Chapter 80: The Desert
The moonlight was as clear as frost, making the fox look empty and meditate all night. Jinyun helped him to bed to rest, and was pushed away by him.
After a big wedding in the empty room, she was heartbroken, lying on the head of the bed, her tears were wet with the brocade quilt, and after a while, the tears dried up, and she fell asleep in red makeup.
At about midnight the next day, Ling Huyuan heard a rooster crow, and his eyes gradually retracted, closed his eyes tightly, and shook his head a few times before he sobered up a little.
He rolled over and almost fell over, but he slowly stood up after holding on to the wooden railing, and saw the remnants of the red candle swaying, and the wax tears gathered under the candle flame, like a clear spring. walked to the head of the bed, gently helped Jinyun up, let her lie down and sleep, through the oblique light, the tears on her face could be faintly seen.
Ling Huyuan picked up the futon and covered it against her body.
"Jinyun, you have a good night's sleep!"
With that, he straightened his clothes and walked out of the room.
As soon as Chu Rong'er turned over and got up, and after a wash, Wei Xun sent someone to pass on the message, and Rong'er panicked after hearing it, but she didn't want to tell her father, so as to save him from worrying.
She brought a bowl of morning porridge to her father, smiled and chatted a few words, and then went out of the house.
Whip up and head northwest.
The horse was tired, but she was not tired at all, and she was anxious.
Through Qingzhou and Wuzhou, he drove 500 miles.
The sky is getting late, the red glow is shining, the grass is gradually thinning, the sand is gradually increasing, the desert is lonely, curling up, floating leisurely in the sunset afterglow of the sky, and the grass wool blown by the wind falls on her eyebrows, a little itchy.
Chu Rong'er gently wiped it off, covered it with a silk scarf to block the sand, and hurried again.
At dusk on the second day, she finally rushed to the Jiazhou military camp and showed the token of Youzhou Mu to the guards before she was able to enter. When I found my brother's tent, my brother was lying on the bed tightly, with blood scabs on the corners of his mouth and lips, shrunk into a ball, and his body was covered with two futons, still shivering with cold.
Chu Rong'er threw herself in front of the bed, the tears in her eyes couldn't help it, and they still fell.
"Brother, brother......"
Chu Liusu slowly opened his hazy eyes, and after being stunned for a while, he spoke: "Rong'er, why are you ..... Why is it coming?" he breathed rapidly with two light coughs.
"Brother, don't talk about it, don't talk anymore, I'll tell you slowly when you get better. She touched Chu Liusu's cheeks with both hands, her fingers didn't dare to touch the scabs on the corners of her mouth, and she couldn't bear to touch them, for fear of making it hurt more.
Chu Rong'er instructed a military doctor on the side to bring a pot of hot soup, add some salt grains, find a clean thick white towel, soak it for a while, and put it on his lips.
"Brother, it will hurt a little, you bear with it. ”
Chu Liusu closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
After dealing with it, Chu Rong'er summoned the soldiers to come, asked him to lead the way, and took her to ask to meet the general Zhenxi who was guarding the territory.
The north wind stirred the flags on the camp wall, and the hunt sounded. The cold air destroyed the camp, and the guards who were on guard touched Ziqing's face, still patrolling back and forth.
After entering the general's tent, General Huo was standing in front of the sand table, looking at a mound of Gobi, and after pondering for a while, he picked up a small flag and planted it in a river valley.
Chu Rong'er knelt down to greet her, and General Huo glanced at him in surprise, and raised his hand to excuse him.
"You girl, how did you get into the barracks?"
Chu Rong'er raised her head and said sonorously: "My brother is sick, his injuries are serious, and the doctors in the army are helpless, so I got the news and hurried over." ”
General Huo's brows furrowed, "You mean Chu Liusu, the commander of the left capital?"
"Well, it's my brother" Chu Rong'er bit her lip.
General Huo took a few steps back and forth, and sighed deeply: "Captain Zuo suffered from a violent illness, the doctor said that he should not withstand the bumps, so as not to aggravate his condition, I had to send someone to the Imperial City Daming Hall to ask the Imperial Doctor to come." ”
Chu Rong'er's face was solemn, "General Huo, my brother's plague is particularly special, but it is not contagious, don't panic, I guess the disease comes from the mouth, and eating unclean things leads to illness, as long as you clean up the dishes and chopsticks, don't use them indiscriminately." ”
"Then you can heal?" General Huo asked suspiciously.
"Daddy is a good doctor, the little girl has learned since she was a child, and she is still quite virtuous in the treatment of plague. ”
"I see, then you will use medicine to heal, if there is any need, just ask, I will send a military doctor to cooperate with you!"
Chu Rong'er frowned, and arched her hand and said: "General Huo, I asked the doctor in the army, there is a lack of a herb to cure the plague in the preparation of medicinal materials in the barracks, and I need to select dozens of elite soldiers to go to the desert to find this herb." ”
General Huo didn't respond for a long time, rolled his eyes and said, "Is there such a herb over there in Weidu?"
"It may be found in the streets and alleys of the people, but it is also difficult to find, after all, this kind of plague can only be encountered in desert areas. It took five or six days to go back and forth from the imperial city to here, which was extremely detrimental to my brother's injury. ”
General Huo threw another small flag in his hand next to the sand table, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's up to you, you come with me and pick some suitable candidates." ”
The trumpets sounded, and the soldiers lined up.
"Brothers, we also know Captain Zuo's injuries, and now his sister is not afraid of difficulties and dangers to come here and treat him, but she lacks medicinal materials to treat the disease, so she can only go into the desert to find it, are you willing to accompany her into the desert to find medicine?"
All the soldiers took a step forward and stood up.
One of them took the lead and shouted categorically: "Captain Zuo treats us like brothers, he is suffering from a plague, and we are in pain in our hearts, and it is incumbent on us to seek medicine for him." ”
General Huo shouted, "Okay!"
A cloud of exhaled white air drifted away with the wind.
"Miss Chu, the brothers are willing to go, you can choose whatever you want according to your requirements!"
Chu Rong'er nodded and said loudly: "Among you are the martial artists!"
"Hmmm...."
.......
Two-thirds of the soldiers stood out, about a hundred or so people.
Chu Rong'er glanced at it and picked out some light and thin ones. There were three rows, a total of thirty people.
General Huo pinched the Pu knife and raised his hand and said: "Brothers, everything is arranged by Miss Chu, there are robbers, bandits, and even more people in the desert, you must be careful, save the trouble and accidents." ”
All the armor shouted in unison: "Get your life!"
Chu Rong'er thanked General Huo, went to the military tent of Zuo Duwei to see her brother, and then led thirty martial artists to leave the Zhenxi military camp overnight and go to the desert.
The Hanhai Sea is vast and boundless.
The name of the required medicinal material is silver moon ginseng, which is cool and detoxifying, and specializes in treating plagues. It is extremely scarce in the world, and can only be found in oases deep in the desert. When the moon shines, it blooms overnight and closes in the morning.
Takefu's foot strength is still good, and he has penetrated thirty miles. Chu Rong'er looked at the starry sky, and with the help of the seven stars to distinguish the north, she confirmed the route of travel, in case she lost her way in the sea of sand and encountered an accident.
No matter which way of sword cultivation, no matter how powerful the supernatural power is, if there is no water to drink, it will still die of thirst, unless those great sword immortals who fly with the sword shuttle can gallop freely, but the whole world, only the three hundred famous guests on the heavenly list can reach that realm.
