Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 303
The further south you go, the more frightening you get.

The sun is like fire, the fields are dry, and people fleeing famine can be seen along the way.

The shadow of war is everywhere, and people under the blazing flames are so oppressed that they can't breathe.

Ji Wei's team of dozens of people was very excited at the beginning when they followed the Guangling County King southward, but after bumping hundreds of miles down the road, the group lost all energy.

Traveling day and night, sleeping in the open air, people have nothing to eat, horses have nothing to drink, they are extremely tired...

In the past, he could still rob people along the way to make a living, but now under Fu Jiuqu's nose, he dared not do anything wrong again.

They endured, but Fu Jiuqu not only did not intend to stop to take a breath, nor did he distribute food.

The inquiries in the queue gradually turned into complaints.

"Master Ji, are we going to keep going like this?"

"If you don't give me something to eat and drink, let alone us, the horses can't bear it anymore."

"Master Ji, I don't think the county king is at ease. Maybe he wants to treat us like food..."

The surrounding guards kept complaining in Ji Wei's ears, and some even insulted them in a low voice, saying that Fu Jiuqu didn't treat soldiers as human beings, and instead ate meat and drank in the carriage by himself, letting them go to the battlefield hungry.

Ji Wei glanced at the carriage in front of him, and greeted his mother with eight hundred sentences in his heart, but he had to bite the bullet and persuade him.

"Be patient, wait until Guizhou to catch up with the big troops."

"Master Ji..." A confidant reminded in a low voice, "If we let them know about us abandoning the city and fleeing...will they still give us a chance to be rewarded for our meritorious deeds?"

Ji Wei lowered his face, "Fuck your mother! We escaped because we were defeated in battle. My wife and daughter died in the city, so why abandon the city and run away? Don't scare yourself with nonsense."

After the training, Ji Wei sighed again.

"Furthermore, what if I don't seek refuge with Di Qing? Take my brothers up the mountain to become bandits?"

The crowd was silent.

They knew very well in their hearts that when Di Qing came, under the suppression of the 20 army, Nong Zhigao would not be able to jump for a long time. When the war was over, the matter of abandoning the city would definitely be settled one by one.

If you don't commit crimes and make meritorious service, where can you escape?
In the whole world, could it be the land of the king, could it be the land of the king, could it be the subjects of the king...

They have no choice.

To please Fu Jiuqu is the only chance to survive.

The convoy traveled all the way south without stopping, just like moving ants, winding on the official road in a mighty way.

When it was dark, the temperature dropped slightly, and a few wisps of wind mixed with the scorching heat made them cooler than during the day, but hunger, thirst and fatigue made them more irritable, their throats seemed to be on fire, and they felt dizzy...

"I'm going to ask the King of Guangling County for water." A school lieutenant spit out and rushed forward suddenly.

"No, absolutely not." Ji Wei hurriedly stopped him, "Brothers, the county king is testing us. If we offend him, we're afraid we won't get a good result when we get to General Di."

The captain looked at Ji Wei's bulging horse sac, the light in his eyes dimmed a little.

"My lord doesn't have to worry about food and drink, but we brothers can't starve to death, right? And these horses, if they don't eat and drink, they will fall down... If your lord doesn't go, I will go."

Fu Jiuqu, who was sitting in the carriage, naturally knew the atmosphere behind the convoy.Therefore, when the sallow-faced captain came to see him immediately, Fu Jiuqu opened the curtain.

"What's the matter?"

The captain looked at him uneasily, then lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we haven't had food or drink for a day. We can't bear it, and the horse is also tired, so we can hardly walk."

Fu Jiuqu said indifferently: "When you go to seek refuge with General Di, don't you plan to eat or drink, and bring dozens of mouths?"

The captain swallowed his saliva, "We can fight and work hard."

Fu Jiuqu chuckled, "If you can fight and risk your life, why did you abandon the city and run away?"

The lieutenant's face changed, showing panic, "I, I..." He looked at Fu Jiuqu uneasily, muttered a few times, but finally did not explain.

"I'm guilty! But I'm definitely not a person who covets life and fears death..."

"That's all." Fu Jiuqu glanced at him lightly, and said slowly: "Seeing that you still have a bit of backbone, this king entrusts you with an errand."

The captain was stunned: "What?"

Fu Jiuqu smiled slightly, looked at his expectant eyes, and said indifferently: "Cheng Cang, feed him, and send him to send a letter to the king to explore the road!"

Cheng Cang responded and looked at the man: "Follow me."

The school lieutenant was overjoyed, "I will never let down the entrustment of the county king."

After the sound of the horse's footsteps went away, Xin Yi asked Fu Jiuqu with a sideways look.

"Why did Brother Jiu give him an errand? Can you trust Ji Wei's people?"

Fu Jiuqu smiled faintly, "There were dozens of people, thirsty and hungry, and none of them dared to come up to me. He was the only one who had the courage to come. For his courage, he should be given a chance to die on the battlefield." Opportunity."

Xin Yi felt sympathetic.

He deserves to die on the battlefield alone?

What about Ji Wei, doesn't he deserve to die on the battlefield?
Before Xin Yi could ask him, Fu Jiuqu opened the curtain of the car and asked Duan Sui to call the team to stop.

"Rest in place and give food to horses."

Duan Sui happily replied: "Yes, Lord Jiu."

It is said that it is food distribution, but there is not much food left in the carriage.

People can suffer, but horses are unreasonable. If they are really hungry, they will go on strike.

Duan Sui asked people to remove the millet and buckets from the carriage, giving priority to satisfying the horses, and everyone ate something hastily.

The dry food was gone, so Duan Sui carried a bag of fine food and a bucket of water to let Ji Wei and his group figure out their own way.

There was no pot and no stove, these people looked at each other in a daze, and with a sudden determination, they chewed and swallowed the raw rice, and then drank a few sips of clean water, which was regarded as a temporary solution to the famine.

In the carriage, the breeze blows the curtains.

Fu Jiuqu took out smoked beef jerky and two green apples wrapped in oiled paper from the drawer, and stuffed them into Xin Yi's hands.

"eat fast."

Xin Yi was shocked, "Ninth Brother, you actually hid things privately?"

When meeting the victims, Xin Yi felt pity when he saw several sallow and emaciated children, and gave them all the fruit snacks and jerky that Gao Miao had prepared for him...

Unexpectedly, Fu Jiuqu actually hid so many good things in the drawer.

Xin Yi couldn't help laughing, picked up the apple and wiped it on his sleeve, and was about to put it in his mouth, but was stopped by Fu Jiuqu.

But he took out a dagger, took the fruit and peeled it carefully, then put it on a white handkerchief and handed it to Xin Yi.

"Don't worry, there's still more to eat."

With a sour mouth, Xiong picked up the peel.

"What a waste to lose..."

"Feed the horse."

"Okay. Ninth brother is wise, thinking farther than I do..."

Thinking of Fu Jiuqu secretly hiding things, Xin Yi couldn't help being funny, and teased him with a pun.

Fu Jiuqu's eyes were cold and indifferent, "Things without conscience."

Xin Yi smiled lowly, and handed the peeled apple to Fu Jiuqu's mouth: "Come on, conscience is here. Take a bite!"

Fu Jiuqu didn't start, "I don't like to eat."

Xin Yi smiled and snorted, "This is called sharing weal and woe. If you don't eat, I won't either."

Seeing her stubbornness, Fu Jiuqu took a bite.

"How far is the grandma mountain you mentioned from the state capital?"

Xin Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head.

To her, this plot is just a plot, running the map is direct, how can she know how far it is?

Fu Jiuqu: "You...you little liar."

Seeing this guy grit his teeth, Xin Yi frowned suddenly, and said suspiciously: "Ninth brother, you follow me to distribute food to the people, have you ever thought about what will you do if I can't find water and food?"

Fu Jiuqu pursed his lips, and flicked her on the head, "I didn't count on you. I figured it out. When everyone takes a breather and leaves at midnight, it will be noon tomorrow to reach Guizhou in one breath. Even if there is a lack of water and food, It doesn't matter..."

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then Brother Jiu, have you ever thought about the fact that Guizhou is also short of water?"

The army will carry food and grass when going out, and there will be supplies on the road, but if there is a lack of water, it will be troublesome.

Fu Jiuqu smiled faintly, and held Xin Yi's hand.

"There will be a way, and I won't starve you."

Xin Yi took a bite of the fruit, looked at him and smiled.

"Does Brother Nine know about Mount Lang? Grandma Mountain is located at the junction of South Jinghu Road and West Guangnan Road, on the side of Mount Lang. There are red soil and red clouds on Langshan Mountain. It has a unique landform and is easy to identify. When you get there, you can find it after asking... ..."

Fu Jiuqu's eyes wandered, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Didn't you just say, I don't know how far away? Liar"

Xin Yi blinked, "Brother Jiu asked me how far I was from the state capital, but I really don't know. How could I lie to you?"

Fu Jiuqu nodded her head, half of the moonlight seemed to be reflected on her cold face, and she smiled faintly.

"Xin Yi, you can always surprise me."

~

When the golden glow rising from the east passed through the clouds and sprinkled on the earth, the group of people had already arrived at the junction of the two states.

After walking all night, anxiety gradually grew in the sleepy and hungry team.

Xin Yi saw the familiar outline of Langshan, and the big rock fell down.

It hasn't changed, it's exactly the same as what she saw in "Bianjing Fu".

"Brother Nine, about a mile further on is Grandma Mountain."

Seeing that she spoke with certainty, as if she had been there before, Fu Jiuqu's eyes became more suspicious, but he didn't ask any further questions, but instead ordered the convoy to stop.

"Cheng Cang, you take people to wait where you are, look for water sources nearby, and feed the horses to satisfy their hunger. Duan Sui, call three or five people to go ahead of me to explore the way."
