Chapter 259 War
Qi Xu was fed two bowls of medicine and fell into a deep sleep in the tent.
Zhou Shouan and a group of brothers in the kitchen were busy, boiling water and cooking porridge, and they were very busy.
These wounded soldiers were leaning in groups of three or four inside and outside the tents, all of them were seriously injured.
The sound of painful groans constantly filled my eardrums. Some people remained silent, some cried loudly, and some fell down without any warning. This was the cruelty of war.
Zhou Shouan was busy with his job mechanically. Although he felt distressed, this was not the moment to be sad and cry.
He brought hot water and gave each of them a bowl to drink from, so that at least they could warm themselves up first.
No one knew how long the war lasted, but Zhou Shouan only remembered that they were so busy that they had no one left to boil water.
Everyone went to the battlefield to look for survivors, and then carried the wounded back to the city to be treated by military doctors.
We were busy until dark, and the war finally ended.
Fortunately, the result was good. The city was not broken. I heard that an army even chased after the foreign deserters and killed them all.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news.
When Zhou Shouan and Shen Yang sent the person to the military doctor's tent, they met someone who came to look for him.
"You are Zhou Shouan, right? Is there anything to eat in the kitchen? Go get some."
"Oh ok, we'll go now."
The war lasted for two days and one night, except for the first day when everyone had some hot food to eat.
The next day was extremely busy and only a few people were keeping the kitchen running.
After changing their bloodstained clothes, a group of people were busy cooking porridge.
When he brought the porridge and pickles to the tent of the General of the Central Army, he saw that the young master was there too.
But now he looked pale and lay obediently on the bed.
"This..." As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt something was wrong and closed his mouth tightly again.
"Qi Xu, get up and eat something."
Qi Rui picked up the bowl and ate it up in one gulp, not caring how hot the porridge was.
Zhou Shouan was very tactful and filled his glass again.
This was originally the job of a personal guard, but now that it had been snatched away by him, both of them felt a little embarrassed.
Qi Xu lay in bed and didn't want to get up. He was still angry.
When he woke up, the war was over. His three brothers were all fighting on the battlefield, and he was the only one hiding in the back like a turtle. The thought of it made him angry.
After drinking two bowls of porridge, Qi Rui fell asleep without paying any attention to Qi Xu beside him.
Zhou Shouan collected the dishes and went downstairs. When he came back, there was a bowl of kudzu root powder wine on the board.
"Young Master, this is Pueraria root powder wine. Eat some. This will help your wound heal faster."
Qi Xu saw Qi Rui sleeping soundly beside him and wanted to eat this thing again. It was sweet and sticky and really delicious.
So he picked up the spoon and ate a bowl, but after finishing it, he felt unmanly.
Just now I thought he would never eat a single bite even if you kill him, but now he has eaten a whole bowl.
He suddenly became angry with himself again.
Not wanting to stay in this tent anymore, Qi Xu asked Zhou Shouan to help him go to the central tent.
"Dad, how are you?"
As soon as Qi Xu came in, he saw the military doctor pulling out the arrow from his head.
"It's okay. How did you get here? Just lie down if you're injured."
With a "pop" sound, the arrow was pulled out, along with a string of blood beads.
Zhou Shouan felt pain in his shoulder as he watched, but General Qi didn't even frown.
"I've been lying down for the whole day and I don't want to lie down anymore." Qi Xu sat aside and watched the military doctor bandage him.
"Yeah, it's good to go for a walk. Be careful of your wounds opening. Your eldest brother hasn't come back yet, so go and keep watch for a while. If there's any news, have someone come and inform me."
General Qi hadn't slept for two days and one night. After his wound was treated, his head began to feel dizzy and he wanted to catch up on his sleep.
"Young Master, let's leave now. Don't disturb the general's rest. He just took some medicine, so it's just right for him to get some sleep."
"Military doctor, what medicine did you give us? I was in the same situation at that time, and I fell asleep not long after."
"It's a painkiller. It was given to me by the General. It's quite effective. It takes effect within an hour after taking it. It has a very significant pain-relieving effect. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully."
Seeing that Qi Xu was limping, the military doctor took out another pill and asked him to take it so that he would not feel so uncomfortable.
Qi Xu looked at the pill, tilted his head back and swallowed it without even drinking a sip of water.
He wanted to try and see if it was as miraculous as the military doctor said.
Not long after, Qi Jian came back with his men.
Covered in snow and blood.
He dismounted his horse, walked up to Qi Xu and patted him on the shoulder.
"Good boy, it's great that you can come back safely. Is your brother back?"
There was a wound between Qi Xu's eyebrows. The blood had already scabbed over, but it still looked a little scary. It almost hurt his eyes.
"Not yet. My father just asked me to come out and take a look. Go and take care of the wound first. My father just fell asleep."
"Okay, the rest is up to you. I'm going to take a nap."
Qi Jian captured a small team and has now been rounded up.
As long as the eldest brother can return safely, this war will not be a loss.
At the very least, these arrogant foreigners can be prevented from making a comeback for a month.
But whatever you fear will come to you.
Qi Yan never came back, including the soldiers in his army.
There wasn't even anyone to tip off.
After General Qi woke up, he gathered people from all sides to discuss the next countermeasures.
Scouts were sent out in team after team, but unfortunately none of them brought back any useful information.
Qi Yan led the vanguard camp and drove the foreigners back out of the canyon, telling them to get as far away as possible.
He is no longer at the age of being an impulsive boy, so he will not fall into the enemy's trap.
But the weather was too bad.
They encountered an avalanche on their way back!
It was still night when they left, but it was already daytime when they woke up.
He was dug out by the guards.
Eight out of ten members of the entire team survived, but almost all of the war horses were lost.
They could only walk back, eating horse meat to fill their stomachs and drinking snow water when they were thirsty.
The road was covered with white snow and they almost took the wrong road several times.
Unfortunately, they ran too far, and it would take at least two days and two nights to walk there.
What’s even more terrifying is the bone-chilling cold.
Many soldiers collapsed due to hypothermia.
"Set up camp where you are!"
Qi Yan looked at the road ahead and sighed helplessly. He had to find a way to keep the soldiers warm.
Qi Yan scooped up a handful of snow and rubbed it on his hands.
"How much horse meat is left?"
"General, this may only be enough for tonight's meal."
"Well, give the order. Let's eat. Let's get through the night."
"Yes."
The temperature at night is much colder than during the day. Even if everyone stays in a tent with a fire, there is still a chance that something unexpected will happen.
