Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 446

Pony Harbor is located on the seaside of Qinzhou Prefecture, mainly because it is a huge bay and a good natural harbor.

Cangzhou thirteen lines have a great influence here, and Cangzhou's ironware, cloth, silk, and daily necessities are all very popular here.

There are two lucky boats from Thirteen Lines, which can pull half a month to the agents nearby.After all, the cargo capacity of the ship is too large.

"Quickly, get ready to meet Lord Chai." The supervisor led twenty strong men to the wooden bridge in line.

The humpback whale approached slowly, and finally moored slowly beside the pier.

With a groan, the top cover of the Humpback Whale was opened. First, a few personal soldiers held firearms on guard, then Dian Zhengnan Liu Dazhuang and Lu Yidao came down, and finally Chai Lin and Gongsun Sheng.

The supervisor immediately came over to salute and said, "Master Chai, why are you here?"

Chai Lin said: "There is an urgent military situation, and it is highly confidential. Are there any horses or carriages here?"

"There are six carriages," said the supervisor.

Chai Lin said: "Okay, prepare four cars immediately, and we will leave after dinner."

Chai Lin was in a hurry, the poisonous arrows had too much impact on morale.After all, the Cangzhou army has not yet reached the point where they can ignore death.

The condition of the pier was relatively simple, and the soldiers went to the kitchen to cook some meals. After everyone finished eating, the supervisor also set up the carriage.

The Dali horses that pull the carts are as short as Mongolian horses, but run faster than non-Mongolian horses.

Chai Lin and the others were about to leave, and the supervisor said, "My lord, you must pay attention to safety. Qinzhou Prefecture is not peaceful. Recently, hundreds of children have been lost one after another."

"Lost hundreds of children? What's going on?"

"The news spread everywhere is that there is a person who likes to eat people. There are different opinions, and we don't know the specifics." The supervisor said.

Chai Lin said: "Okay, we know,"

A group of more than [-] people and four carriages went straight to a small town in the north along the official road, and everyone wanted to find a local doctor.

There is this kind of poisonous arrow wood in the mountains and forests around Qinzhou, and the local mountain people also use this kind of poisonous arrow wood when hunting. You can go there to find out the situation.

The situation here is very different from Cangzhou, the roads are rugged and narrow, and the carriages travel very slowly.After walking for half a day, I walked out for more than 60 miles, and there was a shop in front of me, which said Sow Ridge.

Dian Zhengnan laughed and said, "There is such a strange place name."

Gongsun Sheng said: "This is the southwest frontier, and there are many taboos. For the sake of unnecessary trouble, please try not to talk to strangers."

"Yes." Everyone said.

There is a small shop in Zhendiankou, which makes pork knuckle rice.

A few people were left to guard the carriage.

A group of more than a dozen people went in, startling the shop owner, he was a big man like water.

"What is the guest going to do?" the boss asked quickly.

Chai Lin took out a small piece of silver and said, "Boss, make us pork knuckle rice, eighteen servings."

"Ok."

Chai Lin could barely understand the boss's broken Mandarin of Song Dynasty.

While the kitchen was serving dinner, Chai Lin chatted with the boss.

Chai Lin said, "The boss is Han Chinese?"

"My surname is Liang, and my ancestral home is Hubei. My ancestors came here in the early Song Dynasty. At that time, there were too few people here, so I migrated here. This is a barren land, sparsely populated, and there are savages in the mountains." The boss said.

"Boss, have you ever heard of poison arrow wood, a kind of poison arrow?"

The boss shook his head: "I've heard people say that mountain people use it to hunt wild boars. This poison is very strange, and it's hard to live when it sees blood, but it's fine to eat the prey it shoots."

Seeing that there was no result, Chailin stopped talking.

Gongsun Sheng asked, "Have the store owners heard of missing children nearby?"

A look of fear flashed across the shopkeeper's face, and he said, "This matter is very serious. You outsiders should not take care of it well, for fear of trouble."

Chai Lin patted the dagger on his waist, and said, "We are an escort agency that walks the rivers and lakes, so we are just curious."

"If you want to listen to a story, let me tell you. This has been going on for a year. Since last winter, the homeless children in Qinzhou City have disappeared one after another. Later, the town also disappeared. Three children were lost one after another, and the parents were so anxious and crazy, but there was nothing they could do. They reported to the authorities and said they were lost. Now every household is watching the children closely, and they are not allowed to play in the street.” Boss Liang said helplessly.

The group ate and continued on their way.Chailin arranged for the brigade to rest at the entrance of the town.Chai Lin, Gongsun Sheng, and Liu Dazhuang searched back and forth in the town.

Just as I was about to see, two people came in a hurry, one of them had another person on his back with an arrow stuck in his hip.

The man on the back is already unconscious, and his symptoms are very similar to those of the poisonous arrow.

Chai Lin was overjoyed, and winked at Gongsun Sheng, and the three of them followed behind.

There is a medical clinic in front, a small thatched house with two thatched houses.

Two mountain people hurried in with the wounded on their backs.

"Uncle Liang, Uncle Liang, save him quickly. We accidentally shot the wild boar in the ass." A man said.

The person called Uncle Liang is a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with an impatient look on his face, and scolded: "I haven't paid the consultation fee that I owed me last time."

"Uncle Liang, don't worry, we will definitely bring a sheep over when we go back this time."

Uncle Liang picked up the jar, poured a bowl of water, and poured it down for the unconscious man.

After a while, he regained consciousness.

After a while, he walked out with the help of his arms.

Chai Lin and Gongsun Sheng entered the house, and Chai Lin asked, "Excuse me, doctor, can you treat poisoned arrow wounds?"

"It depends on what kind of poison it is. If it's poisonous arrow wood, it can be cured. It's a fat sheep, so don't bargain." Uncle Liang said.

Chailin is very happy, he finally found it.

"It's like this. We are fighting against the Nanyang Shengfan. The poisonous arrows they use are so powerful. I want to invite you to treat them. How about it? The consultation fee will be doubled for you, and you will have two fat sheep for each person, including food and shelter." Chailin said .

Old Uncle Liang said, "Go out and close the door."

Drive people away.

Chai Lin couldn't listen to him, and shouted: "Da Zhuang, come in."

Liu Dazhuang came in, and Chai Lin took out a large piece of 50 taels of silver from his arms, which was so heavy that it dazzled the eye.

Uncle Liang seemed to have not seen it, and said quietly: "I charge a fat sheep for the consultation fee not to make money, but to let the mountain people use less poisonous arrows. Those things are harmful to nature. It is said that you have come from a long way Promising a lot of money, I have no reason not to go. But you come with me."

Uncle Liang pushed open the back door and came to the hillside behind.

It turned out to be two new graves, and the grass on the graves hadn't grown much, so it looked like it was only a year old.

"My family is poor. I am a local doctor. I married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a baby when I was 30 years old. Last winter, my baby went to the street to play and didn't come back until dark. My wife and I searched until midnight, only in the town. I found a shoe in my mouth. Then I couldn’t find it no matter how hard I searched. The baby’s mother was overworked and died a few months ago. I think the baby is probably gone, so I made a clothes grave.”

Chai Lin was silent for a while. There are many misfortunes in the world, and he shared two of them at once.
