225. The grace of salvation

On the empty flat ground in front of the guard, Nangong Mo was wearing a light blue cloth robe and sitting on the side sorting medicinal herbs. In the past, the graceful bun in Jinling and Youzhou was put down, and the hairpin ring was removed, and only a trace of hair was tied up in a light blue daze. The black hair was soft and scattered behind him, and his expression was calm, not like a married woman, but more like a girl in the boudoir.

Not far in front of him were several circular dustpans made of bamboo, on which various medicinal herbs were spread out. The quality of the medicinal materials bought from the pharmacy in the town made Nangong Mo a little dissatisfied, but now he was helpless. Since she has already said that she will not rely on the power and identity of King Yan, her current identity will not be able to touch the medicinal materials in the army. Not to mention, there is also a General Zhu Hong who doesn't like them very well. But not every military doctor is as open-minded as the old lady doctor who was in Nangong Huai's army at the beginning.

Gently flatten some damp herbs, take advantage of the good sunlight today, and pick out the ones with poor quality by the way. After finishing this qiē and leaving, Nangong Mo took out a book of medical skills and sat in front of the room to study it. Occasionally, a soldier passed by in the distance and couldn't help but look this way for a few years, but soon left. At this time, most of the soldiers were working in the fields. Wei Junmo, as one of them, naturally has to follow to supervise.

Extremely bored, Nangong Mo got up and walked outside.

"Ma'am." A boy who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old appeared in front of her and said respectfully.

"Huh?" Nangong Mo was stunned, "Who are you?" ”

The young man smiled: "The subordinates are under Wei Baihu, and the little one is called Ding Xiaotie." ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing here?" ”

The young man named Ding Xiaotie smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, "Wei Baihu followed his wife and said that his wife could teach him the little skills." "Although he didn't know what the fairy-like lady in front of him who looked no more than two years older than himself could teach him, his mother said that he must obey the orders of his boss when he was in the army."

Nangong Mo looked at the young man in front of him and said, "You just joined the army?" ”

Ding Xiaotie touched his head and said a little shyly: "The little one has been in the army for two months, and my father died in the winter in battle." ”

Nangong Mo nodded clearly, the military household system in Great Xia is like this, as long as a person is a soldier, he will be a military household for generations. When the father dies, a son must be taken over from the army. It's just such a young child, not yet thirteen or thirteen years old, right?

"How old are you? You're the only son in the family? Nangong Mo asked.

Ding Xiaotie shook his head and said a little gloomily: "The younger one has an older brother, the elder brother is older and can take care of his mother at home, but I am young, so I came to join the army." ”

Nangong Mo sighed, "Fighting will kill people, aren't you afraid?" ”

The boy raised his head, and there was a hint of panic on his blank face. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, if I don't come, I will have to ask my eldest brother to come, and my mother and nephew will have no one to take care of at home." Nangong Mo smiled indifferently and said, "That's it, you can follow me in the future." ”

"Yes, ma'am!" Ding Xiaotie said happily. Although he is young, he doesn't understand anything, Wei Baihu and his wife are good people, Wei Baihu just saw his young age, so he let him follow his wife and avoid the hard work on weekdays.

"Let's take a look outside." Nangong Mo said, Ding Xiaotie hurriedly led the way in front, and heard the person behind him ask, "Are you literate?" ”

The young man shook his head, and said that military families like them rarely send their children to school seriously, after all, even if they study well, they can't take the imperial examination, so it's better to save a few dollars. No one in the ordinary people's family is rich, Nangong Mo nodded and said: "In the future, I will recognize ten words a day." Although Ding Xiaotie didn't know why, he nodded obediently.

Not far from the camp, the thousands of acres of land in Yima Pingchuan were cultivated by the soldiers and horses under Zhu Hong. The border army fought on horseback, and practiced farming in his spare time. Farming is not just a matter of planting, and if you plant well, you will be rewarded and punished. Every year, most of the grain and grass of the army are grown by these soldiers themselves. It's just that although Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, the land is indeed barren, and the grain grown in the same area is two or three percent less than that of the fertile land.

When Nangong Mo passed, he saw that many people were busy on the endless plain, and when he saw them coming, he suddenly saw a lot of eyes through. Ding Xiaotie shrunk his neck and hid behind Nangong Mo, and Nangong Mo couldn't help but pause at his feet. It is indeed easy for a woman to be conspicuous when she walks around in the army, but since she has already arrived in the army and plans to stay for a long time, it is impossible for her to just hide in the guard post and not go anywhere.

I saw Wei Junmo's figure from a distance, even if he was standing in the middle of countless people wearing the same clothes, Nangong Mo could still recognize him at a glance. Wei Junmo was standing on the edge of the ground, watching his subordinates farming, and there was a person who seemed to be from one hundred households standing next to him and saying something to him. Wei Shizi was born in the clan, so naturally no one can expect him to farm. Fortunately, when he reached his status, he didn't need to work in the field himself. Although Nangong Mo had to admit that he didn't see Wei Junmo working like an ordinary farmer, he felt a little regretful in his heart.

"Yo, Wei Baihu, your lady is here." Seeing Nangong Mo approaching, someone immediately began to coax.

It's a pity that Nangong Mo is not a shy little girl, and it is unrealistic to expect her to hide her face shyly. Nangong Mo just smiled faintly at the person who was coaxing and nodded slightly. The dignified seven-foot man suddenly blushed and hurriedly shut up and didn't dare to speak again, which caused another burst of ridicule from the people next to him.

"Flawless, what's the matter?" Wei Junmo saw Nangong Mo, nodded to the man beside him, and walked forward quickly.

Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "It's nothing, come and take a look." ”

Wei Junmo also saw the young man hiding behind Nangong Mo, and said lightly: "This kid is too young, he shouldn't be stupid to look at." Whatever you command him to do, if you are

12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!

Tell him to do it, and if you see it pleasing to the eye, teach him something. ”

Nangong Mo nodded, Wei Junmo took pity on Ding Xiaotie for his young age, and he was afraid that he also wanted to find someone to help him do chores.

"How did you feel when you first came here?" Nangong Mo looked at the people who were working in full swing in the distance, and asked with a smile. Nangong Mo is much more familiar with these than Wei Junmo, after all, she has lived in a place like Danyang for five or six years. Usually the natural eyebrows contact those ordinary grass people. But Wei Gongzi, whether it is in Jinling City or in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that he has never been in contact with these things.

Wei Gongzi nodded calmly, "It's okay." ”

Nangong Mo was clear, "Actually, I still don't like these, right?" Who told you to fight with your uncle? "I don't want to be the commander of an army, I want to come to be a hundred households, since I'm here, don't want to do anything special, and I can't do it if I don't like it.

Wei Junmo said: "I didn't fight with my uncle. ”

Nangong Mo nodded and said, "I know, does Wei Gongzi want to speak with his own ability?" In fact, it should be okay for you to rush directly to Zhu Hong's camp and beat him up. ”

"Seriously?" Wei Gongzi raised his eyebrows, as if he was heartbeat.

Nangong Mo rolled his eyes, "I'm kidding." ”

"I'm kidding, too."

"I don't see it.

The middle-aged man who had just spoken to Wei Junmo also walked over, looked at Nangong Mo and smiled at Wei Junmo: "Wei Baihu, this is your wife?" I don't know what this person originally wanted to say, but he paused in the middle before hesitating to say the word madam. Obviously a little unaccustomed and awkward. Nangong Mo didn't care, this middle-aged man could see that he had climbed up from the bottom just by looking at his appearance, and like most of the generals and soldiers in the army, he was a relatively rough and informal character. In this army, there are very few Confucian generals like Chen Yu, and the vast majority of people are the kind of people who can't read big characters, or can only recognize some words.

Presumably, this person also looked at Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo's appearance and temperament was not like ordinary people, so he reluctantly changed to a more elegant word.

Wei Junmo nodded slightly and said, "This is my wife, surnamed Nangong." ”

"Huh?" The man was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and nodded, "Mrs. Wei." Obviously, he was a little unaccustomed to Wei Junmo's introduction of his wife so solemnly.

Nangong Mo smiled faintly and nodded slightly. Wei Junmo said softly: "This is Yan Baihu. ”

Nangong Mo smiled: "Yan Baihu, I'm sorry." ”

"No, no." Yan Baihu hurriedly waved his hand and said, looking at the two of them hesitating for a moment, obviously having something to say to Wei Junmo, and feeling that it disturbed their husband and wife to talk. Nangong Mo smiled: "I have nothing to do, but I am disturbing your business." You talk, I'll go out for a walk. After speaking, he nodded at Wei Junmo and walked forward with Ding Xiaotie.

Yan Baihu looked at the woman in blue who was strolling away, and at the new colleague who was standing in front of him coldly and aggressively, and his head was full of doubts.

At this time, it is already the end of March, and even in the north, it is already a bright spring, and the grass grows and the warbler flies. Of course, there is nothing worth lingering on here, but Nangong Mo found a lot of medicinal herbs on the edge of the ground and on the small hillside in the distance. On a whim, he took Ding Xiaotie to a distance, and taught him to recognize herbs along the way. Ding Xiaotie is really not stupid, many herbs only need to be taught once or twice, so he doesn't need to say it again, he can distinguish it himself.

There were no high mountains near the camp, just a continuous group of mountains to the south, although the mountains were not high, and there were no steep peaks, just ordinary hills. Ding Xiaotie walked in front of Nangong Mo, and while putting some of the herbs he had just met that could already be collected into the back basket behind him, he said to Nangong Mo: "Listen to those old brothers and uncles, there are a lot of good things in this mountain. In winter, if you are lucky, you can still hit wild boars, and I heard that Peng Zongqi and they have also hit wolves. ”

Nangong Mo was a little curious, "There are wolves here?" ”

Ding Xiaotie nodded and said, "There should be, there are wolves in our house from time to time, but no one dares to fight." I heard that there are more wolves on the grasslands outside the gate, and they appear in groups. It's those Northern Yuan barbarians who are afraid of it when they encounter it, so they always think about entering the customs to grab our land. Ma'am, let's go in by ourselves, won't we?"

Nangong Mo smiled: "Don't be afraid, the mountains here are not big, even if there are any fierce beasts, they will not appear lightly." And we don't go to the mountains. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Sitting on the grassy hillside, Nangong Mo played with the wildflowers folded on the road and looked around, and he could see groups of soldiers working in the fields in the distance. Not far away, Ding Xiaotie was happily picking some herbs into the back basket. In a short time, he had already learned three kinds of herbs, and the lady said that when he returned, she would teach him what they were used for.

A soft "click" sounded loudly, Nangong Mo turned around vigilantly, and said in a deep voice: "What person?" ”

Ding Xiaotie in front of him immediately threw away the back basket vigilantly and ran towards Nangong Mo's side. Not far away, in the bushes around the corner, a man fell out. Nangong Mo was stunned, and looked at the young man in front of him, "You"

The young man's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Girl, do you remember me?" I'm the shopkeeper of the town's pharmacy. ”

Nangong Mo really remembered him, the young shopkeeper of the small pharmacy where he went to buy medicinal herbs yesterday, Nangong Mo asked, "Why are you here?" ”

The young man smiled a little helplessly and said, "Ignore it, I will go to the mountains to collect some medicine." Unexpectedly, Nangong Mo saw that he was a little wolf, one leg was still bent unnaturally, and the already thin young face was also white, and there was a cold sweat.

"Aren't you the shopkeeper of the pharmacy?"

The young man shook his head and said, "In a small place like ours, except for the occasional people who pick their own medicine and sell it to the store, most of them also

12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!

Most of them are also picked by themselves. You can't make money at all when you buy medicine from big pharmacies in Youzhou City, and it's too expensive. Big pharmacies don't want to come to us. Nangong Mo nodded and said, "The medicine in your store is indeed not very good." "It's not just that the quality of the herbs is not good, but also the techniques of the people who collect the herbs.

was complained by the guests, and the young shopkeeper was a little embarrassed.

Ding Xiaotie stared at him vigilantly, making sure that he was not in any danger before he relaxed slightly and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The young man smiled wryly, "I fell down the hillside, it seems to have broken a bone." ”

"So what do you do?" Ding Xiaotie looked at Nangong Mo a little helplessly, Nangong Mo walked over and squatted down, reached out and pinched his left leg, and said, "It's indeed a fracture." ”

The young man could only smile helplessly.

Nangong Mo thought for a while, turned back to Ding Xiaotie and said, "You go back and talk to Jun Mo to see what he can do." ”

Ding Xiaotie hurriedly shook his head, "How can that work?" Who protects Madame when I'm gone? ”

Nangong Mo skimmed him lightly, and the young man said, "Little brother, I'm going to be lame, even if I have bad intentions, I can't do anything." And I really run a pharmacy in town. Ding Xiaotie rolled his eyes, "Who said you, there are beasts in this mountain!" ”

Nangong Mo smiled: "Okay, you go and come back quickly." Otherwise, we'll leave him here and go back by ourselves." ”

After all, the little young man's compassion prevailed, and he looked at the young man and said to Nangong Mo: "I'll be back soon, madam, you must be careful." ”

"Let's go." Nangong Mo looked down at the injury and said casually.

Ding Xiaotie rushed away, Nangong Mo casually pulled out a dagger from Fu, and the young man hurriedly shrank behind him, "What do you want to do?" Nangong Mo glanced at him silently, and directly cut a hole on his trouser leg with a knife, exposing the injured place, no more, no less. This person's injuries are indeed not light, not only is the blood dripping, but the bones can be faintly seen.

Nangong Mo calmly helped him clean up his wounds, pulled over the back basket that was thrown aside by Ding Xiaotie, picked out a few herbs and threw them to him, and said, "You buy medicine yourself, do you know how to apply medicine?" ”

Looking at the dagger in her hand, the young man swallowed his saliva and swallowed the words back, nodding quickly. Nangong Mo then turned around and walked away.

Will such an irresponsible person really be healed by a Mongolian doctor? The young man's thin face was a little more tangled, he looked at the herbs in his hand, gritted his teeth when he looked at his injuries, stuffed the herbs into his mouth, chewed them, and slowly applied them.

Just when the young man wondered if Nangong Mo had abandoned him, he saw her walking back with a few branches. Squatted down, looked at the leg that had been dressed, and frowned with some disgust. Raising his eyes to look at the young man, he was very interested in offering a fairly clean cloth. Nangong Mo bandaged it three times and fixed it with a branch, and finally hesitated, pulled off the hairband on his head and helped the fixed branch.

"Thank you, girl." The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and the wound on his leg didn't seem to hurt so much after applying the medicine. looked at Nangong Mo and said, "I don't know the girl's surname?" ”

Nangong Mo glanced at him, "Wei." Take it with you here, and someone will probably send you back in a moment. ”

After speaking, Nangong Mo picked up the back basket and walked to the other side. A hint of disappointment flashed across the young man's face, Wei? Or Wei?

Not far away, Ding Xiaotie ran back with two people quickly, "Madam, I'm back!" Baihu said that he would send him back. ”

Behind Ding Xiaotie were indeed the two soldiers under Wei Junmo. Nangong Mo asked, "Won't it delay your business?" ”

The soldier said, "Don't worry, madam, there is nothing wrong with it now." As long as 100 households agree, we can go out. ”

"That's good." Nangong Mo nodded and pointed to the person behind him: "Send him back." ”

"Yes."

The young man was lifted up by two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, and he did not forget to say, "Girl, thank you for saving me." In the future, if you come to buy medicine, I will give you a discount. ”

"Your medicine is terrible." Nangong Mo said lightly.

“”
