Under the dim light, Qin Yu treated Tie Mian's wounds carefully.
"What's your name? How old are you? Why did you come to the battlefield?"
Since there was no anesthetic, Tiemian could only grit his teeth and endure the pain when dealing with the wound.
"Li Yue, this year happens to be eighteen."
"Then you joined the army at the age of sixteen? You are two years younger than me. I really admire you. Even if you are a daughter, you went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen." Qin Yu said with a smile.
"It's just that I was forced to do nothing."
Li Yue sighed, "Two years ago, after the king's conscription order came down, every household had to have a male. My brother died in the war early and my father was old, so I had no choice but to wear men's clothing."
"Join the army in place of your father? Are every girl who joins the army in place of her father so brave on the battlefield?"
"Now that I'm on the battlefield, I have to prove that it doesn't matter if I'm a girl, I can still kill the enemy and serve the country, and I will never be worse than a man! Uh~!"
Qin Yu poured the medicine on the wound, and the pain immediately caused Li Yue to grit her teeth and groan, clutching the straw tightly with both hands, and large beads of sweat dripped from her forehead.
"Scream out if it hurts. Holding it in will hurt your body." Qin Yu closed the medicine bottle and picked up the gauze to wrap it around Li Yue.
"I heard that you are infected and can be contagious. Is it true?" Qin Yu asked.
"Are you afraid? But if you are afraid now, isn't it too late?" Li Yue patted Qin Yu's hand away and wrapped the gauze around himself.
Qin Yu sat aside and looked at Li Yue's back, "When we were studying medicine, the teacher told us that doctors should not be afraid of any patient or condition they encounter."
"Tell me what your illness is, and I'll see if I can treat it."
After Li Yue wrapped the gauze, she had to put on the blood-stained lining and armor.
"Don't wear the lining yet. It's dirty. I'll ask Jie Yuan to bring you the washed lining later." Qin Yu took the blood-stained lining over and didn't let Li Yue put it on.
"Actually, I didn't contract the disease. If I didn't say so, do you think I would still be in such a good situation now?" Li Yue looked at Qin Yu with gratitude in her eyes.
Qin Yu nodded. It was indeed true. The army was all men, and they had not seen women in several years.
Once Li Yue's identity is exposed, at least the infectious disease can protect her.
"When you are healed, come to my side. Lin Yue has already run away. I will ensure your safety." Qin Yu stood up and threw the medicine bottle to Li Yue.
Li Yue caught the medicine bottle and looked at Qin Yu deeply with her beautiful eyes.
Then he put on the mask again, held up his body and thanked me, "Thank you for your life-saving grace. Thanks to you for never giving up. I am willing to die for you in order to repay your kindness."
"Take good care of your injuries." Qin Yu nodded, confessed and walked out of the room.
Outside the room, Jie Yuan has been waiting here, and the other wounded are also watching here.
"Centurion, are you okay?" Jie Yuan hid far away, fearing that Qin Yu would also catch the disease and infect him.
Qin Yu patted the hay hanging at the corner of his clothes and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't come into contact with his body, you won't be infected, but you'd better not get close to this place easily."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their worries about Qin Yu were finally relieved.
"Centurion, what should I do with this iron mask?" Jie Yuan asked while making a gesture of wiping his neck.
Qin Yu almost went up and kicked him. Why is this doctor always thinking about killing others?
"Okay, I have a way to cure the disease he contracted, but it will take time." Qin Yu ordered, "Remember to send him a change of clothes every day, and remember to send him three meals a day."
"Centurion, don't worry. Since you told me, I will definitely take good care of him." Jie Yuan said hurriedly.
At this moment, a figure ran into the wounded soldiers camp panting against the cold wind.
"Centurion! It's not good! It's not good! We...we...ours! The armory is compromised!" Lao Huang shouted to Qin Yu, panting like an ox.
Qin Yu's face suddenly changed. The armory is the foundation for defending against enemies! Most importantly, the burning of the armory was bound to disturb the morale of the army.
Lao Huang only felt a figure flash past in front of his eyes, and then
Qin Yu disappeared after that.
After Lao Huang reacted, he turned around and hurriedly chased after him.
"Centurion! Wait for me!"
···
Under the fire, the entire south gate fell into chaos.
All the soldiers ran down the city wall, carrying buckets of water and struggling to put out the fire. Fortunately, they were full and strong, otherwise they would have just watched the fire howl.
Although everyone tried their best, it was only a drop in the bucket, and the effect on the raging fire was minimal.
Qin Yu saw the sky-high flames in the distance. By the time Qin Yu ran back all the way, the fire had already engulfed several large warehouses next to the armory.
Those large warehouses were filled with soldiers' clothing, and the fire became even more fierce this time.
Even in this cold winter month, the entire south gate does not feel a trace of cold, but feels a bit hot.
Faced with such a huge fire, Qin Yu didn't know what to do for a while.
"Centurion! What to do? If the fire is allowed to spread, the whole city will probably burn down!" Old Huang was jumping up and down anxiously.
"That's right! Don't let the fire spread! Old Huang!" Qin Yu grabbed Old Huang's collar and roared to make Old Huang calm down.
"Old Huang! You take the brothers and clear everything around the fire place. Remove anything that can burn. Then dig a trench in the ground and surround the fire. Go!"
"No!" Lao Huang heard that Qin Yu had a way to put out the fire, and immediately ran to the fire scene.
Lao Huang quickly organized his manpower and followed Qin Yu to clean up things around the fire scene under the scorching heat of the fire, and then dug a gully around the fire scene.
Because it was too hot, Qin Yu led everyone to take off their armor and everything, but everyone was still burned red all over.
After a night of hard work, the fire was finally put out.
When everyone went up to the snow, a burst of white smoke suddenly appeared from their bodies, and the snow beneath them melted into water.
At this time, it was already dawn, and everyone was lying on the ground exhausted, and some even started snoring as soon as they lay down.
"Boom boom boom..."
Suddenly, drums sounded outside the city.
Qin Yu's expression changed, he stood up and ran towards the city wall.
Others also jumped up from the ground. Those who were too asleep were kicked awake by the people next to them. Their expressions changed greatly when they heard the sound.
"What are you doing standing still! Go up to the city wall!" Lao Huang shouted and followed Qin Yu towards the city wall.
When Qin Yu climbed onto the city wall, stretched out his head and looked out, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
I saw a dense army appearing outside the city, stepping on the white snow, walking towards the city step by step.
That large, straight flag was swaying in the cold wind, and the winter sun climbing out of the ground was shining on it, like a reminder for everyone.
