The land between the mountains is not flat land. The land can be reached in a blink of an eye. As night falls, Yan Wenzhao only knows the general direction. Everyone is groping for it. Chang Yu suddenly stops and asks Yan Wenzhao where the cave is.
When was it discovered?
Yan Wenzhao said that they accidentally discovered it while escaping from the pursuing soldiers in Henyang City and spent the night hiding there.
"There are many villages under the mountains that are less than twenty miles away from Heyang City. It can be said that there are thieves everywhere. Will the caves have been discovered by the thieves at this time? If they are discovered, they will be followed. Let's go there.
Aren’t you just throwing yourself into a trap?”
Everyone frowned, right?
"Even if there are people watching, there are only a few of them. Let's go and kill them. Didn't you say that you want to break in? Why are you so timid?" Qing Yi muttered, and Chang Yu suddenly felt ashamed: "What Taoist Master Qing Yi said is true, let's kill them."
Go over there."
"Qingyi, if the thief has an eyeliner, he will be watching in the dark. He will not alert us at all. He will wait for help to arrive before taking action. You know how many people there are at that time. If you want to kill, just kill him. If there are dozens
Hundreds of them, we can only run away." Kuang Ren shook his head and said with a smile. Qing Yi said oh, slightly embarrassed, but Chang Yu said: "Since Brother Yan can hide all night without being discovered, he must be very secretive.
Being discovered by thieves, besides, if they are discovered by them, they may not be able to mobilize hundreds of people in a short period of time. If there are few, it is hard to say who will kill whom. At worst, we can escape into the mountains at night to pursue their pursuit, Qing Yi said
Yes, once it comes, don’t be timid and just do it.”
After hearing this, everyone said: "Yes, fuck it, you've been holding your breath from hiding for the past few days."
Having said that, Chang Yu still asked Qing Yi and Wu Mushan to conduct reconnaissance first, while Kuang Ren followed Chang Yu and whispered: "Sir, is Yan Wenzhao suspicious? Is it possible that the thieves used a trick to lure us in?
"
Chang Yu smiled: "You are a little too nervous and are starting to become suspicious. Yan Wenzhao's identity and password are correct, and the injuries on his body are real. If we found it an hour or two late, he would have died of excessive blood loss or hypothermia.
Could it be that the thief is a man of God? If he had known where he was going in advance, he would have been able to spot him carefully."
Kuang Ren touched his head and said: "I am a little nervous in my humble position. Everything is surrounded by soldiers. It's strange. In the past, I didn't feel this way when I followed the master and fought with thousands of troops."
"On the battlefield, you rely on courage. Playing here is psychologically exciting." Chang Yu said with a smile. After a while, he saw Qing Yi running back: "We found the entrance to the cave. It is indeed hidden." He turned to look at Yan Wenzhao and whispered again.
: "There is a dead person inside, and he is also one of ours."
Yan Wenzhao heard it over there and couldn't help but sob softly: "It's Xiao Liuzi."
Xiao Liuzi was indeed young, fifteen or sixteen years younger than Chang Yu. Even though his body was stiff and white, he still had a childlike look on his face. After he and Yan Wenzhao escaped from Heyang City, they were chased by thieves and five of their companions were killed.
The two of them were left alone to survive in the cave, where their lives finally ended.
Yan Wenzhao cried so sadly that he did not dare to wail loudly. He covered his mouth and trembled all over. Everyone was silent. Chang Yu looked at the childish boy leaning on the wall of the cave and countless emotions poured into his heart. After a long time, he said: "Dig a hole and bury it."
”.
The hole was not deep, but the fire was twisted inside and could not be seen from the outside. Everyone gathered around the fire in silence. Chang Yu took a small wooden stick and scratched it on the ground. Qing Yi looked at it for a while and couldn't understand.
Dare to ask, get up and walk out of the cave.
"What are you going to do?" Kuang Ren asked casually,
"I'm very bored. Let's go outside and watch the wind." Qing Yi said and walked out quickly. Wu Mushan stood up and said, "I'll accompany you."
"No, no, I'll go by myself." Qing Yi waved her hand in a panic and refused.
"It's okay, I feel bored too..." Before Wu Mushan finished his words, Chang Yu smashed the wooden stick in his hand. Wang Fuchen grabbed Wu Mushan and said, "Why don't you have any eyesight?" Wu Mushan was a little confused: "
What's wrong with me? I just kindly stayed with her..." Suddenly he thought of something and sat down with an embarrassed look on his face.
Although Qing Yi is a monk, she is still a woman, and it will always be inconvenient to be with a bunch of big men.
There was no talk all night. In order to let the men have a good rest, Chang Yu and Qing Yi, two energetic men, stayed at the entrance of the cave and closed their eyes. The rest of them slept soundly inside. When it was dawn, Qing Yi slowly woke up, but Chang Yu was not there.
The person next to me was startled. He stood up and looked inside the cave. Everyone was still sleeping. Chang Yu was not there. He opened the vines and rocks at the entrance of the cave and got out. He saw Chang Yu looking outside the cave. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the cave.
I checked Yan Wenzhao's injuries inside, but found that something was very wrong. He had a fever, very hot!
Even Chang Yu was panicking now. He knew that having a fever these days, especially a high fever, was almost a dead end, and Yan Wenzhao might have contracted a high fever due to inflammation caused by improper wound treatment at the beginning, so he was afraid that the outcome would be worse.
He had been fine these past few days, but why did he suddenly have a fever? Looking at Yan Wenzhao, who had passed out from the fever and was scalding all over, everyone was anxious and confused. Qing Yi wiped away her tears: "Injured people are prone to fever.
I made soup for him the day before yesterday, but it was just an ordinary heat-clearing medicine that temporarily suppressed it. In addition, when he saw Xiao Liuzi's corpse yesterday, he was overly sad and had a fever... The shopkeeper, if he doesn't get treatment in time, he won't survive."
How to treat him? Tsing Yi's superb medical skills certainly have a way. Whether he can be saved or whether he can survive is another matter, but at present it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
"Yesterday I said that we had to force ourselves to break through, but I just said it casually. Today Yan Wenzhao pushed us to break through." Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Everyone could tell that they were about to go down the mountain.
Human life was at stake. Unless he had to carry it so hard over the mountains and ridges for several days, Yan Wenzhao could not be allowed to die. Although everyone knew that the odds were against him at this time, Chang Yu still had to fight and tried his best. The rest was
Leave it to God's will, and you will have a clear conscience even if you are unable to save your life.
Everyone ignored breakfast and hurried down the mountain carrying Yan Wenzhao. Chang Yu and Qing Yi went first to the nearest village below. At this time, it was just dawn and many people in the village had not gotten up. As soon as they approached the village, they heard the sound of dogs barking.
Chang Yu looked around at the entrance of the village and saw a house in the southwest with a large yard, so he and Qing Yi ran over. They waited under the wall without knocking. Chang Yu held Qing Yi and lifted it up violently, causing Qing Yi to turn over.
He jumped into the yard, the dog barked louder, and someone shouted: "Who, ah, who are you, you..."
The middle-aged man standing at the door of the room with his clothes on looked at the sharp sword in front of his eyes and did not dare to shout anymore: "Okay, good man, I have something to say..."
Qing Yi scolded: "Who is the hero?"
"Oh, female, female hero, please spare my life..." The man knelt down.
"Old Hu, who is so noisy?" There was a cough in the main room. A man opened the door and came out when he saw the scene in front of him. He felt a chill in his neck just as he was about to exclaim. Chang Yu whispered: "Is there any medicine at home?"
"Yes, I have money. I'll give it all to you. Please spare my life, good man..." The man's legs were sifted into chaff. When someone inside asked about the woman's scream, Chang Yu angrily shouted: "If you scream again, I will kill you all." The room suddenly became quiet.
, Qing Yi knocked the old Hu unconscious with one palm, and walked over: "Who wants money? Do you have any medicinal materials?"
"Yes, yes, there are a few wild ginseng..."
"Does it work?" Chang Yu asked Qing Yi.
"He will die faster if he eats it now, but it can be used to replenish his health later." Qingyi dragged the man into the house: "We don't want money or life, so we got some medicinal materials to save lives. One brother has a fever..."
"Hero, I'm not a doctor. If you are sick, go to the drugstore in town... Hey, you can also go to Old Man Sun in the south of the village. He is a barefoot doctor. Although his medical skills are not very good, he has medicinal materials at home..."
Before he finished speaking, Qing Yi knocked him unconscious with a palm, then pointed his sword at the woman in the room who had not yet gotten up: "Are there any rebels in the village?"
"There should be. I'm always mysterious and I don't know where I am." The woman hid in the bed and said. Qing Yi thought for a moment: "Don't say anything and pretend nothing happened, otherwise I will come back and kill you."
After that, he asked the old man Sun where he lived, then climbed over the wall and left. Chang Yu went to pick up Kuang Ren and the others, while Qing Yi went to the barefoot doctor's house alone.
When everyone carried Yan Wenzhao to a small private courtyard at the south end of the village, Qing Yi was boiling medicine inside. An old man in his fifties helped light the fire with a look of panic: "There are not enough medicines, so we can only cook them first. Wait for him."
Let’s go to the pharmacy in town after the fever has cooled down a bit.”
"I'm afraid I can't wait any longer. You write down the name of the medicine and I'll go to the town to catch it." Wang Fuchen said. Chang Yu nodded in agreement: "Don't cause trouble. Just come back after grabbing the medicine. If you encounter a thief, don't fight to lure us together."
them".
"Don't worry, shopkeeper." Wu Mushan patted his chest and went with him: "I'm not afraid even if I meet ten or eight people." Chang Yu smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if you meet ten or eight people, you won't be able to come back. Remember, don't
I want to fight..." As he said this, he suddenly frowned and saw Qing Yi, who was writing a prescription with a charcoal tip, suddenly shook his hand and dropped the charcoal pen to the ground. Looking at Yan Wenzhao next to him with tears streaming down his face, everyone felt bad.
, Chang Yu reached out and touched his posterior carotid artery, and found that he was dead.
