Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 1 Camp
A gust of wind blew past, bringing some scorching heat, and the sun hung high in the sky, cracking the scorched earth.

The land is dry, there is not enough water, the vegetation on the ground looks a little yellow, and the small rivers and streams that used to flow have now become sunken ravines.

The bird sang hoarsely in the air, as if it couldn't hold back its thirst, it turned around in the air, and then flew carefully towards a wide river.

This river is extremely spacious, about hundreds of feet wide, and there is still some wet silt in the middle of the river. The bird did not dare to land directly to find the water source, because there are hundreds of people in the river carefully fetching water with broken wooden barrels .

The people in the river were ragged and thin, and some of them looked at the falling birds with bright eyes, showing a trace of heat.

In this world where there is not enough to eat, as long as this bird dares to land, it will become a prey in the eyes of these people!

An iron knife hung from Gao Tai's waist, and he was holding a mutilated wooden barrel. Inside the barrel was a bit of muddy river water. He also saw the flying bird in mid-air, and his fingers trembled, as if he wanted to hold his waist. between handles.

However, thinking that the young master who had not recovered from his injuries was still waiting for the medicine to be applied, he couldn't help sighing slightly, turned around and left with the wooden barrel in hand.

In front of the river is a huge camp. Countless men and women in ragged clothes wearing yellow scarves are making noise in the camp. There are children crying for hunger, and women and children crying helplessly.

Around the camp, four teams of strong men patrolled with long guns, and there were many wounded soldiers with severed limbs and blood, panting heavily in the corner of the camp.

When Gao Tai saw the spearmen wearing yellow scarves patrolling around in the camp, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and then he immediately controlled his emotions and came to the tent in a remote corner of the camp with a wooden barrel.

This tent is dilapidated, and it seems to be made of old flags from the battlefield.

"Father! You are back!"

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, a thin head poked out from the tent. It was a thin girl whose face was smeared with black ash. Seeing Gao Tai's figure, she breathed a sigh of relief.Hastily walked out of the tent and took the barrel from Gaotai's hand.

"Xiaoying, how is the young master now? How is the injury on his body recovering?" Gao Tai lovingly touched the girl's withered and slightly yellowed hair, and asked softly.

"Father's herbs are very useful. My son's injury has healed a lot!" said the girl named Xiaoying.

She was carrying the wooden barrel with some difficulty, and carefully poured the muddy water into the pottery bowl next to it. There was an unextinguished bonfire next to the pottery bowl, and a trace of herbal medicine smelled from the pottery bowl.

"The herbs I picked can only be applied externally to treat some injuries. The young master's main injury is on the head. The talisman water from the Taiping Dao is really useful. It seems that the young master will recover soon."

Hearing this, Gao Tai showed a gleam of joy on his face. The young master was stabbed by the officers and soldiers on the battlefield four days ago, and when he fell to the ground, he happened to hit a stone. , lying in bed for two or three days, taking a little talisman water, and applying herbal medicine on his body, he turned the crisis into safety.

"You boil the water outside first, and go to see the young master for the father! Remember to call me loudly if you have anything to do!"

Gao Tai explained, and opened the camp tent, the grass and rags in the tent were simply spread on the ground, and a boy who looked like eighteen or nineteen years old was lying on it. , but there is a heroic spirit between his brows.

At this time, the boy had a bloody cloth wrapped around his chest. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he immediately opened his eyes and stood up. His movements were crisp and neat. When he saw the appearance of the person coming, he let go of the wooden stick in his hand and yelled. Said: "Uncle Gao!"

Gao Tai hurriedly stepped forward to help the young man sit down, "Young master, be careful, your wounds haven't healed yet!" As he spoke, he saw that the young man's face was normal, and then took a step back.

The young man smiled wryly, "I have troubled Uncle Gao these days. If Uncle Gao hadn't guarded me to the death four days ago and dragged me out of the chaos, I would still be alive!"

Gao Tai's expression changed, and he said solemnly: "Master, are you treating me as an outsider? I am a servant of the Gao family, and it is only right and proper to serve you. Besides, without your protection, Xiaoying and I would have starved to death long ago. Please invite me Don't say such nonsense anymore!"

The young man nodded and stopped talking, but his heart was turbulent. His current name is Gao Cheng, and his style name is Zi Ming.

Suddenly came to this world four days ago, the soul merged with the remnant soul of this body, and got some memories of this body during the fusion process,
It's just that the fusion is not complete, and there are still many unfused memory fragments in his mind, which only let him roughly know his name and some trivial things.

Due to the change of soul, Gao Cheng is not familiar with the behavior of his servant Gao Tai. From waking up to the present, he has been deliberately pretending to have a pain in the head, reducing direct contact with the other party and observing secretly.

Four days passed, and he discovered that Gao Tai was a loyal man, and he didn't notice his abnormality, and often went to the wild to collect medicine for him at the risk of danger.

Knowing this, Gao Cheng also put down his guard, and regarded Gao Tai and his daughter Gao Ying as his own people he could trust.

"By the way, son, when I was fetching water from the river just now, I heard that Commander Qu is going to lead his army to Yingchuan, and he will be leaving the camp in three days!" Gao Tai said suddenly.

Gao Cheng thought for a while, combining what he had learned in the past few days.Analysis: "The yellow turban bandits had just fought a bitter battle with the government and army four days ago. Although they won, they didn't get much food from the capture!"

"Having been stationed here for a long time, without the need for officers and soldiers to attack, most of the more than 1 people in this camp will starve to death, and the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers are no match for the officers and soldiers at all."

"This group of Yellow Turban soldiers don't have much choice. No matter whether they go south or north, they can only hope to survive if they continue to coerce the people to attack the city!"

Gao Tai suddenly realized, showing a look of conviction. "What you said is very true, these yellow scarf thieves will either choose to starve to death, or they must break out and attack the city!"

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his face became extremely ugly.

"The yellow turbans will continue to attack the city. Doesn't that mean that we will go into battle and fight with the officers and soldiers? Damn it! If it weren't for this gang of thieves, we would have returned to Guangling long ago, and now we have been coerced into the bandit camp. If the officers and soldiers knew With our identities, how will the young master become an official in the future?"

This body doesn't have much memory left, and after absorbing the memory, Gao Cheng doesn't know much about the situation in the world.

So when I heard Gordon's words at this time, I didn't answer, but sighed slightly, and said: "Nowadays the world is in chaos, the official army and the Yellow Turban Army are coming and killing each other, especially the Yellow Turban Army, all over the place, even if We can get away from here, and we will encounter other Yellow Turban bandits before we go far, so let's stay here and find a way to save our lives."

Gao Tai could only nod his head when he heard the words.Then he saw the tired look on Gao Cheng's face, so he stood up and left, leaving Gao Cheng to rest in the tent.

After Gao Tai left, Gao Cheng showed a wry smile, "Yellow Scarf... In the seventh year of Guanghe, this place is actually the Three Kingdoms World. I don't know what kind of bad luck I have, but I came here suddenly. The Yellow Turban Army!"

In his memory, the Yellow Turban Army has always been the representative of the mob fighting against the five scum.

And the Yellow Turban Army has always been regarded as grassroots thieves at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. As long as they hit the hands of the officers and soldiers, there is only one word, kill!This situation did not improve until the later period when the princes competed for hegemony.

"Hey, it's not my turn to worry about the future of the Yellow Turban Army. The most important thing now is how to survive in this Yellow Turban camp!" Gao Cheng raised his arm, and suddenly there was a stabbing pain in his chest. Signs of unhealed.

At this moment, Gao Ying came over with a bowl of herbs. This thin little girl was responsible for taking care of Gao Cheng these days, and she was very tired. She said softly, "Master, it's time to change the medicine!"

Speaking of which, she walked up to Gao Cheng and took off the cloth strips wrapped around Gao Cheng's body with ease, and carefully applied herbal medicine to the wound on his chest. At this time, the wound had begun to shrink, and a blood-red trace remained.

"That's great, my lord. The wound should be completely healed in a day." Gao Ying looked very happy, with a slight blush on her small face.

After applying the medicine, Gao Cheng put on his clothes, and said with a little surprise, "Xiaoying, where did Uncle Gao pick the herbs? I was stabbed in the chest and suffered such serious injuries. I had to apply the medicine for four days. Is it almost okay? This is too fast!"

Gao Ying glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "Master, have you forgotten? It was my father who used the property seized on the battlefield to exchange the Taiping Fushui from Wu Dubo, and used the Fushui to rescue the son. The Taiping Fushui can To cure all kinds of diseases, the herbal medicine my father picked is not so effective!"

Peaceful water?Gao Cheng's heart was shocked, isn't Fushui used by liars to deceive people?How can it be possible to cure all diseases?However, seeing Gao Ying's expression, he seemed to have no doubts about the effect of Taiping Fushui.

"Well, maybe I got a head injury. I remember wrong." Gao Cheng laughed dryly. At this moment, he growled in his stomach, and quickly changed the subject, asking, "By the way, how much food do we have now?"

Gao Ying's small face suddenly darkened a little, and she didn't pay attention to Gao Cheng's abnormality anymore, but said in a low voice: "We only have half a bag of food left, and this is what my father used all the remaining money to get from the food and grass officer. Yes, it's only enough to feed us for two days. We'll be starving by the time we break out of camp."

At this time, the Yellow Turban army was composed of diehard believers of Taiping Dao and hungry people who were about to starve to death without food. The food and grass in the camp were extremely lacking. The refugees and the people can only be left to fend for themselves.

Before Gao Cheng came to this world, although his family was not a wealthy family, he had no worries about food and clothing. He had never experienced the feeling of being hungry. Now when he heard Gao Ying's words, his heart sank.

"There is only enough food for two days..."

Gao Cheng felt a sense of urgency. Three days later, the army pulled out of the camp. Except for the direct descendants of the Yellow Turban Army and the able-bodied refugees, the remaining thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled had no more than [-]% chance of surviving after repeated trekking.

Next, Gao Cheng continued to talk to Gao Ying, pretending to inquire about all the information about this world.

But Gao Ying was just a little girl who hadn't seen much of the world, and knew very little information.But just this little information shocked Gao Cheng, and he was in a trance for several hours before recovering.
