Jiang Yu could see at a glance that something was wrong with Chu Xiong's current situation and rushed up.

Song Tianming also hurriedly followed.

Chu Xiong's face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and he kept sweating, but his body was cold.

Song Tianming touched his heartbeat, and the speed was also extremely fast.

However, seeing that the other party was breathing smoothly and there were no obvious injuries on his body, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hurry up, go and invite the doctor!"

Jiang Yu turned around and ordered, the two yamen runners looked at each other, and one of them ran out without any hesitation.

Song Tianming said to another yamen runner:

"You go out and buy some rice porridge, then some steamed buns and pancakes, and buy more!"

Jiang Yu looked at Song Tianming in confusion: "Sir, can this steamed bun rice porridge still cure the disease?"

"Who said he was sick, he was just low in blood sugar, and he could eat something."

Jiang Yu was confused: "What is hypoglycemia?"

"Well...simply put, I'm fainted from hunger."

"oh......"

Soon, the two yamen runners came back with their doctor and food.

Song Tianming immediately filled a bowl of porridge with a bowl and slowly poured it down Chu Xiong's mouth.

"Cough cough cough..." Chu Xiong immediately started coughing after taking a few sips.

But the whole person also woke up, looking at Song Tianming and Jiang Yu in front of him with a blank look.

After seeing the faces of the two, Chu Xiong suddenly woke up a lot. While struggling to get up, he shouted: "General! Mr. Song! Why are you here..."

He even wanted to get out of bed and salute Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu held it down: "Don't move for now, your body is still empty, so don't make these stupid things."

Song Tianming also said: "Brother Chu, if you have anything to say, finish your food first and keep your spirits up."

When Chuxiong saw two yamen runners carrying a large jar of rice porridge and a large bag of food, tears flowed down involuntarily.

With the comfort of the two, the man finished the meal safely and cried while eating, which made Song Tianming feel heartbroken.

Only then did he realize that Chu Xiong's right leg was gone, only empty trouser legs were left.

Jiang Yu also introduced Song Tianming to this time.

Chuxiong was originally a soldier under Jiang Yu. He joined the army for five years, and it was five years since he was discharged from the army.

This brother is not good-looking, but it left a deep impression on Jiang Yu, that is, he has carpenter skills and often helps repair tanks and fortifications. His craftsmanship is even more exquisite than those specialized craftsmen, so he is very famous in the army.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Yu asked, "Chuxiong, why did you look like this? I remember that your family is a carpenter work, and you have also learned some of your father's business. Logically speaking, life should be acceptable!"

"Oh..." Chu Xiong looked helpless and said, "General, you know that before, I was cut off by the barbarians, and thought about getting some retirement pensions after returning to his hometown to inherit the family business, and life was enjoyable.

But who knew that the original money that the Ministry of War promised us should be more than 100 taels, but when we arrived in the county to collect it, there were only fifteen taels left!"

"What? Only fifteen taels?"

Jiang Yu was shocked and couldn't speak for a long time.

Song Tianming had previously said that the Daqian court would exploit the salary and pensions of retired soldiers from layer by layer. He was a little unbelievable and always felt that he was exaggerating.

But now that Chu Xiong has appeared and said that he can't believe it anymore!

"Why is there only so much?"

Chu Xiong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can we know this? What the county magistrate said is that we have to pay for the loss of weapons during military service, etc. Now after deducting the money, the rest is what we deserve..."

Jiang Yu suddenly stood up and yelled: "He farts! I'll go find him now to ask for money!"

Song Tianming grabbed him: "General, that's the matter of the former county magistrate. Now the person has been replaced. You can't find him even if you want to find him."

Speaking of this, Song Tianming suddenly thought that at that time, the Marquis of Dingbei confiscated a lot of the county magistrate's property, and there should be the salary that Chu Xiong and others were deducted!

However, it is impossible to tell how much money the Xiahe County Magistrate can get.

The one who really takes the big head is afraid that the group of high-ranking officials above, and the people below are just drinking some soup.

When Jiang Yu heard this, he immediately felt like a deflated ball, sitting depressedly beside the bed.

Now Chu Xiong began to comfort him: "General, don't be sad. Although the money is less, it's not impossible to live. Am I still fine..."

But Chu Xiong himself dared not believe what he said.

Jiang Yuqiang calmed down and continued to ask: "This money is so small, how did you live this life?"

"Don't I have some carpenter skills? After I came back, I went out to work with my father, so I lived a good life in the first two years. My father was planning to find me a wife..." At this point, Chu Xiong's face was filled with a happy smile.

But the smile flew in a flash, as if it was a sad thing: "But three years ago, my father suddenly had a serious illness and passed away, leaving me alone.

Life is not impossible, but my legs..."

Chu Xiong grabbed his trouser legs and looked sad: "Xiahe County has no fine carpenter work, it is all heavy work that requires climbing high and low. My legs are inconvenient, so these work cannot be done at all...

When my father was there, he could help me a little, but now that he has left, no one wants to come to work for me..."

Song Tianming was silent.

Chu Xiong's craftsmanship is recognized by Jiang Yu, so it will definitely not be bad, but unexpectedly, it will fall to a point where there is no way to do it!

Song Tianming was really unimaginable to this kind of magical thing.

"I also know that if I stayed in Xiahe County, I would definitely not be able to live this life. If I want to find a better business and be able to make a living, I have to go to the county town.

There are more wealthy people there and have high requirements for carpenter work, so you will definitely find work to do it.”

Song Tianming nodded. This man was a clever man. He could live better if he moved his tree and lived in a different place.

Jiang Yu asked again: "Then why didn't you go? You still stay in Xiahe County?"

"Of course I wanted to go. After I had this idea, I found a caravan to the county town and planned to take a group to Shouchun County.

For this reason, I brought all the money I had at that time with me.”

"But who could have expected that the day after we set off, we met bandits..."

"Bandit?" Just as Song Tianming thought of something, Chu Xiong suddenly bowed to him: "Thank you, Mr., for taking action, and helped me avenge me!"

"The bandits who blocked your way back then were from Niushou Mountain?" Song Tianming immediately understood.

"It was the bandits in Niushou Mountain who robbed the caravan's money and drove us away.

I was penniless and even had dry food stolen. My legs and feet were inconvenient, so I couldn't walk to the county town at all... I had no choice. I walked in the mountains for three days and three nights before I escaped back to Xiahe County..."

After listening to Chu Xiong's story, Song Tianming and Jiang Yu's faces looked very bad.

A man who has been working for the country until his legs are broken and has good skills is actually so miserable.

Whether it is those officials or the arrogant bandits under the protection of officials, they deserve to be punished!

He now feels that erecting the monument of rebirth is really a good decision.

To this day, Xiahe County has people walking to the monument to worship every day.

But this monument of rebirth is still too few...

Jiang Yu said slowly: "Then what are you going to do next? Just stay in this place and wait for death?"

Chu Xiong shook his head helplessly: "What else can I do? I just want to go to the county town now and I have no money. In the past two years, my neighbors have been kind-hearted and helped me, and I have survived to this day.

However, the harvest has not been good in the past two years. Every family has no surplus food. Let alone help me, it will be a problem for everyone to eat by themselves.

I'm so bad, so don't drag others down...

General, Chu Xiong is already very grateful for your visit to me today.

But if I came to give me a gift, there was no need. Although I had no money or ability, I didn’t want to live like this anymore.

Maybe the best destination was to die in the battle."
