A Timely Wife

Xiong Ruoshan and the Li family did not die, and Li Ruosong and Chengdong will soon pass the news of their return from the south all the way back to Nanjiang Mansion. , and brought tens of thousands of troops back.

Before the people surrounded in the political building could react, the rebels had already been put down by the common people who rushed over from the surrounding towns. Their fierce fighting power made all the special forces feel a little ashamed.

The people who rushed over all came from various factories and mines in the resident. Before rushing to Nanjiang Mansion, these people also cooperated with the picket team to clear up the prisoners who were released and the prisoners who were incited. These people, they didn't come here so many days late. The news of Li Ruosong and Chengdong's death made them panic, and they were a little confused. The people in several towns over there feel at ease. As long as these two people are alive, they have the hope of defeating Dahe. On the third day of the solution, Shen Shoufu's eldest son's last words were sent back to Nanjiang Mansion. In the last words left to his family, Shen Shoufu's eldest son wrote: On the evening of the third day, the enemy army broke into the city from the west gate and started street fighting in the city. The casualties are exhausted, and there is no more soldiers to attack. Shen must not live up to the emperor's grace, he should fulfill his duty as a soldier, and lead his troops to guard the house for the last resistance, until he dies. This is probably the last word. See you in the next life.

On the same day, Xiong Ruoshan issued a mobilization order on the central square. He said these words in front of everyone, and someone shouted loudly on the spot: "Why do you treat the court? Why do you treat the people? It is better to be a ghost in battle than Be a subjugated slave! I am invincible! I am invincible! I am willing to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy to be loyal!"

Facing the common people who were clamoring to join the army to serve the court, Xiong Ruoshan said loudly: "At the time when Southern Chu is surviving and dying, the war has begun. The war in the south has just stopped, and the war in the west has resumed. As Southern Chu people, at this moment, there is no distinction between the north and the south, and no distinction between people, old or young. No matter who you are, everyone has the responsibility to defend the land and fight, and we all have the determination to sacrifice everything. We can only sacrifice to the end, fight the enemy to the end, and hold Only the determination to die can win the final victory.

Ruoshan, as the emperor of Southern Chu, should go to the battlefield to fight fiercely, defend our territory in Southern Chu, and protect our people in Southern Chu, but he only asked for horse leather. A lot of people went in, and after retreating into the Devil's Valley, the slightly more seriously injured soldiers could not get any medical treatment. In the absence of medical treatment, these people could only die in extreme pain. These 27 of them were The remains of the Southern Chu soldiers who died in the Devil's Valley the first time were buried nearby. Li Ruosong carved a wooden tombstone for each of them, with their names, ages, hometowns and other information written on it, and then folded them one after another. More than 40 people were in the Devil's Valley, some of them accidentally inhaled the miasma and died, some went to the valley to find food and died, some died of being bitten by poisonous substances, and some of them couldn't even find the cause of death.

When Chengdong saw Li Ruosong, he almost failed to recognize him. He was surrounded by several people and sat on the stone wall, with a piece of cloth wrapped around his legs. He was dirty and blood-stained, and he was thin and out of shape. If it weren't for the heaving of his chest, Chengdong would have thought that Li Ruosong was dead, and the situation of the others was not optimistic, but Chengdong couldn't care less about checking other people's situation. The only thing he could see was the bearded, Pale man.

"Ruosong, I'm Chengdong. I'm here to take you home." Chengdong squatted beside Li Ruosong, holding Li Ruosong's hand, and said softly.

Li Ruosong was in a daze. Two days ago when he was taking people to look for food, something scratched his calf. At that time, he didn't think there was anything wrong, until he found that the wound was festering at night, and he also started to have a fever. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. Although the people around him immediately found some herbs and applied them on him, the effect was mediocre. To this day, Li Ruosong always feels like he is going to die. He no longer feels pain and hunger. He would think of his family, especially his husband, and he didn't know what Chengdong would do after his death, and whether he would be sad for his passing away. When he was thinking about it, he heard Chengdong's words in his ear. The voice is so real, as if Chengdong Street is beside him.

"Husband?" Li Ruosong opened his eyes with some difficulty, and saw that Chengdong was looking at him worriedly, with wet tears on his face, Li Ruosong wanted to raise his hand to help Chengdong dry his tears, just like before Same, unfortunately, he tried his best but couldn't move his fingers.

However, even if it is an illusion, I can finally see my husband before I die. One last look at you before I die."

Cheng Dong raised his hand, squeezed Li Ruosong's face hard, and said, "What nonsense, you won't die."

Li Ruosong blinked his eyes in some doubts, the feeling was too real, could it be that his husband is really here?Thinking of the possibility of Chengdong running over in person, Li Ruosong was so frightened that his mind was sober, and he didn't know where the strength came from. Li Ruosong sat up at once, held Chengdong's hand and said, "You, you coming?"

Chengdong smiled and replied, "Well, I'm here, I'll take you home."

Li Ruosong was happy and angry at the same time. He didn't know what to say, so he could only hold Chengdong's hand tightly. Chengdong was also very excited. Missing arms and legs, he suffered some injuries but was able to recover. Seeing Li Ruosong's appearance, Cheng Dong held Li Ruosong's hand even harder, tears streaming down his face. From receiving the news of Li Ruosong's disappearance to Seeing Li Ruosong with his own eyes, Cheng Dong endured tears for nearly half a year, and at this moment they finally fell.

The two looked at each other silently for a while, but it was Chengdong who came to his senses first. He took out a box of medicine from his backpack, squeezed one and said to Li Ruosong, "Here, take it."

While talking, he handed his water bottle to Li Ruosong. The medicine he handed to Li Ruosong was not only penicillin, but also antipyretics made from silkworm sand, bamboo rutabaga, and tangerine peel. The development of Chinese patent medicines, such as antipyretics, analgesics, and anesthetics are not uncommon in Southern Chu, and they are very effective and very popular.

Li Ruosong swallowed the medicine in Chengdong's hand, drank two sips of water, and wanted to say something, but couldn't resist the bursts of drowsiness. He only had time to say a few words to Chengdong, and leaned on Chengdong fell asleep.

Chengdong quickly took out a tarpaulin from his backpack and spread it on the ground, and then laid several layers of clothes on. Then he supported Li Ruosong to lie on it, and then moistened a piece of cloth with water, and gently wiped Li Ruosong's face and hands. The others were not idle either. When Chengdong and Li Ruosong were talking, they had already gone to take care of the wounded. All kinds of medicines were prepared relatively well. Except for the wounds of a few seriously wounded who were troublesome and might cause disabilities in the future. The wounds of the wounded were well treated.

After Li Ruosong was settled, Chengdong summoned several captains to discuss how to return to Nanchu. In fact, the best way is to sneak out from Taniguchi without anyone noticing, and turn back according to their route to the south. It is not easy not to disturb the 500 people. It would be okay if there were only 300 of them, but now they have dozens of patients to take with them. It is said that there are dozens of urns to be carried, and it doesn't look like they can sneak out without a sound.And if Taniguchi's defenders are accidentally alarmed, they can win the fight, but the follow-up problems are more difficult to deal with. As long as the other side joins hands to block all the roads leading to Pingnan Mansion, these hundreds of them can only be captured without a fight.

The situation in Southern Chu is already in crisis. This is something Chengdong knew before he came. If they were caught in the south, they would know what would happen with their toes. do not want to see.
