Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 208 Recovery

"Young Master, we have killed the rest of them. What do we do now?"

Song Chunlin smiled: "What? Waiting for something to happen."

"???" The sturdy man had a face full of question marks, while the cleverer ones nearby had already understood what the young master meant. If one comes, kill one; if two come, kill a pair; then close the door and beat the dog!

Song Chunlin stepped on the barbarian's head, put his hands on his hips, and said arrogantly: "It's so tiring for us to fight guerrilla warfare, let these people come to our door, send a few people who can speak Turkic to guard the door, and let seven or eight of them in at a time, no more, let's cut the Gordian knot and make a quick decision."

A group of soldiers have been enslaved by the barbarians for so long, and they have been holding back their anger. Now they have occupied the government office, such an excellent stronghold. How can they vent their hatred if they don't make good use of it!

So the barbarians who were sent out searched the city for a long time but found nothing. When they returned to the government office to report, they were ruthlessly killed by Song Chunlin and others.

Now the top barbarians are all dead, and the team without a leader is like a pile of loose sand. Not to mention Song Chunlin, even General Dou ambushed several small teams near the warehouse and reaped rich rewards.

Gu Fengyue was rushing on the road frantically, completely unaware that the barbarians in Yuexi City were already in chaos. When they arrived at the city gate, traveling day and night, those barbarians wanted to go back and report to the people in the government office, but several people they sent out never returned. The person guarding the city gate was only a captain of a thousand men, so he had no choice but to go ahead with the enemy at the gate.

The Gu family army on Gu Fengyue's side was well-trained. After several rounds, both sides suffered injuries, but overall, the Gu family army had the upper hand.

Just when Gu Fengyue was thinking about how to break down the city gate, the gate slowly opened at this moment. Gu's army did not move, fearing that the other party had a backup plan or something. Gu Fengyue stared at the gate with a frown.

After the city gate was fully opened, a bright light suddenly appeared inside. Gu Fengyue recognized it at a glance. It was Song Chunlin's high-intensity flashlight!

"Brothers, we are one family! Follow us, let's charge into the city and take back Yuexi!"

"Go in and take back Yuexi!"

Amid the deafening shouts and cries of killing, the morale of the Gu family army soared. They rode their horses and rushed into the city gate in one go, while the barbarians on the city wall were still in a daze.

No, who opened the door for you?

Unfortunately, he would never know the answer, because the Gu family army had already rushed up, and the captain never understood until his death who opened the city gate for Gu Fengyue.

The Gu family army broke into the city with great force. Song Chunlin climbed up the corner tower, occupied the high ground, and shot arrows at the Turks below. That night, he alone shot and killed almost a thousand Turkic soldiers. By the end, his hands began to go numb.

Gu Fengyue took his men to the government office immediately. When the garrison troops in the government office saw the flag of Gu's army, they opened the gates and welcomed Gu Fengyue and his men.

"Where is that young master?" Gu Fengyue didn't even get off the horse, his eyes constantly searching for Song Chunlin's figure in the crowd.

One of the soldiers told Gu Fengyue that Song Chunlin went to the city gate.

"The young master said he had something to do over there, so he asked us to guard this place."

Gu Fengyue nodded. He asked the others to guard the government office, and he took another team of people and headed towards other places in the city again.

Looking at Gu Fengyue's leaving back, the people behind him were also excited. They had not been on the battlefield to kill the enemy for a long time, and the ambush just now was just an appetizer.

"Young ones, come out if you want to follow us to kill the barbarians. We will split into two teams and take turns to go out and kill the barbarians."

The soldiers responded immediately and soon split into two teams, one staying behind and the other going into the battlefield.

After a whole night of fighting, the Turks had been unable to organize a decent counterattack because they had no leader. In addition, many of them had been killed by Song Chunlin and others in a guerrilla manner, resulting in their team lacking the morale of the Gu family army and the garrison army. This thing is like a person's spirit, without people, the team will collapse. As a result, under the constant pursuit and blockade of the Gu family army, the Turkish soldiers suffered heavy casualties. When it was almost dawn, they were killed to pieces by Gu Fengyue and his men.

Most of the remaining Turks took advantage of the chaos to escape Yuexi, but Gu Fengyue didn't care. After a night of bloody fighting, he looked like a devil crawling out of hell, with blood splattered all over his body. If you look closely, you can even see a little human tissue.

"General Gu!" General Dou limped over. After a night, there was no sign of fatigue on his face. Instead, he was flushed with excitement.

Gu Fengyue saluted him, and General Dou moved aside somewhat embarrassedly.

"General Gu, there's no need to be so polite. We are still under sentence of imprisonment. If you have anything to say, please go in first."

Gu Fengyue nodded and followed him into the government office.

At the same time, Song Chunlin, who was sweating and exhausted after killing the barbarians, finally came down from the corner tower. The soldiers next to him respectfully took the bow and arrow from his hand and continued to shoot the remaining barbarians in the corner on his behalf.

Song Chunlin patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, I'm rooting for you!"

The encouraged soldiers immediately held their heads high and were fully motivated, even though they did not understand what cheering meant.

Song Chunlin was met with admiring looks from them along the way. Just ask them, who could shoot and kill thousands of enemies in one night in the dark? They couldn't kill them with one shot like Song Chunlin did, and every arrow he shot hit the vital points, so there was basically no chance of survival for the enemies.

Not to mention the peculiarly shaped bow in his hand, even his accuracy was so powerful that it could be called a monstrous thing. How could it not make people afraid?

The man who was privately called a monster by the soldiers drank the spiritual spring water to replenish his strength, and then slowly walked towards the government office.

As soon as he entered the hall, he heard General Dou worrying about the food and drink problems of the soldiers in the city. Song Chunlin paused, as if he just remembered that he had not returned the food yet.

When Gu Fengyue heard that the granary had been emptied, a strange expression appeared on his face. He knew without a doubt that Song Chunlin must have taken the grain and forgot to return it.

He caught a glimpse of a grey figure out of the corner of his eye, and his body turned faster than his heart. Then he saw the cute, snow-white boy smiling at him guiltily.

Gu Fengyue had a blank expression at first, but soon, Song Chunlin saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised. It was just a small arc, but it made people feel that his mood had improved.

"Chunlin, come here."

"Oh." Song Chunlin walked over reluctantly, and just as he reached Gu Fengyue's side, he was held by the hand. Gu Fengyue pinched the little hand in his palm. Hmm, it was still so soft and didn't look like he suffered much.

Song Chunlin and Gu Fengyue often put their arms around each other in private, and as former new humans of the 21st century, this level of holding hands was quite normal.

But in the eyes of several people nearby, it was very unusual. Even General Dou could smell the unusual atmosphere between the two at a glance.

He looked at Gu Fengyue on the left, then at Song Chunlin, then he hissed and thought to himself: beast!

Gu Fengyue was completely unaware that his reputation had been damaged and he was still holding Song Chunlin's hand as if no one was around. Song Chunlin did not break free but just felt strange. He leaned down and whispered to Gu Fengyue how much grain he had taken and asked Gu Fengyue to find a way to get him to the granary.

Gu Fengyue naturally agreed. He raised his hand to stop General Dou and said, "General Dou, please take all the people in the granary away and have them go to the city gate to provide support. Chunlin said the barbarians over there are fighting fiercely."

General Dou was suspicious: "Oh, so that's the case, is it true?" The latter sentence was asked to Song Chunlin.

Song Chunlin nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, they want to break out and escape."

"What? They still want to escape! Bah! They killed so many of our brothers and harmed so many people, and they still want to escape? No way!"

The speaker was a fierce general beside General Dou. He had also been injured before, but he got much better with the nourishment of the spiritual spring water. At this moment, he heard that the Turks wanted to escape, and he was furious because of the humiliation of being enslaved for many days.

So this man took the rest of the people, raised his arms and shouted, and went to the city gate to fight those barbarians.

Seeing him rushing to go out, Song Chunlin reminded him, "Call the brothers over at the granary! We can't do it with fewer people!"

The man was also very honest. He immediately patted his chest and assured Song Chunlin: "Don't worry, I will never let a barbarian escape from Yuexi!"

Watching these people leave angrily, Song Chunlin smiled and pulled Gu Fengyue: "Hey, let's go."

Gu Fengyue hurriedly said goodbye to General Dou, and then took Song Chunlin, who was in a hurry, all the way to the granary. As expected, everyone inside had gone out. After all, it was so clean that even rats wouldn't come in, so there was no point guarding it.

This also made it easier for him to act. With a wave of his hand, Song Chunlin appeared out of thin air and a large amount of grain filled the empty granary, even twice as much as before.

Gu Fengyue watched Song Chunlin's performance with a smile: "Are you clearing out your inventory again?"

Song Chunlin was embarrassed: "Hehe, there are too many plants in there and we can't eat them all, so we might as well take them all out."

Gu Fengyue laughed. The food problem was solved. The two of them worked together to close the door of the granary, and then returned to the government office leisurely.

Along the way, Song Chunlin chattered to Gu Fengyue about what he had done in the past few days, saying that he killed the king of Tatar and tricked that group of nobles before leaving.

Gu Fengyue kept holding his hand and was a little frightened by what he said.

"You actually went to someone else's palace?"

"Yeah, that's amazing, isn't it?"

Gu Fengyue glared at him for the rare time, but the kid was still laughing foolishly, so she said unhappily, "You also know it's dangerous in there, will you dare to do it again next time?"

"Dare!" Song Chunlin said in a decisive tone, and Gu Fengyue was so angry that he laughed, and poked Song Chunlin's forehead viciously.

Song Chunlin was not convinced: "Who else in the world can have my ability? I can come back intact, can others do that?"

Others naturally can't do that. This is also what makes Gu Fengyue feel frustrated. What should he do if this kid is too powerful? What if he wants to go to a more dangerous place in the future?

Song Chunlin didn't care: "It's enough for you to know that I'm powerful. By the way, did you bring all the Gu family soldiers this time?"

Speaking of business, Gu Fengyue nodded and said, "Yes, with General Qi in charge of Baita City now, there isn't much need for Gu's army, so I just brought them all out."

Song Chunlin heard the hidden meaning in his words: "General Qi is really narrow-minded. It's better this way. You Gu's army will defend Yuexi, the base camp, and recapture Wanshan in a few days. This will make the Grand Marshal and General Qi angry to death, hehe."

Gu Fengyue was amused by his childish words: "Then I will record your great merit and ask the emperor to grant you a title, how about that?"

Song Chunlin's eyes lit up: "Really? Can he be a marquis or a duke?"

Gu Fengyue: "You have a nice idea, but just because you assassinated the king of the enemy country, the Duke can do it, and the emperor can also give you another thousand acres of good land."

Song Chunlin grinned foolishly, fantasizing about owning thousands of acres of fertile land in the future, planting the rice and wheat he brought from the modern times, and becoming a wealthy landlord. The thought of it made him happy.

The two of them returned to the government office while chatting and laughing. There were only a few people left guarding it. General Dou was unable to move around easily, so he stayed here to command the troops. Of course, his command was not needed now, as the Turks hiding in the city had almost all been killed by Gu's army.

Seeing the two people coming back hand in hand, General Dou raised his eyebrows. He wanted to ask them where they had been and what they had done, but he felt that he had no right to ask, so he gave up and just exchanged a few simple greetings.

It was almost noon when Gu Fengyue told General Dou that he had solved the food problem. Although General Dou was puzzled as to how they had solved it, he also knew that he should not ask questions.

"In that case, thank you very much, General Gu."

Gu Fengyue turned around and asked someone to call back Gu Jiajun. These people didn't know that the granary was empty before, so they happily went to the granary to get food to cook.

Seeing that the battle outside was coming to an end and only some finishing work was left, Song Chunlin did not eat the communal meal. Instead, he and Gu Fengyue cooked their own self-heating rice as a small celebration.

It was the first time that Gu Fengyue saw that rice could heat itself and he was very surprised. He kept asking Song Chunlin about the heating principle. Song Chunlin simply took out a new self-heating rice pack for him, pointed to the heating pack inside and told him that it was filled with lime, which would release heat when it came into contact with water, and the rice could be steamed using this heat.

Gu Fengyue exclaimed in amazement: "The people in your world are so smart that they can come up with such a magical thing."

Song Chunlin was somewhat saddened when he heard this: "Being too smart is not a good thing. Haven't you heard that being too smart can be a mistake? If humans weren't too smart and thought they were the kings of all things, they wouldn't have ruined the world like that in the end."

Thinking of the final outcome of that world, Gu Fengyue fell silent. He thought that it was good that they were a little backward here, at least there wouldn't be those man-eating monsters. Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
