Chapter 79

The next day, the weather was even more beautiful, and the rain stopped. In the early morning, the early summer sun sprinkled thousands of golden needles on the valley, and the people who were illuminated could not open their eyes.I was so happy, I prayed to all the gods in my heart, from the Taishang Laojun to the Tathagata Buddha God and even the Changshengtian of the Huns, the Helan Mountain in Xixia, Mazu, and the Tongtian leader of Jiejiao. Once again, I hope they will bless Guo Jia to wait for me.

[-] infantry, that is, [-] fortification soldiers. In addition to weapons, every three of them have a shovel, which they carry in turn. Under Tian Chou's guidance, as long as they meet people, they can pass through narrow areas of stone walls that cannot be passed by horses or grain carts. Or where the water is too deep and uneven, it is easy to start repairing.In this way, the speed of the march was much slower.There is no way, the cavalry is needed to fight. If the infantry does not come to open the way, then the food and grass behind will not be able to supply, and the cavalry will be blocked outside the mountain.The path to Xu Wushan is not the most fatal, but the most fatal is Baitan two days later, which was later called Gubeikou, which is the only way out of the fortress.Starting from Botan, it is the dangerous land of five hundred miles mentioned by Tian Chou. Although I have been mentally prepared, when I saw the precipitousness of Botan, I still couldn't help but gasp.

There are highlands with steep slopes cut by rivers everywhere.From top to bottom, it is divided into three parts: the top, the slope and the foothills.Several adjacent mountains are regularly distributed.The mountain ranges are like "ribbon" rivers protruding and flowing towards the staggered mountain spouts connected by mountains, the saddle-shaped depressions of tall mountains or ridges;

The narrow road can only pass a ten-year-old child, and the bushes are covered with thorns, and birds of prey come out of the bushes and forests from time to time.The seemingly flat road that no one has walked for 200 years, as soon as you step on it, you will immediately be submerged in dead branches and fallen leaves, and fall into the trap that has been abandoned for hundreds of years.Days of torrential rain caused many landslides on the mountain, and many trails that were originally like sheep intestines were blocked by boulders.It can be said that there is no road at all here. Some of the "small paths to be found" mentioned by Tian Chou are okay, and some are not visible at all.The road a few years ago is now covered with trees and thatch, and the soldiers need to clear it away bit by bit before they can move forward.

The midday sun hovered between the peaks and the valleys, illuminating the people who were already distracted, and their tempers rose even more.Zhou Cang didn't wear armor. He said that it was too bulky and tiring to walk, and he didn't wear it for war, so he wore a long robe.At this moment, his robe has been cut into a skirt by branches and thorns, revealing the dark skin inside one by one.There were dozens of wounds on the face, legs, and body that were bleeding outwards. Although they were not very deep, they were very itchy when exposed to the sun.Then Zhou Cang yelled: "Fucking the poisonous sun, why don't you go down the mountain? I'm so mad. I said, son, you can still get out. It's been nearly seven or eight hours." I smiled wryly. "It's not even three-tenths, why are you in a hurry." Tian Chou had just tripped over a grass snake coiled in the dead leaves beside me, and now he got up, Chang Xi, took the opportunity to slash the snake. The snake was cut into two pieces, and one hand picked up a piece, showing it off, and said to Zhou Cang, "Okay, I can eat something good in a while, this thing is delicious." Zhou Cang saw that the grass snake had arms. He stretched out his tongue and said, "I said, Lao Chang, you are tired with a knife and a snake in one hand, right? You see, let me help you, how about it?" How could Chang Xi not Knowing what he was thinking, he curled his lips and said, "Old Zhou, your kindness is appreciated, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others, understand, I can't let you suffer." Zhou Cang was anxious: "These days everyone has shared weal and woe. Those who live and die together are all my brothers, and you still see me, no, I have to share a little for you, or I feel bad." Chang Xi thought that you are feeling bad, you are hungry It's not good.

While he was not paying attention, Zhou Cang pulled a piece of the snake's head over, took it and ran away. Chang Xi didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he walked a few steps to catch up with me and said, "Young master, in the evening, I will roast the snake for you. It’s so delicious. I think you haven’t eaten anything while traveling all day these days. I’ve met Tao Qian’s son before, and Lu Bu is also a son. They are all very delicate, just like you. Lu Bu’s man , Don’t ask him to walk and march, just ride a horse, he doesn’t even bother to ride a thousand-mile horse.”

When I turned around, I was hit on the cheek by a branch brought by the soldiers in front, and a deep blood groove immediately appeared on my face. The blood dripped down, and it was very itchy and painful.

Zhou Cang ran up and shouted as he ran: "Young master, wait for me to open the way for you. You walk behind me, and I will cut off the branches with a knife." It will be better for the sappers to keep up after cleaning up."

"It's so dangerous, if I don't move forward, no one will die." I said with a wry smile.Then go forward.

There was a huge boulder lying in front of it, as tall as a person, and about three or four feet long, blocking the road, making it impossible for horses and grain carts to pass.Tian Chou said: "Let's find a way to move it away, otherwise the cavalry behind can come over, and the grain trucks won't be able to get up. This is all caused by the long-term landslide."

Move as soon as you move, is there a lot of strength?I took the lead and spent a lot of effort to organize people to throw the boulder down the foothills.The scene in front of me made me a little nervous.Turning the corner, a mountain seemed to be split by the sword of the god, breaking from the middle.The fault zone is tens of feet high. Looking up, the white clouds are curling up, and the birds are a small black spot.The middle area between the two mountains is a cliff. On the bare cliff, there is a mountain goat gut covered with thorns and covered with weeds and moss.This winding mountain road is actually not narrow, but half of it has been swallowed up by the gravel falling from the cliff during the endless years of invasion. If you want to pass by on horseback, you must get through this road.A gust of mountain wind blows, making the people standing on it feel shaky, their bodies feel weightless, and their hearts fly lightly to the clouds.That feeling is extremely uncomfortable.

"Young Master, if I die here, you can throw a few roasted chickens down this cliff every year." Zhou Cang said seriously.Even he was scared, let alone the soldiers behind him.

"Bring a shovel," I shouted behind me.A shovel was handed over to me, I looked at Zhou Cang and smiled and said, "I can't die, we will come and go back together. Come on, you follow me." Before Zhou Cang could stop me, I had already waved it The shovel went over and felled among the thorns. Fortunately, the roots of the plants growing on the stone wall were very shallow, so it was easy to remove. In less than a while, a path more than ten meters long for horse racing was opened under the feet.Once the road was widened, everyone's hearts were also widened, and the soldiers came to clean it up.Zhou Cang didn't work, but just stared at me with good eyes, and when I accidentally slipped and fell, he hugged me around the waist and walked the 1000-meter plank road for two hours.This made me a little anxious.At this moment, Zhou Cang came over to flatter him; "Young master is full of guts, much stronger than me."

Chang Xi heard it, and shouted at the top of his voice from two steps away: "Master, Lao Zhou scolded you." Zhou Cang's copper bell eyes almost fell out.I thought that Lao Chang was good at everything, but his mother was a little afraid of chaos.Zhou Cang said furiously: "Why did I scold the second son, please explain clearly to me, if you can't explain clearly, I will return to Jing with you today." As for it? !scared me.

"Old Zhou, don't stare at me, you know? You just scolded the young master." Chang Xi said calmly.

Zhou Cang's eyes were red with anger, and he said angrily, "Why don't I know." In fact, not only did he not know, but I was wondering too, because I didn't hear Zhou Cang greet the person in our Yuan family's ancestors.

Chang Xi grinned and said: "You said that the young master is much better than you, so you just scold him." Zhou Cang was stupid and stopped making trouble: "Why is this scolding? It's a good word. You are stupid." He laughed and said: "Fart, comparing people with bears is nothing more than swearing." Zhou Cang said fiercely; "When you get out of this place, I won't teach you that your surname will not be Zhou." Chang Xi said; " You can have my surname, Changcang." Zhou Cang said to Tian Chou: "Mr. Tian, ​​this kid is too outrageous, what do you think?" Tian Chou said sternly, "It's easy, if you really don't want to be called Changcang, Then change your surname to Tian and call it Tian Cang, which is much better than Chang Cang." Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, and just about to complain to me, seeing the sinister smile on my face, he swallowed back the words when he reached the edge of his mouth up.I thought I'd better stop talking, or I'd definitely be called Yuan Cang in a while.This is not good, it is better to call Zhou Cang.He giggled.

After walking on this road for more than nine days, Tian Chou pointed to the flat road ahead and said, "Botan has passed, and Pinggang is ahead. After Pinggang is Linghe River, after crossing the river, you can see Feng Filial piety." Fifty miles ahead, the terrain became more and more open, and the scene of cattle and sheep gradually appearing in the wind and grass, it seems that we have already walked out of the dangerous land of five hundred miles.Looking at the green grass, smelling the fragrance of grass seeds, and listening to the humming of cattle and sheep, I was excited.Loudly said to Tian Chou: "How far is it to reach Linghe?" Tian Chou stretched out a finger and said, "Nearly a hundred miles."

"Lord Tian, ​​since Feng Xiao fell ill here, why would he camp on the other side of the river? It is a big taboo for military strategists to go deep into the back water village alone, that is, Han Xin can use it. I always think they should be on this side of the river. "

"It's possible, Second Young Master, it's better to march faster. Today is already the tenth day. I'm afraid he won't be able to wait for the filial piety." I prayed to the gods of all religions in my heart. The wish said, if you bless Guo Jia from death, when I become emperor one day, I will rehabilitate you and let you ride on the head of the Supreme Lord.I guess the Master Tongtian may have heard it.

The soldiers ran wildly on the wide road, marching [-] miles a day and night, and arrived at the bank of the Ling River within three hours.

I heard the gurgling water from a distance, and the sound of the water was mixed with human voices. I rushed up to a high slope, stood in the green grass, and saw a dotted camp at the bottom of the slope. Here." The patrolling soldiers soon found out that a large group of men and horses were approaching on the hillside, and immediately bowed their knives and unsheathed them, ready to fight.

A group of cavalry has rushed over, and the leader is Zhang Xiu.Zhang Xiu was far away, so he drew the bowstring and aimed at the lunatic on the hillside who pretended to be looking at the scenery.At the moment when the arrow was about to let go, a thought flashed in his mind, that this second generation ancestor was as foolish as the second young master.My mother is really Yuan Xi.

When I saw Guo Jia, he could only breathe out, not in. His eyes had lost all their former brilliance, only lifeless, his face was as pale as a dead man, and his hands didn't even have the strength to slap a mosquito to death. Indemnity, Tian Feng was lying next to his ear listening to him write the will.I lifted up the curtain and broke into the tent desperately. Seeing this situation, tears fell down my face; "Fengxiao—you are still alive—Buddha blesses you." In fact, I was thinking about the blessing of the Lord Tongtian.

Guo Jia couldn't hear me, but Tian Feng stood up in shock; "My lord——"

I didn't have time to say hello, so I ran over to grab Guo Jia's hand and feel his pulse.The fingers resonate with the pulse. I found that his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys are seriously out of balance, and the wind, fire, and phlegm are afflicted, causing dampness and poison to flow through the meridians, and Qi and blood are blocked.This is caused by insufficient qi and blood, coupled with unacceptable water and soil. Guo Jia's body is originally weak, coupled with the unbearable bumps of the long journey, over-thinking, and straining the spleen, resulting in a deficiency of qi and blood, and it is caused by the inability to rush up to the brain. Symptoms are pale complexion, confusion, and general fatigue.Hua Tuo's medical books usually have the effect of curing the disease with one hand. I took out the silver needle and treated it for him.Thinking about Hua Tuo's medical classics in his mind.

Acupuncture at Baihui to enhance the qi of clearing the intestines, so that the five internal organs and five elements can be reconciled.Another needle was pierced into the sea of ​​qi to replenish his depleted vitality.Then in Zusanli and Sanyinjiao, these two needles are the most important. Special rolling techniques are required, and the needles are inserted at the same time, rolling back and forth [-] times before the work is finished.It can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and absorb all the water and soil that he cannot absorb.For the last acupuncture at Hegu point, according to Hua Tuo's book, it must be pierced with a warm silver needle.After I sterilized the last silver needle, I inserted it directly into the Hegu acupoint of Guo Jia, crushed it fifteen times, and stared nervously at his facial expressions. Tian Chou, Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er, Zhu Ling, Yuan Yin, Zhou Cang and Changxi all walked in.Everyone held their breath and stared at Guo Jia.Cold sweat gradually oozes from my forehead. According to the medical scriptures, there should be a reaction at this time.But--

Just when I was burning with anxiety and was about to despair, Guo Jia's lower abdomen suddenly made a bone-like sound, and a strong airflow spurted out from the anus, shaking the blanket covering his body.Hu Che'er couldn't help running out first, followed by Zhang Xiu, Zhu Ling, and Yuan Yin.Tian Chou and Zhou Cang didn't run away. Tian Chou was so happy that he didn't smell bad.Zhou Cang was very moved to see that I didn't run away, and kept smacking his lips in his heart; the second son is really very human.God knows, it's not that I don't want to run, but my legs have been so smoked that I can't run.

Guo Jia's life was saved when the fart came out, but he was still groggy and had no intention of waking up.Zhou Cang has already recited the herbs I brought with the army.When I came here, I thought of all the difficult situations that I might encounter, as well as the diseases that he might suffer from.We have made preparations for things as small as a cold and cough, as big as apoplexy, typhoid and even smallpox.All the herbs are brought together.

I prescribed a prescription, and immediately handed it over to the soldiers to boil the medicine, and took Guo Jia's pulse, feeling that his vital energy and blood were smooth, so I sighed and wiped off my cold sweat this time with peace of mind.My mother, Feng Xiao, I finally got your life back.It's not in vain for you and me to meet each other, brother.Tian Feng asked nervously: "How about it, my lord." I nodded weakly: "Okay, I can't die."

Tian Feng looked at Guo Jia's expression softened, and happily threw the suicide note in his hand on the ground.I picked it up and looked at it, and I couldn't help but bang the door angrily, really wanting to inject two more injections into Guo Jia's body.I saw it said: "I have no regrets when I die, but there is one thing in my heart, and I can't die with peace. That is, the 200 taels of silver owed to me by the second son have not been repaid. Please be sure to pay me back after I die. Take it back—"It seems that I haven't finished writing yet.

Tian Feng smiled bitterly, I wanted to laugh ass, you are also an accomplice, and you want to ask me for a debt.I pointed at Guo Jia and cursed: "I told you that 200 taels of silver will be treated as medical expenses, and the debt will be settled in the future."

Tian Feng couldn't laugh or cry.Tian Chou didn't know why, Zhou Cang had no feelings for Yinzi, he only liked roast chicken, so he curled his lips.
