Chapter 163: First Arrival in Haozhou
Chapter 163: Arriving in Haozhou at the beginning
As the exterminator Tai and his party left, Lin Yu and the others set off again and rushed towards Haozhou.
Haozhou is located in present-day Fengyang County, Anhui Province. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was Zhongli State, Sui Haozhou, and Zhongli (now east of Fengyang County, Anhui). At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was Linhao Mansion. Now it is Linhuai Town, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, or Linhuai Pass, Linhuai, also known as Haoliang, etc., the famous Xiaogang Village of Fengyang County is near here. It is one of the four major historical towns in Anhui Province, located in the middle reaches of the Huai River, not too far from the Butterfly Valley of Hu Qingniu, just one day away.
After walking for several miles, they walked on the main road, and when they arrived at a small town, they wanted to buy some food in the town, but they knew that every house in the town was empty, and there was not even a single figure, so they had no choice but to continue on their journey, but they saw that the rice fields along the way were all cracked, and the fields were full of thorns and grass, and they were desolate. After walking for a while, I saw several corpses lying on the side of the road, with shriveled stomachs and sunken cheeks, and at first sight I knew that I had starved to death. The more you go, the more you starve.
Along the way, everyone saw a lot of hungry people, and even witnessed someone changing children and eating, Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they couldn't help trembling holding Lin Yu's hand, and Lin Yu and Hu Qingniu and his wife didn't look good, but fortunately, there were many of them, and these hungry people only dared to look at them with their eyes, and they didn't pounce.
Seeing the tragic situation along the way, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh: "The time of this Yuan Dynasty is short. ”
Hu Qingniu also felt the same way, nodded, but didn't say anything, the excitement along the way was too great, Rao is he had seen a lot of life and death, and his heart was already ruthless, but he was still touched, and Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo were still half-grown children, ignorant. I couldn't help but show a sad look on my face.
Fortunately, in the territory of Haozhou, the situation has changed a lot, and the nearby villages are also faintly populated, although the people here are yellow and thin, but compared to the dying hungry people, it is much better. Seeing this, Lin Yu showed a hint of joy on his face, how to say that this is also his own territory, it seems that Guo Zixing and they are doing well.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't wait for the wind under his feet, and immediately rushed to see Chang Yuchun and Guo Zixing, but seeing Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo, their faces were already full of fatigue, and the sky was also dark at this time, so he thought about it. Still proposed: "Let's find a place to rest nearby today, and then go to Nahaozhou City tomorrow, how about it?"
After his words, Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo naturally had no opinion, they had long been eager to stop and rest, and Hu Qingniu, who was now Lin Yu's subordinate, was naturally dominated by him. The area is vast and sparsely populated. Wherever there was an inn or something, everyone built a bonfire nearby. It's kind of sleeping in the wilderness.
This night, Lin Yu was all keeping vigil alone. Hu Qingniu originally proposed to take turns keeping vigil, but was taken down by Lin Yu, he no longer needed to recover his spirit by sleeping, and he was also used to meditating all night over the years, so Lin Yu was also meditating alone on the ground tonight. However, with his martial arts at this time, he could already sense the wind and grass in a few miles nearby, so it didn't matter if he closed his eyes or not.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, everyone used up the dry food. Set off towards Haozhou City again.
After about three hours, I finally saw Haozhou City, although this Haozhou City is much smaller than Dali City and Hangzhou City that Lin Yu saw in Condor Shooting and Tianlong, but it is also a thoroughfare, and the population in the city is still very large.
Everyone entered the city, and under the leadership of Lin Yu, they went straight to Guo Zixing's residence, and Lin Yu had been here alone a few times, so he was not a stranger.
Perhaps Guo Zixing had explained, and after the group made a report, they were taken directly to the lobby.
It didn't take long for a man in his forties to come out from behind, this man came to Lin Yu and greeted him warmly: "It turns out that Mr. is here, why didn't you notify me earlier, so that I can set up a banquet to entertain Mr." ”
"Okay, Zixing, there are no outsiders here," Lin Yu glanced at the man, pointed to Zhang Wuji and the others and introduced: "These two are my apprentices, as for those over there," Lin Yu paused for a moment and said playfully: "Have you heard of the Butterfly Valley Medical Immortal?"
"What, this is the 'Butterfly Valley Medical Immortal' Hu Qingniu, Mr. Hu?" Guo Zixing looked at Hu Qingniu with some surprise. He also knew Hu Qingniu's name, but he really didn't expect that Lin Yu would be able to invite Hu Qingniu here, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Hu is here, isn't it?"
Lin Yu nodded, "That's right, Mr. Hu was invited by me to train a group of military doctors for us." This is also what Lin Yu discussed with Hu Qingniu on the road, after all, he is only one person, if he is responsible for treating so many people at once, I am afraid he will not be busy, so Lin Yu's request is very simple, that is, let Hu Qingniu quickly cultivate a group of war doctors who know how to bandage, stop bleeding, and care.
Although Guo Zixing's ability is limited, he also understands the truth in this regard, hearing this, he greeted Hu Qingniu more warmly and said: "Mr. Hu, you have come from afar, you haven't rested yet, come here, prepare a room for a few distinguished guests," Seeing that everyone was in the dust, he added: "Go and prepare hot water, let a few guests bathe and change clothes." ”
Originally, Hu Qingniu still had some complaints about this trip, because of Lin Yu's face, it was not easy to attack, but seeing Guo Zixing attaching so much importance to himself, he couldn't help but be secretly happy, and the resentment in his heart had long since disappeared. I saw him smile and said, "General Guo has a heart, Hu has thanked him here." ”
"By the way, it's often spring,"
Lin Yu really couldn't stand the politeness of these two people in front of him, and seeing that Chang Yuchun hadn't come for a long time, he couldn't help but interrupt.
"Oh, Yu Chun, he is now leading the troops in the barracks, I have already sent someone to inform him, it is estimated that he will be there in a while. ”
Speaking of Chang Yuchun, Guo Zixing smiled, obviously very satisfied with Chang Yuchun, which made Lin Yu also breathe a sigh of relief, although Guo Zixing was controlled by himself with a life and death charm, but after all, he has not been in Haozhou for a long time, if he secretly obstructs and makes some stumbling blocks on Chang Yuchun, it will affect Lin Yu's plan, because he doesn't want to see that scene, and now seeing that Guo Zixing has no problem with Chang Yuchun, Lin Yu is also relieved.
Sure enough, Lin Yu and Hu Qingniu, under the leadership of the servants, came to their respective rooms to bathe and change clothes, and after cleaning up, they followed the servants to the banquet hall, and Chang Yuchun came here in the early morning, and was sitting on the side chatting with Guo Zixing, seeing how they talked happily, it made Lin Yu believe what Guo Zixing said just now.
