Chapter 117: Hu Yanxun

“…… Good news, the military is going to send a team to the camp to deliver grain and grass......" Before Xu Changwen's words were finished, Qiu Chen had already greeted him with joy on his face.

"Really? When does the trip depart? ”

Looking at the bright smile on the woman's thin face, Xu Changwen panted slightly, but he still couldn't help but smile.

Nodding, Xu Changwen said, "Really, really!" Today, the county sent someone to load the car, and it is estimated that it will leave the morning after tomorrow at the latest......"

As soon as he heard this, Yang Shumeng, who came out closely, couldn't help but wonder: "Why hasn't it been decided yet?" ”

Qiu Chen hurriedly smiled and said to the second brother: "Second brother, what you do in the army, how can you say it casually!" ”

Being asked by Yang Shumeng, Xu Changwen was also a little embarrassed, and was thinking about what kind of language to explain, Qiu Chen had already answered for him, simple and popular, but accurately explained the original situation of the matter. Xu Changwen showed a relieved expression, and at the same time, he secretly admired in his heart, this woman really made him more and more impressed. This kind of insight is really not like what a woman from a village can have.

was reminded by his sister like this, Yang Shumeng also came to his senses, and apologized to Xu Changwen with a smile. Xu Changwen also knew that he was just honest and simple, and he didn't have the heart to question and embarrass him, so he naturally smiled and returned the salute.

After the two of them were polite, Qiu Chen said to Yang Shuyong very formally: "Mr. Xu is very helpful to us...... Thank you so much! ”

Xu Changwen subconsciously reached out to help, and when he saw his outstretched hand, he was about to touch the woman's arm...... He suddenly came to his senses, and the hand stretched out in mid-air paused, and then fell back in a daze, and only said abruptly: "Mo so, Mo so...... Mrs. Lin is too polite! ”

Qiu Chen had already straightened up, and said with a smile when he heard this: "Mr. Xu has helped us a lot, and we really have nothing in return, so we just sincerely thank you." ”

Xu Changwen just smiled and shook his head, Qiu Chen and Yang Shumeng invited him into the house again, but he didn't agree, only said that let the Lin family get ready, and when the exact departure time came from the barracks, he would come and inform them. After speaking, regardless of Yang Shumeng and Qiu Chen's retention, he insisted on going.

Seeing Xu Changwen coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry, without even entering the door, let alone drinking a cup of tea, Yang Shumeng was inevitably a little reluctant, and muttered in a low voice: "Mr. Xu is really a good person, but he is a little anxious, and he didn't even drink saliva......"

Qiu Chen stood beside him, naturally listened to this whispered mutter, and said with a smile: "Second brother, Mr. Xu has just taken office, and Huairong Town has just been robbed by the Rong people before, so many people are waiting for him to take someone to settle and comfort him...... There are other things that we can't think of waiting for him to do, and he must have squeezed out time to deliver the letter...... There are many things to do, so we don't have to think about it so much. ”

Yang Shumeng is the most loyal sister slave, as long as it is said by his sister, he does not hesitate to accept all the orders.

Listening to Qiu Chen's explanation, Yang Shumeng only smiled and nodded again and again: "Well, well, that's the case, or my sister understands things!" ”

"Second brother!" Qiu Chen was a little embarrassed about Yang Shumeng's unconditional maintenance and even spoiling, she called out and said with a smile, "The second brother doesn't understand, the second brother is honest and kind, but I'm afraid that he will treat the guests slowly!" ”

"Hehe......" was praised by his sister a little, Yang Shumeng's heart was sweeter than eating honey, but, obviously, this man is not used to modern straightforward praise, and the bright smile on his face revealed a shyness that did not match the appearance.

Seeing him like this, Qiu Chen didn't want to say anything more, changed the topic, and continued to discuss with Yang Shumeng what to bring...... Previously, they had also discussed, but at that time, it was based on finding a guide to enter the grassland, but now, the situation has changed, and they have to follow the army into the grassland, and what they have to prepare must also change. Exactly, there should be an increase.

After all, following the military into the grassland, relying on others to ensure safety and guide the direction, they naturally have to reciprocate. The silver is too sensitive, if it is really as rumored outside, if General Zhenbei is strict under the rule and strict military discipline, it is very likely that the people will not dare to accept the silver. Then, bring more delicious food and distribute it to those soldiers, which can be regarded as a show of gratitude. Of course, you can also bring more silver, so it is convenient to use it in case you need it.

After the two discussed, Qiu Chen asked Yang Shumeng to bring Chengzi with him, and asked the inn to send someone to lead the way and go out to buy more beef and live chickens to come back. The weather is still hot, and other foods are not easy to carry, so she plans to ask the inn to help make some beef jerky and roast chicken, these two kinds of meat are delicious and delicious, and the most important thing is that the baked goods have low moisture content, which is relatively easy to carry, and will not spoil after three or four days of storage in summer.

Yang Shumeng took Chengzi out, and after a while, Li Zhenbei returned.

Qiu Chen told Li Zhenbei the news sent by Xu Changwen, and Li Zhenbei's gloomy face also showed a touch of joy.

Although Lin Niangzi did not refuse to enter the grassland before, he was not without worries about entering the grassland in this situation, even if he found a guide who was willing to lead the way, his worry was not much lessened. In fact, the number of them in their group is too small, and Lin Niangzi has no combat effectiveness, and his friend who has a big mouth is also a better brain, and it is useless when encountering problems. Not to mention encountering the remnants of the Rong people, or encountering a small group of wolves, it is difficult for them to escape.

It is different to be able to keep up with the military's grain and grass transportation team, the military's transportation of grain and grass is the top priority, and it is related to the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers at the front, so it is natural to send troops to escort it. In this way, as long as it is not the attack and looting of a large group of people, ordinary thieves and bandits do not dare to make up their minds at all, and small groups of wolves and beasts will be avoided from afar, so that the personal safety of their group is naturally guaranteed, it can be said that the heaviest worry in his heart has been lifted at once, and it is no wonder that Li Zhenbei changed his worry for a few days as soon as he heard the news, and even the dislike caused by that inauthentic friend faded, and he couldn't help but show a happy face.

"Well, that's a good thing!" Li Zhenbei praised again and again, and said, "Since I have already joined the army, then I will go and ask for the silver back, we don't need him!" ”

As he spoke, Li Zhenbei turned around and was about to walk out.

Qiu Chen hurriedly stopped Li Zhenbei with a smile and said, "Li Darttou, I think that although we have kept up with the army, we can't completely count on others, we can have the ability to protect ourselves, and it is all haode to have our own guides......"

Qiu Chen's words didn't need to be said too thoroughly, Li Zhenbei had already understood.

Lin Niangzi doesn't want to completely put her life safety in the hands of others, no matter when, she tries to let herself have the ability to protect herself. Even if it's just the ability to sign up, or even run for your life!

This can't help but remind Li Zhenbei of the small firecrackers that the Lin family took out in the valley, he was only shocked at the time, but now that he thinks about it, Li Zhenbei can't help but sigh secretly, it seems that that time was also arranged by Lin Niangzi!

As a professional dart master, the role of being hired is to protect the safety of people and goods. Lin Niangzi's arrangements and actions are undoubtedly distrustful of them, I have to say that after Li Zhenbei thought of this, he inevitably felt a little uncomfortable, but soon, he secretly rejoiced that if it wasn't for Lin Niangzi's arrangement last time, not to mention the Lin family, even the caravan of them and the Liao family's Rejuvenation Hall would probably not be spared.

Secretly smiling bitterly, Li Zhenbei also acquiesced to Lin Niangzi's arrangement and no longer asked for the money advanced.

After that, Qiu Chen and Li Zhenbei discussed the materials they needed to bring to the grassland. Li Zhenbei suggested that in addition to food and water, it is best to bring a leather jacket per person. Because after leaving the wild goose cloud and entering the grassland, the temperature will drop lower at night, bring a leather goods, which can be spread on horseback during the day, and can be used to protect against the cold at night, so as not to freeze if the temperature is too low.

Qiu Chen nodded again and again when she heard this, she only thought about eating and drinking, but she forgot the climatic characteristics of the large temperature difference between day and night on the grassland.

After that, Li Zhenbei said another thing - wolf medicine!

It is said that this wolf medicine has a taste that humans are not very sensitive to, but the wolves are very disgusted, as long as you bring this wolf medicine, the wolves will avoid it from a distance and make a detour, thus reducing the possibility of being attacked by wolves after entering the grassland.

After saying two things, Li Zhenbei simply got up and said, "Lin Niangzi is going to eat, I'll prepare these things!" ”

Qiu Chen asked again how much silver he needed, and Li Zhenbei was also refreshed: "Ten taels of silver is enough, and it costs some money to buy skins, wolf medicine is not worth much!" ”

Qiu Chen simply took out two silver ingots, one large and one small, and handed them to Li Zhenbei: "Li Darttou, in addition to those, if you need anything else, I will trouble you to buy it back once, and if the money is not enough, you will come back and get it!" ”

Li Zhenbei was not polite, took the silver taels, arched his hand, and went in a hurry.

Qiu Chen saw Xu Changwen, and then discussed things with Yang Shumeng and Li Zhenbei, they were all standing in the courtyard, and at this time, everyone was arranged to go out, and Qiu Chen also turned back to the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Junshu sitting on the edge of the kang, taking off his shoes on one foot, and the shoes on the other foot had not had time to take off.

Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile, walked over, helped Junshu take off his shoes, helped the bed quilt lean against the low wall of the kang, and let Junshu lean on it.

Seeing that his aunt was busy with her head down, but she didn't make a sound, Junshu couldn't hold it anymore, her cheeks turned redder, she pursed her lips, and it took a long time before she called weakly: "Auntie......"

"Huh? Know you're wrong? Qiu Chen raised his head, squinted at Junshu, and asked with a calm face.

As soon as Junshu met his aunt's serious gaze, he lowered his head weakly, nodded and said, "Well, I shouldn't eavesdrop on the adults......"

This is an automatic recruitment? This kid is too honest!

Qiu Chen couldn't hold back his laughter, then restrained his smile again, and pointed at Junshu's head and said, "I discussed things with your second uncle and didn't want to hide it from you, what does it matter if you don't listen to it?" I'm not talking about the mistakes you made, I'm talking about you going out into the ground without my permission. Don't forget, I just changed your medicine yesterday, what did I tell you at the time? Didn't you say that you wouldn't be too intense in your activities? If you want to get off the kang, you should also be supported by someone to avoid stress on the injured arm as much as possible, so as not to cause re-infection...... You've forgotten all of this so quickly, haven't you? ”

"Auntie, I ......" Junshu really didn't expect that his aunt didn't think he was eavesdropping on adults, but was concerned about his injury, just now the anxiety and nervousness dissipated, but it was full of emotion, after choking and screaming, the voice was stuck in the throat and couldn't be spoken, the eye circles were already red, and tears were rolling in the eyes.

Qiu Chen sighed, took out a handkerchief from his cuff, wiped Junshu's eyes, and comforted him gently: "Okay, don't feel uncomfortable." I know you want to follow you into the prairie, but I can't say yes or not yet. Whether you can enter the grassland or not depends not on me, but on your own wound healing. Tomorrow afternoon, I will change your medicine again, and then see how your wound heals. Heals well, and it can take you with me. If it doesn't heal well......"

Before Qiu Chen's words were finished, Junshu interrupted eagerly: "It will definitely heal well, it will definitely heal well!" ”

Looking at the young man's eager expression and flushed cheeks, Qiu Chen was really angry and funny, raised his hand and slapped Junshu's head: "You stinky boy, you just sneaked down to the ground, and you dare to exaggerate at this time!" Hmph, if your wound doesn't heal well tomorrow, don't say that you can't follow you into the grassland, even your second uncle will stay and take care of you! ”

"Ah......" Junshu was surprised, and quickly softened his voice and begged, "Auntie, you must not go alone, even if my wound is not good, you have to let the second uncle follow you...... Oh, let Nariko stay with me......"

From the eagerness just now, it is not difficult to see how desperately Junshu wants to follow him to the grassland and find Lin Xu in person. But as soon as he heard that she was going to leave Yang Shumeng behind, he immediately gave up his request and thought about her wholeheartedly.

Couldn't help it, Qiu Chen's heart was filled with a sour, happy and relieved complex feeling, raised his hand, but no longer pat, no longer pointing, but gently landed on the top of Junshu's head, slowly rubbing, and said: "Well, you can rest assured, as long as your wound heals well, nothing else matters." ”

Junshu nodded again and again, raised his eyes and saw the tears flashing in Qiu Chen's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will take good care of my injuries, and the wounds will heal soon!" Nothing will happen again......"

Qiu Chen nodded, touched the top of Junshu's head, took his hand back, and said with a smile: "Well, I know." ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but habitually ramble: "After this incident, you can learn a lesson, think more about your family in the future, try to keep yourself calm, and don't be confused when you are in a hurry...... At this time, if you are sick and your wound has recurred, there will be your second uncle, Mr. Xu, as well as Chengzi and I, take care of you, please Lang Zhong, take medicine to heal your wounds...... But one day, when you grow up, there will always be a time when you will be alone, and at that time, instead of someone following you to carry it for you, you need to give things to someone younger than you who follows you. At that time, if you are in a hurry and confused, and you don't care about anything, then not only will no one carry it for you, but there will also be people who are younger than you and who follow you will also be affected by your confusion and mistakes...... Sometimes it may just be a loss of money, but sometimes, it's also very likely that it's just a loss of life, including your life and the lives of those people......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Qiu Chen couldn't hold back.

However, this time, Junshu didn't feel funny, didn't feel impatient, but listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time to make notes. Not only do you write it down verbally, but you write it down in your heart. Later, when Junshu became the leader of the party, he still remembered his aunt's advice from time to time.

Of course, this is an afterthought, so I won't mention it here.

It was close to noon when they received Xu Changwen's letter, and as soon as they received the news, Yang Shumeng, Li Zhenbei and Qiu Chen were busy preparing for themselves. Time flies in the busyness, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the evening of the next day.

Xu Changwen did not come over in person this time, but sent a servant to pass the word - early tomorrow morning, in the middle of the day, let's go!

Qiu Chen and Li Zhenbei went through the materials they brought and made sure that nothing was missing, which was a sigh of relief.

The materials are ready, another important point, the entourage has not yet been determined, and it depends on the healing of Junshu's wound.

Qiu Chen washed his hands clean, scrubbed it with a bottle of alcohol that he had taken out in the past two days, and then took out the dressing change baggage that had been prepared for haode detoxification a long time ago, and began to change the dressing for Junshu.

It was still the dagger that cleaned Junshu's wounds, and Qiu Chen used it to cut the stitches of the bandaged cloth. As the layers of cloth were unraveled, Junshu's wounds were gradually revealed.

At first glance, Qiu Chen saw that there was no redness and swelling at the sutures of the wound, and there was no oozing, and he was happy in his heart. Then he scrubbed his hands with alcohol again, and then began to gently press the sutures of the wound with the tips of his fingers...... Especially the hollowed-out part. In the event of a secondary infection, this part of the hollow part that digs out the necrotic muscle is undoubtedly the most susceptible to infection.

When the finger tip is pressed, it feels a little hard to the touch, and there is no particularly soft and swollen feeling, and with the finger pad pressing, there is no oozing from the suture...... Qiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief gently.

So far, Junshu's wound healing is very good. If it can be maintained, in another ten days, or half a month, or twenty days, Junshu's wound should be healed.

The healing she refers to is not just the healing of the sutures, but also the healing of the growth of the muscles under the skin. If the skin heals, the inner muscles do not grow well, or if an infection occurs, it is more troublesome than not healing...... Even, because it is more secretive and deeper, after relapsing again, if you want to be rescued, you may not have the luck of this time.

However, Qiu Chen also checked the healing of Junshu's wound sutures, perhaps caused by the last infection, or maybe the time was too short, Junshu's wound sutures were very smooth, and there was no sign of infection, but the healing was still not enough. Qiu Chen took alcohol and healing medicine, cleaned Junshu's wounds, and bandaged them with medicine, then looked up at Junshu.

Junshu had been concerned about his aunt's expression just now, and when he saw that his aunt was particularly gentle, he already understood: "Auntie, you don't need to say it, I will stay and recuperate with peace of mind!" It's just that the second uncle ......"

Qiu Chen was slightly surprised, and then said with relief: "Your second uncle stayed to take care of you." Well, I'll bring Naruko! ”

In view of the problem of Junshu's wound, Yang Shumeng had no objection to Qiu Chen's arrangement, and only secretly called Chengzi to the door,-- and explained the things and precautions he thought of one by one.

On the second day, Yang Shumeng did not come out to see off Junshu because he wanted to stay at the inn to take care of Junshu.

Qiu Chen and Chengzi led a horse and drove out of Huairong Town with a servant sent by Li Zhenbei and Xu Changwen. Out of Huairong Town and four or five miles west, on the main road near the barracks, Qiu Chen saw a convoy coming from the direction of the barracks.

When Xu Changwen saw Qiu Chen, he hurriedly flashed out of the officials, took Qiu Chen to the back of the team, and introduced: "This time, it is Ling Shanwei's Huyan Baihu who is transporting grain and grass, and I will take you to recognize it!" ”

Walking with Qiu Chen, Xu Changwen lowered his voice and introduced her: "This person has only been in the army for half a year, and he has a magic marksmanship, which is said to be able to shoot through copper coins in one hundred and fifty steps...... Some time ago, the Rong people invaded the south, and this Huyan Baihu was still just a general banner, but because of his courage and good fighting, he led hundreds of people in his department, and repeatedly succeeded in ambushes, killing more than 400 Rong people and capturing more than 300 people...... Immediately, General Qin of Zhenbei personally ordered him to be promoted to one hundred households! In half a year, he was able to enlist in the army, promoted several levels in a row, and became the youngest hundred, which is naturally a hero. This time, you can meet Huyan Baihu escorting grain and grass, naturally it is foolproof. You are safe and secure on the road, and I, the people we left behind, are not so worried in their hearts! ”

Qiu Chen listened silently, and when he saw that Xu Changwen's words had come to an end, Qiu Chen naturally smiled and thanked him, and then instructed Xu Changwen to go to the inn to deliver a letter, and told Yang Shumeng and Junshu that she had kept up with the most powerful young general, and she was safe and worry-free all the way, so that their uncles and nephews could rest assured, especially Junshu, who was not worried or impatient, so that they could better heal the wound.

Xu Changwen naturally agreed.

Then reminded in a low voice: "When I arrived, the tall and burly man over there is Huyan Baihu, with a single name and a word!" ”

Qiu Chen nodded, followed Xu Changwen's prompt and looked up, but he didn't pay attention to Hu Yanxun, but suddenly saw a short and thin figure standing next to the burly and tall Hu Yanxun, it was the short and thin man she saw at the door of the inn that day, and his appearance was not good!

His heart jumped suddenly, and Qiu Chen subconsciously closed his gaze and looked at him.

Then, I heard Xu Changwen's warm voice in her ear and introduced her: "This is the Huyan Baihu who is responsible for guarding this time, stationed in Lingshanwei." Huyan Baihu's one-handed marksmanship is very good, but it has been approved by the general himself! ”

Qiu Chen turned his gaze with a smile and looked over indifferently......

------Off topic------

The plus was delivered on time, and the relatives flipped through their pockets......

Hehe, the relatives are so powerful, let Su Su be surprised, so happy that she couldn't sleep at four o'clock in the morning, and she got up and added more ......

Love you guys, hug them one by one!

The half-crippled millet crawled away to make up for sleep, and then continued to code......
