Suddenly there was a burst of crying from a child, and then it stopped again within a few moments.
Wen Wu covered his head, his head buzzing. He thought he just took a job casually, but he knew that raising a baby was more painful than treating illnesses and saving people. He cried when he was hungry, cried when he peed, and cried when he pooped. His head was filled with tears.
He was going to explode. In order not to disturb others, he didn't sleep a wink all night. He kept hot tea, milk and dry cloth ready at all times, and checked every half an hour...
No wonder children are called ancestors.
Wen Wu finally understood, but it was too late. He checked the woman's condition, changed the medicine, and saw that the child was sleeping soundly. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and got out of the car to take a rest.
Moli Moli was patrolling nearby, and when she saw him, she did not hide the expression of gloating on her face.
Xingmin moved his body in the open space, stretching his fists and legs leisurely. He had experience, so he just slipped away last night and set up a tent nearby. It seemed that he slept quite well.
Wen Wu let out a long yawn and exhaled a stream of white mist.
Xingmin couldn't help laughing, "Haha——"
"You already knew that, right?"
"Of course not, I just felt that the carriage was too crowded." Xingmin looked serious and denied it righteously.
"hehe."
"Hey, let me tell you, if the mother and son are no longer in serious trouble, why don't we hand them over to Lieutenant Li? It's still a little inconvenient for us two grown men to take care of a woman and a child."
"We'll talk about it after everyone wakes up." Wen Wu scratched his head. That night, his neat hair almost turned into a chicken coop for him.
"I have no objection."
Xingmin shrugged and snickered twice.
Wen Wu rolled his eyes, sat down next to the lit fire, and stretched out his hands to warm himself.
At this time, the early risers in the motorcade were already busy, such as the cook accompanying the team, who was already preparing breakfast. The smoke from the kitchen was curling up, giving the mountains a little more smoke and smoke.
"morning--"
Li Kuang and several people passed by for inspection, but they didn't dare to get close and only said hello from a distance.
Wen Wu raised his hand in response, feeling a little sleepy. He hadn't done this for a long time since he learned to meditate, and suddenly he felt that being a child was too scary.
After Xingmin finished his morning exercise, he came over and said, "This Lieutenant Li is quite capable of doing things."
"Well, indeed."
"It's a pity that it's Gong Yunfei's person, otherwise, I really want to poach him and use him."
"Why can't his people be dug up?"
"We're familiar, sorry." Xingmin sat down and smiled.
"An acquaintance? I think he's not much older than you, right?"
In Wen Wu's memory, Gong Yunfei was a little older than Qu Hong, probably between thirty-seven and forty. And Xingmin, judging from official information, was already close to thirty.
Xingmin smiled and said: "Isn't it strange? When I joined the army at the same age, he was still serving as a military commander in the military department, so if we really want to count, he was once my superior."
"Oh? He was the one you mentioned about Taiming Mansion?"
"It's not that he asked for it himself. He is a member of the Taiming Prefecture. It is said that he was a personal guard of the Taiming Prefecture Yin when he was young, and it was the Taiming Prefecture Yin who recommended him to join the military department. He can be regarded as a young and promising person." After a pause,
Xingmin suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of the former Taiming Palace Governor, I remember that he also had the surname Wen?"
"have no idea."
"Heh, I don't hear much about my surname. Maybe it's related to you." Xing Ming joked.
"It's too high to reach." Wen Wu disagreed, and then signaled to Xingmin that it was time to change the medicine, "Remember to pick up the prescription I gave you the night before. The medicine I prepared is only enough for the last dose."
"Oh, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. Don't worry, Jasmine is ready and will get back to you."
Xingmin agreed and continued to talk about the previous topic, "There is no such thing as being too high. He is just a down-and-out former nobleman who was deposed and had his family confiscated. He must have lost his family a long time ago. Alas, speaking of it, it is quite resentful..."
"oh."
Wen Wu responded perfunctorily.
The more Xingmin talked, the more interested he became, and he went on to talk about a lot of old stories. He also commented on the impermanence of the world and criticized the serious internal fighting and cruelty in the court.
Wen Wu had no interest in this and felt like yawning. Fortunately, time did not allow Xingmin to say more. When the sky dawned, the convoy simply reorganized and set off again.
In the mountains, official roads lead into the mountain gorges.
The patrol team in front came back and reported that the road conditions were good, and then the military convoy escorting Sui Gong took the lead. The sky was clear, and the mountain gorge in the shape of an inverted 'eight' seemed still empty.
“So quiet.”
After being bored, Wen Wu and Xing Min climbed up to the roof of the car and admired the Guangxing mountains after snow. Looking at the green and pale scenes along the way, Wen Wu frowned slightly, as if a little suspicious.
Xingmin, on the other hand, relaxed and leaned against the railing, "Wouldn't you be quieter?"
"Do you know the time-calling bird?"
"What?"
"Forget it." Wen Wu didn't bother to explain.
"Is there any connection?"
"It stands to reason..."
"Wow, wow--"
The sudden cry interrupted the conversation between the two.
Cover your forehead when you hear it.
Xingmin is happy, "Hahaha——, I'm looking for you."
Wenwu was speechless and choked, but he had no choice but to come down and check.
Moli Moli rode with her and laughed mercilessly, "You deserve it."
In the carriage, the child's cries became louder and louder. I don't know if he was hungry or something else. While crying, he moved restlessly with his hands and feet and kicked away the blankets.
When Wen Wu came in and took a look, his nose choked, and he smiled bitterly. But after leaving for a short while, Baba unzipped his trouser pockets, and the smell filled the narrow carriage, which was quite sour.
"I'm convinced by you."
Holding his breath, Wen Wu pulled the blanket away, and just as he was about to reach out, he was suddenly stopped again.
The woman is opening her eyes.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then the woman jumped up, curled up her feet and kicked Wen Wu's face fiercely with all her strength.
Wen Wu moved his hand horizontally to block it.
A 'bang' sound.
The curtain of the carriage flew away. Due to his unpreparedness and lack of effort, Wen Wu was kicked and jumped out of the moving carriage. After landing, he staggered back two steps in embarrassment.
The sudden turn of events surprised everyone.
"Scared——"
Moli Moli reacted quickly and drew her sword with a backhand. Several guards came around, some with bows and arrows, some with swords and guns, and they immediately surrounded the carriage.
The coachman realized it later and hurriedly reined in the horse and stopped, "Oh——"
The entire convoy was in panic and then stopped.
"What's going on?"
Li Kuang rushed over in a hurry. However, before his front legs could reach him, Xingmin on the roof of the car waved his hand, signaling him to go to the back to direct the convoy. Li Kuang had no choice but to run over again.
Wen Wu shook his numb hands and cursed, "You're quite energetic. It seems like you're recovering well."
At this time, the woman hugged the child tightly and had climbed to the door of the carriage. Seeing the scene in front of her, she was startled with an expression of panic, anger, and fear, and then stopped.
Wen Wu patted his sleeves and walked forward, "Don't panic. We are a caravan heading north. We found you on the road. You are safe now."
After hearing this, the woman's eyes were a little blank. Then, she saw the sword, gun, and arrow pointed at her in front of her. She seemed to finally have some understanding and what she wanted to say, and her lips twitched.
After Wen Wu returned to the carriage, he advised: "Don't worry, although I don't know what you have gone through, but your body is still very weak now and you need to rest quietly..."
The woman looked at him and shook her head repeatedly, "No..."
"Um?"
"No, no, there is, there is an ambush, go, get out of here, go..." As she murmured, the woman shook her head faster and faster, hugged the child tightly, and climbed down a little crazy.
Wen Wu frowned, "You..."
Xingmin hung upside down from above, taking advantage of the woman's unpreparedness, and knocked her unconscious with a click of his knife.
Wen Wu quickly stepped forward to help him.
Xingmin tilted his head and said, "She's like this. It's useless for you to say anything. Let her sleep for another day before talking."
"Um."
Wen Wu nodded in agreement, got on the carriage, and took the woman and the child back to the carriage.
Xingmin patted the carriage beam and said, "Master, let's go." After that, he waved to Moli Moli and several subordinates, "Put them away. Don't be surprised by anything."
"yes."
Moli Moli curled her lips, sheathed the knife, and then glanced at the carriage and whispered, "Unlucky guy, just looking for trouble."
At this point, this little episode came to an end, and the team set off again. However, although it was only delayed for a short time, the team was still a little behind, and was separated from the front.
After a while, Wen Wu came out of the carriage and took a long breath.
"How about it?"
Xingmin tilted his head and asked him.
Wen Wu breathed in the cool fresh air and felt like he was finally alive. "I gave her some soothing medicine, which was enough for her to sleep for a few hours."
"Oh, that's good."
"Would you like to go in and take a rest?"
"No need to talk." Xingmin rolled his eyes and asked again: "What was that woman talking about just now? Ambush?"
"Really?"
Because of the accent, Wen Wu heard "bury the rich", so he wasn't sure.
Xingmin chewed dried Huangpa fruits, looked at the mountain gorges on both sides, and found a topic, "However, when it comes to ambush, this is indeed a good place, and it is worthy of being an important place for military strategists."
"Um."
"Test you, if we were an army and you were the enemy and wanted to ambush us here, what would you do?" Xingmin handed over the dried fruits.
"I don't know." Wen Wu ate the dried fruit. Although he shook his head, he still looked around.
"Let's talk about it casually and discuss it."
"Occupy the high point and attack with bows and arrows, rolling stones, and fire oil." Wen Wu thought about it and said.
"Yeah, it's a very conventional method."
"Isn't it possible?"
"Not really, it's just that you see, this place is obviously not narrow enough to be locked up. If you encounter a well-trained army, you will have enough time to escape from the front and rear."
"Then arrange an interception on both sides."
"Well, that's right, but there is a way that is easier." Xingmin pointed to the front and back and said: "Blow up the front and back mountainside directly, and block both ends, making it difficult for you to fly."
Wen Wu rolled his eyes, "Then you can just blow up the dam upstream."
Snap.
Xingmin snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "You are quite good at this, aren't you? But have you ever thought about it? The upstream is several miles away from here. If you just blow up the upstream, it won't work..."
boom--
The earth trembled and the mountains shook.
Wen Wu and Xingmin felt a violent earthquake. Not only the carriage, but also the air was shaking. Looking back, they saw a hundred feet away from the back, half of the valley cracked and collapsed with the explosion.
The wind pressure caused by the violent vibration blew across, and the sky was full of wind and snow.
Long——
Like a muffled thunder, another loud noise came from several miles away. Like thousands of horses galloping, the mountains trembled, and even the earth trembled.
Wenwu and Xingmin came to their senses and looked at each other.
