Chapter 224: Slap in the face
All the treatments were carried out in the open air, and the sun was not warm today, but it was cloudy, but they felt the warmth of their long-standing surroundings, probably because of Qi Shu's arrival.
Since Qi Shu assigned the affairs, he has been busy until the evening, and Siye began to climb into the twilight.
Following Ning Ze's direction, he saw small clusters of flames scattered all over the wilderness.
What is a picnic?
It's like the scene that Ning Ze sees now, it's like digging a stove in the open air now, and then finding all kinds of large and small washed pots for cooking rice.
The soldiers had washed all their clothes, and had drunk the potion that the doctor had asked them to make, saying that it was to prevent them from getting the plague, and each of them had a bowl. Everyone did not scramble, but drank the medicinal soup in an orderly manner.
After drinking the decoction, they happily prepared the meal, the prince said, when the county lord came back, they will eat together, tonight the husband fried a lot of vegetables, there is the prince and they brought meat, they can feast, and also gave a lot of jars of wine.
When Qi Shu came back, it was already completely dark, and he couldn't see his five fingers when he reached out in the dark, but the fire on the wilderness let Qi Shu know that Ning Ze and they were there.
Green Tangerine and Mo Zhu didn't follow her, it was too dangerous here, but Qi Shu didn't find any other servants, but took care of himself, and of course inevitably relied on Ning Ze to help.
Her wound felt like it was tearing open because she had been walking around for too long, and her back felt very hot, as if blood had soaked her clothes.
But the laceration of the wound was not at all as irritating as she saw.
It's really digging a pit to bury people, it's a big pit, but it's not a pit anymore, I don't know when it has become a pond, and she doesn't know where this water comes from.
There were rotting corpses in the pond, and when Qi Shu stood there, it was just before noon, and he saw that there were already lying corpses lying on their stomachs in the middle of the pond or on the edge or there.
One or two of them had already crawled out of the pit, Qi Shu was sure. The flesh on their faces had fallen off, maggots were surging in and out of his eyes, and the soldiers tried to stab them back into the pool with sticks, but as soon as they touched the corpses, the flesh was scattered, and all the intestines were exposed, and all the disgusting things in the organs came out.
Qi Shu looked at it for a while, only to feel bursts of vomiting coming up, frowning and trying to suppress these feelings, but he still couldn't resist the overturning of his heart, turned his head and vomited violently, wow.
Although the soldiers who followed Qi Shulai did not mean to make fun of her in the slightest, they also felt a little funny. But then I thought that it was their brothers lying in this pond, and I suddenly felt that I shouldn't laugh at all, and on such an occasion, I couldn't help but hurriedly solemnize my expression.
There is water in it, and it is unrealistic to burn it, so you can only dig the earth and bury it.
"Why didn't you fill in the pit and let the dead be buried in the ground?" After Qi Shu finished vomiting and calmed down for a long time, he said with a little frown. Seeing these corpses, she was very unbearable and even a little timid.
"Forgive me, the county lord forgives me, there are people dying in the army every day, and we will transport the corpses every day, so it is very inconvenient to dig the pit every time, and the military doctor also asks us to minimize contact with people who have the epidemic, the pit is dug a little far, so we simply don't bury it, and every time we put them here and leave."
It was excusable, and it was indeed a last resort, because she didn't think it through.
"Now let's start burying them, if there are any more sacrifices, find another place to bury them, the dead are greater." Qi Shu nodded at them.
When they arrived, they had already put on the same armor they wore when they were cooking the dead, so the soldiers let go of their hands and feet and began to dig and bury the earth around the pit.
Qi Shu didn't blink again or move his gaze throughout the whole process, but stared at the dead man's pit in front of him seriously and deeply. There was an indescribable solemnity on his face.
Fang knot, Fang knot, because of how many people have you hurt because of your hesitation, do you really have no waves in your heart? Why can you watch your soldiers die? It's all human life! It's all human life!
Qi Shu closed her eyes, a day had passed since she arrived here, but Fang Jie still hadn't appeared, she didn't know whether he was dead or alive now.
"Where's your General Fang??" Qi Shu walked over to the nearest soldier to her and asked.
"General Fang is in a military tent on the high slope over there, and he doesn't live with us." The soldier who spoke was a little immature, and he didn't think it was too old.
"Why?" As a general, Fang Jie has already set an extremely bad example, first leaving behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and now leaving behind his own army? Qi Shu felt a little incredible.
"The general is afraid that we will pass the plague on him." The little soldier said again.
Qi Shu sneered, he really hid far away, but he didn't know what Fang Jie looked like on the battlefield when he was in the frontier Tiangao, and he thought that he was extremely brave, but now that he thinks about it, thirty people will be alone or come back and become a general, I'm afraid it is not like now, hiding far away.
It's ridiculous!
"Let's go back."
It's getting dark, and it's almost time to go back, Qi Shu looked at the pit and didn't know what happened to Ning Ze.
The soldier wanted to ask if he wanted to call the general over to the county lord, since the county lord had already mentioned it.
But I didn't expect the county lord to say anything halfway through, so he didn't continue to say anything, but it was true that General Fang was really hard to say, alas, he still didn't say anything.
After taking care of the matter, the soldiers returned to the garrison with Qi Shu.
The little fire at the station made the soldiers very nervous, could it be that the station was on fire? Thinking of this, the soldiers were so busy that they wanted to rush over.
But Qi Shu opened his mouth to stop them.
"If it's out of the water, will it be so scattered? It must have all burned to pieces, and they were cooking over a fire. ”
Huh? Do you make a fire for cooking? But the guy never dared to attract attention with such fanfare.
"No one in the vicinity dares to come." In the land of plagues, isn't it true that whoever wants to run here is not looking for death?
Hearing Qi Shu say this, the soldier who was still a little worried and impulsive and wanted to rush over stopped rushing, and followed Qi Shu, who was walking slowly, to approach the station.
Is my daughter's house walking so slow? The soldiers couldn't help but secretly wonder in their hearts, they were all half-sized young men who had not married their daughters-in-law, and they had never even touched the girl's hand on weekdays, so where could they know what path the girl was taking.
As everyone knows, Qi Shu walked extremely slowly because the wound on his back was torn open, and because of the pain.
Ning Ze cooked the porridge himself, although he didn't know if he cooked it well or not, but Qi Shu would definitely sell him a face to drink the porridge she made.
There is no way, he feels like he can't do anything except cook porridge, and as for the seasoned side dishes, it seems that he brought some, so he immediately went to find out and see it.
After waiting for a while, when the soldiers guided Qi Shu to find Ning Ze, Ning Ze happened to be rummaging through the side dishes in his package, and he remembered that Ming Mingfuda had filled him with some sweet and crunchy dried radish, which she loved to eat.
"Lord Wang." Qi Shu shouted lightly, and Ning Ze, who was concentrating on rummaging through things, subconsciously raised his head when he heard someone shouting him, and when he saw that it was Qi Shu, a good-looking smile suddenly appeared on his face.
The soldier brought a bright lantern and happened to be standing behind Qi Shu, and after Ning Ze saw it clearly, the smile on his face suddenly froze......
Fang Jie came out of the military tent and looked at the dotted fires not far away, he couldn't help but be a little curious, it stands to reason that Adjutant General Yan Jun would come over every day to report to him about the affairs of the army, but why didn't he come today?
It's weird.
But if Fang Jie went to the station to see, he would be a little afraid to do it, but if something really happened to the station, it would have nothing to do with him, so should he go or not?
In fact, he is not afraid of things, mainly because he is afraid that he will get sick, and he is not unwilling to deal with the affairs of Guangchuan County, but doesn't he still have to follow the assignment of the imperial court? It wasn't something he could decide, either.
So it looks like he's standing up too, isn't he?
Desperately trying to find a reason for himself in his heart, Fang Jie was extremely hopeful that it would be good if those fires were extinguished automatically, but every time he looked at it every once in a while, he found that it was not extinguished, and he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
In the end, after waiting for a while, he couldn't wait any longer, Fang Jie finally decided to stay closer, and if it wasn't for the fire, he would come back.
So, Fang Jie, who hadn't come down from that high slope for a long time, finally came down because he was worried that the station would catch fire.
When Fang Jie hesitated to approach, the person who didn't want to be watched immediately found out. This was specially arranged by Ning Ze, just in case someone broke in. Sure enough, isn't this just a catch?
After the person who was watching gave the signal, a bunch of people popped up around him in an instant, and Fang Jie was shocked.
Since it was an outsider who suddenly broke in, Fang Jie was quickly taken to a place with a fire to identify, it was normal for them not to see who it was because of the night, but when they walked to a brightly lit place, they could see who this person was.
It turned out to be the one who hadn't seen General Fang Jie all day, the one in charge of this garrison.
"General! How did you get here? Yan Jun never left, he was always by everyone's side, and the one who was watching suddenly found that there was a situation Yan Jun naturally would not miss it.
"Yan Jun!? What the hell is going on? Why is it that the station is a fire point here? Didn't you say that the garrison should be hidden at night? Who are you trying to bring in? ”
"General, listen to me, it's ......" Yan Jun hadn't been able to explain clearly, and suddenly found that Fang Jie's eyes widened and he looked in the direction behind him.
"Shu'er? What are you doing here?! Fang Jie's face suddenly flashed with ecstasy, but then it quickly dimmed, because it was not only Qi Shu who came out, but also Ning Ze.
Why is Ning Ze here again?
If Qi Shu came, he would only think that the letter he wrote to her had worked, and she was worried about his situation, so she followed it personally, and it wasn't too good, Fang Jie's mind was already flashing with affection, and the two of them were together.
"Lord Wang." Seeing Ning Ze, Fang Jie shouted without being salty.
"General, King Guanghan and I came here to take over the affairs of Guangchuan County on the orders of His Majesty, and I ask the general to cooperate." Qi Shu looked at Fang Jie and said in a very flat tone, the light and shadow of the lantern were flickering and flickering, and her expression was also dark and uncertain.
The same reaction as most people, as soon as he heard that Qi Shu was ordered to perform official duties, he couldn't help frowning, for Fang Jie, Qi Shu's role was to act as his behind-the-scenes military advisor, not to come out to wipe his face.
"Lord Wang, is this true? Is there a certificate? Subconsciously, Fang Jie did not answer Qi Shu's words, but turned to ask Ning Ze.
Ning Ze had already known that if Fang Jie heard the news, he would definitely have this reaction, so he was also ready in advance, and he took out something from his arms without hurrying, and then shook it in front of Fang Jie.
I don't know why, Qi Shu felt inexplicably a little funny, it was normal not to believe her according to Fang Jie's temperament, but she was not in a hurry, but Ning Ze made the first move.
"There is His Majesty's seal on it, and when this matter is settled, the general will return to Shaoliang with us to restore his life." Qi Shu is talking about revenge, as for Fang Jie, he knows what he did wrong, she doesn't need to say more, his grandmother has been handed over to Dali Temple for investigation, at least Qi Shu has not been released when he left Shaoliang.
"Shu'er, did you apply to Your Majesty for a letter I wrote?" Even if Qi Shu said this, Fang Jie's heart still didn't give up, although he hugged Qi Shu's mouth was cold and hard, but in fact, his heart was very soft to treat him.
Ning Ze took out something from his arms again, and then shook it in front of Fang Jie as well.
"General, what are you talking about? The county lord didn't see it, but I picked it up. It means that Qi Shu lost this letter, so he didn't see the affectionate letter written by Fang Jie.
Was this man hell-bent on hitting him in the face? Fang Jie's eyes were completely cold, and he could feel that the people around him seemed to be laughing at him.
"Lord Wang, your hand is inevitably stretched too long, this is a matter between me and Shu'er, and outsiders can't be allowed to interfere, right?" He was already very unhappy when Ning Ze did this before, and now he is still interfering in his affairs, is there a grudge?
"The general's words are wrong, you have already married a wife, and Qi Shu or Yun Ying are not married, where is the difference?" He still couldn't get used to hearing Fang Jie say such brazen words.
"All the soldiers must be very tired, come, let's drink to relieve fatigue!" I have no intention of paying attention to the comings and goings between these two people, and the undercurrent is surging, so it is better to appease the soldiers, drink happily, and leave for Guangchuan tomorrow!
