Chapter 119: Love the People Like a Son

One day, the weather was just right, and Li Chengjing asked a few of them to go horseback riding in the suburbs together. After asking, Zou Baoer didn't know anything about riding a horse, and was about to get on Li Chengjing's horse to ride with her, but Li Chengjing didn't let her get on the horse, and asked her to ride with Duan Shaoling, which made Zou Baoer angry and ashamed.

"Bao'er, come to me, I'll teach you how to ride a horse."

Duan Shaoling had never invited himself so much, Zou Bao'er was happy in her heart, and she didn't annoy Li Chengjing. Duan Shaoling pulled her on the horse, sat in front of him, rode four people and three horses, and set off towards the suburbs.

They were just distracted, they didn't compete with their feet, and they rode slowly and leisurely. Duan Shaoling told Zou Bao'er the basic skills of horseback riding, Zou Bao'er could understand it after listening to it twice, Duan Shaoling handed her the reins and asked her to try it.

The horse was also quite docile, and after riding for a while, Zou Baoer found her senses, and she was riding for the rest of the year. After mastering the basic skills, Duan Shaoling also said some life-saving skills, and let Zou Baoer practice diligently on weekdays.

When they reached the outskirts, they saw that there were many tents in front of them. In the past few days that Duan Chen and the others have been in the army, Yu Ningzhou's troop deployment is also very clear, and they have not heard that there are still troops in this suburb, and they are not patrolled by soldiers, which is very strange.

Li Chengjing dismounted first, and the reins were tied to a tree. They also dismounted, only Zou Bao'er still seemed to be unsatisfied.

Without waiting for them to ask, Li Chengjing pointed ahead: "The camp tents here are all private, not military camps, so you haven't heard of it in the army." ”

They followed Li Chengjing and walked towards the private camp.

Even in the private camps, Li Qiyu managed the refugees who were displaced to Ningzhou in a centralized manner. The young and strong were conscripted into the army, and the camps were filled with old and weak women and children, unable to work and relying only on the relief of those in power. If those in power refuse to help, then they will have to resign themselves to fate.

"Miss." Li Chengjing occasionally came here, and the officers recognized her.

Li Chengjing smiled and asked, "Is the porridge in the pot cooked?" ”

"Almost, eldest lady, please."

A wooden porridge shed, with hot porridge boiling in a large pot on the stove.

An officer accompanied Li Chengjing and them in, and asked the cook, "The eldest lady asked you if the porridge was cooked?" ”

The cook stood up, his face blackened and red, beads of sweat on both sides of his cheeks, and he bent down and nodded, "It's ready to cook." ”

Li Chengjing walked to the stove, picked up the long spoon on the side, and checked the porridge in the pot. The chief on the side said: "Don't worry, the eldest lady loves the people like a son, and we will never dare to withhold the people's food." ”

Li Chengjing handed the long spoon to the cook and walked out.

After a while, the hot porridge came out of the pot, and there were several drawers of hot steamed buns next to it. As soon as the whistle sounded, the people in the camp came out one after another to line up, most of them were elderly, followed by women and children, some of whom were still holding babies in their arms. None of them scrambled to be the first in line, and there was an orderly line, and no one seemed to worry that they would not receive food because they were at the back of the line.

When they received the food, they all walked aside and enjoyed it with great satisfaction.

A baby's cry was suddenly heard in the crowd, and following the sound, a woman sat on a nearby stone, holding a baby in her arms. The woman put down the bowl and steamed bun in her hand, and held the baby back and forth with both hands, but the baby's crying did not stop for a moment, but became more miserable, as if suffering great pain.

The woman immediately got up and went up to the officer to tell her child that she was crying and asked him to see a doctor immediately. The officer did not refuse, and immediately said a few words to a soldier beside him, who nodded and immediately ran away.

Zou Baoer asked if they were taken care of for their three meals, so did they have someone to take care of their bodies? Li Chengjing told them that doctors and nurses would come to check their bodies regularly in the morning, noon and evening, but the child suddenly felt unwell and was not within the time specified by the doctor.

Zou Bao'er watched the child's crying incessantly, and waited for the soldier to call the doctor over, and it would take a while to do so. The woman watched the child cry and was at a loss, unable to do anything. Although I am only a nurse who sees trauma, I have been in school for a long time, and I have learned some common sense and know how to relieve the pain of children a little.

Li Chengjing watched Zou Bao'er walk forward, she didn't know what she was going to do, so she just walked over with her. Zou Bao'er walked up to the woman, told her that she was a nurse, and asked her to hold the baby for herself.

When the soldiers saw that the eldest lady came with her, they didn't come to stop her, and the woman didn't suspect it, anyway, she couldn't help it, so she put the child in Zou Bao'er's arms, and sure enough, Zou Bao'er hugged her for a while, and the baby's cry gradually became much quieter, and the woman was overjoyed and thanked her again and again.

Zou Bao'er asked, "Did this kid catch a cold last night?" ”

The woman sighed: "It has nothing to do with last night, my child was born frail and sickly, and he has been bumpy all the way from Wenqiong to here, and his body has long been weak, fortunately, the doctor here has come to see him for several days, otherwise I am afraid that he will not live long." When the woman spoke of the sore spot, she could not help crying, and when the mother wept, the baby began to cry again.

Zou Baoer hurriedly persuaded her not to cry, turned around and patted the baby's back again, and after a while, the baby's crying slowed down again.

Wen Qiong? Zou Bao'er said curiously: "Wen Qiong is in Central China, how did you come here from Wen Qiong in such a dignified manner?" ”

Before the woman could reply, an uncle on the side heard their conversation and interjected, "The girl doesn't know, a third of us here are from Central China." ”

Zou Bao'er was even more puzzled: "Isn't Yin Dashuai, who is in charge of China, not caring about your life or death?" ”

Another older man said: "It was Yin Jun's excesses and miscellaneous taxes that exploited us to the point of nothing." ”

Someone then resonated: "The big officials in Central China only care about their own happiness, and the lives of us ordinary people are as dispensable as ants on the ground in their eyes." ”

"If it weren't for Ningzhou's willingness to take us in, we would have to wait for death......" You and I have reached the point of excitement in every word.

Zou Bao'er had never experienced the pain of this kind of displacement, and at this moment, she sympathized with them, and she was even more disgusted with Yin Jun in their mouths. Let them go on and on, and fearing that they would disturb the baby, he comforted them a few words and told them not to think about the past.

Putting the baby back in the woman's arms and telling her how to pat him on the back when the baby cries again will ease the baby's pain. The woman thanked her again.

Duan Chen and the others stood aside and heard their conversation just now, and both of them also had a layer of confidence in their choice.

The two walked back, and Zou Bao'er said happily: "Chengjing, fortunately, your father doesn't treat the people like Yin Jun in their mouths, otherwise I would have been disgusted with you." ”

Li Chengjing smiled bitterly, "If that's the case, I won't dare to call you here." ”

A car drove up on the opposite side, a car from the military medical department.

The four of them didn't stay here anymore, and when they walked to the place where the horse was tied, Duan Shaoling suddenly said, "Chengjing, you specially brought us here today, do you have anything to say?" ”

Li Chengjing said: "There are spies in the southeast who have reported that the Yin army has been increasing its troops on the railway along the two armies in recent days, and it is approaching our army step by step. ”

Zou Bao'er exclaimed: "Is this going to war?" ”

Li Chengjing said: "The two armies will not face each other like this forever, this battle is inevitable, but once the war starts, it is these ordinary people who suffer." ”

Zou Bao'er said: "I've never seen you so pessimistic, are you worried that your Li family can't beat Yin Jun?" Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and Yin Jun doesn't even pay attention to the people under his rule. ”

Li Chengjing said: "It's not that you can't beat it, it's that you don't have the money to fight." No matter how brutal the Yin army is, the food and salary can be much richer than ours, unless we can win quickly, once the war is prolonged, it will be very unfavorable to our Li family. In addition to the abundant food and salary, the Yin army is also not to be underestimated, and the all-out war has not been more than a year, how can you tell the winner from the loser? ”

Duan Shaoling said: "Did you tell you what I mentioned to you last time, as long as the fundraising from all over the country can last for a year, our army will definitely be in an invincible position." ”

Li Chengjing glanced at Zou Bao'er, but still told the conversation between their father and daughter, omitting Zou Bao'er's part and not mentioning it.

Zou Bao'er smiled, "You guys are counting my father into it." ”

Li Chengjing said: "Bao'er, we are just talking about things, and we don't mean to slander your father." ”

Zou Bao'er said: "Chengjing, when I go home, I will tell my father what I have seen and heard here, and I will try to convince my father to let him take the lead in helping you." ”

"Thank you."

Zou Bao'er said: "I'm not doing this all because of you, it's for these suffering people, if you lose to the Yin family, after the Yin family unifies Central and Southern, the people really won't have a good life." Moreover, Yin Jun was so brutally exploited, it was difficult for our Zou family to be preserved at that time. ”

Zou Baoer just learned to ride a horse, and her skills were unbearable, and she rode back all the way. It's always because Duan Shaoling is behind her, otherwise Zou Bao'er just learned how to get started so quickly.

Li Chengjing picked a time to start teaching Zou Baoer how to ride a horse, and after she was quite skilled in horsemanship, she seriously taught her marksmanship again. Li Chengjing didn't have to go to the army, she had a lot of spare time, Zou Baoer learned quickly, the rise of teaching, and finally taught kung fu together.

Zou Bao'er is light and responsive, Li Chengjing focused on teaching her the art of self-defense, more than a month later, Zou Baoer still can't compare to their training from the military academy, but it is not what it used to be.

One night, a phone call broke the peace of the Marshal's Mansion, and even more so the peace of Ningzhou City.

The Yin army raided Gaoyang in the starry night, and Li Qiyu ordered the military camp to transfer divisions to support, and Chen Zui and Duan Shaoling were among them. As soon as the military ordered, he immediately packed his bags and prepared to set off.
