At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 139
Sure enough, there is a small pool in the valley, about Zhang Xu square, but not more than three feet deep. There is a mountain stream flowing into it. The surface of the pool is full of mottled landscapes, surrounded by chirping birds. If you don’t have to worry about the Goguryeo army searching for it at any time, this valley is a good place for quiet and leisure.

It is now the end of March in spring, and the weather is getting warmer. The clothes Dou Xianniang is wearing are still the thick clothes that Gao Bufan bought for her in Ji County last winter. After walking for a while, she is already sweating profusely. When I came to the pool, I couldn't help but rolled up my sleeves and soaked my hands comfortably in the clear water.

Dou Jiande himself was born with mud legs, so naturally he can't raise a lady. Dou Xianniang's ability to read and write is already very good, and she still needs to help with farm work, so her hands look a bit rough, but the position above the wrist is not. Bai Shengsheng, like a lotus root, is full of the breath of a young girl.

Gao Bufan squatted down next to Dou Xianniang, and took a water bag to help fill the water. Dou Xianniang glanced at the handsome side face of the former, and suddenly felt like a deer. The son was still dark, but after more than half a year, his lips turned red and his teeth were white. Even a woman like her was a little envious of her skin, so she couldn't help taking another sneak peek.

"Xian Niang, what's the matter? Is there something on my face?" Gao Bufan subconsciously touched his little white face and asked with a smile.

Immediately, Dou Xianniang's cheeks fluttered, and she giggled, "No, Xianniang just...just thinks Brother Gao looks really good-looking now." She blushed even more after speaking.

"Really? Could it be that I was ugly before?" Gao Bufan looked at his own reflection in the pool, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment, he seemed really handsome.

Dou Xianniang quickly said: "No, Brother Gao used to be very good-looking, but now he looks even better."

Gao Bufan stretched out his fingers and tapped the tip of Dou Xianniang's nose, and said with a smile, "Xianniang is also pretty."

Dou Xianniang is indeed very good-looking. Gao Bufan thinks she is a bit like the dumb Xiangling in the TV series Lou Meng, maybe because of the bright red beauty spot on the center of her eyebrows, so she is a bit preconceived.

Dou Xianniang's pretty face turned even redder. The young girl who had just opened her heart felt sweet. She lowered her head blushingly and filled the water bag silently. She was worried that Brother Gao would make further kisses, and also hoped that Brother Gao would be bolder. contradiction.

In this situation and the situation, if Gao Bufan is really a young man, he probably couldn't help but hug the shy and infinitely charming Dou Xianniang. It's just that he has a mature soul in his body, so he wouldn't be so anxious, but on the contrary Enjoy the atmosphere of this kind of slow cooking.

Soon, the water bladder was filled with water, and Gao Bufan did not take any further action. Dou Xianniang was relieved, but also a little disappointed, stood up and whispered: "Brother Gao, let's go back."

"Well, wait a minute." Gao Bufan picked up a stone and stared at the group of swimming fish in the pond. With a flick of his wrist, the stone shot out vigorously, and a swimming fish about two fingers wide flipped over on the spot. White belly surfaced.

Dou Xianniang couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she blurted out: "Brother Gao is so handsome."

Gao Bufan smiled, fished up the dead fish and said, "Go, let's go back."

The fish in this pool are very small, this one is already the biggest, only about two fingers wide, the others are about the same size as chopsticks, even if they catch all of them, there is no meat, so Gao Bufan didn't bother to waste his energy.

When the two returned to the small forest at the mouth of the valley, the villagers had already set up the iron pot and prepared the firewood, so they poured in the pool water and started to burn.When everyone saw the little fish in Gao Bufan's hands, they couldn't help swallowing, and some people's stomachs even gurgled.

Gao Bufan frowned and asked, "Uncle Han, how much food do you have left? Why are you all reincarnated like starving ghosts?"

Han Laoshi said with a bitter face: "There was no more food in Yalushui. These days, they were chased by Goguryeo soldiers. Everyone was hiding, and they didn't have time to go hunting and fishing. They only picked some wild vegetables and mulberries. Leaves fill the hunger, and I can't bear it anymore."

Liu Ying sighed and said: "The army was defeated like a mountain. At that time, everyone was only concerned about running for their lives. Remember to get food there. It would be good if you could save your life. Fortunately, Han Laoshi is a good hunter, and Han Laoshi is a good hunter along the way." I took everyone hunting and picking wild fruits and vegetables to survive. Although I was full and hungry, I would never starve to death. Thanks to Lao Han this time, otherwise all the folks who came out of Liu’an would have died. .”

After Liu Ying finished speaking, she couldn't help feeling sad. There were 68 militiamen recruited in Liu'an this time, and now there are only 35 people left. Nearly half of them are gone. Almost half of the remaining people are injured. Now they are trapped here. I don't know how many of them will be able to go home safely in the end.

At this time, all the villagers present gave Han Laoshi grateful eyes. The villagers in Liu'anli were all surnamed Liu and belonged to the same clan, except for Han Mancang, a family with a foreign surname, who was usually honest and honest, and no one took him seriously. I didn't expect to save everyone this time.

Facing everyone's grateful gazes, Han Laoshi seemed embarrassed and didn't know how to put his hands and feet. I really don't know how this guy got his beautiful wife.

Soon, the water in the iron pot boiled. Gao Bufan threw the dagger, gauze and other items into the pot, boiled, thoroughly sterilized, and then used the dagger to goug out all the rotten meat from Liu Wuhu's wound until he saw Don't stop until fresh flesh and blood.

After cleaning up the carrion, Gao Bufan took a fishbone of a moderate size from the fish, sterilized it with boiling water, and then began to sew up the wound. Only then did Xianniang Dou understand Gao Bufan's intention of killing a fish with a stone. But when she saw Gao Bufan using fishbone to sew Liu Wuhu's flesh, she couldn't help turning pale.

Everyone at the scene escaped from the bloody battlefield not long ago. They have all seen big scenes, but they were still stunned by Gao Bufan's actions. They still couldn't accept that the clothes were sewn together, but the key point was that Gao Bufan didn't even blink an eye during the whole process, so our Mr. Gao's handsome face seemed to become evil in the eyes of everyone.

Gao Bufan was a professional soldier in his previous life, and he had received battlefield first aid training, so he was able to do simple wound suturing. In modern hospitals, this method of suturing wounds is very common, but in ancient times where medicine was extremely backward and ghosts and gods were feared. It's a bit shocking.

Liu Wuhu was in a deep coma, and he didn't wake up from the pain during the whole operation. He only hummed a few times, but it was much easier. Alright, he breathed a sigh of relief, and while washing his hands in the bloody water in the pot, he said: "Okay, don't move the injured for now, so as not to tear the wound, and don't get wet, it's up to him whether he can live or not .”

All the villagers nodded their thanks one after another. Only then did Gao Bufan realize that everyone was looking at him strangely, but he had no time to think about it. Now he has a headache on how to bring these people back to Sui safely. If it’s just himself and Dou Xianniang, Naturally, there was no problem, but it would be difficult to take dozens of villagers across the Liaohe River, not to mention nearly half of them were injured, including Liu Wuhu who was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

At this time, Liu Gou'er, who had climbed up to the top of the tree to be on guard, slipped down and said solemnly, "No, there are Goguryeo soldiers coming towards the valley."

Everyone's face changed drastically when they heard the words. It was obvious that the fireworks rising from the boiling water just now alarmed the Gaogu soldiers who were searching nearby.

"How many people are there?" Gao Bufan asked calmly.

Liu Gou'er replied: "There are many, maybe one or two hundred, in short, there are more people than us, what should we do now?"

Everyone was even more panicked when they heard the words, Gao Bufan frowned, sure enough he was hairless and could not do things well, he jumped up the tree with a swiftness like a monkey, all the villagers were secretly speechless when they saw it.

Gao Bufan climbed to the top of the tree while he breathed, and looked down from a high position. Sure enough, he saw a group of Goguryeo soldiers running towards the valley. The number of them was about a hundred. It should be a centurion. Watching and detaining a group of Sui army prisoners, probably a hundred or so.

Although the number of these Sui army captives was no less than that of the Goguryeo soldiers escorted, they were all handed over at this time, and they were allowed to be abused and beaten by the Goguryeo soldiers. No one dared to resist, and they all walked obediently.

Seeing this, Gao Bufan was convinced that it was only a hundred-man team, and they were escorting so many Sui army prisoners, so they should be able to handle it, so he floated to the ground and calmly said to everyone: "Don't panic, it's just a small group of Goguryeo soldiers. It is estimated that there are only 50 people who came into the valley, and they are escorting a group of Sui army prisoners. Now that the enemy is clear and we are dark, dare you vote with me!"

When all the villagers heard that the other party was only about 50 people, they immediately lifted their spirits and showed fierce eyes. Some even gritted their teeth and said: "Damn, why don't you dare, Mr. Gao underestimates us too much!"

"Yes, fuck him to death, these bastards chased us all the way, today just happened to avenge the dead folks!" Liu Qijin waved the waist knife in his hand and said fiercely.

Gao Bufan couldn't help being a little surprised, only to find that the weapons in the hands of the villagers were all the standard weapons of the Sui Army, which was completely different from the broken copper and iron they held when they met them outside Jixian City. Feeling, it seems that the experience during this period not only sharpened the courage of these mud-legged people, but also allowed them to pick up advanced equipment, and they are no longer rookies at LV0.

This would save trouble, Gao Bufan quickly counted and found that even with Dou Xianniang and himself, there are only 30 people who still have combat power, and the other seven wounded have completely lost their combat power.

After a little thought, Gao Bufan quickly made an arrangement!
