Chapter 118: Stretcher

"Don't you have a stretcher here?"

When Xie Xiaoman approached Xue Zicheng again, the latter was discussing things with the sergeants.

"Stretcher?" Xue Zicheng was slightly stunned.

"Well, it's two bamboos or pieces of wood that are supported on both sides, connected by a sturdy cloth in the middle, which can be used to transport the wounded." Xie Xiaoman roughly described the appearance of the stretcher, "The bamboo is longer than the cloth, so it is easier for the transporter to grasp." Two people in front and two people will carry it, and it will be easier for those who are transporting the wounded to lift it. Moreover, for the wounded themselves, the wound will not be damaged a second time. Just like the one in Fangcai, if he was carried on a stretcher, it shouldn't have happened before. ā€

The soldier who had just spoken to Xue Zicheng looked at Xie Xiaoman with some stunned eyes at this time and blinked.

"Do you hear that?" Xue Zicheng groaned slightly, turned his head to look at the soldier, "Tell your commander, go and prepare now, and you have to grasp the quantity." ā€

"Yes! Subordinates understand! The soldier immediately received the order, turned around and walked a few steps quickly, but he couldn't help but stop with some hesitation, and turned his head embarrassedly and looked at Xie Xiaoman.

"I'll be in the cabin, and I'll draw a rough plan for them to send you. If you still have questions, you can come to me directly. Xie Xiaoman said lightly.

The soldier was overjoyed, and bowed with his fists: "Thank you more...... Wife! Speaking of the latter salutation, the soldier was obviously embarrassed again, so he had to pick up a call that was not easy to make mistakes, and hurriedly left the place as if fleeing.

Xue Zicheng smiled slightly, and also hugged his fist at Xie Xiaoman: "Miss Xie is delicate. I thanked Miss Xie for the wounded in the future. ā€

Xie Xiaoman glanced at him, didn't want to say more, and turned to leave.

Xue Zicheng looked at her back. A slight sigh.

……

……

"Sister, this room is relatively quiet, not easy to be disturbed by injuries, Sister, you can rest here."

Xie Xuan led Xie Xiaoman to a room on the left at the end of the corridor and introduced him with a smile.

"Thank you." Xie Xiaoman nodded at him, "Is your room arranged?" ā€

"Well, it's on the other side."

"What about the others?"

"They're a little crammed into the room at the end." Xie Xuan saw Xie Xiaoman's eyebrows raised slightly. probably guessed her thoughts, scratched her head and smiled: "There are seven of them, and there must be a few who take turns to be on duty at night." It's just my house. There were two servants who changed shifts in the first half of the night and the second half of the night. The four beds in that room are still almost arranged. ā€

Xie Xiaoman thought about it and felt that this was Xie Xuan's family affair after all, and he really didn't need to get involved too much. So he nodded.

"Look at your complexion. Got a fight with someone? Xie Xiaoman casually packed up the futon and said idly.

Xie Xuan was taken aback: "No...... Sister, how do you pick up things by yourself? I'll let them help. ā€

Xie Xiaoman stopped him with a smile: "No need, a few of them are big men, I'm afraid they will feel awkward when they enter my house, it's just some trivial things, and I'm used to doing it." ā€

Seeing that she insisted, Xie Xuan didn't persuade her anymore, but just watched Xie Xiaoman's movements from the side. I can't help but feel a little sour in my heart. No matter what kind of side branch Sister Xiaoman is, she is the bloodline of my Chen County Xie family after all. How can you get used to doing this kind of thing?

Although Uncle An Shi admires Sister Xiaoman very much, it seems that Sister still needs a lot of care!

Xie Xuan thought like this, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, after he was ready to return to Jiankang City, he would find a few diligent maids and servants and send them to Sister Xiaoman.

Where did Xie Xiaoman know these thoughts of Xie Xuan, at this time, he caught a glimpse of his thoughtful appearance, and thought that it was the result of an argument with the servant, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to be too angry, what to call or not, I don't care much about it." Also, I don't have a good reputation, and it's not something to hide. ā€

Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "Sister, Sister, how do you know?" ā€

The dispute between him and the servant just now was obviously far away from Xie Xiaoman, how could she hear it?

"Don't forget, no matter what, I'm also a cultivator." Xie Xiaoman smiled slightly and pointed to his ears, "This kind of thing is to describe me." ā€

"How can anyone praise himself like this?" Xie Xuan was amused by Xie Xiaoman, and scratched his head shyly, "That guy, he is usually lazy, I have heard about some things originally, and once, I even found out that he asked those rough servants for filial piety money." There are a lot of things accumulated, and I just mind a reason to get rid of him, Sister Xiaoman, don't mind. They are right, we have just done it in a bit of a hurry, and now after all, we are on the military ship of the Western Army, and if the matter is known to everyone, it is indeed inappropriate. ā€

Xie Xiaoman listened to his tirade, and couldn't help but be surprised and funny, shook his head and smiled: "I'm just casually unraveling you, I'm afraid that you have a problem in my heart, who knew that there were so many things involved?" That's it! It's no wonder that children like you from a big family are precocious, and they think about these complicated things all day long, and a small thing involves so many aspects, and I really can't learn it because I don't have any scruples. ā€

When Xie Xuan heard this, his face turned even redder, and he said eagerly: "Sister Xiaoman, don't say this!" You are also a member of our Chenjun Xie clan! I—I don't mean anything else. ā€

Seeing Xie Xuan scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, no longer having the graceful demeanor he had before, and finally revealing the appearance of a fourteen and a half-year-old Zhengtai, Xie Xiaoman felt happy. At this time, he laughed twice, walked up and rubbed his head, and said with a smile: "You! Don't think about it! I'm praising you, and I don't know what you're hearing about your little head. I don't mean anything else, if I offend you somewhere, please forgive me, okay? ā€

Where had Xie Xuan ever seen such a thing, his eyes widened for a while, and he looked at Xie Xiaoman with watery eyes.

Xie Xiaoman only felt that he was facing more like a puppy, and couldn't help but rub his head again.

Xie Xuan has not yet tied his hair, and he is really at the age of yellow hair hanging down. Such a little guy actually came to pick him up and go home, which is already cute in itself. Now the little guy has even said something about how to use the topic to punish the servants, which is really amazing in addition to appreciation.

If this is a thousand years later, fourteen-year-old children are busy preparing for the high school entrance examination, and in addition to studying, they may have to learn some messy talents, where can they be so scheming in the world? But such a thing, for Xie Xuan himself, is like something that exists in instinct, which is naturally the result of hearing and seeing.

What kind of existence is the well-dressed people?

Thinking of this, Xie Xiaoman couldn't help but admire. Even if he is a member of it now, his real understanding of the Shi clan is only the tip of the iceberg.

Nearby, the sound of the stove crackling came, and the hot water that was boiling on it began to gurgle, and the lid of the pot was lifted from time to time.

"Did you bring tea or something? I'll make hot water, please drink tea. Xie Xiaoman said with a smile.

"Bring it! Bring! Xie Xuan grinned, "Huai'an's water and clouds, it's just that this season is not too good, and the aroma may not be as fragrant as when it is picked in spring, okay?" ā€

Xie Xiaoman waved his hand casually: "If you have to drink, where is there so much exquisiteness!" ā€

"Okay, I'll let someone get it!" Xie Xuan took two steps out, and then remembered something, "Sister, if we have tea, do you want to invite Master Xue to come with you?" If he is left behind, will it not be good? ā€

Xie Xiaoman asked, "Is your water and cloud between the clouds a good tea?" ā€

"It's good tea! This year, only 100 catties were transported to Jiankang City, and I heard that 30 catties of them were sent to the palace. Drinking it so far, there is only more than a pound left. Xie Xuan smiled shyly, "I came this time, and my mother was afraid that I would not adapt to the water and soil along the way, so I asked for three taels from my father, wrapped it and took it." Sister Xiaoman, our tea is definitely a good thing, although it is not as good as spring tea now, but it is also a good product in the world. If you use it to invite Lord Xue, you won't be ashamed. ā€

"That's ......," Xie Xiaoman smiled, "Then you can't invite Lord Xue." ā€

"Huh?" Xie Xuan was stupid.

"Such a good thing, if you let Lord Xue drink it, wouldn't it be playing the piano to the cow?" Xie Xiaoman explained seriously.

"In that case, I'm going to have to try it even more." Xue Zicheng appeared at the door at this time, arched his hand at Xie Xuan, and said with a smile, "Little Xie Langjun, it seems that Xue is lucky today, and he can even get a good cup of tea." ā€

"Ahh Lord Xue! Xie Xuan's little face suddenly turned red, but he still returned the salute, and his demeanor was not chaotic at all, "I'll go and prepare!" Please wait! ā€

Xue Zicheng turned sideways to avoid it, looked at Xie Xuan's back with a smile, shook his head and sighed: "The style of the family is really extraordinary. ā€

Xie Xiaoman smiled slightly and looked at Xue Zicheng: "Come to ask for drawings?" ā€

"Yes! I'm tired! Xue Zicheng threw his hand at her.

This kind of thing, Xie Xiaoman naturally won't prevaricate, walked to the side of the desk to prepare the pen and ink, picked a very thin wolf, and Sifu drew the structure of the stretcher.

Xue Zicheng watched from the sidelines, and didn't feel anything at first, but later, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Miss Xie actually knows how to study civil engineering?" ā€

"What's that?" Xie Xiaoman was puzzled.

Xue Zicheng explained: "I have seen these kinds of drawings painted by craftsmen who are responsible for the construction of pavilions and the like, and the form is different from ordinary flower and bird brushwork, and it is much more detailed. However, Miss Xie's technique seems to be much more sophisticated than their technique, how it looks like it is about to come out of the painting, it is really amazing! (To be continued......)
