Chapter 1017 Water Defense Battle ([-])

Qian Yimao and his soldiers chased him for a day, but he didn't catch anyone, but he found some disturbing clues. Judging from the traces, the group of refugees who didn't know the exact number dispersed, and the clear footprints that could be found on the ground showed that they were constantly Someone is going in a different direction.

Just to track down these traces, Qian Yimao sent out half of the soldiers he brought along in small groups to follow them separately. In the evening, he waited for the soldiers to come back to gather at the place where he went ashore in the morning, and judged from the clues they brought back that the refugees were roughly divided. There are two directions, one is to find nearby villages, and the other is to go over the mountains to Erma Town.

The soldiers didn't catch anyone, they chased the traces only halfway and then returned, otherwise they would have to spend the night in the open air, but the clues gathered can be considered to be there, as long as these two directions can't be wrong, if you find them after climbing over the mountain The wrong way to Erma Town, the worst is to go to the beach.

After Qian Yimao returned to the camp, he discussed with his deputy and planned to go straight to the village tomorrow.

"The refugees have at most some dry food on them. They can't stay in the wild, and they must be looking for a place to shelter temporarily. It's too difficult to climb the mountain. We don't care about those who go there, and chase those who are going to the village first."

"Okay, they are two days faster than us. If everything goes well, they may have found the villagers. I hope they will harm a village if they want to, and don't involve too many people."

"Think about it. Generally, villagers are always wary of strangers, and they can't hurt too many people." The deputy patted Qian Yimao on the shoulder, "Let's eat, the adults sent a boat to deliver things, and Qi Ke will deliver them." I bought some fresh vegetables and clean water, and we had a meal at noon, which was specially reserved for you, otherwise the vegetables would have been gone."

"Green leafy vegetables? Fresh ones? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Qian Yimao threw down his deputy and ran to the camp where the cooking was done. Having a mouthful of emerald green vegetables in winter is worth a fortune.

The deputy followed behind with a smile, "Qi Ke sent a message, saying that the water here is not clean. Every day, she prepares water bags and sends them by boat with the wind. Let us eat, drink and wash with water from the bags, and don't fetch water from the river. use."

Qian Yimao, who was already standing by the soup pot waiting for a bowl of assorted vegetable soup, nodded very vigorously, "Qi Ke is still careful, and she is not too troublesome, and it is tiring to fill so many water bladders every day. Tell everyone Is it? Instead of fetching water from the river, use the water from the bag?"

"I've said it before, the half of the people who are going with you will talk about it again when they have dinner, and everyone will tell each other."

After dinner, Qian Yimao wrote the letter to Qianhusuo. After a tiring day, he rested early. The next morning he continued to take half of the soldiers across the river to find the village. The ship of supplies delivers things.

This time, after clearing the goal, I ran down one day and successfully picked up several refugees who were frozen to death or half-frozen. The thin clothes could not withstand the biting cold of winter nights, and what happened was predictable.

Whether it was frozen to death or half-frozen, the officers and soldiers ignored them, let alone offered a helping hand. They took a second look to confirm the situation and then walked away, fearing that if they touched them, they would be sick to themselves.

After verifying the speculation that the refugees were indeed looking for the village, Bai Jiajun had no time to wait for these refugees to freeze to death. What everyone was more worried about was that the refugees who already had better physical strength mixed into the village and passed on their diseases to others, so After finding the first village, the village head was called to inquire about the situation, and asked him to check the strangers who had appeared in the village in recent days.
