There was disgusting blood all around, dozens of innocent horses were lying on the ground, their huge bodies were paralyzed in a pool of blood, from time to time snorting accompanied by occasional low neighing, and even a few seemed to try to check the injuries on their bodies, twisting their heads as much as possible but pulling the wounds on their bodies, swinging their limbs in pain, but still staring at stubborn eyes, and finally had to fall exhausted in a pool of blood after some struggle, A pair of big eyes full of unwillingness gradually lost their luster in the sun, and slowly closed together.

Several carriages were scattered by the cavalry attack just now, and the coachmen who could still move dragged the bodies of the rest of their lives, trembling and trying to put them back together, but the damage to the carriage was too serious, after a moment of effort, several people had to sit aside in frustration, only two elderly coachmen still refused to give up and continued to insist, but they kept muttering something, and their eyes raised from time to time to glance at the surrounding corpses, as if they were cursing the group of cavalry just now.

There were sixty-four men and sixty-four horses, of which only thirty-six survived after the battle, and none of the cavalry survived. Even after the end of the war, in order to avoid the leakage of news, Ding Li and others ruthlessly wiped out the cavalry that was not completely dead.

There are corpses all over the ground, and there are also a lot of losses in Miao's dart game, in addition to Zhang Hao and Li Huzi who died before, there are eleven people who died on the spot, and the total number is more than half of Miao's dart game. Huojialing's people were in a slightly better condition, especially the ten cavalry archers, who were not even slightly injured due to the relationship between shooting the enemy on the periphery. The six people who followed Huo Lang were three dead and three wounded, one of whom was seriously injured, mainly due to Huo Lang's command error, and the damage was relatively large during the first bow and arrow counterattack.

Next, Ding Li and the others faced two problems, one was how to deal with so many corpses, of course, not the corpses of those enemies, but the thirteen dead dart masters. These dart masters are different from those in Huojialing, one person feeds the whole family and is not hungry, and he goes alone, even if Huo Langdang took the rest of his brothers to dig a big pit in the nearby woods, and buried those brothers who died in the battle on the spot.

But Miao Cuihua can't treat her subordinates like this, those dart masters are all people who have families in the local area, at least they have to give an explanation to their families, after all, if you live to see people die, you have to see corpses. After Miao Cuihua, Li Shan and Scar Wei, the two dart heads, since there was no need to continue the dart, everyone decided to return to Fuxu Town with the corpses of their brothers and take care of the funeral for them as soon as possible.

But suddenly remembered that there was still a Ding Li in the dart team, and after some tossing, I saw that the sunset on the horizon was already hanging over the top of the mountain, Miao Cuihua immediately decided to find a place to camp for one night nearby, and then part ways with Ding Li tomorrow morning.

This decision also made Ding Li a little grateful, the old injuries were caused in the fight just now, and it is also a good thing that a few more people around him should take care of him, not to mention that Scar Wei in the dart team is half a doctor, and there are all kinds of medical supplies. What's more, even if he rode alone at this time, it would be dark when he arrived in Guangzhou Mansion, the city gate had already been closed, and Ding Li would inevitably end up sleeping in the wild for one night.

Huo Lang, the second master of Huojialing, was not interested in accompanying them to stay in the field, although the goods of several carriages were together, and it would take nearly half of the time to rush away, but Huo Lang still took the goods and escorted the carriage away after checking the news, and at the same time took away the surviving coachmen, saying that only by sending the goods back to the cottage safely would he be willing to reward everyone with the gold leaf promised by Ding Li before.

Before leaving, Huo Lang also did something that shocked Ding Li and others, and even boldly left a box of gold and silver as a thank you, although his own brothers were also killed and injured, but he understood that if it were not for the assistance of Ding Li and others, let alone want to take these belongings away, even he would have to be planted in the middle-aged steward's scheme.

After Ding Li and the others treated the wounds, they dragged the corpses of the battlefield to the nearby groves, cut down some branches as cover, and then the remaining ten or so people dragged their tired bodies, jumped on their respective mounts, and walked along the stream for nearly half an hour.

"Li Darttou, you can arrange it!" After dismounting, Miao Cuihua set her sights on Li Shan, the head of the big dart, obviously she is not good at setting up a stove in the wild, although she is in charge of a huge dart game, presumably it is not possible to personally send darts on weekdays, not to mention that the distance is still far away and you need to sleep in the wild often.

"Don't worry, in charge, you and Brother Ali just rest!" Li Shan nodded very boldly, as if he had walked out of the shadow of his dart master's death, or the smile on his face was deliberately shown to Ding Li, and then shouted at the scar guard who had not yet dismounted: "Hey! I said Scar, what's the matter? Can you still use your legs? We've got to get something to eat! ”

"Humph! It's just a small injury! The scar guard on the horseback proudly straightened his chest, glanced at Li Shan, of course understood the meaning of the other party's words, and immediately shook his head at the two dart masters who had just dismounted and sat on the ground and wanted to rest: "Come with me, not far from the downstream ahead, get a few fish, and by the way, see if you can hunt some game and open meat!" ”

"Yes, yes! I just searched for some good wine from the thief's car! As soon as Li Shan heard this, he stretched out his hand to stop the scar guard who was moving the mount, and told the other party with a smile: "Brothers, you are tired enough today, it's best to get some game and drink to suppress the shock, and then sleep comfortably at night!" ”

"Got it! Let's build a stove! Scar Guard seemed impatient, and without looking back, he dropped a word, and with his feet slammed his horse, he urged his mount to walk away.

Ding Li is no stranger to the stove that Scar Wei said, digging a few pits quickly, piling up the dead branches that the dart masters got back, and then using thick wooden sticks to build a shelf around it, and then hanging an iron pot washed with stream water in the middle, lighting the fire, and boiling the sweet stream water of a pot.

"Ali, thank you so much!" Miao Cuihua was not idle during the period, and she did not have the appearance of a dart game as a family member, and even the 'stove' sitting in front of her at the moment was set up by her own hands, and then she looked at the flames jumping up and down in front of her with a somewhat dull gaze, and whispered thanks to Ding Li beside her.

"It's all over, Sister Miao, you're welcome, you've said it more than ten times all the way!" Ding Li shook his head lightly, the corners of his mouth had the same bitter smile as Miao Cuihua, and his eyes were also staring at the crackling bonfire in front of him.

"Hey, thirteen brothers, thirteen, that's it." Miao Cuihua turned her head slightly to look at the corpses piled up in the carriage beside her, her eyes flashed with tears, and her tone sobbed inadvertently. Then he seemed to realize his gaffe, hurriedly sniffed, raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, turned his head and glanced at Ding Li embarrassedly, and explained in a low voice: "Actually, in fact, it is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing, in the past, even if a brother had an accident, every time Li Darttou and Scar Wei came back to say it, and I, every time, what I can do is to try to compensate their families in terms of money, and try to take care of their future affairs as much as possible!" But, but today, after I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn't imagine how I would face their families tomorrow. ”

Saying that, Miao Cuihua's tears involuntarily fell again, Ding Li on the side was suddenly a little at a loss, although his mood was not good, but life and death have long been seen in such a thing, hesitated for a moment, and had to nod helplessly, but did not know what to say to comfort.

Hanging her head and sobbing for a long time, Miao Cuihua raised her head again, the expression on her face was extremely complicated, but there were no tears in her eyes, and under the firelight, only faint tears were still visible on her face. But Ding Li still didn't know what he could say or do to comfort the other party, so he had to sigh secretly in his heart.

After a while, the water in the iron pot was already boiling, Li Shan hurriedly beckoned everyone to drink boiling water to relieve fatigue first, and then took out a few skins of the trophies, but after seeing the looming sadness of Miao Cuihua after the bonfire, Li Shan, who had a straightforward temperament, was also stunned for a moment, and then turned his eyes and glanced at the brothers who were 'sleeping' in the carriage, and suddenly his face became solemn, and after throwing a few skins aside, he walked quickly to Miao Cuihua and sat down.

"The family, don't be too sad, the brothers eat this bowl of rice, life and death have long been put aside, today's matter, I can't complain about the family, after all, after all..." As he spoke, Li Shan's voice became smaller, especially after seeing the crystal in Miao Cuihua's eyes floating again, Deng Shi's anxious face turned red, and he realized that his words had aroused the thoughts of the master again, after all, the reason why this dart was not in accordance with the rules and caused the current situation was completely inseparable from Miao Cuihua's financial obsession at that time.

"Li Dadarttou, how are your injuries?" Seeing this, Ding Li also knew that Li Shan didn't mean to say this, so his heart moved, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to relieve the siege for the other party, staring at a few bandages on the other party's body, and diverted the topic.

"Oh, it's okay, it's all a small injury, get used to it, don't get in the way!" Li Shan was a little stunned at first, but when he saw Ding Li blinking at him, he immediately understood the other party's painstaking efforts, and after shaking his head and answering aggressively, he also continued to divert the topic, but after thinking about it, he had nothing to say, and suddenly saw the wound that Scar Wei bandaged Ding Li just now, and he didn't care if he had committed a taboo, so he asked: "Brother Ali!" I remember you weren't hurt, but just now, why did Scar Guard bandage you so many wounds? ”

"Oh? These, uh. Ding Li was also stunned, he was indeed not injured in the fight just now, and even the abrasions when he jumped off the horse did not wear out his clothes, and the new clothes that he changed in the morning did not have any gaps except for being dirty, but they were covered with bloodstains, some of them were from the enemy, and some were stained after the old wounds were broken, and when Scar Guard treated Ding Li's wounds, everyone had seen it with their own eyes, at least five wounds were bandaged, and the wounds were quite deep.

As soon as she asked this, even Miao Cuihua turned her eyes and stared at Ding Li blankly, lest she miss a word of the other party's answer.

Ding Li originally wanted to excuse himself by saying that everyone didn't notice his injury just now, but the clothes on his body were still intact, and Ding Li directly denied it in his heart before this lie was told, not to mention that the two people around him were not fools at all.

"Don't hide it, these injuries are all left by me before!" After thinking about it, Ding Li simply stopped thinking about how to make up lies, after all, he had the life and death experience of fighting side by side with everyone, and he felt that if he continued to hide it, the truth would be exposed in the future, and Ding Li himself thought it was a little unreasonable, since it was decided, Ding Li no longer concealed it, and poured out his true identity in one go: "Sister Miao and Li Dadaotou are both people on the rivers and lakes, they should have heard of the Nanhai Gang, right?" ”

After getting the nod of course from the two, Ding Li continued to add with a serious face: "Ding Li of the South China Sea Gang, it's me!" ”
