Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 443
In the imperial city, the wind and rain are treacherous, and a huge conspiracy is breeding and spreading.

Looking far to the west, tens of miles away, Li Xian bowed to the ancient tree covered with red strings, and then went to the mountainside with the newly-acquainted old Taoist.

It has been seven days since I came here, and the memory of the imperial city has gradually faded out of sight, and more is to appreciate the customs and customs here.

The house I chose to build is in a wide area on the mountainside, which occupies a small area but has an excellent view.These days I went down the mountain to buy things, and I became familiar with the names of the villages at the foot of the mountain during my trips here and there. I would bring some candies and other things with me every day, which won the approval of the villagers, and many people came to help one two.

Li Xian likes to go to a flat rock outside his house to chat with an old man who does morning exercises every day.

The breeze carried the rustling footsteps far away, and the branches of the big pine tree beside the rock rustled in the morning wind.

Li Xian followed the Taoist to the open land of dozens of pages on the mountainside, looking at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, and sat cross-legged.The golden sun shone, and the clouds and mists rolled like real waves.

"Every time I look at the sea of ​​clouds, my mind seems to be soared by it, calm and serene. Mr. Li is a person with excellent eyesight, and he will choose such an excellent area."

The old Taoist has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and the white eyebrows are quite long, hanging down the corners of the eyes, giving people the feeling of a master.

Every time he chatted with this person, Li Xian also felt very comfortable, looking back at the temporary thatched hut he had just built the day before yesterday, he smiled wryly.

"Although the beautiful scenery is beautiful, this house is really an eyesore, and I need to take a good rest."

Ha ha ha.

Oh, the old Taoist laughed, put his hands into his sleeves, and took out two simple bull's-eye pottery cups and a small pot of fermented rice as if by magic.

Fill up a glass and pass it to Li Xian.

"As for the matter of the house, if Pindao can help out a little bit, he won't hesitate."

"Come and taste it. This is a delicious wine brought from the capital by pilgrims who went to the temple. It is rare. Today, I will have a drink or two with your predestined little brother."

The familiar taste of fermented wine wandered through the mouthpiece. When Li Xian focused his eyes on the word Dukang Wine Shop on the clay pot, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and slowly put the cup on the flat rock.

"If the layman likes it, I will give you another bucket when Li Xian returns to Beijing in the future. It will be a gift for you."

Hearing this, the old Taoist's astonished face turned to joy, and he thanked him again and again.

In fact, even Li Xian never thought that on this sparsely populated mountain, he would encounter his own brewed rice!

"Watching the beautiful scenery of the rising sun and rolling sea of ​​clouds, how can there be no wine? No chess?"

Li Xian took a sip, a faint aroma of wine wafted from his nose and mouth, and with a slight smile, he took out yesterday's wooden chessboard from the shabby house and put it out.

One vertical and one horizontal are exquisitely carved, and the quaint chessboard has a faint fragrance of sandalwood, which makes the old Taoist's eyes shine.

"Young Master Li is indeed a fellow-worker, and he has such exquisite craftsmanship!"

"Tasting wine and watching the sun, playing chess and watching the clouds are more pleasant than my old practice."

Hahaha.

The two met each other and laughed out loud one after another.

The sun rises above the clouds and shines on it. The golden color streaks across the swaying old pine branches, and the light spots fall on the flat rocks. Two figures, one blue and one gray, either hold a chess piece in their hands and fall steadily, or hold a cup and put it on the corner of their mouth in contemplation. .

……

squeak.

The wheels turned slowly against the loess ground.

In the desolate foothills of Liangzhou and Lingzhou, the shafts of the vehicles undulate up and down, rolling over the rough gravel and gravel roads.

crunch.

Occasionally bumping into the rock and shaking violently, a blood-clotting corpse slid down from above, and densely packed maggots fell to the ground.A few soldiers covering their mouths and noses rushed over, hurriedly lifted the body up again, and when it was dropped on the frame, an unknown yellow soup splashed, arousing flies and insects, and the buzzing of wings. Flying in the air with a buzzing sound.Then it moved slowly again following the rut, and continued to fall on the corpse to lick and bite.

The war is over and the army is gone, but the corpses that follow need to be restrained and buried.

It was already close to January, and there was no time to take care of the corpses who died tragically on the grassland, but the corpses stationed in the city still needed to be dealt with.

The Central Plains is getting hotter and hotter, and as far away as the border towns in the west, the frozen world is beginning to recover in the warming sunlight, and the putrid smell of dead bodies is gradually oozing out.

In front of the silent team, the school lieutenant on a war horse was holding an iron spear. His armored figure looked at the line of troops lined up in front of him. The sun shone on his dignified face from the east, and there was a hint of worry in his heart. color.

Often big wars mean mass slaughter!
When Lingzhou counterattacked, this was the situation. Countless Tang soldiers rushed out of Lingzhou City, which had been besieged for half a month, and with endless anger, beheaded the Tuyuhun soldiers who had hurriedly returned to help.

As the war progressed, the entire wasteland and the nearby Liangzhou city were strewn with corpses, and it was necessary to dare to remove the corpses before they rotted.If not, sooner or later a plague more terrible than war will follow.

The lieutenant, who was retching, turned his face to his side, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, barely blocked the disgusting breath, and spoke intermittently.

"Captain, the weather is turning hot now, how long will we wait for this mountain of corpses to grow? And these people..."

"If there is a big epidemic, Liangzhou and Lingzhou will probably be completely deserted. Will we be poked in the back by doing this?"

The leading general held the iron spear tightly in his hand, and as a newly dispatched general to guard this frontier land, he was naturally responsible for the people here, and he was naturally responsible for the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty.

In the past few days, before some hungry people had time to wait for the arrival of the relief food, they collected dry food, clothes, and utensils from these dead bodies.Accidentally contracted the disease, coupled with the increasingly warm weather, some people have already been infected with an unknown plague.

Pustules festered all over his body, itching unbearably like a demon haunting him, and he couldn't stop scratching.It was not until the blood was dripping, until the pustules were broken and the juice splashed out that he died in pain and struggle, and then it was reported that the people in some villages went to see them off on a large scale to be infected...

If these people are allowed to flee wantonly, what will the frontier of the Tang Dynasty look like, and whether the middle land of the Tang Dynasty will be invaded, the captain dare not think...

Slowly closing his eyes, looking at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, the captain turned his head to look at the lieutenant general, and sighed.

"As a soldier, you should guard the border and defend the country! You should take obedience as your duty."

"The doctors dispatched around are already in place, and they have made a special trip to develop special medicine stones for this disease. Before the new medicine is developed, they must follow what the military adviser said. If they are found to be ill, the citizens should be imprisoned and assembled."

There was a pause in the words, the captain glanced at the long queue of transporting dead bodies, his complexion darkened, a little bit reluctant.

After a long silence, his brows sank.

"The order continues, all soldiers must be careful when they come into contact with these dead bodies and patients! They must also take out thick cloth shirts to cover up!"

"Once there is a person in the team who has a high fever and headache, dark lines and pustules on the face, or a person with foul-smelling diarrhea, they will all be led to a secluded place and beheaded!"

"The pure land in the Tang Dynasty must be preserved."
