Destroy Jin and conquer Song, and carry the Northern Expedition through to the end

Chapter 106 How Dare You Claim to Be a National Medical Master

The guard had been covering the little girl's eyes until they reached this point, then he said angrily, "Those thieves killed everyone in the village. We only found this one alive in an abandoned water tank, and her legs..."

Liu Huai hurried forward and found that the side of the little girl's thigh had a big cut made by something, and it was already a little red and swollen.

It was not known whether the little girl was frightened or was born brave, but she had not cried since she was taken out of the jar. She just stared at Liu Huai with her big black eyes.

Liu Huai smiled in response, took out a piece of candy from his arms, and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth: "Nannan, does it hurt?"

The little girl sucked the candy hard, feeling its sweetness, and then took it out reluctantly: "It hurt just now, but now that I've eaten this sweet thing, the pain is gone."

"Then keep eating."

The little girl shook her head: "I want to keep it sweet for my father and mother to taste."

Liu Huai looked at the guard holding the little girl.

The guard slowly shook his head.

Liu Huai gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted to Luo Huaiyan, "Luo Erlang, bring us some water and medicine for wounds, then come over and hold this girl. The rough guys here are all wearing armor, don't hurt her."

Xin Qiji stepped forward to take the little girl and let her lie on his arms: "Let me do it, I'm stronger."

The little girl looked at Xin Qiji with her big dark eyes: "Thank you, uncle."

Xin Qiji, who was invincible on the battlefield and killed all enemies, felt as if he had received incredible praise and suddenly felt at a loss.

Liu Huai took the kettle handed to him by Luo Huaiyan. Of course, there was no alcohol in it, but boiled well water.

He had always wanted to get some alcohol for disinfection of the wounded soldiers' camp. Although the alcohol fermentation technology was mature in this era, and the production process of rice wine, fruit wine and rice wine was not a secret recipe, it only needed to add the distillation process to make disinfectant alcohol with higher purity.

But now there is not enough food for people to eat, so where is the extra food to make wine?

So Liu Huai had to settle for the second best and use boiled well water instead of the alcohol used for debridement.

Add some hygiene regulations and clean wound medicine and gauze to reduce the infection rate as much as possible.

It cannot be said that there is no effect, but after all, the conditions are insufficient, and coupled with the hot weather, there will still be people whose wounds are infected.

That would be a pure death.

"Nannan, eat another piece of candy and bear the pain." Liu Huai said softly.

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded vigorously.

Liu Huai first cleaned the wound with water, then applied gold medicine on the wound, and finally wrapped it with several layers of gauze.

The little girl was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes and sweat formed on her forehead, but in the end she just held the candy in her mouth without saying a word.

"You're so strong, Nannan." After finishing his work, Liu Huai rubbed the little girl's head and said, "I forgot to ask you just now, what's Nannan's name?"

The little girl sniffed and said, "Uncle, my name is San Ya."

"Saya, come with uncle, okay?"

The little girl shook her head: "I want to wait for my father and mother."

Xin Qiji took over the conversation: "Your father and mother are guests at my house. Your uncle will take you to meet them."

The little girl nodded sensibly, and then her wound seemed to be touched again. She trembled all over and tears finally flowed down her face.

"Liu Dalang, my Xin family is rebelling, so there are some women and children in the camp. I will temporarily settle them down." In this situation, at this time and place, Liu Huai could only nod in agreement.

After all, he only brought two servants here instead of a large army, and there was no way he could take a little girl on a long journey.

After another delay of a while, Xin Qiji asked his men to cut off the heads of the bandits, then he held the little girl in his arms and took Liu Huai and others with him and headed northwest.

After only five or six miles along the Anzi River, they encountered more than ten waves of scouts, and there were also scouts coming and going on the other side of the stream. This gave Liu Huai a glimmer of hope. This large mob didn't seem as bad as he had previously expected.

As the two armies marching in formation on both sides of the Anzi River got closer and closer, the hope that had just emerged grew bigger and bigger.

The easiest way to observe whether an army is elite or useless is to look at its marching formation.

An army with neat formations is not necessarily elite, but an army that lets go of the big sheep while marching is definitely not elite.

As the vanguard, the Rulin Army on the opposite side of the river and the Xin Army directly in front of them, although not as vigorous and powerful as the wind and rapid progress, were definitely in good order and in good order.

Xin Qiji drove straight to the center of the Xin army. Behind the center were a number of baggage carts. He came to a cart and handed the girl in his arms to the old woman on the cart.

"Fourth Aunt, the child had a bad experience at home. He has a minor leg injury, but it's been bandaged up. He's being temporarily placed with the Tenth Child and the others."

"Oh, what a sin!" The old woman stretched out her hand with pity in her eyes, but the little girl grabbed Xin Qiji's clothes with a look of panic on her face.

"Uncle, I want my father and mother. Don't send me away...Take me to see my father and mother. Aren't they here?"

The crying seemed to tear the little girl's wound. She couldn't help but cover her thigh and wanted to lick the candy in her hand, but she was obviously reluctant to do so and could only endure it.

Liu Huai rode his horse forward, took the little girl, and held her gently in his arms: "Nannan, the uncles still have things to do. You just follow Fourth Aunt obediently. Your father and mother will be here in a couple of days. When the uncles are done, they will come back and bring you some extra candy. How about that?"

The little girl sobbed twice and wiped her tears. Dust mixed with tears smeared her face like a smear: "Uncle, you must bring candy."

Liu Huai smiled and nodded: "I promise."

The little girl finally stretched out her arms to the old woman, and the old woman also stretched out her arms and held the little girl in her arms.

Liu Huai gave a few more instructions and waited for Xin Qiji to tell his deputy general about the camping location. Before he continued to head towards Geng Jing, he heard a hearty laugh.

"Brother Liu! Liu Dalang! I just heard someone tell me you're here, but I didn't believe it. How could you be so fast? Did you fly here?"

Li Tieqiang pulled the reins of his horse and stopped in front of Liu Huai. He looked surprised, reached out and held Liu Huai's arm, and spoke loudly.

"You and the Duke of Wei actually came here. No, considering the distance you traveled, you actually went back and then, without even a moment's pause, marched straight here to attack. You truly are true men of action, true heroes!"

Liu Huai and Li Tieqiang held hands together, and then they immediately found that the hem of Li Tieqiang's robe and the belly of his horse were wet. After hearing the news of Liu Huai's arrival, this guy did not stop for a moment, nor did he look for a ferry bridge, but directly floated his horse across the river.

"Big Iron Spear, you said you'd see me in the future with wealth and success." Liu Huai also smiled, "I never thought that when we meet now, you'll already be leading an army, while I'll be covered in dust and in such a mess."

Li Tieqiang's smile faded, and he sighed softly, "Don't be ridiculous, Dalang. I just can't believe that with your abilities, after going all the way with Xin Wulang, you still can't figure out the strength of our Dongping Army."

"Our Dongping Army is now like a sickly fat man, strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

Liu Huai grabbed Li Tieqiang's arm with his backhand and said, "The purpose of my trip is to see your Dongping Army with my own eyes. I want to see the generals, soldiers, civilians, and staff. In addition, I also want to have a chat with your leader Geng."

Li Tieqiang rolled his eyes. "What? Are you, Liu Dalang, a miracle doctor? You can prescribe a medicine just by looking at us and cure us instantly?"

Liu Huai smiled and said, "Of course I don't have this ability, but if you are sick, don't you want a quack like me to take a look? Maybe it will help."

Li Tieqiang and Xin Qiji exchanged a glance and said, "Dalang, what you said makes sense. It just so happens that we're going to cross Mengshan in the next two days. There will be a military meeting tomorrow morning. We'll take you there."
