-Twenty-one years after Linde-
The first snow fell outside the fortress, and the goose feather snow was accumulating on the grassland, and the vast expanse of white was dazzling. When the snow melts, it is the coldest, and it is not known when the second snow will fall. The people who have lived in the frontier for a long time took advantage of the opportunity of the snow to stop, and took out the skins that were hunted on weekdays and came to the city not far from the gate. At the market, or change some daily necessities, or change some food, so as to survive the winter. Wei Jiang and the two were arranged to work, bought some thick furs from the market, and hurried all the way to the city gate.
"I said can you change the side of your saber?" Wei Lin said unhappily.
Hearing this, Jiang also frowned and choked back: "My saber is on the left, and your saber is also on the left, why should I change it?"
"I'm in the way." Wei Lin said, and moved slightly to the left. But this road happened to be narrow, and even though it was moved away a little, Jiang Ye's saber was still rubbing against the animal skin that Wei Lin was carrying from time to time. Jiang also ignored this and continued walking without saying a word. Wei Lin really thought that his saber was in the way, and said again: "Anyway, you can't beat anyone. You can just throw the saber, and it's useless..."
"Why did I say so much to you?" Jiang replied impatiently, but he put the saber back a bit, but during the walk, the saber kept swaying, and Wei Lin was still bothered by it, and said, "Either You give me the saber."
"Either I'll give you all the fur and I'll pack lightly."
"You want to be beautiful." Wei Lin was helpless, choked back and could only shut up and hurry on the road.
Originally, it was relatively close to Qianyuhui, but Qianyu is not half as prosperous as Lianshuimen, and Lianshuimen will be chosen instead of Qianyu for business. The reason for this is probably because there is Beilu Mountain at the border of Lianshuimen as a natural barrier, but Qianyu does not, and foreigners will choose Qianyu when they invade. Over time, the local officials in Guizhou are too lazy to build any more. It is better to be poorer for such a boundary that is going to suffer at any time.
On the way from the camp to Lianshuimen, you must pass Beilu Mountain. The two of them were at the foot of Beilu Mountain at this time, next to the towering Qizhen Peak that could not see the top, and on the other side was the dense forest, it was really inconvenient to walk.
In the blink of an eye, they have been stationed here for nearly three years.
The two were still angry about the saber matter, and Shoudijiang also saw that there was blue in the cracks in the stone in front of him, so he immediately put down what was in his hand and reached out to stop Wei Lin. Wei Lin didn't know what to do when he saw Jiang also gently draw out his knife and moved forward a little bit towards the blue. He looked over the knife, and naturally he saw it too. The two lightened their pace and approached cautiously. Seeing that blue color was in front of them, Jiang also winked at Wei Lin. Wei Lin nodded knowingly, holding his hand tightly on the hilt of the knife. place. I saw Jiang also pointed the knife there, stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Who!"
At this time, the two of them saw that the blue was really a person, lying on the ground, with a lot of blood on his clothes. Seemingly fainting, Jiang also retracted his sword and reached out to turn the man over. The man's face was covered in blood, and he could vaguely identify it as a woman. Wei Lin smiled and said, "I thought it was an ambush, but I didn't expect to pick up a female doll."
"What kind of virtue are you?" Jiang also glanced at him with disgust. "Blood on your face, how do you know it's a woman? Are you afraid that you're going crazy because of a woman?"
"Whatever, I don't care if it's a man or a woman, you picked it up anyway."
"I haven't picked it up yet?"
The two looked at the clothes of the fainted person for a while. The blue fabric seemed to be of great value, and it should be a dignitary.
"Should we take it back?" Wei Lin asked. "This is an altar. I think the material is very valuable. If it is a royal family member, how much silver will the general give?"
"Most of this person is useless, and if he brings it back, he will be dead, isn't it a waste of effort?" Jiang Ye was obviously not interested in this kind of troublesome thing, Wei Lin didn't follow it, and began to understand it with emotion: "Don't do it. , saving someone's life is considered a merit, and if you die, you have to bury it well. Wouldn't it be a pity to die in this wild country?"
"Why, you still want to rob the dead man's clothes?"
"Isn't this dead?"
"Will you die if you don't learn my words?" Jiang also glared at Wei Lin, "I only learned today that you still have compassion."
"Whether I have it or not, you must have it, right?" Wei Lin winked at him, seeing Jiang also feel a chill.
The two were arguing for a while. The man on the ground was motionless. In the end, Jiang couldn't stand Wei Lin. He carried the man on his back. Wei Lin turned around and put the fur on the ground. Li also scolded: "How come I'm taking things."
"Either you carry it and I will take it?"
"...I admit it." It was Wei Lin who was going to take it back, but Wei Lin had no choice but to carry something.
Jiang also stretched his legs and kicked Wei Lin's knees, but he didn't exert much effort, but in that position, Wei Lin staggered. Jiang also scolded: "Who are you, Laozi?"
"Just talk and get on your legs! This is domestic violence, you know? Domestic violence!"
"I threw that person to the curb for you."
"Don't, I'm still pointing at the reward..."
"Then shut up."
"...How much reward do you think the general can give you when you go back?"
"I can reward you for burying this dead man with your own hands."
"… "
There was a fire in the general's tent, and Xue Ziqin was alone in the tent, and he didn't care that the general had the majesty of a general. When there was no one around, Xue Ziqin, who was shivering with cold, squatted beside the fire, stretched out his hands for warmth, The vice-feared look. It's winter, it's snowing, and the whole army, including Xue Ziqin, is a lot lazy. In the past two years, Xue Ziqin has fought dozens of battles, big and small. Last year, he encountered a severe drought, so that this year the west is running out of food and grass, and the rear is not as prosperous as the northern army at all.
Xue Ziqin had been afraid of the cold since he was a child, and could not wait to stay in the tent in winter.
He was warming up when suddenly there were two more figures outside the tent, which were said to be human figures, but the larger one was more like a beast. As soon as Xue Ziqin raised his eyes, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and two people ran in.
Before Xue Ziqin could stand up, he saw two people, one was still carrying a person, the other was carrying a bundle of fur on his back, and a bundle on his chest, looking really funny.
"General General!" Wei Lin was dressed in anger, and removed all the fur from his body, "General
This is the fur that I got back from the market today! "
"Who told you to come in without announcing!" Xue Ziqin shouted angrily, but he had no intention of getting up from the fire. Although Xue Ziqin didn't want to be seen by these two bastards, it was too cold.
"General's forgiveness!" The two immediately lowered their heads when they heard the scolding.
Xue Ziqin took his eyes away from the fur that Wei Lin brought, glanced at the person who was carrying Jiang Ye, opened his mouth and asked, "What kind of thing are you carrying?" Jiang Ye put the person down and knelt down with Xue Ziqin on one knee. Report: "General report, we found him on the way back. Seeing that this person was not dressed like ordinary people, we brought him back."
"I found the general..."
Xue Ziqin ignored Wei Lin and looked at the person lying on the ground. The man was covered in blood all over his face. Based on his many years of experience in fighting the battlefield, Xue Ziqin must have lost interest in his life, so he lost interest: "Drag it and bury it."
"The general is not dead yet..."
"Then find a piece of cloth to wrap it and throw it out of the camp." Xue Ziqin didn't take another look, rubbed his hands to keep warm, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the fur that Wei Lin brought back: "Leave the fur, you guys go out."
"General..." Wei Lin was still unwilling. He worked so hard to carry people back. Although he didn't carry it, the fur cost him a lot of effort, and he didn't get any reward. He even asked Jiang Yebai to contribute. Now, looking back, he will definitely be ridiculed by Jiang Ye.
"Do you want to stay in my tent?" Xue Ziqin said impatiently.
Wei Lin didn't dare to speak now, but Jiang also spoke for him: "General, Wei Lin wants to be rewarded." Wei Lin's boss stared at Jiang Ye, but Jiang Ye didn't even look at him at all. .
Only then did Xue Ziqin get up and walk in front of Wei Lin. He bent down and reached out to flip through the fur he just brought. He picked the thinnest piece, pulled it out and threw it on Wei Lin: "Take it." Wei Lin picked up the fur and held it in his arms. In his arms, he replied, "So stingy... No, no, General Xie!"
"Don't go out yet!"
"Yes." The two of them turned around and planned to go out, but the one lying on the ground snorted, "Pain..." Xue Ziqin glanced at him again, that life is petite, both male and female, Xue Ziqin thought it was troublesome, and he mentioned it again. : "Take the person away to me."
"Yes!"
The tent was quiet again, and when Xue Ziqin saw that the person had left, he immediately took two pieces of leather and wrapped himself around him, then retreated back to the fire.
"it's too cold… "
…
"I said don't worry about it, you have to worry about it. You're at ease after begging for a piece of skin?" As expected, Jiang also complained when he got out of the tent. Wei Lin's face was full of sadness: "Who knew the general would say such a thing." Still in Jiang Ye's arms, Wei Lin really didn't know what to do, so he had to ask Jiang Ye, "What should I do now?"
As the two of them spoke, the man struggled slightly in Jiang Ye's arms, his blood-stained brows and eyes wrinkled, looking very painful.
Wei Lin looked a little unbearable, and asked again: "It's really buried..."
"Carry it back to the tent." Jiang also sighed, "I picked it up."
There was no one in the tent, and most of the people were busy with other things. Jiang also put the person on the mattress Wei Lin usually slept on, and Wei Lin was anxious for a while: "This blood is stained, how can I sleep?"
"Why don't you go and get Zhong Yi to come over, I'm here." Jiang Ye said and kicked Wei Lin's calf again. Wei Lin was in pain and jumped on the spot a few times, pointing at Jiang Ye Lao He didn't say a word for a long time, but finally he put his hand down and went out in a huff.
Before half a stick of incense, Wei Lin pulled Zhong Yi in. Before Zhong Yi could understand the situation, he was dragged over by Wei Lin, and when he saw the person lying on the mattress, he was quite frightened: "That's one breath left..." Jiang also heard what Zhong Yi said. , immediately asked: "Old Chinese doctor, is there any help?" "There is help, I am here, I can save you with the remaining bones, but..." "But what?" "But why should I save it?" He Looking at Jiang also asked with a smile.
Jiang also understood the meaning of the words, and took the reward Wei Lin had just asked for and handed it to Zhong Yi: "It's winter, this leather will be given to Doctor Zhong to prevent the cold."
"That's my reward!"
"shut your mouth."
Zhong Yi took the skin unceremoniously, and the doctor's call made Zhong Yi feel at ease, and then he looked at the guy who could only breathe out and not breathe in. The winter in the frontier is really cold, and it is really good to have a piece of leather. Besides, the two people in front of them are quite familiar, so they should only pay for the piece of leather. Zhong Yi grabbed the man's hand and began to feel the pulse. I saw that he took the pulse with one hand, and touched the person in several places with the other. It was almost painful, and the person was still feeling a little bit. Zhong Yi pressed it, and his brows knitted together, which seemed to be more serious than when he was with Xue Ziqin just now. , can't even hum.
"Tsk, it's really miserable." Zhong Yi withdrew his hand, "Three broken ribs, I'm afraid I fell from a height."
"This girl was picked up from the bottom of Zhenqi Peak." Wei Lin replied, Zhong Yi was amazed: "Three ribs were broken when I fell from the top? Life is hard... Also, who told you that it was a girl? ?"
"This bastard is crazy about women." Jiang also interjected, in exchange for Wei Lin's cold look, but it didn't affect Jiang at all. He stared at Zhong Yi's movements and asked, "Can you save the life? Is it?"
"Let him lie down and don't move, I'll make a prescription, you two go grab some medicine and come back, boil it every day for him to drink, it is estimated that he will be able to walk in three months." Zhong Yi said.
"Three months... Then where should I sleep?" Wei Lin really wanted to cry but had no tears. Three months, now this man has occupied his bed, and before he could cover himself with the fur he just asked for, let Jiang also be The reward was given to Zhong Yi. But it was the person who wanted to save him by himself. Wei Lin regretted it in his heart.
"I won't say more, just give me the money." Jiang also mercilessly made Wei Lin worse.
"Why am I giving the money again?"
"Because I have no money." Jiang was also righteous.
Wei Lin didn't speak or move for a while. Jiang also added another sentence: "Either take your private money out, or you will bury someone."
"Shameless! Scum! Vicious! No compassion!"
"Then I'll show you another cruelty." Jiang also took out his saber and waved it at Wei Lin.
