I don't know how long it took before Sun Tu gradually broke free from the shackles of darkness and regained his consciousness little by little. Although he was temporarily unable to open his eyes, his body had some sensations. He found that he was lying flat and had some ups and downs.
After a while, he remembered some of the previous things. He was hit by an arrow and fell into the water. In order to escape the one or two hundred people chasing him along the river, he even used his hands to the extreme to remove the arrow inserted into his body. The arrow shaft was broken, and he put on all the diving equipment underwater. He used his last strength to swim down the current more than ten miles away.
Yes, that outfit that surprised the businessman who rescued him was the later-generation diving suit he took out in time from the warehouse. As for the mask and cylinder, they are naturally underwater oxygen supply equipment. It was precisely because of the help of such tools that were far ahead of his time that Sun Tu was able to escape and save his life despite being seriously injured.
What Xiao Yanping and others did before was not wrong. The upstream and downstream areas were added up to a total of twenty miles. No matter how good the water quality is, people have to come out of the water to breathe for a certain distance underwater. Then they can be beaten by them. Captured or killed alive. But Sun Tu relied on a complete set of diving equipment and had to swim for twenty miles before he finally surfaced. At this time, the Liao people were still looking for him in the distance.
As for the origin of this set of diving equipment, it is also very simple. As early as when he first opened several warehouses, his No. 2 warehouse contained many sports and diving equipment. Over the years, sports equipment has been used, such as the previous snowboards. It comes from this. Another example is the earlier Cuju battle with the Liao envoy. He also provided sportswear for the entire team. However, it was these diving equipment that he did not use until this critical moment of life and death.
It's just that he, who was seriously injured, was finally exhausted after such an all-out dive. In addition, he was relieved after confirming that he was out of danger. Sun Tu didn't have time to go ashore or put on his oxygen mask or anything. After it was removed, he fainted directly into the river.
If the diving suit hadn't had a certain amount of buoyancy to hold him up, and if he hadn't been caught by the caravan following the current, he might have died in this scene.
Of course, at this time, Sun Tu didn't know that he had been rescued. He found that his body was undulating and bumpy. He only knew that he was still in the water, so he tried hard to maintain his balance. At the same time, he wanted to open his eyes so that he could see clearly the surroundings. Condition. At this moment, a slightly joyful voice sounded in my ears: "You've finally woken up."
"Well..." Sun Tu suddenly realized that he had been rescued. His tense body finally relaxed. At least he no longer had to worry about sinking into the water at any time. But soon, he began to worry about whether he would be captured by the Liao people, but he soon gave up this idea. With the ferocity of the fighting that day, if he really fell into the hands of those Liao people, he would have been captured long ago. If someone is killed with a single blow, who will go to great lengths to save himself
After his mood calmed down, his body consciousness became clearer and his strength slowly returned, finally allowing him to slowly open his eyelids. Then he felt the scorching sun in the sky and the dazzling light, which made him subconsciously close his eyes again. After a while, he opened his eyes again. This time he was finally able to adapt to the light in front of him. Then Sun Tu finally saw a smiling and concerned face in front of him, and he vaguely felt that the other person was still familiar.
See the confusion in his eyes
, Huangfu Duan, who happened to come over to change his dressing, smiled and whispered: "General Sun, do you still remember that you wanted to spend 5,000 yuan to buy a horse in the Sheep and Horse Market in Nanjing City?"
This sentence finally reminded Sun Tu, but his throat was dry, his lips were difficult to open, and he could hardly make any sound. He could only use his eyes to indicate that he had recognized the other party. In addition to understanding, there is also a sense of gratitude.
The other party didn't say anything more to him. He just told him: "General Sun, your injuries are really serious. Please take a good rest. If you have anything to say, I'll talk to you later." After saying that, he fed him something to drink. After taking the decoction, he got off the car and left. Only then did Sun Tu realize that he was lying on a wooden cart, with a blazing red sun above his head. No wonder he felt so dazzling just now.
Although I haven't figured out the specific situation yet, I don't even know where I am. But one thing he already knew was that he was safe for the time being. So he, who was already weak and had just woken up, fell asleep again after feeling relieved.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, when he woke up again, Sun Tu could clearly feel the hunger in his stomach, and the pain from wounds on his shoulders and back was also coming in waves. However, this made him feel even more excited and happy. This meant that his body functions were gradually returning to normal, and he might be able to have the strength to sit up in a while.
This time his energy was obviously better than before, so he woke up for a while, but this time he didn't meet Huangfu to bring him to change the dressing, and finally fell back to sleep with full of questions.
When he woke up for the third time, Sun Tu found himself in a small tent with a bonfire lit outside. Just when he was trying to support himself, Huangfu Duan appeared again. Upon seeing this, he hurried forward: "General Sun, are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for saving your life, Sun Tu will never forget it..." He was finally able to speak. Although it was still a bit difficult and vague, at least he could communicate with the other party normally, which made him feel relieved.
"General Sun's physique is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people. He was so seriously injured that he gradually recovered in only more than ten days." Huangfu Duan also praised him with some joy.
"Have I... been unconscious for so long? Where did you save me, and where is this?" Sun Tu wanted to throw out all the questions in his heart at this time, so he asked urgently.
Huangfu Duan stepped forward to untie the cloth belt on his body to check the wound, and whispered: "It must have been twelve days since I rescued the general from the river. As for the specific location where I rescued you, it's hard to say. It should be in the river sixty or seventy miles west of Nanjing. Now we are on the way to Xia Kingdom, and we still have seven or eight days to travel from Xijing."
Sun Tu was suddenly stunned. According to what he said, he was probably hundreds of miles away from Youzhou City at this time. He really didn't expect to go so far. He had already crossed half of the Liao Dynasty. But after thinking about it again, I realized that this might not be a bad thing. At least this way, I would be completely safe.
After settling his thoughts, Sun Tucai remembered something else: "Brother Huangfu is really a very kindhearted person. You and I have only met each other once. I even almost caused you to suffer, but you are still willing to save me."
Huangfu Duan laughed cheerfully: "What happened that day was not actually your fault. How could I blame General Sun? And it's not my generation's fault to ignore death. Even if I
I dare not call myself a hero, and I will never do anything that goes against conscience and morality. What's more, the one who really saved you was not me, but the other horse dealers who were traveling with me, or it could be said to be a colt, because it was the first one to find you in the water and stopped you from being washed away by the river. Go and call the others. "
"There is such a thing! It seems that I have many saviors." Sun Tu sighed in surprise, and then remembered something and said: "But my identity..."
"General Sun, please don't worry. No one here except me knows that you are a Song general. And there are also many Han people in this team, so not many people will care about this." , as if to make Sun Tu feel more at ease, he added: "Furthermore, my mother's family is also Han. Although it seems to have foreign blood, half of it is also Han."
Sun Tu nodded. In fact, he was not worried because of his identity as a Song Dynasty person, but because of the previous turmoil in Youzhou. He was worried that the Liao Kingdom would go to war with the Song Dynasty because of this, which would put him in danger and might even implicate him. If he comes to these horse dealers, he will really feel guilty.
After a moment of silence, Sun Tu finally couldn't bear to deceive and take advantage of the other party, so he briefly told the previous changes in Youzhou, and then asked expectantly: "It has been about half a month, I wonder if you have received any information. What’s the news? What’s the result now in Youzhou…Nanjing?”
To be honest, since he was temporarily safe, Sun Tu was most concerned about the safety of Tong Guan and the others, and whether this matter would cause a war between the two countries. Although the Song Dynasty has formed an alliance with the Jin Kingdom, it will still take some time to deploy before the war can begin. It would not be a good thing if the war really started at this time.
Huangfu Duan was completely stunned by his words, with a look of horror on his face: "Did such a big thing happen in Nanjing? We really don't know anything about it." In this era, communications are already backward, even in the Song Dynasty. It would take ten and a half days for the imperial court to know something unexpected happened in the place. Naturally, the situation in Daliao was even worse. And that's still for the government. It will take a few months for the people to know the results of some things.
After Sun Tu figured this out, he finally felt relieved. Since everyone was here and so much time had passed, no matter what the final outcome would be, he could only accept it. Now that he is seriously injured, it seems that he can only stay in this caravan temporarily and go with them to Xixia to see if there is a chance to take a detour back to the Song Dynasty after he recovers from his injuries.
After making up his mind, Sun Tu remembered the defense map that he had hidden in the Jie Zhongjie system after entering the water. Now it seems that coming here is the best outcome. At least this way, there will be a chance to successfully bring this blueprint related to the war situation between the two countries to the Song Dynasty safely.
When Sun Tu truly regained consciousness, Xiao Yanping finally gave up the search and returned to Youzhou City. This time he led people to search for hundreds of miles upstream and downstream, and also had people launch boats and pull nets, but still found nothing. In this way, he also had the answer. I am afraid that Sun Tuzhen escaped from death and hid somewhere.
