Chapter 334 Wanquan uses information to exchange for medicinal materials
The camp was filled with groans that night, and some people died because their injuries were too severe and they had no medicine to treat them, so they died in pain.
When it was almost dawn, Wanquan woke up. After he saw clearly where he was, he immediately looked around. Seeing that the people around him were still Tongrui's people, he wanted to sit up. As soon as he moved, he woke up Anan who was standing next to him.
"Boy, are you awake? You're lucky." Anan sat up, took a bowl of warm water from the nearby stove and handed it to Wanquan.
"Have a drink of water first."
Wan Quan was indeed thirsty, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand. He reluctantly took the bowl and took a sip, then felt a little weak.
"Where are they? Are they still alive?" Wanquan leaned weakly on the blanket, swaying, his face pale as a trace of blood.
"Are you talking about the people of Daqi? A lot of them died, right? I heard another group died last night. There are less than fifty people alive now, right?"
"Can you call someone over for me? I have something to ask them?"
Wanquan didn't even have the strength to crawl out at this time and could only rely on Anan.
"Okay, lie down first, I'll go get someone for you."
Anan was quite easy to talk to at this moment. After all, he had already rescued the person, so he didn't care about such a small matter.
Soon Anan brought someone.
"Captain? Are you still alive? We only have over thirty of our men. The general is also missing. We don't know whether he is dead or alive. We..."
When the soldier saw Wan Quan, he immediately cried as if he had seen a relative.
Wan Quan could feel his collapse, but when he heard that Wan Xingmo had not returned yet, the little hope in his heart turned into despair.
"How are the rest of the people doing?"
"We are short of medical care and medicine right now, and the rest of us are injured. We are all just trying to hold on. I wonder if we can survive until tomorrow?"
After hearing this, Wan Quan clutched the blanket tightly with both hands, a feeling of sadness rising from the bottom of his heart. In this year, he saw familiar faces falling down beside him one by one, but he still had to keep moving forward. He thought that his heart had been tempered, but he didn't know that it would still hurt now.
"I see. You go back and wait for news. I'll find a solution."
After Wanquan finished speaking weakly, the soldier wiped his tears and left.
"Brother Nan, I want to see my wife. Could you please tell her for me?"
Anan guessed most of Wanquan's thoughts and said bluntly, "Madam won't help them. You are from Daqi. We lost several brothers last night helping you kill wolves. We did this out of respect for you. Madam said she won't interfere in your affairs anymore. It all depends on your luck."
"Tell the lady that I am willing to tell her everything I know in exchange for her helping the man, okay?"
After hesitating for a moment, Anan nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Anan was out for about a quarter of an hour and finally came back.
"Madam said she could only promise to help you heal your wounds. She couldn't do anything else because we didn't have many herbs with us."
"Okay, as long as Madam agrees to treat the wound, we will figure out the rest ourselves."
Anan moved aside and Tongrui bent over and walked in. The door of the igloo was very small, so adults had to bend over to come in.
"I have already asked Granny Hu to treat your people, and I have also provided them with ten extra bags of charcoal. There is snow wolf meat here, so they shouldn't starve to death. The wolf skins can also keep them warm, so they won't freeze to death. You can rest assured. Can you tell me now?"
Wan Quan looked at Tong Rui with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your generosity. Wan Quan would like to thank you on behalf of the soldiers of the Great Qi."
"That's not necessary. I didn't do anything. We just took what we needed. After today, we'll go our separate ways."
Wan Quan nodded, lay on the blanket, and said slowly: "Don't you want to know the relationship between that little girl and me?"
"She is my sister, but not my biological sister. She is my cousin, the youngest daughter of my second aunt."
"So where is she now?"
Tong Rui's heart beat faster.
"Before I say anything, can I ask you a question?"
"Excuse me."
"I want to know why you are so persistent in finding out my sister's whereabouts, and who does this jade token belong to?"
Wan Quan looked directly at Tong Rui. If Tong Rui hesitated, it would mean she was lying.
"This jade token is mine. I gave it to your sister. I was kidnapped by gangsters in a county town that day. I was pregnant at the time. It was your sister and another young master who saved me and kept me and my child safe. To thank them, I gave your sister a jade token, which is the one you are wearing."
Wan Quan carefully recalled Tong Rui's words, and then asked: "How long ago was that?"
"About two years?"
"Two years? My sister was only one year old at that time. Are you mistaken? How could a one-year-old save someone? She couldn't even speak clearly."
Wan Quan was already recalling what happened two years ago when they were on the road to exile. During their break, they did go to the county town to purchase goods. It was Brother Wan who went with Fubao at that time. Could it be that the young man that the lady was talking about was Brother Wan?
"At that time, there was a young man holding her, saying that the little girl brought him here. I was not feeling well at the time, so I did not ask more questions. However, I felt that your sister and I had a good impression of each other, so I directly gave her a jade token to express my gratitude."
"I guess the young man you are talking about should be Brother Wan who disappeared last night. Although I don't know the incident you mentioned, we were all on the way to exile. We went to the county town once on the way, but only Brother Wan and my sister went there. Although there were others, they were not the young man you mentioned."
"Brother Wan? Are you talking about your general? I heard from your people in Da Qi that your general led away a part of the snow wolf pack and has not returned yet."
When Wan Quan heard the news again, he still couldn't calm down. He felt that Wan Xingmo couldn't have died just like that. He must still be alive, and maybe he was waiting for him to save him.
"Madam, since Brother Wan is your savior, could you please send someone to look for him along the way? He must not have walked far, at most ten miles, which is not difficult for you. You have a sled, and you can run back and forth in less than an hour. If you don't find him, I will give up."
Tong Rui was in a dilemma. She couldn't be sure that Wan Xingmo was the person who saved her that year, but Wan Quan would not lie about this.
"Okay, I promise."
"Anan, have Ali lead the men to follow the traces left by the snow wolf yesterday. It didn't snow last night, so the traces should still be fresh. Come back within an hour, whether you find them or not. It's time for us to set off."
"Yes, ma'am."
Tong Rui looked at Wan Quan again and asked, "You said you were exiled prisoners, so where are you exiled to now? Can you tell me the address? I want to go and thank your sister in person."
"You seem to be particularly attentive to my sister. Can I ask why?"
Wan Quan thought Tong Rui's attitude was very strange. Could she be the biological mother of Xiao Fubao? Otherwise, why did they look so similar? If so, did she go to snatch Fubao away?
