Zhong Ling straightened her clothes and gently opened the door. But what she saw in front of her surprised her.
I saw three leaders, Zhu Wu, Chen Da, and Yang Chun, moving chairs and sitting in the courtyard. Sitting with them was a man who looked like a doctor. Zhong Ling knew that that man was Li Baicao, who was famous for his medical skills in Huayin County. Behind the four men were their respective Standing were a few boys who had come with him, holding a small wisteria medicine box in their hands.
The four of them were sitting quietly in the courtyard under the sun. When they saw the door open, they quickly got up.
Zhong Ling felt that being a guest in another place was already extremely disturbing. The courtesy of the head of the house made her feel even more uncomfortable. She quickly pulled up the hem of her skirt, walked down the steps, and bowed hurriedly.
Zhu Wu and others did not dare to accept it. After returning the courtesy, Zhu Wu said urgently: "Is my brother awake? I asked Lao Li to come and give him medicine."
Zhong Ling looked at everyone's concerned eyes, glanced inside and said, "I'll keep you guys waiting, Da Lang has been awake for a long time." Then she said with great embarrassment, "I wonder if I can borrow some of your ingredients from the kitchen. use……"
When Chen Da heard this, he laughed: "Sister-in-law, why are you so polite? I will just settle here from now on. It will be more comfortable to come and go."
Yang Chun also smiled: "Sister-in-law, don't bother me. Brother has already made chicken soup and is warming it in the kitchen." After saying that, he passed it to his subordinates and asked the waiter in the kitchen to prepare it for a while before bringing it to him.
Zhong Ling saw that everyone in Shaohua Mountain was so attentive and considerate, but it was hard to do anything else. After thanking her hurriedly, she let everyone into the house.
Shi Jin felt someone talking outside and listened carefully. It was the three brothers. Knowing that they were coming in to see him, he was afraid of losing etiquette by sleeping on the bed like this, so he struggled to sit up. It happened to be the right time. Zhu Wu, who was walking into the back room, saw him and quickly grabbed him. While helping him lie down, he said anxiously: "Brother, what are you doing? Lie down quickly."
Shi Jin was always cheerful and did not want to be pretentious at this moment, so he complied with his wishes, but the host and guest were different, and asked Zhong Ling to give him a pillow and half-lying on the bed. Zhong Ling moved a few more chairs and stools to sit with everyone. .
When everyone sat down, Shi Jin cupped his fists and said, "Thanks to all the brothers for saving me yesterday! I'm really grateful for disturbing this precious land today..."
Chen Da immediately rushed to say: "They are all members of my own family, what are you talking about!"
Shi Jin smiled honestly and embarrassedly. After the smile faded, he said seriously: "Although I say so, how can Shi Jin forget the grace of saving my life!" Shi Jin couldn't help but think of the fierce battle last night. Last night After waking up, he arrived at the stronghold. Although Chen Da briefly talked about it, he was still worried. When he asked Zhu Wudao: "Brother Zhu, can you tell me in detail what happened after I fainted?" What?"
Zhu Wu looked at Shi Jin's worried look and guessed what he was worried about, so he said: "Brother, don't worry, it's not that Chen Da used this to deceive you last night to rest in peace and recuperate. It's that there is really no enmity, but an alliance." .You let Lao Li give you the medicine first, and I will talk to you slowly."
After Shi Jin heard this, he felt relieved, his heart was opened, and he was not in a hurry to ask.
Lao Li carried the medicine box to the bed and began to treat him carefully. Lao Li lifted up the quilt from Shi Jin's legs, looked at the injury, and took a small blade from the medicine box. He called someone to come over. After several times of burning on the fire, when the blade of the knife cooled down a little, the carrion on the surface was carefully gouged out, and then the powder to stop the bleeding was applied. When the flesh and blood were firm, the gun stick medicine was added to heal the wound. Finally, a bandage was wrapped around it. .
It would have been extremely unbearable to do this one by one, but Shi Jin listened to Zhu Wu in the air talking about what happened last night. Not only did he not scream like a normal person, but he never even frowned, just like those wounds.
I don't care at all if it happens to someone else.
But it was painful for Zhong Ling. She saw it in front of her eyes and felt the pain in her heart. She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, and her nails slightly pierced her palms. Chen Da and other heroes saw it in their eyes, and they all felt even more admiration in their hearts.
!
When Zhu Wu talked about forming an alliance with Shijiazhuang, exchanging knowledge and discussing major plans, Lao Li also thoroughly prepared Shi Jin. Shi Jin knew that what was going to be discussed next was very important. But there was still Li Baicao in front of him.
, I really felt something was wrong.
Just when he was thinking of excuses to leave, Lao Li had already packed up and told Zhong Ling a few words about dietary taboos before leaving. The leaders stood up and thanked Yang Chun before sending him out.
As soon as Li Baicao left, Shi Jin quietly asked Zhu Wudao: "That doctor heard a lot just now. I shouldn't let him go."
Zhu Wu saw Shi Jin's concerns and shunned the boy. After Zhong Ling looked at it, she also retreated to the outer room. When only the four brothers were left in the inner room, Zhu Wu whispered: "Brother, I don't know. In front of you
In the story, he is just a doctor, but in fact, he is a small leader of our Shaohua Mountain. He is really a secret chess placed in the county. Not only is he the place where intelligence is collected and transmitted in our county, he is also responsible for all kinds of needs of the village.
It also comes from there.”
"I see, no wonder you are so well informed!" Shi Jin sighed.
Zhu Wu felt a little proud, but he quickly calmed down and got down to business.
"Although we won the battle last night, the dog officer escaped. Not to mention that my sister-in-law shot the general to death with an arrow, and the court will definitely hold him accountable. Even the dog officer will definitely add fuel to the fire and try to kill all the agencies.
.We must deal with it carefully and prepare in advance.”
Shi Jin thought for a moment and then asked: "I wonder how many brothers there are on the mountain? How many light and dark mountain roads, how many checkpoints, how many archery towers?"
Zhu Wu saw that Shi Jin was no longer separated. Although he didn't say anything, he was obviously ready to join the gang, so he was very happy and didn't hide it. Sincerely speaking, he counted with his fingers: "Not counting the injuries caused by the handyman."
, there are only 800 brothers available now... There is only one clear path on Shaohua Mountain. The one you took when you went there that day was the secret path in the back mountain. There is only one. Among them, the clear path has a village gate pass at the mountain gate, and there is also another one in the middle of the mountain.
.On the secret passage, there is only one checkpoint in the middle of the mountain... There are two arrow towers next to each checkpoint, and one every other mile behind the mountain. There are only twenty-three up and down."
Chen Da said: "If we want to resist the arrival of thousands of officers and soldiers, it's no problem. If more people come, I'm afraid those village gate archery towers will be useless. We must arrange and consolidate them as soon as possible."
Shi Jin agreed very much after hearing this. But he saw Zhu Wu's troubled expression, so he understood. He said to Zhu Wu: "Brothers, don't worry about money. Shijiazhuang has a prosperous manpower and is equipped with carpenters and masons. There is no need to waste money."
How much money is just to strengthen your arms, so why is it so difficult? I will write a letter right now, and you will take it to Shi Sangong, and I will send hundreds of people to build the stronghold immediately. If the amount of money is not large, Shijiazhuang
It can be used at any time." After saying that, he took the paper and pen, wrote the document, and then told Yang Chun to go straight to Shijiazhuang...
Zhu Wu and Chen Da were very satisfied with this arrangement and were 100% grateful. After that, they discussed in detail the deployment of troops, deployment of personnel, and patrol and guard changes in various parts of the village. It didn't take long,
In a blink of an eye, it was noon. Zhong Ling placed food in the inner room, and everyone sat down to eat and chat.
But at this moment, Zhu Wu and Shi Jin didn't know that they actually had plans in each other's hearts.
At this moment, Yang Chun also happened to come back. Not only was the matter completed, but he also brought someone with him.
As soon as the man entered the inner room, Shi Jin and the visitor burst into tears when they saw each other.
