Xie Yushu and his party walked quite smoothly. Occasionally they encountered a few robbers in groups of three to five or twenty or thirty people. They were all villagers nearby who had not gone out to escape. Seeing that there were many of them, they also carried machetes and axes. , they all stayed away from each other!
Xie Tianqi was not idle along the way. She and Liu Xiaodong, the fifth child of the Liu family, not only became good buddies, but also learned the tricks taught by Xie Yushu. Of course, they were all practiced with Liu Xiaodong's accompaniment!
The Liu brothers were already famous for fighting. Seeing that Xie Tianqi's moves were simple and practical, they also started to learn them. Not only did they train Xie Tianqi to perfection, but along the way, their fighting skills also improved a lot!
After seven days, the group arrived outside Tai'anfu City. The situation here was obviously better than in the north. There were many refugees who had fled outside the city, but they all took root in scattered shacks in the woods outside the city. , the straw shed almost takes up the entire forest!
When Xie Yushu and the others arrived, groups of victims were squeezing forward with pots and pans. Xie Baotian asked a random person and found out that there were people from the yamen at the gate of the city giving porridge. One meal a day. Missed it. It’s gone!
After hearing this, other people also wanted to make porridge! After all, after eating yams for so long, I was still hungry without rice. However, the people around me looked at them eagerly, looking like cannibals, and they were repulsed! Everyone looked at Liu Qiang!
When they arrived, they all recognized Liu Qiang as the team leader. After all, the Liu family has many brothers and has been gaining prestige in the countryside for a long time. In addition, this time in the mountains, the Liu brothers dared to fight and killed the most wolves. Many people have been saved by the wolf's mouth, and everyone is more or less convinced of him!
As for Xie Yushu, although everyone knows that she led the team to find the water source and discovered the yam, they do not obey her much. The reason is naturally because she is a woman. A group of big men always feel that they have to listen to a woman. It’s embarrassing to say it!
Even if Xie Yushu was kind to them, it would only make them respect her a little more! There will be no more!
Therefore, among this group of people, the only ones who really listen to her suggestions are the Xie family. Liu Qiang, on the other hand, would come to her for discussion or ask for her advice sometimes when he was unsure of his decision!
Of course Xie Yushu also saw what these people were thinking, and she had no intention of managing them!
Youdao is that unruly people come out of poor mountains and rivers, which is actually very reasonable. They are indeed hardworking and simple, but they are also really stubborn! Managing this group of people is really a thankless task, and Liu Qiang is the only one who suppresses them purely by force. Anyone who disobeys will get out, and anyone who looks for trouble will be beaten up. It's a lot easier!
anyway
Although the surrounding refugees were eyeing them, there were so many of them, but no one really dared to drive them away!
"Everyone is tired and hungry. Anyway, it's the government office that is giving out porridge, so why don't we go get a bowl too! If you don't eat, you won't get anything! Everyone, please stay close together and don't get beaten up if you get too crowded!"
"We can't let it go like this!" Xie Yushu stopped him.
"If you don't want to go, you won't go. Why are you stopping us?"
"Is that mouthful of porridge more important or what you have in exchange for money? Look at how skinny these victims are. It can be seen that even if there are porridge providers, they don't starve to death. Otherwise, why do you think they are so cruel to us? hostility?"
As soon as Xie Yushu's words came out, everyone came to their senses and felt scared for a while! Those who complained about Xie Yushu also shut up!
"Let's take turns! Half of us will go first, and we will come back after eating to take the place of others! We brothers will look at things here first!" Liu Qiang arranged
After everyone heard this, there was no other good way to do it, so they joined forces and pushed their way to the front to make porridge!
Xie Yushu did not go to make porridge first, but walked around, also wanting to find out what was going on nearby. The city gate seemed impossible to open. Is there any other way to bypass Tai'an Mansion and lead to Jinyang City? .
But after wandering around for a long time and asking several people, I couldn't find any useful information, because the refugees here have never entered the city since they arrived here, and no one from the city has come out, except for official officials who are giving out porridge!
They said that when they first arrived, they heard that Beijing had sent a disaster relief team, but there was no news later. The prefect was afraid that a large number of victims would enter the city and cause chaos, so he ordered the city gates to be closed early and only sent out rescue teams every morning. The yamen servant came out to give porridge once!
It is said that the original number of victims was two or three times more than it is now. Later, some died of illness and starvation, some were beaten to death fighting for food, and some left because they couldn't stand the environment here!
Along the way, Xie Yushu saw some people being beaten to death by government servants fighting for a piece of food. Some people fell to the ground and were trampled under their feet. Some women worked so hard to get a bowl of porridge that was snatched away in the blink of an eye. Walk!
The strong bullies the weak and the strong eats the weak, which is vividly reflected here!
Even though she was used to seeing life and death, she still felt that this world was too miserable at this moment!
Xie Yushu was still stunned when she was suddenly hit and staggered. When she turned around, she saw a man falling at her feet!
I go! Conflict?
I kicked it, but there was no movement!
You're not fainting from hunger, are you?
In line with the professional ethics of a doctor, Xie Yushu knelt down and took a look, and she really hit a big mark!
The person in front of me was wearing shabby clothes and looked about twenty years old! Tall man, with a serious face, frowning sword eyebrows, black lips, obviously poisoned, with a penetrating injury to the abdomen, a cut on the chest, a high fever and coma, and he has entered the Palace of Hell with one leg!
The patient fell under her nose. As a doctor, regardless of her conscience, forget it, the only thing in her body that can detoxify is the gallbladder of the big red viper! She also wants to sell the snake gallbladder at a high price! Wouldn't this take away her heart? And this man was so seriously injured, what if he couldn’t be saved? She is a doctor, not a fairy!
Xie Yushu didn’t want to save him anymore! She’s not practicing medicine here yet anyway!
I don’t know if the people on the ground were sensing it, but when she got up, they grabbed her clothes and refused to let go!
Xie Yushu had no choice but to drag him to the base of the city wall farther away, pulled out the corner of her clothes, and took her own small bamboo tube to get a bucket of porridge.
When he came back, he had completely passed out. Xie Yushu cut off a piece of snake gall the size of a fingernail, mashed it and mixed it into the porridge. She held his lower jaw and poured the snake gall porridge into him first!
Snake gall itself has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving heat. Whether it is the poison he is poisoned or the inflammation of the wound on the body, it has a certain effect. However, with such a large snake gall and highly toxic snake gall, she is afraid that the effect of the medicine will be too strong to kill people. It will be eaten directly to death, so I only cut the smallest amount!
After feeding the porridge, while the person was unconscious, he took out a short knife to clean the rotten flesh on the wound! By the way, the penetrating abdominal injury required five stitches on the front and back!
There is no anesthesia, and the needle is not a professional surgical suture needle. The thread is the thread used to sew clothes. Whether he can survive depends on whether his life is strong or not!
Xie Yushu muttered to herself while sewing.
"You don't hurt, you don't hurt, you don't hurt at all..."
Completely ignoring the person under his hand, the muscles around the knife edge kept hopping! After she finished cleaning up, applied another layer of medicine, took out a handkerchief and bandaged it, when she looked up, she saw the person who should have been unconscious staring at her with sweating profusely and gnashing teeth!
