Chapter 15: Treating Wind and Cold
Finally it’s here.
Grandpa Qin and the others were excited and nervous, and immediately got busy.
Early the next morning.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
The soldiers beat the gongs and shouted: "Gather, the victims who are going to Northeast Prefecture must quickly gather under the banner of the army. The time limit is three-quarters of an hour. Anyone who exceeds the time will be dealt with by military law!"
Qin Laoliu was so frightened that he hurriedly urged: " Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother, there is a call for assembly outside, hurry up, or you will be beaten.”
Grandpa Qin: "Don't rush, don't rush. Three quarters of an hour, if you have time... calm down, count your things first, hide the household registration and wooden signs close to your body, don't lose them, otherwise you will become a refugee. . ”
After everyone has checked everything, we go to gather together.
……
In the center of the camp, under the banner of the high army, a wooden platform was built, with military commanders wearing heavy armor sitting on the platform.
Under the high platform, there is an endless sea of victims.
A group of soldiers, surrounded by several scribes, came to the victims and counted the number of people. After counting fifty households, they planted flags to mark the victims. Immediately, a small flag leader led ten soldiers to stand at the victims. beside.
Song Xiaoqi glanced at the victims, pointed at the flag and said: "This is the black three-character flag. From now on, you are the people of the black three-character flag. Follow the flag when you are on your way, and follow it when you stop. If you have any trouble, report it to the soldiers, and we will escort you all the way to Northeastern Prefecture!"
After shouting, he started to compare the wooden signs, the number of people, and distribute supplies. It took until noon to set off.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
"Let's set off. Follow the flag of your team. Don't run around. Anyone who causes chaos by running around will be killed!"
The victims followed the flag and ran away from Taizhou Mansion like a flood. , heading to Northeastern State in a mighty way.
......
Although they were escorted by the Northwest Army, the journey eastward was extremely difficult. The victims had to find food by themselves. In addition, the weather was getting colder. By the end of winter, there would be no Many victims died of cold, hunger and disease.
By the first ten days of the twelfth lunar month, there were so many victims who had died of illness in the team running eastward that Fan Qianhu, the leader, had to order: "Starting today, we will stay in Tao County to rest and set off again another day!"
Military Order Suddenly, the victims were happy Weeping: "I can finally rest for a few days."
But the weather was too cold. Even though the Northwest Army's tent was very thick and there was a fire in the tent for warmth, after one night, the number of people who got cold was still Doubled.
Three or four-year-old children such as Jiang Xiaozhu, Xu Fubao, and Qin Maimai all fell ill.
Grandma Qin was so anxious that she asked Grandpa Qin to find Song Xiaoqi: "Old man, I must ask Song Xiaoqi to take you to a military doctor to look at the babies. They are too young. If they don't receive medical treatment and take medicine, I'm afraid they will die. …”
Before he finished speaking, his body fell back.
"Grandma!" Qin Xiaomi hurriedly caught Grandma Qin and held it hot. This was: "Grandpa, grandma is also infected with the cold and has a high fever."
Grandpa Qin hurried over. , after probing Grandma Qin's forehead, she immediately panicked and said: "Xiaomi, take care of your grandma, grandpa goes to find Song Xiaoqi."
Qin Dashi, Qin Dayan, and Qin Cunquan also followed to help.
Qin Xiaomi asked Jiang Dalang: "Do you have any more ginger cubes? Give me some quickly."
Su Su finally took the initiative to speak to him. Sheng Ting was very excited and hurriedly acted like Jiang Dalang: "Yes."
He hurriedly gave her the ginger piece.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Lizi, come here and help." Qin Xiaomi bit some of the head of the ginger cube and wiped the acupuncture points on Grandma Qin's body with ginger. After a quarter of an hour of work, Grandma Qin's high fever subsided a lot. .
But Qin Xiaomai and the others couldn't stop coughing. The three or four-year-old child coughed until his neck turned red and it was difficult to breathe. Qin Xiaomi said: "You lie down face down, and I will pull out the cold air from your lungs, so that you won't have such uncomfortable coughing."
Jiang Dalang didn't want her to work too hard, so he said, "Xiaomi, how do you get rid of the cold? You teach me and I'll help you."
"Okay." Qin Xiaomi told him the method.
The method of scraping away the cold air is very simple. Jiang Dalang got started quickly. Together with Aunt Qin, the three of them spent a quarter of an hour scraping away a lot of cold air from the three children.
"It's warm on my body, Sister Xiaomi, I'm fine." Qin Xiaomai said, raising a smile to reassure Qin Xiaomi.
But Qin Xiaomi said: "Your wind and cold are too severe. Just scraping the cold is not enough. When grandpa comes back with the medicine, you have to take medicine to get well. Don't be afraid of hardship."
But Grandpa Qin and the others went out for a long time. Not only did they not bring back the medicine, Grandpa Qin even fainted.
When Qin Dashi and the others carried Grandpa Qin back, several women were frightened and cried.
"Grandpa!" Qin Xiaomi rushed forward, and the fear of the tragic death of her relatives in her previous life came to her heart again, making her whole body tremble uncontrollably.
Jiang Dalang guessed what she was thinking at this time, and his heart was filled with dull pain and guilt, so he hurriedly went up to support her.
Qin Cunquan said hurriedly: "Girl Xiaomi, don't worry. Some medical soldiers have looked at it and said that it was due to fatigue and fainting. It will be fine after a sleep... It's just that we didn't get the medicine."
< br>
Qin Xiaomi felt Grandpa Qin's pulse and confirmed that he had really fainted from fatigue. He felt relieved and called Jiang Dalang: "Let's go to the military doctor's tent to ask for medicine."
Grandma and Xiaomai must take medicine to cure their illnesses. good.
"Okay." Jiang Dalang called the Xu brothers and Qin Laoliu's two sons and left the tent.
"Stop!" Several victims in the tent next door stopped them. The leader of the village, Chief Lao, said: "Are you going to the military doctor's tent to ask for medicine? You are not allowed to go. At this time, you still dare to cause trouble. What if we offend Master Qianhu and punish us with the black three-character flag? "
Qin Xiaomi suppressed his anger and looked at Village Chief Lao: "The rules of the east-running team are that whoever makes a mistake will be killed. If I am killed, it will only be a family member. I go to ask for medicine to treat my illness, even if I am beheaded. It’s my family’s business too, it’s none of your business, just get out of here!”
The Wei Dynasty needed population, so even if the northwest army had sufficient martial virtue, it would not kill a large area at once.
"Two steeds and three steeds, protect Xiaomi." Jiang Dalang rushed forward, grabbed Village Chief Lao's arm and pulled hard, click, dislocated his arm, and then kicked him He fell down in the snow, pointing the wooden stick at the people of Laojia Village. The light was like a blood-drinking blade, and he said in a cold voice: "Go back to your tent, if you dare to stop us, you will be the next to have your hands and feet broken off!" Unable to bear it, he was so frightened that he abandoned the village chief and ran back to the tent.
Village Chief Lao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. After Qin Xiaomi and the others left, he got up and called to the people of Laojia Village: "Let's go find Song Xiaoqi. I will sue their whole family and be beheaded!"
Village Chief Lao is having a seizure. Qin Xiaomi and the others have rushed outside the military doctor's tent, but the place is already full of victims who are kneeling here to beg for medicine.
When the soldiers guarding the tent saw Qin Xiaomi and the others, they flashed their knives and said, "Fan Qianhu has an order to kill those who cause trouble. Those who ask for medicine should wait nearby. When there is medicine, it will be given to you."
Qin Xiaomi said: "Master Jun, we are not here to ask for medicine, but to deliver medicinal materials."
What?
The soldiers laughed hard: "Are you crazy or are we crazy? There are no medicinal materials to treat wind and cold in Tao County. You are a little girl, where did you get the medicinal materials?"
Qin Xiaomi is no longer I ignored them and shouted directly to the military doctor's tent: "Military doctor, I can find alternative medicinal materials to treat wind and cold, but the effect will be less effective, but it can still cure the disease, it depends on whether you dare to try it!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers stopped laughing.
Soon, a medical soldier came out of the military medical tent and said to Qin Xiaomi: "Fan Qianhu and Medical Doctor Shen let you in."
Qin Xiaomi and the others entered the military medical tent.
The bearded Fan Qianhu looked at Qin Xiaomi, frowned and said: "You were the one who was shouting just now, little one. Do you really know how to use Xunping substitute medicinal materials to treat wind and cold? I'm warning you, don't lie. Lie, or beheaded on the spot!”
