Chapter Ninety-Six: A Short Life of Happiness
Wuzhu did not break out of the encirclement, but his cronies mixed out, these people were strong in martial arts, vigorous in body, and hidden among the Yue soldiers, in the chaotic battle easily concealed the Qin army, and disappeared into the vast jungle over the mountain road in concealment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter the war, Yingxu did not find these fish that slipped through the net, and wholeheartedly strengthened the protection of the mountain road.
Since the Battle of Shanling Road, Wuzhu seems to have given up the idea of breaking through the siege, and began to build fortifications, dig ditches and build walls, and take wood and soil. Zhao Zhao also had no intention of attacking in a big way, so the two sides continued to fight in small battles, but there was no big war, and it seemed that they wanted to live in peace. But everyone on the battlefield knows that the next big war will be a life-or-death battle. Therefore, they all began to prepare cautiously.
Most of the wounded soldiers were transported to Ouren Village for resettlement, because Tong Cang was seriously ill Yingxu was responsible for the treatment of the wounded soldiers on his behalf, so Tongcang sent his 3,000 guards to Yingxu to dispatch. The leader of the team is a middle-aged captain named Cheng Jie, who has few words and is quick to do things, and after taking over the task, soldiers are arranged in the first important positions around Ouren Village. The rest of the soldiers were also stationed outside the stockade. Gong Wei Ouren Village safety. Ying Xu was very satisfied with Cheng Jie's arrangement, so he didn't interfere.
In the mountain ridge road, Wu He once told Ying Xu. Tong Cang is suffering from an old disease. He has no way to treat him, and now he can only use medicine to hang Tong Cang's life, but the symptoms are not cured, and he wants to live soon. Ying Xu understood what Wu He meant, which means that all the organs in Tong Cang's body are failing, and there is no cure. Obviously, Tong Cang also knew that he was short, so he sent the escort Cheng Jie so that they could take care of each other after getting acquainted with each other. Ying Xu understood Tong Cang's intentions, so he took more care of Cheng Jie, and asked Cheng Jie to discuss anything in the army to enhance the relationship between them.
There are some things that cannot be done by manpower, and Tong Cang's illness Ying Xu is powerless, so in other things, Ying Xu will do his best to help and share Tong Cang. At the same time, Ying Xu also understood that Zhao Zhao would do something to him sooner or later, and the two of them were already incompatible. Therefore, Yingxu continued to enhance his strength in the former army and win the hearts of the soldiers. lest Zhao Zhao find a reason to wipe him out in the future. So Yingxu also organized the Ou and Mushen people who were not incorporated into the army into miscellaneous servants according to the way of escort formation. Qingzhuang followed the Qin army to garrison the mountain road, and the others were stationed in Ouren Village, and the women and the elderly took care of the wounded soldiers, and he was also stationed in Ouren Village to take care of the wounded soldiers.
Visiting the wounded soldiers in the morning and taking people to hunt in the afternoon, Yingxu's life began to have a regularity. In general, there will be no more deaths in the wounded barracks, and the wounds of the wounded soldiers have begun to scar, and there are basically no suppuration and inflammation. This was also thanks to a witch in Ouren Village, when she held a water-soaked Houttuynia cordata and shook it around the wounds of the wounded soldiers, and her mouth was still babbling words. When Ying Xu saw it, he walked up to her with a smile and said kindly: "If you can tell Ben Gongzi where to pick these grasses, Ben Gongzi promises not to beat you." ”
So Yingxu took the Ouren boy to follow the goddess and found patches of Houttuynia cordata, comfrey, elm and other herbs on the mountain west of Ouren Village. At that time, Yingxu felt that he had found another treasure trove. After coming back, he wrote a letter to Xiao He of Huiji overnight, asking him to recruit a large number of medicine farmers and doctors to come to the upper reaches of the Oujiang River. At the same time, he asked Wu He to guide the Yue children to pick herbs, and he also arranged for the witch to preside over the matter of exchanging medicine for food, and one pound of polished rice was exchanged for three catties of herbs. In this way, not only the idle children are mobilized, but also a long-term and effective industrial chain can be formed.
Now Yingxu lacks almost everything except herbs, food, silver, silk brocade cloth. He will not let go of any opportunity to make money, as soon as he has free time, he will take the Ouren boy to hunt in the mountains, and the fierce Yingxu such as tigers and lions have no intention of letting go, not to mention the kind guys such as wild boars, hares, and pheasants. Ying Xu organized more than 1,000 Ouren teenagers into more than a dozen tuns, each with 81 people in each tun, each time aiming at a mountain, pulling ropes in the east, digging ditches and traps in the west and south, and driving away wild beasts from the other side with young men equipped with weapons and bows. Every time it comes, hundreds of wild beasts are killed.
In fact, people are very realistic, not to mention the teenagers, every day they will hunt thousands of prey, and after handing over two-thirds of Yingxu, the rest of Yingxu will be assigned to them, let them take home and deal with them themselves, and at the same time, they can exchange the prey with the army for polished rice, and they can also exchange these prey with Zhao Zhao's former army for other items, in short, these prey are all theirs at their disposal.
One of them was Ya, who was the fastest of the Ouren boys, and Yingxu appointed him as the tun chief, and his parents were killed by a rhinoceros during a hunt, leaving him with two younger brothers. The younger brothers are still young, the youngest is four years old, and the oldest is six years old. So the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother falls on his shoulders, and every day he comes back from hunting with Yingxu, he will carry a lot of prey, and then his younger brothers will be very happy, and they will keep screaming around him. And every time he saw his happy brothers, he admired even more the young boy who brought him food and pride. Childe seems to know everything and can do anything. Childe knew the habits of every beast, digging traps for wild boars and hunting elephants and rhinos near the water. In the past, the tribesmen would walk around when they saw these guys, and they would never dare to attack them. And Childe just took them to survey the water source in advance, and then instructed them to set up lassoes, dig pits, and arrange crossbows on the side, and then it won't be long before they can easily catch these big guys. Childe never missed, and no one was hurt.
Since the teenagers followed their sons, they would bring home big and small prey every day, and the parents saw that they were not scolding at will, and even began to discuss some things with them, and the younger siblings were also fed, and the adults in the village began to treat them as adults. It's not so casual when it comes to talking. It's something they've never felt before, it's a good feeling, and they want to live like this forever. They don't forget who the person who brought them that feeling this way was.
"Brother, do we still have meat today?" Seeing the youngest brother looking at the prey in the yard, the tooth asked hesitantly. Ya knew that children couldn't eat meat all the time, otherwise their bodies would not be able to stand it, so today he planned to exchange the prey for some polished rice, patted the silly little brother, and Ya carried the prey to the public hall for changing polished rice. After chatting for a while, it was Ya's turn, he put the prey on the left bamboo basket, and the old man who presided over the rice exchange would arrange for the soldiers to add polished rice to the sack on the right, until the two bamboo baskets were flat, and he could carry the sack and leave. This was what the other boys had told him, and that he thought it was fair, that they were all the same, and that he had a sack for white, and that he could use the sack to sew clothes for his brothers when the rice was dumped elsewhere. It gave him hope for life.
Now Yingxu is very idle, he asked the black man to take the Ouren teenagers to hunt, and let Zhang Feng take 1,500 soldiers such as Yu and Yu to garrison the mountain road. Let Shenmu take more than 200 miscellaneous servants to take care of the exchange of grain and grass, and let Wu He be in charge of the wounded barracks. And he himself was responsible for wandering leisurely in the Ouren Village. In just a few days, a small bazaar was formed outside the Ouren Village, and many Qin soldiers would exchange their captured money and Yingxu for cooked meat. Everyone, you and I are willing, and the transaction is very pleasant and enjoyable. And Zhao Zhao could only pinch his nose and recognize it.
Walking around and walking around Yingxu came to the outside of the village, the soldiers and generals who ate meat, the Ouren teenagers who exchanged goods, the Ouren women who sewed and washed clothes, and Chen Ping who looked east and west, and Wu Jian and Yuzi who watched from afar. On the tree next to them was a tiger rhubarb that had been caught by Heibo. The grass market is very small, and those who know each other chat, bargain loudly for buying and selling, and wander around casually without incident. Ying Xu really hopes that this kind of scene can continue forever. In fact, this is the life he wants in this day and age. But seeing the dust raised in the distance, Ying Xu knew that his wish would not be realized for many years.
