22. The closest place to hell

The fleet of the Salt Gang is all nine zhang two four-car vehicles and boats loach boats, there can be eight people on the deck in parallel, there are three floors up and down, the top layer is the deck, the bottom layer is the boatman, the middle layer can be used for goods, and people can also be accommodated, and Li Yunhan lives in the top floor of the shipbuilding, in the Grand Canal, the fleet of the Salt Gang can be described as extremely luxurious!

Li Yunhan took this fleet to ride the wind and waves, and in less than three days, he crossed northern Jiangsu, less than 300 miles away from Taixian, and at this speed, it is estimated that it will arrive soon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, since he fought in northern Jiangsu, Li Yunhan found that something was wrong, it is said that the further south he goes, the closer he gets to the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, but this way, it seems that it is not the case at all, but the further south he goes, the more desolate he becomes, and there is even a smell of tension in the air.

"It's all caused by the war, I don't know why I fight, anyway, you beat me, I beat you, now he is the emperor, and tomorrow he will become a prisoner." Since Jia Wu got on the boat, he has been following Li Yunhan, Li Yunhan noticed that Jia Wu was wearing a gown outside, but he was wearing a soft armor inside, and when he encountered the wind and grass, Jia Wu would often unconsciously go to himself, these subtle movements made Li Yunhan quite moved.

At this time, along the canal embankment, a group of knights galloped wildly, and when they reached the flagship, the knights at the head took something out of their bosoms and threw it on the deck, and then rode away again.

Jia Wu shouted outside the door, "Is the scout coming?" ”

"Yes!" Answering outside the door, he immediately handed in a piece of paper tied with a stone, Jia Wu opened it and looked at it, immediately frowned, and then hurriedly handed the piece of paper to Li Yunhan.

"Master Li, look."

Li Yunhan took the note, read it carefully, and couldn't help but gasp.

"What to do? I'm afraid I won't be able to enter Jiangdu. Jiawu said.

Li Yunhan lowered his head and looked at the map for a long time, and then said slowly: "Let the fleet speed up, we must reach Jiangdu at noon tomorrow." ”

"Yes!" Jia Wu hugged his fists in response, and then went out to make arrangements.

After making up his mind, Li Yunhan carefully began to calculate on the map, and then he suddenly remembered the secret passage map given to him by Fourth Brother Feng, and hurriedly unfolded it to look at it, and when he saw the secret passage of Jiangdu, his brows stretched.

When the fleet received the order, the shipwrights immediately increased their horsepower and rushed all the way, and in the middle of the night, they approached Jiangdu City!

"Master Li, Jiang Du has arrived!" As soon as Li Yunhan closed his eyes, he was awakened by Jia Wu, he immediately put on his coat and went out, and as soon as he walked to the deck, he was shocked by the scene in front of him!

At this time, the Grand Canal was full of crowded boats of all kinds, and boats of different sizes docked at the wharf, and the wharf was overcrowded with refugees!

There's even a bunch of soldiers in the mix!

The torches lit around the pier lit the sky brightly, and the voices of people were boiling, some screaming, some crying, and some people did not hesitate to risk their lives in order to climb the ship to the north!

What's even more shocking is that the embankment is still crowded towards the wharf, so that those standing at the front of the wharf are squeezed into the canal from time to time! What a human tragedy!

The fleet of the salt gang crossed the wharf directly along the river channel channeled by the scout team before, and continued to move forward for five or six miles, stopping at a temporary wharf, which was originally the old wharf of Jiangdu, when the Qing Dynasty was in the Qing Dynasty, this wharf used to enter hundreds of ships a day, and later due to the Taiping army, after the Qing army recovered Jiangdu, the old wharf was abandoned, and the new wharf with a larger scale was used again.

The old wharf was very quiet at this time, but due to disrepair, it was extremely dilapidated, but fortunately, the scout team mobilized the local salt gang to repair it, and it was barely able to moor this huge fleet.

When Li Yunhan got off the ship, the scout team also arrived, the efficiency of the salt gang was very high, the scouts had already inquired about the location of the food, and more importantly, the scout team had brought the news of Dr. Nancy.

"The church where Dr. Nancy is located is in Jiangdu City, so, Jiawu, you take someone to load the grain on the ship immediately, and I will go to the church to bring Dr. Nancy back, it must be completed before dawn, understand?" Li Yunhan instructed Jia Wu, immediately led a horse from the scouts, and then galloped away to the church.

The grain warehouse is not far from the old wharf, and dozens of brothers from the Salt Gang have come this time, plus the people of the Jiangdu Salt Gang, the grain can be loaded into the ship in a few hours, and the most important thing now is to bring it back to Nancy.

Li Yunhan ran all the way, half an hour later, he went around the trail and went straight to the Jiangdu City, at this moment the Jiangdu City was in a panic, even the city gate guards on weekdays were gone, the refugees fled to the outside of the city in a crowded manner, Li Yunhan easily squeezed in, at this time, it was already the second half of the night, he didn't know where the church was, and he was about to find someone to ask for directions, but the sound of a bell suddenly came.

In the entire Jiangdu City, I am afraid that the only one with such a bell is the church, Li Yunhan immediately followed the sound to find it, and sure enough, in the north corner of the city, he found this large-scale Western-style church.

It's just that like this Jiangdu city, the entrance of the church is crowded, and there are some religious refugees lying and standing everywhere, who are dragging their families and even all their belongings, and huddle in the courtyard of the church.

"Excuse me, do you have a German doctor named Nancy here?" Li Yunhan found a man dressed in a priest's uniform, and he immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Oh, you look for Dr. Nancy, she's in there, but if you're looking for her, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a long time, Dr. Nancy is a very good doctor, she's so skilled, this is a refugee area, and a lot of people are waiting for her treatment." The priest talked a lot on the phone, and Li Yunhan didn't wait for him to continue, and then flashed into the church.

"Dr. Nancy!" As soon as Li Yunhan opened the door, he was greeted by a tall and wide church, with a high ceiling, huge glass windows showing great grandeur, many candles lit in the church, and rows of seats full of tired refugees.

"Shhhh Sir, you are not allowed to shout here, it will affect the rest of others. The priest followed and immediately stopped.

"I have a very important matter for Dr. Nancy, where the hell is she?" Time is of the essence, and Li Yunhan must find Nancy as soon as possible.

The priest shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "Dr. Nancy is a gospel to his followers from the Lord, so she is very busy, maybe where will she find medicine again, you know, the war has made medicine very scarce, and the medicine that Dr. Nancy brought with him has long been used up." ”

Li Yunhan didn't want to listen to this person's rambling anymore, but the entire church had an unobstructed view, and there was no one even wearing a white coat.

Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded: "Who are you?" ”

Li Yunhan turned his head violently, and a blonde and blue-eyed foreign girl appeared in front of him, the girl was very tall, wearing a smart gray dress, her eyes were big, and she looked at Li Yunhan with a flicker, but there seemed to be some anger.

"Oh, Dr. Nancy, this gentleman seems to be in a hurry with you." The priest hurriedly said.

"You're Dr. Nancy?" Li Yunhan stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, sir. Are you here to see a doctor or to pick up medicine? Nancy's eyes only glanced at Li Yunhan's face, and then immediately turned around and hurriedly walked towards the back of the church.

"I'm from Licheng, and Miss Feng Yunge asked me to come and pick you up." Li Yunhan followed and said.

"Oh?" Nancy stopped, turned to look at him, and hurried away again.

"I can't leave here now, because there are a lot of people here who need my help, maybe you can wait a few more days, oh my God, my memory, Priest Karl, can you help me bring in the medicine outside the door?" Nancy's Chinese is very good, and although she is in such a troubled world, she still maintains a fairly high level of literacy, and she still walks and speaks with grace.

"Oh God, the medicine was found?!" Priest Karl seemed excited, and immediately went out to fetch the medicine.

"But the war will soon reach Jiangdu, please leave here with me quickly." Li Yunhan emphasized again.

Hearing this, Nancy turned her head sharply and shouted at him: "Sir, although your business is very important, but these people in front of me need me more, if I have enough medicine, they will all get the treatment they deserve, instead of staying here and waiting for death!" Look at them, these are soldiers and civilians who have fled from the south, and they are all suffering from disease! ”

At this time, Li Yunhan noticed that in the church, the long row of chairs was moved to one side, and there were bunks on the ground in order, and on the floor were painful patients, a large part of them were soldiers wearing Beiyang military uniforms, the soldiers were covered in blood and pain, and it was strange that no one shouted.

"Why do those Chinese generals treat their people like this, are the lives of the Chinese so worthless?" Nancy seemed to be a little hysterical, and Li Yunhan even saw tears rolling in her eyes.

The scene in front of him has made Li Yunhan unable to say anything more, compared with Song Ni who is far away in Licheng, it is true that the scene here makes Nancy unable to get out.

At this time, Priest Karl came over with a box in his hand, and when he arrived in front of Nancy, he put the box on the ground and sighed, "Why is it so little, this is not enough at all." ”

"No way, these are still what those generals left behind when they evacuated, and that's all." Nancy covered her head with her hands, she had done her best, but for the current situation, it was still a drop in the bucket.

"Is it possible that you can get out of here as soon as possible with the medicine?" Li Yunhan said suddenly, and after speaking, Nancy smiled and said: "Of course, they don't need much skill, they just need life-saving medicines, especially anti-inflammatory drugs, with it, all the troubles are solved." ”

"So where are these medicines?" Li Yunhan asked.

"There is one in Taixing County, it is in the Taixing church, but now there is a war there, the county is surrounded, and no one can come out, let alone those medicines." Priest Karl shrugged his shoulders again and said helplessly.

"Okay, I'll find a way to get the medicine back, and then you can go back to Licheng with me, how about it?" Li Yunhan said firmly, Carl and Nancy listened, their eyes immediately widened, expressing disbelief, and even Nancy couldn't help shaking her head and said: "If this is the closest place to hell, then Taixing County is hell." ”

"Wait for me, I'll go get the medicine!" Li Yunhan turned around and left, leaving Carl and Nancy looking at each other.
