After settling a few things, Li Longji stayed at Zhuangzi that night.
After dinner, Li Yi went to see the four patients. The four of them still needed to be hospitalized.
Fortunately, a small dose of antibiotics was very effective against the bacteria.
The mother of the two children could speak a few words and eat meat porridge. Her throat still hurt when she swallowed, but the swelling had reduced.
When she continued to apply cold compress, Li Yi gave her throat pain and inflammation pills. It had an anesthetic effect and there was toad in it.
Previously, Li Yi did not dare to give it to the woman. After the anesthesia process, it would stimulate the capillaries and increase the swelling. After the anesthesia, it would make her feel that her breathing channel was blocked.
As a result, she would suffocate and have to be intubated.
The two children ate half a bowl of rice at night and were very happy.
The siblings had been worried about their mother's death and were not relieved when they were in East City.
Until they entered the Li Family Zhuangzi and found out that this was the Li Family Zhuangzi and the doctor who treated their mother was Li Dongzhu himself.
The siblings were relieved. It was said that Li Dongzhu could even save the dead, but it would take many years of Li Dongzhu's life.
Others were sleeping soundly, but the 12 of them were on tenterhooks, afraid of being beheaded.
Death was different from death. Hanging was death, beheading was also death.
If they could not avoid death, they would rather be hanged and leave their bodies intact.
The burly man who was not beaten by the people finally knew why he was not as strong as others. It was because of the Winged Knights.
They heard that the Winged Knights were powerful, but they did not expect them to be this powerful.
Tonight was the most difficult night for them. They could not sleep at all.
… …
"We will reach Huaiyuan in about 15 minutes. Don't stop. If you don't move forward, you will move backward. You can only relax when you reach Huaiyuan Pier."
On the Yellow River, ships moved forward against the current.
It was the beginning of April. There was no moon in the sky, and the stars were extra bright.
The sound of the ship's wheels hitting the water covered the sound of insects and beasts on both sides of the river.
The people on the ship took turns to step forward. The speed was not fast, but they kept moving forward.
The diesel lamp on the bow attracted a lot of insects. The moths that came out early hit the glass cover again and again.
The crew smelled of toilet water to prevent mosquitoes from biting them.
If he were to be stung with malaria, he would have to consume the malaria pills that he had given to the people in front of him.
Every place would give out some pills, telling people to take them quickly if they got malaria.
After sailing for a while, they saw a light ahead. It was the torch of the wharf of Huaiyuan County.
Huaiyuan County was an important military area, which was used to guard against the Turks.
The local people did not have a good life. The temperature in Chang 'an City was high now, but the local area was still cold.
Huaiyuan was located at the entrance of the Great Wall in Li Yi's Yinchuan region.
The Helan Mountain was the most famous and largest mountain in the area.
In the later years, Yue Fei wrote about this place in Man Jiang Hong's Man Jiang Hong. The Tang dynasty had not been lost yet. It belonged to him.
However, there was no Shuofang Jiedushi either. In history, it would take a few years before there would be one.
Li Yi did not need any Regional Commanders, so he probably would not have one anymore.
The Hukou Waterfall was open to navigation. Giving Jiedushi that much power?
There were many fishing boats at the Huaiyuan Wharf. Some people went fishing and went home. Some people slept on the boats with canopies.
When the people on the boats saw the torch at the Huaiyuan Wharf, the people on the wharf also saw the light on the water.
"Old man, get up quickly. What is that? Ghost fire? "
A soldier who was guarding the wharf shouted to the person who was supposed to be on night duty with him.
The wharf also functioned as a relay station. It was called a water relay station.
In case of an emergency, they would ferry to the other side of the river. The relay station on the other side of the river would send fast horses and then cross the mountains to Chang 'an.
The road was not easy to travel. It was said that there would be a relay station every twenty miles. Some places could not be found even thirty miles away.
However, there were people building relay stations now. The imperial court had spent a lot of money to build one relay station every ten miles.
The person who was called opened his eyes and rubbed them. He looked, "Boat, it's a boat. Look carefully."
"I can't see clearly. My eyes become blurry at night." The Non-commissioned Officer looked hard again. It was indeed blurry.
"Didn't the newspaper say that you lack some vitamins? You have to eat liver and carrots. The carrots were planted a few days ago. You can eat them in two months."
Old man stood up, "There are many boats. Hurry, hurry up..."
The soldier who called him up immediately took a gong and banged it with all his might.
"Hurry up and welcome them. Who told you to hit the gong?" Old man was about to cry.
As soon as the gong sounded, everyone woke up. The soldiers panicked and took out their weapons.
The person in charge of the water relay station immediately loosened the rope and was ready to ferry at any time. He did not care about whether the current was fast or not. The military situation was like fire.
The fisherman who was sleeping on the boat held a knife and stood at the bow of the boat. If there were foreign enemies, he would rush to the shore and kill them.
Either he would kill the enemy or he would be killed.
It was not that he was patriotic, but his family was on the shore. If the Turks attacked, it would be useless to kneel.
There was only life and death on both sides. There was no third choice.
If he ran away, his family would be killed and humiliated. What was the point of living?
The reason why he stayed on the boat was because there were prawn cages. There were some fish intestines in the cages. He wanted to see how many prawns there would be in the morning.
As soon as the gong sounded, the people on the shore followed suit. The people on the shore all brought out their weapons. The children were all holding spears.
The old man did not have the strength to fight. He took out a fire scythe and was prepared to set the house on fire.
The women carried their children in their arms. Their hands were holding awls and scissors. If they could not hold on any longer, they would kill their children first before committing suicide.
They would not fight with the enemy. Once they were injured and lost the ability to fight, they would be finished.
"Are they here to welcome us?" Someone on the leading boat said.
"Bullshit. This is a battle gong. Who the hell is hitting it? Why would the enemy attack us from above? Even if the enemy had a boat, they would not be so stupid. "
The leader of the boat, Ding Min, was extremely depressed. Were there any Turks who would go against the current to attack them?
To fight like that, how skilled would the Turks need to be? Weren't they afraid of setting the boats on fire?
"Hit the drum, steady yourself." Ding Min personally went to find the drum and hit it. "Dong dong dong" was a sign that they were not the enemy.
As soon as the drum sounded, the sound of the gong stopped. After some time, the sound of drums could be heard from the shore.
Ding Min hit the drum in response. Both parties had finished communicating, and the crisis had been resolved.
The old man put down his fire scythe. The woman was comforting the crying child.
The fisherman threw the scythe back and stood at the bow of the boat, "Who hit the gong? I can't beat him to death. That's a boat that came from downstream. Are you blind? "
"Are you eating liver? Old Man. "The person who hit the gong knew that he had made a huge mistake. He felt that he would be beheaded.
"It's nothing. It's a boat. It was written on the newspaper that Hukou Waterfall was on land. This is a boat from the Imperial Court.
You said that it was a surprise for everyone to welcome the first batch of boats from the Imperial Court.
At such a time, it's not suitable to kill anyone. It's inauspicious. How can there be blood when the Imperial Court is here? "
Old Man comforted the Non-commissioned Officer beside him. He was not afraid.
"Even if I am hanged, I can't do it. I am still young." The Non-commissioned Officer heard that there would be blood.
"Dead people can't do it. Give me the gong." Old Man snatched the gong from the Non-commissioned Officer's hands.
"Old Man, you …" The Non-commissioned Officer's eyes turned red and wanted to snatch the gong back.
