Wu Weian sat on a makeshift chair and threw the candy in his hand for a while.
The children, who were stumbling around on horseback, followed the candy with their dripping eyes.
It's candy.
In today's situation, it's good to be able to eat a full stomach.
Sugar is a rare thing.
Wu Weian glanced over lightly and looked at the elder brother at the front: "Want to eat?"
The elder brother nodded honestly: "Yes."
The sister next to her also watched eagerly.
Wu Weian hooked his lips and smiled, and reached out and grabbed the candy in his palm: "This is mine."
Get up and leave.
Not to mention these little brats.
Even his daughter, he wouldn't let-
This was the first day that Ji Jiajun arrived.
The Qinghe County area was severely affected, not only Qinghe County, but also many counties upstream and downstream.
The number of people in each county ranges from 30,000 to 100,000, while Ji's army is only 60,000.
Therefore, on this trip, Ji Minghao only brought 10,000 elites to the most serious Qinghe County, and the other 50,000 were sent to other counties.
The military camps closer to Qinghe County would take about ten days even if they traveled day and night.
As for the trapped people below, some still have a place of refuge, but they will not last for ten days.
On the open space outside the mine, the rain was still falling.
Ji Minghao divided the 10,000 soldiers into 3,000 soldiers, each rescued them for 3 hours, and then changed the wave.
The remaining one thousand, then flexible scheduling.
Qian Yijia and Xu Qian, as the most brave and skilled soldiers in the Ji family's army, stood in the first column.
The rain fell on the silver-gray helmet, and then slid down, down the cheeks.
But they stood up straight, like the trees in the woods, letting the rain fall between their eyelashes, no matter how itchy they were, they were indifferent and did not move.
Ji Minghao's eyes swept over them slowly, and said solemnly: "The night is cold, and it is difficult to see things, and there are even enemies staring at them in the dark, but this is not the reason for us not to go. The soldiers are trained for thousands of days, and the soldiers are trapped below. People, it's up to you!"
The Yiwanji Family Army said calmly and forcefully:
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
With a wave of Ji Minghao's hand, the current three thousand Ji family's army ran towards the underside of the surging flood, while the other seven thousand returned to the camp that had just been set up to hurry up.
Ji Minghao incorporated himself into the army, and wanted to follow the 3,000 soldiers in the lead.
Unexpectedly, Ji Mingshuang followed: "Second brother, I am with you."
Ji Minghao stopped, looked at the seventh brother deeply, and said, "You have been busy all day, so you don't need to go."
Ji Mingshuang insisted: "But second brother, you are busy during the day, but aren't you planning to go now? The same goes for Yining and the others."
Ji Minghao smiled: "You are different from us."
Ji Mingshuang didn't understand: "What's the difference?"
Ji Minghao looked down, listening to the uniform footsteps, and said, "We are the army, but you are not."
The army is always before the people.
For them, the victims trapped below are the common people, and Ji Mingshuang, who is standing in front of him, is also the common people.
"Mingshuang." Ji Minghao said, "I ask you, what would you do if the third sister insisted on going down to help during the day?"
Ji Mingshuang frowned: "This is too dangerous!"
If Ji San really wanted to go down, he would definitely stop him desperately.
Ji Minghao stretched out his hand, patted Ji Mingshuang on the shoulder, and turned away without saying anything.
Ji Mingshuang followed two steps subconsciously, then stopped.
He got it.
I understand what brother means.
Ji Mingshuang returned to the mine.
The victims who had just been rescued during the day were left in this mine if they were injured.
Others who were not injured very much, and those who had recovered from their wounds in the mine, were moved to other farther camps.
Ji Yunxi, Baofu and the others are bandaging the new wounded with medicine.
Ji Mingyan also followed to help.
He drugged a girl whose back was scratched.
In this special case, there are no conditions to take into account the suitability between men and women.
The girl was a little embarrassed to see such a good-looking little man, but she was not willing to refuse.
But it didn't take long for the girl to push Ji Mingyan away and said, "Master, master, men and women don't have sex, I, I'll just wait for the madam and them to bandage me..."
It hurts so much!
Even if this boy looks good, it hurts too much!
Ji Mingyan touched his head, then turned his head to bandage the uncle beside him.
The uncle just saw Ji Mingyan applying medicine to the girl with his own eyes. He was so frightened that he hurriedly covered the wound and stammered: "I, I am not in a hurry!"
After being rejected one after another, Ji Mingyan bit his lip, hugged his knees, and silently squatted in the corner to reflect on himself.
Everyone doesn't let him bandage, is his medical skills really that bad
Ji Yunxi called him: "Sixth brother."
Ji Mingyan sighed and ran to Ji Yunxi's side: "Third sister, are you calling me?"
Ji Yunxi stretched out his hand: "Scissors."
Ji Mingyan immediately took the scissors and handed them to Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi cut off the white tape that bound the wound, and handed the scissors to Ji Mingyan.
Ji Mingyan put the scissors back into the bamboo basket.
But it was clear that the bamboo basket was very close to Ji Yunxi himself.
After dressing up, Ji Yunxi stood up.
Ji Mingyan carried the small bamboo basket and stood up.
The two happened to see Ji Mingshuang standing at the entrance of the mine.
Ji Yunxi glanced at the seventh brother, lowered her head and said a few words to Ji Mingyan, then went to the side to get dry clothes.
She walked to the entrance of the mine and handed over her clothes: "Seventh brother, change it."
Ji Mingshuang took it: "Okay."
Ji Yunxi raised her lips and smiled.
Ji Mingshuang followed with a smile.
it is more than words.
Ji Mingshuang understood for the first time.
Perhaps the most difficult thing in the world is not being alone.
Just as Ji Mingshuang's heart was shaking, a figure flashed in front of him.
He was slightly taken aback and looked over.
I saw that man's eyes were covered with a black cloth, but walking among the mines was like a fish swimming in water, and he could accurately avoid the children who were running and jumping.
That is Snow Bamboo.
Before a stick of incense.
Xuezhu, who was holding the broom, fell into a long silence while looking at the dirtier ground.
This mine is terribly dirty, but the bottom itself is dirt, so how can it be cleaned.
He couldn't, so he went to the poisonous lady.
The poisonous lady huddled in the corner and nibbled pumpkin seeds.
This time, she didn't spit out the skin of the melon seeds, but spit it into the bowl she ate at night.
Xuezhu stood quietly in front of the poisonous lady with a serious face: "The mine is dirty."
The round steward and the house elder were both slightly older, but the poisonous lady and Xuezhu were the same age.
The two grew up together, and the poisonous lady knew Xuezhu very well, and when she heard the words, she understood the meaning of Xuezhu.
She took it out of her arms, took out the black hood they were using when they moved, and gave Xuezhu a piece of advice: "Tear off a piece yourself and tie it over your eyes."
When Xuezhu thought about it, her eyes lit up.
What to do if it's very dirty and can't be cleaned, just cover your eyes and you can't see it!
Xuezhu rejected the poisonous lady's kindness, he felt that the poisonous lady's hood was not very clean.
His own piece is cleaner.
Xuezhu immediately went to the corner to the side, precisely tore one off, and sewed the corner with the embroidery needle and thread that he carried with him, and even embroidered a piece of bamboo.
It means that this is his Xuezhu's personal belongings.
Then he tied himself to his eyes.
This was their second night in Qinghe County, and the source of Xuezhu's irritability that had been bothering Xuezhu was finally resolved perfectly.
After Xuezhu left, Ji Mingyan ran and jumped to the side of the poisonous lady.
He crouched down in front of the poisonous lady, looked at the poisonous lady up and down, and asked, "Why do you have pumpkin seeds!"
The poisonous lady said happily: "There is a young man in the Ji family who has a mole on his mouth. He wears a waterproof cowhide bag around his waist, which is full of pumpkin seeds. I just passed by him specially and grabbed a few handfuls. ."
When the poisonous lady said this, Ji Mingyan, who was very familiar, immediately called him: "That person's name is Xu Qian."
"I don't care what he's called." The poisonous lady turned pale, covered her stomach, and let out a sigh.
Ji Mingyan: "Sister Poison, what's wrong with you! Are you poisoned? I'll show you!"
To act is to feel the pulse.
The poisonous lady kicked over: "Get out of here!"
Ji Mingyan: "You can't avoid illness and avoid doctors!"
Poisonous Lady: "My lady is coming to Guishui!"
Ji Mingyan sighed and understood.
Seeing Lady Poison's sullen expression, she didn't want to talk to him, she just wanted to eat melon seeds quietly.
Ji Mingyan went back to Ji Yunxi's side again, helping to pass this to that.
Ji Yunxi glanced at the poisonous lady in the corner and asked, "What happened to her?"
Ji Mingyan replied, "She said she came to Guishui."
Ji Yunxi glanced at her sixth brother quietly, and was speechless: "The sixth brother, don't you want to do something?"
"But I don't know how to cure Guishui." Ji Mingyan waved his hand, "It's okay, she said she'll be fine tomorrow, and her kick is really strong."
Ji Yunxi: "..."
never mind.
Brothers have their own blessings.
*
The night is deep.
Unlike last night, there are still rescued victims coming up from time to time tonight.
Therefore, there is no shortage of people in the mine.
Due to the shortage of manpower, Ji Yunxi asked Baofu and a few maids to select dozens of people from the common people, and take turns to take care of the wounded in batches like Ji's army.
After Ji Yunxi explained it, it was almost time.
She went back to the carriage and went to bed.
There was a small table in the middle of the carriage, with blankets on the left and right, just enough for each person to lie down.
From Shangjing to Liangzhou, the two of them slept like this.
The same goes for these two nights.
Wu Weian was already lying on the left side, curled up.
The blanket that was used to cover it fell to the ground as usual.
Ji Yunxi picked it up, put it back on Wu Weian, and went back to the right to lie down.
In the mine next to them, Baofu and Sister Qiuyu were busy until the middle of the night before someone else took over. They tightened their clothes and lay down in the corner.
The conditions in the mine were rudimentary, and the ground was only covered with layers of dry thatch brought by the Ji family army, and covered with quilts brought by Ji Yunxi.
It's just that there are not many futons, and almost three people share a bed.
Baofu and Qiuyu eldest sister just happened to be lying in a quilt.
I was still very sleepy at first, but now I've gotten over it, and when I really lie down, my sleepiness is not much.
Sister Qiuyu pushed Baofu with her arm: "You and your wife's maids are not the same."
Speaking of this, Baofu is no longer sleepy: "What's the difference? You scold me in a different way!"
Sister Qiuyu rolled her eyes: "Though those maids are all maids, but they are all gentle and courteous, and those who don't know will think it's another young lady. Just you, the appearance of a shrew in the countryside. !"
Baofu pursed his lips: "It's different. They all have children from the Ji family, I'm not." She thought about it and added, "Anyway, Miss is the best person in the world."
Sister Qiuyu: "What?"
Baofu closed his eyes and yawned: "I have to get up early tomorrow, I'm sleepy."
After a while, Baofu's snoring sound came, one after another.
If snoring is also a competition, then Baofu must be the well-deserved first place.
Sister Qiuyu covered her ears irritably.
unlucky!
*
At the beginning of the ugly time, the first batch of Ji's troops who were rescued by the water came back one after another.
The second batch of Ji's army uniformly took over the oars from their comrades-in-arms.
Ji Jiajun brought some torches this time.
It's just that there are not many torches, and the army uses them sparingly. Three soldiers in the army hold umbrellas and hold torches, slightly illuminating the road from the shore to the mine.
Qian Yining and Xu Qian came back in the last echelon.
Qian Yining glanced at Xu Qian, saw his brisk pace, and said with a smile, "Have you found your mother?"
Since Ji's army received the news that Qinghe County was flooded, Xu Qian lost his mind.
Xu Qian's wife was in Qinghe County.
Xu Qian nodded: "Well, I found it. It's in the cave in the mountain in front of me. I'm not injured, and I'm healthy. When I was chopping wood during the day, when I went there, she stuffed me with a cowhide bag. pumpkin seeds."
As he spoke, he pinned the bag of pumpkin seeds from his arms to his waist.
Although the cowhide bag was waterproof, before Xu Qian went into the water, he untied it and put it into his arms.
He was also reluctant to put it in the military camp, so he wanted to take it with him.
Xu Qian gestured for a while and muttered, "It seems to be less?"
Qian Yining: "What?"
Xu Qian turned his head: "Nothing."
The two quickly climbed towards the hillside.
While passing by, Qian Yining glanced and saw a flower on the side of the road.
The flower trembled and shrank in the weak torch, and half of the petals were knocked down by the wind and rain.
Qian Yining stopped subconsciously.
Seeing him stop, Xu Qian stopped, "Brother Yining, what's the matter?"
Qian Yining turned her head and smiled, under the torch, she smiled brightly: "It's nothing, I think of my elder sister."
His elder sister liked to pick flowers and put them on her head when she was a child.
The horn of the assembly above sounded, the two stopped staying, and returned to the queue in three steps.
Ji Minghao was standing there, asking everyone to count.
The 3000 Ji Family Army reported back and forth several times, but the final number reported was - 2,953.
Forty-seven people were missing.
During these six hours, the 3000 Ji Family Army rescued 10,73 victims, but only 2,953 came back.
Qinghe County has a population of almost 70,000, and now 40,000 people have been rescued.
Those who are healthy and able to walk have been arranged by the prince and the county magistrate of Qinghe County one by one to go to the nearest state and county for temporary resettlement.
Those who cannot move, recuperate in various quarters.
Below, there are about 30,000 people.
The further you go, the more difficult the rescue will be.
Those who are being rescued now can still shout with kinetic energy, but the rest may faint between the gaps in the roof and become unconscious.
Most of them have lost their life.
But even if they were dead, they had to find them one by one and salvage them.
Otherwise, the corpse will rot, causing a plague, and the consequences are even more unimaginable.
In this surging river, there are countless states and counties downstream.
Ji Minghao said solemnly: "Everyone looks around, those who didn't come, you are responsible for Yining..."
Ji Minghao paused.
"Registered."
*
Its daybreak.
This was the third day that Ji Yunxi and his party went to Qinghe County, and the second day that Ji's army arrived.
Everyone is busy.
The prince is now a big black, and he and the county magistrate are busy relocating the rescued victims.
He didn't hide his identity anymore. Fortunately, the Prince Token was still there. He personally wrote letters to the nearby states and counties, asking them to temporarily resettle these displaced victims, and to let them dispatch more food and grass supplies.
These few days, the prince has been talking so much that his throat is smoking, and he doesn't like to talk anymore.
Even Wu Weian was mechanically scooping up living people and dead bodies.
To this day, Wu Weixin still doesn't have much pity, but from the moment he stretched out his hand to the people in the water, he never stopped extending his hand.
In the morning, the wind was calm.
Everyone was on guard at all times, but they never encountered any sudden and violent assassinations.
But this made everyone more vigilant, and there was a long-lasting solemnity in the air.
At noon, everyone went to eat in batches.
Come down quickly after you finish your meal.
Taking advantage of the meal time, everyone took a break for about a cup of tea.
But it's okay to not rest, but after resting and moving again, I feel weak all over, and I can't get enough energy.
An old woman was sitting among the ruins.
Wu Weian tapped his toes on the water and flew to the old woman.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and reached out to the old woman with a calm gesture.
The mutation happened in an instant!
Around Wu Weian, six people raised their swords and rushed out of the water, pointing straight at Wu Weian in the middle.
Not only that, there were several arrows coming towards him not far away.
Wu Weian drew his sword, swung the first round of arrows, and then confronted the six people who flew over.
Even though Wu Weian was highly skilled in martial arts, he was surrounded by six skilled swordsmen, and someone with accurate archery skills hid in the dark to shoot arrows from time to time.
And Wu Weian keenly felt that the sitting old woman suddenly rushed towards him with open arms.
He frowned! It never occurred to me that even this old woman was the emperor's person.
After all, he just checked, this old woman has a weak breath and is not a martial arts person.
Wu Weian was restrained for a while, his eyes turned cold, and his true qi was about to burst out of his body.
The old woman hugged the leg of one of the six swordsmen.
The swordsman was hugged, and he reacted quickly. With a flexible wrist movement, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the old woman's hunched back.
Wu Weian quickly seized this moment and directly destroyed the sword formation composed of six people.
Seeing that there was no hope here, the man in the dark quickly dived into the water and disappeared.
Wu Weian took the lives of six swordsmen and did not go after the shooter.
The flood was surging, and there were many ordinary people everywhere.
These swordsmen are also good at hiding their shadows, so it is difficult to catch up.
He returned to the ruined wall, and with a light pick on the tip of his sword, turned the old woman over.
That sword directly pierced the old woman's chest, the man was pale, and the wound dried up without much blood.
Her eyes were still open, maintaining the look of her death.
Wu Weian glanced at it, mentioned the old woman, put it on a boat specially used for corpses, and hurried away without stopping.
The boatman on the corpse ship glanced at the old woman.
The old woman still had a faint smile on her lips.
In those turbid eyes, there is no sadness, no fear, only peace.
It is people who are old and face the peace of life and death.
Death is always to come.
This old woman looks to be in her 80s or 90s, and she has a long life. She is probably ready to face death.
She had deep eye lines on the corners of her eyes, and she probably loved to laugh during her lifetime.
Even the face before death is so kind.
The boatman put down his oars, walked over, bent down, stretched out his hand, and closed the old woman's eyes gently—
Just when Wu Weian was facing the siege of six people, Ji Mingyan ushered in the siege of ten people.
The people in the dark have also seen that Ji Mingyan is the weakest of them all through the observation of the past few days.
After all, he is good at poison, and in the flood, he can't use poison.
Wu Weian, Ji Minghao, Ji Mingshuang, Yuan Guanshi, Xuezhu, Wanxiang and others were all restrained by the swordsman who broke out of the water.
Ji Mingyan looked at the ten swordsmen, his eyes widened, and he was flattered: "Do you think so highly of me?"
Saying so, Ji Mingyan didn't mean to fight with these ten swordsmen at all, and when he saw something wrong, he immediately ran to the shore.
The ten swordsmen were not bad at light work, and they followed steadily. Five of them even surpassed Ji Mingyan, and wanted to join the first five to surround Ji Mingyan.
Ji Mingyan took his hand out of his arms and sprinkled it on the five people: "You forced me to use poison!"
The swordsman knew Ji Mingyan very well, and when he saw this, he did a backflip in the air and avoided it.
But Ji Mingyan didn't scatter anything, and immediately continued to run towards the shore.
As long as he gets out of the flood and gets to the shore, he can use poison!
When the time comes, don't say ten people, come a few, he poisons a few!
The ten swordsmen realized that they had been deceived and quickly regrouped to catch up.
Ji Mingyan was still a little far from the shore, and was caught up again.
He threw some air into the air again, but this time, no one was fooled.
Ji Mingyan sighed, and immediately opened his mouth and shouted, "Help!! Brother-in-law, Xuezhu, help!! Brother Six can't hold it anymore!!"
These two are the strongest in martial arts and the fastest in lightness.
If the two of them can't make it in time, then he will really die here today, woo woo woo.
He forgot to tell his younger brother and sister, if he died, remember to bury his bones under the poisonous weeds and poisonous flowers in his backyard.
He doesn't want to be buried in Liangzhou, this is not his home!
There are no flowers and plants that he raised with his own hands, no poisonous centipedes that he dug in the ground to loosen the soil before his grave, and there is no elder brother who loves to drink tea.
The other Wu Weian just dropped the old woman's body, when he heard the words, he ran quickly.
When Xuezhu heard that, he didn't even have time to wipe his big iron sword, so he followed.
But Ji Mingyan ran to the shore first, a long distance away from everyone.
As fast as Wu Weian, he couldn't arrive in no time.
Vessels carrying the victims went back and forth.
Ordinary soldiers are good at catching fast, good at fighting, good at archery, good at swordsmanship, and so on, but they are not good at light power.
Qinggong needs to be learned from childhood when the body is light, and it takes years to polish it before it can be mastered, and everyone is halfway into the army to practice.
For a while, everyone was pulling the side of the boat, and they could only look at the ocean in mid-air and sigh.
Some even couldn't help but dive into the water and swim towards that place.
But they could only float on the water, looking up with their heads up and shouting to Ji Mingyan, "Master Liu, you go into the water!"
Ji Mingyan looked down and didn't do that.
These soldiers are not the opponents of these swordsmen at all.
After he went into the water, he might be able to hold on for a few hours, but that was at the expense of the soldier's life.
Ji Mingyan clenched the sword in his hand with a serious face, and confronted the ten swordsmen.
Between the sword and the sword, there were a few more wounds on his body.
The blood dripped down, staining the water surface red.
Qian Yining soaked in the water and jumped up like a carp.
But they couldn't jump to the height where Ji Mingyan and the others were.
Qian Yining is not bad-looking, and has always paid attention to image in the army.
He had never been so funny and embarrassed.
After a few moves, Ji Mingyan couldn't hold it anymore.
Next to Qian Yining was Xu Qian.
When he arrived yesterday, he first went to chop down trees to make boats, and also met his mother.
Saving people at night did not meet the swordsman.
Xu Qian just saw the swordsman take action with his own eyes.
The moment he saw it, Xu Qian became extremely silent.
He bit his lip, looked at Ji Mingyan above, and turned his head to look.
There were two people flying in front of the crowd one after the other, rushing towards this.
It was almost approaching this world, but Ji Mingyan couldn't hold it any longer.
The sword in his hand loosened and smashed into the surging flood.
A swordsman held his sword and was about to stab the falling Ji Mingyan in the chest.
Xu Qian quietly held the knife in his hand, without hesitation, he broke through the water, slashed the swordsman's sword, and pushed Ji Mingyan in the direction of Wu Weian.
Xu Qian's sword was the authentic Beishan swordsmanship.
The ten swordsmen were all stunned.
