Hunting for the Southern Song Dynasty

Guo Lian and I were figuring out how to wipe out this scandal when suddenly there was a knock on the door, "Brother, open the door, it's me."

I hurriedly pushed Guo Lian onto the bed and drew the curtains.

When the door was opened, it was Dong Rong, Meng Fei and Gu Feng.Meng Fei was covered in wounds, and his face was black and bloody. He knelt down and said in frustration, "My lord, I'm sorry for you! I'm sorry for the dead and injured brothers!"

"Stand up and speak slowly!"

Meng Fei stood up, "When we were about to reach the Golden Turtle Lake, we didn't want to be ambushed by water thieves, who took away the prostitutes on the water, and even killed and wounded many of our brothers. Thanks to Gu Feng who arrived, otherwise my life would be in jeopardy." Gone."

"Will it count if they can pinch it? How do they know that we are going to change people? Besides, you are in the hands of whoring in the water, are you afraid that they won't make it?"

"They came out suddenly, we were not prepared at all, and there were two water thieves, carrying a thick bamboo tube, I don't know what it was, and they were able to spew fire out. Burned and killed several of us."

"The one you're talking about may be a bamboo gun. It's filled with gunpowder. It's nothing unusual. When our artillery comes out, it will be much more powerful than this one."

In June of the second year of Shaoxing, Li Heng, the governor of Yingzhou in Xiangyang Prefecture, led his army to besiege De'an Prefecture, built a bridge in the northwest of the city, filled in the outer trench, and then mobilized the crowd to attack the city.Chen Gui, the governor of De'an Prefecture, Fuzhou, and Hanyang, led the army and civilians to occupy the city to fight.This is the case in troubled times. Cannibalism happens from time to time. If the two don't see eye to eye, they will use swords and guns.

Li Heng's army besieged the city for more than 70 days, and the food and pay in the city were not enough. The outdated rules and regulations raised the morale of the army.Li Heng was unable to attack for a long time, so he sent people into the city to tell Chen Gui that he would like to get a prostitute in the city and withdraw his troops, but Chen Gui firmly refused.On August 60, the overpass collapsed due to Li Hengjun's incomplete trench filling. Chen Gui took the opportunity to send [-] people with bamboo muskets out of the west gate, burned his overpass, and Li Hengjun pulled out the village and fled.

I briefly told the three about the origin of this bamboo firearm, and Dong Rong said: "Oh, we have to hurry up to build this kind of gun and this kind of cannon."

"Well, it's just that Guo Lian is still detained in the water village, he is really anxious!" I scratched my ears and pretended to be anxious.

Gu Feng said: "Your Majesty, when we went whoring with that important man on the water, why did he keep saying that the man in the third sedan chair was Guo Lian, and he was not a beauty for you at all."

"He is talking nonsense! He has hurt me a lot. The one who was sent to me is extremely ugly, and he is half dead, and his face is covered with blisters."

Meng Fei said: "Then brother, don't rush to throw her out, it will be troublesome if you get infected with your disease. We have a lot of women in the cottage, so we still need some from his village?"

Dong Rong said: "This thief is full of tricks, I thought he had no good intentions at the time. Tomorrow I have to find a doctor to show my sister and Xiao Qiao, if they also contract this disease, it will be troublesome."

Gu Feng said: "Brother, can we take a look at the person sent by the thief?"

"What purpose? I don't even dare to look at her. What are you looking at her for? What if you get sick again? Get someone to prepare a car for me. It's important for me to take her to the doctor. Regardless of her beauty or ugliness, she is still a human being. ah!"

Meng Fei said: "My brother is really kind. I will definitely find a good wife in the future."

I said, "Let's put aside whether you are a woman or not. Tomorrow, maybe the thief will come to beg for Hua Changcai, Xiao Qiao and others. Everyone, get ready to fight and fight him."

The three said "OK" in unison.

I said again: "Brother Dong Xian, you send someone to take back the bodies of those brothers, bury them properly, and provide compensation to their families. Those injured should be healed well."

"Ok."

The three backed out.

I then went out and went back to my room to find a suit of clothes.

I covered Guo Lian with a red hijab and helped him out. The girl waited outside with a lantern on. Lan Yan'er, Tang Yan, Mei Ling, and Yan Ling all ran out to watch when they heard the sound.

"Get away, stay away!" I yelled.

Lan Yan'er asked: "My lord, where are you taking her so late? Why are you still wearing such a big hijab?"

I said: "That whoring on the water is too abominable, let alone the ugly girl she sent me, and her face is full of big blisters, it's scary!"

Yanling said: "Oh, it's not contagious, is it?"

I said, "Whether it's contagious or not, I have to take her to see it? She's dying now, so it's hard to say whether she can survive?"

At this time the carriage came, and I helped Guo Lian get into the carriage.

Lan Yan'er said: "Your Majesty, shall I go with you?"

I waved my hand, "Don't go, just pass me one, don't pass it on you again!"

The ladies seemed to be sweating for me, so I said, "Don't worry. I'll be back tonight if nothing happens. I'll take her to the Nianzitai at the foot of the mountain to have a look. I heard that there is a Lu Yun in that village. It specializes in treating various skin diseases."

I lower the shade.The coachman yelled and left Xifang Garden.He took eight more soldiers on horseback with lanterns and shovels and picks.

Running wildly all the way, when the car reached a small forest, I shouted: "Stop! The woman is dying, she must be buried quickly."

The car stopped, and I told the soldiers to find a place to dig a hole.

After the hole was dug, I pulled Guo Lian out of the car, but the soldiers wanted to help but dared not step forward.I said, "Don't do anything. It's enough to pass me one. It's enough for one to lead the way, and the other to illuminate me behind. Stay away from me."

Doing so, I dragged Guo Lian to the edge of the pit.Guo Lian also pretended to be upside down, really motionless like a dead person, at my mercy.I deliberately teased him, so I pushed him into the pit.Fortunately, these soldiers were lazy, and the pits were not dug deep.

I took the lantern and the bundle from a soldier, and said to the two of them, "Go and wait for me where you are, and don't come over. I will bury it first, and tell you to come back when you come, so as not to infect everyone."

The two soldiers left quickly.

Guo Lian was very energetic at the moment, and before I could speak, he sat up.I opened the bag, took out the clothes and asked him to change, "Hurry up and hide, you estimate the time to return to the village, so you say you escaped."

After Guo Lian changed his clothes, he quickly got into the bushes and disappeared.I hung the lantern on a tree branch, put a piece of wood inside the woman's clothes that Guo Lian had taken off, roughly looked like a dead person, and then buried them in the soil, deliberately exposing some corners of the clothes.

I took a few steps outside and shouted, "Come in."

The coachman and even the soldiers came in, and the soldiers talked about the wickedness of prostitution on the water, and complimented me on how righteous I was, and buried the hole.

When we walked out, I looked back and said with a choked up voice: "It's just that this little lady is from somewhere, and if she has any relatives, alas, so I became a lonely ghost like this, and I will come back tomorrow to burn it for her." Some paper money."

One moved closer to him, "Your Majesty is truly benevolent!"

"Stay away from me! Stay away from me! Don't upload it to you again."

The coachman said: "Your Majesty, we don't care if we pass it on or not. Your body is precious, so it's important to find Mr. Lu as soon as possible."

"That's it, that's it." All the soldiers echoed.

"Of course I have to watch it. If it's contagious, I won't go back to the cottage, so as not to harm everyone."

We drove to the mill stand, and saw a big mill in the distance, and an old woman was pulling the mill with a donkey.A broken lantern hung on a nearby post.

The coachman asked, "Ma'am, where is Mr. Lu's house?"

The old woman said: "Go straight ahead, the gate tower is the highest, and there is a stone lion's house in front of the gate."

After walking for a while, the car stopped. A soldier knocked on the door, but the door didn't open after knocking for a long time.The soldier said: "Your Majesty, shall I climb over the wall?"

I said, "No. I'll try again. If I really can't, wait until tomorrow."

When I got out of the car, the soldiers stepped aside, and I knocked on the door while shouting, "Is Langzhong Lu at home? Is Langzhong Lu at home?"

The door finally opened, and a little lady with a face like the full moon flashed out, followed by several family members.

"It's so late, why are you shouting?" The little lady had a sullen expression on her face.

"Of course I'm seeing a doctor, otherwise why come to your house?"

"Which one is sick?"

"me!"

"You? I don't feel sick at all."

"Of course it's better if you don't have it. If the disease is in the bone marrow, and Lu Langzhong can't see it anymore, wouldn't it be a big trouble?"

"come in."

The coachman and I went in, leaving the others to guard the door.

The little lady let me and the driver into the room, and I asked, "Where is Mr. Lu?"

"My father has gone to the house of Wang Yuanwai in Taidi Village."

"Is Wang Yuanwai sick?"

"No, his daughter is sick."

"What disease?" I was a little anxious.

"Why do you ask so many questions?"

"To tell you the truth, I spent some days at his house."

"Isn't it necessary that the little lady is your friend?" She grabbed my hand and gave me my pulse, "I heard that there are pimples all over my body and face."

"Are you ok?"

"Who can tell? If you don't make it right, your face will be pockmarked. I don't think you're sick?"

"I was worried that I would be infected. Today, I met a little lady on the road. She was lying on the road and couldn't move. Her face was covered with blisters. I helped her into the house. You know what disease she has. ?"

"What about people?"

"Dead and buried."

"Then what do I think? Generally speaking, such blisters are not fatal. Maybe she has other diseases."

"Will that be contagious?"

"I didn't check her up, so how could I know this? I guess I wouldn't be able to run away if I really passed it on to you. Well, you go back first, and come here if you feel unwell."

She turned to the driver and said, "Anyway, I don't think you're sick at all. Uncle, you seem to be in poor health. Uncle, do you have trouble defecating?"

The coachman said: "I'm old and not smooth. Sometimes I squat several times before pulling some sheep dung and peas."

The little lady said: "Come here, I'll show you."

The little lady gave the coachman his pulse and prescribed a prescription.

I asked, "Do you have this medicine at home?"

The little lady said: "Yes - Lu Fu."

A guy walks in.

"You take them to fetch medicine."

When I walked out of the house, the coachman touched me and whispered, "My lord, what kind of medicine are you taking? She must have prescribed it for me because she wanted to sell her family's medicine."

I didn't speak, took the driver to grab the medicine, paid the silver taels, and left.

When I returned to the cottage, I always felt like I had really come into contact with a little lady with blisters. After entering the house, I took a shower, and the girl wanted to hide away. I said, "It's okay, I just saw the doctor, and the disease is not contagious."

Hearing what I said, a girl moved slowly towards me.

I waved my hand, "Forget it, I'll do it myself, you all go to rest."

The two girls stood still, I shouted: "Get out!"

The two girls hurried out.

I yelled again: "Come back!"

The two girls came back again, their bodies trembling a little.
