Chapter 19: The moon is dark and the wind is high

Hearing General Han's question, Li De opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and his mouth was empty for a long time, and Li Deyi said in a low voice: "Those 'two-legged sheep', no, no, those who were arrested......" Han asked in a low voice: "What, look poor and want to save them?" ”

With a long sigh, Li Deyi said slowly: "I want to save them, but I have thought of several ways, but none of them can save them and send them back to us safely." Hearing this, General Han looked Li Deyi up and down carefully with surprised eyes, and said after a long time: "When my old Han was so old, he was just a fool with two snots, you can think of so much." Okay, it is worthy of being Sun Junshi's apprentice. After saying these words, he didn't come up with an idea for a long time.

Li Deyi lowered his head, took a finger and pulled it on the ground, raised his head for a long time and asked Mr. Han: "Mr. Han, you have experienced a lot and seen a lot, what can you do?" Han Jiang always stretched out his hand to touch Li Deyi's head, stretched it out in the air and stopped, withdrew his hand curtly, frowned and said: "No trick, but I can tell you that last year, the Tuliao people entered the Kou and captured a lot of people, and now almost every tribe has a batch of 'two-legged sheep'." Even if you can save these people, can you save those of the other tribes? You have to think of a trick to do this, and you can't mess around. Li Deyi nodded seriously, but he couldn't think of any good way for a while, his little brain was hanging down, and his whole body was full of uncomfortable energy.

Seeing this, Mr. Han sighed and said: "Old Han, I will be a soldier when I grow up, and I have been killing people all my life, except for the ability to first aid on the battlefield, I really haven't learned any other ways to save people." I don't have a trick to do this. But I'm thinking that your master, Sun Junshi, can come up with a move, so you can go back and ask. ”

Li Deyi slapped his head suddenly, his emotions also rose, and he hurriedly said, "I'll rush back." As he spoke, he got up and walked out. Just about to go out, he was dragged by Mr. Han, "Don't be frizzy, you help me bring a few words back, just say that we still have to go to the two Tuliao tribes to investigate, and we must wait for us to go back before acting." I estimate that the long will be fifteen or sixteen days, and the short will be five or six days, and we will rush back. ”

"I remember, Han General, don't worry, I will definitely bring the words." Agreeing in his mouth, Li Deyi was about to go out again, but Han stopped him and then ordered: "Slow, you can't ride a horse when you go back this time, there are only twelve pack horses we brought, and one less Tuliao is easy to notice." Besides, do you know the way back, it's already dark outside, can you find your way? Come here with your ears and I'll tell you. Li De leaned his head over, and after listening to this whisper, his eyes rolled back and forth and pondered for a long time, and he gritted his teeth, "I'll try that mule again." Then he turned and went out, and ran straight to the mule.

Halfway through, Li Deyi folded to Wang Zhuangbiao again, this time Wang Da Fat Man hadn't finished eating, he was taking out the half of the cooked wolf that he had eaten yesterday and pinching it with both hands, holding the wolf's head and gnawing his mouth full of oil. "Brother Wang, do you still have fragrant meat that you have remediated yourself, give me a few pieces, I will be useful."

Wang Zhuangbiao turned his head to stare at Li Deyi, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, don't give up, you want to continue to win over that mule?" Okay, it's very tenacious, the Sprinkle family likes dolls like you, come, give you a few more. Eat some for yourself, and give the mule some more. Li Deyi took out a small knife, cut off a wolf leg and carried it on his shoulder, took a few pieces of Wang Zhuangbiao's special fragrant meat, and turned around and ran to the mule. Wang Zhuangbiao slapped his thigh in the back, "This greedy little doll also spares a wolf leg from the family." ”

Li had to look around for the mule, and finally found it outside the camp. It turned out that the mule never stayed with the horses, but only found a secluded place to stay by himself, and as soon as Li De approached, he knew that someone was coming. When he got closer, he smelled the smell of the special fragrant meat, and trotted two steps directly to Li Deyi, as if he had to rub his head against it.

Li Deyi handed over a piece of fragrant meat and said, "'Hummer', let's discuss, I have something important to go back to my master, and the old doctor Sun will discuss, you will carry me back." If you agree, I'll give you all these fragrant meats in my hand, don't you think? The mule pondered, actually snorted, and then rubbed Li Deyi with his body, which means that the uncle reluctantly agreed for the sake of these fragrant meats.

Li was overjoyed, but he still remembered the lesson of the last time, and rode up slowly and cautiously, afraid that he would be tied by his stiff hair. After riding up and sitting firmly, Li Deyi spent a long time in the night, found the small mound on the other side of the river that he passed by, and said softly to the 'Humvee': "Go back there." "The 'Hummer' also seemed to know that he couldn't make a sound, and he stepped lightly on all four hooves, and took Li Deyi on his back under the cover of night, and quietly flew away.

After a while, he came to the Jinshui River, and Li De heard a loud sound of water flowing in the river, and the river seemed to be much higher than when he crossed the river during the day. I couldn't see clearly in the night, and I couldn't find a shallow place to cross the river in my eagerness. Li Deyi commanded the 'Humvee' to go upstream along the river for a while, but he did not find a place to cross the river, but he did not dare to go too far, for fear that he would take the wrong road after crossing the river, and he would not find a way back.

Thanks to geothermal energy, the river flows all year round without freezing in winter. However, because of the geothermal heat, the snow around the river melts much faster than other places, and the flood season of the Jinshui River also comes very early, and when the flood season comes, the river can often rise two or three feet in the blink of an eye overnight. Li Deyi didn't know the power of this river at this time.

After another detour, his head was sweating, and he didn't find the place to cross the river during the day, so Li De was ruthless and rode a 'Humvee' into the water regardless of it. During the day, the river, which was only fifteen or sixteen paces wide, had exploded and the current had become turbulent. Before he reached the center of the river, the water did not reach Li Deyi's waist. Moreover, as soon as Li De felt that the closer he got to the river, the stronger the current, and he had already begun to rush downstream.

Li Deyi's little face turned white with fright at this time, and no one could see him in the dark night, so he could only hold the neck of the 'Hummer' and hold the belly of the 'Hummer' tightly between his legs, so as not to let himself be swept down by the surging river. In the end, he only had time to say: "'Hummer' is all up to you." And he was submerged above his head by the river.

When the heterogeneous mule 'Hummer' heard this, he also knew that things were going to be bad, so he actually swam in the river with his hooves outstretched, and he looked very skillful in that way. The fox was originally a dragon species, his father was called 'Fire-eyed Foxy', presumably the ability in this water is not small, Lao Tzu is a hero, this 'Hummer' is really born to water.

The 'Hummer' struggled to swim in the water, and although he was carrying a man on his back, he was a half-grown child, and he did not sink much, and after a while he swam slowly through the middle of the river with a strong current, and slowly swam towards the opposite bank. Li Deyi was poured a few mouthfuls of river water in the middle of the river, and was blinded by several waves, and at this time he was lying on the back of the 'Humvee' unconscious, but with the last bit of spiritual sense, his hands were still holding the neck of the 'Hummer'.

When the general was about to reach the river bank three or five paces, the 'Humvee' also came to the momentum, and with all four hooves, he jumped up directly from the river and jumped onto the river bank with Li Deyi on his back. Meng Yi shook the river water off his body hard, and the "Hummer" carried Li Deyi to the small hill when he was speeding back and forth. At this time, Li Deyi also gradually took a few breaths, slowly relieved his strength, and was carried by the 'Humvee' again, and in the run, he vomited out the few mouthfuls of river water in his stomach, and the person slowly woke up. Li Deyi had already been soaked by the river water, and the night on the grassland in early spring was still bitterly cold, and he was shivering with cold on the back of the 'Humvee'.

When he arrived at the base of the small mound, Li Deyi ran up strongly, found the stones that Han Jiang said at the top of the mound, and pointed out the direction of the stones, and spent a long time in the night, about finding the tip of Qingyuan Mountain, and after a long time, he confirmed the direction in his heart. Remembering the direction, Li De turned around and hurriedly ran under the mound, and when he got to the bottom, he was about to ride the 'Humvee', when he suddenly felt a tremor in his arms, and then he remembered that he still had a little wolf cub in his arms, and he reached out and took out the little wolf cub, and took it to his eyes to look at it carefully.

The little wolf cub hadn't opened his eyes yet, but the cold river water was so agitated, and he was hungry without milk for a long time, so he actually opened his eyes. Li Deyi looked at the little wolf cub, thought for a long time, took off the wolf leg on his back, took a bite, chewed it into minced meat in his mouth, spit it on his hand and fed it to the little wolf cub's mouth, and fed it more than a dozen mouthfuls in a row.

Li De said wholeheartedly: This is also a motherless cub, similar to me. He took the little wolf cub into his arms, turned over and rode on the "Humvee", patted him lightly on the neck with his hand, and motioned him to speed up and hurry back.

At dawn, Li Deyi finally rushed to the edge of the woods at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain, and along the path opened up a year ago, one person and one mule quickly entered the mountain. After running for another half a day, I finally saw the low city wall of Dingbei County at the end of my sight. Li Deyi happily slapped the "Hummer", and the "Hummer" understood and accelerated towards Dingbei County.

Before the soldiers in charge of guarding the city gate could stop it, Li Deyi rode through the city gate at high speed on a mule. The two soldiers guarding the city gate were ashen, and one of them, Guo San, shouted hatefully: "Who is this?" It's so fast to ride a mule, and I'm in a hurry to be reincarnated. The man named Zhang Tiedan next to him hurriedly came over and covered his mouth, "Be quiet, don't you see that it's the mule uncle!" Guo San's eyes suddenly widened, and he lowered his voice and said, "Is it really that mule uncle?" Who is so capable to ride him so fast? Zhang Tiedan said: "I didn't see it clearly, I looked like a half-old child riding." The two soldiers defending the city shook their heads, and with the doubts in their hearts, they went back and stood guard again.

Li Deyi rode a mule all the way into the Weibei camp gate, shouting: "I have something urgent to see Sun Junshi!" "In a hurry, I can't care about calling Master. The soldiers guarding the camp gate were about to block it, but when they saw the mule under Li Deyi's crotch, they got out of the way one after another, and Li Deyi rode the mule directly to the wounded barracks.

Doctor Liu heard the movement outside, walked out of the tent, and when he saw that it was his junior brother Li Deyi who had returned, he was first taken aback, and then saw the mule he was riding under his crotch, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, his face full of disbelief. Li Deyi rode the 'Humvee' straight in front of Dr. Xiao Liu, and the 'Humvee' also knew that it had reached the ground, so he slowed down and stopped. Li Deyi directly turned over and got off the mule, but he couldn't even stand on his feet as soon as he landed, and fell to the ground with a weak leg. Medical Officer Xiao Liu stepped forward to help Li Deyi and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Li De glanced back at the 'Hummer' uncle, and Dr. Liu immediately understood. The mule had no saddle or bridle on it at all. Li Deyi rode back naked, he was in a hurry, he didn't feel it, but when he returned home, his body and mind relaxed, and he felt that his cheeks seemed to be turned into eight petals, and the bones in his body seemed to be scattered. Doctor Xiao Liu grinned and laughed: "You dare to ride this mule, his mule temper, coupled with an invulnerable hard hair, you ...... Hahahaha. Li De opened his mouth, and he was embarrassed to say something in his heart, "I can ride him back like this, or I can discuss it with some fragrant meat." ”

Helping Li Deyi into the tent, Dr. Liu said: "I see that your face is blue and weak, I am afraid that you will rush back all the way and suffer from the cold." Li De nodded and told how he had crossed the Jinshui River. Doctor Xiao Liu's face changed at that time, and he said loudly: "How can you take such a risk, if something happens to you, the vast grassland, the corpse will not be found!" As he spoke, he turned around and brought a pill and forced Li Deyi to take it, and hurriedly went out to call the master to check Li Deyi's body.

Old Medical Officer Sun was forcibly dragged over by his apprentice, and was about to nag a few words, when he saw Li Deyi's face, the old man was also startled, and he didn't care about reprimanding, so he directly asked Medical Officer Xiao Liu to boil the hot soup to ward off the cold, and ordered to cook a big bowl of steaming mutton soup. After Li Deyi ate this bowl of mutton soup, Li De's eyelids couldn't stop fighting, and he sat there and fell asleep after a while. Only then did Old Medical Officer Sun begin to ask what happened to Medical Officer Xiao Liu.

Doctor Xiao Liu didn't know, only said that Li De had crossed the Jinshui River overnight and came back after a day and night, and the rest could only wait for Li De to wake up and make it clear. This sleep lasted until midnight, and Li Deyi woke up, only to feel dizzy and feverish, although covered with a quilt, his whole body still felt cold and abnormal. When I opened my eyes, I saw Dr. Xiao Liu sitting next to the oil lamp, dozing off with his head in one hand. Li had to pour a bowl of water and drink it before he felt more comfortable. When Dr. Liu heard the movement, he saw that his junior brother had woken up, and he didn't care that it was already midnight at this time, so he hurriedly ran out and called his master over.

When the old medical officer Sun saw that Li Deyi could go to the ground, his heart also fell to the ground, and he asked, "What's wrong, rushing back in such a hurry?" Li Deyi told him what had happened on the grassland in the past few days, and after listening to it, Old Doctor Sun fell silent, and Little Doctor Liu pursed his lips and did not speak.

After a long time, the old doctor Sun said: "It is not difficult to save people, and we will do it when we kill them." How to resettle people after they are rescued is the problem. Unexpectedly, Li Deyi actually said directly: "There are only three of our masters and apprentices in our wounded barracks, and there are not enough manpower." Let those women follow us to the wounded barracks. Old Medical Officer Sun nodded, "This is also a way, according to what you said, I don't estimate that there will be a lot of people, but we can arrange the wounded barracks." It's late tonight, kid, you rest first, and wait for tomorrow as the teacher and Li and Qian to discuss this matter in detail. ”

In the early morning of the second day, as soon as Li De opened his eyes, he rushed to Dr. Sun's place, but when he arrived at the door, he was blocked by Dr. Liu. Xiao Liu said with a straight face: "Go back and do a good job in the morning class of cultivating the original qi, if you don't practice your skills, you can't save anyone." Li Deyi was also obedient, turned his head and walked back, patiently, and finished a complete set of morning classes.

In the tent, the old doctor Sun said to the apprentice: "Well, at this time, you can still be honest and obedient, and you can do the most important thing first, which is good." Doctor Xiao Liu pouted beside him and said, "Master, the wicked have all made me a senior brother, will the junior brother hate me in the future?" Old Doctor Sun twisted his beard with one hand and said with a smile: "No, although your junior brother is used to it from Xiaoye, he is simple in nature, you see that he didn't care about his own safety and rushed back overnight just to save those 'two-legged sheep'." I know that he has a generous heart, and he will not be such a narrow-minded person. ”

As soon as Li De finished repairing his original qi and ate breakfast again, he went back and forth in his small tent, waiting for someone outside to call him to the staff camp. After half an hour, Dr. Xiao Liu came over and said, "Senior brother, let's go." Li Deyi followed his senior brother and walked towards the staff camp, and on the way, he tried to urge his senior brother to hurry up several times, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. Medical Officer Xiao Liu took Li Deyi to the staff camp unhurriedly.

When I entered the door, there was only Dr. Sun alone, and the two generals didn't come. Old Medical Officer Sun raised his hand and beckoned Li Deyi to sit down, "Apprentice, for the teacher, I thought carefully about what you said last night, and now I have eyebrows ......" "Master, you said, I listen to that." Li Deyi couldn't wait to interrupt Old Doctor Sun's words.

Old Medical Officer Sun's words were interrupted by the disciples, knowing that he was anxious now, so he didn't care, and continued: "This thing of saving people, presumably Han Jiang will always do a good job. Han knows this person very well, although his face is light, but his heart is as careful as a hair. Since you have discussed it with him, although he did not agree immediately, he must be thinking hard about the good method in his heart, so that he can not only save people, but also successfully complete the task of investigating the military intelligence. ”

"At the moment, since we are in Dingbei County, we can't take care of the affairs on the grassland for the time being, so we can only try our best to do what we can do in front of us. After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that I should go to Qingyuan Mountain to build a camp, which was located on the side of the grassland in the north of the mountain forest. As he spoke, he beckoned Li Deyi to come to the sand table and pointed out the selected position for him.

Li Deyi looked down at the position chosen by the master on the sand table, and then looked up at the master, obviously not understanding the master's intentions. looked at the master with a blank eye, hoping that the old man would explain it clearly. Old Medical Officer Sun frowned, and said with a serious face: "For the teacher, think carefully about what you said last night. You said you rode the mule all the way to the fastest, and it took you a whole night and half a day to get back. For those women who were caught, the boys would not be able to ride horses, and after being rescued, they could only flee on foot. And because they are all half-grown children, they lack physical strength, and they can't walk fast, so that the Tuliao people don't have much strength to torture, and they are afraid that it will only take five or six days to walk from the grassland to our Dingbei County. ”

When Old Doctor Sun said this, he sighed, "At this time, it is very cold on the grassland, and those who were taken away were already frightened and anxious when they fled for their lives, and most of them did not dare to rest along the way. At that time, coupled with hunger and cold, I am afraid that half of the people will die on the way, and those who can barely escape back are afraid that they will also fall seriously ill, and I don't know how many will survive by then, I am afraid that it will only be 12 out of 10. As soon as Li De heard this, he realized how hasty the decision he made at that time was hot-headed, but fortunately, Han Jiang was always a steady person, and sent himself back to ask for help from the master.

Considering these things, the division discussed with the two generals overnight and decided to go to Qingyuan Mountain and set up a new village here. First, it can be used as an outpost to 'harvest and collect grain' on the grassland in the future. Second, we can temporarily accept these poor people who have escaped, let them rest for a while, eat a hot meal, and continue on their journey. "Old Doctor Sun laid out his plan to the apprentices one by one.

"Master, your old man is thoughtful." As soon as Li Deyi said this, he was embarrassed, his little face turned red, and he was ashamed of his previous inconsiderate actions. Seeing that the apprentice felt ashamed, the old doctor Sun comforted: "You don't have to be ashamed, it's rare that you, a half-grown child, can think of saving people, and can rush back overnight to report the news regardless of his own safety." With that, he reached out and gently touched the top of Li Deyi's head.

Li Deyi took the opportunity to say: "I also want to go to the mountains to help build a village." Doctor Xiao Liu interjected: "Let's talk for a while, General Li has already brought people into the mountain, and this matter should not be delayed." If you want to go, you are not in a hurry at this time, and besides, what can you do if you go? You galloped back overnight, and were caught in the wind and cold, and now your body is very consumed, if you don't take a break honestly, be careful of falling into the root of the disease in the future. ”

was forcibly left in the wounded barracks by his senior brother, and Li Deyi could only be honest and obedient. Doctor Xiao Liu taught him a little more method of running the original qi to check the condition of his body, and asked Li Deyi to try to use it. Seeing that Li Deyi ran two or three times without abnormality, Medical Officer Liu relieved himself and turned around to go about his own business.

Li Deyi ate and slept for a day, and when it came to the night, he did his routine homework, and quickly pushed all the original qi groups to finish cultivating the sea of knowledge, and then lay down directly on the bed without taking off his clothes, turning over and over but couldn't calm down, all he thought about was the tragic situation of the 'two-legged sheep' seen in the Tuliao tribe, and he couldn't even care about the severe headache.

Suddenly, one turned over and sat up, Li Deyi slapped himself on the head and said, "I remember." Jumping out of bed, against the dark night, rushed straight to the old doctor Sun.
