Chapter 033: The Barbarian of the West Plough

Bai An and the man in the green robe who was rescued from under the snow pit were both injured, and it was reasonable that returning to Jinlin Beach was the best option. But Shu Mei insisted on rushing to the town in front, saying that the town had the grain, grass and medicine she had stored. Song You had been silent, he knew better than anyone else that if these two wounded and sick were brought back to Jinlin Beach, it would be worse for the camp where medicine and supplies were in short supply.

Fortunately, when the group sorted out the car and rode on the road, the wind and snow actually stopped.

In the evening, everyone rushed to Caopozi Town, which was closest to Anyuan. The only tea hotel in the town of more than 100 households is the shop where Shu Mei stored supplies before.

After entering the inn and settling down, Bai An re-cleaned and bandaged the wounds on his head and face in front of the bronze mirror, and then carefully examined the body of the blue-robed man. Except for the two knife wounds on the palm of his right hand, which were deep to the metacarpal bones, the rest were only some superficial injuries caused by running and scraping in the woods on a snowy night, and there was no danger of life.

"You said in the snow pit that he wasn't seriously injured, why didn't he wake up all the way?" Looking at the unconscious man on the bed, Shu frowned.

"He wasn't seriously injured, but he froze after falling into a snow pit." Bai An gritted his teeth and finished stitching the wound that was deep in the palm of the blue-robed man's palm, and he was sweating profusely.

"What's wrong with you?" When Shu Mei was covering the quilt for the man in the green robe, he noticed that Bai An's hand on the medicine powder was trembling.

"I'm a little tired, you can help him bandage it, and I'll go back to the room and lie down for a while." Bai An raised his arm to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, handed the cotton cloth in his hand to Shu Mei, and staggered out.

"Are you alright?" Shu Mei got up and asked.

"I'm a doctor, how can something happen?" Bai An didn't reply.

Shu frowned for a moment, and then buried his head in bandaging the wound in the palm of the blue-robed man. I saw two wounds on the man's right hand running across the palm, about an inch apart, showing a slight arc. These two wounds were probably caused by his bare grip on the blade with his bare hands, and judging from the arc, it was most likely a scimitar!

Scimitar, could it be that the West Ploughman did it?! An image flashed through her mind.

Shu Mei tied the cotton cloth tightly in two or two, put his hand into the quilt, and got up and went to Song You's room next door. I knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered the door, and it seemed that he was not in the room. Shu Mei thought for a moment, and then walked towards Bai An's room.

"Master Song, you are ......"

The door was ajar, and when Shu Mei walked to the door, Song You was pressing a red-hot soldering iron to Bai An's body. The "snort" sound when the soldering iron came into contact with the flesh and blood, the burnt smell that instantly filled the room, and the pain sound made by Bai An biting the cloth towel, made Shu Mei, who suddenly witnessed this scene, almost unsteady on his feet.

"Scares you, huh? Blame me for not paying attention before, my calf is still bleeding all the time. The doctor does not treat himself, and it is inconvenient for me to cut and suture by myself, so I can only ask Song Ye to help me cauterize the wound to stop the bleeding. Bai An took off the cloth towel in his mouth, and squeezed out a smile on the bandaged half of his face, but the smile was a little terrified by the pain.

Shu Mei looked at Bai An and slowly bit his lip. If he hadn't insisted on coming to Caopozi Town, he would have rushed back to the Jinlintan camp, where there were always other military doctors who could help him treat him......

"Is the county lord Shu here to find Dr. Bai?" There was only Bai An in the house, and Song You called her identity.

Shu Mei's eyes had been staring at Bai An's bloody leg since she entered the door, and it wasn't until Song You asked that she suddenly raised her head and said, "I...... I'm here to find you Song Junye. ”

"The county lord of Shu has something to say." Song You took away the soldering iron, which was still red, and threw it into the wooden bucket full of water next to the bed, and a thick white mist rose in the room.

"The son we rescued may have met the West Plough Barbarian."

"West Plough Barbarian?!" Song You, who was picking up the porcelain medicine bottle to give Bai An medicine, paused, and Rufeng's thick eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

Shu Mei nodded, "I see the wound on his palm, which seems to be caused by the scimitar of the western plough." He braved the snow to flee in the forest, presumably to escape the pursuit of the barbarians of the western plough......"

"How dare the barbarians come here, it's so close to Jinlin Beach?" Bai An on the bed wondered.

Song You slapped his head violently, "Oops! Before the Lord of Shu County......"

"Those Grain and Grass !!" Shu Mei also remembered for a moment the dozen or so truckloads of grain and grass he had deposited here.

Song You's face changed instantly, he dropped the medicine bottle in his hand, strode towards the door, and when he arrived at the door, he turned back and said, "The grain and grass have to be transferred immediately!" Lord Shu, Dr. Bai asks you to take care of it! ”

The sound of Song You summoning the soldiers to assemble urgently quickly sounded outside the door.

Shu Mei chased him out of the door, and watched the soldiers run out of their respective resting rooms, carrying swords and tying armor while running, and his heart became nervous. There were twelve soldiers brought by Song You to escort her, and there were only about forty drivers who drove the car, and everyone had been tired all day on the way to the snow. If you escort the grain and grass away at this time, and meet the barbarians of the western plough in the black light, you are afraid of ......

"Master Song, at this time, will the movement be too big when the grain and grass are transported......" Shu Mei felt that something was wrong, and immediately chased downstairs. After all, she personally planned to buy these grains and grasses, and personally escorted them all the way from Yongding with her grandfather on her back. The most important thing is: these grains and grasses are urgently needed by Brother Ling Li's Zhenxi Camp at the moment!

"I'm afraid that this batch of grain and grass has long been targeted by the Xili barbarians, and if it is not transported away immediately, it will definitely harm the entire town!" Song You beckoned the soldiers to light torches and drive horses and carts, while explaining to Shu Mei.

"You mean, you don't want this grain and grass anymore?" Shu Mei's eyes widened.

"No, no, we will transport the grain and grass in the direction of Anyuan, and if we are lucky, we can rush to the city before the barbarians arrive......"

"And what about bad luck?" Shu Mei asked.

"If we're unlucky, we'll fight them to the death outside the town......"

"Can't we find a place to hide the grain and grass?" Shu Mei hurriedly said, "My father has been guarding Anyuan for many years, in order to prevent barbarians from plundering the city and grabbing grain, it is stipulated that villages and towns with a population of more than 50 must dig tunnels when farmers are slack......

"Caopozi Town is more than 80 miles away from Jinlin Beach and less than 20 miles away from Anyuan City. Transporting grain and grass back to Anyuan is the best way at present. An unsteady voice came from behind Shu Mei. Shu Mei and Song You turned their heads, and saw a thin man leaning on the wooden railing on the second floor of the tea inn.

If you look closely, you can see that the man who was rescued from the snow pit!

"Did you meet a brute yesterday?" Song You raised his head and asked.

"Exactly. Yesterday, I was in the town and I came across a spy plotting to rob the grain. A total of three of them infiltrated, and two of them returned to Wuhualing to spread the message, leaving one of the squatting points to be solved by me......"

Hearing this, Shu Mei interjected and asked, "After you solved the barbarians who were squatting, you rushed to Jinlintan overnight to report the news?" ”

"Yes, it's a pity that the wind and snow in the second half of the night were too strong, and I lost my horse, not to mention, I even stumbled and fell into the trap......"

"The Wuhualing where Shen Shi went yesterday, I'm afraid that the barbarians are about to arrive?" Song You pinched his fingers, and immediately turned around and ordered the soldiers who were busy loading, "Everyone hurry up, we must set off immediately!" Zhao Kui, you rode my horse and went to Anyuan for help first! ”

The soldier named Zhao Kui responded loudly, then turned over and rode out of the wooden fence of the tea shop.
