The battle of Tianchengwei had just begun, but the two Tatar armies that had attacked Yulinwei and Datong Mansion in advance were using up more than 1,000 infantry and 60 black chariots claimed by the White Lotus Sect in a triumphant manner.

This time the style of attack was unprecedented, and the Tatar cavalry was almost an ornament, especially when dealing with some small cities, only to see one black car after another explode in front of the city gates, destroying several cities in the fire, and the battle seemed to be over at the beginning.

And this style of play also made the city gate lose instantly when facing David City such as Yulinwei and Datong Left Guard. With the sound of the explosion, the enemy cavalry rushed through the flames and bricks to plunder the city.

The Ming court was shocked.

Du Ling has been on a solo journey since he left Beijing. However, in that section of the Jingshi, Ah San did not follow Qian Bin's will to secretly protect him, but was afraid that he would not recognize the way, so he sent him out of the Jingshi while giving him a map and silver. After making sure that he couldn't be wrong, I hired a car for him and sent him away.

The carriage finally left the range of Jingshi, and Ah San's figure standing at the intersection was long gone. Du Ling felt a little sad, in this life, in addition to the Zhuangjiabao and the Nangong family, Ah San is the best for him, but the road ahead, he still has to walk alone!

According to Ah San's suggestion, he could go to Wei Yuanwei first, there was already a contact point there, and it was very likely that he would meet Ye Qiuniang.

As far as Ah San knew, Nangong Jin would contact Ye Qiuniang. Of course, after all, Wei Yuanwei is a little far away, if there is an accident that can't be reached, or Ye Qiuniang can't be found, the second step can go back to Datong Mansion. Because in Datong Mansion, you can contact Zheng Shu in the same way as before. The problem is that Zheng Shu may not be in Datong Mansion, and the other problem is that even if Zheng Shu is found, he may not know where Nangong Jin is. The third step, if the first two steps are not good, it is best to go to Binh Duong for safety. But in this way, Du Ling lost its meaning and the mission failed.

After listening to Ah San's analysis, Du Ling made up his mind not to go to Pingyang. If Nangong Jin is in the guard house in the area of Xuanda, it is a big deal to find them one by one. Therefore, he looked for an acropolis and an acropolis from east to west, and the coachman changed two or three, and he walked for a long time and did not reach Weiyuanwei.

As soon as he passed Datong Mansion, the coachman advised him not to go forward. The refugees on the road were all talking about Yulinwei and the black cars that bombed the city in several nearby cities. After another day of barely walking, there were more and more refugees, and the driver refused to go any further. Finally, I left Du Ling back.

Du Ling carried his luggage and stood in the wilderness, full of dazedness and even more sadness, he finally held back his tears, took out a map and compass, and after figuring out the direction, he encouraged himself and continued to hike to the northwest.

After walking on the original official road for two days, I finally arrived at a city. Du Ling saw this city from a distance, and was originally full of joy that he could sleep well again, but the more he walked, the cooler his heart became.

Black, this land has no other color, scorched earth everywhere! Trees, houses, cities, broken walls, everything became carbon.

Du Ling walked on such a road, and the closer the corpses got closer to the city, the more they came, some of them were burned into charcoal and curled up, and some of them were cut off limbs, and they couldn't see their human shapes for a long time. Town? He didn't even know why he was going into the city, there was no city left.

Climb over a pile of rubble, which may have been the city wall in the past. Standing at last in this small, charred, collapsed city, there seemed to be no living creature except the startled crow.

"Why is that? Why? Du Ling muttered, looking at all this, he paused for a long time and shouted: "Are there still living people?" Listen carefully, only the sound of the wind and the crows, "I'm a doctor!" Is anyone still alive? Still no response was heard.

Du Ling did not give up, wandering and searching in this city, every piece of rubble, every broken wall, maybe there was a place to hide the survivors. With this belief, he wanted to find a glimmer of hope for life in this dead silence.

Two hours later, Du Ling, who had been rummaging through this small city, finally squatted in the corner and cried. For this scorched earth, for this dead city.

Du Ling spent the night in this dead city. A night of chaotic dreams, like seeing everyone in the city, laughing and happy. Suddenly, I saw a black car bombing the city, and the city was full of panic and panic. Some fled, but went out of the city, but were hacked to death; There is a desperate defense of the city, and the city is gone, only desperate is left; There are also children, women, ....... In the midst of the raging fire, it was charred black.

In the early morning, Du Ling opened his eyes, the corners of his eyes were full of tears, and he slowly walked away from the city. Outside the city, he turned to face it, slowly knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said softly: "Let's go!" He wiped away his tears and got up and left, never looking back.

It was not until noon that I saw a little girl lying on the side of the road*.

"What's wrong?" Du Ling rushed over.

The little girl was only six or seven years old at most, and she said weakly, "My stomach hurts." ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm a doctor." After Du Ling carefully examined it, he took out the silver needle and medicine. After a stick of incense, although the little girl's face was still pale, it was no longer painful.

"How? Is it better? Du Ling wiped the cold sweat from her face, picked her up, and let her lean on herself.

The little girl nodded, leaning weakly.

Du Ling whispered, "Don't eat things you shouldn't eat." You can't eat food that has gone bad, and you can't eat good-looking mushrooms that grow on trees, because they're poisonous. ”

The little girl continued to nod, but she looked aggrieved. After a while, he asked, "Are you a doctor?" ”

"yes." Du Ling nodded affirmatively.

"Can you save my brother?" The little girl was pleading and hopeful.

"He's eaten badly, too?"

The little girl didn't answer, struggled to stand up, and pulled him hurriedly, "I'll take you there, you must save him!" ”

"I'll hold you." Seeing that the little girl was unstable, Du Ling was very sad, picked her up, and found that it didn't seem to have much weight, "You show the way." ”

In the woods at the foot of the barren mountain, there are more than a dozen ragged Ming people. Seeing Du Ling coming over with the little girl in his arms, Qi Qi looked at him with a frightened expression.

"Brother over there." The little girl pointed to a small stone cave not far away.

Du Ling climbed this low stone hill and approached this small stone cave. There was only one person lying in the cave, and there was a little boy in it, his legs ulcerated, and he smelled of foul odors. The boy lay with his eyes closed, waiting to die.

Du Ling gently carried him out of the stone cave, but he still didn't wake up, and checked up and down, and only skin and bones were left in his body. Du Ling had never seen such a person, his nose was sour, and he forcibly said to the little girl, "Is there water here?" ”

The little girl nodded: "There's a little pool, right over there." We drink it all the time. ”

It is true that the small waterhole is not far away, but it is more accurate to say that it is not so much a small mud pool. Du Ling looked at this pool of turbid water and was stunned. Behind him, more than a dozen Ming people stared at his every move.

Du Ling took out a small kettle for boiling water from his luggage, drew a pot of water, lit a fire according to the method taught by Nangong Jin, and filtered the water with a cloth several times before he began to clean the wound for the young man, remove the rotten flesh, and apply medicine. Although the boy hasn't woken up yet, he doesn't look as miserable as he did when he first met.

Finally, someone stepped forward and asked, "Are you a doctor?" ”

The person who came was a man who couldn't tell his age, Du Ling looked at him and nodded, "I'm a doctor." ”

"Ah, he's going to be okay?" The man gestured to the boy.

"Yes. The wound was not treated in time, but now it has been cleaned and medicated, and it will get better slowly. Du Ling said as he opened all his luggage and wanted to set up a tent on the side of this mountain wall.

"You—Will you cure any other disease?" The man asked cautiously.

"Of course it will!" The little girl hurriedly replied, "This doctor's brother has cured my stomach, and now it doesn't hurt." ”

The man hesitated, looked at Du Ling still struggling to support the pengzi, and stepped forward to take the things in his hand, "I, I'll help you support this, you, can you help us see a doctor?" We, we ......, and we can't pay for the consultation. ”

Du Ling looked at him and nodded, "Okay." You have to help, though. If there are many people to be treated, there will not be enough medicine, so we have to find medicine and take care of the sick. Also, you can't drink the water directly over there, otherwise you'll get sick, I'll teach you how to get it, and ....... Du Ling couldn't think of anything else, "In short, I will cure." ”

"Okay, doctor, you say it." The man lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "Besides, we don't have much to eat, otherwise Xiaohua wouldn't ......." ”

Du Ling smiled at the man, "Don't be afraid, not afraid." As long as it's not poisonous, you can eat it, and we'll look for it together in a while, I'm here, it's okay. My surname is Du and I am a doctor. ”

I don't know if I was infected by Du Ling, but in the next few days, this refugee camp seemed to come alive, and everyone knew how to find food in the woods, so if I wasn't sure, I went to find Dr. Du. I also made a filtration device by the waterhole, and I boiled it to drink it so that I could get less sick. Ah Gou woke up, although he couldn't move yet, Xiaohua smiled every day to help take care of the patient.

In less than ten days, the other refugees hiding in the woods also learned the news and came slowly. For Du Ling, there are more patients, including burns, knife wounds, cold and fever, and even labor. Du Ling was busy all day and taught everyone how to use first aid, so many people began to go out to find refugees in an organized manner.

There are more and more people in the camp, but everyone will help others when they get better. Looking for water, food, and medicine, as long as it is helpful to everyone, Du Ling will teach.

Before you know it, nearly 100 people have gathered in this camp in a month. The medicine brought by Du Ling had long been used up, and he sometimes left the camp to find some suitable herbs. But this time, when she was about to go out, Xiaohua fell and twisted her foot. Thinking that he wouldn't go too far, he waited for the medicine and left without waiting for Xiaohua's feet to get better.

Du Ling searched for medicine all the way, and walked farther and farther, until it was dark, and he suddenly found that he couldn't find the way he came. After a moment of fear, force yourself to calm down. I found a leeward place and started a fire, and nested all night. The problem is that he still can't find the way the next day, and he sleeps in the open for two days, which makes Du Ling want to cry aggrieved.

On the third day, Du Ling, who was still looking for his way in the forest, suddenly heard someone call him, "Doctor Du, but Doctor Du?" ”

"I am, I am." Du Ling looked for a voice and left.

A man carried his wife on his back and grabbed him in a panic, "Doctor Du, let's go!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Don't go back! Officers and soldiers are coming! Come on! The man pulled Du Ling in the opposite direction.

The old lady on his back also cried and said, "Doctor Du, the village is gone, let's go." ”

"What?" Du Ling didn't understand what they meant at all.

The man hurriedly said: "Officers and soldiers are here to grab people's heads!" They can't beat the Tartars, so they come to kill the common people as the heads of the Tartars for military merit! Dr. Du, let's go! ”

"What?!" Du Ling was shocked.

"More than 100 people came yesterday! My mother and I ran out! Doctor Du, don't go back! If you are caught, you will be killed! The man pulled Du Ling and hurried away.

Du Ling Huli Hu Tu followed, and suddenly stopped, "No, no, I still have something in the village." There are also Xiaohua and Dog, and many people are not well! ”

"Dead! They're all dead, Dr. Du. The man said sadly.

"No, no, I'm going to go back and see!" Du Ling shook off his hand, hurriedly ran towards the way he came, walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Is this the direction?" ”

"Yes, but Dr. Du, don't go back! In case, ......" the man pleaded.

Du Ling shook his head, "Let's go, I'll take a look." He trotted away.

"Doctor Du, Doctor Du......." The man tried to stop him from behind.

**********

It took Du Ling another half a day to find the camp. The camp, which was originally full of human voices, was silent, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Du Ling was stunned, completely unconvinced that this was the small village he had left.

"Little Flower, Dog, Kuroko, Maomao!" Du Ling rushed into the camp like crazy.

Step into a puddle with one foot and lift your foot, it's not a puddle! Blood, kick by kick!

"Little flower! Dog! ”

Not far away, someone was lying on the ground, Du Ling rushed up, but he stood on the ground suddenly! Headless corpses! What about the head? What about the head?!

"Little flower, little flower!" Du Ling turned around and looked for it from shed to shed.

Corpses, all corpses, without heads!

"Little flower! Dog! Little flowers! "No response, they ran away, right? Definitely! They must have run away if they were so clever!

Unfortunately, a quarter of an hour later, hopes were dashed.

Ah Gou was cut off his head, if it weren't for the injury on his leg, Du Ling really didn't want to believe it, and Xiaohua, maybe she was young, although she was not cut off, she was cut off half of her body.

Grief and hatred are surging! Du Ling knelt on the ground and cried. A whole camp of people! Maomao's illness hasn't healed yet, Kuroko's daughter-in-law just gave birth to a baby, and they're all there! It's all in a pool of blood!

"Why?! Why! Ah Jin, Ah Jin, where are you? Where is it! ”

Du Ling didn't know how long he cried, and finally stood up and began to dig a pit. He dug this big pit alone for three days, and then buried all the corpses into the pit one by one.

Do all this, and find your own usable luggage in the camp without saying a word. Finally, before leaving, a fire burned down the once hopeful camp.
