Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

After dealing with more than ten bandits left behind in the valley, only a few women remained, apparently all of them were robbed by bandits up the mountain.

Zhang He tortured the women, temporarily locked them in a wooden hut, and then searched around the bandit den.

After rummaging in the wooden house where the bandit leader Jiang Tianba lived, he found about two or three taels of silver under the pillow.

After that, nothing of value was found. Although Zhang He had no experience, he still felt that the bandit was a little too poor and lost his identity as a bandit.

He was a little unwilling, and searched again, but still found nothing.

Just when he turned around and was about to leave, he found that this big bed seemed to be moved frequently, and the ground was scratched.

Immediately, he moved the bed to one side, and found that there was an area under the bed covered with a layer of loose fine soil. After sweeping the soil away, there was a slate below.

Uncovering this slate, there is a ceramic jar below. Zhang He held it out, feeling quite heavy.

The altar lid was filled with small pieces of silver ingots. After counting it, there were about 60 taels.

One tael of silver is equal to one thousand dollars, equal to one thousand wen.

Unexpectedly, a small bandit den could gather so much wealth.

Zhang He put these silver coins into the space, and then continued to search for other places. Soon he found the warehouse where the other party kept the grain.

At a place three feet above the ground, a house was built out of wood, which was already full of this year's new grain.

There are rice, corn, and soybeans in it, and the total amount is at least 10,000 to 20,000 catties.

After leaving the warehouse, nothing of value was found anywhere else.

At this time, Ma Gan arrived with a team of people. When they saw the grain in the warehouse, everyone was overjoyed. They had never seen so much grain before.

"You put all your valuables together and stay there for one night. I'll go back first, and arrange for someone to come and carry it tomorrow morning."

There is too much food here, and it will not be able to be transported in a while. Zhang He ordered Ma Gan to take someone to stay behind, and he returned to Qifeng Mountain on horseback.

At the foot of Qifeng Mountain, old man Zhang was still instructing people to carry the corpse.

This time, seven guards and dozens of coolies died on the Qifeng Mountain side, and dozens of people died on the bandit side. The rest of the bandits all fled.

The leader of the entire bandit was captured alive by the fat tiger and kept in the sheepfold.

Now there are too many corpses to be too particular about it. The corpses of both the coolies and the bandits have all been picked up and piled together, ready to be buried early tomorrow morning.

The only difference between the two is that the coolie's corpse still retains the last dignity and can retain the clothes on the body.

The bandits who were killed were all stripped of their clothes, and not a single thread was left behind.

No one has extra clothes these days. No one would care about the clothes that were taken from the corpse.

If you don't like it, you can take these clothes to the market to sell them for money, and then exchange them for something else.

But the seven guards who died in this battle were treated much better. Not only did their personal clothes remain, but they were already wrapped in sackcloth at this time, and it was said that a coffin would be prepared for them at that time.

This made all the coolies envious of the treatment of the guards, and they ate better than them, and now they would be treated better even if they died.

Although everyone hasn't died yet, so I don't know what it's like, but I still think that a grand funeral is better.

Apart from those who died on the spot this time, there were also many injured, especially the guards, who were almost all injured.

At this time, in a thatched hut, the wounded were lying all over the place.

In places like this where there is a lack of medicine, the death rate from injuries is very high, at least reaching more than half.

"Father, you arrange for someone to boil a large pot of boiling water. I will use it later. Remember to wash the pot of boiling water."

Zhang He intends to act as a doctor by himself. He should be more reliable than the quack doctors in Heishui Town to treat the wounds.

He went to check among the wounded, and some were seriously injured, such as those who were cut in the stomach, or who were stabbed several times in the body. Zhang He was not sure that he would be able to save his life, so he could only do his best.

"Sir, the water has been boiled."

When Zhang He heard this, he found a few clean wooden barrels and scalded them with boiling water.

Then he found a steel scale, weighed boiling water, and took out a bag of salt from the space. After careful weighing, he prepared a large bucket of physiological saline.

Now that the conditions are poor, he can only prepare by weighing according to the concentration of 0.9%, which is still ok for cleaning wounds.

There was still some boiling water left in the pot, so he found some clean linen cloths and threw them into the cauldron. He instructed a coolie to keep burning the fire and boil the linen cloths for more than half an hour.

Boiled sterilized linen can be used to bandage wounds.

Carrying a large bucket of physiological saline, Zhang He began to take turns to clean the wounds of many wounded.

The wound must be cleaned so as to avoid wound infection as much as possible. Some wounds are too large, and Zhang He can only suture the wound with boiled sewing needles.

For some deep wounds, he would also leave a burlap strip for drainage when sutured.

The suture technique is relatively rough, a little crooked, and it is inevitable to leave a big scar. It is better than losing your life.

The wound that has been treated is then bandaged with boiled burlap.

All of this, he operates in accordance with the aseptic concept of modern medicine. Although the conditions are a little worse, as long as he has the resistance of a normal person, even if there is no antibiotics, the probability of being infected is still very small~www.wuxiahere.com~ Clean the wound, Combined with proper care, even without antibiotics, the mortality rate can be reduced to less than 10%.

By the time he finished treating all the wounded, it was the next morning.

The old man Zhang had already led a group of coolies to the bandit den to carry things. For safety, Zhang He also arranged for several escorts to accompany him.

When Zhang He came out of the thatched hut, a group of people had come back carrying various items, some carrying sacks, carrying baskets, some carrying a table or a few benches, including several "female bandits".

There are many males and females on Qifeng Mountain. If these female bandits are willing to stay, they will be able to solve some problems.

Of course, Qifeng Mountain is not a den of bandits, and Zhang He will respect the other party's wishes.

"Dad, have you all moved back?"

"No, at least one or two more trips."

Old man Zhang threw down a sack of rice, poured a large ladle of cold water into his stomach, and hurried away with the people.

After three trips, the old man Zhang demolished all the houses built by the bandits in the valley and moved all the useful items back to Qifeng Mountain.

Now, at the foot of Qifeng Mountain, there are piles of wood, planks, tiles and other miscellaneous items.

It seems that the old man Zhang really scraped the ground three feet and not a single tile was left for the property in the bandit valley.

However, when these bandits entered the village to loot, they wanted everything.

The items brought back this time even included a lot of farm tools.

Like hoes, hatchets, sickles, axes, baskets, iron pots, they have everything.

Most of these items are iron, relatively speaking, they are indeed relatively expensive items. Whether it is for personal use or sale, it is a great wealth.
