Chapter 1145: Convoy
Li Ming slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying in a carriage, his body constantly shaking with the bumps of the wheels. He was placed on the edge of the carriage, next to a delicate wooden box. The wounds on his body were clearly bandaged, and his right leg was still tied with a wooden plank.
He forced his head up, looked around him, and saw that it was a convoy. There are also more than a dozen cavalry on both sides, looking at the costumes of these people are all officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the knights on the horses are also elite men.
After Li Ming fell into the river, he drifted all the way down the mountain with the water that sloped down the mountain, and then he didn't know anything.
At this time, there were bursts of severe pain all over his body, and this time the injury was serious enough, and it was really nine deaths. Now it seems that he must have been rescued, and he groped around his waist with his hand and was relieved to find that the pistol, paratrooper knife and first aid kit were there.
Li Ming took out a few pills from the first-aid kit on his waist and stuffed them into his mouth, took out another anesthetic and injected himself, then closed his eyes and quietly recuperated.
The most important thing now is to recover your strength as soon as possible and then find a way to get out of here. Looking at the neatly stacked wooden boxes on this carriage, it should be the convoy of the family of a certain official in the Ming Dynasty.
The convoy also suffered from last night's storm, and now the ground on the official road is very muddy, and the convoy is moving very slowly. And the temperature is also very low, and the cold wind is blowing, making it feel very humid and cold.
"Master Zhong, can that person survive......
Suddenly, Li Ming heard someone talking next to him, and his voice didn't sound very old.
"Hmph...... If you get hurt like that, you won't die......"
A person answered angrily, and then continued: "Now human life is as cheap as a dog, and in the past few years, there were dead people everywhere in the mountains and Shaanxi, this **** world." You can save a few more. That is, the young lady has a good heart and saves a person who is about to die, and I think that person has only one breath left, and he will die if he can't survive the night. By the way, you go and see, if that person dies, bury him. Save yourself from pulling a dead man all the way. ”
"Okay......"
Li Ming turned his head and saw a young Ming soldier wearing a shabby jacket and a childish face, riding to the side of the carriage, looking sideways, and found that Li Ming was tilting his head to look at him.
"Master Zhong...... Zhong Ye...... That man lived......"
A stout middle-aged man galloped over on horseback, his face was gloomy, and there was a scar on his face, which added a bit of fierceness. He looked at Li Ming gloomily. He sneered and said, "Boy, what do you do for a living?" ”
Li Ming smiled and said, "I'm a merchant, and I met a thief on the road......"
"You don't have any fucking nonsense, as long as you're still a businessman, when I'm a blind man...... Let's say, I used to eat food in the border town, or where did I go as a thief......"
Listening to the caste man's words, Li Ming was stunned for a moment.
"Lao Tzu has been a soldier for so many years. At first glance, you are an old soldier. Hum...... Don't be sloppy with me here. ”
Li Ming also smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, this guy on the other side must be a veteran ruffian who has been in the border army for many years. People have poisonous eyes. Now that it's been seen by others, don't pretend anymore.
"Brother, my brother has been in Guanning for a few days before......"
"Haha...... You have a Liaodong accent, I have long guessed it. When Lao Tzu was fighting in Liaodong and Dongyu, he really knew a few old brothers of the Liao army. Brother, how did you get mixed up like this bear......"
Li Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Hey...... It's hard to put into words...... Thank you, brother, for coming to the rescue. I'm thankful here. ”
"Don't thank me, Lao Tzu is not so kind, my young lady is kind-hearted, or you will confess this more than 100 catties...... Your kid's life is hard enough, you didn't even go to see Lord Yama after such a toss. ”
The young Ming Jun next to him also smiled and said, "I carried you up from the ditch." You can survive, and I also have my credit. ”
Li Mingchong arched his hand with a smile, but it touched the wound on his body, and he grinned in pain.
The middle-aged Ming Jun smiled, took out a piece of cake from the backpack on the horse, threw it to Li Ming, and then said: "You first pad hunger, it is your creation to survive, remember to burn more incense and worship the Buddha during the New Year's festival in the future, thank our young lady well......"
After he finished speaking, he turned his horse and left here, but the young man next to him didn't leave, he took out a water bladder and handed it to Li Ming.
"Big brother, let's drink saliva......"
Li Ming took the water bladder with a smile, smiled at the other party gratefully, and then picked up the water bladder and "Goodong...... "Knock ......" poured a few sips of water, then picked up the hard cake and ate it in a few bites.
He was indeed thirsty and hungry now, and after eating the bread and drinking some water, his physical condition suddenly recovered a lot.
The young Ming Jun was young and bored all the way, so he kept chatting with Li Ming, he didn't have any scheming, and a few words were tricked by Li Ming.
The middle-aged Ming army's name is Zhong Dahai, and the young one's name is Wang Sheng, and their hometowns are all from Hebei, and they are all border troops in Xuanfu Town. They are now the family members of a military general in the Xuanfu government, and this time they escorted the family members of the main family back to Beijing.
Their current location is the official road between Xuanhua and Huailai County, during this time the hundreds of thousands of thieves led by Li Zicheng, the "King of Chuang", entered Shanxi, and the general was worried that the thieves would take advantage of the situation to kill Xuanzhen, so he asked more than a dozen family members to escort his beloved daughter back to the capital.
Wang Sheng's father died in battle while cleaning up the thieves, and Wang Sheng's mother died of illness when he grew up, so he was also taken in by the general, who took over his father's class and became the general's family.
It was getting dark, and the convoy stopped to camp. More than a dozen Ming soldiers, several family members, and servant women got busy, set up a few tents, and fetched water and lit fires around to cook.
Li Ming took advantage of the busy time when the team camped relatively busy, he also checked his injuries, except for the broken right leg and ribs, the rest were external injuries, but there was no big problem. But now the wound has become inflamed, and the body has developed a fever.
Fortunately, the Far Eastern Company has equipped each internal employee with a personal field first-aid kit, which contains anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving injections and tablets, as well as various hemostatic and anti-inflammatory bandages and powders.
He endured the severe pain in his body, took off the first aid kit on his waist, first took out a few anti-inflammatory pills and stuffed them into his mouth, and then took out a disposable penicillin injection and injected one into himself.
He also tore open the place where the Ming army helped him bandage, and stuffed some anti-inflammatory and hemostatic bandages in the first aid kit of individual soldiers into the wound. Some of the more serious wounds are also sprinkled with anti-inflammatory hemostatic powder.
Li Ming grinned and finished his work, and most of his physical strength was consumed, and it also affected the wounds on his body, and the bursts of severe pain made him almost faint in pain, lying there panting. (To be continued.) )
