Chapter 248: Comfort in disguise
Because Pei Yan got married, although Gu Jinrong was accompanied by other maids, she was still a little unaccustomed to it.
This Binzhou is not an ordinary place, she came over this time, and she brought a maid named Luzhu with her.
It's just that the little girl's body and bones are weaker than Ah Xiu's, and before she arrived in Binzhou, she fell first.
Of course, it may also be because she doesn't have a white tiger skin to protect her from the cold.
Gu Jinrong was not a harsh master, she knew that the environment in Binzhou was harsh, so she left Luzhu at an inn halfway through, and waited for them to go back and pick them up.
Otherwise, when this arrives in Binzhou, the condition may be even more severe.
When she arrived at the mansion of Binzhou Zhizhou, Mrs. Zhizhou saw that Gu Jinrong did not bring a personal maid, and she was very enthusiastic to send the maid next to her.
It's just that this intention, whether it is to take care of people or to spy by the way, then it is unknown.
After all, this Gu Jingling disappeared on the Binzhou boundary, and if there was a case, they would be to blame.
After sorting things out briefly, Ah Xiu and Gu Jinrong settled down so much.
However, their minds are not on food, clothing, housing and transportation now, they are staring out the door, waiting for Gu Yi to come back with good news.
It's a pity that he didn't come back in frustration until it was dark for two hours.
You don't have to speak, you know that the result is still no one found.
"There's no sign of anyone over there, so we've looked around the neighborhood." Gu Er said very sadly.
The sun has gone down, and the day has been wasted. It's been eight days now, and the generals only have some emergency rations on them.
If you wait a few more days, even if you find someone, you can't tell if you live or die.
"Ming'er might as well let me go with you, maybe I can find something." Gu Jinrong said.
Although she was disappointed in her heart, she didn't come out, and if she could find someone on the first day, it would seem too easy.
Then Gu Er, they won't be sad for so long.
"I'll go with you, too." A furry figure walked over from the side, and at a cursory glance, it looked like a big fur ball.
"You're not in good shape. Let's stay here. Gu Jinrong said. Ah Xiu's foundation is not as good as them, and the climate on the mountain is a little colder than here, so where can she let Ah Xiu go with her.
"It's okay, I just made an ointment. If you eat it. The body can warm up for several hours. If you don't believe me, you'll eat some tomorrow. Ah Xiu said.
She happened to come from Gu Nineteen and them, and the frostbite on his and Gu San's bodies was very bad. Many places have festered, and she has just cleaned them up for a long time.
Although they also provide medicinal herbs here, but now that everyone is busy fighting the disaster, who can have so much thought about them.
They don't blame others, after all, compared to the lives of the general public, these chilblains on their bodies are really nothing.
And the ointment that Ah Xiu just said was something she thought of when she was on the road, and she also used the characteristics of some plants to make a potion, which can be hot when applied to the body, but it is a little stimulating, and it is okay to use it occasionally, but if you use it too much, your skin will definitely not be able to stand it.
Seeing that Ah Xiu's attitude was more firm, Gu Jinrong no longer refused, after all, it was indeed a good thing to have a doctor to follow.
"Where was the first place where this snow-capped mountain collapsed?" Ah Xiu asked casually.
"It's the easternmost side, there's been three avalanches, and the road is almost completely buried, and we've gone up once, but we haven't found any traces."
They have searched almost the entire mountain range of this Daqi Mountain.
That's why they don't understand, where did this Gu Jingling go?
"I think there's a good chance of going east." Ah Xiu said.
She also only has a feeling, she has a talent for medicine, and in other things, she can only rely on intuition.
Ah Xiu himself can't say why.
When Gu Er heard Ah Xiu say this, there was a trace of embarrassment on his face.
"The terrain to the east is relatively steep, and the snow is blocking the way, so it is not easy to go up, and I have been there before, so those people may not agree." Gu Er said, after all, he is the only one who can move freely in the Guards now, although the generals brought by the general before are also there, but the number is not large, and it depends on the local generals in Binzhou.
But now there are many places that have been plagued by snowstorms, and their daily tasks are also very heavy, and it is really difficult to get them to follow them to the east without certain evidence.
"This ......" Ah Xiu couldn't say anything, after all, he really didn't have any evidence.
She just felt that if there was a snow disaster in the east first, she would subconsciously feel that the chance of another snow disaster would be even smaller, so she would go that way.
It's just that she just heard Gu Yi say that there were three avalanches in the east, so she might really guess wrong.
"I'll talk to them tomorrow." Gu Er said, now they have no clue, at least it would be good for Ah Xiu to point out a direction for them.
Even if the results are not necessarily satisfactory.
But it's better than staying here and doing things in a hurry.
"I'll go with you tomorrow." Gu Jinrong said with some eagerness, this Gu Er is just an ordinary general, and he doesn't have much confidence to speak.
And Gu Jinrong can be regarded as the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and her words naturally carry more weight than him.
Gu Er nodded, there was no other way now.
The general is not there, the dragons are leaderless, and this Binzhou governor is a little conceited.
If he went to find it, even if he was willing to call someone, it wouldn't be too good.
During this time, he has seen many such scenes.
"Then the subordinate will take his leave first." After Gu Er finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Now that the general is gone, the morale has plummeted, and today is a busy day, so he naturally wants to encourage them, so as not to lose expectations.
Gu Qi did this thing back then, although he was younger than himself, he was much smarter than himself.
And he is more convincing than he is.
He's always been stupid, if it weren't for the special situation now. He didn't believe he could do anything like that.
Gu Jinrong watched Gu Er leave with some dazedness, and sighed slightly.
When Ah Xiu also left, Gu Jinrong was a little tired and rubbed her cheeks, which were still cold because of the wind, and the current situation made her feel powerless for a moment.
She swore what she said before she came, but now in the face of such a clueless thing, she has a trace of worry.
Ah Lingta......
Since Gu Jingling began to lead troops to the battlefield alone, Gu Jinrong has never worried about him so much.
She knew that he was a man with ideals, ambitions, and abilities. But now. She was scared.
Obviously, I think I should believe that he is fine, but ......
"Sister Gu." Ah Xiu tapped the door lightly.
Gu Jinrong was slightly startled, didn't she leave?
"Is there something wrong?" She took a deep breath and calmed down all the feelings in her heart. He asked out loud.
"I just wanted to talk to you." Ah Xiu's voice was in the night. It seems a little gentle.
Gu Jinrong was stunned. But he still stood up and opened the door.
Ah Xiu was still wearing the tiger skin cloak because of her small size. Part of the cloak was dragged to the ground.
"It's not early, why don't you go to bed yet?" Gu Jinrong said deliberately, she didn't want Ah Xiu to see her vulnerable side.
Originally, Ah Xiu was pulled over by her, but now if she shows that kind of affection first, it will inevitably affect her state.
"I'm just a little hungry, so I want to find Sister Gu to eat together." Ah Xiu said with a smile, and without waiting for Gu Jinrong to react, he walked into the house by himself.
"It's warm in your house." Ah Xiu said as he took off his cloak, and at first glance he didn't plan to leave immediately.
"This is what I made specifically for the lady in the kitchen, and I don't know if you like it or not." Ah Xiu put a small food box in his arms on the table.
Just now, because it was hidden in the cloak, Gu Jinrong didn't notice it.
"What is this?" Gu Jinrong closed the door, since everyone was let in, she naturally had no reason to drive people out again.
"This is a wine-stuffed egg." Ah Xiu opened the lid of the food box and took out two small bowls of wine-stuffed eggs from inside.
"I've never seen it before." Gu Jinrong looked at this bowl of simple-looking wine-stuffed eggs and said, not only had she never seen it, but she had never heard of it.
It's not that they don't have wine-brewed eggs over there, but it's not the same thing as this.
Their wine-stuffed eggs and mash eggs over there are the same thing, and Ah Xiu's is similar to egg custard, but the appearance is not delicate enough, and the color is a little strange.
"How does it taste if you taste it?" Ah Xiu pushed a bowl in front of Gu Jinrong.
In fact, at this hour, where is there any lady in the kitchen, this thing is tossed by herself.
She's not good at cooking, she really can't make snacks, and this wine-stuffed egg is something she likes in modern times.
One is because it is sweet and has the smell of wine, and the other is that it has a very good effect on menstrual cramps.
This is a method that her mother had taught her before, although it is not known whether there is any scientific basis for it.
She hadn't eaten it for almost a decade, and today it was only on a whim that she thought of it.
Ah Xiu knew that Gu Jinrong's current love was definitely not very stable, and he had experienced the rush on the road and the disappointment just now.
Gu Jinrong is just an ordinary teenage woman, and she is not good at comforting people, so she can only do this.
And she found on the way that these days are Gu Jinrong's little days, and the girl's feelings are not very stable at this time.
Eat something to warm your stomach, and at least your mood will be slightly better.
"It's sweet, and it tastes a little weird, but it's not bad." Gu Jinrong took a bite and tasted a smell of wine.
It's just that after eating it, I felt a burst of warmth, and my lower abdomen, which was originally a little falling, didn't seem to be so sad.
Even the original depressed mood seems to have gotten better. (To be continued......)
