The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 218 Encountering Blizzard

Seeing that Feng Yao said it so easily, Zhuang Yi gritted his teeth, and said straightforwardly: "Did the eldest princess ever think that when she came out, it was 50 taels of silver, and with those things, there are more than 20 taels of silver. Now the silver is left The deposit is less than 10 taels, and it is even more difficult to buy things even if you have money in such a situation. How will you go on the road ahead?"

Feng Yao smiled nonchalantly: "As a pacifier, I should be concerned about the suffering of the people, and bear in mind the suffering of the people; I can't raise money or supplies, and I still have the qualifications to go forward and face many victims of the disaster. with the people?"

Seeing that Zhuang Yi didn't seem to be convinced, and that Chief Li was also worried, Feng Yao said again: "The current situation is considered to be excellent. Although there are many people affected by the disaster, it has affected many villages and towns, making neighboring cities We are also burdened by the victims of the disaster. But fortunately, there is no epidemic, which can make us worry less. Now as long as we can raise materials and silver along the way, we will be considered complete."

Although everyone was worried, after all, the eldest princess said so, they were not easy to refute, and they did not have the power and courage.I had no choice but to be careful along the way, for fear that my hope of bringing meritorious deeds back to the court this time would fail again.

The thirty miles ahead is not long, but it is not short.Suddenly there was another blizzard, and the hooves of the horses had to be wrapped with several layers of cotton cloth, otherwise they would be in danger of frostbite if they kept stepping on the snow.

But Feng Yao was also uncomfortable riding on a horse, the wind was stronger and the snow was colder at high places.Although he wore a fox fur hood on his head and two layers of felt scarves wrapped around his face, the exposed eyes were hard to open due to the wind.The eyelashes were even covered with a layer of hoarfrost by the breath out of his mouth. Every time he blinked, the eyelashes froze in one place, and the eyelids hurt when he opened it again.

Zhuang Yi is from the north, and he frowned when he saw this situation.Urging the horse to come to Fengyao's side, he said: "Princess, the snow is unusual. According to what we northerners call 'big smoke cannon', the sky is full of snow and mist when it blows up. It depends on the distance of a few steps. There are no people, and the footprints on the ground are also flat when the wind passes, and it is impossible to follow the trail. If someone falls behind, he will be frozen to death in the snowstorm because of getting lost, and he will not be able to go any further.”

Feng Yao was blown by the wind and almost fell off the horse, if he hadn't grasped the rein tightly with both hands, he might have been blown away by the wind.After finally hearing Zhuang Yi's words clearly, my heart trembled.

Looking forward, it was indeed a vast expanse of whiteness, and even the town that I had vaguely seen before was gone.Looking back, you can see only a large cart following, and the people or horses behind are all covered by snow and fog, and you can't see people at all.

Feng Yao nodded, and said loudly: "Then stop for a while and rest. But you also need to find a shelter from the wind, right?"

Zhuang Yi looked back and forth in the same way, and shook his head again: "I'm afraid it won't work. The snowstorm is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid that if we go on, even if no one is left behind, our whole team will lose our way. Now we can only gather everyone together In one place, block ten large vehicles on the outside to temporarily shelter from the wind and snow. Wait until the snow is a little lighter before finding a place that can be placed."

Feng Yao asked again: "Then is it okay to camp here?"

"No, such a storm will blow away the tent at once." Zhuang Yi resolutely put forward his opinion.

Feng Yao had no choice but to agree with Zhuang Yi's suggestion, ordering everyone to gather together and rest in place.

In the outermost area were ten carts, in the middle were soldiers forming a circle layer by layer, and in the innermost area were Feng Yao, generals, chief officers, and military doctors.But Feng Yao could still feel that the wind blowing in through the human wall was like a knife, and his whole body was frozen stiff and numb.

But Feng Yao still gritted his teeth and persisted, he didn't cry out for the cold, and he didn't let Zi Ying find the rest of the cotton robes and fox furs on his body.What it was like when it was on the road, it is still what it is now.Standing in the crowd, standing proudly, not even shrinking his shoulders.

The others are naturally terribly cold, and most of them are from the north. This is the first time they have seen such a blizzard.The grievances and complaints that were originally full of grievances and complaints were completely unaware when they saw Feng Yao standing in the snow. Instead, they were all furious, their chests were hot, and they were secretly swearing that they would never lose to a delicate woman up.

After stopping in the wind and snow for nearly an hour, the wind was considered to be a little bit weaker.Although the falling snowflakes were still falling in large swaths, they could finally see the way forward through the heavy snow.

Then Feng Yao ordered everyone to pack up, count the number of people, and set off immediately, making sure to reach the town ahead as quickly as possible.

After counting, no one was lost, but three soldiers were frostbitten, and one's legs were so cold that they couldn't walk at all.The other one had severe frostbite on the head and face. The ears were red, swollen and pus-filled, and the pus and blood were frozen on the hat, and the hat could not be taken off.The other couldn't stand the cold, so he fainted in the snow, didn't respond to how he called, and completely lost consciousness.

The military doctor immediately diagnosed and treated the three of them. The frostbitten ear was not serious. As long as the affected area was rubbed with snow, and the frostbite ointment was applied continuously, it would be relieved, at least it would not hurt his life.The one who fainted was more troublesome. He needed to keep warm, but not too warm. He had to wait for his body to recover, and he would wake up naturally.

The most serious thing was the soldier with frostbite on his legs. Because he stood in the snow for too long, the blood could not circulate at all, and he might not be able to keep his legs.Moreover, there is no better treatment in such an environment. After the necrosis of the frostbitten leg, there is toxin in the blood, and the toxin spreads throughout the body with the blood flow, and I am afraid that it will not last until tomorrow.

It was the first time that Feng Yao watched the military doctor helplessly, shook his head and signaled the other soldiers to put the man on the carriage, wrapped him in a quilt, and left him to fend for himself.Because any method is useless, amputating his legs may not be able to save his life, he can only let him endure for a moment.

Feng Yao couldn't bear it, and asked Zi Ying to cover the man with one of her mink fur cloaks.Zi Ying pursed her lips and was reluctant, fearing that the man would die immediately, not to mention soiling a cloak, and Feng Yao would suffer from the cold in the future.

But Feng Yao was determined, took the cloak from Zi Ying's hand, and went over to cover the soldier himself.And bowed his head and said softly to him: "You have to persevere, there is a town in front of you, and you can try to treat you there. I also have a folk prescription, which may save your life."

The soldier's eyesight was already blurred. Although he didn't know the pain at all, he knew that he might not survive today.Hearing Feng Yao's words, a relieved smile appeared on his face.At least the eldest princess did not give up on him, this kind of encouragement and concern was enough for him to go on the road safely.
