ruffian loves his wife

Chapter 23

Everyone got out of the carriage in a daze, and when they opened their eyes to take a closer look, they were all stunned.Even those old military doctors who have been with the army for many years are witnessing such a tragic and desolate scene for the first time...

The whole scene can only be described as horrible. There are several large cracks in the ground under the feet, and the people trapped inside can be seen vaguely. Looking at the ruins, there was no living figure at all. There were corpses everywhere, those crushed by stones, thrown against the wall, and many more were crushed into the house and could not be seen.

There was a strong smell of blood and the disgusting stench of rotting corpses in the air.Spring is supposed to be the time for all things to grow, but God cruelly turned Qicheng into a dead city at this time.Flocks of crows jumped among the corpses and happily enjoyed the food. From time to time, they would croak excitedly, which made people tremble and flustered.

Qicheng, located in the southwestern part of the Ming Dynasty, is rich in wood and rich in copper resources. It is one of the top ten rich places in the Ming Dynasty. However, the old city that has been prosperous for a hundred years suddenly suffered such a catastrophe. To record its brilliance, it turned into ruins in a blink of an eye, which caught everyone off guard and sighed.

Everyone was silent and depressed with tears in their eyes, and their hearts became extremely pious at this moment. They mourned for the many dead souls and prayed for those who survived.However, at this moment, a sudden voice came...

"Father, mother, where are you? Bao'er can't find it."

"Father, mother, come out quickly, Baoer admits defeat, Baoer will stop playing hide-and-seek. Father... Mother..."

Everyone followed the sound and found that it was a little boy of three or four years old. His face was so dark that he couldn't tell his original appearance, and his clothes were already dirty and torn. Shouting loudly, at such a young age, he only thought that his parents were playing games with him when they disappeared.He didn't cry when he tripped suddenly, but got up stubbornly and continued to dig through the ruins.

Dad said, Bao'er is a man, if you fall down, you have to stand up by yourself, don't cry!The mother said that Bao'er's smile is the most, so he doesn't cry, he wants to laugh, so that the mother will come out by herself to hug him and kiss his little face, and he will stay in the mother's Xiangxiang's arms. Then dad will definitely show up with a dark face and take him away from mother, because dad is always afraid that he will tire mom, so both dad and mother will be found...

So you have to laugh first, you have to let the mother come out to hug him first, but he laughed for two days and shouted for two days, why didn't the mother show up? Is it because the mother has a little sister in her belly so she doesn't want him up? !No, mother said that she would love Bao'er the same if she had a younger sister.It must be because he doesn't smile well, so he has to smile harder...

"Mother, come out and watch, Bao'er is smiling very nicely now...Mother, come out and see Bao'er smile...!"

Seeing this scene, the water in Yan Jing's eyes finally dripped down, and she wept silently, all the soldiers' eyes were red, and most of them turned their heads secretly and rubbed their eyes.It is said that men don't flick their tears lightly, but they haven't reached the point of sadness!On the battlefield, they heroically killed the enemy without blinking an eye, but that was war, a life-and-death struggle, a life-and-death struggle.However, what about earthquakes?That's manic nature. Faced with people who have no resistance, even animals, no matter how old or young, they will relentlessly kill them all. What kind of heartlessness is needed!
In the hazy vision, Qiming seems to see himself as a child, so panic and helpless, even though he vaguely understands that his parents are gone, he stubbornly thinks that they are just asleep and will wake up!
Rubbing his red eyes, Qiming walked over, knelt down in front of the child, opened his arms, and said softly, "Bao'er, come here and give uncle a hug!"

"How does Uncle know Bao'er's name?" After hearing Qiming's words, the little boy was curious and then excited.

"Did Bao'er's mother tell uncle? Then uncle must know where they are hiding, right? Bao'er has been searching for a long time but can't find it. Uncle, tell Bao'er's parents where they are?"

"Let's go with uncle. Uncle will take Bao'er to find mother." Qiming's tone was obviously choked up, this child was more like himself back then.

The little boy bowed his head in difficulty, "But mother said that you can't just go with a strange uncle." Although he didn't think this uncle was a bad person, but mother also said that bad people would not easily reveal their true nature.

"Uncle knows Bao'er's name, so he is not a stranger."

"That's right, Bao'er is too stupid to even think of it, then Bao'er will go with uncle." The little boy finally threw himself into Qiming's arms with a sweet smile on his face, and wrapped his chubby black hands around Qiming's neck affectionately.I can finally meet my parents!I knew that as long as Bao'er smiled, my mother would definitely come out.

"Uncle, it would be nice if you came earlier, so that Bao'er wouldn't have to search here alone for so long! I'll tell you secretly, in fact, Bao'er is very scared, afraid of the dark, afraid of those crows that always make annoying calls, and afraid of Those uncles and aunts sleeping on the ground are even more afraid that their parents will leave Bao'er and never come again..."

The little boy said lightly to Qiming, and everyone wept bitterly after hearing this.The dead can no longer perceive the world, but those who survive will lick their sorrows for the rest of their lives.

……

In this ruins, the map is basically useless. To find the Qicheng garrison, the only way is to slowly explore the route by yourself. After an hour, everyone found the place where the smoke was in the distance.A large open space is a training ground for military training, and this is the garrison of Qicheng.

It's just that at this moment, it doesn't look like a garrison at all, it's more like a refugee camp, and it's indeed a refugee camp.The homeless people gathered here to heal those who were injured, and to help save those who were not injured.The smoke is produced when the fire is boiled to boil hot water and soup.

When Zhao Ji, the 50-year-old chief soldier of Qicheng, saw Xuanyuan Mutian and the troops who came to support him, the grief he had endured for two days finally spewed out like a spring.

I saw him walking staggeringly step by step, not at all like the old and vigorous Zhao Ji, now he is more like an old man, when he walked in front of Xuanyuan Mutian, he knelt down with a plop, tears streaming down his face, "General, you are finally here!" It's over!" After saying that, the man fell directly to the ground.He is so tired, physically and mentally exhausted!

Xuanyuan Mutian hurriedly ordered someone to pick him up and send him to the tent for treatment.This well-known man who followed him in the war was trapped on the battlefield for five days and nights without eating or drinking, and he didn't fall down!But now...

The soldiers who went to the battlefield with Zhao Ji all had sore noses. How much pain does it take to make such a stubborn and unyielding man fall down!The life and death of relatives, the tragic death of many people in the city, the serious injuries of the survivors, the destruction of Qicheng's century-old foundation, no one will feel sad, let alone Zhao Ji, this is his hometown, and it is the place he has sworn to guard all his life. ...

"Qiming stays here and is responsible for calming down the residents. Dahai and I will gather all the soldiers in Qicheng and let them lead the way to lead our soldiers to rescue people; another dozen people will be left to build enough tents for wounding civilians. and the garrison; the military doctor stays here to help treat the wounded immediately; do you understand?" Xuanyuan Mutian arranged in an orderly manner, at this moment Yan Jing looked at his resolute face, suddenly felt that he was so tall, and felt a sudden feeling in his heart A heartfelt admiration.

"understand!"

The morale of the crowd was high, and the rescue activities were in full swing.

Yan Jing has lived for fifteen years, and she has never felt that she is a useful person like now!

"Jing Yan, come and bandage her!"

"Oh, come here right away." Yan Jing, who was bandaging another wounded man, finished her work and ran over with clean gauze.

She is a ten-year-old child with a big scrape on her arm. If she does not take the medicine in time, she may get an infection. Fortunately, she has a mother by her side. She is happier than many people. At least she is not alone. !

Trying hard to suppress the moisture welling up in her eyes, Yan Jing began to skillfully clean the wound, apply medicine, and bandage. She has done such things countless times just now, from being disgusted when she saw blood to being calm and proficient now.

"Does it hurt?"

The little girl held back her tears and shook her head, then looked at the woman next to her, and said with a smile, "Mother, Qiu'er doesn't hurt, so don't mother either!"

Only then did Yan Jing notice that the woman next to her who had been silent had also suffered some abrasions. The two of them were not seriously injured. As long as they were not infected, there would be no major problems. But the wounds on the body healed, but what about the wounds on the heart?The pain of losing a loved one will leave scars in my heart forever, and every time I think of it, it will tear my heart like a tear!Just like herself.

"Okay, don't let the wound touch the water these two days, you know?"

"Yes. Qiu'er will also remind mother!"

"Okay, Qiu'er is so good, take good care of your mother!"

"Yeah. I will take good care of my mother." The little girl nodded firmly, as if she was telling Yan Jing and reminding herself!However, her mother remained in a daze from the beginning to the end, neither looking at Yan Jing nor anyone else.Just sat there with blank eyes.

"Thank you sister!"

Yan Jing just wanted to leave but was startled by the little girl's words, "Uh...I'm not a sister but a brother!"

"No, it's my sister. Only my sister can smell good." She said firmly.

Looking around, no one noticed here, Yan Jing whispered to the girl, "My sister came here secretly, don't tell others, otherwise my sister can't save people here, you know?"

"Well, I know, my sister is doing good deeds, and I won't say anything about it. In the future, Qiu'er will also be a medical girl to save people like my sister." The little girl said with firm and spirited eyes as if she had sworn an oath.

"Sister, I believe you can do it!" Nodding to her with a smile, Yan Jing turned and left. There were more injuries waiting for her to treat.

More and more wounded were rescued from the ruins, and everyone in the military doctors was very busy.But what is gratifying is that everyone cooperated with each other, and the rescue activities were carried out intensely and orderly.It was not until late at night that I was able to go back to rest.

Naturally, Yan Jing returned to Xuanyuan Mutian's general account, this was an order.Although everyone is curious, they dare not ask more questions. In this sensitive period, saving people is the top priority!

In the evening, Xuanyuan Mutian was still dealing with some matters before the case, Yan Jing, who was extremely tired, climbed onto the bed and fell asleep as soon as she came in.Get a good night's sleep tonight, so that you will have the energy and strength to continue tomorrow.

An hour later, Yan Jing, who was supposed to be sleeping soundly, had a nightmare...

In the dream, she returned to the year when she was five years old, and she still remembered that the weather was really good that day...
