Chapter 450: Gaining Respite
The converging army did not dare to stop for half a moment, and ran all the way to the west, until it was dark, everyone thought that a certain safe distance had been opened from the Tartars, and Lu Hanqiang and other brothers, who had been exhausted from several battles, were taken by Chen Liang to a place called Xiaoxiwa for necessary repairs. Nature's Sounds
Xiaoxiwa, is a remnant tribe that Chen Liang met when he came, this place is leeward, the most important thing is that there are a few hot springs here, so Chen Liang killed the tribe that hid in Maodong here, left their tent supplies, and prepared himself as a resting place on the return trip, but he didn't expect to use it so quickly.
Sitting in a warm tent, roasting the charcoal fire brought by Chen Liang, the casserole on the fire was tumbling with cooked mutton, and the little fat man leaned over and asked Chen Liang: "Is there rabbit meat, I'm hungry for that thing." Then he looked at the tumbling lamb: "I'm sick of this thing, and I don't want to eat it again." ”
Chen Liang was very disdainful, and when this guy saw rabbit meat, he always seemed to say so. But now is not the time to care about this, so he took out a rabbit leg from his arms like a trick, and the little fat man looked at the special color, and knew that this was an authentic Ping 6 specialty, authentic goods.
The little fat man took it in his hand, and after carefully studying it for a while, he changed his habit of gobbling up everything he usually eats - he will go down and pull it half in one bite, and then chew it slowly, taste it slowly, and sigh from time to time, there is a taste of home.
Ignoring the intoxicated little fat buddy, Chen Liang took out a small bag of tea in his arms like a trick, and prepared to make a pot of tea for the owner's brother.
Gao Xu, who was familiar with Chen Liang, snatched it up, put it under his nose and sniffed greedily, gently pinched it out, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, this is the taste of the Han people, long and long.
Chen Liang stomped his feet: "You are a fighter, what kind of taste do you know?" The good tea was fed to the donkey, so put it down quickly. ”
Gao Xu squinted his eyes and muttered: "Actually, drinking tea is the most intoxicating, it's all troublesome, this tea still tastes like chewing and eating." ’
Looking at the scoundrel-like Gao Xu, Zhou Chujun made a rare Sven sentence: "Insult Sven, insult Sven." Then he spit a mouthful of bloodshot thick phlegm on the ground unscrupulously, and stroked his snot on his hand.
So, the little fat man who was eating with relish retched for a while, and directly smashed the gnawed rabbit bones at Zhou Chujun: "You get out of here." ”
As a result, Zhou Chujun ran out with a smile, and outside, there were all his five hundred injured brothers to take care of.
The hot springs of the small stream are bubbling and flowing, and then a small Tan is formed not far away, bubbling white in the cold winter, smelling carefully, there is a faint smell of sulfur, experienced horse bandits know that this spring water has a huge miraculous effect on healing, so five hundred wounded brothers were forcibly stripped naked by other brothers, and were thrown into the hot springs with squeaks, and then a group of brothers also took off their naked stripes and jumped into the water, wiped the blood clots on the bodies of these brothers, and counted the wounds of swords and arrows on the warriors who survived hundreds of battles, There are constant exclamations: "My mother, there are more than 20 places, old brother, you are really fatal, this is not dead." ”
"God, you're so lucky, this shot is half an inch deeper, and you'll confess."
"Good man, just this depth, you definitely touched the nose of Lord Yama, hey, don't sleep, I'm really convinced of you, just this injury, are you still sleeping?"
Too tired, racing three thousand miles, fighting all the way and charging all the way, they haven't taken off their clothes, they haven't slept a single sleep, they live in tension every day, their nerves have been overwhelmed, at this time, in this warm spring, under the care of countless brothers, how can they not sleep peacefully?
One by one, the rough men gently carried the scrubbed brothers ashore, immediately moved into the warm tent, carefully applied gold medicine to each wound, and then covered the thick quilt, and did not forget to shake their heads gently: "It's bitter brothers." Then he exclaimed: "What a good man." ”
The tent was the property of the surviving tribes, and it was very dilapidated, and the strong northerly winds blowing from the north in winter put it in danger of collapsing at any time. But don't be picky, it's already a blessing for everyone to have such a tent.
"How did you get here?" Lu Hanqiang asked Chen Liang while changing the little guy's diaper.
The little guy left Lu Hanqiang's warm chest, and reluctantly, he opened his little arms, kicked his calves, and cried loudly in protest, but obviously this was just pretending, because she didn't have tears coming out, and stared at Lu Hanqiang with dark eyes, which were not so much crying as smiling.
Wang Jian limped and hurriedly took the hot diapers, and wrapped them up for the little guy who was much more skilled than Lu Hanqiang, he took care of his sister when he was a child, and this technique was more familiar than Lu Hanqiang.
The warm diaper made the little guy feel comfortable, so he stopped crying and gnawed his little fist at the mercy of Wang Jian.
Looking at Wang Jian's skillful technique, Lu Hanqiang hid to the side, and then waited for Chen Liang, who was fighting together, to answer his question.
"Big brother of the owner, I took your letter to the old lady home, and then escorted 100,000 silver to Jin Hengguang's cottage to recruit troops and horses, but that place is not suitable for producing horses and no horses, only donkeys, and it is difficult to say 5,000, even 500."
Lu Hanqiang smiled at this point, Shanxi produces donkeys, and is docile and durable, and walks smoothly, when he was not good at riding, everyone suggested that in the thousands of troops, his own coach would ride a donkey. Otherwise, Yao and the new old brother are the prefect of the Zhili Mansion, but it is not easy to sit in a sedan chair, but he specializes in riding a donkey.
Giving Lu Han a night of hot soup, Chen Liang continued: "So I threw away most of the silver and took a few intimate brothers directly back to my hometown Shuozhou in the northwest of Shanxi, which was connected to Mongolia and was originally an important place for the Ming Dynasty. It should also be the natural disasters of these years, everyone can't live, a little harder to persevere, or like me, fleeing from the wilderness, and those who can't become horse bandits, so I returned to my hometown, first greeted the original brothers in Zhuangzi, and also found some relatives who did not flee the wilderness, and then began to recruit those horse bandits in a radius of hundreds of miles in the vicinity under your banner, and the result was okay. ”
"You did a good job this time, I didn't expect you to have a little brain." Walking around on the ground with the child in his arms, coaxing the little guy to sleep, Lu Hanqiang praised Chen Liang.
In fact, what Chen Liang said was plain and simple, and it can be seen from his calm and resolute face that he has endured a lot of hardships in this so-called Zhao'an, and he doesn't know how many dangers he has encountered.
