Chapter 42 Punching Out the Sky

When Li De woke up repeatedly, it was already the next morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info rubbed his drunken and still dizzy head, groggily got up from the bed, and I don't know who carried him back to the house after being drunk last night. When he opened his eyes, he found that the "Hummer" was staring at him, and he turned his head back from time to time to arch the hair on his body, and Li Deyi said for a while: "I know, I know, I forgot to brush the blood on your body from yesterday's battle." Take a walk, and this will wash you clean. ”

Li Deyi made three buckets of water and put them on the ground, picked up a brush and began to clean the "Hummer". It took a while to finally clean the "Hummer". After washing the "Hummer", Li Deyi remembered that the blood on his body had not been washed, and he wiped his body with his hand, and sure enough, the blood stains were dry. I ran back to the house and saw that the armor was piled aside, and the blood stains on it had not been wiped off. Li Deyi picked up a piece of oily skin and a dry rag and began to clean his armor. After picking up the armor, I also cleaned the blood stains on my body by the way, and I didn't have to change the cotton clothes I was wearing inside, so I changed into an old military uniform that was obviously one size bigger outside. This set of military uniforms was specially given by Li Deyi in order to thank Li Deyi after Guo Mianyuan in logistics said that he was his daughter-in-law. At that time, Li Deyi happened to be short of clothes to wear, and this old military uniform solved Li Deyi's urgent need. At that time, many veterans said that after they became daughters-in-law, they secretly stuffed Li Deyi with a thank you gift, and Li Deyi sent them all back, leaving only this old military uniform.

As soon as Li De was ready, he hurried to the wounded barracks and gathered the boys to continue their lessons. Li Deyi had an idea in his heart, "After this big battle, it is estimated that for a long time, there will not be those unsightly Tuliao people who dare to attack." The Tuliao royal court is now busy stabilizing the rear and digesting the amazing wealth that has been plundered, and it is impossible to send a large army to wipe out such a small Dingbei County at this time. Just take advantage of this rare time to enlighten the children and teach them to cultivate their original qi. Li Deyi knocked on a piece of broken iron hanging from a tree and began to call the children to come to class.

As soon as Li De walked into the house, he found that the boys' eyes were shining brightly when they looked at him today. Before Li De could walk in front of the blackboard, a chubby child raised his hand. "When you are in class, you have to raise your hand to speak." When he was in class for the first time, Li Deyi inexplicably remembered this rule, and since then it has been settled.

"Han Fu, what do you have to ask?" Li Deyi nodded at the little fat man who raised his hand and asked.

"Brother Li, I heard that you also went into battle in the big battle the day before yesterday?" The little fat man asked timidly.

"Well, I went into battle, and I rushed out with the cavalry." Li Deyi replied.

Hearing this, several voices suddenly came out of the children's pile at the same time, "Brother Li, tell me about it." "How did that fight go?" I heard it was a big win. "Brother Li, ...... you" and other questions popped up seven or eight at once.

Li De opened his mouth, what he wanted to say, to find that the deepest memory of the battle the day before yesterday was actually the last sight of the seven or eight veterans he saw before he fell into a coma. Li Deyi shook his head vigorously and began to try to recall the big move the day before yesterday.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Deyi only said one sentence: "Of the more than 100 cavalrymen who rushed out together, only eight of them came back alive in the end, plus me and Wang Zhuangbiao of the Huotou Battalion." After saying this, Li Deyi's eyes turned red and he couldn't say any more. At this time, Li Deyi was not in the mood to teach these boys, but when he looked up, he saw that a group of children sitting were casting inquiring eyes. Li Deyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Let's go, I'll take you to the battlefield to see, today's class should be regarded as an observation of the battlefield in advance." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, there was an uproar, and the children were happy, and they hurriedly lined up in a row, and followed Li Deyi out. Li Deyi didn't know what kind of wind he was smoking today, and when the children were making a fuss and lining up, he actually went to get a red flag, and temporarily dipped ink and wrote a few big characters on it, "Weibei Youth Camp."

As soon as Li De carried this big banner and went out with these fifty-three children. Walking on the road, the literate veterans of the Weibei Battalion secretly gave a thumbs up when they saw Li Deyi's big flag, "Don't look at the young little medical officer, when you go to the battlefield, you are also majestic and brave, and our Weibei Battalion has hope in the future." ”

"That's it. Brother, the little medical officer is not only majestic on the battlefield, I think he also has a very good way, otherwise how can I help you talk about your daughter-in-law, you say yes. ”

"That's, that's. Fortunately, thanks to the little medical officer, I can talk about my daughter-in-law, and when I have a baby in the future, I will be worthy of my dead father. ”

"Brother, this time we have rescued a lot of young women, you see ...... me"

"I can't take care of this, you have to point to the little doctor."

Li Deyi took the children all the way out of the city gate and walked towards the main battlefield of the day in the east. When passing by the city gate, Li Deyi deliberately paused for a while to let the children look at the still obvious traces of scorched battle and frozen blood stains on the city wall. The children looked up at the mottled bloodstains at the head of the city, and they all held their breath, as if they were thinking about the terrible battle in their minds. Li De didn't speak, and at this time they didn't need to talk much, leaving them to experience the cruelty of war quietly. Behind the heroes who won the battle, there is the blood and corpses of the soldiers all over the ground, which is neither romantic nor beautiful, only bloody and cruel.

After seeing the blood stains left on the city and the scorched marks of the battle, the children were obviously depressed, and they no longer had the enthusiasm and joy they had when they set out. Li Deyi didn't speak, pursed his lips and led the children to continue walking, heading towards the main battlefield. After walking almost a mile out of the east gate, I came to the center of the main battlefield that day.

"This is the center of the main battlefield that day." Li Deyi gestured with his hand, looked up and saw a small earthen bag not far away, pointed there and said to the children: "Not far from that earthen bag is the place where Wang Zhuangbiao slashed the thief chief that day." You can look around, and remember that you can't go alone, you have to go in groups of three or five. A group of children formed groups of three or five and began to disperse. Li Deyi walked to the top of the small dirt bag by himself, and stood there looking around to keep an eye on the scattered children.

Li Deyi stood stunned, as if recalling the day when he desperately broke through the barrier and cut down the Tuliao banner. Just as he was distracted, he heard the boy's shout: "Brother Li, come and see what this is!?" Li De ran over in a few steps and walked among the children in a circle.

It turned out to be a dead corpse, Li Deyi said: "This is the corpse left by the Tuliao people that day, and the corpse of our Weibei camp has been recovered." I don't know if it was picked out of the soil by wild dogs or wild wolves and gnawed the rest. Go play elsewhere, it's not much to see. After driving the children elsewhere, Li Deyi went to the neighborhood to find a thin slab and stone, which he used as a shovel, and dug a pit again to bury the body. He did not do this to pity the Tuliao, but if the corpse was left to the wilderness, when the weather warmed up in the spring, it would easily rot and stink, thus causing epidemics. As soon as Li De buried the corpse, he raised his head and looked carefully at the footprints around him, and he had a plan in his heart.

After staying here for a while, feeling that the time was almost up, Li Deyi gathered the children again and led them to the north. The Weibei battalion swept away all the heroes in Dingbei County, and easily exterminated all the bandit cottages nearby, and now successfully controls most of the land in Dingbei County. It's winter, so it's impossible to farm, but the land has been ruined by the war, so it's time to fix it before it's completely frozen for the next year. At this time, a large number of people in Weibei Camp were working in the fields, and Li Deyi planned to take these children around to take a look, since they had already come out, they couldn't go back a mile out of the city, they had to go a little farther.

As soon as Li De took the children and walked two miles to the south, he arrived at a large area of dry land, and then to the south was Xiaoqinggou, and a small piece of rare water in the northwest borderland. As he walked, Li Deyi frowned, the weather was already extremely cold, but the people working in the fields did not have cotton clothes, and they only approved a broken felt. On such a cold day, I can only approve a thin felt to keep out the cold, and it can be seen that the people are also very slack in their work, and they have been tidying up the fields for a while. Li Deyi secretly remembered it in his heart, and silently led the children to continue walking.

Li Deyi led the children around Dingbei County for a long walk, and when he saw that it was almost time to eat, he returned to the city with the children. After arranging the children's dinner, Li Deyi ate it with a bowl of rice by himself.

While he was eating, a soldier came to find Li Deyi and said that the old doctor Sun was looking for him. Li Deyi hurriedly finished the rest of the rice in the bowl in a few bites, saw that there was no grain residue left, touched his mouth and rushed to the master. As soon as Li Deyi stepped into the master's courtyard, a black shadow pounced on him like lightning.

Flashing to the side, Li De repeatedly reached out and grabbed its tail, and then tried hard, unexpectedly didn't drag, Li De snorted, "Okay, I'm getting fat again, I can't control you anymore." As he spoke, he shook his hands vigorously, grabbed the two hind legs of the gray-haired wolf cub, and directly hugged him upside down in his arms. Li De repeatedly threw the wolf cub into the sky, caught it with both hands, and rubbed it for a long time, and the wolf cub let out a low howl before stopping.

patting the wolf cub's head, Li Deyi said proudly: "Hehe, you want to sneak attack me, 'Four Eyes', you are still too young, you have to come on." "This little wolf cub is the cub left by the dead green giant wolf king that Li Deyi brought back from the grassland before. The little wolf cub's fur was still gray at this time, and it had not yet turned cyan, only two handfuls of silver hair above the eyes, like two extra eyes, so Li Deyi called this little wolf cub 'Four Eyes'. Li Deyi once asked Old Doctor Sun why Four-Eyed's coat color was not like his father's mother, and Old Doctor Sun explained that it was because Four-Eyes had not practiced the original qi and the color of his coat had not changed. The little wolf cub flatteringly stretched out his tongue and licked Li Deyi's hand, and circled around him, Li Deyi had no choice but to reach out and take out a small piece of jerky and hand it to it.

Li Deyi pushed open the door and entered the room, bowed to the master, and said, "Master, are you looking for me?" Old Doctor Sun raised his head from the table, took off his sunglasses and glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "Are you feeling better?" Li Deyi took two steps forward, helped the master put the sunglasses and glasses into the box and put them away, and said, "Nothing, I'm in good health, Master." Is this seized glasses good? The old doctor Sun grinned at the corner of his mouth and said: "I don't know if this sunglasses and glasses were from the palace of the central minister of Zhongshen City, and they were looted by the Tuliao people, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of the master in the end." As the teacher gets older, his eyes have long been dizzy, but thanks to the timely arrival of these glasses, it has helped the teacher a lot. Speaking of which, according to legend, these glasses were also invented by the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty 600 years ago. Hey, the dynasty established by such a wise and martial person as Taizu will also be destroyed in the hands of unfilial children and grandchildren, this world is really like a white cloud and a dog. As he spoke, Old Medical Officer Sun pointed to a burden next to him and said, "This is a new cotton coat specially made for you by the teacher, you can wear it to see if it is appropriate, you and your senior brother each have a set." ”

Li Deyi happily opened the baggage, took out a set of cotton clothes made of blue coarse cloth, and happily tried it on the spot. Wearing this set of cotton clothes directly on his body, halfway through it, Li Deyi seemed to remember something, the excitement on his face disappeared, and he took off the cotton clothes again.

As soon as the old doctor Sun saw the apprentice's expression, he knew that something was wrong, so he put his hands in his arms and sat there waiting for the apprentice to open his mouth. Li Deyi lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Master, I took the students out of the city gate today and walked around. Old Medical Officer Sun looked at Li Deyi quietly and nodded for him to continue. I saw that many of the people who worked for us only had a felt draped over their bodies, and they were all blue from the cold, shivering. When Old Doctor Sun heard this, he raised his hand and stopped Li Deyi's next words.

"There are still soldiers in our Weibei Battalion who have not been given cotton clothes for the winter, not because the division will not give them them, but because they really can't buy enough cotton, so they can only get more clothes to wear." Li Deyi was surprised and said, "Aren't we quite rich now, Master?" Can't buy it? Old Medical Officer Sun nodded patiently, and then explained to his apprentice: "This kind of thing is cotton, which was a crop that was planted in the world at the beginning of the Ping Zhou Dynasty. But now the rich have thousands of acres of fertile land, and the poor have no place to stand. In our northwest borderland, the small people and small households have finally a little bit of piecemeal, and they all grow food that is not enough to eat, how can there be extra idle land to grow cotton. As for the large families north of Zhongshen City, they have basically been looted by the Tuliao people over the years. The rest of the wealthy families all built dock forts and guarded them closely, not interacting with the outside world at all, just hoping to protect themselves under the iron hooves of the Tuliao people. Nowadays, only cotton is still sold in the southeast, and cotton is in short supply here. Li nodded slightly, "I see." He looked down and thought for a while, looked up at the master and said: "Master, now we have so much land, is it ...... next year" The old doctor Sun said: "It's difficult, so far I haven't found an old farmer who is good at planting cotton, cotton is a thing, if there is no skilled old farmer to guide it, I'm afraid it is not so easy to plant, as far as the teacher knows, cotton is very troublesome to grow, and laymen blindly plant it, and it will not produce cotton, and it must be personally guided by experienced people." ”

Li Deyi thought for a while, and said to the old doctor Sun: "Master, we don't have anyone here who knows how to grow cotton, do you say that Xijingluo has it?" Old Medical Officer Sun glanced at his apprentice approvingly, and said, "What you said is right, after the master and General Han have discussed, you can send him to Luodu again before the year to see if he can get some cotton back." Li Deyi hurriedly said: "Master, not only do you have to get cotton back, but you also have to have someone." If we didn't have the old farmers who knew how to handle cotton, we would have to buy cotton every year, which is not a problem, we have to find a way to solve it ourselves. When the old doctor Sun heard his apprentice say this, he touched his beard and groaned for a while, and said: "What you said is very reasonable, now that the imperial court has collapsed, although our Weibei camp has no clamps from above, everything can only be done by itself." In the next step, if we want to expand the army and protect ourselves, we must recruit some useful craftsmen of all kinds. The priority is not only cotton, but also iron. You go on a trip for the teacher, go and gather a few generals and your senior brother to come, we have to carefully calculate this matter. "Yes, I'll go now." Li De ran out as soon as he spread his legs.

After a while, everyone was called to Old Medical Officer Sun. As soon as the old doctor Sun told everyone about the situation, several generals nodded and said that this was a big problem. Mr. Han patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, old Han, I will go to Xijing this time, even if I tie up, I will also tie up a few craftsmen." Li Deyi hurriedly stepped forward and interjected: "It's better not to use force, we can persuade each other with good words, just say that the reward we give here is high, for example, the reward can be up to 100 coins, and the old farmers who can grow cotton will also be paid silver every month, according to the treatment of veterans, ten coins a month!" Mr. Li said, "Will you give too much?" Li Deyi shook his head and said: "Not much, not much, if we want to expand the army in the Weibei Battalion, we can't do it without these craftsmen." We can't make our own swords and armors now, so do we have to keep buying swords and armors from Xijing? That would be equivalent to holding our lifeblood in the hands of others. If we want to protect ourselves, we must master these things by ourselves. Li Deyi finally made a summary with an oath.

Old Doctor Sun nodded and said, "I don't think you here want to live that kind of life of being restrained by others anymore." Mr. Qian opened his mouth and said: "Now that the imperial court is gone, this is indeed an opportunity for our Weibei camp to protect itself." In this land, there is no one who can fight more than us, and we are the biggest one in this land. As he spoke, he flashed his fist, "If we can produce our own swords, armor, grain, and cotton, we can completely get rid of the clamps of others, and we will have the final say in this land in the future." Strategist, Lao Li, Lao Han, we are all old, and the world is in chaos outside, and when the time comes, the war will break out, you don't want to go out to fight all over the world when you are old, right? We have to run a nest and live out our old age in peace. Now the young generation of our Weibeiying, the little medical officer and the little medical officer can also resist the beam, and we are also regarded as successors, it's time to manage it well. ”

Mr. Li nodded and said: "Old Qian, you are right, I haven't been in the first place in the past few years, it's not that I'm afraid of death, but since that injury, this body is indeed getting worse day by day." It's time for us to plan for the future. General Han nodded and said: "This land was saved from the hooves of the Tuliao people by the soldiers of our Weibei Battalion who fought with their lives. We must find a way to defend it, guard it well, let the living soldiers live a good life, and we must not let the blood of those dead soldiers be shed in vain and their lives will be lost in vain. This trip to Los Angeles seems to be a big task, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to make the trip on my own, and I must have someone to help me. ”

As soon as Li Deyi wanted to step forward to recommend himself, he was stopped by Medical Officer Xiao Liu, "Senior brother, you have fought many battles, and your qi and blood have suffered a big loss, not to mention that your current realm is still unstable, during this time, you should practice the original qi at home, so don't go out." Besides, those children need you to teach them now, so I'll go this time. Li De opened his mouth and pondered for a moment what the senior brother said was right, "Well, senior brother and I are waiting for your good news at home, but you can get some skilled craftsmen back." The old doctor nodded and said, "Without further ado, you will set off tomorrow morning and come back before the year. ”

Seeing everyone leave and go back to prepare for related matters, Li Deyi deliberately fell last, and when everyone left, he opened his mouth and asked, "Master, can I take the 'Four Eyes' back and raise them for a few days?" Old Doctor Sun coughed and said, "Take it back, it's also big now, and it's all over the place every day, and I'm worried that the teacher has no time to discipline it." After receiving the master's consent, Li Deyi happily waved at the four eyes, "Go, four eyes, follow me to eat and drink spicy food in the future!" ”

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Li Deyi took it back, turned to Old Doctor Sun and said, "Master, there is something I want to discuss with you." ”
