Chapter 113: No Joy in Reunion (Plus Update)

Chapter 113: No joy in reunion

Han Liu turned out to be just an orphan, and since he can remember, he has been living on the dilapidated street of Ling Shanwei, eating hundreds of meals and wearing hundreds of clothes.

Some people say that Han Liu was born in those houses in the northwest corner of Ling Shanwei. Those few houses were inhabited by some of the exiled officials and their dependents, but these people had obviously put aside their former arrogance and reserve, and in order to wear a garment, a piece of jewelry, or even just to be able to eat enough, and no longer starve every day, they made the lowest half-closed doors.

The so-called half-hidden door, some places are called dark houses, and some places are called secret doors, the names are different, but they all refer to the same thing, that is, there is no secret prostitute who is openly prostituted. Although these people did not have a clear banner, the identity of prostitutes was almost public, and because these women in the half-closed door had limited congenital conditions, and they had no money to buy clothes and dress up, they naturally couldn't get up because of their worth, so in the past, the half-closed door became synonymous with cheapness and cheapness.

If you have to divide the prostitutes into three, six, nine and so on, the kind of high-end flower house with exquisite skills, both color and art, and only sell their art and not their bodies are the most high-end; Needless to say, half-closed doors and dark houses are the lowest ranks. It is a place that even prostitutes look down upon.

With such an unbearable and suspicious background, and still a child who was even thrown out of the shadows, Han's status and life in Ling Shanwei can be imagined.

White-eyed and cold-spoken words naturally didn't suffer less, but there were also a few kind-hearted families who couldn't bear to watch him freeze and starve to death, so they would give him some tattered clothes and leftovers that the children in the family couldn't wear, so Han Liu was not starved to death, nor was he frozen to death by Ling Shanwei's winter cold, but he actually grew up year after year.

Gradually, in order to survive, Han Liu began to go in and out of some people's houses, stealing a piece of steamed bread and an egg at first, and then stealing chickens, and then later, the poor and dilapidated Ling Shanwei could no longer satisfy Han Liu, so he went to Huairong to steal, and even ran out of Yanyun Pass, ran to the ground of the Rong people to steal cattle and sheep, and steal horses. I don't know why, such a character didn't go to the Yanyun Mountains to fall into the grass, but after stealing a group of cattle and sheep, he returned to Huairong, sold the cattle and sheep, exchanged some money, and returned to Ling Shanwei.

I don't know what kind of god this child offended in his previous life, he just had some silver, and he was going back to Lingshan to defend the house to live, but he was attacked by the Rong people, although he escaped, the silver he had just sold his cattle and sheep was lost in the process of fleeing for his life. Han Liu was also a big man, so he actually went back and chased after that group of Rong people, wanting to kill a few people to vent his hatred and revenge for losing money for himself.

It took two days to chase him, and he really caught up, but when he caught up, that team of more than 50 Rong people was sniping a team of levitives transporting grain and grass. Seeing that the many stronger and taller Zhengfu were cut to the ground one by one by those Rong people, blood splashed, amputated limbs fell to the ground in a miserable howl, and a knife was cut off the head, and even the howl came......

The bloodshed in his eyes stimulated the bloodiness in Han Liu's heart, he pulled out his scimitar and rushed up to slash indiscriminately, even cutting several Rong people. Then, when he was about to pick up the opportunity again, he swished out one after another feathered arrows from the nearby woods, which were pointed straight at the throat, and soon shot more than a dozen Rong people. Because the arrows shot were three at the same time, at first glance, it seemed as if there were many people hiding in the woods, and the remaining Rong people were frightened by the sudden appearance of Han Liu and the archer, and they hurriedly retreated.

Han Liu felt exhausted at this time, and his legs fell to his knees in the blood stains all over the ground. Fortunately, he used the scimitar in his hand to support it, so that the whole person would not fall into the blood, but it was also facing a disemboweled husband, and a mass of red and soft intestines and blood flowed out, and it seemed to be trembling slightly, still steaming......

Han Liu only felt a churn in his stomach, and he couldn't stop spitting up, and even the yellow bile was spit out by him, and he couldn't spit out anything anymore, so he slowly eased up. Wiping the filth from the corners of his mouth, Han Liu remembered to check if there was a living person.

The ground was covered with blood and stumps and severed heads...... Han Liupao pulled for a long time, only to find that a person whose leg had been cut off still had a breath, he hurriedly stepped forward and tried to treat him, but the man only opened his eyes and died without even saying a word.

Among the blood-stained corpses and scattered severed arms and limbs all over the ground, more than a dozen truckloads of grain were particularly abrupt.

If this was left in normal times, Han Liu would definitely be moved when he saw so much food. This amount of grain will cost at least a few dozen taels of silver when converted into money. But today, at this moment, he saw these grains, but he didn't feel the slightest excitement, standing among the dead bodies all over the ground, Han Liu seemed to have lost interest in these external objects all of a sudden.

After that, he finally found a man in the woods who had passed out, and the bow and arrow in the man's hand showed that this was the sharpshooter with three arrows at a time.

Anyway, although this person was cut off on his leg and fell into a coma due to blood loss, he was still alive, and it didn't seem like he would die immediately, Han Liu had the idea of saving people for the first time. He found clean water and cleaned the man's wound and bandaged it. He fed the man some water, and saw that the man's face was a little better, and then he went back, found a place where the ground was soft, dug a big pit, moved those Ming people who died tragically, and buried a big grave.

Back to the place that was once tragic and messy, the blood on the ground was still there, but there were not so many stumps and broken arms, and there were only more than 20 corpses left......

Han Liu suddenly had a thought, he took off all the clothes of the Rong people and wrapped them into a roll of clothes...... Zuihou stared at the sleek corpses of the Rong people, Han Liu sneered and cut off the heads one by one......

Although he is only an unidentified orphan, after all, he was born and raised in Ling Shanwei, and what he heard most since he was a child was all kinds of soldiers going into battle to kill the enemy, and it was not uncommon to hear about cutting off his head as a certificate of merit. Since he has more than 20 heads today, how can he make the most of them.

Bring these heads back with more than a dozen carts of grain and grass, he still doesn't believe it, how can he give him a little reward!

Not to mention how big an official he is, he can be incorporated into the army, and he, a little orphan who has always had no home and no relatives, and an embarrassing identity, can be regarded as having an official identity! This is what he has been looking forward to since he was a child, one day, he Han Liu will be able to stand in the crowd with his waist straight and be an upright person!

It's not the orphan who begs everywhere, it's not the thief who wanders around stealing!

Originally, this batch of grain and grass was transported to Huairong, but it was sent to Ling Shanwei by Han Liu. Ling Shanwei's Thousand Households Ou Dahai got a big credit for nothing, and he was naturally overjoyed. was not stingy, and with a wave of his hand, he incorporated the unconscious shooter and Han Liu into the army, and gave one of them the position of a small banner. Although there were only ten soldiers under his command, from then on, Han Liuhe and the person who didn't even know his name could be regarded as officers.

Later, the marksman woke up and claimed to be surnamed Huyan, with a single name and a search for a word.

The two had such an experience of living and dying together, and naturally became good brothers. Often accompanied by each other, Han Liu, with his familiarity with Ling Shanwei, also helped Hu Yanxun to adapt to this place. And Hu Yanxun has been in love with the food of that tavern since Han Liu took him to that tavern for a drink, and as long as he has the opportunity to go out, he will always go to the tavern.

Compared with Han Liu's mistake, Hu Yanxun was burly, strong, and had a miraculous archery, and in the next few battles, he quickly attracted the attention of the upper peak, first raised the general flag, and then rose to a hundred households in less than three months. Han Liu, who was also a small flag before, is still just a small flag.

However, because of Han Liu's familiarity with the terrain and his ability to practice the method of hiding when he was a thief, he became an excellent scout. Now, he is under the jurisdiction of Hu Yanxun, in charge of a ten-person scout flag.

Today, Hu Yanxun was ordered to come out to inspect, but he didn't expect to see a dozen or so people leading horses, with a vigorous posture and an untamed expression in the tavern, and the one who looked thin and didn't look like a man made him even more surprised and puzzled......

Not far from Lingshan Town, Hu Yanxun beckoned Han Liu and ordered: "You go in person, follow that group of people to see where they are going and what they are doing......

Han Liu left in response.

Hu Yanxun looked at Han Liu, who was gradually moving away and quickly hid his figure, and was slightly distracted for a moment, and then waved his hand, and a team of soldiers and horses moved forward again, continuing to patrol along Ling Shanwei's defense area.

Sending Lin Xianniang back, Qiu Chen and his entourage seemed to have unloaded a burden, and seeing that they were about to arrive at the destination of this trip, they had just eaten a meal of haode, and they were full of food and drink before going on the road, and their emotions were very high.

Out of the range of Lingshan Town, a young dart master even took advantage of the strength of the wine to start singing.

He sings in the tune of his hometown, loud and tactful, but not rugged enough, although it is a little out of place in this vast meadow wasteland, but it can also stir the mood. At first, it was one, and soon all the dart masters, including Li Zhenbei, raised their voices and sang along.

Qiu Chen was surrounded by the dart masters in the middle and drove forward, and although the dart masters were not good, the high-pitched and bold singing also made her feel a sense of exuberance.

In this way, singing all the way, it took less than an hour for the group to arrive at Huairong.

It was still early, and everyone dismounted outside Huairong Town, holding the reins and trying to calm down, and slowly walked in.

Li Zhenbei knew that the inn where he stayed last time didn't need to ask for directions, and the group went straight over.

Seeing such a large group of people, Xiao Er smiled excitedly and rushed out to greet him: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”

Li Zhen took a step forward in the north, slapped the little two with a smile, and said, "Shunzi, I haven't recognized people for so many days?" ”

Xiao Er shook his head, finally stabilized his body, looked up, and his smile became even brighter: "Ouch, it's Master Li, you're back so soon...... This is really rare, Li Ye, please come in, all the guest officers, please ......"

Li Zhenbei interrupted his flattery and asked directly: "Don't be busy patting your ass, let me ask you something...... The last time we left, are they still living in your shop? ”

Junzi seemed to be slightly stunned, and then immediately said: "Yes, in, still in the original small courtyard, just a few of them live, and our shopkeeper takes care of it, and no one is arranged inside......"

Qiu Chen was standing behind Li Zhenbei, just hearing Li Zhenbei's question, her heart almost rose to her throat, but she was afraid that Xiao Er would answer that Lin Xu and the others had left...... At this moment, when she heard that Lin Xu and the second brother were in this inn, she was a little ecstatic. I can't care too much about it at this time, I wiped a handful of tears that flowed down at some point, grabbed Xiao Er's sleeve, and said hurriedly: "Quick, take me over to find them!" ”

Junzi was also startled by such an emotional catch, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Zhenbei, and when he saw Li Zhenbei nodded, he hurriedly took Qiu Chen and walked inside.

Walk through the front hall of the inn, go straight into the backyard, and after two more courtyards, you come to a neat and simple courtyard.

Before entering the door, Shunzi raised his voice and greeted him: "Yang Keguan, Yang Keguan, someone from your family is looking for you......"

Although Shunzi is just an inn guy, he ushered in the inn, and he saw more of this kind of family reunion crying and laughing, and when he saw Qiu Chen crying like this, he took a closer look, and more or less saw through some traces, and guessed that this must be Yang Erge's family, as for his wife or something else, he didn't dare to guess.

Since Lin Xu was taken away by Qin Yi, it has been half a month, from the beginning he waited patiently, and then he was anxious, asking around, except for the news that Qin Yi is the general's close personal guard of a hundred households, but he couldn't inquire about Lin Xu's whereabouts and news at all.

Yang Shumeng went out to inquire about the news every day, Junshu and Chengzi couldn't stay in the inn, and they all went out to inquire around, the weather was already hot, and they were anxious, and several people were anxious to inquire about Lin Xu's whereabouts, so they ignored Junshu's wounds, which had already improved.

Unexpectedly, when Junshu and Chengzi went out to inquire about the news again yesterday, Junshu suddenly fainted. Only then did I find that the wound on Junshu's arm had worsened and collapsed, the whole arm was swollen and red, and the wound was even grayish and yellow, and even faintly smelled...... This is a manifestation of significant necrosis.

Yesterday, Junshu fainted outside, and Chengzi finally carried the person back, and hurriedly begged the inn guy to invite Langzhong.

This Huairong is located at the border, speaking of which, Langzhong, who makes a living here, may not be very good at treating other diseases, but because of the terrain, most of the treatments for trauma are handed.

Even so, the innkeeper invited two of the most haode Lang Zhong back one after another, and after seeing Junshu's wounds, they all shook their heads again and again, didn't even want the outpatient fee, turned around and left.

At this moment, Chengzi was really frightened, and he didn't dare to leave Junshu alone in the inn, so he had to take out the money again and beg the guy to go out to find Yang Shumeng. But when the innkeeper found Yang Shumeng back, when he saw Junshu's situation, he heard that the two Lang Zhong refused treatment, and Yang Shumeng had no choice.

Zuihou, it was Xu Changwen who heard the news and made a special trip to the garrison to invite a military doctor who specializes in treating external injuries, so that Junshu could be treated. But the military doctor also said that Junshu's wounds were not well cared for, and he had already shown symptoms of severe collapse, and in such a situation, he only tried his best to treat it, but he was not even sure of it.

Beginning in the second half of the night, Junshu, who had been in a coma, began to have a fever.

As soon as the day dawned, Yang Shumeng ran to the barracks again to find the military doctor. For Xu Changwen's sake, the military doctor came, but he only prescribed a decoction to reduce fever, and said that there might be hope that the fever could go away...... The implication is that if the fever continues to go away, Junshu's life will be in danger.

On this day, Yang Shumeng didn't go out to inquire about Lin Xu's news, so he stayed by Junshu's side, not daring to make a mistake. As if he was afraid that if he missed his eye, his nephew would suddenly disappear from front of him.

The sleepless night and half a day made Yang Shumeng's face seriously tired and haggard, and his eyes were covered with red bloodshots, but that's it, Junshu's high fever still showed no signs of abating, but from the cold shivering at the beginning of the fever, to the motionless at this moment, he was panting heavily, which made Yang Shumeng anxious, but helpless!

In the midst of the torment, Poplar suddenly heard the loud greeting of the guy outside.

Yang Shumeng, who was extremely tired, didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a moment, before he suddenly stood up and rushed out.

"Big Brother ......"

Subconsciously, Yang Shumeng could only think of the possibility of finding the eldest brother from the border pass, and as soon as the eldest brother shouted, Yang Shumeng suddenly found that the thin and slender figure walking towards him was not the eldest brother Yang Shuyong, but the younger sister Begonia!

My sister came over in such a hurry...... What about the big brother? But what happened to the eldest brother?

"Begonia? How are you? Poplar's haggard face was filled with tears, but he looked at his sister who came to the front in surprise with red eyes, and asked directly.

"Second brother, I finally found you...... Are you alright? What about Lin Xu and Junshu? Qiu Chen didn't answer Yang Shumeng's inquiry, he sighed, and then saw Chengzi who walked out after Yang Shumeng, but he didn't see Junshu and Lin Xu, his intuition was wrong, and he immediately asked.

"Sister, Lin Xu has been taken away by a man named Qin Yi for half a month...... Junshu, Junshu, was injured, he had a sudden seizure yesterday, at this moment, he was in a coma with a high fever at this time......" Yang Shu suddenly heard his sister's concern, his heart trembled, he hung his head with a ashamed face, and explained the situation intermittently.

Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Chen heard that Junshu's trauma had recurred, so he squeezed straight into the door from Yang Shu's side and rushed towards the person lying on the kang.

When I ran to the kang, I saw Junshu's face being sallow, his eyes and cheeks dark and sunken, and his lips were dry and skinny...... The whole person was lying on the kang lifelessly, if it weren't for the heavy breathing that could be heard clearly, it would almost make people think that this teenager who used to love to talk and laugh had already died of life!

Even after listening to Yang Shumeng's story about Junshu and seeing Junshu's appearance, Qiu Chen was still taken aback, and at the same time, a heavy remorse and distress that almost made her unbearable came up, almost suffocating her.

It's all her fault, it's all because of what high branches she wants to climb and what backers she is looking for...... Blindly sending people to the border, now, one is missing, the other is seriously ill, so his life is in danger.

The tears that had flowed all over his face just now suddenly poured out like a flood that had burst his mouth, flowing down his cheeks, dripping on his clothes, and dripping on Junshu's sallow face.

Qiu Chen woke up suddenly, and hurriedly carefully wiped away the tears on Junshu's face, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears and snot on his face. The brain also began to spin rapidly.

According to Junshu's situation, it is a traumatic infection, if there are antibiotics, the certainty of treatment can be greater, but now, with the current conditions, she can't conjure antibiotics at all...... Chinese medicine anti-inflammatory ...... Antiphlogistic......

Suddenly, Qiu Chen's eyes lit up, he raised his hand again and pulled a handful of tears, turned to Yang Shumeng and Chengzi and began to order: "Second brother, you go to buy wine, the stronger the better!" ”

"Chengzi, you go find some willow bark, ask for old bark, go quickly...... Go ......."

Yang Shumeng and Chengzi were helpless for a long time and a long time, there was a person who was willing to tell things at this time, both of them seemed to have found the backbone of the heart at once, and they didn't care about what to say goodbye to when they reunited for a long time, Yang Shumeng and Chengzi took the order, immediately turned around and ran out, and went to buy spirits and willow bark according to Qiu Chen's instructions.

Qiu Chen's mood gradually calmed down at this time.

When she turned around, she saw Li Zhenbei, the guy, and the eight dart masters standing at the door of the house, and she immediately took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to Junzi: "Little brother, please go and help boil the pot and boil the water, be quick!" ”

But Junko refused to take the money, and turned around and ran out in response.

These days, Yang Shumeng lives here with Junshu and Chengzi, although he is anxious to find someone, he is quite kind to a few of them, and from time to time he brings back some food from outside, and uses them to do extra work, and he is never ambiguous about rewarding. Now seeing that Junshu's injury is in danger of his life, he and the other guys and shopkeepers of the inn feel distressed and pity, now that someone has come to the house, it is just for him to boil the water, how can he still ask for such a loss of money!

Li Zhenbei also stepped forward: "Mrs. Lin, what's the use of brothers, just command!" ”

Qiu Chen issued three orders in a row, and she was a little impatient at this time, she tried her best to calm down her emotions and stabilize her nerves, and then said to Li Zhenbei: "Li Dart, you ask the brothers, whose knife is the fastest, please use it for me...... Wait a minute, I'll buy a haode compensation! ”

"What compensation to talk about!" Li Zhenbei dropped a sentence, turned around and went out, and went to the yard to find the fastest knife.

Qiu Chen steadied himself, then came to the basin, took out the soap liquid and carefully washed his hands. Just as Yang Shu came back with a jar of spirits, Qiu Chen took it and tasted it, and it was only about forty percent at most, but it was too late to distill the alcohol right now.

After taking the wine jar, Qiu Chen asked Yang Shumeng to ask the inn for a brazier, and burned the charcoal, and brought it in when there was no smoke.

Soon, Chengzi also returned with a few large pieces of old willow bark; Li Zhenbei found a sharp dagger; Poplar came in with a blazier that was burning brightly; The young man, Junko, also sent a large basin and another bucket of boiling water in......

After everything was prepared, Qiu Chen went through it in his mind one by one, and determined that the current conditions could only have these things......
