Chapter 945: Swinging
readx; Until he returned to the camp deep in the dense forest, Li Dingguo was still shivering with cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info White Pole Soldiers temporarily built some low shacks here with branches and leaves, although they could not completely block the rain, but they were better than nothing.
Ma Qianxue hurriedly carried Li Dingguo into the shack and sat down, and Li Dingguo could barely speak at this time: "Maybe I have suffered some cold... It doesn't matter..."
"It's all like this, and you have to be strong!" Ma Qianxue said angrily and distressedly, "Come on, quickly find a way to build a bonfire and let General Dingnan keep warm!" ”
"No!" Li Dingguo hurriedly said, "If you have a bonfire, you will be discovered by the rebels." Now the rebels don't know how many troops we have, and they won't easily deploy the whole army, we still have... Hold on for another day or two..."
"But I can't just watch you suffer!" Ma Qianxue walked back and forth twice anxiously, and suddenly had an idea, and said to several white-pole soldiers nearby, "You all come here, take off your wet clothes, hug General Li, and use your body temperature to warm him!" ”
As the daughter of Qin Liangyu, the Xuanfu envoy, Ma Qianxue has absolute authority among the white pole soldiers. As long as she gives an order, it is to make the white pole soldiers commit suicide on the spot, and these loyal soldiers will definitely not frown. Several soldiers immediately took off their wet clothes, and stripped off Li Dingguo's clothes as well, hugged him in the middle, and put him in the middle.
At this moment, although Li Dingguo felt dizzy in his brain, he was still blushing in front of Ma Qianxue, and said, "Thank you, Miss Ma, please... Please stay out of the way..."
"Who rarely looks at you!" Ma Qianxue was also ashamed to turn her back, but did not leave, but ordered her own soldiers to prepare dry food and water for Li Dingguo, and sent scouts to observe the movements of the rebels, and the rest of the soldiers seized the time to rest and arranged them in an orderly manner. Li Dingguo relaxed a little, and his body really felt a lot warmer, and after a while, he fell asleep in a daze.
After about half an hour, the sky gradually brightened. Ma Qianxue secretly glanced at Li Dingguo out of the corner of her eye, and saw that his complexion had turned from pale to ruddy, and she was relieved. Recalling the scene just now, I can't help but blush, cranky.
But after another moment, Li Dingguo suddenly groaned in pain: "Hot... It's hot! ”
Ma Qianxue was taken aback, hurriedly turned around and dragged away several white-pole soldiers, touched Li Dingguo's forehead with the back of her hand, and exclaimed, "It's so hot!" ”
At this time, Li Dingguo was already in a semi-comatose state, his originally white face was burned red, his breathing was very short, he reached out and grabbed Ma Qianxue's hand, and just shouted twice in a manic way, "Water, I want to drink cold water", and suddenly vomited violently, and the filth was spraying on Ma Qianxue's shoulder!
"Oh no, he's a swing!" Ma Qianxue was so anxious that she stomped her feet again and again, "What should I do?" This march was too hasty, and the army did not carry any medicine to treat the pendulum, so why don't you send him back to Wufeng Mountain as soon as possible! ”
"Miss, no." A pro-soldier hurriedly said, "Patients who play pendulum should only recuperate, and the most important thing is to avoid long-distance bumps and consume physical strength." There are still a hundred miles away from Wufeng Mountain, and General Dingnan is afraid that he will not be able to bear it..."
Li Dingguo also heard their conversation in a semi-coma, and groaned in pain: "Don't... I'm not going! I am the commander of the whole army, how can I retreat from the battle... It's okay, just hold it up and pass..."
"You think it's a minor illness!" Ma Qianxue couldn't help but reprimand Li Dingguo sharply, but tears were already flowing in her eyes, "We Yi people call this disease 'swing', but it is actually the malaria that you Han people say!" At the time of the attack, at first, you will feel cold all over your body, like falling into an ice cellar; After a while, it was hot and dry, like roasting by a charcoal fire. With such repeated attacks, the iron-beaten body also collapsed, and the time dragged on for a long time and even more worries about life! No, I'm going to have to find a cure for you right away! ”
After that, she ordered a few personal soldiers to continue to take care of Li Dingguo, and she led dozens of white pole soldiers deep into the dense forest to find a shrub called Artemisia annua.
In this era, medicine was underdeveloped, and Chinese medicine used herbs to treat diseases, and the Yi people were no exception. The climate in southern Sichuan, Guizhou and other places is humid, malaria is a common disease, the Yi people have been fighting against this malignant disease for thousands of years, and found that some plants have special effects on malaria, and Artemisia annua is one of the most common and effective.
However, the use of Artemisia annua is to cut the dry part of the ground, chop it and dry it, if it is wet, the medicinal effect is greatly reduced. Although there are a lot of yellow artemisia in the woods, it rained for a day yesterday, and all of them were wet, which was not suitable for use, so anxious that Ma Qianxue stomped her feet again and again.
Suddenly, she had an idea, and remembered that there was a stone cliff dozens of feet outside Bijie City, and there seemed to be a cave on the stone cliff. If there is yellow artemisia at the entrance of the cave, it may not be wet due to obstruction.
Thinking of this, Ma Qianxue immediately left everyone and ran wildly, and soon came to the bottom of the stone cliff. When I looked up, I saw that there was a patch of yellow artemisia growing at the mouth of the cave, which looked very dry.
Ma Qianxue was overjoyed, and immediately climbed up to help. This stone cliff is also the product of karst, like a mallet straight up and down, the cliff is more than ten zhang high, and it is impossible for others to climb at all.
But Ma Qianxue is like a flexible gecko, picking at the narrow stone crevices, or even a piece of unkempt grass growing on the cliff, climbing up little by little, and soon climbing to half of the stone cliff, and then going up a foot to reach the cave.
But at this moment, there was a sudden noise in Bijie City, and the city gate suddenly opened, killing dozens of rebels from it, and heading straight for the stone cliff!
It turned out that it was already dawn at this time, and Ma Qianxue had just begun to climb the stone cliff when she was discovered by the rebels at the head of the city. Although the rebels didn't know why Ma Qianxue climbed the stone cliff, seeing that she was alone and a woman, they wanted to take her prisoner, so they rushed out under the leadership of a small leader.
This little boss was really a little ghostly, thinking that this might be a trick by the officials and soldiers to lure the enemy, because the stone cliff and the dense forest were next to each other, and he couldn't figure out if there were any official and military ambushes in the forest. Therefore, when he ran to a distance of seven or eight feet from the stone cliff, he ordered his subordinates to stop, aimed at Ma Qianxue and fired his bow and arrows.
Ma Qianxue is deeply familiar with Qin Liangyu's martial arts, and if she is on flat ground, of course she will not be easily injured by dozens of little minions. But now she was hanging over the cliff, and it was very difficult to climb every step upward; The stone wall became smoother when it approached the entrance of the cave, and there was almost nowhere to start, and for a while Ma Qianxue was in a dilemma, and the first round of arrow rain had already crackled on the stone wall at her feet!
Seeing that Ma Qianxue was about to die under the arrow, suddenly an angry war horse neighed in the dense forest, and then killed like a whirlwind, and roared angrily with a silver spear on the horse: "The rats are looking for death!" ”
Ma Qianxue looked down and couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and shouted: "Li Dingguo!" ”
