Chapter Seventy-Three: The Choice
At night, Yang Xuan and others, who had been tired all day, sat outside the mine.
The insects chirp one after another in the summer night, but there is no sound of beasts in the mountains, and it is said that since the discovery of iron ore, the wild animals of this mountain have gone.
People come.
Beast walking.
It's very tacit.
Bonfires were lit around, and people kept picking out rocks from inside.
Yang Xuan leaned against the mountain wall and asked tiredly, "How are those patients?" ”
Zhou Ning stood on the side, "Jiucheng has eased up a lot." I've always wanted to ask...... Why can drinking salt water alleviate the situation? ”
"If you don't eat salt, you're powerless."
"I know that."
"So we came to the conclusion that salt is something that the human body needs."
"Hmm!"
"There is salt in the food that people eat on a daily basis."
"Hmm!"
"It's enough for normal people to do this, but those patients have diarrhea for a few days, and the diarrhea will take away the salt in the body, and as a result, the consequences of lack of salt will gradually appear."
"I see."
Zhou Ning's eyes were filled with brilliance, "How do you understand this?" ”
"Chance!" Suzaku said: "Pretending to be a comparison, women like men who can pretend to be compared the most!" ”
Yang Xuan was silent for a moment, "I was hunting in the mountains that year, and I had a bad stomach and diarrhea, and I almost couldn't hold it anymore. When I was very hungry, I struggled to boil water in a clay pot, but the taste was too weak, so I added salt, and after drinking, I slowly regained some strength before I could get out of the mountains. ”
He looked at the night, "Since then, I have learned that the most important thing for diarrhea is to drink salt water." ”
Zhou Ning stood on his side, looking at Yang Xuan's side face in the firelight, with a smile.
"Hunting?"
You're only fifteen, when are you going to hunt?
Yang Xuan suddenly laughed, "It's all over." ”
Zhou Ning glanced at him seriously, "Okay." ”
Suzaku exploded, "You want to get away with it, you have aroused her curiosity, a woman's curiosity can kill a man......"
Yang Xuan was silent.
After Zhou Ning left, he got up and prepared to change shifts.
"Hey! That's not true, is it? Suzaku asked.
Yang Xuan walked towards the mine.
"Of course."
Wang Lao Er rushed out.
"Lang Jun, there is a voice."
Yang Xuan hurriedly entered.
The blocked section has been dug up quite a bit.
Many people at the scene are avoiding both sides at the moment, and the old thief is squatting in the middle of the vacancy.
Torches blazing.
The old thief put his ear to a stone.
He looked up.
"Someone's knocking on a stone!"
The scene exploded in an instant.
The cheers were endless.
"Knock a few times."
Yang Xuan was also very excited.
The old thief picked up the stone and struck it.
Woohoo!
He tapped a few times and listened.
Bang...... Bang......
He turned back.
Everyone was watching him.
Eyes are eager.
The old thief nodded vigorously.
"Let's go!"
With a cheer, everyone rushed to be the first.
As a cultivated person, Cao Ying and the old thief are fighting on the front line.
"There's a boulder!"
Several large rocks blocked the front.
"This is it, just get through."
A miner who was getting better said excitedly.
"Get out of the way!"
This kind of place can only be visited by people who have cultivated it.
Wang Lao Er was on guard.
Cao Ying and the old thief struggled to pry the stones.
Multiply!
The crowbar bent and made a tooth-aching sound.
Burst!
The two boulders fell almost simultaneously.
Cao Ying and the old thief held up together.
Wang Lao Er flew over.
Cao Ying's face turned the color of pig liver, and she nodded desperately at Wang Lao Er.
The old man couldn't hold it anymore.
The same goes for the old thief over there.
Wang Lao Er rushed to the old thief's side without hesitation and stretched out his hand to help him hold the boulder.
The old thief got out of trouble and helped Cao Ying with a hand.
"Lao Cao, do you want to let go?"
Cao Ying, who was molested, only had a wry smile.
The boulder was then dragged away.
Three heroes were invited out for a drink.
Wang Lao Er doesn't like to drink, "Lang Jun, meat." ”
You knows meat, and sooner or later you'll eat me and go bankrupt.
Yang Xuan took out a piece of jerky and threw it to him, "It's not much." ”
Seeing the joy of his gnawing, Cao Ying moved his arm and asked, "Why did you help the old thief before?" ”
"The old man is more cute."
The shameless old thief made everyone roll their eyes in unison.
"Meat!"
Wang Lao Er looked up.
"What meat?"
"You robbed me of my flesh last time."
"Isn't that a joke on you?"
Cao Ying was speechless.
Wang Lao Er took a bite of jerky and swallowed it.
"I'm not kidding."
……
That night, everyone had no sleep.
At dawn.
Hundreds of people walked on the mountain path.
The leader turned out to be Liang Jing.
The emperor sent people to support the mine, and Liang Jing took the initiative to ask for help.
The concubine didn't allow it, worried that he would be infected with the epidemic, but at that moment, Liang Jing thought of his unscrupulous behavior when he was a young man, and insisted on carrying the concubine behind his back.
Emperor Long Yan Dayue immediately agreed, as for how to appease the concubines in the harem, it is not enough for outsiders, it must take a lot of words.
Halfway through, a sergeant came to greet him.
"What about Chen Jin?" Liang Jing asked.
"The captain is looking after the sick."
Liang Jing nodded, "What about Yang Shaofu?" ”
The sergeant's eyes immediately filled with admiration, "Yang Shaofu is saving people from the mine." ”
"He's stupid?"
Liang Jing patted his head, "There are more than ten people trapped in the mine, and more than 2,000 people on the epidemic side, I don't know which is more serious?" Naturally, it is the right thing to stare at those patients, and it takes a lot of effort to open the mine...... , drank too much. ”
The accompanying officials agreed.
Human life is actually worthless at this moment.
For example, when the city wall was being repaired, the city wall collapsed and killed a few people, which is really not a problem for the Ministry of Industry. Give some bereavement and watch the family cry and leave, and everyone forgot about it after a long time.
When he arrived, the sergeant said, "Ahead is the camp." ”
Liang Jing trembled, and most of the evil youth's unscrupulousness dissipated, "The doctor goes to diagnose and treat, and I still have to go and see my poor brother." ”
"Liang joins the army with unparalleled righteousness!"
Someone offered a sycophant.
But everyone knows that the camp is a base camp for the epidemic at the moment, and to enter it is to go to danger.
"Where is Yang Xuan?"
Liang Jing followed to the mine.
Suddenly, there was a cheer from the front.
Then the torch waved.
"What do you mean? Check it out! ”
Liang Jing quickened his pace with great interest.
When they saw the entrance to the cave, they were blocked by the crowd.
"Hey! Get out of the way! Move! ”
Someone went to open the way.
The people in front of them slowly avoided the sides.
Liang Jing walked over.
"Blindfolded, not to be revealed."
More than a dozen blindfolded miners were set up.
A six- or seven-year-old boy stood at the entrance of the cave, his body trembling, tiptoeing in.
"Aye!"
The sound was bleak.
A miner on a frame stopped, tilting his ears.
"How did you hear my eldest son's voice?"
"Aye!"
The boy pounced.
The miner squatted down, and the boy threw himself into his arms.
"Aye!"
Tears flowed down the faces of father and son, sliding over the stains.
Liang Jing's eyes turned and he saw a gray man on the side.
The man looked at the father and son and grinned.
"Zitai!"
The man followed the sound and couldn't help but be happy.
"Brother Liang, my good brother!"
"Zitai!" Somehow, Liang Jing burst into tears.
Yang Xuan walked over and stretched out his arms.
"Join the army, get out of the way!"
Someone behind him reminded Liang Jing that Yang Xuan had contracted the epidemic at the moment.
As soon as he wanted to dodge, Yang Xuan hugged him.
"Good brother!"
"Zitai!"
Liang Jing's face turned pale.
But Yang Xuan lacked virtue and hugged for a while.
Liang Jing slumped on the ground, holding on to the character, "I'm tired, I'm tired." ”
"Soak your feet."
Yang Xuan knew that this person had regretted his intestines at the moment.
"Yang Shaofu."
The boy's voice came.
Yang Xuan turned around.
The boy knelt down.
Yang Xuangang wanted to stretch out his hand.
The boy kowtowed vigorously, "Thank you Yang Shaofu." ”
Bang!
He knocked another one, "This is my Aye." ”
Yang Xuan picked him up, "Second child." ”
"What?"
"Just given you jerky, give him a piece!"
Wang Lao Er looked reluctant, until he was kicked by Yang Xuan, and then he gave the boy a piece of jerky.
"Zitai, I'm not afraid of death." Liang Jing, who was helped up by someone and couldn't walk, was supporting the character.
Yang Xuan coughed dryly, and coughed a few more times.
"You ......" Liang Jing trembled.
His original life was a well-off, but after Ah Mei became a princess, it was better. When Ah Mei entered the palace and became a concubine, he could be called a fish leaping into the dragon gate, and the chaff basket jumped into the rice basket.
The better the life, the more reluctant to give up the good life, and the more I hate that I can live forever and live for 10,000 years.
Liang Jing is like this.
"It's not a plague!"
Cheers rang from the camp.
Almost all of the people who accompanied him this time were old doctors who were good at epidemic diseases.
"It's food poisoning!" Suzaku's voice was calm, "Large food poisoning, who did it?" ”
Yang Xuan didn't know, and he didn't want to know.
Liang Jing was resurrected with full blood in an instant, and took Yang Xuan's hand, "Come on, come on, introduce a palace person for your brother." ”
At the back of the crowd, a man in his forties stood.
Dry and thin, a pair of eyes slightly red.
"Yang Xuan?"
The voice is peaceful.
"Yes."
The man bowed his head, "Let's Han stone." ”
The boss of the inner servant province, the emperor's henchman Han Shishi?
Yang Xuan hurriedly surrendered his hand, "I've seen Han Neishi." ”
Even the unscrupulous Liang Jing restrained a lot after seeing Han Shishi.
"I've seen Han Neishi."
Han Shishi didn't look at him, but looked at Yang Xuan, and there was more exploration in his reddish eyes.
"Why did you save the more than ten people who were trapped first?"
What is this trying to ask?
What does Chang'an care about?
Epidemic situation!
They are most afraid of the spread of the epidemic.
So is this saying that I don't know how to do things?
How to answer?
Say for Your Majesty?
It's too fake!
The thoughts in my head were only a moment.
Yang Xuan decided to tell the truth, "Xia Guan saw a six or seven-year-old child kneeling outside the cave and shouting Aye, and he couldn't stand it anymore. ”
Stupidity!
Liang Jing shook his head, thinking about the overall situation?
Under the overall situation, what is human life?
Han Shishi was noncommittal, and then asked, "Why do you dare to touch those patients who may be epidemic diseases?" Aren't you afraid of death? ”
Here comes the key question.
Yang Xuan said sincerely: "Those patients are wailing, and the lower officials think that Your Majesty is merciful, and if they know about it, they will definitely ask people to inquire about them." What the subordinate thinks in his heart, he puts it into action...... As for life, at that time, the lower officials only thought about loyalty to His Majesty. ”
This sycophant!
Are we as good as? Liang Jing was stunned on the side.
