Chapter 239: Soaring Fire
Chapter 239: Soaring Fire
At this time, it was already dark, and the fire from the tree house could be faintly seen, Xiao Bai stopped at a distance from the tree house on the back mountain, and the white wolf carrying Li Yue and Yi'er behind him also stopped, and several people got down from the wolf quilt.
Li Yue touched Xiaobai's head and said, "Go back, I've wronged you, the family is very messy, and you definitely don't want to go home with you." ”
Xiao Bai rubbed Li Yue and Xiao Yang before reluctantly turning around and running into the mountains and forests in the dark night with the other two white wolves.
After Xiaobai left, Li Yue picked up Xiaoyang, who was still reluctantly looking at the direction of Xiaobai's departure, and the three of them returned to the courtyard of the tree house together.
When the three of them went back to the yard, they saw Xu Jinniang standing at the gate of the yard and wandering, and when they saw a few people who came into the yard, they hurriedly greeted them, and said complainingly, "Why did you come back so late?" If you don't come back, I'll ask Lin Xiao to take someone out to find you. ”
Seeing the worried mother, Li Yue said with some apologies, "I met Xiaobai, and then Xiaobai took us to where he lives now, so it's late." ”
Xu Jinniang looked behind Li Yue, "Xiaobai didn't come back with him?" ”
Li Yue shook her head and said helplessly, "There are so many people, Xiaobai is afraid that he doesn't want to stay at home, but the place where he lives now is quite good, but it is even better than ours." ”
Hearing Li Yue's words, Xu Jinniang didn't talk about Xiaobai anymore, but said, "Let's go into the house and eat." ”
While talking, Xu Jinniang took Xiaoyang in Mingyue's hand, hugged her into her arms, and shouted in Xiaoyang's ear while shaking, "Xiaoyang, wake up quickly, eat dinner and go to sleep." ”
There were three large bonfires in the courtyard, and there were people around them, talking while roasting the fire, and the courtyard was very noisy and lively.
Li Yue asked the mother in front of her, "Have you all eaten it?" ”
Xu Jinniang responded, "I've eaten it all, but a few of you haven't eaten it." ”
Li Yue went to the bonfire and said to Xu Jinniang, "Mother, you go first, I'll come right away." ”
When he arrived at the bonfire, Zhao Erzhu gave Li Yue a place and beckoned, "Xiaoyue, where have you been, and you only came back at this time?" Come and sit. ”
Xiao Yue shook her head and said, "No, I still have to go over to eat, my cousin will help watch it, or burn more charcoal and save it like last night." ”
A young man next to Zhao Erzhu asked curiously, "Why do you need to save so much charcoal?" ”
There is nothing to hide, Li Yue opened her mouth and said, "Because the charcoal burns and there is less smoke, the Xianbei army has not yet come over at this time, but it doesn't matter, this wait until the Xianbei army fights, let's burn the fire with such fanfare, from the smoke, the Xianbei army can tell that there are people on this Daliang Mountain and our position, and the charcoal prepared is to prepare for the future." ”
The people sitting by the bonfire over there, listening to Li Yue's words, all showed an expression of sudden realization, and some people kept admiring Li Yue's intelligence.
Li Yue greeted and went to the house, she hadn't eaten dinner yet, and she was indeed a little hungry.
The day still passed quietly, on the third day, Li Yue once again sent Erzhu's cousin to take a few people out to listen to the news, and then Li Yue took people to set traps and make thistles, and the day still passed like this, but the mountain became quieter.
In the evening, Zhao Erzhu took people to the edge of the official road, and found that there were no refugees fleeing, and coincidentally picked up an injured and bloody person from the official road.
Zhao Tiezhu asked everyone to directly let people carry people back, and when they saw the people they rescued, Li Yue opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe it, this person was actually Zhao Zhutou, Lin Xiao was also very surprised, shouldn't Zhao Zhutou be in Linzi County, how could he be so seriously injured and unconscious on the official road.
Li Yue asked Zhao Zhutou to carry him to the laboratory, and then worked with his godfather to treat many saber wounds for Zhao Zhutou, who was covered in injuries, and Lin Xiao took out a pill that had been deceived by Li Yue a lot before, and only a few pills were left, and then he went to Zhao Zhutou to grab medicine and boil medicine.
After Zhao Zhutou finished drinking the medicine, Li Yue instructed Lin Xiao to give Zhao Zhutou a physical cooling down with wine, if he could stay up until he woke up before tomorrow morning, there should be no big problem.
Li Yue went outside and asked Zhao Erzhu about the situation when he rescued Zhao Zhutou, and heard that the official road was unusually quiet, and he couldn't even see a single fleeing refugee, Li Yue couldn't help frowning, and asked Zhao Tiezhu to quickly gather everyone in the courtyard.
After everyone came back and gathered in the courtyard, Li Yue said in a heavy tone, "I'm afraid that the Xianbei army has arrived, from now on, everyone will try to move around the yard, take care of the children, don't make loud noises, don't make fires at will, try to rest early at night, don't light the lamp, cook by my mother's side during the day with charcoal, everyone can remember, if you don't listen to the greeting, let Xianbei find out our movements, just our traps, can we save our lives, I don't dare to pack a ticket. ”
Matters related to their own lives, everyone nodded solemnly and with a heavy heart, is this Xianbei army finally coming?
Zhao Zhutou was placed in the laboratory, with Lin Xiao and Zhang Langzhong taking care of him, Li Yue was resting in the room next to him, but he couldn't sleep anyway, and quietly got up from time to time to take a look to see if Zhao Zhutou woke up, if Zhao Zhutou woke up, he could roughly know what was going on outside.
It was only when Li Yue passed through this side of the house again that he suddenly found that the smoke rising from the bottom of the mountain and the red light that reflected half of the sky, the smoke flew and drifted to the mountain with the wind, and Li Yue could smell the choking smoke.
Lin Xiao and Zhang Langzhong didn't know when they had already stood by Li Yue's side, Zhang Langzhong sighed, and whispered with red eyes, "I'm afraid that the village will be burned down, even if the fleeing people come back in the future, I'm afraid they will be homeless." ”
The firelight also reflected Li Yue's eyes, and Li Yue gritted her teeth and said, "There is no humanity." ”
But the people were still sleeping, and the villages below the mountain had become a fire.
Lin Xiao suddenly said loudly, "I'll go down the mountain to find out the situation." ”
Li Yue stopped, "You don't have to go, it won't help if you go down, let's talk about it tomorrow, let's go see Zhao Zhutou and see when we can wake up, if we wake up, we can also know what the situation is in the county, my uncle and third uncle are still in the county." ”
Except for Li Yue, who squinted from time to time in the first half of the night, Lin Xiao and Zhang Langzhong basically didn't sleep all night, and the three of them stayed in the laboratory in a heavy mood in the second half of the night to guard Zhao Zhutou.
Until the next morning, Zhao Zhutou finally showed signs of waking up slightly, Lin Xiao hurriedly took out a set of silver needles and pricked the needle for Zhao Zhutou, and Zhao Zhutou finally woke up and turned around.
Li Yue looked at Zhao Zhutou excitedly and opened his eyes, waiting for Zhao Zhutou to wake up and tell him about the current situation on the border, the news of the county, and whether there was any news of Li Yun.
Zhao Zhutou opened his eyes and saw Li Yue and Lin Xiao, who he was familiar with, and he was also very excited and muttered hoarsely, "I'm still alive, still alive." ”
Li Yue hurriedly poured a glass of water, then took the pills on the table, and asked Lin Xiao to help lift the back of Zhao Zhutou's neck, feed Zhao Zhutou medicine and drink water.
After that, Li Yue asked, "Why was Zhao Zhutou seriously injured and unconscious on the official road?" ”
Zhao Zhutou turned his head to look at the three people on the side of the bed, and when he saw Zhang Langzhong, he paused slightly, and Zhang Langzhong got up and went out to boil medicine for Zhao Zhutou.
After seeing Zhang Langzhong leave, Zhao Zhutou sighed, and then said, "Linzi County is surrounded by Xianbei 100,000 troops, I am a member of the team that was sent to fight to move out of the city to move the rescue troops, after a small number of us rushed out of the city, they were chased and killed by the Xianbei cavalry, and the whole army was annihilated, I also thought that you and Lin Xiao were in Daliang Mountain in this direction, so I desperately rushed here, thinking about going to Daliang Mountain to find you to see if I could escape this catastrophe......"
After taking a breath, Zhao Zhutou continued, "I don't want to be chased by the Xianbei cavalry, and I was seriously injured, I thought I would definitely die." ”
At this time, Zhao Zhutou found that he didn't have any strength except for his body, and it seemed that the wounds on his body didn't feel much pain, and he couldn't move if he wanted to, so he asked worriedly, "Why can't I move my hands and feet?" ”
Li Yue said comfortingly, "You don't have to worry, we have already treated the wound for you, and we have used anesthetics and painkillers, so you can't move for the time being, but you will feel better this way." ”
Zhao Zhutou breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How do you know where I am and then rescue me?" ”
Lin Xiao responded, "You who were accidentally discovered on the official road are also your fate." ”
Li Yue asked, "Xianbei 100,000 troops surround a small Linzi county, you tell me honestly, what is in this Linzi county, Yanxi army needs to send 20,000 troops to guard this small Linzi county, and the Xianbei army does not hesitate to use 100,000 troops to deal with this small Linzi county." ”
Zhao Zhutou sighed lightly and hesitated for a while before he spoke, "The injured General Zhou Xiao is recuperating in Linzi County, but the news has leaked. ”
"What?" Li Yue was taken aback, she had thought that there was something important in Linzi County that needed to be guarded, but she didn't expect it to be General Zhou Xiao, no wonder this important thing couldn't be transported.
Li Yue heard the news leaked, frowned and complained, "There are still Qi family people in Linzi County, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and it is not bad to recuperate in Linzi County, but it is not bad to send 20,000 people to guard Linzi County with great fanfare, and guard Linzi County like an iron bucket, isn't this 'no silver three hundred taels here', deliberately arousing suspicion?" It's stupid enough. ”
