Chapter 198 Reinforcements
After a while, Bai Zhi whispered, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in a few days. Can the White Tiger Army eat mooncakes?"
"The White Tiger Army eats mooncakes every Mid-Autumn Festival." Chu Yunchuan tightened his arms and rested his chin on Bai Zhi's shoulder. "The moon has been getting fuller and brighter these past few days. I'm afraid the barbarians will counterattack. I'm afraid I can't spend Mid-Autumn Festival with you this year."
"is it?"
Bai Zhi turned her head and raised her lips to Chu Yunchuan's ear: "Save your life, come back to see me safely, and I will let you go this time."
A warm breath suddenly came over him, and he chuckled softly in the heat, "Yes, Boss."
Two days later, Wu County was shrouded in dark clouds again.
The number of wounded soldiers sent from Jiabingshangfang decreased significantly. Bai Zhi found out after some investigation that the barbarians had used some new witchcraft to inflict heavy damage on the White Tiger Army again.
This time, the witchcraft was so profound that the White Tiger Army was reportedly defenseless, even wearing a veil meant instant death. While the female soldiers were virtually immune to the witchcraft, their comrades were tragically murdered by the barbarians before their very eyes. Old and new grudges piled on top of each other, and the stone formation, which had been constantly operating for over a month, was already on the verge of collapse. The White Tiger Army could not retreat, so every soldier prepared for a desperate battle, gripping their silver spears and throwing their arms, ready to fight the mad barbarian with no regard for their lives.
If you fight recklessly, you will really die. The number of wounded soldiers sent here today can be said to be very few, and all of them are seriously injured. They were sent here after being barely kept alive with medicine in the army.
Doctor Jiang was busy fighting for his life with the King of Hell. Bai Zhi could not help much in saving lives. She could only follow Doctor Jiang's instructions to move firewood and boil water for disinfection, and then hurriedly help to carry the person. Her hands and body were covered in blood, and there was even a small piece of intestine hooked on the corner of her coarse cloth clothes. No one knew whose it belonged to.
The room was filled with dead air.
Visitors are not allowed in the A-Sick and Injured House, but today there are many people outside the house, and it seems that there are more than just relatives and friends of the wounded among them.
I don't know whether he is concerned about the wounded soldiers or the uncertain fate of Ningzhou.
Bai Zhi suddenly felt a little amused.
Two days ago, there was singing and dancing here, and Bai Zhi was sitting five steps away playing the piano, but today the place is filled with death again.
It makes people feel like they don’t even have the energy to curse God.
"elder sister!"
Qiaoqiao squeezed her way through the crowd outside and rushed out ecstatically. She grabbed Baizhi's arm and said excitedly, "Reinforcements are coming!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like pouring water into hot oil. Everyone who heard it was boiling with excitement. Even a wounded soldier who was barely breathing at Bai Zhi's feet suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out a bloody hand, and tightly grasped Qiaoqiao's trouser leg, saying hoarsely, "Reinforcements are coming... coming?"
Qiaoqiao casually wiped the dust and sawdust from her hands, then covered her bloody hand tightly with a smile, her voice choking with sobs. "Yes, the reinforcements came in from the east gate. I saw it with my own eyes. It was General Zhu from Fuzhou who brought her army! Do you know General Zhu? General Zhu Daoxian, she's very powerful!"
Bai Zhi asked anxiously, "Have you seen Qiao Wanwan?"
"That's not the case... The reinforcements were all wearing armor and large helmets, making it impossible to tell who was who. Only General Zhu wasn't wearing a helmet, and her hair was combed high, so it looked so beautiful in the wind! She kept shouting as she walked—"I'm here, barbarians, die!" At this point, Qiaoqiao frowned, confused. "Sister, is this how General Zhu usually behaves?"
Bai Zhi: "..."
It should not be.
Bai Zhi didn't have the chance to ask about the specifics, as Qiao Qiao was surrounded by the wounded soldiers who had limped over from the ground. They were all talking at once, and unusually, they ignored Doctor Jiang's shouts of "don't move." Even the male soldiers on the other side of the screen leaned over to listen carefully to the good news.
Everyone's face was filled with joy at having survived the disaster, except Bai Zhi.
The arrival of reinforcements brought hope, but she had been here for two months and knew it would be a bitter and brutal battle. Qiao Wanwan was most likely among the reinforcements, and Bai Zhi didn't want to live in fear every day wondering if she had died for her country.
But Qiao Wanwan is not someone who can avoid danger and seek good fortune.
At this point, her loved ones, closest relatives, and close friends have all been involved in this war.
Bai Zhi then sighed deeply and cursed the barbarians in the distance with all her heart, "A bunch of unlucky people, fighting your uncle's war..."
In the evening, when Bai Zhi had just taken a break from a busy day, a loud and powerful shout suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Bai Zhi!"
Bai Zhi heard the familiar clear voice and turned her head suddenly. Sure enough, she saw Qiao Wanwan. She was wearing a coarse cloth dress and was waving at her at the door: "Bai Zhi! Bai Zhi!"
Doctor Jiang, who was writing a medical book, threw a glare at the door: "Where did you come from! Stop yelling here!"
Bai Zhi hurriedly explained a few words to Doctor Jiang, then trotted over to Qiao Wanwan. Qiao Wanwan was stunned by Doctor Jiang's scolding. She narrowed her eyes and asked Bai Zhi indignantly, "Who is this guy? Why is he so arrogant?"
Several soldiers nearby turned their heads and looked at Qiao Wanwan with horror.
"Grandfather, keep your voice down." Bai Zhi slapped her mouth and dragged Qiao Wanwan half a mile away before she breathed a sigh of relief. "That's Doctor Jiang Zhiwei. You better keep your mouth shut."
Qiao Wanwan glanced at her sideways: "Why, do you have something on her?"
Bai Zhi said in disbelief, "Haven't you heard of Jiang Zhiwei, the White Tiger Army's savior? Even your own father, General Qiao, has to respect her."
"Oh, that's quite impressive." Qiao Wanwan didn't comment. She then looked up and down at Bai Zhi, who was covered in blood, and curled her lips. "The people in the city know that the Qizhou army has entered the city. I even saw Qiaoqiao waving at me, but you are so lazy that you didn't even come to see me."
"I'd like to go find you." Bai Zhi wiped the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand. "The White Tiger Army has suffered losses these past two days. You saw it just now. The room is full of wounded soldiers. I can't spare any time."
"Oh, you are the one who saves the world, Doctor Bai."
"What kind of doctor is that? He's just a handyman. Didn't you read the letter I wrote to you?"
"You said that thing was addressed to me? It was addressed to Aunt Lin, and it started with 'Mother, I hope you're reading this letter with me.' Only the last sentence mentioned me, and you asked Aunt Lin to ask me to read the letter with you. Are you kidding me?"
"Don't you have any experience? It's wartime now, paper is more valuable than gold..."
As they chatted, they found a large, clean tree stump and squeezed in to sit down. Qiao Wanwan nudged Bai Zhi and said happily, "I never thought you would rush to the sick and injured workshop to do good deeds."
“This piece is for three meals a day.”
Qiao Wanwan glared: "What?"
