Chapter IV Anding County
Yang Qi dug up the rotten flesh on Lu Dabao's body one by one, and cleaned the wound with spirits, after finishing these, Yang Qi touched his forehead, the temperature had dropped, not as hot as just now, and his breathing was much smoother, so he ordered someone to boil Lu Dabao's clothes in boiling water, and began to bandage the wound after simple high-temperature disinfection.
"Thanks to Brother Yang, otherwise we really don't know what to do." Li Mingwei saw that Yang Qi was looking good, and said gratefully.
"Brother Li, if you are not busy thanking me, whether he can survive depends on God's arrangement." Yang Qi wiped the sweat from his head and said.
"You have done so much, and our brothers are grateful." After Li Mingwei finished speaking, he looked at Yang Qi deeply and said, "In the future, if there is a place where you can use your brother, just ask." ”
"Brother Li, I don't shirk the blame, and I may really have to cause trouble to my eldest brother in the future." Yang Qi said as he climbed along the pole.
"Out of the way, out of the way!" Li Mingwei said: "The two of you might as well go and rest first, and our brothers will take care of it here." ”
"That's right, thank you." Yang Qi was really tired, and he didn't shirk it, and when he took Wei Dayong to the side, he couldn't care about the hungry grunt, and fell asleep when he fell to the ground, but fortunately, the weather was hot and the temperature was pleasant at night.
At night, he had nightmares, dreaming that there were battlefields everywhere, soldiers were in chaos, his parents, wife and children were chased by the Tartars and hacked to death one by one, he was in pain, his eyes were red, and his face was cold unconsciously.
"Ahh Yang Qi screamed, sat up suddenly, felt a cold liquid flowing down his face, and reached out to touch it, it turned out to be a piece of dew wet in the night.
"Brother Yang, you're awake!" Wei Dayong muttered, rolled over, and fell into a deep sleep again.
How could Yang Qi have suffered this crime, he missed the latex mattress at home very much, he was sleepy, sitting there, dazed, what should I do? Everything in the dream is so real, now I am alone, fortunately in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, although it is only the first year of Chongzhen, but yesterday the tragic situation of the Tartar invasion is vivid, and the soldiers are still unable to protect themselves, how to talk about the people? Family? I was still at a loss yesterday, but after the dream just now, I seemed to understand something, but I couldn't grasp it in a blink of an eye.
"Brother Yang is awake?" Li Mingwei walked back from outside with Hu Feng in his hand, carrying a lot of game and a bag of unknown wild fruits.
"Let's eat quickly, let's hurry after eating." Li Mingwei stuffed a large handful of wild fruits into Yang Qi's arms, handed the wild meat to Hu Feng to take it down, cleaned it up, and roasted it for a while to eat.
The original barbecue, Yang Qi This is the first time to eat, although there is no taste, but he still eats very fragrant, he knows that there may be a long time in the future, and he will not be able to eat meat, because this is the Ming Dynasty, the last year!
Because of Lu Dabao's serious injury, the group walked very slowly, and three days later, they finally came to Anding County under the rule of Yan'an Prefecture.
"Brothers, hold on, the county town is in front of you, let's go in and rest for a while, and then go to the guard to return to the team." Li Mingwei said.
"Whew! ~" Hu Feng cheered excitedly.
"Hey, I'm crazy, you're really worthy of your name, you're scared to death!" Wei Dayong said that since Yang Qi rescued Lu Dabao, Hu Feng's attitude towards the two of them has changed significantly, and after a few days of getting along, he and Wei Dayong have actually become good friends.
"Hmph, you care about me? Wait a minute, let you see what is the location of the county, Tubaozi! Hu Feng said disdainfully.
Yang Qi did not pay attention to the two, but intently looked at the Anding county town in front of him, only to see that it was made of blue-gray stones, and there were horse-faced archways rising on both sides of the city gate, probably affected by the Xiaoice River period, the original moat, the water level has dropped, the not very spacious suspension bridge is lying quietly there, three or three people, pushing wheelbarrows carrying some agricultural tools, walking along the path to their respective fields, Anding County City Wall fluttering a row of dragon flags, solemn, majestic, but eyes fell behind the city gate, Yang Qi's gaze couldn't help but be a little dull, only to see that there were five or six soldiers at the city gate, listlessly leaning against the city gate with a spear and farting, and wearing patches and patches washed white Ming Dynasty military uniforms, thanks to Yang Qi's side these days, there are often some deserters from the Ming Dynasty border army passing by, and they can only distinguish after seeing more, and they actually have no armor on their bodies, although this is not a border defense line, it can be regarded as the third line of defense in strategic depth, and now the war in the north is close at hand, The second line of defense is at risk of being breached at any time, but I didn't expect the border army in the Chongzhen period to be called 900,000 defenders, and the armament was so lax that these were still the troops of the Ming Dynasty.
The battle in the north seems to have burned here, and it is already noon, and there are not many people at the city gates. In ancient times, after the sun went down, it was necessary to close the city gate, many people came back late and missed the time to open and close the city gate, so there will be some storefronts about a mile outside the city gate, the people called it "warm shop" during the Ming Dynasty, can solve the problem of food and accommodation for passers-by, wait until the next day to open the city gate, and then enter the city. It's just that now these warm shops have been abandoned, and only some government-run express shops are still supporting, seeing this, it can be seen that the economic situation near Anding County is not very ideal.
I still remember that in later generations, tourists grabbed the huge copper buckle on the city gate to touch it non-stop, and a city gate to shoot endlessly, I didn't expect that I actually had the fate to see, such an ancient city gate, if you can take a photo, it would be great, now he can only think about it.
Yang Qi looked at the tall city gate carefully with a little excitement, the tall city gate that was originally clad in iron was also rusty because of disrepair, and there were a few places where the wood had also decayed, such a city gate could withstand several impacts from hitting the wood? It is conceivable that this is the seat of county governance in the Ming Dynasty? Yang Qi looked at the dilapidated city defense in front of him, the rust in that piece was like the border defense in front of him, and the rotten wood was like the current imperial court, weak and windless, this great river and mountain was actually corrupted to this point, Yang Qi was no longer in the mood to continue to check.
"Who?"
The sudden arrival of several big men, dressed in border military equipment, alerted several sergeants at the door.
"Take it!" Wang Li casually took out a waist card and threw it over.
"Ahh The gatekeeper who was questioning saw the contents of the waist card and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "See Lord Baihu!" ”
"See Lord Hyakho!"
The rest of the soldiers also knelt down.
"Well, let's all get up." Li Mingwei sat on his horse and said: "We have just withdrawn from the border, and now we urgently need to enter the city for supplies. ”
"Lord Hyakhu, please!" The little flag officer at the head said with both hands on his waist card.
"Let's go!" Li Mingwei waved and ignored the little flag officer.
"Let's go!" Wang Li took the lead and immediately took the waist card, and said directly without looking at the little flag officer.
"Drive." The group swaggered into Anding County.
