Strange Tale of Qingluan

The four people were very flustered, Ye Shuangshuang immediately drew out his sword, holding the hilt tightly, bravely stood in front of everyone, as a front shield, trying to protect Su Zhongming, Fei'er and Yitian.

A tense atmosphere spread instantly in this mountain field, oppressing the heart and breathing, and all four pairs of eyes were fixed on the approaching figure in front of him.

After the figure approached, it turned out to be just a commoner dressed in dark blue coarse cloth, wearing old straw sandals, and carrying an old bamboo basket on his back.When the four of them saw it, they couldn't help being slightly stunned, and the tense breath dissipated immediately.

The visitor turned out to be from Yuxia Town. After seeing the white blade, he didn't dare to go forward, and asked slightly nervously, "You...are you from the branch camped on the mountain?"

Ye Shuangshuang was a little vigilant, and hurriedly asked: "You... who are you? What are you asking about our identities?"

The man replied: "My family lives in Yuxia Town. I saw a tribe go up the mountain early yesterday morning. I heard that it was the tribe of the former King Wen. Now the Wen State Army is attacking the mountain. I secretly came up the mountain to help busy."

Ye Shuangshuang was very curious: "You want to help the troops of the former King Wen? Why do you want to help?"

The man replied: "To tell you the truth, since the change of owner, not only has salt become more expensive than rice, but we people have been wronged, and we can't find a just way. If the former King Wen can regain the throne, we people will be happy too." .”

Ye Shuangshuang glanced back at Su Zhongming, then lowered the white blade, retracted it into the sheath, and asked, "How can I help you alone?"

The man put the basket off his back, put it on the ground in front of him, and replied, "My family grows peppers. If the peppers get in your eyes, they will be so hot that you can't open your eyes. Maybe it will be useful to you."

When Su Zhongming heard that it was pepper, he was a little happy and patted Yitian on the shoulder. Seeing that Yitian turned his head, he motioned to Yitian to take a look at the basket.

Yitian stepped forward, reached into the basket with one hand, grabbed a handful of dried chili peppers, and shouted back, "It's really chili peppers! And there are so many!"

After hearing this, Ye Shuangshuang quickly stepped forward, picked up the basket, carried it on one shoulder, and said, "Uncle! Thank you! When the war is over, I will return the basket to you!"

The man didn't say anything, just cupped his hands with a smile, turned around and left according to the way he came.

Ye Shuangshuang returned to Su Zhongming's side, and asked Su Zhongming for instructions: "City Lord, how do we use these dried peppers?"

Su Zhongming immediately grabbed Yitian's hand and began to write on the palm.

Yitian looked down and read out slowly: "It's really good luck. Let's grind the peppers, boil them in hot water, and then splash them on the faces of the enemy soldiers."

Ye Shuangshuang said briskly: "Then let's go back quickly!" After saying that, he took a step forward, but suddenly thought of something, so he took another step back, untied the rope, and untied Su Zhongming.

As soon as the four returned to the barracks together, they met Li Xuan in armor.

Seeing the four of them come back, Li Xuan blurted out: "What are you doing back?! It's dangerous here!"

Ye Shuangshuang didn't have time to explain, just said: "We need a safe place to boil chili water!"

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment: "What are you cooking chili water for?"

Su Zhongming quickly grabbed Yitian's hand and began to write on the palm.

Yitian looked down and read out as usual: "Cook...you will know when it is cooked."

Li Xuan glanced at the basket on Ye Shuang's shoulders, then ordered the soldiers to arrange dry firewood, water and pots, and then led the troops to the entrance and exit of the barracks to fight.

The center of the barracks was still a safe place, so a few people quickly built a stove there, stuffed dry wood, put a pot full of water, and lit the fire to boil the water. The fire was burning blazingly under the pot. The figures of soldiers running past him patiently boiled water and chopped dried peppers.

As they wished, the water boiled smoothly in a short while, and several people poured the chili flakes into the pot and stirred for a while.But the smell of chili was suffocating, and several people were choked immediately, and they continued to boil chili water while covering their mouths and noses in pain.

Su Zhongming knew that this would not work, so he simply took off his clothes, tore pieces of cloth from the sleeves, distributed them to everyone, covered his mouth and nose, and relieved the choking situation.

After only five cups of tea, the chili water was boiled. It looked like red clouds and was very rich. Several people carefully poured the chili water from the pot into wooden barrels. The barrel hurried to the entrance and exit of the barracks, avoiding a drop of pepper water along the way.

At this time, the entrances and exits of the barracks were very chaotic, and the soldiers were using their long halberds to resist the Wen Guojun who wanted to enter the barracks.

I don't know who yelled 'Get out of the way', the voice was loud, and then spoonfuls of pepper water flew out, hitting the face of the general Wen Guo, and then there were screams again and again, Wen Wen, who was about to rush into the barracks desperately The national soldiers dropped their weapons one after another, covered their faces and rolled crazily on the ground.

The soldiers trampled on the rolling figures on the ground relentlessly, chasing after the fleeing Wen Guo soldiers.

Li Xuan was overjoyed when he saw this, and led those little soldiers splashing chili water to the main battlefield. It was a shockingly miserable scene, but the battle was not over yet, and the soldiers were still fighting desperately at the foot of the mountain.

At three poles high in the sun, the fog in the mountains dissipated, and only two hundred Wen soldiers fled away throwing their flags.

In this battle, all the dried peppers in the basket were used up.

Before breakfast, the soldiers dragged the corpses to the foot of the mountain, piled them high, piled them with many dead branches and leaves, sprinkled some fish oil on them, and lit them on fire. There is only a place of silver sand left, which rises with the wind and falls among the weeds.

After dinner, Li Xuan raised the curtain of the military tent and stepped into the military tent. Su Zhongming was enjoying his breakfast, and he took a big bite of steamed buns, which was delicious.

Li Xuan asked, "Where did you get those peppers?"

Hearing this, Su Zhongming only glanced at him, smiled slightly, did not stop, and was still chewing.

Ye Shuangshuang replied for Su Zhongming: "Let me say it. When the four of us went down the mountain, we met an uncle from Yuxia Town. Those peppers were grown by his family."

"Yanxia Town?" Li Xuan turned around and left the military tent after finishing his sentence.

Seeing this, Ye Shuangshuang was very confused. Su Zhongming was stunned for a moment, then freed his right hand, picked up the brush, wrote a few words on the paper, and handed it to Ye Shuangshuang.

"Could he be going to Yanxia Town to buy peppers..." Ye Shuangshuang took the paper, read it lightly, and then asked, "City Master, I don't read much, what does 'purchase' mean?"

Su Zhongming hurriedly opened his lips and made lip language.

Ye Shuangshuang took a closer look and guessed, "Buy?"

Su Zhongming nodded.

Ye Shuangshuang frowned slightly: "Our military camp can't even do anything about the military salary. How can we buy this pepper?"

yes!Our barracks are running out of water. When we are not fighting, we are thinking about how to save food every day. How can we buy those peppers?

Su Zhongming couldn't help thinking.

In the afternoon, all the soldiers were repairing weapons and armor in the barracks, only Su Zhongming was the most bored, wandering in the military tent.

Suddenly the curtain of the military tent moved, and Ye Shuangshuang lifted the curtain and came in, smiling, "City Lord! Miss Yan is here!"

After saying that, Yan Ying lifted the curtain, stepped into the military tent, came to Su Zhongming, and asked, "How is the current situation, my lord?"

Su Zhongming shook his head lightly.

Yan Ying couldn't help regretting: "If the medicine my brother gave the lord came from the Yan family castle, it would be easy to find an antidote, but..." Then she blamed herself, "It's only because I let my brother go that day, and the lord was wronged. "

Su Zhongming quickly wrote a sentence on the paper, then raised the paper with his hand.

——Perhaps Yan Tao didn't have an antidote?That kind of medicine may come from Mu Feng Society, your brother Yan Tao must have been used by Mu Feng Society.

Yan Ying glanced at the ink on the paper, and replied: "My brother is very strong, but I didn't expect him to abandon the light and turn to the dark."

Su Zhongming wrote on the paper: The next time we meet him again, let's lock him up for ten or twenty years. During this period, he will be constantly educated. If he doesn't change, he won't be fed. Let's see if he changes.

After watching it, Yan Ying couldn't help being amused.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the military tent, like thunder, which startled everyone.

Ye Shuangshuang hurriedly blurted out: "What happened? It's fine, why is there thunder?"

Su Zhongming slammed the table, startling Yan Ying and Ye Shuangshuang again.

Yan Ying was stunned: "My lord?"

Su Zhongming hurriedly erected the paper on which he had written.

— not Ray!It's a blast!Something exploded in the barracks!

Immediately, he put down the paper, took the two of them out of the military tent, and followed the direction of the crowd.

Su Zhongming didn't stop until he reached the place where the crowd gathered. Seeing him coming, the soldiers gave way one after another. Su Zhongming went to the front to take a look, but he saw Fei'er's medicine house.

This is just an ordinary medicine house, how could it explode?

Su Zhongming looked at the half-collapsed hut, thinking secretly.

At this time, Fei'er came back, seeing the hut in such a mess, she was dumbfounded and stood up straight.

Ye Shuangshuang quickly asked her, "Where did you go?"

Knowing that she had caused trouble, Fei'er started to panic, and hurriedly explained: "I just went to deliver medicine to people, and I only left for a while, I didn't expect this house to be..."

Without saying a word, Su Zhongming walked into the half-collapsed house, trying to find the cause of the explosion.Fei'er hurriedly followed in, seeing Su Zhongming looking around, she couldn't help feeling guilty, she opened her lips to persuade: "City Master, the house has collapsed, it's better not to stay inside."

Su Zhongming insisted on inspecting, sniffed the smell in the room, and found that what permeated the room was not the smell of medicine, but a pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, so he couldn't help covering his nostrils with a finger horizontally.

Afterwards, Su Zhongming left the hut, and Fei'er followed, but she was very flustered.

Su Zhongming turned his head, waved his hand, and signaled Fei'er to follow, Fei'er could only lower his head slightly, and followed Su Zhongming, Ye Shuangshuang, and Yan Ying back to the military tent.

Yan Ying was the first to ask, "Master, what happened to the explosion just now?"

Su Zhongming walked to the table with his hands behind his back, sat down immediately, and wanted to write, but found that there was no paper on the table, so he waved to Ye Shuangshuang to come forward.

Ye Shuangshuang obeyed the order, hurried forward, stretched out a hand, rolled up the cuff, palm facing up.

Su Zhongming slowly wrote on her palm.

Ye Shuangshuang said: "I was in the medicine hut just now, and I smelled a strange smell." She was stunned, then looked back at Fei'er.

The three pairs of eyes all cast on Fei'er in unison, making Fei'er anxious, and blurted out: "I...I didn't do anything! City Lord! I really didn't do anything!"

Su Zhongming calmed down, and wrote on Ye Shuangshuang's palm again.

Ye Shuangshuang said: "If you admit it honestly, you will be spared a beating." Then he begged, "City Lord! Don't!"

Fei'er was about to cry from fright, and hurriedly said: "I really didn't do anything! I just, I just, imitated my master, secretly concocting alchemy when I have time..."

Su Zhongming became serious when he heard this, and continued to write on Ye Shuangshuang's palm.

Ye Shuangshuang read: "As a military doctor, you should keep yourself safe. What kind of pill do you make?"

Fei'er hurriedly knelt down and begged: "It's just a very ordinary Dan. I was wrong. I won't dare to neglect my duties in the future. Please don't punish the city lord! Please spare Fei'er!"

"What did you put in the stove?"

"I put whatever Master put in at that time, just three things," Fei'er said, popping out three fingers one by one, "Saltpeter, coke and..."

"Wait, is that sulfur?"

"Hey? How did the city lord know?"

Potassium nitrate, charcoal, sulfur, mixed together, once it encounters a fire, isn't it... With the degree of damage to the house, only its power can do it. Fortunately, this girl was careful in the first experiment and did not dare to put these There are too many things, otherwise, not to mention that the room is gone, I am afraid that even our entire army will be blasted to the sky!

Su Zhongming thought in his heart, and then he showed a smile, and wrote again on the palms of Ye Shuang's hands.

Ye Shuangshuang said: "Get up, I won't punish you, and thanks to you, I remembered the gang medicine."

After being stunned for a while, Yan Ying and Fei'er said in unison: "Black man medicine?!"

The author has something to say:
