Although it seemed like his life was hanging by a thread, the little guy was actually frozen and in a state similar to suspended animation.
Wenwu first put him next to the copper stove to keep him warm. After his body became warm and soft, he then carefully massaged his heart veins with energy. Soon he was back to life and started crying. Wenwu was already prepared.
I prepared a small bag of tea milk in advance, added some folk remedies to dispel cold and wind, and when he started crying, I stuffed the bag into his mouth to stop him.
However, the little guy was a little resistant because it probably tasted wrong, but when Wen Wu put him back next to the woman, he calmed down and grabbed the bag with his little hand and started drinking.
Xingmin was a little angry, "Those two quack doctors."
"It's not entirely their fault. Difficult and complicated diseases are not within their capabilities."
"But is it okay to disregard human lives like this? They said a few words easily, but they actually cost two lives!"
"What else? Life, old age, illness and death are all inseparable from medical treatment. Ordinary people have no money and no one. Whether they can survive depends on luck." Wen Wu disagreed and boiled a pot of water again.
"this……"
"If I really want to blame it, I can only blame the government for closing down schools and cutting off the avenues for further study. If there were hundreds of millions of scholars in the world, how could these half-hearted country men be allowed to come out and cheat?" Wen Wu said calmly.
Although the Daxing Dynasty did not explicitly prohibit ordinary people from studying in law, the actual admission threshold was quite high, which was equivalent to shutting out the common people. For example, the school where Wen Wu attended before had only a few dozen students every year, but even
That's right, there are only a few people among them who can be admitted to the government academy.
Xingmin was speechless. He looked at the calm Wen Wu, his eyes flickered slightly, he paused for a long time, and then he warned seriously: "Wen Wu, you can't say these words in front of me."
Yes, you can’t talk casually when you’re outside. Especially when you’re in Xingdu, you have to be careful with your words and actions, and don’t trust others easily, lest disaster comes from your mouth!”
Wen Wu smiled at him, "I'm not stupid."
Xingmin was startled, and then he couldn't laugh or cry, "You kid-" After a short pause, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "Oh, who would believe you when I said you were sixteen years old?"
Wen Wu was noncommittal and asked: "What should we do when we are sixteen? Young and ignorant? Young and energetic?"
"Uh, maybe?"
"Who stipulated it?" Wen Wu asked seriously.
"Here, you are asking me now." Xingmin felt pain in his head and smiled bitterly, "A child before ten, a weak leader at twenty, standing at thirty, and no confusion at forty. Who else needs to stipulate the ancient teachings of our predecessors?"
"Yeah?"
Wen Wu stopped talking, but his expression disagreed. While he was talking, he checked the woman's condition and found that her breath had gradually stabilized, and then he felt relieved. As for the little guy, he was probably hungry and tired, so he drank heavily.
After finishing the tea and milk, he fell asleep. Wen Wu took the tea bag away and covered him with a blanket.
"But..." Xingmin looked at his every move with a strange look on his face, and couldn't help but muttered, "It probably only applies to mortals."
"ah?"
"nothing."
Looking out the window, Xingmin changed the subject, "Oh, we've arrived at Shuanghe Gorge so soon."
When I heard it, I felt a sudden change in my heart.
The so-called Shuanghe Gorge is a canyon formed by a river flowing from west to east in the Guangxing Mountains. Before the official road was connected, it was originally called Shuangzi River.
However, it would be more appropriate to call it ‘Shan Zihe’ now…
The original Shuangzi River was roughly in the shape of a '丄'. The big river in the far west merged from the west, and then split into two in the Guangxing Mountains, flowing northward and upward towards the rivers and rivers, and continuing to the east and right across Guangxing.
The mountain range reaches Xinqingfu. Because there are two branches, it is called "Twin Rivers". However, the construction of the official road broke this pattern. Since the official road goes north, it is blocked by the horizontal tributaries, so
The government built a dam on the upper reaches of the Henghe River, directly cutting it off.
The current river gorge actually only has one river leading to Jiangchuan, but the old river channel dried up and became a long gorge, hence the name Shuanghe Gorge.
As for why it is necessary to spend so much time to intercept the river instead of building a bridge, that is another matter. But in short, it is probably that 1. the rivers are short of water, 2. the cross-flow water volume is small, and the project is relatively small, but the water flows from the Guangxing Mountains.
When we arrived at Xinqingfu, there was only a trickle of water left, which was not necessary. Moreover, Xinqingfu and Linhaifu were adjacent, so there was no shortage of water.
Wenwu breathed a sigh of relief and finally saw the end. Arriving at Shuanghe Gorge meant that he had completed two-thirds of the Guangxing mountain section. It could take as fast as one day or as slow as two days to reach Sanfu Town. From Sanfu Town
Further north from Fuzhen is Zhongzhong Changting. Then there will be a broad road leading to Changmen, not far from the destination of Xingdu.
However, before that, the team has to rest for a night.
"After passing Shuanghe Gorge, the road behind will be easy to walk."
Later in the evening, Wen Wu and Xingmin got out of the carriage and took a walk to get some fresh air. Xingmin walked in front, walking on the snow to the hill, looking at the dim lights ahead.
"Yeah." Wen Wu didn't understand the road conditions at all and responded casually.
"What? I just saw you looking worried. What are you thinking about? Can you tell me?" Xingmin stretched his body, punched twice, and rolled up a snowstorm. He was a little surprised.
Due to the speed of recovery from the injury, you must know that last night it was still difficult for him to even lift one of his hands, let alone use force.
Wen Wu shook his head, and then replied without a clue, "Did you hear that?"
"ah?"
"The sound of the night crow."
"Really? Why can't I hear you?"
Weird people, such as Wen Wu's teacher Qu Hong, also have unpredictable temperaments, which can be said to be from the same strain.
Moli Jasmine followed behind, muttering in a broken voice, "You are sick, why are you pretending to be serious..."
Wenwu looked towards the upper reaches of Shuanghe Gorge, thoughtfully.
Logically speaking, the Shuanghe Gorge is an important fortification, and the military attaches great importance to it. Sentries have been set up on the upper, middle, and lower sections of the official road in the river gorge, and each location is heavily guarded.
The current position of the convoy is at the lower entrance of the river gorge, with Sui Gong walking in front and stopping at the sentry post.
Wen Wu thought about it and felt that he had thought too much.
"Quack——"
Not far away, more than ten miles away, a crow with black feathers and red beak fluttered its wings, flew through the semi-dark air, and landed on the tree branch. "Gu——", the whole tree was filled with darkness.
The lights at the sentry post were still on, and everything looked like normal.
"Move quickly!"
Suddenly, someone urged in a lowered voice.
Plop.
Dozens of corpses were thrown into the river one after another, causing water to splash in all directions.
"Gu——"
As night fell, tens of thousands of pairs of red lights flashed on the trees along the river, like countless coveting ghost eyes.
