Chapter 23 The Yurt by the Lake

On the first night after entering the country, thousands of military and civilians fell ill together. Even if Zheng Runcheng was reluctant, he could not continue to move forward. He stopped to treat the disease. Only by curing these people, at least he had to wait until the military and civilians were in a stable condition could he continue to march.

The number of people who are sick in the team reaches one-third, which is a force that no commander can give up. Zheng Runcheng is also unable to give up one-third of his troops.

Spiritual relaxation is contagious. As the troops stagnate, more and more military and civilians began to be knocked down by various difficult and complicated diseases. The speed of military doctors' treatment is far from the speed of new patients. Seeing that this army, which had been through hardships and had reached the threshold of victory, had reached the brink of life and death, Zheng Runcheng knew that he had to find a way.

Looking at the various units of the Volunteer Army, only Hu Fei and his officers and soldiers of the Rangers were not entangled with the disease on a large scale. Of course, this may be related to the fact that the Rangers' food has always been more abundant than other units. The soldiers are less hungry and are also cavalry. If they have war horses to travel, they will naturally have more physical strength and will of course have stronger resistance to diseases.

The Volunteer Army has been in an extremely dangerous juncture of life and death. Zheng Runcheng needs someone to move troops to ask for help! The Rangers have strong troops, who will not go? Commander-in-chief Zheng came to find Hu Fei in person.

The troops became like this overnight. Of course, Hu Fei was also anxious as a member of the Volunteer Army. But it was useless to be anxious. He was not a doctor and had no good medicine to treat these sick military and civilians; he was not a landlord and rich businessman, and he did not have a large amount of food stored on hand to make the military and civilians eat. Hu Fei had to do it in a hurry.

At this moment, Zheng Runcheng came. The commander-in-chief asked Hu Fei to lead the ranger to help the volunteers find food, medicine and rescue soldiers in a rare and polite tone. He said it was a request, but it was actually a request. At this critical moment, how could Hu Fei refuse?

Zheng Runcheng, the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, gave Hu Fei a letter of introduction written by him and stamped with the seal of the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army. With this piece of paper, even if Hu Fei had a formal identity, would he have to believe him just by saying something out of thin air?

Putting the letter of introduction in his arms, more than 100 cavalrymen from the Rangers were assembled. Hu Fei saluted Zheng Runcheng on his horse. He shook the reins and said, "Go!" The cavalry unit with the most complete system of Volunteer Army quickly left the camp. Zheng Runcheng raised his hand to return the salute until the Rangers could not see the shadow at all.

"Ga!Ga!" Hu Fei urged the horse under his crotch loudly. The spotted horse's four hooves have already taken the fastest speed as a thoroughbred horse! More than a hundred cavalrymen blew across the deserted meadows and wasteland like a gust of wind.

He has been running forward for nearly four hours, but the Rangers still haven't seen a figure. Hu Fei was getting more and more anxious! He couldn't help but feel anxious. There were more than 20,000 people waiting for him to help him! The spotted horse was already sweating all over, "Wow--" Hu Fei gently tied the reins.

It’s not a problem to run like this! Who knows where there is someone? What if there is a herdsman tent or something on the other side of the mountain and he can’t see it at first sight?

Hu Fei looked around. There were mountains nearby, grasslands around him, and there seemed to be a river in the distance. Standing here, you could see a shining water surface. If there were people within a dozen miles, you might have camped near that water source!

A hill that was more than 100 meters long was not far from the left. Hu Fei shook the reins and shouted, and rushed towards the hill first. He thought of going up the mountain to observe the situation near the water source. More than a hundred cavalry followed closely, and the sound of the hooves of the war horses echoed on this empty grassland like beating drums.

Standing high and looking far is not wrong at all. Hu Fei stood on the top of the hill, and the water source he had just seen was completely visible.

It is blue and like a sapphire, it is a natural lake. There are large patches of water birds in the middle of the lake and sometimes take off; a flock of sheep are eating grass leisurely on the grass; there are two yurts near the hillside.

Finally found the locals! Hu Fei was overjoyed! At this moment, he didn't care what kind of impression a cavalry would have on the owner of the yurt. Hu Fei just wanted to go over and find the herdsman quickly to inquire about the situation nearby!

The sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder again. This time the goal was very clear, and they were the two white yurts!

Hu Fei took the lead. The spotted horse, who is familiar with human nature, knew that the owner was anxious. He ran like flying without Hu Fei's urging. He ran to death on the mountain! Looking at the yurt, it seemed that it was not far from the yurt. He really ran, even the spotted horse ran for about half an hour.

It was almost here, two big, two small and four herdsmen wearing fur coats and fur hats walked out of the yurt. It seemed that they were a happy family. The family was obviously shocked by the sudden appearance of the cavalry. The four of them stood outside the yurt and watched the cavalry running closer and closer like the wind.

The loyal shepherd dogs began to bark. The herdsmen's family woke up from surprise. The woman and the child hid in the yurt. The man from this family took out a long-tube hunting rifle from his yurt and looked coldly at the cavalry getting closer and closer.

"Brother, brother!" Hu Fei saw the herdsmen's vigilance and began to shout loudly from afar. He didn't believe that the herdsmen would not understand this Chinese sentence.

Hu Fei guessed correctly. The herdsman really knew Chinese. Although he didn't know much, he still knew the meaning of the word "Big Brother". The herdsman seemed to have relieved a little, and his gun was no longer aimed at the cavalry, but he did not hold it away, so he grabbed it with both hands one by one and the other.

Hu Fei ran away twenty meters away from the herdsmen, jumped off the horse, and trotted to the herdsmen, clasped their fists and bowed their hands. The herdsmen followed suit and returned the fists. The time was limited, so Hu Fei casually greeted the herdsmen, and immediately told the other party about his identity after knowing that the other party understood Chinese.

"I am the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. This is a detour to return from the Soviet Union. Our troops are in trouble on the border and are now in urgent need of doctors, medicines and food. I am going to Tacheng. Please ask my elder brother how to get there?"

"Northeast Volunteer Army?" The herdsman exclaimed and turned around and called his wife and children to come out to see Hu Fei and his troops. In the herdsman's heart, the volunteer army that fought against Japan was a hero, and being able to get close to heroes is a blessing!

He knew about Tacheng, but the herdsmen still asked Hu Fei and his soldiers to drink a bowl of goat milk to moisten their throats first.

Is this thing a throat moistening? This is obviously a nutritious and high-end supplement! The smell of goat milk in the bowl has become the most beautiful taste in the world in Hu Fei's mouth.
