Chapter 396 The second cousin is back

Chapter 396 The second cousin is back

Many people came into my yard, and some of them carried someone into a vacant side room.

Ying Bao ran over and took a look, and saw a skinny young man lying on the kang with a sallow face.

"Second cousin?" Yingbao almost didn't recognize that this thin young man was actually Jiang Quan, who had been away from home for two or three years.

Mrs. Zhou, the eldest uncle, cried uncontrollably. When she saw Yingbao coming, she immediately said, "Yingbao, please save your second brother quickly."

Yingbao checked his second cousin and found that there was an arrow wound on his shoulder. The wound was red, swollen and ulcerated, and there were maggots growing on it.

Fortunately, there were no injuries elsewhere, which is a blessing among misfortunes.

Yingbao ran back to the room and brought the medicine box, asked the others to go out, and asked the aunt to boil some water and bring it back.

The aunt didn't hesitate, and went to boil water with Chun Niang, and scalded some cloth towels and a basin.

Yingbao asked her first cousin and Erni to stay in the house to help. She took out a surgical knife to remove carrion and maggots from her second cousin.

Marijuana flies in the wild are very scary. They come to you by smelling the smell. It only takes a dozen breaths from laying an egg to hatching, and only half a moment from larvae to fingertip-long maggots. If no one intervenes, they can survive. Within an hour, a large living person was penetrated, and finally the person was eaten from the inside out.

The second cousin is still intact. His companions must have been taking care of him and helping him remove the maggots.

Ying Bao poured liquor on the wound, and her second cousin roared in pain.

Jiang Cheng and Er Ni held back tears and held him down, preventing him from moving.

Yingbao took out a bottle of medicine and poured it into her second cousin's mouth. After thinking about it, she gave him some Ma Fei Powder.

Afterwards, I also applied some numbing powder on the wound, and then I started to take action.

After she finished treating her second cousin's wound, she sprinkled some anti-hemostatic and anti-inflammatory powder, and then applied it with Wudingzhi.

Then he took out a white cotton cloth and bandaged his entire shoulder, and then asked the aunt to help him wipe his hands, face and feet.

The second cousin's boots were almost stuck to his feet, and when he took them off, a strong stench hit his face, almost killing Jiang Cheng.

Yingbao handed some medicinal powder to her eldest uncle, then went back to the house to deal with the package of Wudingzhi and prepare the medicine for her second cousin and her family.

In this situation, Xiao Chengjun might be able to bring someone to call him at some point. He would have to prepare a lot of medicine and give it to his father and the others to take with them.

Jiang Sanlang heard that his second nephew had escaped home with a group of villagers who were on an expedition and was seriously injured, so he quickly ran back to inquire about the situation.

Not all the villagers who went on the last expedition have returned. Many have died in the battle, and some are missing.

When some villagers learned about the death of their family members, they burst into tears and cursed the Emperor of Guizhou while weeping.

That night, Jiang Quan woke up and saw his parents and relatives surrounding him, crying with joy.

After he fell into coma, several fellow villagers took turns carrying him back, and he kept this kindness in mind.

Of course, he had saved them on the battlefield. The medicine his little cousin gave him was basically used to treat the injured fellow villagers, but a few of them were seriously injured and all died unfortunately.

"Erquan, tell us what happened over there in Daqian? How did you come back?" Uncle Jiang kept asking regardless of his son's recent awakening.

Although Wang Dashan and several other people also told about their situation, Uncle Jiang still wanted to confirm it from his son.

Jiang Quan: "We came here with the Xiao family's army. We didn't know they were coming here. One day I accidentally heard the generals talking about the route to attack the Xin Dynasty in the tent, and then I learned that they were going to break through Qinchuan County and besiege them. Jiankang. As soon as I thought something was wrong, I quickly consulted with Wang Dashan and others and went home to report to you."

This large group of troops is not just passing by. They need a large amount of food and grass supplies, and it is not unusual to loot the people along the way.

Jiang Quan was worried about the safety of his family members, so he immediately waited for an opportunity to escape from the team with several fellow villagers.

A few people did not dare to take the official road, so they went into the old forest and climbed over the mountains and ridges to get home.

As a result, they encountered a group of chasing men somewhere. They had no choice but to jump into the river and float away. Unfortunately, Jiang Quan was hit by an arrow in the shoulder.

In the end, they finally escaped. Jiang Quan's wound became infected due to water immersion, and most of the medicine in his arms was soaked in water and wasted.

Jiang Quan thought he would definitely die this time, but fortunately they returned home safely and he did not die.

"Those people are planning to break through from Qinchuan County?" Jiang Sanlang immediately thought of Cao Shen and others.

They are confident, probably just waiting for the arrival of the Guizhou army.

Jiang Sanlang looked solemn and said to his elder brother: "The situation is not good. No matter how we build the village, we probably won't be able to withstand the imperial army."

Jiang Dalang thought so too.

"What do you think we should do?" He looked at his third brother worriedly.

Jiang Sanlang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "We have to quickly notify the Xinchao side and ask them to send troops to intercept. No, it is not to intercept, but to capture Qinchuan County first."

Now that the county seat is occupied by Cao Shen and others, as soon as the Da Qian army comes, the county seat will be given to Da Qian for free.

If the new dynasty wants to conquer it in the future, I don’t know how much effort it will take.

My family and Cao Shen are already mortal enemies. Once this place is taken away by Da Qian, the fate of the Jiang family can be imagined.

Therefore, he must not let the Guizhou army join Cao Shen.

Jiang Dalang nodded: "Let's see where Da Qian's team is first, so that we can deal with it easily."

If there are still a few days to go, then they don't have to guard the village. It's more important to escape with the villagers quickly.

"Okay, I'll let Chen Zhu and Wang Dashan go find out first." Chen Zhu had been in the army, and Wang Dashan had been a scout and had just escaped from the Guizhou army, so he had a certain understanding of their marching route.

So, the two brothers acted separately. Uncle Jiang led two villagers from the south side of the south slope and ran to other counties to report to the New Dynasty army. Jiang Sanlang went to inform Sun Lizheng and others, so that the whole village should be ready to flee to avoid war.

As for Chen Zhu and Wang Dashan, they took a few clever young men and rode on horseback to explore the movements of the Guizhou army.

During this period, Cao Shen retreated to the county seat and never appeared again.

It is estimated that because Chuanhe Town is too far away from the county seat, he did not dare to act rashly after suffering a loss.

However, several towns around the county were attacked by him, causing many people to drag their families and families to Chuanhe Town.

For a time, people's hearts were unstable, and many villagers could not farm with peace of mind.

Seeing that the wheat and millet are ripe and the summer harvest is about to begin, everyone is very anxious, fearing that there will be a military disaster during the summer harvest.

Yingbao finally prepared all the medicines on hand, so she asked the village children to help her pick fresh herbs, and she would buy them by the pound according to the situation.

Then she came to the entrance of the stone cave again, lit the torch, and walked slowly inside.

This dark corridor was very long. She burned a torch before arriving at the stone door.

I still used my spear to draw a circle around the entire edge of the stone door to remove the gravel, and then pushed it hard, but it didn't move.

Wiping off the dust and moss on the door, Ying Bao carefully identified whether there were runes or the like, and she found a huge pattern surrounding the entire stone door.
