Zhang Daqiang knew that the ten dollars he gave was not enough to buy a carriage, let alone the things in the carriage.

"Doctor Yu, tell me how much it cost, and I will report it when we catch up with the main force."

"Okay, I bought the car because I thought we would have a lot of stuff if we could leave. We're sure we'll need it."

"Yes, you are absolutely right."

Everyone was very happy, mainly because there was food.

All of them were able to move and help cook, so they knew how much food they had left.

They were all people who had experienced hunger and knew how precious food was. With this truckload of food, they could be much more relaxed. There were also medicines. This way, the brothers could recover faster.

After they came back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaoqin ran over and said, "You've been out for a whole day, and everyone is anxiously waiting for you."

"No one will pay attention to someone like me. Don't worry, the county town is quite peaceful. There were two guards when I came out at noon."

"Don't take so long next time."

"There's nothing else we need. We can go to the village to buy food. They told us they'll start grinding cornmeal tomorrow."

"Doctor Yu, with so many of us, we need to eat a lot of food every day."

"Eat. There is nothing we can do about it. We are all wounded and should eat our fill. My father left me some silver bars and silver dollars, which should be enough.

Sister Xiaoqin, there are steamed buns in the car, let’s have one each.” At night, the two girls were still in the same tent. Yu Min felt itchy all over because she had nothing to do.

"Want to take a shower?"

"Yeah, it's so uncomfortable,"

"I'll get you some water."

"Forget it, there's not much water here, so I won't wash."

"Your bath water is not bad, I want to take a bath too."

Xiaoqin made the fire and Yu Min fetched water, but each of them was given a bucket of water, and they were reluctant to use more than that.

"You wash first, I'll be outside."

"it is good."

I just saw Xiaoqin was quite far away from the tent, so she went into the space to take a shower and wash clothes outside.

I took a nice hot shower, but felt my hair was too long, so I asked Xiaoqin to help me cut it.

It was already past eleven o'clock when the two girls finished packing.

"so comfortable."

"Yeah. I wonder where the main force is?"

"We didn't see when the main force left."

"Indeed, I am looking forward to a quick victory."

"Who wouldn't want that?"

They were all young men with excellent recovery abilities. After three days, only a few seriously injured soldiers were still unable to recover.

Wang Hanmin was among the seriously injured. "Thank you, little girl, for saving my life."

"Captain Wang, I am sorry for you. I used you as an experiment."

"Haha, I am already very grateful that I was able to save my life. It is also because you are brave. If someone else would not have taken the bullet out of me, I would probably have died."

After a brief chat, the two continued to work, and it was not until noon that all the wounded were given a new medicine. The Chinese medicine had already been boiled, and it was all medicine for wounds, with anti-inflammatory effects among them, and all the wounded could drink it.

In the afternoon, Yu Min boiled the medicine according to the prescription given by Li Jingheng and made it into pills. No matter what, she had to take good care of her body, otherwise she would definitely become a burden.

Zhang Daqiang and Wang Hanmin discussed when to set off.

"Our current combat capability is not good enough. Besides, most of those with leg injuries probably can't travel long distances."

Zhang Daqiang was anxious, "How long do we have to wait?"

"Ask Doctor Yu."

Yu Min was called over and listened to the two people's questions. "I think it's really not suitable to set off now. We are all anxious, but it's really not good to have broken bones. We still can't march at that time. Will we come back then?

That's not realistic, so I might as well take advantage of this opportunity to get my body in good shape."

"But the consumption here is too high."

"Doesn't marching cost anything? Dean Wei told me not to rush. But there's no point in rushing. We can't move, and it might be even more dangerous if we run into the enemy."

Zhang Daqiang was impatient. "How long will it take?"

"It's uncertain. It depends on everyone's recovery. I'd say it will take at least a month."

"One month? That's winter. Where will all these people live? The temperature here is quite low in winter. Won't they freeze to death if there's heavy snow?"

Yu Min knew that what they said was true, but it was simply impossible to march like this.

"Doctor Yu, do you have any money left? Otherwise, we can buy two carriages and put the seriously injured on them. Those who can't hold on can also get on to rest for a while."

"Captain Zhang, I have enough money to buy two horse-drawn carriages. One of them needs to carry supplies. There are 32 seriously injured soldiers, so two carriages are not enough.

Otherwise, we can just buy five carriages, but they won’t be fast because other people can’t keep up with the speed of the carriages.”

"Five cars are too conspicuous." Wang Hanmin said with a frown.

"With so many of us, we'll be conspicuous enough. Even if we buy a carriage, we won't be able to set out until a week later. It won't work if we leave earlier."

"Okay, then we'll set off in a week. Doctor Yu, do we have enough medicine?"

"Not enough. I will go to the county town tomorrow. Five of you will come with me to drive the cart back. You guys just wait outside the city. I will ask the livestock seller to take you out of the city."

"Can you do it alone?"

"Why not? Let Xiaoqin go with me, and she will take the carriage out of the city.

You don't have to wait for me. Just come back directly. I need to buy some food after buying medicine."

The two had to agree. The main reason was that it was not safe for them to go in. Now the two armies were at war, and they had no idea what was going on in the county.

Their mission is to catch up with the main force, and there is no point in staying here.

Xiaoqin was very happy to know that she could go to the county town. "It's okay to just go and take a look."

"I'm going to buy some cotton this time, and also some cotton clothes. We two have to hurry up and make them. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the main group if we get cold."

"Okay, don't worry, we have already made ten sets of cotton-padded jackets. Xiaojiu and the others can also make them. We will start the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I want to buy some ready-made clothes."

"Doctor Yu, you have to spend money, right?"

"Yes, Captain Zhang said that they only left fifty yuan. It's not enough for so many people to eat."

"Luckily you have money, or you would all be starving."

"Not necessarily. Maybe there is another way."

Yu Min wondered if he should deal with the two most hateful landlords and gentry before leaving. Wouldn't he be rich that way?

Thinking about the possibility, I told Wang Hanmin about this matter the next day.

"Okay then. I'll go into the city with you to check it out. The amount given by the higher-ups is indeed too little. I don't know how long we have to hold out. We can only figure out a solution on our own."

Zhang Daqiang was unhappy to be left behind. He wanted to go with them to investigate, but there was no one to lead him.

"Captain Wang, Captain Zhang is too hot-tempered. This won't work."
