Bianshanhan [farming]

After getting the road guide, I bought vehicles and mules non-stop. The trip was more than 2000 miles, and there were so many things. It would be better to have animals to pull the carts.

Li Qingzhuo asked his eldest brother for money, went back to the shop to dispense a lot of medicine, and kowtowed goodbye to the master.

Dr. Lu took pity on his apprentice, stuffed him with a bag full of blood-nourishing pills, and told him to be careful in everything.

Almost everything to be cleaned up, and it was getting late, Li Qingzhuo sent the decoction and dressings to the cell, and bought some wine and vegetables, and sent them to Jiang Liping and the others.

Hearing Li Qingzhuo say that Jiang Cong is better now, the Li family breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to fill their stomachs.

The four of them will be leaving tomorrow, afraid of something going wrong at night, the family stayed in the county today and found the cheapest inn to stay.

Afraid of forgetting something important, Mrs. Chen counted it over and over again, with sudden tears falling on the fur skin.

Jiang couldn't help crying too, the two children knew that their father was leaving again, tears were rolling in their eyes.

The three brothers reassured that there are many people in this group, so suffering should be suffering. They are the least afraid of suffering, so there is no need to worry too much.

Li Maoqun said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the three nephews."

To be honest, with Li Maoqun around, Chen really felt more at ease, and said, "I'm afraid I will have to rely on you a lot for this journey..."

While talking, Mrs. Jiang took a deep breath. Everyone looked over, Mrs. Jiang said with a mournful face, "I forgot to feed the pigs and chickens!"

On this day, I was so busy that my feet didn't touch the ground, so I forgot about those who were waiting to be fed with their mouths open.

Hearing her voice, Mrs. Chen sighed and wiped away her tears, "Get some rest, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep well in the future."

Those who traveled all the way to the north were naturally suffering, and those of them who stayed at home would not be worried.

The oil lamp was extinguished, and the room was plunged into darkness. Li Qingwen closed his eyes, thinking about Jiang Cong, who was unconscious, and the long journey waiting for them, and fell asleep in a daze.

Both Chen and Jiang couldn't close their eyes, let alone sleep, afraid of disturbing others by making noise, they said God's blessing in their hearts.

No matter how hard it was, the night was over.

Hearing the sound of the guy outside coughing, Li Qingwen woke up and found that everyone was up and sitting quietly in the room, except for his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

After a while, the guy came up to call for someone, and the family went down to eat noodles. Li Qingwen saw that his sister-in-law's eyes were red and swollen, but her complexion was better than yesterday.

After eating, tidying up and driving the car, the family waited at the back door of the yamen.

At dawn, the county government gate opened, and the yawning guards came out first, followed by the exiles in shackles.

Li Qingrui had already taken care of it yesterday, and the guard raised his eyelids to look at the big family members, without saying anything, and began to count the prisoners and the dry food in the car according to the roster.

Jiang Liping and the others went outside the door, looking at the battle outside, they were all taken aback, "Brothers of the Li family, you, you, this is this?"

"Let's take a walk with our benefactor." Li Qingrui stepped forward and together with Li Maoqun carried Jiang Cong, who was still unconscious, onto a stretcher.

Li Qingzhuo immediately stepped forward to take his pulse, inspected the wound, and the high fever on his body subsided a little, which is a good thing.

Li Qingwen brought over the soup and medicine that had been boiled in the inn, and fed it little by little.

Without waiting for details, the guard shouted and set off. Li Qingrui and Li Maoqun lifted the stretcher one after the other and followed behind.

Li Qingzhuo drove the car, while Li Qingwen and the rest of the Li family walked beside him.

After leaving the north gate, the brothers of the Li family stopped unconsciously, turned their heads and said loudly: "Mother, go back."

Knowing that their trip was completed, Chen Shi did not cry, and warned: "Be careful on the road, take care of your benefactor, you can come back safely."

The brothers nodded heavily and waved goodbye.

Watching father and uncle go away, Li Zhengliang and Li Zhengming howled at the top of their voices, and the hearts of those who heard it trembled. Li Qingfeng said with a grimace: "The man is crying so much!"

Li Zhengliang looked up at him, pursed his mouth and said, "Little Fourth Uncle, your tears have washed your face..."

After glaring at him fiercely, Li Qingfeng turned around, casually wiped off the wet spots on his face with his hands, and said in a rough voice, "Good men have to go everywhere, and those who are worthless stay at home all the time!"

Li Zhengming hiccupped from crying, raised his face and asked, "Where did that little fourth uncle go?"

Li Qingfeng, who had never traveled far before, became angry from embarrassment. He reached out and touched the itchy flesh of his two nephews, and said in a vicious voice, "Wait and see, I will travel farther than anyone in the future!"

The two children were crying and laughing after being scratched, they were almost out of breath, Chen patted Li Qingfeng to prevent him from doing evil, and the melancholy of parting was dissipated by the fight.

After walking a long distance, Li Qingwen turned his head and could still see a few small figures at the gate of the city. His heart felt swollen and sore, and he finally turned his head and continued on his way.

Among the four of them, Li Maoqun didn't feel any worries about leaving home, but walked briskly, "This shelf is quite useful, and it saves effort to carry such a big person!"

Jiang Cong was really not short. Li Qingwen had someone make a large-sized stretcher at the time, but now there is hardly any room left. After silently making a few gestures, Li Qingwen felt that Jiang Cong should be five or six feet tall, about 1.8 meters.

It was the height that Li Qingwen envied.

The car was full of things, and Li Qingwen couldn't sit down, so he walked beside the stretcher. Seeing the sleepy man's tough face and slightly frowning brows, he asked, "Second Brother, when will Big Brother Jiang wake up?"

Before Li Qingzhuo could speak, Jiang Liping, who deliberately slowed down his pace, said: "He woke up for a while last night, fed him two sips of water, and fell into a coma again...Brother, thank you for the food and wine you brought yesterday. Since we left home, we have not How did you get a decent meal?"

"Brother Jiang, you're welcome." Li Qingrui talked to him several times, and he was very familiar with him, "Don't say you are a colleague of our benefactor, even if we walked this journey together, our fate is not shallow."

Jiang Liping took a deep look at him, and said: "I really never thought that you would send Jiang Cong to the border town. Really, we will never have a bright future in this life. If he knows that you are in danger for him, I'm afraid it won't be true." To die of guilt."

Not only Jiang Liping, but others were also greatly shocked by the actions of the Li family brothers. Not only was the journey far away, but the journey was full of dangers. The postmen in the north didn't know how many people died in a year, and they didn't know how long they would survive.

In this line of work, it's almost about keeping your head off your belt.

It would be fine if he was a real brother, but he was rescued by Jiang Cong once, and the person who only contacted him by letter later escorted him regardless of the danger of his life.

Li Qingrui said: "Brother Jiang, don't say that. People have hope in life, and the days to come will be long. Who knows if there will be a bright future. If the benefactor wakes up and chases people away, we will not go back, and we will kill everyone." Only when the last ones are delivered to the place, can we brothers have an explanation."

"That's right." Li Maoqun said, "People in their family have always valued friendship, and his father is also a bull. He used to carry his old friends from the capital to his house, which was more than 1000 miles away. Then there was a famine in our place, and they all ran away. When he went out to beg for food, his father's old friend drove all the way to deliver the food, and encountered many robberies on the way, what a life-threatening friendship!"

Li Maoqun was talking about Cheng Nianming, who used to work with Li Maoxian in the capital. At that time, Li Maoxian was young and had no skills, so he was sent to pull stones.

Li Maoxian's foot was almost broken, so he couldn't work, and the supervisor didn't give him food. Many injured people starved to death.Cheng Nianming, who was a carpenter at the time, thought he was pitiful, and taught him craftsman work at night. Qin Lin, a scholar, went to steal wine to rub his feet.

Cheng Nianming told the villagers about the past, and the people in Yangshu Village were dumbfounded. Jiang Liping only listened to Li Maoqun's casual remarks, and immediately felt that Jiang Cong's risk of saving people was worth it.

After walking for a while, Li Qingwen said, "Uncle Maoqun, let me carry it instead."

Li Maoqun was panting slightly, his face was heavy with sweat, he still wanted to hold on, but Li Qingwen insisted on grabbing it, with the wood in his hand, his arms were heavy, Li Qingwen immediately raised his breath to support it.

Jiang Cong was tall and slender. At first glance, he looked a little thin, but the flesh on his body was firm and hefty.

Soon, Li Qingzhuo also replaced Li Qingrui. Li Qingrui didn't try to be brave. It's been a long journey, and this is just the beginning.

Because of the large number of people, the line of their group was very long.

At the front were the guards leading the way, and in the middle were the prisoners in shackles. The Li brothers carried Jiang Cong and walked behind Jiang Liping and the others. There were guards and mule carts behind them.

The guards at the back were to prevent the prisoners from escaping, and the cattle and mule carts were assigned by the officials, and they were loaded with the prisoners' clothes, luggage and rations.

Bingzhou is vast and sparsely populated. They passed through many villages from before the sun came out to the middle of the sun, but still did not see the shadow of the town in front of them. The lunch was the dry food sent by the guards.

While everyone was sitting on the side of the road eating, Li Qingwen and others immediately lit a fire on the spot, took the medicine jar wrapped in the quilt to the fire, heated it, and fed it to Jiang Cong.

Yellow water was still flowing from the wound on Jiang Cong's leg. Li Qingwen was a little worried, but Li Qingzhuo said it was okay. He grabbed Li Qingwen's hand, looked at the blood bubbles on it, and quickly pierced it with a silver needle. Just grind it."

If it wasn't for the second elder brother's caring for him, and Li Qingzhuo's ruthless appearance, Li Qingwen would really doubt whether he was his real brother.

After eating, he set off immediately. After all, Li Qingwen had little strength and had less time to carry the stretcher, but he was also terribly tired. The autumn wind blew rustlingly, and his sweat-soaked back was icy cold.

When the sun was about to set, Li Qingwen cheered up and quickened his pace when he heard that the front station was approaching.

As the surroundings became darker and the road was uneven, Li Qingwen suddenly stepped into the air, his body tilted, and Li Qingzhuo behind him was also staggered.

The stretcher fell to the ground with a "bump", which startled everyone.

There was a stabbing pain in his ankle, and Li Qingwen was in a bad mood. Just as he struggled to stand up, he heard his elder brother shout in surprise, "Wake up!"
