Be a master through ancient times

Not long after the pounded herbal medicine was applied, those who kept scratching their bodies stopped.The original burning and itching feeling was stopped by this cool thing, and it also gave the soldiers who had been suffering these days finally a chance to breathe.

"General Wu, are you alright?" Kou Jing saw Wu Chunlin slowly opened his eyes and his expression became clearer, and immediately leaned over to help him up.

Although Wu Chunlin has been tortured these days, and his consciousness sometimes disappears, he is still clear about the meticulous care of Kou Jing and others.His lips moved, and he spit out a "thank you" breathlessly.

"You should have something to drink first." Kou Jing brought the porridge that was cooking and fed it to Wu Chunlin.Wu Chunlin tried his best to drink some, and his complexion improved a lot.

"General Wu, what did you find in the dense forest that day?" Kou Jing asked. He had been trying to find out about this for the past few days, but they scratched desperately when they were awake.

Speaking of this, Wu Chunlin's eyes were filled with fear, his body trembled slightly, and he blurted out: "Bugs, all bugs!"

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and tried to calm himself down: "That day, a soldier found the traces of the Jiuzhu people. When we followed the footprints into the dense forest, we saw a cloud of black mist drifting over... it was full of bugs ...they pounced and bit, and we fought back, but there were too many..."

Kou Jing recalled the scene of finding them. At that time, she only saw a large group of people lying on the ground and scratching herself, and she had no time to care about other things. Thinking about it now, it seemed that there were some insect corpses on the ground.

"Wusan, are there insects in this miasma?" Kou Jing asked.

Wu San's face was solemn: "Yes, there are mosquitoes everywhere in places where rotting corpses gather. These mosquitoes are as big as black ants, and their bites can make people fester. They must have been bitten by this kind of mosquitoes."

Wu Chunlin's face turned pale: "No wonder, no wonder there was a bad smell, we fell for it!"

Seeing this, Kou Jing could only comfort him with a few words to let him have a good rest.Through these few words, he probably guessed that when he found the trace of the enemy that day, the two teams probably hadn't separated yet.This Wu Chunlin was afraid that they would take the credit, so he acted alone, but he fell into the enemy's trick and fell into danger.

"Master, the miasma gathered by these poisonous insects is not so easy to cure. The small ones can only make them less painful temporarily, but there is nothing they can do to cure them." Wu San looked ashamed, he didn't learn it seriously Doctor, this three-legged cat's kung fu was learned secretly when he was working as a servant beside an old doctor.

Kou Jing patted him on the shoulder: "No problem, now that I know the reason, I will send people down the mountain tomorrow to find some support, and bring them back to the city for treatment."

"Aren't you going back to the city?" Wu San was a little worried. Since those Jiuzhu people were able to produce the miasma poison, there must be a follow-up. The head of his family is healthy and not infected this time, so it may not be the case next time. Good luck.

Kou Jing shook her head: "I can't go back to the city yet, letting him go now is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Jiuzhu and Langqiong are ambitious. Now that we have found an opportunity to break his arm, we have to seize it." With a touch of firm belief.It's not just Wu Chunlin who wants to earn military merit, he does too.

When Wu San heard this, he could only express helplessly: "Since the master has made up his mind, I won't persuade you any more. I will stay here and wait for your order."

"Since Uncle Xu asked you to come to run the business, you can go back and report to your orders when the goods are sold out. There is no need to stay here." Kou Jing said.

Wu San smiled and shook his head: "That's not possible. If Steward Xu knows that our brothers put you in danger and don't care about it, he must take off our skin. As for the goods, they will be sold at the Yuexi Imperial City." It's empty, don't worry."

Kou Jing saw that although he was smiling, but his face was determined, she didn't persuade him much, but ordered the soldiers to sweep out a separate place in the cave to accommodate them.

When they first went up the mountain, they never thought that it would take so many days to find them, so they only carried dry food for a few days.These days, they were half-starved and half-full. Occasionally, Kou Jing and Qin Zhao would hunt some prey to satisfy their hunger, but the food without salt was only for satiation.

When Wu San and the others came, they brought a lot of grain and salt with them. After so many days of hard work on the mountain, the soldiers finally had a full meal.

At night, Kou Jing sat alone by a fire at the entrance of the cave, and took out the letters that had been stuffed in her chest during the day.Kou Jing thought that these letters were all written by Butler Xu, but when he read them one by one, he found Chu Ci's handwriting, and he straightened his back in joy.

Unable to wait to open the letter, Kou Jing greedily stared at every word on it, reluctant to move her eyes away.After reading it, he felt a sense of satisfaction and sadness in his heart, and felt his whole heart swell.Brother Ci said that this is the tenth letter he has written to himself since he lost contact, and he doesn't know if it will be delivered smoothly, but no matter whether he can or not, he will continue to write and send it.

The sense of expectation and loss in the letter was vivid on the paper, he wished he could write back a letter immediately, telling him that everything was fine and let him not worry.Brother Ci also told him the current state of Nanmin. After learning that the crisis in Nanmin had been resolved long ago, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After reading all the letters, Kou Jing folded them again and put them back on her body, looking into the distance through the thick night.

I don't usually think that it was only after this war that I really understood what is meant by "beacon fire lasts for three months, and family letters are worth ten thousand gold".

……

The next day, Kou Jing sent people back to Lincang City to find support, and at the same time called a few more people, and then went to the dense forest to investigate.

Xu Qiaonan didn't get infected very much when taking care of the patients, and they have been suffering from unbearable abdominal pain for the past few days. Fortunately, Wu San made them some medicine yesterday, and after drinking it, it really relieved some pain.Now that Kou Jing is going to explore the dense forest, she immediately got up and went too.

Qin Zhao pressed him down with one hand, and said with a smile, "Don't go with your small body. If you fall on the way, I'll have to carry you back."

Xu Qiaonan's eyes widened with resentment: "I got sick just once, and you look down on me? If you have the ability to fight, let's see if the young master doesn't beat you to the ground!"

Qin Zhao snorted, didn't he just occupy the family background and beat him a few times in the initial competition?Look at this snarky look!Afterwards, there was no distinction between brothers and sisters.

Xu Qiaonan wanted to say more, but Kou Jing spoke up: "Qiao Nan, you are still in good health, so don't follow, you stay here to beware of those nine baht people, if someone sneaks up, remember to set this thing on fire. "

Xu Qiaonan reluctantly agreed, Qin Zhao occupied Shangshui, and walked with wind, but Kou Jing couldn't see it, and knocked twice before he calmed down and walked back and forth to the dense forest.

Soon, we reached that intersection.Kou Jing raised her hand to signal everyone not to leave, then squatted down and carefully checked the footprints at the intersection outside, and suddenly found other marks that were different from the Wei's military boots.The imprint looked very clear, probably left within a day or two.That means that the Jiuzhu people have been inside recently.

Kou Jing explained the analysis to everyone, and then ordered everyone to follow the previously agreed requirements.Everyone tied up the wrists and trouser legs outside, and tied a piece of cloth on the face, only showing two eyes.After everything was ready, the group of people slowly walked towards the depths of the dense forest.

In the deep forest where the sun hasn’t been seen for a long time, the fallen leaves are piled up and rotting, exuding an unpleasant smell, which can even make people feel dizzy after smelling for a long time.Presumably this is why Wu Chunlin and his party didn't smell the smell of rotting corpses immediately after they came in.

Kou Jing saw that their actions seemed to be a little blocked, and immediately reminded them to take out the bags at their waists and put them under their mouths and noses.The fresh and elegant smell immediately dispels the rotten smell, making people feel enlightened and refreshed immediately.

They continued to walk in, and the more they went in, the more frightened they became.Originally it was noon, when the sun should be at its peak, but here it was like evening.Moreover, there are many birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, but it is so quiet here that there is no living thing, and there is nothing else to be heard except the sound of each other's breathing.

A group of people walked for a while, there was a turning in front, and a little further was the place where they found Wu Chunlin and others that day.Just as they were about to pass, Kou Jing suddenly raised her hand to signal them to stop.Everyone immediately stopped in place, and then heard a clear sound of digging.

Again and again, the sound was extremely clear, and in such an environment, it sounded particularly permeating.Most importantly, they also smelled a smell different from rotting leaves. That smell, like a battlefield that had not been cleaned up for a long time in summer, seemed to be mixed with the stench of fresh blood.
