The wilderness refugee Zhang Songtao sat on a stretcher, covered in bedding and holding a porcelain cup in his hand, inside which was filled with hot and breathless ginger soup.

He sipped in small sips, and the hot soup warmed his body and his heart.

For two years, his heart has been full of holes, but after only one or two days of joining the team, there seems to be a warm energy that makes his heart scar gradually heal.

He was especially in good spirits. The wounded were all given soju last night. They ate a hearty meal of roast horse meat, then drank beautifully, and soon fell asleep. Then, the next day, they felt that their injuries were not so serious.

At this time, Zhang Songtao was sitting not far from the fire. Several of their wounded men had a fire. He was roasting a bonfire and drinking ginger soup. He listened to a one-armed wounded man who was on the other fire beside him boasting about the war experience with the Bronze Mountain bandits.

This one-armed wounded man was considered an old man in the battle with the Bronze Mountain bandits. He was the soldier whose left arm was cut off by the bandit's sword and shield. The name Wang Zhihui was.

At one point, Wang Zhihui was a little decadent, worried that she would be abandoned by the team after being injured, leaving her wife and children with no place to live.

But the team kept carrying him from Bronze Mountain and carefully treated him all the way. Wang Zhihui was completely at ease. At this time, she even appeared and boasted about his heroic deeds.

"...The bandit rushed towards me and slashed it with one knife. I didn't frown."

"Although I only have one arm left, after my injury heals, I can still fight the bandits with my husband..."

"Okay, Brother Zhimai."

"My Wisdom Brother is mighty."

The wounded people next to them all cheered loudly, including newcomers and elderly people, different hometowns, different regions, and different accents, and they cheered at this time.

They had the same concerns as Wang Zhihui at one time, but facts were better than words. The experiences along the way made them feel at the same time. They empathized and applauded, gathered together to keep warm, motivated each other, and were deeply satisfied.

Because Wang Zhihui was experienced and seriously injured, all the injured respectfully called him Brother Zhihui.

Zhang Songtao also shouted the lottery. Brother Zhihui said what he thought and expressed his thoughts.

Being in such a team, there is no worries, so what reason is there to not fight to the death?

He also saw Dr. Li get up and start checking the injuries of the wounded.

Li Jiale was shot in the butt. Although he could hold on the spot, he was not suitable for a long walk, so he was carried by a stretcher as he turned around and limped for a long time.

But at this time he stood up and carefully inspected the injuries of the wounded.

Seeing him coming, the wounded greeted respectfully: "Doctor Li...Doctor Li...Doctor Li, you should pay attention to it yourself..."

Zhang Songtao saw that the young doctor was thin and had a crutch, but his face was full of serious and responsible expressions, and he was very happy in his heart. The husband team was full of talents.

He turned to look at another place, but it was the two young defeated soldiers.

He has always paid great attention to these two people. When the team came over, they were honest and were even used as heavy labor. Not only did they carry heavy burdens, but they also tied many packages on their bodies.

The slightly young and slender soldier even pushed one over his head. He walked for many miles in one breath, and the package on his head did not shake for a moment. It was amazing.

At this time, the two of them had a fire, and seemed to walk to the official road and talk about something.

Zhang Songtao listened carefully and their voices came faintly.

"Brother Huyan, is it true?"

"Well, brother, I'm sure there are a lot of fish in this area, and even if the water is well discharged, there are also a lot of river clams and loaches. The loach and chewing are a big replenishment..."

...

Yang He sat on the official hat chair of the rosewood, and Yan Dezheng sat down next to him. Two cups of hot tea were placed on the table in front of him, steaming hot.

Yan Dezheng took a sip from time to time, and his face showed a comfortable and satisfied expression. He was wearing a bloated cotton jacket, not like a scholar, but like an old farmer.

Although he sat with Yang He, he still looked cautious. Along the way, although he was one of the oldest seniors and the only scholars in the ranks, he still maintained a cautious and cautious attitude and respectfully in front of Yang He.

Yang He felt that if someone appreciated him, he might not be able to create a career.

For example, if you hand over some copywriting and accounting matters to him, you will feel quite relieved.

There was a separate fire pit in front of the two of them. The firewood was burning vigorously, and some charcoal inside was red and looked warm.

Yang He was roasting the fire and drinking hot tea, feeling the chill was driven away. He heard the wounded laughter and cheering, and smiled slightly. He was injured. This was the most important thing. The wounded in the team felt at ease and at ease, which made him very satisfied.

However, as the leader, he obviously could not sit like this. He immediately called Minister Yang, Qi Youxin, Han Daxia, Zhang Chugong and others.

In the current team format, Minister Yang, Han Daxia, Zhang Chugong, Luo Xianjue and others prefer to mix together.

Hu Juyi likes to play with children.

Hu Juye and Zeng Youhui are inseparable from each other. These two veterans often look at the women group, whisper and say some dirty words.

Yang He was paying attention at one time, but seeing that the two of them were lustful and had no courage, they could only get some cheaper verbally.

After all, the women in his team are not a big family who can't leave the door. They can only get over the second door, and they can smile and scold them for a while.

Especially Sun Zhaodi, one day the two of them talked about her, but she scolded her for an entire time, and she had a lot of tricks, without repetition.

In the end, Yan Dezheng came forward, and Sun Zhaodi had to give his husband face in front of others, so that's fine.

But from then on, Hu and Zeng and the others took a detour when they saw Sun Zhaodi.

There is also Chen Qiuao. He usually looks cool, but he likes to find employment with Hu. He once met two people.

Although he would shake his head and leave when the two of them talked dirty words, they soon got together, which made Yang He feel that he was actually a reluctant and sexy person.

Qi Youxin may have been a village chief and liked to show off in front of his subordinates and listen to flattery, but he was serious and responsible in his work.

These are all personalities. Even if there are some minor problems, Yang He will naturally not care about it as long as he does not miss the matter.

At this time, he called everyone and said that he wanted to go to the dike to take a look, and asked Minister Yang and Qi Youxin to stay and take charge of the team, and Han Daxia and seven soldiers followed him.

Minister Yang naturally made Yang He feel most at ease, and it was the most appropriate for him to leave his younger brother and sister to show him.

Qi Youxin patted his chest like a clue that he would look forward to the team here and would not make any mistakes.

So Han Guan'er brought horses, Luo Xianjue served Yang He diligently and rode on the horse. Han Daxia took Zeng Youyu and Chen Qiuao to explore the way forward. Hu Juye brothers, Zhang Chugong and the other two followed, and everyone followed the path down the road north.

It is indeed convenient to have a road, although it is just a bumpy path.

Earlier, I visited the river embankment of Shuanggoupu, but after getting off the official road, I was a meadow and lake swaying, sand and alkali tidal flats. The road was very difficult to walk on, and I had to go around it all the time. At this time, I just passed it straight.

Two or three miles away, and soon everyone passed through the willow forest and the remote dike, passed some grid dikes, followed the path, and reached the main dike.

Yang He rode his horse up to the high embankment, and suddenly the wind blew, and then his eyes lit up, and the vast and magnificent Yellow River appeared in front of him again.

He Ce looked out at the horse. The embankment was high, more than ten meters above the back river. It seemed as if he was standing on a small hill and had a very broad vision.

He looked around and saw the river water was about ten miles wide. There was a large plain opposite, and then there were continuous mountains and peaks. According to the information Yanghe consulted, he knew that the mountains and peaks opposite had some mineral resources that he needed.

He looked at it for a long time and found that the water of the Yellow River was too wide to see clearly.

Especially the cold wind here was strong, which made him froze in his clothes and couldn't even open his eyes.

He withdrew his gaze and looked back at the scene. The Yellow River was quite smooth in this area, but after a few miles eastward, the river turned sharply, turned a corner and flowed northward, then slowly flowing southward, in the shape of a "ji", which is Hulu Bay.

The place where the river water turns sharply is Xin'ankou, which is always the important place for river prevention.

He looked at it and seemed that there was a big dike more than ten miles eastward.

Zhang Chugong said, "My husband, that's Yao Ji. The villain once passed by, that's a big dike."

Yang He nodded. The area over there belongs to the Qingyang Society. It is obvious that he has unique skills in waterproofing.

The most important thing at present is to cross the river, which requires a large ship. Yanghe looks to the shore. There is a simple wooden trestle on the creek in front of it. Then some stone steps are built on the creek. Judging from the scale, you can dock the large ship.

But the stone steps on the pier are a little simpler, and this is actually very suitable for building a wharf. After all, the water surface is wide, the water flow is very smooth, and the river water here is quite deep.

Look at the side of the pier, there are no ships.

"Where is the ship?"

Yanghe looked to the east of the embankment, where there was Xin'ankou. There should be a shallow shop, so please go over and ask.

At this moment, Han Daxia, Hu Juye and others exclaimed.

Han Daxia said: "My husband, it seems like a boat is coming over the other side of the river."

Looking at Yang He, sure enough.

Zhang Chugong looked at him intently, and he suddenly said, "It seems to be an official ship."
