The amount of relief food they transported this time was very large, and even if the normal consumption of the sergeants and soldiers in the team was put aside, it should be conservatively estimated that it should be able to support tens of thousands of people to go to the next town.

Therefore, when he saw that Ning Jing and the others still failed to enter the camp, but stood in front of the camp in a daze, Ma Zhao suddenly felt confused.

He didn't suspect that Cao Bin was lying, after all, he was a heaven-level powerhouse.

Although he didn't know what the Heavenly Rank powerhouse represented at that time, he suspected that Cao Bin had made a special trip to set up such a drama for these half-grown children, and Ma Zhao didn't think that it had this value.

So, Ma Zhao hurriedly ran forward, and Tranquility also happened to see Ma Zhao and Cao Bin at this time, he was stunned at first, but he didn't ask anything.

"Hey, beating people, what are you doing standing here stupidly?" Ma Zhao asked.

Ning Jing glanced at the few soldiers on duty, ignored Ma Zhao, but turned his head directly to look at Cao Bin, and said, "I want ten bags of food, as well as medicine to clean the wound." ”

"Boy, you're welcome, but, no!" Cao Bin replied very decisively.

There was a muffled sound of "plopping", and Tranquility knelt directly in front of Cao Bin.

Ma Zhao watched this scene dumbfounded, and was silent for a long time, at that time he was still far from understanding the true meaning of this kneeling.

Cao Bin sighed helplessly, he didn't go to help Ning Jing, but half-squatted down, his gaze was as level as possible with this stubborn little guy, and he said in a low voice: "Boy, this is a military camp, and although I am the boss here, I also need to abide by the rules here, I can't irresponsibly distribute food to you casually, after all, you poor people don't know how many there are over there." ”

Cao Bin pointed to the side of the mountain and continued: "Even if you are given food, you may not be able to get out of here successfully, in case you meet other refugees, the food in your hands will only become a burden on your group, in short, if you want food and medicine, stay in the barracks, I, Cao Bin, will definitely bring you back to Fancheng alive." ”

Ma Zhao was still puzzled, but after Cao Bin had just finished speaking, an officer came to the barracks, bowing his head and reporting something to Cao Bin.

Tranquility knelt motionless on the ground, as if he had guessed what they were talking about, and after the officer had spoken, he was silent for a long time before saying, "Can you still fulfill what you said now?"

Cao Bin's face couldn't show joy and anger, "Cold poison... I didn't expect that little girl among you to suffer from this disease, don't you know that this disease is not only incurable, but also contagious when it attacks?"

"All I need is ten sacks of food and medicine. Tranquility didn't seem to hear Cao Bin's persuasion.

Cao Bin let out a long sigh and looked at Ning Jing's helpless face.

"What kind of cold poison is not cold poison? Old man, don't you ignore them..."Ma Zhao didn't know what kind of dumb riddle those people were playing.

Girl... Among the dozen refugees, there is only one girl, Xiaohua...

Cao Bin glared, did he care? Although he had never seen the symptoms of that little girl with his own eyes, since the disease of cold poison had already appeared, it was a terminal illness that even a heaven-level master could not completely cure.

To put it mildly, once that kind of illness occurs, live... It's better to die.

"Boy, I can't do anything about that girl's illness, and I have to regret telling you that the old man can't do it for you, regardless of the life or death of other refugees, according to the medical officer's description, the dozen or so people you are traveling with have been more or less infected with cold poison, and the reason why your kid is okay is because he has practiced true qi. Cao Bin sighed deeply and said, "Boy, I'm sorry." ”

"Old man, you can send a few soldiers and send them to the nearest town like you did last time!" Ma Zhao on the side suddenly remembered that after Cao Bin had taken in enough refugees before, he ordered some of the soldiers to escort them back to the city.

"Don't make up your mind, you kid, don't say who will escort the grain cart behind the old man who is sending dozens of people out, just talking about the cold poison on their bodies, there will be no towns willing to accept them! Have you ever thought about how long I need to stay here this time back and forth? How many refugees will not survive this heavy snow?"

Ma Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and muttered in a low voice: "Then you can't ignore them..."

Cao Bin sighed again, he looked at Ning Jing, who was still kneeling on the ground, shook his head and said when he passed by: "I won't drive you away, but you can't enter the camp." ”

Tranquility's whole person stiffened suddenly, and then kowtowed heavily to Cao Bin a few times.

On that day, these dozen refugees finally had a full meal.

...

"Later all the way, I went out of the camp from time to time to mix with Tranquility and a few of them, and after I got acquainted, I also knew their life experience, and also knew why Tranquility knew the symptom of cold poison, according to Tranquility, even when there was no famine, the villagers in their village would suffer from this disease because of the weather in the cold winter, and this year it was a famine, and he also guessed that Cao Bin would not take in these companions who were suffering from cold poison, so he knelt down and asked for food, but he didn't expect this Officer Cao to let them follow behind the teamMa Zhao recalled the situation at that time, and his words were full of helplessness.

"Uh... So Senior Brother Ning made a lifelong agreement with his sister-in-law back then? If I remember correctly, he would be eight or nine years old, right?" Gu Chensheng was stunned.

"Poof... You stinky boy!" Ma Zhao was also stunned, and then couldn't help laughing, "Although there is no solution to the disease of cold poison, it is not the kind of direct fatal disease, it is very tormenting, but it will not let people die directly, it seems to be an extremely poisonous exercise, stealing not people's true qi, but life, the teacher said, once this poison is infected, it cannot be eradicated, he will lurk in the meridians around you, either the poisoned person cultivates his true qi by himself and successfully removes it, or there is only the legendary, that kind of miraculous method of changing bodies." ”

Gu Chensheng was taken aback when he heard this, secretly glanced at Ma Zhao's expression, and after confirming that he didn't mean something, he hurriedly asked, "Change your body?"

Ma Zhao sighed and said, "It would be nice if I could really do it, I heard the teacher say that if you want to change your body, you need a spirit called a spirit... I forgot what the spirit came from, in short, it was equivalent to the consciousness of our warriors, and the consciousness left the body and then reintegrated into other bodies... By the way, haven't you also entered the military exercise sand table, consciousness separation is probably that feeling, but the limitations are very obvious, first of all, there must be that large array to assist, and at most, the strength of the people at the peak of the ground level can be separated from consciousness, there are too many restrictions, there is no way to use it to replace the body. ”
