Chapter 16: Facing the Plague
Chapter 15: Facing the Plague
The Battle of Yanwei, although the battle was not large, both sides were killed and wounded, which was also the cruel consequence of the war.
Maybe it's because the weather is unusually hot, or maybe it's because the dead bodies haven't been cleaned up in time, and a plague has come with a wail!
It started in the Yan Kingdom, and then the plague became more and more severe and widespread.
There were 50,000 people in the north of Zhongbu, and some people began to get sick, vomiting and diarrhea, dizziness and headaches. In particular, soldiers who have experienced combat bear the brunt. After only a few days of hard work, before I could understand what was going on, a few people left, and then dozens of people fell.
Taking pills has no effect.
This can make Zhong Shi, as a commander-in-chief, anxious. In the face of the plague, there were not enough medicinal supplies and spare supplies, and what was even more terrible was that the military doctors were helpless and at a loss.
Soon, the plague swept across the land of Wei like a ghost with a grievance!
Following the coach of Zhong Shi for many years, the deputy general Meng Wei, who has been going forward and succeeding, life and death, has only a few days of hard work, this strong, brave and smart brother has completely fallen, won weakly, and was angry like a gossamer, and then took Zhong Shi's hand and left, Zhong Shi watched him leave, in pain but unable to do anything.
Then, when Xiao Yuan and Qi Meng came back from the battlefield, they raised their eyebrows and said that they would have fun fighting for two more rounds. is also the same as Meng Wei, within a few days, he vomited after eating, and after vomiting, they were soon skinny, Zhong Shi was uncomfortable or uncomfortable, but there was no way.
And several such good brothers then fell. In the morning, they were still laughing loudly and fighting with each other, and in the afternoon they collapsed, and most of them didn't get up again after they fell.
The duty of the commander and the stoic and resolute mentality made Zhong Shi dare not express his sadness casually, but the pain in his heart could not be expressed.
He heard that there was a kind of stinky artemisia leaf in the south that could ward off the plague, although it was thousands of miles away, he sent people to find it quickly, but after the people went, they disappeared like mud cows into the sea.
Zhong Shi really had no choice, and in a hurry, he personally studied the local medicinal materials with Doctor Sun.
"Zhong Shi, you see you're really crazy!" Doctor Sun gritted his teeth and said.
Zhong Shi tried it himself, and this time he was poisoned, and the restlessness and restlessness of spring at night also brought Zhong Shi a nightmare!
When someone wakes up at night, he is heard shouting and talking nonsense, and at one moment he will say that there are villains on the wall; One will say that there is a spark; After a while, they were saying that the city was broken; Rush over......
Dr. Sun said that he was fortunate to find it in time, and he was anxious and angry with his goldfish eyes.
"I told him that it was poisonous, but he didn't listen to me. Pour more water on him! ”
"Rescue him and punish him severely!"
Doctor Sun said a series of cruel words.
But a few days after Zhong Shi was better, he tried again, and said with a wry smile that he would not break it alone until he found the formula.
There is a spirit called moving the heavens and the earth!
The gods always watched these suffering pioneers from a short distance, and from time to time they would give them some hints and help. Let them find some light in the thorns, and lead them to move forward bravely.
There is a small soldier in the army from the northwest, named Xu Weizhen, Xu Weizhen is very clever. At first, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he was so moved to see Coach Chung Si fighting with his life again and again, trying herbal medicine. Took the initiative to find the coach and said that there is a kind of northwest black soil that may work.
He recalled that when he was sick when he was a child, his grandfather gave him a few large bowls of black earth water. When Zhong Shi heard this, there was a glimmer of sunshine on his face that had been covered with dark clouds for a long time.
"Boy, life is at stake, say it sooner!" There is sorrow in his eyes.
"Perhaps, Meng Wei, Xiao Yuan, Qi Meng ......" He couldn't continue, tears were already wet on his clothes.
immediately took this little soldier named Xu Weizhen to the northwest border.
The Auran Department was in front of him, and he rode around it, and did not enter Aurand's room, but stood outside the barracks for a long time.
The wind in the mountains was blowing, his heart was cold, and he smoked the first cigarette in his life in a daze. With Mingyue, he swallowed all the tastes bitterly.
Zhong Shi estimated that the minions were almost ready to shovel the dirt, and were about to turn around. A black shadow flashed out from the corner of the Auran barracks, how could there be a figure at this time? Zhong Shi lingered in his heart and did not say a word. Moreover, he had been sitting here for a long time, but his gaze had never left that direction in his thoughts, and he had not noticed any movement, when did this man enter? Black tight-fitting clothes, tall, muscular body, but fast as a ghost. It was impossible to tell what he looked like in the night.
Zhong Shi threw a stone at Auran's window, and almost at the same time, a figure as light as a swallow had chased out like lightning, chasing towards the west......
It must not be someone inside the barracks, otherwise, Ao Lan would not have chased it out so quickly, she should have discovered something, with her ability, she didn't have to worry too much, Zhong Shi retreated very clearly.
Although Zhong Shi is calm and light on the surface, he is still worried in his heart.
After walking a few steps, I looked back and saw how quiet the night was.
The barracks were as quiet as they had been when he first arrived.
More than a dozen truckloads of black soil had been shoveled, and he rushed back to the barracks overnight, boiled water for the soldiers to drink, and then he fell asleep.
There was a turnaround the next day, and the symptoms were mild.
Someone really got better, stopped throwing up, and got up.
With the effect, it brought not only a surprise to Zhongshi, but a shock.
Again, it was paid in instalments.
Then Aura also sent his subordinates to send many carts of black soil one after another, and a plague disappeared because of these black soils.
Meng Wei's cousin is called Meng Jing, who has also followed Zhong Shi for many years, and he is the fastest to get better. Standing outside Zhong Shi's big tent, he hesitated, "Aolan has sent a few carts of black soil, and I have already accepted them." ”
Meng Jing's face was black and black, Zhong Shi looked at Meng Jing, his heart was sour, holding back tears, there are really not many cousins who look so similar to them, making Zhong Shi think about the scene of Meng Wei's death, "Do you want to write a reply letter to Aurand?" Zhong Shi couldn't bear to look at him more, but he didn't have any expression, and in the end, Meng Jing ordered the convoy transporting the black soil.
Women are always more infatuated, even if she becomes a general. Although the appearance is as strong as iron, everything is fine, but the heart still retains deep love and care for Zhong Shi, and after all, he is still looking forward to the day when he will release his previous suspicions. But the bell is like a bell like a stone, and the iron and stone are difficult to move. It's so silently tangled.
This plague completely changed Zhong Shi, ten years of military life, many wars, men and horses wrapped in horses, died on the battlefield, the heroic soul of the country, Zhong Shi faced the life and death of the war, although he was touched, most of them thought that death was deserved, and it was the true character of a hero.
But this plague was different, and his few brothers who could live and die together watched them go, which made him feel painful.
And in addition to the army, how many people died from this plague.
He couldn't rest assured of them
He was born in a famous family, after the general, others need to work hard for a lifetime to get everything at his fingertips, he is smart and wise, brave and strategic, everything is logical, but when he experiences one major event after another, or after experiencing one life and death after another, the kindest and weakest side of his heart occupies his main position.
Like a sufferer, he reflects every day, "How can we save those who are suffering?" ”
