Chapter 145: The Rescued Soldiers

Originally, I thought that it would take a lot of trouble to find someone, and maybe I would return in vain, but I never thought that I would find the grandson of General Qin so smoothly and quickly. Li Darttou couldn't suppress his excitement, grinned with cheerful joy, pulled the horse and led everyone down the mountain.

Because they were worried that these soldiers were too weak to stand the great replenishment of wolf meat, Xiaohu and Laizi, as well as a few other people who did not need to take wounded soldiers, specially found several pheasants and some mountain eggs in the thorny bushes on the mountain.

They found a suitable place to rest at the foot of the mountain for a while, Xiaohu and Laizi took out a large copper bowl the size of a small soup pot from their backpacks, collected a bowl of clean snow, put the mountain eggs in it, and set it up in the fire to burn it.

Li Darttou has already seen their big backpack like a treasure chest, so it's not strange. And Leader Zhao couldn't do it, and shouted in a fuss: "Xiaohu, Laizi, what else do you have in this bag?" Pour them out so that we may see and understand! ”

Xiaohu saw that everyone was very curious, so he kindly took out the things in the backpack the same.

While placing it on the ground, he said: "This bamboo tube is filled with hot sauce, this bamboo tube is filled with salt, this bamboo tube is filled with tea, this bamboo tube is filled with oil, this bamboo tube is filled with wine, this package is wound medicine, this is wrapped with wind chill medicine, this is anti-snake and insect medicine, this is a sewing kit, this is a fire fold, this is chopsticks, this is a toiletry."

Every time Xiaohu posed something, everyone would let out a burst of giggles, but Xiaohu didn't care. These things were all prepared by Erya, and each of them had them, even the third uncle was not left behind.

This backpack is heavy though. But it provides great convenience for their life on the road.

Originally, Erya also wanted to take a special copper pot for old Beijing shabu for them to carry, but they felt embarrassed and embarrassed to bring it. Now Xiaohu regrets it, if he had that copper pot, it would be convenient to eat now. Especially the food on the side of the wounded. It's even better!

Ay! I can't regret it, I have to think about bringing it when I go out in the future! Xiaohu sighed as he packed up his things and put them in his backpack in the same way. Qin Baihu and his soldiers looked at Xiaohu's oversized backpack with hot eyes, if they had a backpack like this at the beginning, why would they almost die now because they were dragged down by their injuries.

Leader Zhao laughed and was about to make fun of Xiaohu. When I heard the sighs of these soldiers, I remembered that I had been wondering all along. At the moment, he asked, "Hey! That little general! How did you stay in the tiger's den for so long? It's all right, nothing? ”

Li Darttou, who was roasting wolf meat, and the others also looked at the soldiers curiously, wanting to hear about their adventures!

Those soldiers and Qin Baihu were very weak, and they really couldn't speak. But you can't just dry these people who saved themselves. The soldier who could still walk with a stick was called Mo Erzhu, and among the dozen or so people, he was the only one who was the best, so he took the initiative to take on the task of answering.

"We were counterattacked by the aliens, and we were scattered with the others as we retreated. Because the aliens chased and killed all the way, we didn't dare to go to the border gates, for fear that the border guards would let those aliens in because we opened the city gates.

We had no way to run but to the east. We ran for days. Don't you dare to stop, until we run to this mountain, we dare to find a hidden place to hide here.

That's when we found the cave. The tiger went out looking for food, and we broke into it in a daze, and when we saw two little tiger cubs inside, we knew that something bad was wrong, and it was not fun to go into the tiger's den. Just as we were about to quit and prepare to find another place, the tiger in search of food returned with a bloody rabbit in his mouth. We were all badly injured and didn't dare to fight the tiger. I had to pull the horse all the way to the innermost part of the cave. Fortunately, the tiger was well fed and did not attack us.

We have always been afraid to walk in front of tigers. The tiger didn't go out to watch his cubs. After a while, we were so hungry and thirsty that we couldn't bear it anymore, so we had to kill one of our wounded horses, drink their blood, and eat their meat. We were frightened to see the tiger, staring at the way our horse's meat was about to pounce at any moment, so we carefully unscrewed a large piece and threw it at it.

From then on, we had to feed the tiger and its cubs every day, and when we didn't feed them, the tiger would howl at us. We had no choice but to kill all the horses we had brought into the cave and feed them and their two cubs. The tiger may have been accustomed to us feeding it, and also accustomed to our smell, and became much more relaxed with us, and occasionally we went out to look for herbs, pheasants, hares, etc., and it would not stop the hole. Sometimes it will feel comfortable putting its cubs in the hole to play with us and go out to hunt for food.

Then there was a heavy snowfall, the herbs were nowhere to be found, and the prey became more and more difficult to hit, and we really couldn't get through it. If you hadn't found it, we'd all die in this hole!" ”

Qin Baihu, who was lying on a stretcher made of trees and rattans, suddenly picked up and asked Li Daotou: "How do you know that we are here?" ”

Li Dart pointed at the herdsman and said, "It was this herdsman's eldest brother who picked up a war horse here and brought it back, and when we saw the war horse, we asked him to take us to this area to look for it." I didn't expect to find you so smoothly! ”

Leader Zhao followed Li Dart's words, pointed at Xiaohu, and smiled at Qin Baihu: "You have to thank Xiaohu well, it is he who has a kind heart, and he has to send food to the tiger for the winter, otherwise we wouldn't think of running to the tiger cave to find someone." ”

Qin Baihu tilted his head, clasped his hands into fists and gestured at Xiaohu, and said, "Thank you, Big Brother Xiaohu!" He nodded at the others, "You guys have worked hard! ”

Everyone shook their heads with laughter, and Xiaohu saw that the boiled eggs in the copper bowl were already splashing, so he hurriedly took the handle and put it on the ground to dry. He took chopsticks and put the chicken soup in the copper bowl on the fire over there, and turned the chicken rack over.

Because the mountain eggs are very small, a bowl can be boiled more than a dozen at one time, and it just so happens that each of them can get one.

After eating a hot egg, everyone was in good spirits all of a sudden. Although it will not be alive immediately, it can eliminate the fear of imminent death.

It's just that their stomachs feel more and more uncomfortable with hunger, and they all tilt their heads with difficulty and their eyes are green, staring at the chicken soup boiling on the fire. There was a gurgling sound in his throat that swallowed saliva.

Qin Baihu was a little embarrassed when he listened to the swallowing sounds of his companions, so he looked for a topic and asked Li Darthead: "Li Darthead, the horse you are talking about is a brown-gray mare?" ”

Li Dart was stunned for a moment, he only paid attention to the branding on the horse's buttocks, and didn't pay attention to anything else. Looking at Leader Zhao inquiringly, Leader Zhao shook his head and said, "I can't remember clearly, as soon as I saw the words on the horse's buttocks, I was busy asking you to go over and take a look, and I didn't want to see anything else." ”

Li Dart hurriedly asked the herdsman. The herdsman nodded yes. Li Darttou said to Qin Baihu: "We have only noticed the brand, and we don't remember the other characteristics of the horse, but this herdsman said that it is indeed a brown-gray mare, yes!" Is the horse yours? ”

Na Mo Erzhu then replied: "That horse may be our Qin Baihu's, our Qin Baihu is more seriously injured and can't walk, so I will let him lie on my horse's back, I will pull the horse and lead him up the mountain, and his horse will follow behind." Unexpectedly, we found a place to hide, but the horse did not follow. It turned out that he had run down the mountain! ”

Li Darttou smiled and said, "Then you have to treat the horse well when you go back, if it weren't for the horse." We would never have thought of coming here to find someone, we originally planned to go to the southern herdsmen to find someone. I've even thought of an excuse to find someone, but now I don't need it. ”

They were chatting, and Xiaohu and Laizi were busy putting ingredients in the chicken soup, because they thought that they would rest in this place at night, and there was plenty of time. The chicken soup was simmered slowly, and some snow water was added to it from time to time. Otherwise, you'll have to boil it dry.

The chicken soup is boiled, and there is an enticing aroma wafting out. Not only those wounded, but even Leader Zhao and the others couldn't help but secrete a mouthful of saliva in their mouths.

Leader Zhao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said to Xiaohu: "Brother Xiaohu, use your big bowl to cook a bowl of chicken soup!" Damn, smell this chicken soup and panic! ”

Xiaohu replied without raising his head: "Okay!" However, you have to go to the mountains to catch a few pheasants and come back, otherwise what will these wounded soldiers eat tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? ”

Leader Zhao responded happily: "It's not easy, just learn from you, just look for it in the thorns on the mountain." You do it first, and I'll take someone to the mountains early tomorrow morning to catch chickens, and I'm sure to eat one of you and return two of you! ”

Xiaohu estimated that Li Darttou and his subordinates also wanted to eat, so he cleaned up a chicken and broke it in half, first used his empty bowl to cook a bowl of soup, and then waited for the wounded to finish drinking, empty the bowl, and then cook another bowl of soup.

The wounded took a piece of chicken bone and meat, dragged and gnawed, and each took turns drinking chicken soup. Some people drank the hot, fragrant chicken soup while shedding tears and whispered tears. After so many days, they either ate raw food and drank cold, or they were hungry and thirsty, and their injuries and illnesses were not healed for a long time, and they were already planning to die together. I didn't expect to have a day to live, and I could still drink hot chicken soup and nibble on fragrant chicken bones.

Leader Zhao heard their louder and louder cries, and his heart was uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to comfort people, so he said loudly: "Brother! You guys are really useless, drink chicken soup and eat chicken and get excited to be like this?! Brother Ming'er went to catch a dozen of them and came back, so that you can eat chicken and drink chicken soup three times a day! ”

Mo Erzhu wiped his tears with the sleeves of his dirty clothes, and said in a low voice: "This is the first time in more than a month that we have eaten cooked meat and drunk hot soup!" ”

Laizi exclaimed in surprise: "Damn! You're amazing! You can survive like this, little brother admires! ”

Li Darttou comforted them and said: "If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future!" Even the tiger can live in the same room with you for so many days, which shows that your blessings are not small! They all hurriedly ate and drank, and rested well, so that the injury could heal quickly. ”

Xiaohu also persuaded: "Yes! Brother Li is right, you should rest first, and when you get to a place with water, I will help you wash the wound, put on the wound medicine I brought, and keep it quickly. This medicine is specially prepared for us by Chunlin Hall, and it is all good medicinal materials. ”

A few crying wounded people were actually only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they were comforted by Leader Zhao, Li Dangtou, and Xiaohu, and when they came back from their sadness, they felt so embarrassed and embarrassed, and nodded with a red face at the moment, not daring to speak. I just lowered my head and carefully gnawed on the chicken bones, chewing the chicken that was not very bad, and a feeling of happiness gushed out from the bottom of my heart! (To be continued)
