Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Camp is Full of Wounded Soldiers
In the open space in the center of the village is a large cauldron, in which horse meat, freshly found potatoes, and cabbage are boiled, and the aroma fills the surroundings, making people salivate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But no one looked at it, and more than 200 people were sitting or lying in the open space in the center of the village. But apart from the occasional groaning of the wounded soldier, nothing else could be heard. Everyone's faces were sad and solemn.
Wang Chen kicked an iron bucket to the ground, he stared at it and rolled twice on the ground, and then hit the edge of the well. "Damn!" he slammed his fist into the wall, sending dust straight away.
Five corpses were neatly placed in the middle of the crowd, and the painful expressions on their faces made Wang Chen dare not look at them directly.
Qianyu was an excellent commander, and after letting Wang Chen and them go, the first thing he did was to transfer troops to block all the pharmacies in the towns, and once he found that someone was buying medicine, he would arrest them indiscriminately. This made Wang Chen and the others unable to get medicine at all. In early winter, it is a plain, and it becomes very difficult to collect medicine in the wild. Seeing the injured people groaning in pain and dying one by one, this feeling of powerlessness made Wang Chen extremely depressed.
"Alright, let's eat first. In the past few days, she has won the sincere respect of the allies, and she is no longer just Wang Chen's woman, "We are not out of danger yet, don't waste time." She tried to keep her voice calm, and was the first to come forward and fill the soup.
Wang Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, suppressed his frustration, and turned around to beckon everyone to arrive, "Hurry up and eat." ”
The soldiers hesitated again, and finally someone took the lead and lined up in front of the pot with various containers found in the abandoned villages along the way. Watching Li Su distribute food to everyone, Wang Chen's nose was sour. He wiped his eyes, turned around and took a shovel, and walked out of the village. A good group of heroes, they were brought out of the feeling of being a beggar. The lives and deaths of brothers and mentors are also unknown. What could be a greater sense of failure?
None of the people who received the meal noticed that Wang Chen walked out, only Changlin, who had been shrinking in the corner of the wall with a blank face, suddenly stood up, he had been in this state of lost soul for the past few days. Wang Chen was angry at him several times, and Li Shu also went to persuade him several times, but he never said a word, he worked when he worked, and he fought when he fought, but he didn't talk to anyone, and when he rested, he shrank in the corner alone.
In the chaos, he didn't have so much energy to take care of him alone, and he didn't cause any trouble anyway, so Wang Chen went with him.
He stood silently not far away, looking at Wang Chen, whose eyes were blood-red, shoveling the soil frantically with a shovel. Looking at it, tears flowed uncontrollably. When Yan Hou was in danger, he couldn't help, when there was a battle, he was the shortest board, and now Wang Chen needed support, and he didn't even have the face to say a word of comfort. He covered his face and slowly squatted on the ground, tears seeping out of his fingers.
Wang Chen instructed everyone to bury the five corpses in the pit, and then they did not rest, and immediately set out for the camp.
After walking for a while, Wang Chen suddenly stopped.
"What's the matter, Brother Chen. Li Su thought that something was wrong with his body, so he hurriedly walked to his side, held his arm and asked.
Wang Chen looked at her, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I thought about it for a while, this can't work." He said, "Call Lao Xia to come, let's discuss." ”
"What!" After listening to Wang Chen's plan, Lao Xia was the first to jump up, "No, no." It's too risky!" he shook his head like a rattle, "they're worried that they won't be able to catch you right now, and you're going to get to the door." That's not going to work!"
"Then what do you say?" Wang Chen didn't get angry, he just sighed slightly and asked.
Lao Xia touched his chin, "It's about a day or two away from the periphery of the Holy Mountain, as long as we hide in the mountain, it won't be so easy to be caught, and we can find herbs in the mountain." There's still a lot of supplies over there. As long as you can go back, it's easy to do. ”
"You're right. Wang Chen nodded, "However, no." He smiled bitterly again, "First, it is very difficult for the seriously injured brothers to make it to the mountain without medicine. Second, if our goal is too big, it is easy to spot. If you enter the mountain like this, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep the Hanging City. Third, if we don't fight, Qianyu will definitely keep blocking the pharmacy, which will cut off the life of many people. ”
Seeing that Lao Xia and the other brothers were all lost in thought, he stopped, and waited for them to think for a while before continuing, "I have thought about it, now in order to find us, the guards and masters of the Martial Sect are scattered, and the combat power is not concentrated. If you plan well, you may not be able to succeed. He picked up the branch and drew it on the ground, "I am best suited to do this by a group of men who cause a commotion at the city gate and draw the troops from the city out." After all, I'm the main culprit they want to catch. Another group of men and horses took advantage of the chaos to rush into the city, and after snatching the medicine, they fled through the other gates and hurried back. The wounded soldiers here were divided into groups of three, one lightly wounded and two more seriously wounded. Take the herbs and immediately disperse into the mountains. After that, it's good to slowly retreat towards the Hanging City. I can trust in your ability to live in the mountains. ”
"Let me go with you to the city gate!" Lao Xia nodded, but he added firmly.
"Then who will bring the soldiers of the medicine snatching team?" Wang Chen asked gently, "There is also the distribution of medicinal materials after returning, you are most familiar with the brothers of the Hanging Alliance, these things cannot be handed over to others." ”
"But your hurt ???" Lao Xia asked hesitantly.
Wang Chen waved his hand, stood up and jumped a few times, "It's good morning, it's okay." ”
Lao Xia looked at him in surprise, and looked at him carefully a few times, until Wang Chen condensed the Gengjin Sword with a "poof", and then hurriedly surrendered his hand and beckoned the brothers to arrange the task. Wang Chen looked at Lao Xia's back, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground holding his stomach. He gasped for breath several times before he suppressed the pain in his body.
"Brother Chen!" Li Shu grabbed his arm in a panic and shouted.
"Don't tell them they've had a bad stomach in the past two days. Wang Chen turned his head and smiled.
Li Su looked at his serious expression, almost burst into tears, eating a bad stomach, such an excuse at most deceived Yan Hou, okay? But this is what he must do, he can't let him give up his responsibility because he is distressed, it is better to believe him. Li Shu gently held him in his arms, and just wanted to speak, but Wang Chen stretched out his hand and gagged him.
"You can't come with me. As soon as he opened his mouth, he struck Li Shu's heart, "Taking care of the wounded soldiers these days, you know their injuries and medicines best, you have to stay here and distribute each medicine to everyone." Don't let them die again, okay?" His eyes were as gentle as ever.
Li Su didn't say more, she just leaned her head gently towards Wang Chen and touched his cold forehead, "Well, I'll wait for you to come back." ”
