    Chongxi 18 in the sixties

    Tao Yuan sat on the bed in a daze, when He Liyuan water came in, helped him take off his shoes and socks, and put his feet in the water.

    "How is your investigation? When did you start fighting?" Tao Yuan asked suddenly.

    "You have to block them in order to fight. Now you can't even meet them. It's hard to fight." He Liyuan said, "Those bandits are very cunning and are more familiar with the environment here than we are. They have great abilities to escape and hide. ."

    Tao Yuan nodded, "They grew up in this mountain, and naturally they know better how to rely on these mountains to protect themselves."

    "But this is only temporary. Now all exits are blocked. It is basically impossible for them to leave this mountainous area. Now it is just consuming time with us."

    "But those of them can survive in the mountains, but they will not live very well." Tao Yuan said, "the cultural relics hidden by them must be found, so they cannot be allowed It's all dead, you have to stay alive. This task is really not easy."

    "Our most important task is to capture the bandit leader Sanjiao alive. The people under him may not know the location of the Tibetan cultural relics, but he must know." These words are not confidential, and it is estimated that the Sanjiao King himself I've guessed it, so He Liyuan told Tao Yuan it's okay.

    "The king of the pangolin?" Tao Yuan said, "Does it mean the king of the pangolin?"

    "Yes, I heard from the militia that that person can walk through this mountain at will, nothing can stop him. As long as he enters the mountain, others will never want to find him. And this person is not only fierce and rude, but also very resistant, even if he is It is not easy to catch him and ask something out of his mouth."

    "Really?" Tao Yuan smiled and said, "If you can catch him alive and let me meet him, I can't keep it for ten minutes. I will let him say all the things he doesn't want to say."

    "Really?" He Liyuan looked up at him.

    "I can not only prepare medicines for saving people, but also medicines for torture, but also medicines that make people delirious. There are many poisonous insects and weeds here, which is more conducive for me to obtain local materials."

    He Liyuan helped him dry his feet and put them on the bed. Then he took off his shoes and socks and put his feet in the water. "There you prepare the medicine first, and I will catch him as soon as possible."

    "You don't need to come as soon as possible. It's better for you to come in steadily. Don't be too hasty, and focus on your own safety." Tao Yuan pulled the quilt over and then seriously told him.

    "I know, I will be careful, I have to live with you for a lifetime, I can't bear to die." He Liyuan said.

    "You are not allowed to say that in the future." Tao Yuan is not happy. They are already high-risk occupations as soldiers, and he doesn't like to hear him say that.

    "Okay, I won't say anything in the future." Seeing that he was upset, He Liyuan quickly coaxed him.

    After He Liyuan went to bed, Tao Yuan nestled in his arms and soon passed away.

    When he fell asleep in the middle of the night, the system in Tao Yuan's brain suddenly rang. Only when his life was in danger, the system would make a sound to remind him. Tao Yuan opened his eyes abruptly, and then smelled a scent. If it smells like nothing, it is mixed with the smell of plants at night, which is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish.

    "Brother Liyuan, get up!" Tao Yuan pushed He Liyuan.

    "What's wrong?!" He Liyuan immediately sat up.

    "There is a smoke! Let the soldiers get up, put a bucket of water in each camp, and I will go with the medicine immediately. Remember not to light the lights, as long as the light is light at night, you may be spotted, and you must act quietly. "Tao Yuan got out of bed, walked to the wooden box he brought, fumbled for the key to open it, and rummaged in it.

    As soon as Tao Yuan finished speaking, He Liyuan rushed out immediately. He went to the nearest camp to wake up the soldiers, according to Tao Yuan's words, arranged tasks for them, and then asked them to wake up the soldiers in other camps.

    Tao Yuan took the medicine bottle and ran out cautiously. After running outside, his vision became clearer. By the moonlight, at least his eyes were not completely black.

    "Brother Liyuan?" Tao Yuan whispered, standing outside the camp.

    "Here, come in." He Liyuan opened the tent curtain and reached out to take Tao Yuan in.

    "Is the water ready?" Tao Yuan asked.

    "Get ready sister-in-law." A soldier came in from outside carrying water.

    "Come here." Tao Yuan heard the sound of the bucket lowering, fumbled for a moment, poured the medicine in, and said, "Wet your towel in the water, then cover your mouth and nose. Those bandits will definitely come at night. , Hurry up and replace the soldiers on duty at night. They are outside, and they must have inhaled a lot of smoke!"

    Tao is willing to put a few bottles of medicine in He Liyuan's hands, "Let the soldiers in the other camps follow suit, and the Wolf Squadron, let people wake them up."

    "I'm going! Give me the medicine, captain." Wang Songming had tied a wet towel, walked quickly to He Liyuan's side, and reached out to him.

    He Liyuan put the medicine in his hand, and he rushed out immediately.

    He Liyuan put the other bottles of medicine in the hands of the second platoon leader and asked him to take other camps, and then he took Tao Yuan back to his camp.

    "You just stay here. Don't be afraid if you hear the gunshots for a while. I am here and you will never let those bandits rush up." He Liyuan put Tao Yuan on the bed before turning and leaving.

    "Wait a minute!" Tao Yuan grabbed him and gave him another bottle of medicine. "If any soldiers feel weak, let them smell this. Also, you must be careful yourself."

    "I see." He Liyuan shook his hand vigorously, then quickly left with the medicine bottle.

    Tao Yuan put his legs on the bed, sat with the quilt, took out his gun from the clothes next to him, and put it beside his legs. Just in case, military doctors also have guns.

    About half an hour later, Tao Yuan heard the first shot, as if it had cut a hole in a quiet night, and then started the sound of a rain of bullets.

    Tao Yuan hugged his body and closed his eyes carefully to identify how far away the bandits were. Amid the constant sound of gunfire, there were occasional grenade explosions. The grenade must be thrown by the soldiers. No matter how strong the bandits are, it is impossible to throw the grenade up.

    About two hours later, the gunfire gradually stopped, and the sky outside was also darkened. The sky began to light up, and the bandits must have been evacuated. They must have thought that even if they awakened the soldiers, but the smoke kept drifting towards them, they would definitely be able to attack them easily. And they are familiar with the forest environment and fighting at night is more beneficial to them. But they did not expect that those soldiers could hold on for so long, but they would suffer serious casualties.

    After a little past, a little orange sun appeared on the horizon.

    Tao Yuan put on his coat and got out of bed, put the gun in the holster, walked to the door of the camp, raised the curtain and looked out.

    There were soldiers running outside, Tao Yuan walked out, and then looked for He Liyuan's figure.

    Seeing He Liyuan was standing there looking down the mountain, Tao Yuan walked to him and asked, "Are any soldiers injured?"

    "No." He Liyuan turned his head and looked at him and said, "They must have killed a lot of people. They attacked last night. It seems that they felt very sure, so a lot of people came. They must be trying to get us in one pot. Fortunately, you found out in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

    "This mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are only two roads that can go up the mountain. Even if it is more advantageous for them at night, as long as the soldiers are awake, they will not be able to attack."

    "Go to bed for a while, the fight is over, and the day is dawn. It is impossible for those bandits to come and die now." He Liyuan looked at him and said.

    Tao Yuan shook his head, "I can't sleep. After the dawn, I want to gather some herbs. With this lesson, I think that I should prepare more medicine and bring each soldier by my side, ready to be prepared just in case. Just like last night, if every soldier inhales a lot of smoke, I will have a bottle of medicine that can make them recover quickly, even if it is too late, it will take a lot of time."

    He Liyuan thinks about it and thinks so. Those bandits have lived in the mountains for many years and are more familiar with the herbs than they are. They can use them at will, and they need to make more preparations.

    "The soldiers will go down and search for a while to see if there are any bandits who are lying in ambush because they cannot go because they are injured. You should go to rest first, or wait until tomorrow." He Liyuan said.

    Tao Yuan thought for a while, and felt that it was really not good to gather medicine today, so he agreed, "Then I will lie down for a while."

    "Go." Knowing that he hadn't slept all night, He Liyuan touched his face distressedly.

    Tao Yuan knew that he would definitely not be able to fall asleep, but lying on the bed for a while is also good for rejuvenation. By the way, think about how to prevent those bandits from using smoke again.

    The sun has risen high, and a group of soldiers who went down to investigate have returned.

    Wang Songming and the others were sitting under the big tree, still having lingering fears.

    Ren Xiuyang said with a sullen face, "Last night was really thrilling. Since I became a soldier, I have never been so scared of the future."

    "I was almost caught up in the pot by those bandits. Can you not be afraid? Fortunately, my sister-in-law found out in time. Otherwise, when the bandits touched us, we were all caught in the smoke again, so we could only let them kill." Wang Songming was also afraid of it. He felt that Tao Yuan saved him again and all the soldiers once.

    "This mountain is not too short, how did they get the smoke up?" Ren Xiuyang was a little puzzled.

    Gu Yu looked at the opposite mountain and said, "Using the direction of the wind, people who live in the mountain all year round will definitely be able to identify the position of the wind. A particularly powerful drug is burned on the opposite mountain. When the wind blows over, Bring the smoke here too."

    "Then what to do? If there is another wind, we can't tell it! My sister-in-law also has to go to bed at night. What if he doesn't notice it next time?"

    There are many kinds of plants growing on these mountains, and the fragrance of the plants becomes stronger at night. The smoke is also sweet and fragrant, and he can't tell it.

    "My sister-in-law should have a way. He is so good at dispensing medicine. After this experience, he will definitely make some preparations." Gu Yu said. "Those bandits have learned this lesson. It is also possible to use the same method again. Has become very small."

    ………………

    Two days later.

    Wang Songming and some soldiers walked out of the temple wearing masks, with their heads high and their chests high, with a special air.

    Ren Xiuyang and Gu Yu, as well as some other soldiers of the Wolf Squadron, stood outside watching them.

    "How is it, does it look good?" Wang Songming said, pulling the mask on his face.

    "It's so good! I saw such a good-looking mask for the first time. Compared with the big white mask of cotton, this mask is much more beautiful!" Ren Xiuyang said and went to take off his mask.

    "What?!" Wang Songming slapped his hand and said, "This is mine."

    "I know it's yours, I'll just take a look, don't be stingy you, can't you let me see it?" Ren Xiuyang looked like you wouldn't let me see it, and I would grab it.

    "Okay, go and see, snacks, don't get me dirty." Wang Songming had no choice but to take off the mask and pass it to him.

    The soldiers gathered around and looked at the mask on Ren Xiuyang's hand.

    "It's really beautiful. It's the first time I saw a camouflage mask, and it's still three-dimensional."

    "A mask of this shape will definitely not press the nose."

    "Good-looking is good-looking, but half of my face is tightly covered. I don't know how breathable is it?"

    Wang Songming said, "Although the cover is tight, the air permeability is much better than that of the white mask, and it is not difficult to breathe. Moreover, there are medicine bags in it. Our sister-in-law said, these medicine bags are more effective than gas masks. Even if the bandits release poison, We are not afraid anymore. But these medicine packs will be changed every few days."

    Ren Xiuyang touched the mask and he did feel the interlayer, but the interlayer was not thick and felt very soft.

    "Soldiers who watch the night at night, wearing this mask, are not afraid of getting lost in smoke and poisonous gas. As long as they don't get lost in smoke, the bandits will not be able to touch them." Wang Songming said.

    "Then do we have it?" Ren Xiuyang hurriedly asked, "We also have to watch the night!"

    "Why are you in a hurry? You won't be missing, my sister-in-law is still doing it, it will take some time, right?" Wang Songming said.

    "I'll see how my sister-in-law is doing, do you need help." Ren Xiuyang threw the mask back to Wang Songming and ran into the temple.

    "Oh, you!" Wang Songming hurriedly caught the mask, trying to catch him but didn't catch him, so he could only stop other soldiers who wanted to go in and said, "Don't you all go in, it would be bad to disturb other doctors and nurses. Let you platoon leader. Just go in and have a look, don’t all follow up."

    After Wang Songming finished speaking, he and Gu Yu also walked in. He wanted to go in and watch Ren Xiuyang not make trouble.

    Tao Yuan is teaching the nurses to sew masks. If all soldiers have a mask, he must be too busy alone. The method of making masks is not difficult, and the nurses are skillful and quickly learned. Tao Yuan also prepares medicine for making medicine packs. The demand for this is much larger than that of masks, and he needs to change it every two or three days.

    After Tao Yuan prepared the medicine, he asked the doctors to help shape it into the shape of the medicine packet. The medicine packet should not be too thick, or it will not be easy to breathe, and it should not be too thin, otherwise the effect will be bad if it encounters strong smoke.

    Tao Yuan raised his head to see them walking in, but his movements did not stop, "Is there something wrong?"

    "Nothing." Ren Xiuyang said hastily. "Let's just come and see if there is any need for help."

    "You can't help me with these tasks." Tao Yuan said, "Sew masks and make medicine packs. You haven't done it before, and you won't be able to learn it for a while. But I do have something and I need your help. "

    "What do we need to do, sister-in-law, don't hesitate to say!" Ren Xiuyang heard that he could finally help, and immediately became excited.

    "I don’t have enough herbs. I have to collect some herbs today. Most of the soldiers in the Yonghu Squadron have gone out to investigate. Wang Songming and the others want to defend. So I want you soldiers from the Wolf Squadron to draw a few people and accompany me. Go to gather herbs." Tao Yuan said.

    "No problem!" Ren Xiuyang said immediately, "I just had a rest today, and I will take someone to accompany my sister-in-law."

    "Thank you, I'll go prepare things and set off in a while."

    "We should be thankful to my sister-in-law. Protecting my sister-in-law to collect medicine is also our responsibility." Ren Xiuyang said.

    Tao Yuan smiled and nodded, then turned to get something.

    Ren Xiuyang and the others went out, and Wang Songming said, "I can tell you to protect our sister-in-law. If he is injured a little bit, the people in our squadron will not let you go."

    "Don't worry, even if I fight my own life, I will definitely not hurt my sister-in-law." Ren Xiuyang assured.

    "If it hadn't been for me to take turns to guard today, it would not be your turn to protect our sister-in-law." Wang Songming said unwillingly.

    "Sister-in-law did not say before, we are all the same people's soldiers, and your sister-in-law is also our sister-in-law, so what do you do?

    Wang Songming curled his lips and thought, this depends on kinship. We are directly related. Of course, you are not close relatives.

    "I'm going to collect medicine, you have to remember, take the steamed medicine out and dry it later." Tao Yuan asked the nurses.

    Some medicinal materials need to be steamed and dried several times before they are dried. The medicinal properties are better and they can be stored for a longer time.

    "If you know Doctor Yue, we will definitely remember it, don't worry about it," the head nurse replied.

    Tao Yuan carried the herbal medicine box, carried the medicine-gathering basket and tools, and a crossbow, and walked outside the temple. Ren Xiuyang had already ordered someone and was waiting for him outside.

    Watching Tao Yuan leave, one of the nurses said, "Doctor Yue is really amazing, everything is good."

    "Anything is not the best. Two nights ago, Doctor Yue found out that there was a smoke and saved all of us. That's awesome."

    "Now that I'm still flustered, I slept well at night, and suddenly gunshots sounded. I thought the bandits had come up."

    "Fortunately, Dr. Yue stayed in the camp with He Squadron at night. If he also lives in this temple at night and fails to find the smoke, I will be scared after thinking about it."

    "According to what you said, fortunately, Doctor Yue and Squadron He are husband and wife, otherwise they would not live in the camp with Squadron He."

    "Isn't it fortunate that they are husband and wife? I used to think that Dr. Yue was very lucky to be able to marry He Squadron. But now I think it is the greatest blessing for He Squadron to marry Doctor Yue."

    Wen Han sat alone in the corner grinding the powder, and he felt very sad when he heard what they said.

    Tao Yuan used a small hoe and a shovel to carefully dig out a herb and put it into the herb box. These mountains, if it weren't for too many poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, would definitely be the favorite sacred places of Chinese medicine. Not only are herbs with various effects, but if you look carefully, you can also find some very precious medicinal materials.

    The soldiers scattered around, armed with guns on alert, although the bandits kept avoiding them, obviously not wanting to confront them head-on. But you still have to guard against them jumping over the wall in a hurry, they will suddenly bump into it.

    "There is a snake!" suddenly a soldier shouted.

    The guarded soldier continued to guard, and the other soldiers looked in the direction the soldier pointed.

    Tao Yuan also looked at it. It was a woman with a thick small arm. It was a serpent crookedly stopping and sending out a letter. When it stretched, it was estimated to be two or three meters long.

    "You let me." Tao Yuan took out the crossbow from the basket. He had known that he would encounter a snake, so he was ready.

    How dare those soldiers give way, if Tao Yuan is bitten by a snake, they will be scolded to death when they go back, even if they are not scolded, they can't let him get hurt at all.

    "Sister-in-law, the snake is too big to deal with, let's go." Ren Xiuyang persuaded.

    Tao wished to know that they were doing it for his own good, but he would not be injured by a snake. They refused, so he had to walk over by himself.

    Ren Xiuyang was about to stop him when he suddenly saw something flying past. He fixed his eyes and saw that the snake head and the snake body had separated and they were constantly twisting on the ground.

    Ren Xiuyang and several soldiers were stunned. They didn't see Tao Yuan throwing an axe. They only saw a shadow flying past, and the snake head broke. Such a fast speed requires considerable effort to achieve, Tao Yuan in their eyes is really not like someone who can have such a great effort.

    Of course Tao Yuan was not an axe thrown by himself, but a modified crossbow in his hand.

    Tao Yuan picked up a thick branch and took out the knife He Liyuan gave him. After sharpening the branch, he walked over and inserted the snake head into the ground. Even if the snake's head is broken, the snake will not die for a while. It is still necessary to prevent the snake's head from biting people. Without the body, just the snake head didn't have much strength, and he couldn't get rid of the stick.

    "Take the snake back, and I will make you braised snake section at night." Tao Yuan said.

    Hearing that Tao wanted to make snake meat, the soldiers walked over and picked it up.

    Tao Yuan continued to search for herbs. As soon as he encountered a snake, the soldiers looked at him, saw him pick up the crossbow, and flew out with the ax without a handle. Not only is the speed fast, but the key is to be very accurate. With just one click, the snake's head will definitely break. But they didn't understand why a crossbow would have such great power.

    After plucking a box full of herbs, he also picked up some Matsutake mushrooms and Ganoderma lucidum. Tao Yuan thought to himself that when the bandits were wiped out, he must gather more medicines.

    The soldiers dragged three big snakes, ready to return.

    Halfway through, met He Liyuan and the others.

    "Oh, did you catch the snake?" said a soldier on He Liyuan's side. They were investigating on the mountain and didn't have time to catch the snake. The main reason is that catching snakes requires skill and patience and slow grinding. Moreover, when the snake moves fast, it may not be hit with a gun, and it will not die immediately. And they are out to perform tasks, it is not good to waste bullets to catch snakes.

    "We didn't catch it." The soldiers dragging the snake looked at each other and said, "My sister-in-law caught it."

    "Will my sister-in-law catch snakes?" the soldier was surprised. "These snakes are so big, they must be strong. They were all caught by my sister-in-law?"

    "It's not a catch. My sister-in-law used an ax to cut off the snake's head. We just need to pick it up."

    What does it mean to cut off the head of a snake? Would this living snake stay in place and be chopped off? The soldiers who didn't see how Tao Yuan cut the snake were all at a loss and couldn't imagine what they were talking about.

    He Liyuan walked to Tao Yuan's side, took the medicine box in his hand and asked, "How long have you been out?"

    "I came out in the morning." Tao Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky. "A few are younger, and I picked a lot of herbs today."

    "Are you tired?" He Liyuan asked.

    "Fortunately, I am not very tired." Tao Yuan said, "I caught a snake today, and I will go back to cook snake meat."

    The soldiers held their guns and walked back while keeping alert.
