A strong wind blew, bringing with it some scorching heat, and the sun hung high in the sky, cracking the earth to pieces.

The earth was dry and there was not enough water, the grass and trees on the ground looked a little yellow, and the small rivers and streams that used to flow with water were now sunken ravines.

The bird chirped hoarsely in the air, as if unable to hold back its thirst, spun around in the air, and then flew carefully towards a wide river.

The river was so wide that it was about a few hundred zhang wide, and there was some wet silt in the middle of the river, and the bird did not dare to land directly in search of water, because hundreds of people were carefully fetching water from broken wooden barrels.

The people in the river were ragged and thin, and a few of them looked at the birds that were gradually descending, and their eyes lit up, revealing a hint of heat.

In this hungry world, as long as this bird dares to fall, it will become the prey in the eyes of these people!

Gao Tai had an iron knife hanging from his waist, and in his hand he was holding a broken wooden barrel, and there was a little muddy river water in the barrel, and he also saw the bird in the air, and his fingers trembled, as if he wanted to hold the hilt of the knife at his waist.

However, thinking that the child, who had not recovered from his injuries, was still waiting for the dressing, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and turned around with the barrel and left.

In front of the river, there is a huge camp, where countless ragged men and women wearing yellow scarves are noisy, with children crying out for hunger and women and children crying helplessly.

Around the camp, four teams of sturdy patrols armed with spears, and many wounded soldiers with severed hands and feet covered in blood gasped in the corners of the camp.

A hint of resentment crossed his eyes when he saw the pikemen in yellow turbans patrolling the camp, and then he immediately controlled his emotions and carried the barrel to the tent in the remote corner of the camp.

The tent was in tatters and appeared to have been made from worn flags from the battlefield.

"Father, you're back!"

Hearing the footsteps outside, a thin head poked out of the tent, this was a thin girl with black ash on her face, she saw Gao Tai's figure, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Hurriedly walked out of the tent and took the barrel from Gao Tai's hand.

"Xiao Ying, how is Childe doing now?, how is the injury on his body recovering?" Gao Tai lovingly touched the girl's dry and slightly yellowed bun, and asked softly.

"Father's herbs are very useful, and Childe's injuries are much better!" said a girl named Xiaoying.

With some difficulty, she carried the wooden bucket with some difficulty, and carefully poured the muddy water into the pottery bowl next to it, and there was a bonfire next to the pottery bowl that had not yet been extinguished, and a trace of the smell of herbs emanated from the pottery bowl.

"The herbs I picked can only be applied externally to treat some external injuries, Childe is mainly injured on the head, and the talisman water of Taiping Road is really useful, it seems that it won't be long before Childe can heal." ”

Gao Tai's face showed a hint of joy when he heard this, Gongzi was stabbed by the official army on the battlefield four days ago, and when he fell to the ground, he happened to hit a stone, suffered a lot of injuries, and woke up after a day and a night.

"You boil water outside first, and go to see Childe for your father! Remember to call me loudly if there is anything!"

Gao Tai explained, opened the tent, the grass and rags in the tent were simply spread on the ground, and a young man who looked eighteen or nineteen years old was lying on it, the young man looked upright, his complexion was slightly bronzed, not a very outstanding appearance, but there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

At this time, the young man had a strip of cloth oozing blood wrapped around his chest, and when he heard the footsteps, he immediately opened his eyes and turned over and stood up, his movements were crisp and neat, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he let go of the wooden stick in his hand and shouted: "Uncle Gao!"

Gao Tai hurriedly stepped forward to help the young man sit down, "Be careful, the injuries on your body haven't healed yet!" As he spoke, he looked at the young man's face as usual, and then took a step back.

The young man smiled bitterly, "I've been troublesome with Uncle Gao these days, if it wasn't for Uncle Gao's desperate guards four days ago and dragged me out of the chaos, I would still be alive now!"

Gao Tai's expression changed, and he said solemnly: "Is Childe treating me as an outsider?" I am a servant of the Gao family, and it is natural to serve Childe, and without Childe's protection, Xiaoying and I would have starved to death a long time ago, and I ask Childe not to say these words anymore!"

The young man nodded and stopped talking, but his heart was undulating, his current name was Gao Cheng, and the words were clear.

Suddenly came to this world four days ago, the soul fused with the remnant soul of this body, and in the process of fusion, I got some memories of this body,

It's just that the fusion is not yet complete, and there are still many memory fragments in his mind that have not been fused, so he only roughly knows his name and some trivial things.

Due to the change of soul, Gao Cheng is not familiar with the character of his servant Gao Tai, and since he woke up, he has been deliberately pretending to have a pain in his head, reducing his head-on contact with the other party and secretly observing.

After four days, he discovered that Gao Tai was loyal, did not notice his anomaly, and often risked his life to go to the field to collect medicine for him.

Knowing this, Gao Cheng also let down his guard and regarded Gao Tai and his daughter Gao Ying as his own people who could be trusted.

"By the way, Childe, when I was fetching water in the river just now, I heard that Qu Shuai was preparing to lead the army to Yingchuan, and he would be pulling out the camp in three days!" Gao Tai said suddenly.

Gao Cheng thought for a moment, combined with what he had known in the past few days. Analyzed: "The Yellow Turban Thief just fought a hard battle with the official army four days ago, and although he won, he didn't get too much grain and grass from the capture!"

"After being stationed here for a long time, there is no need for officers and soldiers to attack, and most of the more than 10,000 people in this camp will starve to death, and the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers are no match for officers and soldiers at all. ”

"This group of Yellow Turban soldiers doesn't have much choice, whether they go south or north, only by continuing to coerce the people to attack the city can they have any hope of survival!"

Gao Tai suddenly showed a convincing look. "What Childe said is extremely true, this group of yellow turban thieves either choose to starve to death, or they must pull out the camp and attack the city!"

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his face became extremely ugly.

"If the Yellow Turban thieves want to continue to attack the city, doesn't that mean that we still have to go into battle and fight with the officials and soldiers? If it weren't for these bandits, we would have returned to Guangling a long time ago, and now we are actually being coerced into the thieves' camp. If the official army knows our identity, how will the son enter the government in the future?"

There are not many memories left in this body, and Gao Cheng does not know much about the situation in the world after absorbing the memories.

So when he heard Gordon's words at this time, he didn't answer, but sighed slightly, and said: "If there is chaos today, the killings of the official army and the Yellow Turban Army, especially the Yellow Turban Army, are everywhere, even if we can get out of here, we will encounter other Yellow Turban thieves if we can't go far, so let's stay here first and find a way to save our lives." ”

Gao Tai could only nod when he heard this. Then he saw Gao Cheng's tired face, so he got up and retired, leaving Gao Cheng to continue to rest in the tent.

After Gao Tai left, Gao Cheng smiled bitterly, "Yellow Turban thief...... In the seventh year of Guanghe, this is actually the world of the Three Kingdoms, and I don't know what kind of bad luck I had, I suddenly came here, and the most terrible thing is that I was forced to join the Yellow Turban Army!"

The Yellow Turban Army, in his memory, has always been a representative of the rabble and the five scum of the war.

Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army was always regarded as a grass thief in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and as long as it ran into the hands of the officials and soldiers, there was only one word, kill! This situation was not improved until the later period when the princes were fighting for hegemony.

"Hey, it's not my turn to worry about the future of the Yellow Turban Army, the most important thing now is how to survive in this Yellow Turban camp!" Gao Cheng raised his arm, and suddenly there was a tingling pain in his chest, which was a sign that the chest injury had not healed.

At this time, Gao Ying came over with a bowl of herbs, this thin little girl was responsible for taking care of Gao Cheng these days, she was not tired, she said softly: "Childe, it's time to change the medicine!"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and took off the strip of cloth wrapped around Gao Cheng's body with ease, and carefully applied herbs to the wound on his chest, at this time the wound had begun to shrink, and there was still a blood-red trace.

"Great, Childe, the wound should be completely healed in another day. Gao Ying looked very happy, and her little face was slightly flushed.

After taking the medicine, Gao Cheng put on his clothes and said with a little surprise: "Xiao Ying, where did Uncle Gao pick the herbs? I was slashed in the chest with a knife, and I was so seriously injured, I can be almost healed in four days after applying the medicine? This is too fast!"

Gao Ying glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "Did you forget the childe?" It was the father who exchanged the Taiping talisman water from Wu Dubo with the property seized on the battlefield, and used the talisman water to save the son. Taiping Fu water can cure all kinds of diseases, but the herbs picked by my father don't have such a big effect!"

Gao Cheng's heart was shocked, isn't this thing a liar used to deceive people? How can it cure all kinds of diseases? However, when he saw Gao Ying's expression, he seemed to be convinced of the effect of Taiping Fushui.

"Well, maybe I have a head injury, I remember it wrong. Gao Cheng laughed dryly, and at this time he was rumbling in his stomach, and quickly changed the topic and asked, "By the way, how much do we have to eat now?"

Gao Ying's little face suddenly darkened a little, and she didn't pay attention to Gao Cheng's abnormality anymore, but said in a low voice: "We only have half a bag of grain left now, which Father still exchanged from the grain and grass official with all the money he left, which is only enough for us to eat for two days." By the time we set out for camp, we would be hungry. ”

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army was composed of die-hard believers in Taiping Dao and hungry people who were about to starve to death if they couldn't eat, and there was an extreme shortage of food and grass in the camp.

Before Gao Cheng came to this world, although his family was not a wealthy family, he also had no worries about food and clothing, and he had never experienced the feeling of being hungry, but now when he heard Gao Ying's words, his heart suddenly sank.

"There is only enough food for two days......"

Gao Cheng felt a sense of urgency, three days later, the army pulled out of the camp, except for the descendants of the Yellow Turban Army and the elite among the homeless, the remaining thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people would not survive after repeated treks would not exceed thirty percent.

Next, Gao Cheng continued to talk to Gao Ying, pretending to inquire, inadvertently about all the information about this world.

However, Gao Ying is just a little girl who has not seen much of the world, and she knows very little information. However, this little information made Gao Cheng's heart shake, and it took him a few hours to recover.
