Traversing back to ancient times, Western medicine also farms

Before dawn the next day, the horns for assembly were blown in the camp.Immediately, there were hissing sounds of getting up and getting dressed in the room.Li Mushu rolled up the blanket on his body in a half dream and half awake, still wanting to sleep.Although he was sleeping on the ground, there was a difference between lying down and stretching his limbs to sleep, and sleeping with his body curled up. Anyway, he slept very comfortably this time.Just thinking about staying in bed for a few minutes, Zhang Qiang woke up with a frantic shaking and his loud voice: "Li Mushu, Xiao Mu, don't sleep and get up quickly, you will be executed if you are late."

Sentence?Li Mushu was shocked and sat up suddenly with a pain in his buttocks.Under Zhang Qiang's surprised gaze, he quickly folded the blanket and fastened his clothes (Xiao Mumu didn't take off his clothes while sleeping), urging Zhang Qiang to run outside together and rinse his mouth and face with cold water.

Li Mushu didn't dare to wash his face.Zhang San's warning is still in his ears, and it is not unreasonable.The water was very cold, Li Mushu wet a cloth towel to seal his face, and wiped his eyes and lips to finish washing.Walking back into the room, imitating Zhang Qiang, wrapping the blanket in a square shape and carrying it on the back.Then follow them to the gathering place.

The meeting place is outside the gate of Guning Town.The recruits lined up one by one to receive breakfast and a leather bag of water at the gate of the temporary camp.Breakfast is two whole grain buns.Then eat while walking and gather outside the city.

Zhang Qiang and his team were almost at the end.By the time they walked out of the city gate, the quasi-soldiers who arrived first had already formed a square formation, and those who came later also lined up one by one.Rows of carriages were parked at the front of the line. Some carriages were full of food and grass, while others were empty.A row of big red silk pennants with a Tang character on them were planted on the cars.Flying in the wind, rustling.

In the early morning, although the air was fresh, it was also very cold. After breakfast, everyone moved the blankets tied behind their backs to the front and hugged each other tightly.Although this blanket is very thin, it is better than nothing.

Li Mushu is a newcomer to Zhang Qiang's formation, and he doesn't know anyone except Zhang Qiang.Zhang Qiang didn't look at Li Mushu carefully last night, but now he looked at Li Mushu in the morning light. He was unkempt, and he looked young and not very strong. Thinking that he was arrested at this last stop, he couldn't help but feel sympathetic. He took Li Mushu under his wing to take care of him.Li Mushu felt grateful and settled down, at least he wouldn't be so flustered if someone took care of each other along the way.

Li Mushu didn't arrive until it was dark last night, but he couldn't see Zhang Qiang's face clearly with just the big oil lamp.Now that everyone was standing so close again, he looked up casually.The first feeling is that he is taller than him, more than half a head taller.It should be 1.8 meters.About 20 years old, Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes are very energetic.

Zhang Qiang is the team leader of this team, and he stands at the front of their formation.Li Mushu was short, so he and Zhang Xiaotian stood in the first line of the team.Zhang Xiaotian is Zhang Qiang's fellow villager, he is about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is quite handsome.It's just that the body looks very thin, and the complexion is not very good.In fact, everyone here has a bad complexion. Children from poor families, who are malnourished and exposed to the sun and rain these days, how can they be better?

Zhang Xiaotian is shy and doesn't talk much.Zhang Qiang played with him from childhood to adulthood, and was recruited into the army at the same time, so he took care of him often.Now Zhang Qiang brought Li Mushu with him again, and after a while, the three of them gradually became familiar with each other.

There was an officer at the front of the line talking loudly, but Li Mushu couldn't hear what he said.I guess most people didn't hear it clearly.After all, there is no loudspeaker, and that person does not seem to have strong internal strength to transmit sound across thousands of miles.So the instructions ahead were passed down from the people in front, and gradually everyone knew it.Li Mushu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: Fortunately, it wasn't gossip, otherwise it would definitely distort the original meaning if it got to him.

The general meaning of the message is that the barbarian army, which has been suppressed by General Xie Yueyun, is launching a large-scale counterattack. Although our side has repelled the enemy time and time again, the casualties are also serious, and there is a shortage of people now.These newly recruited soldiers must speed up to help.The current policy is to abandon the original plan of walking and run wildly in a carriage instead, driving day and night to the border of northern Xinjiang.

When this meaning was passed down, it caused a small commotion, and everyone discussed in a low voice.Some were excited, some were worried, and some were unresponsive.But no matter how good their intentions were, they did not dare to disobey the order.

Teams organized according to A, B, C, D got on the carriages one by one, and when the carriages were full, they immediately raised their whips and set off until all the carriages were full of soldiers and left.The remaining six teams of quasi-soldiers who had no carriages to sit in followed the original plan on foot until the first batch of carriages came back to pick them up.

The formation that Li Mushu was in was the last six teams. They had no carriage to sit in and had to walk.These recruits were happy and worried, and Li Mushu could not help but grimace when he thought about walking there.

Zhang Qiang looked back and said with a smile: "Although it is comfortable to ride in a car, we will go to the battlefield as soon as we arrive in northern Xinjiang. The so-called walking is fast and death is fast. Let's walk slowly behind, and the chance of survival is great. Maybe we have already fought when we arrive. It's a victory."

"Pfft..." Li Mushu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and suddenly remembered that Zhang San told the man to make arrangements for him, so that's how it was.Li Mushu couldn't help being grateful. Although his future was uncertain, at least he knew that as long as he worked hard and cautiously, he would still have a way to survive. If he stayed in Li's house without knowing it, he wouldn't know when he was killed, so it was impossible to guard against.

"Brother Qiangzi, speak in a low voice." Zhang Xiaotian, who was walking beside Li Mushu, also shook his shoulders with laughter, he poked Zhang Qiang while holding back his laughter and reminded him.

"Don't worry, I'm sensible." Seeing that both of them laughed, Zhang Qiang didn't say anything else. It's easier to walk now, but after walking for a long time, he will be too tired to speak.

It's still quite cold in the morning when the temperature is low, but it will rise as soon as the sun rises, and it will get hotter and hotter after ten o'clock.

Li Mushu walked on this sandy path with one foot deep and one foot shallow.Looking up is the endless khaki: khaki hillside, khaki sand and mud, khaki team.Fortunately, there was no dust billowing along the way, and occasionally you could find a little green emerging from the withered vegetation under your feet, but the surrounding area still looked barren.

The military flag in front was fluttering in the wind, and everyone took off their thin cotton clothes and carried blankets behind their backs in the hot sun.Li Mushu lowered his head and followed the pace of the people in front, monotonous and tired.He didn't dare to drink too much water. It is said that this bag of water will last until the time of camping at night.

Although Li Mushu thought he had a strong will, Li Zhujun's body hadn't experienced this kind of suffering. In the hottest noon, he almost collapsed from heatstroke. Fortunately, Zhang Qiang helped him in time.Of course he wasn't the only one like this, there were also many weak ones who staggered along the way.

The leading sergeant seemed to agree with Zhang Qiang, the sooner he arrived at the northern camp, the more likely he would be sent to the battlefield.Anyway, the first few teams of recruits had already rushed to the battlefield, and the infantry behind them didn't have to rush so fast, so he didn't rush them to leave. He even found a remnant of an ancient city for them to rest and drink some water before going on the road.

There were still two ashy coarse-grained buns for lunch, and Li Mushu sat behind the weathered stone looking at the buns and sighed.The weather is so hot, how can I eat this dry steamed bun?

Stomach is hungry but mouth is dry.A person can go without food for several days, but he must never fail to drink water.There is not much water left in the water bag, and there are no green plants around here, let alone a source of water.Li Mushu didn't want to chew on this hard bun anymore.

"Xiao Mu, why don't you eat? Eat quickly, we'll be on the road again later." Zhang Qiang had finished eating one steamed bun, and was attacking the second one.Even Zhang Xiaotian ate most of the buns.

"I'm so thirsty, I can't eat."

"If you can't eat, you have to eat. After a while, you have to go until dark before stopping to camp and eat. You won't be able to support it." Zhang Qiang finished eating the steamed bun in his hand, untied the water bag, opened it carefully, and drank it a small bit.

Li Mushu nodded silently, took a sip of water before starting to chew.The whistle blowing set is about to start, and he hasn't finished eating one yet.He also gave Zhang Qiang the rest.

It was even harder in the afternoon, when Li Mushu was so hot that he was out of breath under the sun, his legs felt like they were soaked.The whole team walked very slowly, and as Zhang Qiang said, they didn't find a leeward camp to rest until it was dark.

Most of the recruits are poor people, and their hearts are simple and kind. During the march, the stronger ones will support the weaker ones.Li Mushu was one of the weak ones, and with everyone's care, he gave priority to sitting down and resting as soon as he arrived at the rest camp.And those who are physically stronger have to build tents.

Li Mushu sat down, his legs were still shaking, Zhang Xiaotian made fun of him while massaging his little feet.Li Mushu didn't refute, indeed, Zhang Xiaotian looks weak but can walk steadily to the camp, and can run errands to help build a tent, but he can't do it himself.

The so-called tent is not a modern camping tent. It is just a few long bamboo frames, covered with oilcloth, and the hem of the hanging oilcloth is pressed down with stones to keep out the wind and cover the dew.At night, everyone covered themselves with blankets and slept on the ground.
