for him, otherwise how can he sleep when he gets wet?"

They laid him out and carried him to sleep. Su Wu said to them, "This is a matter of waiting. Uncle, Mei Ga, go and rest!"

After sending them away, he closed the door and sat down beside him, carefully studying his bloodstained rags...... Yes, he is a Han soldier! This is the uniform underwear of the Han soldiers. How can there be Han soldiers here?

He went out to the kitchen and got some pieces of dried milk, and brought in half a pot of snow and put it by the fire, and when he saw that the torch was burned out, he took a large candle and lit it, and sat down on the couch himself, and after a while he added a few sticks of wood, and when it was almost dawn, he was so tired that he fell asleep.

The patient woke up, what kind of place is this, it's so warm, and there's light? He moves, he moves, he is alive!

He struggled to get up and looked at the strange place: there was still a fire and there were people...... He moved his legs and accidentally bumped into Su Wu.

Su Wu opened his eyes and happily said, "Brother, you're awake!"

When he heard the Chinese words, he cried "wow".

Su Wu threw the milk skin into the hot water pot and boiled it for a while, put it in a bowl for him to eat, and then asked: "I think you are a soldier of the Han Dynasty, how can you be in this most remote Beihai?"

He shed tears and told Su Wu about General Li Lingli, who led 5,000 infantry deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu and met 80,000 cavalry with Shan Yu......

In an isolated and helpless situation, they fought while retreating, annihilating more than 30,000 enemy cavalry with 5,000 infantry soldiers, and when they were about to retreat to the border of the Han Dynasty, due to the defection of a soldier and betraying the military situation, the enemy besieged more than 300 of their wounded and more than 500 soldiers in a mountainous area......

General Li left more than 300 wounded soldiers who could not fight on the mountain, and led a detachment of soldiers who could fight to break through the siege. Later, he heard that more than a dozen soldiers led by General Li were surrounded by enemy regiments, and General Han Yannian was killed in battle.

When General Li committed suicide with a dagger, Shan Yu forced him to surrender by threatening to execute 300 wounded soldiers who had been captured. General Lee gave up suicide for the sake of the lives of 300 wounded soldiers......

He said: "My name is Zhang Tuan, and I am one of the three hundred wounded soldiers. I was wounded by an arrow in my right shoulder and couldn't move. After General Li coerced and was captured, Shan Yu did not break his promise, and after the wounded were healed, he sent us to various remote tribes as slaves one by one. ”

He wiped away his tears: "My master, too, too cruel, I secretly saved up food, took the opportunity to escape, got lost in the snow, and collapsed outside that house five or five days later. ”

"Your wounds?"

"It was the master who hit it!"

"You just recuperate here first!" he instructed, "Externally, you are lost in business, don't say that you are a captured Han soldier!"

"I see!"
