Chapter 18: A Thousand Turns (6)
Jingyi didn't wake up, and her reaction was sluggish. But Ya Mei sighed and said, "Atul is back at this time?" Qiu Wei, let him come up. Jingyi, go out and have a look. It must have been Lao Qi who asked Atul to come back. ”
Jingyi got out of bed and shook her body slightly.
Look at yourself and go out with Yamei.
As soon as she saw Tu Huyi, she was stunned - Tu Huyi's arm was hanging, and he was injured. But he smiled, saluted her, and said, "Young grandmother, I am fortunate to be in time to congratulate young grandmother on her birthday." ”
Jing Yi looked at him, reacted and said thank you first, and asked, "Why is it hurt?" Is it serious? ”
Tu Huyi shook his arm and smiled nonchalantly: "It's not serious." It's just that the bandaging technique of the military doctor is too bad. Young grandma, this is a letter from Qishao to you. And this. ”
Jing Yi took the letter, and looked at the picture and asked Huyi to send a hastily wrapped wooden box. She touched the box. The wood is a bit rough, and it looks like a whole piece of wood has been cut off and hastily chiseled. When I opened it, there was a stone inside. Yellowish-brown with tiny shimmering lights under the lamp.
"This is the Wind Stone. There are many such stones in the Yadan landform. We passed through the black desert, and the young master found that this stone was in a beautiful shape, and it was accepted by people...... I couldn't see what shape it was, and the young master only said that I should send it back to celebrate the young grandmother's birthday. Tu Huyi grinned.
Jingyi looked at him.
After going out for a long time, Tu Huyi was black and thin, as if he had been dried by the air.
Her throat was a little dry, and she asked, "Why did you go to the Black Desert?" She also looked at the map, and there were many routes into Xinjiang, and the road through the Black Desert was the most difficult. She didn't know how many dangers they had experienced, only to see that Tu Huyi was injured...... She cleared her throat, "Atul, go and rest." Come over tomorrow, I'll ask you again. ”
"Yes, young grandma. I'll have to see how the wounded are doing. The young master thought that I was injured and was in the way, so he sent me to escort the seriously wounded and prisoners back. I'm done handing this over, and I'm going to have to go back right away. After Tu Huyi finished speaking, he saluted her and left with someone.
Jingyi took the letter and stood there for a moment, only to realize that Yamei was always by her side, but she didn't say a word. She turned her face to look at Yamei, and when she saw that she was looking at herself, she couldn't help but go over and lay on her shoulder. Yamei didn't say anything, just stroked her arm.
"The second sister-in-law should also go and rest. I'm all right. Jingyi whispered.
Yamei listened to her nasal voice and nodded. didn't let her send it out, and before leaving, she told Zhang's mother to take a good look at the young grandmother.
Mother Zhang closed the door and came back, seeing that Jingyi was no longer in the living room, and saw that Yue'er and Qiuwei were still there, and asked, "Why don't you go up and look at the young grandmother?" ”
Yue'er and Qiuwei both shook their heads and said, "Don't let us follow." ”
Zhang's mother sighed, saw that the two of them were guarding the wooden box, and hurried them to go to bed, she also took a look, and was about to cover it with red silk, when Yue'er asked Qiu Wei: "Sister Qiu Wei, is the stone beautiful?" Why did the Seventh Young Master come all the way to send such a gift back? ”
"It's not pretty." Qiu Wei replied immediately.
Zhang's mother couldn't help but say, "What do you know, this wood is poplar wood." The stone is a wind stone. It's all good things that will last forever. ”
As she spoke, the wooden box was covered. Seeing that Qiu Wei was still stunned, he rushed her up to guard Jingyi.
Qiu Wei grimaced at Mama Zhang with a smile and said, "Mama Zhang is still in a hurry, didn't she just say something that was not good-looking...... I'll go up, and I'll go ......."
Zhang's mother couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you know what kind of sacred tree Populus euphratica is in the northwest?" Populus euphratica 'lives for 3,000 years without dying, dies for 3,000 years without falling, and does not dissolve for 3,000 years'......" She smiled, turned around, turned off the lights in the hall one by one, and beckoned Yue'er to go to sleep in the next room together.
Qiu Wei ran upstairs and watched the white lion lying on the blanket at the door of Jingyi's bedroom, and looked inside, sure enough, Jingyi was sitting inside. Seeing her coming, Jingyi looked at her before putting down the letter in her hand.
Qiu Wei poured Jing Yi a cup of tea, brought it over and asked, "What is written in my uncle's letter?" Do you say when you will be back? ”
Jingyi shook her head and said, "It's nothing. ”
She was out of her mind for a while.
Qiu Wei saw her like this, sat down at her feet, remembered what Zhang's mother had just said, and relayed it. She said to herself, but she didn't hear Jingyi respond, and when she looked up, Jingyi was already asleep on the couch.
When he fell asleep, the letters in his hand were scattered.
In fact, there is only a thin piece of letterhead. The few short lines on the letter seem to have been written in a hurry, and they are a bit confusing...... Qiu Wei didn't dare to read the content, so she picked up the letter and put it away.

The next day, Jingyi woke up, because Tao Shengchuan was in poor health recently, and was recuperating at home. When she got up early, she went to the room first to say hello to Tao Shengchuan and his wife. Early in the morning, the Er'an sisters were here to accompany them. When Jingyi saw her in-laws, she talked about Tao Xiang sending someone back to visit, and learned that Tao Xiang also had a letter to her parents.
Seeing that Jingyi's face was pale, Mrs. Tao knew that it was because of a hangover, so she specially instructed the people who followed her to take good care of her.
Recently, because she was going to go abroad, Mrs. Tao was always a little strict with her. Jingyi was comforted by her soft words, and was somewhat flattered. She looked at it carefully and felt that even Er An Eryi seemed to be a little polite to her. Jingyi felt even more that something was wrong, as if she had suddenly separated from them.
Jingyi stayed for a while, and as usual, she wanted to go to the old lady of Xuanruitang, quit, and met Tao Jun's family of three. Jingyi greeted Tao Jun and was about to leave, when Tao Jun reminded: "I heard that many seriously injured people were sent back from the front? ”
"Yes, big brother." Jingyi nodded.
Although Atul didn't elaborate on it last night, she had asked Atul before she came out this morning. The conditions of the field hospital at the front were limited and could not accommodate so many wounded, so the Air Force had to send transport planes to send the seriously wounded back to the rear for treatment. The first batch arrived yesterday, and several more will be delivered in the next two days.
Although she heard that it was only a vague batch, and she didn't know how many people there were, she could guess how many casualties ahead...... She looked at Tao Jun. Since Tao Jun would ask this, he naturally understands something. He is a person who has led soldiers and fought in battles, and he can only see the situation more clearly than her.
Tao Jun nodded to her and said, "There are so many wounded, I'm afraid there are many casualties on the front line." Are you worried? ”
Jingyi looked at him and nodded.
Fu Lizhen stood beside Tao Jun and whispered at this time: "Rouzhi, don't talk about this, the seventh sister is worried enough." Get on in. ”
Jing Yi turned sideways to give way, and Tao Jun didn't say anything else, just glanced at Jing Yi again.
Fushun pushed the wheelchair and walked first, Fu Lizhen took Qilin'er and said to Jingyi: "I heard about it last night, and I was a little unhappy. Let me say that these external things have nothing to do with him, and don't worry about it, but don't listen. Seventh sister, don't go to your heart, she is a person who loves to worry. ”
Fu Lizhen lowered her eyes, touched Qilin'er's head, and smiled softly.
Qilin'er looked at Jingyi and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, Uncle Attu is injured, is Uncle Seventh okay?" ”
Jingyi looked at him worriedly...... I don't know why a child at such a young age has such an expression. She bent down, smiled at him and shook her head, and said, "Lin'er, don't worry, Uncle Seven is fine." ”
Although she said this, she couldn't help but think of Attu's crisp answer when she asked Atul Qishao if everything was okay just now. It's all right, so she doesn't have to worry about it. The answers were a little too crisp and clear, without loopholes, and it was more like making it up for her to believe.
The more this happened, the more suspicious she became.
"Of course Uncle Seven is fine. Lin'er, don't talk nonsense. Fu Lizhen blamed Qilin'er.
"Oh," Qilin nodded, still looking at Jing Yi, as if he didn't believe it, "Daddy said the same. He said that if Uncle Seven couldn't even win this battle, it would really be a shame for the Tao family. ”
Jing Yi was stunned in her heart, and said with a smile: "How can your seventh uncle not win?" He can win any battle. As she spoke, she winked at Qilin'er.
"I know. Uncle Seven is the best. Kirin grinned.
He's still changing his teeth, and when he laughs, he leaks. I also knew that it was indecent, so I hurriedly raised my hand and shook my mouth.
"It's really naughty, I tell my aunt everything. Who will dare to say anything to you in the future? Fu Lizhen also smiled and looked at Jing Yi, "If you don't go to your heart, I'm afraid it's just a matter of talking." The seventh sister is about to leave, these beatings and killings, it is better to leave them to the men, you are like the eighth sister, ready to go out with peace of mind. ”
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Jingyi to say anything, and pulled Qilin'er and went to the upper room.
"Mother, where is my aunt going?" Kirin struggled up the steps. The steps were a little higher, and he was still short.
Fu Lizhen was silent for a moment, and looked up to see Tao Jun waiting for their mother and son. Fu Shun held the wheelchair, and Tao Jun glanced into the distance before looking at them again. She said, "Your little aunt, you have to go a long way." ”
"Where is it far away? My aunt also said that she would go far away in the future, would my aunt be as far away as my aunt? Qilin'er asked, stood down, gasped, and looked at Fu's, "It's been a long time since you see your aunt?" ”
Fu smiled, shook his head, and said, "That's not true." Not as far away as my aunt...... My aunt will come back. Why don't you go in? In the last sentence, she asked Tao Jun.
