296 Your Fan Brother
With each additional day to the north, the wind and snow will become.
In order to maintain the speed of travel, Li Tong gave up the carriage and let the military doctor and the patient treat and recuperate in the carriage, while she let Bai Li Ye take her on horseback, and the thick cloak wrapped the two of them to warm each other, but it was not so painful.
Baili Ye wrapped Li Tong tightly, not even showing his eyes, Li Tong occasionally pulled down a little bit, looked at the scenery outside, in the vast world, it seemed that only they were moving forward.
It's a sight to behold.
Such days lasted for half a month, and the team finally saw the sun that had not been seen for a long time, and Bai Liye immediately decided to speed up the march, striving to find a leeward suitable place to camp before nightfall.
"I really didn't expect this snow to fall for so long." When Li Tong got off the horse, he only felt that the lower half of his body was not his own, and he was very sore.
She was hugged by Baili Ye.
I stood in place for a long time before I stomped my feet and moved.
"I didn't expect it, but luckily we started early, otherwise it might have been more difficult if it was a little bit later." Bai Li Ye helped Li Tong and walked slowly, restoring the blood flow in his lower limbs.
After Biyu and Lian Rui landed, they immediately took people out to inspect and came back not long after.
This time, Chiyi didn't hide in the dark, but changed his clothes and followed Li Tong, Biyang still didn't speak, and he couldn't tell whether he was loyal or not, but his one-handed knife technique was very useful.
Such a cold day is just right for eating hot pot.
Biyang was not unhappy at all, he cut the meat with a knife, and cut the meat slices evenly, which was impressive, and won the favor of many young men in the team, and Biyu was also pestering to learn.
But alas, he won't teach.
In the next few days, the weather was not bad, the wind and snow stopped temporarily, and a few who were in good health also had leisure and leisure with each other, and the atmosphere was very good along the way.
Since Li Tong was held by Bai Li Ye and rode a horse, he didn't want to take the carriage very much, there were still patients in the team, and the carriage was warm, so they all moved up, but fortunately, the carriage was relatively large, and a few more people could lie down if they were squeezed.
Bai Li Ye has been at the border for a long time, and often mingles with the soldiers, as long as it does not involve major matters, there is basically no fight, they thought that a daughter like Li Tong should have a big temper, but they didn't expect that there was no fight, and she was smiling when she spoke, which made people feel quite warm.
It didn't take long for someone to start saying that the general and his wife were naturally worthy of this, Li Tong heard it, and only smiled and added food to people, eh, she likes to hear this, I hope they will talk more.
Baili Ye couldn't do anything about her, but he also felt that they were right.
After that, it traveled non-stop for half a month, the weather was not cloudy or sunny, and occasionally a few snowflakes would float after nightfall, but fortunately, the road was still flat, and the road surface was not too much ice, but in order to prevent accidents, Baili Ye still let people wrap the horse's hooves in a soft cloth and try to walk more gently.
Originally, Li Tong was worried that there would be bandits blocking the road and robbing her, but when she looked back and saw the thousands of people following behind, she felt that her idea was simply stupid.
If there really is such a bold bandit, it is unlikely that he will be tough and rigid, and the only possibility is to use his hands and feet in the water, no matter what, he has to guard against it.
With so many supplies, who knows if someone will take the risk.
Li Tong specially instructed people to pay attention to the daily diet of the soldiers, and the person in charge of cooking must not leave half a step, beware of villains.
Bai Li Ye has no opinion on this, it is always good to prevent problems before they happen.
They were going well during this time, but it made him a little uneasy.
There are still people behind the team, he knows it, just like when he took Li Tong out before, he was always followed by people behind him, but every time he couldn't confirm whether it was friend or foe, only when he caught Qin Jiuyin, he knew that there was a group of people who were Qiu Zhongxiao's, but there was another group of people who never showed up.
This time, it's no exception.
But as long as they don't do it, Baili Ye can turn a blind eye.
"Shall we rest here today?"
Li Tong and Chiyi went outside for a walk, and when they came back, they saw Bai Liye sitting by the river in a daze, and not far away, the soldiers had already begun to camp.
"Coming back?" Bai Li Ye came back to his senses, pulled Li Tong over, touched her hand, it was a little cold, and covered it in his palm.
The place is wide, there is no shelter, the view is excellent, the nearest woods are not large, and it is difficult to hide people in it without being detected.
"Walked around, the weather is nice today, the snow has melted a lot, why don't you keep going?" Li Tong asked.
"There are a lot of brothers who have been sick recently, take advantage of the good weather today, let them have a good rest and set off tomorrow."
Li Tong nodded, the weather is good, and the person's body will recover faster than usual.
She also discovered that more and more people have been coughing recently, and in the era of backward medical development, a small wind chill was enough to kill people, but fortunately, they have not lost anyone yet.
Li Tong looked around, took Bai Li Ye's hand and leaned into his arms, looked up and touched his chin that began to grow stubble again, from a distance, their posture was ambiguous and affectionate.
"I noticed that someone was following us."
Bai Li Ye was enjoying it, and as soon as he heard Li Tong say this, he lowered his eyes.
"Leave it alone."
"Whose person could it be?"
"I don't know, but we've been walking for more than a month, and they haven't done it yet, which means that they may be their own people."
One month, enough for them to prepare a complete plan.
The materials have been shipped out, as long as they arrive at Hanyang according to the established route, even if something happens to Baili Ye at this time, someone in the team will stand up and continue to walk forward with people, and the task cannot be stopped.
They were all soldiers, and they knew that once they stopped, the people of Hanyang would suffer.
But Li Tong didn't believe it, why did his own people hide and dare not meet each other head-on?
There was always a strange feeling lingering in her heart, so that Li Tong went to bed at night with thoughts, and she couldn't sleep steadily, for fear that someone would open her tent and split her after falling asleep.
After that, there was no snow, and the sun shone on the snowdrifts, which was dazzlingly white, and Bai Li Ye made the soldiers cover their eyes with translucent gauze and slow down their march.
Li Tong was surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood.
It also snows at the border gates, and the snow is probably much worse than the current situation, and there must be a lot of snow blindness in the army, and this is all an experience gained in exchange for life.
Thinking about it like this, I feel very distressed, he has suffered too much, why can't God be kind to him?
Half a month later, the team finally saw the gate of Hanyang City.
The Hanyang County Commander, who got the news early in the morning, waited at the gate of the city with everyone in the government office tremblingly, and watched from afar as he approached, and said in his heart that it was impossible not to be excited.
Hanyang is located in a remote area, the soil is not suitable for planting cotton, the cotton planted is black and small, the cotton wool is broken, it is not enough to keep out the cold, fortunately, the imperial court sends troops here every year to send supplies, so that the people of Hanyang can barely survive the cold winter.
This year's snow fell very early and was very thick, and Hanyang County Ling Ye Mei was afraid that the imperial court would send someone late, so he handed over the urgent letter early, and the corners of his mouth were blistered.
Now that he saw people coming, he came earlier than he imagined, if it wasn't for the master to stop him, he would have to retain a little majesty in front of the people, and at this time he would have rushed up and hugged Baili Ye and cried.
Baili Ye!
The gods in the minds of the people of Qingqi actually escorted the supplies in person this time.
Ye Mei originally thought that the imperial court would send other officials to come, and every time those officials talked to him, they hinted that he would deduct something, but if Baili Ye came in person, then these materials would be used on the people ten out of ten.
How could he not be excited?
Bai Li Ye got off the horse with Li Tong in his arms, and when he saw Ye Mei staring at his shining eyes, he had no reason to feel palpitations in his heart, why did this county order look at him like this?
Li Tong also noticed a little problem, and leaned on Bai Li Ye and asked softly, "Are you a fan brother?" ”
"What?" Bai Liye didn't quite understand.
Li Tong thought for a moment and changed the word: "Worship you?" ”
"I don't know."
Although he replied so, looking at this excited look, it seemed to be the same as Xu Ling's eyes every time he looked at him, why was it a man every time he looked at him like this? It's so weird.
Baili Ye glanced at Li Tong beside him, why didn't his daughter-in-law look at him like this?
Although he was dissatisfied, for the sake of Ye Mei being also a parent official, Bai Li Ye didn't show his face, and Ye Mei only thought that his face was frozen by the wind and snow all the way, and he greeted people to go to the government office affectionately, as for the materials, people have been arranged to receive and resettle, and the next things will all be handed over to Ye Mei.
During the nearly two-month journey, they were either sleeping in a carriage or a tent, and so many people were exhausted, and they all fell down when they met the beds, and the snoring sounded one by one.
Baili Ye forced himself to say some polite words to Ye Mei, and also pulled Li Tong to make up for sleep, and everything was discussed when he was full of sleep.
By the time I woke up, it was already night.
Ye Mei didn't wake anyone up, but only told the kitchen to heat the food, no matter when they woke up, they could eat hot.
When Baili Ye got up, there was no one in the house, there were a lot of materials, and he couldn't get it down for a while, Ye Mei took people to count, Bai Li Ye didn't care about this, he went straight to the kitchen to eat, and when he came back, he saw Li Tong sitting on the bed stupidly wrapped in clothes, and the ignorant appearance that had just woken up greatly pleased Bai Li Ye.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Tong's voice was slightly hoarse, and he was still in a state where he had just woken up.
"Something to eat?" Bai Li Ye asked.
Li Tong nodded and slowly moved off the bed, even though a brazier had been placed in the room, and when he left the bed, Li Tong was still passively trembling.
Hanyang is really outrageously cold!
