Chapter 8 First Arrival in Liangzhou
Three days later, the two finally got out of the no-man's land. At noon on the day when food was scarce, the outline of the city wall appeared in the distance.
This is not a small county town, before you get close, you can see a huge plaque on the head of the city, which is engraved with the words 'Liangzhou City'. The city wall made of bluestone has corner towers and beacon towers. The moat loops around the city, and at the suspension bridge at the city gate, there is a long queue of people waiting to enter the city.
Yang Zixi dragged Zidui to the city, but since they were two children and were not tall, they did not attract attention. The people who entered the city were chatting and waiting, and Yang Zixi noticed that everyone who walked to the city gate had to take out a sign and hand it to the guards at the city gate for inspection.
Could this be the identity card of this place?
In fact, the city gate only opened the side gate, but dozens of guards with big shoulders and round waists were stationed. They were covered in armor, spears in their hands, and their faces were full of vigilance and seriousness.
"Why has it been so troublesome to get in and out of the city lately?" A vendor carrying a load next to him said to his companion.
His companion was also a businessman, and he pouted with his pout, "Don't you know? I heard that there was another war in the north, and I don't know if Lu Dao will fight in Liangzhou. Trouble is trouble, and it is also for everyone's safety, the government has posted notices, saying that it is to prevent Daxia spies from sneaking into the city. ”
"O Great Xia people! It's amazing! I heard that the nearby Dongjia Town was slaughtered by the Great Xia people, and there was no one alive in the town! My distant cousin's family has suffered, so it's better to check carefully! The hawker changed his face when he heard this.
Great Xia? Is it an enemy country? The slaughtered Dongjia Town? Are you talking about the dead city they came from? The people of the town died at the same time, and there were no wounds on their bodies, where could they be slaughtered?
Yang Zixi heard the conversation between the two and secretly pondered: Although on the issue of Dongjiazhen, the Great Xia people are carrying the black cauldron, but only this can also show the barbarism and ferocity of the Great Xia people, otherwise it would not make people look bad.
In this way, Liangzhou in the border area does not seem to be very peaceful.
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Zixi returned to the topic, no matter what happened in Daxia, the most important thing at the moment was to enter the city! The food they carried had long since been eaten, and it was not every day that they had the opportunity to catch wild boars, and there was no second way out except to go into the city to replenish supplies.
But where do you get the waist cards? She and Twilight are about black now, right?
She dragged Twilight back and forth through the crowd, trying to find an opportunity to see if she could follow the others in. When she reached the end of the line, she suddenly remembered an elderly woman who was staggering with a cane.
The old man's face was flushed, and sweat soaked the placket of his clothes. His eyes were closed, as if he would faint at any moment!
Yang Zixi quickly supported the old man. There is no doubt that it is heat stroke, and at noon in the middle of summer, standing under the sun again, how can the elderly stand it?
How could the weight of the old man be supported by Yang Zixi's small body? Her face flushed, and she desperately gave her eyes to Twilight, asking him to reach out and help.
Zidui rolled her eyes, and cursed in her heart, but she still helped the old man from the other side.
Yang Zixi breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to rescue on the spot, when the people around him had already shouted: "Oops! Amazing! An old lady fainted! "Get to the hospital!" "Can you take care of these two children?"
Yang Zixi's heart moved, and he opened his voice and said to the waiting team: "Let me!" Let's go! My grandma has a heat stroke! Please help us go to the city to find the doctor, shall we? ”
Hearing this, the crowd took the initiative to get out of the way, Yang Zixi and Ziwei helped the old man through the crowd, and took the time to thank the onlookers.
Seeing that he was about to walk to the city gate, a warm-hearted man suddenly appeared in the oblique stab, and he stepped forward and said to Yang Zixi: "Don't worry! I will take you to the hospital, and without waiting for her to respond, I snatched the old man from her hand and strode forward.
Yang Zixi was stunned, and there was someone who took the initiative to help? It's so simple that the folk customs are too simple, but they don't need it! Twilight smiled sarcastically at her, picked up her hand and stepped aside.
Yang Zixi didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly stepped forward and said to the enthusiastic man: "Don't work hard, our sister and brother can do it themselves." ”
When the man heard the word "strong man", he raised his chest more and more, and said happily: "Don't bother, Liangzhou Renhetang is on East Street, I'll send you there!" ”
When they arrived at the city gate, the guards habitually asked, "Where is the waist card?" ”
Before he could finish speaking, he was besieged by a group of people.
"What kind of waist card do you look at when it's all on this?" "That's it! Could it be that the old man and the half-grown child could be the spies of Great Xia? "Human life is at stake! If you delay your treatment and make a mistake, can you afford it? ”
The guards were startled, and they were busy passing the buck to each other, but finally let them go.
Yang Zixi looked at the enthusiastic man who helped send people into the city together, and unconsciously said secretly in his heart: Could it be that this benevolent brother is also a black household without a waist card?
Seeing that the man was about to go straight to the hospital with the old man on his legs, Yang Zixi was afraid that the old man would be difficult to get out after waking up, so he hurriedly rushed up and shouted: "You can't carry it under the sun, people who suffer from heat stroke have to lie down immediately!" Let's bring in a doctor from the medical center. ”
When the man heard this, he chose a shade and put the old man down. Yang Zixi helped the old man to lie flat, raised his head, and then shouted at the man while pinching the man: "Go, get a basin of cold water, and bring a little salt!" ”
The man came back to his senses and hurried away. Yang Zixi checked the body temperature of the old man, and it was fine, but it was only a mild heat stroke, which was not very serious. So she unwrapped the sheet and fanned the old man.
After a while, the man came with a basin of water, Yang Zixi first poured some water on the old man's face, after some first aid, the old man has gradually regained consciousness, and at the moment he is closing his eyes, panting weakly.
Yang Zixi took out the clay pot, poured some water, and added a large handful of salt to it, which made the man feel distressed.
put the jug to the old man's mouth and fed it little by little,
After a while, the old man's body temperature began to drop, and a prompt sound sounded in Yang Zixi's ears: Get a treatment value of 1 point. She understood that the old man should be fine, so she began to look left and right, ready to find an opportunity to evacuate.
