The people on the other pillar sat obediently under the eaves, because they were bound together by the seriously wounded and the weak women. The strong man cut a wound on his stomach, and blood flowed under his leg, and then he woke up and looked at Li Siye who was squatting in front of him in confusion.

Li Siye sighed leisurely: "People die for money, and birds die for food."

He took out the porcelain bottle of wound medicine prepared by the military medical officer from his arms, tore the blood-stained shirt on the strong man's stomach, and took out a small jar of wine from his backpack, grabbed it in his hand and poured it slowly, washing it on the wound.

The strong man gasped, and Li Siye took out the needle and thread from his backpack, took out the lantern from the house, removed the gauze cover, lit it with a fire fold, and then roasted the needle, and soaked the thread in the wine.

The people around him watched him do all this silently, even the few people who were struggling with the pillar on their backs stopped, the backpack this man was carrying was really a treasure chest, but they didn't know what he was going to do.

Li Siye pinched the needle and thread to stitch the belly of the strong man one by one, and was so shocked that the strong man's eyes widened and his mouth whimpered, and he turned his head from time to time, as if he couldn't bear to see the scene of his devastation.

The patient was forced to cooperate, and Li Siye's stitching was quite smooth, but the technical content was really unbearable, densely packed like a curved and hideous centipede.

Li Siye gently shook the wound medicine bottle and sprinkled it on the sutured wound, and then took out a ball of fine linen gauze from his backpack and wrapped it around his stomach. It's just that this guy's belly is too fat, and his arms are enough to hug and turn his hands together, wrapping a ball of gauze clean.

There were still blood stains oozing from the stomach after the bandage, but it no longer flowed out, and it seemed to have stopped. There was a hint of gratitude on the strong man's pale face.

He went to the gate of the courtyard, opened the door, took the jar of wine from the ox-cart, and went into the main hall to pour gold coins. Fill it up, plug it up, and carry it to the car one by one. Those precious gold and jade utensils, he carried them all into the cloth bag and carried them to the ox cart.

When Li Siye did this, these people just watched, and the sadness in their eyes was like seeing their own son being taken away.

When he had finished pouring, he sat down on the steps under the eaves with a small cloth bag in his hand, poured out a pile of Sassanid gold coins from it, and muttered: "I will not let you run in vain, and besides, you will be injured." This is your labor fee, three gold coins per person, and this pile is the treatment fee, which is also three gold coins. He turned his head to look at the Lady Heruo who had made up and cried, and took out two gold coins from his arms and added them: "You have delayed for a day, you can serve many regular customers, it is your lost work expenses."

He Ruo's murderous eyes glared at Li Siye.

"What? Too much? If you don't want to, then you will have two Sassanid coins deducted. ”

He Ruo whined twice, and the crescent eyebrows looked aggrieved, and tears flowed on the swollen right cheek.

Li Siye threw the gold coin back to her, and said with a smile: "If you were so well-behaved, I wouldn't have beaten you,"

He piled up the gold coins in a conspicuous place, clapped his hands and stood up, pulled out the rags from everyone's mouths in turn, took the knife from the belt around his waist, threw it in the middle of the grass in the deserted courtyard, and said to the bound people: "You have two ways to save yourself, the first is to call someone to save you." The second is to find a way to get the knife in your hands. ”

After saying that, he strode out of the courtyard gate, covered the door again, and led the ox cart out of the alley with a full wine jar.

As soon as Li Siye left, the people in the courtyard began to work intensively to save themselves, four or five people rolled around in the wild grass with pillars on their backs, and because their hands and feet were tied, one person was tortured every time they rolled.

"Quick, this way, get out of here!"

Five or six people were tied to the three-zhang long pillar, rolling in the barren grass yard, they desperately approached the short knives thrown in the grass, or probed with their feet, or bit with their mouths, but they were tied tightly, and they could not even do this difficult movement, it could be called a game of bound hands and feet.

"Ouch, it's crushing me! Turn around and change someone down there!"

"Put the pillar up, I'll count one, two, three, and jump together!"

"Shhhh

"It's better if someone comes! I'm dying of exhaustion!"

"Fuck you, that's my money!"

……

Li Siye sat on the wheel with a whip in his hand, his body swayed with the bumps of the ox cart, and he felt so uncomfortable in his heart, although the action of taking the treasure was full of twists and turns, but in the end it was still in hand.

"Moo," he parked the ox cart at the door of the inn and ran upstairs to find Yan Xiaosi, this guy was snoring in the house, Li Siye pushed open the door and stretched out his hand to drag him up.

"I'm done here, I'll leave for Chang'an immediately."

Yan Xiaosi rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered, "Captain, it's so urgent."

"It's not in a hurry, you can lie on the horse and sleep, pack your things, and let's go."

Yan Xiaosi rubbed his face to regain consciousness, packed his luggage and went downstairs to the backyard of the inn to lead the horse, and Li Siye ran to the counter to settle the room money.

Xiao Si walked out with two horses, saw Li Siye leading the ox cart, and asked in surprise: "Captain, where did you go to get an ox cart this night, and you pulled so much wine, won't we have a good fortune on the road."

Li Siye waved his hand at him: "This ox cart is bought, and this wine is also bought, but it can't be given to you to drink." If you want to drink, go to the wine shop on the street, this wine is too expensive, we can't afford to drink it. ”

Yan Xiaosi nodded convincingly, and said with a smile: "Captain, why don't you let me drive the car, I let the cows go when I was a child."

"No, you can get some rest on your horse."

Yan Xiaosi rode on a horse to drive the black fat, Li Siye carried a whip to drive the cattle, and the two slowly disappeared at the city gate.

Money is a burden for people during the journey, especially this kind of ill-gotten gains, and there is no such relaxed feeling on the road, and there is always a worry about all kinds of unexpected situations.

Their speed slowed down a lot, and besides, the gold of this ox cart was really heavy, and even Yan Xiaosi looked at the deep rutted ditch in a daze, wondering in his heart what kind of wine the captain bought, it was so heavy.

Fortunately, there are many post stations along the way, and there is a post post thirty to fifty miles, and as long as you show your official position, you can get free accommodation and forage supply. As a Datang official, he is quite satisfied with the generous treatment at this point.

The ox cart was eventually stopped by the Yellow River, and there were many ferries at the wharf on the riverbank, so there was no problem with carrying people and horses, but it was too much to carry an ox cart across the river.

There is a pontoon bridge in the gentle place a little downstream, which the ancients called the boat beam, which is specially used for passing business travelers to cross the river, and a small bridge toll is also required to cross the river, which is used for the daily maintenance of the pontoon bridge and the salary of the river workers.

In this era, the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River are still rippling blue waves, the river water reflects the long blue white clouds, and sometimes there are herons and birds holding small fish to fall on the bridge deck, this situation and this scene can also be given poetry, and people who do not have poetry can forget it.

Yan Xiaosi led the horse on the bridge for a while, and felt quite stable, there were wooden piles at the bottom of the pontoon bridge, and there were heavy objects on both sides of the bridge to pull the iron cable, and the pontoon draft under the bridge was quite stable. On the opposite side, a caravan marched leisurely with bells ringing.

"Captain, the pontoon bridge is very stable, you can lead the ox cart here."

Sure, not necessarily. The gold on the ox cart is conservatively estimated to be more than 1,000 catties, in case of a flash collapse of the bridge deck falling into the water, and eventually losing both personal and financial resources.

All the weight was pressed on two wheels, and the unit pressure was too great, and if you could put a set of carts on the horses and divide the jars evenly, it would be much easier to cross the river.

He shouted at Yan Xiaosi: "That's it, I'll unload half of the wine on the ox cart and lead the ox over, you are here to guard!" After I've hidden the jar, I'll come and pull the rest. ”

Yan Xiaosi didn't understand why Li Siye did this, but he still obediently unloaded the wine, hugged the jar and blushed, hey, this wine is really heavy. He waited on the shore with a smile on his face, watched Li Siye drive the ox cart away, looked at the jar on the ground, bent down and stared at his legs for a long time, and finally smacked his mouth and dispelled the urge to find out.
