Rebirth of a Star General Chapter 107: Qiang people
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the rebirth actress!
In winter, it was very cold. The winter in Liangzhou is colder than that in Beijing. It’s fine in the daytime. You can also warm up your body during training, but it’s not too much. At night, you feel very cold. The firewood burning in the basin is far from enough.
The number of soldiers who went to Wulu River to bathe was much less, and they all went to boil hot water to wash themselves honestly. It was the same with He Yan. In a blink of an eye, Xiao Jue left for more than half a month.
She estimated that by this time, Xiao Jue probably had arrived in Zhangtai. But the coaches didn't talk about it on weekdays, and He Yan had no way of knowing the situation at Zhangtai. She still trains with the recruits every day, but because she is not fully healthy, she can't follow Xiao Jue's "triple daily training".
On this day, He Yan and the recruits were training footsteps at the martial arts field. It was almost evening when the training was gone, and He Yan was talking with Hong Shan.
Hong Shan rubbed his hands and breathed into the palms of his hands: "Ahe, do you think it's too cold these few days?"
"It's okay." He Yan said. When she was in the Fuyue Army, she used to fight by the river in winter, and the camp was stationed on the shore. At night, the river was windy and there was no firewood to burn. The soldiers slept together at night to keep out the cold. That was the real thing. It's freezing cold.
"You young people are tolerant of the cold." Hong Shan sighed with emotion and looked in the direction of Baiyue Mountain, "No matter how snowy in Liangzhou every day, it will be overnight."
He Yan followed his gaze and saw that Baiyue Mountain in winter was not as dense as summer. He glanced at it, and the snow was white and the mountain was sealed by heavy snow. Their recruits go up the mountain every few days to chop wood, and they can't go up the mountainside anymore. The higher they go, the thicker the snow, which is really not safe.
"In fact, hunting is the best in this weather," Mai said. "My eldest brother and I used to soak food in wine during the day and threw it next to the cave. There was nothing to eat in the winter. See you the rabbit and fox. Just eat and go out to pick it up at night. There are prey everywhere. It's effortless and simple. Baiyue Mountain is so big, there should be a lot of rabbits and foxes." He licked his lips.
"Stop it," He Yan urged, "I think you still gave up this idea. The terrain is complex and the snow is deep. Don't let the rabbit hit, you become a rabbit first."
"Brother Ahe looks down on people too much." Mai murmured.
While speaking, I saw the martial arts field leading to the end of the Baiyue Mountain horse road. A line of recruits came down. Walking in the middle was the doctor woman Shen Muxue wearing a jacket skirt.
She wore a moon-white coat skirt and a long apricot embroidered plum cloak. The hair band was also white. When she came slowly from the snow, she became more and more refined and beautiful, with a fairy jade color.
Hong Shan's eyes straightened, and he only said: "There is such a woman in the world who is born beautifully and has a very kind heart. On such a cold day, a weak woman went up the mountain to collect medicine for her injuries. Only a fairy can He has such a compassionate heart." At the end, he asked He Yan: "Don't you think?"
He Yan: "Not bad."
The recruits take turns going up the mountain to chop wood every few days, and Shen Muxue will follow along. There are some herbs on the mountain, and some can be found in winter. There is a shortage of medicinal materials in the guards, especially in winter, some soldiers have a wind chill, and it is difficult to heal for a while. Shen Muxue made some boiled cold concoctions, packed in wooden barrels, each one had a bowl, and after drinking, he sweated hotly, which was very good for the body.
She was not as strong as He Yan, soft and weak, and it was really commendable to be able to go up the mountain with the recruits in such a cold day.
"Who is the recruit behind her back?" Shishi asked with a frown.
Everyone looked and saw the recruit who followed Shen Muxue with a man on his back. This person did not wear a uniform strong suit, and at first glance, he was not a recruit from Liangzhouwei. They hadn't spoken yet, and the curious recruits had already rushed over to find out what was going on.
Not long after, a recruit who heard about the news came back and talked to his companions about what was going on. He Yan listened to it and heard people say: "That man is a hunter from the other side of the mountain. , Ventured up the mountain to hunt, but was trapped by the heavy snow. When Miss Shen and the others met this person on the road, this person was half of her body buried in the snow, or everyone shoveled him out of the snow and took half of his life back. ."
"Then he is also fortune and life, Baiyueshan is surprisingly cold, I am afraid that if he stays for a few more moments, the gods will be hard to save."
"Isn't it!"
Wheat muttered: "This weather is going up the mountain, it's really terrible."
"Then there is no way, the poor are not fortune-telling, and the family has no money to eat, no matter where they can take care of others." Hong Shan sighed.
After watching for a while, the crowd dispersed.
But the matter was endless. At night, Cheng Lisu came back and said he wanted to live in Xiao Jue's house. He Yan said strangely: "Aren't you unwilling to move back?"
Cheng Lisu said with a sad face: "The person rescued by Doctor Shen lives in our house today, so I was sent back. I can’t let him live in my uncle’s room. When my uncle comes back, I must be killed. . Forget it, I will make it difficult to live for a few days. After a few days, he will leave before I move back. Brother He, can you accompany me back to get the box tomorrow, I can’t move it alone."
"Of course, it's just that the time you have lived here is probably not a few days, but a long time." He Yan shook his head.
"Why?"
He Yan smiled and didn't answer. Li Su soon knew why He Yan said that.
On the second day, after the day training, He Yan accompanied Cheng Lisu back to fetch a few boxes in the shophouse, and happened to meet Shen Muxue to give medicine to the Orion who had been rescued yesterday.
He Yan looked at her hand. In addition to some decoctions for invigorating qi, and some medicines for frostbite, there are also some medicines for trauma. He Yan asked: "Miss Shen, is that person injured?"
"There are beasts in the forest. He encountered a bear and was attacked by the bear. When he dodges, he fell off the cliff before he was buried by the snow. It was traumatized."
Cheng Lisu asked: "Then he was seriously injured? Will he stay in Liangzhouwei for a long time? It will take a long time for me to move back."
"Young Master Cheng," Shen Muxue said helplessly: "Even if he is injured, he can't leave Liangzhouwei for the time being. He came from the other side of the mountain. Now Baiyue Mountain is covered by heavy snow. If the snow melts, or if it’s sunny for a few days, you can go up. Now let him go back, and he will only freeze to death on the mountain again."
When Cheng Lisu heard the words, he almost didn't jump up, "Doesn't that have to wait for a winter day!"
"When the second son comes back, there may be other ways." Shen Muxue said relievedly.
He Yan noticed that Shen Muxue said that Xiao Jue was not called "the governor" but "the second son". It did not mean master and servant, but seemed familiar. After thinking, several people have already arrived in front of the house.
There is no one else in the house at the moment. After the martial arts training, everyone went to eat and rest first. In the house, He Yan was lying on the edge of the wall before, and he was also lying alone at this moment. He was wearing a thin single coat and wrapped the quilt tightly, which seemed to be cold. Shen Muxue put the medicine tray on the table and turned to call him: "Hu Yuanzhong?"
The person lying on the bed heard this, and the bedding moved slightly. For a moment, he slowly sat up on the bed with his hands on the bed.
This is a man in his thirties. His skin is dark, and his lips are chapped to the point where he looks a little thin. He lifted the bedding, facing Shen Muxue and said hurriedly: "Shen, Doctor Shen."
"You should change your dressing." Shen Muxue said: "Sit down by the bed and pull up your trousers."
The man named Hu Yuanzhong looked even more nervous, rubbed his hands, and whispered: "How can I trouble the doctor, I'll do it myself." He bent down, and the moment he moved, he felt painful "hiss" Screamed.
Shen Muxue squatted down in front of Hu Yuanzhong when he saw it, and rolled up his trouser legs for him. As expected, the depths and depths of the legs were all scars, probably scratched by rocks and branches on the mountain.
"It's not good yet," Shen Muxue said: "I will take more medicine today."
Hu Yuanzhong nodded blankly.
"Let me come." At this moment, He Yan's voice came in. Before Shen Muxue could react, she stretched out her hand to grab the medicine in Shen Muxue's hand and knelt down: "Miss Shen, get up first. "
"This..." Hu Yuanzhong was a little surprised, "This little brother..."
"My name is He Yan. The cave you are sleeping on now belongs to me. Miss Shen is a girl. It is inconvenient. I come to apply medicine to Brother Hu. It should be fine, isn't it?" He Yan smiled and looked. Xiang Hu Yuanzhong.
Hu Yuanzhong breathed a sigh of relief: "Dang, of course, I don't want to bother Shen Doctor Woman."
"He Yan, stop messing around," Shen Muxue frowned slightly, "There are no men and women in front of the doctors, you don't know how to apply medicine."
"I can still wipe the wound medicine. Doctor Shen does not need to be nervous. You should show Cheng Lisu first. I saw that he has some cough this morning, so don't catch the cold."
Cheng Lisu said: "Yes, Doctor Shen, I feel a bit dry in my throat."
Shen Muxue was startled and said: "Really?" Then she stood up and said to Cheng Lisu: "You follow me outside, I'll take a look first."
The two of them left, and there were only Hu Yuanzhong and He Yan in the room.
He Yan cleaned up the blood oozing from his legs first, and applied a thin layer of wound medicine to him, while asking: "Brother Hu, your injury is a bit serious, is it very painful."
"Fortunately," Hu Yuanzhong said: "It's just some trauma." Even so, the voice was spoken through gritted teeth, and it was very difficult to see.
He Yan paused with his hands, and started a little heavier, Hu Yuanzhong cried out in pain: "Ah--"
"I'm sorry, Brother Hu," He Yan said, "I was not careful."
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Doctor Shen is still attentive. My big man is clumsy and hurts Brother Hu. Don't mind Brother Hu."
Hu Yuanzhong reluctantly smiled and said: "Where is it."
He Yan smiled and lowered his head to continue applying the medicine, with a cold snort in his heart.
Just now, she could see clearly. Although the surname Hu refused to say that he wanted to take medicine, he called it pain as soon as she moved. When Shen Muxue squatted down, this person's eyes flashed a trace of stealing. happiness. Although the hiding was excellent, He Yan saw it. She always hated people who were so excited. Shen Muxue saved Hu Yuanzhong's life, and Hu Yuanzhong could think about the savior. Who was this?
When he opened his trousers, He Yan could clearly see these so-called "serious injuries". They looked very messy, but they were all skin injuries. He Yan, a girl's home who suffered more severe injuries, could not say a word. This person is already poor and fighting for his life but also going up the mountain as prey. It is not so delicate. When people are hungry and can't afford to eat, there is no way to rack their brains to make bad ideas.
In a few words, you can probably see the character of this person. Shen Muxue was kind and innocent, and it was a doctor who looked at the wounded patients, and couldn't take a look at these twists and turns, but the onlookers at He Yan could see it clearly, only feeling uncomfortable in her heart.
"What plans does Brother Hu have after he is well injured?" He Yan asked.
Hu Yuanzhong scratched his head, "I...I didn't think about it."
"Why don't you stay in Liangzhouwei, as soldiers have enough to eat, but can't be hungry." He Yan jokes.
"...Also." Hu Yuanzhong said with a silly smile.
Is it okay to say that? He Yan was even more surprised now. She joked casually. Hu Yuanzhong actually agreed and didn't say anything "I'm sorry." It can be seen that he didn't feel grateful, and secondly, he never thought about the future. Intend.
A person who doesn’t know the way forward should always worry about how to plan for the future. How can he be so sloppy? He Yan felt unhappy. Wouldn't he want to rely on Liangzhouwei to take advantage of Shen Muxue all the time?
Thinking about this, He Yan gave him a good medicine in twos and then gave him the medicine bowl on one side, and said: "Brother Hu, take the medicine first."
Hu Yuanzhong reached out and took it: "Thank you."
He drank the medicine quite refreshingly. He stubbed his neck and groaned it. He handed the medicine bowl back to He Yan. He Yan stretched out his hand to pick it up. When he saw his outstretched hand, his mouth rose from the inside of his wrist. Full of red rashes.
He Yan paused.
Hu Yuanzhong noticed He Yan's actions and asked: "What happened to Brother He?"
"Brother Hu, if you want the rash on your hand, please also ask a doctor girl to see it." He Yan said, "Is it on the mountain?"
Hu Yuanzhong was taken aback for a moment, touched his wrist twice, and smiled: "No, it should go away in a few days. It's not a serious illness. Don't bother the doctor."
"So," He Yan nodded and smiled: "Then it's nothing."
She stared at Hu Yuanzhong, but did not speak for a while, staring at Hu Yuanzhong also strangely uncomfortable, touched her face, and said: "Brother He, but there is something on the lower face?"
"No." He Yan smiled and shook his head. "I will take out the empty bowl first. Although Miss Shen is a doctor, she is also a girl. I have nothing to do in the past few days, so I will run errands for Miss Shen, Brother Hu I will deliver all the medicines for the wounds." Well, pretending not to see the loss in Hu Yuanzhong's eyes, he turned around and went out.
Waiting out the door, Shen Muxue was telling Cheng Lisu to stick out her tongue to look. Seeing He Yan came out, she suspiciously said: "So fast?"
"There are not many wounds." He Yan asked, "How about Cheng Lisu?"
"I have eaten too spicy these days, and my throat is smoking." Cheng Lisu embarrassed the review: "It's nothing big."
"Then it's okay, let's go back." He Yan returned the medicine tray to Shen Muxue, and said to Shen Muxue: "I have also agreed with Brother Hu, and I will take the medicine for Brother Hu's injuries in the past few days. Come and send it. From tomorrow on, I will come to Miss Shen’s room at this time every day to pick up the medicine and send it to Brother Hu. Miss Shen doesn’t have to run again."
Shen Muxue still hesitated: "This..."
"It's settled, it's because Ms. Shen gave me the box of scar removal and muscle regeneration cream." He Yan took Cheng Lisu's shoulder, "Then let's go ahead."
He and Cheng Lisu are far away.
On the way, Cheng Lisu asked him: "Brother He, what's the matter with you?"
"What?" He Yan returned to his senses.
"After you came out of Hu Yuanzhong's house, you stopped talking. What happened in the house just now? You quarreled?"
"No." He Yan took two steps, thought for a while, stopped and said to Cheng Lisu: "You go back first, I have something to do with Hongshan and the others."
"But you haven't eaten yet."
"I'll go and ask for two steamed buns." He Yan waved his hand: "You go back and wait for me first. See you later."
……
Hong Shan and Mai were drinking porridge. When He Yan was here, they made room for her and said, "Why are you here so late today? I thought you weren't coming."
"There is something on the road." He Yan took a steamed bun, did not gobble it up like usual, stopped after only one bite, and muttered for a long time before saying: "Brother Shan, Shishi, I have something to help you. "
"Why is it so serious?" Hong Shan put down the bowl in his hand, "What can still be used for us?"
"The hunter Hu Yuanzhong, who was rescued by Doctor Shen from the mountain yesterday, is now in your house, isn't it?" He Yan said, "These few days, I have to train in the daytime, can you help me stare at night? Him?"
Hong Shan and Shitou looked at each other, no matter what, Hong Shan asked: "Why don't I understand what you said, what happened to Hu Yuanzhong? Why should I stare at him?"
"...I think something is wrong with him."
Now, even Wheat can't even bother to eat. The atmosphere is solemn for a moment, and the stone whispered: "What's wrong?"
"Maybe I thought a lot, but I'm not sure yet. It's just that I think it's not a coincidence that maybe he was rescued by Doctor Shen on the mountain."
Hearing this, Hong Shan's eyes widened: "A spy?"
"Keep your voice down," He Yan said, "I just doubt it, so I ask you to help stare at him to see if there is any movement in the night, and if there is any unusual behavior."
"No," Hong Shan still felt unbelievable. "You have to tell us what is wrong with him first, so that you can suspect that there is a problem with him."
He Yan took a deep breath and said: "I will tell you later, I can only ask you to help me stare."
"I hope I think more." She whispered softly.
……
At night, after parting with Hongshan and the others, He Yan returned to his house. After getting acquainted with it, he collapsed, and was full of troubles to fall asleep.
It was an accident to see Hu Yuanzhong today. Who knew that in the end, she would be upset and surprised, and she just felt restless.
What he said to Hongshan and the others was not made up by He Yan. She indeed suspected that Hu Yuanzhong was a spy who had mixed into Liangzhouwei, and she had other purposes. As for how the suspicious point was discovered, it was because she handed the decoction to Hu Yuanzhong today. When Hu Yuanzhong returned it, he taught her to see a dense rash from the other side's tiger's mouth to the inside of his wrist.
It reminded her of the Qiang people.
The place where the Qiang people live is densely forested, and the climate is humid all year round. The soldiers of the Qiang nationality usually hold a knife, from the tiger’s mouth to the wrist, it is easy to grow such a red rash. When He Yan was General Feihong, he deliberately searched for military doctors to study together. These Qiang people came to enter the Central Plains, but the rash did not disappear in a moment.
So, when she saw the red rash on Hu Yuanzhong's mouth, she almost immediately thought of those Qiang soldiers coming. It's just not entirely certain. Because of the red rashes in the world, they all look the same, maybe because of the humid climate, or they can grow because of touching some sensitive things. There is really no need to suspect someone because of a rash.
But probably because He Yan developed a habit of acting cautiously when he was a general, especially when dealing with Qiang people. It could also be because Hu Yuanzhong's vague thoughts about Shen Muxue were noticed by He Yan, and he had a bad impression of being preconceived, and now he immediately suspected him.
If you think about it carefully, there are indeed all kinds of doubts. For example, if the snow on the mountain is so heavy, the other side of Baiyue Mountain will be shaded, and the snow will only get deeper. Their recruits couldn't even climb over here, and how did Hu Yuanzhong jump over from that end alone. Since he said that he was poor at home and couldn't open the pot, and had nowhere to go before going up the mountain to hunt, why didn't he find some gentler ways? For example, go to the dock to help people move goods, do some hard work for people, at least temporarily resist hunger and cold, you must know that hunting on Baiyue Mountain, the best situation is to hunt wild beasts to alleviate urgent needs, but more likely, it is to die on the mountain , Both people and wealth are empty.
Leave the easier way instead of going, and go on a difficult path that seems unthinkable. This is not going up to the difficulties, it is stupid. Apparently, he pretended to call pain to deceive Shen Muxue to take care of him personally, but he didn't look like a stupid person.
The more He Yan thinks about it, the more he feels suspicious. Unfortunately, now that Xiao Jue is not there, she can't remind Xiao Jue. But even if Xiao Jue was there, she couldn't directly say the most important doubt. The Qiang nationality and Shuojing are thousands of miles away. It is impossible for the recruits of Liangzhouwei to meet the soldiers of the Qiang nationality. Even Xiao Jue may have never fought against the Qiang nationality. How can He Yan, a person born in the capital, learn about the secret habits of the Qiang nationality , I'm afraid that as soon as she speaks it out, it is not Hu Yuanzhong who is suspected first, but herself.
At that time, she led Fu soldiers to put down the Western Qiang Rebellion, and the Qiang leader Ridamuji died in battle, and all the other Qiang people surrendered. In the following years, there was nothing wrong with each other, and the Qiang people were very stable and had never heard of turmoil. But... does not mean that you can really relax.
If this is really a Qiang, an ordinary unarmed civilian, how could he accidentally climb the Baiyue Mountain in such a snowy day, but he was picked up by Shen Muxue and entered Liangzhou Guard.
Too many coincidences are no coincidences. Someone must do it deliberately.
Now that Xiao Jue is not there, if there is any conspiracy, how to deal with it.
Isn't Xiao Jue... Isn't Xiao Jue?
For an instant, He Yan sat up, and a terrible thought flashed through his mind.
Why such a person came when Shan Shan Xiao Jue was away, could it be... All the requests for help from Zhangtai were all fake? "The claim to hit the east, but actually hit the west", did she forget the article in the military book that she has to recite every day?
At some point, the snow stopped.
He Yan raised his eyes and looked out the window. The sound of the wind outside was quiet, snow covered the ground, and even a needle dropped on the ground was clearly audible.
But in the calm, there may be a horrifying undercurrent hidden in the sky, just wait for the time to come, and the flood will be overwhelming.
------Off topic------
This article is empty, place names and country names are all fictitious. The Qiang is not a modern Qiang, but an empty fiction. I also have friends from the Qiang, who are very hospitable. (There really is no meaning of regional black)
