Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Battle of Wits and Courage
"The general asked me to take you to the medicine tent to have a look." Gu Yi led the way in front.
Ah Xiu's brows furrowed slightly: "Why are you taking me to see the medicine tent?" She had a premonition that she was not very good.
"Let you familiarize yourself with it first." Gu Yi glanced back at Ah Xiu, did she say something wrong, why did she suddenly look so ugly.
"Brother Gu, if I'm not mistaken, I was kidnapped by you......" Ah Xiu said angrily, as a victim, he didn't settle accounts with them, even if he was benevolent.
Do they still expect the victims to help them get medical treatment?
That's naΓ―ve!
"This ......" Gu looked embarrassed for a while, and they all selectively ignored this fact, "You also have to know that there is no doctor in this army now......
"I know that, but." Ah Xiu accentuated his tone: "This doesn't mean that I want to take everything on myself." β
Although she doesn't care much, it doesn't mean that she is a bun.
She has her own principles!
"That, Ah Xiu......" Gu Yi didn't understand what the Holy Mother meant, but this didn't prevent him from understanding the meaning of the whole sentence.
It's just that he was originally a stupid person, and now Ah Xiu's attitude is so tough, he suddenly didn't know what words Lu Dao used to persuade her.
Or in fact, in his heart, he actually felt that Ah Xiu's attitude was not wrong.
"No matter what you say, I still say that, I don't have such an obligation, or you will raise an idler for nothing. Or you'll send me back." Ah Xiu thought of the second possibility, and he couldn't wait for it!
"Miss Axiu......" Gu Yi's face turned red, and he couldn't hold back the second sentence.
Such an errand should not have been done by him in the first place, he was stupid, but the general handed over the matter to him.
"This is arranged by your general." Ah Xiu scolded "lack of morality" in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
She knew in her heart that her status in Gu Yi's mind was much lower than that general, so she didn't have to measure herself to that point.
"Big brother, the general said to invite Miss Axiu to go to the camp to talk." Gu Xiaoqi saw the two of them standing on the road and facing each other, so he ran over and glanced at Ah Xiu with a somewhat complicated expression.
Ah Xiu was not in a very happy mood. Seeing Gu Xiaoqi look at her like this. Immediately rolled his eyes at him.
Anyway, she is not a lady, so she doesn't have to worry about image at all.
"Then let's go over." Gu Yi looked at Ah Xiu again, he had always felt that it was a little difficult for Ah Xiu and his own general to get along, and now she was in a bad mood. Won't there be a quarrel later?
Gu Yi thought of his general's temperament who didn't know what it was to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. I can't help but worry about Ah Xiu.
He has always regarded Ah Xiu as his sister. Naturally, deep down in her heart, she still has a certain desire to protect, as well as a trace of guilt.
Ah Xiu thought that he would see the mean appearance of the door-slamming general later, but he had some fighting spirit in his heart.
See what he wants to do with himself!
Gu Yi and Gu Xiaoqi both looked at Ah Xiu a little blankly, and suddenly became more aggressive. What's going on here?
"Miss Axiu." Gu Jingling was wearing armor, although she was just sitting quietly on the couch, she had a murderous aura that was difficult to ignore.
This is proof that you have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy.
Ah Xiu choked in his heart, was he planning to make her succumb in momentum?
Such a big frame is obviously a foul!
Ah Xiu settled down and said: "General Gu, although there is a scarcity of doctors in the army now, the little girl is only twelve years old, and she is embarrassed to take on a big responsibility, so she doesn't want to go back, she just wants to live a stable life." β
Ah Xiu said this pitifully, and deliberately slowed down the speed of speech, if the enemy is strong, I will be weak, anyway, she is a girl, and it is okay to show weakness.
And sometimes the effect of showing weakness is better than that of strong bumps.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Gu Jingling's face changed quickly.
He originally thought that Ah Xiu was young, and he shouldn't be so hard-mouthed when he was so strong, but he didn't expect that she would have time to get along with such a trick.
He still underestimated her!
"The soldiers sacrificed themselves to defend the country, and Miss Axiu, as a woman, did not need to shed her blood for the country, but ......"
"Ah Xiu has always admired those soldiers for the sake of this country, but General Gu!" Ah Xiu's voice raised a tone: "Ah Xiu is just a woman, and there are all men in this army, how do you let Ah Xiu deal with himself!" β
Ah Xiu said that men and women can't kiss!
She knew that this general was born in a high family, so where would she not know this.
Although she usually doesn't care about these things, at this time, it's good to be able to make an excuse.
Especially when he could see Gu Jingling's deflated appearance, Ah Xiu was even more satisfied.
Gu Jingling was not a person who was good at rhetoric, and he had the energy to talk to Ah Xiu because he had no other choice.
Unexpectedly, Ah Xiu was much more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
And as far as her conversation is concerned, she doesn't look like an ordinary village girl at all.
With such a calm and deliberate pressure on him, Gu Jingling thought of those younger sisters, who had been exposed to weapons since childhood, and they might not have such determination.
He began to be a little curious, who this Ah Xiu was.
But the most important thing now is to get her to agree to do the healing.
In the previous battle, there were still many injuries that needed to be dealt with in order to deal with the next war.
"Heal one, three taels of silver." Gu Jingling raised her eyes slightly, looked at Ah Xiu and said.
Ah Xiu's words that she had planned to do well were suddenly blocked in her throat, and his words were something she never expected.
What she didn't expect was that he would back down so quickly.
This surprised her, but also strangely a little lost.
"As I said before, the price of treatment is different for each patient, and not every patient is as cheap as three taels of silver." Ah Xiu said with a kind smile.
This means something, and the people present can hear it even if their minds are straight.
The price of seeing a doctor before was three taels, who else could there be besides Gu Jingling.
Sure enough, Gu Jingling's face sank suddenly, but although he didn't know what it was since he was a child, he was also taught not to do anything with women casually.
He slowly exhaled the breath in his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Then you say, how do you count?" β
If it weren't for the fact that time was tight now, and it was difficult to find a capable doctor, where would he have the patience to negotiate terms with her here.
He just liked her ability to deal with trauma.
When Ah Xiu heard this, some villains suddenly became smug and excited: "Then you have to have a specific condition, and you have to collect money specifically." β
"Then aren't you sitting on the ground and starting the price!" Gu Xiaoqi listened on the sidelines and couldn't help but interject.
According to Ah Xiu, that's not how much she wants, then how much she has to give!
Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, isn't it all at once emptied?
Ah Xiu smiled "hehe", and did not deny it, she is just sitting on the ground and starting the price, so what, they have the ability to find others, she is not willing to take this job!
"It's okay if you don't say yes."
In such a comparison, it seems that Ah Xiu is more chic, but Gu Jingling has more scruples on his side.
"In this case, just set a maximum price, and it should not be exceeded." Gu Jingling was not good at bargaining like this, so she pinched her eyebrows with her hand.
Sure enough, women are trouble.
Those noble girls are too squeamish, talk too much, and smell too strong, but Ah Xiu is even more terrifying, calculating, and greedy.
"I'm not a person who cares, if it's a traumatic injury, sewing limbs, one or two each, if it's a chest or back, across a big one, then collect three taels, prescribe another prescription, if you want me to make medicine, then you have to count it again." Ah Xiu said while breaking his fingers.
In fact, she is not very good at math, and when there are many people, she will be able to figure out where she is.
But she deliberately said this now, just to make Gu Jingling unhappy.
She also said before, she is the kind of person who makes me unhappy, and I will make you unhappy!
"Okay." Gu Jingling waved his hand a little bored, he felt that if he stayed in a camp tent with Ah Xiu any longer, the corner of the small few in front of him would be crushed by him.
"Since you agreed, let's make a note, lest someone won't remember when the time comes." Ah Xiu didn't forget to cover his mouth after speaking, and smiled shyly: "My memory has never been very good. β
"Click", the corner of the small few was not saved in the end.
"Gu Yi, go get a pen and paper." Gu Jingling was more displeased, and her tone was normal.
Gu Yi watched the confrontation between the two people, and was terrified, this Ah Xiu was too bold.
He'd been sweating for her a few times.
If it weren't for the fearlessness, Ah Xiu wouldn't have such courage.
Gu Jingling's words are very strong, and coupled with the current mood, all the pen and ink are on the case.
"I heard that in the past, it was good to describe a person's handwriting, called 'three points into the wood', and the word general is not far behind." Ah Xiu said with a smile.
Gu Jingling didn't know where she said that she was actually sarcastic about herself, snorted lightly, and put the pen aside: "Take a look." β
Ah Xiu didn't look at it much, just dried the paper and put it in his arms.
Although this Gu Jingling is more picky, her character should still be okay.
"Now, Gu Yi, you take her to the medicine tent." Gu Jingling waved her hand at them and motioned for them to leave quickly.
Gu Yi was stunned when he watched the confrontation between them, as if the little sister he thought he should protect had become even more awesome than himself.
"Then I'll take my leave!" Ah Xiu left the camp happily this time.
Compared with the money, Ah Xiu was even more pleased to see Gu Jingling deflated.
It is said that a woman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, she can be regarded as avenging her revenge when he was in her house before, and looked down on her! (To be continued......)
