Surrounded by flames and scorched earth for a long night, the cry for help never stopped.
In the darkness, countless people brought buckets and then walked to the red-hot fireballs to put them out; the injured were carried one by one to the few remaining tents for rescue, even though their injured parts were Each is different, but the pain is all connected.
This situation was relieved near dawn, and almost everyone spent an extremely painful night.
Looking at the dilapidated scene in front of them, who would have thought that just the night before, people were still singing and dancing in the camp, as joyful as celebrating a festival.
Zhao Kuo and Bai Feng jointly commanded and assisted the herdsmen to clean up the mess. When the water source is insufficient, one of them will lead the people back to the Goddess River to fetch water; when the manpower is insufficient, they will work with other herdsmen to carry the injured, deliver urgently needed medicines, extinguish the remaining fires, etc.
All in all, except for healthy people who had some knowledge of medicine and could stay in the camp to help others treat their wounds, no one could stop.
Of course, this does not mean that those who stay in the camp will be any less relaxed. When Bai Feng transported the last batch of water back to the hospital camp, he found that Murong Yan sat down directly in the open space adjacent to a hospital bed and fell asleep.
Zhao Xiaomei, who was still quite energetic, walked around with a medical book in her hands. According to the content in the book, she had roughly mastered several first aid methods, and could at least assist others in their treatment operations.
She was quite handy at first, but it wasn't until she saw Bai Feng come back that she discovered that Murong Yan had been unconscious on the ground for a long time.
At this time, traces of blood could be seen on Murong Yan's upper body to her chin. It seemed that the water source was insufficient, and she had no time to clean it up, so she simply wiped it casually and went back to rescue the injured.
However, she never expected that her body would not follow its will at this moment, and she fell into a short sleep when she slacked off a little.
Fortunately, the person in front of her was only slightly injured, and after the herdsman discovered that the girl who had spent all his time to treat herself and her tribe had collapsed from exhaustion, he quickly gave up the insufficient straw couch to Murong Yan, and He said with a little shame: "We can't protect ourselves, but now we have to wrong a little girl we have never met..."
After talking for a while, Bai Feng kindly asked him not to say anything, and then carried Murong Yan to the straw couch. But before the Xianbei witch could sleep peacefully for a moment, she was suddenly awakened.
With her eyes wide open in fear, she gasped and said with a trembling voice: "He... is he dead? Where is he...?"
The herdsman brother responded: "I'm here, I'm fine, little girl! Look..." After that, he moved his injured hand and smiled.
"I actually fell asleep..." Murong Yan replied timidly.
"Sister Murong, just go to sleep! Everyone's wounds have been bandaged. The medical book you gave me is really useful!" Zhao Xiaomei said while holding the book: "This is what Dr. Han from Yangcheng left for you, right? , he is so kind to you."
"Then... where are the others? Where is the brother whose arm was cut off? I also wanted to use the method of burning with fire to stop his bleeding, but who could have expected... that he actually died on the way here! Murong Yan waved her hand and wiped the blood on her cheeks and between her clothes, as if she could still feel the breath of the deceased, and couldn't help but shed tears: "He obviously had a beautiful dream, and he was still talking about his wife and daughter, and wanted to live a happy life." Peaceful days..."
Seeing her current frail appearance, Bai Feng could hardly imagine how many dead bodies she had touched and the blood that others had sprayed on her body. She once said that as long as she concentrates, she can sense what others want in their hearts and see their future.
Who can imagine how many people she has seen have their dreams ruthlessly crushed into dust, dying meaninglessly like wasted air. For that matter, death is absolutely tragic no matter which angle you look at it.
"Yan'er, go to sleep." Bai Feng seemed to be holding back a sense of resentment and said a word of comfort very restrainedly: "When I rescue them all, He Ba Yu'er just wants revenge. I guess as long as I go , they will let him go." After saying that, Bai Feng turned around and left the camp, and was about to untie the only remaining horse, planning to go into the Longtan Tiger's Den alone as He Ba Yu'er promised.
Even though Murong Yan was on the verge of collapse, she asked Zhao Xiaomei to follow Bai Feng relentlessly and ask him to think carefully about the countermeasures. However, Bai Feng was still stubborn and it was not until Zhao Kuo and his men came to stop him before leaving that things changed.
I saw that this rich young man was now covered in dust and mud, with blood and sweat on his face. He arrived in time with Tuoba Yan, who had just returned to the camp, and said to the young swordsman: "Brother Bai, please be patient and listen to your good advice!"
"Brother Bai, not everyone in this world is as moral as you!" Tuoba Chen bowed his hands and said: "When I saw the smoke rising here, I knew something big had happened. So after setting up a barrier at the foot of the mountain, Make people rush back. Brother Bai, you can't go alone!"
"Then what can you do? Brother Zhao, Brother Tuoba, with just our few troops, we can't even be considered an army. We can't defeat them at all!"
Zhao Kuo said: "Brother Bai, they are obviously trying to set up a trap to invite you to the urn. Such conspiracy is really hard to guard against. But you are so reckless, I will not let you go and die alone!"
"Brother Zhao, don't you care at all that Miss Lou and Miss Ajuan were captured together? You have used them and now you don't care about their lives?"
"Of course I care! Whether it's the two of them or all the herdsmen here. But you, you really don't want your life!"
Seeing the two young masters who were usually brothers yelling at each other, everyone stepped forward to try to persuade them.
Tuoba Yan advised from the side: "Brother Bai, there is one thing I must tell you. In fact, He Ba Yu'er is most likely a girl that my brother A Kuang and I saved! So, You’d better take us with you, Mr. Zhao and I have already come up with a countermeasure!”
"Oh? How do you interpret this?"
"The crossbow arrows in He Ba Yu'er's hand are very similar to the crossbow arrows I used to use. They were the 'toys' I made for A Kuang when I was a child." Tuoba Yan slowly walked to Bai Feng's side as he spoke. , then continued: "When we were two brothers, our parents died young, and the Tuoba tribe did not accept 'waste people' who lived and ate for free, so we made a living by stealing property from dead bodies on the battlefield since we were young. Such a disgraceful thing It’s a shame to say this.”
When Bai Feng learned that Tuoba Yan in front of her was also a war orphan, she suddenly felt a warm feeling and catered to him, "What happened next?"
"Later, we two brothers followed the Tuoba tribe to Wuchuan Town and accepted He Basheng's recruitment. From then on, there was no war, and we had no income, so we could only make a living by stealing. One night we found Wuchuan Town I was about to steal enough grain to survive for a few days in the granary, but a tall Han man suddenly broke in, holding a young girl in his hand. Seeing that the situation was not good, I sent A Guang to aim He shot an arrow into the Han man's eye."
Tuoba Yan saw that Bai Feng was listening with rapt attention, so he got closer and closer to him and said, "A Guang's arrow skills are quite accurate, but the Han man was blind in one eye. Instead of retreating, he was aroused with resentment. He was about to pounce on us two brothers. In panic, Ah Kuang threw the crossbow I gave him into the granary and ran away with me."
Zhao Kuo immediately shouted: "Brother Bai, don't act out of anger next time. If you are gone, how will I explain to Miss Murong!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xiaomei helped Murong Yan and walked out from behind Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Xiaomei greeted: "Brother Tuoba, you are finally back. Fortunately, I have you, otherwise Mr. Bai would definitely have to go alone."
"Yes, he is always like this..." Murong Yan was so weak that her voice could hardly be heard. She could only hear her saying softly to Bai Feng, Tuoba Yan, and Zhao Kuo: "You will definitely come back alive, you will definitely... "
After that, Zhao Kuo started to mobilize a few followers and horses, and set out on the road with Bai Feng, Tuoba Yan and others.
