When Du Shengnian woke up, what he saw was a brand-new beam, and it was hot underneath, not like a hard bed in the barracks.

His mind was still a little dizzy, he remembered that he had chased two enemy spies into the deep forest, and then after killing the two spies with great difficulty, he quickly left towards a populated place.

It's just that he didn't expect that the spy's weapon would be smeared with drugs, and the last scene before he fell unconscious was when he turned into a farmhouse and fell unconscious.

So looking at the current situation, he should have been saved, right?

Du Shengnian coughed twice, then sat up with difficulty, and opened the quilt covering his body to check the injuries on his body.

The wounds on his body had been smeared with herbs, which stopped the bleeding.

He breathed a sigh of relief and began to observe the situation in the room again.

There was only an old wooden table in the large room, but he could tell that it was not occupied yet.

While he was silently observing the situation in the room, he suddenly heard a soft 'squeak', and the door of the room was pushed open from the outside to the inside, only to see a slender, tall woman with half of her face covered by an ugly scar walking towards him with a bowl of steaming porridge.

"Are you awake?" Shen Niannian looked at Du Shengnian in surprise, last night she thought that her eldest cousin didn't wake up so quickly, it seems that his injuries are not as serious as she sees, "Let's eat something first, you were blown by the cold wind outside last night for most of the night, and you were not infected with the wind cold, which is already a great luck." ”

She handed the porridge bowl directly to Du Shengnian, with a faint expression.

After thinking about it all night, she still didn't plan to tell her true identity.

Although I don't know if Du Shengnian already knows the news that Shen Ningshuang is dead, even if she says it, this cousin shouldn't believe it.

Instead, it may be possible to guess her true purpose.

After all, although they have a cousin relationship, in fact, she hasn't spoken to this cousin for a long time, even if she is still spoiled by her eldest cousin when she is not out of the cabinet, she will never believe that such a ridiculous thing happened, right?

"Thank you, girl, may I ask ...... here?" Du Shengnian took the bowl and his eyes fell on the scar that covered half of her face.

If it weren't for the ugly scar, he thought, this girl wouldn't be ugly.

Just now he accidentally saw the half of the face on the side, and he faintly felt familiar, but more importantly, although the half of the face was thin, it looked good.

It's just a pity......

Shen Niannian looked at the pity in his eyes, where could he not guess what the eldest cousin was thinking, although he was a little helpless in his heart, but he was quite relieved that the clarity of the eldest cousin's eyes did not have the slightest disgust and disgust.

"This is Tuozi Village, a small village deep in the mountains on the border, this military master, you were injured and fell at my door last night, and I moved you in with my mother." Shen Niannian smiled indifferently and explained.

Tuozi Village?

Du Shengnian thought back to the border landform in his mind, and was slightly relieved to make sure that he had not inadvertently intruded into the territory of the enemy country, and the smile on his face was a little more sincere: "Thank you girl for saving your life, my surname is Du, what do you call it?" ”

"My surname is Shen." Shen Niannian smiled lightly.

"Surname Shen?" Du Shengnian was slightly surprised, and said half-jokingly: "Miss Shen is a relative of mine with a surname, and judging by your age, you are also about the same as a cousin of mine." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that my talented cousin died of illness a few days ago, and I couldn't even look at it." ”

Shen Niannian was shocked when he heard this, and he knew who Du Shengnian was talking about.

It turned out that the news of her death really spread, and I don't know what the reaction of my father and brother would be after they found out?

Clenching his fists, Shen Niannian tried his best to keep himself calm, blinked, and asked suspiciously, "Died of illness?" Du Gongzi's cousin is young, what kind of emergency is rare? ”

Du Shengnian seemed a little reluctant to mention this matter, but just shook his head and said lightly: "I don't know about this either." ”

Putting down the spoon, Du Shengnian drank the porridge directly with the bowl, then wiped his mouth and handed the bowl to her again: "Thank you girl's porridge, it tastes very good." ”

"It's good that Du Gongzi doesn't feel unpalatable, and we don't have any good things in the countryside to entertain you, please don't mind."

Shen Niannian pretended to smile shyly, put away the bowl and prepared to go out, but his heart was chaotic.

"Wait, Miss Shen, can I ask you to do something for me?" Du Shengnian saw that she was leaving, and hurriedly spoke.

Shen Niannian took the bowl, stopped at the door, and looked at him puzzled: "What is the matter with Gongzi Du?" ”

"I don't want to hide it, I will be injured in the next place, it is caused by the pursuit and killing of two gangsters, I have not returned overnight, I am afraid that some people in the family will be worried, I wonder if I can ask the girl to find someone to find a pen and paper for me, and help me send a letter to a medical center in the county?" Du Shengnian arched his hand, his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't look like he was lying.

Shen Niannian nodded, but a trace of thought rose in his heart, but there was no sign on his face, "Du Gongzi, please wait a moment, I'll go find a pen and paper." ”

Closing the door, Shen Niannian clenched his fists, looked at the main room, walked over directly, pushed open the door, and saw that Shen was making clothes, looking like that style was for men, it should be for Brother An or Brother Qi.

"What, the military master woke up?" Shen Xiuniang bit off the silk thread, heard the sound of pushing the door, and looked up at her and asked.

"Mother, the military master is indeed awake, but he said that he wants me to send him a letter." Shen Niannian didn't hide it, he directly put the bowl on the table, sat down next to Shen on the kang, and whispered.

Shen Xiuniang frowned slightly: "On this cold day, Brother Qi said some time ago that the town is not very safe, how can you go out casually if you are a girl?" ”

"Mother, but I think that the military master doesn't seem to have a low status, in case there is something important to write in the letter, if we don't go, will we delay any important things?" Shen Niannian deliberately made what Du Shengnian told him several times more serious, revealing the very important meaning of this letter inside and out.

Shen Xiuniang frowned, with a little hesitation on her slightly old face.

The border is unsafe all year round, and every winter, foreign enemies invade to rob the people of the border.

In the past, when this place was still part of the three-regardless zone, the people were always struggling to make a living, and it was later assigned to King Ling as a fief, so that the people lived a stable life.

Therefore, the people on this border have a very respectful heart for the military masters, and if there is really something, the people will also be obliged to help these military masters who can protect them and live a stable life.

So this is also one of Shen Xiuniang's wishes to save Du Shengnian.

If the military master really has something important to write in the letter, if he doesn't send it, what will be delayed, but it is not something that ordinary people like them can afford.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiuniang looked at Shen Niannian with some concern, "This ...... Why don't you find someone else to deliver it? You are a girl's house, and my mother is not worried that you are walking alone outside. ”

Shen Niannian also knew that it was impossible for him to send the letter, so he didn't refute it, so he nodded: "Nacheng, mother, I'll go get a pen and paper and send it to the military master." ”

Shen Xiuniang nodded, took out a bunch of keys and gave it to her, and motioned for her to go to the paper and pen in the small storeroom by herself.

This ink-paper inkstone was secretly prepared by her for An Ge'er before, that is, she planned to wait for the house to be built, so that An Ge'er could learn something when she came over occasionally, and even Shen planned to let An Ge'er go to school.

Shen Niannian took the key, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly took the bowl and left.

In the end, her purpose was actually to get something out of the small storeroom.
